Chapter 252 Seclusion and Corpse Slaying
At this moment, Yuanshi was not listening to the second half of Laozi's words. His gaze was fixed on the Sun Wheel, which was like a small sun, as if it were the embodiment of Chang Hao. Seeing it was like seeing Chang Hao, which was similar to the meaning he had given Chang Hao the jade ruyi.
"Don't want it? If you don't want it, I'll..." and give it back to Chang Hao... Before I could finish speaking, the Sun Essence Wheel was already gone from my hand.
Lao Tzu looked at Yuan Shi's hand without any surprise and saw that Yuan Shi held the Sun Essence Wheel in his hand as if it were a treasure.
Yuan Shi looked at himself, feeling that he was at risk of losing the item no matter where he hung it. What if it got stolen?
Finally, Yuanshi decisively grasped the Sun Essence Wheel in his hand. No one could brush the Sun Essence Wheel away from him, not even his master himself.
"Brother, I'm going into seclusion." Yuanshi moved with incredible speed, unaware of his surroundings. Fortunately, he was familiar with the paths, and even though his soul was wandering in the heavens, he still walked steadily back to the Jade Void Palace.
Cloud neutrons? I've long forgotten about them.
I'm furious! This heartless bastard didn't consider him and Tongtian at all!
In a sense, as an extension of Pangu's self, it was very risky for Yuanshi to sever his own self. If it weren't for the fear that his master would use a heavy hand and Yuanshi wouldn't be able to withstand it, Laozi would have always been in a laissez-faire attitude. Now, times have changed, and he has no control over his own life. Indeed, there are many troubles in the mortal world.
Yuanshi's eyebrows relaxed, and thinking that the sun and moon were a pair, he felt like a green willow meeting the spring breeze.
It is particularly unlucky for a pair of things to be separated for too long. Yuan Shi thought about this, his eyes filled with spring. Since Chang Hao wanted him to dismember the corpse, then he would do so.
It wasn't until he saw his disciples looking dejected that Yuanshi remembered the unpleasant thing about taking Hongyun as a disciple in the Eight Views Palace.
In front of his disciples who were kneeling upright, Yuanshi announced that he would soon be going into seclusion. Of course, he did not forget to assign a huge number of tasks to these disciples who were like mud, ranging from punishing evil and promoting good to cultivating themselves. He was as strict as possible.
"Guang Chengzi, you are the eldest disciple of Yuxu Palace. During my seclusion, you will be in charge of supervising my junior brothers." Yuanshi warned Guang Chengzi. "If you have any questions, ask your eldest brother for guidance. Your senior uncle is also in Bajing Palace. You can ask him for guidance as well. Remember, listen more, think more, and comprehend more."
"Yes, Master," Guang Chengzi replied without hesitation, "This disciple will definitely supervise my fellow disciples to cultivate diligently and never slack off."
"I hope to see you all reformed after I emerge from seclusion." Yuanshi's cold and stern gaze was fixed on his disciples, making their hearts pound like drums.
"Yes, Master, your disciple will remember your teachings." The orderly reply showed that they had been through quite a bit of trouble recently.
"Very well, all of you step back," Yuanshi waved away his disciples, "Huanglong, come with me..."
Huang Long stiffened, enduring the sympathetic gazes of Donghua and the others, and followed behind his master with a bittersweet smile.
As Huanglong followed, he sensed something was amiss. Wasn't this the road to his master's palace? Had his master summoned him to instruct him on something shady...?
"Come in, what are you standing there for?" Yuanshi entered his bedchamber and the first thing he saw was the cloud bed in the inner chamber. Thinking of the past he had calculated with the Haotian Mirror, he realized that Hongyun was incredibly audacious, daring to use his innate supernatural power to transform into a cloud bed and cover Changhao with a cloud blanket...
The cloud-shaped couch in the inner palace was the first to be thrown out of the palace by Yuanshi.
Huanglong narrowly avoided the cloud couch and tiptoed into the inner hall, anxiously awaiting his unpredictable master's words.
"What are you doing, you idiot? Throw all the cloud artifacts out of my hall!" Yuanshi gritted his teeth. This disciple looked rather dull-witted. "Go ahead and do it!"
"Oh, oh, let's get started." With his superb eyesight, Huanglong stripped off all the cloud-covered curtains, cloud-curtains, cloud-mats in the palace. Finally, with trembling hands, he boldly threw his master's immortal robes, made of clouds, out of the palace.
Finally, they discovered that the hall had been ransacked and was in complete disarray, as if it had been robbed. Huanglong glanced at his master's face and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master was not angry.
"Very good, there are no more cloud-related items." Yuanshi finally breathed a sigh of relief and replaced the cloud couch with a wooden couch, which, judging by appearance, was similar to the one Chang Hao used daily.
Damn the first cloud, he threw away all the cloud artifacts. Let's see how you can rely on your innate supernatural powers to suddenly transform into a cloud and possess all the cloud artifacts.
"Huang Long, remember to throw away all the cloud-related items in Yuxu Palace and replace all the decorations. Also, don't forget to tell your Senior Brother Duobao that Yuxu Palace will no longer use cloud-related items in the future."
Yuanshi didn't want Hongyun to suddenly transform into a cloud bed for him one day, taking advantage of his innate supernatural powers...
"Yes, Master." Huang Long concealed his surprise. It seemed that what had angered his master was this 'cloud'...
Yuanshi was somewhat satisfied; this dragon was still somewhat useful.
Huanglong was about to leave when Yuanshi suddenly remembered the so-called Ancestral Dragon's treasured manual that Changhao had burned. "Wait, I heard that your Dragon Palace has a treasured manual left behind by the Ancestral Dragon."
The gift from Nuwa was burned by Chang Hao. He has now ordered Huanglong to go find it, so that he can give Chang Hao a surprise when he comes out of seclusion.
With a loud crash, Huanglong slammed his head against a pillar. Their ancestor's treasured secret manual was none other than that…
"Fool!" Yuanshi was furious. "Rotten wood cannot be carved..." He had just begun to change his opinion of Huanglong, but Huanglong had become dull-witted again and was truly beyond redemption.
Huang Long's heart trembled, and he swallowed hard. "Master, I wonder what is recorded in this Ancestral Dragon Treasure Edition Manual...?" Could it be that he misunderstood, and his master really wanted the manual, not their ancestor's bedroom arts?
"Fools! If your master knew what was inside, wouldn't he have written it himself?" Yuan Shi was truly desperate about his disciples; not a single one of them was clever.
Huang Long was dumbfounded. What should he do? Give it or not? If he gave it, the Venerable Master would surely find out that it was his side that had made a mistake and would not let him off easily. If he didn't give it, his master would not let him off easily.
"Go down and clean up the Jade Void Palace first. When I come out of seclusion, remember to present the Ancestral Dragon's treasured manual. As for the rare and precious materials that need to be exchanged, you can go to Guang Chengzi to get them yourself." Yuan Shi was already mentally prepared that Huang Long couldn't handle it. "If you are not capable enough, when I come out of seclusion, inform me of the relevant information, and I will take care of it personally."
"Yes, Master, I understand." Huang Long retreated in a daze, his handsome face turning pale and then red. What should he do?
He has a whole bunch of rare and precious manuals from the Ancestral Dragon Clan. Should I give them to him or not? Oh well, I'll just put it off for now. My master is in seclusion and we don't know when he'll come out.
He was ordered by his master to renovate the Jade Void Palace. He would renovate first and then talk about it later. There had to be something to satisfy his master, otherwise, he would appear particularly incompetent.
Huanglong, along with his attendants Baihe and Xianhe, dismantled anything made of cloud-related materials without question...
After the dismantling was completed, there was no need to go to Duobao to find replacements. Huanglong simply made a generous gesture and paid for all the decorations himself.
As the ethereal Jade Void Palace gradually transformed into a magnificent palace, Guang Chengzi and the others arrived upon receiving the news, only to be stunned by the completely renovated Jade Void Palace.
