Seeing the appearance of these three Sages, everyone present could not help but feel deep veneration. The three of them were the cornerstones of the stability of the Eastern Immortal World, and the biggest backer of the Heavenly Court. They were known as the Three Pure Ones: the Grand Supreme Saint, the Primeval Saint, and the Prime of Heaven.
It could be said that the reason the Immortal World had millions of peaceful days was because of these three great gods.
Without them, the Buddhists would have destroyed the Eastern Immortal World long ago. They might even have refined a new Blood Sacrifice Forbidden Artifact!
Moreover, the cultivation methods created by the three of them were widely circulated. It could be said that most of the cultivation methods in the Immortal World were inspired by them. Some were even passed down in their original versions.
Especially the Grand Supreme Saint. His Tao Te Ching was known as the number one scripture in the Immortal World. Almost every cultivator would study it for their entire life.
In that sense, it was not an exaggeration to call the three disciples of Daofather Hongjun the Patriarch of the Immortal World.
However, the relationship between the three Saints was not very harmonious. Their eldest Senior Brother, the Grand Supreme Saint, emphasized peace. Although he was the leader of the Human Dao Sect, he almost never interfered with the affairs of the Immortal World. He only took in one disciple, and that was the famous Emperor-level expert, the Great Wizard Xuan Du.
However, the Primeval Saint and the Prime of Heaven were more lively. They both created their own sects and took in many disciples.
The Primeval Saint founded the Chan Sect. He had twelve Golden Immortals, each of them outstanding.
The Prime of Tongtian, on the other hand, was even better. As the founder of the Order of Jieism, he had taken in tens of thousands of disciples. Although many of them were demons and ghosts, and their talents were not good, the huge base determined that there would be more talents among his disciples.
The Primeval Saint and the Prime of Heaven were brothers and had a good relationship in the past. However, their sects were not harmonious. Both sides fought for territory and treasures in the Lower Realm, causing a lot of trouble.
As a result, there was a rift between the Primeval Saint and the Prime of Heaven. As things got worse, the Jie Sect, which had the advantage in numbers, bullied the Primeval Saint's disciples.
The Primeval Saint was a very protective person. When he saw his disciples being bullied, he personally dealt with them in a rage. He was especially ruthless.
In the end, his actions angered the Prime of Tongtian, and the two Sages failed to make peace. In the end, they broke off completely, and even the Grand Supreme Sage could not suppress them.
Although the Prime of Tongtian was ranked third, his combat power was extremely strong. He was even stronger than the Second Senior Brother, the Primeval Saint. That was why the Primeval Saint was at a disadvantage when they fought.
Of course, the Primeval Saint was not happy about it. However, he could not get the Taishang Saint to help him. Hence, in a fit of anger, he joined forces with the Buddhists to teach the Prime of Tongtian a lesson.
Back then, when the Jie Sect was at its peak, it was known as the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Jie Sect. In the end, it was defeated by the Primordial Beginning Saint and the Buddhist Sect. If not for the fact that the Grand Saint could not take it anymore and stopped him at the critical moment, Jie School would have almost closed down.
Even so, the Prime of Tongtian's elite disciples had suffered heavy losses. They were either crippled or converted to Buddhism. It was said that the current Mahavairocana was actually the first disciple of the Prime of Tongtian.
This matter had happened millions of years ago. Many experts in the Immortal World were not aware of it. Song Zhong only found out about it after he became the Heavenly Emperor.
The Primeval Saint and the Prime of Tongtian's behavior after meeting each other proved this point.
The moment the two of them met, they looked at each other coldly. Their auras surged. The Primeval Saint's divine power surged like a tidal wave. Rolling waves crashed in all directions, fully showing the Primeval Saint's anger.
On the other hand, the Prime of Tongtian was surrounded by Sword Qi. A terrifying murderous aura rose into the sky, as if it was going to cut the surrounding space into pieces!
Fortunately, the Primeval Saint and the Prime of Tongtian knew that now was not the time for conflict. Hence, their divine power only appeared in the surroundings. There was no direct conflict.
Otherwise, just the impact of their auras was enough to shake the surrounding Emperor-level experts half to death.
To be honest, Song Zhong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the two great enemies did not fight. He was afraid that the two of them would fight as soon as they met. With the strength of these two people, even Song Zhong would find it difficult to separate them.
With the arrival of the three Saints, SongZhong and the rest naturally could not greet them. Goddess Houtu, Western Mother Empress and SongZhong hurriedly took a step forward and greeted, "We pay our respects to the three Saints!"
Although the Three Pure Ones were high and mighty, they were not that arrogant. They nodded and returned the greeting. "Greetings, Goddess Houtu, Jade Lake Saint, and the new East Royal Saint!"
After greeting each other, the Grand Supreme Saint, the Primeval Saint, and the Prime of Tongtian curiously looked at Song Zhong.
As the leader, the Grand Supreme Saint was the first to ask, "East Royal Saint has become a Saint at such a young age. It's really amazing! I heard that my master has seen the token fall into your hands. I wonder if you can show it to us? "
When Song Zhong heard this, he was shocked. He immediately thought of the Jade Archive of Good Fortune. He thought to himself, "Are these three Saints trying to snatch my treasure?"
The reason why Song Zhong was so worried was that the Jade Archive of Good Fortune was not in his hands. On the contrary, the direct disciple of Tao Ancestor Hong Jun was more qualified to inherit this treasure than him.
However, although Song Zhong was worried, he did not refuse. He stretched out his hand and summoned the Chaos Bell. "Of course, please take a look!"
As soon as the Supreme Artifact, the Chaos Bell, appeared, the surrounding space immediately trembled. A terrifying aura that seemed to resonate with the Way of Heaven was emitted from it. Even the Three Pure Ones were shocked!
As for the surrounding Emperor-level experts, they were forced to retreat a distance to avoid making a fool of themselves under this terrifying pressure.
While they were shocked by the power of the Chaos Bell, the Three Pure Ones finally discovered the white jade archive inlaid on the Chaos Bell.
After sensing the surging will of the Way on it, the Three Pure Ones instantly determined its identity. It was the Jade Archive of Good Fortune that their master had painstakingly cultivated all his life.
Without the slightest hesitation, the three Sages, whose status in the Immortal World was as high as the noon sun and could even be called the supreme Sages, withdrew their auras and knelt on the spot in front of the Jade Archive of Good Fortune. Then, with incomparable reverence and excitement, they said respectfully, "Greetings, Master!"
No matter how high their status was, they had to be respectful and pious in front of their master. This was the principle of filial piety that maintained the operation of the Immortal Realm!
Therefore, the kneeling of the Three Purities Saints did not affect their status in the hearts of the masses. Instead, it made them even more admirable.
The Jade Archive of Good Fortune seemed to have sensed the aura of the Three Pure Ones. Immediately, it began to emit dazzling light, and the most mysterious aura of the Great Path was transmitted from it.
After the Grand Supreme Sage, the Primeval Sage, and the Prime of Prime Sage felt this incomparably mysterious will of the Great Path, they were instantly overjoyed and hurriedly calmed down to comprehend it.
As the three of them comprehended this will of the Great Path, various strange phenomena gradually began to appear around them.
The Grand Supreme Sage's thin figure was clearly in front of them, but the feeling he gave off was gradually becoming blurred, as if his entire person had merged with the Great Path of Heaven.
On the other hand, a green auspicious cloud appeared above the Primeval Sage's head again, and white lotuses appeared around him. Each white lotus represented a Law of the Great Path. The combined power of thousands of white lotuses formed a terrifying aura that was actually not much weaker than the power of the Bell of Chaos!
As for the Prime of Prime Sage, the phenomenon that he displayed was the most terrifying. Streaks of terrifying Sword Will appeared around him, and each of them represented a Law of Slaughter. The number of Sword Will was like a carp crossing the river. There were countless of them, and the sharp Sword Will almost filled up the surrounding thousands of feet of space. Anyone who dared to approach would probably be torn to shreds on the spot by the Sword Will!
However, while these Sword Wills were endlessly evolving, they were also constantly combining. As the Prime of Prime Sage's comprehension deepened, the speed of combining the Sword Wills also increased. In the end, all the Sword Wills were fused into one, forming an ethereal Sword Will that hung above the Prime of Prime Sage's head.
Although this ethereal Sword Will looked inconspicuous, the terrifying power that it contained shocked Song Zhong.
Clearly, from the phenomenon that they displayed, the three of them had benefited greatly from the Creation Jade Archive.
Soon, the light of the Creation Jade Archive disappeared, and the three Saints also ended their comprehension.
After the three of them got up, they cupped their fists and bowed to Song Zhong together. "Thank you for your help, East Sovereign. The three of us have finally obtained the last inheritance of our master."
"You flatter me," Song Zhong hurriedly said. "The Creation Jade Archive originally belonged to the Taoist Ancestor. Logically speaking, it should be returned to the three of you."
Before Song Zhong could finish, he was immediately interrupted by the Three Pure Ones laughing loudly.
"Haha!" The Grand Supreme Sage laughed. "Since the Creation Jade Archive has chosen you, it means that it is fated to be with you. It has nothing to do with us anymore!"
"That's right," the Primeval Saint laughed. "Moreover, with our status, how could we possibly take something from you?"
"In fact, since you have inherited the Creation Jade Archive and our master's Creation Path, you can also be considered as our successor!" The Prime of Prime Sage laughed. "In other words, you are half of our junior!"
Upon hearing that, Song Zhong was surprised and delighted. He did not expect the Three Pure Ones to be so open-minded. They were not moved by the treasure at all, and they even recognized Song Zhong as their junior. Such boldness was truly worthy of the title of a Saint. In comparison, the three Saints of Buddhism were far inferior in terms of bearing! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
