"Disciples of the Three Pure Ones? How are they different from the people of the Heavenly Court?"
Song Lin was puzzled.
"Of course, there's a difference. The Three Pure Ones came before the Jade Emperor. We only serve the Three Pure Ones, not the Jade Emperor."
The Three Pure Ones precede, while the Jade Emperor follows.
Currently, the Three Pure Ones within the Jade Emperor's divine system are subordinate to the Jade Emperor. Although their status is revered, they lack incense offerings.
There are even some who follow the Three Pure Ones' orthodoxy that only obey the Jade Emperor's commands.
After all, the Jade Emperor is recognized as the orthodox ruler. The Three Pure Ones haven't appeared in countless years—not even in the form of an avatar.
Those like Golden Cauldron are genuine disciples of the Three Pure Ones, while the Jade Emperor attempts to subdue them, hence causing conflict between the two factions.
"I see. So there's such a backstory behind this."
