Chapter 144: The Great Divine Power, the Surprise of the Three Pure Ones

Since Yuanshi Tianzun and Qi Yu had set such a good example before them, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun would naturally not fall behind. Soon, the two Xuanmen Tianzuns spoke one after another and began to elaborate on the Hunyuan Fruit that they had comprehended.

However, perhaps because the three of them all descended from Pangu, and together opened up the Xuanmen Immortal Path and created the Heavenly Immortal Fruit, therefore, the Three Pure Ones’ perceptions of the Hunyuan Dao are obviously somewhat similar.

For example, the Dao fruits of the Three Pure Ones were obviously influenced by Pangu’s way of creating the world, and they were all based on the way of immortality as a starting point to explain the way of heaven and the operation of the world.

Of course, the great paths of the Three Pure Ones are still somewhat different after all. According to their own cognition, they each occupied different stages of the world’s evolution corresponding to the Pangu Path, and thus the differences were also reflected in the final Dao Fruits.

Like the original Yuanshi Tianzun, the Yuanshi Dadao is obviously the most orthodox way of creation. It was born with the fruit of the creation of heaven. In it, Qi Yu can clearly feel a tendency to obey the will of heaven and maintain the order of heaven. This has obviously shown some shadows of the future Dadao of Chanjiao.

In contrast, there is the Lord of Dao and Virtue, who carries the dynamic and static yin and yang, and maintains purity and inaction for all eternity, and the Lord of Numinous Treasures, who cuts off the time of heaven and waits for changes, and transforms into spiritual treasures to witness the end.

In this way, the three people are one the ancestor of the creation, one the foundation of the existence, and one the source of the end of the world. The three Xuanmen Tianzuns almost completely evolved the creation, prosperity, decline and even extinction of the ancient world.

In Qi Yu’s eyes, the combination of these three is almost like the way of heaven!

This also made him sigh in his heart that the Three Pure Ones, as the authentic descendants of Pangu, were born to inherit the legacy of the creation of the world. They were indeed blessed and different from others.

Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times and Taiyi clan of today, absolutely no one possesses such an extraordinary foundation!
Qi Yu even felt that if the three of them had not drifted apart due to the dispute over the great way, just relying on this trinity that incarnated the great trend of the Heavenly Dao, no one under the Heavenly Dao would be able to compete with the three of them!

Fortunately, this is just an innate advantage.

In the acquired world, Yuanshi Tianzun’s obedience to Heaven’s will, Daode Tianzun’s tranquility and inaction, and Lingbao Tianzun’s struggle for change are all different understandings derived from their own ways. This makes them more powerful, but also makes them no longer pure and different from the true “Way of Heaven”.

Perhaps, these three brothers will have disagreements in the future, precisely because of the acquired changes today.

This may be considered a kind of balance under the way of heaven.

The Three Purities naturally had no way of knowing about Qi Yu’s emotions and speculations at this moment. They were still close brothers and sisters, so how could they have imagined that they would go their separate ways in the future because of differences in the great principles, and even cause a war between Chan and Jie?
At this moment, Lingbao Tianzun’s Tao fruit has been explained, and only Daode Tianzun is still talking. For a moment, Taiqing Daode’s words echoed in Yuxu Palace, causing lotus to grow in the void and golden springs to gush out from the ground. All kinds of strange visions emerged one after another.

After comprehending the various mysteries, and combining them with the accumulation of what he had previously heard about the Tao of Yuanshi and Lingbao, Qi Yu finally took another half step forward, completed his Tao, and was promoted to the realm of a great supernatural being!

At this point, he has touched the realm of Heavenly Venerate again and can break into it at any time. If he had not intended to polish his own Dao fruit and further sharpen himself like the Queen Mother of the West in order to lay the foundation of Hunyuan Dao, Qi Yu would have now even returned to the realm of Heavenly Venerate and become a quasi-sage!

Feeling his own cultivation level surge again, Qi Yu felt somewhat happy. He immediately bowed to the Three Pure Ones and said.

“Thank you three Taoist friends for your help. The Three Pure Ones’ Dao is profound and I have benefited a lot from it!”

Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones returned the greetings, and the Lord of Dao and Virtue even spoke.

“You don’t have to do this, fellow Daoist. I just saw that you have accumulated enough, so I gave you a push. Your Dao fruit is even more extraordinary, which makes my three brothers and I feel very touched.”

In response to this, Yuanshi Tianzun just nodded slightly and agreed, while Lingbao Tianzun smiled happily in response.

“Brother, what you said is right. I have learned a lot from observing your method. If I practice in seclusion, I am afraid I will be able to make further progress. I really want to thank you very much for this.”

Hearing this, Qi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not respond directly to Lingbao Tianzun’s words. He just smiled and passed the matter over.

After all, although it is true as what the Lord of Dao and Virtue said, the Dao of the Three Pure Ones only gave him a push at this time and was not that important, but since he broke through the realm and perfected his own Dao because of it, this can more or less be regarded as a cause and effect of his enlightenment.

Such cause and effect can be said to be big or small. Qi Yu also repaid with the method of Hunyuan. Even if they have settled the matter with each other, if what Lingbao Tianzun said comes true, I am afraid that some other cause and effect will arise in the dark.

For the so-called “reward” from Lingbao Tianzun, would they owe even a little bit of the cause and effect to Daode Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun, who would not receive that much?
This is definitely not a good deal. If he doesn’t handle it well, Qi Yu might lose money!

There is really no need!
However, from Qi Yu’s point of view, Lingbao Tianzun did gain a lot.

Perhaps, it was because his own Xuanming final Dao fruit was similar to the Lingbao final catastrophe and the way of destroying the world interpreted by Lingbao Tianzun. Both of them were one of the four stages of the end of the world after all the worlds were silent, the way of heaven was destroyed, and the infinite catastrophe came.

Moreover, the insights into Guixu and reincarnation that he had deliberately added just happened to coincide with the idea of ​​Lingbao Tianzun to intercept destiny and seize a glimmer of hope for survival.

Therefore, Lingbao Tianzun’s perception is the best among the Three Pure Ones, and he is almost about to perfect his own Tao fruit and take another half step forward.

No matter what, this is a good thing for Xuanmen, and everyone in Xuanmen, including Qi Yu, is happy to see it happen.

After Qi Yu successfully diverted the conversation of Lingbao Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun tactfully did not say anything more. At this point, the discussion of Taoism was basically over. Then, the communication between Qi Yu and the Three Pure Ones officially entered the next stage.

At this moment, it was still the Lord of Dao and Virtue who spoke first on behalf of the Three Pure Ones. He said.

“Fellow Daoist, you have done a lot of things outside recently. The battle in the East China Sea almost shocked all the tribes in the prehistoric world. The preaching of the human race has made my Xuanmen Qi training method flourish everywhere. Even the celestial immortals have benefited a lot from it!”

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke.

“Brother, you are right. This time, fellow Daoist has really promoted the prestige of our Xuanmen and corrected the views of all the tribes in the prehistoric world. The merits of such education are immeasurable.”

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun, who had always had a dull relationship with his family, spoke in this way, Qi Yu was really surprised at this moment, but he still spoke modestly.

“I would be a bit reckless to fight against the Witch Clan. After all, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are now quite powerful, and the Witch Clan has a deep foundation. With the current decline of the Heavenly Court, the Witch Clan and the demon clan are even more likely to share the great power. It is not a good idea to rashly become their enemy.”

“It’s good that the three Taoist friends don’t blame me for taking the initiative. What’s the point of talking about the merit of enlightenment? I am also the founder of the Xuanmen Sect. This is just my duty.”

Qi Yu’s statement made Yuanshi Tianzun nod slightly. Although he did not really care about being enemies with the Witch Clan, Qi Yu’s words really made Yuqing Tianzun, the most “old-fashioned” of the Three Pure Ones, feel at ease.

At this moment, he actually agreed with Lingbao Tianzun’s original suggestion. Qi Yu was indeed more suitable to lead the immortals than Dong Wanggong, who was humble on the surface but rebellious on the inside. In this way, it might be easier for the three of him and his fellow apprentices to teach the people. Of course, if Dong Wanggong did nothing wrong, Yuanshi Tianzun would still not give in. This was just his slightest thought at the moment.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke again.

“You don’t have to be too modest, my friend. Your contribution to our Xuanmen is indeed not small. I think the immortals should also know this.”

In response to this, Qi Yu did not say anything, but just smiled. However, since the Three Pure Ones had already mentioned the affairs of the human race, Qi Yu also spoke up.

“Speaking of which, this time I returned from the human race, and I was entrusted by someone to ask the three Taoist friends an important question.”

“The current emperor of the human race is Emperor Hong. He has long admired my Xuanmen teachings, so he invited me to be the teacher of the human race and to be in charge of all matters of education.”

“Now, he wants to go to Kunlun to meet the three Taoist friends and hear the wonderful teachings of the Three Pure Ones and the righteous way of the celestial beings. I wonder if the three Taoist friends are willing to give up half of their seats for this person and open up another lineage under the Kunlun Taoist tradition?”

Qi Yu’s words immediately made the three Heavenly Masters a little puzzled.

Di Hong was a rising star among the gods and a direct descendant of the Human Emperor Palace. The Three Pure Ones had heard of him a little bit and knew that he was the current leader of the human race, a very young and powerful Taoist master.

Instead, the Three Pure Ones were naturally aware of the fact that Qi Yu was specially invited to be the saint teacher of the human race. You know, this matter was a very important part of Qi Yu’s “merit of education” as mentioned by Yuanshi Tianzun before.

For such a person, if we ignore certain special features of his identity, there would naturally be no problem for him to join Xuanmen, and he would certainly be promised the status of a guest official or elder.

But since he was born in the Human Emperor Palace and inherited the legacy of the Three Emperors of Shinto, things are a little different.

Although there is an old precedent of the Queen Mother of the West in the Dongji ancestral temple, who is already the leader of the female immortals in the Xuanmen and holds the power of Dongji, holding a high position and power, the Queen Mother of the West was not born into the human emperor’s family, nor did she hold power in the human emperor’s palace. Things are much simpler.

However, this Emperor Hong was the real leader of the human race. He walked the path of the Human Emperor and had considerable power and status in the Human Emperor Palace. This was different.

For no reason, even if it’s the Three Pure Ones, it’s not right for them to swing their hoes directly at the corner of the orthodox God Clan, right?
What’s more, what Qi Yu said was also very interesting.

Give up half a seat?

Open up another branch?
What does it mean?
The so-called letting Xi open the meridians means that the Three Pure Ones must accept Di Hong as the ancestor of the Xuanmen lineage and give him the immortal luck!
Even though such treatment is slightly worse than that of the nine great ancestors, it is still much higher than that of the general Taoist masters, ranking above many Dongji Emperors, and only slightly inferior to the Queen Mother of the West and Zhen Yuanzi.

But with such status, is he, Di Hong, qualified?

You know, Xuanmen is no longer what it used to be. As the immortal way continues to grow and the power of the Dongji Ancestral Court grows, the various positions in the immortal way have long been determined and the structure has been set. How could they lightly move for a Di Hong family and even send him to a high position?

Even if we ignore this, and just talk about whether Di Hong is qualified to be the ancestor of the lineage, the answer is obviously no.

The reason why Queen Mother of the West can be regarded as the founder of Xuanmen is that she has made many contributions to Xuanmen and established the external alchemy school. She is a person who made great achievements at the beginning of the development of the immortal way.

Moreover, as a person with great supernatural powers, the Queen Mother of the West can be compared with the Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerable. With this level of cultivation, she can run rampant anywhere in the prehistoric world, and even the wizards and liches will show her respect.

As for Zhen Yuanzi, he was also a powerful figure who was famous in the ancient times. He opened up the earth immortal lineage and had great magical powers, which were in no way inferior to the Queen Mother of the West.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Zhen Yuanzi can control the ginseng fruit tree, one of the ten great spiritual roots in the ancient times, and the Wuzhuang Temple has remained intact for many years is already very telling. Otherwise, do you really think that those old-school powerful gods are so gentle, respectful and frugal that they would not take action against the divine objects that already have owners?

What a joke!
It is precisely because both of them have made outstanding contributions and have extraordinary cultivation that the Three Pure Ones reward such people with high positions when they join the Xuanmen. This is also a manifestation of the Xuanmen’s knowledge of etiquette, showing that the immortal way also has a sense of propriety and does not lose order, and can be respected equally with the divine way.

If there really were other powerful people like the Queen Mother of the West, Zhen Yuanzi and Yu Qi Yu who had made outstanding contributions to the immortal way and were extraordinary enough to enter the Xuanmen sect, the Three Pure Ones could certainly do as Qi Yu said, give up half of their seats, allow them to start their own lineage, and respect them as the ancestor.

But Emperor Hong is now only a powerful person and has made no contribution at all.

In such a situation, being promoted to the position of elder in Xuanmen would be the highest he could hope to be. If he were in the Dongji ancestral temple, he would probably be just an idle emperor at best. There was basically no chance of him becoming the Emperor Jiuchen.

In this case, how can one easily be granted a high position?

You can’t just say that it was Qi Yu who spoke, right?

If this is true, what will the immortals who have made outstanding contributions to Xuanmen think?
Of course, the Three Purities knew in their hearts that a person like Qi Yu would certainly not do something without a purpose, so the three of them just looked at the latter, waiting for Qi Yu to give them a convincing enough reason.

Qi Yu naturally knew why the Three Pure Ones were silent, so he immediately began to explain.

“Speaking of which, there may be one thing that the three Taoist friends don’t know. That is, the one in the Purple Light Palace has made plans to pass down the throne of the Human Emperor because of his different cultivation.”

“Because I was in the Heavenly Court at that time and had some connections with the human race, I was approached by the Queen of Heaven. She offered me a valuable treasure as a reward and asked me to protect the new emperor.”

“Speaking of which, the three generations of Human Emperors chosen by that lady to maintain the stability of the God Clan are quite interesting. They are not Emperor Jiang, who is currently at the peak of his power among the Human Emperor lineage, nor are they other ancient gods of the Human Emperor lineage. Instead, they are young men.”

Having said that, Qi Yu paused. Seeing that Sanqing had reacted and looked surprised, he smiled and spoke.

“Now, the Wu Sect is powerful and Emperor Jiang is ambitious. I am afraid that the inheritance of the Human Emperor will encounter many twists and turns.”

“Therefore, Emperor Hong specially invited me to be a lobbyist and ask the three Taoist friends–“

“I wonder if the three Taoist friends would mind the emergence of a new lineage of the Human Emperor in the Xuan Sect?”
