Guang Chengzi, having traveled along the Qingqiu Mountains, had enjoyed countless scenic views. This Master Uncle Xuantian was indeed no ordinary person; this blessed mountain was likely no less impressive than Kunlun Mountain. The people he encountered in the mountains were all of considerable cultivation; he wondered if they were of Master Uncle's lineage. Upon reaching the center of the island, Guang Chengzi saw that the Dutian Palace was indeed grand and imposing yet exquisitely crafted. The hundred-zhang-high palace exuded a faint aura of majesty, instilling a natural sense of submission and a desire to prostrate oneself before it. He thought to himself that Master Uncle truly lived up to his reputation as an incarnation of the Great God Pangu; even just sensing his imposing aura was extraordinary.
Guang Chengzi entered the Hall of Harmony and saw Xuan Tian seated on a futon. Beside him stood three people: Hui Xin, Liao Zhen, and Cang Jie. Guang Chengzi immediately recognized that none of them possessed cultivation levels he could fathom, and a chill ran through him. He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Uncle. Our Grand Master, Laozi, and Master Yuanshi have extended a broad invitation to fellow Daoists of the Primordial World to a Dao discussion at our Kunlun Immortal Mountain. I have come on Master's orders to extend this invitation. We humbly request that Senior Uncle bring his distinguished disciples to Kunlun Mountain on the day of the discussion."
"Yes, I will go myself," Xuan Tian said, knowing that the great gods were probably eagerly awaiting the Kunlun Dao Discussion.
The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, filled with majestic peaks and deep valleys. Birds and beasts either hibernate or roam freely, their movements displaying profound cultivation. Since Yuanshi established his Daoist temple on the Kunlun Mountains and began expounding his great teachings, many beings have been fortunate enough to hear the sage's teachings. Although Yuanshi mostly relayed Hongjun's teachings, they were still quite exquisite. Many highly skilled individuals emerged, and those who were not demons were all taken in by the Jade Void Palace. The rest, those who were not successful, mostly sought refuge on Jin'ao Island in the East Sea. Tongtian and Yuanshi were not on good terms to begin with, and their rivalry intensified. Tongtian took in all those whom Yuanshi refused, and after one or two generations, including the tens of thousands of demons taken in when the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was destroyed, Tongtian's disciples now truly possessed the aura of ten thousand immortals paying homage.
This time, Xuan Tian brought Hui Xin and the other two along with his mount Ao Qin. They rode straight ahead and finally arrived at Kunlun Mountain.

Huixin and Liaozhen looked at Kunlun Mountain, their hearts involuntarily recalling the time when Xuantian took them as disciples. At that time, the Lich Kings were slaughtering humanity, and no great supernatural being in the primordial world was willing to help. Ultimately, when they were besieged by the demon race near Kunlun Mountain, they were rescued by Xuantian, who then killed the demon emperor, Emperor Jun. It was truly an earth-shattering battle. Thinking back to the primordial Lich Kings who roamed freely, no one dared to provoke them. Xuantian, before even becoming a saint, dared to kill the demon emperor; indeed, he possessed great courage and a grand gesture.
Back then, half of Kunlun Mountain was deliberately trampled down by Xuantian, but the spiritual veins were not damaged. Later, after Yuanshi took Tongtian and Laozi away, he spent a lot of effort to repair it.
Liaozhen suddenly asked, "Teacher, what kind of Daoist teachings are we discussing this time? Are they the same as what you usually teach?"
Xuan Tian chuckled and said, "Don't worry about anything during this discussion. Just watch and see what tricks they're up to. I'll test you when we get back!"
Before the Jade Void Palace, a cloud of mist swirled. Hongmeng and Nuwa, being such powerful beings, could immediately discern the mountain-protecting array. The array contained numerous restrictions, some visible and some hidden, yet it was undeniably a formidable formation. It was Yuanshi who had set up this grand array on the mountaintop out of a desire to show off. However, in Xuantian's eyes, the array was as good as nothing. If we were to talk about array masters, the only one in the entire prehistoric world who could compare to Xuantian was Hongjun. Xuantian possessed the memories of Pangu and recognized the Dutian Divine Fiend Array. He had also witnessed the Zhou Tian Star Array. Apart from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, which he had never seen before, there were no other major arrays in the prehistoric world that caught his eye.
Knowing what Yuanshi intended, he stood there, and after a while, the clouds and mist within the great formation parted, revealing a golden bridge stretching out from afar, leading directly to Xuantian and his disciples. A figure stood on the bridge, bowing respectfully from a distance, "Junior Yun Zhongzi has come to welcome Senior Uncle Xuantian on my master's orders."
Xuan Tian smiled. This Taoist was Yun Zhongzi, a true immortal of good fortune. He had heard in his previous life that this man was fond of refining magical treasures, especially imitating the magical artifacts of others. Xuan Tian looked at the golden bridge beneath his feet and laughed, "You made this golden bridge, didn't you? Not bad." As he passed Yun Zhongzi, Xuan Tian casually remarked.
This golden bridge was also a counterfeit magic weapon, crafted by Yun Zhongzi based on the golden bridge formed from Laozi's Taiji diagram. Although it couldn't compare to the genuine article, it still captured some of its essence, hence Xuantian's earlier praise. This delighted Yun Zhongzi, who, while repeatedly saying he dared not accept such praise, secretly resolved to work even harder to replicate magic weapons.
Xuantian and several disciples entered the main hall and found that the Three Pure Ones were all present. Upon seeing Xuantian enter, the Three Pure Ones all bowed in greeting. Laozi merely nodded without saying anything, and Xuantian ignored him. After exchanging greetings with Yuanshi and Tongtian, he took his seat in a corner of the hall. In the main hall, Laozi, being of the highest seniority, should have sat in the head seat, but since Xuantian was of equal seniority, Laozi sat on the left. Yuanshi, as the host, sat in two seats on the left, below Laozi. Tongtian, who had long been at odds with Yuanshi, led his disciples to sit on the right, below Xuantian.
Upon seeing Tongtian's behavior, Yuanshi was angered. He snorted coldly but remained silent. Laozi was also dissatisfied. He was, after all, one of the Three Pure Ones. What kind of behavior was Tongtian's? He was clearly going against him.
In truth, Tongtian didn't have many thoughts. The reason he sat below Xuantian was twofold. First, he disliked Yuanshi's appearance. Yuanshi and he were always at odds, their definitions of the Dao differing, practically antagonistic. He didn't want to be ranked below Yuanshi, so he sat two places below Xuantian to even things out. Second, Tongtian didn't think there was anything wrong with Xuantian. Laozi and Xuantian were at odds because Xuantian stole the Kongtong Seal that established the Human Emperor, and he resented Xuantian. Yuanshi disliked Xuantian being above him; he felt he already had Laozi, and adding Xuantian would make him unhappy. Tongtian, however, didn't see it that way. He had no interaction with Xuantian and no known animosity. Besides, Xuantian was also an incarnation of Pangu, and in Tongtian's mind, Xuantian should have been the senior disciple. It was simply that he was open-minded and straightforward.
