East Prince Gong Courts Queen Mother of the West

After running into trouble with Fuxi and Nuwa, East Prince Gong went to Kunlun Mountain.

He naturally wasn't going to try and win over Laozi and the others. The Four Pure Ones were, as expected, allied with the Heavenly Dao, so he certainly couldn't join them.

Upon arriving at Kunlun Mountain, East Prince Gong directly released his divine sense, instantly alerting numerous Great Powers.

East Kunlun.

The Four Pure Ones were discussing the path of the Quasi-Saint. Upon sensing East Prince Gong's aura, their brows furrowed.

"Why has East Prince Gong come?" Tongtian asked, confused.

"Perhaps... to try and win us over?" Li Shou said softly from the side.

Yuanshi nodded upon hearing this. "It's possible. Elder Brother, what do you think?"

"What do I think? He already went to West Kunlun, and you're asking me what I think..." Laozi finished, causing Yuanshi and the other two to blush.

What is this East Prince Gong playing at!

Are the Four Pure Ones not worth recruiting?

But it seems that's indeed the case... Of the four of them, only Laozi had broken through to the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm. The other three were still at Grand Unity Perfection.

It wasn't that they didn't want to break through, but rather that they lacked particularly good spiritual treasures.

As the legitimate descendants of Pangu, they had to use Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to sever their negative karma, lest they fall behind.

The three spiritual treasures formed from the Creation Green Lotus, which secretly aligned with the will of heaven, were perfect for severing karma, but they were snatched away by the Ancestor Witches.

Among the seven treasure gourds nurtured by the Innate Gourd Vine, several should have belonged to the Four Pure Ones, but they were also seized by Chen Tian.

Damn the Witch Clan!!

"Ahem, why don't we go see what East Prince Gong is up to?" Tongtian suggested.

"I think that's fine too," Yuanshi naturally agreed.

Who knew if East Prince Gong would do something to harm their Kunlun Mountain.

This trip was for the countless living beings within Kunlun Mountain!

Laozi and Li Shou had no objections, and then the Four Pure Ones all headed towards West Kunlun.

West Kunlun.

East Prince Gong had already found Queen Mother of the West's dojo, Yao Chi Wonderland.

"I request fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West to come out for a chat," East Prince Gong called out to the void.

Yao Chi Wonderland was shrouded in mist, with Innate spiritual springs tinkling and exotic flowers and plants growing everywhere.

Queen Mother of the West had long sensed East Prince Gong's arrival. She was currently seated on the Jade Terrace, her slender jade-like hands gently stroking the Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner bestowed by Hongjun.

Her temperament was dignified and noble, her face was cold and clear, and a moon-like radiance flowed around her.

Hearing East Prince Gong's voice, she slightly raised her eyes, a hint of helplessness and understanding flashing in the depths of her pupils.

What is meant to come, will eventually come.

"Fellow Daoist East Prince Gong has arrived in person. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar," Queen Mother of the West's clear and melodious voice rang out, and the restrictions of Yao Chi Wonderland opened layer by layer.

She did not rise to greet him, her posture perfectly measured, showing neither disrespect nor a lack of status.

East Prince Gong transformed into a beam of immortal light and landed before the Jade Terrace. Seeing Queen Mother of the West's demeanor, a flicker of displeasure crossed his eyes, but it was quickly masked by a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West is too kind," East Prince Gong cupped his hands, his gaze quickly sweeping over Queen Mother of the West's stunning beauty and graceful figure. His heart couldn't help but flutter.

As expected of one of the top goddesses in the Great Desolation. This aloof and refined aura is far beyond that of ordinary Female Immortals.

If I could gain her assistance, or even... take her as my Dao companion, the luck of the Immortal Court would surely soar!

He suppressed the lustful thoughts in his heart and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist must already know that I, by the grace of the Dao Ancestor, hold the position of Head of Male Immortals and have established the Immortal Court in Penglai, East Sea."

"Fellow Daoist is the Head of Female Immortals, holding the Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner and commanding the Female Immortals. Our duties are similar."

"I have come this time to discuss a grand plan with Fellow Daoist."

Queen Mother of the West's expression was calm. "Oh? How does Fellow Daoist wish to discuss this plan?"

East Prince Gong took a step forward, his tone fervent. "Currently in the Great Desolation, the Witch Clan is barbaric, the Demon Clan is rising, and myriad races are in constant conflict."

"Our Immortal Court and the lineage of Female Immortals under Fellow Daoist both belong to the righteous path of the Xuanmen. Why not join forces? Share resources and support each other."

"At that time, with the combined strength of Male and Female Immortals, the orthodox Xuanmen will flourish, and we can firmly establish ourselves in this chaotic world and protect all beings!"

He spoke with grand pronouncements, but his gaze involuntarily lingered on Queen Mother of the West.

Queen Mother of the West sneered inwardly, but her expression remained unchanged.

"What Fellow Daoist says is indeed reasonable. However, the lineage of Female Immortals prefers tranquility and does not involve itself in disputes."

"I am trusted by the Dao Ancestor and hold this banner. I should also abide by my duties, maintain purity, and should not rashly engage in conflict or get involved in calamities."

Queen Mother of the West had already politely refused.

East Prince Gong's smile slightly faded. "Fellow Daoist, your words are mistaken. In this Great Desolation, where is there truly a place of pure tranquility?"

"Does that Witch Clan savage care if you're a male or female immortal? Does that Demon Court's Tai Yi, with his boundless ambition, intend to let Kunlun Mountain, this blessed land, go unchecked?"

"Fellow Daoist is the head of the Female Immortals, and I am the head of the Male Immortals. We two can complement each other. If you join my Immortal Court..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.

Joining his Immortal Court would align with the will of heaven, allow her to enjoy the fortune of the Immortal Court, and greatly increase her cultivation speed.

Queen Mother of the West toyed with the plain-colored Cloud Realm Banner in her hand. Misty clouds flowed across its surface. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said:

"Fellow Daoist's Immortal Court is newly established, and I imagine you are busy with affairs. My Yao Chi is remote and humble; I dare not keep Fellow Daoist here for long."

This was a direct dismissal.

East Prince Gong's expression finally turned grim.

Being rejected repeatedly, anger surged within him.

Fuxi and Nuwa were one thing; after all, they had great fame and strength, giving them the capital to be arrogant.

But this Queen Mother of the West, merely relying on a treasure bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, truly thought herself someone important?

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West," East Prince Gong's voice turned colder, "I sincerely invite you, yet you repeatedly refuse. Are you perhaps looking down on me, the Head of Male Immortals, and looking down on the Dao Ancestor's decree?"

He brought up Hongjun, attempting to force the Queen Mother of the West to comply.

The Queen Mother of the West looked up, her clear, cold eyes meeting East Prince Gong's gaze, a hint of scrutiny in them.

Because their origins complemented each other, the Queen Mother of the West had met East Prince Gong a few times and exchanged a few casual words.

In her memory, East Prince Gong was not this arrogant and conceited. How had he become like this now?

The Queen Mother of the West didn't think too much about it, attributing the change to the corrupting influence of power. She said calmly:

"I naturally obey the Dao Ancestor's decree. However, the Dao Ancestor commanded me to govern the Female Immortals and maintain purity. He did not command me to obey the Head of Male Immortals, nor did he command me to merge with the Immortal Court."

"If Fellow Daoist wishes to use force to pressure me, please go to Zixiao Palace and ask the Dao Ancestor for clarification."

She and East Prince Gong were equals.

Even though her cultivation was only at the early Quasi-Saint stage, inferior to East Prince Gong's, she would not allow him to oppress her.

East Prince Gong felt a surge of anger stuck in his throat upon hearing this. He was about to speak again.

Suddenly, the clouds outside the Yao Chi immortal realm stirred, and four streams of pure light descended, transforming into the figures of the Three Pure Ones and Li Shou.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist East Prince Gong is here too?" Tongtian Cult Master was the most direct. As soon as he landed, he boomed, his gaze sweeping between East Prince Gong and the Queen Mother of the West.

Laozi's expression was unreadable, Yuanshi frowned slightly, and Li Shou's eyes flickered as he observed secretly.

Seeing the arrival of the Four Pure Ones, the Queen Mother of the West felt a slight relief. She stood up and nodded slightly, "So it's the four Fellow Daoists. Please sit."

East Prince Gong cursed inwardly, knowing that his efforts today were futile.

With the Four Pure Ones present, many of his methods would be inconvenient to use. Moreover, judging by Tongtian's demeanor, he was clearly here to watch the show.

"Since the four Fellow Daoists have come to visit, I shall not intrude further."

East Prince Gong forced a smile and said to the Queen Mother of the West.

"I hope Fellow Daoist will reconsider my words today. The great trend of the Great Desolation cannot be avoided by merely looking after oneself."

He glanced at the Four Pure Ones again, lingering for a moment on Laozi, and said with an unreadable expression:

"Although Kunlun Mountain is good, it is not a paradise detached from the world. All Fellow Daoists should also make plans early."

With that, he transformed into a beam of immortal light and fled. However, as he departed, his gaze fiercely swept over the Queen Mother of the West, his ambition and desire almost unconcealed.

Tongtian let out a scoff, "This East Prince Gong really thinks highly of himself."

Yuanshi cupped his hands to the Queen Mother of the West, "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, you have been disturbed."

The Queen Mother of the West returned the courtesy, "It's nothing. Thank you for coming, four Fellow Daoists."

She knew clearly in her heart that the Four Pure Ones' arrival, though ostensibly a visit, was actually a statement of their stance: Kunlun Mountain was not a place where East Prince Gong could run amok.

This, in an intangible way, had helped her avoid a calamity.

Laozi spoke slowly, his voice calm, "East Prince Gong is impatient for quick success and instant benefits; he is not a good match. Fellow Daoist's caution is correct."

The Queen Mother of the West nodded, "Fellow Daoist speaks the truth."

Li Shou listened from the side, his thoughts racing.

He clearly saw East Prince Gong's intentions towards the Queen Mother of the West.

It seemed this Immortal Emperor not only wanted to consolidate his forces but also wanted to take both the person and the territory.

However, the Queen Mother of the West was clearly not someone to be trifled with, so East Prince Gong's plan was unlikely to succeed.

But... that look in East Prince Gong's eyes as he left suggested he wouldn't give up easily.

In the Yao Chi, immortal tea wafted gently. The Great Powers present seemed to be chatting idly, but in reality, each harbored their own thoughts.
