Chapter 216: Chapter 194, Taking Jingwei as a Disciple_2

At the main seat, Taishang spoke, "Light the furnace!"

Buzz~ The lid of the furnace suddenly flew off, and rolling Samadhi True Fire surged out, a Divine Sword slowly rising from within the Samadhi True Fire.

"Zhenwu, obtain the sword!"

"Yes!" Zhenwu leapt up from his cushion, seized the Divine Sword, which trembled violently, nearly slipping from his grasp.

Zhenwu’s face changed, and he quickly gripped the sword with both hands, pouring the mighty mana of a Taiyi Golden Immortal into the sword. Dense array patterns appeared on the Divine Sword, then concealed themselves, and the Divine Sword quieted down.

Taishang said with a smile, "This sword is now bestowed upon you, name it!"

Holding the sword before him, Zhenwu stroked the blade fondly and said, "This sword shall be named the Zhenwu Sword!"

The Divine Sword buzzed, and two simple and ancient characters appeared on the blade: Zhenwu!

Zhenwu, holding the Divine Sword, glided down and knelt on the cushion, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing the sword!"

"With this sword, go to the Primordial Northern Domain and slay all demons tainted with the karma of the Human Clan, and then you may proceed to the Heavenly Court."

Zhenwu looked up, surprised and delighted, and called out, "Master!"

Taishang said gently, "Haven’t you always wanted to venture out? Now the time has come."

"Yes! Your disciple will not disgrace your command." Zhenwu bowed respectfully three times, stood up, and walked out with an air of high spirits.

Moments later, a sharp light streaked across the sky above Shouyang Mountain, heading north, carrying with it a towering killing intent.

...

Within Wa Emperor Heaven, dark clouds roiled, lightning flashed, and thunder roared; a single thought from a Saint could change the color of Heaven and Earth, leaving the sun and the moon without light.

Lingzhu Zi shrank his neck, "Nuwa is angry again; she seems to be getting angry more frequently these days, and Wa Emperor Heaven has become increasingly dangerous."

On Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin was lounging in his recliner in front of the Bird’s Nest, basking in the sun. Casting a glance, he saw three Bai He birds flying in from across the sea, each carrying a large fish in their beaks.

The three Bai He birds landed on the island, looking around.

One Bai He dug a hole under the sun and buried a fish in it.

Another Bai He found a spot under a cloud, dug a hole, and buried a fish in it.

The third Bai He went next to a large tree, dug a hole, and buried a fish in it.

The three Bai He chirped for a while, then flew away, satisfied.

Bai Jin’s squinting eyes opened and he called out, "Jingwei, come dig up the fish to eat."

Jingwei walked over, expressionless, and said, "Master, those fish were hard-earned by the three Bai He birds."

Bai Jin lazily replied, "With the weather so scorching hot, if we don’t take them, the fish will spoil, and wasting food like that is reprehensible. Go on, I’ll prepare a full-fish feast for you tonight."

"Why don’t you go?"

"The disciple serves where the Master tasks! Remember to wash and clean them well."

Jingwei huffed and headed towards the spots where the fish were buried, thinking he had never seen such a lazy Master.

Jingwei picked up the three large fish, and just as she was about to head back to the Bird’s Nest,

Boom~ A thunderbolt fell from the sky, striking directly on Bai Jin. The Master disappeared in an instant.

Jingwei was stunned; was this retribution? She quickly dropped the fish, thinking it had nothing to do with her, it was all the Master’s order!

...

Beneath the thunderbolt, Bai Jin, covered in ash and dirt, came to Nuwa Palace, the hall filled with a heavy, oppressive aura.

Bai Jin quickly sobered up and knelt on the cushion, bowing respectfully, "Your disciple pays respects to Nuwa, may you be auspicious!"

On the Cloud Bed, Nuwa spoke coldly, "Not auspicious at all; I’m very angry right now."

Bai Jin raised his head, filled with righteous indignation, "Who would dare to anger you, Nuwa? Tell me who she is, and I shall vent your anger for you. Offending Nuwa is offending me, Bai Jin, and it will not end until death."

"The Western Two Saints."

Bai Jin immediately froze.

Nuwa looked at Bai Jin and said, "Didn’t you say you wanted to avenge me?"

Bai Jin sheepishly said, "Western Uncle-Masters, I can’t beat them either! How about I make a voodoo doll for Master, and you can use a needle to vent your anger on it."

Nuwa burst into laughter, then softened her tone and asked, "What’s going on with the Human Clan and the Dragon Clan?"

Bai Jin cautiously replied, "The Demon Clan is pulling the strings from behind!"

"And then?"

"Then nothing more can be traced. The Human Clan, the Dragon Clan, and the Demon Clan all suffered losses, but the Western Sect, which hasn’t shown themselves, gained the most."

"So what’s your conclusion?"

"Disciple is simple and doesn’t know any schemes, let alone the entanglements of cause and effect.

My Master once said a phrase, to see the essence through the phenomena, no matter how complex the situation is, the one who benefits the most is the most suspicious."

Nuwa’s gaze turned frosty as she said, "So it was the Western Sect that used the Demon Clan to scheme against the Human Clan and the Dragon Clan."

Bai Jin hurriedly said, "Niangniang, this is just a suspicion, I don’t have a shred of evidence."

"When a Saint takes action, naturally there would be no trace. In this whole affair, the Demon Clan, Human Clan, and Dragon Clan all suffered severe losses, the only winner is the Western Sect.

Lu Ya has joined the Western Sect and solidified the teachings of the Great Sun; some of the Dragon Clan also joined the Western Sect, forming their Eight Heavenly Dragons. If they’re not the manipulators behind the scenes, then who else could it be?"

"Niangniang, we still have no evidence, the Western Sect has never made an appearance in this matter."

"Do I need evidence?!" Nuwa said somberly.

"They naturally won’t let me find any traces, but I don’t need any evidence, knowing that they did it is enough."

"Niangniang is majestic and powerful! Should we go and attack the Western Sect now?"

Nuwa paused and said irritably, "To attack the Saints Great Sect without any reason, that breaks the rules."

"Saints have to follow rules too?"

"Of course, the Saints also have their Laws of the game, otherwise wouldn’t everything be chaos? If the Saints are disorderly, Heaven and Earth would also become disorderly, and all things would revert to Chaos."

Bai Jin was confused for a while, what does Niangniang mean? Leading me to name the hidden manipulator, the Western Sect, and then it’s just to pour out her grievances to me?

Then Bai Jin showed off his culinary skills and presented Nuwa with a sumptuous lunch before taking his leave.

Before leaving, Nuwa offhandedly said, "Ksitigarbha is working hard in the Underworld, as his teacher you should visit him more often."

"Yes!" Bai Jin respectfully replied, then took his leave.

Qingluan saw Bai Jin out.

Bai Jin asked puzzledly, "What does Niangniang mean?"

Qingluan said slowly, "The Western Sect’s scheme against Demons, Humans, and Dragons has involved Niangniang as well, especially when they took Lu Ya to their sect, affecting the remaining Qi Fortune of the Demon Clan.

So Niangniang is very angry, but with no evidence at hand, she cannot directly act against the Western Sect."

Bai Jin nodded, Niangniang had already mentioned all this.

After Qingluan escorted Bai Jin out of Wa Emperor Heaven, she said with a smile, "Niangniang feels that Ksitigarbha has a connection to the Eastern lands, does that make it clear now?"

Bai Jin suddenly realized and said, "With that explanation, the disciple understands!" His figure instantly disappeared into the Chaos.

Above the Three Light Immortal Path, a ripple suddenly appeared, and Bai Jin’s figure emerged from the ripple, floating down and heading towards the Bird’s Nest.

After entering the Bird’s Nest, he sniffed and smiled, turning towards the dining room.

Inside the dining room, there were several dishes of delicious food, all still steaming.

Bai Jin smiled, Jingwei is really too filial, she specially made food to wait for my return.

Bai Jin sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted the food, which was surprisingly good.

A petite figure walked in with a large plate, paused in surprise, and said, "Master, you’re back?"

Bai Jin said cheerfully, "Surprised?"

Jingwei carried the plate in, thumped it down on the table, jumped onto the chair and asked, "Where have you been?"

"Niangniang called for your Master to discuss some major affairs of the Three Realms, it’s not something you’d understand."

"Hehe~"
