Tai Yi looked in the direction where the eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals had fled.
His elder brother Di Jun wanted to recruit subordinates, so they could simply pick up those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals ready-made.
"This...
Would taking in those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals as underlings offend Xuanqing, a far more valuable powerhouse to recruit?
After all, those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals could at most be considered cannon fodder.
Xuanqing was mysterious and powerful, and his speed was unmatched among those of the same realm.
A powerhouse like Xuanqing was the one worth recruiting."
Di Jun hesitated inwardly.
To be honest, if they could bring those eight fleeing Grand Unity Golden Immortal beings under their command,
then even if the two brothers gained no opportunities during their upcoming journey through the Primordial Wilderness,
having those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals would still be quite a harvest.
After all, the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity had only recently passed. Powerhouses were scarce, and Grand Unity Golden Immortals were hardly common goods.
Encountering eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals at once was an exceedingly rare opportunity.
If not for the birth of the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Exiled Immortal Wing—
which had drawn all these Grand Unity Golden Immortals here,
the two brothers would never have encountered so many Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
"Rest assured, Big Brother. Since Xuanqing already let those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals go,
it means he did not care about such a minor grudge at all.
Moreover, once we establish our own force,
we can place those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals under Xuanqing's command as a gesture of recruitment.
At that time, no matter how proud Xuanqing may be, with eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals as his subordinates,
he will not be able to resist such an immense temptation of power.
Besides, having Grand Unity Golden Immortals who once offended him work for him fits the revenge mentality of many beings.
That way, recruiting a powerhouse like Xuanqing will likely become much easier.
This is an excellent thing that kills two birds with one stone, so Big Brother must not hesitate any longer."
Tai Yi's analysis was perfectly logical, and Di Jun found it quite reasonable after giving it some thought.
If he hesitated any longer, those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals would vanish without a trace.
"Alright, we'll do as Second Brother says.
How about each of us takes responsibility for capturing four Grand Unity Golden Immortal beings?
Let's see which of us captures our targets first."
After thinking it over, Di Jun found his younger brother's reasoning sound and simply agreed.
"Alright. Big Brother, I'll take the four Grand Unity Golden Immortals in that direction."
"Then I'll take care of those four Grand Unity Golden Immortals."
The two brothers treated those eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals like Kunlun slaves.
They were even competing to see who could capture them first.
Eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals: So we were the clowns all along.
Xuanqing knew nothing of how Di Jun and Tai Yi treated the eight Grand Unity Golden Immortal beings like Kunlun slaves.
Even if he had known, he would not have cared.
This was the Primordial Wilderness, a world where the strong were revered and weakness was the original sin.
Taiqing and Xuanqing were still advancing along the path of seeking the Dao and growing stronger.
After obtaining the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Exiled Immortal Wing, Xuanqing began refining its restrictions.
Because the Exiled Immortal Wing was exceptionally compatible with him,
he refined the restrictions within it at an extremely fast pace.
By now, he had refined twelve restrictions of the Exiled Immortal Wing.
Innate Spiritual Treasures were divided according to the number of restrictions they contained: one to twelve restrictions made a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Thirteen to twenty-four restrictions made a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Twenty-five to thirty-six restrictions made a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Thirty-seven to forty-eight restrictions made a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The Exiled Immortal Wing was, astonishingly, a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-six restrictions.
Even among Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the Exiled Immortal Wing was among the finest.
As for the remaining thirty-four restrictions, even though Xuanqing was highly compatible with the Exiled Immortal Wing, refining them would still take a great deal of time.
If one was not compatible with a spiritual treasure, the speed of refining its restrictions would be greatly reduced, making the process exceptionally difficult.
Even a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, if it was incompatible with its owner, would take eons to refine.
Refining twelve restrictions was already enough for Xuanqing's current use.
Xuanqing no longer wasted time refining the Exiled Immortal Wing's restrictions.
There would be plenty of time to refine it later. His most urgent task now was to find Ancestor Reincarnation and learn the Law of Reincarnation.
Activating the Exiled Immortal Wing, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the vast mountains.
His speed was so great that even a Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal powerhouse would be astonished upon seeing it.
That was because Xuanqing's current speed already rivaled that of a Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal powerhouse.
This was the heaven-defying aspect of the Exiled Immortal Wing.
When driven by the Law of Speed, its speed enhancement was absurdly monstrous.
"Truly terrifying. Poor Daoist's current speed has probably surpassed my true body's speed when traveling at full force!"
Feeling the terrifying speed enhancement brought by the Exiled Immortal Wing and watching the immortal mountains and earth rush backward, Xuanqing was deeply shaken.
At the same time, a sense of ease welled up within him, like a bird soaring through the heavens or a fish leaping through the vast sea.
This was how cultivators like us ought to be.
"At this speed, I can reach that place in less than a thousand years."
Xuanqing sped toward Ancestor Reincarnation's Daoist Arena.
At the same time, Hongjun was also approaching Ancestor Reincarnation's Daoist Arena.
However, Hongjun first had to pass through Yin-Yang Ancestor's Daoist Arena, trick Yin-Yang Ancestor, and then head to Old Ancestor Yang Mei's Daoist Arena.
Only afterward would he proceed to Ancestor Reincarnation's Daoist Arena.
At this moment, outside Yin-Yang Ancestor's Daoist Arena, a figure arrived even earlier than old Hongjun.
Five Elements Law radiance flickered around this figure. It was none other than Old Ancestor Wuxing, who had come to take revenge on Old Thief Hongjun.
"Looks like Old Thief Hongjun has not yet arrived at Daoist Friend Yin Yang's place.
Perfect. Today, I will ruin your plan."
Old Ancestor Wuxing felt delighted. Ruining Old Thief Hongjun's plan made him happier than attaining the realm of Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable.
Whenever Old Ancestor Wuxing thought of how he had once sat and discussed the Dao with Old Thief Hongjun, agreeing to all sorts of things, he felt disgusted.
How had he failed to see clearly back then that Old Thief Hongjun was such a disgusting fellow?
The man truly harbored malicious intentions, saying one thing to one's face and another behind one's back.
"Daoist Friend Yin Yang, Poor Daoist Five Elements has come to visit. Why are you still hiding within your Daoist Arena?
Could it be that after not seeing each other for over a dozen eons, you have forgotten Poor Daoist, your old friend?"
Old Ancestor Wuxing sent his voice directly into Yin-Yang Ancestor's Daoist Arena rather than entering it himself.
As a mighty being's Daoist Arena, it would certainly be protected by layers upon layers of formations.
Old Ancestor Wuxing's own Daoist Arena was the same, so he naturally understood this.
Without Yin-Yang Ancestor welcoming him, rashly barging in would inevitably invite attacks from the formations.
"Who might it be? So it is Daoist Friend Wuxing. Please come in, please come in."
Yin-Yang Ancestor had an excellent relationship with Old Ancestor Wuxing.
Seeing that Old Ancestor Wuxing had come to visit, he happily opened the Daoist Arena's formations and welcomed him inside.
"Daoist Friend Yin Yang, I trust you have been well. I never expected you to have advanced to the Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm as well.
Then I must congratulate you. The Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm is already within reach."
Only after entering Yin-Yang Ancestor's Daoist Arena did Old Ancestor Wuxing carefully assess him.
As expected, Yin-Yang Ancestor had advanced to the Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, just like himself.
"Why congratulate Poor Daoist, Daoist Friend? Have you not also advanced to the Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm? The Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm is within reach for you as well."
"Hahaha, then let us congratulate each other.
But I wonder whether Daoist Friend Yang Mei has already attained the realm of Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable.
Back atop Buzhou Mountain, Daoist Friend Yang Mei had already reached the Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Now that more than a dozen eons have passed, Daoist Friend Yang Mei has likely already attained the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm."
Old Ancestor Wuxing looked toward Old Ancestor Yang Mei's Daoist Arena, his eyes filled with envy.
