Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends

Chapter 76: Chapter 76, Kunpeng, Fu Xi

Taishang had just entered Nuwa Palace when the sky rippled with a burst of multi-colored ripples, and amidst the deep dragon chants, nine majestic Divine Dragons broke through the colorful ripples, pulling a divine and noble Golden Chariot that transcended realms, as auspicious clouds spread throughout the entire Wa Emperor Heaven.

"Senior Brother, please come inside for a chat~" The voice of Nuwa Niangniang rang out.

Primordial disembarked the Golden Chariot, treading on a light pathway towards the Nuwa Palace.

Ran Deng said, "Bai He, take the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot down and find a place to stop it. Watch over the Golden Chariot carefully."

Bai He Child nodded and responded, "Yes!"

The immortals of the Chan Sect descended onto the garden plaza below and took their places in the Eastern seats.

Subsequently, Tongtian rode the Kui Niu, accompanied by dozens of disciples. Judging solely by their numbers and momentum, they completely outshone the Human Sect, Chan Sect, and Western Sect; indeed, the more people there are, the more domineering the presence.

Tongtian also entered Nuwa Palace, and the Jie Sect Disciples settled in the plaza below, sitting on the seats spread throughout. Each of the four major sects occupied their own section of heaven and earth, clearly demarcated, and everything fell into a momentary silence.

...

Inside Nuwa Palace, the six saints of Primordial World gathered, each summoning up cloud beds and sitting cross-legged upon them.

Laozi spoke kindly, "Junior Sister Nuwa, what is the purpose of calling us here?"

Nuwa lightly laughed and said, "After becoming saints, it’s only the few of us in the entire Primordial World who are able to communicate. It has been a long time since we met, and I dearly miss you all, so I particularly invited my Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers here to gather."

Jie Yin shook his head, sighing, "Senior Sister, you have changed, you’ve learned to tell fibs."

Nuwa, still smiling, said, "Senior Brothers, Junior Brothers, would you be willing to join your little sister in discussing the Tao?"

Taishang nodded and said, "Alright! Since Junior Sister has invited us, let us discuss the Tao today."

Primordial nodded, "Certainly."

Zhunti chuckled, "To meet friends through the Tao is indeed fortunate!"

Immediately, the entire Nuwa Palace was filled with the sound of the Great Tao, a mixture of various Daos intertwining and colliding.

...

On the plaza, Bai Jin sat in the front row of the Jie Sect, with Wudang Saint Mother to the left and Golden Spirit Saint Mother to the right, and behind him were Shi Ji and Gu Liang.

Gu Liang, sitting behind Bai Jin, whispered, "Senior Brother, what’s the situation now?"

Bai Jin remained motionless, whispering back, "They’re probably competing in patience!"

Gu Liang asked in confusion, "Competing in patience?"

Bai Jin replied seriously, "One, two, three, wooden man, unable to speak or move. Whoever moves first loses."

Gu Liang looked at Bai Jin speechlessly, thinking, Senior Brother, I feel you are deceiving me! My cultivation may not be high, but I am not foolish.

Two rows of maids flew from afar in neat formation, each bearing a tray of exquisite delicacies, placing them before everyone and then respectfully retreating.

A colorful cloud descended, and Fairy Cai Feng landed on the main seat, laughing as she said, "All the Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers here are disciples of saints and will also be the great powers leading Primordial World in the future. Today’s banquet is also to allow Fellow Daoists to meet and get to know one another, to discuss the Tao and form acquaintances, so that it may aid your journeys through the Primordial World."

The atmosphere immediately livened up, as if resuming normalcy from stillness.

Duobao looked at the members of the Western Sect and inquired, "Junior Sister speaks sense. The Western Sect has brought some new Fellow Daoists; why not come forward and introduce yourselves?"

Several figures rose to their feet.

A little chubby boy with an open chest and a large belly greeted everyone with a beaming smile, "I, Mile, am a disciple of Saint Zhunti, pleased to meet all Fellow Daoists."

A slender young man beside him bowed and said indifferently, "I am Jin Naluo, a servant of Saint Zhunti, and I have met all fellow Daoists."

Bai Jin’s pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked up at the slender young man. Jin Naluo, Wutian, has he already appeared? She couldn’t help but glance at Senior Brother Duobao, the destined encounter! Senior Brother, your dear friend has appeared.

After the Western Sect members finished introducing themselves, Xuandu stood up, bowed, and said, "I am Xuandu, a disciple of the Human Sect, and I have met all fellow Daoists."

"I am Zhenwu, a disciple of the Human Sect, and I have met all fellow Daoists."

The disciples of the Chan Sect and Jie Sect also introduced themselves one after another. After the introductions, the atmosphere eased somewhat, and everyone began to chat and laugh.

Inside the Nuwa Palace, the disciples from the four sects all showed restraint, and the atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious, at least for the moment, as if they were all close as real brothers.

...

The Demon Court occupies the Thirty-Three Heavens, one of which is the Overwhelming Sea Realm. The black mass of sea water rages turbulently, crashing against the cliffs on the shore and splashing up blossoms of white foam.

Atop a towering cliff, an elegantly-attired middle-aged man was playing the zither. The clear sound of the zither echoed between Heaven and Earth, and even the thunderous roar of the ocean could not drown it out.

Boom~ The sea exploded, and infinite sea water surged up, forming a pair of gigantic sea water wings, the azure blue water wings blotted out the sky, spectacularly beautiful.

A blue-green bird’s head rose from the sea, the enormous transparent bird head looked at the elegant young man on the cliff, its eyes sparkling with intelligence.

Zing~ a zither note meandered upwards into the Nine Heavens, taking a long time before settling down, and with that, the music ceased.

The sea water bird head spoke, "Great Saint Fu Xi, you often come to play the zither for me, I really don’t know how to repay you."

Fu Xi sat cross-legged on the peak, looking at the bird head opposite him, smiling and saying, "To have Kunpeng Daoist as such a confidant in life is a fortunate matter, what is there to repay?"

The huge bird head stretched out, looking down from a height at Fu Xi, sighed deeply, and expressed with emotion, "Where in the Primordial World can one find true confidants?"

Fu Xi rested his hands on the zither strings, looking up and smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, do you despise me?"

"Ha ha~ Of course I esteem you. Since fellow Daoist Fu Xi calls me a confidant, could you spare my life?"

Fu Xi’s brow furrowed, and he said with confusion, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, what do you mean by this?"

"I am a Devil Master. Yesterday, I went to Tanggu to instruct the Golden Crow Crown Prince, but on my way to Tanggu, I sensed fluctuations in space and time, and even a trace of your aura, fellow Daoist. Could you explain that?"

Fu Xi’s expression remained unchanged, smiling as he said, "So what if it’s true? That doesn’t necessarily prove that I have been to Tanggu!"

The giant water bird collapsed with a splash, transforming into boundless sea water crashing down into the deep ocean, stirring up overwhelming waves as if Heaven and Earth themselves were being shaken.

A figure in black silently appeared beside Fu Xi. With a gentle pluck of the strings from Fu Xi’s hand, zing~ a zither note sounded.

The figure in black vibrated violently as if it could collapse at any moment, yet it remained standing firmly in place.

Fu Xi praised, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng has such exemplary cultivation; I am not your match~"

Kunpeng kneeled on the ground with a thud, cupping his fists and bowing his head, saying, "I ask you to spare my life, fellow Daoist!"

Fu Xi quickly rose to his feet, bending down to lift Kunpeng up, saying, "Please stand up, Fellow Daoist! Why do you do this?"

Kunpeng took the opportunity to rise, speaking bitterly, "Originally, I was but a great fish in the North Sea, aspiring to soar to the sky and transform into a bird, yet trapped by the Demon Court and becoming a Devil Master. Seeing the impending downfall of the Demon Court, I beseech you, fellow Daoist, to let me go and grant me freedom once more."

Fu Xi pondered for a moment and solemnly said, "How do you know that the Demon Court is on the brink of destruction?"

"Under the machinations of the Saints, how can the Demon Court survive intact?" Kunpeng looked at Fu Xi with hope, saying, "I can keep silent about everything, even help you, I just ask the Saint to speak and let me return to where I belong."

"When did you become aware of this?"

"I never believed you would join the Demon Court. Taiyi Emperor Jun boasts of the Demon Court and regards himself highly, believing that the Saints would need the Demon Court, but I do not think that a dignified Saint would stoop so low as to mix with the Demon Clan."
