Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Seeing that his eldest daughter was completely appeased, Chu Ming felt relieved. He kissed each of the girls' little faces a few times, savoring the milky taste, and then lay down beside them to ponder things, letting the little ones play by themselves.

What he needs to ponder is the insights gained from his journey through the celestial realm.

However, when he thought of this, his first reaction was regret, intense regret!

In retrospect, after dealing with that male bodhisattva, Chu Mingkong realized that there were many areas where he could improve.

For example, when the male bodhisattva tries to convert him by dispersing his power, Chu Mingkong can completely feign a struggle to resist, and say something along the way.

—That was close! I almost got converted. If I had released any more of that power, I would have been finished!

To increase credibility, he could also chant "Amitabha" a few times and demonstrate the inherited skills left by the Bodhisattva of Boundless Intent, making Chu's temperament appear to radiate Buddhist nature.

This was done to trick the male bodhisattva into releasing more of his power.

Only in this way can the benefits be maximized.

However, it's not good to dwell on this kind of hindsight; it's best to just move on and move on.

Chu Mingkong still needs to be more careful in the future. He should take some time to go to the Abyss to completely refine the cultivation he has absorbed, leaving no blind spots or weaknesses for the Buddhist sect to exploit.

"Those monks didn't dare to enter the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace rashly. It seems that these places that can be called 'forbidden areas' are actually places with excellent security measures. If we go to the Heavenly Realm in the future, we can settle the women there."

As Chu Mingkong pondered, he began to mutter to himself. The babies, who were eating, turned around and glanced at him when they heard his voice, then continued eating.

But seeing how comfortably their father was lying there, they also felt tired and took his body as a pillow, lining up to lie down on him. After arranging their little sisters' bodies, the cat lay down and continued eating.

"I originally wanted to inquire about the Yin Shi this time, but I didn't expect to find out nothing. I hope that the Great White Fox can find out some useful information next time I go!"

There were indeed some setbacks in this regard, but overall it was still a success. Jianmu has been reopened, and the Heavenly Gate inside the Taoist Gate can also be reopened.

Compared to the Jianmu incident, the subsequent plundering of cultivation from the male bodhisattva is hardly worth mentioning.

"These days, all I need to do is go to the Abyss to completely stabilize that part of my power. Once my physical body is fully perfected, my soul will also reach the early stage of the eighth rank!"

After Chu Mingkong's spiritual cultivation reached the seventh level, he already felt that it was difficult to make any progress and that it was hard to improve, even when he was in the Heavenly Domain.

He couldn't really assess the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Realm, but it was definitely better than the spiritual energy of the lower realms. However, the difficulty in cultivation wasn't related to the heavens and earth, but rather that the gaps in this realm were too large to be filled.

"Now that the Heavenly Gate of Kunlun is about to reopen, we will have to return home and make some visits to various parties."

Chu Mingkong really didn't want to travel frequently, mainly because the Sword Emperor Dynasty was too far from Kunlun, and the time cost was extremely high.

However, the Shura King's teleportation artifact couldn't teleport the entire Immortal Treasure Pavilion away.

"Let's ask Qingse how her business has been these past few days and give her a heads-up."

Muttering to himself, Chu Mingkong took out a note and contacted Qingse. Qingse was probably busy with work and only responded to Chu Mingkong after finding a quiet place.

Qingse: [Huh, Your Highness has conceived a baby?]

Chu Mingkong couldn't explain, so he used his daughter as an emoji, sketching a cat's grumpy face and sending it to Qingse, while also mentioning the matter of returning to Kunlun.

For business reasons, Qingse might stay in the Sword Dynasty, but that's just a possibility. In any case, she still needs to have a contingency plan.

Qingse: [It's not that I don't want to go back or anything, it's just that we've only just arrived at the Sword Dynasty and we already have to return?]

It's true that they haven't been in the Sword Dynasty for very long, but they've experienced quite a lot. Gugu had her full moon celebration in Wine Fragrance Town, and she's still a while away from turning one year old.

Qingse's shops collapsed twice due to accidents. Although the business returns quickly, it is still in the growth and development stage, so it is not good to leave her, the boss.

Chu Mingkong: [You don't have to go back; the Sword Dynasty will be a permanent base there in the future.]

Qingse: [Your Highness, I really want to go out and hide for a while. These high-ranking officials' wives seem to want to try the real thing. I can't very well reveal your identity here, and I also have a hard time explaining to the customers who the original is... How about Your Highness gives me some new stock, and I can leave it here for the maids to gradually stock up on new items. I'll go out with you to avoid the limelight?]

This is ridiculous! Anyone who didn't know better would think you, Qingse, were involved in some kind of illegal business!

It's been a while since I've opened any blind boxes, and I can also take this opportunity to chat with the system girl.

Chapter 181 The Wooden Fish Spreads the Dao

Heavenly Realm, Palace of Illusion.

Xiao Zhu Yan sped back to the Spirit Palace, her movements swift and graceful, carrying Chu Mingkong's message to Wan Xiangyu and her mother, Zhu Tong.

However, when the little white fox got anxious, the way she explained things was, needless to say, quite effective.

Zhu Tong knew her daughter's temperament very well. She wouldn't blame Zhu Yan for not explaining clearly, but instead said:

"Little Zhu Yan, this is of great importance, say it again!"

The little white fox looked nervous, and before it had even finished nodding, it started stammering:

"It's like this, the monk called a lot of people... Sister Qiuchi and I went to support Lord Chu... The big guys in the sky also came and scared away the bald monk... Suddenly, Lord Chu and the others had to leave, and asked me to come back and say goodbye..."

"Are you sure you haven't missed anything? Think it through again!"

Zhu Tong squatted down and looked at the little fox, who was gesturing wildly as it explained the situation.

"Let me think about it some more... Sister Nongyu successfully passed her tribulation and went to support Lord Chu... After it was over, Lord Chu and the others became transparent, saying that they had to return to the lower realm... So I came back, and asked us to find out all the information about Empress Yueying. I will come back in the future."

The little fox explained that this was how it worked; every time she was asked to repeat it, she would reveal something different, each time a little different.

Zhu Tong asked several times, finally piecing together the information like a jigsaw puzzle. She praised Xiao Zhu Yan highly, making the little white fox's big tail sway proudly to the sky.

Wanxiangyu, who hadn't said much, also overheard what was happening outside.

She stepped out of the Palace of Illusion and glanced at the sky. The terrifying being had vanished, but it left those who looked directly at it with a lingering fear, making them wonder if any cloud they saw was a trace left by that being.

Besides, Chu Mingkong, that troublemaker who always started arranging flowers as soon as he appeared, also disappeared, and even Wanxiangyu herself couldn't quite figure out her feelings.

He was undoubtedly an extremely detestable person, but he was also the first person to bring back information about the past heritage of the Spirit Palace.

Zhu Tong, holding the little white fox, said to Wanxiangyu:

"The lords must have entered the Heavenly Realm using some kind of secret method. When the secret method disappeared, they had no choice but to disappear without even having time to say goodbye."

After a moment of silence, the tuberose responded:

"Yes, he's gone. You can still continue your cultivation here, but don't wander around this valley. That being was too powerful; her aura mutated many plants, and I can't even communicate with some of them anymore."

The inability to communicate means that if these plants start causing trouble, tuberose not only cannot stop them, but may not even be able to know about it in time.

A significant portion of the deterrent power of the entire Spirit Palace Forbidden Area comes from these ferocious plants.

"Alright, this should be especially reminded of Xiao Zhuyan, regarding Lord Chu's request to gather intelligence..."

"Such a big thing has happened here. In the coming days, the area around the forbidden zone will become 'lively' with various probing attempts. It's best to go out and investigate again after some time, otherwise you may not be able to return to the forbidden zone safely."

Chu Mingkong could easily break through the demonic miasma, but Zhu Tong didn't have that ability.

If the demonic miasma were to block the mouth of the valley, Zhu Tong's chances of returning to the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace for refuge would be slim.

The little white fox sat on its mother's plump breasts, its light, snow-white body pressing against the soft, bouncy ball of flesh, as if it had no weight at all.

Zhu Yan said in a clear and crisp voice:

"What kind of secret technique did you use, sir? I've never heard of it before. You really just disappeared right before my eyes. Even a teleportation array wouldn't be that powerful, would it?"

Tuberose rarely showed interest in this topic, and she murmured:

"It is probably... that he borrowed the strange magic power inherited from the Jinghuan Spirit Palace, using dreams as a guide to travel between the two realms."

"Does Sister Wanxiangyu mean that Lord Chu, who spoke to us and did so many amazing things, was just having a dream? Does that mean we are his dream?"

"Wait, am I dreaming? It's a real, clever fox!"

Tuberose smiled helplessly; she found it difficult to explain to the little fox:

"The truly powerful things are not the great powers that only highly skilled cultivators can access, but rather this world that encompasses even ordinary people. Dreams are the same; they can be seen as another world where ordinary people can enter, and cultivators can also enter."

When ordinary people enter a dream, the better ones can remember what happened in the dream, while the worse ones remember nothing when they wake up. However, cultivators can do even more by using the power of dreams.

This is why the former Palace of Illusion was able to leave behind a forbidden area here; its power is immeasurable.

What she was trying to say was that Chu Mingkong and those women relied on the mysterious power of the Jinghuan Spirit Palace, with the emphasis on the "Jinghuan Spirit Palace".

Of course, the tuberose jade drip illustrates a situation where cultivators whose physical cultivation far surpasses their spiritual cultivation find it more difficult to enter dreams, but such "specialized" cultivators are quite rare in the Heavenly Domain.

If you were to ask what gets your adrenaline pumping the most, making it irresistible and impossible to resist, it would probably be a lottery. Especially when the price to pay is high, the anxiety while waiting for the results becomes, and thus, the more addictive it becomes.

Therefore, it is often said that we must reject gambling and drugs!

Now that Chu Mingkong knows there's a manipulator, he's started using the "lucky draw" method, grabbing the babies' little hands and making them click the "invisible" lottery button.

The system will at least take care of the little babies to some extent.

Because Chu Mingkong had just done a 10-pull while holding the big cat, and got three red and seven purple items—

It was just a bunch of snacks, treats, and drinks.

This made the kitten extremely happy. Holding the food her father had given her, she excitedly asked:

"Is this some kind of magic gesture? It can conjure food with a single poke?"

The system girl was right next to them. She picked up Little Gugu and pressed the blind box lottery button, and several more plates of snacks appeared in front of the cat.

From Yuehe the Big Cat's perspective, she couldn't see the System Grandma, but she saw Little Gugu fly up on its own, reach out and poke the air, and then food appeared.

Chu Mingkong gasped, sensing something was wrong.

This cat is really being misled into thinking that delicious things can be conjured up, especially with the system adding this twist, it will be difficult to correct in the future.

But that's good too. If the cat can't conjure up food anymore, then he'll have to take the initiative to cling to him.

After a brief hiccup, Chu Mingkong returned to his normal blind box lottery routine.

Besides the usual jade toys, this time there's a new and interesting Buddhist item: a wooden fish and a matching stick for striking the wooden fish.

The wooden fish was shaped like a woman's peach, and the stick could basically be seen as a wooden staff, the same one used by Chu Mingkong...

The wooden fish also has some phrases engraved on it, such as "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao".

Chu Mingkong looked at the snickering system girl with a complicated expression. Not wanting to talk to himself in front of the babies, he could only mentally rage against the system girl:

"Should we do this?! If this stuff gets out, the Daoist sects will turn against each other!"

"Then how about switching to a Buddhist one?"

The system asked in return, gently stroking the cat's dimples, which made the cat a little scared.
