Chapter 65: The Three Pure Ones' Rift

  "Big Brother, don't you think Little Brother should have this Chaotic Bell?" Tianyun Sect Master spoke up at this moment.

  "Third Brother, the disciples under your gate are all scaly and clawed, you don't distinguish between good and evil, recklessly accepting them, has already ruined the reputation of the Three Pure Ones. How can you still want the treasure? Of course, Yuanshi couldn't give the Hunyuan Bell to Tongtian, after all, Tongtian held the exterminating immortal sword, if he were to grasp the Hunyuan Bell, it would be disastrous. Yuanshi hastily spoke out to stop him."

  At this time, the face of Tongtian Sect Master was extremely ugly, originally shameless, I widely opened the mountain gate, followed the example of Daozu, with teachings and no classes, how did it become a sinner, also saying that I ruined the reputation of Sanqing, this person is really too much.

  "Big Brother, you and Eldest Brother each have a Heaven-Opening Treasure that suppresses the Great Sect's aura, yet I, Little Brother, don't have one. Don't you think it should belong to me?" Tongtian also had his own reasoning, yearning for treasures that could suppress aura with extreme intensity.

  "Brother, you already possess the precious Four Swords of the Exterminating Immortals, why do you still covet the Supreme Treasure? This is not in line with the conduct of a virtuous and moral person."

  "Hmph, since you won't let me, I'll just take it myself." Tongtian also saw through Yuanshi's face and didn't want to delay any further. He made a move to take the treasure, and Laozi quickly thought of a plan. Laozi absolutely did not want Tongtian to get the supreme treasure either. He had originally thought that Yuanshi would fight to the death for it, but instead, he found that Yuanshi wasn't even interested in the treasure. Laozi couldn't understand the thoughts of these two at all. Yuanshi was about to intervene and stop Tongtian, but this would make them a laughing stock in front of Nüwa and the others. They hadn't even obtained the treasure yet, and already the three were at odds with each other. For a moment, there was no solution, and it seemed that Tongtian was about to get his hands on the supreme treasure.

  At this point, someone was anxious. Nüwa had thought that the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West would fight over it, and she could take advantage of the situation to gain an advantage for herself. But unexpectedly, the Two Saints of the West did not fight, and now it seemed that Tongtian was about to get everything. Nüwa couldn't bear it anymore, and with a red ball in her hand, she rushed towards the Hun Dun Bell, using it to block Tongtian while also trying to take possession of the treasure for herself.

  Tongtian Jiaozhu saw that Nüwa had made her move, and the Qingping Sword in his hand was also sacrificed. Yuanshi discovered that this was an excellent opportunity, and the three treasures Ruyi were offered up. He shouted loudly, "Nüwa Daoist friend, do not make a move!" Yuanshi's words said he wanted to stop Nüwa, but in fact, the three treasures Ruyi rushed straight towards the Hunyuan Bell.

  Tongtian's anger surged as he saw Zhunti's seven-treasured wondrous tree rise up, directly striking the Three Treasures Ruyi. This sudden move shocked Laozi. Just then, Zhunti made his move to help Tongtian. Laozi suddenly turned to Jieyin and saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Laozi's heart instantly turned icy cold - how could it be that the two Western saints were in cahoots with Tongtian?

  Laozi was about to take action, but found that the Buddhist master was holding a clean bamboo staff and looking at him. He understood that if he took action, he would also be blocked by this Buddhist master. Laozi let out a slight sigh, knowing that his plan might fail this time.

  Nüwa's red silk ball was knocked flying by Qingping Sword, the original three treasures were blocked by Zhunti, and the Hunyuan Bell was about to fall into Tongtian's hands. The original heart was greatly anxious, and couldn't care about many things anymore, so he took out the Pangu flag and released a Hunyuan sword energy to rush towards Tongtian and stop him from taking the treasure.

  This is the moment, Yuan Chen issued a sword energy to Tongtian, and Sanqing's emotions were abandoned. The clear and clean bamboo stick in Jiying's hand was raised, and the six roots of the clear and clean bamboo transformed into a bamboo forest, blocking the original sword energy. Laozi knew he couldn't look down anymore, and his hand also raised the flat hammer to strike the Hunyuan Bell. Jiying had been defending against Laozi all along, and when Laozi's flat hammer struck, Jiying raised the Golden Lotus to block it.

  It's just a matter of time, and several saints have made their move. Tongtian saw that whether it was Laozi or Yuanshi, they all came out to stop him. Especially Yuanshi even used the Pangu flag to hit himself. Tongtian thought that the brotherly love of Wan Zai had disappeared. Tongtian didn't hesitate either, and he took out the Zhuxian Four Swords, surrounding the Hunyuan Bell. In an instant, it was collected in his hands.

  Tongtian obtained the treasure of the law, and his heart was filled with infinite joy. However, thinking about the ruthlessness of Yuanshi and Laozi also made him somewhat melancholic. After all, as a saint, Tongtian had cultivated the way of killing and his mind was extremely resolute. He nodded slightly to express gratitude to the two saints of the Western Paradise, his eyes fixed tightly on Yuanshi and Laozi.

  "Who would have thought that the fraternal bond of a thousand years could not compare to a single treasured artifact? From now on, the sentiment of the Three Purities is no more." Having said this, Tongtian swung his Qingping sword and cut off a sleeve, symbolizing the severing of ties. He then turned around and rushed straight towards the Eastern Sea.

  Zhun Ti escorted the introduction and also turned back to Xumi Mountain. Nüwa didn't get the treasure, but seeing San Qing's decisive crack on her heart, she had a few points of joyful color, got up and returned to the Wa Huang Palace.

  Only Yuanshi and Laozi were left on the scene, looking at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. Laozi let out a long sigh and turned back to Da Chi Tian. Yuanshi felt more and more stifled, not only did he not get the treasure, but also had a falling out with Tongtian. Yuanshi's heart was filled with hatred for Tongtian and Xi Fang Er Sheng, his face dark and terrifying. When he returned to the Jade Void Palace, the disciples of the Xuanmen sect had never seen their master look like this before, they were all shocked and terrified.

  This calamity is temporarily over, and the creatures of the Primordial Wilderness have experienced a great disaster with eight or nine out of ten deaths. The casualties are heavy, the Witch tribe is almost extinct, and the Demon tribe only has some mountain spirits and wild monsters left, and there are hardly a few that can be taken out.

  The human race, although not participating in the Great War, suffered heavy casualties, exceeding 60%. Fortunately, the human race has an extremely strong reproductive capacity and can occupy the entire Honghuang in a short period of time, becoming the only protagonist between heaven and earth, enjoying boundless luck and gaining the favor of heaven.

  Tongtian arrived at the Hunyuan Bell, with a great harvest. As soon as he returned to the East Sea, he opened the gate of goodness and widely accepted disciples. One after another, Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao Niangniang, the Ten Great Heavenly Kings and other disciples came to pay homage. The prestige of the sect was greatly shaken, and the morale of the soldiers was high.

  Jie Yin Zhu Ti had just returned to Xu Mi Mountain when he received a message from Hong Jun, asking them to go to the Zi Xuan Palace for a meeting. This was the first time since Hong Jun's ascension that the Zi Xuan Palace had sent out a message. Jie Yin Zhu Ti did not dare to be slow and rushed to the Zi Xuan Palace. At this time, the other few saints also arrived. The several saints each stood on one side, hardly speaking, seemingly still angry about the dispute over the treasure.

  Before long, the little boy lightly rang the bell, and Hongyuan appeared on top of the tall platform. At this time, Hongyuan's face was expressionless, with Taoist aura flowing around his body, as if he were the primordial heaven and earth, or the true body of the Great Way. The mysterious and subtle place within him was also difficult for the saints to explore.

  "We have seen our teacher." All the saints paid homage to Hongjun.

  "I have summoned you all here today to discuss a matter. The great calamity has passed, the witch and demon have fallen, and now the heavenly court is without a master. We still need your recommendation for a new Heavenly Emperor."

  All the saints are now interested in this matter, and the position of Heavenly Emperor is related to the great fortune of Qi Yun. Who doesn't want to control it in their own hands? This will be a huge help for future preaching.

  Laozi had only one disciple, and it was really impossible to rob him. The original robber said, "The disciple under the gate of the South Pole Immortal, is a true immortal of good fortune, with outstanding cultivation and moral integrity, can bear important responsibilities."

  Nüwa took a look at the original recommendation and thought of one person. "Report to the teacher, the previous demon clan's demon master Kunpeng is still there. Kunpeng was one of the founders of the demon clan from an early age, with high cultivation and deep wisdom, capable of taking on heavy responsibilities."

  Yuanshi listened to Nüwa's recommendation of Kunpeng, his face unchanged "Kunpeng is a demon master, in the great calamity, he already has a great cause and effect on his body, being able to narrowly escape death is his good fortune, how can he still hope for the position of Heavenly Emperor?"

  "The poor Taoist master recommended Maitreya, who has a very high prestige and can tolerate others. His virtues are extremely high, and he can command the vast wilderness." The introducer pushed Maitreya out, but in his heart, he also understood that these saints were not worthy of being under his command. They should still be subordinate to Hongjun's Tongzi; otherwise, Hongjun would not have arranged for the little Tongzi to ring the bell today. In the past, there was no such rule."

  "Teacher, our sect's Zhao Gongming can be the Heavenly Emperor." Tongtian also pushed out his own candidate, and the saints argued endlessly for a while. The Zixiao Palace gradually became a vegetable market, but Hongjun's face still had no expression, silent and unresponsive.

  At this time, Laozi's eyes slightly turned and discovered two young boys standing beside Hongjun, his heart moved.

  "I humbly report to the teacher, this position of Heavenly Emperor is not ordinary, and letting any disciple from a certain sect take it would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction from other sects. I think it's better to let the teacher's disciples take on the role instead, also as a way to repay them for their service to the teacher." As soon as Laozi finished speaking, Hongjun nodded with an expressionless face.

  "Good!" Once the word was spoken, it was considered a decision made. The other saints also stopped arguing.

  Hongjun called the little boy "Huangtian", now he was appointed as the Emperor of Heaven, in charge of Hongyuan, and was given the Kunlun mirror and the Huangtian divine sword to govern the heavenly court. The little boy never thought that such a good thing would happen, so he kowtowed to Hongjun on the ground.

  "Jade Pool, from now on I appoint you as the Queen Mother. In the future, you will marry Emperor Heaven and together rule the Heavenly Court. As a gift, I grant you a golden hairpin and a peach tree to stabilize the aura of the Heavenly Court." The little girl was also overwhelmed with gratitude, kneeling in front of Hong Jun and kowtowing repeatedly.

  Hong Jun waved his hand and two golden lights shot out, entering the heads of the two children. In an instant, Huang Tian and Yao Chi grew into adults. Huang Tian was tall and stately, with a majestic aura, wearing a golden dragon robe, exuding an air of grandeur. However, there was still a hint of childishness in his eyes, making him appear slightly mischievous, which somewhat ruined the dignified atmosphere. Yao Chi also became beautiful and elegant.

  Hongjun again bestowed the four treasures and disappeared in an instant. The various saints still didn't understand, this was just to let themselves bear witness, not to recommend themselves to heaven and earth. Yuanshi and Nüwa coldly snorted and turned to leave, Tongtian also turned around and left, Laozi and Jieyin also did not stay.

  Hao Tian and Yao Chi were suddenly stunned, they themselves had been sealed as the Heavenly Emperor, but under their command, there wasn't even a single person to order around, how could they not be anxious?

  Not to mention how much effort and planning it took for the Jade Pool to reach this point, but now that they've returned to Mount Sumeru, there's a major event waiting for them. The mount of the Guide, the Black Turtle, should have fallen in the Great Calamity, but thanks to the Guide's protection, it managed to escape disaster, and now the time has come for it to transform into human form.

  The residual body of the Xuanwu's Chaotic Demon God, in terms of hardness, can even be compared to that of a treasure. It is precisely this powerful physique that makes the Xuanwu's transformation tribulation extremely formidable. Jieyin certainly has the ability to help him, but this tribulation is also a rare opportunity for self-cultivation. Jieyin lets Xuanwu cross the tribulation by himself and only lends a hand when danger arises.

  Xuan Gui's transformation can reach the realm of Da Luo, and his magical powers will even surpass those of a quasi-saint. Therefore, the heavenly tribulation is extremely powerful, starting with thunder tribulation, followed by demon tribulation, and finally heart tribulation.

  The thunder tribulation was nothing to be feared, and the lightning that could destroy the turtle's shell defense had not yet arrived. The enormous turtle quietly lay in mid-air, allowing the lightning to strike it without leaving any scars on its body. It looked as if it were about to fall asleep. As soon as the thunder tribulation passed, the demon tribulation arrived, and this time the turtle could no longer be so relaxed.

  Outside the domain, the heavenly demon displayed countless illusions to confuse the mysterious turtle. Fortunately, the mysterious turtle was deeply influenced by the Buddhist teachings beside him, and the great law of Buddhism had the strongest restraining effect on the demonic path. No matter how powerful the heavenly demon was, as long as the mysterious turtle guarded his heart and remained unmoved, he could avoid it.

  The demon tribulation has passed, and the heart tribulation has arrived. Originally, Xuanwu didn't have any karma on his body, but as a Chaotic Demon God, he was beheaded by Pangu, leaving behind an unbalanced energy. Xuanwu's suffering grew more intense, his massive body trembling uncontrollably. Jiying knew that Xuanwu had reached the most critical moment, and in her hand appeared another treasure - a turtle shell-shaped instrument, one of the pre-heavenly musical treasures, the Turtle Lyre, an extreme-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, on par with the Fuxi Zither.

  Its effect is very simple, it can calm the mind and quiet the air, avoid external demons' interference, and also suppress evil thoughts. It's a treasure to assist in cultivation. When the tortoise shell was placed in his hand, he lightly tapped it, and the pleasant sound was transmitted out. The turtle gradually calmed down its restless heart, and the introducer tapped a few more times, and the turtle finally quieted down.
