Chapter 217: Chapter 195, Xuanyuan Becomes a Disciple

Moments later, Bai Jin pushed away the bowl and chopsticks, contentedly saying, "That was a satisfying meal. The food you’re making, Jingwei, keeps getting tastier. You truly have a gift for cooking. From now on, I’ll leave the matter of our meals to you." Slowly rising to his feet.

Jingwei looked up calmly and said: "The food I made!"

"I know!"

Jingwei gazed at Bai Jin with wide eyes, emphatically stating: "The food I made!"

Bai Jin walked over and gently patted Jingwei’s little head, chuckling, "It tastes great!"

Jingwei slapped Bai Jin’s hand away and pronounced each word distinctly, "You~wash~the~dishes~"

Bai Jin exclaimed: "Oh no! Something’s happened in the Underworld." He immediately turned and ran outside.

Jingwei was startled, and huffily watched Bai Jin rush out, her small silver teeth grinding in irritation. Wretched Master.

Bai Jin sped away from the Tao Palace, drawing his scepter before vanishing in a flash. In the next moment, he appeared in Netherworld Yin Mountain.

Over a million miles of Yin Mountain, ceaseless howling winds, and cries of ghostly creatures filled the air.

In the center of Yin Mountain, at the peak, a magnificent temple stood tall. Chants in Sanskrit echoed forth, releasing Infinite Buddha Light that bathed the entirety of Yin Mountain.

Bai Jin, stepping through the void, made his way toward Yin Mountain, a fruit basket suddenly appearing in hand.

Out from the temple emerged Ksitigarbha, donning a Vilu Crown and holding a Zen stick. He bowed and said, "I welcome the arrival of the Earthly Hell Inspector to the Netherworld Yin Mountain!"

Lines of monk practitioners came out, hands pressed together in respect, saying, "We welcome the arrival of the Earthly Hell Inspector to the Netherworld Yin Mountain."

Bai Jin landed on the summit, laughing heartily, "Ksitigarbha, with our relationship, there’s no need for such formality. All this ceremony feels distant."

He handed over the basket of fruits saying, "These are the Immortal Fruit Spirit Roots I’ve grown myself. I’ve just picked some to bring to you."

Having just picked them to bring them to me? Ksitigarbha felt warmth in his heart. He took the fruit basket and said with emotion, "Thank you, Inspector."

Ksitigarbha gripped the fruit basket tightly. Since arriving in the Underworld, Bai Jin was the first to come see him. His fellow daoists from the Western Sect had all lost contact, as if abandoned by the Western Sect. Bai Jin’s visit stirred deep gratitude in him.

Bai Jin stepped forward to clap Ksitigarbha on the shoulder, "Don’t call me ’Inspector,’ keep calling me ’Master’! Won’t you invite me in for a sit?"

Ksitigarbha quickly stepped aside and gestured with an inviting hand, hesitating before saying, "Master, please come in!"

The pair walked toward the temple.

As Bai Jin walked and observed, he remarked with a smile, "Since you’ve been at Yin Mountain, the number of wronged souls and fierce ghosts in the Underworld has lessened by a great deal. All thanks to your merit!"

"It is what a disciple ought to do."

"Do you find the Underworld to your liking?"

"It is a perfect place for seclusion and cultivation."

"It’s good that you think so. Even if the Western Sect has left you in Netherworld Yin Mountain, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The Underworld is an excellent place to cultivate merit. Keep up the good work. I believe it won’t be long before your senior uncle calls you back. With your merit, you are well qualified to hold the honored position of first disciple of the Western Sect."

Ksitigarbha felt a surge of emotion. First disciple of the Western Sect, could I be the one? Whether in terms of aptitude, strength, or cultivation, I seem to be not at all lacking.

...

While Bai Jin was in the Underworld deepening his bond with Ksitigarbha, on the Primordial Land, the affairs of the Human Emperor were also proceeding in an orderly fashion. Shennong left Chen and began tasting various herbs and compiling a medical book.

Eighty years later, within the Human Clan’s Youxiong tribe, a baby was born with a loud cry.

At the same time, within the Jiuli Tribe, a witch was also born.

...

Kunlun Mountain Range, Taiyi True Man descended upon a mountain peak and approached a palace, calling out, "Elder Brother, it’s time to come out of seclusion."

The palace doors thunderously swung open, and Guang Chengzi slowly stepped out from the great hall.

Taiyi True Man made a bow and said, "Greetings, elder brother!"

Guang Chengzi returned the bow and asked, "What brings you here?"

Taiyi True Man replied, "The Human Emperor has been born, and the Earth Emperor is about to take his place. Master has ordered you to go to the Youxiong Clan to instruct the Human Emperor."

Guang Chengzi appeared puzzled for a moment and said, "So soon?"

Taiyi True Man said with a smile, "Although the Human Clan are the main characters of Heaven and Earth, their talents are insufficient. Even with the abundant Spiritual Energy of the Primordial World, the average lifespan of a human is only about three hundred years, which is equivalent to a year in the ancient Primordial times. It’s very fleeting."

Guang Chengzi nodded and said, "Thank you, junior brother. Allow me to pay homage to our teacher, and then I will immediately go to the Human Clan."

The two of them flew towards the main peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Taiyi True Man, curious, asked, "Elder brother, have you decided what you will teach the Human Emperor?"

Guang Chengzi said confidently, "Of course, I shall make the Human Emperor the most dazzling among the Three Emperors."

After paying his respects to the Primordial, Guang Chengzi left the Kunlun Mountain and headed towards the Human Clan, eventually reaching the Youxiong Clan tribes, where he found the future Human Emperor Xuanyuan, who was still a small kid.

Inside a room, Little Xuanyuan was seated on a cushion, looking around curiously.

A figure slowly appeared in the principal seat, looking at Xuanyuan with a smile.

Little Xuanyuan immediately focused his gaze and respectfully bowed, saying, "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

Guang Chengzi nodded with satisfaction. Worthy of being the Human Emperor, at such a young age he already understands respect and etiquette. Smiling, he said, "Rise!"

Little Xuanyuan stood up straight and curiously looked at Guang Chengzi. Is this the Master my clan’s grandfather told me to pay respects to? He seems quite impressive! He appeared in a whoosh just now.

Guang Chengzi smilingly asked, "Xuanyuan, what do you want to learn?"

Little Xuanyuan was taken aback. What to learn? I don’t know! In an innocent voice, he asked, "Master, what can you teach me?"

Guang Chengzi laughed and said, "There’s much I can teach you. I can teach you how to bring welfare to the Human Clan, how to become the Human Emperor."

"How do we bring welfare to the Human Clan?"

Guang Chengzi replied cheerfully, "Your master can teach you how to build houses."

Little Xuanyuan nodded as if it was obvious and said, "But we already have houses!"

Guang Chengzi glanced at the house he was in and shook his head, saying, "Not these kinds of wooden houses."

"I know, you mean stone houses. We have those as well, and also mudbrick houses. They’ve been passed down by Emperor Fu Xi."

Guang Chengzi was startled. Fu Xi had already taught them to build stone houses? But it didn’t matter, he had prepared other things. The Human Emperor must be the most radiant among the Three Emperors. Smiling, he said, "I can also teach you to weave nets for fishing."

"We have that too. Weaving nets for fishing, fishing with hooks, all taught to us by Emperor Fu Xi."

"I can teach you how to make food."

"You’re talking about seasonings, right? We have those, too! Emperor Fu Xi has said, ’a pinch of salt enhances flavor, a tad of spiciness adds tenfold satisfaction.’"

"I can teach you to make thin clothing."

"Silk garments? Those are for the nobility to wear."

"I can, I can teach you to create writing."

"This too has been passed down by Emperor Fu Xi, along with measurement systems, money, and boats. All these were taught by Emperor Fu Xi."

For a moment, Guang Chengzi was at a loss for words. He had secluded himself for hundreds of years, finally coming up with these teachings for the Human Emperor. But as soon as he left seclusion, the Human Clan already had it all. How could he proceed? Bai Jin, that ignorant fool, definitely wouldn’t have thought of these things. It must have been him seeking advice from uncle master, that insufferable sycophant.

Little Xuanyuan asked in a soft voice, "Master, do you know anything else?"

Guang Chengzi snapped back to his senses and awkwardly coughed, saying, "These are just minor tricks. Your master knows many, many more things. You should formally become a disciple first."

Little Xuanyuan respectfully bowed, "Disciple pays respects to Master!" Although he wasn’t sure if what was said was true or false, since the clan’s grandfather ordered him to take a master, he had no choice but to do so.
