Chapter 184: Chapter 170, The Diving Competition Ends

Primordial clenched his veins popping on his forehead, and shouted, "Tongtian, enough is enough!"

Tongtian looked at Primordial with a chuckle, "Second brother, I’m simply reviewing the deficiencies in my teachings to my disciples so that I can make improvements! But, after this comparison, it seems my teachings are somewhat superior! You are the elder brother and should not always be looking to trouble me at every turn. You too must redouble your efforts, or else you’ll be left far behind by me."

Primordial’s eyebrows twitched with anger. After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian had become ever more troublesome!

...

After a fierce competition, Wuyun Immortal finally claimed the crown of the Primordial World Diving Champion.

An auspicious cloud floated across the sky, and condensed into a platform amid lively music.

The Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily, "Let’s invite Jie Sect’s Wuyun Immortal to the stage to receive the award."

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wuyun Immortal flew to the platform, respectfully bowed in all four directions, his expression slightly uneasy.

Boom~ A massive pillar of light enveloped Wuyun Immortal, dimming even the mid-sky sun. At that moment, Wuyun Immortal became the center of the Three Realms, the focus of Immortal Gods’ attention. Feeling the pressure, Wuyun Immortal grew even more nervous.

The Heavenly Emperor flew before Wuyun Immortal.

Wuyun Immortal hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Uncle Master!"

The Heavenly Emperor chuckled, "You’re the champion, stand up quickly."

"Yes!" Wuyun Immortal straightened up.

The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand and two fairies flew over, each holding a tray covered with red silk.

The Heavenly Emperor uncovered the first tray, revealing a glittering Gold Token suspended above, radiating auspicious light.

The Heavenly Emperor paused for a second, surprise showing in his eyes—it was crafted from Merit! How much Merit would this have consumed! My brother is indeed extravagant.

On the front of the Merit Gold Medal was a grand palace with the three characters of "Zixiao Palace" on its signboard, below which read "First Primordial World Sports Meet."

On the back, the words "Diving Champion" surrounded by flowers symbolized glory.

The cash-strapped Heavenly Emperor looked at the Merit Gold Medal with envy, thinking if only he’d known the reward was Merit, he would have signed up to compete too!

The Heavenly Emperor picked up the Merit Gold Medal and hung it around Wuyun Immortal’s neck, laughing heartily, "Congratulations, nephew, on becoming the first diving champion of the Primordial Three Realms. This is your honor."

An excited Wuyun Immortal said, "Thank you, Uncle Master!" and bowed deeply once more.

The Heavenly Emperor uncovered another red silk on a different tray to reveal a massive trophy emerging, the trophy also being gaudily all-gold in color, with inner ripples like the surface of water. Through the ripples, one could see a static scene of a crowd on the diving platform, eager to jump.

Once again feeling envious, the Heavenly Emperor thought, more Merit! His brother was indeed generous. He must bond well with his brother in the future. He picked up the Merit Trophy and handed it to Wuyun Immortal, "Nephew, this too is yours. Lift the trophy high to welcome your honor."

Wuyun Immortal grabbed the trophy and held it aloft, looking around at everyone.

The cheers roared like thunder.

"Aoooo~"

"Wuuu~"

"Wuyun Immortal!"

"Champion!"

"Law Enforcement Team."

"Champion~"

...

Amid the cheers, the Heavenly Emperor announced loudly, "Now, I declare the diving events of the First Primordial World Sports Meet officially concluded. Rest for a moment; the upcoming competitions will be even more exciting."

Everyone stood up, calling out to one another, and burst into laughter as they dispersed in all directions.

In an inconspicuous corner, Bai Jin was enshrouded in a black robe, silently stood up, walked outside, blended into the crowd and swiftly left without drawing attention.

...

Bai Jin had just returned to the Bird’s Nest residence when a figure descended from the sky with a crisp voice calling out, "Senior Brother!"

Bai Jin stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the sky.

Shi Ji descended from above, surprised, she said, "Senior Brother, what’s with this get-up?"

Bai Jin pulled down his hat and said, "This is a new Daoist robe I’ve been working on, how does it look? Cool, huh?"

Shi Ji replied with a strange expression, "Senior Brother, this Daoist robe is really... quite unique."

Bai Jin laughed heartily and proudly said, "I’ve spent a long time researching and making this."

Shi Ji quickly changed the subject from the clothes and asked, "Senior Brother, where did you just go? I looked everywhere and couldn’t find you."

Bai Jin was speechless. How could I dare to go out? Didn’t you see me giving up the limelight to others? With Nuwa and Peace Heart Lady contending head-to-head, who am I to be tending to? The slightest misstep could lead to total annihilation.

Bai Jin remarked with emotion, "Junior Sister, as you know, your brother is always low-profile and dislikes being the center of attention. So, I just stayed on the side, an anonymous spectator, making up for any oversights and seeing if there are any inadequacies in our sports meet."

Shi Ji said with admiration, "Senior Brother, you are so conscientious. You’re the example we all should follow."

"Sigh~ These are the tasks we ought to undertake. Master entrusted me with this task, and naturally, I must spare no effort to do my best.

By the way, Junior Sister, did you need me for something?"

Shi Ji hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, you didn’t tell me before that the gold tokens and trophies were refined from merit! It’s really such a waste; this competition is going to cost a lot of merit!"

Bai Jin chuckled and said, "If not merit, what else should we use? Bones?

Junior Sister, you must realize that our Jie Sect lacks nothing else but has an abundance of merit. If I wished, I could use merit to build a palace; what is this little amount in comparison? Besides, how to motivate them to give their all without some cost?"

Shi Ji responded with slight distress, "But, that’s a lot of merit, those merit gold medals cost tens of thousands of gold coins!"

Bai Jin was at a loss for words; ever since making this Junior Sister the finance secretary, why do I suddenly feel like she’s become so much more stingy?

Suddenly, Bai Jin’s expression changed, and he hastily said, "Junior Sister, I have urgent matters to attend to, I must be going." His figure flashed and disappeared.

"Senior..." Shi Ji had only called out once before Bai Jin vanished, feeling a pang of emotion. Senior Brother is really working too hard, but then she thought oddly, wasn’t everything about the sports meet already set up? Everything should just proceed as planned.

Could it be that Master has given Senior Brother some important task to deal with? Yes, that must be it.

...

Elsewhere, Wuyun Immortal, adorned with a medal, surrounded by Zhao Gongming, Kong Xuan, and others, headed towards the Law Enforcement Team.

By his side, Feathered Immortal was holding a trophy, looking at it back and forth.

Feathered Immortal excitedly said, "The first champion is from our Jie Sect, Senior Brother, you are incredible!"

Wuyun Immortal laughed heartily, "In fact, it’s mostly because the other Fellow Daoists were modest."

"I want to place this trophy in the center of our Law Enforcement Temple."

Wuyun Immortal said generously, "You can!"

...

While they were chatting and laughing, a strong aura fluctuation approached from afar, and their expressions changed instantaneously; they all looked up abruptly, wondering who would dare cause trouble at this juncture?

Whoosh~ In an instant, their Daoist robes transformed into law enforcement attire, with capes billowing, they soared into the sky.

...

Over a stretch of the sea, Western Sect Disciples were facing off against a group of handsome men and beautiful women, with some onlookers all around, creating a highly tense atmosphere.

Heading the Western Sect was Pharmacist leading a group of bald disciples.

Most of the group confronting them were dressed in fiery red immortal clothes, with a gorgeous woman at the forefront in a long red dress, bearing a flame divine pattern on her forehead.
