Inside the Three Pure Ones Store, the three brothers gathered together.

"So, Hong Jun passing on the Daoist Ancestor position to you, is he actually aiming for 'becoming Primordial Chaos'?" Jing Yao Venerable, with a hand to his chin, wore an expression as if deep in thought.

Xuanqing nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, he has already begun to explore the path of further cultivation within the Da Luo realm."

"Otherwise, giving away the status as the ancestor of Immortal Dao just like that?"

"There must be a deeper purpose I refuse to believe doesn't exist."

Xuanqing had just briefly shared his speculation.

Jing Yao and Yu Chen both felt that this conjecture was very likely true.

The remaining doubt did not exclude the possibility that Hong Jun truly did want to use the position of "Daoist Ancestor" to tie Xuanqing to the chariot of Immortal Dao.

And it might be even more than that.

"If you become the Daoist Ancestor, the two of us will definitely support you," Jing Yao Venerable said so, the three Li brothers were loving towards each other, if Li Yuanruo truly became the Daoist Ancestor, would Li Er and Li Ming stand idly by?

"Also, there's the Netherworld," Daoist Lord Yu Chen pointed out, as the ghost immortals were also a crucial part of Immortal Dao, the Netherworld would also become one of the basic planks of Immortal Dao.

This didn't even account for Xuanqing's other identity as the Second Ancestor of the Demon Path, the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

If He were Hong Jun, He would certainly figure out every possible method to win Xuanqing over to the side of Immortal Dao.

"However, on the other hand."

Jing Yao, having regained his senses, looked Xuanqing up and down and asked: "Hong Jun is Da Luo, it's normal for Him to seek further cultivation within the Da Luo realm, but you're still Taiyi, how could you guess so accurately?"

"Could it be..."

Jing Yao and Yu Chen, sitting together, looked towards Xuanqing with a scrutinizing gaze.

They seriously suspected that a divine being had quietly betrayed the class camaraderie of the three Li brothers, appearing to be a mere Taiyi Daoist Master but, in actuality, might already be a Da Luo Supreme.

Daoist Lord Yu Chen also came back to his senses.

Right, Hong Jun is a Da Luo Supreme, it's beyond reproach for Him to explore the path beyond Da Luo.

But Xuanqing is merely Taiyi!

How did he come up with that?

"Speak quickly, or our Three Pure Ones Store will have to close down after just one day of opening." Jing Yao Venerable feigned a couple of cold snorts, putting on an air of "if you don't explain, our brotherhood will immediately shatter."

Facing the scrutiny of his two close brothers, Xuanqing could only smile wryly: "This can't be explained in just a moment, you'll know once I take you to experience it later."

"Experience it?" Jing Yao and Yu Chen looked at each other, utterly confused.

Since they were still in White Jade City, Xuanqing didn't say too much.

"Guaranteed to be interesting."

~~~

In the Fifth Heavenly City, the immortals had finally made a decision.

"The position of Daoist Ancestor can be changed, but not now."

The Yin Yang Daoist spoke: "We understand Hong Jun's Daoist acting for the sake of the Great Dao, but that does not mean the entirety of Immortal Dao can be ignored."

"That's right," Qiankun Immortal said: "If Daoist wishes to seek Great Transcendence, we have no reason to hinder His pursuit, but we would only consider changing the position of Daoist Ancestor when it's truly possible to advance further."

The Great Dao comes first, and they all understood that.

If Hong Jun truly "becomes Primordial Chaos," they wouldn't only not block Him but would even lend a hand.

Then, if Hong Jun later designated the Three Pure Ones as successors, there would be absolutely no problem.

"But what about our Daoist Friend from Fengdu?"

Kunpeng then said: "If you want to recruit him but don't offer a real status or benefits, would he agree?"

"Moreover, now that our Daoist Friend from Fengdu has taken the lead in completing the construction of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit, carving out a path to the Da Luo Immortal Road, we can't just offer no sincerity."

"I have an idea."

After considering for a while, Yang Mei Daoist spoke: "In the Heavenly Palace of White Jade City, beyond the twelve towers, lie the five cities."

"When we first established Immortal Dao, we already decided on the seats of Immortal Dao. Then let's simply, divide Immortal Dao into various Dharma Lineages."

"The Master of Jade Tower is the head of one lineage, and the lords of the five great Heavenly Cities are heads of their own lineages."

Yang Mei looked towards the immortals: "For those who join our Immortal Dao and create their own path, each family will govern one lineage, as the Immortal Venerable Sect Hierarch."

"The three proprietors of the Three Pure Ones Store will solely manage the Heavenly Immortal Dharma Lineage, as the lords of the First Heavenly City, enjoying Immortal Dao's Qi Fortune. The corresponding Immortal Dao Universe to the First Heavenly City, the Infinite Heavens, all immortals may serve as the basic plank of the Heavenly Immortal Dharma Lineage."

"In the future, their words and deeds outside represent the words and deeds of our Immortal Dao, their will outside is also the will of our Immortal Dao."

The immortals turned their eyes to Hong Jun, and seeing Hong Jun nod lightly, they were all stunned.

They were officially starting to establish the equity of Immortal Dao!

"Agreed!"

The immortals unanimously passed Yang Mei's suggestion.

"Then I'll go tell Daoist Friend from Fengdu the good news right now!" The Ginseng Fruit Tree was very enthusiastic, cheerfully ready to go to the Three Pure Ones Store.

"Let's go together; it will look more official that way," Kunpeng said.

"Ah... it seems like we don't need to go anymore." Turquoise Pool looked towards the Three Pure Ones Store, where the shop's entrance was clearly written with eight big characters.

"The store is closed, return date uncertain."

Clearly, the three store proprietors had left.

"They've left just like that?" Emperor Donghua was taken aback.

Here we were, intensely discussing whether White Jade City would accept him as the Daoist Ancestor, and he just breezed out without a care in the world.

At least say goodbye!

"Did those three come to White Jade City specially to mess with our heads?" The Yin Yang Daoist looked up to the sky and sighed long, feeling a bit worn out.

He just knew that guy was no ordinary light!

Regarding the departure of the three Xuanqing brothers, Hong Jun and Yang Mei had no reaction.

They controlled the entirety of White Jade City, so they knew the moment the three brothers had left.

"Let it be, this convention is also about done."

Hong Jun smiled and said: "Let the Daoist friends return and prepare for the matter of the Nine Primordial Immortals, and in the next convention, we'll finalize the Immortal Dao Dharma Lineages together, how about that?"

Just the right opportunity to pull in the founders of the Immortal Dao designated by them.

Once all the major Dharma Lineages are complete, that will be the time for their Immortal Dao to flourish!

"Then we shall take our leave," the immortals replied as they all withdrew.

The White Jade City convention concluded.

Endless Immortal Light shone brightly, illuminating the eternal void.

Each immortal turned into light and departed, causing White Jade City to gradually quiet down.

Yang Mei stood in the emptiness beside Hong Jun, blowing in the mountain breeze, watching the shimmering Immortal Lights, and said with a smile: "After the next convention, the Immortal Light of White Jade City will illuminate not just this domain."

"Let's hope so."

Hong Jun smiled and shook his head, then stepped into the void.

"Old Daoist, where are you heading?" Yang Mei hastened to follow.

"I'm off to prepare some nice things." Hong Jun strolled through the void without turning his head.

Yang Mei smiled and asked, "What mischief are you up to now?"

"What do you mean mischief? I'm going to prepare a mountain."

"Another mountain?"

"Indeed, another mountain, Kunlun Mountain. You can call it East Kunlun."

~~~~

Netherworld, Seven Fei Heavenly Palace.

The three brothers who had left White Jade City were enjoying some tea.

"Leaving without saying goodbye, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Daoist Lord Yu Chen delicately savored the mysteries of the Enlightenment Tea.

Next to Daoist Lord Yu Chen was a Treasure Hunting Rat whose intelligence had just begun to blossom, and it too was allotted a cup of Enlightenment Tea.

At the moment, it was imitating Daoist Lord Yu Chen's posture, elegantly tasting the tea.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. All that needed to be exchanged has been exchanged, what's left is to settle things with a final strike." Jing Yao Venerable picked a tender green Enlightenment Tea leaf embellished with natural Great Dao patterns that faintly sketched the shape of a pill furnace.

"Come, little cow, this is the good stuff." Jing Yao cheerfully fed the Enlightened Tea leaf to the little Green Bull laying on the table.

"When I left, I already greeted Hong Jun and Daoist Yang Mei," Xuanqing said, watching these playful beings with intelligence and suddenly thought of his Five-Colored Lion and Five-needle Pine scattered in the Yin Yang Universe.

Maybe he could let them accompany Duobao.

The squirrel is a rodent, and so is the Treasure Hunting Rat.

Rodents should have common topics to discuss.

"Alright, you've had your tea, now it's time to take you to experience what lies beyond Da Luo."

Xuanqing cleared away the tea set and took hold of the Evil Mirror.

"What do you mean by experience?" Jing Yao curiously looked at the Evil Mirror.

Xuanqing's smile was brilliant, "You'll know once you get there."

He beckoned with his hand, and the eyeball of the Destruction Demon God flew out from the Taisha Heavenly Palace and entered the Evil Mirror.

Rumble~~

Mysteriously profound Great Dao, overlapping shadows of Law, infinite convergence of Primordial Qi, a replica of the Chaos in space and time.

A dim light shot from the Evil Mirror, pulling Jing Yao Venerable into the Dao Realm.

~~~~

"By the Pangu God!"

The moment Jing Yao Venerable opened his eyes, he saw a giant wielding an axe charging at him amidst the vast Primordial Chaos.

"Die!"

With that weighty voice, a flash of Pangu Axe Light passed.

That ancient and desolate power of Eternal Killing enveloped the infinite time and space, grinding away the Great Dao, erupting with the great power that turned eons into dust.

"Run!!"

A thought took root.

The eyes of the [Destruction Demon God] twinkled with light.

He turned and ran without hesitation.

Jing Yao Venerable knew who he was now.

But he did not believe the Destruction Demon God could arm-wrestle with Pangu.

Destroying the eternal? Killing Pangu?

How drunk can one get from a few servings?

Under Jing Yao Venerable's control, [Destruction Demon God] ran away honorably.

But could he escape?

Under the Pangu Axe, every [Destruction Demon God] in the boundless time and space only had one outcome: death!

"Ah!!"

Seven Fei Heavenly Palace, Jing Yao Venerable yelled out loud, startling Daoist Lord Yu Chen.

"What's wrong?" Daoist Lord Yu Chen asked with uncertainty.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!"

Jing Yao Venerable forcefully endured the phantom pain brought by the Pangu Axe and regained his composure.

He looked composedly towards Yu Chen: "Fellow Daoist, it's your turn now, have a look, there's a surprise."

Yu Chen Daoist Lord looked at Jing Yao Venerable doubtfully: "Thinking of tricking me again, aren't you?"

"Absolutely not." Jing Yao Venerable's mouth twisted into a smile, but it was insincere.

Xuanqing said, "Go on, you'll be fine."

Only then did Yu Chen agree.

A moment later.

"Ah!! Pangu, I curse you!"

Yu Chen's wretched scream echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Palace.

Listening to such a heart-wrenching scream, Jing Yao's lips curled up, as if touched by a divine melody.

This was much more comfortable.

"You two!" Daoist Lord Yu Chen with red eyes glared at Xuanqing and Jing Yao.

His head was in pain.

Xuanqing smirked: "No worries, go a few more times, and you'll get used to it."

"It's just the Pangu Axe; you'll get used to it eventually."

Jing Yao Venerable nodded: "That's right, if you're not used to it now, you'll have to get used to it later!"

"Then let's go in again!" Yu Chen Daoist Lord gritted his teeth and immersed his consciousness back into the Dao Realm.

Xuanqing said, "Let's go together."

He waved his hand, and the breath belonging to the [Dark Demon God] was cast into the Evil Mirror.

Meanwhile, a light descended from the Space-Time River, and the aura of the [Five Elements Demon Gods] came down.

"Perfect, let's see what kind of changes we'll encounter together."

Jing Yao's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"
