I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 103: The Enlightened Immortal with Long Ears

Yuan Gang held his child in his arms and saw that the child was fair and delicate, like a piece of jade. His eyes were full of vitality, and there was a faint purple star on his forehead. He looked incredibly noble.

Yuan Gang asked in surprise, "Jin'er, have you ever seen a purple aura descending from the sky?"

"My lord, I haven't seen any purple aura," Jin'er replied, puzzled.

"That's strange. Could it be that I was mistaken?" Yuan Gang wondered. He clearly saw the purple aura coming from the east and entering the delivery room.

Before long, a military officer came to report, "My lord, there is a Daoist outside requesting an audience."

Nowadays, the Daoist sect is flourishing, so Yuan Gang didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly said, "Please bring him in. I will wait in the hall."

The officer quickly brought the Daoist in.

The Daoist was dressed in a robe made of water clouds, with a purple gold crown on his head and cloud-patterned shoes. He walked straight to the hall and said to Yuan Gang, "My lord, I pay my respects."

Yuan Gang quickly returned the gesture and invited the Daoist to take a seat.

Xia Yi, not being modest, sat down.

Yuan Gang asked, "May I know the name of the immortal and the Cave Mansion you come from? What brings you here today?"

Xia Yi held a dust brush and said, "I am the Heavenly World True Immortal. I heard that my lord has given birth to a son, so I came to congratulate you. I would like to take a look at the child, if you don't mind."

Upon hearing the Daoist's words, Yuan Gang called for Jin'er to bring the child out.

Jin'er brought the child out and handed him to Xia Yi. Xia Yi took a look and asked, "At what hour was this child born?"

"Around the hour of Hai," Jin'er replied.

Xia Yi smiled and said, "Congratulations, my lord. Your noble son is the incarnation of the Purple Star, possessing the aura of an emperor."

"Immortal, are you trying to harm me?" Yuan Gang was greatly shocked.

"My lord, please don't be afraid. The fate of the Great Shang Dynasty has come to an end, and your noble son is the reincarnation of the Emperor Star, carrying the heavenly mandate," Xia Yi explained. He then took out a golden longsword and a jade dragon seal, saying, "This is the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword and the Jade Dragon Seal, the treasures that once belonged to the Xia Dynasty. I present them to your noble son."

The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword and the Jade Dragon Seal were spoils of war from the time when Cheng Tang overthrew the Xia Dynasty. They had been kept in the treasury for countless years.

Now they were taken out to suppress the luck of the Gong Kingdom.

"Thank you, Immortal!" Yuan Gang was both shocked and delighted. He said, "Please give my son a name, Immortal."

Xia Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Let this child be named Yuan Yuan."

After saying that, Xia Yi turned into a golden light and disappeared.

"My lord, please don't worry. Your noble son is destined for greatness. When the time comes, he will have the support of countless immortals," Xia Yi's voice echoed.

"Does my son really have the potential to become an emperor?" Yuan Gang looked at his child with a joyful expression.

Afterwards, he ordered the guards to be vigilant at the passes, trained the soldiers, and prepared for an eastern expedition at all times.

Time flew by, and without realizing it, ten years had passed.

Princess Chang of Xi Qi paid her respects to Jiang Ziya and appointed him as her prime minister to suppress Chong Hou Hu.

Later, it was heard that the Grand Marshal sent Hong Jin, the commander of the Three Mountains Pass, to march westward against Xi Qi.

Jiang Ziya obtained the Conferred Divinity List from the Yu Xu Palace and happened to encounter Hong Jin, who was fighting against Nezha.

Hong Jin was skilled in the art of flag manipulation, and his mount, the Whale Dragon, was an extraordinary beast. He was incredibly brave.

But how could he be a match for Nezha? With a strike from the Qian Kun Ring on his right shoulder, he had no choice but to retreat with injuries.

The Shang army suffered heavy casualties, with corpses and blood flowing everywhere.

Hong Jin fled to Xi Qi Mountain overnight, regrouped his defeated troops, wrote a military report, and sent it to Chao Ge.

It is said that Hong Jin sent an officer to Chao Ge, delivering the written report to the Grand Marshal's residence.

Upon opening the letter, Wen Taishi hurriedly went to ask Xia Yi, "Guoshi, you sent Hong Jin as the general, but he returned in defeat. What should we do? Should we directly let the Western Qi army enter the pass?"

"I have heard that the Saint of Tongtian has seven immortal attendants with boundless magical powers. Taishi, you can invite one or two of them to personally go to battle!" Xia Yi calmly said.

Wen Zhong frowned and said, "The seven immortals of the Biyou Palace are all very unruly due to their service to the Saint since ancient times. Although I am a disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, it is difficult for me to persuade those senior brothers and sisters to come."

Xia Yi sneered, "No worries, you can take the Qingping Sword with you. Who would dare not come?"

"I just happen to have this sword!"

Wen Zhong was overjoyed, took the Qingping Sword, and then rode on the Ink Qilin, hanging two male and female silk whips. He lightly tapped the head of the mount with the whips, and the Ink Qilin's four hooves rose up black clouds, instantly reaching a distance of thousands of miles.

Its flying speed was no less than Xia Yi's Aquatic Golden Beast.

Soon, they arrived at the East Sea.

They saw the waves rolling and the mist surging, with an immortal island standing in front.

Wen Taishi landed his mount on the Golden Turtle Island and entered the island.

The leader of the Tongtian Sect had long been in seclusion deep inside the Biyou Palace, with two children guarding the gate, preventing anyone from entering.

Wen Zhong naturally knew this, so he did not go to the Biyou Palace, but went to a Cave Mansion on the island.

"Third-generation disciple Wen Zhong, requesting an audience with Senior Brother Dingguang!"

Wen Zhong respectfully said.

After a while, a voice came, "Come in!"

Upon entering, he found two Daoists playing chess.

"Greetings to Senior Brother Dingguang and Senior Brother Qiu Shou!" Wen Zhong said.

"Nephew, why are you not in charge of the Grand Shang Dynasty and come to bother this poor Daoist?" Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears asked.

Wen Zhong said, "Now, under the Martial King of the Western Qi, Jiang Ziya, who is under the Jade Void Sect, is causing chaos. Hong Jin was sent to lead the troops but failed to win. I beg Senior Brother Dingguang to help the weak and oppressed, to eliminate the strong and violent. It is Wen Zhong's great fortune to have you."

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears said, "Why don't you consult your master, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother?"

"My master is in seclusion for cultivation, and it is not appropriate to disturb her!"

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears became a little impatient and said, "We are here to serve the Saint. Where is there time to deal with worldly matters?"

"The Jiejiao Sect and the Grand Shang Dynasty are connected by fate. I ask Senior Brothers to lend a hand!" Wen Zhong once again bowed.

"Leave quickly and don't disturb our interest!" Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears shouted.

Wen Zhong sighed and said, "In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Immediately, he took out an ancient green sword.

"How can the Qingping Sword be in your hands?"

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears and Qiu Shou Immortal were both shocked. They had served the Tongtian Sect's leader for countless years and naturally recognized the aura of the Qingping Sword.

"This was bestowed by the Grand Shang National Teacher to command the tens of thousands of immortals of the Jiejiao Sect. This time, the Grand Shang National Teacher asked me to come and invite Senior Brother Dingguang to come down the mountain and help the Shang Dynasty!" Wen Zhong said.

"The Grand Shang National Teacher? Who is that?"

"The master actually gave the Qingping Sword to an outsider to command the tens of thousands of immortals of the Jiejiao Sect. It really doesn't make sense!" Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears and Qiu Shou Immortal were both greatly surprised.

"Please hurry down the mountain, Senior Brother Dingguang. I still need to go and invite the Qi Immortal Horse Yuan, the Winged Immortal, and Lü Yue from the Nine Dragon Island!"

After saying that, Wen Zhong floated away.

"Senior Brother, the Grand Shang National Teacher holds the Qingping Sword and wants you to go down the mountain to help the Shang Dynasty. Are you going or not?" Qiu Shou Immortal asked.

Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears' face was somewhat gloomy and uncertain. The great calamity was about to come, and the mortal realm was like a muddy water. If he went down the mountain, he would inevitably face calamity.

Originally, he thought that hiding on Golden Turtle Island would allow him to rest easy, but who knew that trouble would actively come knocking on his door.

"Of course I'm going! The Qingping Sword represents the will of the master. How can I go against the master's will?" Dingguang Immortal with Long Ears gritted his teeth.

Immediately, he took a Law Treasure from the cave, descended the mountain, and set sail.

Thank you for the generous support from Xu Ershu!
