This primordial world is extraordinary.

Chapter 43: The Taoist Xiyi's Rank Improvement

"Fellow Daoist Yangmei, please don't be angry. Perhaps they are right. We should prioritize the greater good."

On the other side, the trio of Yangmei, Xiyi, and Hongjun naturally sat together.

Xi Yi was essentially a kind-hearted person; he didn't react much even when Luo Hou replaced him.

"It's not that I, the old Taoist, am unwilling to yield; it's that Yin Yang and Kunwu are in cahoots, mocking me. How could I tolerate that?" Yang Mei explained.

He is not an impulsive person at heart, and he doesn't even compete or fight for anything.

That's how personality templates work.

After he calmed down, he started thinking.

Why did I act so impulsively? Was it simply because Kunwu spoke so harshly?

I'm afraid not.

And yesterday's gains have made me a lot of progress, a one-fifth improvement – ​​how could I give up such a temptation?

That's why I acted impulsively and irrationally this time.

Before I could even think of it myself, my instincts had already started to react.

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is just like how Luo Hou immediately stood up to protect Kunpeng.

Luo Hou couldn't understand why this instinct wasn't genuine gratitude towards Kunpeng, but rather the realization that without Kunpeng, the primordial world would revert to its previous lifeless state.

Their days were spent struggling to make ends meet, their lives as uneventful as still water.

This is the reason why Rahu, Qiankun, and the Yin-Yang Daoist instinctively protected Kunpeng.

"I'm afraid our performance has disappointed Fellow Daoist Kunpeng," Hongjun said.

This is truly a compassionate and benevolent being who loves all living beings. I was disappointed when I thought of Kunpeng.

But it also seems to have a hint of instinctive protectiveness.

He also wanted to complete the primordial chaos and grow stronger.

He was still looking forward to the pie in the sky that Kunpeng had promised: he would govern the primordial world with his own ideas, while Luo Hou would govern a region with his own ideas, and they would see whose ideas were better.

When Kunpeng was mentioned, Yangmei fell silent.

…………

"Fellow Daoists, is everyone here?"

It was supposed to be an awkward morning; the conflicts and disagreements from last night needed to be resolved today.

Some are scheming, some are thinking, and some are uneasy.

suddenly!

A voice broke everyone's train of thought, including Kunpeng's.

A man rushed in, covered in dust, with a chess set at his waist and a small, exquisite pagoda in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Cangqiong?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist blurted out the words.

As soon as he blurted it out, Kunpeng knew who the newcomer was. Wasn't this the second lunatic?

Is he waiting with Wang Shuqian for the one who will take over the sky?

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, Fellow Daoist Kunwu... Hello fellow Daoists? And who is this?" Cang Qiong did not recognize Kunpeng.

He had heard of the other seven even if he had never met them.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the Kunpeng Fellow Daoist I mentioned. Have you come to your senses?" Xi Yi's previously troubled face suddenly lit up with joy.

He was a good man, and he was naturally apprehensive about such an awkward and uncomfortable situation, not wanting his fellow Daoists to be at odds.

He didn't sleep all night because of this situation, thinking that he would try to ease things up the next day.

But after thinking about it all night, I still couldn't figure out how to do it.

suddenly!

The sudden appearance of the Azure Sky Daoist caught his eye.

The one who broke this deadlock is you, Daoist Cangqiong.

Thus, the Celestial Daoist was bewildered, and everyone else was confused.

"Fellow Daoist Cangqiong, have you noticed the changes in the sky?" Xi Yi asked proactively.

"Uh, yes!"

"That's right, it's the big thing we did. How about it, fellow Daoist? Aren't we amazing?" Xi Yi said.

"Wow, amazing, amazing!" Daoist Cangqiong was truly dumbfounded.

He thought to himself: Fellow Daoist Xiyi isn't like this. Isn't he always spouting benevolence and righteousness and using classical Chinese phrases? How come he seems like a completely different person?

"Of course, this is what we've gained these past few days. I'm not lying to you. In our primordial world... if you don't believe me, ask your fellow Daoists. Look at how happy they are. Don't you understand?" Xi Yi continued.

"Uh, this?" The Azure Sky Daoist was someone who liked to listen to advice, and it was starting to have an effect.

He looked at everyone, and they all nodded in agreement that Xi Yi was right.

Having received everyone's nods of approval, Cang Qiong was greatly shocked. It turned out to be true; Xi Yi had not lied to him. The Primordial World was indeed facing a problem and needed his salvation.

This is what Xi Yi said: "Look how happy you all are, fellow Daoists?"

I really didn't see that coming.

But no matter what, this is a huge deal.

"Do you understand now?"

Xi Yi was pleased to see that he was shocked.

"I understand." Cang Qiong nodded, then added, "But I still don't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

Xi Yi was filled with anticipation.

He was practically yelling: "What don't you understand? Ask away! Ask away!"

As expected, Cang Qiong did not disappoint him, asking, "Since it's such an important matter, why are you all so sullen? I don't see any joy among you fellow Daoists."

"Clap! Great question!" Xi Yi clapped his hands excitedly, completely unable to contain himself.

"Huh?" Cang Qiong was startled. What's wrong with him? Is he crazy?

"Haha..." Xi Yi was embarrassed.

Although things were proceeding as I envisioned and the plan was very successful, I couldn't resist the urge to act, so this wasn't entirely perfect. I need to strengthen my training in this area.

"I say, that's a good question. Why are you all unhappy? I'm puzzled as well," Xi Yi said.

"Ah, right?" The dazed Cangqiong Daoist had been in a daze ever since he entered the arena.

"Perhaps it's due to the decline of morality and selfishness. Most importantly, it's about not prioritizing the greater good and being extremely vulnerable in adversity."

Xi Yi, this civilized man, has finally learned to use the language of a civilized person.

The Yin-Yang Taoist felt a sense of familiarity; it seemed to be his own words.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Cangqiong, I am Kunpeng."

Kunpeng entered only after the Taoist Xiyi finished his performance.

I was very satisfied. As I thought last night, I was right. I wanted them to perform and compete.

The Taoist Xiyi then leveled up.

As for the others, especially Kunwu Daoren, Yin Yang Daoren, Yangmei Daoren, and others, they were quite frustrated by Xiyi's performance.

This Daoist Xiyi was warmly welcoming the heavens!

This is clearly a masterful slap in the face to us all.

Luo Hou didn't seem to care, but he was greatly shocked by Xi Yi's progress.

It turns out that not only has he evolved, but Xi Yi, this kind-hearted guy, has also evolved and upgraded, making him feel immense pressure.

"You are Fellow Daoist Kunpeng? Is this all true?" Cang Qiong asked after returning the greeting.

"As you can see, it's all true. Even the changes in the sky are the same," Kunpeng said.

Xi Yi has already told Cang Qiong everything she needed to say. Since she still doesn't understand Cang Qiong's personality, she shouldn't say too much and should observe him further.

"Alas, I should have listened to your advice. I didn't trust Fellow Daoist Xiyi," Cang Qiong said with some regret.

Kunpeng's first impression of this posture seems alright.

She should be easy to get along with, at least she'll listen to advice.

"It's alright, it's alright," Kunpeng laughed. "It's not too late, it's not too late."

"Yes, thankfully it's not too late. This humble Daoist Cangqiong has now officially reported for duty. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, for everything you have done. You have made a great contribution."

Cang Qiong bowed solemnly.
