Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 284 - 253, Yang Jiao’s Awakening

Inside Emperor Wa Heaven, the dark clouds condensed and transformed into a Small Banner, shooting towards the Nuwa Palace and entering into a golden gourd.

Qingluan stepped forward, covered the top of the gourd, and walked outside with it. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

After Qingluan left, Nuwa’s expression shifted as she called out, "Lingzhu Zi~"

Wearing a bellyband and holding a slingshot, Lingzhu Zi ran in from outside, bowed with hands clasped and called out, "Niangniang!"

With a thousand thoughts whirling through his mind and feeling faint, he wondered anxiously, "Why has Niangniang suddenly summoned me? Could it be that my hunting of spiritual beasts has been exposed? Or perhaps my theft of bird eggs was discovered—Yang Chan must have snitched! I am resolved: if I survive this ordeal, I will make sure she pays."

Nuwa looked at Lingzhu Zi, whose expression was changing unpredictably below, and said indifferently, "Chan Sect’s Taiyi has arrived; go and welcome him."

"Okay~" Lingzhu Zi’s face lit up with joy as he quickly turned and ran outside, transforming into a streak of firelight that rushed out of Nuwa Palace. He looked around, but all was Chaos, where could this Taiyi True Man of the Chan Sect be?

Moments later, an old Daoist holding a horsetail whisk walked out from the midst of Chaos with a smile.

Lingzhu Zi’s eyes shifted as he bowed with clasped hands and cordially called out, "Elder Taiyi, Niangniang has sent me to welcome you."

Taiyi True Man stroked his beard, sizing up Lingzhu Zi with a smile, and nodded as he said, "Good! Very good."

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lingzhu Zi chuckled awkwardly, "Elder brother, let’s go quickly! We shouldn’t keep Niangniang waiting."

Taiyi True Man nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist."

"No trouble, no trouble at all. Elder brother, please go first," Lingzhu Zi gestured with an extended hand and spoke respectfully.

Taiyi True Man nodded satisfiedly, approving of the respectful manners, "Very good, very good indeed."

Taiyi True Man took the lead towards Nuwa Palace, with Lingzhu Zi following, staring at the back of Taiyi True Man’s head. Quietly he took the slingshot from his waist, stretched it out, and a sphere of spiritual power gathered within the band. He chuckled to himself, "Back in the day, you chased me to strike me; now let’s see how you like this." He released the slingshot and the spiritual power sphere shot out, streaking towards Taiyi True Man with a trail of light.

Bang! The sphere struck Taiyi True Man squarely on the back of the head. He cried out in pain and tumbled forward, having never expected such a terrifying attack in Nuwa Palace.

Lingzhu Zi swung his slingshot triumphantly and exclaimed, "I hit him!"

A short while later, both the furious Taiyi True Man with a large bump on his head and the exhilarated Lingzhu Zi entered Nuwa Palace.

The two bowed respectfully and said, "Your disciples, Lingzhu Zi and Taiyi, pay their respects to Niangniang."

"Rise, both of you!"

They got up and sat down on the meditation cushions.

Lingzhu Zi laughed heartily and said, "Niangniang, you can talk. I’ll take my leave now, as I have some things I still need to do."

Nuwa spoke flatly, "Stay!"

"Eh~yes!" Lingzhu Zi complied, with his eyes darting around.

"Taiyi, what brings you to my Emperor Wa Heaven?" asked Nuwa.

Taiyi True Man replied respectfully, "My Master says that there is a mentor-disciple affinity between Lingzhu Zi and me. I ask Niangniang to kindly allow this."

"What?" Lingzhu Zi’s eyes widened in shock, and he immediately shook his head, saying, "No affinity, no affinity at all! I don’t want to be your disciple."

Taiyi True Man, suppressing his anger, enunciated each word, "I~am~your~Master!"

"That’s even more impossible! Niangniang, please decide for me!"

Nuwa watched Lingzhu Zi calmly.

Feeling extremely anxious under her gaze, Lingzhu Zi quickly knelt on the cushion, bowed deeply and pleaded, "Niangniang, don’t listen to his nonsense! There is no mentor-disciple affinity. I refuse to be his master, and he cannot be mine either."

Nuwa pointed with her hand, and with a bang, Lingzhu Zi exploded and turned into a Spiritual Pearl floating above the cushion, surrounded by four Innate Treasures: the Fire-tipped Spear, Chaos Sky Silk, Qiankun Ring, and Wind and Fire Wheels.

Nuwa said, "Take them."

Taiyi True Man bowed respectfully and said with delight, "Thank you, Niangniang. Your disciple will certainly teach well."

Nuwa slightly nodded her head.

Taiyi True Man stood up, gathered the Spiritual Pearl, Fire-tipped Spear, Chaos Sky Silk, Qiankun Ring, and Wind and Fire Wheel, then turned and walked towards the outside, flying away from Wa Emperor Heaven.

Qingluan and Cai Feng walked in from the outside, standing at either side of the Cloud Bed.

Curious, Qingluan asked, "Niangniang, why did you hand over the Spiritual Pearl to Taiyi True Man?"

"The Spiritual Pearl has a poor temperament, unruly and overbearing; it needs to be tempered by tribulations."

"But Bai Jin could have been entrusted with this task! Brother Bai Jin is one of our own people from the Nuwa Palace." Qingluan said, as if it were obvious.

Nuwa spoke calmly, "Bai Jin is naturally lazy and simple, naive and honest.

Taiyi True Man comes from Chan Sect, valuing decorum and discipline.

The Spiritual Pearl needs to be constrained and honed; the Chan Sect is the most suitable for this."

Qingluan nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, the Spiritual Pearl needs strict discipline—it cannot become successful without being put through trials. Surely Niangniang’s choice is the most correct.

"Cai Feng~"

"Niangniang, what would you like me to do?"

"Go to the Primordial World and in Xi Qi cry out thrice."

"Yes!" Cai Feng responded, and then walked towards the outside.

...

At the break of dawn, over the East Sea, the Great Sun emerged, scattering brilliant golden light.

"Chi~"

"Chi~"

"Chi~"

Three crisp cries rang out in Xi Qi, piercing the clouds and rending the sky, resounding throughout the Primordial World, with numerous powerful cultivators all sensing it and looking in the direction of Xi Qi.

On the Three Light Immortal Path, Bai Jin was still deep in slumber; three consecutive cries abruptly woke him. Sitting up from bed, he looked towards the Primordial World; the Calamity had begun. Hesitating for a moment, he lay back down and continued to sleep—for him, to get through another day was enough, as peaceful days were numbered.

It was well into the morning before Bai Jin got out of bed. Lazily walking outside, on the island, a resolute young man stood by the seaside, gazing at the sea lost in thought.

Bai Jin’s expression shifted, and he walked over with a smile, saying, "Yang Jiao, congratulations on breaking through to Taiyi Golden Immortal and finding your true self."

Yang Jiao turned his head to look at Bai Jin, sorrowfully saying, "Disciple would rather never have achieved Taiyi Golden Immortal."

Bai Jin sighed and said, "You have not yet forgotten, have you?"

Clenching his teeth with resentment, Yang Jiao said, "Disciple will never forget. My father was killed before my eyes, my sister fell into the Abyss in front of me, and my mother perished before me. One day, I will ascend to the Heavenly Court and slay all those heartless divine beings."

Bai Jin frowned and glanced at the sky, saying nonchalantly, "Now that the Sealing God Tribulation has begun, whether we have a future or what the future holds is hard to say.

So be it - before the Tribulation begins, let me tell you everything you don’t know. If we perish within the Tribulation, you should have no regrets."

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

"Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian originally wanted me to keep it a secret.

When Yaoji was suppressed, he also asked me to keep a secret—look where that got us.

This time, I’ve decided not to listen to him. I’ll do as I see fit."
