Chapter 41 [The Three Pure Ones Divide the Household, The Original Intention of the Primordial Lord]

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 [The Three Pure Ones Divide the Household, The Original Intention of the Primordial Lord]

"Your disciple has indeed been blessed with great fortune!"

Yuanshi Tianzun, as a Saint, with a Dharma Eye as bright as torches, discerned at a glance the anomaly in Xuanqing: "Dragon God Thunder Puddle, even among the Dragon Clan, has strength to rank within the top five. It’s a shame that it failed to see the situation clearly and thus fell at the hands of the Ancestor Dragon! That Xuanqing could actually inherit his authority and fortune!"

With the authority of "Thunder God" and the "Innate Thunder Pool," ordinary thunderbolts can’t harm Xuanqing in the slightest; they might even become the nutrients for his journey towards the origin of myriad thunders.

And Nanji is undoubtedly a disciple Yuanshi Tianzun holds in high regard, with his cultivation already half-stepping into Daluo, set to inherit Yuanshi Tianzun’s legacy and mantle.

Even in the presence of Jin Ling Saint Mother and Yun Xiao, who are likewise touching the threshold of Daluo, would be restrained by the vast Thunder Skill of Nanji Daoist.

But now, he has gifted the Thunder Skill he painstakingly pondered over to Xuanqing for nothing!

"Hahaha!"

Tongtian Sect Master, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh: "It doesn’t matter, that little rascal Xuanqing has also learned from your Yuqing lineage. Nanji’s defeat to him is nothing shameful! Nanji is indeed not bad, but he has only learned the techniques of your Yuqing lineage! Xuanqing, on the other hand, has gone and learned the techniques of all three of us and our junior sister Nuwa!"

He naturally saw that today’s Xuanqing, aside from his own Dao Fruit, had his physical body, Primordial Spirit, and mana already reach the Daluo Golden Immortal level. Even without employing the authority of "Thunder God," Nanji wouldn’t be Xuanqing’s opponent.

And his calling Xuanqing half a Chan Sect follower was just to save some face for Yuanshi Tianzun, subtly enhancing the extraordinary nature of the Yuqing Immortal Technique!

"That’s also true!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, taking the opportunity laid by Tongtian Sect Master to step down gracefully.

But in fact, when Taiching Father and Tongtian Sect Master preached, they never excluded disciples of the Chan Sect. Within the Chan Sect, only Chi Jingzi and Yu Ding learned some of the Sword Dao, far from integrating the techniques of the three Sects.

Moreover, the strongest among the Chan Sect, Nanji Daoist, had been defeated, and Daoist Duobao, the elder brother of the Jie Sect, had not yet made a move, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Having been defeated, Nanji Daoist hastily returned a salute to Xuanqing then promptly left the debate space.

This debate was also a significant blow to him.

After all...

He had always considered Daoist Duobao as his contender in his heart.

But now, without Daoist Duobao even making a move, merely Xuanqing had left him powerless to retaliate, which naturally made him incredibly frustrated!

Xuanqing also directly exited the debate space.

Defeating Nanji Daoist was only to brand the ten types of Divine Thunder he had contemplated with the "Innate Thunder Pool" and not to tarnish the face of the saints of the Chan Sect.

Hence, the opportunity to showcase should still be given to the other fellow disciples.

Following that, Bi Xiao volunteered to fight but was defeated by True Person Yu Ding, whose victory redeemed some face for the Chan Sect disciples.

However, the Chan Sect disciples did not rejoice for long before Yu Ding True Person was defeated by Wudang Saint Mother.

"Xuan Dou, you go and try!"

Seemingly perceiving that Yuanshi Tianzun’s expression was somewhat displeased, Taiching Father immediately spoke up, instructing Xuan Dou to go down and have an exchange with Wudang Saint Mother.

Xuan Dou, as the one and only disciple directly taught by Taiching Father from the Human Sect, usually had a rather weak presence. Yet, with a single move, he defeated Wudang Saint Mother.

His Divine Skills were like a hanging gazelle’s horn, elusive and unpredictable, while his body emitted a seemingly faint yet profound Daoist essence, which could easily neutralize the attacks of Wudang Saint Mother.

"Taiji!"

Xuanqing recognized at a glance the profound level of Xuan Dou’s insight into the Dao of Taiji.

He was unlike Xuanqing, who delved into several Great Dao, but rather, he focused single-mindedly on one Great Dao and had also reached the threshold of Daluo.

"Indeed, Xuan Dou’s temperament is a perfect match for the Great Dao taught by our grandmaster!"

Xuanqing secretly said in his heart.

If it were not for acquiring the authority of "Thunder God" and the "Innate Thunder Pool," having refined dozens of Innate Divine Thunders, he might not have been able to surpass Xuan Dou in a single Dao.

Of course, after claiming victory in this debate, Xuan Dou directly left the space for discussing the Dao, with an extremely placid expression, as if the outcome of the match mattered not to him at all.

Following that, Qiong Xiao and Guang Chengzi took the stage; Qiong Xiao was narrowly defeated, while Guang Chengzi achieved consecutive victories, only to be powerfully defeated by Daoist Duobao using his thunderous methods in the end.

The debate conference came to a conclusion.

Daoist Duobao then approached Xuanqing with a smile: "Junior brother, once the two of us have ascended to Daluo, how about we find time for a friendly spar?"

"Agreed!"

Xuanqing saw no reason not to.

He too wanted to see the abilities of Daoist Duobao, the eldest disciple of the Jie Sect. Long ago, he had learned that his elder brother Daoist Duobao transformed from the "Treasure Dividing Rock" outside the Purple Cloud Palace, and since the time of his transformation, his physical body was comparable to that of Daluo.

He was far beyond ordinary people.

Even now, both being in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm and without using magic treasures, he had no complete confidence to triumph over Daoist Duobao.

After the debates, the three Saints began their teachings, and all disciples from the three sects knew that after this teaching, both the Taiching Saint and Saint Tongtian would leave Kunlun Mountain to establish their own Daoist realms... Therefore, whether they were disciples of the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, or Xuan Dou from the Human Sect, they all listened with utmost seriousness.

They all understood that they might not have the chance to hear the three Saints expound on the Great Dao simultaneously ever again!

Of course, it was said to be a Dao-expounding session, but in reality, the Saints used their supreme Great Divine Powers to evolve their own Dao in a very unique way.

Taiching Laozi transformed a single thought into Yin Yang, and another thought returned to Taiji; with a mere gesture, he constructed a supreme Daluo Heaven encompassing the Yin Yang Great Dao and the Taiji Great Dao.

Yuanshi Tianzun transformed into the Primordial Heavenly King, demonstrating the Dao of opening the heavens and proving Dao, revealing to the disciples of the three sects the creation and perfection of a world in minute detail.

The Tongtian Sect Master was even more straightforward, directly using the "Slaying Immortal Array Map" and supplementing it with his own exquisite methods, allowing many disciples to enter and comprehend the Array Dao and Sword Dao.

In the Primordial chaos, time was not counted; in cultivation, years were unnoticed; in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years passed.

As the essence of the Saints’ Dao dissipated, the many disciples of the Jie Sect also knew that they would soon follow the Tongtian Sect Master to leave the divine Kunlun Mountain!

"Daoist, take care!"

Nanji Daoist took the lead in saying farewell and added, looking at Xuanqing, "Next time, I will seek your guidance on Thunder Skill again!"

"With great pleasure!"

Xuanqing naturally wouldn’t decline.

Then, the Tongtian Sect Master swept his sleeves, collecting the "Shangqing Hall" into them, and summoned a cloud of good omen and instructed all his disciples to ascend upon it.

"Elder brother, take care!"

Both Taiching Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun called out in unison, standing on Qilin Cliff to watch the Tongtian Sect Master depart.

"Elder brother, take care!"

"Second brother, take care!"

The Tongtian Sect Master also nodded slightly in response.

Seeing the Tongtian Sect Master and his Jie Sect disciples disappear, Taiching Laozi spoke out, "I too must take Xuan Dou away from Kunlun Mountain! Second brother, take extra care! Some things cannot be forced!"

For some reason, Taiching Laozi left behind a profound statement before leaving.

"Rest assured, elder brother!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly in agreement: "I am fully aware of this matter! I am the legitimate successor of Pangu, theoretically more in tune with the Heavenly Dao than even the Daoist Ancestor, and I may well substitute my heart for the heart of heaven, my Dao for the Heavenly Dao!"

Their conversation was heard by no one; they tacitly understood each other.

Moments later, Taiching Laozi mounted the green bull, casually called forth a cloud of good omen, and left before Yuanshi Tianzun, with the Grandmaster Xuan Dou leading the bull.

Soon, only Yuanshi Tianzun was left on Qilin Cliff, standing silent for a long time.
