"Fellow Daoist, since you have already left the Primordial World, why have you returned?"
In the chaos beyond the Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Hongjun stood facing a mysterious figure.
"Hmph, Hongjun, you know why I came today. As long as you let me take him away, I will leave at once."
The mysterious figure showed no fear whatsoever before Hongjun, who had merged with the Heavenly Dao.
"It seems we must have a battle today! If you can defeat me, you may naturally take him away!"
Endless divine laws emanated from Dao Ancestor Hongjun's hands. As his fingers danced, every spirit treasure he had distributed to everyone flew before him.
The great powers of the Primordial World watched as their spirit treasures vanished without a trace and cried out in alarm.
"Where is my spirit treasure?!"
"My huge spirit treasure just disappeared?!"
"..."
The mysterious figure in the chaos saw hundreds of spirit treasures circling Dao Ancestor Hongjun, yet remained completely fearless.
"Haha! Hongjun! I have now attained the Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Great Dao, equal to the Heavenly Dao itself. Why would I fear you?"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not refute him. With a casual motion, he took out the Pangu Banner, and endless chaotic sword qi shot toward the mysterious man.
The mysterious man did not react. The chaotic sword qi passed through him like illusions, yet his true body was completely unharmed.
Then, with a light wave of his hand, the mysterious man took away the Pangu Banner.
Seeing this, the Dao Ancestor did not panic. Another Xiantian Supreme Treasure appeared in his hand: the Taiji Diagram.
The Taiji Diagram transformed into a golden bridge and descended upon the mysterious man to suppress him.
Yet unfortunately, with another wave of the mysterious man's hand, the Taiji Diagram was taken away beyond control.
"How is this possible?"
Hongjun found it difficult to accept. He immediately unleashed all his spirit treasures at once.
The Shanhe Sheji Diagram, the Red Embroidered Ball, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation...
One spirit treasure after another radiated dazzling golden light as they attacked their opponent.
Yet faced with so many treasures attacking him, the mysterious man remained incomparably calm.
His sleeve expanded in the wind, and countless treasures were drawn into it.
"What? Take out more treasures!"
After taking all of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's treasures, the mysterious man asked smugly.
"I have lost!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice was extremely low, his expression dark. There was no helping it. This man's cultivation had reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Great Dao. Even after merging with the Heavenly Dao and exhausting all his treasures, Hongjun could do nothing to him.
"Since that is the case, I will return these treasures to you!"
Unexpectedly, the mysterious man actually returned the treasures to Hongjun.
Hongjun did not continue fighting after recovering his lost spirit treasures. With a wave of his hand, countless spirit treasures returned to their owners in the Primordial World.
"I came today only to take him away. I have no interest in meddling in the Primordial World's troublesome affairs. I hope you will also keep your promise!"
Hearing this, Hongjun could only look at the other party with innocent eyes. He was furious, but he could not defeat him.
"Ah, forget it!"
"Yang Mei, do not get too pleased with yourself. We still do not know whether that little fellow is willing to leave with you!"
That was right. The one who had fought Hongjun was Yang Mei, who had attained the Dao in the chaos.
Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Yang Mei laughed heartily. "Whether he is willing to leave with me, I want to hear it from his own mouth. Do not interfere!"
"You do not know this, do you? Xuan Yi is already married. His wife is even a saint appointed by the Heavenly Dao, and she has already become a saint. Are you going to split them apart?"
At this point, Hongjun was no longer flustered. So what if he could not defeat Yang Mei? If the child was unwilling, could Yang Mei really force him to leave?
"What? Xuan Yi already has a Dao Companion! And she is a Heavenly Dao Saint?"
Yang Mei was equally shocked. All these years, he had devoted himself to cultivation in the chaos so that he could take Xuan Yi away sooner. He had never expected that Xuan Yi had already started a family.
"This is troublesome!"
Yang Mei, who had been full of confidence moments ago, no longer felt certain. A Heavenly Dao Saint could not leave the Heavenly Dao. He could not possibly ask Xuan Yi to abandon his Dao Companion. Yang Mei found it far too difficult.
"Ah, forget it! Forget it!"
"Hongjun, I wish to meet Xuan Yi and his Dao Companion. If Xuan Yi is unwilling to leave, I will not force him."
Left with no choice, Yang Mei compromised.
"Fine, Yang Mei. I hope you will keep your word. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will never let you forcibly take Xuan Yi away!"
After saying that, Hongjun sent his voice toward the Primordial World. "Xuan Yi, bring Nuwa to the chaos."
On Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa and Xuan Yi were discussing the strange matter of the spirit treasures suddenly disappearing and then suddenly returning.
"Perhaps Father is the only one in the Primordial World capable of such a thing. But why would Father take away the spirit treasures?"
Just as everyone was puzzled, Hongjun's voice entered their ears.
"Father is calling for us? Let us go!"
Xuan Yi and Nuwa hurriedly flew toward the chaos.
Within the chaos, Hongjun and Yang Mei stared at each other with wide eyes, neither willing to speak. Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Xuan Yi arrived with Nuwa.
"Greetings, Father!"
Xuan Yi and Nuwa cupped their hands and bowed upon seeing Hongjun.
"Xuan Yi, I summoned you today because of this man!"
Following the direction Hongjun pointed, Xuan Yi saw an elderly man with the bearing of an immortal.
"This junior is Xuan Yi. May I ask who Senior is?"
The man who had been imposing and domineering before Hongjun now seemed somewhat at a loss when faced with Xuan Yi's question, unsure how to speak.
Perhaps seeing Yang Mei's awkwardness, Hongjun secretly rejoiced inwardly but still spoke.
"Xuan Yi, I once told you that you were born from the Primordial Chaos Bead merging with the one that escaped the Heavenly Dao, combined with the blood essence of two other great powers. He is one of those great powers."
"He is also your father!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi and Nuwa were greatly shocked and immediately bowed down in worship.
"Your child, Xuan Yi, greets Father!"
"Your daughter-in-law, Nuwa, greets Father!"
Seeing Xuan Yi acknowledge him, Yang Mei was overwhelmed with excitement. Even Hongjun no longer seemed quite so unpleasant to him.
Yang Mei hurriedly helped them both up. "Good children! Good children! Quickly, rise!"
As he carefully examined Xuan Yi and Nuwa, Yang Mei grew happier the more he looked at them.
As expected of his own child, Xuan Yi was so handsome. His daughter-in-law was also stunningly beautiful. The two of them truly were a match made in heaven.
"Xuan Yi! Daughter-in-law! Since this is our first meeting, Father has not brought any particularly good gifts. Take these things instead!"
In his delight, Yang Mei activated the Law of Space. A gray stone and a spiritual root slowly appeared.
"Xuan Yi, this is a fragment of the Primordial Chaos Bead, which Father obtained while traveling through the chaos. Your true body is the Primordial Chaos Bead. If you refine it, your physical body can reach the level of a Xiantian Supreme Treasure."
"Daughter-in-law, this is the Yellow Middle Plum, one of the ten great Xiantian spiritual roots. I give it to you as a gift for our first meeting!"
As a supreme great power, Yang Mei had only given his child such modest gifts. This made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
"It is truly because Father has been focused on cultivation all this time. Also, I returned all the spoils I took from defeating Hongjun just now. But do not worry, child. Next time, Father will definitely bring you eighty or a hundred Xiantian Supreme Treasures to make it up to you."
Just as Hongjun had begun to feel a little more favorably toward Yang Mei, he immediately became so angry that he blew his beard and glared. What was this supposed to mean? Saying such things before the children, was Yang Mei showing off that he was stronger?
Hongjun immediately undermined him in anger. "Next time? When will next time be? A dignified Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Great Dao gives such pitiful gifts. I would be embarrassed to tell anyone!"
"You, Hongjun, you..."
Hongjun's words left Yang Mei somewhat unable to save face. He immediately slapped himself, and two masses of radiant light flew from his body before entering Xuan Yi and Nuwa.
"This contains Father's understanding of the Law of Space. You may use it to comprehend the Law of Space."
One had to know that Yang Mei was now a Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Great Dao, and he specialized in the Law of Space. This gift was more precious than dozens of Xiantian Supreme Treasures.
"Thank you, Father!"
Xuan Yi and Nuwa hurriedly bowed down again.
"Father originally intended to take you away, but seeing that you are living well in the Primordial World, I have abandoned that thought. This is a willow branch from Father's true body, the Space Willow. Keep it with you. If danger arises, Father can instantly reach your side through this item."
In the end, Yang Mei gave up on taking Xuan Yi away.
"Your child has one more question and hopes Father can answer it!"
After accepting the willow branch, Xuan Yi looked at Hongjun and Yang Mei and asked.
"May the two Fathers tell me who the other great power was that brought about my birth?"
Xuan Yi voiced the question that had troubled him for a long time.
