Chapter 207

That's right.

With just a few words, Chu Feng recounted the cause and effect of his acquaintance with the Great Dao, leaving Shichen Chen with nothing but awe.

She glanced at Luohu and Yang Mei, who stood calmly beside her, and instantly...

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and bowed respectfully. "Fellow Daoist Chu, the Great Shichen is boundless, and I am willing to follow you and listen to your teachings."

Chu Feng nodded lightly without saying much. To him, Shichen's addition was a powerful ally.

In the years that followed, Chu Feng, Luohu, Yang Mei, and Shichen would sit together and discuss the Dao.

In an instant, flowers rained down from the sky, Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth, and profound Daoist charm permeated every inch of space.

Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

A vast and unparalleled aura suddenly erupted from Luohu, followed immediately by Yang Mei.

Divine light flowed around them, their realm barriers shattered, and they all stepped into the second Hunyuan Taiji Immortal Venerable Realm.

Only Shichen remained, and her cultivation level remained stagnant. Although she was severely injured, she was still Hunyuan Taiji Immortal Venerable and could only recover slowly.

Chu Feng hasn't helped her yet.

After all, Shichen is very strong, and if he helps her recover, Chu Feng isn't confident he can keep her here by force.

(PS: Time is supreme, space is king. This doesn't mean Chu Feng is trash, but rather that these two principles offer top-tier survival abilities.)

After the women stabilized their cultivation levels, Chu Feng slowly stood up and turned his gaze towards the Primordial World.

He felt he had stayed long enough and it was time to go back.

"I want to go back to the Primordial World."

Chu Feng said calmly.

"Go in peace, my husband. We will stay here and cultivate in seclusion, waiting for your return," Luohu said gently.

The women nodded in agreement; they knew Chu Feng cared deeply for the Primordial World and did not stop him.

Chu Feng nodded, took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the chaos.

When it reappeared, it was already standing in the sky above Shouyang Mountain.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he locked onto the aura of non-action within the Eight Views Palace, and his figure appeared silently before Laozi.

Laozi was sitting quietly on the futon when he slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "So it's Fellow Daoist Chu."

"Laozi Daoist Laozi, how is the Human Race now?"

Chu Feng cut to the chase and asked the question.

Laozi sighed softly, his expression neither sad nor happy. "I have already passed down the Way of Non-Action and Tranquility, and there are many in the Human Race who diligently cultivate it."

However, their inherent evil nature is hard to eradicate. For a little bit of spiritual root or immortal herb, or for a blessed land, they will still kill each other and harm their own kind.

However, it's still better than during the Witch-Demon Calamity.

Chu Feng remained silent after listening, never expecting that the Human Race was still deeply mired in the struggle of desires.

I couldn't help but ponder the words of the Way of Heaven.

Perhaps, Human Race really shouldn't possess such great power.

However, Chu Feng felt that it was better to make plans after the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

I have prepared a lot of resources, if there are any Human Race who perform well in the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

He could even take out several Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal Fruits to nurture the Human Race.

Seeing that Chu Feng was unhappy, Laozi added, "Perhaps it's also related to the waning spiritual energy in the world you created. With resources scarce, the struggles naturally intensify."

"This is my decision, and the will of Heaven," Chu Feng said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Laozi said no more.

She knew that Chu Feng's attitude towards the Human Race had changed from that of an initial protector to that of a cold observer.

Just then, auspicious clouds descended from the sky.

Yuanshi appeared outside the Eight Views Palace. She had come to discuss important matters with Laozi, but she did not expect Chu Feng to be there as well.

She paused slightly, then straightened her clothes and walked in, respectfully cupping her fists to Chu Feng: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chu. Thank you for your understanding regarding the affairs of the Human Race, for allowing my elder brother to share the destiny of enlightenment."

"It's alright."

Chu Feng waved his hand casually, his gaze shifting between Laozi and Yuanshi.

Thinking of Tongtian, who was far away on Golden Ao Island and was being subtly rejected by them, Chu Feng's heart stirred.

The Three Pure Ones were originally transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, sharing the same origin. If they were to completely break apart, it would be far from a good thing for the future of the entire Primordial World.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "The Three Pure Ones were originally one, and although they have now separated, their friendship remains. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Tongtian has been lately?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the Eight Views Palace instantly became subtle.

Laozi lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "Third brother has a strong and resolute character. Her Interception Sect teaches without discrimination and has thousands of disciples. It must be an excellent sect."

Yuanshi, however, slightly curled the corners of his mouth and replied, "Third Brother's path is different from ours."

Our Chan Sect values quality over quantity. She indiscriminately accepts disciples, who are nothing more than creatures born from eggs and covered in fur and horns; they will ultimately amount to nothing."

Their words, though seemingly calm, were actually laced with hidden barbs, clearly indicating their unwillingness to discuss the matter further.

They were speaking in riddles, their intention to be perfunctory was all too clear.

Chu Feng sighed inwardly. It seemed that the rift between the Three Pure Ones was deeper than he had imagined.

Forcing it would be pointless, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he could only take it slowly.

He slowly stood up, his expression turning calm. "Since you two fellow Daoists have no interest in this, then I will not linger any longer."

As soon as the words were spoken, Laozi and Yuanshi both felt a chill run down their spines.

They could sense that Chu Feng was somewhat angry.

They vaguely sensed that Chu Feng intended to mediate between the brothers, but they missed this opportunity.

The loss would be enormous if Chu Feng completely lost interest in them.

The two exchanged a quick glance and instantly reached an agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, please wait!"

Laozi spoke first, his tone much more solemn, "My second brother and I have no intention of excluding our third brother; it's just that our paths diverge, and we haven't been in contact much."

If a suitable opportunity arises, we would naturally be willing to reconcile with our third brother."

Yuanshi was also a shrewd person. He immediately followed the steps and, after a moment's thought, took the initiative to suggest. "What you say is absolutely right, elder brother."

How about this, I propose holding a Grand Competition of the Three Sects, so that we disciples of the Three Teachings can learn from and verify each other's strengths.

"This will not only allow us to examine the Daoist arts, but also provide an opportunity to deepen the bond between the three brothers. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Chu?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng stopped and glanced back at Yuanshi, thinking to himself that Yuanshi was indeed quite astute.

This is a good suggestion; it gives them a way out and is indeed an opportunity to repair their relationship.

Chu Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "The suggestion is excellent. However, since it's a grand competition, there should be some prizes to motivate the younger generation to strive for excellence."

Laozi immediately understood, flicked his whisk, and smiled, saying, "I am willing to offer five Nine-Turn Golden Elixir as a prize for this competition."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was taken aback.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is Laozi's most treasured possession; a single pill can enable Primordial Unity Golden Immortal to instantly break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal, demonstrating his sincerity.

Not to be outdone, Yuanshi proudly declared, "I will then present the winner with five Supreme Postcelestial Spiritual Treasure that I personally crafted."

Seeing this, Chu Feng smiled faintly and waved his hand, causing five crystal-clear fruits imbued with Daoist charm to float in the air.

It is the Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum.

Immediately following, there were five more Ren Shui Pan Tao.

"I'll offer some fruit as a small bonus."

Laozi and Yuanshi looked at the ten fruits, and their pupils suddenly contracted.

Both the Yellow Middle Plum and the Ren Shui Pan Tao are legendary spiritual roots of heaven and earth from the Primordial World, and their value is no less than that of these treasures, and may even surpass it!

Chu Feng casually took out ten coins, and this display of wealth made them feel once again that he was unfathomable.

"Alright! In that case, it's settled."

Chu Feng made the final decision, "Let's go to Golden Ao Island now and ask Fellow Daoist Tongtian for his opinion."

As soon as they finished speaking, the three exchanged a glance, a thought flashing through their minds, and they arrived at Golden Ao Island...
