Zhunti flew along the corridor, occasionally waving to beckon, sometimes affectionately patting an Outer Disciple, with a consistently gentle smile on his face.
"Carrying the flag must be tiring! You’ve worked hard~"
"You have good qualifications; you must cultivate diligently, do not waste them."
"Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Master."
"Ah, why aren’t your clothes properly worn? Let me fix that for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Master!"
Jie Sect’s Jie Yin drove the Golden Lotus, followed by the Western Sect Disciples, expressionless.
The Western Sect Disciples were already used to it; Uncle Master was always so kind and amiable.
After the Western Sect entered, Nuwa incarnated and came from outer space.
Ping Xin incarnated and came from the Underworld.
The Jade Emperor from the Heavenly Court arrived with Li Changgeng, Barefoot Immortal, and the Queen Mother brought Chang’e and Xuan Nu from the Heavenly Court.
Ming He Sect Master arrived with the powerful fighters of the Asura Clan.
Zhen Yuanzi arrived with the handsome Qingfeng and Ming Yue from the Wuzhuang Temple.
Kunpeng brought the giant beasts of the Sea Clan from the North Sea.
Lu Ya brought the powerful Demon Clan creatures, such as Feilian and Bai Ze.
Powerful beings from the Eastern Dragon Clan, the Western White Tiger Clan, the Southern Vermilion Bird Phoenix Clan, the Northern Black Tortoise Clan, and the Qilin Clan from Qilin Mountain all came one after another.
Suddenly, the East Sea burst into festivity, with many forces naturally not staying cooped up in their own palaces, coming out to socialize and mingle, creating an extraordinarily lively atmosphere.
In the back courtyard of Biyou Palace, many Saints gathered.
Tongtian, his face glowing red, laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, my fellow brothers and sisters, for coming and making our Jie Sect shine!"
Zhunti, with a smile, said, "Becoming a Saint and invincible in the world, it’s rare to have such interesting events, naturally, I couldn’t miss it. Brother, the disciples you’ve nurtured are indeed very impressive."
Tongtian laughed heartily and said, "Junior brother, you flatter them too much, they still have a long way to go!"
Ping Xin looked at Nuwa with a smile and teasingly said, "I heard that Senior Sister was grounded by our teacher, did you come here in defiance of Master’s orders?"
Nuwa chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister. This is just an incarnation, my true form is still in Wa Emperor Heaven, with teachers’ tacit approval. Aren’t you also an incarnation, Junior Sister? Oh, I heard that your true form can never leave the Underworld, truly pitiable, isn’t it?"
"What difference does it make if a Saint cannot leave, since one thought can observe the entire Primordial World?"
Nuwa and Ping Xin exchanged smiles, a unique aura spreading throughout Biyou Palace.
Tongtian, Taishang, Primordial, Jie Yin, and Zhunti all gradually quieted down, each feeling a chill continuously rising in their hearts.
Zhunti dryly said, "Fellow Daoists, I need to arrange some competition matters for our Western Sect, so I’ll take my leave first." He rose and bowed, his figure vanishing instantly.
Jie Yin also stood up and said, "I’ll go back to check things out and organize the competition." He bowed and disappeared instantly.
Primordial stood up and said solemnly, "I’ve never had a proper look at Junior Brother’s Jie Sect; I shall go for a visit this time."
Taishang stood up and chuckled, "Let’s go together! I’m also curious about how Teachings from Tongtian’s disciples turn out."
Tongtian quickly stood and said, "I’ll join, I’ll guide and introduce everything to my two elder brothers."
Taishang and Primordial immediately said in unison, "No need, you just take care of the two Junior Sisters." And the two vanished instantly.
Tongtian was left dumbstruck, internally screaming that his elder brothers had just thrown him under the bus. Turning his head to look at Nuwa and Ping Xin still exchanging glances, he was momentarily unsure how to defuse the awkward atmosphere.
After hesitating for a moment, Tongtian raised his hand and a set of flashy golden poker cards appeared, suggesting, "Junior Sisters, how about we play ’fighting Demon King’? I’ll be the sly Demon King~"
Nuwa and Ping Xin stood up, turned to Tongtian and bowed politely, saying, "Brother, today we plan to enjoy the scenery of the East Sea, so we will take our leave first." Both speaking in unison, identical in every way.
Tongtian regretfully said, "Since my Junior Sisters have other matters, I will not keep you any longer. We shall play next time; after all, ’fighting Demon King’ was invented by Bai Jin!"
Nuwa and Ping Xin acknowledged, exchanged a glance, and their forms faded and disappeared.
Tongtian let out a long breath and muttered to himself, "What realm have Nuwa and Ping Xin actually reached? Why do both their incarnations make me feel so terrified? Could it be they have already surpassed Teacher?" Pondering long, he could not comprehend the reason, finding the recent aura quite terrifying.
Inside Nuwa Palace in the East Sea, the figure of Nuwa materialized and walked inside. Qingluan and Cai Feng immediately followed her.
As Nuwa sat on the Cloud Bed inside the main hall, she called out, "Bai Jin, come see me immediately!"
Moments later, Bai Jin rushed into the main hall of Nuwa Palace, saluting and saying, "Disciple greets Uncle Master!"
Nuwa raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is this ’fighting Demon King’?"
"That is a card game invented by your disciple. If Uncle Master permits, I can teach it to Qingluan and Cai Feng."
Nuwa nodded and said, "You may."
Shortly thereafter, Bai Jin taught Qingluan and Cai Feng how to play ’fighting Demon King’, then respectfully saluted and said, "My Lady, there are some matters regarding the Wilderness Games that I must arrange, so I’ll attend to them now."
Nuwa’s gaze lingered on the set of poker cards left behind, nodding, "Go."
Bai Jin turned and ran out of Nuwa Palace, heading towards Pingxin Palace. Xingtian grudgingly opened the palace doors, grumbling, "Why are you so slow?"
Panting, Bai Jin responded, "There’s just so much to do for the Wilderness Games, where is my Lady?"
"She’s waiting in the grand hall."
Bai Jin ran into the grand hall, bowed deeply and exclaimed, "Greetings to my Lady, may Lady be auspicious!"
"Hm!" Ping Xin nodded slightly, smiling, "What is ’fighting Demon King’?"
