A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 165 The Chaos Gourd

At first, the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace was quite harmonious. Even if some people were dissatisfied, they would at most just frown.

But with the arrival of the Thunder God, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"I've heard that Jade Void Palace was the Daoist temple of the Primordial Sage. I wonder what he would think if he saw his temple destroyed like this, and his disciples and grand-disciples didn't even glance at it."

"Oh? You didn't know that Jade Void Palace is a sacred place of a sage?"

"The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect came from here. The Twelve Golden Immortals were so majestic in the world back then. If you say you don't know the Twelve Golden Immortals, I can believe you. But if you say you don't even know the Jade Void Palace, I really doubt your knowledge."

Inside the main hall, the Jade Emperor gently pressed his temples. These immortals were usually silent, but when it came to the matter of the Chan Sect from back then, they would talk endlessly about it.

Fortunately, there aren't many immortals from the Chan Sect in this Heavenly Court.

As for Nezha, the little boy is currently on duty at the South Heavenly Gate.

Otherwise, the main hall would probably be in complete chaos.

The Jade Emperor raised his hand slightly and said calmly, "The matter of bestowing an official title upon the cat cannot be decided in a day or two; it needs further discussion."

"I think this matter should be left to the God of Wealth."

Zhao Gongming was taken aback. Should he go and do it?

He just wanted to help his senior brother, Little Cat, get a position in the Heavenly Court as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't be targeted by anyone when he walked around the Heavenly Court in the future.

If he were to handle it, he would need to go to the Land of Nothingness to inform his teacher about the matter.

But just thinking about the teacher's sarcastic tone gave Zhao Gongming a headache.

"Your Majesty, I am usually very busy. My Ministry of Finance is in charge of the money of the Three Realms. Whether it is the human world, the immortal realm, or the underworld, all the money needs to be handled by me. I really have no free time."

The Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly.

Whether you have the time or not is one thing; whether you dare to go to the void is another.

After saying so much, the truth is I just don't want to get criticized.

Does the Jade Emperor, as the ruler of the Three Realms, really want to make himself miserable?

The Jade Emperor remained calm; he didn't care, leaving the matter to these people to handle themselves.

Since this kitten is their senior brother and uncle, if these people don't take care of it, who else can?

The Jade Emperor slowly rose to his feet: "This matter is settled. If no one dares to take it on, then let it be put on hold for now. I'm not in a hurry anyway."

A land of nothingness.

Inside the Taoist temple, Su Bai lay on the ground, curiously looking at the small gourd in front of him.

This gourd is not very big, but it is surprisingly heavy.

Even if Su Bai exerted all his strength, he could not budge it in the slightest.

But as a cat, the more he sees something that interests him, the more curious he becomes.

Su Bai is now at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm.

This physical strength is no less than that of an ordinary Earth Immortal.

In particular, his cultivation of both body and mind made his physical strength even more formidable.

Su Bai raised his paw and slammed it down on the gourd with a speed invisible to the naked eye.

In his view, with the power and acceleration, as long as he slaps down with this claw, not to mention this gourd, even the Golden Crow's brain would be smashed into pulp.

To his surprise, the power had indeed been increased to its maximum, and the speed had also reached its fastest.

The claw slammed solidly into the gourd, but the gourd was unharmed. There was a crisp crack, and the claw broke.

"Meow!"

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Su Bai's scream, the old Taoist priest rushed out of the house immediately.

Seeing Su Bai rolling around on the ground, and then looking at the gourd that remained motionless, the old Taoist instantly understood what was going on.

The old Taoist priest walked up to Su Bai, gently picked him up, and blew a breath on his paws.

Although the bone was set, the intense pain persisted.

"You little cat, you really don't know what's going on! Do you even know what's inside this gourd?"

Su Bai looked at the old Taoist priest with teary eyes, her tongue constantly licking the cat's paw.

"This gourd is the Chaos Gourd. When the Dao Ancestor finished his sermon, the Three Pure Ones passed by the innate gourd vine and each picked one."

"There are seven gourds on the innate gourd vine, and each gourd has different abilities."

"And this gourd is the Chaos Gourd. It contains endless chaos, and its weight is immeasurable. If you can move it, that would be truly miraculous."

Su Bai took a deep breath, burying the throbbing claw in his chest, and asked in confusion, "Since no one can lift it, why did Second Uncle ask me to bring this thing back? Could it be that besides chaos, there's something else inside?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest was taken aback.

He picked up Su Bai, got up, and went to the gourd. He bent down and casually picked up the gourd.

The old Taoist priest stared intently at the gourd, as if trying to see through it.

However, its interior is a chaotic void, and even a sage cannot see what else is inside besides the chaos.

As for opening it, that's even more impossible.

Even a tiny wisp of the chaotic energy within is incredibly heavy; if it weren't for the gourd's owner, the slightest carelessness could have destroyed this void.

The old Taoist priest frowned.

Su Bai is right.

Since no one can lift this gourd, why go to all the trouble of retrieving it?

In order to bring this gourd back, not only was the Jade Void Palace destroyed, but Yuanshi also destroyed that clone without the slightest hesitation.

Unless there's some secret hidden inside this gourd.

The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and reached towards the mouth of the gourd.

Just as they were about to pull out the stopper, Yuanshi's voice suddenly came.

"Junior brother, be careful."

The old Taoist priest frowned, glanced slightly in the direction of the Immortal Sect, pondered for a moment, and finally slowly lowered his hand, saying, "Take it yourself."

"No, let the cat give it to me."

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest was displeased.

"My apprentice, or your apprentice? Have you no shame?"

Yuanshi was not angry, and said in a calm tone, "As long as you have him deliver this gourd to me, I will take out what is inside and then give the gourd to him."

Yuan Shi's voice was not concealed in any way, and Su Bai also heard Yuan Shi's words.

Hearing this, he was indeed tempted.

This thing is frighteningly heavy; even he, who had become an immortal, could not shake it. If used to smash people or launch a sneak attack, it would be even more useful than the Heaven-Turning Seal.

Perhaps even the Heavenly Seal is not as good as this Chaos Gourd.

Su Bai looked up at the old Taoist priest and asked, "Master, which is more powerful, this thing or the Heaven-Turning Seal?"

The old Taoist stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Fantian Seal was made from half of Buzhou Mountain. Although Buzhou Mountain was formed from Pangu's spine, its essence had long been gone. Otherwise, it would not have been so easily broken by Gonggong of the Wu Clan."

"As for this Chaos Gourd, refining it is not an easy task. But if it is truly refined, let alone a god, even a quasi-saint would be bedridden for a while if struck by it."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Su Bai suddenly stood up.

The old Taoist priest glanced at him, scoffed, and said, "Your claws don't hurt anymore?"
