"That's right. Li Kui and I don't have any irreconcilable conflicts. Later, we worked together in the Heavenly Court's investigation team. I helped him a lot when he started a family in the demon realm, so Li Kui has always been very grateful to me."
"Knowing that I participated in the God and Demon Forging, he took the initiative to ask his brothers in the Demon Realm to take care of me. Last time I was captured by the demons in the Eternal Night City of the Demon Realm, it was his brothers who released me and allowed me to complete the Foundation Establishment Trial mission," Wang Yao said with a smile.
“We’re completely wasted sitting in the office all day. Look at those immortals, they’ve only been immortals for a few days and they have connections everywhere. I’ve been an immortal for hundreds of years, and once I leave the immortal realm, I’m like a three-year-old who’s never seen the world. Who can I reason with?” Feng Huan sighed.
With Li Shishi vouching for him, Feng Huan no longer doubted what Wang Yao said. His mood worsened to the extreme. As the saying goes, comparing oneself to others is infuriating, but comparing immortals to immortals is even more embarrassing than comparing people to each other.
"In that case, Wang Xian, you have the perfect combination of timing, location, and people in participating in this God-Demon Forging. It's even possible that you could completely complete the God-Demon Forging and ascend directly to the Great Ascension stage. Forgive my poor eyesight at the time; I didn't see it at all. I'm truly sorry for my disrespect," Li Shishi murmured to Wang Yao.
Xiao Chan and the fairy holding the pipa nodded in agreement. Although their current cultivation levels were higher than Wang Yao's, their relationship between the gods and demons was far more powerful than Wang Yao's. It was only a matter of time before Wang Yao surpassed them.
Everyone put aside their previous slight disdain for Wang Yao and began to show him a certain respect.
"You're all too kind. I just stumbled upon this by chance. There's nothing to brag about. Besides, I didn't bring many life-extending clones with me, so I probably won't be able to complete the God-Demon Forging smoothly. I'll just take it as it comes," Wang Yao said modestly with a smile.
"How many life-extending clones did you bring?" the fairy holding the pipa asked curiously.
“Twelve,” Wang Yao replied.
"That's a bit too little, but..." The fairy looked hesitant.
"May I ask your surname, sister? What brings you here?" Wang Yao's heart stirred.
"My surname is Wang, and we share the same lineage." The fairy holding the pipa smiled slightly at Wang Yao. "Actually, it's not really about giving guidance, but I know a Mahayana cultivator, and we have a pretty good relationship. I could ask her to create a few more clones for you, but we're both currently engaged in forging and can't contact each other..."
"It's alright! I'll figure something out. Those gods must have ways to contact the immortal realm. We can just go through them, right?" Wang Yao immediately perked up. If he could make up for the missing link of the life-extending clone, then completing the forging of gods and demons would probably be a real possibility.
“If a deity intervenes, there will certainly be no problem. The Mahayana I know is quite famous in the Immortal Realm; she is none other than the Queen Mother of the West. I will write a letter to her for you and ask her to create a few life-extending clones for you. Five should be enough, right?” The fairy holding the pipa asked Wang Yao.
"Sister Zhaojun, you must be careful. The Queen Mother of the West has such a noble status in the celestial realm. You asked her to create an avatar for a mere immortal. Don't accidentally anger her, or you'll suffer the consequences!" Feng Huan hurriedly spoke up to stop her.
"It's alright. The Queen Mother of the West has a very noble status, but she is, after all, a retiring immortal. You don't usually have much contact with retiring immortals, unlike me, who, because of this special skill, often entertains them at banquets and has more frequent interactions with them."
The fairy holding the pipa gestured to Feng Huan with the pipa in her hand and said with a smile.
"Immortals who are idle in the Heavenly Court have no real power. They seem to be leisurely all day long, but they are actually quite bored. They love to meddle in other people's business and like to complain and gossip. They are quite kind to us little immortals. As for the Queen Mother of the West, she is as kind as a neighbor's grandmother."
“I came to participate in the God and Demon Forging Competition because of her encouragement. As you all know, the Heavenly Court’s Department of Rites and Music now values Western music, and those of us who practice folk music have fewer and fewer opportunities to earn merit. I don’t want to change my ways and learn something like violin, guitar, or bass in a strange and unorthodox way.”
"Perhaps the Queen Mother of the West noticed that I was in a bad mood, so she took the initiative to ask me why. She said that she controls the Jade Pool Immortal Palace and has some positions in her hands, but there are strict requirements for the level. If I am unhappy working in the Heavenly Court's Department of Rites and Music, I can go to her Jade Pool Immortal Palace to work after I advance to the Refinement Void Realm."
"But I know my own situation. Since becoming an immortal, my progress has been slow. I don't know when I will reach the Void Refinement stage. So I had no choice but to risk my life to participate in the God and Demon Forging. When the Queen Mother of the West heard my idea, she praised me highly on the spot."
"She said I was self-respecting, independent, and self-reliant, and that I was an immortal with ideals and potential. She not only taught me many tricks of forging gods and demons, but also personally made a life-extending clone for me. So I know that she was very supportive of immortals who dared to participate in the forging of gods and demons."
"Moreover, this Old Man of the Moon has rendered meritorious service to the Heavenly Court. If I were to make the recommendation, I think the Queen Mother of the West would be willing to create a life-extending clone for him. At the very least, she wouldn't blame me for it, would she?" Wang Zhaojun said gently.
After hearing Wang Zhaojun's introduction, Feng Huan and the others didn't know what to say. Next, Wang Zhaojun wrote a letter by hand and handed it to Wang Yao. Then, Wang Yao shaved off a lot of his hair, put it in a small purse given to him by Xiao Chan, and put it in the letter.
To create a life-extending clone, a portion of the clone's owner's body and hair is needed. Now, the Queen Mother of the West is only asked to create five clones for Wang Yao, which won't take up much of Wang Yao's hair. It won't be as bad as when the Heavenly Emperor made him bald last time.
