Chapter 177

It seems I must plant more spiritual roots before Heaven and Earth ascend to a small thousand-world, so that the Taixuan Cave Heaven can gain more spiritual roots.

No one dislikes having too many good things, and Zhang Taixuan was no exception.

Moreover, he greatly enjoyed culinary pleasures.

He went to one side, cleared a patch of ground, and planted the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree in this world was not the one from the Primordial Chaos; its trunk was not tall, only a little over one meter high, bearing a tiny human-shaped fruit that had not yet matured.

As soon as the Ginseng Fruit Tree touched the ground, roots immediately sprouted, greedily absorbing the primordial spiritual energy of the earth; within moments, the tree began to sway vigorously, giving off a sense of great joy.

"Come here."

He waved his hand, and two butterfly spirits flew over.

"Father God."

"Carefully guard this immortal tree; do not let anyone harm it."

"Understood, Father God."

The two little butterflies took it very seriously, summoning a group of butterfly spirits to take turns keeping watch.

"Are you two comfortable here?" After planting the Ginseng Fruit, Zhang Taixuan strolled around like a loafer, gestured toward Zhou Zhiruo, then found Lei Dianzhen and Hu Zhaigong.

Lei Dianzhen's appearance closely resembled Lei Yingying's, but without the tear mole at the corner of her eye; her aura was gentler, warm and kind like a neighborly older sister.

"Thank you, Dao Jun, for your concern. We are very happy here; those little spirits are adorable."

"Good," Zhang Taixuan nodded. "I've granted Yingying permission to cross over; she can come anytime to keep you company."

"Mm," Lei Dianzhen nodded. "Recently, Yingying has come a few times, but seeing you were still in seclusion, she returned."

"What about Hu Zhaigong?"

"I'm very comfortable here. With nothing to do, I spend every day drinking tea and chatting with Zhen—it's wonderful."

Well, this one has also learned to slack off.

That's only natural.

The Taixuan Cave Heaven has retreated into the void, detached from the world.

Staying within it truly makes one forget worries.

Just as they spoke, the chat group vibrated.

"Xiao Die, take good care of our guests; I have other matters."

"See you two later."

"See you."

After Zhang Taixuan left.

Lei Dianzhen smiled gently: "Yingying, come out already. You've experienced everything—why are you still so shy?"

As she spoke, a figure stepped out from inside the house—it was none other than Lei Yingying.

"Sister, you're teasing me too!"

"Since you've chosen a husband, you can't be so childish anymore. Taixuan Jun is so outstanding; losing him would be a great pity."

Lei Yingying was speechless: "Sister, I need to return and govern Inazuma."

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "The Yitian world is fully conquered; the Taixuan Dao State now adds another realm."

Huang Rong: "【Praise】 When Brother Taixuan emerges from seclusion, I'll give him a surprise."

Yotsuya Miko: "Will there now be a Taixuan Dao State in every world of the multiverse?"

Su Xiao: "Why not? Some things left unattended always weigh on the heart."

Ye Hei: "In chaotic times, it's worth managing, but in the modern world, it's unnecessary—wastes time..."

Zhang Sanfeng: "You all truly possess benevolent hearts."

Su Xiao: "【Shy】 I'm not that good! By the way, what strategy should we use to govern a state?"

Ying Zheng: "After great chaos, rule through non-action."

Su Xiao: "Non-action? Do nothing at all?!"

Ying Zheng #2: "How does non-action mean doing nothing?!"

Lin Fengjiao: "Non-action doesn't mean doing nothing. It means not interfering excessively, not acting recklessly, following Heaven's course, and allowing the people to rest and recover."

Su Xiao: "【Shy】 I see."

Xiong Ba: "So does this mean we have to delegate power?"

Yue Buqun: "If we don't delegate, how can anyone manage all the future states? Su Miss and the others must also cultivate—they can't handle everything themselves."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Indeed, cultivation is more important. How can we let power and worldly affairs hinder our practice? Even you, Master Xiong, don't you value immortality more than the Tianxia Association?"

Xiong Ba: "That's true. The Tianxia Association is my life's work, but it's still an external thing—how can it compare to one's own life?"

Amane Yuna: "Bad news! Major disaster!!"

Miyamizu Miko: "? Did your mom force you into a blind date?"

Amane Yuna: "No, what's that got to do with it?! I accidentally broke through to the Five Elements Realm, and my ability went out of control—now, all of Sakura Country has been under torrential rain for seven days."

Amane Yuna: "If this continues, the whole world will be destroyed. I feel my ability draws water vapor from the cosmos and turns it into rain. If this keeps up, Earth will be submerged in 4.8 meters of water."

Miyamizu Miko: "【Shivering】"

Lin Fengjiao: "This is indeed a serious matter."

Su Xiao: "Who knew you were an anti-Japanese hero, Amane—you've nearly drowned your own country."

Amane Yuna: "【Tears welling up】 It's not just Sakura Country now—everywhere is at risk of flooding! Think of a solution quickly!"

Su Xiao: "Hmm, I could let you stay here for a day or half a day, but it won't solve the problem."

Lei Yingying: "I can take you too. But you can't stay long—if it keeps raining nonstop, Inazuma can't handle it."

Xiong Ba: "Mine is about the same."

Lin Fengjiao: "After a day or half a day, will Young Lady Tianye still return to her own world? Sigh, this doesn't solve the problem at all."

Su Xiao: "A minor issue—of course we must turn to our omnipotent Grandmaster Taixuan for help! @Zhang Taixuan, come quick and save your wife!"
