Bo Huang Seeks Guidance at Jade Purity Palace

After the Heavenly Origin Sect disciples retreated, Bo Huang asked Qiu Shou Xian, "Does Taiyi often come to provoke us?"

Qiu Shou Xian replied, "Senior Brother Bo Huang, let me put it this way: it's not just Taiyi. All those disciples from the Heavenly Origin Sect look down on us 'beasts with fur and horns'."

Bo Huang was instantly enraged. He thought, 'Fine, I can't stand for this. This is like looking down on me too.'

With that thought, Bo Huang headed straight for the Jade Purity Palace. He mused, 'I even contributed to your Primordial Lord of Heaven becoming a Saint, so why look down on my Demon Race?' The angrier he got along the way, the more he felt like he was about to burst into flames by the time he reached the entrance of the Jade Purity Palace.

Knock, knock, knock. After three knocks, Bo Huang entered the Jade Purity Palace with a stern expression.

Seeing his serious demeanor, Yuanshi asked, "Bo Huang, why the long face?"

Bo Huang said, "Second Uncle-Master, I've come to lodge a complaint today. The esteemed disciple Taiyi from the Heavenly Origin Sect went to our Intercepting Sect to provoke us today. I hope Uncle-Master will punish him."

Taiyi retorted indignantly, "I merely said 'beasts with fur and horns, born from wetness and hatching eggs.' Is that considered provocation? At most, it's an objective description."

Bo Huang countered, "Then what did you mean by saying we are unworthy of cultivating the Dao in your later sentence? You look down on everyone all the time, but is your own origin very impressive?"

True Person Taiyi declared, "Of course. I was formed from a wisp of pure Yang energy."

Upon hearing this, Bo Huang's expression changed. He thought, 'System, if I recall correctly, pure Yang energy came from the East King Duke?'

"Ding-dong, System verification complete. Back then, your Second Uncle didn't kill the East King Duke completely, leaving behind a wisp of a remnant soul... which turned into this little fatty," the System responded within Bo Huang's Primordial Spirit.

Bo Huang was speechless. He said, "Your origin is just so-so. Pure Yang energy? I grew up near the Sun Star and the Fusang Tree, where Yang energy is abundant. How dare a mere wisp of pure Yang energy be so arrogant? Besides, who says 'beasts with fur and horns' are unworthy of cultivating the Dao?"

True Person Taiyi puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, I realized that from my teacher's Great Dao."

Bo Huang looked at Yuanshi and asked, "Second Uncle-Master, do you think so too? These thoughts from the Heavenly Origin Sect disciples are very dangerous."

Yuanshi replied, "Although Taiyi's idea is somewhat biased, it's not entirely without reason."

Bo Huang said, "Please explain, Uncle-Master?"

Yuanshi said, "Alright, Bo Huang, follow me." They arrived in a secret chamber. Yuanshi's expression changed. "You brat, you have some nerve, daring to ask a Saint for an explanation?"

Bo Huang chuckled, "Haha, everyone knows Second Uncle-Master is the most reasonable and won't hold this against me."

Yuanshi said, "Taiyi was in the wrong this time, and I will punish him. However, the Intercepting Sect has nearly ten thousand outer disciples from various races. Are you sure you can manage them?"

Bo Huang's face flushed with embarrassment. "How can it be that easy to manage? The group following me is okay, but the ones following Senior Brother Duobao don't really listen to me either. Uncle-Master, you don't have any prejudice against the Demon Race, do you?"

Yuanshi's expression turned serious. "Of course not. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so close to you. However, do you know that there are differences within the Demon Race?"

Bo Huang asked, "Are you testing me, Uncle-Master? No offense, but when it comes to the Demon Race, besides the Saints on Mount Kunlun, not many understand them better than I do."

Yuanshi laughed heartily, "I forgot, you are the Crown Prince of the Demon Court. You must have your own insights. Tell me?"

Bo Huang explained, "In my Heavenly Court, some demons, like Xi Huang, have cultivated their Dao and magic well, possessing an aura similar to Saints. Others, who achieved the Dao through ferocity, only cultivate magical power and divine abilities without cultivating morality. They carry significant karma, which has even tainted some of our Heavenly Court's luck. Father is often troubled by this."

Primordial Lord of Heaven nodded. "It's like this in the Heavenly Court, and it's the same in the Intercepting Sect... Do you know that your master has taken in all the disciples my great formation intercepted? Many of them have deep karma, which might implicate him in the future."

Bo Huang said, "Haha, Second Uncle-Master, don't worry. I have my ways. Can you shield this place so no one can spy on us?"

Yuanshi smiled confidently. "No one can spy on this place."

Bo Huang said, "I plan to find an opportunity to send a bunch of these unruly outer disciples to Jieyin and Zhunti to harm their luck. What do you think?"

Yuanshi's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea."

Bo Huang added, "Uncle-Master, I will resolve the issue between the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect myself. I will go back and discipline the Intercepting Sect's outer disciples. For those I absolutely cannot discipline, I might have to resort to severe measures. If Master gets angry, I will need your protection."
