Dao Equaling the Heavens

Xiao Yunyi's Sword Intent incarnation, Jun Yan, Hee Huan.

Hee Huan hasn't had much interaction with the other two, but as the saying goes, a friend's friend is also a friend. Living in the same heaven and earth in the future, naturally they should have more contact.

Xie Yunnan stood aside, with lowered eyes.

Seeing Gu Wen walk in, the three stopped their conversation, and everyone's gaze turned to him.

Gu Wen took a seat and said, "Why wasn't I invited to the private session?"

Jun Yan teased, "If you aren't busy holding the two Heavenly Immortal Daoist Couples while sleeping, why are you here with us? Or is it three?"

"Who's the third one?"

Xiao Yunyi looked puzzled. Living in the Cultivation World, he naturally didn't know much about Gu Wen's family matters.

In his memory, the women closest to Gu Wen were Chi Yu Zi and Yu Hua, both of whom had already become Daoist Couples with Gu Wen.

Jun Yan answered, "That damned Bald Donkey."

Damned Bald Donkey.

Upon hearing his friend's unabashed hostility, Xiao Yunyi immediately knew who it was. His eyes widened slightly, feeling a bit surprised: "Brother Gu is extraordinarily talented, attracting so many extraordinary women is only natural."

When it comes to romance, Gu Wen had the most in their generation.

As the number one of his generation, and the only first on the Three Lists in thousands of years, he overshadowed everyone else, and naturally wouldn't lack admirers.

Moreover, Gu Wen had a certain common appeal, or perhaps a sense of human warmth. Compared to those who were pure-minded and abstinent, he could more easily stir people's desires.

Often, only when one side responds, does the other begin to have feelings.

Like his friend Chi Yu Zi, they've known each other for so many years, yet even though they are male and female, nothing ever blossomed between them.

But with Gu Wen, Chi Yu Zi showed a different side.

Chi Yu Zi once mocked Gu Wen for not having a firm Dao Heart, being filled with worldly desires, and swayed by flowery temptations. Xiao Yunyi didn't delve deeply, but could roughly guess that Gu Wen had seen Chi Yu Zi's body.

Gu Wen's face darkened, and he said, "Master Yu and I are innocent, don't spread rumors. She's a monk."

Jun Yan held back laughter and said, "Chi Yu Zi is also a monk, and the Heavenly Girl is half of one."

Xiao Yunyi earnestly said, "Most sects in the Cultivation World are monks, especially many Buddhist sects. The Demon Sect has fewer, but mainstream sects still uphold monastic tradition."

Hee Huan patted Gu Wen's shoulder, wearing an expression of 'only I understand'.

He meaningfully said, "When women quarrel, just step out; when women fight, go into closed cultivation. It's best to let them resolve it themselves, and hopefully, one among them can take the lead."

"The worst is when everyone wants to lead, but none yields to another."

Gu Wen rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze to the silent Xie Yunnan, changing the topic, "Yu Nan has grown up too. There were quite a few pursuing you back then. Any that caught your eye?"

Xie Yunnan blinked, a bit bewildered, wondering why the question suddenly targeted him.

Before he could reply, Xiao Yunyi, protective like a family guard, coldly said, "In cultivation and refining heart, how can one be disturbed by earthly desires?"

Gu Wen shifted his tone, "What's an ancient relic like you meddling so much for? If Yu Nan were in Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment, you could manage. But now being a True Monarch, why act like a Family Head?"

"Did we go through hardships then, just so the juniors can repeat them? Jun Yan, what do you all say?"

Taken aback by being counterblamed, Xiao Yunyi was a bit flustered, unable to argue effectively, but firmly opposed to letting his disciple become entangled with someone unworthy.

Jun Yan noticed Gu Wen was diverting the topic but didn't mind giving Xiao Yunyi a hard time, joking, "Indeed, Fool Xiao, you're too meddlesome. Does your junior nephew have anyone in mind?"

Xie Yunnan regained his senses and quickly shook his head, "This junior has no one in mind and doesn't plan to..."

"Whether you plan or not is your issue." Gu Wen interrupted, "We uncles are fighting for your right. You must think your master is too controlling, right?"

Xie Yunnan hesitated for a moment, which led to laughter from the others.

Laughter spread inside and outside the Immortal Mansion.

Suddenly, a wisp of Dao charm permeated the Little Heaven and Earth, and a big sun appeared in the sky.

Everyone looked up, showing a hint of surprise. Their gaze passed over the Sky Dome, capturing a woman within the big sun.

Jun Yan was unsure and said, "Is Chi Yu Zi about to achieve Immortality? How could it be so fast?"

So far, Xiao Yunyi still lagged by half a step, unsure when he could make that breakthrough. Even if Chi Yu Zi was stronger, she shouldn't surpass Xiao Yunyi in speed.

"Probably." Xiao Yunyi stared, then turned to Gu Wen beside him, "Something feels off with this aura, it's not entirely Chi Yu Zi's."

"It's Chi Ling; she's giving her Dao to Chi Yu Zi."

Gu Wen contemplated and decided not to intervene.

Achieving Immortality is extremely hard. Among everyone present, only Xiao Yunyi had the potential to become Immortal. The others would need external aid.

To put it bluntly, Chi Yu Zi's chances of achieving Immortality on her own are about one percent; even with another ten thousand years of cultivation, it would only be ten percent.

So it's better to take the shortcut and directly use her sister's Great Tao.

Seeing Gu Wen take no action, everyone relaxed, stretched contentedly, and began appreciating the golden Great Tao.

In the following months, Gu Wen stayed at Jun Yan's Immortal Mansion, drinking happily with Xiao Yunyi and Hee Huan, sometimes discussing Tao, sometimes dabbled in current social entertainment, living a very joyful life.

After having Daoist Couples, Gu Wen found he enjoyed spending time with his brothers more.

————————————

Three months later, Yu Hua came knocking.

Dressed in her usual ethereal white, Yu Hua entered Jun Yan's Immortal Mansion, standing out in contrast to the slightly dark surroundings, like a bright moon in the night.

At this time, Gu Wen was drinking with Jun Yan and others.
