The saint on that side has an abundance of primordial spiritual treasures that are so numerous they have nowhere to store them. The two saints in the West have fewer primordial spiritual treasures, but that is relative.
Also among the peerless beings of the same era, there are many attendant spiritual treasures.
Taiyi has the Chaos Bell, DiJun has the Yellow River Map and Luoshu.
Zhanyuanzi possesses the Earth Book and the Ginseng Tree.
Menghe possesses the Twelve-Grade Business Fire Lotus, the YuanTu and Abi swords, and the XuanYuan controlling water flag.
Even the least noticeable Deng Long has the Luminous Coffin Lamp and the Measure of the Sky.
He Kūn Péng has nothing!
The only thing he has that's somewhat impressive is the current Xian Shi Palace. Due to the research of the demon writing, divine merit was bestowed upon him, and he used this merit to "renovate" his palace. Now, the Xian Shi Palace is considered an artificial divine merit treasure.
Such a miserable state is truly a tragedy.
Now that the disciples of the saints have all risen, this old peerless being seems to be hiding in the far north waiting for death.
"Thump, thump, thump." The sound of footsteps echoed in the vast Xian Shi Palace.
A young man with a handsome face, appearing to be in his twenties, wearing a fine brocade robe, walked in.
The young man bowed his head to the statue in the center of the palace, effortlessly switching between its forms of Kūn and Péng.
"Disciple Hong Jin, meets the elder."
The cold voice of the demon master Kūn Péng echoed from the statue: "Have you remembered all my orders?"
Hong Jin nodded vigorously, "Disciple Hong Jin will go to the East Sea upon leaving the palace to seek an opportunity to join the Jie Teaching. After that, I will take office in the Yin Dynasty, and finally, I will follow the trend and submit to Xi Qi."
Kūn Péng was very satisfied, "I used to hold the He Tu Luo Shu for many years. In the past, I once calculated a fortune for your lineage. According to the time, it should be on you. Your marriage is invaluable, and if there is a day when an immortal official truly becomes yours."
Hong Jin's face lit up with excitement: "Disciple Hong Jin must ask the Emperor of Heaven for a command, please the elder to appear and be the master of all gods. If I violate this oath, I will be killed by all gods."
Kūn Péng was very pleased: "Good, go ahead."
"Disciple farewell."
Hong Jin left the North Sea and came to the East Sea.
He originally planned to find a disciple of the Jie Teaching, someone with a similar level of cultivation, and directly become their apprentice, obtaining the identity of a Jie Teaching disciple, and then act conveniently from there.
However, he circumnavigated the East Sea twice and failed to find a disciple of the Jie Teaching.
Where did they go?
"Young man, are you here seeking the ways of immortality and enlightenment?" The nine-tailed fox spirit sat by the spring in front of her cave, batting her eyes coquettishly at him.
Due to the urgent request from the Supreme Taoist, Tongtian Zongmu, Yun Zhong had been delayed in handling matters in Zhonggong. He rushed to the Pixiu Palace, leaving the nine-tailed fox spirit in her own cave at Penglai and entrusting her to his own senior brother Yuan. He planned to return and deal with her properly later.
Thoughts were quite sound, however, "one flaw in a hundred precautions," perhaps over worrying himself with too many affairs, or simply his own celibacy. This led to a small oversight.
In addition to the fox spirit in the cave, there was also another person, that is, Yin Hong.
The act of a son inheriting his father's concubine, even in feudal society, was not uncommon.
Yin Hong was fourteen years old. Faced with the nine-tailed fox spirit, he couldn't control his desires. One thing led to another, and before long, they had become intimate.
Occasionally indulging in such relations was fine, but in reality, the fox spirit really didn't look down on Yin Hong as a mere mortal. She could only be said to be playing around. That's when Hong Jin appeared.
Hong Jin was handsome and dashing, and he even had a mount named Jinglong, which was given to him by the Supreme Taoist Kūn Péng. In fact, it was a whale-like creature with some dragon blood.
Jinglong was quite cool. The nine-tailed fox spirit liked it on the spot and hurriedly inquired about Hong Jin's background.
Hong Jin looked older than he actually was and wasn't very worldly. He didn't have as much cunning as Yin Hong, who was just fourteen and a half. Facing the beauty's inquiry, he told her everything about his background.
"Even a celestial being is a disciple of the demon master!?" The nine-tailed fox spirit's eyes lit up at once.
With Yun Zhong, she was afraid that she would be killed by him one day. Fire Goddess truly said that she would protect her, but this promise was not secure. If Yun Zhong killed her, Fire Goddess would not say anything.
The nine-tailed fox spirit now had a "disease" called "fearing the disciples of the saints," and at this moment, she desperately hoped to seize control of her own destiny.
Demon master Kūn Péng gave her a new option.
"Let the celestial being know, the Shangqing Sage has issued a summoning order to all Jie Teaching disciples, and has called them back to the Pixiu Palace for teaching. No matter which Jie Teaching immortal the celestial being is looking for now, they will not be found."
Hong Jin suddenly felt that things were a bit difficult to handle.
If he were to go to the Pixiu Palace and declare publicly that he wanted to become a disciple, with thousands of immortals looking on, it would be quite embarrassing.
The Supreme Taoist Kūn Péng's plan is good, but it would be difficult to deceive the Saint.
The nine-tailed fox spirit, with a look of hesitation, said, "Why don't you and I wait here together?"
Within just a few days, Hong Jin also became intimate with her.
Hong Jin was still thinking about the celestial marriage in heaven, but he didn't refuse the beauty in front of him.
With the mediation of the nine-tailed fox spirit, Hong Jin and Yin Hong became kindred spirits.
Your name is Yin Hong, and mine is Hong Jin. This is fate!
Yin Hong was a man who loved both the kingdom and beautiful women. In Hong Jin's eyes, he was a capable person who needed to be recruited.
The nine-tailed fox spirit didn't care at all. The point of being together was to have fun, to play!
"Hong brother, why don't you take me and the Little Fox Spirit away with you? We'll go back to the Great Yin Dynasty. As long as I become the ruler of the whole world, I will make you my prime minister." Yin Hong couldn't wait any longer.
Hong Jin was calculating in his mind.
He thought about what his own master had said about him joining the Jie Teaching. Had he really joined? He had come here once, seen no immortals, but could that be considered as joining?
He had to join the Yin Dynasty's camp. Now, Yin Hong was the prince of the Yin Dynasty. That could be considered as completing the mission.
A romantic encounter outside the door? Haha, let's see.
The few things that the Grandmaster Kūn Péng had said have all come true. Although they were a bit off, they weren't too far off.
Divination often just involves a rough estimate. The Grandmaster Kūn Péng had said that he had been in charge of the He Tu Luo Shu for many years before the Yuan Dynasty. As long as it was close, he considered it an achievement.
"My lord, without the aid of troops, it would be difficult for us to seize power. It would be better to seek refuge under a powerful vassal and borrow troops to return to Zhonggong?"
"My grandfather is the Eastern Marquis, Jiang Huanchu."
"Not good, not good. When I arrived in the East Sea, I found that the troops of the Eastern Marquis have already been withdrawn to Donglu in accordance with the command of Zhonggong. It may be that they will not obey your command there. It would be better to go and seek refuge under Western Marquis."
"Western Marquis Ji Chang?" Yin Hong furrowed his brow and thought for a moment.
He grew up in Zhonggong, and in fact, he had little impression of his paternal grandfather, Eastern Marquis Jiang Huanchu. He only knew there was such a person. How tall, fat or thin this person was, he didn't know.
Ji Chang was too famous. He was a wise man of the times, and even Yin Hong knew his reputation.
"Mm, okay, let's go and seek refuge under the Western Marquis!"
Action speaks louder than words.
Yin Hong and the nine-tailed fox spirit boarded Hong Jin's Jinglong whale, leaving Penglai Island in secret to head towards the city of Xiqi.
