Chapter 99: Chapter 99, Visiting Shouyang Mountain

Bai Jin said with a smile, "Master Uncle, now that I have collected this scripture, should I be whisked away to Shouyang Mountain?"

Zhunti asked with a smile, "Little junior nephew, do you know what scripture this is?"

"I don’t know! Master Uncle, how do I get to Shouyang Mountain?!"

"This scripture is written by my senior brother, the ’Great Dream Heart Scripture,’ which allows one to confirm the Tao in dreams."

Bai Jin gave a thumbs up and said, "Impressive! Master Uncle, can you send me to Shouyang Mountain now?"

"This scripture contains the Western Dao, which is entirely different from the Eastern Jie Sect. If understood, one can achieve Quasi-Saint status."

Bai Jin raised his thumb again and said, "Remarkable! Master Uncle, can you send me now to Shouyang Mountain?"

Zhunti looked at Bai Jin, laughed heartily, and said, "Little junior nephew, you are quite amusing! I now believe you are indeed in a hurry. Well then! I’ll send you off right now."

Bai Jin was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Master Uncle!"

Zhunti waved his hand casually, and Bai Jin’s figure disappeared instantly.

In the valley, Pilanpo said displeased, "Master, who is he? So disrespectful to refuse when the Holy One is preaching?"

Zhunti said with a smile, "To decline such an opportunity to hear the Holy One’s preaching shows he has a high mindset and cultivation, aware of what he truly wants. This will enable him to go further, and I admire that."

Pilanpo asked in confusion, "Master, why not take him to the Western realms?"

Zhunti said with a free-spirited smile, "Haven’t I already sent him the ’Great Dream Heart Scripture’? As long as he studies it diligently, he will come eventually. I can wait patiently, there’s no rush!"

...

Not far from the Human Clan’s gathering area, within the Shouyang Mountain range, a figure suddenly appeared.

Bai Jin turned his head and looked around; the famous name ’Shouyang Mountain’ emerged in his mind. Arriving at the realm of his Eldest Uncle, his nervousness instantly eased, replaced by a sense of gratitude.

This was Bai Jin’s first real contact with Zhunti, and his opinion about him greatly improved. In past legends, Zhunti was described as a shameless person, but now it seems that rumors were misleading. How could someone who became a Saint be truly despicable?!

The gentle and transcendent demeanor alone was admirable, growing more endearing as he interacted further, almost like a trustworthy and respectable elder family member.

Bai Jin sighed inwardly, no wonder in the future Buddha Sect would flourish tremendously; just this manner of interacting already surpassed both his Second Masters and Master.

Bai Jin called out loudly, "Eldest Uncle, your disciple has come to pay respect to you."

A hoary voice from the main peak answered, "Come here!"

Bai Jin’s face brightened, and he immediately flew towards the sound, landing on the mountain peak.

Atop the peak, Taishang Sect Leader was sitting by the cliff, sipping tea and enjoying the view.

In the distance, Xuandu, Zhenwu, Jin Ling, and Yin Ling were digging and moving earth.

Bai Jin approached Taishang, knelt down, and respectfully said, "Disciple Bai Jin pays respect to Eldest Uncle, wishing for the prosperity of Saint Dao and the Human Sect."

Taishang smiled and nodded, saying, "Get up! You’re not at East Sea building your Tao Palace, what are you doing here?"

Bai Jin stood up and sat down, smiling and saying, "Eldest Uncle, your disciple specially came to help you build your Tao Palace.

Master, your Tao Palace hasn’t been built yet, how could I be in the mood to build my own small Tao premises?"

Taishang laughed heartily and said, "It’s rare you have such intent."

"Please give me the materials, Eldest Uncle. Your disciple will commit fully to building your Tao Palace well. Don’t worry, Master; I helped construct my Master’s Tao Palace, so I have experience."

"Well then! Since you have this filial piety, I’ll entrust you with building my Tao Palace! This old Tao will take a lazy break."

Taishang waved his horsetail whisk, and dense clusters of Immortal Materials and Divine Treasures appeared in the air. He pointed at Bai Jin, and instantly an image of a Tao Palace emerged in Bai Jin’s mind.

Bai Jin’s eyes lit up, and he quickly gathered all the materials, secretly calculating, "My goodness~ It’s just right again, is the Eldest Uncle also this stingy? Could being stingy be a family trait of The Three Pure Ones?!"

Bai Jin bowed solemnly to Taishang and hesitated before saying, "Eldest Uncle, why does this Tao Palace need to be 3000 meters?"

"Three thousand is a heavenly number."

"Disciple, when building the Tao Palace for Master, Master once said something that Disciple has remembered by heart."

Taishang, interested, asked, "What did Tongtian say?"

"Master said, ’The hexagrams should not be exhaustively calculated, as Heavenly Dao is unpredictable. Tasks should not be exhaustively done, as that leads to a dead end. The Great Dao has fifty, the heavens yield forty-nine, perfection is thus the endpoint.’ Therefore, Master’s Tao Palace is only twenty-nine hundred meters."

Taishang said joyfully, "Very good! ’To hold until full is not as good as stopping in time; to sharpen until keen cannot be preserved long. Gold and jade fill the halls, none can defend them; wealthy and prideful lead to their own faults. Achieve and retreat, this is the way of Heaven.

Tongtian has also grown after leaving us!

Bai Jin, the matter of building the Tao Palace will be entrusted to you, just proceed according to your ideas."

Bai Jin joyfully said, "Yes! Master," and immediately turned to run towards those who were digging.

Yin Ling telepathically said, "Brother, do you also know how to build palaces?"

"I’ve seen it done, it doesn’t seem hard!"

Xuandu telepathically said, "Brother, I also know a bit about building Tao Palaces."

Bai Jin telepathically replied, "That’s great! Let’s work together to build the Tao Palace for the Eldest Uncle."

Members of the Human Sect were moved, Bai Jin, their senior brother, traveled thousands of miles to build the Tao Palace for their Master; such camaraderie, who could match? This is what it means to be one’s own people!

A constructing boom thunderously unfolded at Yangshou Mountain.

Three days later, a brand-new palace stood on Shouyang Mountain, with three large characters brilliantly shining above the palace: Eight Sceneries Palace.

Inside the grand hall, the main seat was a flame-shaped seat, with Taishang seated atop, enhancing his dignified aura.

Below, several disciples and Bai Jin sat on meditation cushions.

Bai Jin, smiling, said, "Eldest Uncle, are you satisfied with this Tao Palace?"

Taishang looked around helplessly and said, "Overall it’s fine, but it’s a bit too lavish."

"Eldest Uncle, this isn’t considered lavish. You are a Saint, and even this Tao Palace feels like it’s still underwhelming for you!"

Taishang laughed heartily, "Well then! Since it’s your heartfelt effort, I shall accept it."

Bai Jin said, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Eldest Uncle, there are still some leftover materials."

Taishang generously said, "I give them to you."

Bai Jin bowed his head in gratitude, excitedly saying, "Thank you, Eldest Uncle! Eldest Uncle, I wish to pay my respects to my Second Master, please send me on my way."

With a wave of his hand, Taishang instantly made Bai Jin disappear.

Kunlun Mountain soared into the clouds, Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, True Man Yuding, and other pupils of Chan Sect, were strenuously climbing the main peak of Kunlun Mountain, with clouds swirling under their feet.

Ci Hang helplessly said, "Until when does Father intend to punish us?"

True Man Yuding shook his head, "I don’t know! Both my Uncle and Great Uncle moved, Father is upset in his heart, and we can only be punished."

Guang Chengzi said solemnly, "Our previous actions did indeed go too far, Father being angry is understandable."

Chi Jingzi sighed, "As far as I know, both Uncle and Great Uncle decided to move after Bai Jin’s visit."

As the climbers persisted up the mountain, their bodies suddenly paused, and a fire surged within them when they thought of Bai Jin. If you were to ask who among the Chan Sect people annoyed them the most, it wasn’t Lord Duobao who beat them, nor the Jie Sect Outer Disciples who insulted them, but Bai Jin - the one who always pretended and fawned over their Master.
