Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 292 Conflict between Chan and Jie, Separation of the Three Pure Ones

Time flies, and the first Yuanhui has passed in the blink of an eye. The influence of the Hunyuan War is gradually fading away. Many people don't know if they have really forgotten or if it is selective forgetting.

The ancient continent has recently become lively again. The struggle for humanity has made many forces restless. After all, such a large piece of cake is really tempting.

The primordial continent began to stir, but the Kunlun Mountains were even more turbulent.

On Mount Kunlun, the Three Pure Ones have been in seclusion since their return from chaos, cultivating and recuperating. They have not appeared for more than a eon.

This behavior left the disciples of the three religions unsupervised, or rather, uncontrollable and unable to be controlled, especially the disciples of the Chan and Jie religions.

The conflicts and contradictions between the disciples of the two religions are the most frequent.

At first, things were fine; they were just minor conflicts, personal disputes, so Nanji, Guangchengzi, Duobao, and Jinling didn't take them to heart.

We simply let them handle it themselves, while they focused on their spiritual practice. This behavior cannot be judged as either right or wrong.

As a cultivator, this approach is not wrong, but as a leader of a major sect, it is a grave mistake, because major conflicts often arise from minor contradictions.

The conflict between the two sects was triggered by the Seven Immortals who served the Jie Sect and Julusun, Puxian, Cihang, and Wenshu, among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

It all started when Wuyunxian of the Jie Sect discovered a spiritual root in Kunlun Mountain. He took it for himself, ate the spiritual fruit, and uprooted the spiritual root, intending to have Tongtian refine a spiritual treasure for him.

What was unexpected was that this spiritual root was originally discovered by Ju Liusun of the Chan Sect, but he did not harvest it because it was not yet mature, which allowed Wu Yunxian to take advantage of the situation.

Originally, the two only needed to negotiate a solution at this point, but Ju Liusun got angry and started a fight.

The result was that he brought shame upon himself!

Although Wu Yunxian was not a direct disciple, his strength was terrifying, in no way inferior to the four direct disciples of the Jie Sect.

He is the incarnation of the Golden-Bearded Turtle, with long whiskers and a black face. He wears black robes and wields a spirit sword personally forged by Tongtian. He cultivates the Yin-Yang Taiji Dao.

He directly injured Ju Liusun!

Later, the matter reached Nanji and Duobao, but they both treated it as a minor issue and told them to resolve it privately. After all, it was just one acquired spiritual root, and neither of them wanted it.

But to their surprise, the matter spiraled out of control.

Ju Liusun and Wuyunxian couldn't reach an agreement at all. Ju Liusun didn't want to negotiate; he just wanted to vent his anger.

So they invited several senior and junior brothers to beat up Wuyun Xian.

However, although Wu Yunxian was usually taciturn, he had several friends, and the Seven Immortals and other outer disciples joined him.

Because they had long disliked the disciples of the Chan Sect.

A major battle broke out in the Kunlun Mountains, with several rounds of fighting taking place.

From the initial conflict to the later doctrinal dispute between the two religions.

The doctrines of the Chan and Jie sects are fundamentally different. Even Tongtian Yuanshi dared not say that the other's path was problematic. However, the disciples of the two sects attacked each other without restraint and tried to elevate themselves.

It wasn't until a disciple of the Chan Sect uttered the phrase "wearing fur and armor, born from moisture and hatching from eggs" that a massive conflict could no longer be stopped.

When Nanji and Duobao learned of this, they were powerless to stop the conflict between the disciples of the two sects. Although the two of them were in charge of the sect on behalf of their master, how could their prestige compare to that of Yuanshi and Tongtian?

Besides, they are all fellow disciples, so how can they be punished so easily?

Therefore, at that time, the matter could only be forcibly stopped, the conflict suppressed, and Tongtian and Yuanshi waiting to emerge from the pass.

However, things rarely go as planned. Yuanshi and Tongtian never came out of seclusion, and the disciples of both sects lived on Kunlun Mountain, so they were constantly running into each other.

Therefore, many conflicts arose between the disciples of the two sects, which escalated from minor to major, until Nanji and Duobao used their sect's most precious treasures to bring an end to the conflict.

However, conflicts between the personalities of the disciples of the two religions and between their doctrines were already inevitable.

A period of over 100,000 years is enough for something to take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree.

When the Three Pure Ones emerged from seclusion, they all fell silent in the face of this situation. Although they were Primordial Saints who could create heaven and earth with a single thought, they could not forcibly change their disciples' minds.

But this matter cannot be ignored.

After a long silence, Tongtian spoke up: "Eldest brother, second brother, since things have come to this, I might as well lead the disciples of the Jie Sect away from Kunlun and rebuild our dojo."

After Tongtian finished speaking, Taishang and Yuanshi fell silent. This was the best solution at present, but it was also the thing they least wanted to see.

The Three Pure Ones have never been separated since their birth, but now that they have attained sainthood, they have separated instead. What do you expect outsiders to think?

Moreover, putting aside outsiders, the bond between the three brothers wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Yuanshi suddenly stood up and said, "Third brother, you punish Wuyun, and I'll deal with those people and teach them what it means to respect elders and sages."

Even Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't explain the doctrines of the Jie Sect, yet a group of juniors below the Great Luo level dared to criticize them, truly showing their ignorance and arrogance.

Tongtian stood up helplessly, stopping Yuanshi, and said, "Second brother, this is no longer a matter of conflict, but a matter of ideology."

"If it were merely a conflict issue, I would have already suppressed them under Qilin Cliff to reflect on their actions."

"Does Third Brother disregard our brotherhood and just leave like this?" Yuanshi said angrily.

Tongtian never expected that his usually calm and collected second brother would lose his temper, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He then said, "Second brother, I am merely rebuilding the temple, not severing our brotherhood. Though the primordial world is vast, I can reach Kunlun with a single thought. How can there be any talk of estrangement?"

"Moreover, as Primordial Saints, we also need to educate all living beings. Perhaps my departure was the will of Heaven."

Before Yuanshi could say anything more, Taishang stood up and said, "Third brother is right. Kunlun may be great, but it cannot withstand three sages."

"Every word and deed of a sage is the Dao. How can Kunlun simultaneously contain the Dao of three sages? In the long run, the disciples of the three religions will also be unable to bear it, after all, their cultivation is still low."

Yuanshi looked at Taishang in astonishment and asked incredulously, "Does my elder brother also intend to leave me?"

"It's not that I'm leaving you, but that I'm leaving Kunlun. The Three Pure Ones will always be the Three Pure Ones!" Taishang said in a deep voice.

Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian and Taishang in astonishment, and finally let out a long sigh.

He could easily understand that the three saints resided on one mountain. As their cultivation increased, every place on Kunlun Mountain had its own path, which was originally a good thing.

However, this is not a good thing for the disciples of the three religions, because their cultivation level is too low. The Dao of one sage is enough for them to study for their entire lives, let alone the Dao of three sages.

After sighing, Yuanshi said, "Since we must part, it should be my third brother and I who leave. As the head of the Three Pure Ones, eldest brother should reside in Kunlun and overlook the primordial world."

Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Taishang smiled and said, "The title 'Head of the Three Pure Ones' is used to address outsiders. To us family members, I am merely your elder brother."

"I only have one disciple, Xuandu, and even fewer followers. What use is such a large Kunlun Mountain to me? You can keep it."

Seeing that Taishang had made up his mind, Yuanshi turned to Tongtian and said, "Since that's the case, as the elder brother, I will leave Kunlun Mountain to my third brother."

Tongtian smiled and said, "Second brother, there's no need for that. Since I was the one who suggested leaving first, let's grant my wish. There's no need to discuss this further; it's settled then."

And that's how it was settled.

When the Three Pure Ones walked out of the main hall, Nanji and Duobao knelt outside the door.

"This disciple has failed in his duty of discipline; I beg Master's punishment!"

"This disciple has failed in his duty of discipline; I beg Master's punishment!"

Tongtian didn't say anything, but waved for Duobao to get up, then said, "Inform your disciples that they will leave Kunlun Mountain with me in three days!"

Upon hearing this, Duobao, without waiting for Tongtian to say anything, hurriedly said, "Master, both sects' disciples are at fault in this matter. How can we leave Kunlun Mountain? This is your home!"

Since following Tongtian to Kunlun Mountain, Duobao has always regarded this place as his home. Now, hearing Tongtian's words, his heart is filled with grievance and reluctance.

When Antarctica heard Tongtian's words, he felt as if the sky had fallen. He knew this matter was serious, but he never expected it to have reached this point.

Tongtian smiled and said, "Kunlun is still our home. It's just that the Jie Sect has rebuilt its mountain gate. We can't have all the disciples of the three sects together. How can we educate the world and guard the prehistoric world if we do that?"

"Stop acting like a fool! Leave quickly and inform your disciples to gather at Qilin Cliff on Kunlun Mountain in three days!"

Time passed quickly, and the news that the disciples of the Jie Sect were leaving Kunlun spread. This was decided by the sect leader, so no one dared to say anything. However, the disciples of the Jie Sect's hatred for the disciples of the Chan Sect had reached its limit.

It's no longer a matter of who's right or wrong in this situation, and they no longer care about that; instead, it's just a matter of pure dislike.

Three days later, all the disciples of the three religions gathered at Qilin Cliff.

The three Pure Ones stood together, and Yuanshi said to the two, "Eldest brother, third brother, have you gone anywhere after leaving Kunlun? If not, why are you in such a hurry?"

Taishang laughed and said, "Since you have chosen to leave, why linger? As sages of the Heavenly Dao, we are naturally under Heaven's protection, and a new Daoist temple will surely be born in the unseen realm."

"Haha, elder brother is right. After leaving Kunlun, I headed east, hoping to visit the East Sea," Tongtian said with a laugh.

After the three finished speaking, Taishang flew up and, with a wave of his hand, brought the disciples of the Human Sect into his inner world. Then, he left Kunlun with Xuandu.

"Congratulations, brother!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our eldest master!"

With the departure of the Supreme Lord, the Taiqing Palace, which originally stood atop Mount Kunlun, disappeared.

There weren't many disciples of the Human Sect, but with the departure of the Supreme Elder, Kunlun Mountain suddenly became much emptier.

Seeing Taishang leave, Tongtian said, "Second brother, take care. Once I find my Daoist temple, I must come to visit."

"I'd rather be a guest than a host," Yuan Shi said, making a rare joke.

Tongtian laughed heartily, said nothing, and then got up and led the disciples of the Jie Sect away from Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi bowed and said nothing.

The disciples of the Chan Sect said in unison, "Respectfully seeing off our Martial Uncle!"

A gentle breeze blew across Qilin Cliff. Yuanshi stood atop the mountain for a long time without speaking. The disciples of the Chan Sect also stood there with Yuanshi, but none of them dared to utter a word.

Yuanshi stood there for a while, looked up at the Yuqing Palace on the mountaintop, and after a moment of silence, waved his hand and placed the palace in the middle of the mountain. The name of the palace was changed to "Yuxu Palace".

"Nanji, you have made a mistake in disciplining your disciples this time. You are hereby punished to meditate in front of the wall for three thousand years and hand over the Pangu Banner to Guang Chengzi. During your time in seclusion, Guang Chengzi will be in charge of your disciples."

Antarctic respectfully took out the Pangu Banner and said, "This disciple knows his mistake and is willing to accept punishment!"

Yuanshi turned to look at Julusun and the others, and said in a deep voice, "I can understand you fighting for what you want, and I am pleased that you stood up for your fellow disciples."

"But how dare you attack the teachings of the Jie Sect? Even I cannot say anything about the teachings of the Jie Sect. You are not even Great Luo Immortals, yet you dare to speak of the teachings of the Sages. You are truly ignorant of your own limitations."

As Yuanshi finished speaking, his aura surged forth, instantly suppressing the group to the ground.

"Master, your disciples' three corpses are not yet cleansed, and your minds are clouded and you are confused. Please forgive us." When the disciples saw that Yuanshi was angry, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to say, and their voices trembled.

Seeing this, Yuanshi could not say anything, and could only say, "So be it, so be it. Since things have come to this, you should all go down the mountain."

"Now that you are all at the Taiyi realm, you have enough strength to go down the mountain to train. When the struggle for humanity intensifies, I will allow you to return to the mountain."

After Yuanshi finished speaking, he took out twelve talismans and gave them to the Twelve Golden Immortals.

"This is the Jade Void Talisman, containing my aura and sealing a wisp of Primordial Chaos Power. It can unleash a Quasi-Saint-level attack, serving as your means of survival."

Seeing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals could say nothing, and could only kneel and bid farewell to Yuanshi before leaving Kunlun Mountain.

After leaving Kunlun, Taishang flew along his true nature. Before long, a divine mountain appeared before him, with crisscrossing mountain ranges located in the southeastern and western regions.

"This is it! I have a special connection with this place!"

Xuandu asked, puzzled, "Master, although this mountain is wondrous, it pales in comparison to Kunlun. Can it truly serve as the Daoist temple of a Primordial Saint?"

In fact, Xuandu didn't care about these things; he just felt that the temple was too poor and disgraced his master's reputation.

Tai Shang laughed and said, "This mountain is called Xuan Yang. It was the Daoist temple of the Yin Yang Daoist Master in the ancient times. After the Yin Yang Ancestor perished, this mountain fell into obscurity."

"So the mountain isn't important; what matters is who's here."

As soon as the Supreme Being finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Xuan Yang Mountain instantly changed. A mountain rose from the ground in the middle, and innate spiritual energy filled the entire mountain range.

The innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, stands horizontally, covering the mountain range, with the Yin-Yang Dao running through it.

At this moment, yin and yang energies also surged into the sky from within the mountains, interacting and reflecting each other until they subsided and returned to calm after a long time.

With a wave of his hand, the Supreme Lord placed the Taiqing Palace atop the mountain.

"Hachigami Palace!"

The Eight Views Palace on Xuanyang Mountain overlooks the vast southeastern and western regions.

From then on, this place became the Supreme Taoist Temple and the gate of the Human Teachings.
