Zhunti is undoubtedly aware of what happened in the Jade Eternal Palace. He is not necessarily seeking to achieve any unscrupulous objectives, but rather simply wishes to watch and enjoy the spectacle like a spectator.
If one is to enjoy the juicy gossip, then the protagonist, Southern Immortal Lord, cannot be allowed to leave.
Zhunti begins to recall the tumultuous past years.
The relationships between Nuwa, the Western Holy Two and the Three Pure Ones were not amicable. Hongjun did not wish for them to be united as a solid block, but the six saints were not at odds to the point of animosity.
In the distant past when none of them had yet become sages, Nuwa and the Two Holy Ones of the West had visited the Kunlun Mountains to pay respects to their three senior brothers as fellow disciples and juniors. Although they only made these visits a few times, their relationship did not grow closer because of them, but they had indeed made the trip.
At this point, Zhunti is very enthusiastic about reminiscing about the past. He begins to recall the magnificent scenery when he and his disciple, Jieyin, visited Kunlun Mountains to pay respects to the Three Pure Ones, and the interesting stories that occurred during their discussions among their six disciples.
Southern Immortal Lord feels a headache coming on but cannot interrupt Zhunti's reminiscence, nor dare he interrupt. Even perfunctory responses are not allowed, for he must not leave any room for excuses. He must listen intently, nodding occasionally to show agreement.
"Hmm, what the saint has said is indeed true."
"Ah, I see. The saint's wisdom extends a thousand miles, and the disciples are truly impressed."
Greataus and Weihu stood on the side as mere background characters, adopting a respectful listening posture every time Southern Immortal Lord spoke. It's hard to say what they were really thinking.
In front of the Jade Solitude Palace at Kunlun Mountain.
Yu Yuan raises his arm and strikes with the Gold-light Tool towards Jiang Ziyao's forehead.
Old Jiang tries to dodge, but he cannot avoid it at all. He has prepared himself; if you touch me, I will lie down!
He has made ample preparations for a good "slip and fall" act.
If he touches her, there's still a chance. But if he doesn't touch her, there's no hope at all. He can't resist the power of the divine mother, the Jade-like Saint Mother.
Yu Yuan, in his normal state, stands at 1.7 zhang (equivalent to about 6 meters), but during this visit to the Jade Solitude Palace, and given that he stands behind the teacher, Golden Spirit Saint Mother, he feels too tall and is not quite dignified. So he uses a magic technique to condense his figure. Now he looks to be a little over 8 zhi (equivalent to about 2.4 meters) tall.
Even so, this powerful and heavy blow is still enough to be fatal. Jiang Ziyao has never been known for his high physical defenses. On the contrary, he is a typical fragile immortal in the primeval era.
Golden Spirit Saint Mother maintains her composure and extends her hand, grabbing the disciple's wrist. The Gold-light Tool stops just three inches away from Jiang Ziyao's forehead.
Jiang Ziyao seems to be pretending to slip and fall, but seeing that the large tool is still a bit away from him, he doesn't lie down in the end.
"Teacher!" Yu Yuan sounds a bit urgent. He wanted to take advantage of the disrespectful attitude in Old Jiang's words to kill him directly, to avenge Wen Zhong. Although the logic chain is a bit weak, it is still a reason. Now that Golden Spirit Saint Mother has intervened, he can no longer take this opportunity to make an issue out of it.
Golden Spirit Saint Mother does not look at her disciple but directly looks at the imperturbable Jiang Ziyao: "Even the prestigious Jade Solitude Palace will not let a half-immortal who is barely an immortal to be in charge. Seeing your advanced age and frailty, I won't make things difficult for you. Quickly go and invite someone who can make decisions. I respect the Jade Clear Saint and all the illustrious scholars of the Shaojiao School, and I will wait for three days at the foot of the mountain. Three days later, if you do not deliver Shen Gong Bao to me, or if you bring someone else who can make decisions to negotiate with me, it will be done."
"We leave!" Golden Spirit Saint Mother leads the way down the mountain. Yu Yuan's gaze at Jiang Ziyao is like he wants to eat him alive, but with Jiang being pulled away, this strong man eventually suppresses his anger and follows Golden Spirit Saint Mother down the mountain.
Jiang Ziyao lets out a sigh of relief. In that moment, he almost thought he was going to die again. No one wants to die.
Considering he is a half-immortal who has "no spiritual lineage," and he single-handedly blocks the master sister of the Fiery Ascension School, his actions look just as commendable as those of the Daoist School of Exploration.
Golden Spirit Saint Mother's words are logically sound. If you can't make the decision, then you should find someone who can.
Jiang Ziyao does not believe that he can be the one in charge of the Exploration School within three days. There is still enough time for him to travel from the Elysium Garden Cave on Jiu Xian Mountain back to the original source, even with his divine speed.
Southern Immortal Lord is nowhere to be found at this moment, so I have to find Guang Chengzi.
There's nothing much to arrange on the side of the Jade Solitude Palace. A venue as prestigious as a saint's abode wouldn't be visited by thieves, let alone Golden Spirit Saint Mother...
It is impossible to sneak in at this time. Old Jiang doesn't even bother to linger for long. Hurriedly, he drives his fire manipulation and heads off to the Jiu Xian Mountain in search of Guang Chengzi.
The vast Jade Solitude Palace must have more than just the Southern Immortal Lord and Jiang Ziyao.
Southern Immortal Lord left, and so did Jiang Ziyao. But could the Jade Solitude Palace be empty then? That's not possible.
Even though the Daoist School of Exploration follows an elite education, there are still slaves, boys, and laborers present. Although their numbers are relatively small, extending this concept further, there are also those who brew wine, cultivate sacred rice, manage the drug garden, and take care of the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage. Here, it's basically a small society aimed at serving Taishou Tianshi.
Jiang Ziyao representing the Daoist School of Exploration to greet Golden Spirit Saint Mother is not because of his high cultivation, but because he is a named disciple of Taishou Tianshi. To be precise, there are countless individuals in the Jade Solitude Palace with higher cultivation than him, with even those who till the land reaching the level of celestial immortals.
However, there are some places where even common servants like Jiang Ziyao cannot enter.
As Old Jiang leaves the Jade Solitude Palace, a strange laughter echoes from the depths of Southern Immortal Lord's cave dwelling.
"All gone? I've had a comfortable sleep. It's truly as if heaven is not going to let me perish." Shen Gong Bao, who had lost all his magical power and looked like an octogenarian with a withered face, has regained his youthful appearance, full of vitality. He strides out boldly, opening the door and stepping out of the dungeon.
Southern Immortal Lord has not tied him up with ropes and bindings. There's no need. A powerless outcast in the Jade Solitude Palace of Kunlun Mountain can achieve what? Can he escape? If you let him run, where can he go?
The reason for being confined to his own cave was also because the Jade Solitude Palace does not have a jail.
Originally, Shen Gong Bao was just an ordinary person immortal, but now the magical power in his body seems to have no bounds, continuously rising and eventually reaching a level comparable to a golden immortal.
Without the fruit of a Golden Immortal Dao, but with the same level of magical power.
Shen Gong Bao still looks like he has black hair and a black beard, but there's a trace of an unexplainable fury deep in his eyes.
The servants of the Jade Solitude Palace are still completing their daily tasks, completely unaware of his appearance. He walks out like he's in an empty space, alone and unconcerned.
"Oh? " When passing by a Daoist palace, he couldn't help but look twice at the hanging lanterns at the palace gate.
"Waste of the heavens! Hongjun's disciples don't know what it means to cherish things."
He stretches out his hand, effortlessly removing the ancient lantern.
This is the Yuxu Yuliyi Lantern, one of the four Primeval Spiritual Lamps. The other three Lamps are the Ba Jing Gong Lantern held by Taiqing Saint and the Cuiguang Liangyi Lantern and Ling Zhou Palace Lantern held by Deng Chanyu.
Taishou Tianshi has numerous treasured items, and even the four spiritual lamps are of little use in his hands. He simply hangs them outside the Daoist palace for lighting.
