Chapter 173 Each Holds Their Own Account
"Moreover, Second Brother's words are full of errors," Tongtian said, looking at Yuanshi.
"When a person travels through the primordial world, their achievements and accomplishments do not depend on their background or cultivation level, but on their character and virtue. Even if all the disciples they take in have excellent backgrounds, if they are not properly disciplined, they may cause chaos in the primordial world in the future, and the harm they cause will be even greater than that caused by those with inferior backgrounds!" Tongtian looked at Yuanshi and continued to refute.
For a moment, Yuanshi was speechless, stunned by Tongtian's "sophistry".
Laozi looked at Yuanshi and Tongtian, who each held their own opinion and neither was willing to back down, and his head began to ache.
He wanted to persuade them, but he couldn't. In the primordial world, the Great Dao was everything. He could reconcile the conflict between the two, but how could he persuade them if it involved a struggle over the Great Dao?
As the head of the Three Pure Ones and the elder brother of the two, Laozi had long seen that the Great Dao cultivated by Yuanshi and Tongtian were absolutely different, even opposite, two Great Daos. Moreover, he could see that the dispute between Yuanshi and Tongtian was by no means a good thing, but he could never do it to deny the Dao held by one of them in order to resolve this dispute.
"You, I am your second elder brother, how can you be so unreasonable and disrespectful to your elder brother?" Yuanshi looked at Tongtian and continued.
Upon hearing this, Tongtian felt even more frustrated as he saw his two brothers denying him without offering any explanation. He felt that Yuanshi could not understand him. As a burst of calamity energy surged, his Dharma Eyes were filled with green smoke, and a surge of anger immediately rose in his heart. His words were no longer as polite as before.
"The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine. The Heavenly Dao is inherently incomplete, so how could the principles of the world be so simple?"
If only those with the best pedestal are qualified to receive it, then why did the Father God need to evolve all the myriad spirits of the primordial world?
The Great Way is boundless, so how can it be divided into high and low? Second brother, how can you be so confused? You have always taken it upon yourself to expound the Tao and the heavens, but it is clearly you who have gone astray. How can you insist on using seniority to suppress me?
"Even if you can suppress me, can you also suppress the Heavenly Dao, the Great Dao, and the Truth?" Tongtian looked at Yuanshi and said angrily.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Tongtian regretted them. The accumulated calamity, anger, and countless years of subtle accumulation had led him to say something that was somewhat excessive.
But at this moment, it is impossible for Tongtian to deny his own Dao and apologize to Yuanshi. Not to mention that Yuanshi, who failed to obtain the Pangu Banner for various reasons and whose cultivation is much weaker than Tongtian's at the same time, even in the original prehistoric world when Yuanshi and Tongtian's cultivation were roughly equal, or even when Yuanshi was slightly stronger than Tongtian, Tongtian would still not be able to do it.
"You, you!" Upon hearing this, Yuanshi was completely enraged by Tongtian. How could he, who was already very sensitive about his reputation, tolerate being so offended and questioned by his third brother?
Moreover, despite his good intentions, he was met with such cold words and harsh treatment. At this moment, Yuan Shi felt utterly disheartened.
It should be understood that few people are willing to point out the errors in someone's path of cultivation, because doing so does not benefit them and is likely to offend others. Most of the great supernatural beings in the primordial world are not so magnanimous when their peers point out the errors in their path of cultivation.
A person's path to enlightenment, especially a great master who has cultivated to the quasi-saint realm, is characterized by unwavering faith. Even when a sage is expounding the Dao, they only fill in the gaps and do not change their faith. Therefore, such behavior is an act that is extremely easy to offend people.
If it weren't for the bond forged over countless years, how could Yuanshi have risked offending Tongtian by directly telling him everything? How could Tongtian not understand his painstaking efforts?
Not only did he not understand, but he also received a lot of resentment in return. How could Yuanshi not be heartbroken!
"Enough!" Lao Tzu's voice was filled with anger, which startled Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, who were arguing, and they both calmed down.
"Absurd, utterly absurd! The three thousand great paths lead to the same destination. What are you trying to do?"
"Are you two going to set up battle formations and have a fight to determine who is superior in the Great Dao? That's utterly absurd!" Lao Tzu slammed his cane down and roared, "Where is the true spirit and bearing of Pangu in you two now?!"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian and Yuanshi fell silent and began to ponder. As the two younger brothers, they still held Laozi, whose cultivation was far superior to theirs, and who had been the leader of the Three Pure Ones for countless years, in great awe.
"What you say is very true, elder brother. I acted impulsively and my words were quite blunt. I apologize to my second brother." Tongtian looked at Yuanshi and bowed to apologize.
Yuanshi snorted coldly and did not reply.
Quite straightforward?
That means he was wrong. He meant well and tried to correct his third brother's mistakes, but in the end, it was his fault.
"You two are truly disappointing. What is the current state of the primordial world? Countless eyes are watching us from behind, and even more—"
"I fear that he is already plotting how to completely devour us." Laozi looked at Yuanshi and Tongtian before him and continued.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian's expressions changed. They naturally knew who Laozi was referring to: Styx!
"Brother, this—" Yuanshi was deeply moved upon hearing this, after all, for Yuanshi, no one was more hateful than the Styx.
"It is formed from the essence of Pangu's blood and can control the power of chaos. It has plotted for countless eons and schemed against us several times to seize our fortune. Now it has already attained sainthood. We all know the power of a saint. How could it give up so easily?"
"Now that we have a powerful enemy outside, are you going to turn against yourselves and cause trouble within your own walls?" Lao Tzu continued.
Over countless years, there has been ample evidence to prove that the Styx River was formed from the essence of Pangu. This evidence includes its divine body capable of controlling chaos, its destiny capable of bearing Pangu's fortune, and the Primordial Measuring Ruler in its hand.
Since both were formed from the merits of the creation of the world, it makes no sense that the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Heaven and Earth fell into the hands of Pangu's descendants, while the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler did not.
Styx is an opponent many times more terrifying than the Witch Clan. No, the Witch Clan is actually no match for the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones' only real opponent is Styx!
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's resentment towards Tongtian for his angry rebuke had largely dissipated.
The Styx River is like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Three Pure Ones. For the Three Pure Ones, the most urgent task is to first attain sainthood and protect themselves. At the very least, they need to have the right to mention the name of the Styx River without having to worry about it!
Becoming a saint would be enough!
Once they achieve sainthood, everything will be alright.
"In that case, we should not delay. We should immediately establish a religion in order to achieve sainthood!" Yuanshi looked at Laozi and Tongtian in front of him and continued.
Every moment of delay carries a risk. As for the third brother's deviation from the right path, we can only correct it another day.
