Chapter 317: Chapter 276, Eldest Uncle Inquires "Master, you know, your Disciple is most loyal to you," Bai Jin immediately declared his loyalty. Tongtian lifted his hand and then set it down, sighing, "Duobao and the others avoid the Calamity at all costs, but your master never thought you would actively seek it out for my sake, really... ah~" shaking his head. Bai Jin spoke earnestly, "You are my revered Master. Although I am simple and unsophisticated, not adept at strategizing, I have a heart full of loyalty towards you, Master. That is why I took the risk to act, even if I were to fall into the depths of Calamity, I would have no regrets." A gentle light flashed in Tongtian’s eyes, and he reached out to pat Bai Jin’s head, smiling kindly, "Nonsense! With me here, how could I let you fall?" Bai Jin grinned and hesitated before asking, "Master, do you think our Jie Sect will be completely destroyed, or that the Masters would personally take action against us disciples?" Tongtian’s eyebrows rose as he declared, "How dare they! I will make them cry." Bai Jin opened his mouth and in the end, didn’t say anything. The Masters really did dare, and the one likely to be made to cry might be you, but that couldn’t be openly said; to continue would mean sowing discord among The Three Pure Ones. Tongtian waved his hand and said, "Bai Jin, you go first! I have my own plans for the Sealing God Calamity." "Yes, Disciple takes his leave." Bai Jin stood up and walked outside, his figure quickly disappearing from the hall. Tongtian shook his head and chuckled, "A heart so sincere, yet acts too impulsively, must be properly guided in the future." Leaving Golden Turtle Island, Bai Jin walked on the sea surface, lost in thought. Who should be next? His figure suddenly flashed and disappeared instantly. ... On the Primordial Shouyang Mountain, the mountain ranges stretched endlessly, towering and magnificent. Suddenly a ripple appeared in the space above the mountains, and Bai Jin emerged from the ripple, turning his head to look around and exclaimed in surprise, "Shouyang Mountain?!" Realizing in his heart, it must have been the Eldest Uncle who summoned him; he immediately flew towards Shouyang Mountain, landing on the main peak and entering the Eight Sceneries Palace. Inside Eight Sceneries Palace, Taishang sat in the main seat, eyes slightly closed, composed. Respectfully Bai Jin saluted, "Disciple Bai Jin pays his respects to the Eldest Uncle." Taishang opened his eyes and nodded slightly, his aged voice carrying through, "Rise." Bai Jin got up and sat cross-legged on the cushion, asking curiously, "Eldest Uncle suddenly summoned your Disciple, may I ask if there is a matter?" Taishang smiled and declared, "Golden Peng defeated the forces of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect quite impressively! Much stronger than Xuandu." Bai Jin hastily said with trepidation, "It’s all because I failed to discipline him strictly, allowing him to sneak out of the Jie Sect and cause great chaos, ending up suppressed, I am filled with fear!" Taishang chuckled, "In the end, the one to suppress Golden Peng was the Mountains and Rivers Map, wasn’t it?" Bai Jin expressed surprise, "It was the Mountains and Rivers Map? Did Nuwa intervene?" he asked anxiously, "What should we do? Will Nuwa come to settle the score with me?" Extending his finger, Taishang pointed at Bai Jin and laughed, "Don’t try to shirk responsibility, do you think your tricks can deceive me?" Bai Jin gave an awkward smile and honestly said, "Master sees clearly, discerning the finest details." Taishang asked slowly, "Bai Jin, what do you want to do?" Bai Jin responded firmly, "To relieve the Eldest Uncle of worries and troubles! Eldest Uncle, as you know, your Disciple is most loyal to you." Taishang smiled and said, "Oh! How do you propose to rid me of my troubles and resolve my difficulties?" Bai Jin said with emotion, "Master feels bitterness in his heart, and I am aware of it." "The conflict between the Way of Tao of my Master and that of Second Master began with the Sealing God Tribulation; no, to be accurate, since the time they attained Tao. The division of The Three Pure Ones, brothers taking different paths, was the greatest tragedy in the Primordial World! Ever since then, the friendly feelings between my Master and Second Master have solely relied on the mediation of Eldest Uncle, harmonizing Yin Yang with each other. Without Eldest Uncle’s presence, Master and Second Master would have been as incompatible as water and fire. Now that the Sealing God Tribulation has started, with Chan Sect and Jie Sect caught in a great battle within the tribulation, neither victory nor defeat is what Master would wish to see. A slight mishap could lead to fratricidal contention and a complete severance of bonds between The Three Pure Ones. Master, you stand between my Master and Second Master, what agony that must be! I can empathize deeply and only wish to do what little I can to assist Eldest Uncle." While speaking, Bai Jin lifted his sleeve and wiped the moisture from his eyes. "Alas~!" Taishang sighed deeply, and said with feeling, "Indeed, you, Bai Jin, understand me best!" He then spoke with a hint of frustration, "If only they were as worry-free as you, I would be content. But why did you have Golden Peng enter the tribulation, and what does it have to do with Chan Sect and Jie Sect?" Bai Jin immediately explained, "Consider this, Eldest Uncle! Now that the calamity has begun, it cannot end without completing the Circulation Sealing God, and it may even escalate, potentially spoiling the affection between Master and Second Master. I sent Golden Peng to the Sealing God Battlefield to set an example for the Jie Sect Disciples, to encourage them to step forth from Jie Sect and take part in the Sealing God Battle, so that we may resolve this Great Tribulation sooner." Taishang frowned slightly, and spoke helplessly, "Your intention is good, but your strategy is rather rough-hewn. Once your Master becomes aware of it, you will have a hard time in the future." Bai Jin looked up with a righteous expression and said, "After I become a disciple, Eldest Uncle has always been kindest to me, and I am forever grateful. If Master has any problems, it is only right for me as a disciple to undertake the task. Although I am naive and unskilled in scheming, I possess a heart of loyalty to you, Eldest Uncle, and will exert the meager strength I have." Taishang nodded with satisfaction and said, "It’s rare for someone to have such dedication. However, once you intervene in the Sealing God Tribulation, it means you are within the tribulation, and without resolving cause and effect, it will be hard to free yourself." Bai Jin bowed deeply, movingly saying, "To serve Eldest Uncle, even if I sink into the calamity, I harbor no regrets." Taishang, stroking his beard, said with a gentle smile, "Nonsense! With me here, why would I let you sink?" Bai Jin gratefully responded, "Thank you, Eldest Uncle!" After the laughter, Taishang said, "After the tribulation, if your Master troubles you, come to Shouyang Mountain to find me, and Eldest Uncle will stand up for you." Bai Jin expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Eldest Uncle, for your care." Taishang smiled and said, "Go back! In the future, study the ways of strategy more closely, and do not be rash again. Your planning is too crude." Bai Jin nodded with an embarrassed smile, "Yes! Master has seen me make a fool of myself." "Why would I laugh at you for your sincerity?" "Eldest Uncle, I have one more favor to ask, and I hope for your graciousness." "Speak freely!" "Master, could you lend me your Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Tower?" "You just need to go to Xuandu." "Yes, thank you, Master." Bai Jin bowed respectfully. Taishang nodded slightly, watching Bai Jin leave the great hall, and murmured, "Having a disciple like Bai Jin is Tongtian’s fortune. Regrettably, it is difficult for Jie Sect to persist."
