From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 87 A bunch of opportunists arrived (First update)
You Ming looked up and saw a girl in a pale yellow dress looking at him with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

Although she wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful, her eyes and brows seemed to possess a lively quality that made her unforgettable at first sight.

"You Ming, the Lower God of Fertility and the Envoy of Twin Pregnancy Protection, greets the High Immortal."

You Ming immediately bowed respectfully. At this moment, he was in the form of a Yin spirit, with his upper body in human form, so he was able to perform the proper bow.

Although the girl in front of him looked harmless, You Ming couldn't see through her strength at all. Even if she wasn't at the True Immortal level, she was still a top-tier cultivator.

"So you are You Ming."

The girl's gaze swept over the little carp, scrutinizing it from head to toe.

You Ming felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, as if she were quite famous in this area.

"This is the first time in all these years that we have given the [Red Phoenix Star Pivot Token] to someone in the mortal realm."

A smile suddenly bloomed on the girl's face, but the scrutinizing look in her eyes faded considerably.

"Although your divine rank is somewhat low, now that you have emerged as a Yin God, you are indeed qualified to assist us, and it's not entirely because you're just taking advantage of the opportunity."

The girl seemed to be talking to You Ming, or perhaps to herself; in any case, You Ming had no chance to interrupt.

He still doesn't understand the situation.

That day, the deity only said that the [Red Phoenix Star Pivot Order] would guide him to the Heavenly Realm, but didn't say what it was specifically for.

“My name is He Sutang, and I am the Weaver Girl of the Red Phoenix Star. You will be my assistant, responsible for drawing the thread, tying knots, or cutting the silk.”

The girl patted Youming's head and pinched his chubby cheeks.

Although You Ming's Yin spirit appearance looked like that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, she could tell at a glance that the little carp was not as old as it looked.

You Ming knew nothing and couldn't ask anything, so he could only nod blankly.

……

You Ming was like a poor relative from the countryside, always following behind He Sutang. Occasionally, when they encountered curious glances, He Sutang would introduce him to the person.

When the crowd heard that he was a minor deity from the mortal realm, they were slightly surprised at first, but quickly stopped paying attention to him.

After all, the gods in the mortal realm have almost no opportunity to communicate with the gods in the celestial realm. It is estimated that after this Qixi Festival, they may never cross paths again in their entire lives.

However, through snippets of conversation, You Ming gradually gained some understanding of his surroundings.

This place is the Red Phoenix Star.

Besides the vast land in the center of the celestial realm, there are countless stars floating in the sky.

Every star has a celestial lord who resides there.

The owner of this Red Phoenix Star today is Suwei Star Lord, who is also known as the Weaver Girl in the human world.

In fact, the Weaver Girl is a profession. There are seven Weaver Girls on the Red Phoenix Star, corresponding to the seven looms of the "Seven Balances of Destiny".

The so-called "Seven Balances Weaving Fate" is the enormous spinning machine that You Ming saw at the beginning.

Entering the Celestial Realm for the first time, even though this was only the outskirts of the Celestial Realm, You Ming still felt that everything was new and exciting.

He even secretly wanted to breathe in some immortal energy to see if he could improve his cultivation level.

The answer is... no.

Immortal energy is a power significantly higher than spiritual energy; you can't perceive it at all unless you reach a certain level. You Ming at most felt that the concentration of spiritual energy here was a bit higher, but it wasn't like he imagined, where the spiritual energy directly condensed into a thick fog that you could inhale however you wanted.

"Then...what is that?"

As You Ming looked around, he looked up and saw the sky above the Red Phoenix Star rippling like waves.

A ship that looked like it was made of white jade slowly flew out from the ripples, and then streaks of mysterious light flew away and landed in various parts of the square, transforming into young men and women dressed in silver-white robes.

Their eyes were filled with undisguised excitement as they gazed at the enormous [Seven Balances of Fate], their eyes brimming with awe.

He Sutang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"They come here every year to try and get a chance, but they can't help at all. It's so annoying."

She muttered something under her breath, which You Ming heard clearly.

But he didn't know what He Sutang meant by those words.

"Our little carp is the best; she's genuinely here to help. When you leave, I'll give you a gift."

Compared to him, He Sutang found You Ming even more pleasing to the eye.

"Who...are they? What do they mean by trying to ride this wave of opportunity?"

You Ming couldn't help but interject, as he had too many questions on his mind at that moment.

“Our Seven Balances Weaving Fate not only weaves human relationships, but also subtly aligns with the web of fate for all living beings. If a Xuan Guang cultivator wants to break through to the Yin God realm, he must observe himself, but most cultivators lack self-awareness and are therefore unable to take this step.”

"However, if one uses a loom, one can trigger the self-reflection deep within one's consciousness, glimpse various changes in the past and future, and help cultivators see the true form of the hidden Yin spirit."

"Therefore, every year around this time, a group of Xuan Guang cultivators come to freeload at the loom. They are supposed to be here to help, but they don't actually do any work. They're not even qualified to be a simple boy who pulls the thread and ties knots; they just cause us trouble."

Mentioning this matter only made He Sutang more and more unhappy.

You Ming felt somewhat embarrassed. If he hadn't broken through a few days ago, he would probably be one of those people trying to take advantage of the opportunity.

However, he also realized something profound.

He thought that with the cheat code, his cultivation would proceed smoothly, saving him a lot of time compared to others at many hurdles. But in reality, the world is vast, and although he was cheating, others also had "money power."

It has to be said, being a cultivator in the immortal realm is truly convenient.

Such a practice of cultivating using the [Seven Balances Weaving Fate] loom is something that cultivators in the lower realms probably could never even dream of.

As time went by, more and more cultivators came to [Red Phoenix Star].

It's clear these people don't belong to the same faction, at least their clothing is quite different. But what they have in common is that their clothes all look very expensive, suggesting they each come from a powerful organization.

"You'll meet up with those cultivators in a bit and wait for instructions. But don't be too reserved. Although you're from the lower realm, you're here to help, while they're here to take advantage of the opportunity. There's no need to be polite to them."

"If they say anything offensive, just beat them up. As long as you don't kill anyone, it's all on me."

He Sutang knew what kind of people these kids at the Profound Light Realm were, so she gave You Ming a few words of advice.

As one of the seven great weavers, she naturally had the confidence to say such a thing.

You Ming nodded, but he was determined not to get into conflicts with anyone.

We're both over 30 years old, spanning two lifetimes, so there's no need for us to lower ourselves to the level of a bunch of kids.
