During the time when Deng Chanyu took residence in Yuxu Palace, Ta Qing Sheng Ren left the Dao Xuan seriously on Mount Emei.
The newly admitted disciple is named Ren Shou, with the Taoist title Changmei. The Daoist tradition here on Mount Emei is meant to continue the line of human teachings, with the main purpose being to subdue demons and evil spirits.
Concerned about Ren Shou's insufficient strength, Ta Qing Sheng Ren left behind after passing down the martial arts the ancestral treasure of the early realm, the purple and green twin swords, and then rode on the ox, drifting away.
Explain the martial arts? Who are you going to ask? Go study the Taoist texts yourself. Whether you can practice them or not is all up to them. It's like how the Mother of Lishan and Deng Chanyu treat their disciples — there's no such thing as clarifying doubts every seven days. It's your own problem if you wander off course, and to put it more seriously, it's a matter of your fate.
Ta Qing Sheng Ren left Mount Emei completely.
Deng Chanyu, Jiazi, Zhao Gongming, and Pu Xian, who reside on Mount Emei as deities and buddhas, all let out a sigh of relief.
They respect the sage, not the sage's disciples. Since Ta Qing Sheng Ren's own practice ground is still at Ba Jing Temple, and he has only left his disciples here, there is no need for them to live wretchedly at the foot of the mountain. The air at the foot of the mountain is heavy with impurities; it is far inferior to the purity at the summit.
Before, they were afraid to set up their own practice ground above the sage out of respect for Ta Qing Sheng Ren. Now, a mere Changmei is not worth making themselves uncomfortable; you are the disciples of the sage, and we are not?
Changmei, who had just entered the Daoist path, behaved very politely, always greeting everyone upon meeting and bowing respectfully upon departure. Through his actions and words, he expressed to his neighbors the attitude of a newcomer on the Daoist journey.
The others didn't say much either. Out of respect for Ta Qing Sheng Ren, they treated this middle-aged man who had just entered the Daoist path as an equal, and thus accepted him as a member of Mount Emei's community.
Deng Chanyu and the others all summoned their divine powers to relocate their secluded cave to the summit. Bodhisattva Pu Xian expended immense magical energy, causing Mount Emei's Golden Summit to shimmer with brilliance. If there were no clouds, ordinary villagers could see the radiant golden light emanating from the peak even from a distance of over 100 li. The entire Mount Emei area was most magnificent at this location.
Deng Chanyu was waving the phoenix staff, which had been restored to two-thirds of its original condition.
The length of the phoenix staff has been completed with the addition of the short staff that Gu Luo Senior originally held, making it a complete staff.
The top section of the staff was tossed into a strange space by the First Qilin, which passes through the Primordial Chaos Main World once every eighty-one years. This world has been moving irregularly within the spatial dimension. Even though Deng Chanyu has achieved an impressive level in the way of spatial Dao, she cannot locate it precisely. The staff head can only wait, and it will probably automatically arrive in about sixty to seventy years.
Now the staff body is being repaired by Yuanfeng using Nanying Li Fire combined with the partial virtue provided by Deng Chanyu. The two short staffs have been turned into one long staff. She holds it as if it were a Golden Ring Rod and casually waves it twice.
The repaired Phoenix staff is not a divine weapon, nor is it a treasure in the usual sense; it is a magical staff that can greatly enhance the spells she casts. Even with the Chaos Bell in hand, this staff has its uses, for the Chaos Bell is a great weapon that consumes an immense amount of spiritual power when used once.
"Let me listen," Deng Chanyu focused intently, as if treating it like a precious treasure, lying down on Jiazi's belly and listening earnestly.
Jiazi watched her with eager anticipation. She furrowed her brow and, after a long time, exclaimed in surprise, "The little one is quite strong. It seemed like it was kicking me just now!"
Jiazi's eyes were filled with joy, and the natural allure in her eyebrows from days past had faded by three parts. Now, she looked like a child who had just found money.
"Really? Can we really hear the child's voice?"
"That's right. I am using his heart connection, and it's even more than being able to hear it completely. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dian Ting?" Deng Chanyu wanted to say that she could even hear the heart sound of her treasure, let alone the baby in your belly. But she was afraid that the treasure would discover this little secret, so she quickly changed the topic to Dian Ting, the white dog.
The white dog tilted its head to watch them, thinking they were boring. It barked a couple of times at random and then continued to lie down and sleep.
Deng Chanyu and Jiazi didn't pay attention to it, but instead looked like idiots, discussing the child's future obedience, to what name it should be called, and even after laughing a bit, there was a hint of worry.
It may be because the Host Destiny was cut off, and the completion of the Shengshi Grand Calamity. After going through ninety-nine difficulties and eighty-one hardships, finally using the Lightning God Conception Method, successfully let Jiazi pregnant.
During this period, Deng Chanyu didn't practice much, fearing that if her cultivation increased, it would be even harder for her to have children in the future.
The first three months were filled with joy, the next six were filled with excitement, but now these last three months have left them with only confusion.
A year and a half has passed since the East Sea's reconstruction. On the other side, the Eastern Han's Deng Xiu broke through Qi Mountain and surrounded the original city of Xi Qí. Deng Jiugong also rebuilt a city in Luoyi and launched several probing attacks on Ao Jing.
At this moment, Deng Chanyu looked at her wife's belly, which looked no different from usual, flat and thin. Not only was there no sign of pregnancy, but without the heart connection, she couldn't even detect any trace of it.
Referring to the experience of Nezha's mother, who was pregnant for three years, Deng Chanyu felt that her child's origins might not be inferior to Nezha's. Therefore, she believed that the pregnancy would likely be extended.
Jiazi was not angry at all. Her expectations had been lowered to an extreme level. Originally, after so many years of trying and not being able to have a baby, she suddenly said "there's a baby" now, and the excitement she felt was indescribable.
This is the Primordial World, and it's hard to say what the child's future achievements will be. But once there is a child, that is fate, and they will definitely be born.
Despite the absence of the possibility of miscarriage, Jiazi is now the most important person in Taiyuan Cave.
Deng Chanyu's maid Hong Xiao, Jiazi's maid Ping'er, as well as the three of them - Xiao Qingluan and a crowd of Feitie Beasts - all surrounded Jiazi. Deng Chanyu shouted "get me some water" and nobody paid her any attention.
The family status of the pseudo "Zhan Er Shou" Chao Sheng has greatly decreased, and she couldn't say anything. She even had to smile and say, "You did a great job," because she felt that she was unimportant as long as they protected Su Princess.
Worried about Jiazi's safety.
She hasn't gone to the Kunlun Mountain Yuxu Palace during this period. Instead, she has stayed on Mount Emei to practice.
Being the King of Hell is a job that offends people. Who doesn't have relatives and friends? With just a stroke of the pen, they're sent to the animal realm, and can those relatives and friends remember your good deeds? The King of Hell in the Underworld often faces surprise attacks and assassination attempts. In fact, the nature of the matter is very serious, but those officials from the Underworld with a background in witchcraft are thrilled at the thought of war, and they don't consider assassination to be a big deal. On the contrary, they get excited and pick up axes and sledgehammers, which is why things are confined to the Underworld.
Jiazi can't do anything now, Deng Chanyu believes that it's better not to use force if possible. This is not just for the pregnancy, but also for the child that has not yet been born to accumulate good karma. Xiao Qingluan and the others can provide some protection, but Deng Chanyu doesn't think highly of their combat abilities. They all look like children, and they seem dumb and silly. It's still better for me to protect my wife myself!
