Chen Xuan Drops a Bombshell: Taiqing's Filth and the Three Pure Ones' Plastic Brotherhood!

"Houtu, return my treasure!"

"You stole my fated treasure and incurred a Sage's Karma. Have you considered the consequences?!!"

Taiqing was instantly enraged.

A twelve-petaled lotus platform was nothing.

Of course, compared to his accompanying treasure, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, as well as the Taiji Diagram, Taiyi Fly Whisk, and other treasures used to attain the Dao, the World Cleansing White Lotus truly amounted to nothing.

What mattered was...

His miraculous divine ability, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, had actually fallen into someone else's hands. One had to know that this was his strongest divine ability, his greatest trump card!

He absolutely could not allow anyone else to lay their hands on it!

"What!? Eldest Brother's divine ability, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, fell into that woman Houtu's hands? This is bad!"

"Hiss—Senior Brother Taiqing, Senior Brother Taiqing, how could you... be so careless?"

Upon learning that Houtu had, through a fortuitous coincidence, seized the technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Yu Qing and Jieyin immediately lost their composure.

If this had happened before Ancestor Witch Houtu had developed a complete primordial spirit, it would have been nothing.

With an incomplete primordial spirit, she could not only not wield spiritual treasures, but she also could not cultivate the many wondrous techniques of heaven and earth!

But now...

Things were different!

If that woman learned the technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, then the consequences would absolutely be unimaginable!

"Incurred a Sage's Karma? Hehe, Taiqing, Taiqing, do you hear how ridiculous you sound? Haven't I already incurred plenty of Sage's Karma?"

"Today, I'm taking it. What can you do about it!"

Chen Xuan toyed with the jade slip in his hand and watched the Grand Pure Sage, who was hopping mad, the mocking smile on his lips growing even more pronounced.

One had to know.

This technique, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, would become Taiqing Laozi's signature ultimate technique in the future.

If he learned it, there would be nothing but benefits and no harm. He would gain another powerful trump card!

Just imagine it: if he mastered this technique one day, with a single thought, he could split into three, one person becoming three.

One would control the Dutian God-Demon Array!

One would activate the Slaughter True Body!

And the other would massage his shoulders and rub his feet...

While his true body could lounge about in carefree comfort, or hide away and watch the storms rise across the Primordial World with a smile. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Therefore...

Return it?

There was no way he would return it in this lifetime!

Besides.

He had seized it with his own ability, so why should he return it?

"You!"

Hearing this, Taiqing was so furious that his lungs nearly burst, his eyes splitting with rage.

He had just been about to lash out, but when he thought of the Witch Clan's reckless, hardheaded nature of battling heaven and earth, Taiqing immediately reined in his anger and forced himself to calm down.

Then he said in a gentle tone, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, how about this? I'll trade you one Innate Spiritual Treasure—no, two Innate Spiritual Treasures—for it. How about that?"

"Furthermore, this wondrous technique is abstruse and obscure, tricky and strange, and extremely difficult to cultivate. In all the world, aside from me, there is no second person who can master it!"

"Simply put, even if you take it, it's useless. You can't handle it. Why not exchange it with me for spiritual treasures? What do you say? You won't lose out anyway!"

His words of persuasion were earnest and patient, full of gentle guidance.

Yet the pride and sense of accomplishment in his manner were completely undisguised.

There was no second person in all the world besides Taiqing who could cultivate One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?

Emmm... that was indeed not wrong!

Especially considering the terms Taiqing offered—they were exceedingly tempting, impossible to refuse.

If it had been anyone else, they likely would have agreed without hesitation.

However...

Who was Chen Xuan?

He had transmigrated from the modern age and lived two lives!

I've read the Spring and Autumn Annals... ahem, I've read Primordial World!

Thus, how could he not know the secrets hidden behind One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?

"Difficult to cultivate? It is indeed somewhat difficult, but... I'm not trading it!"

"Taiqing, don't think I don't know that the prerequisite for cultivating this technique is to collect a portion of the origins of Taiqing, Yu Qing, and Shang Qing, then blend them with a drop of the Three Pure Ones' blood essence. Only then can it be cultivated!"

Chen Xuan swept his gaze over the Three Pure Ones before locking onto Taiqing once more, speaking with a mocking smile.

His starry eyes were unfathomably deep, as though they could see through all things in the world, making Taiqing's scalp tingle under his stare!

A sense of foreboding quietly welled up in his heart...

The moment those words were spoken.

Tongtian, who had been sitting with his eyes shut as he regulated his breathing, unconsciously furrowed his brows.

Meanwhile, Yu Qing looked confused.

No, when Taiqing had cultivated this technique back then, he had indeed asked Tongtian and him for two drops of their life essence blood.

But... the Three Pure Ones' origins?

When had he ever given those away?

And how had Taiqing obtained them?

As thoughts surged through his mind.

Whether it was Yu Qing.

Or Tongtian.

Huge question marks appeared over both their heads.

Their curiosity was instantly piqued!

"How does this wretch... know so much? How could she possibly know this!? Something's wrong, very wrong!"

Seemingly sensing that things were going badly, Taiqing's expression quietly turned grave. Then he hurriedly shouted, "Enough! Stop talking and shut your mouth!!"

"No, I insist on speaking!"

"If I'm not mistaken... back when you Three Pure Ones first took form, you, Taiqing, were the first to develop consciousness. As the eldest brother and the head of the Three Pure Ones, you must have taken advantage of your two younger brothers not yet possessing awareness to secretly steal those three strands of Three Pure Ones origin, right?"

Chen Xuan exposed the secret of heaven in a single sentence, revealing the secret Taiqing had buried in his heart for endless years.

Rumble—

The moment those words were spoken.

Yu Qing and Tongtian were stunned as though struck by lightning, utterly dumbfounded!

With this enormous bombshell dropped, countless spectators erupted into an uproar. They whispered among themselves, pointed at Taiqing, and discussed him without end.

Some were shocked.

Others were astonished.

Still others wore looks of disdain.

Who would have thought that the Grand Pure Sage, who had always advocated tranquility and nonaction, purity of heart and few desires, wanting nothing and seeking nothing, was actually... this kind of person behind the scenes?

A dignified Primordial Sage would also do such shameful, filthy things?

It truly shattered their worldview!

"Enough! Stop sowing discord, stop slandering me, and stop trying to drive a wedge between us Three Pure Ones! Shut up already, ahhh!!!"

After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Taiqing's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His gaze darted about, and then, overcome by shame and rage, he completely broke down and went frantic.

No, he simply could not understand it...

How did that woman Houtu know about these things???

Who had told her!?

It was over, it was over. He absolutely could not admit it, even if beaten to death!

At this very moment, Taiqing truly wanted to strangle that woman to death!

And smash her mouth to pieces while he was at it!

Fuck!

"Eldest Brother, what that woman said... was it all true?"

Seeing his elder brother's furious and flustered loss of composure, Yu Qing seemed to have already believed half of it. He then asked weakly, his face full of disbelief.

Stealing the origins of his two blood-related younger brothers?

Was that... something a person could even do!?

It couldn't be, right!

"Eldest Brother, was what Fellow Daoist Houtu said true or false?"

Just then.

Before Taiqing could think of how to answer Yu Qing's question from the depths of his soul, Tongtian's voice drifted over.

Thump!

The Grand Pure Sage's Dao heart trembled again!

For no reason, panic seized him, and he suddenly felt immense pressure, so heavy that he could barely breathe!

Damn it, an excited heart, trembling hands!

He was panicking!

What should he do?!

"Third Brother!? Wonderful, you've recovered. Quickly, set up the Immortal-Slaying Formation again and join your elder brother in suppressing and killing the ancestral witches, so we can settle this battle as soon as possible!"

Taiqing looked up at Tongtian, trying to change the subject.

But Tongtian ignored him and, catching the important point, continued asking, "Eldest Brother, answer me first. Is it true or not?"

Taiqing: "..."

Yu Qing: "..."

"..."

"..."

Suddenly, there was a deathly silence!

For a moment, the atmosphere became strangely subtle and impossible to describe.

Countless spectators had already set out their stools, cracked open their sunflower seeds, and waited for the Three Pure Ones to tear each other apart!

Oh my, this gossip... was too thrilling!
