In the guest room, Mu Jizi and Kunpeng sat cross-legged.
"Brother, Qilin Ancestor is not discussing how to destroy those demons. Instead, he has arranged for us to wait here. It is truly infuriating!"
Kunpeng was somewhat indignant. In his view, they should have immediately gone to encircle and eliminate the devil. If they waited too long, the devil might find this place and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
"Worthy brother, do not be impatient! Since Qilin Ancestor has asked us to wait, he naturally has his reasons! Do not become flustered over such trivial matters. Besides, demons are rising everywhere across the Primordial Wilderness. Are you afraid there will be no demons for you to display your great arts upon? Waiting here for a few days will do no harm."
Mu Jizi smiled faintly. He knew of Kunpeng's bloodthirsty nature. Now that Kunpeng wielded lightning, which could shatter all demons, his urge to show off had naturally arisen. But Mu Jizi had his own plans, so he naturally would not indulge Kunpeng's nonsense.
"Hehe~~~ My little thoughts could not possibly escape Brother's eyes!" Kunpeng said with an embarrassed smile.
"Worthy brother, do not blame me for saying this!" After pondering for a while, Mu Jizi's expression turned serious as he watched Kunpeng grin. He decided to give Kunpeng a warning, lest he cause more trouble in the future.
"Now that the Primordial Wilderness is occupied by demons, your cultivation is merely at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. There are those with cultivation higher than yours, and those with greater divine abilities than yours. Yet they still hide here one by one. Why is that?"
"Is it not because their cultivation is insufficient and they could gain no advantage against those demons?"
"Though you control lightning and have an advantage over such demons, that is only when your cultivation is not too far apart. If their cultivation greatly exceeds yours, you can only let yourself be slaughtered!"
"Furthermore, we cultivators value the Dao Heart. Divine abilities and spells are all fleeting clouds. Only by following one's true heart and constantly seeking the Dao can one attain the true fruit! Your killing intent is far too heavy. If you wish to attain the Dao, it will be even more difficult. For the sake of a little dispute of pride, you refuse to make progress and disregard your own life. Such conduct is truly unworthy of refinement! How will you attain the Dao in the future?"
Though Mu Jizi's words were brief, every word was like a pearl, like a blow to the head that struck deep into Kunpeng's heart!
"How will I attain the Dao? How will I attain the Dao?..."
Kunpeng muttered to himself. After a long while, his body suddenly shuddered, and his expression changed several times. At last, his face was full of shame as he said, "Brother's lesson is right. After gaining the Dao of Lightning, I became somewhat carried away for a time!"
"It is good that you understand. Then my painstaking efforts have not been in vain!" Mu Jizi looked at Kunpeng and saw nothing but regret and shame in his eyes, which gave Mu Jizi a trace of comfort.
"Then I shall not disturb Brother's rest!" At that moment, Kunpeng was truly convinced. He was not foolish; on the contrary, he was extremely intelligent. For Mu Jizi to say such things despite risking offending him, Mu Jizi was clearly thinking of him and sincerely hoped he could attain the Dao Fruit!
With such a brother, how could he refuse to be convinced?
"Mm." Mu Jizi nodded, his face carrying an indescribable calmness.
I hope you will not disappoint me!
Watching Kunpeng's departing figure, Mu Jizi stood there in a daze.
From what he knew of later generations, Kunpeng's final fate had been extremely miserable. Because of his solitary temperament, he had been squeezed out by that fellow Zhunti in Purple Cloud Palace, even losing his chance at sainthood. Later, he coveted Red Cloud's Primordial Violet Qi for becoming a saint and was plotted against by Eastern Emperor and Dijun. A thread of his true spirit was absorbed into the Monster Summoning Banner, and he was forced to become the teacher of the demon race. He appeared glorious, but the bitterness within was beyond the understanding of outsiders!
Time flew like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed!
That day, Mu Jizi and Kunpeng were comprehending the Dao in their room when they heard a voice transmission. The Qilin Tribe's First Elder was waiting outside, ready to lead Mu Jizi and Kunpeng to Qilin Hall to discuss the grand plan of eliminating the demons!
The two left the room, exchanged pleasantries with the Qilin Tribe's First Elder, then followed him toward Qilin Hall!
"First Elder, have you come to summon my brother and me today because Patriarch Qi Xiang has devised a plan to destroy the demons?" Kunpeng casually asked as they walked.
"Uh... I do not know about that either!" The First Elder's words were evasive, and for an instant, an unnatural expression appeared on his face!
Seeing this, Mu Jizi and Kunpeng exchanged a glance and asked no further questions, merely noting the scene in their hearts!
Before long, they passed through the paths and arrived at Qilin Hall!
Compared to Mu Jizi's first visit, there were nearly two hundred more thrones in the hall. Most of them were already occupied. Every one of these people carried an imposing aura in their every movement. The weakest among them had reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. As for those with higher cultivation, Mu Jizi himself possessed late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation. Of course, he was the only one at such a level!
At that moment, Mu Jizi suppressed his own cultivation, displaying only early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal strength. It was not that he enjoyed pretending to be weak, but there were only a handful of Daluo Golden Immortals in the hall, and each had only just entered the Daluo realm. If he displayed too much strength, he would surely become the leader. Leaders usually met extremely miserable ends.
He did not believe that Rahu Ancestor, who now possessed Quasi-Sect Master cultivation, could not destroy him with a single move!
If Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals were as different as earth and heaven, then Daluo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Sages were simply incomparable. Even comparing fireflies to the bright moon would be too generous. This showed just how vast the gap between Daluo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Sages was!
Mu Jizi and Kunpeng entered the hall, casually found seats, and sat down with their eyes closed in silence. This disappointed some of the lower-cultivated innate divine beings who had intended to speak with them!
Not long after, several dozen more people arrived. Only then were all the nearly two hundred thrones completely filled!
"Now that the time has come! Since Qilin Ancestor summoned us here, he must have found a method to destroy the demons, correct?"
Just then, a booming voice rang out. Seeing that everyone had arrived, someone could no longer wait to ask!
This question happened to voice everyone's thoughts. These innate divine beings were all shrewd to the extreme. Some, like Mu Jizi and Kunpeng, had noticed certain clues on their way to the hall. Even those who had not noticed had already learned everything through divine-sense transmissions!
How could such a strange matter not raise questions?
"Cough~~~" With a light cough, Qilin Ancestor's expression suddenly changed, his face filling with shame. "I summoned all of you fellow Daoists today because there is something I must tell you!"
"Mm? What is it? Qilin Ancestor, please speak!" Seeing this, the faces of the innate divine beings darkened, and a bad feeling rose in their hearts!
"According to my tribe's scouts, Rahu Ancestor has discovered our tribe's sacred land. He has already led his demon followers here to kill us! I fear... I fear they may reach our sacred land at any moment!" Qilin Ancestor's expression was grave, and the shame on his face grew even stronger!
"What?" The single sentence was like a stone thrown into a lake, sending ripples through the crowd. The faces of all the innate divine beings changed!
"Qilin Ancestor, your heart is truly vicious! All the experts of my dragon race above the Golden Immortal realm have gathered here. Rahu's forces are marching upon us, yet you only inform us now. Are you trying to send us to our deaths?"
"Ancestral Dragon is right. If Qilin Ancestor wishes to die, do not drag us down with you..."
"..."
At that moment, the innate divine beings panicked. Death was more terrifying than any threat!
The higher one stood, the more one feared death!
"I have wronged you all, fellow Daoists. This place is my tribe's sacred land. When I heard that Rahu was coming to kill us, I was unwilling to leave! Because of my selfishness, I did not inform you!" Qilin Ancestor's face flushed with shame. "If I had informed you, I feared you would abandon my tribe and leave. That is why I resorted to this measure, hoping that you fellow Daoists and my Qilin Tribe would break our boats and fight Rahu together!"
Every word Qilin Ancestor spoke was filled with sorrow, leaving all who heard him with a sense of desolation!
"Qi Xiang, you are confused. The three of us understand Rahu's cultivation best. Even if the number of fellow Daoists here doubled, we would still be no match for him. Rather than be destroyed for nothing, it would be better to abandon this sacred land and rise again elsewhere!" Phoenix Ancestor's face was full of grief. At that moment, only she could understand Qilin Ancestor's feelings. The Phoenix sacred land had long been seized by Rahu. If not for the obsession in her heart, she would have ended her own life long ago!
"It is too late to say anything now..."
Rumble!
At that moment, a heart-palpitating explosion suddenly came from the sky, cutting off Qilin Ancestor's words. Everyone's hearts trembled, their faces changed, and they no longer had any desire to blame Qilin Ancestor...
