"Just a joke, don't mind it."

Xuanqing and Jing Yao quickly sat back down.

Jing Yao cheerfully said, "We're cultivating rapport with you, taking today as a test run. Next time when outsiders are present, you'll know what to do."

So I'm the outsider now, am I... Daoist Lord Yu Chen saw the relationship between Xuanqing and Jing Yao; these two were definitely not merely acquaintances and must have cooperated for a considerable amount of time.

Or perhaps,

'They come from the same organization.'

Daoist Lord Yu Chen was willing to treat everyone with sincerity, but that doesn't mean he was a naive simpleton.

He keenly noticed this, but didn't spell it out.

Instead, he asked Xuanqing a question: "Ruling the Primordial, is that even possible?"

Daoist Lord Yu Chen surveyed the five cities and twelve towers of White Jade City and realized that there were indeed many immortals here, but the ones who truly counted as Innate Divine Beings were only about a dozen.

Even if the number of Innate Divine Beings in White Jade City doubled in the future, attacking the Primordial would be tough going.

That's basically impossible, right?

"Well, that's hard to say."

Xuanqing thought for a moment, and said, "Regarding the 'Six-Step Strategy' we just mentioned, it boils down to one core idea: make more friends and fewer enemies."

"In theory, as long as you have enough friends and few enemies, forget about attacking the Primordial, you could even go arm-wrestle the Pangu God."

"Really?" Daoist Lord Yu Chen was deeply skeptical.

He felt that Xuanqing bringing up this example was clearly insinuating something.

Daoist Lord Yu Chen recalled the last group that went to "arm-wrestle" with the Pangu God.

Their end didn't seem particularly wonderful.

"Doesn't that mean, if White Jade City's goal is to rule the Primordial, its end might not be so bright?"

This time, Daoist Lord Yu Chen caught up with the rapport between Xuanqing and Jing Yao, choosing to exchange opinions with his eyes.

'To be frank, if they really think that way, then we can sit back and enjoy the show.'

'In fact, we've theorized that route, and trying to be the only ruler in the Primordial, dominating alone, is completely impossible.'

'Exactly, anyone with such thoughts and actions is either out of their mind or intentionally digging a pit for others.'

'With that effort, it's better to create your own Heaven, assemble a mini Primordial, and then play as the Ancestor of the Great Dao or the Heavenly Dao.'

'No kidding, let me tell you, I have created my own Heaven and even acted as Taishang Daoist Ancestor for a while, and it was quite exhilarating.'

"Thank you both, I understand now!" After receiving the responses from the two Daoists, Daoist Lord Yu Chen felt that joining White Jade City might not be the right choice.

At this moment, Xuanqing noticed that Hong Jun and Yang Mei were also paying attention to their discussion.

He cleared his throat and said, "Of course, the specific situation requires specific analysis."

"The Primordial is a grand stage, and which among the Innate Divine Beings doesn't want to put on a good show on this grand stage?"

"Whatever the plan, whatever the path, regardless of the final outcome, you have to step onto that stage first."

"If you don't take the stage, how do you know if it's right? If you don't take the stage, how do you know if it works?"

"Still the same saying, the Supreme True Realm, the Supreme Primordial, represent endless possibilities;"

"Here, everything is hopeful, only those who dare to dream and act hold the true doctrine. What if it succeeds, right?"

Daoist Lord Yu Chen watched as Xuanqing seemed to be speaking to an audience, he blinked thoughtfully, and cast a glance at the Third Heaven City.

Xuanqing continued, "Currently, White Jade City seems to be lacking somewhat overall, but look, they have the Da Luo Supreme, and not just one, but two!"

"What does Da Luo represent? It represents the boundlessness of the Dao, endless possibilities, a symbol of strength."

"Transcending time and space, once attained, forever affirmed, overlooking the rise and fall of all heavens through the ages, observing the cycle of endless epochs."

"Standing there, the two Da Luo Supremes are the direction of the Great Dao, you can't help but acknowledge it."

"Other forces really don't have this setup, at least not in this era. When it comes to top-tier combat power, White Jade City is far ahead."

"So, it's completely fine for White Jade City to step out and take the spotlight with this level of strength."

The two high-level figures, pretending to stroll, nodded in agreement.

Fengdu Daoist, your words have hit right home.

Love it!

Say more!

"But—" Xuanqing said, "Appearing on stage is one aspect, how the play is performed is another, and ultimately, how much say one gets on this stage is yet another."

"What do you mean?" Jing Yao naturally slipped into the role of the comic sidekick.

"Making an appearance is enough for these two Da Luo; everyone can accept that. But to bring your organization to the stage and still hold a certain weight requires more than just strength; it's also about what you can offer everyone."

"Just the word 'Immortal' is definitely not enough. That is the Dao of White Jade City, not the Dao of the Primordial Gods. When paths differ, they cannot plan together."

"You have great power, and the gods may flatter you, but they definitely won't play along."

The two Da Luo strolling around unknowingly stopped in their tracks, wearing smiles.

Truly someone they recognized as a Daoist, he had indeed hit the nail on the head.

"So what does it take for everyone to pitch in and help?" Jing Yao continued to ask.

Xuanqing replied, "Generally speaking, it boils down to boosting strength and expanding interests simultaneously. Enough real power allows one to stand longer on the stage, and greater interests develop more friendships."

"But, you see, the actual situation in Primordial is a bit different. No matter how strong you are or how vast your benefits, if you cannot create something sufficiently interesting to catch everyone's attention, there are many indifferent supreme gods."

"That's true." Daoist Lord Yu Chen and Jing Yao Venerable both nodded in agreement.

Innate Divine Beings exist with the Dao.

If there's one thing they all have in common, other than the pursuit of the Great Dao, it's that they all look for good fun.

Did the Innate Divine Beings go to the Dragon Clan's Main Temple to show support, and even join in as Dao Bodies, because the Dragon Clan is powerful and offers great benefits?

No, it's because the Dragon Clan knows how to stir things up.

The Chaos Pearl, oh! The Main Temple, oh! Who has ever seen such things before?

It's too rare; who wouldn't want to engage in such fun?

Likewise, you toy with the idea of Immortal Dao on your own, and I don't even want to look.

Now that there are two Da Luo, at most I'll give it a glance.

But if you have something like all the fun on one single street in White Jade City, I'd definitely come down to the stage to see what's going on.

"White Jade City is doing quite well as it is now."

Xuanqing honestly stated, "If White Jade City only wants to provide fun for everyone, to perform a good play, then the current effect is very satisfactory."

"But if White Jade City wishes to advance one step further, to gain adequate say in the Primordial True Realm, then it needs to organize a major event!"

"For instance, consider adding something to this 'Immortal' word."

"What to add?" Daoist Lord Yu Chen was spellbound

Hong Jun and Yang Mei paused to listen.

The Qiankun Immortal, Yin Yang Immortal, and Dian Dao Immortal also pricked up their ears in interest.

"Well—" Xuanqing drew out a long tail in his speech then abruptly ended the topic, "I haven't thought of it yet."

"Eh, let's drop this and go see the Gambling Immortal inside the Jade Tower."

With that, he grabbed his two befuddled Daoists and strode into the Jade Tower.

The five Great Immortals: "????"

We were getting into it; why stop now?

Finish your sentence!

Come back here!

The five Great Immortals were collectively furious.

Can we please be serious here?
