Chapter 126

Inside the Sanqing Shop, the three brothers also gathered together.

"So, Hongjun yielded the Dao Ancestor position to you because He actually wants to 'Achieve Hunyuan'?" Lord Jing Yao rested his chin on his hand with a thoughtful expression.

Xiang Xuanqing nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, He has already begun to explore the path of advanced Great Luo cultivation."

"Otherwise, would He just give up the identity of the Ancestor of the Immortal Path so easily?"

"I don't believe there isn't some deep-seated purpose behind this."

Xiang Xuanqing had just briefly explained his own speculation.

Both Jing Yao and Yuchen felt that this speculation was 98% likely to be true.

As for the remaining two percent, it could not be ruled out that Hongjun truly wanted to use the "Dao Ancestor" position to bind Xiang Xuanqing to the chariot of the Immortal Path.

And perhaps even more than that.

"If you become the Dao Ancestor, we two will definitely support you." Lord Jing Yao said as such. The three Li brothers were close and loving; if Li Yuan truly became the Dao Ancestor, would Li Er and Li Ming stand idly by?

"And there is the Netherworld side." Daoist Yuchen pointed out that Ghost Immortals were also an important component of the Immortal Path, and by then, the Netherworld would also become one of the basic foundations of the Immortal Path.

This did not even count Xiang Xuanqing's other identity: the Second Ancestor of the Demonic Path, the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

If He were Hongjun, He would definitely try every possible way to win Xiang Xuanqing over to the Immortal Path side.

"However, having said that."

Having regained his composure, Jing Yao looked Xiang Xuanqing up and down and asked: "Hongjun is Great Luo, so it is normal for Him to explore the path of advanced Great Luo cultivation. You are still Taiyi; why did you guess so accurately?"

"Could it be..."

Jing Yao sat with Yuchen, their gazes toward Xiang Xuanqing carrying a sense of scrutiny.

He now seriously suspected that a certain deity had quietly betrayed the class camaraderie of the three Li brothers—appearing to be a Taiyi Dao Lord on the surface, but actually being a Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun.

Daoist Yuchen also reacted to this.

That's right, Hongjun is a Great Da Da Luo Zhi Zun; it is perfectly reasonable for Him to explore the path beyond Great Luo.

Xiang Xuanqing is only Taiyi!

How did he think of it?

"Speak quickly, otherwise our Sanqing Shop will have to close down after just one day of business." Lord Jing Yao huffed and puffed, putting on a posture of "If you don't give an explanation, our brotherhood will immediately break."

Facing the scrutiny of his two good brothers, Xiang Xuanqing was caught between laughter and tears: "This is not something that can be explained clearly in a short while. Wait until we go back and let you experience it, then you will know."

"Experience it?" Jing Yao and Yuchen looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Because they were still in Bai Yu Jing, Xiang Xuanqing did not say too much.

"I guarantee it will be interesting."

In the Fifth Tiancheng, the immortals finally made a decision.

"The Dao Ancestor can be changed, but not now."

Daoist Yin Yang said: "We can understand Fellow Daoist Hongjun's pursuit of the Great Dao, but He cannot disregard the entire Immortal Path."

"That's right," Immortal Qian Kun said. "If Fellow Daoist wants to seek Great Transcendence, we have no reason to stop Him, but we must wait until He can truly take another step forward before we consider changing the Dao Ancestor."

With the Great Dao as the priority, everyone could understand.

If Hongjun truly "Achieves Hunyuan," they would not only not stop Him, but would even assist Him.

By then, it would be perfectly fine for Hongjun to designate the Sanqing to take over.

"But what about Fellow Daoist Fengdu?"

Kunpeng immediately added: "If we want to pull Him into the fold without giving Him actual status or benefits, will He agree?"

"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Fengdu has taken the lead in completing the shaping of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit and opened up a Great Luo Immortal Path; we cannot fail to show some sincerity."

"I have a method."

Daoist Yang Mei pondered repeatedly and said: "In the sky there is Bai Yu Jing, with twelve towers and five cities."

"At the beginning of our founding of the Immortal Path, we already finalized the seats of the Immortal Path. So why not be straightforward and divide the Immortal Path into major lineages?"

"The Lord of the Qionglou is the master of a lineage, and the lords of the five great Heavenly Cities are also masters of a lineage."

Yang Mei looked at the immortals: "The path-openers who join my Immortal Path shall each hold a lineage and become Immortal Sovereign Sect Masters."

"The three shopkeepers of the Sanqing Shop shall solely control the Heavenly Immortal lineage, become the lords of the First Tiancheng, and enjoy the fortune of the Immortal Path. The Immortal Path universe corresponding to the First Tiancheng, the Infinite Myriad Heavens, can all serve as the basic foundation for the Heavenly Immortal lineage."

"From now on, their words and actions in the outside world represent the words and actions of my Immortal Path, and their will in the outside world is also the will of my Immortal Path."

The immortals looked at Hongjun, and seeing Hongjun nod slightly, their hearts were shaken.

This was the formal beginning of establishing the equity of the Immortal Path!

"Agreed!"

The immortals voted to pass Yang Mei's proposal.

"Then I will go and tell Fellow Daoist Fengdu the good news!" The Ginseng Fruit Tree was very proactive and happily prepared to go to the Sanqing Shop.

"Let's all go together; that will appear more formal," Kunpeng said.

"Uh... it seems there is no need to go." Yaochi looked toward the Sanqing Shop, where eight large characters were written on the shop door.

"Shop closed, return date uncertain."

Clearly, those three shopkeepers had left.

"They just left like that?" Emperor Dong Hua was stunned.

We were having such an intense discussion here, and it turns out the main party didn't seem to care at all whether Bai Yu Jing would accept Him as the Dao Ancestor, and just left so nonchalantly.

You could at least have said goodbye!

"Did the three of them come to Bai Yu Jing specifically to mess with our state of mind?" Daoist Yin Yang sighed toward the sky, feeling a bit weary.

He knew this guy was not a simple character!

Regarding the departure of the three Xiang brothers, Hongjun and Yang Mei did not react much.

The entire Bai Yu Jing was under Their control; the moment the three brothers left, both of them knew.

"Well, this assembly has also progressed enough."

Hongjun smiled: "Fellow Daoists, go back and prepare for the Hunyuan Nine Immortals matters. At the next assembly, we shall finalize the Immortal Path lineages together, how about that?"

Just in time to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the predetermined founders of the Divine Immortal Path.

When the time comes and all the major lineages are complete, that will be the time for Their Immortal Path to flourish!

"In that case, we shall take our leave." The immortals bowed and retreated.

The Bai Yu Jing Assembly concluded.

Endless immortal light shone brilliantly, illuminating the eternal void.

One by one, the immortals turned into light and departed, causing Bai Yu Jing to gradually become quiet.

Yang Mei stood in the void beside Hongjun. He blew the mountain breeze, looked at the flickering immortal lights, and smiled: "After the next assembly, the immortal light of Bai Yu Jing will illuminate more than just this region."

"I hope so."

Hongjun smiled and shook His head, then turned and stepped into the void.

"Old Daoist, where are you going?" Yang Mei chased after Him quickly.

"But now that the transformation is imminent, I have to lie down for a while longer, I won't go back yet."

"What do you mean by a bad idea? I am going to prepare a mountain."

"Another mountain?"

"That's right, another mountain, Mount Western Kunlun. You can call it East Western Kunlun."

Netherworld, Qifei Tiangong.

The three brothers who had left Bai Yu Jing were drinking tea.

"We left without saying goodbye; isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Daoist Yuchen savored the profoundness of the Enlightenment Tea.

Beside the Dao Lord, there was also a Treasure-Seeking Mouse that had just gained intelligence; it also received a cup of Enlightenment Tea.

At this moment, it was imitating Daoist Yuchen's posture, gracefully sipping the tea.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Everything that needed to be communicated has been, and the rest is just a matter of finalizing the decision." Lord Jing Yao picked up a tender green Enlightenment Tea leaf; this leaf had naturally formed Great Dao patterns, faintly outlining the shape of an alchemy crucible.

"Come, little cow, this is good stuff." Jing Yao chuckled and fed this Enlightenment Tea leaf to the little green cow lying on the table.

"When I left, I said goodbye to Fellow Daoists Hongjun and Yang Mei." Xiang Xuanqing looked at their two spiritual pets and suddenly thought of the five-colored lion he had left to roam in the Yin-Yang universe.

Hmm, and the Five-Needle Pine in the long river of time.

Perhaps he could let him take Duobao along.

A squirrel is a mouse, and a Treasure-Seeking Mouse is also a mouse.

There should be topics for mice to discuss.

"Alright, the Enlightenment Tea has been drunk; now it's time to take you to experience what is called above Great Luo."

Xiang Xuanqing cleared away the tea set and took out the Sin Mirror.

"What do you mean by the experience you mentioned?" Jing Yao looked at the Sin Mirror curiously.

Xiang Xuanqing smiled brightly, "You'll know when we get there."

He reached out and summoned the eyeball of the Destruction Demon God, which flew out from the Taisha Tiangong and into the Sin Mirror.

Boom—rumble~~

The Great Dao was profound and mysterious, with layers upon layers of law light and shadows, and endless primordial energy converging, simulating the chaotic time and space.

A ghostly light shot out from the Sin Mirror, pulling Lord Jing Yao into the Dao Realm.

"My Great Pangu Dashen!"

The moment Lord Jing Yao opened his eyes, he saw a giant holding a large axe rushing toward him in the vast chaos.

"Die!"

The heavy voice fell, and the Pangu axe light flashed.

That ancient and desolate eternal killing power covered the endless time and space, causing the Great Dao to be obliterated and the power of turning eternity into dust to erupt.

"Run!!"

A thought took root.

Light flickered in the eyes of the 【Destruction Demon God】.

He turned and ran, not stopping at all.

Lord Jing Yao knew who he was now.

But he did not think the Destruction Demon God could arm-wrestle with Pangu.

Destroy eternity? Kill Pangu?

How many drinks would it take to get that drunk?

Under the control of Lord Jing Yao, the 【Destruction Demon God】 gloriously ran away.

However, could he run away?

Under the Pangu axe, the 【Destruction Demon God】 in the infinite time and space had only one ending: death!

"Ah!!"

In the Qifei Tiangong, Lord Jing Yao let out a loud cry, giving Daoist Yuchen a fright.

"What's wrong?" Daoist Yuchen was startled and uncertain.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!"

Lord Jing Yao endured the phantom pain brought by the Pangu axe and returned to normal.

He looked at Yuchen calmly: "Fellow Daoist, it's your turn. Go and see; there's a surprise."

Daoist Yuchen looked at Lord Jing Yao suspiciously: "You're trying to trap me again, aren't you?"

"No, absolutely not." Lord Jing Yao pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, laughing insincerely.

Xiang Xuanqing said: "Go and see; it'll be fine."

Only then did Yuchen agree.

A moment later.

"Ah!! Pangu, I hate you!"

Yuchen's miserable scream echoed throughout the entire Tiangong.

Listening to such a shrill scream, Jing Yao raised the corners of his mouth, as if hearing immortal music.

This felt much more comfortable.

"You two!" Daoist Yuchen's eyes were bloodshot, glaring at Xiang Xuanqing and Jing Yao.

His head was aching now.

Xiang Xuanqing pursed his lips and smiled: "It's fine, you'll get used to it after going a few more times."

"Isn't it just the Pangu axe? You'll get used to being chopped."

Lord Jing Yao nodded: "That's right, if you're not used to it now, you'll have to get used to it later!"

"Then I'll go in again!" Daoist Yuchen gritted his teeth, his consciousness sinking into the Dao Realm.

Xiang Xuanqing said: "Let's go together."

He beckoned, and the aura belonging to the 【Darkness Demon God】 was cast into the Sin Mirror.

At the same time, a light fell from the long river of time, and the aura of the 【Five Elements Demon God】 descended.

"Let's just see what changes will happen if we go together."

Jing Yao's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"
