Master Taiyi and the others, all seasoned veterans, were perceptive and understood Nezha's intentions. They were not afraid of Nezha gaining anything inside. On the contrary, they saw it as being fated with Nezha, since the second Jade Talisman had formed in Nezha's hand, which in their view was the will of Yuan Shi Venerable.

"Junior Brother, are you really going to go?"

"Will you agree to my condition, Senior Brothers?"

True Master Tai asked again, "What request do you have, Junior Brother?"

Nezha responded directly, "I need to borrow the Pangu Banner."

The senior brothers fell silent upon hearing Nezha's words. The Pangu Banner was a treasure suppressing Qi Fortune of the Chan Sect and belonged to Yuan Shi Venerable. It was not within their power to lend it. Comparing a Golden Immortal Realm Nanji Immortal to the Pangu Banner, it was clear which was more important.

But now, they had to consider another factor: if they did not use the Pangu Banner to rescue their brother this time, what if next time it was their turn? Should they just give up then?

Although the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect appeared as brothers, the situation within the small group was severe. If they didn't rescue now, any future disasters would truly spell their downfall. They should not expect their brothers to save them but rather face it themselves.

So, they must rescue.

As the only one still conscious among the Twelve Golden Immortals, Master Taiyi decisively said, "Alright, but you must retrieve it yourself, Junior Brother. If you can carry the Pangu Banner away, it will naturally be lent to you for protection and rescue. If you cannot, we are powerless, and you may choose whether to rescue or not."

Master Taiyi was quite considerate to Nezha. If you can take the treasure, it is lent to you; if not, we won't blame you if you don't rescue anyone.

Nezha nodded in agreement, stood up, and followed Taiyi and others into the depths of Yuxu Palace, stopping outside a grand hall.

Master Taiyi said, "Junior Brother, our teacher placed the Pangu Banner here before leaving, you may proceed."

Nezha entered the hall without further words. The hall was devoid of any arrays, and the Pangu Banner calmly floated in the center of the hall. Nezha understood this arrangement; if anyone could break in here to seize the Pangu Banner, there was no need for guard – let Yuan Shi Venerable avenge them upon returning.

Staring at the Pangu Banner before him, the constricted banner obviously was in a self-restraining state, yet Nezha could still sense its domineering aura as the first treasure of attack and plunder in the Primordial world.

He was genuinely excited now, after dealing with counterfeit items for so many years, he finally touched the real thing. As he raised his hand to touch the Pangu Banner, he could not advance past three inches from it.

The Pangu Banner did not retaliate, but Nezha scratched his head. When he controlled the Chaos Bell before, he faced no rejection.

Magical treasures possess spirit; the spirituality of a Pangu Banner parallel to Chaos Origin treasures is not inferior to a Lesser Immortal, and its relationship with its master is akin to collaboration rather than servitude. Nezha countered by summoning the Chaos Bell, saying, "Ah Bell, help me persuade the Pangu Banner. We might be rescuing Yuan Shi Master's most cherished disciple, Nanji Immortal!"

The Chaos Bell swayed, evidently comprehending its master's intent, flying beside the Pangu Banner. Between the two treasures, radiant glows exchanged, evidently 'chatting'.

Nezha couldn't understand what they discussed, but his Telepathy was not in vain; he secretly amplified his telepathic skills to eavesdrop on the treasures' heart voice, curious about the Heavenly Creation Treasures' topics.

"Third Sister, it's great to see you restored to your primordial form. I previously told you Taiyi was unreliable."

This translated to a middle-aged male voice, most likely the Pangu Banner.

"Oh, Second Brother, although Taiyi didn't attain Dao, I had exciting experiences with him."

This translated to an exceptionally youthful female voice, obviously the Chaos Bell post-recasting.

The Pangu Banner was a little upset hearing the Chaos Bell speak for Taiyi, saying, "He nearly caused you to unravel, yet you speak for him!"

"Don't be upset, Second Brother; it's all past now. The one below is my new little master. Would you care to join us outside for a bit?"

"Humph, you keep choosing this kind of good-looking but ineffective master. Why not stay with me in Yuxu Palace?"

Nezha: ...

Slander, I accuse you of slander! Who are you calling good-looking but ineffective? Moreover, indeed it seems like a treasure of Yuan Shi Venerable; the paternal aura is unmistakable.

The Chaos Bell evidently favored Nezha as the new master, instantly retorting, "No, staying here staring at these old men daily is dull. Second Brother, do come with us, at least to rescue Yuan Shi Venerable's most favored disciple?"

Mentioning Nanji Immortal, the Pangu Banner was infuriated.

"What favored disciple of Yuan Shi Venerable; Guang Chengzi is Yuan Shi Venerable's favorite! Moreover, I struck the demon god that endangered Nanji previously, so why go again now?"

The Chaos Bell continued persuading, but the Pangu Banner remained unmoved, stubborn as the treasure was. Seeing the persuasion failed, the Chaos Bell returned to Nezha's side, the echo of its chime softly admitting its helplessness.

After quite some time, Nezha scratched his head again. The treasures were right in front but how best to convince, not manipulate, the Pangu Banner to join him?

He noted the critical word 'demon god', pondered for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up with an idea.

"Senior, Chaos Demon Lord Shen Gongbao, who roamed Chaos recently, returned to the Primordial world with news that Yuan Shi Master was besieged by three Chaos Demon Gods and drained dry. For this, the Saints have all left the Primordial world. Could this have something to do with it?"

After speaking, Nezha awaited the Pangu Banner's reaction without further speech. At this time, although the Pangu Banner showed no reaction outwardly, it was contacting the Big Figure of the Diagram, the Tai Chi Diagram. When Saint Taiqing departed, he left this item in the Primordial world for Xuan Du to safeguard and suppress the Human Sect's Qi Fortune.

At their level, the magical treasures had their unique communication means, especially considering their masters were siblings. The Pangu Banner quickly verified with the Tai Chi Diagram that it was indeed true, and the departure of Saints Taiqing and Shangqing was indeed for Yuanshi Tianzun's rescue.

This time, the Pangu Banner had no choice but to believe it. Treasure-to-treasure, unaware of Saintly calculations, it now truly trusted Nezha's words, imagining his proud master – requesting assistance must signify dire straits. Following this lad might not aid him, but staying here wouldn't help either.

With these options compared, there really was no doubt – he would go!

The Pangu Banner, unfurling without wind, swept the Yuxu Palace in myriad rays, amber-yellow glows swirling and automatically flew to Nezha. Nezha brazenly grasped it; now with one hand on the Pangu Banner and the other on the Chaos Bell, wasn't he invincible?

Sun Wukong borrowing Divine Treasures from East Sea was rendered insignificant compared to Nezha borrowing the Pangu Banner from Yuxu Palace.

The onlookers outside the hall, seeing the radiance inside, displayed disbelief. Friends, that's the Pangu Banner, our Chan Sect's treasure suppressing Qi Fortune, Yuan Shi Saint's prized possession. You are really capable of taking it?

What are we truly, Yuan Shi Venerable's direct disciples who could not even touch it?

Child Bai He, among them, displayed the richest expression. He was not so surprised Nezha could gain the Pangu Banner's approval; borrowing it confirmed a suspicion he held. Could Junior Master Nezha truly be the illegitimate child Old Master fathered elsewhere?

He felt like he'd discovered some grand secret!

Do not believe or spread rumors; should Nezha know of Child Bai He's thoughts, he would sternly criticize: how would that sound if Old Li caught wind?
