Chapter 168

The two fell silent.

You even went out of your way to read Honghuang-flow novels?

Are you that idle or that bored? With that time, couldn't you cultivate instead? Why read novels? Can novels make one stronger?

"....."

At least it concerns our Honghuang; do none of you read it? Shangqing was also left speechless.

"According to records in Honghuang-flow novels, in the original trajectory, we were to establish the Human, Chan, and Jie teachings to attain Sainthood through the merit of founding a sect."

"That person said that as long as one contributes to Honghuang, rewards can be exchanged. If we establish a sect, isn't that a merit of teaching?"

Seeing this, Shangqing stopped being mysterious and simply spoke it out.

"...."

Taqing and Yuqing opened their mouths.

Can reading novels really make people stronger?

"Was our original future to attain Sainthood by establishing a sect?"

Yuqing murmured to himself.

"Yes, we not only attained Sainthood by establishing a sect, but according to the original future, Eldest Brother and Second Brother, you would also backstab me, and eventually we Three Pure Ones would part ways."

"The reason is that Second Brother, you insisted on orthodoxy and disliked the sect I established where ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, so you allied with Eldest Brother and outsiders to try to kill me together."

Shangqing nodded and said.

"...."

Yuqing's expression froze.

"...."

Taqing's expression froze.

Both of their heads almost buzzed.

"Third Brother, you must be thinking..."

His face tightened; Yuqing hurriedly tried to explain, but Shangqing interrupted: "Eldest Brother, I understand; no need to explain. That was only the original trajectory, not the present."

"Moreover, novels are ultimately just novels; reading them is enough. Why take them seriously? Taking them seriously is what leads to qi deviation."

He was straightforward, and indeed thought this way.

The future?

The future has already changed!

What is there to worry about? There is no necessity or meaning.

Instead of thinking so much, it is better to consider how to unite, after all, the present is not the past. Moreover, novels are ultimately just novels and cannot represent reality.

"Excellent."

Hearing this, Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Alright, let's talk about serious matters."

"Establishing the three teachings? I have some ideas. Third Brother, do you have any Honghuang-type novels now? Second Brother and I will read them first to understand, and then we will discuss in detail."

Taqing said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"I have already impressed the novels into a mark; Eldest and Second Brothers, simply scan with your Primordial Spirit."

Shangqing took out a jade slip and said.

Seeing this, the two released their immortal thoughts to sweep over; with a single thought, a vast amount of text instantly appeared in their minds.

With Taqing and Yuqing's cultivation base in the Quasi-Saint Realm, a few million words of content naturally required only a few short seconds to digest completely.

"So that's how it is......"

Taqing murmured, thinking of the content of the Honghuang novels, he was somewhat moved; was the future so tragic? Fortunately, everything has already changed.

"Eldest Brother, Third Brother, what do you plan to do about attaining Sainthood?"

Yuqing pondered briefly and spoke hesitantly.

"Second Brother, do you still wish to attain Sainthood? If there is a Gao Zhilu, why be restricted by Honghuang? Becoming a Honghuang Saint means being bound by Honghuang."

Shangqing asked in confusion.

"Eldest Brother, what about you?"

Yuqing looked at Taqing and said.

"Don't you already have the answer?"

Taqing stroked his beard and smiled.

"Good."

Yuqing was slightly stunned, then his eyes became firm; he smiled and replied.

"Eldest and Second Brothers, what are you talking about? Do your words mean you want to attain Sainthood or not?"

Shangqing said with a blank expression.

"Third Brother, you are still too young. With your wisdom, you should not be unable to figure it out. Go and think carefully."

Yuqing spoke with a smile on his face and a serious tone.

"Think carefully...."

Chanting once, Shangqing began to ponder carefully.

After all, he was the youngest of the Three Pure Ones; being slightly less mature than Yuqing and Taqing is normal, but to call Shangqing a Bai Chi is impossible; his sword heart was clear and bright, and he was fearless, thus he was actually very wise.
