Chapter 356: Compromise!

Only by doing so could the safety of the Primordial World be ensured, allowing Ancestor Hongjun to continue cultivating in the same manner as before.

Moreover, he had somewhat discerned Ye Tian's character. From the moment Ye Tian appeared until now, despite showcasing immense strength, he had never revealed any ambition to dominate the Primordial World.

Thus, as long as Ye Tian refrained from causing any disruptions, Ancestor Hongjun was willing to make significant concessions to him, particularly on matters like offending the Heavenly Dao.

So, when the Heavenly Dao erupted in fury, Ancestor Hongjun continuously pacified it, using his control over the Heavenly Dao to calm it down. Since Ye Tian had not yet made a choice, he certainly couldn't allow Ye Tian to sense any trouble.

Ye Tian, of course, noticed the anger of the Heavenly Dao. However, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World was no longer a concern for him and had no way to affect him.

Not to mention the Heavenly Dao's fury—even if it opposed him outright, there was nothing to fear.

Furthermore, he understood Ancestor Hongjun's thoughts. Even though the Heavenly Dao was enraged, Ancestor Hongjun hadn't uttered a single word of complaint against Ye Tian, let alone dared to express any dissatisfaction.

While those with lesser strength might harbor doubts about the sudden fury of the Heavenly Dao, being unaware of the cause, the various Saints could naturally deduce the reason.

[Tongtian Jiaozhu: "The anomalies in the Three Realms and the sudden wrath of the Heavenly Dao must be due to the emergence of this treasure. Such an artifact has never existed in the Primordial World before, indicating that it is incompatible with this realm."]

[Jieyin Bodhisattva: "The Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror possesses highly unique abilities, as similar powers already exist within the Heavenly Dao. The overlap of these abilities inevitably leads to conflict, something even the Heavenly Dao cannot avoid!"]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: "Although the second reward is also a Chaos Spirit Treasure, it differs from the first in terms of its special abilities. With the Heavenly Dao now enraged, if Ye Tian chooses this treasure, he will need to think carefully!"]

[Laozi: "There's no need to overthink it. Given the power Ye Tian has demonstrated, he won't fear any of this. Even when faced with the Question Card, he chose without hesitation, fearing no enemy. If he sets his sights on the second reward, he likely won't care about anything else!"]

[Nüwa: "But if he chooses the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror, what will happen to the Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Dao is in turmoil—does he intend to defy it?"]

[Zhunti: "Ye Tian's strength is not lacking. As a Saint of the Heavenly Dao, even if he were to clash with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, he would have nothing to fear!"]

[Ancestor Hongjun: "This is a reward issued by the Golden List. For now, no one can stop it. This matter has little to do with the Heavenly Dao, so there's no need to overthink it. Just wait to see what Ye Tian chooses!"]

Since even Ancestor Hongjun had spoken, the others had no room for concern. However, from his words, these Saints could sense some concessions being made. They now understood that even Ancestor Hongjun had to compromise when facing Ye Tian and could not oppose him.

This was something they had never anticipated. Before Ye Tian appeared, Ancestor Hongjun was the undisputed authority in the Primordial World, and no one dared to defy his will. Anyone who went against the Heavenly Dao would meet only one end: death.

But now, things were different. Ye Tian's strength rendered him unafraid of the Heavenly Dao. In front of Ye Tian, Ancestor Hongjun was merely an equal-level cultivator at best. From Ancestor Hongjun's repeated concessions, it was clear that Ye Tian consistently held the upper hand in their interactions.

Even if Ye Tian chose the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror, which clashed with the Heavenly Dao, Ancestor Hongjun would have no objections.

After Ye Tian voiced his decision, the previously turbulent Heavenly Dao was suddenly pacified, as Ancestor Hongjun exerted all his strength to suppress it.

Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Tian, waiting to see his choice.

[Ye Tian: "I choose the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror. The Chaos Spirit Treasure blade is too redundant for me, but the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror piques my curiosity!"]

Once Ye Tian made his choice and retrieved the reward, the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror entered the Primordial World.

At that moment, the Heavenly Dao erupted into chaos again. Spiritual energy raged and surged violently, and this phenomenon occurred everywhere.

The cause of this situation was that even the Heavenly Dao could not pinpoint Ye Tian's exact location within the Primordial World. As a result, though enraged, it could only vent its fury indiscriminately across all regions.

The Heavenly Dao, unable to find Ye Tian, resembled a powerless, raging entity. Fortunately, Ye Tian remained indifferent; otherwise, it would have been the Heavenly Dao that suffered.

This situation, however, proved troublesome for the cultivators who were still in seclusion. Who would have thought that while they were peacefully cultivating, the entire Heavenly Dao would suddenly go into turmoil? The spiritual energy they relied on for cultivation became inaccessible, and even began to riot around them.

The lucky ones might suppress the riot within themselves, but the unlucky ones who recklessly absorbed the raging energy would face severe internal disruptions.

Those with stronger cultivation might only sustain internal injuries, but for those unable to withstand it, their entire bodies could explode—a truly unfortunate fate.

In response to this, Ancestor Hongjun could only repeat his previous actions to calm the Heavenly Dao. At the same time, fearing Ye Tian's displeasure, he offered an explanation.

[Ancestor Hongjun: "The Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror conflicts with the Heavenly Dao. Their mutual reaction is unavoidable, but it is only temporary. You need not worry; just wait a little while."]

Though the two entities clashed, the Heavenly Dao was stronger, while the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror was weaker. If they collided, the Heavenly Dao would undoubtedly crush the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror, leaving it no room to resist.

However, as Ye Tian's possession, the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror was now different. Even if the Heavenly Dao stood before Ye Tian, it would have to act according to his will.

Destroying his treasure was something Ye Tian would never permit.

[Ye Tian: "I understand. Let it proceed as you said."]

For Ye Tian, he had little ambition in the Primordial World. In his previous world, he had already enjoyed everything there was. Here, his only goal was to grow stronger, while other matters could be temporarily ignored.

With Ancestor Hongjun and the other powerful figures knowing his strength, no one dared to provoke him, leaving Ye Tian feeling quite content.
