He spoke slowly, "Your Majesty might not be aware, within this Primordial Universe, the Kunlun Divine Mountain is actually divided into two lineages: 'East Kunlun' and 'West Kunlun'."

"The Dao Field where we three brothers reside is the East Kunlun Yuxu Palace in the Eastern Immortal Realm. Though it's also considered full of spiritual beauty and abundant Immortal Qi, when it comes to the illustrious fame of the 'Ancestor of All Mountains, Land of the Gods', and its esteemed position in the hearts of the Primordial Ten Thousand Clans, especially those ancient Goddesses..."

Xuanqing dragged out his intonation purposely, a sly glint flashed in his eyes, and continued, "Actually, what this legend truly refers to is the Yaochi Holy Realm located in the distant Primordial Western lands—West Kunlun!"

"Therefore, if the Heavenly Emperor truly seeks someone capable of presiding over a domain and with deep ties to the 'Land of the Gods' to assume the position of the Divine Sect Leader, then, in my humble view, you perhaps... should go consult with the master of West Kunlun—Yaochi Golden Mother Daoist friend regarding this matter."

"Given Yaochi Daoist friend's revered status among the Primordial Fairy Maidens and her supreme authority over the Rosters of the Myriad Immortals and command over the Immortals, wouldn't it be more legitimate and convincing for her to take the post of this Divine Sect Leader than we three brothers?"

Upon hearing Xuanqing's "serious nonsense" and his textbook-level perfect passing of responsibility, Taiyi nearly choked on his own saliva! He felt truly vexed inside!

Good heavens! These Three Pure Ones, indeed each is more "crafty" than the last!

The Empress Nuwa passed the responsibility to them, and they simply want to pass it right back to the Yaochi Golden Mother far away in West Kunlun!

If they go to seek Yaochi Golden Mother, wouldn't she end up passing it on to someone else too?

Is the position of the Divine Sect Leader really so hot to handle?! Though Taiyi was cursing inwardly, he still maintained a respectful smile on his face and did not immediately express whether he wanted to go to West Kunlun or not. Instead, he sat down generously on a guest cushion in Yuxu Palace, presenting an attitude of "if you don't give me a clear answer today, I'm not leaving."

He understood that dealing with those old foxes like the Three Pure Ones, simply appealing through reason and emotion was useless; sometimes, appropriately "playing dumb" and "wasting time" could yield unexpected results.

As expected, upon seeing Taiyi's "I'm not leaving unless you kill me" stance, the Three Pure Ones exchanged meaningful glances, apparently conducting some silent "bargaining" and "division of responsibilities."

Eventually, it was the most steady and adept at smooth mediation, Taishang Daojun, who lightly coughed and spoke, "Heavenly Emperor, regarding this position of Divine Sect Leader... the three of us are all outsiders, accustomed to a carefree life, and really find it somewhat overwhelming to hold a position that manages a sect and leads the gods. It's indeed not too suitable for us to take on this role." "However," Taishang Daojun changed his tone, a gentle smile of 'thinking for you' appeared on his face, "Since Your Majesty is determined to promote this 'Divine Sect' cause, we as part of the Primordial cannot stand idly by; we must relieve your worries and difficulties." "How about this, concerning the selection of the leader, though we cannot take up the role, perhaps we... could offer your Majesty a new perspective, which counts as our slight contribution." Taiyi was delighted upon hearing this, knowing a turn had been reached, and hastily bowed, "Please, Heavenly Venerate, instruct me!" Taishang Daojun stroked his long beard slowly, "If Your Majesty genuinely intends to unify the hearts of the Primordial Ten Thousand Clans in the name of the 'Divine Clan', then the most critical point is to release sufficient major benefits that will move everyone, thereby attracting the holy gods of all heavens and powerful innate races with far-reaching influence." "After all, nothing comes without a benefit; to have everyone willingly rally under your 'Divine Sect' and 'Divine Clan,' you must provide them with tangible advantages." "I don't know... Your Majesty, if you think, in this newly founded 'Divine Clan,' by imitating the system of ancient Human Race sages, also establishing the supreme, all-powerful 'Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' divine positions, and clearly stipulating that these positions would be taken in turns by the various race leaders or top great powers who contribute the most to the 'Divine Clan', possess the highest merit and greatest strength, would... you accept such a proposal?" Ka~~~~~!!! Just as Taishang Daojun's words fell, unexpectedly and without any sign, a deafening thunderclap, as if to split the entire Grotto Heaven, resounded within the Taixu Cave Heaven belonging to Nuwa far away and had only just stabilized! Nuwa, who was quietly deducing the feasibility of "Clay Creation of Pangu" within the Grotto Heaven, was startled by this sudden thunder. She looked up sharply at the direction the sound came from, then swiftly pinched her fingers, performing a Heavenly Secret calculation. Moments later, Nuwa's exceptionally beautiful face displayed a complex expression of being amused yet understanding. She extended her delicate jade finger, pointing towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain, and muttered helplessly to herself, "Alright then! You few old guys... truly are... one more cunning than the other!" "I just passed the buck to you here, and you are so good, you intend to drag the entire Human Race, and even the whole of Primordial Ten Thousand Clans into the water, to accompany you in playing this 'Divine Clan' big game?!" "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors... what a thing for you to come up with!"
