Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 905 - 828: Consulting Yu Lou

Bai Jin walked into the palace and made his way into the side hall. As he neared, he caught the scent of the food inside and immediately laughed heartily, saying, "Daoist Yulou, what delicious food are you making?"

He passed through the archway and entered a courtyard, following the aroma into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Yu Lou Old Taoist was crouched in front of a stove, where a pot of good soup was bubbling away, with mountain delicacies rolling inside.

Yu Lou Old Taoist smiled and said, "Every time I cook, you show up. I suspect you’re monitoring me."

"Fellow Daoist, this is fate, the fate of delicious food."

Bai Jin sat down in front of Yu Lou Old Taoist, sniffed the air, and exclaimed, "Smells so good!"

"It’s just some wild mountain delicacies, nothing compared to the seafood feasts the Sect Hierarch and Demon Ancestor eat."

"Haha~ In fact, my favorite is mountain delicacies. I don’t like seafood at all; fish bones are hard to chew, and the meat is tough to eat."

"Those are called fish bones!"

"Same thing, same thing."

Bai Jin chuckled twice, eagerly eyeing the big pot.

Yu Lou Old Taoist curiously asked, "What did the Demon Ancestor say to you?"

"The Demon Ancestor said the Demon Tribulation is about to begin, the gates of the Demon Realm will soon open, and I need to lead the Demon Realm army to conquer the Three Realms."

Yu Lou Old Taoist stirred the mountain delicacy soup with a wooden spoon and calmly said, "Did you agree?"

Bai Jin instinctively shook his head and immediately said righteously, "How could I do such a thing? I’m a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor, a child of the Three Realms. Even though I thrive in the Demon Realm, the Three Realms are forever my home."

Yu Lou Old Taoist’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile as he laughed and said, "Aren’t you afraid your godfather will punish you for defying the Demon Ancestor’s decree?"

Bai Jin bragged confidently, "Afraid of what? Once the gates of the Demon Realm open, we can go to the Three Realms. I’ll find my Master, and above him, there’s my Master. What do I have to fear?

The Demon Ancestor is just a godfather, like a father; but the Taoist Ancestor is my Master, like a grandfather.

There’s a saying that the bond skips a generation, and my relationship with my Master is the closest."

"Haha~" Yu Lou Old Taoist laughed twice, saying, "Your ranking logic is interesting, but there’s nothing wrong with it. I like it."

"Is the soup ready?"

"It needs to simmer a bit more. Simmering soup is like training a hawk; only when simmered to the bone, extracting its essence, will it be more fragrant."

Bai Jin nodded and curiously asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you plan to do when you return to the Three Realms?"

"I’ll probably find a place to continue living in seclusion, or perhaps keep wandering around, exploring the Three Realms."

"Would you be interested in coming with me to the Heavenly Court? I can protect you and ensure your peace and safety." Bai Jin immediately extended the invitation. If I have the Taoist Ancestor by my side, who in the Three Realms would I fear?

Yu Lou Old Taoist waved dismissively and said, "Never mind! You should first consider your own matters."

"Me? What matters do I have?"

"This situation of yours isn’t easy to resolve. Don’t openly offend the Demon Ancestor. You still need to put on the appearance of attacking the Three Realms. Otherwise, even with the Tongtian Sect Master’s protection, you’re bound to suffer a bit."

Bai Jin thoughtfully nodded, murmuring, "Makes some sense. Maybe I should disperse Buddhism?"

Yu Lou Old Taoist quickly said, "This is something you’ve said yourself, it has nothing to do with me. In the future, make sure Buddhism doesn’t come looking for me."

"Understood, I definitely won’t expose you. Look at you being so timid." Bai Jin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Yu Lou Old Taoist showed a pleased smile and said, "I’m not like you. I don’t have any Master behind me."

"My Master is the Taoist Ancestor."

"Yes, yes, I know. I’ve heard it so much my ears are growing calluses."

Bai Jin wore a smug smile, then with a glint in his eye, said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, there’s something I need your advice on."

"What is it? Tell me."

"This time, the Demon Ancestor approached me, claiming to present a grand opportunity. He said that when the Demon Clan unites the Three Realms, it would be the peak day of the Demon Realm’s Qi Fortune. As the Leader of the Demon Sect, I could ride on this Qi Fortune and ascend into the ranks of Supreme Strong."

Yu Lou Old Taoist, slightly annoyed, said, "Why ask me about such supreme matters? I’m just a mere Golden Immortal; what qualifications do I have to discuss Quasi-Saint or supreme matters? Do you overestimate me that much?"

"In the entire Demon Realm, it’s just you and I as people of the Three Realms. Who else would I ask? You may not understand the Quasi-Saint Path, but you possess great wisdom.

Your shiny head, shining with the light of wisdom, will surely provide me with the right insights."

Yu Lou Old Taoist instinctively touched his somewhat bald forehead, then nonchalantly put his hand down, coughed, and said, "Shall I just say whatever comes to mind?"

Bai Jin quickly nodded, listening respectfully, "This humble Daoist is all ears!"

Yu Lou Old Taoist coughed and said, "Based on this humble Daoist’s expe... guess, guesswork! The Demon Ancestor’s actions surely have special reasons and his own schemes."

"I wholeheartedly agree with Fellow Daoist’s guess.

To see through the Demon Ancestor’s ulterior motives, Fellow Daoist is truly brilliant!"

"According to this humble Daoist’s guess, in all things, there is gain and loss. Using Qi Fortune to step into the ranks of the Supreme Strong is, after all, a shortcut. The strength surely can’t match those Supreme Strong who cultivated traditionally."

Bai Jin nodded continuously.

Yu Lou Old Taoist stroked his beard: "Based on this humble Daoist’s guess, and just a guess, mind you! Fortunes may rise and fall. If you use the Qi Fortune of the Demon Realm to ascend to the Supreme Strong, there should be at least two disadvantages."

"Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist!"

"The first flaw is that stepping into the Supreme by such means will bind yourself to the Demon Realm, making it difficult to extricate yourself."

"Wouldn’t that turn me into an authentic Demon Clan member?"

"That’s just an old Taoist’s guess, not necessarily true."

"The second flaw is the lack of self-perfection and reliance on shortcuts to enter the realm of Supreme Strong, making it very difficult to have a chance of proving the Tao in the future."

Bai Jin nodded sincerely and said, "What Fellow Daoist says is very true. I almost made a mistake."

Yu Lou Old Taoist chuckled and said, "These are merely personal guesses, not conclusive. Besides, in the vast Primordial World, how many have entered the ranks of the Supreme Strong? How many have become Saints? If such a Supreme Strong opportunity is in front of you, would it not be a pity to pass it up because of an old man’s guess?"

Bai Jin, unconcerned, said, "What’s to pity? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Fellow Daoist, the Supreme Strong isn’t of that much importance to me. Since I started cultivating, I rarely have to act myself.

I have my Master, Master, and two Ladies to protect me overhead, with the Law Enforcement Team as guards below. In the middle, I have friends like the Heavenly Emperor, Immortal Zhenyuan, Ming He Sect Master, and Vermilion Bird Venerable Sage to support me.

With these friends around, my strength isn’t all that important."
