Chapter 125 Crown Prince Changqin
"Can't we eat it?" Chang Hao asked back.
"Edible, of course edible." Tongtian couldn't help but reflect on himself. Why hadn't he ever thought of eating them? But he really liked these two eggs. Should he stop them?
"That settles it then." Chang Hao stared intently at the egg, but after a short while, his expression suddenly changed.
"Chang Hao, you've managed to bring out the creatures inside." Tongtian suppressed a laugh and readily took the two eggs out of the fire. "It seems your true fire is no match for the Phoenix True Fire."
They're really something, saving him the trouble of persuading Chang Hao.
"Who said that?" Chang Hao disagreed. "Put it back, and I guarantee they'll scream for help immediately." He wasn't using his mutated Solar True Fire; he wanted to eat the egg, not turn it to ashes.
"No, I was just kidding," Tongtian said, covering the two eggs with his sleeve. "I was just about to say that these are the first peacock and golden-winged roc in the world. It would be such a waste to eat them."
"I want to take them as my disciples. What do you think, Second Brother?" Tongtian held the egg with great affection. It was able to survive Chang Hao's fire. Although it wasn't their natal fire, their aptitude must be quite good.
Very good.
Yuanshi glanced at it and said noncommittally, "Not bad." Better than what Tongtian picked up randomly everywhere.
Tongtian was secretly delighted. How could he not know his second brother's words? "Not bad" was actually quite good. "Second brother, do you want one? I can share one with you."
"No need, keep it for yourself." It was rare for Tongtian to have such high standards, so Yuanshi didn't take what others loved. The descendants of Zufeng were much better than those mediocre ones.
"Oh, then I won't stand on ceremony." Tongtian hadn't really wanted to give up one of the two Yuanshi stones; he would be heartbroken to give up either one.
"Tongtian, why don't you share one with me?" Chang Hao teased. "I don't mind. It's fine if you don't eat it. I just happen to want a peacock cloak. If I nurture this peacock egg, I'll have a continuous supply of peacock cloaks in the future."
What was said in jest was taken to heart by the listener. Yuanshi's gaze fell on the peacock egg. Was it a peacock cloak?
“No, no, birds will feel inferior without feathers,” Tongtian said quickly as he hid the two eggs. Realizing that Chang Hao was just teasing him, he stubbornly replied, “I’m not giving them to you for your own good.”
"How can you do this for my own good?" Chang Hao pressed.
“Look, you have the Dragon Clan. Although this egg isn’t a phoenix, it still has phoenix blood. If you take it back to Lishan, something bad will definitely happen. What if they also eat dragons?” Tongtian’s reasoning was clear, and it was obvious that he really wanted to protect his disciples.
“You make a good point, then I won’t take it.” Chang Hao readily agreed, pretending to have been persuaded by Tongtian.
Although he still really wanted to eat, Chang Hao could restrain himself from this sudden urge to eat for the sake of his friend.
"From now on, accept disciples according to this standard, otherwise I will not accept them." Yuanshi walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back. The peacock cloak was meant to help him think about how to get the peacock to hatch as soon as possible, how to make its wings fully grown...
Tongtian was dumbfounded. He had seen all the places on Jin'ao Island and found several that he liked, but they just weren't suitable for him.
"Second Brother, let's discuss this again. This request is too demanding." Tongtian caught up with him, hoping that Yuanshi could change his mind.
Although he could outwardly comply while inwardly defying him, Tongtian didn't want to constantly see his second brother's cold face...
"This is……"
The three stopped and saw a group of people walking forward in a line. They all looked weak and frail, but they helped each other. No one, young or old, fell behind, and the whole group seemed well-organized and orderly.
Although the female cultivator leading the group had a low cultivation level, only being a Celestial Immortal, she was the heart and soul of the entire team.
"Nuwa created the human race, but I don't know how such a weak race could support Nuwa's ascension to sainthood." Tongtian was completely puzzled.
"What's your name? Where are you planning to migrate to?" Chang Hao knew that Buzhou Mountain could not accommodate the ever-growing human race, and that it was inevitable for the tree to grow bigger and branch out. However, the timeline of the primordial era was blurred, and he was caught off guard when he first saw this.
Yuan Tu hurriedly stepped forward and carefully replied, "My name is Yuan Tu. Our tribe plans to move to the foot of Lishan Mountain. We have heard that the mountain lord of Lishan is kind and tolerant to his people and never allows them to do anything immoral. Under his protection, Lishan is peaceful and harmonious, which will surely allow us to thrive and multiply."
Chang Hao's eyes flickered as he glanced at the group. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss, but that was precisely the biggest problem.
“Yuan Tu, Lishan is nice, and the foot of the mountain is quiet. No fool would dare to harass it, but…” Chang Hao’s tone changed, and the unfinished words made Yuan Tu immediately nervous.
"But what if?" Yuan Tu pressed. If her clan didn't choose the right place, not to mention the losses along the way, even if they successfully reached Lishan, they might still suffer annihilation.
"But you're just going like this?" Chang Hao asked. "Did someone suggest you go? Did that person give you any tokens? Are you so sure that Lishan will accept you?"
“It was a wise man from our tribe who pointed out the way to us. He said that once we reached Lishan, someone would arrange for us to stay.”
Yuan Tu was in a dilemma. The immortal seemed very kind, but she dared not mention the token. What if it was stolen? So she had no choice but to keep the matter of the token a secret.
Chang Hao felt reassured. "Here's what I'll do. I'll give you a token. If you encounter any difficulties in Lishan, just show it to someone, and they will naturally offer you the greatest help."
"Thank you, Immortal." Yuan Tu was surprised to encounter such a good thing and hurriedly accepted the 'token' handed over by Chang Hao.
"Is the wise man you mentioned still on Mount Buzhou?" Chang Hao asked abruptly, handing Yuan Tu the jade slip with the letter he had engraved.
"Yes, yes, I'm here." As soon as the words left his mouth, Yuan Tu covered his mouth in annoyance. The wise man had said that what should not be said should not be said.
I cautiously peeked up at the immortal, only to be dazzled by his rare smile. When I came to my senses, the immortal had vanished.
The tribesmen surrounded him, asking all at once, "Chief, what did the immortal ask you?"
"What is the immortal called?"
“It’s nothing,” Yuan Tu gripped the jade slip in his hand. “We will definitely be accepted when we go to Lishan.” Such powerful immortals would not lower themselves to their cloud-like heights just to amuse them.
“I know where Brother Li Er is.” Chang Hao turned around and, before Yuanshi Tongtian could ask him curiously, told him the news he had obtained.
"Speak quickly." Not only was Tongtian eagerly waiting for Chang Hao to reveal Laozi's hiding place, but even Yuanshi pricked up his ears to listen carefully. The divination clearly indicated that it was in the east, so why couldn't they find it?
“At Buzhou Mountain…” Chang Hao glanced at the two of them and slowly uttered the second half of the sentence: “The place where the human race lives.”
"How could it be there?" Tongtian lamented. He had been everywhere except Buzhou Mountain, a miscalculation. "My elder brother clearly doesn't like noise, and Buzhou Mountain is in utter chaos right now."
"Let's go, let's go see Buzhou Mountain." Yuanshi wanted to know what had made his elder brother stay holed up on Buzhou Mountain and not move.
Upon arriving at Buzhou Mountain, the three keenly sensed that something was amiss. After observing for a while, they discovered that the Wu tribe members in the Wu tribe's territory were all beaming with joy.
Tongtian: "What's wrong with the Witch Clan? These big guys usually look silly, but it's rare to see them so happy. They're showing all their teeth. How happy they must be."
Just as the three were beginning to speculate, the world suddenly darkened, and the Pangu Palace of the Wu Clan emitted bursts of purple light. In a daze, one could see dragons and phoenixes dancing, and ethereal music playing. In this burst of purple light, the Wu Clan's crown prince was born, holding a zither.
Dijiang laughed heartily, his laughter resounding through the heavens and the earth: "Today, the crown prince of my Wu tribe was born with a zither in his arms, hence the name Crown Prince Changqin, and the whole tribe rejoices together."
The Wu tribe brandished their weapons, echoing the words of Emperor Jiang, their voices resounding throughout the world, arrogant and overbearing.
Their crown prince was born amidst extraordinary celestial phenomena, born with a zither in his arms. Each of the fifty strings could be plucked to activate the corresponding power of the Heavenly Laws. Although the demon race had ten crown princes, they combined could not compare to a single string of their crown prince's zither.
Even the thirty-three heavens of the Demon Court could not contain the arrogant and domineering aura of the Witch Clan, and the sound of the zither soared straight into the sky.
