Chapter 512 Ancestor Hongjun Bestows the Sacred Pill of Death
Taishang, being the eldest of the Three Pure Ones, replied after being questioned by Hongjun:
"I saw it clearly; the Guide Daoist did indeed abduct the disciples of the Jie Sect."
"The question is about your view on Tongtian's reenactment of the events of heaven and earth," sighed the Ancestor Hongjun.
Since the Supreme Being severed his three corpses and became a saint, his temperament has become increasingly unpredictable.
"Has the world been reopened?" The Supreme Sage turned to look at Xuandu beside him: "Xuandu, did you see it?"
Grand Master Xuandu bowed:
"Master, I did not see it."
Seeing that the master and disciple from the Tushita Palace remained unmoved by reason, Hongjun, unable to find a reason to suppress them, turned to Yuanshi Tianzun and asked:
“Yuanshi, you speak.”
"Tongtian's actions have harmed your Chan Sect disciples. What do you think should be done about this?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable stood in the middle. As the saying goes, "Below the sage, all are ants." But he did not know that even the sage is suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, and under the Heavenly Dao, the sage is also a pawn.
What Hongjun Laozu least wanted to see was the unity of the Three Pure Ones.
If the three of them unite, and Pangu's primordial spirit merges into one, the probability of them emerging will be greater.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable lowered his eyes and said calmly:
"Tongtian's actions have caused immense suffering to countless people. The Heavenly Dao should not have harbored any resentment towards the Investiture of the Gods. The Chan Sect has been working tirelessly for the Investiture of the Gods, but it has been repeatedly obstructed by the Jie Sect. Now that the Jie Sect has lost its power, this grievance can be considered settled."
Upon hearing this, Hongjun Patriarch was finally somewhat satisfied, confirming that the Three Pure Ones were indeed at odds.
It was indeed the right thing to make the Chan and Jie factions oppose each other.
As long as the Three Pure Ones are not in harmony, Pangu's primordial spirit will not have a chance to be complete.
When the Jie Sect, the greatest sect in the Three Realms, separated, Hongjun originally predicted that many Taoists would die in the process, and their fortune and spiritual energy would return to the Heavenly Dao. However, now, too many people from the Jie Sect have survived.
The incompleteness of the Jade Disc of Creation was a source of great anxiety for Hongjun, the Old Ancestor.
He looked at the Master of Heaven and said in a deep voice:
"Tongtian, since Yuanshi has said so, do you have any rebuttal?"
This is shifting the blame for the disintegration of the Jie Sect onto Yuanshi Tianzun.
It seems that Heaven and Earth have no connection whatsoever; they are truly fair and just.
The Master of Heaven's face turned grim. "Hasn't the teacher's single 'statement of rebuttal' already sealed the guilt?"
"The disintegration of the Jie Sect is not what I wish to see." Ancestor Hongjun shook his head and sighed softly, "But you should never have set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and then wanted to reopen the world. Are you treating the lives of billions of beings in the Three Realms of the Primordial World as a joke?"
"You are all saints, yet you are still so unruly. You shall stay in Zixiao Palace and listen to the teachings properly."
The Tongtian Sect Master's Jie Sect has already disbanded, yet he is still being confined. How can he escape with Yang Jiao?
He pointed to the guide:
"He first demonstrated the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. If it weren't for the trigger, I wouldn't have thought of this method. Why didn't you keep him here to listen to the Dao?"
The guide's expression changed instantly, and he cried out that he was wronged:
"Teacher, I was just trying to scare them, I didn't really mean to destroy the primordial world."
Back then, he was surrounded and beaten by them. Even his 12th-grade Golden Lotus of Merit dropped three grades. In his anger, he made a move, but unexpectedly, it has now become Tongtian's topic of conversation.
The Supreme Sage nodded:
"Yes, I saw it."
He then turned to Xuandu and asked:
Did you see that?
Grand Master Xuandu bows:
"Yes, Master. Xuandu saw you in person."
Suddenly, the blame was pointed directly at the Guide, who was speechless and his face turned red with anxiety:
"Teacher, I made a good start, but I only intended to feint. The Western Sect has just abducted several thousand Taoists and is just before its great rise. How could I possibly destroy the Three Realms at this juncture!"
"He admitted to kidnapping the master's disciples."
"Tongtian!"
Jieyin hurriedly looked at Hongjun, his fists clenched. If they continued talking, he would have to stay in Zixiao Palace. He gritted his teeth and brought up the old story:
"Back then, the Western lands were prosperous. If it weren't for the great war that shattered the earth's veins, I wouldn't have resorted to this desperate measure."
As Hongjun Laozu watched their argument drag him into it, he felt utterly exhausted.
His lowered eyes were filled with a mixture of light and shadow, and the Jade Disc of Creation behind him showed more obvious cracks as his emotions fluctuated, with the Heavenly Dao's fortune slowly leaking out from the cracks.
He just wanted to suppress the Three Pure Ones.
If they continue talking, things might get out of hand.
Hongjun Patriarch said in a deep voice:
"enough."
The magnificent hall fell silent.
All that could be heard was him speaking:
“You two, as saints, have committed such acts of devastation and suffering, which has caused me great distress.”
"If every sage were like you, so prone to thoughts of destroying the primordial world and the three realms, what would become of us?"
It was rare for Ancestor Hongjun to raise his voice so sternly; the wrath of Heaven intimidated everyone.
He looked on with satisfaction to see that no one else spoke, and then continued:
“The saint’s abilities are too powerful. If this continues, we will entrust our primordial spirit to the Jade Disc of Creation and devote ourselves to cultivation.”
This all brings to light the fact that the sage's primordial spirit was not fully capable of mending the heavens.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi finally understood why even they had been summoned to Zixiao Palace—it was because he coveted their primordial spirits.
It seems that the Grandmaster Hongjun is in dire need of information regarding the incomplete Creation Jade Tablet.
More importantly, Jiao'er's appearance made the Heavenly Dao feel a sense of crisis.
The Three Pure Ones certainly understood the reasoning behind this.
The only one Hongjun feared was Pangu.
He thought that Pangu's primordial spirit was divided into three, and that separating the Three Pure Ones would solve the future problems. Little did he know that there was still a wisp of Pangu's primordial spirit.
Hongjun Laozu's actions were also a warning to Tongtian Jiaozhu that if he continued to do things against the Heavenly Dao, he would have a legitimate reason to take his primordial spirit to complete the Heavenly Dao.
Where is there anyone willing to do this?
The guide immediately admitted his mistake:
"Teacher, I dare not guide you."
"Look how dare you are." Hongjun Patriarch sneered, his peaceful expression vanished, and he looked at the Guide Daoist with a stern gaze, asking, "Since you are unwilling to be reliant on the Heavenly Dao, then after leaving Zixiao Palace, you shall reside in the West and shall not leave again unless there is a major event. Do you have any objections?"
The Guide clenched his fist tightly and said in a deep voice:
No objection.
Hongjun Patriarch nodded, then looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu and asked:
Do you have any objections?
"I have it," the Tongtian Sect Leader answered truthfully.
The Guide suddenly looked up, his gaze almost one of admiration as he looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader. How could he be so brave? The Hongjun Ancestor was clearly already angry, yet he still dared to speak out at this moment.
That's the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun!
At this moment, he began to envy the Three Pure Ones' background again.
The primordial spirit of the great god Pangu was divided into the form of hard qi.
Hongjun snorted coldly, his gaze toward Tongtian Jiaozhu turning hostile. He extended a finger, from which several chains coiled and wrapped around Tongtian Jiaozhu.
The Tongtian Sect Leader immediately summoned the Zhuxian Sword and hung it above his head.
sternly:
"I am by nature free. If you insist on keeping me in Zixiao Palace, I will risk my primordial spirit to return the chaotic evil energy to the primordial world!"
The guide was truly convinced.
No wonder the Tongtian Sect Leader was so assertive; his primordial spirit could indeed stir up chaos. He certainly had a privileged background.
"Foolish child!" Hongjun Ancestor shouted sternly, and took back the Heavenly Dao Chains in one go. But then he changed the subject and said with a smile, "If you don't want to be confined to Zixiao Palace, you can go back and not come out on your own. But the three of you..."
He pointed out the sigh of the Three Pure Ones.
"Tongtian intends to recreate the world, but Taishang and Yuanshi failed to supervise properly, causing chaos in the Three Realms of the Primordial World. Although you have the merit of creating the world, you are also suspected of destroying it."
Hongjun Laozu waved his sleeve, and three pills covered with dark patterns appeared in front of him.
"This pill can restrain your behavior. If you have any disloyal thoughts, even a saint will perish immediately."
