Chapter 208 Tongtian: If only Niu Ben could marry Sanxiao!
This was after learning that Niu Ben didn't want the Primordial Purple Qi on Hongyun's body.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian were both filled with confusion.
You must know that the Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation of the Great Dao.
Earlier, powerful demons like Kunpeng intercepted Hongyun, ultimately causing him to self-destruct, leaving the Primordial Purple Qi he possessed ownerless.
This even attracted the attention of the Styx Ancestor of the Netherworld Blood Sea, who intervened to fight for it.
In addition, countless powerful figures secretly covet it.
They all wanted to possess that wisp of primordial purple energy.
The allure of the foundation for sainthood is simply too great.
Subsequently, the incarnations of the two great saints, Tongtian and Zhunti, appeared and competed for it.
Everyone originally thought that the purple aura would fall into the hands of the sage.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, an unidentified black tortoise tore through the void and snatched the Primordial Purple Qi right under the noses of the two sage incarnations.
After that, the Xuan Turtle disappeared without a trace.
What neither Yuanshi nor Tongtian expected was...
This black tortoise was actually hiding on this Penglai Immortal Island.
Crucially, the Xuan Turtle also gave that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi to Niu Ben.
But Niu Ben didn't actually intend to take the Primordial Purple Qi.
"How could that be?"
"The opportunity to become a saint is right before your eyes."
"The Primordial Purple Qi that others would fight tooth and nail for, Niu Ben actually doesn't want?"
Yuanshi exclaimed in surprise, utterly perplexed.
"yes!
"Such an opportunity, who could refuse?"
Tongtian also looked surprised.
But soon, the surprise and doubt on their faces disappeared, replaced by a look of shock.
"Could it be...?"
At that moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian simultaneously thought of a possibility.
The Daoist patriarch Hongjun once said this during a sermon.
The path to enlightenment is not the only one; besides refining the Primordial Purple Qi and conforming to the Heavenly Dao to achieve the status of a sage, there are other paths as well.
There are still other paths to take.
For example, like Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who severed his three corpses to become a saint.
Besides this, there is an even more difficult but also more transcendent path.
That is to prove the Dao through force, just like Pangu, and become a Primordial Golden Immortal!
Although this realm does not possess the same harmony with the Heavenly Dao as the Heavenly Dao Saints.
However, its combat power is comparable to that of a saint, and it is a true symbol of transcendence achieved through its own efforts.
Upon realizing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian's gazes met, and they both saw the shock and understanding in each other's eyes.
"Brother, your disciple is truly...ambitious!"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable exclaimed in surprise.
You should know that he has always valued lineage and background.
But at this moment, we must also admit it.
Niu Ben's ambitions far surpass those of ordinary cultivators.
"This is a road unlike any we've ever traveled before!"
Tongtian also sighed with emotion.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord was also shocked, but he respected Niu Ben's own choice and said calmly:
The Way is beneath your own feet.
"My disciple has made his own choice, and we, as his teachers, should simply respect that."
The Supreme Lord was extremely satisfied with his disciple, Niu Ben.
Besides, he knew that Niu Ben was determined.
If one has this ambition, forcing it will only make things worse.
Upon hearing what Taishang said, Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded.
At this moment, the Supreme Being changed the subject and said:
"I'll leave the two of you here this time."
"It was to discuss the ownership of that primordial purple energy."
"Let's see which disciple will be placed under your tutelage?"
Upon hearing this, both Yuanshi and Tongtian were startled.
The two did not speak, but instead fell into silence.
After all, such a choice is extremely difficult for both of them.
From their own perspective, they all naturally wanted to bestow the Primordial Purple Qi upon their disciples.
This means that they will have another Heavenly Saint under their tutelage in the future.
Whether it is to enhance the strength and fortune of our sect, or to occupy a more advantageous position in the future primordial world, it has immeasurable value.
However, if they were to take the initiative to speak up and try to win it over, they feared it would damage the harmony among the Three Pure Ones.
At this moment, the images of Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, and the other twelve Golden Immortals flashed through Yuanshi Tianzun's mind. Each of them was a person with profound blessings and extraordinary background.
It seems plausible that anyone could obtain this purple aura.
In Tongtian's heart, there were many talented disciples under his tutelage, including Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortals, making it even more difficult to choose.
At the same time, both Yuanshi and Tongtian were well aware that no matter which sect's disciples they bestowed this purple energy upon, it would inevitably cause resentment in the other sect, potentially damaging the hard-won harmony among the Three Pure Ones.
As sages, both of them possessed great wisdom.
No one wanted to bring it up, fearing it would damage the bond between the brothers.
Seeing that the two remained silent, the Supreme Being naturally discerned their concerns and calmly said:
"In that case, let my disciple Niu Ben decide for himself who owns the Primordial Purple Qi!"
"good!"
"What you say is absolutely right, elder brother!"
Upon hearing what Taishang said, Tongtian and Yuanshi nodded in agreement, having no objection.
Then, the two did not linger on the main island for long and returned to their respective dojos.
Upon returning, Yuanshi and Tongtian immediately summoned their respective disciples.
Inside the Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi and other disciples of the Chan Sect gathered together.
Yuanshi sat upright on his cloud bed, his gaze sweeping over the scene, and said calmly:
"Soon, an unprecedented sermon will be held on Penglai Island."
"This matter is entirely entrusted to Niu Ben. You all must cooperate fully and must not be negligent in the slightest."
Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi and the others bowed and agreed.
At this point, Yuanshi changed the subject and continued:
"In addition, you should frequently visit the main island in the future and get closer to your senior brother Niu Ben."
"When you encounter problems, you should humbly ask for advice and maintain good relationships with your fellow students."
As soon as Yuanshi uttered these words, the disciples of the Chan Sect, including Guangchangzi, immediately looked puzzled.
It's worth noting that they've always had a good relationship with Niu Ben.
In particular, after the battle in the East Sea, Niu Ben drove away the demon clan's Donghuang Taiyi, which made them even more respectful of him.
Why did Yuanshi specifically point this out?
After a moment's hesitation, Guang Chengzi and his disciples had already guessed what was going on.
They knew their master's words had a hidden meaning, but they dared not ask any further questions.
On the other side, after returning to Biyou Palace, Tongtian also summoned all his disciples.
First, the matter of the preaching conference was discussed.
Finally, he left the Three Immortal Maidens alone.
"Master, is there something important you need to tell us sisters to do?"
Yunxiao looked at Tongtian with curiosity and asked.
Tongtian smiled slightly, and said meaningfully:
"Yunxiao, you three sisters have always been familiar with Niu Ben."
"Now that the three religions are united and all reside on this Penglai Immortal Island, we should interact more and avoid becoming estranged!"
Upon hearing what Tongtian said, the three fairy maidens of Sanxiao were all stunned, their brows furrowed with confusion and bewilderment.
They felt that something seemed a little strange about their own situation.
Although hesitant, the Three Immortals bowed and accepted the order, then withdrew.
After the Three Immortals left, Tongtian glanced at himself and muttered to himself:
Whether you succeed or not depends on your own fate!
"This is all the guidance I can offer."
