Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 319 Descending Stars and Descent to Earth
Daji naturally had no objection to Chen Xuan's arrangement; she nodded to him without hesitation.

"Rest assured, Master, Daji will absolutely not let the disciples of the Chan Sect see any flaws."

If someone else had made such a guarantee to him, Chen Xuan might not have believed it, but since these words came from Daji's mouth, Chen Xuan had no worries at all.

After all, who is Daji? She's a nine-tailed fox, and her greatest skill is deceiving the masses with sweet words. If even she can't do it, then Shang Rong has even less chance of fooling the disciples of the Chan Sect.

This was definitely a memorable day for Emperor Xin. His son had the good fortune to become a Taoist disciple, and so had his daughter-in-law.

In this way, her family was completely bound to Qinglian Island. She was no longer afraid of being abandoned by Chen Xuan.

Meanwhile, the various feudal lords had also received Emperor Xin's order to travel to Chaoge City to pay homage.

They prepared tributes and, with their guards, embarked on their journey to Chaoge City. Of course, among them were inevitably some treacherous feudal lords.

For example, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, consulted a divination before his departure. He predicted that he would suffer seven years of imprisonment on this journey.

When a great calamity is about to strike, even the wisdom of a sage will be insufficient to deduce the heavenly secrets and causes that have no direct relation to oneself.

This demonstrates the extent of Ji Chang's divination skills. While he couldn't compare to Fuxi, he was certainly among the top masters in this primordial world.

Upon learning that he would face seven years in prison, Ji Chang summoned his two sons to his side.

These two sons were none other than Ji Chang's eldest son, Boyi Kao, and his second son, Ji Fa.

Ji Chang revealed his divination results to his two sons. This caused Bo Yikao great anxiety, and he immediately offered to go to Chaoge in his father's place.

However, Ji Chang refused, saying, "This journey is a calamity for your father, and I must go through it myself."

"Moreover, if I, your father, had not experienced such a calamity, how could I have rightfully raised the banner of rebellion against the Shang Dynasty and established an everlasting foundation for our Xiqi?"

"There is one more thing you must remember: before your father returns, none of you are allowed to go to Chaoge City, or you will never return."

Bo Yikao and Ji Fa both nodded to Ji Chang, indicating that they would definitely follow their father's arrangements and would absolutely not go to Chaoge City.

After making all the arrangements, Ji Chang led his guards on the road to Chaoge City.

After traveling for only a few days, they arrived at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains. The once clear sky was suddenly filled with thunderous roars, followed by a torrential downpour.

This sudden change immediately made Ji Chang frown. He then took out tortoise shells and copper coins and began to divine the weather.

Soon, Ji Chang saw from the divination that the heavy rain would stop soon. At the same time, Ji Chang also saw from the divination that after the rain cleared, a great general would be born.

This naturally pleased Ji Chang, and as soon as the rain stopped, he sent people everywhere to search for the born general.

Sure enough, not long after, a guard brought a newborn baby to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang took the baby and, after just one glance, knew that this child was destined for greatness.

He immediately said, "I am destined to have a hundred sons, and I already have ninety-nine. Today I will take you as my adopted son to complete the number of a hundred sons."

As soon as Ji Chang finished speaking, the accompanying guards began to congratulate him on obtaining the Qilin Child.

Just then, a streak of light descended from the sky. A Taoist priest then appeared in Ji Chang's sight. The priest, with a smile on his face, approached Ji Chang, bowed, and said, "This humble Taoist, Yun Zhongzi of Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, greets the Marquis of Xibo."

Upon learning that the visitor was Yun Zhongzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Ji Chang's face instantly lit up with joy. He handed the infant in his arms to the guards and bowed to Yun Zhongzi.

"So it is Immortal Master Yun Zhongzi. I pay my respects. May I ask if Immortal Master Yun Zhongzi has come to see me with any important matters?"

Because of the original twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect in the primordial era, three of them have now entered the Daoist path. They are Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, and Cihang Daoren.

Therefore, the original Twelve Golden Immortals naturally ceased to exist. This also led to Yun Zhongzi, who was merely a nominal disciple in the original prehistoric timeline, becoming a direct disciple of the Chan Sect.

Besides Yun Zhongzi, Xiao Zhen and Deng Hua, who were also originally disciples, were also fortunate enough to become one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Therefore, Yun Zhongzi's reputation at this time is far greater than that of the Golden Immortal of Fortune in the original Primordial Era.

Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, "I have come here because of the descent of the star general. However, I am a step too late, and Lord Jun found him first."

"I wonder if Your Excellency would be willing to part with that newly born star of war and entrust him to me, so that I may take him as my personal disciple."

"It would be good to let him go down the mountain to assist you when you achieve great things."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang took the baby from the guard's hands again and respectfully presented it to Yun Zhongzi.

"It is indeed not appropriate for me to bring him along on my trip to Chaoge. Therefore, I would like to trouble you, Daoist, to take him back to the temple for instruction."

Yun Zhongzi didn't stand on ceremony and took the baby from him. Then he spoke to Ji Chang.

"Why don't you give him a name, so that when father and son meet in the future, there will be a record of their relationship?"

After thinking for a moment, Ji Chang said, "This child was born from lightning, so let's call him Lei Zhenzi."

Yun Zhongzi nodded after hearing this, then picked up Little Lei Zhenzi and rode away on a cloud.

Watching Yun Zhongzi's departing figure, Ji Chang couldn't help but smile. He then gave the order again, and the army continued its march.

Leaving aside Ji Chang leading his troops to continue towards Chaoge City, let's talk about Yun Zhongzi leading Xiao Leizhenzi towards Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain.

Before he could return to his temple, he encountered a female immortal on the way, who blocked his path.

Yun Zhongzi looked closely and recognized the female immortal opposite him. He immediately bowed and said, "I wonder why Fellow Daoist Jinling is blocking my way?"

Indeed, the person who came was none other than the Taoist disciple, Golden Spirit Holy Mother.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit bowed and said, "I have no time to block your way. If you hadn't taken my grand-disciple, I wouldn't have bothered to look at you."

Although Yun Zhongzi was furious at Jinling Shengmu's impoliteness, he dared not show it in the slightest.

After all, Yun Zhongzi's current cultivation level is only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However, the Golden Spirit Mother's cultivation level has long since reached the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and say to the Holy Mother Jinling, "This Lei Zhenzi is the adopted son of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo. He was personally handed over to me by the Marquis of Xibo so that I could take him as my disciple."
