Chaos Spirit Field

When Zhunti Taoist heard Zhao Shanhe's words, he felt a sudden chill down his spine. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that he was truly old and no longer worthy of being in such a despicable circle. If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun taking him in first, such an outstanding seedling would have been tailor-made for the Western Religion, and he was also a person of merit. It was truly a pity.

"Junior apprentice brother, I have been traveling recently. See you again if the chance arises." After saying this, the Taoist Zhunti turned and left.

Zhao Shanhe looked at the receding figure of Zhunti Taoist and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If only his master Yuanshi Tianzun could be as shameless as this saint, then he could take him to visit everywhere and maybe there would be a chance to cultivate a blue-level chaotic spirit field. It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

"Brother Baihe, let's go back."

On their way back, Zhao Shanhe caught a glimpse of Zhunti Taoist seducing a young child. He couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Baihe, whose child is this? The adults are so irresponsible, aren't they afraid of encountering human traffickers?"

The White Crane Boy replied, "Junior brother, I've seen that child in Yaochi. He's the son of the Queen Mother of Heaven, named Yang Nianhe. He's full of trouble, so please don't mess with him."

Zhao Shanhe didn't wait for Baihe Tongzi to finish his words before rushing over. The son of the Queen of Heaven—that must be his son, right? How could he become a monk? Wouldn't that cut off the Zhao family's lineage? He approached Zhunti Taoist and said with a smile, "Uncle Master, what a fate we meet again. Nianhe, why did you come out to see me alone? Does your mother know? I'll ask your Grand Master, Yuanshi Tianzun, to build a teleportation formation in Yaochi to prevent you from getting lost again."

Yang Nianhe always felt that the old man's words were not very reliable. Being a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun would not be bad, especially since this cheap master was as handsome as himself. He said with a tearful voice, "Master, Nianhe came out to look for you, but I can't find the way home. This old man wants to persuade me to join Buddhism."

Zhao Shanhe secretly admired him, worthy of being his son, possessing a natural talent for acting. He sternly scolded him, "Nianhe, don't be rude. This is the Saint Zhunti. Joining Buddhism is actually quite good. Shaving your head is especially refreshing, eating vegetarian food and chanting sutras every day, not afraid of gaining weight, and having something to do every day. It's really interesting."

Yang Nianhe was initially tempted by the old man's claim to be a saint, but after hearing what his cheap master said, he shook his head like a rattle and said righteously, "Master, since I've already joined the Yuxu Palace, how can I switch to another sect?"

Having his apprentice snatched away, the Taoist Zhunti felt as relieved as eating watermelon in the dog days of summer. This cunning brat had finally been caught; let's see how he ends up. So he said, "Zilong, nephew, do you know Yang Nianhe's identity?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Master Zhunti, everything has to be based on a first come, first served order. It doesn't matter what Yang Nianhe's status is. If you're not afraid of him, how could my Master be afraid?"

Zhunti Taoist was not angry. He said, "Zilong, my nephew, you are acting so recklessly. Does Yuanshi Tianzun know about this?"

"Uncle Master Zhunti, I am the deputy headmaster of Yuxu Palace. I can still do this."

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun arrived and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, how are you? You came to Kunlun and didn't even mention visiting Yuxu Palace. My disciple is young and energetic, and sometimes he doesn't know how to talk. Don't take it to heart."

Taoist Zhunti said, "Brother Yuanshi, congratulations to the Deputy Master of Yuxu Palace for accepting a good disciple. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore."

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand and led the group back to Yuxu Palace. He had the White Crane Boy take Yang Nianhe away, leaving Zhao Shanhe alone. He said, "Zhao Zilong, do you admit your guilt?"

Zhao Shanhe quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Master, I shouldn't have used your name to deceive people outside, falsely claiming to be the Deputy Headmaster of Yuxu Palace."

Yuanshi Tianzun said angrily, "Get up, don't act pitiful anymore. You are the deputy headmaster. Yang Nianhe's identity is a big problem. The Queen Mother once asked me to be her master, but I refused. But you are so good as to snatch him from Zhunti Taoist."

"Master, that old bastard is so insidious. He actually set a trap for me. He doesn't have the demeanor of a senior at all."

Yuanshi Tianzun gently tapped Zhao Shanhe and said unhappily, "Stop your nonsense! How dare you insult a saint? That old bastard Zhunti may be a worthless person, but he's still a saint after all. Now that his status has been determined, it's really giving me a headache!"

Zhao Shanhe asked doubtfully, "Master, what is Yang Nianhe's identity? Why does he worry you so much?"

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and said slowly, "It's okay for me to tell you. Yang Nianhe is the son born to a mortal man after the Queen of Heaven descended to the mortal world."

Zhao Shanhe was surprised and asked, "Master, who is so bold as to cuckold the Emperor of Heaven?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "That man's name is Zhao Shanhe, and he has been killed by Wen Zhong. Coincidentally, he has the same name as you, and he's also from the world of immortal cultivation. Have you heard of him?"

Zhao Shanhe's expression remained unchanged, but he was actually panicking. He replied truthfully, "Master, I've heard of the Zhao Shanhe you mentioned. He's a legend in the world of immortal cultivation, having single-handedly broken through the demon realm. I heard he ascended to heaven, but I didn't expect he'd actually died. I have some connection to him. I still remember when I was eight years old, with my hands in my pockets, looking up at the sky. Suddenly, a person fell from the sky and turned to ash, leaving behind treasures on the ground, including secret manuals and elixirs. That was the beginning of my journey to immortality. Now it seems that person must be Zhao Shanhe's corpse. I guess this favor will be repaid to his son."

Yuanshi Tianzun counted with his fingers and found that Zhao Shanhe was not lying. The two were not the same person due to the age difference. His doubts were dispelled. He could only say that the Chaos Spirit Field was so magical that it could even deceive saints.

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun didn't ask any more questions, Zhao Shanhe knew he had passed the test. He feigned composure and said, "Master, as the saying goes, 'When an enemy comes, a general will meet him; when a flood comes, earth will cover it.' How dare you, a sage, fear the Emperor of Heaven? I wasn't so easily fooled to begin with. It's all the fault of that old bastard Zhunti. If he hadn't snatched my innate spiritual treasure right away, I wouldn't have been so resentful. I fell for his trick. It's truly impossible to guard against it."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked puzzled and asked, "Zilong, where did you get the innate spiritual treasure?"

"Master, this is the Mountain and River Ring you refined for me!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes widened in shock, and he hurriedly said, "Show it to me quickly, you stingy guy, how can I still accept yours?"

Zhao Shanhe carefully took out the Mountain and River Ring and handed it to Yuanshi Tianzun. After Yuanshi Tianzun took it, he looked at the Mountain and River Ring carefully, and then asked in shock: "How did you do it?"

Zhao Shanhe scratched his head, gave an awkward smile, and replied sheepishly, "Master, I originally planned to use the thunder tribulation to refine the Mountain and River Ring, but because you refined it so perfectly, I couldn't find a place to start. So, I thought of the scene when refining the elixir and tried to inject a large amount of good fortune energy into it. As a result, it actually advanced."

Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but admire and said: "So that's how it is, you are really a genius."
