The Heavenly Dao is Unjust! Siblings Know the Great Dao's Favored Children

With a shrill scream, Taiyi plummeted straight down from mid-air.

Di Jun was struck with terror; he hurriedly channeled the River Map and Luo Scroll, transforming them into a streak of light as he rushed forward to catch the heavily wounded Taiyi.

Seeing his younger brother's breath grow deathly faint, Di Jun felt a heart-wrenching pain. He immediately mobilized his own Sun Origin Mana, pouring it continuously into Taiyi's body to heal his wounds and stabilize his Dao foundation.

At this moment.

The Three Pure Ones, Red Cloud, Kunpeng, and the other great mighty figures present all gasped in unison, their scalps tingling as they witnessed Taiyi's miserable state.

How could they not understand by now? Whoever dared to attack Tianlu, this Pixiu, would immediately be struck down by the punishment of the Heavenly Dao!

Yet, their hearts were filled with utter confusion.

Was it not said that the Heavenly Dao was perfectly impartial?!

Why was it that when Tianlu the Pixiu snatched their opportunity, they could not fight to take it back? The moment they tried, the Heavenly Dao would instead strike them down with Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

Why the double standard?

If the Heavenly Dao knew of the grief and indignation in their hearts right now, it would likely only reply with a helpless sigh.

If you have the ability, go reason with the Great Dao yourselves!

In reality, the Heavenly Dao was feeling aggrieved to the extreme at this moment.

As the Heavenly Dao operated, it knew full well that this Xiantian Gourd Vine was not meant for Tianlu, but was a destiny belonging to the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others—yet, it was powerless to act.

Due to the rules, Tianlu was the darling of the Great Dao, carrying the fortune of the Great Dao within him. Any living being that harbored malice toward him would trigger an automatic backlash from the Rules of the Heavenly Dao. Even if the Heavenly Dao were unwilling, it had to hold its nose and obey the rules, protecting this shameless Pixiu.

Watching Taiyi, who had been struck into a wretched state, Tianlu retracted his ten-thousand-foot-tall Pixiu true form, returning to the size of a tiger.

He did not step on a Cloud Treasure; instead, he stood upon the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus, looking down at the disheveled divine beings around him with a merciless, mocking laugh.

"Fellow Daoists, it seems the Heavenly Dao itself agrees that the opportunity of this Xiantian Gourd Vine belongs to me."

"If you insist on going against the heavens and trying to snatch it by force, then being struck by the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning is only what you deserve!"

Hearing Tianlu's taunts—profiting from them while acting the victim—the Three Pure Ones and the others were furious enough to jump with rage.

But looking at the purple-black tribulation clouds still faintly churning in the firmament, they were forced to swallow their anger.

The situation was now clear: with the Heavenly Dao showing such unreasonable favoritism, this Xiantian Gourd Vine was destined to be beyond their reach.

Staying any longer would only be inviting humiliation, or worse, another lightning strike. The Three Pure Ones and the other divine beings exchanged glances.

With helpless sighs, they each performed their escape techniques, turning into streaks of light to return to their respective dojos.

In the blink of an eye, the once-noisy mountainside of Mount Buzhou was left with only Tianlu, and the two who had yet to make a move: Nuwa and Fuxi.

Fuxi, dressed in black Daoist robes with a gentle and scholarly air, exchanged a look with Nuwa, who was draped in seven-colored celestial silk and looked dignified and beautiful. The two stepped forward.

Looking at Tianlu, they appeared hesitant, as if they had much to say. They truly could not fathom why the Heavenly Dao would protect Tianlu so boundlessly.

As soon as Tianlu saw their expressions, he knew what they were thinking and burst into hearty laughter.

"I, Tianlu, am the Child of the Great Dao, the darling of the Great Dao!"

"I govern the fortune and prosperity of the world, controlling the luck of all things. In this Primordial World, I travel unimpeded; all opportunities and creations follow my will!"

Just as Tianlu spoke, a wisp of brilliant, dazzling Profound Yellow Law of Merit began to overflow uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.

Nuwa and Fuxi were already shocked by Tianlu's arrogant words, but seeing the Profound Yellow Law of Merit spilling from his lips, they were left completely stunned.

Nuwa's eyes were filled with confusion and shock as she could not help but ask.

"Fellow Daoist Tianlu, what earth-shattering deed have you performed to possess such a vast amount of merit?"

Fuxi also stared intently at Tianlu, secretly attempting to divine the truth, only to find that Tianlu's fate was obscured by a supreme mist, making it impossible to peer into.

Tianlu, however, waved his hand dismissively, not caring about exposing the secret of his heaven-defying innate ability.

"It is merely from swallowing the fruit of a top-grade Xiantian spiritual root. My innate ability allows me to exhale boundless merit whenever I consume the fruit of a top-grade Xiantian spiritual root."

Once these words were spoken, Nuwa and Fuxi were too shocked to speak.

Eating Xiantian fruit could spontaneously generate Profound Yellow Law of Merit?!

This completely shattered the iron law of the Primordial World, which dictated that merit could only be obtained through great contributions. Such an ability that ignored the rules was heaven-defying to the extreme.

But as the two thought about it, Tianlu had just claimed to be the Child of the Great Dao, the darling of the Great Dao.

Since even the Heavenly Dao had to hold its nose and protect him under the rules of the Great Dao, it did not seem so strange that he possessed an ability that defied common sense.

Nuwa calmed her racing heart and sighed with genuine emotion.

"Fellow Daoist is truly worthy of being the Child of the Great Dao after the Great God Pangu. Such fortune and creation are truly beyond our reach."

Hearing this, Tianlu laughed and waved his hand modestly.

"You flatter me, you flatter me."

With a smile, Tianlu suddenly channeled the power of the space within his belly and spat.

A brilliant celestial light flashed, and a Xiantian gourd, flowing with golden luster and inscribed with natural divine runes of the laws, hovered steadily before Nuwa.

Nuwa and Fuxi both wore expressions of confusion, looking at Tianlu in bewilderment.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"

Tianlu's expression turned serious as he looked at the two.

"You two fellow Daoists are on good terms with me, and this is fellow Daoist Nuwa's fortune. How could I possibly snatch it away?"

Upon hearing this, a warm current surged through Nuwa's heart, her eyes filled with gratitude. She solemnly bowed.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Tianlu, for bestowing this treasure."

If the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Taiyi, and Red Cloud, who had returned to their respective dojos, were to hear Tianlu's righteous words at this moment, they would surely be so enraged they'd spit blood and denounce Tianlu as shameless.

Your opportunities were all swallowed by him, why wouldn't he give them to us?!

If Tianlu knew their thoughts, he would only chuckle.

What relationship do you have with me? What relationship does Nuwa have with me? You think you're worthy of me spitting out treasures I've already eaten?

After accepting the Xiantian Gourd, Nuwa carefully put the treasure away and then exchanged a look with Fuxi.

Fuxi smiled and gently extended an invitation.

"Fellow Daoist Tianlu, the matter on Mount Buzhou is concluded today. Do you have any plans for what's next? If you're free, why not come to Fengqi Mountain for a chat?"

Tianlu heard this and lightly shook his head, politely declining the kind offer.

"I appreciate the good intentions of you two fellow Daoists, but my dojo is in the East Sea region, and I need to return to go into seclusion to break through my cultivation."

Hearing this, Nuwa and Fuxi didn't insist, bowing slightly.

"Since fellow Daoist has other plans, we won't force you. Take care on your journey."

"Fellow Daoists, we shall meet again."

"We shall meet again."
