Chapter 35: Poor Taoist Li Changgeng
Umeyama
The forest is lush and green, and the place is shrouded in mist.
It's like a fairyland.
In a secret cave halfway up the mountain, Yuan Hong was sitting cross-legged on a smooth stone slab. In front of him was a ball of pale golden light floating, in which a heroic white ape could be vaguely seen.
This is his primordial spirit.
As time passed, Yuan Hong's breathing became longer and longer, and his light golden soul gradually shrank, eventually completely merging into his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, and two three-foot-long rays of bright golden light shot out from his eyes.
At the same time, his aura also underwent a drastic change, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its edge.
"Clap clap~"
At this moment, a burst of applause broke out, breaking the silence in the cave.
The figure of Jade Ding Zhenren slowly emerged from the air, and his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Yuan Hong.
"Your talent is indeed extraordinary. In such a short period of time, you have already mastered the Eight-Nine Profound Art. It seems that my original choice was not wrong."
When Yuan Hong heard the praise from Jade Ding Zhenren, his joy was beyond words. He bowed respectfully, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face:
"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal. I, Yuan Hong, can achieve what I have today, all thanks to your cultivation."
Jade Ding Zhenren nodded slightly, his eyes deep, as if he could see through everything: "Your achievements today are naturally due to your hard work.
I just hope that if you get into trouble in the future, don't say that I taught you this skill."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Yuan Hong's eyes, but soon his gaze became firm again.
He clenched his fists, and there was a hint of urgency in his voice: "My Lord, I have already mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills. Now can you tell me the whereabouts of those enemies?"
Jade Ding Zhenren's eyes froze slightly, as if he was hesitating about how to speak. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said in a serious tone:
"Yuan Hong, your enemy is no small matter. She is the God of Justice in Heaven and the sister of the Emperor of Heaven - Princess Yao Ji."
When Yuan Hong heard this, his body trembled and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
Although the current Heavenly Court was just restored not long ago, there are still a large number of vacancies in the immortal class and it is still far from being as powerful as the demon heavenly court in ancient times.
But for a low-level cultivator like Yuan Hong, the Heavenly Palace is still an extremely majestic and powerful behemoth.
Jade Ding Zhenren continued, "Princess Yao Ji is very advanced in Taoism and has many magical treasures to protect her. With your current strength, I'm afraid you are no match for her.
Furthermore, if you anger the Heavenly Court, the consequences will be disastrous. I advise you to give up the idea of revenge."
Yuan Hong was silent.
There was a trace of struggle and unwillingness in his eyes.
But soon, these emotions were replaced by a more resolute will.
How could Yuan Hong be such a timid and cowardly person?
"Goddess, I know you mean well, but I must avenge this. Even the Heavenly Court cannot stop me."
Although Yuan Hong's voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable determination.
Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Yuan Hong and was not at all surprised by his choice.
He sighed softly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Yuan Hong, since you and I are destined to be together, I will naturally not watch you die.
If you want revenge, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself. Sometimes, using wisdom can achieve your goal better than using force."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong frowned, feeling full of doubts.
He looked at Jade Ding Zhenren in confusion, expecting the latter to explain further. Jade Ding Zhenren smiled slightly, and his expression became mysterious: "Although Princess Yao Ji is a judicial god, she is powerful and powerful, but she is not without weaknesses.
You should know that among the five immortals in the world, namely heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, although the immortals hold the authority of heaven and earth and possess divine powers bestowed by the way of heaven, they are also bound and supervised by the rules of heaven.
Princess Yao Ji is the God of Justice, but she broke the law knowingly, disregarded the rules of heaven, secretly married a mortal and gave birth to a child..."
When Yuan Hong heard this, he was immediately shocked. He had never thought that his great enemy would actually violate the taboo of the Heavenly Court.
"Does the Immortal want me to go to the Heavenly Palace and expose her for violating the Heavenly Law?"
Yuan Hong's eyes sparkled, but then he seemed a little hesitant: "But I am just a small casual cultivator, I am afraid that the Heavenly Court may not believe me.
Besides, the Emperor of Heaven is her brother, if he protects her..."
Jade Ding Zhenren waved his hand, seemingly not taking Yuan Hong's worries to heart: "Don't worry, the Heavenly Court is not a monolithic entity.
As long as you expose this matter, someone will naturally help you."
When Yuan Hong heard what Master Yu Ding said, the hesitation on his face finally disappeared, replaced by a firm look: "In that case, I will do as the Immortal says."
Jade Ding Zhenren shook his head, looked at Yuan Hong and said seriously: "Remember, you noticed it yourself, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
Yuan Hong nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Immortal, everything is caused by me, no matter success or failure, it will never implicate you.
I, Yuan Hongyuan, swear an oath that I will never tell anyone what happened today, or else I will be torn to pieces and my body and soul will be destroyed!"
Jade Ding Zhenren waited for him to finish his oath before shaking his head and sighing, "I am not afraid of being implicated, but my identity is not convenient..."
"Yes, I understand all of this!"
Yuan Hong nodded vigorously, with only gratitude in his heart.
"I'm glad you understand." Jade Ding Zhenren nodded, his figure gradually became illusory, and finally disappeared in the cave.
Yuan Hong also took a deep breath and created a dark cloud that went straight up into the sky.
……
Several hours later, Yuan Hong stood outside the Nantian Gate, looking up at the gate tower built of clouds and the walls made of stars, and felt an indescribable shock in his heart.
The grandeur and magnificence of heaven far exceeded his imagination.
Clouds swirled, colorful lights flowed;
The Milky Way hangs upside down, and the music of heaven is ethereal.
Even though he was about to enter the Golden Immortal realm, he couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw such a magnificent scene for the first time.
His pace slowed down involuntarily, and with every step he took, the tension in his heart increased.
After all, what he is about to face is the Heavenly Court, which controls all living beings in the three realms and holds the authority over heaven and earth. After entering the South Heaven Gate, his fate may no longer be in his own control.
Just as he was hesitating, a clear voice rang in his ears: "Daoyou, do you want to enter my heaven?"
Yuan Hong turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a white robe and holding a whisk, smiling at him.
"You seem to be a little confused, if it is convenient, you can tell me, maybe I can give you some pointers."
At this point, the middle-aged man smiled gently: "I almost forgot to introduce myself...
I am Li Changgeng, the Taoist Priest of the West, Taibai Jinde Zhenjun. "
My Lord, I'm panicking!
Although the number of collections has increased a lot after testing the waters, I still can’t see any comments or votes from the guys after the daily updates... It feels like I’m playing alone!
Fortunately, I asked the editor today and he said that as of Tuesday, there were already more than 900 paid readers, so I felt a little relieved.
Can anyone who sees this please say something, I'm so panicked!!!
