Chapter 183 The Shock of Yuanshi Tianzun
As Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, he looked at Jiang Hao, a look of amazement in his eyes:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, your aura seems to be that of the fourth generation, but the refinement of your Daoist charm and the grandeur of your aura make me feel immense pressure. Fellow Daoist's strength is truly unfathomable."
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw Jiang Hao, he was very shocked. What happened? When did such a powerful person appear in this world?
Lingbao laughed upon hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Jiang's path is different from ours. I was quite surprised to see him when I returned."
Jiang Hao shook his head: "You two are too kind. It was just a coincidence. It is best that Fellow Daoist Yuanshi has returned."
This is not a place for lingering conversation. Fellow Daoist, you have just returned and must be quite unfamiliar with the current state of the world. If you do not mind, may we move to my humble abode for a more detailed discussion?
The Primordial Celestial Venerable readily agreed: "That is indeed my wish. Just now, when I awoke, I vaguely sensed a vast and boundless place where supreme fortune was gathering. This must be your Daoist temple, fellow Daoist. It's a good opportunity to go and broaden my horizons."
"Please." Jiang Hao stepped aside.
"Please, fellow Daoist," said Yuanshi Tianzun.
The three exchanged a smile, their figures blurring as they vanished from the chaotic void.
The three returned to Heaven.
After passing through the thirty-three heavens and witnessing the majestic celestial palace and the orderly operation of all the heavens, the Primordial Celestial Venerable remained silent for a moment.
He lived a long life and witnessed countless grand events.
But the scene before him still shook him to his core.
"What a magnificent Heavenly Court," Yuanshi Tianzun remarked after a moment of silence.
"You rule over all the heavens, manage all the myriad paths, and bring blessings to all living beings. Your ambition and ability are truly admirable."
He had established the Mythical Heavenly Court with Dao Zun, but compared to Jiang Hao's Heavenly Court, the Mythical Heavenly Court was far inferior.
This left Yuanshi Tianzun deeply impressed; these later generations were terrifying indeed!
Especially after learning about Jiang Hao's deeds and glorious achievements from Lingbao Tianzun, he was even more amazed.
"Absolutely breathtaking," said the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"Establishing such an order, ruling over all the heavens and myriad realms, and sorting out the Great Dao, what you have done is far greater than our Heavenly Court in the mythical era. Even Dao Zun and I did not achieve this back then. You are even more incredible to me than Dao Zun."
Jiang Hao was not complacent; he was very humble.
Yuanshi Tianzun gave Jiang Hao a deep look, said nothing more, but the praise and admiration in his eyes were genuine.
The three of them entered the back garden.
Upon entering the garden, Yuanshi Tianzun paused slightly.
His gaze swept over the Immortal Pool, and his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
The pool was filled with spiritual energy, and several immortal herbs of different shapes stretched out.
The laurel branches sway gently, scattering dappled, cool silver light; the hibiscus tree exhales warm, golden-red glow.
An old herb shaped like a human figure sways gently along with its roots, looking rather endearing.
A small, silvery-white herb resembling a tiger cub let out a low growl, which produced a subtle metallic clang.
On the edge of the pond, an egg, bathed in soft, ethereal light, floats quietly. The natural patterns on its shell flow, emanating a hazy and intimate wave of spiritual energy.
The most eye-catching feature is the magnificent seven-colored fairy cloud in the center of the garden.
Amidst the shimmering light, the silhouette of a seated infant could be vaguely discerned, and seven distinct yet perfectly blended immortal golden Daoist auras flickered like breaths.
It emitted clear and melodious Daoist sounds, its spiritual power so strong that one could feel its vibrant vitality and potential from a great distance.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable's gaze lingered on the seven-colored celestial glow for a long time, a clear look of surprise appearing on his face.
He had lived a long life and possessed extensive knowledge, yet he spoke with some uncertainty:
"This...this is a Holy Spirit Embryo, naturally formed by the fusion of seven kinds of immortal metal essences? Such a heaven-defying object actually exists in this world?"
He turned to look at Jiang Hao, somewhat incredulous.
Such a wondrous object is unprecedented in history and has exceeded ordinary understanding.
Lingbao Tianzun also smiled and exclaimed, "It is indeed amazing. When I first saw this thing, I was also stunned for a moment."
Jiang Hao was not surprised by the reaction of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, because the Seven-Colored Immortal Golden Holy Spirit was indeed extremely rare, and at least this world had never heard of it before.
"What a miracle!"
Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath, accepted the fact, and then his gaze was drawn to the fairy egg by the pond.
This time, he gazed for a longer time, his eyes becoming extremely complex, a mixture of memories and emotions.
He naturally recognized this thing.
"I never imagined this egg would end up in your hands, fellow Daoist," Yuanshi Tianzun remarked.
"The Daoist Master brought this egg back from the depths of the Path to Immortality and placed it in Kunlun for research. Unfortunately, the egg was born with defects, and the Daoist Master tried many methods to nurture it. I never expected that you, fellow Daoist, would bring it back to life. It's truly remarkable!"
Jiang Hao laughed and said, "It was just a coincidence."
I was lucky to get two Immortal Pools; otherwise, it would have been very difficult.
Many years later, Yuanshi Tianzun was overjoyed to see the familiar fairy egg here, and it had even improved. It felt like meeting an old friend in good health.
He then looked around the entire back garden, at the elixir of immortality, the fairy egg, and the holy spirit embryo in the pond, and then at the rare plants and trees around him that were also nourished with spiritual energy.
He shook his head and smiled.
"Fellow Daoist, this place is truly amazing."
"Those who know say it's the back garden of the Heavenly Court, while those who don't think it's the source of creation when the world was first created. Any one of these little guys could shake the heavens."
"When they grow up, the scene will be unimaginable."
Lingbao Tianzun nodded in agreement. "Fellow Daoist Jiang's ability to gather these things is indeed first-rate."
Lingbao Tianzun felt that Jiang Hao was not only strong and had high comprehension, but also had exceptionally good luck, often finding all sorts of magical things.
The longer I spend with Jiang Hao, the more I realize this.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao smiled. Whether it was a collection or an opportunity, since they were here, they had a responsibility.
Jiang Hao walked to the edge of the Immortal Pool and sat down on a smooth blue stone:
"It's just that we're providing them with a safe place to rest since they're all homeless and adrift. The path to enlightenment is long and arduous, and how far they can go in the future depends on their individual fate and destiny."
Yuanshi Tianzun knew that Jiang Hao was being modest. Wasn't Jiang Hao's actions also accumulating unimaginable resources for this world?
This fellow Daoist Jiang truly embodies the saying, "With great power comes great responsibility."
As Jiang Hao spoke, he brewed tea for the two Celestial Venerables, saying, "Come, come, have some tea."
Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun did not stand on ceremony, and sat down to drink the tea.
"It feels so nostalgic, the taste is just like before." Yuanshi Tianzun took a sip of the Enlightenment Tea and sighed.
The Enlightenment Tea was something that Yuanshi Tianzun (the Primordial Celestial Venerable) naturally drank during the mythological era.
Now, the drink reminded him of the days when he was revered by all the heavens and the days when he studied Taoist arts with the Taoist master.
I never expected that when I woke up again, millions of years had passed.
The world has changed, and everything has changed beyond recognition.
The three began to talk about old stories from the mythological era, and about the changes and ups and downs of the universe during their respective years of slumber or activity.
We will explore the current state of all the heavens and myriad realms, and exchange our different insights and reflections on the path ahead of the Great Dao.
It had been a long time since he had sat down and discussed the Dao with a fellow Daoist. A long-lost sense of comfort welled up in the heart of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
His tone was calm and his words were composed, as if he were chatting with an old friend he had known for many years.
Three beings, each having reached different pinnacles, gathered in this tranquil corner of the Heavenly Court by chance.
This is a once-in-a-millennium event.
