After the Taoist Taiqing intervened, Yuanshi and Tongtian tacitly stopped fighting, showing them great respect.
Yuanshi Daoist put away the auspicious cloud and the Pangu Banner.
Tongtian also put away the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
The Taiji diagram suppressed the earth, fire, water, and wind, and put away the rampant sword energy before gracefully falling into the palm of the Taiqing Daoist.
Next, with the mediation of the Taoist Master Taiqing, the two brothers managed to get through this ordeal.
Hu Le and Zhunti Daoist finally approached, and the group greeted each other and exchanged a few polite words.
"Primordial True Man, I believe I have never offended you in any way. Why are you making trouble for me today?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Hu Le suddenly glanced at Yuanshi Daoren and asked softly.
The Taoist Primordial said indifferently, "This is a strategic plan of the Taoist Council, and we have no choice but to do it."
He will only admit defeat, but will never apologize.
Hu Le nodded slightly upon hearing this: "I see."
He gave a curt reply, then thought to himself, "Then it will be my own choice to hinder your lineage among the humans in the future. I hope you can understand..."
Although Yuanshi Daoist did not know what Hu Le was thinking at this moment, he was clear that he had offended Hu Le this time.
But he didn't care, because although Hu Le was Pangu, his cultivation level was far inferior to his, and he was not qualified to have an equal dialogue with him.
Perhaps in the future, when Hu Le is able to fully unleash nine Dao Fruits and launch an attack towards the Primordial Chaos Realm, he will be worthy of being looked at seriously.
Hu Le originally believed that he was qualified to become a top chess player in the prehistoric world, both in terms of status and strength.
However, it is clear that this is only what he thinks.
In the eyes of the Primordial Daoist, he was not...
Moreover, even if his cultivation level catches up with that of Yuanshi Daoren, Yuanshi Daoren will not have any scruples in his actions.
Apart from Hongjun Laozu at this time, Yuanshi has nothing to fear from anyone.
Even with the Taoist Master Taiqing, he only felt respect.
As for fear, there was none at all.
After all, Taiqing Daoist was only born a little earlier than him. Apart from that, they were both transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, and he didn't feel that he was inferior to Taiqing Daoist in any way...
Just like Tongtian Daoren, who has never been afraid of Yuanshi Daoren.
The Taoist Master Taiqing is only nominally the head of the Three Pure Ones. The other two acknowledge him as their elder brother only because he was born earlier and holds the power of the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth...
Seeing that Yuanshi Daoren's expression was indifferent, Hu Le didn't bother to say anything more to him. Instead, he bowed to Tongtian Daoren and said, "I must thank you, Master, this time."
Tongtian Daoren and Yuanshi Daoren fought fiercely and neither suffered a loss. At this moment, Tongtian Daoren felt quite pleased and was in a very good mood.
He smiled and nodded to Hu Le, "We are all of the true lineage of Pangu, so why be so polite? Besides, I really can't stand some people bullying the weak."
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Yuanshi Daoren, a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Clearly, although Taiqing Daoist's arrival stopped the two from fighting, Tongtian Daoist was not convinced.
Yuanshi Daoren pretended not to see it, but in his heart he grew increasingly displeased with Tongtian Daoren.
In his view, even if Hu Le was qualified to be called the true descendant of Pangu, his stance was completely different from that of the Three Pure Ones.
As disciples of the Xuanmen sect, the Three Pure Ones should prioritize the Xuanmen sect.
Although Hu Le cultivated the physical body of Pangu, he was a disciple of Taiyi and had a long-standing grudge against their Xuanmen sect.
Not to mention that before Taiyi and his wife perished, they used a ruthless move that directly damaged Hongjun Laozu's physical body, sending him back into the Heavenly Dao, where he has not yet fully recovered.
If it weren't for the couple's actions, Hongjun, as the first Primordial Saint, would have already brought the entire Xuanmen to oppress the Primordial World.
Therefore, even without Dijiang and the others' promises, what's wrong with him teaching Hu Le a lesson?
Moreover, he didn't directly attack Hu Le himself, which was already out of consideration for his status and unwilling to bully the weak, and also out of consideration for their shared lineage as Pangu, showing particular restraint...
After exchanging pleasantries, Yuanshi Daoren and Taiqing Daoren did not linger. After apologizing, Yuanshi summoned the Qilin (a mythical creature), mounted it, and rode away with Taiqing Daoren.
However, before leaving, Yuanshi Daoist glanced at Hu Le with an inscrutable look in his eyes. It was hard to tell if it was just my imagination, but his eyes seemed to be full of warning.
Hu Le, however, was unconvinced; how could the Primordial Daoist frighten him?
Since the Primordial Daoist dared to trip him up, then he shouldn't blame him for retaliating in kind.
Even if he couldn't openly expel the Jade Void Palace lineage from the human race, he would still order people to create some obstacles in the process of spreading the teachings of the Jade Void Palace.
Otherwise, people would really think he's easy to bully...
Tongtian and Zhunti Daoist did not linger. After exchanging greetings, they each returned to their own Daoist temples.
...
Taiqing Daoist and Yuanshi left the starry sky.
Yuanshi glanced back at the depths of the starry sky, then turned to Taiqing Daoist and said, "Senior Brother, Tongtian has really gone too far."
Why am I doing this?
Wasn't it all for the sake of my Xuanmen? Yet Tongtian insisted on causing trouble for me, showing no regard for his elder brother at all.
You should have helped me teach that bastard Tongtian a lesson just now.
That way, he won't become even more disrespectful to his two elder brothers in the future.
Upon hearing this, Taiqing Daoist glanced at Yuanshi Daoist indifferently, completely ignoring Yuanshi Daoist's complaints.
Was Yuanshi's descent from the mountain for the sake of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)?
Maybe a little.
But it's probably mostly for the sake of his Jade Void Palace lineage, so why make it sound so grand?
However, he did not expose Yuanshi Daoren's thoughts.
He simply said, "Tongtian may have his own thoughts. Why should we be too harsh on him? Besides, you are the elder brother, can't you be a little more accommodating to him?"
Yuanshi Daoist scoffed, "When has he ever treated you and me as elder brothers? Besides, he has repeatedly provoked me, and I haven't retaliated against him. Isn't that enough forbearance?"
He then sighed, "I don't know when he started to harbor such resentment towards me, his older brother."
"Alas! The reason your relationship has deteriorated to this point is mostly due to the conflicting principles you uphold, and perhaps also because of the affairs of your disciples?"
When it came to his disciples, Yuanshi Daoren was also helpless.
While both are involved in spreading the Dao, the Jade Void Palace's influence among humans has never been as great as that of the Biyou Palace, and this gap continues to widen.
He was well aware of the reasons behind it; Biyou Palace was only able to flourish and bear fruit everywhere because of its large number of disciples and followers.
In terms of manpower, Yuxu Palace is far inferior to Biyou Palace.
At this time, he only had a dozen or so true disciples under his tutelage, and the remaining guest disciples and nominal disciples combined probably numbered less than a hundred.
It's not that no one is willing to become his disciple, but rather that indiscriminately accepting disciples regardless of their background simply doesn't align with his principles...
