Hong Yuan showed nothing on the surface, merely nodding calmly. "No need to be so polite, Fellow Daoist. Your gains are also a good thing for me."
Afterward, Hong Yuan followed Yang Mei into Yang Mei's dojo.
Once they were seated, Yang Mei poured Hong Yuan a cup of Spirit Tea.
"This Spirit Tea may not be a Chaos Spiritual Root, but it has quite a distinctive flavor. Fellow Daoist, why not give it a try?"
Hearing this, Hong Yuan picked up the Spirit Tea before him and took a sip.
The moment he drank it, his eyes lit up.
It tasted like green apples.
It felt like drinking apple juice.
As for the effects of the Spirit Tea, those were secondary.
Seeing Hong Yuan's expression, Yang Mei smiled. "If Fellow Daoist likes it, this old Daoist can give you the Tea Tree."
"Forget it. It's fine to have it occasionally, but too much is no good." Hong Yuan waved his hand.
He then set down his teacup, looked at Yang Mei with a smile, and asked,
"I wonder what insights Fellow Daoist Yang Mei has regarding the Primordial Wilderness?"
Yang Mei knew this concerned Hong Yuan's attitude toward him. After hesitating briefly, he voiced his thoughts.
"This old Daoist is actually quite satisfied with such changes. Although we were born in Chaos, if possible, I still prefer days like these. Fellow Daoist, you know that while Chaos is good, it is also rather lifeless."
"Moreover, the current Primordial Wilderness is blessed by the Law Power and remains of the Three Thousand Demon Gods, along with Fellow Daoist Pangu's sacrifice in transforming himself into all things. The Primordial Wilderness may not lack an opportunity to transcend in the future. Cultivating here might even allow us to gain enlightenment and advance another step!"
Hearing that, Hong Yuan's expression gained a hint of amusement. He sized Yang Mei up and smiled. "I never expected Fellow Daoist Yang Mei to think so highly of the Primordial Wilderness. That truly surprises me."
Yang Mei smiled at that. "Isn't Fellow Daoist the same?"
Hong Yuan lifted his teacup and took another sip. "I'm different from you. After all, my elder brother went through countless hardships to open this Primordial Wilderness. As his younger brother, I should help him look after it. Besides, I have some connection to the Primordial Wilderness. Otherwise, why do you think it is called the Primordial Wilderness?"
Yang Mei froze upon hearing this.
"Hong Yuan? Primordial Wilderness?"
After silently repeating those words several times, Yang Mei suddenly came to a realization.
He had actually overlooked this Causality.
That was right.
When Pangu named the Primordial Wilderness, he had taken one character from Hong Yuan's name.
It had to be said that Pangu truly doted on Hong Yuan, his younger brother.
Yang Mei understood that, with this Causality,
Hong Yuan was the fated half-master of the Primordial Wilderness.
As for why only half?
That depended on Hong Yuan's future plans.
Thinking of this, Yang Mei could not help feeling envious of Hong Yuan.
"Fellow Daoist truly makes one envious!"
"It's nothing. I'm just a little luckier than most, that's all. Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Hong Yuan waved casually, as though it were some utterly trivial matter.
Yang Mei: "..."
If he could have beaten Hong Yuan, he would have slapped him twice today.
Listen to the nonsense you're saying!
After remaining silent for a long time, Yang Mei finally forced out a sentence. "Fellow Daoist... truly has a carefree nature."
Hong Yuan raised an eyebrow. "After all, this is my own home. I can do whatever makes me happy. Being more casual is more comfortable, too."
Yang Mei: "..."
Faced with Hong Yuan's second round of this, he actually had no idea how to respond.
He could only force out a smile.
Then he began drinking his tea.
Not to mention, this tea was truly tea.
Watching the famed Space Demon God of Chaos be rendered speechless by him, Hong Yuan was delighted beyond measure.
If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author. It may have simply been renamed!
But Yang Mei's refusal to take the bait also made him feel a little bored.
It had not been easy to run into an acquaintance. They could not just keep sitting here like this.
After thinking for a moment, Hong Yuan suggested, "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, how about we discuss the Dao?"
After all, Yang Mei was the Space Demon God. Although, after his disintegration, both his Root Foundation and his mastery over the Space Law had greatly declined,
and his cultivation had only barely been rebuilt to the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm,
he was still one of the few Chaos Demon Gods who retained memories of his previous life.
His understanding of the Space Law was still far beyond Hong Yuan's.
When Yang Mei heard this, the corners of his lips curved upward.
So what if Hong Yuan's cultivation was higher than his?
So what if his background was greater?
When it came to the Space Law, Hong Yuan was merely a little brother!
Rather than discussing the Dao, Yang Mei felt that Hong Yuan was more likely seeking his guidance.
Still, Yang Mei was happy to offer Hong Yuan some pointers.
After all, unlike Chaos Demon Gods such as himself, who had died and cultivated anew, Hong Yuan had not entered the Immeasurable Calamity before this. Neither his Root Foundation nor his origin had been damaged. Furthermore, he was the Heaven-appointed half-master of the Primordial Wilderness.
According to the heavenly secrets Yang Mei had deduced, the Primordial Wilderness would surely evolve a set of rules in the future.
Rules like those of the Great Dao.
They could also be called Heavenly Dao Rules.
Yet even if the Primordial Wilderness evolved its Heavenly Dao in the future, its authority might not necessarily surpass Hong Yuan's.
Thus, in Yang Mei's eyes, Hong Yuan's rise was only a matter of time.
Befriending him would also benefit Yang Mei's future development in the Primordial Wilderness.
"It is exactly what I desire. How could I dare refuse?"
Seeing Yang Mei agree, Hong Yuan immediately manifested the Space Law he had comprehended.
Yang Mei did not hold anything back either.
He gave Hong Yuan his suggestions and shared his own insights into the Space Law.
In this way, the two discussed the Dao for several Yuan Hui.
After this discussion, Yang Mei's opinion of Hong Yuan changed somewhat.
He had originally believed that this discussion would mostly consist of him guiding Hong Yuan.
Yet unexpectedly, Hong Yuan's views on certain details even benefited him.
After another Yuan Hui had passed,
Yang Mei looked at Hong Yuan and could not help sighing. "If Fellow Daoist had been born a little earlier, the title of Space Demon God might have belonged to someone else long ago!"
Hong Yuan waved his hand with a smile. "Forget it, forget it. I cultivate too many different things. That title would be useless to me."
Yang Mei froze when he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist cultivates other Laws as well?"
"Fellow Daoist didn't know?" Hong Yuan was also taken aback.
He had assumed that after discussing the Dao for so many years, Yang Mei should have at least made some guesses.
Yet seeing Yang Mei's astonished expression, he realized that he had apparently overestimated Yang Mei.
On second thought, that was normal.
After all, Yang Mei was only at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. No matter how formidable he was, there was no way he could probe a Primordial Golden Immortal like Hong Yuan.
After considering it briefly, Hong Yuan directly manifested the Law of Strength.
The instant Yang Mei saw the Law of Strength Hong Yuan had manifested,
his expression changed drastically. His heart was filled with shock, and he could not help crying out,
"Law of Strength?!!"
Feeling that power again, Yang Mei seemed to see that man wielding the World-Opening Axe, slaughtering until heaven and earth darkened and Chaos shattered.
Even after countless years, Yang Mei still felt chills running down his back.
