The red flowers and white lotus roots are on the green lotus leaves; the Three Religions were originally one family. The Three Pure Ones share the same origin and both studied under Hongjun, so their relationship was naturally extremely close.

Seeing Primordial Lord of Heaven take out a magical treasure, Sect Master Tongtian immediately wanted to decline, stating he couldn't accept it for free and wished to exchange it for a Spiritual Treasure of the same level.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Primordial Lord of Heaven said domineeringly, "It's just a magical treasure, it's nothing! Besides, I'm not bestowing it upon you! As an elder, I find Xuan Qing more pleasing to the eye, so what's wrong with giving him a magical treasure?"

Xuan Qing secretly rejoiced.

Sect Master Tongtian was deeply moved and knew that if he continued to refuse, he would be unreasonable. He immediately said, "Then I will thank my second brother on behalf of Xuan Qing!"

Following this, Sect Master Tongtian pondered for a moment and drafted some rules of conduct for the disciples of the Intercepting Sect, then presented them to Grand Pure One Laozi and Primordial Lord of Heaven for review.

The two of them offered some suggestions.

Sect Master Tongtian readily accepted the good advice and incorporated it into the rules of the Intercepting Sect.

Xuan Qing waited respectfully by the side.

After a long while, Sect Master Tongtian left with Xuan Qing. Although he could make the decision to establish the rules, the execution would be the responsibility of his personal disciples.

As a Saint, he was busy comprehending the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao, and naturally could not personally attend to every detail.

Seeing Sect Master Tongtian leave, Grand Pure One Laozi looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven and chuckled, "You've always been stern with the disciples of Tongtian's sect, yet today you speak contrary to your heart, like a different person?"

"Crows have the filial duty to feed their parents, sheep kneel to nurse, and horses do not deceive their mothers!" Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression remained unchanged. "When have I ever spoken contrary to my heart? I was stern with those disciples of the Intercepting Sect because they joined under a Saint but did not think of giving back, instead drawing karma and trouble for Tongtian!"

"As for Xuan Qing, although he has some worldly ambitions, he has foresight, knows gratitude, and is even willing to entrust his opportunities to Tongtian to suppress the Intercepting Sect's fortune. How can he be compared to those who wear fur and horns?"

Saying this, Primordial Lord of Heaven chuckled, "Speaking of which, Eldest Brother's discernment is even superior! The two Innate Human Race individuals you brought back to Kunlun Mountain, their dispositions and aptitudes are both excellent. Xuandu is detached from external matters, his goodness is like water, and he remains unfazed even if the sky falls. As for Xuan Qing, although he has more distracting thoughts, he is extremely adept at observing people's expressions and controlling their hearts with astonishing insight! I see he has already advanced to the Taiyi Realm, and his future achievements are limitless!"

Saints are in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, observing the will of heaven from above and the myriad beings below. Although Kunlun Mountain is vast, to a Saint, it is as clear as looking at a pattern on their palm.

The daily words and deeds of the disciples of the Ren Sect, Heavenly Origin Sect, and Intercepting Sect were all seen by the Saints. Primordial Lord of Heaven naturally knew the mindset of these disciples.

"So that's what you value!"

Grand Pure One Laozi smiled slightly and explained, "However, I brought Xuan Qing back to Kunlun because his destiny is void, which subtly aligns with Tongtian's 'Intercept' Great Dao!"

Primordial Lord of Heaven was stunned.

He had not truly noticed that Xuan Qing's destiny was a blank slate, as if holding infinite possibilities.

Since Sect Master Tongtian had decided to rectify the sect's style and discipline his disciples with rules, he acted swiftly. First, he had Xuan Qing hold the Jade Void Glazed Lamp and use the "Golden Fire of Karma Washing" to investigate the pasts of many outer disciples of the Intercepting Sect. Then, he had his eldest disciple, Daoist Duobao, make an example of some disciples.

Those with heavy karma who showed remorse were only mildly punished.

As for those who were stubborn and thought they could act with impunity by joining a Saint's sect, Daoist Duobao directly used his divine powers and secret arts to abolish their Supreme Pure immortal techniques and expel them from the Intercepting Sect.

In fact, Sect Master Tongtian was not unaware of which disciples were tainted by karma. He had not directly resorted to thunderous methods because he believed in reforming them through teaching.

After all...

The word "education" not only meant imparting teachings and methods, but also saving and guiding people, teaching them to be good, transforming evil karma into good fruit, and guiding stray cultivators back to the right path before they sank too deep.

While the Intercepting Sect was rectifying its disciples, a great battle also erupted between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan. The Witch Clan held the advantage, and the Demon Clan could only barely resist the continuous onslaught of the Twelve Ancestral Witches with the River-Luo Primordial Great Formation.

The Witch Clan pursued their victory, pushing all the way to the Ninth Heaven. But at this moment, Fuxi and Kunpeng suddenly appeared from the void with a large army of demons.

Demon Emperor Jun revealed a hint of pride. "Dijiang, surrender! How dare you slaughter my demon race's warriors! Today is the end of your Witch Clan!"

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi frantically shook the Chaos Bell, and thunder exploded in the void, accompanied by the sun's true fire sweeping across the heavens, as if tolling the funeral bell for the Witch Clan.

"Activate the Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation!"

Empress Xihe gave the order, and the three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Demon Gods immediately revealed themselves, holding formation flags and continuously drawing upon the power of the stars.

This time, the Demon Clan feigned a great defeat to lure the enemy deep into their territory, intending to annihilate the Witch Clan, who opposed them, with the "Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation."

Di Jun, as the formation's core, held the River Diagram and Luo Shu, with the sun and moon essence wheels on his back. Clad in a golden imperial robe, he appeared supremely divine and sacred against the backdrop of countless stars. A power far exceeding that of a Quasi-Saint surged through the universe.

"This is..."

Even the Saints could not help but look on with surprise.

Because they felt a power from Di Jun that was comparable to that of a Saint.

"The Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation?"

Sect Master Tongtian's eyes gleamed. He was most skilled in the way of the sword and formations. Seeing Di Jun unleash such a grand formation, he was naturally filled with excitement.

He could see the profound mystery of this formation at a glance. With the River Diagram and Luo Shu as the core, and combined with the formation flags, it continuously drew upon the power of the stars in the Primordial Starry Sky. This was akin to how Saints mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, Saints wielded the power of the Heavenly Dao, and every move they made carried immense heavenly might.

Di Jun, on the other hand, was mobilizing the power of the stars, and he was doing so with the aid of the formation. It was difficult to sustain, and any slight misstep could result in a backlash from the power of the Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation.

Upon seeing this, Dijiang was not flustered at all. "Hahaha, you feathered bird! Do you think your Demon Clan has great formations, and my Witch Clan does not?"

He let out a long roar and revealed his Ancestral Witch true form, shouting to the other eleven Ancestral Witches, "Esteemed brothers, let the Demon Clan witness our Witch Clan's great formation!"

"Twelve Dutiian God-Demon Great Formation, activate!"

In an instant, the void exploded. Under the guidance of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, endless malevolent energy converged, manifesting a colossal Pangu Dharma Idol between heaven and earth.

"Pangu!"

"How is this possible?"

Countless beings displayed expressions of shock. The colossal Pangu Dharma Idol blotted out the sun and covered the earth, shaking the cosmos. Judging by its might, it was even superior to the Demon Clan's great formation.

Even the Three Pure Ones found it difficult to remain calm.

They and the Witch Clan both claimed to be the "Orthodox Descendants of Pangu." However, as Saints who were indestructible and coexisted with the Dao, they had always disdained the Witch Clan, a group incapable of cultivating Primordial Spirits... Yet, the methods displayed by the Witch Clan now forced even them to take notice!

This was because they could feel the power of the Pangu Dharma Idol. Although this Dharma Idol was formless and soulless, it already possessed the qualification to threaten a Saint's Dao body!

BOOM!

The great battle was on the verge of erupting.

As if sensing the danger, the Demon Clan struck first. The power of countless stars converged, transforming into a river of stars that directly pressed down upon the Pangu Dharma Idol.

"Dutian Divine Thunder!"

The Pangu Dharma Idol let out a resonant "Zha!" sound. The heavens and earth shook in response, the Great Dao roared, and the Dutian Divine Thunder, known as the Origin of Ten Thousand Thunders, manifested, piercing through heaven and earth, unleashing power that could shatter all.
