Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 31 031 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

"As early as when I joined the Jie Sect, my master instructed that those who joined the Jie Sect should abide by its rules. Those who violated them would be expelled from the Jie Sect at best, and would die or be destroyed at worst."

"However, there are some people who disregard the rules and regulations of our Jie Sect."

"You indiscriminately kill innocent people, eat their flesh and blood, devour their inner cores, ruin the reputation of my Jie Sect, and destroy its fortune. Even the ancient demonic cultivators are not one ten-thousandth as good as you."

"How are you any different from those ancient ferocious beasts?"

Wei Guang's words were filled with murderous intent, almost tangible. With the enhancement of the sword's laws, his cold gaze made Chang Er and the others dare not meet his eyes.

"Senior Brother, we know we were wrong."

Led by Chang Er, the disciples who had made mistakes bowed and admitted their wrongdoings, but none of them dared to ask Wei Guang to be lenient with them.

Because that would only make people think they were afraid of dying and that's why they admitted their mistakes.

At this point, we must have the right attitude; otherwise, what little hope we have to begin with may end up with absolutely nothing.

"Okay, it's good that you admit your mistake."

A smile appeared on Wei Guang's face, giving the impression that he had forgiven everyone. This made Chang Er and the others overjoyed, thinking to themselves that the law does indeed apply to everyone.

With over five thousand people, more than half of the disciples of the Jie Sect, how could Wei Guang possibly bring himself to kill them?

Even if Wei Guang were to do it, his master would probably not agree. Otherwise, the fortune of the Jie Sect would be severely damaged, since this would go against the teachings of the Jie Sect.

If education is for all, then there is no distinction between good and evil.

However, Wei Guang's next move terrified Chang Er and the others.

Wei Guang raised his right hand high, palm facing upwards, in a claw-like shape. Countless starlight, drawn by him, came from the sky, each ray of starlight like a sharp sword.

That unparalleled and sharp sword intent was so dazzling that it was blinding to look directly at.

At this moment, Wei Guang spoke up: "Since you know your mistakes, then today I will enforce the law on your behalf. Those who betray you will be executed. I hope that the other junior brothers and sisters will take this as a warning."

"Senior Brother..."

Chang Er and the others wanted to plead for them, but Wei Guang did not give them the chance. As the last word fell, Wei Guang pressed his right hand down sharply.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Countless starlight transformed into sharp swords, all attacking Chang Er and his companions.

The cultivation of Chang Er and the others had long been sealed, so even if they wanted to escape or resist, they were powerless. Moreover, even if they still had their cultivation, how could they be a match for Wei Guang?

At most, it's just that it can't be solved all at once.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Sword energies formed from starlight pierced through the heads of Chang Er and the others without hindrance, and then exited through their lower bodies.

What appeared to be just a penetrating wound was actually imbued with the true meaning of the Three Lights Annihilation in every sword strike. The bodies, primordial spirits, and true souls of Chang Er and the others were gradually obliterated.

More than 5,000 people, in good health, ended up leaving nothing behind, not even their primordial spirit and true soul.

It can be said that he truly died and his spiritual essence vanished.

This scene sent chills down the spines of the other disciples, and they looked at Wei Guang with renewed fear, even Zhao Gongming and Duobao were no exception.

With Chang Er and the others' magical powers sealed, it wouldn't be difficult to kill them all at once; any one of Zhao Gongming's group could do it.

But to obliterate the physical body, the primordial spirit, and the true soul together, especially more than five thousand people, was something Zhao Gongming and his group could not accomplish.

Even Duobao, who has the highest cultivation level, cannot do it.

The physical body is easily destroyed, the primordial spirit is difficult to extinguish, and the true spirit is even more difficult to destroy. Even one-on-one battles require some effort, let alone more than five thousand people together.

Only then did they truly witness the terrifying power of this senior disciple.

Biyou Palace.

Tongtian opened his eyes, a hint of doubt in them.

He had thought that this act of making an example of someone would shake the fortunes of the Jie Sect, since this action was indeed contrary to their principles. However, the fact is that their fortunes have become even more stable.

The next second, he had a sudden realization: so that's how it is.

A sage is a state of attainment, while a Primordial Golden Immortal is a realm of enlightenment. A Primordial Golden Immortal is not a sage, but a sage who is a Primordial Golden Immortal is first a Heavenly Dao Sage and then a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Whether it's the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, or the Two Western Saints.

They all first attained the status of a sage, and then used that status as a medium to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and enter the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao is above their original Dao.

Furthermore, the fortune is also the fortune of the primordial world.

Those who are disliked by Heaven will naturally experience a decline in fortune, while those who are favored will have a flourishing fortune.

The actions of Chang'er and his ilk are condemned by Heaven; they possess no fortune, only misfortune. Their existence only diverts the fortune of the Jie Sect, bringing nothing of value.

If we eliminate them, the fortune of the Jie Sect will naturally become more stable.

Otherwise, Heaven will eventually settle accounts with the Jie Sect, and at that time, even if the leader of the Jie Sect is a saint, he will probably not be able to escape the calamity.

Upon understanding the cause and effect of this situation, Tongtian couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, through a series of unforeseen events, they survived a calamity.

With a gaze that pierced through the void, Tongtian looked at Wei Guang with even gentler eyes. He thought to himself, what kind of reward should he give this good disciple who helped the entire Jie Sect, and even himself, survive a calamity?

Tongtian thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Lingbao? This good disciple doesn't seem to lack any. Besides, Tongtian doesn't have any other decent spiritual treasures. He can't very well give him his Dao-proving treasure, the Qingping Sword, or the Zhuxian Sword Formation, can he?

It seems this matter needs to be carefully considered.

……

After killing Chang Er and his group, Wei Guang glanced at the remaining disciples of the Jie Sect: "I hope you will remember what happened today, or they will suffer the same fate as you."

"We will remember this forever."

Although Chang Er and the others didn't even leave behind their corpses, that's precisely why they are so memorable, and the disciples naturally dared not forget them.

"That's for the best, let's call it a day."

Having achieved his goal of making an example of them, Wei Guang naturally wouldn't spare them any longer.

Upon hearing this, the disciples gradually withdrew, but Wei Guang called out to Yu Yixian. At the same time, Zhao Gongming also did not leave, as if he had something to discuss with Wei Guang.

"Senior Brother." Yu Yixian approached.

Wei Guang took out the Qiankun Ruler and looked at Yu Yixian, saying, "This treasure contains Yin and Yang energies, and its innate restrictions are also related to the Yin and Yang principles. I'll lend it to you to study for a while, hoping you can break through to the Great Luo realm as soon as possible."

Zhao Gongming, who had not yet left, stared wide-eyed the moment he saw the Qiankun Ruler.

He had seen the Qiankun Ruler before, but he didn't feel anything unusual about it then. But now that he saw it again, Zhao Gongming inexplicably felt that this object was destined to be with him.

Moreover, this feeling was very strong, as if he would regret missing out on this treasure for the rest of his life.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Yu Yixian was overjoyed. He had been trapped at the Taiyi Perfection stage for nearly a thousand years, yet he was still unable to cross that threshold.

Now, just seeing the Qiankun Ruler gives him a sense of relaxation in his spiritual realm.
