Chapter 279: Father, You Must Be More Powerful Than That Bird!

Donghuang Ziyou hurriedly moved her feet away and took half a step back.

Lin Xuan reached out and pulled her. “There’s a sharp stone behind you. Be careful.”

Although he knew that Donghuang Ziyou wasn’t afraid of being stabbed, Lin Xuan felt that it was better to remind her.

After all, the little girls were watching. He had to let them feel the love between parents.

Donghuang Ziyou turned around and took a look. There were indeed many sharp stones in the water behind her.

With her delicate skin, she would definitely be pierced if she stepped on it.

Although she was a Great Saint Realm powerhouse and wasn’t afraid of these injuries since she could recover with a raise of her hand,

Lin Xuan’s reminder still warmed her heart.

No matter what, this man was still very meticulous.

A subtle action made people feel his meticulousness and consideration.

“No wonder Xuan Zhu and the other two babies were able to establish an incomparably deep relationship with him so quickly.”

“This man looks flippant on the surface, but he’s meticulous on the inside. He’s indeed worthy of praise!”

Donghuang Ziyou’s beautiful eyes were filled with certainty as she smiled at Lin Xuan. “Yes!”

Xuan Zhu and the others turned into four cute light bulbs and clapped their hands happily.

“Father and Mother have such a good relationship!”

“That’s right. Daddy knows how to take care of people!”

“Mother looks very happy too!”

“See, it’s good for our family to be together!”

…

Hearing the happy words of the four light girls, Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou couldn’t help but smile at the same time.

The two of them walked to the little girls’ side and held their hands.

“Babies, since you girls like this place, let’s play longer.”

“Yay!”

Then, the family of six enjoyed playing in the water.

It wasn’t until four hours later that the little girls were a little tired and returned to the Mystic Ice Jade Carriage.

“Your Majesty!”

“Greetings, Consort!”

Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou had just arrived in front of the Mystic Ice Jade Carriage when North Mystic Heaven’s Great Scholar Jiang Jiubai, Shen Yakang, and other important figures in the literary world appeared at the same time.

From the looks of it, these people had seen the Mystic Ice Jade Carriage and waited nearby.

When Donghuang Ziyou saw Jiang Jiubai and the other respected scholars gathered, she asked,

“Are you all going to participate in some grand event?”

Before she ascended the throne, she and Mu Youqing had participated in a few literary gatherings.

Therefore, she could tell at a glance that Jiang Jiubai and the others were probably going to hold a literary event.

Jiang Jiubai nodded and said, “Your Majesty is wise! Today is the celebration of the Cang Dragon Continent’s Black-White Academy’s thirty thousand years of establishment. All the literary figures in the world will attend.”

“We’re prepared to participate in the Lower Realm together after the Flying Cloud Academy gathers!”

Shen Yakang said, “I wonder if Your Majesty and the Consort are interested in attending the celebration?”

They thought that if they could invite the empress or the Consort to participate, it would definitely bring glory to the literary world.

Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou instantly understood.

It turned out that these scholars had waited here to invite them to the celebration when they saw the Mystic Ice Jade Carriage.

Donghuang Ziyou shook her head slightly. “I won’t go.”

An occasion like the Ten Thousand Year Grand Ceremony was meaningless to her.

Furthermore, she had already accompanied her daughters for almost a day. She had countless things on hand, so she naturally wouldn’t participate.

Jiang Jiubai and the other scholars nodded silently.

The empress was busy every day, so it was reasonable for her not to participate.

“Then, Father, are we going?” Xuan Zhu pulled Lin Xuan’s hand and asked while blinking her big eyes.

To the little girl, her mother was going back to do her homework immediately and couldn’t play with her anymore.

So when she thought of the lively occasion of the Ten Thousand Year Grand Ceremony, the little girl’s interest was piqued again.

Xuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You also revealed expectant gazes.

Lin Xuan nodded. “Okay.”

The Black-White Academy was the top academy in the Cang Dragon Continent.

For a grand event of this level, he naturally had to bring his precious daughters to broaden their horizons.

Donghuang Ziyou smiled. “Babies, have fun.”

After saying that, she glanced at Lin Xuan.

Letting him bring the children to such an occasion to interact with the scholars in the world would definitely allow him to increase his knowledge.

Furthermore, Jiang Jiubai and the others had high cultivation levels and had various secret techniques of the literary path to protect themselves.

However, they could do whatever they wanted ten thousand miles away and change people’s positions. She didn’t have to worry about Lin Xuan and the children’s safety.

Therefore, she naturally had to support him and the children participating.

“Alright, it’s a great honor to the scholars in the world that the Consort can participate!”

Jiang Jiubai and the others were delighted.

The grand presence of the Literature Saint wouldn’t only make the Black-White Academy proud, but also all the literary figures in the world.

Jiang Jiubai and the others even thought,

perhaps following Lin Xuan today would give them some inspiration in literary cultivation.

Seeing that the matter had been decided,

Lin Xuan brought his daughters and separated from Donghuang Ziyou. He first headed to the Flying Cloud Academy with Jiang Jiubai and the others to gather with all the literary figures in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Flying Cloud Academy.

At this moment, in the huge front yard square, a clear bird cry attracted the attention of more than a hundred thousand literary figures.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

A middle-aged fat man in a yellow robe was holding a special birdcage.

In the birdcage, there was a rather strange bird.

This bird had the face of a child and seven colorful patterns on its body.

Every time it called out, it sounded like a scholar reading a book. Its tone was cadence and was very wondrous.

“Grand Scholar Li, is this bird the legendary Literary God Bird?” Someone went forward and asked.

The yellow-robed fat man was North Mystic Heaven’s Grand Scholar Li Deyu.

Not only was this person talented, but he also liked to collect strange animals.

Li Deyu nodded and smiled. “That’s right! This is the Literary God Bird that’s rarely seen in a thousand years. Not only can it learn to speak, but it’s also very talented. As long as we teach it to read and write for a year and a half, it will have extraordinary literary skills.”

“It’s rumored that this bird’s ancestor was a pet bird left in the human world by the Literary God Bird before he became a god. This bird was raised by the Literary God Bird, and its talent is comparable to that of a Literature Saint. The descendants also inherited its talent.”

“If anyone wins against it in terms of talent, they will receive a Natural Literature Sacred Pearl!”

Everyone immediately gathered around when they heard that.

“Natural Literature Sacred Pearl? That’s a magical treasure!”

“The Natural Literature Sacred Pearl is very precious, but you have to win against the Literary God Bird!”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked out from the crowd and went forward.

“Grand Scholar Li, have you ever won against this Literary God Bird?”

Li Deyu shook his head and smiled. “Of course not! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have specifically brought it here!”

Everyone nodded silently.

If even a national scholar couldn’t compare to the Literary God Bird, then this bird was indeed extraordinary.

It seemed that Li Deyu wanted to take the opportunity when the scholars of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm gathered to find an expert who could defeat the Literary God Bird.

The white-robed man’s name was Han Zhiyou, and he was the number one person below the Great Scholar of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. He smiled and said, “Then let me try!”

Li Deyu nodded. “Grand Scholar Han is the number one person below the Great Scholar, so he’s naturally qualified to compete with Literary God Bird!”

Han Zhiyou then walked to the front of the birdcage and revealed a serious expression.

“Then I’ll say a brilliant verse and see how it responds… The color is emptiness, the heart is Buddha!”

Everyone couldn’t help but nod silently.

These two lines were written by an accomplished monk in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. They contained the deepest Buddhist etiquette, and to date, no one had been able to come up with the next line.

Unexpectedly, after the Literary God Bird shook its head, it said, “Poetry is like wine; Confucianism is like Immortalism.”

Swish!

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

“As expected of the bloodline of the Natural Literature Sacred Bird. This Literary God Bird is really amazing!”

“That’s right. With its talent, if it becomes a person, it will at least be at the Great Scholar Realm!”

Amidst everyone’s praise, Han Zhiyou shook his head and smiled. “Impressive. This bird is really magical and admirable!”

With that, he retreated and stopped competing.

Han Zhiyou had no choice but to admit defeat when he saw that the Literary God Bird could even come up with such a brilliant sentence.

“It seems like I can only invite a few scholars to try!” Li Deyu couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, white light flashed in the sky.

A Flying White Deer pulled a huge and luxurious carriage and slowly landed.

Beside the carriage, Jiang Jiubai and the others were riding the Flying White Deer.

When they saw the person sitting in the carriage, everyone exclaimed, “It’s the Consort!”

Everyone’s blood boiled.

He didn’t expect to be able to invite the Consort this time. How lucky was he?!

When the carriage landed, everyone hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Consort! Greetings, Literature Saint!”

Lin Xuan nodded at everyone in return and then carried Xuan Zhu and the others down the carriage.

Jiang Jiubai looked around and said, “Everyone, we heard loud voices from afar just now. What are you doing?”

He thought to himself that since the literary figures of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm were so noisy, they were being rude in front of Lin Xuan.

Li Deyu carried the birdcage and went forward. “Great Scholar Jiang, it’s because I brought this Literary God Bird.”

“It came up with a brilliant verse after Grand Scholar Han’s ultimate sentence just now, so it caused a commotion!”

“I see.” Jiang Jiubai nodded, then revealed a hint of surprise. “Is this bird really so magical?”

“Really!” Li Deyu had a determined expression. “Why don’t you give it a try?”

Jiang Jiubai hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “The current Literature Saint is here. How can I dare to act up?”

He then wanted to ask Lin Xuan to come first, but Lin Xuan said indifferently,

“It’s okay. You can try if you’re interested. After all, this is also a type of cultivation.”

Jiang Jiubai looked enlightened and hurriedly nodded.

“You’re right, sir. Then I’ll see how powerful this Literary God Bird is!”

With that, he took a step forward and circulated the literary aura in his body before saying a sentence.

“A mountain full of peach blossoms!”

The Literary God Bird shook its head and didn’t speak for a long time.

Everyone revealed looks of admiration.

As expected of the number one scholar of the current era. Jiang Jiubai’s words were really brilliant and difficult to pair!

Just as everyone thought that the Literary God Bird was going to lose, it suddenly shook its head violently.

Then, it said,

“Ten thousand silver lamps attract a beauty!”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

“My God, as expected of the Literary God Bird. It even matched Great Scholar Jiang’s verse!”

“Amazing! How amazing!”

Jiang Jiubai shook his head and smiled. “This bird has really broadened my horizons!”

He wasn’t vexed.

After all, it was rumored that the songbird was a top-notch spiritual beast.

As the saying went, everything had its strengths. It wasn’t inconceivable to win against him.

Then,

Jiang Jiubai, Shen Yakang, and the others looked at Lin Xuan expectantly. “Consort, you have to try!”

Xuan Zhu and the others also cheered Lin Xuan on expectantly. “Father, you must be more impressive than that bird!”

Hearing the little girls’ innocent words, Lin Xuan was amused.

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

He then walked to the Literary God Bird and searched for a rare poem in the Absolute Mystic Sutra.

“People pass through the Great Buddha Temple, and the Buddha is greater than humans.”

Hearing his words, everyone fell silent.

Everyone was racking their brains to think of a couplet.

However, they discovered that not only did these two sentences contain the deepest Buddhist profundity, but the sentence structure was completely symmetrical. The difficulty was simply astonishing!

“As expected of the current Literature Saint. His talent is really shocking!”

In the end, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

They felt that even if there were ten more Literary Birds, they wouldn’t be able to match Lin Xuan’s two lines.

At this moment, the Literary God Bird remained motionless after hearing Lin Xuan’s words.

After an incense stick worth of time, it finally moved.

However, it didn’t shake its head or speak.

Instead, it spat out three crystalline seven-colored pearls in one go!

Everyone’s pupils dilated.

It was the Natural Literature Sacred Pearl!

And there were three of them!!
