Ren was filled with emotion, but the Destruction Sword Venerable continued, "Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable was actually rather unlucky. The Dao he cultivated was restricted by the Astral Formation created by the Demon Race! In contrast, my Sword Dao had no such restrictions! Unfortunately, the Sword Dao was sharp and fierce, and much of it had to be created and comprehended by oneself! Laozi alone cultivated the Yin-Yang Great Dao, which perfectly matched the supreme treasure Taiji Diagram. Moreover, after the Yin-Yang Ancestor died, all his legacy was inherited by Laozi! With all that combined, Laozi's accumulation and foundation far surpassed mine and Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable's! Thus, among the Three Pure Ones, Laozi was the strongest!"
Well, Ren truly had not known that there were so many stories behind the Three Pure Ones! Still, Laozi had been fortunate. He had chosen the right path and obtained so many opportunities! After all, there were far too few supreme treasures that matched one's own Dao! And someone else who also cultivated the Yin-Yang Great Dao had died miserably, benefiting Laozi instead!
As Ren marveled at Laozi's fortune, the Destruction Sword Venerable continued, "Laozi was fortunate, so he was the strongest among the Three Pure Ones! As for me, my Sword Dao was sharp and unrestrained, so I was far above Yuanshi as well! This created the ranking among the Three Pure Ones: Laozi first, Tongtian second, and Yuanshi last! Perhaps this ranking made the proud Yuanshi hate the Demon Race even more, while his relationship with me gradually worsened! In the end, it led to the Three Pure Ones splitting apart. But because Yuanshi was the weakest, Kunlun Mountain was left to him!"
"Th-this... let's not talk about that. Tell me more about the Destruction Sword Dao, or perhaps your opportunity!" Ren said
