Three Pure Ones Turn Against Each Other? Hongjun Stirs Trouble, Chen Xuan Prepares to Drop a Bomb!
The Wu and Demon clans were still locked in automated battles across the Primordial World.
The ancestral witches were also recuperating.
The chaotic battle among the saints had been forced to pause.
All eyes were focused on those three vast immortal figures, each one eagerly anticipating what would happen.
Sure enough, no matter the era, watching drama and joining the excitement never went out of style.
Even the high-level plane of the Primordial World was no exception!
As for the instigator behind all this—Nicholas Chen Xuan—the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.
He was thoroughly amused!
And delighted to see it happen!
Taiqing was an old man who practiced Tai Chi.
Yu Qing was a middle-aged man with terminal tsundere syndrome.
Shang Qing was a hot-tempered young man.
He truly wanted to see...
What kind of sparks these three brothers would create when they finally fell out?
At this moment, countless beings throughout heaven and earth were watching eagerly!
Tongtian had only just finished recuperating and emerged from seclusion when the gossip landed right on his own head. Who could take that?
Previously, Yuanshi had insulted him, and Tongtian had endured it.
But now, he had learned that his elder brother Taiqing, whom he had always respected, had actually stolen his origin when they first took form?
Who the hell could endure that!?
He could not endure it at all!
"Eldest Brother, I hope you can give your younger brother a reasonable explanation and an account!"
Tongtian's expression was stern, his words domineering, and his attitude exceptionally forceful.
"Whoosh—"
As he spoke, a vast and mighty saintly pressure suddenly swept out and pressed down upon Taiqing. It struck terror into the heart and made one shudder for no reason.
Taiqing's Dao heart trembled again. His gaze kept shifting away, and beneath his shock was guilt.
After all.
Yuanshi was easy enough to fool.
But Tongtian was straightforward and hot-tempered. Sometimes, even Taiqing found him a headache!
To be honest, he really could not explain it clearly right now!
If he said that he had picked up the Three Pure Ones' origin, would Tongtian... believe him?
"Third Brother, listen to your elder brother. With a great enemy before us, we Three Pure Ones should stand united against the outside world and share a common hatred. You must not believe slander and let the Three Pure Ones be driven apart!"
"I will explain this to you afterward. Right now... it is not appropriate!"
After pondering for a long while, Taiqing gritted his teeth and spoke as though coaxing a child.
Of course it was not appropriate to say it now. It would hurt their brotherly feelings!
Chen Xuan immediately smiled at the sight.
"Yes, Third Brother. Since Eldest Brother has said so, let us discuss this after everything is over!"
Before Tongtian could respond, Yuanshi beside them chimed in to persuade him.
"No!"
"Today, I must get to the bottom of this!"
"Now! Immediately! At once! Eldest Brother, look into my eyes and answer me!"
"Speak! Answer me!!"
Tongtian truly had a fiery temper. It would have been fine if Yuanshi had not tried to persuade him, but the moment he did, Tongtian's rage soared to the heavens.
He recalled everything from the past.
Over countless ages.
The bond between the Three Pure Ones had been regarded as a fine tale in the Primordial World.
But that was only on the surface.
Only Tongtian knew the truth beneath it.
In reality, cracks had long appeared among the Three Pure Ones.
Especially after the three religions were established.
Laozi founded the Human Religion, advocating purity and inaction while continuing to practice Tai Chi—playing peacemaker.
Yuanshi founded the Chan Sect, advocating following Heaven and responding to mankind. He accepted only those with deep foundations and abundant fortune.
Tongtian founded the Jie Sect, advocating that the Great Dao had fifty paths, Heaven evolved forty-nine, and one escaped. He sought a sliver of life by cutting through Heaven. His standard for accepting disciples made no distinctions, embracing all things, which was why ten thousand immortals came to the Jie Sect.
Among them, the doctrines of the Chan Sect and Jie Sect were completely opposed.
Therefore, after establishing their religions, Yuanshi no longer even bothered to pretend. From time to time, he would make all sorts of snide remarks toward Tongtian and the disciples of the Jie Sect he had founded.
Thus, on the surface, the Three Pure Ones had parted ways and established separate households under the pretext of setting up Dao fields.
In reality, the Three Pure Ones had already split apart!
The so-called bond of the Three Pure Ones and the fine tale of the Primordial World had always been something he struggled to preserve!
It was Tongtian who had traded his full measure of grievance, along with compromise and concession after concession, for it!
Perhaps too much dissatisfaction and grievance had accumulated in his heart.
Now that Tongtian knew the truth, he completely exploded!
"Third Brother... how... how could you speak to your elder brother like that!? I am your—eldest brother!"
Seeing Tongtian's hardline attitude of getting to the bottom of things and refusing to let it go, Grand Pure Sage's Dao body shook violently as though struck by lightning. He feigned anger in a clumsy attempt to conceal the truth.
"Tongtian! You are being presumptuous!"
"How can you be so disrespectful to Eldest Brother?!! You have no sense of rank! Do you not know what it means for an elder brother to be like a father, for an elder brother to be like a father!?"
At this moment, Yuanshi's eyes blazed with fury as he sternly rebuked him. "Even if Eldest Brother really did that, so what? It was merely a portion of origin, hardly worth mentioning. After all, he is our eldest brother! He is also the head of the Three Pure Ones!!"
"Moreover, considering how Eldest Brother has diligently cared for us throughout countless ages, whatever he owed you has long been repaid in full!"
"Hurry up and apologize to Eldest Brother!!"
Yuanshi stepped forward as Taiqing's mouthpiece without hesitation!
Not only did this fail to quell Tongtian's fury, it had the opposite effect and made him explode even more!
"A mere portion of origin? Eldest Brother, Second Brother, do you really think I, Tongtian, am that petty? I only want a reasonable explanation and an account, nothing more! Tell me, what have I done wrong?"
"Besides, taking something without asking is theft!"
Yuanshi openly took sides, and Tongtian directly fired back!
Rumble—
The moment those words came out.
Taiqing felt as though thunder had struck on a clear day. His Dao body trembled again, and his pupils contracted sharply.
A thief?!
I... became a thief!? ⊙∀⊙!
He was the dignified Grand Pure Sage, the leader of the Human Religion, the head of the Three Pure Ones—lofty and incomparably noble. Yet Tongtian had described him in such disgraceful terms?
How was he supposed to save face now!!!
"Tongtian, you are defying your superior! This is simply outrageously rebellious!!"
Yuanshi cursed again.
Tongtian continued to snap back, "Yuanshi, shut your filthy mouth!!!"
"I have put up with you for a damn long time already!!!"
"Bark again, and I will cut you down! Do you believe me?"
Taiqing: "?????"
Yuanshi: "!!!!!"
The Two Qing were instantly dumbfounded!
No, had Tongtian taken gunpowder today?
Over such a trivial matter, he was actually clinging to it without letting go and refusing to spare anyone once he had the upper hand.
This was simply going too far!
Watching the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying rise and fall endlessly around Tongtian, radiating boundless murderous sharpness.
They did not dare speak.
They did not dare make a sound at all!
They could not afford to provoke him. They truly could not!
At this.
Even as Tongtian raged, he also felt incomparably wronged.
All along, his position among the Three Pure Ones had been dispensable. He had always existed like an invisible man.
Whenever they argued or clashed verbally, Taiqing would always practice Tai Chi and play peacemaker, favoring Yuanshi at every turn and taking his side every single time!
It had been like that before.
And it was still like that now!
Damn it!
As thoughts surged through his mind.
Sorrow welled up within him, and half his heart turned cold.
This child was wronged!
For a time.
The atmosphere in the area fell into another deadlock.
Heavy and oppressive!
It made people feel suffocated for no reason!
Only then did Dao Ancestor Hongjun's vast voice suddenly drift from the depths of chaotic void, somewhat easing the tense relationship among the Three Pure Ones—
"Tongtian, rebellious disciple, that is enough. Discuss the matters of you Three Pure Ones after the tribulation. The urgent priority now is to suppress and kill the ancestral witches, quell the chaotic age, and settle the battle!"
"Do not fall for a villain's provocation and blindly believe slander!"
The voice spread through all things like the toll of a great bell, carrying supreme power as it suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
It thundered beside Tongtian's ears!
Hearing this, Chen Xuan glanced from the corner of his eye at the ancestral witches who were still recuperating, his brows furrowing slightly.
Damn it, Hongjun really was a troublemaker!
It looked like he needed to add something stronger...
