Chapter Five: Yang Mei Visits the Pangu Temple
Outside the Wu Clan's territory, Yang Mei stood quietly. With her strength, she could have easily arrived at the Pangu Palace without making a sound. However, this was Xuan Chu's territory after all. If she angered Xuan Chu, she would probably be in deep trouble. Besides, with Xuan Chu's strength, he would definitely know if she approached the Wu Clan's territory.
A moment later, Xing Tian arrived before Yang Mei. Remembering Xuan Chu's instructions, Xing Tian was extremely respectful and said, "This Daoist priest, are you here to see my ancestor, the Witch Ancestor?"
Yang Mei smiled and said, "Your ancestor is Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu, isn't he? That's right, I am Yang Mei, and I have come to pay my respects to Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu."
"Greetings, Daoist Yang Mei. The Witch Ancestor instructed Xing Tian to come and greet you. Please follow me," Xing Tian said.
"Thank you for your trouble, young friend."
Xing Tian led Yang Mei to the outside of the Pangu Palace. The gates of the Pangu Palace were tightly closed at the time, and Xing Tian dared not trespass. So he loudly announced from outside the palace, "Reporting to the Great Ancestor Wu, Xing Tian has brought Daoist Yang Mei."
As soon as the words were spoken, the gates of the Pangu Palace slowly opened, and a voice came from inside: "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, please come in for a chat. Xing Tian, you go down first and instruct everyone not to approach the Pangu Palace."
"Yes!" Xing Tian replied and left.
After Xing Tian left, Yang Mei walked straight into the Pangu Palace. Xuan Chu was sitting cross-legged in front of the Pangu Blood Pool. Sensing Yang Mei's entry, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Yang Mei, long time no see!"
"This humble Daoist is Yang Mei. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu. It has been countless years since we last met. Fellow Daoist's demeanor remains as elegant as ever," Yang Mei said.
Xuan Chu said, "Yang Mei, you didn't expect that I would still be alive, did you?"
"I really didn't expect it, but after thinking about it, it makes sense. Who are you, fellow Daoist? Your cultivation is boundless and profound. Even I was able to survive the Great Calamity of Creation. With your abilities, you must be no different. However, what I can't understand is why you have never shown yourself in the prehistoric world all these years," Yang Mei said.
"That's not important." Xuan Chu had no interest in explaining his experiences to Yang Mei. Instead, he said, "Yang Mei, you must have already met Hongjun before you came here. You should be clear about my position with the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun. You still dare to come to the Pangu Palace to see me. Aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Dao will turn against you?"
"I'm not afraid." Yang Mei smiled and said, "I have long since escaped the primordial world and attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal. The Heavenly Dao of the primordial world can do nothing to me. I have only come here today to see an old friend. Being able to see you, fellow Daoist, is the happiest thing for me in all these years."
Xuan Chu stood up, walked up to Yang Mei, looked her up and down, and said, "Late stage of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, it seems you have also obtained quite a fortuitous opportunity."
Seeing that Xuan Chu could see through his strength at a glance, Yang Mei's expression became very solemn. He had always hidden his strength very well, and even the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun did not know his true strength. However, Xuan Chu could see through it at a glance, which showed just how terrifying Xuan Chu's strength was.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist. My meager cultivation is far inferior to yours," Yang Mei said with a wry smile.
"Yang Mei, I don't want to argue with you about these things. Since you're here, then consider me a friend. I won't hide it from you. The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun want to destroy my Pangu lineage. I will never sit idly by and wait to die. You were also driven out of the prehistoric world by the Heavenly Dao. I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with me?" Xuan Chu said.
The three lectures at Zixiao Palace have long since ended, and the Six Sages will soon return to their positions. Once the Six Sages return, Hongjun will merge with the Heavenly Dao. At that time, Hongjun will be able to unleash the power of a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal. Xuan Chu is not confident that he can return to the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm before Hongjun merges with the Dao, so he wants to win over Yang Mei. After all, Yang Mei's strength in the current prehistoric world is second only to himself, and slightly better than Hongjun. With Yang Mei's help, he will be more confident in dealing with the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun in the future.
However, Yang Mei's attitude greatly disappointed Xuan Chu. Yang Mei shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, fellow Daoist. I have only come here to see an old friend. I have long lost interest in the struggles of the prehistoric world. Now I am living a carefree and happy life in the chaos."
Xuan Chu stared at Yang Mei for a long time, making sure that Yang Mei really had no intention of fighting. Then he sighed and said, "Very well, there are not many old friends left in the Chaos. If you don't want to get involved, I won't force you. However, since you are not participating in the fight, if I find out in the future that you helped Hongjun, don't blame me for not showing any consideration for our past relationship."
Since Yang Mei didn't want to participate in the fight, Xuan Chu didn't need to force her. After all, Xuan Chu was only trying his luck in trying to win Yang Mei over. Whether it succeeded or not didn't matter. However, just in case, to prevent Yang Mei from suddenly jumping out to help Hong Jun and oppose him in the future, Xuan Chu directly threatened Yang Mei.
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I can swear to the Great Dao that I will not interfere with either you or Hongjun. After leaving the Pangu Palace, I will leave the Primordial World and will not return for a long time. Fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry." Faced with Xuan Chu's threat, Yang Mei quickly made a guarantee and even swore to the Great Dao.
"That's good!" With Yang Mei's assurance, Xuan Chu was relieved. As for whether Yang Mei would go back on her word in the future, Xuan Chu was not worried. As Chaos Gods, they all had their own pride, and Chaos Gods would not do something like going back on their word.
After Xuan Chu and Yang Mei discussed the Dao, Yang Mei left.
Inside the Sanqing Hall on Kunlun Mountain, the Sanqing, who had just returned from Zixiao Palace, were clearly still reeling from the shock brought by Xuan Chu.
"I never imagined we would have an uncle. Eldest brother, second brother, do you think we should go to the Pangu Palace to see our uncle?" Tongtian exclaimed as soon as he sat down. There was nothing about Xuan Chu in their inheritance. Tongtian was very interested in this uncle who appeared out of nowhere, especially the sword that faced Hongjun directly, which made Tongtian very fascinated.
"Tongtian, this Xuan Chu's origins are unknown. We are the true descendants of Pangu. How can we just casually recognize a wild Taoist as our uncle? If word gets out, what will outsiders think of our true descendants of Pangu?" Seeing Tongtian's attitude, Yuanshi couldn't help but reprimand him. Yuanshi was always arrogant, and even his elder brother Taishang was not very convinced of him. How could he possibly accept Xuan Chu? Especially since Xuan Chu was going against his teacher.
"How could he be a wild Taoist? Master and Senior Yang Mei have already confirmed that Xuan Chu Dao Ren was born from the same thirty-sixth grade Chaos Green Lotus as Father God. He is Father God's twin brother, isn't he our uncle?" Tong Tian was very unconvinced when he heard Yuan Shi's words. Even Hong Jun and Yang Mei had confirmed Xuan Chu's identity, so why was Yuan Shi still calling him a wild Taoist?
"Tongtian, are you going to disobey your elder brother?" Seeing that Tongtian still dared to contradict him, Yuanshi was furious and was about to continue to scold Tongtian.
At this moment, the Supreme Being spoke up, saying, "Alright, stop arguing."
As soon as Taishang spoke, Yuanshi and Tongtian immediately stopped arguing. As the eldest brother, Taishang was stronger than the two of them, so they did not dare to disobey him for the time being.
