Chapter 177: Chapter 164, Tongtian Invites Guests_2 Wudang Saint smiled and said, "Only you, junior brother, dare to take advantage of Master’s assets." "Senior sister, do you need something from me?" Wudang Saint hesitated for a moment and said with embarrassment, "I heard that you, junior brother, have some ways to quickly earn Merit." "Is senior sister lacking Merit?" Wudang Saint nodded and said honestly, "Ever since I began my cultivation, I have not made any significant contributions to Heaven and Earth, hence I have never accumulated any Merit. This time, when attempting to break into the Daluo Realm, I nearly fell into obsession." She bowed respectfully and said, "Please, junior brother, give me some guidance." Bai Jin quickly raised his hand and said, "Senior sister, you are too kind. You are my very own senior sister, who else would I help if not you? However, I currently do not have any good ideas. Let me think over it for a few days, and as soon as I have an idea, I will immediately notify you." Wudang Saint expressed her thanks with an apologetic tone, "Thank you, junior brother. I know it’s inappropriate to seek others for Creation, but I really had no other choice, so please do not blame me, junior brother." Bai Jin said without concern, "A little bit of Merit... What kind of Creation is that? In fact, once one accumulates a certain amount of Merit, it becomes just a number to me, meaningless. Becoming a Saint through Merit is impossible, and I myself can’t even use it all up." Wudang Saint was momentarily at a loss for words, thinking, how can junior brother’s words provoke someone to action like this?! "Senior sister, how about I gift you some Merit to start with?" Wudang Saint shook her head and said, "Merit should be cultivated personally. I only need to ask for some guidance from junior brother." "Alright, leave it to me." Wudang Saint sighed with relief and said, "Thank you for the trouble, junior brother." After chatting a little longer with Bai Jin, Wudang Saint casually strolled out while carrying a plate, pondering the various ideas on how she could help her senior sister earn Merit. ... A year later, two furious auras flashed across the sky above Biyou Palace, sending a chilling coldness that made all beings of the East Sea feel as if their souls were frozen. Then a hearty laugh erupted, and the chill immediately dissipated. In the back courtyard of the Biyou Palace, Tongtian General tidied up his flashy gold poker cards, having won a considerable amount of Merit. Next time, he planned to play mahjong with the two Western junior brothers and make them cry; it would be best if he could also win their Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus. Tongtian called out, "Duobao, come to Biyou Palace to see me." Lord Duobao entered the Biyou Palace and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Master!" The figure of the Tongtian Sect Master materialized on the main seat and said, "Duobao, you teach the Outer Disciples; yet Bai Jin mentioned they are often arrogant and have a penchant for killing. Is this true?" Lord Duobao took a deep breath, annoyed that Bai Jin, the flatterer, had actually gone and complained to Master. He replied respectfully, "To report to Master, currently, our Jie Sect Disciples are all well-cultivated, with brotherly unity and love, and there is no truth to any claim of their being arrogant or bloodthirsty. On the contrary, the Law Enforcement Team acts without restraint, oppressing our fellows, and exceedingly tyrannical." Tongtian smiled and said, "Duobao, since Bai Jin has misunderstandings towards the Outer Disciples, then show the excellent aspects of the Outer Disciples so that he has nothing to say." Lord Duobao respectfully replied, "Your disciple understands! What about the Law Enforcement Team?" Tongtian said with a smile, "I will handle the Law Enforcement Team." "Thank you, Master!" "Go on." "Your disciple takes his leave!" Lord Duobao stood up, bowed respectfully, and turned to walk away. Inside Duobao Tower, the figure of Daoist Lord Duobao appeared, sitting cross-legged on the main cushion, emanating an air of dignity. Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal walked in and asked, "Big senior brother, did Master summon you for something important?" Lord Duobao pondered and said, "Master asked me to showcase the excellence of the Outer Disciples, but I am yet to grasp the true intention behind his words." Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal replied with joy, "Senior brother, this is good news!" "Where lies the good in this?" With a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, Long-Eared Ding Guangxian joyfully said, "It must be that recently, the Law Enforcement Team and Bai Jin have been too overbearing. The Master wants to discipline them a bit. By letting Senior Brother showcase the excellence of our Outer Disciples, we are in fact slapping the face of the Law Enforcement Team, providing a good excuse to discipline them." Lord Duobao smiled, but internally he did not take it seriously. If the Master wished to punish someone, would it be so troublesome? With the Saint’s will, why need any excuse? However, the current Lord Duobao was no longer the same as when he had been on Kunlun Mountain; he had grown more scheming, not showing joy or anger on his face, and said, "Then, what do you think we should do to display this?" Long-Eared Ding Guangxian immediately said with anticipation, "In my opinion, how about we hold a grand gathering among fellow disciples? Freely flowing wine, ample food, all fellow disciples gathered to dance and sing unceasingly, displaying the unity and brotherhood of Jie Sect." Lord Duobao slightly shook his head and said, "Inappropriate! Our Jie Sect is a great sect of Saints; how could we behave so frivolously?" Unable to hold back, Long-Eared Ding Guangxian rebutted, "Senior Brother, since when is great joy not part of the Tao?" Lord Duobao smiled and said, "You make a valid point, but I’m afraid it may give Bai Jin a pretext to make trouble, we can’t afford to give him the slightest opportunity." Long-Eared Ding Guangxian nodded in agreement and said, "Senior Brother makes sense. The last time I had a few extra drinks with several junior sisters, the Law Enforcement Team was relentless and incredibly annoying. Senior Brother, do you have any good ideas?" Lord Duobao looked into the distance, his face showing a slight smile, and said, "Displaying the excellence of Outer Disciples is one aspect, invariably it comes down to discussing both martial prowess and virtue. I plan to hold a Martial Fight meet, where laws are debated through martial arts." Long-Eared Ding Guangxian reminded him, "Senior Brother, using martial arts to resolve legal debates is indeed excellent, but how should virtue be shown? If it’s only about displaying martial strength, I’m afraid it won’t meet the Master’s expectations." "Stopping at the right moment, being modest and orderly, helping each other during the competition, could that be considered virtue?" Long-Eared Ding Guangxian was startled, then immediately understood his senior brother’s intention, and, making a bow with hands clasped, joyfully said, "Senior Brother is wise, I am convinced and bow in respect!" Lord Duobao smiled and said, "Long-Ears Junior Brother, I’ll leave this matter for you to handle." Standing up, Long-Eared Ding Guangxian exclaimed, "Senior Brother, just watch! I will surely leave Bai Jin without a word to say." With that, he turned and walked outside. ... After returning from Golden Turtle Island, Bai Jin’s days were extremely leisurely, greeting flowers, bird-fighting, fishing, card-playing every day; after all, it was impossible for him to cultivate anymore. Having reached the Daluo Realm, cultivation had little effect, relying mainly on enlightenment; a flash of Spirit Light was better than a thousand years of strenuous cultivation, which is why Bai Jin did whatever pleased him most. ... On the periphery of Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin was sitting cross-legged on a green stone, holding a fishing rod, gazing at the calm sea surface, while not far away, Shi Ji and Gu Liang had started a fire, grilling fish, with the aroma wafting through the air. Zhao Gongming flew down from the sky and, with a bow, said, "Greetings to Senior Brother, and Senior Sister!" Shi Ji and Gu Liang stood up, returned the greeting with a bow. Bai Jin lifted his fishing rod, and a small yellow fish the size of his finger was pulled from the vast sea, thrashing wildly. Bai Jin took the little yellow fish off the hook, threw it back into the sea, and with a smile said, "Junior Brother Gongming, what brings you here?" Zhao Gongming stood up solemnly and said, "Senior Brother, the eldest senior brother is going to hold some sort of Martial Fight meet." Bai Jin put his fishing rod down and said, "Tell me more in detail!" "Just now, Golden Light Immortal messaged us, saying the eldest senior brother has notified them that he will hold a Martial Fight meet to debate laws through martial arts; I don’t know the specifics." Bai Jin muttered to himself, "What is the eldest senior brother up to?" and asked, "When will it be?" "In three years!" The news of the Martial Arts Meet quickly spread within Jie Sect, and three years were just the blink of an eye for the Immortal Gods, barely three days before the heavens and earth would change. ... Three years later, on a day above the East Sea with cloudless skies and calm waves, a huge platform towered over the sea, surrounded by densely packed more than ten thousand Jie Sect disciples talking amongst themselves, the noisy chatter forming a cacophony.
