Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 369 - 324, Bai Jin Tells a Story

Bai Jin suddenly recalled something and said, "Master, before I went to the Sealing God Battlefield to make plans, I heard an interesting story. I would like to share it with you."

"What could possibly be so important that you specially came to tell me?"

"It’s nothing major, just a small tale I found entertaining. I thought I’d share it to bring a smile to your face, Master."

The Tongtian Sect Master smiled and nodded, feeling touched. Among all his Disciples, it was only Bai Jin who dared to come and engage in such idle chatter with him.

"Go on then, let’s hear it!"

"Let’s hear a story. There is a family, a Master and his Disciple, who live by the cliffside.

The Disciple wears a Mountain River Crown, wields a Three-pointed Blade, his eyes are like a Demon Mirror, his legs as swift as the Chasing Wind Horse. Accompanied by the Demon Slaying Sword, he has the skill to traverse both heavens and oceans with ease. His surname is Yang Jian, styled Erlang."

The Tongtian Sect Master frowned immediately and asked, "Are you very familiar with him?"

"Master, you know very well that it’s slightly better than not knowing him at all."

Bai Jin continued, "One day, Tian Yuding summoned Yang Jian and coughed, saying: ’Young Yang, you’ve grown up; it’s time for you to venture out and make a name for yourself. Your granduncle is planning a rebellion and lacks manpower, you should go and give him a hand.’"

"Yang Jian immediately happily responded with an ’Understood!’

With his bags packed, he scurried down the mountain."

The Tongtian Sect Master scoffed, "What ’Young Yang’? Is there such a form of address? And rebellion, indeed. He is participating in the Sealing God Battle."

"As you say, Master."

Bai Jin replied casually and continued, "It is said that, after Yang Jian descended the mountain, he happened upon a severely injured demon dog in a valley..."

"That must be the Howling Celestial Dog, right?"

Bai Jin paused, irritatedly exclaiming, "Master, could you please not interrupt? How can your Disciple continue the story?"

The Tongtian Sect Master darkened in countenance, his fingers twitching in anticipation.

Unaware of the Tongtian Sect Master’s changing mood, Bai Jin went on, "Yang Jian found the demon dog pierced through the chest with an arrow, lying unconscious on the ground.

He immediately went forward to check on the demon dog’s injury, removed the arrow, and then began to treat its wounds.

However, the injury from the arrow was old, and the flesh around it was rotting, making it difficult to heal.

Using a knife, Yang Jian cut away the rotting flesh from the demon dog’s body. Just as he was doing so, the demon dog suddenly woke up and bit viciously into Yang Jian’s leg, causing him to scream in pain.

The two of them rolled on the ground, struggling and thrashing.

Moments later, Yang Jian, limping, subdued the demon dog and furiously scolded, ’You wretched dog, biting the hand that heals you. You deserve to be hunted down and killed.’

The demon dog, rejoiced to find its wounds significantly healed, immediately believed Yang Jian’s words. Soon after, it knelt before him, barking twice in gratitude and said, ’Thank you, master, for saving my life! You gave me a name to live by, I will follow you unto death, repaying your deed with my life. Please, master, take me in.’"

Yang Jian asked, "What’s your name?"

"The puppy’s name is Xiao Tian!"

Yang Jian’s face turned cold as he shouted, "Xiao Tian? So you are the Heavenly Court’s lapdog! Watch me execute you."

The demon dog hastily exclaimed, "My lord, please quell your anger. It is not the ’filial’ of filial piety, but the ’roaring’ of shouting. I am the dog that roars at heaven, and I and the Heavenly Court are irreconcilable."

Thus, Yang Jian was overjoyed to take in the Howling Celestial Dog, and they both set off towards Xi Qi.

Later, someone spread the word about this incident, and it was jokingly referred to as "The dog bites Yang Erlang, oblivious to a good heart!"

Tongtian chuckled and said, "Bai Jin, you didn’t make up this story, did you?"

Bai Jin cried out in defense, "Master, how could you think so? A disciple wouldn’t deceive anyone, let alone You! No, wait, this disciple is a pure and kind young gentleman, never resorting to lying or deceiving."

"Because that Howling Celestial Dog seems to have a similar style to yours, haha~" Tongtian laughed twice.

Bai Jin was at a loss for words, thinking, Oh, my dear Master! Is this really how you see your disciple?

Then he continued, "Master, after hearing this story, I’ve had a profound realization. I think that amongst us Immortal Gods, there should be more trust. Sometimes we should not let one-sided views blind us. Yang Jian may have seemed to be cutting the meat of the Howling Celestial Dog, but in reality, wasn’t it for the dog’s own good? Master, you agree, don’t you?!"

The Tongtian Sect Master said with satisfaction, "To think in such a way is very good! Sometimes I am stern with you, but isn’t it for your own good?"

Bai Jin nodded repeatedly, touched, and said, "Master cares for the disciple, and I am immensely grateful."

Tongtian said with satisfaction, "To gain such an insight from this small tale is indeed excellent; your comprehension has indeed improved somewhat."

"Largely thanks to your teachings, Master, I feel that the Quasi-Saint Realm is now within reach," Bai Jin said confidently.

"Haha~ The Quasi-Saint Realm is not so simple!" The Tongtian Sect Master laughed and said, "You’ve finished your tale, now go practice the Arrays! Once we have defeated the Chan Sect, I will personally elucidate the Quasi-Saint Path to you."

"Thank you, Master. The disciple takes his leave." Bai Jin hopped down the steps and ran towards the outside, sprinting out of the hall.

Within the Biyou Palace, Tongtian’s smile gradually faded, feeling that something was amiss. ’The dog bites Yang Erlang, oblivious to a good heart’—is Bai Jin hinting at something? Is my Jie Sect the wounded Howling Celestial Dog? Is Primordial coming to my rescue like Yang Erlang? Or am I overthinking it? Forget it, no more pondering! Whether he means it or not, I’ll punish him first.

The Tongtian Sect Master waved his sleeve, and an agonized scream ’Ah~’ came from outside. Amidst the scream, a figure spiraled into the sky, speeding up, and with a flash of light, vanished into a star.

Many Jie Sect Disciples who were practicing Arrays all looked skyward, envious of the favor their Elder Brother of the Outer Door had just received from their Master.

Moments later, a black dot above the Three Lights Immortal Island enlarged, and then crashed down like a meteorite onto the island, creating a humanoid crater over a meter deep—no serious damage done.

Bai Jin, hair disheveled, climbed out of the crater, letting out a long breath. It seemed that Master had likely come to a realization. He floated up, leaped out of the hole, and nonchalantly went towards his Bird’s Nest, taking a hot spring bath, doing his hair, changing into fresh clothes, and once again transformed into a clean and neat Bai Xiaojin before heading out.

Bai Jin did not go practice the Big Array but instead caught a large clam in the sea depths, prepared a fine dish, and after that, headed to Kunlun Mountain.

Under the cover of night, over Kunlun Mountain, Bai Jin’s figure emerged, adjusting his robes as he made his way towards Yuxu Palace.

Bai Jin landed before Yuxu Palace, respectfully making a formal bow and said, "Disciple seeks an audience with the Master!"

The grand doors of Yuxu Palace silently opened, light streaming out from within the palace.

A majestic voice resounded, "Enter!" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Bai Jin entered Yuxu Palace, looking up to see a Coiling Dragon Pillar with the mouth of a dragon holding a lamp, the base of which was Eight Diagram shaped, the body like a Pagoda, inside of which danced a golden flame—it was the Yuxu Glazed Lamp, one of the Four Great Innate Spirit Lamps.

Bai Jin knelt on the meditation cushion, showing deep respect, and said, "Disciple pays respect to Master, wishing Master eternally prosperous Saint Dao!"

The Primordial Venerable said with authority, "Bai Jin, what brings you here at this hour? If you are here to persuade me to cease the hostilities and lay down arms, there’s no need to say more."
