Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

Chapter 166: Yu Ding Fishing in Heaven

"Ancient catastrophe?"

Bigan couldn't believe it, and felt that the high priest was exaggerating. What was the ancient catastrophe? It was a catastrophe that affected the entire world. Whether it was mortals, monsters, or immortals, they were all like ants in the catastrophe.

Now the Shang Dynasty is at its peak, the barbarians are submissive, and there have been no disasters in the world. There is no sign of a great catastrophe to come.

After the high priest said this, it seemed that he had stirred up the energy between heaven and earth. A black gas descended from the sky and instantly pounced on him.

He opened his mouth and spurted out blood again, and then he fainted. His breath was extremely weak, and it seemed that a little bump could take his life.

"The High Priest!"

Bigan's repeated calls could not wake him up.

When the catastrophe was brewing, even a saint could not peek into the secrets of heaven at will, but the high priest had just summoned the luck of the ancestral temple and used the luck of the Shang Dynasty to forcibly deduce it.

Although he had glimpsed the great catastrophe, he was also hit back by the heaven and earth. Even an immortal would find it difficult to endure this backlash.

However, the good fortune of the Shang Dynasty blocked the attack and saved the high priest's life.

After the high priest fell into a coma, the ancestral temple fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Bigan had no choice but to leave.

"First, the ancestral temple gave a warning, and the high priest immediately reported the matter to the emperor, and then divined the secrets of the heavens in the ancestral temple... If only the reporting time could be delayed a little, and the report could be made after the diviner had divined, that would be great!"

He sighed in his heart. Now he had caused His Majesty to misunderstand him for no reason.

After coming out, Bigan immediately rushed towards the palace.

He planned to meet Emperor Xin, tell him about the ancestral temple, and explain for the high priest.

However, when Bigan came to the palace to ask for an audience, he was blocked outside by Elai.

Emperor Xin was furious at this time and was unwilling to listen to others' advice...

Bigan was helpless and could only write a memorial to the emperor and ask Elai to deliver it to the palace. The memorial described the great catastrophe and the divination of the high priest.

The memorial was sent to the palace.

Emperor Xin glanced at it, sneered, and threw it aside.

"Your Majesty, the high priest has been fortune-telling continuously, and the ancestral temple has also issued a warning, saying that a great catastrophe is about to break out, and it should not be underestimated!"

Seeing this, Fei Zhong spoke up for Bigan.

"Great calamity! What great calamity!"

Emperor Xin looked cold, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "It's just empty talk. Even if the Shang Dynasty is in trouble, don't I still have a destiny?"

Emperor Xin never believed in destiny, so what he said was pure sarcasm.

......

Heavenly Yaochi.

"Huh!" When he walked out of the treasure pavilion and was out of the sight of Queen Mother of the West, Long Ji suddenly let out a long breath, and his previous reluctance disappeared.

"Master, where do you want to go?" Long Ji asked with a smile.

It turned out to be fake... Yu Ding felt a little strange: "Anywhere is fine."

Just now he really thought that Long Ji was unwilling to leave home and go to Yuquan Mountain with him to practice! When he walked out of the fairy island, Yu Ding immediately saw a treasure pavilion on the high platform on the fairy pond. In front of the pavilion, there were strange visions, auspicious mists, colorful jade platforms, and misty treasure pavilions.

There is a colorful gold-painted table and a jade basin with a thousand flowers. On the table are delicacies such as dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and in the basin are fairy peaches, which are delicious and fragrant.

The ground has already been paved neatly at this moment, but no immortal has entered yet.

Smelling those scents...

Even a Daluo Jinxian like Yu Ding who had been practicing fasting couldn't help but feel an appetite and an urge to eat a big meal.

"No wonder that kid Yuan Hong couldn't help it and seemed to regret accepting this monkey!" Yu Ding said silently in his heart. This show was indeed the largest in the Three Realms.

Those delicacies are difficult for mortals to eat, and even he, an immortal, doesn't eat them often.

On the stage, a flag was hung high in the sky, emitting innate precious light, permeating the ground, and shrouded in a strange fragrance.

"That flag..." Yu Ding's eyes moved.

"Master, that is my mother's plain cloud flag."

Long Ji smiled and said, "This flag is called the Cloud Realm and the Gathering Immortals Flag. When we go to the Yaochi Gathering, we will raise this flag and all the immortals from the three realms will know about it and come to the Yaochi Gathering. That's why it's called the Gathering Immortals Flag."

Yu Ding nodded slightly...it was indeed one of the five innate flags.

The innate five-direction flags belong to the innate five elements. The five treasures are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures with unparalleled defense. They are owned by the big guys in the prehistoric world.

Among them, the Wuji Xinghuang Banner is the magic weapon of Yuxu Palace, while the Nanfang Lidi Yanguang Banner belongs to his uncle Daode Tianzun, and the Qinglian Baose Banner is a thing of the Western Religion...

The so-called Yaochi is naturally very large. In addition to the fairy pool, there are many pavilions and towers.

Outside the pavilions are mountains and forests. The ground is filled with the fragrance of orchids, the aroma of fairy herbs, the glittering magic medicines, and all kinds of rare and precious herbs. There are also rare birds and beasts such as the blue phoenix, the divine phoenix, and the unicorn. It really looks like a legendary mythical world.

It can be seen that Long Ji relaxed a lot after leaving Yaochi, but he was still reserved in front of this immortal, which showed that he had strict family education.

Yu Ding didn't say anything about this. Now this was still heaven, and he would discuss the matter of teaching his disciples after returning to Yuquan Mountain.

"Master, when will we return to Yuquan Mountain to practice?" Long Ji asked carefully.

Yu Ding could see her urgency, but he still smiled and said, "Of course we have to wait until the Peach Festival is over."

Long Ji said "oh" and walked away after thinking for a while.

"By the way, where are those immortals who came to the meeting now?"

Yu Ding looked around and asked, but still no one was there. It seemed that he had been given a green channel this time. Now he had something he wanted to ask Huang Long.

Long Ji looked into the distance and said, "In the past, the grand meeting was held in Kunlun Yaochi, but this time it was changed to the Heavenly Palace because we were worried that some people would not know the way to Yaochi.

It seems that someone will lead all the immortals to Tongming Palace for a ceremony, and when almost everyone is there, they will move to Yaochi for the meeting..."

"I see!"

Yu Ding nodded slightly, and before they knew it, they had arrived at an imperial pond.

It is called a pond, but in fact it is a huge lake. Mist is flowing on the surface of the water. Even a small lake is clear and transparent, and there are all kinds of strange fish and aquatic creatures in the water.

The scenery by the lake is picturesque, with grasses covering the ground, mists surging, and willows weeping like smoke. There are also some unknown sacred trees, where petals fall like rain in the breeze and fragrance wafts in the air, making it a magnificent sight.

"what……"

Even Yu Ding, stepping into such an environment, couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh comfortably.

Everyone says that gods are good?

Why? Isn’t it just because the food is good, the living environment is good, and life is longer?

Long Ji next to him glanced at Yu Ding with a strange expression.

Yu Ding's eyes focused, and he saw that in the golden light there was a slender fish, three inches long, golden all over, with a strong aura, dragon whiskers and two small bags.

"That's a golden arowana, it has rare true dragon blood in its body."

Long Ji said: "It is said that one can cultivate into a real dragon, but it is extremely difficult to catch... Unfortunately, you can't eat it if you leave the Heavenly Palace."

True dragon bloodline... Yu Ding nodded slightly. He knew that this kind of fish had great value whether it was eaten or used to make medicine. As he was talking, suddenly a divine light shot up into the sky from afar, and powerful auras came one after another.

"A powerful person has arrived." Long Ji looked solemn.

Yu Ding nodded slightly. Great Power is also the Taiyi Golden Immortal, another name for the Daluo Golden Immortal. Apart from the Jade Emperor, the only quasi-saint in the Heavenly Court is Laozi. The Daluo Golden Immortals in the Heavenly Court are very rare.

However, considering the scale of the Peach Festival, a mere Golden Immortal cannot be considered a truly heavyweight figure.

"Ahem, Longji, do you know where my dojo is?"

"I heard it's in...Yuquan Mountain!"

"You are so smart. Let me test you. Do you know why it is called Yuquan Mountain?"

Long Ji was delighted by the compliment and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that there is a spring in the mountain?"

"Hahaha, my disciple Yu Ding is really smart. Not bad, not bad. He has indeed found a fairy spring."

Yu Ding patiently said, "When I was meditating and practicing beside the Jade Spring before, I always felt that something was missing. Now I seem to know it. Do you know it?"

"Master, are you talking about... the golden dragon fish?" Long Ji's eyes lit up.

Yu Ding nodded slightly: "Yes, my disciple is really very smart, but he was raised in heaven..."

"Master, you can just catch them. The Heavenly Palace raises them for food. My father fishes and releases them, releases and catches them. It's meaningless." Long Ji's eyes lit up: "Let's get some, and when we get to Yuquan Mountain, I'll cook them for you?"

Long Ji continued, "Let me tell you, this is delicious. There is only one dragon bone in the whole body, and it is cartilage. It tastes crispy..."

Yu Ding frowned and said, "Disciple, we are cultivators, how can we be tempted by the desire for food and drink?"

Long Ji looked panicked.

However, Yu Ding immediately said, "But it's okay to have a snack every now and then. Go and see when the Peach Festival starts. When it's almost time, come and inform me, Master."

"Disciple obey!"

Long Ji was overjoyed and looked at Yu Ding.

The master and disciple smiled knowingly.

“Master, my father said that this golden dragon fish is very spiritual. Once it senses the magic power, it will hide underneath and won’t come out. You have to restrain your magic power and learn to fish like a mortal…” Long Ji taught the skills.

"Well, what is fishing? It's called self-cultivation." Yu Ding coughed dryly.

"Yes, yes, yes. Cultivate your moral character. Cultivate your moral character."

Long Ji covered his mouth with his hands and chuckled, then walked lightly to the front to inquire about the news.

Yu Ding looked around and found that no one had come to the pavilion. Because according to his experience of fishing in other temples, this is the best fishing platform in the entire lake.

This pavilion on the lake is just right.

Yu Ding lifted his Taoist robe, sat down cross-legged, raised his hand and conjured up a fishing rod, took out a magic pill from his sleeve, hung it on the fishhook, and slowly lowered it into the water.

Why not just lure her over first... and then use magic to catch her?

call out!

Just when the fish in the front was about to bite the elixir, a few golden lights flashed in the distance, as if hesitating.

Finally, Ichijo couldn't help it!

Take a chance... The golden arowana rushed over like a gambler, as fast as lightning, and bit the elixir.

It also took the hook.

"Unexpectedly... good fishing?"

Yu Ding pulled out the fishhook and looked at the golden arowana, falling into deep thought.
