Chapter 252 I think my older brother is right
At this moment, Taishang also vaguely guessed what Bai Ze was really thinking.
Bai Ze's special visit to the three brothers was probably not out of concern or to inquire about their well-being, but rather to recruit them.
After all, he had seen Bai Ze recruiting the others.
However, this time, Bai Ze had to return empty-handed.
Not only Taishang, but even Yuanshi and Tongtian guessed what Bai Ze wanted.
However, all three of them had the same thought at this moment.
As their second uncle's nephews, why would they join someone else's ranks?
Although the Heavenly Court is powerful, it is currently the number one force in the prehistoric world, apart from those reclusive great clans.
Furthermore, he controls the thirty-six heavens established and laid out by his second uncle, based on his location.
He possessed countless innate spiritual treasures, spiritual plants, and spiritual herbs.
so what?
Do they, Sanqing, really need such a small amount?
If all else fails, they can just go find their second uncle!
Although the three Pure Ones appeared calm and unperturbed on the surface, Bai Ze, with his keen mind and sharp observation, could tell that these three fellow Daoists had probably figured out his true intentions for coming here.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Bai Ze decided to cut to the chase and directly asked the Three Pure Ones, "What do you three think of our Heavenly Court?"
Neither Taishang nor Yuanshi spoke when Bai Ze asked the question.
Tongtian immediately blurted out, "It is indeed extremely profound!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze was overjoyed, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Could it be... that recruiting the Three Pure Ones is possible?!
But before he could rejoice for long, Tongtian continued with a proud expression, "After all, this Heavenly Court was created and laid out by our second uncle, so of course it's mysterious!"
White Pond:"……"
Well, Bai Ze was overjoyed.
Just as he was about to say something more...
Yuanshi waved his hand and slowly spoke: "Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, we know what you are thinking, but we are afraid you will be disappointed. The three of us brothers have no intention of joining the demon race!"
Although Yuanshi's voice was soft and gentle, it seemed to conceal a subtle, irresistible force.
Ultimately, Yuanshi had absolutely no goodwill towards the demon race from the bottom of his heart.
And now Bai Ze is even thinking of recruiting him into the demon race.
Isn't this a direct provocation to his face?!
If it weren't for the fact that Bai Ze was somewhat polite in his speech, and that Di Jun was specially arranged by his second uncle to become the ruler of the Heavenly Court, he probably would have turned hostile long ago!
He is the most beloved nephew of the dignified and legitimate Pangu lineage, the supreme Daoist master of the primordial world.
You want him to associate with a group of people who don't know manners, don't cultivate virtue, and are born from moisture and eggs?
Could Yuan Shi really bear to lose face like this?
Does Yuan Shi seem like the kind of person who cultivates demonic energy?!
At this moment, although Bai Ze had already prepared himself mentally for this, when he actually heard Yuan Shi say these words, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration that was hard to hide.
Fortunately, it was neither him nor His Majesty.
From the very beginning, there was no intention to recruit the Three Pure Ones and others into the demon race.
Then Bai Ze smiled broadly and hurriedly explained, "Fellow Daoists, you misunderstand. With your status, wouldn't it be a waste of your talents to join our demon race?! His Majesty wishes to invite you to join our Heavenly Court, since, to be honest, His Majesty and you three do have some kind of connection!"
At this point, Bai Ze paused slightly, "You should know that our Heavenly Court was established in accordance with the Dao Venerable's will, to maintain the order of the Thirty-Six Heavens and to bring blessings to all living beings in the primordial world. In a sense, our Emperor can be considered half a disciple of the Dao Venerable, and the three of you are the Dao Venerable's nephews. Isn't this fate?!"
"By joining our Heavenly Court, the three of you are fulfilling the Dao Venerable's wishes and bringing blessings to all living beings in the primordial world! Moreover, once you three agree to join, your status in the Heavenly Court will be absolutely equal to His Majesty's! Apart from matters of great importance to the Heavenly Court, we will never trouble you three on ordinary days. In this way, you three can contribute to the primordial world without being bogged down in trivial matters. Isn't that wonderful?"
However, no matter how eloquently Bai Ze spoke, spitting as he spoke, Yuan Shi remained expressionless and unmoved.
Without even lifting an eyelid, he calmly and directly refused, "Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, there's no need for further words. I still have no intention of joining the Heavenly Court! Why don't you ask my eldest brother and third brother? Perhaps they will have some ideas!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze also turned to look at Taishang, the eldest of the Three Pure Ones.
Although Taishang also wanted to help his second uncle to benefit and expand the prehistoric world, he always felt that the Heavenly Court was not a good place.
Then, when he saw Bai Ze looking at him, Taishang smiled and said, "Yuanshi's intention is Taishang's intention!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze felt even more disappointed.
After a moment's hesitation, he turned his gaze to Tongtian.
Tongtian faced Bai Ze's gaze, pondered for a long time, and then spoke solemnly.
"I think my brother is right!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze fell silent.
He had originally thought that Tongtian, who had hesitated for so long, would say something.
After all that, all you say is, "You think what the older brother said is right?"
But the Three Pure Ones rejected him so resolutely.
Bai Ze didn't know what else to say.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Three Pure Ones, he made an excuse to leave.
However, the direction he left was the seat of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The three Qings exchanged glances as they watched Bai Ze depart.
After waving his hand, he created a barrier around himself that prevented others from observing him.
Yuanshi looked at Taishang and Tongtian with curiosity and asked softly, "Brother, Tongtian, why don't you agree to Bai Ze's request?"
Taishang smiled and shook his head, then asked in return, "Then why didn't you agree to his request?!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi sighed: "Brother, as you know, I have always despised those who are impolite, born from eggs, and driven by lust. Such people are most numerous among the demon race in the entire prehistoric world. Although Bai Ze did not ask me to join the demon race, you must know that the entire Heavenly Court is full of demons! How could I agree to that? Moreover, there are other options for benefiting the prehistoric world, so why should I endure it?"
Tongtian listened quietly to what Yuanshi had to say, and when he heard the first half of Yuanshi's words, he couldn't help but frown.
He clearly disagreed with the account of the first half of the Yuan Shi (元始) period.
After all, in his view, his second uncle's past behavior, although he was quite inclined to the image of an innate Dao body.
However, he did not harbor any resentment towards the other living beings because of this.
If Second Uncle really had some dissatisfaction with the demon race, then he wouldn't have allowed the demon race to be established.
Moreover, even those beings born after birth with shallow cultivation and dull talent, whom Second Brother referred to as those who do not follow etiquette and are born from eggs or moisture, Second Uncle actually has no prejudice against them.
Otherwise, my second uncle wouldn't have created the Six Paths of Reincarnation to preserve a sliver of life for those who have died.
On the contrary, my second uncle only imposed some restrictions on the appearance of those who came to pay homage to him.
Apart from that, Second Uncle didn't care what those creatures looked like or what path they cultivated.
Everything was treated equally.
Although Tongtian disagreed with the first half of Yuanshi's words, he agreed with Yuanshi's last sentence.
Joining the Heavenly Court isn't the only option for contributing to the primordial world.
Although Tongtian wasn't entirely opposed to joining the Heavenly Court, he had no immediate plans to join someone else.
He planned to travel through the prehistoric world again to verify whether the path in his heart was correct.
