Translator: Tamon Translation Checker: Silavin Hei saw Ah’Miao’s determination. “Since you’re so determined, then let’s be off.” “Right.” Ah’Miao jumped on Hei, giggling, “Flood Dragon Hei, how does it feel being Senior’s mount?” Hei laughed with pride. “How? Absolutely great! Ah’Miao, you have no idea the faces all the other old Demons from Myriad Mountains pulled when they heard I was Young Master’s mount. Talk about going green from envy. It’s unfortunate that not everyone deserves to be ridden by Young Master. “Humph, if you could be Senior’s mount, then I can also be Senior’s disciple!” “Ha-ha-ha, I believe you.” “Where’s the little fox, Bai Yue, gone to?” “She’s in seclusion. It feels like she’s getting stronger by the day. She’ll be my greatest opponent at the contest.” “Oh, it sounds like you have competition.” Ah’Miao placed her hands on her hips, laughing and showing off her sharp canines. “Flood Dragon Hei, don’t be so sure. I know Bai Yue’s weakness.” “What weakness?” “Not telling. A girl’s gotta have her secrets.” “Petty cat.” Hei huffed. The two chatted as Hei flew through the clouds, towards Everlasting Jade Lake. Three days flashed by, and Mei Niang came with Bai Yue to Eternity Temple. “Greetings, Senior.” “Greeting, Master.” Mei Niang’s eyes went wide as she turned to Bai Yue. “Seventh Princess, when did you become Senior’s disciple?” “Just a few days ago.” Mei Niang envied her, but she was also glad. [Wonder what face she’d make if she knew Bai Yue is also the new Heavenly Dao Protector.] “Here are five Dao Rhythm items, Mei Niang.” Chen Changan offered her a storage ring. Mei Niang took it, “We’ll hold an auction worthy of Senior’s efforts.” Chen Changan already gave Wu Ming the other five. Wu Ming and Ling Bao’er were ready to set off. Foxy hugged Chen Changan’s leg, looking envious at Ling Bao’er. Ling Bao’er was stacked with dozens of immortal treasures, spoils of war from the defeated Dao Protectors. Besides that, she also had plenty of healing immortal herbs. In short, Ling Bao’er received the full pampering of her status as Chen Changan’s first disciple. Chen Changan placed a Life and Death Talisman on Bai Yue, since she was his newest disciple. After some contemplation, he did the same to Mei Niang. Hearing from Wu Ming about the unimaginable value of the Dao Rhythm items, Mei Niang knew she was in danger up there. [It’ll be a loss for the world if such a pretty woman dies in the Upper Realm.] Chen Changan still needed her to auction the Dao Rhythm items for Immortal Stones, no? “Senior, what’s this?” Mei Niang inquired about the mystical power that was pulsing inside her. “You should be on your knees, thanking Lord for bestowing on you the Life and Death Talisman. It will revive you upon death!” Wu Ming grumbled. [Why did this chick get Lord’s talisman? What’s her connection to Lord?] [Humph, I knew it, this witch must’ve had an affair with Lord. If only I were a pretty woman, Lord wouldn’t have been so rough.] Mei Niang and Bai Yue gasped in shock. They thanked him again and again. Chen Changan waved them off. “I’ve given you the items, and now it’s time for you to go back to the Immortal Domain.” “Mei Niang, remember to bring the Immortal Stones as soon as able. “Wu Ming, protect Bao’er.” “Lord, I’ll die before anything happens to Young Miss!” Ling Bao’er was determined but still felt reluctant. Without her master, she had only herself to rely on. She had to get the inheritance and not let her master down! Mei Niang opened the Immortal Gate and the three left. Chen Changan watched the gate close and rubbed his chin. He waved his right, and another Immortal Gate popped. [So that’s how Immortal Gate appears.] Chen Changan got accustomed to the feel of Immortal Gates. He looked deeper inside, at the immortal mist blocking his sight. It was outside the Absolute Domain. [It’s too soon for the Absolute Domain to extend over the Immortal Domains. I better focus on the Nine Province Continent first.] He knew his priorities and closed the gate. Chen Changan turned to Bai Yue and said, “The disciple contest is just a few days away. Stay on the Eternity Temple and cultivate, since it has the thickest Immortal Energy.” He used creation on Bai Yue. Chen Changan was curious what effect would bring on an already incredible genius like Bai Yue. Bai Yue felt cool and refreshed, then her aura exploded. Like a black hole, she devoured the Immortal Energy around. Her body shone and released a dazzling light. [So it works on Immortal Domain geniuses as well.] Chen Changan started. “Master, what’s this?” Bai Yue was shocked at the feeling of her cultivation speed skyrocketing. “Improving your talent. Not a bad result.” “Improving talent?!” Bai Yue gapped. Chen Changan stretched, [Finally done with most stuff. So tired and sleepy.] [Who’s the idiot that gave me the bright idea to hold a disciple contest? What a pain.] “Bai Yue, with improved talent, you’ll be advancing in no time, so work hard. Don’t disturb me unless it’s important.” Chen Changan lay in his chair under Fig. Under the cool breeze and midday sun, it was the perfect time for his long overdue deadbeat’s nap. With the contest around the corner, he ought to enjoy the good and lazy life of a neet. Chen Changan held his hands together, looking solemn, “May all those who preside over warriors be my vanguard. I summon the pillow!” (Tamon: the first half comes from Nine Hand Seals.) “Ya, yi, ya, yi…” Foxy hugged Chen Changan, making a cute yawn as she nestled in his chest like a kitten. “Pillow summon successful. Fig awaits orders.” “Shield me from the sun and don’t let anyone disturb my beauty sleep.” “Understood!” “Good, time to sleep.”
