Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 352 The Sun Star Lord
Twenty years later, in Baiyujing.

In the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, Niu Yi, dressed in imperial robes, sat on the throne at the head of the table, while the immortals below stood on both sides, each stepping forward to report.

As Niu Yi listened, he nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

The immortals before him had only been in charge of their respective Great Daos for a few decades. Asking them to exercise the rules of the Great Dao was truly a group of novices, which made Niu Yi quite tired at first.

Fortunately, those who can comprehend the Great Dao are all talented, and under his guidance over the years, they have finally sorted out everything.

"Your Majesty, a small dragon in Jiangzhou in the mortal realm has recently stirred up trouble, attempting to transform into a dragon by riding the water, causing quite a bit of chaos."

"In my opinion, the journey that little dragon takes through water will likely cause millions of people in the lower realms to lose their homes, and countless more will lose their lives as a result."

"But if we stop this, it would be extremely difficult for that little dragon to cultivate for thousands of years, and it has never caused any disaster before."

"Therefore, I would like to ask the Heavenly Emperor to consider the difficulty of its cultivation and open the Dragon Transformation Pool, allowing it to enter and transform into a dragon to ascend to heaven. This would both demonstrate the Heavenly Emperor's benevolence and save millions of people in Jiangzhou from suffering."

Niu Yi looked down at the gray-haired Tianjizi and nodded, saying:

"Very well. Back then, when demons and monsters wreaked havoc, not many demons were affected by their demonic nature and committed evil deeds. Therefore, let's open the Dragon Transformation Pool wide. In the future, if any dragons or other creatures from rivers, lakes, or seas intend to transform into dragons, they can be led into the Dragon Transformation Pool."

Tianjizi quickly bowed and said:

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

The Dragon Transformation Pool was recently created by Niu Yi himself using the Heavenly Dao of this realm. It is extremely miraculous, especially for the many aquatic creatures that have already embarked on the path of dragon transformation.

This world has just been upgraded, and Niu Yi needs to create many things while simultaneously comprehending the Dao and fulfilling his duties as the Heavenly Emperor, which has kept him quite busy during this period.

However, these matters can be entrusted to Senior Yan after I leave this world.
Yan Chixia, the Sun Star Lord, who was sitting at the head of the table, at the very front of all the immortals, and calmly watching this scene, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, and a bad premonition appeared out of nowhere.

Yan Chixia's narrowed eyes widened instantly as he looked up at the Heavenly Emperor sitting on the throne. However, he found that the emperor was not looking at him, but rather calmly and solemnly looking at the immortals reporting below.

"No, no, that feeling just now... that kid must be plotting against me!"

Yan Chixia looked at the Heavenly Emperor at the head of the table with suspicion. In the entire Jade Capital, he was the only one who dared to look at the Heavenly Emperor with such eyes, which made Xiahou Jianke, the Taiyin Star Lord opposite him, twitch his eyebrows wildly.

"Yan Chixia is still as audacious as he was back then. Now, that frail scholar is the Heavenly Emperor who wields the power of Heaven!"

After the morning court session ended, many immortals in Baiyujing left the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, but Yan Chixia remained standing until all the immortals had left.

Before Yan Chixia could speak, Niu Yi flashed in front of him, flipped his hand, took out a jade wine bottle, and handed it to Yan Chixia with a smile.

"Senior Yan, this is lotus seed wine that I brewed a few years ago using snow lotus seeds that are ten thousand years old. Why don't you let me taste it?"

As Niu Yi spoke, he pulled the cork off the wine bottle in his hand, and a rich aroma of wine slowly wafted out, making Yan Chixia's eyes light up.

Although he has now become a deity, and even a high-ranking Sun Star Lord, he still retains his love of drinking, especially the fine wines brewed by Niu Yi.

Yan Chixia accepted the fine wine with great relish, but looked even more hesitantly at Niu Yi beside him, whose imperial robes and crown were rapidly dissolving, revealing him in a simple blue robe.

"Hey kid, what do you want me to do?" Niu Yi chuckled and pulled Yan Chixia, who was dressed in a gold and red robe, towards the outside of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

"I do have something I would like to trouble Senior Yan with, but it is not something that can be done immediately. Moreover, this matter involves many secrets, and only Senior Yan can completely put my mind at ease."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia's expression also turned serious.

"Please allow me to tell you the story slowly, Senior Yan. This matter has to start from the time in front of Lanruo Temple."

"Back when the world underwent its ascension, Senior Yan must have heard from someone that I was no longer a resident of this world. Speaking of which..."

As Niu Yi walked and talked with Yan Chixia, he told Yan Chixia about how he was originally an immortal in the Three Realms, how he was reincarnated into this world, and all the things that happened after that.
As they talked, they arrived at a cloud-top stone pavilion in Baiyujing and sat facing each other.

Yan Chixia was increasingly shocked as he listened. He had never expected that the current Heavenly Emperor had such a reason. No wonder this kid could produce the Great Sun Visualization Method and his cultivation speed was so incredible.

So, the cultivation methods practiced by the numerous immortals in the entire Jade Capital did not originate from the ruins or similar sites he had originally suspected, but rather all came from the person opposite him.
Fortunately, decades have passed, and he is no longer the same person he used to be. He has also seen many things along with Niu Yi, which is why he was able to accept everything Niu Yi said.

After Niu Yi finished recounting everything, Yan Chixia looked at the fine wine in his hand with a complicated expression and sighed softly.

Niu Yi said seriously:
"Senior Yan, all these years have passed, and I have always been grateful for your help back then. However, for this world, I cannot stay here for long."

"Therefore, before I leave, I would like to ask Senior Yan to take over the Heavenly Emperor's authority and take charge of the Heavenly Dao of this realm."

"After all, to be honest, the only person I can completely trust in this world right now is Senior Yan."

Yan Chixia looked at Niu Yi without saying a word. After a moment, he casually produced two wine cups and poured the lotus seed wine from the bottle into them.

Yan Chixia looked at the wine in the cup, where phantom images of lotus flowers were blooming, and sighed:
"If you leave, I truly don't know how long it will be before I can drink such fine wine again."

"Fine, although the throne of the Heavenly Emperor is extremely troublesome, I'll agree!"

As Yan Chixia spoke, he poured the lotus seed wine into his mouth and drank it all in one gulp!

Seeing this, Niu Yi picked up the wine glass opposite Yan Chixia and was the first to offer words of comfort:
"Senior Yan, rest assured, I have many subordinates in the Three Realms, and now a passage to the Three Realms has been established in Baiyujing."

"I will inform you of that place later, and people will come here often in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, I can help you solve them."

"Besides, it will be at least three hundred years before I leave."

Yan Chixia's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he looked at Niu Yi earnestly, saying:
“I can handle everything else, but there’s one thing I can’t do, so you have to grant me one request.”

"Senior, please tell me."

"Before you leave, brew me some more fine wine!"
