The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 109, Part 3: The Clear Division of Families

"Those furry, horned creatures are truly devoid of humanity! They can even heartlessly devour their own fellow spirit beasts with whom they spend every day!"

This angry rebuke rang out from the mountainside of Kunlun Mountain, coming from the mouth of the Antarctic Immortal.

Beside him stood a white crane boy with a sorrowful expression and a celestial deer.

However, at this moment, they just stared blankly at the scattered bones on the ground, their eyes filled with sorrow and disbelief.

The old man of the South Pole glared angrily at Qiu Shou Xian and Jin Guang Xian.

Their true forms are a blue-maned lion and a golden-maned pheasant, respectively, and eating meat and drinking blood is their nature.

The remains of the spirit deer before us, completely devoured, are clearly their handiwork.

"Hmph, it's nothing more than an unintelligent deer and a dull-witted crane. Let them eat it, why make such a fuss?"

"Old Man of the Antarctic, if you dare to speak disrespectfully again, today I will make you keep company with this pile of bones!"

"So what if I cursed them?" The Antarctic Immortal laughed angrily, pointing his halberd at the two of them.

"You ignorant and uncivilized creatures, lacking any sense of hierarchy or propriety, are only disgracing the sage's teachings by remaining in Kunlun!"

These words instantly ignited the pent-up resentment between the two sides, leaving no room for further discussion.

With a roar, Qiu Shou Xian and Jin Guang Xian immediately revealed some of their true forms, their sharp claws and fangs lunging straight at Antarctic Immortal.

Although the Antarctic Immortal was startled, he remained calm and managed to hold his ground against two opponents.

However, two fists cannot defeat four hands. Qiu Shou Xian is incredibly strong, and Jin Guang Xian is as swift as lightning, with perfect teamwork.

After only a few dozen rounds, the Antarctic Immortal began to feel the strain, defending more than attacking, and his Taoist robe was torn in several places by the sharp claw wind.

Seeing the situation was dire, the White Crane Boy turned pale and hurriedly used a secret method to send a message to his fellow disciples of the Chan Sect for help.

When Qiu Shou Xian and Jin Guang Xian noticed their actions, they were even more furious and let out a sharp whistle, calling out to the disciples of the Jie Sect.

In just a short while, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out one after another.

The elite disciples of both sects, including Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, and Taiyi Zhenren of the Chan sect, and Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu of the Jie sect, were all alarmed and appeared here.

The two exchanged a glance, sparks flying in the air, and without even exchanging a single polite word, it was unclear who struck first.

"boom!"

A chaotic battle ensued, with shouts, roars, and the clang of metal filling the air.

On Sanqing Peak, the three palaces of Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing were silent, and not even a sweeping boy showed up.

Inside the Xuandu Cave, Grand Master Xuandu sat quietly on a futon, his divine sense already taking in the chaos on the mountainside.

His eyelids were lowered, his fingers twitched slightly, but ultimately turned into an almost inaudible sigh, and he returned to silence.

For over a thousand years, they have tirelessly tried to reconcile and harmonize, exhausting themselves, yet they have been unable to change even the slightest thing.

Now, he is truly tired and has completely let go.

Only in the Taibai Palace, a dark figure descended upon the battle in the blink of an eye, a clear shout silencing all the noise:

"The Master has decreed: Disciples of the Chan and Jie sects must immediately return to their respective dojos for quiet cultivation and are forbidden from causing trouble or disturbance within Mount Kunlun, lest they disturb the tranquility of the Sage's dojo!"

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Hei. He stood with his hands behind his back, chin slightly raised, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below with undisguised arrogance.

"You wretched black dragon! How dare you act so presumptuously here! Get out of here at once!"

While engaged in a fierce battle with Qiu Shou Xian, the Antarctic Immortal looked up and saw Xiao Hei. Old and new grudges surged into his heart, and he cursed angrily.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Hei's gaze fell upon the person beneath his feet, and an apologetic expression immediately appeared on his face.

Just as he landed, he landed squarely on the back of the Antarctic Immortal's robe.

"So you are Fellow Daoist Antarctica. My apologies for my rudeness. I was caught off guard. I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Hei quickly lifted his foot, took half a step back, and solemnly clasped his hands in a bow, speaking in a sincere tone.

The Antarctic Immortal was furious. How could he forgive Xiao Hei when he was being trampled on in public by the furry creature he despised the most?

"Hmph, a beast is a beast! I really don't know why my senior brother took in such a thing as you; you've utterly defiled Kunlun Mountain!"

"Fellow Daoist of Antarctica, how dare you insult me? Do you intend to blame even my master?"

Upon hearing the name Taibai, the Old Man of the South Pole trembled involuntarily.

"Hmph, I merely look down on you..."

Before the Old Man of the South Pole could finish speaking, Xiao Hei had already grabbed his collar, and then raised his other hand, slapping him across the face repeatedly.

Pop, pop, pop.

Everyone present held their breath, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.

Even though Xiao Hei had reduced its strength, blood still trickled from the corner of the Antarctic Immortal's mouth.

"Your language is foul; you deserve a beating. If I hear you use such vulgar language again, I will show no mercy!"

The Old Man of the South Pole had never suffered such humiliation. He was always proud and arrogant, and he would never let this public humiliation go unpunished.

He stepped back, formed a hand seal, and the Jade Purity Divine Thunder crashed down.

Boom!

When the smoke and dust cleared, Xiao Hei was still standing in the same spot.

Apart from the ground being charred black, he was completely unharmed.

"Hahaha, well done, Fellow Daoist Xiao Hei! It's long overdue to teach these Chan Sect members a lesson!"

"Indeed! Fellow Daoist, your methods are excellent!"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Hei, why don't you just pull out his tongue too!"

……

The members of the Jie Sect watched with great pleasure, and they all started making a fuss, completely disregarding the consequences.

Xiao Hei, however, was not confused. Taibai had previously instructed that punishment should not be limited to only one sect, otherwise it would be suspected of favoritism.

"Do you all think you're completely innocent?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hei suddenly made a move, throwing Qiu Shou Xian and Jin Guangxian into the air.

Immediately afterwards, two bolts of lightning descended from the sky and struck the two men directly.

However, Xiao Hei was careful to control his strength, and Lei Wei's slaps were much gentler than the previous ones.

"From now on, whoever dares to cause trouble in the Kunlun Mountains will be punished by these three!"

After saying that, Xiao Hei turned around and went back to Taibai Palace to report.

At this moment, however, Venus was already in the Taiqing Palace.

The Three Pure Ones have informed him of the plan to separate the family, and now they are waiting for him to choose which Taoist temple he wishes to go to for cultivation.

Looking at the faint expectation in the eyes of his three masters, Taibai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Choosing either one will displease the other two. In this situation, the best course of action is to choose neither.

Fortunately, he had already occupied Wuyi Mountain as his Taoist temple, otherwise he would have been homeless this time.

Taibai lifted his robe and knelt down, solemnly performing the three kneelings and nine kowtows ceremony before the Three Pure Ones.

"Now that I have reached the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, I should leave the mountain and establish my own Daoist temple to promote the prestige of the Three Pure Ones lineage."

"I humbly request that the three teachers have mercy and grant me a place to temporarily reside beside your temples."

In this way, when disciples miss their teacher in the future, they will have a place to stay when they return to visit.

Li Bai's words were impeccable, clearly stating his intention to establish a Buddhist center in Wuyi Mountain while subtly expressing his reluctance to part with his three teachers.

Even the Three Pure Ones could not find a single fault in it.

But that wasn't all. Taibai took out three storage bags from his sleeve, which contained half of the rare and precious materials obtained from the Demon Court's treasury.

"These are just a few small gifts; I humbly request that the three teachers accept them. They may be given to the junior disciples for their future cultivation."

As for the other half, I will consider it a parting gift to my fellow disciples.

After saying this, Taibai gently pushed the three storage bags forward and bowed down again.

Before the Three Pure Ones could stop him, he had already gotten up and slowly left Taiqing Palace.

The departing figure caught the eyes of the Three Pure Ones; the slight flutter of his robes revealed a hint of solitude.
