Kunpeng Discerns Right from Wrong; Great Calamity Descends Upon All

In the guest room, Mu Jizi and Kunpeng sat cross-legged.

"Brother, this Qilin Ancestor is not discussing how to eliminate those Demonic Beasts, yet he has arranged for us to wait here. Truly detestable!"

Kunpeng was somewhat indignant. In his view, the urgent matter was to surround and suppress the devil. If they delayed too long, the devil might come looking for them and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

"Worthy brother, do not be impatient! Since that Qilin Ancestor has told us to wait, he naturally has his reasons! Do not let such trifles throw your heart into turmoil. Besides, Demonic Beasts are rising everywhere across the Primordial Wilderness. Are you afraid there will be no Demonic Beasts for you to display your great arts upon when the time comes? Waiting here for a few days will do no harm."

Mu Jizi smiled faintly. He knew of the bloodthirst buried deep in Kunpeng's bones. Now that Kunpeng commanded lightning, capable of breaking ten thousand demons, the urge to show off had naturally arisen in his heart. Yet Mu Jizi had his own calculations, so he naturally would not indulge Kunpeng's nonsense at this moment!

"Hehe~~~ This foolish brother's little thoughts naturally cannot escape Brother's eyes!" Kunpeng said with an embarrassed smile.

"Worthy brother, do not blame your elder brother for speaking of this!" After pondering for a while and seeing Kunpeng's grinning expression, Mu Jizi's face turned solemn. He had decided to sound a warning for Kunpeng, lest he cause more trouble in the future.

"Now that Demonic Beasts occupy the lands of the Primordial Wilderness, your cultivation is merely at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. There are those whose cultivation exceeds yours, and those whose divine abilities are broader than yours, yet every one of them still cowers here. Why is that?"

"Is it not because their cultivation is insufficient, and they have failed to gain any advantage against those Demonic Beasts?"

"Though you control lightning and possess restraint over such Demonic Beasts, that is only when your cultivation does not differ greatly from theirs. If their cultivation exceeds yours by far, you can only let yourself be slaughtered!"

"Furthermore, we cultivators value the Dao heart. Divine abilities and spells are all floating clouds. Only by remaining true to one's heart and forever seeking the Dao can one attain the true fruit! Your killing intent is too heavy. If you wish to attain the Dao, it will be all the more difficult. For the sake of a little contest of spirit, you refuse to strive forward and disregard your own life. Such conduct truly cannot ascend the hall of elegance! How will you attain the Dao in the future?"

Though Mu Jizi's words were brief, every word was like a pearl, like a staff blow to the head, striking straight into Kunpeng's heart!

"How does one attain the Dao? How does one attain the Dao?..."

Kunpeng muttered to himself. After a long while, his body suddenly shook, and his expression changed several times. At last, his face was filled with shame as he said, "Brother's lesson is correct. This foolish brother obtained the Dao of lightning and became somewhat carried away for a time!"

"It is good that you understand. Then your elder brother's painstaking efforts have not been in vain!" Mu Jizi looked at Kunpeng and saw nothing but remorse and shame in his eyes, which gave Mu Jizi a trace of comfort.

"Then this foolish brother shall no longer disturb Brother's rest!" At this moment, Kunpeng was truly convinced. He was not foolish; on the contrary, he was exceedingly clever. For Mu Jizi to say such words today despite risking offense to him, he was undoubtedly thinking for Kunpeng's sake and sincerely hoped that Kunpeng could cultivate a Dao Fruit!

With such a brother, what right did he have not to be convinced?

"Mhm!" Mu Jizi nodded, his face bearing an indescribable calm.

I hope you do not disappoint me!

Watching Kunpeng's departing figure, Mu Jizi could not help but fall into a daze.

From what he knew of later generations, Kunpeng's final fate had been exceedingly miserable. Because of his solitary temperament, he had been squeezed aside by that fellow Zhunti in Purple Cloud Palace until he even lost his saint's seat. Later, he coveted Red Cloud's purple qi for becoming a saint and was plotted against by Eastern Emperor and Dijun. A thread of his true spirit merged into the Monster Summoning Banner, and he was forced to become the teacher of the Demon Race. Though he appeared glorious, the flavors within were too numerous to speak of to outsiders!

Time flew like a shuttle, and the years sped by. 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 suddenly heard a voice transmission. The Qilin clan's Great Elder was waiting outside, prepared to lead Mu Jizi and Kunpeng to Qilin Hall to discuss the grand plan of eliminating demons!

The two left their room, exchanged a few polite words with the Qilin clan's Great Elder, then followed him toward Qilin Hall!

"Great Elder, have you come to summon this poor Daoist and his brother today because Clan Chief Qi Xiang has devised a plan to eliminate the demons?" Kunpeng casually asked as they walked.

"Er... this poor Daoist does not know either!" The Great Elder spoke evasively, and in that instant, a trace of unnaturalness appeared on his face!

Seeing this, Mu Jizi and Kunpeng exchanged glances and asked no further questions, merely committing the scene to memory in silence!

Before long, the group passed through the pathways and arrived at Qilin Hall!

Compared to Mu Jizi's first visit, there were nearly two hundred more thrones in the great hall. At this moment, most of those nearly two hundred thrones were already occupied. Every movement of these people carried a vast aura. The weakest among them were at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, while those with higher cultivation, such as Mu Jizi himself, possessed late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation. Of course, he was the only one at such a level!

At this moment, Mu Jizi suppressed his own cultivation, displaying only early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation. It was not that he enjoyed playing the pig to eat the tiger. Rather, there were only a handful of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals in the hall, and each had only just stepped into that realm. If he displayed too high a cultivation, he would certainly become the leader. Usually, the leader's end was exceedingly miserable.

He certainly did not believe that Rahu Ancestor, who now possessed the cultivation of a quasi-sect leader, could not destroy him in a single move!

If the difference between a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was that of earth and sky, then there was simply no way to compare a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal with a quasi-saint. Even a firefly compared to the bright moon would not suffice to describe it. From this, one could see the gap between Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and quasi-saints!

Mu Jizi and Kunpeng entered the great hall, casually found seats, and sat down before closing their eyes without a word. This disappointed several innate great gods of lower cultivation who had intended to speak with them!

Not long afterward, several dozen more people arrived in the great hall. Only then were all nearly two hundred thrones filled without a single vacancy!

"Now that the time has come! Since Qilin Ancestor summoned us here, he must have a method for eliminating demons, correct?"

Just then, a thunderous voice rang out. Seeing that everyone had arrived, someone impatiently asked!

That question struck precisely at the thoughts in everyone's hearts. These innate great gods were all shrewd to the extreme. Some, like Mu Jizi and Kunpeng, had discovered a few clues while being led to the hall. Those who had not noticed had also learned everything earlier through divine-sense voice transmissions!

How could such a strange matter not make people question it?

"Cough~~~" With a light cough, Qilin Ancestor's expression suddenly changed, becoming filled with shame. "I have summoned all fellow Daoists here today because there is a matter I must tell you!"

"Hm? What matter? Qilin Ancestor, please speak!" Seeing this, all the innate great gods' expressions darkened, and ominous foreboding rose in their hearts!

"According to reports from my clan's scouts, Rahu Ancestor has discovered our clan's sacred land. He has already led the demon host under his command here to kill us! I fear... I fear they may arrive at our clan's sacred land at any moment!" Qilin Ancestor's face was grave, and the shame on it deepened further!

"What?" That single sentence was like a stone cast upon a lake, stirring wave after wave. Every innate great god's expression changed!

"Qilin Ancestor, your heart is truly vicious! All the experts of my Dragon clan above the Golden Immortal realm have gathered here. Rahu the devil is leading his forces here to kill us, yet you did not inform us until now. Do you mean to drag us into death and disaster!"

"Ancestral Dragon is right. Qilin Ancestor, if you seek death wholeheartedly, do not drag us down with you..."

"..."

At this moment, the innate great gods immediately panicked. Death was a greater threat than anything else!

The higher one stood, the more one feared death!

"This ancestor has wronged all fellow Daoists. This place is my clan's sacred land. Upon hearing that Rahu the devil was coming to kill us, this ancestor was unwilling to leave! Thus, out of selfishness, I did not notify you, fellow Daoists!" Qilin Ancestor's face reddened with shame. "If I had informed you, fellow Daoists, I feared you would abandon my clan and depart. That was why I resorted to this inferior measure, hoping all fellow Daoists would break the cauldrons and sink the boats with my Qilin clan, fighting Rahu the devil together!"

Every word from Qilin Ancestor carried 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 fellow Daoists present were doubled in number, we would still be no match for him. Rather than be destroyed for nothing, it would be better to abandon the sacred land and rise again after making a comeback!" Phoenix Ancestor's face was filled with grief. At this moment, only she could understand Qilin Ancestor's feelings. The Phoenix sacred land had long been seized by Rahu. Had she not clung to an 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 sounded from the horizon, cutting off Qilin Ancestor's words. Everyone's hearts trembled, their expressions changed, and none still had any desire to blame Qilin Ancestor...
