Chapter 61: The Assembly of Bai Yujing

What if there's another coincidence—that we're killed by Luohou beneath the Four Swords of Zhuxian?

Yang Mei asked a core question.

"That’s a good question."

Hong Jun raised an eyebrow, glancing at Yang Mei: "But don’t ask that next time."

Yang Mei chuckled: "After all, we’re Luo Xian—everything’s possible."

"Dying’s no big deal—just start over."

"You want to die?"

Hong Jun’s expressionless face pulled out the Pangu Banner, its power to shatter chaos already building.

"Come on, as a fellow Daoist, I’ll send you off for free."

"You old Daoist!" Yang Mei was startled when Hong Jun pulled out the Pangu Banner without warning.

"Keep that thing far away from me!"

"Seriously, why take a joke so seriously?"

Yang Mei glared at Hong Jun.

Hong Jun smiled: "See? You don’t really want to die."

"I don’t want to die again beneath the blade of Pangu’s axe," Yang Mei snorted.

The Pangu Banner was forged from the blade of Pangu’s axe, possessing the power to cleave heaven and earth, govern all laws, shatter spacetime, and erase cause and effect.

Even a Luo Xian Supreme, if killed by this thing, wouldn’t simply restart.

You’d need a full account wipe—start from scratch.

Though you’d surely return to the ranks of Luo Xian eventually, it’s better not to die like this.

After all, if you had a Daoist as “kind” as Hong Jun, he’d inevitably “by chance” pick you up.

Then, before you returned, he’d “thoughtfully” keep you close, making you ring bells and strike chimes for him.

Knowing Hong Jun as he did, Yang Mei was certain the man would do exactly that.

The thought of having to bow low before an old friend, endure humiliation after an accidental death,

made Yang Mei decide it was better to just stay dead.

"Actually, being alive is quite nice."

Yang Mei dropped the talk of death and turned to other questions.

"How are you arranging the upcoming assembly?"

"How else? I’ll just summon all the Daoists from Bai Yujing."

In an instant, Hong Jun moved Mount Bai Yujing into the chaos.

"Above lies the White Jade Capital, twelve towers, five cities."

"This time, some new Daoists will join—the towers and cities in the mountain are nearly all claimed."

"If they’re all taken, we’ll build more. More Daoists mean our plans can expand."

Yang Mei grinned: "Which deities did you invite this time? Didn’t forget your young friend Fengdu from the Underworld, did you?"

"Of course I invited him—he’ll probably come take a look."

"That’s good."

Hong Jun and Yang Mei walked side by side into the First City.

The city was pure white as jade, stretching nine thousand li in circumference.

Every brick, every pattern within it was woven from infinite laws.

Unnameable Dao and principles intertwined upon the earth, forming spacetime nodes, dazzling and radiant.

Each of these spacetime nodes connected to a unique timeline.

Without exaggeration, every step Hong Jun took corresponded to a brilliant star, a great Qian World, a dimensional universe.

The universe can be contained within a mustard seed.

All heavens converge within one city.

As the two entered, countless lights blazed across the city.

Figures of light emerged from every alley and street.

"The immortals from all heavens and worlds have arrived."

Yang Mei smiled and bowed toward the front: "Lords of Immortality, go about your business."

"Thank you, Immortal Friend!" The figures of light bowed back to Yang Mei and Hong Jun.

Then they went about their own affairs.

Some set up stalls, some opened shops, others exchanged pleasantries.

Kunxu Realm's kun meat—premium ingredient, on sale! Don't miss it!

This was the Roasting Immortal.

"Line up, follow me closely—this is the Bai Yujing headquarters, every brick here is an immortal’s. Now I’ll take you to the Second City."

This was the Tour Guide Immortal.

"Divine weapons and sharp blades—wholesale, wholesale! Bulk discounts!"

This was the Armory Immortal.

"Fortune-telling with absolute accuracy! Who among the Daoists wants a divination?"

This was the Yin-Yang Immortal.

"Yin-Yang Daoist, weren’t you fishing? Why are you running here?"

Hong Jun spotted the Yin-Yang Daoist with his long banner, glancing at the cloth draped over his table.

Was that the Taiji Diagram?

"Oh? Are the two of you here to support my business?"

The Yin-Yang Daoist had a pale, refined face, exuding the aura of a true immortal.

Upon seeing Hong Jun and Yang Mei, he immediately greeted them warmly.

"I heard you took a loss this time?"

Yang Mei grinned and stepped up to the stall.

"You know about that?" The Yin-Yang Daoist was surprised.

Then, as if realizing something, he scrutinized Yang Mei, then turned his gaze to Hong Jun.

"Pangu’s great-grandfather!"

The Yin-Yang Daoist suddenly cried out to the heavens, "Unfair! How did these two troublemakers become Luo Xian first?!"

Yang Mei added: "Luohou became one too."

"We just fought him—he acquired another great weapon."

"What? He became Luo Xian too?"

Hearing this, the Yin-Yang Daoist sank into deeper despair, grinding his teeth.

"Pangu, the Great God, has gone blind!"

"I spent years raising fish, fishing—only to have my whole setup smashed."

"All the Dao bodies I nurtured drowned in my pond."

"Where do I go to plead my case?!"

The Roasting Immortal beside him, hearing this, was deeply startled and turned his gaze: "Who smashed your place?"

"Right next door—that Armory Immortal!" The Yin-Yang Daoist pointed furiously.

Everyone turned to look.

The Armory Immortal seemed to sense it.

He smiled faintly at the crowd, revealing white teeth.

"Are you calling me?"

Hong Jun studied the Xuanqing who appeared here, astonished: "Fellow Daoist, you’ve adapted quickly!"

"I didn’t even notice you at first!"

Yang Mei also marveled: "I didn’t expect Fengdu Daoist to adapt so swiftly on his first visit to Bai Yujing."

"I thought you’d be lost for a while."

"What’s there to be lost about?"

Xuanqing looked around, listening to the cries of the immortals nearby.

He felt even more awed than Hong Jun and the others:

"If I’d known Bai Yujing was like this, I’d have come long ago."
