Genres:Sci-Fi and Supernatural Last update:25/03/24 18:09:56
    Deng Chanyu felt that the problem wasn't serious, and Nuwa actually agreed with her. The big-eyed celestials need to worry about finding jobs in the future, but you, a primary school student, don't need to worry about it. Just learn your multiplication table first!

    Understanding the intention of Nuwa, she temporarily put aside her cultivation of the Eight-Nine Primordial Skills, Five-Color Divine Light, and the third-stage Celestial Sunfire of the Feng clan, and focused on enhancing the strength of her three souls and seven spirits, striving to break through to the celestial Immortal realm.

    According to the teachings of the Xuanmen, this stage is about cultivating the three souls and refining the seven spirits.

    Common immortals still need to seek various flames to temper their souls and spirits. Phoenix herself has flames, and burning the heavens and boiling the seas are no problem. When she gets tough, she can even burn herself, so burning her soul now is just a small matter.

    Deng Chanyu's true body focused on inner cultivation.

    At the Phoenix's clone's side, the focus remains on strengthening the body, further enhancing vitality and spirit. As for the body, there is no need to worry about it - Phoenix's physical strength is already comparable to a celestial immortal, and her divine awareness is fully up to par. What she lacks is still "qi" or magical power. The found materials are mainly used to improve her magical power.

    Soon after Deng Chanyu returned to Nanjun, Mengpo sent a message saying that Jiazi would be going to the underworld for a while.

    Da Ji, the student, is going to serve as the acting King of Hell!

    This is what Mengpo requested, and there's no way to refuse. There's not much room for argument.

    The Old Ancestor of the Underworld retreated with severe injuries, losing the balance among the forces by nearly reaching the Saint level. Now, things have turned into chaos in the Underworld.

    Initially, it was just a battle between soldiers and generals. But with the news of Poxian seizing the twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus spreading, the immortals from the Xuanmen couldn't sit still anymore.

    If you have a saint behind you and obtain the twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus, everyone's attitude will definitely be "oh yes oh yes." But if you have a nearly Saint behind you, everyone's attitude will become "?????".

    You, Poxian, have no one behind you now. Are you planning to be your own thigh? Why not take it from someone else?

    The Yanlan Daoist of the Chanting School and the Wuyun and Qiu Shou Xians of the She Chinese School have all appeared near the Sea of Blood.

    The twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus has attracted too much attention.

    There are four twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus platforms in the Primordial Chaos.

    The twelve-level Merit Golden Lotus is with the Guanyin Saint.

    The twelve-level Profound World Black Lotus, along with the Magus Luo Hou, has disappeared.

    Next is the twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus, which accompanies the Old Ancestor of the Underworld as his treasure, and the twelve-level Purifying World White Lotus.

    It should be mentioned that there is a poor luck in Nuwa's case for such sets of spiritual treasures. The Purifying World White Lotus emerged the latest, with the entire platform falling into the Three Thousand Weak Waters, leaving its whereabouts unknown. Nuwa only had time to take away the lotus seeds, which were later refined into the Precious Lamp. On one hand, it's far from the time of purification, and the Purifying World White Lotus cannot emerge. On the other hand, it also proves that her luck truly isn't very good.

    No one dares to steal the twelve-level Merit Golden Lotus of the Invited Saint. The Black and White Lotuses have both disappeared, while the Red Lotus has fallen into Poxian's hands and cannot be taken without stealing it. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the opportunity given by Heaven.

    The immortals who are rushing to steal treasures have further intensified the chaos in the Sea of Blood.

    The combativeness of the Ten Halls of the Underworld and various ghost generals and soldiers is too high, and it can only be dealt with by guiding, not by force.

    Dizang stepped forward in time and said that you can go fight, I will take care of the back. If there is any leakage, I will die to apologize!

    Madam Pingxin is willing to delegate some power to the Western Teachings, but she cannot simply hand over the great power of the Underworld to the Western Teachings. Moreover, the Kings of Hell, ghost generals, ghost soldiers, and Shoulao sect are fighting fiercely in the Underworld. It's impossible to spare anyone to handle the paperwork. Furthermore, none of the Wenchu tribes are willing to return.

    It's impossible to ask the Heavenly Emperor for a few days off work due to the fighting in the Underworld.

    In the end, there was no choice but to think of Da Ji

    After sending Da Ji away, within less than half a month, the Deng family packed up their belongings in large bundles and headed north to Shangqiu to attend Deng Xiu and Huang Yan's wedding.

    There are more than thirty people, including Deng Jiugong, Huang Auntie, nephews and nieces. They took a thousand attendants with them and left Nanjun for Shangqiu, heading north to take up the appointment as Grand Marshal and Han Gong in the court, but in reality, they were hostages.

    Deng Chanyu didn't go; she stayed in Nanjun to keep house.

    Ding Ce, who was recruited in Shangqiu, can take care of some internal affairs.

    Deng Chanyu spends most of her time on cultivation, occasionally handling some important government affairs. Less important tasks are delegated to Ding Ce, who is essentially a military general. However, his ability in internal affairs is also passable.

    Additionally, Deng Jiugong and Su Hu have become brothers.

    It's not feasible to directly hand over the affairs of Nanjun to the Su family, but it's acceptable for Deng Chanyu to be in charge and have the Su family father and son assist with some auxiliary work.

    Meanwhile, some collateral branches of the Huang and Chen Tang families in Zhongge also sent people to be officials in Nanjun. With the combined efforts of Deng, Huang, Su, and Li families, some talents for handling government affairs were finally gathered.

    The maid Hong Xiao, a little girl, shouted to Deng Chanyu through the Lulü Two Yiyi Lamp.

    "Lady, lady? There's a very beautiful young woman in red, with an especially good temperament, looking for you."

    "Who?"

    "It seems she's called Ji."

    Is it Long Ji?

    "That's right, it really is Long Ji!"

    "Pestering me to change clothes first before I go and see her."

    Deng Chanyu arrived in the study and saw that Princess Long Ji was bored, preparing to open the folding fan she had placed beside her for a look.

    She quickly ran over and closed the folding fan that had the inscription "Not the person refined in dust".

    "Can't you look at this?" Princess Long Ji raised her chin and, taking advantage of Deng Chanyu's attention on the folding fan, quickly picked up a scroll from the table and unfurled it to examine it closely.

    The scroll depicts a scene of "Lin Daiyu using the chaotic robe staff technique to fight a tiger on Jingyang Ridge," and the words beside the painting are quite interesting.

    She couldn't help but recite it: "There is more than just simulating the form. In an empty place, each one induces feelings of love. Two cherries, like newly sprouted twin buds, admire each other's fragrance of mouth saliva."

    She scratched her head and felt that the words were kind of strange.

    Deng Chanyu grabbed it back and said, "Don't look randomly, all of this is my Big Shop's secret! You came all the way here, what do you want?"

    Princess Long Ji said in a mysterious manner, "I heard that there is a treasure in the Underworld, called the twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus. Let's join hands and snatch this treasure together?"

    Deng Chanyu pointed at her and then at herself, her expression peculiar, her head shaking like a pendulum: "Me and you go to the Underworld? No way, not even if you killed me!"

    It's a joke to go to the Underworld now? What if we run into Tai Ji?

    The Underworld is all about Tai Ji! Deng Chanyu doesn't want to be smacked in the head with a random robe staff technique.

    It's safer to go find Grandpa Hongjun in the chaos with Princess Long Ji than to go to the Underworld.

    Princess Long Ji keeps emphasizing the power of the twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus and pointing out that the two of them are good people, so they should be entitled to get this red lotus.

    Deng Chanyu was also determined in her attitude, absolutely not going. If it were the Five-color Essence, she would be willing to take on some risks. A twelve-level Profession Fire Red Lotus is not worth it!
