As soon as Taiqing entered the Innate Great Formation, Yuqing and Shangqing sensed his aura.
"Big Brother is back!"
Shangqing Lingbao excitedly spread out his divine sense and saw that familiar figure, whose presence had changed completely.
"Big Brother really broke through. No wonder Third Brother and I sensed something earlier."
Yuqing Yuanshi also spread out his divine sense and sensed the unique aura of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal emanating from Taiqing.
Even Yuqing Yuanshi, with his consistently steady temperament, could not help crying out in excitement.
The Sanqing were one. Their eldest brother had achieved his wish, broken through to become a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and embarked upon the Law Path to Sainthood. They were sincerely delighted for him.
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother!"
Before Taiqing had even entered the core area, the joyful voices of Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao rang out in his mind.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, I'm back."
Hearing his two younger brothers call out to him, Taiqing immediately relaxed, feeling as though he had returned home.
Throughout this journey, his nerves had remained constantly taut.
Whether it had been the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun keeping an eye on him, or Old Ancestor Wuxing pursuing him—
all of it had kept him on edge.
At this moment, all that pressure vanished.
He even faintly felt that his state of mind had risen to another level.
"Big Brother, you have been gone for quite a long time this time.
Once Third Brother and I are born, we will roam the Primordial Wilderness with you.
We Sanqing are one, so we should advance and retreat together.
I wonder what fascinating events Big Brother encountered while traveling through the Primordial Wilderness this time.
Why not share them with Third Brother and me?"
Yuqing Yuanshi, who had always been composed, seemed to have opened a floodgate today, relentlessly questioning Taiqing.
"That's right, that's right, Big Brother. You've been gone for more than ten Eons this time.
Share some of the wonders of the Great Desolation World with Second Brother and me."
Shangqing Lingbao spoke excitedly as well.
His two younger brothers, who had yet to be born, surrounded Taiqing and questioned him just like the younger brothers he had had in his previous life as a mortal.
"Alright, I'll tell Second Brother and Third Brother all about what I saw during my travels through the Primordial Wilderness."
Taiqing vividly recounted everything he had seen and experienced during this journey through the Great Desolation World.
When he spoke of how he had truly encountered the will of Pangu Father God—
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao both revealed expressions of immense envy.
Both lamented that if they had been born earlier, they too could have seen the will of Pangu Father God.
When they learned that Pangu Father God had asked their eldest brother to look after them as well as the Twelve Ancestral Witches—
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao were astonished to learn that they had twelve other siblings.
The two of them began imagining what the Twelve Ancestral Witches might look like.
Seeing that his two younger brothers bore no hostility toward the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Taiqing could not help nodding.
This was precisely the result he wanted.
He did not want his two younger brothers to be hostile toward the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The descendants of Pangu were already in a difficult position in the Primordial Wilderness. If they still fought among themselves, they would be playing right into the hands of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
What Taiqing wanted was for the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches to stand united against the Heavenly Dao and Old Thief Hongjun.
But thinking about it, he had already received instructions from the will of Pangu Father God.
Pangu Father God had told him to care for the other Two Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
That was equivalent to Pangu Father God clearly instructing that the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were one and should remain united.
How could Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao possibly doubt the instructions of Pangu Father God's will?
Yuqing Yuanshi did not seem as lofty and aloof as the Yuanshi Tianzun I remembered from my previous life, looking down on every living being in the Primordial Wilderness.
Could there be something I do not know?
Could it be the influence of the Heavenly Dao or that bastard Hongjun?
Taiqing was puzzled. The Yuanshi Tianzun he knew from his previous life and his Second Brother before him seemed like entirely different beings.
Their temperaments and thoughts were not cut from the same mold at all.
Still, Taiqing was happy with this. The current Yuqing Yuanshi was far more aligned with the interests of the Sanqing.
If Yuqing Yuanshi were like the Yuanshi Tianzun in his memories, would he not offend every other living being in the Primordial Wilderness?
If that happened, the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches would be even more isolated and helpless in the Primordial Wilderness.
Next, Taiqing spoke of being pursued by Old Ancestor Wuxing and Old Thief Hongjun.
Yuqing and Shangqing both cried out in alarm, their concern unmistakable.
"That bastard Hongjun has some nerve, daring to pursue you, Big Brother.
Once the cultivation of us Sanqing rises, we will make sure he cannot bear the consequences!"
Yuqing Yuanshi spoke in extreme fury, wishing he could be born immediately and beat Old Thief Hongjun senseless.
"Big Brother, Old Thief Hongjun has a lot of nerve. You do not know this.
The moment you left, that old thief Hongjun came to Kunlun Mountain.
That bastard had the audacity to collude with the Heavenly Dao, using Heavenly Dao Power to break through the Innate Great Formation and enter the place where we Sanqing were being nurtured.
He intended to harm us Sanqing!
Fortunately, you went to Buzhou Mountain early. Otherwise, we Sanqing might already have fallen victim to the schemes of Old Thief Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao!"
Shangqing Lingbao was equally furious as he described how Old Thief Hongjun had entered the Innate Great Formation.
"What?!"
Upon hearing his Third Brother's words, Taiqing's aura erupted uncontrollably as rage instantly overwhelmed him.
"Old Thief Hongjun, what enormous gall! Who gave him the courage to enter the place where we Sanqing are being nurtured?
Was he not afraid that we bear Merit of World Creation, or that the Great Dao would send down Thunder to punish him?
Fine, fine, fine! Old Thief Hongjun, if I do not avenge this grudge, how can I, Taiqing, stand in this Primordial Wilderness?
How can I answer to Pangu Father God after failing to protect my Second Brother and Third Brother?"
Fire nearly blazed from Taiqing's eyes as he looked toward Jade Capital Mountain and swore in his heart that he would completely kill Old Thief Hongjun.
Old Thief Hongjun's actions were simply lawless.
And the Heavenly Dao had actually acted so openly against the Sanqing.
He was no longer worthy of being the lofty Heavenly Dao.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, are you alright? If the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun caused either of you the slightest harm—
I, Taiqing, swear that even if I must perish and have my Dao extinguished, I will find a way to utterly destroy the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun!"
Taiqing looked worriedly toward the Origin where Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao were being nurtured.
He was not joking. Since the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun had acted in such a manner—
he did not believe that if he wept and begged the will of Pangu Father God to intervene—
the will of Pangu Father God would remain unmoved.
"Big Brother, do not worry. Third Brother and I are fine.
Not only are we fine, but Third Brother had a sudden inspiration and used the Merit of World Creation we possess to make Hongjun pay a heavy price.
You have no idea how miserable that old thief Hongjun looked when he left. He could not have been more pathetic."
Afterward, Yuqing and Shangqing told him how they had used Merit of World Creation to severely injure Old Thief Hongjun and force him to flee.
"So that's what happened. I understand now."
After hearing his two younger brothers' account, the doubts Taiqing had long harbored were finally resolved.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, you did exceptionally well.
You did a great service for your elder brother and for this Primordial Wilderness!
All living beings in the Primordial Wilderness should thank you.
The countless living beings of the Primordial Wilderness must repay this Causality to you two in the future."
Taiqing could not help giving his two younger brothers a thumbs-up.
