Chapter 782: Chapter 782

Taishang Saint put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and sighed, "It seems the Three Realms are in for troubles again."

"Master, it can’t be that bad! From what I know of Nuwa, she wouldn’t actively meddle with the affairs of the Three Realms. She’s mostly just lazy." Latest content publıshed on novel⚑fire.net

"That means the Three Realms must have something that requires her attention; otherwise, she wouldn’t bother to come out of seclusion.

Bai Jin, after you return, pay close attention to the movements within the Three Realms, especially anything related to Nuwa or her people."

"I understand, Master."

A thought suddenly flashed through Bai Jin’s mind: Could it be something to do with Yang Chan? Had she encountered Liu Yanchang?

Once that suspicion arose in his heart, Bai Jin couldn’t sit still any longer and hastily said, "Master, I will go back and investigate immediately."

"Mm~ Go then! Remember to think things through when you encounter problems, and don’t act impulsively."

"Yes, Master, I understand."

Bai Jin transformed into a beam of Divine Light and soared into the sky, leaving the Great Red Heaven.

Meanwhile, in the Chaos, Saint Zhunti and Duo Bao Tathagata were walking slowly.

Saint Zhunti toyed with a tea leaf brocade box in his hand, and casually tossed it to Duo Bao Tathagata, saying, "Try it out!"

Duo Bao Tathagata caught the brocade box and responded, "Sect Hierarch, this was a gift to you from Taishang Saint."

"Now I’m giving it to you."

"But isn’t that inappropriate?"

Zhunti Sect Master chuckled and replied, "I’m not even fond of tea."

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch!" Duo Bao Tathagata put away the brocade box.

"Today must have felt hard to bear, hasn’t it?"

Duo Bao Tathagata pondered for a moment and silently nodded. It was not just hard to bear; it was utterly frustrating. I had clearly gone to lodge a complaint, yet in the end, I became the accused and had to accept punishment, while Bai Jin faced no consequences at all. The injustice of the Heavenly Dao!

"Do you know the biggest difference between you and Bai Jin?"

"I do not know, Master."

Saint Zhunti said with a smile, "You don’t have his shamelessness. In fact, I quite admire this about Bai Jin. Among the Primordial Great Powers, there are few like him who can let go of their pride."

Duo Bao Tathagata silently nodded. To achieve the status of Quasi-Saint, a cultivator steps onto the Tao and carries an ambition to excel; they may respect the saints but would never flatter or ingratiate themselves with them.

Yet Bai Jin was different; he could flatter the saints, shamelessly so; he was practically a master bootlicker, cultivating the very Tao of bootlicking.

Duo Bao Tathagata shook his head and said, "Disciple cannot do that."

"Hmm~ you have your own path, and there’s no need to emulate him. After you return, prepare to spread the teachings.

As for Bai Jin, I will make sure he cannot interfere with the Westward matters."

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch."

"Sect Hierarch, what exactly are the Blood Spirit Fish that Nuwa wants and the Black Mysterious Fruit that Taishang Saint wants? I have never heard of them."

"The lowest depths of the Primordial World has the Blood Sea, the filthiest of all seas, where the Sea Eye is potent enough to corrupt a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Yet in such a filthy Sea Eye lives the purest Spiritual Beast, the Blood Spirit Fish, feeding on the corrupt forces of the Blood Sea, but in turn, bestowing sacred power of the Blood Sea. It is regarded as forbidden delicacy by the Ming He Sect Master, who rarely lets it out, greatly esteemed indeed.

To the north of the North Sea lies the Northern Abyss, one of the Primordial World’s peculiar seas. Within this sea grows an Innate Spirit Root known as the Black Xuan Water Tree, which is a companion Spirit Root of the Kunpeng Demon Master.

Though it bears the name of a tree, its form is that of water, and upon it, the fruit known as Black Mysterious Fruit grows. It bears fruit only once every Calamity cycle, with each cycle producing thirty fruits."

One Calamity cycle for just thirty fruits? More precious than the Flat Peach and the Ginsengfruit, these fruits would surely be difficult to obtain.

The Buddha, feeling indignant, said, "It was Bai Jin who moved against our Buddhism, and now it’s my disciple who must be punished. I truly cannot accept this."

Zhunti Sect Master said with a smile, "It is normal for the Eastern Saint to help the Eastern Heavenly Emperor. Remember this lesson and solve your own problems in the future. Even if you beat Bai Jin half to death, they would have nothing to say."

"Yes, I understand, Disciple. May I ask the Sect Master, how should Disciple obtain the Blood Spirit Fish and the Black Mysterious Fruit? Please enlighten me."

"That will depend on your own methods."

The two figures gradually disappeared into the Chaos.

After Bai Jin returned to the Heavenly Court, he immediately descended to the Lower Realm without a moment’s pause.

At the foot of Hua Mountain, the heavy snow was falling, few people were seen on the streets, and the pedestrians were all walking quickly with their umbrellas.

A river ran through the city, flowing outward, where the snowflakes fell upon the river and instantly melted away, ducks swam on the surface, creating ripples.

A woman draped in a white cloak stood on the stone bridge over the river, quietly watching the distance, with two children playing and running in the snow.

"Big Flower, Little Flower, come back quickly, or you might get sick," a woman called from the doorway, waving her hands.

The two children ran back hand in hand, leaving behind a trail of laughter and joy.

Yang Chan couldn’t help but reveal a smile. How nice it is for a family to be together in happiness!

Ripples appeared in the surrounding space, and Bai Jin walked out from within, smiling and saying, "Junior Sister, what are you looking at?"

Yang Chan came back to her senses and quickly bowed in a salute, saying softly, "I pay my respects to Senior Brother!"

"Junior Sister, there’s no need for such formality."

Bai Jin stood beside Yang Chan, gazing forward as well.

Yang Chan said dreamily, "When I was young, what I loved most was the snow. My mother would take me to build snowmen and ice sculptures. My brothers would hold my hands and let me slide on the ice and snow. But those days are gone and can never return."

Bai Jin replied regretfully, "I envy you for still having a mother. I didn’t even have parents. Poor, poor me, it truly is pitiful!"

"Senior Brother is nurtured by Heaven and Earth, with Heaven and Earth as parents. How could you be pitiful?"

"Haha~" Bai Jin laughed twice, saying, "There are so many children of Heaven and Earth, where do I even rank among them?"

"You didn’t come to the Lower Realm just to enjoy the snow scene with me, did you, Senior Brother?"

"I was merely passing by. There’s a spirit monster in love with a mortal at Mount Tai and they have sired a child, defying the Heavenly Rules. I happened to be free and went to deal with it, just passing by here to see you on my way."

Yang Chan’s mind stirred, asking, "May I know how the Emperor dealt with it?"

"Of course, following the Heavenly Rules. The spirit monster and its child could only one live, and they were left to make their own choice."

"What was their choice?"

"The spirit monster annihilated itself and died. Sigh~ That child is also pitiable," Bai Jin shook his head and sighed.

Yang Chan fell silent, then slowly said, "Senior Brother, don’t you think such Heavenly Rules are too cruel?"

"Heavenly Rules are the laws of Heaven and Earth. Although they may seem cruel to them, they are most beneficial to Heaven and Earth.

The resources of Heaven and Earth are limited, and the Immortal Gods should also be limited. If half-demons, demi-immortals, and demigods proliferated, Heaven and Earth would descend into chaos and eventually fall back into Chaos. You should understand this, right?"

"Senior Brother is absolutely right."

"Well, I should return to the Heavenly Court. Junior Sister, if you’re bored, come back to the Heavenly Court with me! Jingwei Longji and the others miss you quite a bit."

Yang Chan smiled slightly, "Senior Brother, I still have some matters to handle. I should be back soon!"

"Alright, then I’ll be going first. You’ve grown up, you know what you can and cannot do. Don’t make things difficult for your uncle and your elder brother," Bai Jin looked at Yang Chan intently.

"I understand, thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother," Yang Chan bowed respectfully.

Bai Jin nodded, his figure fading away until it disappeared.
