Tongtian Daoren and his disciples traveled through the prehistoric world, searching for a suitable immortal mountain and blessed land to establish a new Daoist temple.
However, after searching high and low, the blessed lands they found were either unsuitable or already occupied.
Finally, the group crossed countless mountains and rivers and arrived at the east coast.
Seeing the vast expanse of blue water stretching to the horizon, with countless birds rising and falling, Daoist Shangqing felt a stirring in his heart. He glanced back at his disciples who were following him and made a decision.
"Teacher, I see that the East Sea is brimming with auspicious energy and innate spiritual energy; it is truly a wondrous place. Why don't we establish our Daoist temple on the sea?"
Seeing that Shangqing Tongtian Daoist was standing silently on the sea, Wudang Shengmu stepped forward and offered a suggestion.
"Teacher, what Senior Sister said makes sense. Please consider it."
"That's right, I agree with Senior Sister's opinion."
"There are countless fairy mountains on the sea; we should be able to find a suitable place for cultivation."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the other disciples immediately voiced their agreement.
Biyou Palace has many disciples, and the East Sea is vast with countless immortal islands, making it a perfect place for each of them to establish their own dojos...
Daoist Duobao initially agreed, but then he suddenly remembered Penglai Immortal Island and frowned slightly. He stepped forward and said, "Teacher, although the East Sea is not bad, the Dongxuan Emperor once established a Daoist temple here and absorbed all the fortune of the East Sea."
If we were to establish a temple here, we fear we would offend him!
Upon hearing this, Tongtian Daoren's brows began to furrow.
"Senior Brother, you are mistaken. The East Sea is so vast, how can it be allowed to be enjoyed by the Dongxuan Emperor alone? What business is it of his if we establish a Taoist temple here..." Wuyun Xian, one of the seven attendants of Tongtian Daoren, stepped forward to refute.
“That’s right. The entire prehistoric world was created by my master, and the world belongs to my master. It’s just that we’re occupying a region of the East Sea. What’s wrong with that?”
“What this junior brother says is quite right. Although the Dongxuan Emperor is the ruler of the Heavenly Court and governs the heavens and the earth, how could he possibly govern my Biyou Palace lineage?”
As soon as Wu Yunxian voiced her opposition, the other disciples also stood up to echo her sentiments.
To be honest, in the past, Xuanmen disciples might have had some apprehension and fear of the Heavenly Court.
However, after Hongjun Laozu attained enlightenment and Taiyi and his wife perished, they lost much of their reverence for the Heavenly Court.
Later, when the Xuanmen sect launched a large-scale invasion of the human race to spread their teachings, wantonly plundering the human race's fortune, merits, and even incense offerings and divine power, the Heavenly Emperor, the supreme ruler of the human race, hid away and remained silent.
These Xuanmen disciples had completely lost all remaining reservations about the Heavenly Court and even about Hu Le, the Supreme Being.
Some disciples have even begun to show extreme disdain for this Heavenly Emperor…
When Daoist Duobao saw that Wuyunxian and the others were actually going against him, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. These guys, relying on their teacher's favor, didn't take him, their senior brother, seriously at all.
It seems we need to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson and let them know what respect for elders and juniors means.
As for the Taoist Master Tongtian, he silently began to calculate the secrets of heaven.
After a short while, Tongtian Daoren smiled slightly, told his disciples to be quiet, and did not say whether he agreed or disagreed. Instead, he urged Kui Niu to go straight into the East Sea.
The group rode on auspicious clouds, traversing the East Sea, and arrived at the outskirts of Penglai Immortal Island. Led by the Tongtian Daoist, the immortals pressed down on the cloud light.
Suddenly, a bell rang out from within the island, and then the great formation on the island opened its gates, and two boys, dressed in green and red, walked out from the island.
They approached the Taoist Master Tongtian, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Master Pangu Shangqing Zhenren. Please come in, sir."
Tongtian Daoist nodded slightly, then turned and instructed, "You all wait here. Allow me to go and pay my respects to the Dongxuan Emperor first."
"yes."
Daoist Duobao answered on behalf of his disciples.
Tongtian Daoren then got up and dismounted from the ox's back, following the two boys towards the island.
"Hmph! That Dongxuan Emperor has quite the airs. My master came here, yet he didn't come out to greet him personally, only sending two attendants." A disciple of Biyou Palace muttered under his breath.
"Keep quiet."
Daoist Duobao turned around and glared fiercely at the person who had spoken...
When Tongtian Daoren arrived on the island, he was greeted by a landscape of verdant peaks, serene vegetation, and ethereal purple light drifting across the sky. Auspicious light and auspicious energy flowed through the mountains, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
The three of them rode on auspicious clouds to the center of the island, where Hu Le was standing smiling outside the palace...
As for why Hu Le didn't cultivate in the Heavenly Palace but appeared here, the reason is quite simple.
It turned out that he was handling affairs in the Heavenly Court when, on a sudden impulse, he sensed that his future destiny was slipping away. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that his fortune was actually being ruined in the East Sea.
He was slightly surprised. With such a treasure as the Chaos Bell suppressing him, his fortune should be as stable as Mount Tai.
So he silently began to calculate the secrets of heaven and learned the cause and effect.
Therefore, they arrived at Penglai Island a little earlier to await the arrival of the Tongtian Daoist.
...
"I am deeply sorry that I have not been able to greet you properly in person!"
Seeing that the Taoist Master Tongtian had stopped the auspicious cloud not far away, Hu Le hurried a few steps forward, bowed slightly, and greeted him.
Tongtian Daoist laughed heartily, "Not at all, not at all, young friend, there's no need for that. It was my presumption to come."
"Please, Master, come with me to the hall for a discussion."
Hu Le gestured for him to proceed.
Tongtian Daoren stepped forward with a smile, and the two walked side by side into Lingyun Palace.
The two sides took their seats as host and guest, and a boy brought fresh fruit and placed it in front of Tongtian Daoren.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tongtian Daoren finally revealed his purpose: "This humble Daoist wishes to establish a Daoist temple in the East Sea and relocate Biyou Palace here. I wonder if you, young friend, would be willing to become my neighbor?"
"This... Senior, your Kunlun Immortal Mountain is the ancestor of all spiritual veins in the world and the origin of the spiritual energy of the Xuanmen. That is the most suitable place for you to cultivate in seclusion. How could you possibly look down on this poor and remote place in the East Sea?"
Hu Le didn't say whether he agreed or not, but instead asked in return with a smile.
Tongtian Daoren naturally wouldn't reveal what happened in Kunlun.
After all, it's not a good thing for the Three Pure Ones brothers to fight amongst themselves; it would only make them a laughingstock.
"Young friend, you are quite the joker. The East Sea is the head of the four seas and the source of all the waters in the world, yet you call it a remote and desolate place."
Tongtian Daoist smiled and shook his head, "I know that if my Biyou Palace were to open a Daoist temple in the East Sea, it would inevitably dilute your fortune. However, rest assured, I will not take advantage of you for nothing. I will repay you handsomely in the future."
Since everyone is of the same lineage as Pangu, and given Tongtian Daoren's status and character, he naturally wouldn't forcibly seize Hu Le's fortune.
"Oh? What can I do for you, senior?" Hu Le asked with great interest.
Although he possessed the entire fortune of the East Sea, this fortune was less than half of his total fortune. If the Tongtian Daoist offered suitable conditions, he might be willing to give it up...
