Xuanxiao Curses You, Why Am I the One Getting Hurt?

Xuanxiao and the Daoist Yin-Yang discussed the Dao for an entire Eon.

After their discussion ended, the Daoist Yin-Yang looked at Xuanxiao with an extremely complicated expression.

Over the course of this Eon, the Daoist Yin-Yang's state of mind had undergone a tremendous transformation.

At first, he had enjoyed instructing others. Later, he had conversed with Xuanxiao as an equal, until finally, he had sincerely sought guidance from Xuanxiao.

His Dao heart had also been reshaped countless times throughout the process.

Xuanxiao's comprehension of the Yin Yang Great Dao was astonishing. At first, he had known nothing about it, but in merely one Eon, he had not only mastered the Yin Yang Great Dao—his cultivation had even surpassed that of the Daoist Yin-Yang.

Yet the Daoist Yin-Yang had spent dozens of Chaos Kalpas reaching his current realm.

Standing before Xuanxiao, the Daoist Yin-Yang could not help feeling ashamed of his inferiority. He had never experienced such a powerful sense of defeat while interacting with any other Innate Divine Being.

"Fellow Daoist, in terms of talent, innate foundation, and affinity with the Yin Yang Great Dao, you are the pinnacle among all living beings I have ever seen.

"If I hadn't personally witnessed you starting from knowing nothing about the Yin Yang Great Dao, it would be extremely difficult to believe that you could achieve such results in a single Eon."

The Daoist Yin-Yang looked at Xuanxiao with a complicated expression. Although he had repeatedly consoled himself not to compare himself with a "monster" like Xuanxiao, his words still carried a sour note when they left his mouth.

After hearing this, Xuanxiao waved his hand and said,

"This is nothing. The Yin Yang Great Dao is indeed somewhat difficult. Spending an entire Eon to achieve a little success is really not ideal." As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully, as if taking an entire Eon to master it were an extremely shameful matter.

The Daoist Yin-Yang's expression instantly froze when he heard this.

"Heh heh, Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao, stop teasing me. Reaching the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm in the Yin Yang Great Dao within a single Eon is already terrifying beyond measure. You're still not satisfied?"

Xuanxiao merely smiled and did not answer.

Naturally, he would not tell the Daoist Yin-Yang that he had not devoted himself entirely to cultivating the Yin Yang Great Dao during this Eon. Most of his effort had gone into integrating the Yin Yang Great Dao into his own Thunder Great Dao.

If he had simply cultivated the Yin Yang Great Dao, Xuanxiao's ability would have made an entire Eon completely unnecessary.

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, I've troubled you for long enough. It's time for me to continue traveling through the Primordial Wilderness."

Xuanxiao had just risen to his feet when he hesitated. He looked at the Daoist Yin-Yang.

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, considering the friendship we've formed through discussing the Dao during this time, I'll give you some guidance."

The Daoist Yin-Yang immediately became extremely serious.

"I humbly ask Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao to enlighten me."

Xuanxiao was Pangu's younger brother, so he surely knew many secrets of the Primordial Wilderness.

"If Hongjun comes to invite you to help him in the future, you must be more cautious." Xuanxiao spoke with a solemn expression.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun? Could he be plotting against me?" The Daoist Yin-Yang looked utterly astonished.

He and Hongjun had a deep friendship. When they had fought the Fierce Beasts before, they had fought side by side and formed a close bond. It was truly difficult for him to believe that Hongjun would harm him.

Looking at the bewildered Daoist Yin-Yang, Xuanxiao shook his head.

"Hongjun may not have such intentions, but the one above him might. In any case, you must be extremely cautious about Hongjun's invitation." As he spoke, Xuanxiao curled his lips disdainfully.

In Xuanxiao's view, Hongjun might have no intention of plotting against the Daoist Yin-Yang, but the Heavenly Dao was another matter.

Although the Heavenly Dao had no intelligence, it instinctively rejected existences carrying the aura of Chaos.

Innate Divine Beings like the Daoist Yin-Yang had all been tainted by the aura of Chaos to some extent. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, they were all targets that needed to be cleansed.

Most of the first batch of Innate Divine Beings in the Primordial Wilderness had perished. Only three had survived, but the fates of those three were not particularly good either.

Yang Mei had been forced to leave the Primordial Wilderness. Luo Hou had transformed into the Demon Realm and could no longer enter the Primordial Wilderness. Hongjun had become the representative of the Heavenly Dao and was trapped in Zixiao Palace.

Now, throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness, only Xuanxiao was beyond the Heavenly Dao's reach because of his identity as Pangu's younger brother and the Heaven-Opening Merit he possessed.

Otherwise, Xuanxiao believed that the Heavenly Dao would certainly find every possible way to deal with him.

Just as Xuanxiao finished speaking, an enormous eye suddenly appeared in the void.

"The Heavenly Dao!" The Daoist Yin-Yang looked at the giant eye in the void, and his heart instantly filled with fear.

"Why has the Heavenly Dao suddenly descended? Could it be that the 'one above' Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao mentioned just now was referring to the Heavenly Dao?" The Daoist Yin-Yang was thrown into complete panic.

Xuanxiao did not care what the Daoist Yin-Yang was thinking. The instant he saw the Heavenly Dao, blazing fury ignited in his eyes.

"Good! I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've delivered yourself to my doorstep!" Xuanxiao clearly remembered that when he had first been born and taken human form, he had been harshly punished by the Great Dao because the Heavenly Dao had "snitched" on him.

How could Xuanxiao ever forget such enormous humiliation?

Now that his enemy stood before him, his eyes burned with hatred.

"Heavenly Dao, if you've got the guts, strike me directly! If you don't, I'll look down on you!" Xuanxiao shouted.

"Heavenly Dao, you miserable little—"

"Has Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao gone mad? He actually dares to provoke the Heavenly Dao so openly. Could it be that he truly has no fear?" The Daoist Yin-Yang had already been frightened by the Heavenly Dao's arrival. Seeing Xuanxiao act so recklessly, he was completely dumbfounded.

The Heavenly Dao in the void seemed to have truly been enraged by Xuanxiao. Countless tribulations instantly surged around the giant eye.

Seeing this, Xuanxiao instead revealed a smug smile.

"Heh heh heh, this Heavenly Dao really has no brains. I was able to control its tribulations last time, yet it still dares use the same move against me. Let's see how I deal with it this time."

However, just as Xuanxiao was preparing to act, the tribulations in the void instantly vanished. Only a bolt of Purple Firmament Divine Thunder remained, striking down with overwhelming speed.

"Crack!"

"Ah!!!" Accompanied by a scream, the Daoist Yin-Yang's hair instantly stood on end beside Xuanxiao, and his body turned dull and gray.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao was insulting you! Why did you strike me??" The Daoist Yin-Yang was filled with grievance, and his entire being was plunged into extreme shock and bewilderment.

If the Daoist Yin-Yang had been a modern person, he probably would have cried out indignantly, "Heaven, please distinguish loyalty from treachery!"

Unfortunately, the one who had struck him was precisely the "Vast Heaven" of this Primordial World—the Heavenly Dao.

"Damn Heavenly Dao, it even learned how to launch sneak attacks!" Xuanxiao looked at the miserable Daoist Yin-Yang beside him, his face also filled with astonishment.

The Heavenly Dao in the void seemed extremely satisfied with the result and then vanished without a trace.

Xuanxiao continued furiously cursing in the direction where the Heavenly Dao had disappeared, but this time, the Heavenly Dao seemed to turn a deaf ear and did not appear again.

Yet another Purple Firmament Divine Thunder suddenly appeared in the void and once again struck the innocent Daoist Yin-Yang without mercy.

This time, black smoke spewed from the Daoist Yin-Yang's mouth. Clearly, his injuries were extremely severe.

"Bah! You don't dare come out anymore, do you? Do you still deserve to call yourself the Heavenly Dao?" Xuanxiao continued to curse without relenting.

Seeing that Xuanxiao was about to keep cursing, the Daoist Yin-Yang did not dare hesitate. He exerted all his strength and directly covered Xuanxiao's mouth with his hand.

"Mmph, mmph..." With his mouth covered, Xuanxiao struggled desperately.

But to preserve his life, the Daoist Yin-Yang used every ounce of strength he possessed and actually managed to suppress Xuanxiao temporarily.

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, please show mercy! I don't want to die here today!" The Daoist Yin-Yang pleaded almost tearfully.

The Daoist Yin-Yang had finally understood. Because of the causal connection, the Heavenly Dao could not do anything to Xuanxiao, but it could use him—someone causally connected to Xuanxiao's words—as a target.

At this rate, if he took another seven or eight strikes, he would probably return his soul to Heaven and Earth.

To preserve his life, the Daoist Yin-Yang could no longer worry about anything else.

At this moment, Xuanxiao finally realized that he had a pitiful friend beside him.

Looking at the Daoist Yin-Yang's miserable state, he could not help feeling awkward. He had been so focused on arguing with the Heavenly Dao that he had completely ignored the person beside him.

Xuanxiao asked cautiously, "Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, are... are you all right?"

Hearing Xuanxiao's question, the Daoist Yin-Yang's heart was full of complaints. What do you think? You cursed to your heart's content, but I suffered for it. You had your fun, while I'm the one who ended up miserable.

Of course, he did not dare say that aloud. He forced out a smile uglier than crying and said,

"Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao, I'm fine. But please, Fellow Daoist, stop cursing. Otherwise, I really might lose my life here."

Looking at the Daoist Yin-Yang's forced smile, Xuanxiao knew that he was not being honest. He also understood that this truly was his fault.

Looking at the unlucky Daoist Yin-Yang, Xuanxiao did not dare curse anymore. He was afraid that if he kept going, the Daoist Yin-Yang might truly be sent away by him.

Xuanxiao dared not try again. After all, if he did, the Daoist Yin-Yang might go from merely trying it out to dying for real.

"Well... Fellow Daoist, I'll be leaving first. Think carefully about what I said earlier." After saying this, Xuanxiao vanished before the Daoist Yin-Yang could respond.

However, Xuanxiao's departing figure appeared somewhat disheveled.

Seeing that Xuanxiao had finally left, the Daoist Yin-Yang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Whew, it's good that he left. If he hadn't, I might have been sent away."

"But what Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao said earlier probably wasn't baseless. It seems I'll have to be much more careful in the future. If necessary, I'll leave the Primordial Wilderness. But surviving in Chaos is difficult. Unless absolutely necessary, I should still remain in the Primordial Wilderness." The Daoist Yin-Yang sighed helplessly before continuing his secluded cultivation.

Meanwhile, Xuanxiao left the Daoist Yin-Yang's Dao arena and only stopped after he could no longer see the place.

"I nearly got Yin Yang horribly injured. This Heavenly Dao is far too treacherous. Since it couldn't strike me, it vented its anger on someone else. It seems that next time I curse the Heavenly Dao, I'll have to stay far away from crowds. Otherwise, accidentally injuring a friend will be troublesome." Xuanxiao muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and an eerie smile like that of a great villain appeared on his face.

"Wait, if I curse the Heavenly Dao from the sidelines while fighting someone, will the Heavenly Dao strike my opponent? If it really works, wouldn't the Heavenly Dao become a weapon of destruction in my hands within the Primordial Wilderness? Whenever I find someone displeasing, I'll simply curse the Heavenly Dao in front of them. Just imagine the scene—the opponent would definitely look utterly hopeless."

At the thought, Xuanxiao became somewhat excited, as if he could already see that amusing scene.

Xuanxiao raised his head toward the void and said solemnly, "Heavenly Dao, little brother, I misunderstood you before. So you really are the one who treats me best. From now on, you're my beloved friend, my sworn brother. If anyone wants me to deal with you... they'll have to pay extra!"

If the Heavenly Dao truly possessed intelligence, hearing such shameless words from Xuanxiao would probably have made it so furious that smoke poured from all seven orifices.

"Oh right, I nearly forgot about the important matter. I have to hurry and find my three nephews. If I'm too late and they leave after developing intelligence and taking human form, it'll be troublesome." Xuanxiao finally remembered the purpose of his visit to Kunlun Mountain. After choosing a direction, he hurried away.
