Chapter 337: Chapter 292, Setting Up a Straw Man for Her Majesty
Bai Jin rose to his feet, pondering for a moment before speaking: "Junior sister, it has not yet come to that.
Although I have not yet clarified which part has encountered an issue, it certainly is related to the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book. I will undermine his efforts from the roots and see what he can still do?"
Yun Xiao gave a bow with hands clasped in gratitude and said: "Thank you, senior brother!"
"Junior sister, you go back first and do not act rashly. I will take care of Brother Gongming’s matter."
Yun Xiao opened her mouth as if to speak, her heart heavy with worry, but she still responded: "Yes!" and turned to walk outside.
After Yun Xiao had left, Bai Jin’s figure flashed and also vanished from sight.
Inside the West Qi Camp, Jiang Ziya sat cross-legged on the altar, yawning. It had been more than ten days already. Why had news of Zhao Gongming’s death not arrived yet? This strawman effigy... Can it be relied upon at all?! It feels like child’s play.
"Buzz~" The altar suddenly emitted a vibrating sound, causing Jiang Ziya’s face to change instantly. His mind plunged into the depths of Chaos, and in front of him, a towering figure sat cross-legged, hidden within the Chaos and not clearly visible, only the outline of his imposing stature could be faintly discerned.
Before that enormous figure, Jiang Ziya felt as small as dust, his excitement leading him to bow and say: "Disciple pays respects to the Chaos Demon God!"
A vast voice echoed within the Chaos Sea: "Remember my name, the Time Demon God, the hour!"
"Pays respects to the Time Demon God."
"Your recent offering pleases me greatly, and I have come to bestow upon you these words: The Heavenly Dao is just; to gain something, one must give in return!"
The Chaos Sea surged violently, instantly tearing the tiny Jiang Ziya to shreds.
"Ah~" Jiang Ziya cried out miserably atop the altar, suddenly opening his eyes, his body drenched in cold sweat, gasping for breath, with fear still visible in his eyes. The turmoil of the Chaos Sea was too horrifying; despite his strength comparable to that of a Profound Immortal, he found himself utterly powerless, as insignificant as an ant.
After calming himself for a moment, Jiang Ziya clenched his fists, his gaze resolute, No, I must become stronger. I, Jiang Ziya, am destined to be the main character of Heaven and Earth, not some ant.
Having secretly set a lofty goal for himself, Jiang Ziya looked up at the strawman in front of him and murmured: "The Heavenly Dao is just; to gain something, one must give in return! Could it be that there’s something wrong with the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book? I have cursed Zhao Gongming to death. What do I have to give in return?"
After doubts arose in his heart, all the previous matters suddenly seemed very odd, from Lu Ya’s insistence on giving him the Magic Treasure to the strangeness of the treasure itself. The more he thought about it, the colder he felt inside; there was definitely something wrong with this treasure.
Jiang Ziya intently watched the strawman. The more he looked, the stranger it seemed, as if the strawman were laughing, or as if it were crying, with a face crudely drawn and filled with eeriness.
Jiang Ziya suddenly came to his senses, feeling a chill in his heart. He quickly leaped up and backwards, landing outside the altar, looking at the strawman with lingering fear and murmured: "This is definitely not a righteous method. That Lu Ya doesn’t look like a good character; he must be trying to harm me.
Fortunately, my recent offerings have been powerful, and the great Demon God has enlightened me." A strong feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart. Indeed, the Demon God is close to me! I must continue my offerings and win the Demon God’s favor.
What to do when someone sends me Evil Treasures to harm me? Do not fear! Offer them to the Chaos Demon God, and let the great Demon God confront him!
Without hesitation, Jiang Ziya bowed reverently and sincerely said: "Great Chaos Demon God, your disciple is willing to offer the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, asking the Demon God to bestow upon me a method to suppress Zhao Gongming’s dharma."
Around the crystalline altar, the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind converged, coalescing into Chaos. From within the Chaos, a massive hand stretched out, grabbing the straw effigy and the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book from the altar in one swoop.
Moments later, the Chaos Qi dissipated, and a small stone tower materialized on the altar.
Jiang Ziya stood up to collect the stone tower, sat cross-legged within the great tent without leaving, and thought, Lu Ya, I want to see what you are trying to do?
...
Above the East Sea Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin seized the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book and the effigy from the void. He scrutinized the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book carefully, sealed it, and stored it in his collection.
Bai Jin examined the effigy and mumbled to himself, "Strange, where exactly is the problem? Nevermind, I’ll just destroy it directly."
With a flick of his hand, a blossom of Samadhi True Fire floated out and landed on the effigy. Boom~ The Samadhi True Fire blazed explosively, engulfing the entire effigy in flames.
In a few moments, the Samadhi True Fire faded away and disappeared, and the effigy remained standing in its original place, utterly undamaged.
Bai Jin suddenly stood up, speaking with a cold voice, "As expected, there’s something wrong with this effigy?" He pressed his hand on the effigy, and the Creation Dao, Reincarnation Dao, Yin Yang Dao, Tao of Force, and Heavenly Cutting Dao—various Tao Rhythms converged to form divine seals, suppressing the effigy.
Within the Western Pure Land World, Saint Zhunti slowly opened his eyes, puzzled, he said, "How curious! How did my avatar effigy end up in Bai Jin’s hands?"
Although it was casually put together, it’s related to a Saint and has long transcended mundane existence. How could it be insulted so lightly?!
Atop the Three Lights Immortal Island, the effigy vibrated with a hum, and the various Dao-incorporated divine seals shattered with a bang.
Bai Jin grunted and was sent flying, crashing onto a distant island, carving a deep ravine, with rocks flying chaotically.
Bai Jin bent over, trying hard to stop his momentum, then looked up at the effigy with a serious expression. Even the Rhythms of the Dao couldn’t suppress it?
Inside the Western Pure Land World, Buddha Jieyin leisurely spoke, "Junior brother, why don’t you take back the effigy?"
Saint Zhunti chuckled and replied, "There’s no need to retrieve it. Given Bai Jin’s intelligence, he will guess the origin of the effigy. To avoid entangling me with karma, he will personally return it in time."
Jieyin nodded slightly.
On The Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin straightened his clothes and strode towards the effigy. He respectfully bowed to the effigy, then reverentially lifted it and with one step, he vanished from sight.
Bai Jin traveled all the way to Wa Emperor Heaven, landing in the Sky Garden. He set down the effigy, placed it within the garden, took out some ragged clothes to dress it, and patted his hands with satisfaction, "That should do it."
"Bai Jin, come in!" A gentle voice resounded next to Bai Jin’s ear.
Bai Jin immediately walked toward the Nuwa Palace and entered the grand hall. He bowed respectfully, "Disciple greets Niangniang, wishing Niangniang happiness and auspiciousness!"
Nuwa, seated upon the Cloud Bed, smiled and said, "Stand up to answer."
Bai Jin got up, smiled brightly, then suddenly his expression changed to that of surprise and said, "Niangniang, how come you’ve changed?"
"Oh? What has changed?"
"You’ve become even more beautiful."
"Oh~ so I wasn’t beautiful before?"
"In the eyes of your disciple, before me, Niangniang is the most beautiful."
Nuwa could not help but laugh lightly, "You do know how to talk."
"Niangniang, this is your disciple’s heartfelt truth, the unparalleled beauty of the Primordial World, a delight to the eye is Niangniang!"
Nuwa laughed and said, "Don’t be glib. Why have you placed an effigy in my garden? It has ruined the aesthetic of my garden."
