Chapter 208

Above the East China Sea, Golden Ao Island is shrouded in mist and radiant with divine light.

Celestial music filled the island, and auspicious energy soared into the sky.

The scene of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage is truly magnificent.

A hearty laugh echoed from within the Jade Pure Palace: "Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Chu, your presence is an honor! Tongtian has failed to greet you properly; please forgive me!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tong had already transformed into a streak of azure light and appeared to greet him.

She was dressed in a light blue Daoist robe, and her face radiated enthusiasm.

Seeing Tongtian's enthusiasm, Chu Feng felt a warmth in his heart and turned to smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you are too kind. I have also brought two old friends with me to meet you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Laozi and Yuanshi appeared.

Tongtian's smile froze instantly.

The warmth that was like a gentle spring breeze vanished the moment they saw Laozi and Yuanshi, turning into the freezing cold of the deepest hell.

An overwhelming, chilling killing intent surged from her body, causing the sea of clouds Golden Ao Island to churn violently.

The immortals of the Interception Sect fell silent, bowing their heads, not daring to look directly at the terrifying pressure.

What are they doing here?

Tongtian's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth. His gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced directly at Yuanshi: "You are not welcome here. Get out of Golden Ao Island!"

Their last encounter ended badly, and the Three Pure Ones have had no contact since.

If Chu Feng hadn't been there, she probably would have already unleashed the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

Yuanshi Tianzun was incredibly arrogant, but when Tongtian rebuked him like this in front of thousands of disciples, his face turned ashen.

She snorted coldly, her imposing gaze sweeping over Tongtian, and rebuked him. "Tongtian! What kind of manners are these! Your elder brother has come, and you dare to speak so arrogantly! What kind of behavior is this!"

"Rules? Propriety?"

Tongtian, enraged, laughed coldly, "Yuanshi, when you bullied the weak back then, did you ever think about the meaning of rules? Now you have the nerve to come to my Golden Ao Island to talk about propriety!"

Seeing the two about to clash, Laozi suddenly frowned and shouted in a deep voice, "Yuanshi, shut up!"

Yuanshi was shocked and looked at his elder brother in disbelief.

In the past, no matter what, her elder brother would always favor her to some extent. Why would he publicly reprimand her for Tongtian's sake today?

Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying to Tongtian, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I know you have grievances in your heart."

But in any case, you are ultimately the transformation of the primordial spirit of the Great God Pangu, and are brothers born of the same mother.

The past grievances are settled. I hope your relationship can be repaired, so as not to bring shame upon the Great God Pangu."

Tongtian glanced at Chu Feng, then at Yuanshi whose expression was constantly changing, his anger surging within him.

Finally, she took a deep breath and slowly suppressed her murderous intent.

She snorted coldly and turned her head away, "Hmph, today, for Fellow Daoist Chu's sake, I won't hold it against you!"

Yuanshi had never received such a condescending forgiveness before. Just as he was about to speak again in rebuttal, he saw Laozi's cold gaze sweep over him, carrying a hint of warning.

Yuanshi felt a chill run down his spine and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

This scene was clearly witnessed by Celestial Eye.

A sudden tremor ran through her heart, and a complex and inexplicable emotion welled up within her.

How many years has it been?

Since the family split up at Kunlun Mountain, this is the first time the eldest brother has not unconditionally favored the second brother.

He even rebuked Yuanshi twice, all for his own sake.

A warm current quietly melted in her heart.

His tense expression relaxed considerably.

Laozi Tzu saw everything and sighed inwardly.

She reflected on herself and realized that she had indeed been unfair back then, showing too little concern for her third brother.

This led to the brothers becoming estranged, resulting in a major disaster.

Unexpectedly, Tongtian was so easily satisfied just because he had only shown a little bit of fairness.

Feeling guilty, she knew she had to strike while the iron was hot.

"Third brother,"

Laozi spoke first, his tone much gentler, "I've come here today to discuss something with you."

"Our Human Religion, the Yuanshi Chan Sect, and your Interception Sect, could we hold a grand exchange conference among the disciples of the Three Teachings to share knowledge, enhance our understanding of the Dao, and resolve past grievances?"

Chu Feng added with a smile, "That's right. To show our sincerity, Fellow Daoists Taiqing, Yuqing, and I have all prepared prizes as rewards for the winners of the tournament."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian was taken aback at first, then his eyes flashed with an undisguised glint.

Exchange among the Three Teachings?

This is fantastic news!

More importantly, this represents the eldest and second eldest brothers taking the initiative to show goodwill.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Tongtian exclaimed "Good!" three times, his hearty smile returning. "This is a truly benevolent act; how could I refuse!"

The matter was settled, Tongtian was very satisfied.

She waved her hand and said loudly, "Brothers, Fellow Daoist Chu, please come into my Jade Pure Palace for a chat!"

Duobao, Wudang, quickly prepare a banquet and treat our distinguished guest with the highest honors!

Jade Pure Palace, celestial music filled the air, and exquisite wines and rare fruits were laid out on long tables.

At the banquet, the Three Pure Ones, who rarely sit together, reminisced about the past.

However, Yuanshi still couldn't bring himself to do it and remained indifferent.

Seeing this, Laozi frowned again, picked up his wine cup, and said to Tongtian, "Third brother, don't take it to heart. Your second brother is just like this. He's been stubborn for so many years."

Laozi appears to be reprimanding Yuanshi, but in reality, he is apologizing to Tongtian Yuanshi.

Tongtian was deeply moved and quickly raised his cup, saying, "Brother, what are you saying? I don't mind at all."

At this moment, a Disciples of the Sect of Interception who was standing nearby carefully stepped forward to pour wine for Yuanshi.

Yuanshi glanced at her and, seeing that her cultivation was decent and her Dao heart was pure, his heart stirred slightly.

She took out a ruyi scepter shimmering with rosy light from her sleeve, handed it over, and said calmly, "This was crafted by me in my spare time. It is a Supreme Postcelestial Spiritual Treasure, which I bestow upon you."

The disciple was immediately flattered and overwhelmed with emotion, trembling all over. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple thanks Senior Uncle! Thanks Senior Uncle!"

The Disciples of the Sect of Interception looked on with envy.

Seeing this, Chu Feng suddenly burst into laughter.

He pointed, and a mysterious stream of energy instantly entered the Ruyi.

After a clear and melodious sound, the original acquired light completely disappeared, replaced by a pure Innate Dao Rhyme!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the grade of the spiritual treasure was forcibly upgraded from the highest grade of the acquired realm to the Innate Spiritual Treasure!

The entire Jade Pure Palace fell silent instantly.

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun's pupils suddenly contracted, their hands holding wine cups froze in mid-air, their faces filled with shock.

To return the acquired to the innate—what a heaven-defying method!

This is beyond their comprehension!

Of course, this is not a difficult thing for Chu Feng now.

One year later, the banquet ended.

Laozi and Yuanshi were about to take their leave when Tongtian personally escorted them to the Golden Ao Island. The atmosphere had softened considerably from its initial tense standoff.

Chu Feng stayed behind, having agreed to Tongtian to remain on Golden Ao Island for several days.

After seeing off his two elder brothers, Tongtian returned to the Jade Pure Palace. Looking at Chu Feng, his face showed an unprecedented ease.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, today is the happiest day since the Three Pure Ones split up. Thank you very much."

Chu Feng smiled, looking at her with deep eyes. "It was nothing, just a small favor. However, Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I would like to ask, how are the cultivation progresses of your Disciples of the Sect of Interception?"
