Chapter 151: Taiyin Jade Dew, Let

~8 min read 1,511 words

Prior to this, after a great battle, Taiyin Xing lay in disarray, with fallen petals scattered in profusion.

Several people returned to this place.

"Hehe, I never expected that we originally came just to ask for some fine wine."

"But we ended up encountering such trouble."

"Fortunately, Daoist Chen Ku possesses extraordinary strength, overwhelming and unmatched, which allowed us to break through."

Hong Yun couldn't help but sigh, his expression complex.

He has always advocated doing good to others; evidently, this incident also deeply moved him.

Xihe and Changxi nodded solemnly.

"Not bad!"

"If it weren't for Daoist Chen Ku, my sister and I would likely face eternal ruin this time."

"Xihe and Changxi thank you, Daoist friend!"

Xihe and Changxi bowed, their faces full of gratitude and respect.

Just thinking back to how she once trusted Yue Lao so much, nearly falling into his path, even now it still leaves the two women with lingering fear.

"You two goddesses need not stand on ceremony!"

Chen Ku merely responded indifferently, not taking it to heart.

Now, for him, dealing with beings like Yue Lao or Han Chan is nothing at all.

"Since Daoist Chen Ku came for our fine wine,"

"Older sister, let's go fetch the Osmanthus Immortal Brew now."

Changxi has recovered, her complexion flushed, even more beautiful and lovely than before.

As she spoke, she gazed at Chen Ku, her eyes exuding a captivating charm that defied description.

Xihe did not object.

"Mm, that's exactly how it should be!"

"Please wait a moment, Daoist friend; we also have several jars of Taiyin Jade Dew to present to you as well."

Saying this, Xihe and Changxi gracefully departed, heading to the place where the wine was buried.

Chen Ku felt somewhat doubtful.

Taiyin Jade Dew?!

What is that?!

According to Hong Yun, Xihe and Changxi weren't supposed to have only the Osmanthus Immortal Brew, were they?

He turned his head to look at the former, only to find Hong Yun also bewildered, evidently having never heard of it either.

Not long after, Xihe and Changxi returned.

With a gesture of her jade hand, nine jars of wine instantly appeared.

On the wine jars lay the power of a sealing law and order, yet it could not stop waves of profound and mysterious, divinely unfathomable qi from emanating.

Merely sniffing it made Chen Ku and Hong Yun's breathing quicken, their mouths watering, giving them an indescribably wondrous and exhilarating sensation.

"Is this the Taiyin Jade Dew?"

Chen Ku's expression shifted greatly as he muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Xihe lightly laughed and nodded.

"Not bad!"

"This Taiyin Jade Dew is made by drawing the primordial power of the Taiyin Dao, condensing it into Taiyin Divine Marrow, then brewing it."

"Afterward, it was buried on Taiyin Xing for myriad years, yielding only these nine jars in total."

"Hehe, back then my sister and I learned this trick from Yue Lao, using it to brew such top-tier immortal liquor."

By the end of her words, Xihe's tone carried a hint of self-mockery and loss, as if she regretted her former naivety.

But hearing her account, Chen Ku's heart was shaken even more.

Wine brewed from the primordial power of Taiyin?!

Moreover, it takes a full ten thousand years to obtain these nine jars altogether.

How precious is this?!

One could say it is no less than a supreme innate spiritual root of the world.

Xihe and Changxi's favor toward Chen Ku need not be elaborated; compared to before, it has increased countlessfold.

"Mmm... Daoist Chen Ku, you truly have a blessing this time."

Hong Yun secretly marveled.

He also knew that Xihe and Changxi brought out such treasures out of respect for Chen Ku's face.

Not only that.

After the Taiyin Jade Dew, Xihe's robes fluttered gracefully.

Then, a pile as large as a small mountain of Osmanthus Immortal Brew also appeared in full.

"Hiss......"

Hong Yun once again drew in a cool breath.

The two goddesses' handiwork is truly astonishing.

Even Chen Ku felt somewhat taken aback.

"This... the two goddesses must have taken out all their treasures, right?"

"How could we possibly deserve this?!"

Chen Ku couldn't help but let out a wry laugh.

But facing him, Xi He's expression turned grave as she gave a slight nod.

Not bad!

These fine wines, left here on Taiyin Xing, are of no use anymore.

Facing Chen Ku's puzzled gaze, Xi He's eyes dimmed, and she continued to explain:

Yue Lao has schemed against my sister and me, and there is also the karma of the Demon Race upon us.

Now, Taiyin Xing has become a place of right and wrong.

Therefore, my sister and I have decided to leave far away and seek another place to dwell.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku and Hong Yun suddenly understood.

Such a decision is, after all, quite reasonable.

After all, only with Chen Ku's help could they break free and remain unharmed.

But in the future, if the Demon Race's Di Jun, Taiyi, and others cause trouble again, how will Xi He and Chang'e respond?!

In short, it's just fleeing this place.

Such a blessed land, abandoning it is somewhat regrettable.

But where do the two goddesses wish to go?

Chen Ku continued to ask.

This time, Xi He gazed deeply in the direction of the Honghuang world.

We two intend to go to West Kunlun to seek refuge with Daoist friend the Queen Mother of the West.

She is the foremost female immortal, but she has long been in seclusion; I do not know... whether she will accept us two.

Although Xi He has cultivated on Taiyin Xing for many years, she also knows quite a bit about everything in the Honghuang world.

She also knows that the Queen Mother of the West has a tranquil disposition and does not like to be dragged into external disputes.

Thus, whether the so-called foremost female immortal will accept their refuge remains uncertain.

Regarding this, Chen Ku also furrowed his brows slightly.

But shortly after, he thought of something and then said:

Hehe, why not go to the Western realms instead of seeking refuge with the Queen Mother of the West?

Among these realms, is there any place safer and more tranquil than the West?

Chen Ku's words were quite natural.

Upon hearing this, Xi He and Chang'e's eyes lit up.

Not bad!

The Western realms are indeed sufficiently peaceful and tranquil.

Even Di Jun and Taiyi might not be able to reach that far.

Moreover, Chen Ku is originally a disciple of the West; being with him would also make Xi He and Chang'e feel more at ease.

Chang'e's expression was elated; she could hardly restrain herself from directly agreeing.

But Xi He, standing nearby, showed a conflicted expression.

Daoist friend, your words are indeed not bad!

But......

She had something to say but held back.

Meanwhile, Hong Yun, having seen through Xi He's thoughts, came up beside Chen Ku and whispered:

Daoist friend Chen Ku, worldly rumors say the West is barren and desolate!

If one enters the Western territories, cultivation will be hindered everywhere, making progress difficult.

Hong Yun was blunt and outspoken.

He knew that Xi He refrained from speaking outright out of consideration for Chen Ku's presence.

Although the two women's favor toward Chen Ku greatly increased, they also did not want to ruin their own cultivation path because of it.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku laughed, as if he had expected it.

He felt no guilt, speaking confidently and righteously:

Hehe, those worldly rumors are things of the past.

Nowadays, the West has long since changed beyond recognition, all things renewed.

You may all go and have a look; if it does not meet your expectations, you can still head to West Kunlun later—it will not be too late.

I, too, will naturally not obstruct you.

Chen Ku knew that Hong Yun, Xi He, Chang'e, and the others' understanding of the West remained stuck in the past.

And now, it is a perfect opportunity for them to witness what the present West looks like.

As soon as these words were spoken, Hong Yun and the other three were instantly filled with doubt.

Do the Western realms truly have such astonishing changes as Chen Ku described?

If someone else said this, several of them might have just scoffed.

However, after a moment's contemplation, Xi He and Chang'e still decided to trust Chen Ku.

Good!

If that is the case, we will follow Daoist friend to the West to have a look.

Xi He ultimately agreed.

Anyway, Taiyin Xing is no longer habitable; going to the West for a trip does not really delay anything.

Hong Yun naturally would follow as well; he was just idly wandering the realms, even daring to watch the Demon Race's great battle.

By this point, Chen Ku showed a smile.

He said no more; a thought stirred, and the Gate of Myriad Wonders opened.

Several people stepped into it in a single stride, heading for Mount Sumeru.
