A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 129: Speaking out of integrity

Shangqing Realm.

The Water and Fire Child stood beside the Celestial Venerable Lingbao.

As Tong'er looked at the Mysterious Mirror that Lingbao Tianzun had used, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Master, shouldn't you be siding with Senior Brother Cat?"

"After all, the reason why Senior Brother Cat did such a thing was because Wen Zhong went too far, which caused him to harbor resentment."

Lingbao Tianzun smiled faintly and raised his hand to gently stroke his beard.

From the child's perspective, that is indeed the case, but that is only what the Water and Fire Children see.

But in Lingbao Tianzun's eyes, he saw more than just this little cat.

The order of the Three Realms must not be disrupted.

The immortals and gods in Heaven can have minor squabbles with each other, and the humans, immortals, demons, and monsters of the Three Realms can also fight fiercely, but as the saying goes, order must not be disrupted.

The stability of the Three Realms is a state that has evolved over many eons since the beginning of time.

Whether for all living things, or for humans, immortals, demons, or monsters, the current situation is the best possible one.

Su Bai stole the Thunder Department's magical treasure, and the Three Realms will be affected if there is no thunder for a day.

From the perspective of ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with not having thunder for a year.

However, from the perspective of the Heavenly Court, what may seem like a negligible influence to mortals can have a tremendous chain reaction.

Thunder gives birth to all things.

If thunder does not sound, nothing will grow.

And demons will inevitably cause trouble.

In this way, how many lives will be crushed by this enormous snowball?

Su Bai couldn't see through this, but Lingbao Tianzun wouldn't blame him for it, because he was just a clueless kid.

It's truly unacceptable that even the Water and Fire Child doesn't understand such a simple principle.

"Child, have you slacked off in your cultivation lately?"

Water and Fire Child was slightly taken aback, then looked up at the Heavenly Venerable and said, "This disciple has been diligently cultivating these past few days and has never slacked off."

"Practice alone is not enough; you must also cultivate your mind."

"The myriad things in heaven and earth, the ultimate principles of the universe, cannot be comprehended by you simply by staying cooped up in this great hall."

"You need to broaden your horizons further; only then can you truly understand it."

The Water and Fire Child scratched his head in confusion. He felt that his master was giving him a hint, but it also seemed like he was being scolded.

Although puzzled, the child did not say much. He lowered his head slightly, pondering the meaning of what the Heavenly Venerable had just said.

A land of nothingness.

On the wall of the Taoist temple, Jinwu stared intently at Su Bai, who rushed out from inside the wall.

Although no injuries were visible on his body, his panting appearance suggested that the cat had been chased back by someone.

Su Bai stood in front of the wall, licking his fur repeatedly to relieve his tension.

Just as I was relaxing, I suddenly noticed the golden crow on the wall.

A cat and a bird stared straight at each other.

"What are you looking at?" Su Bai's face turned cold.

"What are you looking at?" the golden crow flapped its wings.

-

This was the second time he had seen Su Bai flee back in such a disheveled state, and for some reason, seeing this scene made him feel a faint sense of happiness.

Whenever he recalled being slammed to the ground by Su Bai's claw, a trace of resentment would rise deep within him.

But for some reason, this resentment always dissipates quickly.

Although he no longer harbored resentment, this did not prevent him from delivering a substantial form of mockery to Su Bai.

"You were sent back?"

I told you to take me with you, but you wouldn't. If you had just asked that old man, he would have definitely agreed.

Su Bai glanced at him, rolled her eyes, and said, "You ungrateful wretch, I'm keeping you indoors for your own good, and you're still arguing with me?"

"You can't even beat me. If you go to the outside world, you'll just be beaten to a pulp, won't you?"

As they were talking, Wanling came out, picked up Su Bai, looked up at Jinwu and said, "Senior brother is right. In the Three Realms, apart from the sun that Jinwu transformed into in the sky, the Jinwu race has been wiped out."

"If you appear in the Three Realms, you will be noticed immediately. If you do not have a powerful figure to help you in the Three Realms, you will be captured the moment you appear."

Jinwu was clearly somewhat skeptical.

He could reign supreme in this endless mountain range, and all the monsters in the mountain range had to call him the Third King.

Although they are the third oldest, they are not bad at all.

Compared to Su Bai, the Great King, his prestige as the Third King was obviously much higher.

If he went to the outside world, he believed he could definitely escape from the masters that Wanling had mentioned.

Then find a suitable place for him and quietly wait for his rise.

But as this thought began to take root, Jinwu suddenly shook his head violently.

He knew exactly what was going on.

It's obvious without even thinking that this must be the power of his bloodline starting to cause trouble.

Whenever he wanted to go to the outside world, the fragments of consciousness hidden in his bloodline would start to stir, constantly urging him to go to a wider world.

Even in his mind, various memories from ancient times would constantly surface.

Jinwu clearly saw himself standing above the clouds.

Beneath the clouds, countless powerful demons shouted in unison.

Just as he was about to straighten his chest and roar to the sky, he suddenly heard Su Bai's voice in his ear.

"Taiyi, it's so cold, come and help us warm up."

A hint of coldness flashed in Jinwu's eyes, and the moment he turned around, he looked at Su Bai with extremely icy eyes.

But its wings started flapping involuntarily, and then it landed beside Wanling and Su Bai.

"How's the temperature?"

Nestled in Wanling's arms, feeling the warmth emanating from the golden crow, Su Bai couldn't help but nod and say, "Not bad, not bad."

Wanling covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Aside from saints, she was perhaps the only one who could sense that people or beasts who got closer to her cat brother would undergo different changes.

It seems that Senior Brother Cat possesses a unique power that can easily suppress the resentment left deep within the souls of these deceased spirits from the past.

Perhaps even the Golden Crow itself was unaware of the changes that had occurred to it.

Inside the house, the old Taoist priest, wrapped in a quilt, slowly walked out.

Just as he was about to head to his rocking chair, he found Wan Ling lying there with Su Bai in her arms.

The seasons and climate of the Void Realm are not as orderly as those of the Three Realms.

Everything here comes from these saints.

Similarly, the seasons and climate here also change according to the sage's mood.

It may be summer outside, but the Void might be winter.

If the old Taoist priest were in a good mood one day, the area around this mountain range might suddenly turn into springtime.

The old Taoist priest tiptoed closer, watching the man and the cat snuggling together, and then looking at the golden crow on the rocking chair armrest, swaying and releasing the power of the sun. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He pulled off the blanket from his body and gently covered the person and the cat.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back into the house, he suddenly heard a strange, sarcastic voice.

"Junior brother, your disciples don't seem to be all that great."

"In my opinion, now that they have become gods in the Heavenly Court, they have probably long forgotten that they came from the Jie Sect."

"How could I possibly notice this little brat?"

"In that case, they are not as good as my two disciples and their grand-disciples."
