"Wuyou and the others haven't come back yet, could something have happened?"
In the Netherworld, another sigh from Ming River echoed.
He was constantly thinking about his little brother Wangchuan.
"Rest assured."
Xuanqing was getting a bit of a headache from the constant reminder, looking at Ming River: "You don't even worry about yourself this much when you go out."
"Do you really need to worry so much about Wuyou and Wangchuan?"
"It's different."
Ming River said seriously, "It's Wangchuan's first time going out, I originally wanted to take him to see the world."
"But now I'm back, and he still hasn't returned, could something have gone wrong?"
"Talk less and maybe they will be safer."
Xuanqing shook his head, knowing that Ming River often took the opportunity to tease Wangchuan, otherwise Wangchuan wouldn't hide every time he saw him.
Suddenly being so concerned, could it be that his hands are itching?
"If you're too idle, why not hatch this golden egg."
Xuanqing handed the golden egg to Ming River.
They had researched it for a long time, accelerated time for hatching, steamed with Yellow Spring Water, roasted over Nether Fire… all the usual methods had been used.
They only stopped short of using some violent methods to crack it open.
Just then, information came from Xuanqing's own Dao Body—the Green Robed Dragon God [Great Fate Master] spying among the Dragon Clan.
Great Fate Master indicated that these were a batch of colorful eggs researched by the Dragon Clan's Qiantian Palace, definitely good stuff without a doubt.
As to what could actually be hatched from this egg, Great Fate Master didn't know.
He said it depended on opportunity.
"Gui Chancellor just now was all secretive, only telling me 'When the opportunity arrives, the egg will hatch.'"
"I, the great Dragon God of Yun Mengze, managing myriad affairs daily, do I have idle time to wait for an opportunity? Of course not!"
"So, in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, I cracked one open right on the spot, and nothing came out."
"Eh, no more talking, Gui Chancellor is chasing me, this old fellow really has a temper! It's just an egg being cracked, how petty."
"Anyway, it's best not to crack that golden egg you have, I reckon it really is a good thing, just keep it and see."
After receiving this answer, Ming River was somewhat disappointed.
An invention from the Dragon Clan's First Research Institute couldn't possibly be the egg of Ancestor Dragon.
Hearing that forceful dismantling was ineffective, Xuanqing decided to temporarily give up on the research.
"It's not appropriate to keep this egg with me, better to leave it with you, and if there's any problem, it can still be dumped into Taisha Heavenly Palace."
Ming River self-awarely considered that keeping it with Xuanqing might indeed yield something good.
If he were to research it, who knows what kind of bizarre thing might be hatched.
"That works."
Xuanqing waved his hand, and the egg was transferred to the Third Heavenly Palace—Wu City Heavenly Palace.
Wu City Heavenly Palace stored Xuanqing's collected Spiritual Treasures and many artifact refining results.
Of course, many of them were not serious Spiritual Treasures.
Placing the golden egg in there was most suitable; no matter what hatched, it definitely wouldn't be able to defeat the plentifully virtuous Spiritual Treasures within the Heavenly Palace.
"Let's go, to Taisha Heavenly Palace."
Xuanqing patted Ming River's shoulder.
"Sure!" Ming River laughed.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the 'Old Friend', I quite miss him."
Many of the retained objects within Taisha Heavenly Palace were captured together by Xuanqing and Ming River.
When Xuanqing and Ming River appeared together in Taisha Heavenly Palace, the whole palace boiled over.
"Look who has come?"
"Hahaha, isn't this the 'Big Fish'? He once rushed into my Luotian Net, nearly got caught."
"Ah, Ming River Daoist, hasn't it been several million years since we last met? I really miss you."
"Ming River Daoist, I miss you too. Seeing you reminds me of the glorious years gone by, alas, they are now past and won't return."
"I regret not fishing back then, to have ended up in this plight."
Ming River's arrival was warmly welcomed by a crowd of contained entities.
They were thrilled.
Seeing this "Old Friend," they all reminisced about the glory of old times.
Back then, they too were fishing masters, experts in setting traps.
At that time, the sky was vast, the universe still so immense.
Ming River was often inside, while they were outside.
But now, the situation changed.
They are inside, Ming River is outside.
Inside Blood Pool Hell, the elder brother of the Holy Sect [Fu Zhu] laughed and said, "You don't understand!"
"This is the incomparable ingenious plan of our Sect Hierarch."
"The 'fish' you saw was actually the 'bait' spread by the Sect Hierarch."
"Otherwise, how could we each have been captured?"
They listened and six out of ten expressed their agreement.
"Sect Hierarch is wise and valiant; we are unworthy."
These six had all been caught because of their schemes involving the Ming River.
"Do they really acknowledge you as the Sect Hierarch?"
The Ming River didn't mind their mockery, instead, it took interest in addressing Xuanqing, "Your followers from the Holy Sect are full of talents!"
"What Holy Sect, are you listening to their nonsense?" Xuanqing shook his head.
Sect's eldest disciple, Fu Zhu, shouted, "Ming River Daoist, the Sect Hierarch thinks our names are unpleasant, we've now renamed ourselves 'Chan Sect'."
"Expounding the teachings of the Sect Hierarch, enlightening all sentient beings."
"What do you think?"
After hearing it, the Ming River nodded, "The intention is quite good."
Everyone who heard it laughed.
"Alright, if Ming River Daoist approves, from now on we're called 'disciples of Chan Sect'."
"Go away!"
Xuanqing frowned, "What are you riling up for?"
"Everyone behave, don't play any tricks, otherwise Meng Huai will serve as your model!"
He raised his hand pointing towards the Fire Sea Hell.
Presently, the second disciple of the Netherworld Holy Sect, Meng Huai, was still undergoing punishment.
He had already kept quiet.
But when he heard Xuanqing was coming, he started howling.
Xuanqing ignored him.
And directly sent two True Spirits into the Heavenly Palace.
These were the first two Heavenly Monarchs of the Yin Yang Universe.
"The eighteen hells, take turns!"
Xuanqing commanded the Heavenly Palace.
"My goodness, these two lads are something!"
"Experiencing our Taisha Heavenly Palace's grand package, truly promising!"
"Heh, who would say otherwise."
All the captured ones were there for a laugh, none showed sympathy.
The same old reason, these two scums didn't deserve to be locked up with them.
After arranging for these two scum Heavenly Monarchs, Xuanqing and the Ming River headed to the Inner Universe.
Inside C Universe.
Feimo Lieqing Zhenjun was almost losing it.
Ever since Xuanqing opened a separate room for him, he has been restless.
Because next door were extremely devout worshippers.
They recited the scriptures everyday to enlighten themselves.
Also, incidentally trying to enlighten Feimo Lieqing Zhenjun.
"Zhenjun, convert."
"Join us, descend together into the Netherworld."
"Zhenjun, the Sect Hierarch really favors you; otherwise, he wouldn't be the first to send you to the Inner Universe."
"You're the real eldest disciple!"
"Come, join us on the Great Dao, and turn into a Ghost God!"
Within the Universe, filled with resonating Daoist chants.
Those worshippers, with frenzied looks in their eyes, treated recruiting new Daoists as their great mission.
Feimo Lieqing Zhenjun finally could hardly bear it.
"No, I mean, if you want to turn ghost, turn ghost!"
"Why don't you transform into a Ghost God and show me!"
"You haven't succeeded yourselves, why drag me down?"
"Just succeed once, and without a word, I'll plunge into the Netherworld!"
"You said it!" In C Universe, a divine being in black robe and wearing a dark gold Dao Crown, sat upright.
Surrounding him were surging waves and glittering divine light.
At this moment, this black-robed divine being with a dark crown was preaching, with grand splendid celestial music in the ear, thunderous and majestic thunder sounds, and an unfathomably mysterious air of Dao resonating.
"Netherworld salvation, liberation of all beings, Sect Hierarch's decree, listen to me: All Ghost Gods, transcend within the Yin, Divine Image unseen, upon hearing Dao, then..."
The grand voice of the Great Dao resonated.
The aura of this divine being first continuously weakened, weakening to the extreme.
Then suddenly, a shift occurred, bursting forth with an immensely strong aura.
Feimo Lieqing Zhenjun, seeing this, was dumbfounded:
"Holy shit, I casually mentioned it and you took it for real!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
