The East Sea has undergone a dramatic change, and the several disciples of Jade Pure Pavilion are still waiting anxiously. They have been waiting for an hour.
The Immortal of the Southern Pole suddenly changed his expression dramatically, his eyes filled with disbelief. What is this? He was startled to find that the master-disciple relationship between them had been severed.
For the Immortals of the Explanation Cult, who often bind children, the master-disciple relationship is far more important than the father-son or mother-son relationship. The master-disciple relationship cannot be broken and will never be broken. As long as one is alive, they are from the Explanation Cult, and once they die, they become ghosts of the Explanation Cult. Only one possibility can make it break -
The teacher-student relationship is not merely a bond of blood but also a promise of protection and guidance. It transcends ordinary familial ties, embodying the respect and trust inherent in a master-disciple relationship. In this context, Master Baihe, serving as both a disciple and the foremost disciple of the Explanation Cult, bears the responsibility of safeguarding their teacher's wellbeing, even in the absence of their physical presence. This bond is not one that can be severed at will; it is a sacred connection that demands unwavering loyalty and unyielding duty.
He said not a word and hurriedly left the Jade Pure Palace. Whatever it takes, he must save Baihe. This is the face of the Jade Pure Palace, and it is also a matter of face for the Immortal of the South Pole.
Nezha, puzzled, asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Deng ChanYu, touching her fingers to make calculations, said with a sigh, "Alas, what a shame. He was quite a lively young man. We still had some spiritual ties with him."
In reality, she didn't calculate anything. The magical aura of the East Sea completely blocked her ability to see through the future. Her abilities were not yet strong enough to break through the layers of seals, and she only felt a sudden enlightenment, realizing that she had dodged a huge bullet. She had been saved from a great danger, for the thunder laid by the Lord of Destiny and Shen Gong Po was much stronger than she had expected. It was possible that it had already trapped Baihe, the celestial child, into it. This was why she couldn't help but say with regret.
Shortly thereafter, she obtained firsthand intelligence, which was conveyed by the Phoenix through the "Thousand Miles' Eyes" and "Wind's Ears."
All the officials of the celestial court, including the literati and military personnel, were urgently summoned to the Jingsha Palace for a meeting.
The color drained from Qiuliyanyan's face, and he stumbled out of a kneeling position. But at that moment, no immortal would have cared about such a small mistake.
"My Lord! The Demon King has been reborn! His inferno is engulfing the heavens, and his troops are numerous. His intentions are as difficult to fathom as the flames themselves!"
The Wind's Ear also pricked up his ears and listened intently, then he said, "Your Majesty, it seems to be a very high-ranking Demon King. Above the East Sea, the lives of all beings are in turmoil, with many demon soldiers gathered together, as if they are planning to attack heaven!"
Heavenly Lord's face was as calm as water, as was the case with Mogong Rong before and now, it seems that once a demon becomes transformed, they must attempt to conquer heaven at least once to maintain their dignity.
He did not wish to become the target, but as the sovereign of the three realms, retreat was an absolute impossibility.
He asked in a commanding tone, "My loyal ministers, do any of you have a plan to defeat the demons?"
The Phoenix immediately stepped forward and said, "May it please Your Majesty, the South Gate is the closest to the mortal realm. The Demon King, if he intends to attack the celestial palace, will certainly not take a detour. He would travel through the South Gate, pass by the Send Cloud Palace, the Treasure Radiance Hall, and the Gathert Light Hall. After breaking through three major gates, he can reach Jingsha Palace. My humble recommendation is for Grandpa Penglai to defend the South Gate."
Heavenly Lord: ""
"And still 'bleeding heart' recommendations? Is the struggle between you not hidden at all, right?"
The Heavenly Lord's principle was absolute impartiality, and at this moment, he maintained his usual expression as he looked towards Grandpa Penglai, awaiting his response.
Old Immortal is the corporeal form of the Immortal of the South Pole, and as the name suggests, this individual has little combat ability. Longevity is not the same as the ability to preserve life. A strong ability to preserve life often means that a person is adept at escaping, but longevity essentially refers to expertise in nourishing one's body and preserving health.
Those who specialize in nourishing the body are generally not strong in combat.
Both Sima Yi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were masters of longevity techniques, emphasizing endurance in aging. Old Immortal serves as their spiritual ancestor.
The Old Immortal, who was the first longevity expert in the primordial chaos, leaned on his staff of Jiu, remaining silent. The immortals beside him hurriedly advised, "No, by no means! Lord of Longevity is not skilled in fighting with magic spells. How can he engage in such a brutal battle? I recommend the Venerable Lord Yi Shen Bao De!"
The Phoenix immediately countered, "As the commander of the North Palace, if I lead troops south, how can the Demon King then break through the North Gate and attack the celestial palace? Wouldn't that make you a traitor to the heavens?"
Another immortal, who was on good terms with the Old Immortal, stepped forward and said, "Venerable Lord Yi Shen Bao De can leave troops to defend the North Gate and then come from the South Gate."
"Am I to be given the military power over the South Gate?"
"This"
The Phoenix laughed and said, "Ha ha - I, the General of the North Palace, am only a mere foot soldier when I arrive at your South Gate? You all enjoy endless prosperity and wealth at your South Gate. When the moment comes, you know nothing but to shrink back, only calling... "
I may not be enough as a northern general; why not also call in the troops from the East Gate and the West Gate to protect Grandpa Penglai?
The Heavenly Generals under her command, as well as the other surrounding Heavenly Generals, also burst into laughter.
The Jingsha Palace and the mansions of many important court officials are all located near the South Gate. Not to mention the effect of a vacuum cleaner, the prosperity here is indeed number one among the four gates.
All are Heavenly Generals, and the Heavenly Generals at the South Gate are already quite wealthy compared to those at the other three gates. Now, as they watch the "nobles" trying to bring in troops from elsewhere to defend the South Gate, the other Heavenly Generals naturally feel dissatisfied.
Heavenly Lord has remained silent throughout.
His true intention was also to have the Old Immortal guard the South Gate. This matter was caused by your Explanation Cult, so you should take the lead, not let me bear the brunt at the front?
The Old Immortal has perfectly mastered the "turtle" philosophy. No matter what you say or think, I will not go! If you have the ability, then order me directly from the sage!
The Old Immortal wants to act like a turtle, and the Phoenix must guard the North Gate, Taiwei Jingxing as the Western Inspection Officer must guard the Western Gate, and Eastern Palace also requires strong generals to defend. After thinking for a moment, Heavenly Lord could not find any volunteers and had to name the candidate himself: Zhu Bajie!
Zhu Bajie also lives near the South Gate. His various friends who enjoy drinking and eating are all here. It is only fitting for him to guard the gate.
"Subordinate will comply." Zhu Bajie, looking unhappy, accepted the task that was bound to be difficult.
The Phoenix and Taiwei Jingxing both smiled at their old friend, showing encouragement. We don't want to do this either, but the tasks of guarding our side are equally heavy. What if the Demon King decides to attack from a different direction, such as the north or the west? At that time, you would have gained a lot, and we all have bright futures ahead!
The BiYou Palace.
Above the East Sea, the demonic aura is overwhelming, and many immortals from the Jie sect are fleeing here, seeking refuge under the protection of a major sect.
Crowding together, there are more than a thousand immortals gathered here, and the number is constantly increasing.
Wuyun Xian, the leader among the seven immortals who accompanied them, loudly rebuked them, finally suppressing the panic among these Jie sect disciples.
He hurried into the hall and, seeing the Golden Holy Mother, he asked eagerly, "Auntie, what did Big Master say? Has Sister Gui ling really met with an accident?"
His original form is an alligator fish, and Guiling's original form is the Chinese river turtle. There are some natural affinity between them, not to mention that they are not of the same gender. They don't have any romantic feelings towards each other, but their relationship is much better than that of lions or elephants. Wuyun Xian cares very much about Guiling Holy Mother.
The Golden Holy Mother shook her head: "Big Master is in seclusion. I haven't seen him either, but it seems that Sister Guiling has indeed perished."
They have countless eons of fellowships, and now suddenly one of their own has perished, which deeply saddens the Golden Holy Mother.
