At the same time.
In the Primordial World.
The Three Pure Ones gathered at Taiqing's dojo on Mount Shouyang to discuss how to invite Wu Tian over and settle the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.
The three brothers sat down, staring at one another in silence.
They suddenly realized that ever since they had split up on Kunlun Mountain, this was the first time the three brothers had gathered alone. A sense of sudden realization arose within them...
Taiqing sighed inwardly.
Then he said to Yuanshi:
"Second Brother, Third Brother has agreed to come with me to invite Wu Tian this time. Will you join us?"
The Three Pure Ones acting together.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
But Yuanshi refused outright!
"You two can go if you want. I'm not going..."
The Investiture of the Gods was the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao. Yet I, a dignified Heavenly Dao Saint, had to go beg Wu Tian and humbly ask for his permission. Was that reasonable?
It was simply absurd!
There was another point Yuanshi muttered to himself... one he was too embarrassed to say aloud. He felt that his relationship with Wu Tian was extremely tense. Things might go smoothly without him, but his presence could very well ruin everything...
Yuanshi could not guarantee that he would be able to suppress the anger in his heart when faced with Wu Tian's sarcastic remarks.

Taiqing opened his mouth, intending to say something more... but Yuanshi had already risen to his feet. He snorted at Tongtian, then declared loudly:
"Third Brother will be accompanying you anyway!"
"Third Brother has always been close to Wu Tian, closer than brothers. With Third Brother taking action this time, success is assured..."
