Chapter 295: Chapter 258, The Heavenly Emperor Goes Fishing Jiang Ziya slowly extended his hand, a Round Pearl emerging in the palm. As he rubbed the pearl in his hand, his eyes brimmed with deep reluctance. This was his only Spiritual Pearl, a gift from his master. Unlike the Investiture of the Gods and God Beating Whip, this truly belonged to himself. But now, for the sake of his future, he had to take a gamble. If the God and Demon Altar was as miraculous as he knew, then the Great Way was within reach! Jiang Ziya placed the Spiritual Pearl on top of the Altar, and respectfully made a bow, saying, "Disciple willingly offers this Spiritual Pearl as an offering to the Chaos Demon God." Hum~ From atop the Altar, Earth Fire, water, and wind morphed into Chaos. A golden hand stretched out from the Chaos, seized the Spiritual Pearl, and retracted. Then, a pair of majestic and indifferent eyes appeared above the Altar, watching Jiang Ziya, and a hazy, ethereal voice echoed in Jiang Ziya’s mind: "What doth Zi desire?" Jiang Ziya’s body trembled. The voice was so authoritative that it made one want to kneel in worship, and a surge of ecstatic joy arose in his heart. Suppressing the urge to kneel, Jiang Ziya once again bowed deeply, excitedly saying, "Disciple wishes to seek the Immortal Dao!" Ambiguous light shone down from the Altar, enveloping Jiang Ziya. Within the light, the scant Mana within Jiang Ziya’s body increased exponentially, Refining God and Reversing Void, Refining Void and Harmonization. Hum~ Jiang Ziya’s eyes emitted a faint iridescence, radiating a fresh scent from within, with his white hair shimmering, his demeanor spirited, for he was now at the lowest tier of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Jiang Ziya clenched his fist, emotionally murmuring to himself, "Immortal Dao! This is the Immortal Dao!" His gaze fixed fervently on the Altar. This God and Demon Altar truly possessed unparalleled might. Even the Primordial Saint, his master, had said that he had no hope of becoming an Immortal. However, with such ease, the God and Demon Altar had helped him achieve the Immortal Dao. Could it mean that the power of this Altar surpasses even that of the Saint?! Clenching his fists tightly, Jiang Ziya trembled with excitement. Creation! This was a magnificent stroke of Creation! I shall offer sacrifices to the heavens to fulfill my path toward the Great Way. Now that the Immortal Dao is achieved, even becoming a Saint is not beyond hope for me. One day, I shall command respect from all. The authoritative eyes atop the God and Demon Altar closed, and an elusive voice reverberated in Jiang Ziya’s mind: "Heavenly Dao eternally abides, all things have their destined order. Jiang, born lowly, climbing to Qingyun is difficult, yet blessed by the winged horse, ascends to the Nine Heavens." The Chaos Qi atop the Altar morphed into Earth Fire, water, and wind, sinking back into the Altar, which then sat tranquilly in the void. Jiang Ziya murmured to himself: "Jiang, born lowly, climbing to Qingyun is difficult, yet blessed by the winged horse, ascends to the Nine Heavens." The meaning of this phrase wasn’t difficult to grasp—saying that I, Jiang Ziya, am destined to fall into the mortal realm and find it hard to achieve the Immortal Dao, only with the fortune of the winged horse can I soar to the heavens. Jiang Ziya’s eyes grew brighter, excitedly saying, "Could it be that my wife is my noble benefactor? Yes, that must be it. If not for my wife sending me to sell goods, how could I have been fortunate enough to encounter such a Supreme Treasure as the God and Demon Altar?" No, if my wife is truly my noble benefactor, I must treat her well. I absolutely cannot let her leave. Immediately, Jiang Ziya packed away the God and Demon Altar and turned to walk outside. With a creak, the door opened, In the courtyard, Ma, with a smile, said, "My husband, you’ve come out. Come quickly, the meal is ready." Jiang Ziya felt a sense of relief. Look at how virtuous my wife is. Jiang Ziya, oh Jiang Ziya, your wife must be your noble benefactor. From now on, you have to rein in your bad temper. He nodded and smiled, saying, "Okay!" After a satisfying meal of food and drink, Ma, with an apologetic tone, said, "My husband, it’s all my fault. I know you possess Great Power, and are above such petty trade. I shall not press you to do so anymore." Jiang Ziya looked at the apologetic Ma and gently said, "I was also at fault. In the future, I will need my wife to bear with me." Ma, with a tender smile, said, "My husband speaks nonsense. From now on, I hope my husband will do whatever he wishes and refrain from doing what he doesn’t want to do." Jiang Ziya instinctively said, "Why don’t I prepare some small items to sell! Everything for two Copper Coins, anything for two Copper Coins." Ma, approvingly said, "My husband, what a great idea, I’ve always known you are a capable person." ... Above Chao Ge, Bai Jin toyed with a Round Pearl in his hand, a high-quality Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the World Pearl, which contained an entire Medium Thousand Worlds; a single strike could unleash the force of a whole world, quite extraordinary indeed. Contentedly stowing away the Spiritual Pearl, Bai Jin chuckled as he looked down at the courtyard below, "Work hard, junior brother Ziya~" Bai Jin turned around and headed for Heavenly Court. Outside the Heavenly Gate stood two rows of Heavenly Soldiers on guard, the Heavenly Gate itself empty save for passing clouds, exuding an air of solemn emptiness. Bai Jin’s figure appeared before the Heavenly Gate, and the rows of Heavenly Soldiers hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to Daoist Lord!" Bai Jin smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, making his way towards the interior of the Heavenly Court. Given Bai Jin’s current relationship with the Heavenly Court, he could move unobstructed throughout, free to go anywhere he wished. Of course, as a civilized, sincere, and simple new-era cultivator, Bai Jin usually wouldn’t barge in recklessly. While walking through Heavenly Court, Gold Star Taibai approached from the opposite direction, bowing with a smile and said, "Taibai greets Daoist Lord." Bai Jin returned the bow and asked, "Where is Master Uncle?" "Your Majesty is in Zining Palace, please follow me, Daoist Lord." Following Gold Star Taibai, Bai Jin walked towards the interior, and after a short while, they arrived at a grand hall. The glaring signboard above read "Zining Palace" in bold letters. Gold Star Taibai stopped outside the great hall, gesturing with his hand respectfully and said, "Please, Daoist Lord~" "Thank you for your trouble, Star Lord." Bai Jin walked into Zining Palace, and all the servants he encountered reverently bowed and stepped aside. In the backyard of Zining Palace was a well ten yards across, its water calm, wafting with the aura of immortality. The Master of the Three Realms, Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian, was lounging leisurely by the well, fishing with a Purple Bamboo rod in the well. As Bai Jin came in, he called out with a laugh, "Little Master Uncle!" The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian turned his head to look at Bai Jin and said with a smile, "You’ve arrived! Come sit." Bai Jin went over and sat down on a chair next to the Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian, looking at the vast well mouth and said, "Fishing in a well, Little Master Uncle is in high spirits." The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian smiled faintly and said, "An Evil Dragon was born in the Endless Swamp, cultivating for a million years to achieve Taiyi, stirring floods that turned thousands of miles of mountains and lands into swamps, turning all living creatures into blood food." "Cultivating only mana, neglecting the cultivation of merit, their reign won’t last long." "Indeed!" Suddenly, in the well, a shiny fishing float abruptly sunk. The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian’s eyes brightened, and he immediately swung the rod up. The Purple Gold Fishing Pole instantly bent into an arc, the fishing line buzzing as it stirred up whirlpools and ripples on the water’s surface. The Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian laughed out loud, "Got it! Up you go~" With a fierce jerk of the Purple Gold Fishing Pole, a massive shadow surged out from the well mouth. "Roar~" The Black Dragon, fished out from the well, immediately rushed towards the outside of Zining Palace in panic.
