Laozi looked at the scene and continued, "In my view, our beliefs within the Sanqing have grown too divergent. We might as well separate now, each establishing our own Daoist sanctuary and minding our own affairs. That way, we can avoid squabbling over such trivial matters in the future." A trace of helplessness and determination lingered in his tone, as if this were the only way to resolve the problem.
Master Tongtian's eyes brightened, and he spoke first: "Good, excellent! I have long wished to find a tranquil place to properly develop Jiejiao. I hear that Golden Turtle Island in the East Sea is rich in spiritual energy and pleasant in scenery; I shall go there to establish my sanctuary." His voice was filled with anticipation and excitement, as though he could already envision Jiejiao's flourishing development on Golden Turtle Island.
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Since that is the case, I shall remain here on Kunlun Mountain. The Yuxu Palace is, after all, the foundational root of my Chanjiao." A hint of firmness carried through his tone, and his gaze seemed to speak of a deep emotional attachment to Yuxu Palace.
