"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jun Tian. You have finally attained great freedom."
East King Duke understood, so he nodded slightly and said with a quiet laugh.
The Jun Tian Daoist looked as if he had been reborn, but his cultivation was no longer at the peak of Sagehood, as Hongjun's had been. He had even fallen from the rank of Sage and was now a Primordial Golden Immortal. Yet the laws and aura surrounding him were serene, and he had already reached the peak of Primordial Golden Immortal. He should be able to attain Primordial Grand Unity at any moment.
Sure enough, Jun Tian spoke again: "A thousand years from now, I will attain Primordial Grand Unity in the Chaos. Would you be willing to come and witness it, Fellow Daoist?"
Seeing how utterly confident Jun Tian Daoist was, East King Duke nodded to himself and replied, "I will."
The two did not talk for long before East King Duke left Purple Skies Palace and returned to the Primordial World.
Outside Chentang Pass, Li Jing brought Nezha before Ao Guang and asked him what had happened.
Nezha was still as unconcerned as ever. "That little loach ran his mouth and even dared to insult me, but he was no match for me. I took his dragon hide and sinews, and was just about to offer them to Father."
Li Jing was so furious after hearing this that he trembled and pointed at Nezha, unable to speak.
Ao Guang, standing atop the giant waves, was livid as well. He roared, "What a vicious, arrogant brat! You killed my son and still show no remorse. Li Jing, since you failed to raise your son properly, I'll deal with him myself. But the people of Chentang Pass will be buried alongside you both!"
