Nuwa Molds Earth to Create Humans, Xuanxiao Takes Over (2)

And so, Xuanxiao, Fuxi, and Nuwa arrived on Penglai Island together. Xuanxiao said, "Empress Wa, please wait a moment. I'm going back to get some Breathing Soil." With that, he tore through space and arrived at the Daoist Palace on Kunlun Mountain, shouting, "Who? Who dares steal my Breathing Soil?"

This shout startled Laozi, who was refining pills, nearly causing him to blow up his furnace. He immediately appeared in Xuanxiao's Daoist Palace and said, "Xiao'er, why such a strong reaction?"

Xuanxiao, with a crestfallen face, said, "Uncle, please help me calculate where my Breathing Soil went. I only have this little bit left for growing gourds, and I have important uses for it."

Laozi was speechless. "Your Daoist Palace doesn't have any defensive formations set up?"

Xuanxiao scratched his head. "I only set up a spirit-gathering formation, not one for preventing theft."

Laozi chuckled. "Then this is troublesome. Where Saintly Might covers, Heavenly Secrets are obscured, making divination difficult. However, the earth element energy in Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's Daoist Palace is abundant, so it's possible he did it."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxiao was enraged. He thought, Hmph, you damned rabbit, daring to steal my Breathing Soil? With this thought, Xuanxiao directly headed to Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's cave dwelling and shouted, "Chang'er, come out!"

A young man with red eyes and a pale face emerged. "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

Xuanxiao asked, "Chang'er, tell me the truth, have you been to my Daoist Palace recently?"

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal rubbed his head. "Senior Brother, I did take some Breathing Soil from the Daoist Palace to cultivate my earth element techniques, but I truly didn't know that Daoist Palace was yours."

Xuanxiao nodded. "You've just confessed! Hurry and return my Breathing Soil."

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal scratched his head. "The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil has absorbed the earth element energy from me and can no longer be used... Look, can we just let it go?"

Xuanxiao directly placed his hand on Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's shoulder. "You've got some nerve, daring to steal from my Daoist Palace. Let's go to Shangqing Palace and settle this."

Not long after, in Shangqing Palace, Xuanxiao said to Tongtian, "Father, your disciple stole my Nine Heavens Breathing Soil from my Daoist Palace. You can't just ignore this."

Tongtian looked at Chang'er. "Did you go to your Senior Brother's Daoist Palace and steal things?"

Chang'er Dingguang Immortal explained, "Master, I didn't know it was Senior Brother's Daoist Palace. I thought someone was bragging. Who told him not to set up a defensive formation?"

Xuanxiao was speechless. "Of course, my Daoist Palace has always been on Kunlun Mountain. This is our own territory, with two Saints here. How could I imagine someone would dare to randomly take things from my Daoist Palace? Father, are you going to deal with this or not? If you don't, I'll have roast rabbit for dinner."

Tongtian was also helpless. He thought, What to do? It's just some spiritual item. Let's smooth things over. With that thought, Tongtian said, "Ignorance is no crime. I'll punish him with ten thousand years of seclusion, how about that?"

Xuanxiao was unconvinced. "The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is no ordinary item. I have important uses for it. And this is all? No, he hasn't returned the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and I won't let this matter go today."

Tongtian was speechless and transmitted his voice to Xuanxiao. Xiao'er, it's not worth it. The Intercepting Sect has just been established. Severely punishing a disciple at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, I can't bear to do it.

Xuanxiao transmitted back, He even dares to steal from my Daoist Palace, who knows what other trouble he'll cause in the future. Keeping him is just nurturing a troublemaker. Killing him would be best. In his heart, he thought, If it were another junior brother, I might let it slide. But this Chang'er rabbit, I've wanted to get rid of him for a long time. I've finally found a reason, and I won't stop until I kill him today.

While the father and son were arguing through voice transmission in their sea of consciousness, a sound of children's voices came from Xuanxiao's Daoist Palace again. It turned out the Gourd Babies had landed.

Sensing the Gourd Babies' arrival, Xuanxiao said, "Father, keep an eye on Chang'er. This matter isn't over. I have something to deal with, and I'll settle with him when I get back."

Tongtian said to Chang'er, "Go back to your Daoist Palace and face the wall. Be very careful not to be caught by your Senior Brother, or you'll surely die."

Inside the Daoist Palace, Xuanxiao looked at the seven bouncing little brats in front of him, each with a small gourd on their head, all with Golden Immortal cultivation. He laughed heartily. "You were all grown by me. From now on, you can call me Adoptive Father. Later, I'll teach you a formation. If anyone comes here to take things without permission, you little guys beat them up. Do you understand?"

The pink little gourd baby said, "We understand, don't worry, Adoptive Father."

Seeing that the Gourd Babies had been born, Xuanxiao first used the Breathing Soil for growing gourds. He thought, After creating humans, I'll deal with that rabbit later. No rush. Don't keep Fuxi and Nuwa waiting too long.

"Ding, to prevent the host from forgetting things, a mission has been issued: Kill Chang'er Dingguang Immortal. Reward: High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Mountain-Splitting Axe." In the System space, a Mature Woman casually issued a mission.

"Don't worry, this rabbit is as good as dead. I said so, and even Father can't stop me," Xuanxiao muttered as he flashed towards Penglai.
