Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Chapter 91 Li Qing's Reprimand, a Model of the Xuanmen

When Li Qing arrived, the Tongtian Sect Leader had just unleashed a sword strike, shattering the heavens.

A terrifying sword aura soared into the sky, carrying the might of a sage as it plunged into the depths of chaos.

Just when everyone thought that this sword was about to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, an even more vast and boundless power descended from the depths of the sky.

That power is formless and intangible, yet omnipresent. It seems to be the universe itself, the source of all things, the beginning and the end of everything.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had attained the Dao, opened his eyes. His eyes held neither joy nor sorrow, only a deep and unfathomable indifference. He raised his hand, then paused slightly.

"Tongtian, do you know what you're doing? You're defying the heavens!"

A cold voice resounded from the depths of the Heavenly Dao. The voice was three parts similar to that of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but even colder and more ruthless.

"I know!"

The Master of the Heavens laughed loudly, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation spun endlessly, four sword lights soaring into the sky: "I am doing what my Intercepting Sect should do!"

Amidst the dark clouds, the figure of Hongjun Daozu emerged.

Just like when Nuwa was sealed away, Heaven does not want all living beings to see the saint representing Heaven confronting Heaven in public.

Moreover, he is Tongtian Jiaozhu, one of the Three Pure Ones, and it is highly likely that he brought out several saints, including Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Nuwa.

Therefore, when the Heavenly Dao saw the Tongtian Sect Master's determination, he appeared using the body of Hongjun Daozu.

"Come with me to Zixiao Palace, and this great calamity for humanity will end here!"

The voice of Heavenly Dao Hongjun was devoid of any emotion, icy and cold, striking the hearts of Dijun and Taiyi.

"No! The demon race and the human race are sworn enemies. Things have come to this, how can we give up so easily!"

Just as Di Jun was about to speak, he swallowed his words. Before unifying the prehistoric world, he had no say in the face of the Heavenly Dao. Even if he spoke, he would only humiliate himself. He could only secretly hope that the Tongtian Sect Leader would refuse.

"Third brother!"

As Yuanshi Tianzun stepped out of Kunlun Mountain, the Pangu Banner fluttered in the wind, ready to support Tongtian Jiaozhu.

"Second brother, wait a minute."

Lao Tzu's voice rang in the ears of the Primordial Celestial Venerable. On Shouyang Mountain, the Taiji diagram slowly rotated, Lao Tzu's white hair moved without wind, and his two long-browed eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"Brother! Third brother?"

"This was his own choice."

Lao Tzu gazed at the azure figure in the sky that was defying the Dao of Heaven, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"If you and I were to take action, the Three Pure Ones would be joining forces to oppose the Heavenly Dao, and the primordial world would surely descend into chaos."

"But if we go to Zixiao Palace, we will inevitably follow in the footsteps of Fellow Daoist Nuwa!"

"Now my third brother is also a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, a dignified saint, and he has his own considerations."

Lao Tzu stood up and sat down again. After much deliberation, he finally made a decisive statement: "When our third brother sees clearly what he wants to see, that will be the time for us to make our move."

"Fine! Since that's the case, let Xuanqiong come to Kunlun Mountain to listen to the Dao. We can't let Xuanqiong's cultivation be delayed just because Third Brother isn't here."

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed, and ultimately, considering Li Qing's previous performance, decided to take over the role of Tongtian Jiaozhu in giving him some guidance.

"I think my third brother has also left a backup plan on Jin'ao Island. You and I can help keep an eye on it. Besides, the seal of Heaven cannot suppress a saint for one lifetime. As long as we find the place of the seal, there will be a way to break it."

Lao Tzu looked up at the sky. At that moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader showed no fear on his face, but instead chuckled.

"In that case, I will go to Zixiao Palace to receive my master's teachings!"

Having said that, he threw the four swords of Zhuxian into Biyou Palace and then sheathed the Qingping sword.

Tian Dao Hongjun nodded, pointed with his hand, and the secrets of heaven became clear. He glanced at Tongtian Jiaozhu, who kept his word and followed Tian Dao Hongjun straight to Zixiao Palace.

Seeing that the secrets of heaven were clear, Laozi pointed with his hand, and the Taiji diagram flew out again, landing in Li Qing's hand.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi will surely harbor murderous intentions again. Go and stop them, so that I can make plans for you in the future!"

Laozi had already calculated that Dijun's character would inevitably lead him to continue attacking the human race. In order to plan for the future, he immediately prepared to have Li Qing, who had already arrived, take action.

Li Qing looked up and saw the demon race's banner waving in the air.

"Send word: Pursue Zhen Yuanzi and slaughter the remaining humans, leaving no one alive!"

The instant the Tongtian Sect Leader disappeared, a fierce glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes, and he transmitted his voice to Taiyi.

Although he didn't know what had happened between Tongtian Jiaozhu and Hongjun Daozu, now that Hongjun Daozu, who represented the Heavenly Dao, had taken Tongtian Jiaozhu away, wasn't this the perfect time for him to succeed?

At this moment, the Hetu Luoshu shone brightly. Upon hearing Dijun's words, Taiyi disregarded everything and the Chaos Bell in his hand began to hum.

Just then, a beam of clear light rose from the earth.

The light was not dazzling, but it was like a sharp sword piercing the sky, forcefully intercepting Taiyi's movements.

"Your Majesty, the great calamity for humanity has passed. It's time to let them live peacefully on the earth!"

"Xuanqiong?"

Di Jun frowned slightly, the Hetu and Luoshu scrolls rotating gently, and starlight formed a barrier to trap Li Qing: "Junior, although you are a Great Luo Golden Immortal, you are not worthy to be presumptuous before me. I will temporarily seal you away today to prevent you from causing further trouble in the future!"

"My master, the Sage Tongtian, established the teachings of the Jie Sect precisely to secure a glimmer of hope for all living beings. He sought this glimmer of hope for humanity, and now that the secrets of heaven are clear, how can I, as his disciple, stand idly by?"

Li Qing let out a long roar and threw the Reincarnation Gourd in his hand into the air, where it cast down thousands of rays of clear light, attempting to break Di Jun's seal, but he could not do so.

Taiyi had already gone after Zhenyuanzi, and Dijun continued to sneer, "You think you can defy the heavens like Tongtian Shengren, with your mere status as a Great Luo Golden Immortal? You dare to stand in my way? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"We, the disciples of the Jie Sect, have an inescapable duty to do what is right today. What fear is there even if we face death nine times over?"

Li Qing already felt a bit suffocated, so he immediately activated his magic power again. The Taiji Diagram burst forth with countless rays of light, instantly breaking Di Jun's seal.

"Although my master is gone, the disciples of the Jie Sect are still here, so there is still hope for the human race!"

As Li Qing finished speaking, a beam of celestial light rose from Shouyang Mountain.

Lao Tzu sat upright in the Eight Views Palace, with Yin and Yang spanning the heavens and earth, like a natural chasm separating the demon army from the human race below.

"Xuanqiong's words should serve as a model for all disciples of the Xuanmen Sect."

Lao Tzu's aged voice resounded throughout the primordial world, unhurried and calm, yet it caused Di Jun's expression to change drastically.

Immediately afterwards, on Mount Kunlun, the Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke.

Jade Purity Immortal Light soared into the sky, complementing the Supreme Purity Immortal Light and the Upper Purity Daoist Charm.

"Although my third brother is not here, his disciples will be protected by us."

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi flew out from Mount Kunlun, suspended in the sky, with red, blue and yellow divine light hanging down, side by side with the golden bridge of the Taiji diagram, tearing a huge gap in the encirclement formed by the demon army.
