Chapter 303: Chapter 264, Jiang Ziya Governs Xi Qi_2 Chi You cautiously glanced at Bai Jin, feeling suddenly that his teacher seemed slightly displeased. After a moment, Bai Jin landed in a forest. Inside the forest, Ping Xin was watching a group of Iron-eating Beasts play. Two young Iron-eating Beasts were adorably sitting at Ping Xin’s feet, munching on young bamboo. Bai Jin immediately stepped forward to bow with hands clasped, smiling as he said, "Disciple pays his respects to the Goddess. I have come to give my greetings and wish you auspiciousness and everything as you desire!" Ping Xin waved her hand and said with a smile, "Bai Jin, come and see the Iron-eating Beasts I’m raising. Aren’t they adorable?" Bai Jin stood up and walked over, earnestly saying, "In your disciple’s eyes, the most beautiful and adorable things in the world cannot compare to even a fraction of your grace, Goddess." Ping Xin burst into laughter and said, "You sure have a sweet mouth." "Goddess, this is truly what your disciple feels, Heaven and Earth can bear witness!" Ping Xin, still smiling, said, "Even Heaven and Earth cannot discern the truth of your words." Bai Jin looked around, leaped up onto a tree, but in a blink, two floral vines dropped down, between them hung a woven long plank, a brand-new swing. Bai Jin jumped down from the tree, bent over and extended his hand as he smiled and said, "Goddess, this is a swing diligently crafted by your disciple for you, unmatched in all of the Three Realms. Please, take a seat." Ping Xin smiled faintly and walked towards the swing, lightly sitting on it. Bai Jin stood behind, gently pushing the swing, letting Ping Xin sway in the breeze. Two little Iron-eating Beasts hurried over, curiously watching the swing sway back and forth and pranced to catch Ping Xin’s fair feet. Ping Xin said with a smile, "With the Witch Clan stepping back from the main role in Heaven and Earth, without all the fighting and killing, life is indeed more comfortable now." "That’s because the Goddess is here. Without the Goddess’s deterrence over the multitude of sacred beings in the Primordial World, even if hiding in the Underworld, the Witch Clan couldn’t escape others’ plots." Ping Xin nodded and said thoughtfully, "Indeed! The Primordial World is perilous, and the Immortal Gods and Demons are unpredictable, flourishing in the morning yet declining by evening. You are currently in the midst of Calamity, you should also be more cautious." "Goddess, this is precisely why your disciple has come, to ask for your help with the Calamity!" "If I took action, the Calamity would evolve even further." "Disciple wouldn’t dare to trouble the Goddess to take action, just hoping that the Goddess could grant your disciple two uses of the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate." Ping Xin nodded and said, "Very well! But be careful with your actions, do not let the Calamity spiral out of control." "Thank you, Goddess! Your disciple understands," Bai Jin joyfully responded. ... The next day, the residents of Chentang Pass were still cleaning up the bodies of the Demon Beasts. Nezha walked alone to the Lotus Garden, sitting on the wall, munching on fruits, looking down at two Long Spears stuck in the ground. His expression was somewhat vacant, as if he saw a young man standing next to the Long Spears, and also as if he felt him beside him, stealing his fruit. Suddenly, Nezha’s hand was empty, his body shivered, and he quickly turned his head to look beside him, only to see a gray-clad young man swinging his leg, nibbling on a fruit. Nezha exclaimed, "Proud Sky!" The young man lifted the fruit in his hand, chuckling, "Nezha, I’m back." Excitement in his eyes, Nezha grabbed Proud Sky’s hand. His Cultivation had already restored, and he could clearly feel the tremendous power contained within Proud Sky. Suddenly, his face turned stern as he demanded, "You’re not Proud Sky, who are you?" Proud Sky glanced at Nezha, said irritably, "Can’t even recognize me? Piss three feet against the wind." Nezha reflexively said, "Poo a heap downwind." His face immediately turned odd, as this was the secret code agreed upon between him and Proud Sky, not even his own parents knew it. How could he know? Nezha said incredulously, "Are you really Proud Sky?" Proud Sky took a bite of the fruit and said, "Genuine and sincere." Nezha suddenly asked, "What’s the thing you’re most proud of?" Proud Sky said proudly, "Beating you up for two months." Nezha hugged Ao Bing tightly and laughed loudly, "Proud Sky, is it really you? You’re still alive, that’s wonderful!" Proud Sky pushed Nezha away and said proudly, "Take another look, who am I?" Horns grew on his head, sparkling scales appeared behind his ears, and his face transformed to reveal his true form. Nezha exclaimed, "It’s you, Ao Bing!" Ao Bing said smugly, "Didn’t expect that, did you?" Nezha immediately flipped over and shouted fiercely, "You’ve been deceiving me for two months, playing me? Come on~ let’s have another big battle." "Not afraid of you!" Ao Bing also got up at once. Both of them jumped down from the wall, seized a Long Spear embedded below, and started fighting with a bang, bang, bang. Both tacitly did not use their Mana, and their figures intertwined and flipped below, fiercely battling until the grass and dust flew around. ... Time slowly passed, and Jiang Ziya opened a Copper Coin store in Chao Ge. Due to poor management, it ended in loss. Later, he set up a divination stall, which turned out to be very popular, discovered the true form of the Pipa Spirit during a divination, and used the Jade Seal to restrain the Pipa Spirit. He wanted to burn the Pipa Spirit, but it angered King Zhou, forcing him and his wife to flee in a hurry towards Xi Qi. Afterward, outside Xiqi City, King Wen appointed Jiang Ziya as Prime Minister. King Zhou neglected state affairs, giving Fei Zhong You Hun unchecked power in the court, plunging Great Shang into a situation where corrupt officials led the regime, with loyal officials like Huang Feihu and Bi Gan being persecuted. After Jiang Ziya took office in Xi Qi, its development rapidly accelerated. During his tenure, Jiang Ziya scouted for rare treasures around the area. Wherever there were powerful forces with Magic Treasures, he launched attacks under the guise of justice, ultimately conquering the surrounding 800 vassals, and even Chong Heihu, the most powerful, could not withstand Xi Qi’s military might. Shortly after defeating Chong Heihu, King Wen also passed away, old and weary, and Xi Qi was draped in mourning. While Xi Qi was immersed in the grief of losing King Wen, Jiang Ziya quietly hid inside the grand hall, with a translucent Altar floating in front of him, his eyes vaguely excited, ready for another sacrifice. Jiang Ziya placed a Turtle Shell and eight Copper Coins on the Altar, respectfully saying, "Disciple Jiang Ziya offers a sacrifice to the Postnatal Eight Diagram Divination Supreme Treasure, seeking the pity of the Demon God." Hum~ The Altar trembled slightly, Earth Fire and Wind evolved Chaos Qi, enveloping the entire Altar. In a daze, Jiang Ziya saw a giant skeletal hand emerge from the Chaos, swiftly grabbing the Turtle Shell and Copper Coins and retracting back into the Chaos. Jiang Ziya’s eyes brightened, feeling a thrill in his heart; a Demon God had responded. A pair of oily green eyes glowed within the Chaos, emitting a thick ominous aura, staring at Jiang Ziya. Outside, Ji Fa came inquiring, "Second Father, where is Second Father?" Mrs. Ma hurriedly came out to greet and bowed, saying, "My respects to Your Majesty!" Ji Fa quickly bowed and replied, "Greetings to the Madam! May I know where Second Father is?" Mrs. Ma said sorrowfully, "Since King Wen Your Majesty passed away, Ziya has been heartbroken, locked himself in his room all day, and has not come out." Ji Fa also expressed his sadness, "My father’s passing has left me deeply saddened, but Xi Qi still needs Second Father to take charge. Second Father cannot remain engulfed in sorrow like this!" Mrs. Ma reassured, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will persuade him." "Ah~" Ji Fa sighed, looking towards the room and said, "The bond between Second Father and my father is truly enviable! Having such a close friend, my father must have been greatly comforted." Creak~ The door opened, and Jiang Ziya walked out from the room, his eyes slightly red and his expression sad. Ji Fa immediately greeted him, "Second Father!" "Your Majesty, why are you here?" Jiang Ziya asked weakly. Ji Fa advised, "Second Father, my father has been buried, and now Xi Qi still needs you to take charge. Please do not be too sorrowful." "Ah~" Jiang Ziya sighed and asked, "Has Your Majesty come for a specific matter?" Ji Fa said, "There are mainly two things I wanted to consult Second Father about." "Please speak directly, Your Majesty." "My father had a divination Turtle Shell and eight Copper Coins, capable of divining all under Heaven. Now this Divine Artifact is not among my father’s belongings; does Second Father know of their whereabouts?"
