After the members of the Chan Sect withdrew, Bo Huang asked Qiu Shou Xian, "Does Taiyi often come here to provoke us?"
Qiu Shou Xian said, "Senior Brother Bo Huang, let me put it this way: it's not just Taiyi. All those Chan Sect disciples look down on us furred and horned creatures."
Bo Huang flew into a rage at once. Well now, I can't tolerate this. Doesn't that mean he looks down on me too?
With that thought, Bo Huang headed straight for Jade Purity Palace. I even helped you become a Saint, Primordial Lord of Heaven. What gives you the right to look down on us demons? The more he thought about it along the way, the angrier he became. By the time he reached the gates of Jade Purity Palace, he was practically on fire.
Knock, knock, knock. After three knocks, Bo Huang entered Jade Purity Palace with a stern expression.
Seeing his grave expression, Yuanshi asked, "Bo Huang, why do you look so serious?"
Bo Huang said, "Second Martial Uncle, I've come to lodge a complaint today. That outstanding Chan Sect disciple Taiyi went to our Jie Sect to provoke us. I hope Martial Uncle will punish him."
Taiyi protested, "I merely said 'furred and horned, born damp and hatched from eggs.' Does that count as provocation? At most, it was an objective description."
Bo Huang said, "Then what did you mean by saying people like us aren't worthy of cultivating the Dao? You look down on others every day. Is your own origin really that impressive?"
True Person Taiyi said, "Of course. This humble Daoist was formed from a wisp of pure yang qi."
The moment he said that, Bo Huang's expression changed. System, if I remember correctly, isn't pure yang qi East King Duke?
"Ding dong. System verification complete. Back then, your second uncle failed to kill East King Duke thoroughly. A remnant fragment of his soul remained... and became this Little Fatty." The system replied within Bo Huang's primordial spirit.
Bo Huang was instantly speechless. "Your origin is only ordinary. Pure yang qi? I grew up on the Sun Star, beside the Fusang Tree, where yang qi is abundant. How dare a mere wisp of pure yang qi act so arrogantly? Besides, who says furred and horned creatures aren't worthy of cultivating the Dao?"
True Person Taiyi craned his neck and said, "Naturally, I comprehended it from my teacher's Great Dao."
Bo Huang looked at Yuanshi. "Second Martial Uncle, do you think the same way? This way of thinking among Chan Sect disciples is dangerous."
Yuanshi said, "Although Taiyi's view is somewhat biased, it is not entirely without reason."
Bo Huang said, "I ask Martial Uncle to explain."
Yuanshi said, "Very well. Bo Huang, come with me." Once they arrived in a secret chamber, Yuanshi's expression changed. "You've got some nerve, kid. You dared demand an explanation from a Saint?"
Bo Huang laughed. "Haha, everyone knows Second Martial Uncle is the most reasonable. You wouldn't hold something like this against me."
Yuanshi said, "Taiyi was in the wrong this time, and I will punish him. However, the Jie Sect has nearly ten thousand outer disciples, from every race. Are you sure you have them under control?"
Bo Huang looked awkward. "How could they be so easy to manage? The group that follows me is manageable enough, but the group that follows Senior Brother Duobao doesn't listen to me much either. Martial Uncle, you don't hold prejudice against the demon race, do you?"
Yuanshi said solemnly, "Of course not. Otherwise, I would not be so close to you. But do you know that demons are not all the same?"
Bo Huang said, "Is Martial Uncle testing me? I'm not bragging, but when it comes to the demon race, aside from the Saints, there aren't many on Mount Kunlun who understand them better than I do."
Yuanshi laughed heartily. "I had forgotten that you are the crown prince of the Demon Court and naturally have your own insights. Go on, tell me."
Bo Huang said, "In my Heavenly Court, some demons are like Xi Huang. They diligently cultivate both their Dao attainment and spells, and carry themselves almost like Saints. Others are savage beasts who attained the Dao and cultivate only Magic Power and divine abilities, without cultivating virtue. They bear considerable Karmic Debt, even tainting the fortune of my Heavenly Court. My father often worries over this."
Primordial Lord of Heaven nodded. "That is true of the Heavenly Court, and it is also true of the Jie Sect... Do you know that your master accepted every disciple my grand formation intercepted without exception? There are quite a few among them with deep Karmic Debt, and they may drag him down in the future."
Bo Huang said, "Haha, Second Martial Uncle, don't worry. I have a solution. Could you seal this place off so no one else can spy on us?"
Yuanshi smiled confidently. "No one can spy on this place."
Bo Huang said, "I'm planning to find an opportunity to send those outer disciples who love fighting and violence to Jieyin and Zhunti, so they can ruin those two's fortune. What do you think?"
Yuanshi's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea."
Bo Huang added, "Martial Uncle, leave the problems between the Chan Sect and Jie Sect to me. I'll return at once to restrain the Jie Sect's outer disciples. For those I truly cannot restrain, I may have to use some heavy-handed measures. If Master becomes angry, I'll need Martial Uncle's protection."
