Laozi Learns It's Xuandu, the Three Pure Ones Gather!

Outside Golden Ao Island, the sea of clouds churned.

Grand Pure Sage Laozi stood still in the void, his plain Daoist robe unmoving against the fierce wind.

His expression was as calm as an ancient well, as if he had merged with the surrounding heaven and earth.

Yet in the depths of his eyes, which had seen through ancient vicissitudes, a faint ripple passed—rare and barely perceptible.

The anomaly that had just shot up from Golden Ao Island could not escape the notice of a Heavenly Dao Sage like him.

Auspicious clouds stretching millions of miles, ethereal immortal music, earthly golden lotuses surging forth, Chaos phantoms standing guard...

This was no ordinary breakthrough of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

What shook his Dao Heart even more was the faint aura emanating from the core of that anomaly—the Chaos God Demon Dao Rhyme that had only existed before World Creation.

"A Chaos God Demon Pedigree..."

Laozi murmured inwardly, ripples stirring in his calm Dao Heart.

He knew well the pedigrees of the Jie Sect's Myriad Immortals.

Duobao, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, Gui Ling... at best, they were top-tier Innate Pedigrees.

Zhao Gongming and San Xiao were of the same rank.

The Seven Attendant Immortals and the Outer Disciples were even more mixed in quality.

Even if some had special pedigrees, none could possibly touch the Chaos level!

But that anomaly just now could not be faked.

The Origin Qi that had drawn the Great Dao's celebration and the Chaos Escort was unmistakably a true Chaos God Demon Pedigree!

When had the Great Wilderness produced another Chaos Pedigree? And why did it appear on Tongtian's Golden Ao Island?

Moreover...

Laozi's gaze seemed to pierce through layers of void, landing on a desolate cave mansion at the island's edge.

"Xuandu..."

He murmured this name softly.

This child's fate had originally been clear—he was to enter the Human Sect and inherit the Dao of Purity and Non-Action.

But suddenly, variables arose. His heart turned toward the Jie Sect, and he vanished from Shouyang Mountain, only to appear in the East Sea.

Now, just a few days after joining the Jie Sect...

Golden Ao Island had manifested the anomaly of a Chaos God Demon Pedigree!

Was it a coincidence?

Laozi's gaze shifted slightly as he performed a Heavenly Secret Deduction.

The heavenly secrets remained chaotic, and everything related to this child's fate was shrouded by an invisible force.

But his Sage intuition pointed to one answer.

The one who had triggered that Chaos Anomaly was Xuandu!

"A Human Race pedigree—how could it come to this?"

Even Laozi could not suppress the stormy waves rising in his heart.

He knew better than anyone the potential of the Human Race that Nuwa had created to become a Sage through merit.

They were an acquired creation, their foundation inherently shallow.

Even with Taiyi Golden Elixirs or Nine Revolutions Spirit Medicines, they could only be slightly enhanced—there was no way to reverse to Innate, let alone reach Chaos!

This could no longer be explained by mere fortune or opportunity.

It overturned all understanding, defying the very principles of the Great Dao!

This child must carry a shocking secret that even a Sage could not see through!

Just as Laozi's thoughts were racing and he was deducing the heavenly secrets...

The void before him gently rippled.

A green-clad figure appeared silently.

Sword eyebrows, star eyes, a tall and straight posture, and a sharp Sword Intent of Intercepting Heaven Taking Dao naturally flowing around him.

It was Sect Leader Tongtian.

"Elder Brother."

Tongtian cupped his hands in greeting, a hint of well-timed confusion on his face.

"I wonder what wind blew you from the quiet of Shouyang Mountain to my noisy Golden Ao Island?"

His gaze was calm as he looked at Laozi, but he already understood in his heart.

Xuandu had stirred up too much of a commotion—it had inevitably alarmed Laozi.

Laozi withdrew his gaze from the island and looked at Tongtian, his expression still indifferent.

"Above Golden Ao Island, the anomaly just now was astonishing."

His tone was calm, as if stating a simple fact.

"Chaos Qi spread, the Great Dao celebrated, as if a Chaos Pedigree had manifested in the world."

Sect Leader Tongtian heard this, his sword-like brows lifting slightly, a timely hint of surprise appearing on his face before transforming into a smile.

"So Elder Brother has come for this matter."

He flicked his sleeve robe, pointing toward the lingering rosy clouds on the island that had not yet fully dispersed.

"It's merely a disciple under my seat who happened upon an opportunity, condensing three flowers and stirring up some minor Heaven and Earth anomalies."

"I've troubled Elder Brother to inquire personally."

His words were light and casual, dismissing the terrifying Chaos anomaly as mere minor Heaven and Earth phenomena.

Laozi's face, calm as an old well, revealed neither joy nor anger, but his gaze was deep as he looked at Tongtian.

"When did a Chaos God Demon Pedigree become something minor?"

Tongtian laughed heartily, his sword intent flowing naturally around him, dispersing some of the Wu Wei Dao Rhyme brought by Laozi.

"The Great Wilderness is vast, full of wonders."

"A disciple gaining some opportunities is a common matter."

"Elder Brother established the Human Sect, preaching Wu Wei and purity—why are you so curious about my disciple today?"

His tone carried a hint of casualness, but his gaze met Laozi's without flinching.

Two Heavenly Dao Sages stood in confrontation in the void beyond Golden Ao Island.

One had an indifferent aura, like the Heavenly Dao hanging high, treating all things as straw dogs.

The other had sword intent soaring to the heavens, like a drawn blade, seeking to seize a thread of life.

Invisible ripples of the Great Dao clashed in the void.

Below, the East Sea's ten-thousand-mile waves instantly froze, as if bound by an Invisible Force.

Hundreds of millions of water creatures fled in terror into the deep sea, trembling.

On Golden Ao Island, the myriad immortals were stirred once more.

One after another, powerful Spiritual Senses cautiously probed outward, touched the even more terrifying and obscure collision of Saintly Might beyond the island, and recoiled in shock.

Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jinling, Zhao Gongming, the Three Goddesses of Xiao...

One by one, personal disciples and the Seven Attendant Immortals appeared, gazing into the distance beyond the island, their expressions extremely grave.

"It's the Grand Pure Sage! Why has he returned!"

Bi Xiao covered her mouth in a low exclamation, her beautiful eyes full of doubt.

"Master is confronting Uncle-Master Taiqing..."

"Could it still be because of Junior Brother Xuandu?"

Beside her, Qiong Xiao's delicate brows were tightly knit.

Yun Xiao's expression was cold and clear, her gaze piercing through the void, landing on Laozi's seemingly ordinary figure, and she said solemnly:

"Uncle-Master Taiqing's aura is faint, but his Dao Rhyme merges with the Heavenly Dao, held back without release."

"His coming this time is by no means ordinary."

Zhao Gongming stroked his Golden Whip, his thick brows locked tight:

"It must be because of that anomaly just now—Uncle-Master Taiqing surely sensed it..."

Daoist Duobao stood before the crowd, his expression heavy, thoughts racing in his mind.

Who exactly had triggered such an anomaly?

To draw the attention of two Heavenly Dao Sages in succession?

In the void beyond the island.

Laozi neither confirmed nor denied Tongtian's counter-question, his gaze once again turning toward the desolate cave mansion.

"The disciple who triggered the anomaly—was it Xuandu?"

He cut straight to the point, his tone flat but carrying the unique authority of a Heavenly Dao Sage.

Sect Leader Tongtian's gaze shifted slightly, knowing he could not hide it, and stopped beating around the bush.

"Correct, it was Xuandu."

He admitted openly, his sword intent surging threefold.

"This child has a connection with my Jie Sect. Entering my tutelage and gaining the Great Dao's favor is his own fortune."

Hearing this, a faint ripple passed through Laozi's calm eyes.

So it was Xuandu after all.

The one who stirred the Chaos Anomaly and bore the Chaos God Demon Pedigree—it truly was this child!

Could it be that Tongtian had long known Xuandu carried such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity?

So that day, even when This Lonely One personally arrived at Golden Ao Island, this Third Brother did not hesitate to slightly defy his Elder Brother's face, insisting on taking Xuandu as a disciple?

With this thought, Laozi's Dao Heart, calm as an old well, stirred with the faintest ripples.

He lifted his gaze slightly, looking at Tongtian.

Sect Leader Tongtian sensed Laozi's gaze, a faint, barely perceptible curve tugging at the corner of his mouth, but he said nothing.

Some things need no explanation.

Each understood the other's mind without words.

Laozi's expression did not change; his Saint Heart had already deduced ten thousand possibilities in an instant.

Since things had come to this, with Xuandu having entered the Jie Sect, triggered the Chaos Anomaly, his foundation transformed into a Chaos God Demon, and even reached Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak, his fate was now tightly bound to the Jie Sect's Fortune, impossible to sever.

Forcing the matter would bring no benefit, only loss of clarity.

The Wu Wei Dao—let it follow its course.

He gave Tongtian a deep look, his gaze seeming to pierce through the void, once again falling upon Xuandu's location on the island.

The variables surrounding this child were growing ever greater.

In the future, the Great Wilderness might see many waves stirred because of him.

Enough.

Laozi had made his decision in his heart and spoke no more.

The Indifferent and Non-Action Aura around him flowed faintly, and he prepared to turn and leave.

Now that the Karma was clear, there was no need to remain here.

Yet, just as his form was about to move—

"Hmph!"

A cold snort, without warning, rang through the void!

The sound was not loud, but it carried a majesty that overrode all things, instantly suppressing the surging waves of the East Sea and freezing the Cloud Qi for a square area of billions of li!

On Golden Ao Island, the Myriad Immortals all changed color!

Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jinling, and other Personal Disciples jerked their heads up, shock filling their eyes!

Another Saint?

Sect Leader Tongtian's sword-like brows shot up sharply, a fierce Sword Intent bursting from his eyes, stabbing straight into a certain place in the void.

Laozi, about to depart, paused slightly and slowly turned back.

For the first time, a faint trace of helplessness clearly surfaced on his calm, unruffled face.

Then, the void not far from Laozi's side rippled open.

Streams of Jade Purity Immortal Light flowed, coalescing into the phantom of a White Jade Golden Bridge spanning the heavens.

Upon the bridge, a middle-aged Daoist appeared silently.

He wore a Yuqing Dao Robe, his face majestic, stars in his eyes, radiating a vast and solemn Saintly Might.

The moment he appeared, the Heaven and Earth Rules of the surrounding area naturally bowed to him, and the order of all things took him as the supreme!

This was none other than the Yuqing Sage, Primordial Heavenly Venerate!
