The Queen Mother of the West already knows the secret to breaking through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
If she calms down, it probably won't be long before she can break through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm like Lei Ze.
"Thank you for your kindness in achieving enlightenment, fellow Daoist."
The Queen Mother of the West clasped her hands and bowed deeply to Lei Ze.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Although you learned the method of breakthrough from Poor Daoist..."
But it's because you, fellow Daoist, are very observant.
If you, fellow Daoist, were like that Dong Wang Gong, only interested in taking what's readily available, how could you have seized such an opportunity?
Poor Daoist, I must tell you about a discovery I made after Poor Daoist breakthrough."
Lei Ze gladly accepted the Queen Mother of the West's gratitude and generous gift, but he did not become arrogant.
He, Lei Ze, and Queen Mother of the West are of the same kind of Innate Deities.
He observed Xuanqing and thus found the method for breakthrough; the Queen Mother of the West observed his seclusion and thus found the method for breakthrough.
They are actually on the same path.
Lei Ze was naturally happy to have found such a like-minded person, so he was not arrogant because of it.
Lei Ze, on the contrary, felt that the Queen Mother of the West might form an alliance with him, supporting each other and surviving together in the Primordial Wilderness.
Therefore, Lei Ze prepared to tell the Queen Mother of the West about his discovery of the Heavenly Dao and the Penglai Immortal Island.
This would naturally help him cultivate a better relationship with the Queen Mother of the West.
"Oh? I wonder what you discovered, my friend?"
The Queen Mother of the West looked at Lei Ze with suspicion, waiting for Lei Ze to continue.
"I presume you have also noticed the Heavenly Punishment outside Penglai Immortal Island?"
That Heavenly Punishment was specifically aimed at my breakthrough in Poor Daoist level.
However, this only applies to Poor Daoist; you should not be subject to Heavenly Punishment when you break through.
Poor Daoist's not what I wanted to talk about.
Lei Ze was able to deduce that he had incurred Heavenly Punishment because he had violated a taboo of the Heavenly Dao.
It was because he had sensed something.
While Heavenly Dao was targeting him, it also leaked a trace of information, which Lei Ze sensed.
Upon hearing Lei Ze's words, the Queen Mother of the West experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.
If she would face Heavenly Punishment even if she broke through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, then it would be better not to break through at all.
"Poor Daoist discovery is that the Heavenly Dao cannot reach this Penglai Immortal Island."
It was precisely because of this Penglai Immortal Island that Poor Daoist was able to break through to the realm of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
I'm afraid that once I leave Penglai Immortal Island, I will be unable to break through to the Poor Daoist.
The same applies to fellow Daoists.
Therefore, if you wish to break through your cultivation level, it is best to do so within Penglai Immortal Island before departing."
Lei Ze admonished the Queen Mother of the West.
He was targeted by Heavenly Punishment when he broke through, and he has never dared to leave Penglai Immortal Island since.
If they were to go outside, they would likely be struck down and reduced to ashes by Heavenly Punishment.
In order to form an alliance with the Queen Mother of the West, he informed her of these things.
"What? If that's what you're saying, fellow Daoist, doesn't that mean the Heavenly Dao is suppressing all living beings from breaking through?"
Upon hearing Lei Ze's words, the Queen Mother of the West exclaimed in surprise.
This conclusion was very easy to deduce; it's just that Lei Ze didn't say it aloud.
At the same time, the Queen Mother of the West also believed Lei Ze's words.
They spoke of the Heavenly Dao in this way, yet the Heavenly Dao, which they had felt was omnipresent in the Primordial Wilderness, had never brought down any punishment.
This demonstrates that Penglai Immortal Island truly can shield itself from the Heavenly Dao.
"Therefore, fellow Daoist, it is best to break through on Penglai Immortal Island before leaving."
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. May I ask what your plans are next?"
Fellow Daoist, you have violated the taboos of Heavenly Dao; I'm afraid you no longer dare to leave this Penglai Immortal Island, right?
Fellow Daoist, you told Poor Daoist all this not on a whim."
After Lei Ze, the Queen Mother of the West looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"This Poor Daoist wishes to form an alliance with you, fellow Daoist. What do you think?"
Lei Ze didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.
If he could form an alliance with the Queen Mother of the West, his future situation would be much better.
"Oh? Why do you think I would agree to form an alliance with Poor Daoist, fellow Daoist?"
Fellow Daoist has now violated a taboo of the Heavenly Dao and can only be confined to this Penglai Immortal Island.
Does this humble Poor Daoist have no need to form an alliance with you, fellow Daoist?
Even if I owe you Poor Daoist Causality achieving enlightenment, I can repay it slowly after I attain Poor Daoist.
"Is there any need to form an alliance with someone as isolated as you, fellow Daoist?"
The Queen Mother of the West did not immediately agree, but instead asked Lei Ze a question.
"Fellow Daoist, in fact we are all the same kind of beings, all beings who wholeheartedly yearn for the Dao."
Fellow Daoist, can you really guarantee that after you attain enlightenment on Penglai Immortal Island, you will still be able to cultivate outside the Primordial Wilderness?
Isn't it being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao?
If you, fellow Daoist, form an alliance with Poor Daoist can explore the path forward for us on Penglai Immortal Island.
"Fellow Daoist has been working tirelessly for us in the Primordial Wilderness. With this alliance, and by supporting each other, we will surely go even further."
Lei Ze had only one condition to persuade the Queen Mother of the West: their shared pursuit of the Dao.
This single condition might not seem like much to other living beings.
But for beings like the Queen Mother of the West and Lei Ze, Path of Cowardice/Prudence success in the Dao and whose yearning for the Dao is unwavering.
That was absolutely a winning combination.
In the hearts of beings like them, nothing is more important than the Great Dao.
Upon hearing Lei Ze's words, the Queen Mother of the West fell into deep thought.
Lei Ze discovered the method for advancing to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, so he must have made other discoveries as well.
Just as Lei Ze said, it's hard to say whether she'll still be able to cultivate after leaving Penglai Immortal Island.
If she and Lei Ze form an alliance, then Lei Ze will explore the path forward on Penglai Immortal Island.
She could then roam the Primordial Wilderness, acquiring resources and opportunities.
Therefore, a close alliance and cooperation between the two sides would be the best option.
"Fellow Daoist, you truly have excellent observation skills, seeing through Poor Daoist so clearly in such a short time."
Poor Daoist have agreed to this alliance.
I wish us success in our alliance and joint exploration of the Great Dao.
However, for the good of both of us, it would be best to make Great Dao Vow.
As expected of someone who had achieved great mastery of the Path of Cowardice/Prudence, the Queen Mother of the West did not forget to use the Great Dao Vow to bind both parties in the end.
"We are both beings of the same kind, and you, fellow Daoist, have already discerned Poor Daoist true nature in such a short time."
This Great Dao Vow must be made; it will benefit both of us.
This also prevents both of us from keeping secrets, doesn't it?
Lei Ze had no objection to making Great Dao Vow; on the contrary, he strongly supported it.
After the two masters of the Path of Cowardice/Prudence achieved great success, they made Great Dao Vow to form an alliance, promising to share their knowledge without reservation.
Both sides were in good spirits and exchanged information.
At the same time, they couldn't help but set their sights on the Dong Wang Gong.
Dong Wang Gong: Am I even human? Am I even human?
Hongjun has designs on me, Taiqing has designs on me, and you two cowardly kings still have designs on me!
That guy Dong Wang Gong is really pathetic; he hasn't even made a name for himself in the Primordial Wilderness yet.
They had already been targeted by various powerful beings.
This situation is even worse than that of the kind-hearted Hong Yun from the Primordial Wilderness.
Hong Yun was rescued by Taiqing, and has completely escaped his original fate.
The Dong Wang Gong did not know whether his fate would be worse than before or better.
Too many powerful figures have made their moves against him.
"This Penglai Immortal Island serves as the Daoist Arena of the Dong Wang Gong."
"In order for this Poor Daoist to cultivate in Penglai, I have no choice but to plot against Fellow Dong Wang Gong."
