Chapter 182 A Small Show

Inside a private guest room on the north peak of Wangshenlou.

A woman in red was angrily smashing tea sets in the room, and the expensive carpet was covered with broken porcelain shards.

This person was none other than Hongye, Hongshuang's younger sister.

Behind her stood a beautiful young woman, her eldest cousin "Hongxing," who had already cultivated to the Pseudo-God Realm but was still unable to successfully complete her scripture writing.

The reason Hongxing was here was that Suxintang and the Hong family had almost reached an agreement, with Suxintang essentially promising Hongye a position as a personal attendant. She was there to accompany Hongye to her new post.

I thought this would be an easy job.

Unexpectedly, first the incident of black mist emanating from Su Xintang's Dao Wheel occurred. Now, rumors are circulating that a plague demon and a monstrous beast are present in the Broken Dam.

With both factors combined, Hongye started to get emotional.

To be precise, she changed her mind; she no longer wanted to be a sacrificial attendant for Su Xintang.

Inside the room, after throwing things around, she turned to Hongxing and said, "Elder sister, I can't be a sacrificial offering for Su Xintang; that's like going to my death!"

"Watch your words!" Hongxing frowned.

"Big sister, you've always been the one who's loved me the most since I was little. You can't just watch me go and die, can you?"

Why do you keep using the word "death" in every sentence?

"That's a second-round plague demon, whose combat power is almost on par with a third-round spirit god when it goes berserk, and there's also an adult stag beetle. These two have already scared away eleven spirit gods from Broken Dam. If I go there, how will I survive?"

"Even the Savior God might not go; isn't He afraid?"

After saying that, Hongxing added, "Also, there are many sisters and brothers in the clan. You are only able to do this because of Hongshuang. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know how many years you will have to wait to become a sacrificial attendant again."

“How could that be? I heard that the clan has been trying to get Hongyue a position as a secondary deity of the ‘Three Yuan Lake Spirit God’ lately. Let her switch with me.” Hongye said with a smile.

"What kind of talk is that?" Hongxing's face darkened.

"Sanyuan Lake is a regional title, the worst kind of title. How can it be compared to Salvation from Suffering? I'll trade with Hongyue; she'll get a huge profit!"

"Do you think the Savior of Suffering is your mother? You think she'll just grant your wish to have someone serve as her attendant? Besides, you don't want to go to your death, so you want Red Moon to go to hers?"

"She's an illegitimate daughter; the clan has already shown her immense kindness by making plans for her. How dare she complain? If she's dissatisfied, she can do what Hongshuang did and go explore the Dream Realm herself," Hongye said matter-of-factly.

"Don't mention this matter again!" Hongxing shook her head. The clan's plans have always been arranged according to the age of the Divine Embryo clan members. Now it just so happens to be Hongyue's turn. How can it be changed?
"Big sister..." Hongye said anxiously.

"Shut up. Let me first find out what the Goddess of Salvation is thinking. If she doesn't want to break the dam, you can go down to the mortal world with her without worry."

"What if she wants to go?"

“Then I must report to the elders of the clan and let them make a decision. The God of Salvation has already agreed to let you participate in the sacrifice. If you go back on your word at the last minute, where will you put the face of the God of Salvation? Where will you put the face of Hong Shuang?”

After saying that, Hongye thought for a moment, then took out a storage talisman from the talisman pouch in her bosom and put it in a box.

That's right, the Celestial Realm does have storage-type magical artifacts, mainly storage talismans, but these are completely incomparable to the Mustard Seed Capacity and the Sumeru.

Firstly, retrieving storage talismans is very time-consuming.

Even the smallest items require at least five minutes to seal and five minutes to retrieve, with larger items taking even longer. This is not conducive to the need for immediate retrieval during combat.

Therefore, commonly used magical artifacts are generally not sealed inside talismans. The concern is that in the event of a fight, the artifacts might not be available.

But the true gods don't have so many troubles; they basically just take what they have.

Most importantly, there is absolutely no risk of losing anything in the Mustard Space unless you die.

However, if the sealing talisman is broken, the things sealed inside cannot be retrieved. Therefore, the Celestial Realm also sells "protective talisman packs" of various grades.

Interestingly, when a true god falls, his Jie Na space transforms into the Jie Na Secret Realm.

If we can find the entrance to the Secret Realm of Jiena, we might be able to obtain some valuable items stored up by the righteous god during his lifetime.

Furthermore, items lost due to damaged storage talismans will randomly reappear in various Jie Na Secret Realms.

Many people accidentally entered the secret realm and made a fortune.

After all, over the hundreds of thousands of years, countless righteous gods have perished and countless sealing talismans have been destroyed in the He Gu region.

Another interesting thing is that the larger denomination coins in the celestial realm are also a type of storage talisman, which contains a general equivalent to the face value of the coins.

The general equivalent is mainly "spiritual jade", but there are some others as well.

Fifteen minutes later...

Hongxing stood at the entrance of Suxintang's cave, holding a box containing storage talismans in her hands, and said, "Your Excellency, I, Hongxing, request an audience."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

Yu Xuanchen, in human form, came out and greeted Hongxing before leading her inside.

They arrived at the living room of the cave dwelling.

Hongxing saw Suxintang sitting cross-legged on a futon.

At this moment, Su Xintang did not release incense or Taoist prayer wheels, which made Hongxing have a bad feeling.

However, she showed no ill will on the surface, and respectfully held the box, saying:
"Your Excellency, I have come at the request of my elders to discuss the matter of my younger sister, Hongye, being chosen as a companion in the sacrificial ceremony. This is my first visit, and I have prepared a small gift. I hope Your Excellency will accept it with a smile."

“I know your younger sister Hongshuang, and I was also entertained by your father some time ago, so you don’t need to be so polite.” Su Xintang smiled and gestured for Yu Xuanchen to accept the gift.

This is something we should accept; it would be better not to. However, there probably isn't anything particularly valuable inside.

Seeing that Su Xintang accepted the gifts, Hongxing started chatting about everyday things again. She was the previous goddess of the Hong family, and only stepped down after descending to the mortal world to serve as a sacrificial attendant.

Therefore, they are quite good at socializing.

We chatted for fifteen minutes, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Taking this opportunity, Hongxing finally got to the point, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, when the Venerable God burned the true scriptures and attained his divine position last time, my grandfather came to see it in person."

After my grandfather returned home, he always encouraged us by taking the revered deity as our role model. Especially me, having wasted decades and burned scriptures four times, I still haven't received Heaven's approval; I am truly ashamed.

"The opportunity hasn't come yet, but with your intelligence, you will surely succeed."

“Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. My grandfather has been saying that if Your Majesty could come to Chong Kingdom under His rule and establish a temple, then the people of Chong Kingdom would be blessed.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang instantly realized Hongxing's true purpose.

So he deliberately laughed and said, "I am ashamed, how can I be worthy of such great favor from the God of Chongning?"

"I wonder if Your Excellency intends to establish a Taoist temple in Chongguo?" Hongxing asked, seizing the opportunity. Her righteous grandfather did indeed have this idea, so she wasn't acting on her own initiative.

“My fiefdom is in Poyan; I’m afraid I can’t go anywhere else,” Su Xintang said without hesitation.

“But I heard that the dam has broken…” Hongxing hesitated.

Su Xintang stopped beating around the bush and asked directly, "But what are your sister Hongye's thoughts?"

“Absolutely not. Hongye has always regarded the Venerable God as her role model. If it weren’t for the fact that the time hadn’t come yet, she would wish to be by the Venerable God’s side day and night, listening to the Venerable God’s teachings.” Hongxing immediately denied it.

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang smiled noncommittally.

He then got up from the prayer mat, walked around with his hands behind his back, and said, "This journey to break the dam will surely be fraught with difficulties and dangers. If your sister has any concerns, I can understand. You need not worry."

“This…” Hongxing was speechless, and deliberately so. She had to show in advance that Hongye was indeed afraid.

"However, the matter of accompanying the sacrificial animals was discussed with your father, so you should inform him of this matter. I will be leaving the island in a few days."

"I will pass on these words to the elders of the clan. Well then... this disciple will take her leave now." Since things had been said to this extent, Hongxing naturally couldn't say anything more.

He clenched his fists, took a few steps back, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Su Xintang called out to her again.

Hongxing was puzzled and looked up, about to ask something, when she saw Suxintang wave her hand and an exquisite full-length dressing mirror float towards her.

Hongxing quickly held it up with her hands.

It would have been better if it hadn't been delayed, because once it started, she realized something was wrong.

Not a magic weapon?

It wasn't even a magic artifact.

It's just a glass mirror?

What does it mean to give yourself a glass mirror?
"This is just a mirror for ordinary people, nothing mysterious about it. You just said that you burned the scriptures four times but still failed. Why don't you live like an ordinary person for a few years and maybe you will gain something?"

"This thing is meant to serve as a reminder. Every day, I'll straighten my clothes in front of it and treat the person in the mirror as an ordinary person." Su Xintang said, feigning profoundness and spouting nonsense.

Her main purpose was actually to demonstrate the means by which Mustard Seed contains Mount Sumeru.

But Hongxing was completely taken aback by her sudden performance, her mind preoccupied with what she had just said, and she paid no attention to anything else.

"Go ahead." Su Xintang waved her hand again.

"Thank you for the treasure, Your Majesty." Hongxing came to her senses and quickly bowed.

Seeing this, Su Xintang reached out and took the gift that Hongxing had just given her into her Jie Na space.

“???” Now, Hongxing finally realized that something was wrong.

She stared blankly at Su Xintang's hand, then blankly turned her gaze to the mirror in her own hand.

That's not right.

Such a large, mundane object, unlike magical artifacts that can shrink, where did she pull it out from?

Where did she put the box again?
Without time to think further, she could only ponder and take her leave.

As she stepped outside and began sealing the mirror with a storage talisman, four words finally popped into her mind—"Mustard contains Mount Sumeru?"
"impossible!"

"impossible!"

"How could she possibly be?"

Hongxing's thoughts were completely in disarray. After hastily sealing the mirror, she quickly flew towards the Wangshen Tower, intending to tell the elders of her clan everything that had happened that day.

Inside the cave.

Su Xintang, smiling, contacted Meng Bai using butterflies: "How was my performance?"

"That's not enough. Just showing it to her alone isn't enough. I'm going to find you a chance to show off more."
