Primordial Wilderness: I Repeatedly Offered Poisonous Schemes! Houtu Advised Me to Calm Down

Under the entanglement of qi, he had no way to resist, and just as he was about to despair.

Suddenly, three sharp cries rang out.

"Who are you, daring to commit violence here!"

"Senior brother, we've come to help you!"

Zhao Gongming, however, was alarmed rather than pleased, and cried out in shock.

"No, retreat quickly!"

Yet, he had shouted too late. The three golden immortals, like divine consorts and celestial maidens with clouds and mists billowing around them, had just charged in.

Chu Xuan turned his hand and pressed them down with the dimmed Sea Calming Divine Beads. The heavy Great Earth Law bore down, and he didn't even bother to refine the beads; he mostly used their inherent sturdiness to carry the law.

Boom—

The Great Earth Law cascaded down like a waterfall.

The three immortals were instantly suppressed.

In the blink of an eye, like stars drawing in satellites, they were pulled directly onto the Sea Calming Divine Beads.

Chu Xuan's true body, hundreds of thousands of zhang tall, smiled as he groped the 'planet.' The Sea Calming Divine Beads trembled.

The three immortals on top were spun dizzy and disoriented.

The Great Earth Law pressed down, nearly forcing them to manifest their cloud-and-mist true forms.

As radiant light filled the sky, the three immortals were drawn in by Chu Xuan's massive hand. He pinched their true forms lightly with his fingers.

They were like three terrified little cloth-doll figures.

Mm, soft, much like the material of Queen Mother of the West's Cloud Bed not long ago.

A thought flashed through Chu Xuan's mind.

Just then, Zhao Gongming spoke urgently.

"Friend, please stop!"

"These are three junior sisters. They didn't know we were discussing the Dao!"

Seeing this, Chu Xuan took the opportunity to back down. He withdrew the Great Earth Law and released the three women.

His true body shrank continuously, returning to normal.

He looked at the three women, who only he could see beneath the law's radiance—disheveled and blushing deeply—and kept his gaze straight ahead, laughing heartily.

"Naturally, I knew that, so I didn't strike hard!"

But before he finished, one of the green-robed immortals snapped angrily.

"What do you mean, didn't strike hard? You dared to pinch..."

Before she could finish, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao interrupted her together.

"Third Sister!"

Chu Xuan pretended not to understand.

"What do you mean, fellow daoists? My true body is vast, so capturing you is like playing with toys!"

"Ah, I see. You Primordial Spirit cultivators value dignity. But no matter, I'm only one realm above you, still a Lesser Shaman, at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal stage. I can't see through your law radiance, so no offense is given."

He truly hadn't meant it—after all, he wouldn't just lust on first sight. The key was that his cultivation and insight were too high.

Even ordinary techniques became extraordinary under the amplification of his Dao, causing chain reactions.

Given his current realm and persona, he naturally couldn't admit to anything.

The Three Firmaments exchanged glances and gradually came to their senses.

They felt they had been overthinking things.

Ps: New book in its seedling stage!

The little author begs for flowers, begs for tips, begs for monthly tickets, begs for evaluation tickets, begs for comments—all support is welcome!

Chapter 37: Opportunity Arrives! The Battle of East Prince Gong and Kunpeng! (Beg for flowers and monthly tickets)

The Great Earth Law pressed down, rubbing the planet, making their true forms suffer all sorts of indignities. Even his fingertips pressed against their true bodies, leaving them blushing deeply and barely able to maintain their Innate Dao forms. In their panic, they subconsciously overlooked this.

Now thinking it over, he was only a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. If he hadn't cultivated a different Dao, how could he easily see through their law radiance?

Only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could use the Dao to govern the Dao and comprehend all laws. (Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals are on the same level and can't easily see through each other. Even ordinary Quasi-Saints can't.)

The three women thought this and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yunxiao stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"I am Yunxiao of the Three Firmaments. Greetings, friend. We acted rashly earlier!"

"We saw our senior brother in dire straits and instinctively moved to help. Please forgive us!"

Chu Xuan waved his hand magnanimously.

"No matter!"

"I merely felt a hunter's thrill at the sight of prey!"

"Daoist Gongming's Twelve Sea Calming Divine Beads possess a power like mountains and seas, as if twelve heavens were crashing down!"

"It was only under the surge of emotion that I struck out at you all!"

"I should have explained the reason long ago!"

Beside him, Zhao Gongming's face lit with delight, basking in the praise from a fellow cultivator of the same realm who had just bested him.

After all, such words depended on who spoke them—if Chu Xuan offered the compliment, he naturally felt it was genuine.

He promptly demurred with repeated "I dare not," launching into mutual flattery, praising the other's Wu Clan True Body as worthy of its fame across the Primordial Wilderness.

Seeing this, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao found the Wu clansman before them humble and courteous, despite the earlier misunderstanding.

But now, with the realization that he was of the Wu Clan, the contrast only highlighted their own shortcomings.

Only Bixiao, from the start, had an unsettled gaze, nursing some doubt in her heart.

"Though the law radiance intermingled, the laws earlier seemed utterly crushed—the feel should have been real!"

Yet despite her inner suspicion, seeing that no one else pressed the matter, she held her tongue.

"Right, a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal shouldn't be able to suppress our laws to such a degree!"

Meanwhile, Daoist Duobao approached as well, sitting down with the group to discuss the Dao, their conversation flowing amiably.

"Daoist Chu Xuan's might is astonishing, able to suppress Junior Brother Gongming's Twelve Sea Calming Divine Beads—even I, with cultivation slightly above his, dare not face those beads in normal times; it's as if the great god Pangu himself were alive!"

"One can almost glimpse a trace of Pangu's bearing from this!"

His words flattered two people at once, delighting all the guests.

Only Chu Xuan, though smiling outwardly, felt a quiet sigh inwardly.

"As expected, this Daoist Duobao is no simple figure on the surface!"

"Originally, I wanted to spar with him, but I ran into Zhao Gongming instead, and he shifted the focus to him!"

"Still, it makes sense—I'm a guest here to discuss aid, and he's the Shangqing Grand Disciple; a win or loss would look bad either way!"

"A pity—I'd planned to suppress Duobao, let Guangchengzi mock him, and add some fuel to the Three Pure Ones' split!"

Indeed, Chu Xuan had hidden his cultivation, claiming mere friendly exchange, but he harbored ulterior motives.

Though he now invested in the Three Pure Ones, it was for the Wu Clan's future.

Not out of genuine goodwill.

He had to plan for what lay ahead.

A single Karma couldn't stretch far; more schemes were needed to bind them.

If the Three Pure Ones remained united, their need for the Wu Clan would inevitably wane.

A divided Three Pure Ones made for good Three Pure Ones.

Once they split, even if they became sages, their leverage over the Wu Clan would diminish.

To prevent butterfly effects, or perhaps from an instinct to place his pieces early, Chu Xuan had casually woven this calculation.

But as it stood, part of it had fallen through.

Guangchengzi lacked brains, but Duobao didn't seem so.

The future Buddhist World-Honored One?

Chu Xuan's gaze flickered.

He was about to speak.

But just then, in the distant heavens, beyond the Three Pure Ones Secret Realm, a terrifying clash of great Daos stirred countless laws of heaven and earth.

It seized the attention of everyone present, and even the entire Primordial Wilderness.
