Chapter 196 The Three Purities finally split up
Kunlun Mountains.
"Junior brother, you must take good care of your disciples! If you want to recruit disciples, you must carefully select them. How can you not distinguish between the origin and the future, and distinguish between right and wrong? Are you using these as your selection criteria? This is really too absurd!"
Another quarrel broke out in Yuxu Palace, but this time it was particularly serious. It was Yuanshi Tianzun who summoned Tongtian Jiaozhu. Tongtian Jiaozhu didn't understand what was going on, but still rushed over from Biyou Palace.
However, he did not expect that as soon as he stepped into the Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun actually reprimanded him in front of all the disciples of the Chan Sect, which really humiliated Tongtian Sect Master.
Being rebuked in front of all the disciples, Master Tongtian was so angry that his face turned red. He immediately retorted, "Three thousand great ways, all of them can lead to enlightenment; the sky is round and the earth is square, and all spirits can become immortals. This Kunlun Mountain is not your mountain, but the Taoist temple of the Three Pure Ones. Who I accept as a disciple and what I accept as a disciple is none of your business!
The master is preaching in the Purple Cloud Palace, and three thousand mortals have come. Some of them are what you call people with shallow roots, but they are still your junior brothers and sisters. You have lost the true meaning of teaching, so why bother to establish the teachings!"
Yuanshi Tianzun didn't expect that Tongtian Jiaozhu would dare to speak to him like this. He couldn't help but feel even more angry and laughed in anger.
He just said, "The true meaning of education? What you call the true meaning of education is to just randomly collect qi without distinguishing right from wrong? There are all kinds of demons and ghosts, and the three thousand mortals are all innately sacred, otherwise how could they have survived the chaos barrier? It can be seen that Master is foresighted. The way of heaven is orderly. Even if the great way is revealed, it depends on aptitude and opportunity. It is obvious that you don't understand what education is. You only know how to preach but not how to discipline, and you are misleading the students!"
Tongtian Sect Master suddenly became even angrier in his heart, but he has never been good at speaking. Instead, he prefers to speak with the sword in his hand. He immediately activated his magic power, and saw four magic swords flying out from his head. A blood-red formation diagram was ready to fly out in his hand, and it seemed that it would fly out at the next moment. Extremely terrifying pressure gathered here.
The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan School who were originally listening to Yuanshi Tianzun's preaching were filled with fear. They could not stay under the pressure of the Zhuxian Sword Formation for long. They all began to tremble and kept shaking off sweat like a sieve.
But Yuanshi Tianzun didn't care about them at this moment. Seeing that Tongtian Jiaozhu actually wanted to use the Zhuxian Sword Formation, there seemed to be a flame of anger spewing out from his heavenly spirit, and the power was so great that it seemed to burn the heavens and all the worlds.
He immediately stopped holding back and with a wave of his hand, a large chaos-colored banner appeared. It was the innate treasure Pangu Banner, the most powerful weapon in the prehistoric times.
Yuanshi Tianzun waved the treasure banner in his hand, and chaotic sword energy appeared faintly in the surrounding void. In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a long river of chaos that enveloped the Yuxu Palace inside and out. The sharp true meaning was revealed. It seemed calm, but it was actually turbulent waves, ready to devour anyone and torrents at will.
Seeing that the two sect leaders were about to fight, Ran Deng, who had been keeping silent, could no longer stand by and watch. He had to take action and threw out a bright green lamp. A strange green fire was lit in the center of the lamp. It seemed weak, but it ignited a blazing curtain of fire, protecting the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.
This spiritual lamp is not an ordinary object, it is also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and it is his companion spiritual treasure, the coffin lamp.
And he was originally the first coffin in the prehistoric times. The coffin represented death and was naturally good at containing all kinds of pressure. Although the hostility between the two saints made him very uncomfortable, he could still hold on and knew that he had to protect the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect.
"Deputy leader! How should we deal with ourselves next?"
Guangchengzi, the eldest senior brother, immediately stood up and stood beside Randeng. Seeing this, the other Golden Immortals also left their cushions.
The reason why Guangchengzi called Randeng the deputy leader was that when Randeng went to Yuxu Palace that day, he said that he also wanted to try out the twelve major formations set up by Yuanshi Tianzun, and it was obvious that he wanted to worship Yuanshi Tianzun as his master.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun was concerned that Ran Deng and he were listening to the teachings in the Zixiao Palace together, and they had a master-disciple relationship. It would be embarrassing to accept him as his disciple. But he had said that all living beings in the prehistoric world could come and break through the formation, so it was not easy to reject Ran Deng. In desperation, he had to let Ran Deng become the deputy leader of the Chan Sect, and the Twelve Golden Immortals also had a half-master relationship with him.
Naturally, this is what Ran Deng wanted. He thought that Yuanshi Tianzun valued face the most, so he deliberately said that he wanted to worship him as his master. In fact, he did not really want to recognize Yuanshi Tianzun as his master, he just wanted to join the Chan Sect.
Originally he just wanted to be a guardian of the Chan sect, but he unexpectedly became the deputy sect leader, so he naturally accepted it with a smile.
After hearing Guang Chengzi's question, Randeng shook his head slightly and said, "These two leaders are both supreme saints, how can we deal with it? We just need to wait on the side."
Daoxing Tianzun frowned slightly and said, "Are we just going to stand here and watch? Wouldn't that be a loss of face for Master?"
Randeng snorted and said, "You are just Golden Immortals. I am a Primordial Golden Immortal and I can only watch. How can you do the same? The Supreme Master must have known about this a long time ago. Even the Master didn't take care of it, so how can you take care of it? Needless to say, waiting here is the greatest favor you can do for the Master."
After hearing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals gave up.
In fact, it was not impossible for Ran Deng to go and stop them, but he valued his own life, so he naturally did not want to take risks. Moreover, what he said was also true. How could he hide what happened here from Taishang Laojun? Even Taishang Laojun had not spoken, so why should he bother himself?
But I'm afraid that soon, Taishang Laojun will come and stop this fight. After all, his disciples are still here. How can it be disgraceful for the two of them to fight and kill each other like this?
As expected, just when a war was about to break out between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, a pure and inaction aura suddenly penetrated between the two of them, and a black and white treasure map emerged. With a slight shake, a golden bridge suddenly spanned thousands of miles, fixing the earth, water, fire and wind, and immediately eliminating the power created by the two innate treasures.
And these two leaders did not want to fight to the death, so they took this opportunity to put away their magic weapons. An old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe appeared. He was the leader of the Human Religion, Taishang Laojun, the Lord of Daode.
Seeing the two men quarreling again, and this time they even wanted to fight directly on Kunlun Mountain, Taishang Laojun felt a headache and frowned. He liked peace and quiet the most, and had a heart of inaction, and didn't like to care about these trivial matters at all, but these were his two younger brothers, and they were saints. If he didn't care, it would be easy to get into trouble. He could only persuade them constantly, which made him even more annoyed.
"How can you be brothers? How can you be brothers?" Taishang Laojun sighed and tried to persuade him again: "We have been together for tens of thousands of years since we took human form. Why do we have to quarrel over trivial matters?"
Yuanshi Tianzun's brows were filled with murderous intent, and he said in a cold voice: "You hang out with birds and beasts all day long, and are surrounded by people who were born from eggs. What kind of brother is this?"
Master Tongtian was furious and scolded, "You said that I accept those who are born from moisture and eggs as my disciples. Let's not talk about whether they can be regarded as successors. If they are really lowly, then what about you? Isn't Master Huanglong also a so-called person who is born from moisture and eggs? Why do you still accept him as your personal disciple? You have a bad foundation yourself, so why blame others? Do you have any shame?!"
After hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes turned pale and his lips kept moving, but he could not utter any words of rebuttal.
After all, what Master Tongtian said was indeed true. Among the twelve golden immortals of the orthodox teaching, one was Huanglong's follower.
But this Huanglong is not an ordinary divine dragon, it is an innate earth vein that was contaminated with the essence and blood of the Ancestral Dragon. It can also be called the son of the Ancestral Dragon. But no matter what, in terms of appearance, this Huanglong Zhenren is indeed a being that was born from an egg. What Yuanshi Tianzun said just now is nothing but a slap in his own face.
"It's far-fetched! You are so hypocritical! Such words are deceiving me!"
Yuanshi Tianzun could only utter these words coldly in the end.
Tongtian Sect Master sneered and said, "Since you can't tolerate me, I can't tolerate you either. In this case, I will take my disciples to find another place to live, and I won't be hated in your Kunlun Mountain!"
"Third brother!"
Taishang Laojun frowned and shouted, "Why is this happening? It's just a quarrel. Why do you have to make a fuss about splitting up the family? Wouldn't that make outsiders laugh at you?"
Yuanshi Tianzun was also surprised by what Tongtian Jiaozhu said, but he felt more joy than sadness in his heart. After all, he had long been fed up with the monsters and demons that were doing whatever they wanted on Kunlun Mountain. He just couldn't bear to give up his years of hard work for Kunlun Mountain, so he endured it reluctantly.
Now that Master Tongtian is willing to leave, it is exactly what he wants.
Tongtian Sect Master said in a broken voice: "Although we are of the same origin, we have already walked different paths and have different doctrines. If we stay any longer, I am afraid that it will ruin the last bit of brotherhood. Brother, there is no need to say more. I will leave now. Xuanzhou Island will be my place of practice in the future and renamed Jinao Island!"
The last sentence of Master Tongtian was just out of anger. Since Yuanshi Tianzun said that all the disciples he accepted were demons and monsters, then his temple was called Jin'ao Island, which was also full of monsters!
However, once the sage had spoken, the laws of heaven and earth followed, and a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the entire prehistoric world. The ignorant creatures naturally did not understand its meaning, but the great gods with profound cultivation could see a ray of divine secret from this thunder, which was the separation of the Three Purities.
Seeing that Master Tongtian was so determined that he even changed the name of Xuanzhou Island, Taishang Laojun knew that he had made up his mind and did not insist. He just said, "Since Third Brother is so determined, I will not persuade him for too long. In this case, I will also find a Taoist temple to live in, and I will give Kunlun Mountain to Second Brother."
Yuanshi Tianzun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Brother, why do you have to do this? Kunlun is spacious and can accommodate us all. If you leave like this, how can I accept it? It should be me who leaves Kunlun and you who stays."
Taishang Laojun closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "No need to say more, the separation of the Three Pure Ones is a foregone conclusion, who will stay and who will leave has already been determined, but even though we are separated, we cannot bring disgrace to the name of the Three Pure Ones, so second brother, just manage Kunlun Mountain well."
When Tongtian Jiaozhu saw that Yuanshi Tianzun only wanted to keep Taishang Laojun, he left with a sneer and didn't want to say a word to his second brother.
When Master Tongtian returned to the Biyou Palace, he immediately ordered the Water and Fire Boy to ring the jade bell to call back his disciples. The clear and loud bell sound echoed in Kunlun. All the disciples of the Shangqing lineage knew that this was the master's call and they immediately flew back to the Biyou Palace.
When everyone gathered, Master Tongtian shouted, "Everyone, get ready and go to Jin'ao Island with me. From now on, you are not allowed to go to Kunlun Mountain unless it is an urgent matter!"
The disciples did not understand what this meant at first, but later they realized that Master Tongtian was going to split up his family and set up a new sect, and they were overjoyed.
This means that they can refine blood food freely everywhere without having to worry about the faces of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect.
Only Tongtian's eight disciples: Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, the Wudang Holy Mother, Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao noticed that something was wrong.
The separation of the Three Purities happened too suddenly, and they did not expect it at all.
