It's Just That My Luck Is a Bit Better

But Hong Yuan showed nothing on the surface, merely nodding with a calm expression: "Fellow Daoist, no need to stand on ceremony. If you have gained something, that is a good thing for me as well."

After that, Hong Yuan followed Yang Mei to his dojo.

Once they were seated, Yang Mei poured Hong Yuan a cup of Spirit Tea.

"This Spirit Tea, though not a Chaos Spiritual Root, still has a certain flavor. Fellow Daoist, please try it."

Hearing this, Hong Yuan picked up the tea before him and took a sip.

As he drank, his eyes lit up.

It was still green apple flavored.

It felt like drinking apple juice.

As for the Spirit Tea's effects, they were secondary.

Seeing Hong Yuan's expression, Yang Mei smiled and said, "If Fellow Daoist likes it, this old Daoist can gift you the Tea Tree."

"Forget it. It's fine to taste occasionally, but too much is worse than too little." Hong Yuan waved his hand.

Then he set down the teacup, looked at Yang Mei with a smile, and asked.

"I wonder what insights Fellow Daoist Yang Mei has regarding this Primordial Wilderness?"

Yang Mei, seeing this, knew it concerned Hong Yuan's attitude toward him. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke his mind.

"This old Daoist is actually quite satisfied with this change. Though we were born in the Chaos, if possible, I prefer this kind of life. Fellow Daoist, you also know that while the Chaos is good, it is rather lifeless."

"Moreover, with the laws and corpses of the Three Thousand Demon Gods supporting the current Primordial Wilderness, along with Pangu Fellow Daoist's sacrifice in transforming into all things, the Primordial Wilderness may one day have a chance to transcend. Cultivating here might even grant us some insights and allow us to take a step further."

Hearing this, Hong Yuan's expression grew more playful. He sized up Yang Mei and laughed: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Yang Mei to hold the Primordial Wilderness in such high regard. That surprises me a bit."

Yang Mei smiled in return: "Isn't Fellow Daoist the same?"

Hong Yuan lifted his teacup and took another sip: "I am different from you. After all, this Primordial Wilderness was opened up by my Elder Brother through immense hardship. As his Younger Brother, I should help him look after it. Not to mention, the Primordial Wilderness has some connection to me. Otherwise, why do you think it is called the Primordial Wilderness?"

Yang Mei was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

"Hong Yuan? Primordial Wilderness?"

After silently reciting the names a few times, a look of sudden realization dawned on Yang Mei's face.

He had never thought of this Causality.

That was right.

When Pangu named the Primordial Wilderness, he took a character from Hong Yuan's name.

It had to be said, Pangu truly doted on his blood brother Hong Yuan.

He understood that, by virtue of this Causality.

Hong Yuan was the destined half-master of the Primordial Wilderness.

As for why only half?

That depended on Hong Yuan's future plans.

Thinking this, Yang Mei couldn't help but feel a trace of envy toward Hong Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist, you truly are enviable."

"It's nothing. Just a bit of good fortune, hardly worth mentioning, hardly worth mentioning." Hong Yuan waved his hand casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Yang Mei: "..."

If he weren't no match for Hong Yuan, he would have given him two big slaps today.

Look at the way you talk—is that human speech?!

After a long silence, Yang Mei finally forced out a sentence: "Fellow Daoist... you are truly carefree."

Hong Yuan raised an eyebrow: "After all, it's my own home. I'll do as I please. Being a bit casual makes things more comfortable."

Yang Mei: "..."

Faced with Hong Yuan's double blow, he found himself at a loss for words.

He could only force a smile.

And began to drink his tea.

Say what you will, this tea was really tea.

Watching the famed Space Demon God of the Chaos rendered speechless by him, Hong Yuan was secretly amused.

But Yang Mei not picking up his thread also made things a bit dull.

It was rare to run into an acquaintance, and just sitting there wasn't ideal.

So Hong Yuan thought for a moment and then suggested: "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, how about we engage in a discussion of the Dao?"

After all, Yang Mei was the Space Demon God. Though after his dissolution, his foundation and mastery of the Space Law had greatly declined.

His cultivation had only barely been restored to the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

But he was one of the few Chaos Demon Gods who had retained memories of their past life.

His insight into the Space Law still far surpassed Hong Yuan's.

Upon hearing this, the corner of Yang Mei's mouth curled into a slight arc.

So what if his cultivation was higher?

So what if his background was greater?

When it came to the Space Law, Hong Yuan was nothing but a junior!

In Yang Mei's view, rather than discussing the Dao, Hong Yuan was more like someone seeking his guidance.

Still, Yang Mei was happy to give Hong Yuan some pointers.

After all, Hong Yuan was not like those Chaos Demon Gods who had perished and reincarnated. He had not entered the previous Immeasurable Calamity, his roots and origin remained undamaged, and he was, by Heaven's decree, the greater half-master of the Primordial Wilderness.

According to the Heavenly secrets he had deduced, the Primordial Wilderness would one day evolve a set of rules.

Rules akin to the Great Dao.

They could also be called the Heavenly Dao Rule.

However, even if the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness evolved in the future, it might not necessarily hold more authority than Hong Yuan.

Thus, in Yang Mei's eyes, Hong Yuan's rise was only a matter of time.

Building a good relationship with him would also benefit Yang Mei's own future development in the Primordial Wilderness.

"Since it is what I have long wished for, I dare not refuse."

Seeing Yang Mei agree, Hong Yuan directly manifested the Space Law he had comprehended.

Seeing this, Yang Mei did not hold back either.

He offered Hong Yuan his own suggestions and insights regarding the Space Law.

And so, the two discussed the Dao for several Yuan Hui.

After this exchange, Yang Mei's view of Hong Yuan had changed.

He had originally thought that this discussion would mostly involve him guiding Hong Yuan.

But unexpectedly, Hong Yuan's perspective on certain details even brought him some gains.

After another Yuan Hui passed.

Yang Mei looked at Hong Yuan before him and could not help but remark, "If you had been born a bit earlier, Fellow Daoist, the Space Demon God would have long since been replaced!"

Hong Yuan waved his hand and laughed. "Forget it, forget it. My cultivation is too scattered. That title would be useless to me."

Hearing Hong Yuan's words, Yang Mei was momentarily stunned.

"You cultivate other Laws as well?"

"Fellow Daoist didn't know?" Hong Yuan was also taken aback.

He had thought that over the years of discussing the Dao, Yang Mei would have at least guessed something.

But seeing Yang Mei's surprised expression, he realized he might have overestimated him.

Thinking it over, it made sense.

After all, Yang Mei was only at the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm. No matter how impressive he was, he could not possibly probe into the cultivation of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Hong Yuan thought for a moment, then directly manifested the Law of Strength.

Seeing the Law of Strength Hong Yuan had manifested, Yang Mei's expression shifted dramatically, shock filling his heart, and he could not help but cry out.

"The Law of Strength?!!"

Feeling that power once more, Yang Mei seemed to see the man who had wielded the World-Opening Axe, slaughtering until the heavens went dark and the chaos shattered.

Even after countless ages had passed, Yang Mei still felt a chill running down his spine.
