"This kind of thing that resembles 'checking household registration' definitely doesn't need to find the Heavenly God."
The beautiful attendant quickly took Deng Chan Yu to Taibai Golden Star, then politely withdrew.
Deng Chan Yu smiled and bowed, "Elder Immortal, I have disturbed you."
Taibai Golden Star was also very polite, "Hoho, your cultivation is becoming deeper and deeper, and the Great Dao is not far away, truly something to be happy about."
They exchanged a few platitudes.
Even without Long Ji's connection, Taibai Golden Star would still lend a hand.
Now that they are connected, it becomes even closer.
"Mountain of Hundred Thousand, Panhuhu? It's really hard to remember. The old man is indeed getting old and confused. Young friend, please follow me." Taibai Golden Star led her to the 70th treasure hall, called Bao Guang Hall, which was empty but filled with various documents.
After searching for a long time, there were no information related to Panhuhu in the human realm, nor in the heavenly court. However, in the more ancient era when the demons ruled the heavenly court and Di Jun and Taifeng jointly governed all four directions, there was a brief record involving Panhuhu.
Deng Chan Yu took the ancient scroll and looked at it closely. It was not in ordinary script but in demon script, which she did not understand. Taibai Golden Star waved his whisker and cast two talismans, and the strange demon script was immediately translated into divine script. It was only at this moment that she could clearly see the content of the scroll, as a series of scenes rapidly swept past before her eyes.
The general meaning is that Di Jun ordered the people of Mountain of Hundred Thousand to submit to him, and the descendants of Panhuhu burst out from the mountains and boldly raised the banner of "Rebellion against Heaven".
Di Jun was already angry at the Wizards because of some misfortune, and now he saw this, what? A group of savages dared to anger themselves? He immediately ordered one of the ten major demon saintesses, Jingong (Dragon Head, Human Body, Bird Claws), to go and fight the Panhuhu people.
According to the records, it was the heavenly court that won, with Jingong's troops "suffering slight losses." Deng Chan Yu is extremely skeptical that this "slight losses" probably means heavy casualties. This is likely because the demons had a large number of troops and generals. Otherwise, they might not have been able to win.
She gave a closer look at the Demon Saint Jingong. The records from Di Ku's side say that Panhuhu is a creature with the body of a dog and the head of a dragon. This Jingong has the head of a dragon and the body of a human. Could there be some connection between them? Maybe it was just a show fight to fool Di Jun, or perhaps this Jingong is just an avatar for some great power?
The ancient scroll shows that the Panhuhu people eventually retreated to a place called "Qianjiatong." It is a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Jingong's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the Wizards were watching closely. Both sides decided to stop fighting and negotiate.
The record ends here, it seems to be the only recorded battle of the Panhuhu people since the creation of the heavens and earth.
The records do not mention why the Panhuhu people chose to "rebel against heaven" at first, nor do they explain why they suddenly disappeared afterward.
Deng Chan Yu could even find many suspicious points in the ancient scroll, much less Taibai Golden Star.
"Young friend, this still needs to be reported to the emperor."
Taibai Golden Star investigated for a whole day and also found the matter to be suspicious.
Hou Tian is the supreme ruler of the heavens, having been appointed by the Dao Ancestor to manage the sky realm. It's now been discovered that there's an entity within the three realms that doesn't fall under his jurisdiction, and it happens to be in a position that affects all three realms. This is indeed very strange.
A being still within the three realms, not yet separated from the five elements, how could it possibly use means to bypass the jurisdiction of the heavenly court? That's a violation of heavenly law and deserves no leniency.
Deng Chan Yu originally wanted to find someone to fight alongside herself against Pang Wang. Therefore, she naturally agrees now.
The two rode clouds to the Ling Xiao Treasured Hall. Following the rules, they first reported their names and titles, then waited for someone to usher them in.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Taibai Golden Star was afraid that Deng Chan Yu would act like a student of the Sage, so he kept soothing her. He had once received several disciples from Jie sect, and they were so casual when entering the Ling Xiao Treasured Hall that they didn't seem to care about any rules. It was like they were in their own home! He couldn't say anything in front of them, but afterward, it made Hou Tian so angry that his face turned black for three days.
Deng Chan Yu was very obedient to the rules and rarely used her background to pressure others. This time, she wanted to bring Hou Tian along to fight with her. She wouldn't even get anxious after waiting for an hour, let alone waiting for a day.
"Old Star King, please be at ease. Deng Chan Yu knows what she is doing."
The two waited outside the Ling Xiao Treasured Hall for a short while. It wasn't long before a majestic, eight-foot tall, and bearded gold armor Demon General walked out of the hall.
"Old Star King, Senior Deity, the emperor has summoned you."
Taibai Golden Star was particularly courteous, "Thank you for your trouble."
Deng Chan Yu nodded in agreement as well.
In addition to his exceptional appearance, this was an ordinary General of Heaven, with human and immortal cultivation. He wasn't particularly powerful.
The golden armor general led them to the side hall of the Ling Xiao Treasured Hall, rolled up the curtain, and gestured for them to enter.
Oh!
Deng Chan Yu had some insight, this must be the one in charge of rolling up the curtain?
You weren't there when Zhu Rong caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace before, were you new?
Hou Tian was still busy reading the documents he had received, pretending to write for a while before putting down his pen and looking at the two of them.
"Greeting your Majesty."
"Respectfully greets the Great Sage."
Hou Tian's face was expressionless, neither happy nor sad. "Stand up, both of you. I don't know what important matter you two have come to discuss."
"Please inform Your Majesty," Taibai Golden Star concisely recounted the events.
Hou Tian's expression contained a hint of confusion, clearly indicating that he too was unaware of this matter.
He waved his right hand, and the ancient bronze mirror Heavenly Mirror appeared in his hand. He focused his eyes and tried to find Panhuhu's figure.
After searching three times, he finally realized the severity of the problem. The Panhuhu King was simply not within the observation range of the Heavenly Mirror.
One possibility is that the Panhuhu King has such a high cultivation that he has achieved the Mixed Yuan Dalu Jinxian enlightenment, which directly obstructs Hou Tian's investigation.
Another possibility is that he used some strange means to evade the observation of the Heavenly Mirror.
Hou Tian believes it's the second possibility, so the question is, how did the Panhuhu King achieve this?
Deng Chan Yu said, "Teacher mentioned that Panhuhu has something called a 'gu' (a type of poison bug). This gu is born from the mutual killing and consumption of five types of poisonous bugs. By combining it with an ancient secret method, the spiritual essence of a cultivator can reside within the gu, taking advantage of it to avoid investigation by the three realms."
Hou Tian stood up, paced for a moment, and said, "This creature is avoiding investigation, with suspicious intentions. He must definitely have something that cannot be revealed to others."
Without saying anything, they first put a cap on it. Disobedience to the management of the heavenly court is a great crime.
Taibai Golden Star and Deng Chan Yu quickly nodded in agreement, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Hou Tian paused for a moment. This matter does fall under the jurisdiction of the heavenly court, but the problem is that he only has a few low-level cultivators under his command. How can they possibly investigate a well-established pseudo-saint? (laughs)
Deng Chan Yu pulls him into the water, he cannot let Deng Chan Yu watch the performance on the shore.
"Are you, my junior disciple, willing to lead a team to investigate Qianjiatong and uncover the truth?"
"Deng Chan Yu is willing to serve the Great Sage."
Hou Tian stroked his beard and nodded, "Alright. Send the girl Dragon Ji along with you. I will also dispatch Julei Shen to lead eight hundred heavenly warriors under your command."
Deng Chan Yu: "As you command."
Leave the Ling Xiao Treasured Hall.
Taibai Golden Star voluntarily took the initiative to volunteer, and he went to inform Julei Shen for her. The 84,000 heavenly warriors of the Shen Gong war hadn't gone online yet. Now she gave her 800 heavenly warriors, which was almost all of their troops. The heavenly court was in a difficult situation, and Hou Tian also had his difficulties.
