Chapter 738 - 411: Ascending to the Pinnacle, Inheriting Pangu's Will!
Immortal Yang Mei did not stand on ceremony and calmly took a seat. He first picked up the teacup, took a gentle sip, and felt the refreshing tea aroma and the mysterious Dao rhyme contained within, which could cleanse the primordial spirit. He couldn't help but praise, "Good tea! Truly good tea! It seems that today, this humble Daoist is fortunate indeed."
"If fellow Daoist likes it, upon your departure, I shall offer you some," Xuanqing replied with a faint smile and then shifted the conversation to the main topic, "I wonder, for what reason has fellow Daoist specifically come to my Yuxu Palace today? Could it be... it's also for the position of 'Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the Divine Clan'?"
Upon hearing this, Immortal Yang Mei slowly shook his head, his deep eyes, which seemed to see through the mysteries of space, flashed a complex and unreadable light. He sighed softly, "The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, with immeasurable merit and fortune, are certainly good. But... that is not the Dao that I seek."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Three Pure Ones, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity and... relief.
"This humble Daoist has come today, in truth... to bid a formal farewell to the three fellow Daoists."
"A farewell?" The Three Pure Ones were slightly taken aback upon hearing this and looked at each other, seeing a trace of confusion in one another's eyes.
"Indeed." Immortal Yang Mei nodded, putting down the teacup in his hand and slowly standing up, looking towards the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace, his eyes filled with endless emotion and reminiscence.
"Hong Jun... ultimately walked the path aligned with the Heavenly Dao, a path that seems bright but has long predetermined its conclusion, a 'road of no return.'"
"And Luo Hou... in the endless demonic Qi and the karma of sentient beings in the Western Land, found his own alternative 'eternity' by proving Dao through 'destruction' and 'end.'"
"Thinking of us three, from the moment we gained consciousness in Chaos, together we went through the bloody years of the Three Thousand Demigods' struggle, and together we witnessed the supreme achievements of Pangu God's Creation of Heaven and Earth. Between us, there were conflicts, schemes, and we even... joined hands."
"Now, they both have found their own 'destination,' but only this humble Daoist... still drifts like a lone boat in the Primordial, unable to find the true 'Other Shore' that brings peace to my heart."
The voice of Immortal Yang Mei carried a faint touch of desolation and solitude, but deep in his eyes burned an immortal flame of unwavering pursuit of a higher level of the Great Dao.
"So, this humble Daoist... has decided to leave."
"Leave?" Daoist Lord Yu Chen raised an eyebrow and inquired, "When you say 'leave,' do you mean to leave the Primordial True Realm, or..."
"To leave the entire 'Primordial Universe' opened by Pangu God that we know!" Immortal Yang Mei's answer was firm and unequivocal!
He turned his head to look back at the Three Pure Ones, his eyes shining with unprecedented brilliance, and said in a solemn voice, "The Primordial is good, but its Law is set, its Order is established. For this humble Daoist, the Space Path here has reached its end, and no further progress can be made."
"This humble Daoist wishes to venture into that broader yet more chaotic 'Endless Chaos,' to travel, to explore, to seek the legendary, possibly existing 'Different Universes' opened by Chaos Demon Gods or naturally evolved!"
"This humble Daoist wants to see, in those Universes completely different from the Primordial, in what wondrous ways 'space' exists? How does the 'Great Dao' manifest in such unimaginable forms?"
"Perhaps, only in that endless unknown and exploration, can this humble Daoist truly comprehend the extreme of 'space' and find the unique 'Taiyi' and even 'Eternal' path that belongs to me, Yang Mei!"
The Three Pure Ones fell into silence upon hearing this.
They knew that Yang Mei's words were not spoken on impulse, but rather the most solemn and determined decision made after countless Primordial Meetings of deep reflection.
For a seeker who has already reached the peak of the Great Dao yet cannot take that final step, this perhaps... is indeed the only and best choice.
After a long time, it was Xuanqing who first opened his mouth, breaking the silence. He solemnly cupped his hands toward Immortal Yang Mei and said, "Fellow Daoist's ambition is grand and magnificent, this humble Daoist... deeply respects it! Since fellow Daoist has made up your mind, we brothers will not insist on keeping you."
"However, fellow Daoist, as you venture forth, Chaos is boundless and fraught with peril. Please... take great care!"
"Haha, thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist." Immortal Yang Mei, hearing this, displayed a free and easy smile, "This humble Daoist has spent a lifetime accompanied by space, and considers myself somewhat adept at 'escaping' and 'surviving,' so I do not think I will fall easily outside."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something and took from his sleeve an ancient token, carved entirely from an Innate Willow Wood Heart, exuding a rich space Dao rhyme, and handed it to the Three Pure Ones.
"Fellow Daoists, my departure this time is indefinite; it may be several Primordial Meetings, or... never to return."
"My Dao Field at the East Sea of Primordial—Yujing Mountain, has been my place of secluded cultivation since the Creation of Heaven and Earth, and holds within it some of the books and disciples who have not yet made a name."
"Today, I entrust Yujing Mountain, along with everything upon it, completely... into the hands of the three fellow Daoists."
