The Great Dao Questions the Heart, Taiqing Makes Amends
Amidst the worship and cheers of countless beings, countless forces of faith converged towards the Cihang.
Cihang's already formidable strength was further amplified by these powers of faith.
Moreover, his mere appearance has already reclaimed the fortune of the South Continent.
In this South Continent, the Sanqing's foundation is ultimately too shallow, or even non-existent.
Fortunately, he returned early; if he had been delayed any longer, things might not have been so easy.
Feeling the genuine faith and respect of the beings around her, Cihang was very happy.
He ignored Xuandu and the others, and instead used his magic to shower endless holy light upon the many living beings.
Enveloped in holy light, many creatures showed joy, feeling a lightness all over their bodies, and all past injuries and hidden dangers were restored at this moment.
Many cultivators even broke through their existing realms because of this.
We express our deepest gratitude to the Cihang Lord Cihang!
In an instant, the power of faith surrounding Cihang became even more intense.
On the other hand, the longer the delay lasted, the more panicked Xuandu and the others became.
"Greetings, Cihang Lord Cihang! Congratulations on your return and your great advancement in cultivation!"
But some things can't be avoided.
Before Cihang, they didn't even have a chance to escape.
Although Cihang ignored them, her aura had already locked onto them.
"Congratulations? Doesn't that mean you hope I can never return?"
Looking at Xuandu and the others, Cihang wore a cold smile, her mockery undisguised.
Although he was unwilling to argue with these younger people, this matter was not so easily forgotten.
If things really end so easily, then Cihang would be far too easy to bully.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. We had no such intention!"
Xuandu and the others bowed with slight alarm.
The overwhelming pressure made it difficult for them to remain calm.
Although their status as disciples of sages gave them a superior position in the Primordial World, they still couldn't truly act without restraint.
"Misunderstanding? You've already come to my territory to preach and steal my fortune, and this is a misunderstanding?"
As she spoke, Cihang's aura intensified.
"Reporting to the Divine Lord, it is the duty and mission of us disciples of the Sanqing Ones to spread the Dao to all living beings."
It wasn't intentionally targeting the deity.
Moreover, this is the will of the three masters!
Under Cihang's oppressive aura, Xuandu and the others turned deathly pale.
Xuandu and the others even had to use their protective magical treasures to barely maintain their figures.
"Whether it's true or not, we both know. If you can't teach me a lesson this time, then you can stay here!"
Cihang has no intention of giving up easily this time. The Sanqing have targeted him repeatedly, and he cannot back down now.
"It is true that Cihang Divine Venerable is the ruler of the South Continent, but he is still under the Heavenly Dao."
Humanity is the protagonist of heaven and earth. We preach for the development of humanity. Has the Divine Lord ever considered the future of humanity?
Seeing Cihang's forceful attitude, Xuandu changed his previous stance and questioned her sternly.
Their cultivation level was inferior to Cihang's, but they were disciples of a sage.
Xuandu believe that Cihang would act recklessly.
Moreover, even if Cihang were to actually intervene, Master would not stand idly by.
"Humans? You, Xuandu, dare to mention humans?"
Cihang's voice grew colder, and the oppressive aura emanating from him intensified.
Among all the human races, Xuandu is almost the best in terms of both talent and opportunities, and his strength is also at the top level among the gods.
But Cihang despises the human race the most.
"Xuandu is of human origin, so he is naturally qualified to seek development for the human race!"
Protected by the Blazing Light Banner, Xuandu remained resolute, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Do you still remember that you originated from the human race?"
Do you still remember the purpose of your initial cultivation?
What have you done for the human race?
Cihang's voice contained the supreme Dao sound, directly entering the Xuandu sea of consciousness and questioning the true nature of one's heart.
Under the majestic sound of the Great Dao, Xuandu was speechless.
Xuandu was one of the first humans and possessed extraordinary talent.
But that was also the most difficult period for the human race.
He initially wanted to change the predicament of the human race and enhance its strength on his own.
But what has he ever done for the human race?
Aside from vying for power and profit Human Teachings, he did nothing else.
Not only did it fail to bring benefits to humanity, it also brought numerous calamities upon them.
Although he studied under a renowned master and achieved great success in his spiritual practice, he had long since lost his true self.
Xuandu's face grew increasingly pale, and even his cultivation showed signs of instability.
"Senior Brother Xuandu?"
"Senior brother, what's wrong?"
"Xuandu, wake up?"
Seeing Xuandu fall into self-doubt, the disciples of the Three Teachings became increasingly panicked.
They simultaneously formed hand seals and chanted calming mantras, attempting to awaken Xuandu.
However, under Cihang's profound interrogation, Xuandu gradually became more and more entangled in it.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't it a bit excessive to target a junior like this?"
Just as Xuandu's Dao Heart was about to collapse, the Blazing Light Banner suddenly shone brightly, and a wisp of Taiqing's primordial spirit manifested in the void.
Taiqing's voice not only countered Cihang's oppressive aura but also awakened Xuandu.
"Xuandu greets Master, thank you for your help!"
Xuandu's face remained pale, and his eyes still held doubt and confusion.
"Alright, there's no need for that."
"Your strength is far inferior to Fellow Daoist Cihang's; it's perfectly normal that you're not as strong as him!"
Taiqing waved his hand, scattering a beam of divine light that stabilized Xuandu's unstable state of mind.
Although Xuandu's aptitude and comprehension were not the highest among the disciples of the Three Teachings, he was the most devoted to Taiqing.
He certainly couldn't let Xuandu perish here.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, with your current cultivation level, why bother arguing with a junior?"
Taiqing turned to Cihang once again, his words filled with great dissatisfaction.
If he hadn't appeared in time, Xuandu would probably have been truly crippled.
Even so, Xuandu's Dao heart was greatly affected this time.
"Targeting? I was merely teaching a junior on behalf of my fellow Daoist, helping him rediscover his true self."
If we're talking about targeting someone, then it should be targeting fellow Daoists.
Shouldn't you give me an explanation, fellow Daoist?
Cihang was not targeting Xuandu; his target had always been Taiqing.
"How can I persuade you to let go of this matter, fellow Daoist?"
Taiqing's expression shifted several times before he finally let out a long sigh.
This time he was indeed in the wrong, and he didn't expect Cihang to actually return.
He had clashed with Cihang before, and more than once.
The outcome was undecided before, and it will be the same this time.
"Then it depends on your sincerity, fellow Daoist!"
Although Cihang said this, her gaze was fixed on the Blazing Light Banner.
"How about we offer this Blazing Light Banner, as an apology to you, fellow Daoist?"
Taiqing's expression shifted, and he ultimately made his decision.
Now that Cihang has returned, it is no longer possible for him to preach in the South Continent.
It is not appropriate to continue being their enemy when they are unable to suppress Cihang.
"Of course it's possible!"
Cihang smiled, showing no trace of the previous tension.
"Alright, then I'll give this Blazing Light Banner to you, fellow Daoist."
Leaving Blazing Light Banner, Taiqing and his disciples vanished from the spot.
