I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1371 The Three Pure Ones Cut Themselves Off
Chapter 1351 The Three Pure Ones Cut Themselves Off
"Xiao Sheng discovered something, but it was only because the power of the Karma God and Demon forced him to retreat. He didn't unleash his full power in the battle against the Karma God and Demon. Judging from his final attack, we can tell he has hidden methods. Similarly, the Karma God and Demon also have secrets. What secrets do they have, or rather, what secrets are hidden in this great battle?" When he saw such a shocking turn of events, Taishang Laojun sighed. He and Yuanshi Tianzun had just reconciled with Tongtian Jiaozhu and were going to face this great calamity of heaven and earth together, but now this unexpected event had occurred, which made his heart extremely heavy!

"I don't know. Such a secret can only be understood through personal experience. Moreover, judging from Xiao Sheng's decisive actions, this secret is not simple, forcing him to withdraw. We all know how crazy Xiao Sheng is. For him to make such a decision, it must be no small matter. Perhaps the secret behind it is beyond our imagination!" Tongtian Sect Leader sighed. Although he thought of Pangu Father God, he could not bring it up at this moment. After all, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had returned the bloodline power of Pangu Father God, but they themselves had not done so. They all had reservations. At this moment, even if he wanted to ask Pangu Father God, he would not have the face to do so!

"Perhaps it's related to that mysterious power. We still know too little about the primordial world. We've all been too arrogant, always taking pride in our origins. In reality, we know very little about the primordial world. Let alone Pangu, we don't even understand the original will of the primordial world. And what about our good master, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and other beings? Do we really understand the primordial world?" Yuanshi Tianzun sighed as he spoke, filled with endless hatred for Hongjun Daozu. When the three brothers reunited and were able to forgive each other, they suddenly realized that they had all been tricked by Hongjun Daozu and the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, it wasn't just them; all six sages of the Heavenly Dao were tricked, and this trick was far more terrifying than they had known back then.

Unfortunately, they realized it too late. Even if they understood the scheme, it was useless. Everything had already happened, and they couldn't even settle scores now. After all, this was a great calamity of heaven and earth, the most insane calamity of heaven and earth, possibly even an immeasurable calamity. This calamity was too crazy and too terrifying. They didn't know what changes would occur under such circumstances, because they knew too little about this world!
"Yes, we were all too arrogant and conceited. We thought our choice was the best, but looking at the Twelve Ancestral Witches now, and the split Witch Clan, I think our choice was probably the most foolish. Now, even if we wanted to let go, it's impossible. We have already lost that opportunity!" At this moment, Laozi felt a little worried about his own situation, about Pangu, and about the primordial will of the world that was undergoing transformation, which was Pangu's obsession. This worry was about their own origin and the treasures they held.

Laozi is currently facing the greatest difficulty because he bears the heaviest burden. The more proud he was in the past, the more worried he is now. The existence of the 'Taiji Diagram' and the 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda' was once his pride, but now it is a heavy burden that he cannot escape, as he is now powerless to control his own destiny.

Of course, the same was true for Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu. They were also worried about their own situation and somewhat regretful that they hadn't relinquished the power and treasures that didn't belong to them along with the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Now it was too late for regrets. Looking at the Twelve Ancestral Witches' decision and the situation of the Witch Clan, one could see how decisive they were and how dangerous the situation was. The Twelve Ancestral Witches directly gave up their bloodline power, abandoned everything left to them by Father Pangu, and even sacrificed the Witch Clan world they had almost painstakingly built. The price they paid was insane!
“Now Xiao Sheng has become even more insane, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches are also reacting abnormally. We need to prepare for the worst. If it comes to an unavoidable situation, we will have to abandon the treasures we have. After all, the existence of karma will be a heavy burden on us. We don’t know what kind of impact this great calamity will have!” Although Yuanshi Tianzun was reluctant to part with the treasures he had, he was even more aware that under such circumstances, karma would become an overwhelming burden on them. The existence of karma could very well become a crisis for them when the final battle arrived.

Every cause has its effect. They have reaped the benefits of the Father God Pangu, but they must also face the heavy pressure. Who are Pangu's enemies? They are not only the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian who descended upon the primordial world, but also the Great Dao. Moreover, they are worried that the opportunities nurtured by the primordial world will also fall upon them because of this cause and effect.

The Three Pure Ones now wish to sever all ties, but they cannot. It is not that they lack the resolve, but that they understand that taking action at this time would be too dangerous for them. They are not the Twelve Ancestral Witches; if they are exposed, they will likely be immediately targeted by enemies and become the targets of schemes by those with ulterior motives. After all, they carry the karma and primordial spirit power of the Father God Pangu, which will become their most fatal trigger.

Knowing your enemy and yourself is the key to victory in every battle. In this great calamity, will those who have a grudge against Pangu, those who want to harm Pangu, give up their own karma and the origin of Pangu?
It was precisely because they had considered this that the pressure on the Three Pure Ones was unimaginable. That's why Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu came together again and forgave each other. They all wanted to protect themselves and survive this great calamity, so they had no choice but to stick together for warmth! Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng's sudden withdrawal has brought them a huge shock, making them even more uneasy, but they have no way to solve the problem.

"Perhaps we should be a little tougher on ourselves. I severed a part of my own primordial spirit back then to expel the Primordial Heavenly Demon. Now I can also sever that part of my primordial spirit that doesn't belong to me. Speaking of which, we should thank the Heavenly Dao and our good teacher, Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If it weren't for the method of severing the three corpses, we might not have had any way to escape the crisis!"

As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Taishang Laojun instantly understood his thoughts and said, "Yuanshi, do you intend to use the Three Corpses Method to sever the power within us and to relinquish the treasures we possess?"

“Indeed, the current situation has plunged us into crisis. If we continue to wait, there might be a turning point, but we dare not gamble. After all, this cause and effect could crush us to death if we are not careful. Rather than be crushed by its power, we should be ruthless and cut our own throat! We don’t have much time left!”

"Good, I think this method is very good. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches made such crazy moves, what do we have to hesitate about? It's just cutting off our own karma, what's the big deal? Even if this cut will weaken us, as long as we are free from the pressure of karma, we can avoid the crisis!" Tongtian Jiaozhu was also determined. Before Yuanshi Tianzun mentioned cutting off his own karma, he still had a trace of reluctance in his heart, but now he had no such thoughts.

In this great calamity, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt that if he could not get out of the crisis quickly, not to mention the opportunity, he might not even be able to save his own life. The dramatic changes on the battlefield were the best proof of this!

“Brother, don’t hesitate any longer. Time waits for no one. I know you’re unwilling, and I’m unwilling too, but the current situation forces us to do this. If we drag this out any longer, I fear we will truly meet a tragic end!” Seeing that Laozi was still hesitating, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn’t help but speak up to persuade him. As the three brothers discussed and expressed their doubts, he seemed to gradually understand the crisis behind it all. Just then, Tongtian Jiaozhu had a flash of inspiration and said in a deep voice, “I understand! I finally understand why Xiao Sheng chose to withdraw. I finally understand why everything on the battlefield was so strange—because Xiao Sheng discovered a great secret, the secret of those Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!”

"What secret could make Xiao Sheng make such a crazy decision?" Laozi asked with a solemn expression.

"They are clones. Those Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals are not the real bodies, but clones. We can all think of using the method of severing the three corpses to solve our own karmic problems. How could those Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals not think of this? Why did they dare to be the first to stick their necks out? Are they really not afraid of death, or are they really so stupid that they can't even see through the danger of this great calamity of heaven and earth? That's impossible. The only explanation is that they are clones. That's why those who fell were so crazy!"

Upon hearing these words from the Tongtian Sect Leader, both Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun were shocked. They instantly realized that the Tongtian Sect Leader was right; only this one possibility could explain such an outcome, and only this one could have driven that madman Xiao Sheng to do such a thing. No wonder they always felt that everything on the battlefield was a bit strange, yet they couldn't find the reason. The reason was this.

“That’s right, that’s how things should be. Now everything makes sense. We can’t wait any longer. Let’s take action. If we don’t act now, I’m afraid we’ll really have no chance left. No wonder I always feel a pressure in my heart, but I can’t find the source. It’s all because of this cause and effect. If we wait for the obsession of Father Pangu to complete its transformation, we will have no chance left. The last bit of chance will completely disappear!”

After understanding everything, Laozi no longer hesitated. He made a ruthless decision and cut off his own origin, his primordial spirit, and his three corpses. At the same time, he also cut off the karma on his body. Naturally, the treasures in his hands were no exception, and the Pangu inheritance of cultivation was also cut off!
Upon seeing Laozi's actions, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they severed their own origins, karma, three corpses, and Pangu's legacy. They both understood that time was of the essence, and further delay would be a disaster for them.

"Go, you are free, you are the Three Pure Ones!" Although it was just a simple sentence, it contained endless cause and effect. When these words were spoken, the Three Pure Ones truly let go of everything. The name of the Three Pure Ones no longer belonged to them, but was borne by the three corpses that were severed. Moreover, they would be completely independent beings, with no connection whatsoever.

"Let's go!" With a calm reply, three streaks of light pierced through the void and disappeared. These three people were the Three Pure Ones: Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. Meanwhile, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taishang Laojun, and Yuanshi Tianwang directly freed themselves from karma and severed their karmic ties!
"So that's how it is. It seems we were all wrong. No wonder the Twelve Ancestral Witches went to such extremes, wiping out the Witch Clan. Only by severing their karmic ties could they truly understand themselves. We were all wrong. We're not as good as that madman Xiao Sheng. Now I understand why that guy went straight into the Chaos and then returned to the Primordial World from within it." Laozi sighed deeply. After severing his karmic ties, his own Great Dao emerged. Without the pressure of karma, his Great Dao became clearer. If he had severed his karmic ties earlier, would things be the same now?

"Yes, without severing our own karma, we wouldn't even know the existence of our own path. We were all wrong. We thought that by breaking away from the Heavenly Dao and being free from the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao Saints, we had already found our own path. But now we realize that it was all an illusion. To truly find our own path, we must sever all karma!"

"However, it's not too late for us to understand now. At least we have succeeded. Although our origins have been severed and our combat power has been weakened, as long as we stay calm, everything will be fine. At least we have seen hope now. My two brothers, let's not waste any more precious time. Let's restore our strength now. After all, this great calamity of heaven and earth is all about strength!" Tongtian Sect Leader said with a sigh, his eyes revealing a lot of joy. Only after cutting himself did he realize his foolishness and arrogance.

With the Three Pure Ones severing themselves and the disappearance of cause and effect, it had no impact on the prehistoric world. Even the Great Immortals of Hunyuan were unaware of it. However, the Great God Pangu sensed it. At this moment, a faint joy appeared on the Great God Pangu's face. The Three Pure Ones' self-severance affected not only themselves but also the Great God Pangu, which made the Great God Pangu breathe a sigh of relief!
