"Houtu, return my supreme treasure!"

"Stealing my fortune and treasure, and incurring karma with a Sage, have you considered the consequences?!?"

Taiqing was instantly furious.

A twelve-grade lotus pedestal was nothing.

Of course, compared to the accompanying spiritual treasure Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, as well as the Taiji Diagram, Taiyi Fly Whisk, and other treasures used to prove the Dao, the World Cleansing White Lotus was indeed insignificant.

What was important was...

His profound divine ability, "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," had actually fallen into someone else's hands. This was his ultimate divine ability, his strongest trump card!

It absolutely could not be touched by others!

"What!? Big Brother's divine ability 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones' actually 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, under the guise of opportunity, had snatched the method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," Yuanshi and Jieyin were immediately unsettled.

If it were in the past, when Ancestor Witch Houtu had not yet developed her complete primordial spirit, this would have been nothing.

A deficient primordial spirit meant not only being unable to wield spiritual treasures but also being unable to cultivate various profound heavenly methods!

But now...

It was different!

If that woman were to learn the method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable!

"Incurring Sage's karma? Heh, Taiqing, Taiqing, do you hear how ridiculous your words are? Have I not incurred enough Sage karma?"

"I'm snatching it today, what can you do about it!"

Chen Xuan played with the jade slip in his hand, looking at the Sage Taiqing whose three corpses were jumping in anger, the playful smile on his lips deepening.

One must know.

This profound method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" was Taiqing Laozi's future signature skill.

If he were to learn it, it would definitely be beneficial and harmless, adding another powerful trump card to his arsenal!

Imagine, if in the future he wielded this profound method, with a single thought, he could split into three, one person equaling three.

One person could control the Dutian God-Demon Array!

One person could activate the Slaughter True Body!

And the other person could give him a back rub and foot massage...

While the main body would leisurely enjoy himself, free and unfettered, or perhaps hide and watch the winds and clouds of the Primordial Desolation rise and fall, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Therefore...

Return it?

That was impossible in this lifetime!

What's more.

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

"You!"

Hearing this, Taiqing was so enraged that his lungs were about to explode, his eyes wide with fury.

Just as he was about to retort, he thought of the Wu clan's stubborn and reckless nature in fighting heaven and earth. Taiqing immediately suppressed his anger and forced himself to calm down.

Then, he said in a gentle tone, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, how about this? I will offer one Innate Spiritual Treasure, no, two Innate Spiritual Treasures in exchange, how about it?"

"Moreover, this profound method is abstruse and obscure, tricky and strange, and extremely difficult to cultivate. In the entire world, besides myself, no one else can achieve it!"

"In short, even if you take it, it's useless. You can't control it, so why not exchange it with me for spiritual treasures? Anyway, you won't suffer any loss!"

His persuasion was earnest and skillful.

His pride and sense of accomplishment were unconcealed in his speech.

In the entire world, besides Taiqing, no one else could cultivate the profound method of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones"?

Hmm... that was indeed true!

Especially the conditions Taiqing proposed were very tempting, making it impossible to refuse.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have agreed without hesitation.

However...

Who was Chen Xuan?

He was a transmigrator from modern times, living two lives!

He had read the "Spring and Autumn Annals"... cough, he had read "Primordial Desolation"!

Therefore, how could he not know the secret hidden behind "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones"?

"Difficult to cultivate? It is indeed a bit difficult to cultivate, but... I'm not exchanging it!"

"Taiqing, don't think I don't know. The prerequisite for cultivating this marvelous method is to absorb a portion of the origin from Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing respectively, and then combine it with a drop of Sanqing's essence blood to achieve success!"

Chen Xuan scanned the Sanqing present, finally focusing on Taiqing, and said with a playful sneer.

His star-like eyes were deep, as if they could see through all things in the world, staring at Taiqing until he felt a chill.

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

As soon as these words were spoken.

Tongtian, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, unconsciously furrowed his brow.

Yuanshi, on the other hand, looked puzzled.

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

But this... the origin of Sanqing?

When did he give it?

How did Taiqing obtain it?

As his thoughts churned.

Whether it was Yuanshi Tianzun.

Or Tongtian.

Big question marks appeared above their heads.

Their curiosity was instantly piqued!

"How... how does this guy know so much? How... how could she know these things!? Something's wrong, very wrong!"

As if sensing something bad, Taiqing's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he angrily rebuked, "Enough, don't say another word, shut your mouth for this seat!!"

"No, I insist on speaking!"

"If I'm not mistaken... years ago, when you three Sanqing first took form, you, Taiqing, took the lead in developing sentience and were honored as the elder brother. As the head of the Sanqing, you must have stolen these three origins of Sanqing while your two younger brothers had not yet awakened their consciousness, right?"

Chen Xuan's words pierced the veil of heaven, revealing a secret buried in Taiqing's heart for countless years.

Rumble—

As soon as these words were spoken.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian were stunned, as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded!

With this explosive gossip, countless onlookers erupted in a frenzy, whispering to each other, pointing at Taiqing, and discussing endlessly.

Some were surprised.

Others were astonished.

Some even showed disdain.

They never expected that Taiqing Sage, who always advocated for tranquility, inaction, and detachment from desires, would be this kind of person behind the scenes?

The dignified Primordial Sage would also engage in such unsavory and shameful acts?

It truly shattered their worldview!

"Enough! Stop trying to sow discord and slander this seat, and drive a wedge between our Sanqing brotherhood! Shut up right now, ahhhhhh!!!"

After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Taiqing's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His eyes darted around, and then, in a fit of rage and embarrassment, he completely lost his composure, becoming frantic.

No, he just couldn't understand...

How could that woman Houtu know these things???

Who told her!?

It's over, it's over, even if he were beaten to death, he couldn't admit it!

At this moment, Taiqing truly wished he could strangle this woman to death!

And smash her mouth while he was at it!

Damn it!

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

Seeing his elder brother's flustered and uncharacteristic behavior, Yuanshi seemed to believe half of it. He then asked weakly, his face full of disbelief.

Stealing the origins of his two fellow brothers?

Could anyone actually do such a thing!?

Surely not!

"Eldest Brother, Daoist Houtu... is what she said true or false?"

Just then.

Before Taiqing could even figure out how to answer Yuanshi's soul-searching question, Tongtian's voice leisurely echoed.

Creak!

The Grand Pure Sage's Dao heart trembled again!

He felt inexplicably flustered, suddenly overwhelmed by immense pressure, making it hard for him to breathe!

Mad, trembling hands, excited heart!

So panicked!

What should I do?!

"Third Brother!? That's great, you've recovered! Quickly, set up the Immortal-Slaying Formation again, and together with your elder brother, we'll suppress and kill all the Ancestor Witches, settling the battle as soon as possible!"

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

But Tongtian ignored him, skillfully focusing on the important point and repeating his question: "Eldest Brother, answer me first, is it true or false?"

Taiqing: "..."

Yuanshi: "..."

"..."

"..."

A sudden, deathly silence!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the arena became incredibly subtle and hard to describe.

Countless onlookers had already pulled up their benches, prepared their melon seeds, and were waiting for the Sanqing to tear each other apart!

Oh my, this drama... it's too exciting!
