Holy Emperor of the Primordial Witch Clan

Chapter 13 Primal Stain, Heartbreaking Truth

Chapter Thirteen:

Tongtian and Yuanshi fought fiercely in front of the Sanqing Hall on Kunlun Mountain, accidentally injuring Taishang. Ultimately, the Three Pure Ones broke apart, and Tongtian left Kunlun Mountain, arriving at Jin'ao Island in the East Sea to establish the Biyou Palace, a Taoist temple.

After sensing the separation of the Three Pure Ones' fortunes, Hongjun, who was in Zixiao Palace, was puzzled. So he sent a message to the Three Pure Ones, asking them to come to Zixiao Palace.

After receiving Hongjun's message, Taishang and Yuanshi immediately went to Zixiao Palace, while Tongtian hesitated.

Jin'ao Island and Biyou Palace.

At this moment, Tongtian was somewhat restless, repeatedly weighing whether or not to go to Zixiao Palace. If he went, he would realize that he had already abandoned the path of Quasi-Saint and switched to cultivating the Primordial Golden Immortal. If Hongjun found out, he might not be able to leave Zixiao Palace. However, if he did not go, it would be tantamount to directly turning against Hongjun. This made Tongtian very conflicted.

After careful consideration, Tongtian decided to go to Zixiao Palace. However, before going to Zixiao Palace, Tongtian made a special trip to Buzhou Mountain, but he did not go to see Xuan Chu. He only told Xing Tian, ​​the great witch of the Wu tribe, that he had gone to Zixiao Palace and asked Xing Tian to pass on the message to Xuan Chu.

In the Chaos Purple Palace, Hongjun sat high on the cloud platform, while Taishang and Yuanshi sat quietly on futons. Of the Three Pure Ones, only Tongtian had not yet arrived.

Taishang and Yuanshi looked at Hongjun, who was expressionless on the cloud platform, and felt uneasy. Yuanshi, in particular, had just broken with Tongtian and was summoned to Zixiao Palace by Hongjun. Anyone who wasn't a fool would know that Hongjun must have sent the Three Pure Ones to Zixiao Palace because of his affair with Tongtian.

At this moment, Tongtian's voice came from outside Zixiao Palace: "Disciple Tongtian requests an audience with Master."

"Come in!" Hongjun said calmly upon hearing Tongtian's voice.

As the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened, Tongtian walked in. He glanced at Taishang and Yuanshi, then bowed to Hongjun and said, "Tongtian greets Master, and wishes you a long and healthy life."

"No need for formalities, please sit down," Hongjun nodded and said.

After Tongtian sat down on the futon, Hongjun asked him, "Tongtian, I wanted all three of you brothers to send a message at the same time. Taishang and Yuanshi arrived early, why are you late?"

Hongjun was somewhat displeased with Tongtian's late arrival. In Hongjun's opinion, as the representative of the Heavenly Dao, he should arrive at Zixiao Palace as soon as possible, no matter who he wanted to see. Taishang and Yuanshi did a good job in this regard, but Tongtian was the only one who arrived late.

Tongtian said, "I have just established a temple in the East Sea and am busy with worldly affairs, which is why I am late and have made you wait. It is my fault and I hope you will forgive me."

"Very well, I am not a petty person. Since you are troubled by worldly affairs, it is alright if you are late." Hongjun did not argue with Tongtian too much. Now that everyone was here, Hongjun began to talk about business.

Hongjun said, "I've summoned you to Zixiao Palace today, surely you know why? The division of the Three Pure Ones is no small matter. Tell me, why?"

"Teacher!" Yuanshi, one of the parties involved, answered first: "This matter has nothing to do with my elder brother. It is simply that Tongtian is too arrogant and disrespectful to his elders. Not only did he fight with me, but he also accidentally injured my elder brother Taishang. I simply cannot tolerate this, so I chose to sever ties with him. I hope you will investigate this matter thoroughly, Teacher."

After hearing Yuanshi's words, Hongjun looked at Tongtian and asked, "Tongtian, is this really the truth?"

Tongtian felt wronged and angry. Yuanshi was shifting all the blame onto him. Yuanshi had clearly started the fight, but in the end, it was Tongtian who was in the wrong. What chilled Tongtian even more was that Yuanshi was distorting the facts so blatantly, while Taishang stood by and did nothing, allowing Yuanshi to slander him.

Although Taishang was very dissatisfied with Yuanshi's fabrication, Tongtian was now involved with the Pangu Palace. Once the matter was exposed, no one knew how the Heavenly Dao would punish Tongtian. In severe cases, Tongtian might be stripped of his status as a Heavenly Dao Saint. If that were the case, then only Yuanshi could be trusted in the future. Therefore, he could not disappoint Yuanshi at this time and could only wrong Tongtian.

Faced with Hongjun's question, Tongtian did not offer any explanation, but simply lowered his head and said, "Master, the truth is no longer important. The conflict between me and Yuanshi is extremely deep and cannot be resolved. Since that is the case, then I will take the initiative to leave Kunlun Mountain to avoid greater conflict in the future. As for whether I become one of the Three Pure Ones or the Two Pure Ones in the future, it will not change my identity as a descendant of Pangu, so what does it matter?"

"Sigh..." Hongjun sighed and said, "Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, the Three Pure Ones were originally one family, why did it have to come to this?" Hearing the answers from Yuanshi and Tongtian, Hongjun understood that the separation of the Three Pure Ones was irreversible. Since that was the case, Hongjun stopped trying to persuade them. After all, the separation of the Three Pure Ones was the general trend in the future. It was just that the time had been brought forward a little, which was not a big deal. Besides, no matter how the fortune of the Three Pure Ones was dispersed, as long as they were still in the Xuanmen, it didn't matter.

"Since that's the case, then I won't say anything more. I just hope you can remember that even if you no longer hold the titles of the Three Pure Ones, you will still be my disciples of the Xuanmen sect. Remember not to fight among yourselves," Hongjun said.

"We understand, Master. Please rest assured," the three replied.

"Alright, Zixiao Palace is not a place for you to stay any longer. You should leave quickly and take care of yourselves in the future." Now that the matter was resolved, Hongjun let the three of them leave Zixiao Palace.

"Yes."

"Tongtian!" After leaving Zixiao Palace, Taishang called out to Tongtian.

However, Tongtian was still resentful that Taishang had let Yuanshi splash dirty water on him without doing anything, so he ignored it and flew away.

After Tongtian left, Yuanshi sneered, "Tongtian really doesn't care about old feelings at all. Brother, such a person doesn't deserve to be called our brother. It's best to have less contact with him in the future."

Taishang shook his head and said, "Alright, let's go back to Kunlun Mountain."

After the Three Pure Ones left, Hongjun deduced what had happened on Kunlun Mountain and found that things were different from what Yuanshi had said. Hongjun also discovered that Tongtian had spent ten thousand years on Buzhou Mountain. However, Hongjun found that he could not deduce what Tongtian had done during those ten thousand years, which made him uneasy. There was only one place on Buzhou Mountain that could shield him from deduction, and that was the Pangu Palace, which was formed from Pangu's heart. But what exactly happened to Tongtian in the Pangu Palace during those ten thousand years?

Hongjun grew increasingly uneasy. Ever since Xuan Chu appeared, nothing he did had gone smoothly.

"Tongtian must have met Xuanchu, but I wonder what Xuanchu said to Tongtian? It seems we can't wait any longer. We must get the Three Pure Ones to become saints as soon as possible. Once the Three Pure Ones become saints, no matter how powerful Xuanchu is, he won't be able to stop my plan," Hongjun murmured.

So Hongjun sent a message to Nuwa, asking her to come to Zixiao Palace. Hongjun had already planned how the six sages of the Heavenly Dao would return to their positions. If the Three Pure Ones wanted to become sages, Nuwa had to become a sage first. Originally, Hongjun wanted to wait for Nuwa to comprehend the secret to becoming a sage on her own, but now that something had happened to the Three Pure Ones, Hongjun decided not to wait any longer and directly asked Nuwa to come to Zixiao Palace to tell her the secret to becoming a sage.
