The Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged in the void opposite Hu Le, and for a moment each of the four was surrounded by immortal light.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Le asked the three men why they had come.
The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily and replied, "After the three of us transcended, we each relinquished our positions as sect leaders and entrusted the sects to our respective trusted disciples..."
Hu Le nodded in understanding.
After all, the position of leader carries great responsibility and needs someone to inherit and develop the sect.
The Three Pure Ones' choice to trust their disciples is also a form of inheritance and continuation.
Now that they have nothing to do, they came to visit Hu Le to renew their old friendship, and also hoped to benefit from Hu Le's influence and comprehend the Great Dao on the other side outside Hongmeng City.
Hu Le naturally had no objection to this, and he nodded with a smile in agreement.
In fact, Hu Le understood that the three of them probably only came here to reminisce about old times, and their real purpose was to comprehend the Great Dao.
However, if you see through something but don't say it, you can still remain friends.
Hu Le wasn't the type to spoil the mood; he smiled and agreed.
Since we're all friends, why bother with so much?
As long as the friendship between us remains, everything is negotiable.
Besides, this Hongmeng City doesn't belong to him, so he can't act so domineeringly and establish the identity of a seeker of the Dao.
Seeing that Hu Le agreed so readily, the Three Pure Ones smiled and were very happy.
Lao Tzu raised his hand and pointed towards the void, and a Tai Chi diagram shimmering with black and white light flew out from his sleeve.
The Tai Chi diagram spun in the air and immediately transformed into a white jade bridge spanning the void rift.
The golden bridge radiated five-colored light, as dazzling as a blazing sun, illuminating billions of miles of void.
The next moment, Lao Tzu stepped onto the golden bridge, sat cross-legged on it, closed his eyes, and entrusted his divine sense to the all-encompassing treasure that is the Taiji Diagram, trying to sense the mysteries of the Great Dao.
Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun did not stand on ceremony and sat down cross-legged in the void, surrounded by a faint mysterious light and rising immortal energy.
The next second, a huge Pangu Banner appeared above his head, hanging down rays of light and constantly emitting strands of innate sword energy, shuttling back and forth in the void, crisscrossing.
At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader raised his hand and pointed downwards, summoning a formation diagram. This formation diagram contained countless innate killing intents, which formed a huge vortex that swallowed up the surrounding void.
The Tongtian Sect Leader stepped onto the array diagram and then sat down cross-legged.
His body was shrouded in a blue light, obscuring his face and figure.
However, the aura emanating from him was incredibly awe-inspiring.
A moment later, countless sword energies rose behind him, like a rain of swords rushing towards the surging aura of the Great Dao from the source of the rift between the two realms below.
Sensing the threat posed by the Tongtian Sect Leader, those Daoist auras underwent countless transformations, displaying boundless killing power, and clashed with the Tongtian Sect Leader's sword energy.
In an instant, the entire space was engulfed by endless light, as if it were about to destroy this world.
Amidst this endless light, the Tongtian Sect Master and the auras of the Great Dao were engaged in a fierce battle, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
The battle lasted a long time, until finally, the Tongtian Sect Leader unleashed his ultimate move—the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!
He made hand seals and chanted incantations.
As his incantation rang out, the innate killing intent on the array diagram suddenly became even more violent.
Four enormous swords flew in from the sky and hovered at the four corners of the array, representing the four kinds of killing intent: annihilation, slaughter, entrapment, and annihilation.
The four swords danced in the air, radiating boundless killing intent and power.
Each tremor and exhalation of these swords unleashed a fierce storm of sword energy, which those Dao auras could not withstand.
Ultimately, the aura of the Great Dao was completely suppressed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, forcing them to abandon their struggle for the space between the two realms and choose to flee this place.
However, before he could completely escape, he was suddenly swept up by the sword light and then taken into the mind of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
These forceful measures truly did not tarnish the name of the Holy Master of the Jie Sect.
The Three Pure Ones have now attained enlightenment and are using their respective methods to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Dao emanating from the rift between the two realms below.
Every insight is a breakthrough for oneself, and every practice is a pursuit of the true meaning of the Tao.
Just as the Three Pure Ones were entering a state of bliss, two auspicious seven-colored clouds suddenly drifted in from afar and soon stopped not far from Hu Le.
Hu Le looked up and saw that the visitors were Hongjun Daoist and Nuwa Niangniang.
Upon their arrival, the two immediately noticed that Sanqing was also present. They frowned, their eyes flashing with a hint of wariness.
Clearly, they were quite wary of the Three Pure Ones.
However, at that moment, Hu Le opened his eyes and looked at the two of them.
They immediately suppressed their displeasure, put on respectful expressions, bowed to Hu Le, and said in unison, "Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
Hu Le did not stand up, but simply smiled and returned the greeting from the lotus platform, saying softly, "No need for formalities, please sit down."
As Hu Le finished speaking, two streams of pure energy flew out from his body and transformed into two prayer mats that appeared before Hongjun Daoist and Nuwa Niangniang.
The two exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes, but they still sat down as instructed.
After the two were seated, Hu Le looked at them and asked with a smile, "From now on, you two will stay here with me to comprehend the Great Dao."
He knew perfectly well why the two had come, so he didn't waste any words with them. He not only gave them two prayer mats, but also gave them a chance.
Nuwa and Hongjun exchanged a glance, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes, and immediately nodded in agreement with smiles.
"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"
"good!"
After saying that, the two began to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Dao flowing before them.
However, this is, after all, formed from the power of the Primordial Dao, and its power is incomparably strong. If one rashly comprehends the power of the Dao within it, one will inevitably suffer severe damage.
Therefore, both of them carefully used their spiritual treasures to resist the impact of the Primordial Dao's power, in order to absorb the true mysteries deep within that Dao.
Just as they were gradually becoming immersed in the mysteries of the Great Dao, two more slender figures came gracefully from afar, riding on auspicious clouds.
Hu Le glanced up and then smiled.
These two, one with the Bodhi Dharma Body and the other with the Lotus Treasure Form, have both attained the Pure and Wondrous Truth, and are none other than the two holy leaders of the Amitabha and Cundi schools.
"You two, please sit down as well."
When the two approached, Hu Le didn't waste any words. He raised his hand and pointed, and two prayer mats appeared in the void, floating towards Jieyin and Zhunti...
