Chapter 17 Planning to Leave
"Outrageous! How dare you utter such curses!" Di Jun stretched out his hand, wanting to slap Chang Hao so hard that he couldn't find his jaw and teeth. He was so lawless that even if Tai Yi stopped him, he still wanted to vent his anger first.
Chang Haotai moved his calf under the pond and slid backward leisurely. "What, you can't take it already?" Wouldn't you go crazy if the story of what happened later unfolded before your eyes?
"Heaven's will is above us, and good and evil in this primordial world will be rewarded accordingly. Birds, never be blinded by greed and let your minds go blank. Remember, retribution may come, but it's just a matter of time." Chang Hao's eyes were fixed on what was behind Di Jun, and he was mainly speaking to Tai Yi.
Di Jun turned around as if sensing something, and saw Taiyi walking over from a distance, holding something in his hand.
"Taiyi, what are you doing?" Dijun asked, knowing the answer already, as he looked at the Emperor Flowing Essence that Taiyi had brought.
"Big brother, this is the Emperor's Elixir that I specially went to Taiyin Star to exchange with the Taiyin sisters. I was planning to let Chang Hao try it..." Taiyi explained, but was interrupted by Dijun.
"Have you forgotten why we brought Chang Hao back?" Di Jun reached out and snatched Di Liujiang from him, making him furious that he still wanted to eat it.
"Oh, big brother, big brother..."
Di Jun walked very fast, pondering how to deal with Chang Hao as he went.
Taiyi sighed helplessly, "Did you upset him again?" These two are like enemies from a past life, always destined to meet, never having a peaceful day.
"Hmph... If you're not convinced, come and fight me. I'm waiting." Chang Hao was not afraid at all. Power was Chang Hao's courage. Feeling the source of energy filling his body, he wished he could absorb the sun and transform back into his original form.
However, reason prevailed and dispelled this tempting idea; the primordial world cannot exist without the sun.
Taiyi was unaware that he was almost homeless.
"Big brother's gone, do you want to come up and rest?" Taiyi reached out his hand, intending to pull Chang Hao out.
"No, no," Chang Hao stretched. "Your petty older brother would be furious if he knew you were two-faced."
Taiyi awkwardly touched the tip of his nose. "He's my older brother, I can't not help him."
"Emperor's Elixir, Big Brother forgot to search you," Taiyi said, taking out Emperor's Elixir to cover up his actions. "Here you go. The source of the sun is scorching, but Emperor's Elixir can gently soothe your meridians and help you break through to a higher realm."
Chang Hao took the Emperor's Elixir and asked cryptically, "Aren't you afraid that if I break through my cultivation level, I'll overturn the Sun Star?"
"Don't worry, the Sun Star is your home too. You can tear it down if you want." Anyway, your home is bare and desolate, with nothing at all. The Moon Star at least has the Guanghan Palace.
"What do you mean by that?" Chang Hao didn't understand what it meant that the Sun Star was also his.
"Didn't you notice?" Taiyi gathered a ball of solar true energy and placed it between himself and Chang Hao. "Use the Eye of True Spirit to see."
Taiyi discovered that when Chang Hao looked at the world, he was just looking; there was no spiritual energy gathering in his eyes.
Taiyi released his control over the ball of solar energy, and Chang Hao stared at it without blinking. He saw wisps of solar energy slowly approaching him, gradually entering his body, and spontaneously becoming part of his power.
The same applies to Taiyi.
“The Sun Star has accepted you; it is now your sanctuary,” Taiyi said slowly, seeing that Chang Hao was still oblivious.
Chang Hao remained silent, pondering to himself, "This is impossible. How could he be related to the sun? No matter how much I improve myself, fundamentally, I am still human."
"What is your true form? I didn't see any totem behind you." Taiyi's eyes were full of curiosity. Could it be similar to his, all golden, or like his elder brother, jet black with a golden glow? Or perhaps it was the color of jade like a jade rabbit?
Chang Hao smirked. His true form? He has that?
"No, I am a ray of light," Chang Hao said against his will. "I was born a ray of light."
“It’s alright if you don’t say anything,” Taiyi suddenly reached out and patted Chang Hao on the head, then suddenly said, “Big brother has gone to Taiyin Star.”
Chang Hao hadn't expected Taiyi to pull this stunt, and was caught off guard. He was momentarily stunned, his eyes clearly showing that Di Jun going to Taiyin Star had nothing to do with him.
Taiyi blinked so hard he almost cramped up. Chang Hao always looked so smart, could he be all bark and no bite?
Chang Hao suddenly realized, but he still wouldn't leave. He had to make Di Jun understand what it meant to invite a god but not to send him away.
With a sudden plunge, Chang Hao sank to the bottom of the pool, intending to use the Tai Run Pool to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm. One hundred and eighty-eight years—even one year less would be a loss for him.
Looking at the boiling Tai Run Pond, Tai Yi sighed deeply. He had a feeling that these two were going to cause quite a stir.
"Taiyi, did Changhao bully you because you were alone?" When Dijun returned, he saw the usually cheerful Taiyi wandering alone by the Tairun Pond with a furrowed brow, and immediately dismissed the thought.
Taiyi smiled wryly, "Big brother, what are you thinking about now?" Where did all this bitterness and resentment come from?
Di Jun peeked into Tai Run Pond and immediately gasped, "Tai Yi, look, what's going on here?"
Taiyi turned his head. "What's wrong?"
“The water level in Tai Run Pond has dropped; it’s usually overflowing.” Di Jun’s forehead veins throbbed as he realized a possibility and immediately jumped up and down, “Chang Hao, get out here!”
Chang Hao rolled his eyes at the bottom of the pool. Why should he get out? This pool was his paradise.
"Brother, what are you doing? You were the one who let us in, and now you're going back on your word." Taiyi didn't say something: a bird shouldn't be so fickle.
"If we don't come out soon, this bastard will drain Tai Run Pond dry." Di Jun's eyes were full of heartache and regret.
“How could that be?” Taiyi chuckled. “Unless Pangu is reincarnated, who can digest it? Let Chang Hao use this to break through his realm, which will also settle our differences. When he comes out, we can apologize properly, and this matter will be over.”
"What?" Di Jun pointed at himself, "I have to apologize?"
"Hmph, don't even think about it." Di Jun turned and left.
"Big brother, big brother..." Taiyi sighed helplessly, looking at Tai Runchi and said loudly, "Chang Hao, I know you can hear me. Just focus on your cultivation in Tai Runchi. No one will bother you. Also, I'm sorry."
Chang Hao smiled and decided to let it go, for Taiyi's sake and for Taiyi's sincere apology.
It was originally a struggle for resources. Di Jun had a broader vision and was more ruthless than Tai Yi.
Chang Hao closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and focused on breaking through his cultivation realm. He had been cultivating for countless years. After successfully breaking through and stabilizing his realm at the intermediate level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he opened his eyes and discovered that a primordial array had appeared at the bottom of the pool.
Based on Chang Hao's experience, he guessed that it was probably a teleportation array, and the other end was connected to some unknown place.
Chang Hao guessed that the most likely place to teleport to was Taiyin Star.
Chang Hao poked his head out of the Tai Run Pond. It was time to leave the Sun Star. Regardless of whether Yuan Shi had returned to find him, he should at least go and check if Yuan Shi was safe.
If he is safe and sound, he can rest easy; otherwise, he will help him get revenge, so as not to let down the companions who have traveled together all this way.
Chang Hao leaped out of Tai Run Pond, and with a thought, automatically changed into a narrow-sleeved robe, in case he and Di Jun got into a fight over a disagreement.
Chang Hao stood quietly for a while. Something was wrong. Usually, Taiyi would come as soon as he peeked out. Why was it so quiet today?
