Chapter 80 The Essence of Deception
In the void, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Handing over the Primordial Purple Qi is not difficult, but you two fellow Daoists must agree to some conditions."
Upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, Xihe and her sister narrowed their eyes and pondered silently.
What conditions?
The two sisters encountered Kunpeng, Styx, Nuwa, and Fuxi.
These people were all in dire straits, and their magical treasures were taken away.
However, the reason why Xihe and her sister still dared to seek out Dongwanggong was because they relied on their own strength.
Now, if we don't fight with the Eastern King Duke, we can obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, which is naturally a good thing.
"Fellow Daoist, let me hear what you have to say first." Xihe's eyes flickered with doubt.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao said with a sigh, "In truth, it is not my wish to dominate the primordial world and rise above all living beings."
"Only the gentle breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains are what I cherish most."
Upon hearing this, the Xihe sisters were dumbfounded. What are you saying?
If you don't like being above all living beings, why did you establish a Celestial Court?
But hearing Ling Xiao speak with such genuine emotion, it didn't seem like he was faking it...
"Five hundred years ago, you two fellow Daoists spent five hundred years discussing the Dao with me on the Taiyin Star. This Primordial Purple Qi is yours for the taking."
Ling Xiao said slowly.
Xihe was shocked and asked, "It's that simple?"
Ling Xiao smiled nonchalantly and said, "Afterwards, I will disband the Celestial Court, travel with immortals, live in seclusion in the mountains, and not concern myself with worldly affairs."
The Xihe sisters were deeply moved; the Eastern King Duke possessed such a serene state of mind…
Looking at all living beings, who can give up their ambition to dominate a region?
The countless creatures of the primordial world regarded the primordial purple aura as the supreme thing.
But why did he suddenly decide to live in seclusion in the mountains and regard the primordial purple aura as mere dirt?
"Alright, we sisters agree to your conditions, fellow Daoist."
Xihe spoke.
Although I don't understand the reason behind this, it's a good thing.
So, under the warm hospitality of Xihe and Changxi, the three of them arrived together on the Taiyin Star, where the moonlight was slightly cool.
Walking along the path where osmanthus blossoms were falling everywhere, the three chatted and laughed.
We started by discussing the great calamity at the beginning of time, and then moved on to the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic.
The expansion of the Wu tribe is unstoppable, and the rapid development of the two Golden Crows of the Sun Star is alarming.
"Fellow Daoists, after I leave the Primordial World, my Ten Immortal Lords and One Hundred and Twenty Great Luo Golden Immortals will lose a piece of the sky."
The primordial spiritual root, the laurel tree, stretched out over the primordial world's womb. Under the dappled moonlight, Ling Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, his eyes filled with deep melancholy.
As the Xihe sisters watched his retreating figure, they thought of the peerless powerhouses in the Celestial Court…
"The Ten Quasi-Saints and over a hundred Grand Luo Golden Immortals need two fellow Daoists to take them in."
Ling Xiao turned around and said firmly.
The Xihe sisters were shocked. How could this be considered taking in someone?
Don't you see, Emperor Jun and Taiyi have gone mad, searching the entire prehistoric world for cultivators to join the Sun Star. I've heard they're even planning to conquer the Dragon Clan soon.
Even just one of the Ten Quasi-Saints is of immeasurable value!
"Fellow Daoist, you're joking!!" Xihe's heart trembled.
Ling Xiao frowned and said, "I hit it off with you two at first sight, which is why I wanted to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi to you! Fellow Daoists, are you unwilling to even help with such a small favor?"
Changxi's peach blossom eyes were filled with shock. After calming herself down, she said, "I...I can help! But you absolutely cannot say you'll take me in..."
Even if these sisters had some strength, they couldn't possibly swallow ten Quasi-Saints and one hundred and twenty Great Luo Golden Immortals in one go!
Ling Xiao said calmly, "When I became the leader of the male immortals, they joined the Celestial Court and received many favors from me. They have already secretly served me as their master."
Upon hearing this, the Xihe sisters were completely stunned!
To serve someone as one's master is to be an extremely loyal subordinate!
What kind of miraculous power does the Eastern King Duke possess?
For a moment, the Xihe sisters looked at Lingxiao with curiosity in their eyes.
"Actually, it's not about you taking them in, but about you sisters ruling over them!"
Ling Xiao's eyes reddened as he said, "Xi He, do you know? The moment I saw you, it was like a dream, as if I were seeing my long-lost sister from my childhood."
"If I were to live in seclusion in the mountains and search for my lost sister, how would you sisters survive, alone and isolated?"
Upon hearing this, it was as if a thunderbolt struck the minds of the Xihe sisters.
They stared blankly at Ling Xiao.
In an instant, I understood everything.
Why doesn't the Eastern King Duke give the Primordial Purple Qi to someone else?
Xihe felt a pang of disappointment, thinking to herself, "So, it's just that I look like his sister."
"Dongwanggong...brother, there's no need to worry."
Xihe was grateful and solemnly bowed to Lingxiao.
Ling Xiao waved his hand, took a few steps forward, turned his back to the two women, and said, "My mind is made up. Ten Immortal Lords and one hundred and twenty Great Luo Golden Immortals will protect you two day and night on this Taiyin Star."
Upon hearing this, the Xihe sisters felt a mix of emotions. Since they had taken human form, they had relied on each other for survival and had never experienced the feeling of being cherished and protected.
Looking at the towering figure before me, which seemed like a mountain, even though I had a thousand words in my heart, they all turned into a lump in my throat.
"You will definitely find your sister!"
"What did she look like? Did she leave you any words when you were separated from her?"
Changxi reached out and wiped her peach blossom eyes, then slowly asked.
"At that time, I contracted a strange disease that caused my body to grow red hair. I needed a chaotic divine medicine to cure it."
"She went to Chaos alone and has not returned to this day."
"She only told me before she left that I should wait for her return in the mortal world."
Ling Xiao's eyes gleamed with reminiscence as he said, "I still remember that before my sister left, she told me to plant many osmanthus trees in front of our house. When the osmanthus leaves covered the sky and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms filled the air, she might be able to return home a little earlier..."
Upon hearing this...
Xihe and Changxi both sighed. Where did that lost girl go?
It seems his sister really likes osmanthus trees.
"Have you planted many osmanthus trees in front of your house?"
Changxi asked.
Ling Xiao shook his head and sighed, "Over the years, I've been focused on dominating the prehistoric world. Looking back now, those ordinary moments are actually incredibly precious."
The Xihe sisters, being women, were sensitive and thoughtful. Hearing such touching words, they couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold!
A feeling of wanting to save him welled up inside me!
"Hurry home and plant more osmanthus trees. My sister and I will help you. Maybe our little sister will come back tomorrow?"
Changxi urged.
Xihe said, "Don't plant it! Since she likes osmanthus trees, let's give this innate osmanthus tree to my brother."
"May she find her way home soon and reunite with her brother."
However, Ling Xiao immediately refused, vowing never to accept it.
However, the Xihe sisters were getting anxious.
Despite their repeated attempts to persuade him, they said that if Ling Xiao refused, they would give up the Primordial Purple Qi as well.
In the end, Ling Xiao could only helplessly accept the laurel tree, a top-grade innate spiritual root.
Xihe and Changxi communicated telepathically.
"After the Eastern King Duke withdrew from the prehistoric world, he searched for his sister alone and traveled through the chaos. It was too dangerous."
"We will give him some of our respective magical treasures, so that he can use them for self-defense."
