"However, as you know, with the Heavenly Dao in place, we cannot make any progress. After all, the existence of someone who is half-step into the eighth rank is far too dangerous for the world itself." Laozi was initially excited, but soon fell silent.
The Way of Heaven, this is the Way of Heaven. How to put it? The Way of Heaven's ideas are not wrong. From the perspective of all living beings, from the perspective of the Way of Heaven, it's best if beings at the half-step eighth level don't exist. Only in this way will the world be truly safe.
However, from a cultivator's perspective, if you prevent me from breaking through, then you are my greatest enemy! An enemy of the Dao!
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas, in the past, we were confined within our own world, never considering exploring the boundless chaos, like frogs at the bottom of a well. Only after meeting that Empress did we realize how powerful a half-step eighth-level being truly is. At least, I am no match for her."
As he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun subconsciously recalled how, not long ago, the Empress had easily defeated the Great Heavenly Venerable all by herself.
I remember that at that time, the Great Celestial Venerable had the Haotian Pagoda on his head, held the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword in his hand, and had the Haotian Mirror hanging on his chest, so he was well prepared.
As a result, the Great Celestial Venerable returned covered in wounds within an hour and is currently recuperating in the Jade Pool.
You must understand, that's the Great Celestial Venerable! The head of the Four Emperors, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, the undisputed Lord of All Immortals, the King of Gods. In terms of strength, if he doesn't reveal his trump cards, he's in no way inferior to me.
"Hehe, the Empress is strong, but she doesn't have an overwhelming advantage. As long as the three of us brothers work together, we can fight her. Besides, once the world opens up and the Heavenly Dao releases its suppression, which one of us can't break through?" Tongtian said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Laozi and Yuanshi nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Lin Yang was also observing the three of them. They were of different ages, each with their own distinct characteristics. These striking features immediately gave Lin Yang a clue as to their identities.
The Three Pure Ones!
The Three Pure Ones!
In this infinitely diverse world, the biggest boss in almost all Xianxia worlds is practically the leader of all immortals. No matter which world they exist in, they are always high above others.
Lin Yang was almost sick of hearing the legends about the three of them.
The one who spoke of Lao Tzu was this seemingly harmless old man with a white beard, white eyebrows, and white hair.
In some worlds, his name is Lao Jun, and he was also known as Taishang Daode Tianzun. Many myths and legends about him have been passed down to later generations.
Well, as for Yuanshi Tianzun, who is the middle-aged man in front of us, he looks very dignified and very particular about order.
This person is even more extraordinary. In many legends, he is confused with the Primordial Heavenly King. Those who don't know the story might even think that he was the one who created the world!
Moreover, in many legends, he is the true head of the Three Pure Ones and the true king of all immortals. Although he may not be Lao Tzu's match, he is far more impressive than Lao Tzu in terms of legends, or rather, in boasting.
What are the causes of all the effects? They bear the karma of the entire world, the reincarnation of the creator god, the head of the Three Pure Ones, and the leader of the immortals.
As for the young man, the one who looks somewhat carefree is the so-called Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. He's carrying a sword in his arms, and in terms of legends, he's probably the one with the fewest tales about him.
Lin Yang's purpose in this trip was also to test them. To probe the strength and hidden cards of the three. After all, the three had never made a move before.
"Drink up, let one breath transform into three pure things."
With a loud shout, three more identical figures appeared beside Ye Fan. Hmm, similar aura, similar strength.
These three are not simple avatars, but Dao bodies, each possessing 80% of the combat power of the original body. Moreover, they can simultaneously unleash different secret techniques. Combined with the original body, their combat power truly reaches a new level in a short period of time.
Seeing this, Fuxi smiled, somewhat surprised and taken aback, but not worried. You have your trump cards, and so do I.
"The Primordial Chaos Formation".
Fuxi's hands surged, and boundless magical power flowed into the Hetu and Luoshu. Centered on the dragon horse and the black tortoise, a grand array encompassing a small part of the universe appeared.
"The Primordial Chaos Formation, the Hetu Luoshu, and Fuxi—no matter how you look at it, Ye Fan doesn't seem like someone who can win. However, he probably won't lose either, so I'll go down into the fray."
As he spoke, Lin Yang approached the three members of the Sanqing trio—the old, the middle-aged, and the young. He made no attempt to conceal his strength, unleashing it directly to provoke the three opposite him.
"So powerful! I feel this person is about the same level as the Empress. So, he's another half-step eighth-level cultivator? Brother, I'll go up and give it a try first." With that, ignoring the two's reactions, Tongtian hugged the sword in his arms and rushed forward.
"I am the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable and the Master of Heaven. You may call me the Master of Heaven or the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable. As for the sword in my bosom, it is named Qingping and is my supreme treasure for attaining enlightenment. Please take it."
Before Lin Yang could reply, the Qingping Sword was drawn. A gust of wind arose from the tip of a blade of grass, and the moment the sword was drawn, a powerful aura of calamity spread out, filling the surrounding void.
The countless calamities immediately triggered a reaction in Lin Yang, and at the same time, he began to speculate about Tongtian's abilities.
"Does the symbol of the Three Pure Ones, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, represent the destruction of this world? Could it be that Yuanshi Tianzun symbolizes the beginning of creation, Taiqing Daode Tianzun symbolizes the evolution and existence of the world, and Shangqing Lingbao symbolizes the destruction of the world? Is the unity of the Three Pure Ones the evolutionary process of the world's birth, existence, and destruction?"
Although Lin Yang was slightly stronger than Tongtian, he dared not underestimate him in the slightest. As he spoke, he revealed a set of magical treasures.
They brought out all sorts of things, like the Jade Void Apricot Yellow Banner, the Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus. Of course, they were all acquired spiritual treasures.
Then, Lin Yang rolled up his sleeves, revealing two strong, muscular arms, with powerful biceps and triceps immediately standing out. Even the color of his skin had turned dark gray.
But it was this dark gray skin that made Tongtian's expression change drastically, and he became very alert.
"Unbreakable through countless eons, eternally immortal, indestructible, the Great Luo Dao Body?"
The so-called "Great Luo" is the name given to those at the half-step eighth level by the world Tongtian resides in. And Lin Yang's physical body at this moment, if calculated, is roughly at the peak it reached before Nuwa ascended to heaven after mending the sky. At least, that's what Tongtian believes.

"My Qingping Sword is specially designed to break through all protective supernatural powers and magical treasures in the world. Now, I would like to invite you, fellow Daoist, to take a look."
In a flash, Tongtian made his move. The sword strike was fast, but not impossible to dodge. However, Lin Yang didn't want to dodge; there was no need.
Instantly, a chill ran through his body, and then a sword pierced his skin. All his protective magic treasures—the Jade Void Apricot Yellow Banner, the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus—had become useless in that instant!
