I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 91: Blocking Taiyi at Shiji

It is said that after killing Li Liang and Ao Bing, the two Dragon Race deities, Nezha became even more arrogant, to the point where even Li Jing had difficulty controlling him.

One day, Nezha saw a longbow on the weapon rack called the Qiankun Bow, with three arrows named the Zhentian Arrows. It was a treasure that the Yellow Emperor had obtained after defeating Chi You, a divine weapon of merit that even ordinary immortals couldn't lift.

Nezha was delighted when he saw it, so he took the Qiankun Bow in his hand, took out an arrow, placed it on the bowstring, and shot it towards the southwest.

"Whoosh!"

Only a sharp and piercing sound was heard as the Zhentian Arrow cut through the Shattering Void and disappeared.

Biyun Fairy was carrying a flower basket to gather herbs and happened to be under the cliff. She was hit in the throat by the arrow and fell to the ground, dead.

Shiji Niangniang was furious. Biyun Boy had followed her for thousands of years, like a direct disciple. Now that he had been shot dead with an arrow, how could she let it go?

Burning with anger, she forgot the advice Xia Yi had given her earlier and angrily went to Chentang Pass to capture Nezha.

Although Nezha was the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, his divine power had not yet fully recovered.

He could only escape to Mount Qianyuan riding the Wind and Fire Wheels.

Shiji Niangniang naturally wouldn't let him go so easily and chased after him closely.

Nezha rushed like the wind and finally arrived at the Golden Light Cave. He hurriedly entered the cave and bowed to his master.

Taiyi Perfected Being asked, "Why are you so flustered, Nezha?"

Nezha replied, "Shiji Niangniang is chasing after me because I killed her disciple. She came with a treasure sword to kill me and took away Master's Qiankun Ring and Huntuo Silk. She is now outside the cave, and I have no choice but to seek help from Master. Please save me!"

Taiyi Perfected Being was delighted in his heart and thought, "It's just right to use Shiji Niangniang to complete this calamity and send her to the Conferred Divinity List."

He immediately let Nezha hide in the Cave Mansion while he took out the treasure.

Just as he stepped out of the cave, he saw Shiji Niangniang with an angry face, holding a treasure sword and coming to kill him. He bowed and said, "Brother, please!"

Shiji Niangniang saw Taiyi Perfected Being and her heart sank. The True Spirit that had been filled with anger also recovered. She thought to herself, "The Sect Master of Myriad Tribulations Sect on Jiuyin Mountain told me to go into seclusion and cultivate, saying that I wouldn't encounter Taiyi within ten years. It's just the tenth year now! It seems that it is destined for me to face this calamity, and I can't escape it."

Taiyi Perfected Being saw that Shiji Niangniang's expression was uncertain, and her anger had dissipated quite a bit. He couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

But he wanted to use Shiji Niangniang's life to complete the calamity, so he said, "Fellow Daoist, you are chasing after my disciple and taking away my Law Treasures. What is the reason behind this?"

"You, the Orthodox Sect, always protect your own, regardless of right or wrong. You really have no shame. I don't want to argue with you!" Shiji Niangniang directly summoned the Bagua Dragon Whisk, which covered an area of about a hundred acres, spreading light everywhere.

"I was just about to make a move!" Taiyi Perfected Being was delighted in his heart. He chanted a spell and pointed with one hand, and a green light shot out, bringing her down.

It was the highest-level technique of the Jade Void Sect, the Jade Clear Divine Light!

Then, he threw the Innate Spirit Treasure given by Yuanshi Tianzun, the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, into the air. It was as big as a mountain, with raging flames and nine fire dragons roaring.

Shiji Niangniang remained calm and sneered, raising a demonic banner into the air and shaking it.

Suddenly, countless Yin souls surged out, and the sound of their mournful wailing shook the heavens.

"Sizzle..."

In an instant, a hundred thousand Yin souls were burned to ashes.

"Ah..."

Taiyi Perfected Being let out a roar of anger and quickly waved his hand to collect the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover.

"You... how can you possess so many Yin souls?"

Taiyi Perfected Being was shocked beyond measure.

It was no longer the ancient era of witches and demons.

At that time, the human race had not yet prospered and could only become food for the Monster Race.

Donghuang Taiyi even slaughtered billions of human beings to refine the Slaughter Witch Sword.

The Witch Clan also wanted to slaughter the Human Clan and refine the Slaughter Demon Banner, but unfortunately they were not successful. Otherwise, the Human Clan would have been extinct.

Nowadays, the Human Dao is flourishing.

Massive killings of the Human Clan will face backlash from the Human Dao, bringing about boundless calamities.

Even the most ferocious Immortal Demon would not casually slaughter humans and practice magic.

After all, mortals are too weak, and it is better to cultivate the Primordial Spirit as a cultivator and refine treasures.

"There are probably over a billion souls in this Slaughter Demon Banner, right?"

The Perfected Being Taiyi was frightened to the point of almost having his Dao heart shattered.

The Great Shang Dynasty, ruling over the mortal realm, only had a population of a hundred billion people.

But the Slaughter Demon Banner in Shi Ji's hand actually had billions.

It was almost equivalent to one percent of the population of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Now that the Human Dao is flourishing, even a Saint would not dare to slaughter so many mortals, right?

Could it be the work of the Queen of the Underworld?

Only that Queen manages the endless cycles of reincarnation for countless ages and can accumulate such a large number of souls.

But why would the Queen of the Underworld help the Jiejiao Sect?

"Well done, Yuxu Golden Immortal, Taiyi Perfected Being. You have instantly annihilated hundreds of thousands of souls. Let's see how much merit you can deduct!"

The Lady Shi Ji burst into laughter.

With billions of souls protecting her, she was completely fearless of Taiyi Perfected Being.

Unless Taiyi Perfected Being risked destroying all these billions of souls and killed himself.

But in doing so, Taiyi Perfected Being would immediately deepen his karmic debt. He would probably not even have the qualification to be on the Conferred Divinity List and would be wiped out by the Human Dao.

Taiyi Perfected Being's face changed constantly. Just now, he had annihilated over a hundred thousand souls, which had already extinguished half of his own merit and luck.

These were all accumulated when the Jiejiao Sect supported the Yellow Emperor and unified the mortal realm.

Originally, he planned to use this merit to send some disciples of the Jiejiao Sect to the Conferred Divinity List, so as to safely pass the tribulation of becoming a god.

But now that his merit had greatly diminished, he was afraid that he would have to go up himself, let alone send others.

"Taiyi! Your disciple used the Yuxu Daoist method to shoot and kill my disciple Biyun Tong'er, injured Caiyun Tongzi, and even harmed me with the Qiankun Circle and Huntuo Ribbon. If you hand over Nezha, everything will be settled. If you protect him, I will use these billions of souls to block your Golden Light Cave!"

Lady Shi Ji shouted loudly.

She was not afraid of Taiyi Perfected Being at all now.

Unless the other party risked being tainted by boundless karmic power and perished together with her, they would not dare to lift a finger against her.

Taiyi Perfected Being's face was full of distress, so he simply returned to his Cave Mansion.

He saw Nezha drinking immortal wine and eating immortal fruits in the Cave Mansion, looking very uneasy.

He couldn't help but shout loudly, "Evil disciple, all this trouble was caused by you, causing me to lose a considerable amount of merit!"

Nezha quickly dropped the immortal peach in his hand and ran over with a flattering smile, saying, "Aren't they just a few evil spirits? Take me to kill them!"

Taiyi Perfected Being shouted, "These are all mortal souls. If you kill them all, then Myriad Tribulations will never return!"

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and made a single-handed gesture. A Azure Lotus in the Azure Pool in the Cave Mansion flew into his hand, radiating a five-colored light.

Then he left the cave and said, "Fellow Daoist, the evil disciple is unruly and accidentally injured your precious child. But Nezha is after all the reincarnation of a spiritual pearl, assisting Jiang Ziya in exterminating the Shang Dynasty. He follows the command of the Primordial Beginning and this five-colored Azure Lotus is an Innate Spirit Root. I will give it to Fellow Daoist as compensation. How about that?"

Lady Shi Ji thought to herself that Taiyi Perfected Being was, after all, a Great Principal Golden Immortal. Even if she blocked his door with billions of souls, she would hardly be able to harm him in the slightest. It was better to stop while she was ahead.

She said, "Red flowers and green leaves, the Azure Lotus root. The three teachings were originally one family. For the sake of our masters and senior brothers, I will spare Nezha for now. I hope Fellow Daoist will properly discipline your disciple and not let others think that we disciples of the Xuanmen are all demons of the Demon Dao!"

Taiyi Perfected Being's three corpses were raging with anger, but he couldn't erupt. He could only say, "I understand. I will definitely not let Nezha cause trouble again!"

Lady Shi Ji snorted coldly, collected the countless souls, and left with the five-colored Azure Lotus.

Above the East Sea.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Xia Yi turned around and saw a Taoist riding a white-striped tiger following behind him.

Thanks to Xuchangshu for another generous reward.
