Chapter 37: The Opportunity Arrives! The Battle Between Dong Wanggong and Kunpeng!
The laws of the earth pressed down, caressing the planet and causing their true forms to be exposed in embarrassing ways. Even the tips of their fingers pressed down on their true forms, which left them blushing and almost unable to maintain their innate Dao forms. In their panic, they subconsciously ignored this fact.
Looking back now, the other party was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If they did not cultivate the same Dao, how could they easily pierce through their laws and radiant light?
Only the Da Luo Golden Immortal could use Dao to govern Dao and comprehend all laws. (Even Da Luo Golden Immortals, who belong to the same level, find it difficult to peer into each other’s powers. Generally, Quasi-Saint cannot either.)
The three women sighed in relief as they thought of this.
Yunxiao stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
“Yunxiao of the Three Xiao, greetings, fellow Daoist. We were impulsive earlier! We saw our senior brother in a desperate situation and instinctively acted to help! Please forgive us!”
Chu Xuan shook his head grandly.
“It’s fine! I was simply excited by the hunt!”
“Fellow Daoist Gongming’s twelve Sea Calming Divine Pearls are truly as mighty as mountains and seas like twelve heavens descending! In my emotional state, I acted against you all! I should have explained the situation earlier!”
Zhao Gongming smiled in delight. He was quite pleased with the praise from a fellow cultivator of the same realm who had just defeated him.
After all, it mattered who was giving the praise. If it was Chu Xuan, he naturally felt that he was indeed worthy of praise.
He quickly responded, “I dare not,” and began a mutual flattery exchange, saying that fellow Daoist of the Wu race’s true form was indeed renowned in the Primordial Realm.
Seeing this, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao felt that the Wu race was humble and polite. Despite the earlier misunderstanding, they now saw the Wu race in a new light. The Wu race could be so graceful, which made their previous misunderstanding seem even more inappropriate.
Only Bixiao, who had remained silent at first, looked uncertain, still suspicious.
“Although their laws clashed, it seemed as if the laws were crushed before. The sensation felt real!”
Despite her doubts, Bixiao saw that no one else had raised the issue, so she kept quiet.
“Indeed, a Taiyi Golden Immortal should not be able to suppress our laws to such an extent!”
Meanwhile, Duobao Daoist approached and sat with everyone to discuss the Dao with great pleasure.
“Daoist Chu Xuan’s great power is astounding! He was able to suppress Gongming’s twelve Sea Calming Divine Pearls. Even though my cultivation is slightly higher than Gongming’s, I usually wouldn’t dare to receive his Sea Calming Divine Pearls. It’s like the Great Pangu is still alive!”
“One can almost glimpse a hint of Pangu’s grandeur from it!”
His words praised both of them, which drew happy responses from the guests.
Chu Xuan, although smiling on the surface, couldn’t help but feel some emotion inwardly.
“Sure enough, Duobao Daoist is not as simple as he appears! I originally planned to spar with him but unexpectedly ran into Zhao Gongming, and he diverted the focus onto Zhao Gongming! However, it makes sense. After all, I am a guest here to discuss matters of assistance, and he is disciple of the eldest Shangqing. It wouldn’t look good whether I won or lost! It’s a pity. I originally wanted to suppress Duobao and make him the subject of Guang Chengzi’s ridicule to add fuel to the division of the Three Pure Ones!”
Indeed, Chu Xuan had hidden his cultivation and acted under the guise of a casual exchange, but he had some hidden motives.
Although he was currently investing in the Three Pure Ones, it was for the future of the Wu race, not out of genuine goodwill.
He had to plan for the future.
The current cause and effect did not reach too far and needed more planning to bind them together.
If the Three Pure Ones remained united, the future need for the Wu race would greatly diminish.
Dividing Three Pure Ones was the right path.
Once the Three Pure Ones separated, even if they became Saints, their influence over the Wu race would not be as strong.
To avoid a butterfly effect and perhaps out of instinct to make his move first, Chu Xuan had made these calculations.
But it seemed that part of his plan had fallen through.
Guang Chengzi was not very clever, but Duobao didn’t appear to be the same.
The future Buddha?
Chu Xuan’s gaze flickered.
Just as he was about to speak, a sudden disturbance from afar, beyond the Three Pure Ones’s secret realm, shook countless laws of heaven and earth.
It immediately caught the attention of everyone present, even the entire Primordial Realm.
“It’s here!”
The opportunity!
Chu Xuan immediately buried his plans regarding the Three Pure Ones deep in his heart. There was no rush concerning them.
The key now was the competition for the Saint position!
His eyes pierced through the trembling laws of the Dao in the world.
At this moment, the tremors in the Dao were so great that one didn’t need high cultivation to sense it; the transmission of laws was enough for all Golden Immortal-level beings to feel it. The Golden Immortal realm is where one begins to truly control laws.
Now, the disturbance in the laws of the Primordial Realm was so intense that even Golden Immortals were affected.
This could only be a life-and-death battle of beings with immense powers!
The gazes of countless mighty beings in the Primordial Realm turned towards it.
They saw a vast, pure Yang energy overwhelming the boundless void and falling towards a furious and shocked Kunpeng.
The roar of Kunpeng echoed.
“Dong Wanggong, are you crazy?!”
