Chapter 85 Si Yuan

This recreated scene lasted for thirteen days and nights within the lightning battery.

Once there was no more lightning in the pool, the tribulation cloud seemed to deflate, carrying the horned jade back to its original position and disappearing.

——————

Just then, Nanlu, the deity of the Fulu Temple, suddenly sensed that the four divine handles of thunder, rain, wind, and lightning, which were suppressing the Lu Pond, had broken free from the Lu Pond's restraints and flown into the Dragon and Phoenix Palace above the Danxue Mountains, disappearing from sight.

This is incredible!

He didn't drive a carriage, but went straight to the Heavenly Mandate Palace, only to find the divine attendant Si Yuan.

Enraged, He slammed a palm at Si Yuan, shouting, "Where is Ming Jiu! Where is he?"

Si Yuan couldn't dodge it and took a blow.

Its body was covered with cracks like pottery, yet it still managed to reply with difficulty: "My Lord, the Divine Lord is in Kunlun Yaochi."

After saying that, Si Yuan's body shattered.

Nanlu peered into the fragment, grabbed an eye, and headed towards Kunlun Yaochi.

The Jade Pool remains as it always was, with birds singing and swallows dancing.

Nanlu shouted from outside the door, "Ming Jiu, get out here now!"

As the sound faded, a giant, illusory hand descended from the sky, suppressing the surrounding spiritual energy and causing it to dissipate.

Upon hearing the voice, Ming Jiu hurriedly got up. Without even saying goodbye to Mei Xiu, he quickly flew towards the door.

"Slap!" Nanlu raised the eyeball in his hand and slapped Mingjiu across the face. He said with exasperation, "If you don't change back to your original form, come with me to apologize to Lord Xi!"

Ming Jiu transformed into a nine-tailed black cat as instructed, and Nan Lu embedded his eyes directly into his forehead.

Immediately, blood gushed from Ming Jiu's face.

Nanlu carried Mingjiu Tengyun and flew towards Guangyang Palace.

Inside Guangyang Palace, the fiery and scorching Xizhu sat on his throne, watching the clouds.

His palace was quiet and peaceful, without even a servant; He enjoyed this tranquil life.

Nanlu grabbed Mingjiu by the neck and slammed him down the jade steps, bowing deeply and saying, "Lord Xi, something has happened!"

This fellow indulges in revelry day and night in the Jade Pool, neglecting his supervisory duties. The four divine powers of thunder, lightning, wind, and rain have found new owners since yesterday.

"Oh?" Xi Zhu leaned back on the throne and said, "This kind of thing has happened before. Who is so lucky this time?"

Nanlu buried his head in his hands, which he had bowed to, and replied, "Once it falls into the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, the one who obtains the divine handle is either a member of the Phoenix or a member of the Dragon."

Xi Zhu remained silent, but Ming Jiu knelt there trembling as if chaff were falling. He tried his best to hold back and not make a sound.

But for some reason, his head felt as if it were filled with syrup, extremely heavy, and his mouth was unbearably itchy. Finally, he let out a low cough.

"Just do it the old way."

Upon hearing the cough, Xi Zhu raised his hand and dispersed a large patch of clouds.

The scalding steam filled the hall, and He continued, “Since you have landed in the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, clean that place up and leave it for our new god.”

"Nanlu, is this the lucky cat owner from the Heavenly Destiny Palace?"

"Yes, Lord Xi. Back then, he accidentally fused with the Heavenly Mandate Palace's divine handle. It was I who led him up."

"If he's in Yaochi, then who manages the Heavenly Mandate Palace on a daily basis?"

Nanlu looked up and lifted Mingjiu up. He pointed to the eye on Mingjiu's forehead and said, "This is the eye on this boy's forehead, called Siyuan. It is a reborn thing."

When the little god went to find Ming Jiu, he broke his clay body.

Upon hearing this, a hint of interest rose in Xi Zhu's eyes.

He stroked Ming Jiu's forehead, then pulled it down slightly, sucking the eye embedded in Ming Jiu's forehead into the air. Ming Jiu's body shook violently, but he could not break free.

As Xi Zhu raised his hand, the essence blood in Ming Jiu's body surged uncontrollably into this eye;

With the infusion of essence and blood, the eye re-differentiated, growing into a face with only one eye, four hands, two claws, and a long tail like a stick.

As for Ming Jiu, it was like a flower or leaf that withered instantly, its body shriveled and dry like a piece of firewood.

A palace decree inscribed with "Tianming Palace" materialized out of thin air.

Xi Zhu gently blew a scorching breath upwards, and it was seen that there were countless thin threads on the palace token, connecting Ming Jiu and the newborn body.

With a light tap of his hand, the Lord of the Sun created a bright fire sword from between his fingers. The sword moved with his finger, severing the connection between the Palace Commander and the Nine Life.

Having lost its balance, Gong Ling immediately merged into the new body.

Without the palace command, Ming Jiu lay motionless on the ground, like a piece of skin that had been cut off, unable to make a sound.

The newborn body, upon its birth, resembled a child, yet it could not speak.

He looked at Nanlu, who was bowing with his hands clasped in front of him, with a blank expression, and also bowed his four hands forward, burying his head in his hands.

Xi Zhu's lips curled up as he said, "From today onwards, the Heavenly Mandate Palace will be temporarily managed by your Fu Lu Hall. Nan Lu, you should teach this newborn boy well and let him manage the Heavenly Mandate Palace."

Take the trash off the ground with you.

Don't let anything else happen, and don't disappoint me again!

As soon as he spoke, the words of the Lord of the Sun converged in the air into a string of scorching inscribed decrees, which Nanlu hurriedly caught with both hands.

Nanlu whispered, "This humble deity will obey the law."

Having received the decree, Nanlu, with one hand holding the newborn boy who was still bowing and clasping his hands, and the other carrying the remains of Mingjiu, quickly withdrew from Guangyang Palace.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Mandate Palace, Nanlu placed the decree on the main altar of the Heavenly Mandate Palace and summoned the attendants of the Heavenly Mandate Palace to report on their duties.

The palace servants stepped forward one by one to recount the events, and nothing seemed amiss.

However, Si Yuan collapsed, and no servants came forward to explain the situation in the mirror room;

Nanlu glanced at the mouthless fellow beside him and had no choice but to call the Mirror Room attendant, Spider Lady, forward.

Spider Lady brought a record with her and presented it. She prostrated herself on the ground and said, "After the Divine Servant of Fate learned that the Mirror of Fate had not returned, he demoted the original attendant of the Mirror Chamber, Crane Attendant, and then proposed me as the new attendant of this Mirror Chamber in the Life Cleansing Pool of the Life Palace."

Having said that, and with a courage that seemed to come from nowhere, Spider Lady continued in detail: "The Mirror of Cause and Effect has not returned. The God of Fate has gone to Yaochi many times to invite the original God of Fate back to the palace, but the Heavenly Maidens refused to let him in. We had no choice but to send a message through the Heavenly Maidens."

Lord Nanlu, we have been diligent and conscientious, with no ulterior motives.

Nanlu had no intention of killing the servants and children, nor did he want to take over the mess of the Heavenly Mandate Palace. He ordered the servants to pay homage to the new god.

After the servants bowed, they cautiously asked for his name. Nanlu considered for a moment and said, "Let's still call him Siyuan."

Nanlu dismissed the servants, letting them continue with their duties, while he devoted himself to teaching the new Siyuan in the Tianming Palace.

Si Yuan learned very quickly, and within a few days she mastered the use of the "Heavenly Mandate Palace" command, the divine handle of fate.

Nanlu then took him down to the mortal realm to search for the lost Mirror of Cause and Effect in the desolate sea.

He asked the Crane Palace to prepare a crane for himself and Siyuan, and then flew off to the desolate sea.

——————

On the eighth day after the Palace Commander of the Heavenly Mandate Palace was completely transferred, Feng Qing in the desolate sea slowly sensed that its time of freedom was already counting down.

After running wildly on Xifeng Island all day, it snuggled into Gu Qingqing's arms and whispered in her ear, "Get up, I have something to tell you."

Gu Qingqing was fast asleep and wouldn't get up. She turned over and continued sleeping.

Feng Qing had no choice but to climb onto Gu Qingqing's fox-like face again and shout loudly, "Get up, get up, I'm leaving."

Unable to calm herself down, she simply curled up into a ball and buried her head in her body.

Feng Qing felt a surge of stagnation in her chest. She turned her eyes around, climbed onto Gu Qingqing's head again, and shouted, "Oh dear, are all these spirit crystals for us? Then I'll accept them."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing, who had been sleeping like a pig, immediately opened her heavy eyelids, stood up unsteadily, and searched left and right, but finally only found Feng Qing.

She smacked Feng Qing on the head with her paw and said angrily, "Well, you've even learned to tease me now. Did Ji Rong teach you that?"
