" "Bullshit! Fellow daoist, you are talking nonsense with your rump thrust up in the air! " Taishi laughed in his fury: "We Five Supreme Ones were born for the sake of the universe—not to attain the dao, but to protect this universe as it grows!
You should go and take a look at Black Mountain Holy Land. Is there a single vein of ore there that does not hide primeval powerhouses waiting to steal in? If those fellows descend, do you think you can keep yourselves out of it? Even if you attain the dao, they will dig you right out of the Daluo Heaven! " Lady Taiyin's face flushed despite herself, and she said coldly, "Taishi, we honor you for having been born early, and so we call you Taoist Brother!
Otherwise, by order of emergence into the world, you should be calling us Taoist Brothers! Do not presume upon your age!
Now—will you yield, or not?
" Taishi in the egg was enraged: "Taiyang, fellow daoist, rein in your sister! Of the Five Supreme Ones of the primordial, Taiyi had his body seized, Taichu has become the running dog of a young master of the primeval universe, Taisu was killed by Hao Tianzun—only we remain! If you two connive with Hao Tianzun and Taichu any longer, I alone will be left as the only upright one—" Boom! Lady Taiyin could bear it no longer.
The Taiji Starfield became a River of Stars that coiled up the round egg and smashed it down heavily: "You have not even emerged into the world, and yet you come to lecture us! " Taishi was smashed dizzy and reeling. Dao patterns emerged all over the outside of the egg, shaking the surrounding River of Stars loose, and he said furiously, "Taiji, I honored the vast resolve in you—your willingness to hatch early and emerge into the world, to attain the dao by passing through the red dust.
I took you for people who understood reason. I never expected you to be so worthless! Never mind attaining the dao—you will not even keep your lives!
" Lady Taiyin said angrily, "Brother, this Taishi is a fool.
Held up here by him, we will have a hard time answering to Hao Tianzun and Taoist Brother Taichu. Since he stubbornly refuses to see reason—" The Taiyang ancient god hesitated, then said politely, "Taoist Brother Taishi, the Five Supreme Ones are of one flesh and blood.
You are our elder brother, but Taichu is our elder brother as well. Please, Taoist Brother, make way. " Taishi in the egg said angrily, "I will not yield. Will you step over my corpse, then?
" "Then we shall have to step over your corpse. " The Taiyang ancient god and Lady Taiyin joined hands; their serpent tails entwined, they roused the Taiji sand table, and the whole starfield seethed!
Taishi in the egg shuddered with dread and hastily strode forward within the egg to charge out, crying in a fury, "You would even kill your elder brother—you are ruthless enough! Mu Tianzun, you never told me these two were such hard cases…
Eh?
" He gave a startled cry, and suddenly felt a coolness on both legs—his two legs had somehow passed through the eggshell and were racing along, bearing the divine egg on a mad dash!
Lady Taiyin's earlier blow had cracked his eggshell open, and in his panic his two legs had kicked two great holes in it.
"I'm done for… " Taishi's mind went blank; as he ran, the eggshell around him cracked apart with snaps and cracks, and then the light of the Taiji Starfield shone in from outside.
