Summon the Pangu Axe First; If That Isn't Enough, Summon Great God Pangu

When faced with Yuan's request for advice, Wu Chu told him about several manifestations of a rebellious mentality.

From initially being willing to try to correct things, to outwardly complying while inwardly resisting, to remaining silent and passively resisting, it will eventually turn into complete confrontation, until a total split occurs.

Originally, Tongtian had openly agreed for a long time, but behind the scenes he still did things his own way. This clearly means we've entered the second stage!

And sometimes when you criticize him, he starts responding with a cold "heh heh."

This seems even worse than remaining silent and indifferent!

Yuan Shi rubbed his temples and sighed softly, "This is really a headache!"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "I feel like you treat him more like a child than a younger brother!"

Yuanshi shook his head and said, "Although we were born around the same time and are considered brothers, he sometimes acts too recklessly, too extremely, and too recklessly... I keep an eye on him, actually for his own good, so that he won't do anything that would incur divine wrath and bring upon himself a mountain of sins in the future."

Wu Chu shook his head and said, "I think you're overthinking it, Daoist. I believe Heavenly Dao understands everything in his heart. If you look at him from a different perspective, you might have a different view. In my opinion, your adherence to rules and regulations is one way of life, Heavenly Dao's free-spirited and unrestrained nature is another. Different personalities, different paths they seek, and different paths they take are destined to be different."

Yuan Shi sighed softly, "But if we let him indulge himself like this, doing whatever he wants, I worry that it won't be long before he starts to degenerate."

Wu Chu laughed and said, "If you're worried that he'll go astray, you can observe him secretly! If you find anything wrong, you can step in to stop him then, right? I think your straightforward approach, which sometimes doesn't even show him any mercy, is not only not helpful in correcting his behavior, but may even backfire."

Seeing that Yuanshi looked thoughtful, Wu Chu felt that the current Yuanshi was not yet the Sage of heaven and earth who would later listen to advice.

If future Sage of heaven and earth begin to adhere to their own path and firmly uphold their own beliefs, then it is basically impossible to persuade them otherwise.

Why will Yuanshi and Tongtian turn against each other in the future, becoming mortal enemies?

It's because they've all become saints, and they all adhere to their own beliefs and principles, and none of them are willing to bow down to the other.

Moreover, the principles they uphold are two completely opposite ones.

This trend is already emerging.

Wu Chu wasn't sure if his words would actually help ease the tension between the brothers, but he figured he'd give it a try! It didn't cost any money, and it could even help them get closer, so why not?

This guy possesses a priceless Supreme Treasure like the Pangu Banner!

If that Old Demon still persists and comes to cause trouble in the future, then we'll borrow the Taiji Diagram from the Taishang, the Pangu Banner from the Primordial Lord, and the Chaos Bell from the Supreme Taiyi.

Laozi summon Pangu Axe, and you still won't die!

If all else fails, I'll have my wife summon the other Eleven Ancestral Witches to set up the Twelve Capitals Gods and Demons Formation, and then summon the Great God Pangu to wield the Heaven-Opening Axe and chop you down.

Just thinking about it made Wu Chu a little excited.

I'm even starting to look forward to that Old Demon showing up and delivering himself to his death!

The night was cool and still, with moonlight and starlight falling like rain, creating a breathtaking scene.

At the Summit of the Sacred Tree, lights shone brightly, adorning the canopy with various colored lights.

The Yuanshi Tianzun returned to his room to sit quietly, because the Tongtian priest was still having those Little Flower Fairies play music for him and was still eating and drinking there. Wu Chu had also gone to "join forces" with Tongtian. Of course, this was the old Daoist priest's opinion.

He couldn't bring himself to go and enjoy it, since he didn't really like it either.

So only Wu Chu, Tongtian Xiaodao, and the Little Flower Fairies remained in the Main Hall.

The Little Fox sat obediently beside Wu Chu, refilling his wine.

Tongtian Xiaodao didn't care if there were other people around, and chuckled as he asked, "Did my second brother say something to you during the day? And even used an array to isolate you?"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "He told me about some things you did to deliberately provoke him. Actually, I don't quite understand why you always like to provoke him, Brother Dao."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian scoffed and said, "Do you think I like doing this? It's just that he always disapproves of my actions, so sometimes I can't help but retort."

Tongtian took a sip of wine and said with a wry smile, "Take this for example! On the way here, I saw a Treasure-Seeking Rat and thought it looked quite clever, so I casually enlightened it. But it thought I was neglecting my duties and actually went to enlighten a ground rat. Was that a ground rat? That was clearly Treasure-Seeking Rat, a Primordial World species with a very sensitive sense for Spirit Treasure!"

Groundhog? Treasure-Seeking Rat? Duobao Rat?!

Holy crap! Could it be that future Duobao Tathagata?!

"What did that groundhog, uh, I mean, that Treasure-Seeking Rat look like again?"

Wu Chu couldn't help but ask Tongtian out of curiosity.

Tongtian casually waved his hand, and a phantom appeared before everyone. The phantom was entirely silver-white, with soft fur, and stood upright. It didn't have the disgusting appearance of a rat; instead, it had a touch of hamster cuteness. However, to Wu Chu, that appearance...

Doesn't it look a bit like a goofy groundhog?

Tongtian explained, "Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you; this little guy possesses a spatial ability, making it an absolute master at digging tunnels. Even some simple formations and restrictions can't trap it. Unfortunately, my second brother thinks it's too ugly and won't let me take it with me."

"..."

Wu Chu was somewhat speechless. To the primitives who disliked creatures born from wet eggs, no matter how beautiful a groundhog was, it was still just a groundhog. They wouldn't even look down on dragons, phoenixes, or Qilin Clan, so how could they possibly be interested in a tiny groundhog? Absolutely not!

The Little Fox said, "This groundhog, well, this Treasure-Seeking Rat, isn't so ugly! Its silvery-white fur looks quite soft and pretty!"

Little Moon Spirit had just walked in carrying a plate of steamed fish, asked, "I wonder how it tastes?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian couldn't help but chuckle. He then cleared the plates in front of him, making it easier for Little Moon Spirit to put down the plate of steamed fish.

"Little Moon Spirit, although what you made is delicious, and eating it made me feel like I was on a cloud, not everything is edible! That's Treasure-Seeking Rat. If it helps you find a Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure, you'll be rich. How could you even think about eating it?"

"Hehe, I was just kidding! Please don't mind, senior."

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who gets angry easily. Just make me another soup, and I'll be satisfied!"

"Please wait a moment, senior. The Qilin Clan leg bone is simmering in the pot!"

Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "Brothers should understand each other! I believe he wouldn't have any ill intentions towards you, his younger brother."

"I understand that, I just can't stand him always causing trouble for no reason!"
