Chapter 382: Chapter 273 Taiching Laozi’s Thoughts_2

Shang Qing Tong Tian asked in confusion.

“Why would our eldest brother also leave Kunlun Mountain if there’s no conflict in the paths of our two brothers?”

Similarly, Yuqing Yuanshi also had his doubts.

If both his brothers and Tong Tian were to leave, then the only one left on Kunlun Mountain would be himself.

Facing their perplexities, Taiching Laozi didn’t keep them guessing but spoke directly.

“Right now, there’s no conflict between my path and Yuanshi’s, but who can say for certain it will remain so in the future?”

Yuqing Yuanshi wanted to say ‘it won’t happen,’ but thinking of the issues between himself and Tong Tian, he ultimately fell silent.

At first, he had not anticipated that his path would ever conflict with Tong Tian’s.

Tong Tian also thought of this matter and similarly remained silent.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Taiching Laozi knew they had realized this issue.

He looked at Yuanshi and Tong Tian and continued, “In fact, Tong Tian and I leaving Kunlun Mountain is a good thing.”

Hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian couldn’t help but look at their eldest brother with a puzzled gaze.

Their imminent separation as three brothers, how could it possibly be a good thing?

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian both failed to understand.

Taiching Laozi did not make Yuanshi and Tong Tian wait any longer, but explained directly.

“Since our birth, we three brothers have cultivated on Kunlun Mountain, and this was fitting before our ascendance to sainthood.”

Shang Qing Tong Tian and Yuqing Yuanshi listened to Taiching Laozi’s words thoughtfully.

“Does elder brother mean that after we become saints, it’s not suitable for us to cultivate on Kunlun Mountain simultaneously, and we need to spread out separately?”

“Could it be that Kunlun Mountain cannot bear the presence of three saints at once?”

Yuqing Yuanshi asked with a frown.

Shang Qing Tong Tian, although he was the first to propose leaving Kunlun Mountain, now argued.

“If that’s the case, then why can Western Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint remain together on Mount Sumeru?”

“If Kunlun Mountain cannot sustain three saints, I can leave, but why does our eldest brother also have to leave?”

“That Mount Sumeru is surely not as formidable as our Kunlun Mountain.”

After hearing their words, Taiching Laozi shook his head calmly.

He gazed toward the West with a profound look and said, “Our situation as the three of us is not the same as that of Western Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint.”

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian wanted to argue further, not wishing for Taiching Laozi to leave Kunlun Mountain.

But before either of them could voice their objections, they heard Taiching Laozi say.

“The paths of Western Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint complement and tightly interweave with each other.”

“And they have also founded a sect together, Buddhism.”

At this point, Taiching Laozi paused, as if organizing his thoughts, and then continued.

“However, we three, though The Three Pure Ones are one entity, each of our paths differs; there may be conflicts or assistance, and it cannot be uniformly defined.”

Hearing Taiching Laozi’s words, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

“Moreover, among us three, I have founded Human Sect, Yuanshi has founded Chan Sect, and Tong Tian has founded Jie Sect.”

“Three sects sharing Kunlun Mountain, even if our relationship is close, our disciples might not be so, and the likelihood of conflict arising over a long time is very high.”

Hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian couldn’t help but exchange a look.

As if he was unaware of their exchange, Taiching Laozi continued.

“Do we really want to divide Kunlun Mountain with restrictions? Therefore, it is the right solution for us three to separate and each find a Daoist School to develop our own sects.”

At this point, Taiching Laozi himself couldn’t help but feel a faint sadness.

Since their birth, before becoming saints, The Three Pure Ones had always resided on Kunlun Mountain, yet now, after sainthood, they must part ways.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shang Qing Tong Tian, reflecting on the current events, understood the rationale behind their elder brother’s words.

But neither of them responded to Taiching Laozi, and for a moment, the great hall fell silent once again.

After a long time, Taiching Laozi finally said, “The Three Pure Ones of us, originating from the same source, are inherently unified.”

“Does it mean that by Tong Tian and I leaving Kunlun Mountain, we are no longer one entity?”

“Our separation is due to our sects and paths of cultivation, not because of other matters.”

Taiching Laozi’s voice, although calm, was imbued with profound emotion that Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tong Tian could deeply feel.

A smile appeared on Shangqing Tong Tian’s face as he said, “Elder brother is right, even if we each seek out our own Daoist School, we, The Three Pure Ones, should still be united as one.”

“Yes, we, The Three Pure Ones, were originally united as one.”

Yuanshi agreed.

Inside the great hall, this was the last assembly before the separation of The Three Pure Ones.

…

After returning to his cave abode, Taiching Laozi did not linger. Taking Xuan Dou with him, he left Kunlun Mountain, drifting away.

After sensing his elder brother’s departure, Shangqing Tong Tian, without hesitation, led Daoist Duo Bao along with other direct disciples and a myriad of life forms who had listened to the teachings, and grandly set off.

Indeed, not all the life forms who had listened to the teachings were accepted as disciples by Shangqing Tong Tian.

For a Saint to take disciples, there naturally were requirements.

Although the teachings of the Jie Sect were without discrimination, it did not mean that all life forms who had listened to the Shangqing Lingbao Venerate’s teachings could become the disciples of a Saint.

Even for registered disciples, Shangqing Tong Tian’s selection was extremely strict.

Teaching and discipleship are two different matters; they should not be confused with one another.

Taiching Laozi’s departure was silent and unperceived by anyone apart from Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tong Tian.

As for the departure of Shangqing Tong Tian, he took with him numerous life forms, grand and majestic, visible to all life forms within Primordial, filling their hearts with curiosity.

Whether it was the departure of Taiching Laozi or Shangqing Tong Tian, Yuqing Yuanshi, remained meditatively seated within Kunlun Mountain, making no move to see them off.

In his cave abode, Yuqing Yuanshi, feeling the departure of the two, had a profound and distant look in his eyes, his thoughts unknown.

Shouyang Mountain.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Taiching Laozi and Xuan Dou had a clear destination—straight to Shouyang Mountain.

Standing at the summit of Shouyang Mountain, Xuan Dou was not unfamiliar with this place; it was here he had successfully become a disciple.

With a wave of his hand, Taiching Laozi immediately transformed the irregular summit into a smooth surface, reminiscent of a Daoist School like a Small World created by Taiching Laozi himself.

Simple, yet it carried an incredibly profound sense.

“Xuan Dou.”

Taiching Laozi’s plain voice sounded.

“Master.”

Xuan Dou replied respectfully, yet with an equally plain tone.

“From now on, this place shall be the site of the Human Sect and also where my Daoist School resides.”

Xuan Dou looked at the completely transformed summit of Shouyang Mountain in silence.

Compared to Kunlun Mountain, Xuan Dou had a greater fondness for Shouyang Mountain; it had an aura that made him feel very close.

Taiching Laozi’s choice of Shouyang Mountain as his Daoist School was not solely because it was a convergence point of Spirit Veins.

What was more important was that this place nurtured the Kongtong Seal, making it even more suitable for the Human Sect.

Taiching Laozi, feeling the presence of Shouyang Mountain beneath him, couldn’t help but feel regret.

It was a pity that Emperor Jun had taken the Kongtong Seal; otherwise, the fortune occupied by the Human Sect among the Human Clan would be even more immense.

And Taiching Laozi was naturally aware that the Kongtong Seal was now in the hands of the three ancestors of the Human Clan.

Back in the era of Chaos, the nine life forms of the Human Clan who became Daluo Golden Immortals with the Dharma Manifestation Skill did not conceal their use of the Kongtong Seal.

Taiching Laozi could certainly sense the aura of the Kongtong Seal.

However, even so, Taiching Laozi dared not attempt to snatch the Kongtong Seal, nor did he even entertain the thought.

The reason was simple; he was not confident he could defeat the Demon Emperor.

He knew that even though the three ancestors of the Human Clan were using the Kongtong Seal, it ultimately belonged to Di Jun.

As for the joint management of the artifact by Di Jun and Nuwa, Taiching Laozi did not know this, nor had he ever speculated such.

The Kongtong Seal, after all, was a kind of Supreme Treasure. How could Emperor Jun share it with others?
