Chapter 26: Ye Xiu, The Three Pure Ones Finally Part Ways!
“Impossible… Impossible… Why is Heavenly Lord considered a quasi-saint?”
“The formidable sword energy emanating from him… so terrifying… Isn’t he the unknown formidable sword cultivator from earlier?!!”
As the Heavenly Lord unleashed a horrifying sword force, Yuanshi couldn’t help but take a step back. Only then did Yuanshi realize that the extraordinary sword cultivator they were looking for turned out to be Heavenly Lord!
Even Laozi, who was usually composed, stood in shock after feeling the dread of Heavenly Lord.
At this moment, they were shocked that the Heavenly Lord hadn’t been concealing his power, but rather, their own lower cultivation prevented them from seeing his true level!
…
“Yuanshi, you’ve pushed me to this…”
Heavenly Lord’s expression was cold, and he was surrounded by a deadly sword aura, resembling an evil deity, moving step by step towards Yuanshi. At this moment, they realized with astonishment that the Heavenly Lord wasn’t using any concealment techniques; it was just their limited insight into his level!
…
Yuanshi, carrying most of the deadly sword energy from Heavenly Lord, looked at him in fear, trembling as he said, “Heavenly Lord… Regardless of everything, I am your elder brother… even if you’re a quasi-saint, you can’t harm me!”
While speaking, Yuanshi desperately channeled his divine power, creating a path of golden light that shielded him from harm. But against Heavenly Lord’s supreme swordsmanship, Yuanshi’s defenses were utterly insufficient.
“Heh, now you remember I’m your brother? Where’s your aggression from a moment ago..,” Heavenly Lord said coldly.
…
This time, Laozi came to mediate as he always did. “That’s enough, little brother, for my sake, let’s let this matter go.”
Seeing this, Yuanshi’s eyes gleamed, and he quickly sought Laozi’s help with his gaze.
Conversely, the Heavenly Lord couldn’t help but laugh, a bitter smile on his face, and he said mockingly, “Let it go? Heh, big brother, why do you always favor Yuanshi? Have you ever treated me as your brother!”
This statement was quite assertive, leaving Laozi slightly shocked and rendered speechless. Upon reflection, he had been overly partial to Yuanshi, which had led to him neglecting the Heavenly Lord.
“Big brother, you see now… Heavenly Lord, relying on his quasi-saint strength, dares act arrogantly in front of you!” Yuanshi, seeing the Heavenly Lord’s refusal to heed reason, no longer cared about their Three Purities brotherhood.
Afterward, Laozi’s expression turned dark, and within his robe, there was a faint black and yellow aura circulating as he silently activated the Mysterious and Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, falling into deep contemplation.
The Three Pure Ones, with Laozi as their leader, had once held the most formidable power. With the Heavenly Primordial Linglong Pagoda in their possession, their status among the Three Pure Ones was the highest.
But now, Heavenly Lord’s power far surpassed his own!
He couldn’t even speak with any authority!
As thoughts swirled and gathered within their minds, Laozi’s demeanor gradually turned cold, and he quietly summoned the Mysterious and Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, enveloping the area with a magnificent and formidable aura.
“Heavenly Lord… You must force our brothers to confront each other with military might and bloodshed before you’ll back down!” The voice resounded, and the Heavenly Primordial Linglong Pagoda radiated brilliant golden light above Laozi’s head, exuding a majestic and threatening presence.
Heavenly Lord was equally stubborn and unwilling to show weakness, retorting, “I just want Yuanshi to admit his mistake to me, that’s all!”
“Never!” Heavenly Lord had just spoken, and Yuanshi clenched his teeth and roared, “Brother, I will join you to suppress him and make him understand his place!”
As a dignified member of the Three Pure Ones and a prominent figure in the primordial era, there was no way Yuanshi would bow his head and admit his mistake. Besides, Yuanshi was the proudest of the Three Pure Ones, always caring about his image. How could he bow to the Heavenly Lord, who was a younger generation, and admit his mistake?
“In that case, don’t blame me for disowning you!” Heavenly Lord’s resolve was firm. Since the other party was not considering the brotherhood of the Three Pure Ones, he saw no reason to protect a distorted notion of brotherhood.
With a single rebuke and thought, an endless torrent of sword energy shot into the sky, instantly cutting through the black and yellow aura that Laozi had spread.
“With a clang,” a resounding clash of gold and iron echoed as the Heavenly Primordial Linglong Pagoda was sent flying.
The quasi-saint’s power was unparalleled and terrifying. With the snap of his fingers, a myriad of sword energies tore through the fabric of space, collapsing countless planes.
Sword intents surged, crisscrossing the area, causing the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire to rise, weaving a terrifying truth. At the same time, atop Mount Buzhou, Ye Xiu’s insight allowed him to comprehend everything that happened at the foot of the mountain. After contemplating, he sighed, “The Three Pure Ones… are inevitably going their separate ways.”
