Chapter 527: Chapter 452: Saint Taiqing Seeks Peace

The matter in Beiju Luzhou came to an end.

In the lands of Dongshen Shenzhou to the east, Saint Taiqing, who had already made his escape, naturally sensed Wang Yang’s division of the Three Realms.

Thinking of this, Saint Taiqing felt nothing but disappointment and anger.

During the original Divine Enthronement War, Saint Taiqing had sided with the Expounding Teachings Sect, and ultimately, the Cutting Teachings Sect was defeated, while both the Human Teachings Sect and the Expounding Teachings Sect reaped great benefits.

Fearing that the resurgence of the Cutting Teachings Sect might arise, they even sent Multi-Treasure Taoist into Buddhism to suppress it.

Moreover, during the Divine Enthronement War, both sects gained enough fate to take a step forward from their original standing.

Yet who would have thought that after so many years of peace, a mere oversight allowed the Leader of the Tongtian Sect to turn the tables, now completely turning them.

The great war among the various sects ended with the victors partitioning the Three Realms, banishing the other sects, the Expounding Teachings Sect, and Buddhism to the desolated Dongshen Shenzhou, making the spread of their teachings impossible thereafter.

As for gathering followers and turning the Demon Race of Dongshen Shenzhou into disciples, they were unable to do so.

The doctrines of the Human Teachings Sect and Expounding Teachings didn’t allow such actions, nor would the newly arrived Wa Huang Palace in Dongshen Shenzhou permit it.

Upon this reflection, Saint Taiqing, who had returned early, felt his heart fill with anxiety.

However, when he thought of Wang Yang, who controlled over a dozen major Daoist ways, Saint Taiqing, to some extent, still harbored a sense of dread.

Because today, his incarnation had nearly perished there.

"World Embryo!"

Saint Taiqing’s eyes slightly narrowed, his pupils deep as he gazed ahead, not knowing what he was looking at.

Yet he had not given up the intention to snatch the World Embryo from Wang Yang.

The allure of that object was too great for him, having ascended for tens of thousands of years; however, in all these years, besides acquiring a few World Fragments, his power had not progressed at all.

To merge with the Dao like Daoist Ancestor Hongjun was harder than ascending to the heavens.

But now, with the appearance of the World Embryo, he saw a slight hope for transcendence.

"Just on my own, in my current state, it’s impossible to defeat Wang Yang, let alone snatch the World Embryo Fragment from him."

Saint Taiqing shook his head, his monologue filled with endless resignation.

"Now, I can only try to contact my true self; if my true self makes a move, Wang Yang would absolutely have no chance to turn the tables."

In his pursuit of transcendence, Saint Taiqing had become reckless; otherwise, he wouldn’t have departed from Beiju Luzhou today without reminding his two disciples.

At this thought, Saint Taiqing’s figure shot up from Dongshen Shenzhou, crossing over the Thirty-Three Heavens to reach Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Beyond there lay Chaos, and beyond Chaos was where their true Saintly selves resided.

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun once said that after their return to the lower realm from the lower realm, it would be extremely tough to return to the Three Realms.

In this world, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun no longer allowed the power of the Saints to emerge.

Exactly for this reason, Saint Taiqing, having reached the edge of Chaos, halted his steps. Although he was Daoist Ancestor Hongjun’s main disciple, he couldn’t guarantee that Daoist Ancestor Hongjun wouldn’t stop him if his true self descended to the lower realm.

If he couldn’t even descend, then his desire to contest the World Embryo would forever remain just a desire.

When Wang Yang achieves saintliness and reaches beyond Chaos, would his true self still be able to control him then?

And what might the Saint Wang Yang, with the World Embryo, evolve into?

Would he be able to suppress his true self right after achieving saintliness?

Having pondered for a long time, Saint Taiqing, who intended to burst through Chaos, had to take a deep breath.

He then turned around and flew back toward Dongshen Shenzhou.

Because he dared not gamble—with his stay in the Three Realms, he could still monitor Wang Yang’s situation and wait for celestial Venerable Yuanshi and others to return and discuss how to target the Cutting Teachings Sect.

If he truly returned to Beyond Chaos, should Daoist Ancestor Hongjun prevent him, then he would lose all opportunities.

But by staying in the Three Realms, he could still find a chance to snatch it away.

If the Divine Enthronement War was the original fairness becoming Saint Taiqing’s bias, then the Great Calamity of the Three Realms was a conspiracy under the guise of targeting the Cutting Teachings Sect.

Now that the Great Calamity of the Three Realms had ended, Saint Taiqing and others didn’t even wish to keep a shred of dignity, preparing to directly target the teachings.

Looking in the direction of Beiju Luzhou, Saint Taiqing thought that celestial Venerable Yuanshi and the others should be coming back.

On the border of Beiju Luzhou, celestial Venerable Yuanshi’s group had indeed arrived here, but here, they chose to stop.

Beyond Quasi-Saints of Expounding Teachings Sect, only Guangchengzi’s Primordial Spirit was saved by celestial Venerable Yuanshi; all other Great Luo and Taiyi Golden Immortals died.

The Buddhism’s Taiyi and Great Luo Golden Immortals didn’t survive either, and like the Expounding Teachings Sect, a few Quasi-Saints were lost as well.

Both groups looked at the ravaged Beiju Luzhou without speaking, leaving only the faint sound of breathing in the air.

For the Saints, this land was where their disciples had died; for the second-generation disciples, this land was even more poignant as it was where their senior fellow disciples had left them—the sight of Beiju Luzhou burdened them with too much pain.

"Cutting Teachings Sect, if my Expounding Teachings Sect does not perish in the Three Realms, I must eradicate it!"

celestial Venerable Yuanshi bellowed, the frustration in his chest instantly rushing to his head, spitting out blood, adding a bright red sheen to the already blood-drenched Beiju Luzhou.

"Must eradicate it!"

As the current head of the Expounding Teachings Sect, Master Yuding too, looked in the direction of Beiju Luzhou, solemnly stated.
