Sanqing Gets Slapped in the Face Again

Seeing Laozi charging at Qing Xuan, Nuwa's expression changed instantly, and the Red Embroidered Ball in her hand flew toward Laozi's chest.

Houtu immediately manifested her Ancestral Witch True Body, standing in front of Qing Xuan. Even Fuxi sat cross-legged beside Qing Xuan, placing the Fu Xi Qin on his lap.

Seeing the three of them protecting him like this, Qing Xuan sighed helplessly. "It seems that in their eyes, my cultivation is still too low."

"But you've overlooked one thing—I have treasures in hand. As long as the Sanqing haven't proven Dao and become saints, I can discipline them on behalf of Pangu."

Though he thought this, Qing Xuan didn't let their goodwill go to waste. He handed Laozi over to them and pointed a finger at the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler hovering in mid-air.

The next moment, the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler emitted waves of Xuanhuang Qi. The Xuanhuang Qi instantly condensed into solid form, like two ropes, winding toward Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian.

At the same time, Qing Xuan didn't forget to fully activate the Pangu Imprint on the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, using it to suppress the Sanqing to the greatest extent.

As Qing Xuan fully activated the Pangu Imprint on the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian actually felt a trace of fear.

It was as if they had seen their father, now glaring at them with fury. They trembled all over like children who had done wrong.

The Three Treasures Ruyi fell at Yuanshi Tianzun's feet, and Tongtian's Qingping Sword drooped. The two of them couldn't even lift their heads.

As for Laozi, he wasn't faring well either. With the suppression of the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler and the pincer attack from Nuwa and Houtu, he was left with only the ability to defend, with no strength left to counterattack.

Fuxi constantly disrupted Laozi with the sound of his qin, leaving Laozi unable to calm his mind to face the combined assault of Nuwa and Houtu.

In the end, Nuwa trapped him with the Mountain River Society Map and bound him tightly with the Red Embroidered Ball.

With Laozi captured alive by Nuwa and Houtu, and Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian bound by the Xuanhuang Qi, the Sanqing, despite having broken through to Quasi-Saint, were completely defeated.

This result was due not only to the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler's restraint over Pangu's descendants but also to Nuwa's cultivation, which was no weaker than a Quasi-Saint's, and Houtu's Ancestral Witch physical body, which rivaled a Quasi-Saint's.

Looking at the bound Sanqing, Qing Xuan waved his hand and recalled the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler. He sighed and said.

"If This Daoist hadn't promised Pangu to help discipline you when you stray from the right path, This Daoist really couldn't be bothered with you three fools."

"As Pangu's descendants, possessing the merit of opening the heavens, you refuse to walk the path Pangu took and instead cultivate the shortcut of severing the three corpses."

"Do you know how many blessings Pangu left for you? Look at yourselves—how much have you actually comprehended?"

"Before the lectures at Zixiao Palace, you couldn't even break through to Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. And you still dare to call yourselves Pangu Orthodox?"

"During the first lecture at Zixiao Palace, Nuwa had already broken through to Late-stage Great Luo, trampling you Pangu descendants underfoot."

"Don't you think this brings shame to Pangu? Isn't it a disgrace to the name of Pangu's descendants?"

"You think that having broken through to Quasi-Saint makes you the strongest in the Primordial Wilderness. That as long as Hong Jun doesn't act, no one can touch you."

"Today, I'll show you what a true Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal is. What path a Pangu descendant should walk."

After speaking, Qing Xuan looked directly at Nuwa. "Stop suppressing your cultivation. Use the Great Dao Creation Law to break through to the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm."

This was also why Qing Xuan had unfolded his folding fan. He wanted Nuwa to break through to the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal using laws right before the Sanqing's eyes.

Though the fan could conceal heavenly secrets even when closed, it was still somewhat inferior to when it was open. For safety's sake, Qing Xuan had to be cautious.

Hearing Qing Xuan's words, Nuwa didn't hesitate. She immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and manifested the Qing Yun above her head.

The Heaven Earth Man Three Flowers swayed gently atop the Qing Yun. With each sway, they stirred vast law principles, causing them to flow continuously over the three flowers.

Finally, all the law principles poured into the Human Flower. Then, through the Human Flower, they nourished Nuwa's main body, gradually raising her cultivation.

In just a few moments, Nuwa successfully broke through the barrier, elevating her cultivation to the early stage of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm.

The Sanqing watched as Nuwa broke through to the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal without severing the three corpses. For a moment, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Looking at the stunned Sanqing, Qing Xuan spoke directly. "Now Nuwa is at the early Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal stage, and you three are also at the early Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal stage."

"Now, pick one of you three to duel Nuwa. If you can defeat her, This Daoist will let you go. If you can't, don't blame This Daoist for using family law on behalf of Pangu."

As Qing Xuan spoke, Nuwa's Qing Yun had already returned to her body. She slowly stood up and swept her gaze over the Sanqing.

"Who's coming? Don't worry, I'll have my younger brother put away the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler. I won't suppress your cultivation."

Among the Sanqing, the strongest fighter was naturally Tongtian, so the task fell to him.

Without the suppression of the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, Tongtian's cultivation began to surge. The Qingping Sword flew back into his hand.

Tongtian made a bow to Nuwa, said "Forgive my offense," and then clashed with her.

Unfortunately, after just a few exchanges, Tongtian's Qingping Sword was snatched away by Nuwa using the Red Embroidered Ball.

Finally, the Red Embroidered Ball struck Tongtian's chest, sending him flying backward into Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Even Tongtian was no match for Nuwa. This instantly wiped away all the arrogance from the Sanqing's faces.

But there was no trace of remorse in their eyes—only intense jealousy and unwillingness. Their gazes toward Qing Xuan were filled with venom.

Tongtian was relatively better, but even so, there was no gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Qing Xuan.

Seeing this, Qing Xuan sighed and had Nuwa return the Qingping Sword to Tongtian. Then, in a voice devoid of emotion, he said.

"Go. Try not to appear before This Daoist again. When you think you can suppress and kill This Daoist, come to my Fangzhang Island to seek revenge. Otherwise, don't come seeking self-inflicted humiliation again."

"This Daoist has done what he promised Pangu. If you dare cause me trouble again, don't blame This Daoist for disregarding Pangu's face and reducing you to flying ash."

After speaking, he didn't spare the Sanqing another glance. He turned and headed toward Fangzhang Island with Nuwa and the others.
