Chapter 329 Extra Chapter 10: Daily Life [Upper Realm Arc]

After the grand ceremony, Linming Immortal Palace became busier than ever before.

As the master of a palace, one should theoretically reside permanently within the palace. However, Linming Immortal Lord is clearly an exception. Whenever he cannot be found in Linming Immortal Palace, it means that the Immortal Lord has gone to Yaoyan Immortal Palace. Over time, the immortal officials of Linming Immortal Palace have tacitly followed the Immortal Lord to Yaoyan Immortal Palace. Occasionally, when there is a shortage of manpower, the two palaces will borrow from each other. Soon, the number of people in Yaoyan Immortal Palace has surged, and it is necessary to expand it.

The expansion of the celestial palace is a huge project that requires a lot of celestial spirits and needs to be overseen by the Construction Department of the Upper Heaven. Currently, the celestial lord in charge of the Construction Department is Pian'an's father, and Pian'an even made a special trip to Linming Celestial Palace for this purpose.

Wei Feng was watching Xuan Zhiyan's disciple-acceptance ceremony through the water mirror. This kid was usually quiet, but he had accepted nine disciples in one go, each of whom was a genius. Yanghua Sect was bustling with activity. Wei Feng even wanted to go down and take a look, but when he looked up and saw the table piled high with documents and files, he could only sigh with regret.

Pian An entered at this critical juncture.

Before Wei Feng regained his memories while being raised in Lingyin Palace, he and Pian An were at odds and fought every day. However, after regaining his memories, he was too lazy to argue with the little brat. Instead, Pian An would come to find him whenever he had a reason.

"Wei Feng, what are you doing?" Pian An, acting as if he belonged with the group, leaned closer to look into the water mirror and asked in confusion, "Who are these people?"

"Just looking around." Wei Feng raised his hand, and the image in the water mirror vanished instantly. He looked at the other person, "What are you doing here?"

“Isn’t Yaoyan Immortal Palace going to be expanded? The Construction Department has already produced the blueprints. Immortal Lord Yaoyan is too busy to bother you, so I’ll just show you the blueprints first. If there are any changes that need to be made, we’ll make them first, and then we’ll show them to Immortal Lord Yaoyan once they’re done.” Pian’an handed him a thick roll of blueprints.

Wei Feng took the blueprints and began to look at them when he heard Pian An say, "I heard that Immortal Lord Yao Yan has completely refined the Mi Hua Realm a few days ago?"

"Hmm." Wei Feng turned a page and saw the new bedroom that had been specially added next to Jiang Gu's bedroom. "Let's combine the two rooms here. There's no need to add any more bedrooms. The bathhouse in the back hall needs to be expanded three times."

"Three times?" Pian An was taken aback. "Wouldn't that be too big?"

“Perfect,” Wei Feng said.

His current original form is enormous, and that small pool is simply not enough to wag his tail. He couldn't even keep his master entertained last time... Moreover, his master's current bedroom is filled with things he moved there, so it is indeed too small.

Pian'an took the brush and made the changes one by one, saying, "When you were little, you always said you wanted to marry Immortal Lord Yaoyan. I thought you were just talking nonsense, but I never expected that you would actually get your wish now."

Wei Feng said, "Back then, I hadn't regained my memories yet, and I was always fighting with you."

Pian An waved his hand: "I was ignorant too, always saying things to provoke you. His Highness Yao Shuo and my father have 'sparred' a lot about this. If my father loses, he will definitely beat me when he comes back."

Wei Feng smiled and said, "Is that so?"

"But after you moved to the Sixteenth Heaven, they started drinking again," Pian'an said. "Speaking of which, how is Immortal Lord Changning doing now?"

Wei Feng put down the blueprints and looked at him: "So that's why you suddenly decided to come to my palace. It turns out you were here to gather information."

At that time, Jiang Gu and Wei Feng entered the Divine Gate. Chang Ning's mind was sealed by Jiang Gu, and he was imprisoned in Chang Ning Immortal Palace. Yun Guang and Chao Su were also imprisoned. Recently, some troubles have occurred in Yun Guang Realm, which have reached Jiang Gu's attention. Jiang Gu simply decided to settle accounts with all the immortals who were involved in the Chaos Tribulation. Recently, the atmosphere in the entire Upper Realm has been very tense.

“I didn’t want to either. I’ve never even met Changning, but my father and Changning’s father are old friends, and they insisted on forcing me to come and sound them out.” Pian’an said dejectedly, “I would rather die than enter Yaoyan Immortal Palace, so I had no choice but to come to you.”

Wei Feng closed the blueprint and said, "I don't know exactly how these people will be dealt with. My master is always impartial and incorruptible. No matter who pleads, it's useless. Last time, when the people from Linming Immortal Palace made a mistake and were to be punished, I pleaded for them and almost got scolded to death by him."

Pian An sighed: "Then I think Immortal Lord Changning is in trouble."

“He conspired with Tiaoxu to release the Chaos Core to the lower realm that very night. Although he wasn’t the mastermind, he was still an accomplice,” Wei Feng said. “How to deal with him is not up to Yao Yan, but up to him.”

Pian'an sensed a glimmer of hope in the conversation and stood up, saying, "Thank you, Immortal Lord Linming. I have other matters to attend to in my palace, so I will take my leave now."

Wei Feng stood up to return the greeting and watched him leave.

The mastermind behind the release of Changning from the Chaos Lower Realm is not the one who secretly released him. Moreover, although his father has perished, he has many old friends in the Upper Heaven, including Yao Shuo, with whom he has a very good personal relationship. Therefore, there has been no shortage of open and covert pleas and maneuvers. How to deal with him is a rather thorny issue for the Sixteenth Heaven.

Yaoyan Immortal Palace.

Zi Guang leaned back on the couch, broke open a magic pill to feed the black carp in the fish tank, and said to Jiang Gu, "If you ask me, you should just lock Chang Ning in the earth vein for tens of thousands of years, let him reflect on his actions, and then release him. You know his temperament. If Tiao Xu says go east, he won't dare to go west. All these years, that old bastard has been tormenting and instigating him by relying on Master's name. Even a good person would be driven crazy by that."

Jiang Gu said, "Wrong is wrong, and this is his own choice."

"Even if that's the case, to put it another way, those immortals from the Upper Heavens have already pleaded for him. If you really strip him of his immortal bones, or directly banish him to the mortal realm, who knows what those old fogies will do to you then?" Zi Guang teased the little black fish in the fish tank. "The sword you carried when you descended to the mortal realm was a gift from him, wasn't it?"

Jiang Gu looked up at him.

"That sword was imbued with a divine spirit and reincarnated as a little fox. However, it seems that it will have to endure several more lifetimes of trials before it can ascend." Zi Guang raised his hand, and a water mirror appeared in the center of the hall. The water mirror reflected the shadows of Jiang Lin and Qin Zhi. The little fox was perched on the head of the puppet, baring its teeth and bristling at the spirit beast opposite it.

Zi Guang stroked his chin. "This is the second life, isn't it? You spared his life because you still care about the friendship you had when you were young."

He was referring to Changning, and also Jianglin.

Jiang Gu remained unmoved: "If you've only come here to plead for me, then go back."

"Of course I have other things to do." Zi Guang tapped the small fish tank on the table. "Feng Ji has cut off several pieces of his primordial spirit again. One piece turned into a lotus in the Immortal Pool, one piece turned into a short knife, and another piece turned into a black carp. He went off to comprehend the Dao again. You need to help me think of a way to put these pieces of his primordial spirit back into him."

Jiang Gu said, "Why put it back? This way he can use multiple divided spirits to comprehend the Great Dao at the same time."

Zi Guang's face turned green, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of enlightenment did he gain? You knocked down the piece of spiritual cloud that contained my primordial spirit before, and the small piece of his primordial spirit that fell into Yuan Yao Palace also insisted on joining in the fun. Now the two of them are together in the lower realm. I have forcibly summoned them several times, but they refuse to come back no matter what I say."

Jiang Gu said slowly and deliberately, "Perhaps this is their own luck."

“Yes, if these two primordial spirits cultivate for several lifetimes, and then ascend hand in hand, where will I put my old face?” Zi Guang covered his face. “It’s simply a sin.”

"That's their own fate," Jiang Gu said calmly. "So you're afraid that Feng Ji's fragments of primordial spirit will also run to the lower realm like the one from Yuan Yao Palace?"

Zi Guang sighed: "I think that since those two primordial spirits have already transformed into human form and decided to cultivate on their own, we shouldn't interfere too much. But I'm afraid Feng Ji won't think that way. If he finds out, he might take back that primordial spirit."

“If we put these primordial spirits back into him, he’ll only be thinking about how to cut them up again. He probably won’t think about that piece of primordial spirit for a while. After tens of thousands of years, when he has completed his Great Dao, he won’t be able to take it back even if he wants to. That’s perfect,” Zi Guang said.

Jiang Gu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "You saw it?"

"I couldn't resist," Zi Guang said with a smile. "It's been quite a rollercoaster ride; I couldn't bear to break them up."

"And what about you and Fengji?" Consultant Jiang asked.

Zi Guang was immediately shocked and covered his chest with his hands: "Don't talk nonsense. I treat Feng Ji the same way I treat you. We are close friends. It is absolutely impossible for us to be in love."

Jiang Gu asked, "Really?"

“Think about it, me communicating with Feng Ji spiritually, or me communicating with you spiritually—” Zi Guang’s face turned mostly green. “No, that’s a bit disgusting.”

Jiang Gu's expression twisted slightly: "Don't force me to beat you up."

"It's absolutely impossible for me and Feng Ji to be together." Zi Guang rubbed his arms, feeling a chill.

"What is impossible for me?" The black carp swimming in the fish tank suddenly popped its head out and asked, its fins gripping the rim of the tank.

"You've arrived." Jiang Gu nodded.

“I have a spiritual connection with you,” Zi Guang said.

"Who?" Feng Ji asked in confusion.

“Me.” Ziguang pointed to himself.

Feng Ji's fish-like eyes went blank for a moment, then he rolled over belly up like a dead fish: "Why didn't you just kill me? It's better for me to attain enlightenment through death."

As he said this, he actually drowned himself in the fish tank, and his primordial spirit transformed into starlight and slowly drifted back to his original body.

Purple Light: "..."

"No, what does he mean?" Zi Guang looked up and asked Jiang Gu.

Jiang Gu pointed to the door without looking up.

Enraged, Zi Guang threw the lotus flower and the dagger onto Jiang Gu's table: "If I ever have to clean up his mess again, I'll have to go through another love tribulation!"

Jiang Gu remained noncommittal. Just as he crushed the two items and sent them back to Feng Ji's body, Wei Feng hurriedly entered the room.

"What is it?" Jiang Gu brushed the dust off his sleeves.

Wei Feng sat down opposite him, unfolded a scroll of blueprints in front of him, and said excitedly, "Master, how about planting that Seven Killing Tree from Endless Heaven in your palace? We can build a glass bridge connecting the two Seven Killing Trees, with a sprawling immortal pool below, and then move the Golden Snow Waterfall and the Glass Forest here..."

He described his grand vision to Jiang Gu and concluded, "In this way, we can meet anytime, anywhere."

Jiang Gu paused for a moment in a strange silence, then slowly said, "I just learned a while ago that the Seven Kill Tree in your palace is the original body of a senior from the Upper Heaven."

Wei Feng was taken aback: "Is he still alive?"

Jiang Gu said, "I don't know, but he is Master's junior brother from the same sect, so you should call him Grandmaster Uncle."

Wei Feng's lips twitched.

"Stop messing with this old senior," Jiang Gu said. "Next time, don't pluck all the Seven Killings Flowers and Seven Killings Leaves to make artifacts. Master said that's Uncle Seven Killings' hair."

Wei Feng: "That Immortal Pool..."

Jiang Gu met his expectant gaze and nodded: "Repair."

It's just a few tens of millions of immortal spirits; he can still afford to take it out.

Wei Feng happily pounced on him, pinning Jiang Gu beneath him. He smiled faintly, "So happy?"

"I can swim freely in the Immortal Pool." Wei Feng kissed the corner of his mouth. "By the way, Master, what do you plan to do with Changning?"

Jiang Gu lifted his eyelids: "Someone came to your palace seeking help?"

"Not really, I just casually asked when Pian'an brought the blueprints over," Wei Feng said.

Jiang Gu pulled the person up: "You'll know once you come with me to Changning Immortal Palace."
