Chapter 166: Arriving at the North Sea

As a living being that existed since the primordial chaos, Yao Shi Kunpeng is indeed a very ancient existence.

Among the three thousand red-dust guests of the Zixiao Palace back then, the Two Sages of the West had the ugliest eating manners.

Therefore, Yao Shi Kunpeng greatly doubts whether the Two Sages of the West would be so generous.

"Yao Shi, this time, it is because our master, feeling grateful for what happened with the Holy Mother Nüwa back then, feels guilt toward you and deliberately repays the karma of that year."

"Moreover, this calamity involves the Heavenly Court and the Three Teachings; our master also fears insufficient manpower, so he deliberately cooperated with the Yao Court to jointly divide the last of the fortune."

"So that's how it is!"

Yao Shi Kunpeng's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of contemplation he said: "Good, I will trust the Western Teaching once more; go tell the Two Sages of the West that in the upcoming calamity, our Yao Court will fully cooperate with the Western Teaching."

"In that case, everyone will be happy!"

The White Lotus Child and the Water Fire Child exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of joy in the other's eyes.

"By the way, before we leave, we can also tell Yao Shi a piece of news: the Ling Pearl cultivated by the Jiao Teaching will soon arrive at the Yao Court; when the time comes, you, Yao Shi, may decide what to do."

"Understood, you may go!"

Yao Shi Kunpeng no longer glanced at the two, waved his hand, and in the next moment the White Lotus Child and the Water Fire Child vanished from the spot.

"Go!"

Upon realizing that the two had reappeared above the North Sea, the White Lotus Child and the Water Fire Child hardly hesitated, immediately employing evasion techniques and flying a million li in one breath.

"Senior White Lotus Brother, I want to break the precept against killing!"

Stabilizing their form, only the Water Fire Child spoke.

And while speaking, the Water Fire Child's expression was extremely ferocious, nothing like a compassionate monastic.

"Junior Water Fire Brother, you are fixated on appearances!"

The White Lotus Child glanced at the Water Fire Child and spoke.

However, although the White Lotus Child strove to control themselves, the White Lotus Child's compassionate expression still faintly revealed a trace of a terrifying demonic aspect.

"Senior White Lotus Brother, could it be that our master truly intends to repay the karma of that year, dividing the fortune of the Heavenly Court and the Three Teachings among those beasts?"

The Water Fire Child said fiercely.

Taking a deep breath, only then did the White Lotus Child finally steady their compassionate demeanor, saying: "Junior Water Fire Brother, have you not heard the saying that the best way to repay a debt is to make the creditor disappear? Do you really think those beasts of the Yao Court are qualified to cooperate with our Western Teaching?"

"They, in the end, are merely objects in our Western Teaching's pouch!"

The White Lotus Child said while reaching out and grabbing at nothing, as if trying to grasp something.

……

"Two little brats, they actually dare to scheme against me!"

Yao Shi Kunpeng snorted coldly; regarding the Western Teaching, he naturally did not trust it.

However, Yao Shi Kunpeng knew that this was a sign: their Yao Court had already been targeted by the Western Teaching.

Although he despised the character of the Two Sages of the West, Yao Shi Kunpeng could not help but acknowledge their methods.

Most importantly, the Two Sages of the West were willing to set aside the saint's dignity, and combined with the karma owed by the Heavenly Dao Saint from that year, this also made them the most dangerous existence in this world.

Yao Shi Kunpeng superficially agreed to cooperate with the Western Teaching, but in reality he had no choice.

After all, the Yao Court now can only barely survive.

Having lost the River Chart and Luo Book and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation, they no longer have the qualification to contend with others for this world.

"Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Formation!"

Yao Shi Kunpeng muttered under his breath.

In the next moment, only his pupils were seen with stars revolving; shortly after, a shadow of the sun star appeared in his right eye, while his left eye showed a shadow of the yin star.

"Sun star, since Xi and He fell asleep back then, there has been no movement at all; even I cannot get in touch with Xi and He."

Yao Shi Kunpeng whispered: "However, yin star, Chang Xi, where exactly have you gone?"

……

"We have finally arrived at the North Sea; this place is truly beautiful!"

On the flying litter, Lady Yin leaned against Ao Yifan, gazing at the snow-filled sky, yet could not help but be drawn to the beautiful scenery before her.

Moreover, beside them, all the maidens were also admiring the scenery before them.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten this mission, more like they had come out for a trip.

"Cough cough"

At that moment, the Daoist of Compassionate Crossing gave a light cough and said: "Don't forget our mission; I suggest we still head to the Yao Court as soon as possible."

"I second that; my fire-tip spear is already starving, thirsty, suffering, and intolerable!"

At that moment, Nezha flew over on his wind-fire wheels, with three little dragon girls hanging from his person.

Perhaps due to blood relations, the three little dragon girls, upon seeing this handsome older brother, clung to him all day, letting Nezha fly with them.

After all, among all the children, Nezha has the most vigorous energy.

Although Nezha verbally disdained his second older brother's three junior martial sisters, he did not refuse, and during this time he became a full-time childcare big brother.

"Nezha, I've told you how many times? From now on, you must start learning to cultivate oneself and nurture one's nature!"

At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren also flew over.

"Master, what use is cultivating oneself and nurturing one's nature? Only through combat can I hone my methods!"

Nezha said.

"Cultivating oneself and nurturing one's nature is certainly useful; only in this way can you later succeed me…"

Having said this, Grand Ultimate True Person hastily covered their mouth.

"Phew, I almost blurted out the real purpose."

Grand Ultimate True Person secretly wiped away a sweat.

He naturally understood that if Nezha knew he was tempering his character in order to pass the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals to him, he would surely fly into a rage.

"Master, you just said something about succeeding you—are you hiding something from me?"

Ne Zha looked at Taiyi Zhenren with a doubtful expression.

"How come you're saying that?"

Taiyi Zhenren waved his hand and said, "I just think that in the future you will become the pillar of Chen Tang Pass, revered by all the people, so naturally you should pay attention to your image."

"Is that so?"

Ne Zha said, taking out a bronze mirror from his bosom, looking at himself in the mirror, he began to seriously consider the matter of his image.

But before Ne Zha could think too long, the three little dragon girls on him started pulling his hair.

"Ah, you three little rascals, my mother just fixed my hair bun for me!"

Seeing this, Lady Yin gave a knowing smile, looked at the Cihang Daoist beside her, and said, "Daoist, regarding the mission, there's no need to be overly anxious; we currently don't know much about the situation in the North Sea, so we should first go visit Grand Tutor Wen to learn the specifics of the North Sea situation, which will help with the upcoming mission."

Upon hearing that, the Cihang Daoist furrowed his brows, feeling that Lady Yin made sense.

However, for some reason, being advised in such a lecturing tone by the other party, the Cihang Daoist felt a vague discomfort in his heart.

He always felt as if he were inferior to the other party by a notch.
