"can!"

Di Jun nodded: "I will return Wuzhiqi's true spirit to him later, and have him take the Immortal-Slaying Gourd to find you!"

If the Demon Court is to fall and the situation is beyond redemption, letting Wuzhiqi leave and saving his life is the only thing he, as the Demon Emperor, can do!

Upon hearing this, Wuzhiqi, who was standing to the side, quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"

He still admired Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have joined the demon race back then. But in the current situation, his life was more important. With the future memories brought by his avatar, as long as he didn't provoke that guy Dayu, he wouldn't face any major calamities in the future.

Di Jun looked at Xuan Yin again.

Helpless, Xuan Yin had no choice but to activate his divine powers and pull the twelve ancestral witches into the dream.

However, since the survival of the Lich and Demon races was at stake, Di Jun, despite his dissatisfaction with Tian Wu, did not show it at this juncture.

Dijiang and Dijun, each representing the Wu and Yao clans, reached some tacit understandings.

For example, regarding the matter of the Ten Golden Crows and the plan of the Witch Clan to awaken the underground passage, the Twelve Ancestral Witches needed to steal the sky and change the sun during the Ten Suns' patrol to leave a glimmer of hope for the nine demon princes.

Di Jun, on the other hand, was to support the Wu Clan at the crucial moment of their evolution of the underground passage, and to do his best to help the Wu Clan restrain a Heavenly Saint.

……

Soon, after reaching a tacit understanding, Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Wuzhiqi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches withdrew from Xuan Yin's dream one after another.

Xuan Yin also breathed a sigh of relief.

This is, after all, just a dream. What everyone manifests is merely a consciousness. Even if Di Jun were here, he would have no way to attack Tian Wu.

As long as the two of them don't mention the rumors, I can choose to stay out of it.

Xuan Yin's consciousness slowly returned to reality. Kunlun Mountain remained majestic and tranquil. No one knew that a momentous meeting that could determine the future and influence the long river of time had just taken place.

On the other side, seeing more and more disciples of the Jie Sect and the Tongtian Sect Master who remained silent, Yuanshi Tianzun was getting restless.

Based on past experience, at this point in time, the Three Pure Ones would part ways, and the Tongtian Sect Leader would leave Kunlun with his disciples.

But now, the Tongtian Sect Leader has no intention of leaving Kunlun Mountain at all, and has even personally helped his disciples set up several magic arrays!
This means they don't want to leave!

However, the fortune of the sages is as heavy as a mountain. As the lineage of the three sages developed, the Kunlun ancestral lineage could no longer withstand this fortune.

Therefore, the separation of the Three Pure Ones and their respective search for sacred sites was an inevitable trend.

There is only one disciple under the Taiqing Laozi sect now, but that doesn't really matter.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already taken in tens of thousands of disciples, and the interwoven arrays had drawn most of the spiritual energy of East Kunlun to the vicinity of Shangqing Peak.

Furthermore, Kunlun Mountain, as the home of all gods and the place where Taoism flourished, is one of the important foundations for Yuanshi Tianzun to achieve the source of immortality and divinity.

He couldn't possibly give it to Tongtian.

Since Tongtian refused to leave and refused to pay his debts, he had no reason to simply kick Tongtian out!
However, he couldn't bring himself to go directly to the Tongtian Sect Leader to discuss the matter, so he could only go to Taiqing Laozi first to discuss the division of the family.

"Let's go!"

After hearing this, Taiqing Laozi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Let's take the initiative to go and discuss this with Tongtian!"

Among the Three Pure Ones, he adheres to the way of purity and non-action, and is more intimate with Yuanshi Tianzun. The two can be said to be natural Daoist friends.

This fellow Daoist is not because the Three Pure Ones share the same origin, but because the Dao of Purity and Non-Action has a higher degree of overlap with the Dao of the Four Nine Heavens represented by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Soon, the two arrived at the Shangqing Hall.

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at the two with great interest: "Fellow Daoists, why are you here in my Shangqing Hall instead of properly studying the Dao?"

Taiqing Laozi sighed softly: "Junior brother, why pretend to be confused? You should know that Kunlun Mountain cannot bear the lineage of the three sages!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader feigned an "I see" expression and chuckled, "So it turns out that you two Daoist brothers are preparing to move away from Kunlun Mountain. I wonder if you two Daoist brothers have found a place to practice?"

Yuanshi Tianzun could hardly contain himself. The Tongtian Sect Leader before him was so familiar, yet he felt utterly unfamiliar with him!
This ability to feign ignorance seems to surpass even that of the two Western Saints!

He immediately looked at Taiqing Laozi!

Taiqing Laozi was somewhat helpless, but still spoke up: "Junior Brother Tongtian, you should know that the Kunlun Ancestral Vein is related to the Primordial Dao! If it weren't for the Kunlun Ancestral Vein, how could he have achieved the source of immortality and divinity?"

"None of my business!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader scoffed, "I didn't force him to leave Kunlun Mountain. If he didn't want to leave, could I have forced him to go?"

At this moment, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable could not remain silent and sighed, "Tongtian, what will it take for you to leave with the disciples of the Jie Sect?"

Why should I leave?

The Tongtian Sect Leader continued to feign ignorance, saying, "This Kunlun Mountain evolved from the physical body of the Father God, so naturally I, the Tongtian Sect Leader, should have a share in it!"

"you……"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was speechless.

Is what the Tongtian Sect Leader said reasonable?

Of course!
All three of them were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. Since Kunlun Mountain has a share of Yuanshi Tianzun's, then Tongtian Jiaozhu's should also have a share.

However, he and Tongtian were not on the same path, and staying together would inevitably lead to conflict. In the past twenty reincarnations, Tongtian had taken the initiative to leave.

This time, however, Tongtian was determined not to leave the Kunlun Ancestral Vein easily!

"Ugh!"

Taiqing Laozi said with some helplessness, "Junior Brother Tongtian, you should know that the division of the Three Pure Ones into their own family is an important part of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao!"

"So what?" The Tongtian Sect Leader's expression remained unchanged: "The separation of the Three Pure Ones is the inevitable trend of Heaven, and I did not stop it. I just do not want to leave Kunlun Mountain!"

"Since you want to follow the will of Heaven, why don't you two just leave?"

"I've already given up Kunlun twenty times. This time, shouldn't it be your turn... to give me the Kunlun ancestral vein?"

Although this is not in line with his usual attitude, the Kunlun ancestral vein has tangible benefits, so why should it be given to Yuanshi Tianzun?
"You know, Mount Kunlun is related to my Great Dao, and it is something I am determined to obtain!"

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning regained his composure and slowly spoke, "Tell me, what do you want in return for leading the disciples of the Intercepting Sect away from Kunlun?"

He was also helpless. The Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly pulled this trick on him, and he was indeed in the wrong. He could only give the Tongtian Sect Leader some compensation!

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled, "The path of the sage is extraordinary; how can it be measured by the value of ordinary things?"

"How about, Brother Yuanshi, you exchange your Pangu Banner with me?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable cared most about Pangu's authentic lineage, because he wanted to use this cause and effect to prove Pangu's Dao fruit in countless reincarnations.

As a primordial treasure, the Pangu Banner bears the name "Pangu" and originated from the divine axe used by Pangu when he created the world. It is of utmost importance to Yuanshi Tianzun.

He certainly couldn't agree!

"impossible!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said decisively, "You should know the significance of the Pangu Banner to me!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader had also guessed this point. The reason he made such an outrageous request was because of a principle that Xuan Yin had told him.

Those who aim for the highest will only achieve the middle; those who aim for the middle will only achieve the lowest.

If you don't make an outrageous demand right away and cross the line with the Primordial Celestial Venerable, how can there be any room for negotiation later?
Seeing this, Taiqing Laozi also chimed in, saying, "Junior Brother Tongtian, your request is indeed a bit excessive! Not to mention Yuanshi, even I wouldn't agree to it!"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader snorted coldly: "In the past twenty reincarnations, have I ever asked you for even the slightest benefit?"

Seeing that the two remained silent, he continued, "If you want me to leave Kunlun, you'll have to offer at least a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"I think that gourd that Brother Yuanshi picked from Buzhou Mountain is quite good!"

He obtained this innate gourd for Xuan Yin's sake. The essence of an innate gourd was clearly insufficient to suppress the baleful energy within the God-Slaying Flying Knife.

"Can!"

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately nodded, and with a slight movement of his sleeves, a blue gourd with a trace of chaotic energy flew towards Tongtian Jiaozhu. Forty-five innate restrictions were clearly revealed, and the marks on it were directly erased by him with a thought.

Although this gourd is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it is of little use to him and does not affect the future trend of the Heavenly Dao.

Things that can be discarded.

If he didn't want to have a direct battle with Tongtian at this moment to decide the ownership of Kunlun Mountain, he had no choice but to use this gourd to exchange for it!

Seeing that the Tongtian Sect Leader had accepted the gourd, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun immediately prepared to leave, but the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke again: "Wait! Since we are going to divide the family, shouldn't we do it thoroughly? The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda left by the Father God also has a share for me, shouldn't I get a share as well?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned and asked incredulously, "Tongtian, what are you saying? How can the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda be divided?"

"Why not?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader remained expressionless as he looked at Taiqing Laozi: "Those who follow different paths cannot make plans together! Since the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus can be divided, why can't the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda be divided? You must know that this acquired treasure was left to the three of us by our father, Pangu!"

"But Fellow Daoist Taiqing, relying on his elder brother's name, kept this treasure safe and possessed it for twenty reincarnations!"

“Is this fair?”

Before the Tongtian Sect Leader finished speaking, a thunderous roar of divine lightning resounded throughout countless dimensions, and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda above the auspicious clouds above Taiqing Laozi's head also flew out involuntarily, seemingly about to be split into three by the cause and effect triggered by the Tongtian Sect Leader's words!
"No!"

Taiqing Laozi quickly stopped him, saying, "If it is divided into three, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda will probably no longer be as renowned as the number one defensive treasure of the acquired world. Tongtian, I can compensate you with other spiritual treasures!"

"no need!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head: "I don't want any compensation, I just want my share! What about the ultimate defensive treasure for the acquired realm? I don't care about that either!"

Boom!

The divine lightning of creation once again brought with it the cause and effect in the dark. In the blink of an eye, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda transformed into three pagodas.

The primordial energy descended, enveloped in golden light, revealing the unmistakable power of the supreme acquired merit treasure, with the forty-eight acquired restrictions shining brightly.

However, the origin split into three, and He fell from the position of the acquired treasure!
In the primordial world, thirty-seven to forty-eight restrictions are considered top-grade spiritual treasures, while forty-nine restrictions are exclusive to innate and acquired supreme treasures.

Don't underestimate this seemingly simple restriction; its power is vastly different. Each of the three pagodas may possess power comparable to the Five Primordial Banners.

But now, it no longer qualifies as the number one defensive treasure acquired after birth!
Instead, it is...

Taiqing Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda

【Yuqing Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda】

The Shangqing Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda

The three pagodas, each resonating with the Great Dao of the Three Pure Ones, unleashed countless rays of profound light, which then involuntarily disappeared into the auspicious clouds above the heads of the Three Pure Ones.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Taiqing Laozi's eyes: "Tongtian, why did you do this? You destroyed a precious acquired treasure for a moment of anger!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader didn't care at all and laughed, "A post-natal treasure isn't mine, is it? But now, this top-grade post-natal spiritual treasure is mine!"

"I'm not losing out anyway!"
