The red-robed Grand Unity Golden Immortal chased after her, shouting, "Yaochi, wait for me."
Yaochi was actually Queen Mother of the West's given name.
Queen Mother of the West turned to look at the red-robed Grand Unity Golden Immortal and asked, "Donghua, why should I wait for you?"
Eastern Prince Gong, who was the red-robed Grand Unity Golden Immortal, replied, "My true form is the supreme yang energy of heaven and earth, while yours is the supreme yin energy. Our origins are similar, so we should be close."
Queen Mother of the West retorted, "You are supreme yang, and I am supreme yin. We are opposites, so how can we be close?"
Queen Mother of the West looked at Eastern Prince Gong with annoyance. She had no interest in him whatsoever, yet he kept pestering her. It was truly detestable.
However, Queen Mother of the West's cultivation was similar to Eastern Prince Gong's, both at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. It was difficult for her to shake him off, which made her very frustrated.
Eastern Prince Gong shook his head and said, "Yin and yang may seem like two extremes, but when they combine, there is infinite power. Our closeness is the will of heaven and earth."
"Nonsense!"
Queen Mother of the West suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the heavens.
But Eastern Prince Gong shamelessly pursued her.
In reality, his cultivation was slightly stronger than Queen Mother of the West's, so he could easily catch up.
Seeing Eastern Prince Gong closing in again, Queen Mother of the West's mood naturally soured.
Just then, she noticed two familiar figures several thousand miles away, leisurely heading towards Zixiao Palace.
These two figures were Nuwa and Fuxi.
After a moment of hesitation, Queen Mother of the West flew towards Fuxi.
Fuxi and Nuwa naturally noticed Queen Mother of the West's arrival.
They were somewhat surprised, as they had never spoken to Queen Mother of the West before.
Fuxi looked at Nuwa, his eyes seeming to ask, Is this Queen Mother of the West your friend?
Nuwa also frowned, her eyes seemingly saying, I thought she was your friend.
Fuxi and Nuwa were both bewildered, but Queen Mother of the West shamelessly approached them.
"Fellow Daoists, could you take me with you to Zixiao Palace?"
Queen Mother of the West asked softly, a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Fuxi was initially confused by Queen Mother of the West's request, but after a moment, Eastern Prince Gong's voice could be heard from not far away.
"Yaochi, wait for me!"
Eastern Prince Gong relentlessly pursued Queen Mother of the West. Although he had no connection with Fuxi and Nuwa, his shamelessness far surpassed Queen Mother of the West's.
Seeing Queen Mother of the West join the Fuxi siblings' group, Eastern Prince Gong decided to shamelessly tag along.
Eastern Prince Gong arrived before them and greeted Fuxi and Nuwa, "Fellow Daoists, could you take Yaochi and me along to Zixiao Palace?"
Queen Mother of the West became anxious upon hearing this and said with a hint of anger, "Donghua, stop bothering me!"
Hearing this, Fuxi finally understood.
A man pursuing a woman faces a mountain.
Eastern Prince Gong was trying to climb over that mountain.
However, Fuxi didn't let them continue their exchange and instead said, "A man cannot. A woman can."
Fuxi pointed at Eastern Prince Gong and said, "You, get lost."
"Huh?"
The smile on Eastern Prince Gong's face froze. He hadn't expected Fuxi to be so unreasonable, even driving him away. Wasn't he trying to prevent him from approaching Queen Mother of the West?
Eastern Prince Gong asked, "Fellow Daoist, why are you driving me away? I merely wished to befriend you and travel together."
Fuxi let out a cold laugh.
He wasn't oblivious to Eastern Prince Gong's intentions. Befriending them? He was clearly lusting after Queen Mother of the West and resorting to this persistent pestering. Fuxi despised those who shamelessly fawned over others without any real strength.
Moreover, even a fool could see that Eastern Prince Gong had no intention of befriending their siblings, yet he insisted on treating them like idiots.
Fuxi certainly wouldn't give such a person a pleasant expression.
"You want to be friends, so I'll be friends with you?"
"You want to travel together, so I have to allow you to?"
"Am I your father or your mother that I have to satisfy your every whim?"
Fuxi's words echoed through the clouds, causing the atmosphere to instantly freeze.
With that, Fuxi waved his sleeve, stirring up a gust of wind that carried Nuwa and Queen Mother of the West as they sped towards Zixiao Palace.
Though described as a gentle breeze, the speed of the three was so immense that they formed an almost indistinguishable streak of light.
Eastern Prince Gong, who had just been thoroughly berated by Fuxi, stood frozen on the spot.
"What's going on? I was so polite, why did Fuxi just explode with anger? Where did I offend Fuxi?"
Eastern Prince Gong was utterly bewildered. He racked his brain but couldn't understand why Fuxi treated him with such disdain and coldness, even resorting to insults. It was simply too much.
Eastern Prince Gong's face suddenly darkened, and he exclaimed, "This is bad! Don't tell me Fuxi is coveting Yaochi's beauty and wants to compete with me for her?!"
As soon as Eastern Prince Gong thought of this, he felt enlightened.
According to his line of thought, Fuxi's actions and attitude were easily explained.
Eastern Prince Gong said resentfully, "Fuxi, I considered you a friend, but you want to steal my Yaochi. You deserve to die!"
"No! I have to catch up to them and get Yaochi back!"
Eastern Prince Gong's expression turned solemn, and he quickly mobilized his magic power, unleashing a secret speed technique to pursue the aurora Fuxi and the other two were in.
However, Eastern Prince Gong's cultivation was only at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and he wasn't a race known for speed. How could he possibly catch up to Fuxi, who was at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal?
Eastern Prince Gong looked at Fuxi, who was getting farther and farther away, beyond his reach. His face contorted into a grimace.
In reality, even Kunpeng and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who were traveling in their true forms and were known for their speed, were filled with surprise upon seeing Fuxi's aurora-like speed.
Even they couldn't achieve such speed.
When Eastern Emperor Taiyi recognized the familiar figure within the aurora, his face instantly turned a sickly shade of purple.
"Fuxi, how could it be you!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi hadn't forgotten how Fuxi had soundly defeated him and forced him to flee in embarrassment last time.
Of course, he harbored resentment, but he didn't dare to offend Fuxi for the time being, as he still couldn't defeat him.
Chapter 30: Grand Unity Yields Way, Primordial Lays Low
High in the sky on the way to Zixiao Palace, many Grand Unity Golden Immortals personally witnessed Fuxi's aurora-like speed as he rushed along.
As Fuxi passed by them, they deliberately moved aside, fearing they might delay him and offend him.
Fuxi's reputation had already spread far and wide among the Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Since even the Three Pure Ones were no match for Fuxi, others were mere trifles before him.
Therefore, Fuxi's journey was exceptionally smooth, akin to the joy of driving on a road where all other cars voluntarily yield the way for you.
Queen Mother of the West stood beside Nuwa, marveling at Fuxi's incredible speed. She hadn't expected his speed technique to be so swift.
In truth, Fuxi hadn't deliberately studied the Great Dao related to speed. However, his cultivation realm was far ahead of other Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Furthermore, he had heard Fuxi's discourse on the principles of speed during Hongjun's lecture on the Great Dao of Grand Unity.
Thus, while Fuxi's speed was abnormal, he himself considered it perfectly normal.
When Queen Mother of the West saw other Grand Unity Golden Immortals making way for Fuxi, her beautiful eyes sparkled.
Although she had heard of Fuxi's deeds before, she hadn't truly grasped how powerful he was.
But now, Fuxi's extreme speed and the reactions of the other Grand Unity Golden Immortals made her realize his might.
"A man who dares to contend for opportunities and vie with other Grand Unity Golden Immortals is far superior to that Eastern Prince Gong," Queen Mother of the West thought to herself.
Nuwa noticed the unusual gaze Queen Mother of the West cast towards Fuxi and suddenly felt a twinge of discomfort.
And so, amidst the gasps of the Grand Unity Golden Immortals traveling along, Fuxi, with Nuwa and Queen Mother of the West in tow, arrived at the dojo of Zixiao Palace.
Some Grand Unity Golden Immortals had already arrived and were waiting there.
When they saw Fuxi, they voluntarily cleared a path, allowing Fuxi to walk to the front of the dojo and reach the grand entrance of Zixiao Palace.
Fuxi touched his nose and looked at Nuwa, asking, "Am I that terrifying?"
Nuwa smiled and said nothing.
Queen Mother of the West replied, "Rather than terrifying, it's more accurate to say they revere Daoist Brother."
Fuxi scratched his head, surprised that Queen Mother of the West was so eloquent.
Not far away, some Grand Unity Golden Immortals saw Queen Mother of the West beside Fuxi and were somewhat confused.
Queen Mother of the West, Fuxi, and Nuwa were not related by blood or acquaintance, so why were they traveling together?
Although these Grand Unity Golden Immortals usually appeared very proper and dignified, they would still gossip and discuss interesting matters amongst themselves.
However, they didn't dwell on this matter for long, as soon after, some powerful figures from Honghuang also began arriving at Zixiao Palace.
Two incredibly dazzling balls of fire streaked towards Zixiao Palace, eliciting exclamations from the crowd.
As the light and heat from the two fireballs dissipated, four figures were revealed.
Fuxi was very familiar with the first two figures; they were Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun. The latter two figures were two elegantly dressed and graceful beautiful women, Xihe and Changxi.
Fuxi had naturally never met Xihe and Changxi before. Fortunately, Queen Mother of the West was acquainted with them and quietly introduced them to Fuxi.
Fuxi looked at the two beautiful women and sighed regretfully in his heart: They are indeed good-looking, but alas, their lives are short.
Following Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the other three, a group of Grand Unity Golden Immortals from the Demon Race also made their appearance, such as Kunpeng and Bai Ze.
In fact, Fuxi and Nuwa could be considered part of the Demon Race, but they had no connection with them and didn't consider themselves as such in their daily lives.
Not long after the Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Demon Race arrived, the Three Pure Ones also came to Zixiao Palace, riding on auspicious clouds.
However, the Three Pure Ones appeared somewhat unusual today. They stood at the back of the crowd, eyes closed in deep meditation, completely silent and very low-key.
If it were just Laozi acting this way, it could be considered normal, as Laozi's nature was inherently tranquil and detached from worldly affairs.
