Chapter 346: Chapter 314: Rapid Growth, Auspicious Thirteen Rituals! (Vote for monthly tickets!)
Indra blinked, quite speechless.
His usual weapons were nothing more than the Vajra Pestle, the Divine Spear, and the bow and arrow; he seldom used any other weapons.
As for Kashigyakya...
"With so many weapons, can he even handle them all?!"
Indra glanced at Kashigyakya.
He saw the divine child radiating golden light, with a faint touch of divinity within, as an image with six heads and twelve arms faintly emerged behind him.
Alright then!
This guy was a six-in-one entity with the capacity to manifest twelve arms—he truly could indeed handle them!
While Indra was internally criticizing, Mahadeva spoke up once again.
"Pass down your exquisite martial skills to him, share your wisdom of war with him, and impart your benevolent heart to him, so that he may defeat Toraga and rescue the entire Heavenly Realm!"
"He will become exceptional!"
"Until, under your guidance, he becomes the Commander of the Heavenly Realm, protecting the Devas, and repelling the Asuras!"
Shiva, holding the Trishula, spoke.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Devas flickered.
The Son of Mahadeva becoming Indra’s disciple was far better than being any other immortal’s disciple. Although they were not Kashigyakya’s teachers, they could still be considered his elders.
"Indra, your martial skills are unparalleled among the Devas, teach him!"
"Yes! Help him defeat Toraga!"
...
The Devas continued to speak one after another.
At this moment, Indra was also staring at Kashigyakya, his eyes flickering, as a thought crossed his mind.
"How could being the Heavenly Army Commander be enough?"
"Kashigyakya, as the Son of Mahadeva!"
"Is powerful!"
"If I teach him more, once he becomes powerful enough, he could indeed replace me!"
"When the time comes, I could suggest it, and directly have ’Heavenly Emperor Kashigyakya’—wouldn’t that be better?"
Indra thought to himself.
Fighting was simply out of the question; he would never engage in battle in this lifetime. His sole ability was to shoot out a rainbow slide, slide down together, and play in the water!
As for those Asuras!
Now that Kashigyakya had been born, the War God would handle them in the future.
Kashigyakya, as the Son of Mahadeva, would not be beaten too severely even if he took a beating.
Yep!
That’s the way it is!
With these thoughts in his mind, Indra nodded slightly and said,
"Praise be to the Supreme Lord!"
"I understand, I will teach him well. I believe the Heavenly Realm of the future will be the realm of the War God!"
Indra pressed his hands together in salute.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A faint smile appeared on Shiva’s usually stoic face.
Parvati also revealed a smile.
Indra was always more reliable than the other Devas!
Whoosh!
A thick white fog was about to emerge. The fog drifted, gradually enveloping both of them, covering their figures before disappearing completely.
"Let’s go!"
"We shall head for the Ocean of Milk now!"
Indra said.
Upon hearing this, the Pleiades Goddesses looked at each other, confusion apparent on their faces.
"Why are we not returning to the Heavenly Realm?"
"We were planning to visit the Moon Temple, to see Anusuye!"
Sambuti, one of the Pleiades Goddesses, spoke up, puzzled.
Indra shook his head.
"It’s good that you haven’t reached the Heavenly Realm yet!"
"The Heavenly Realm is now occupied by the Asuras, and you would likely be imprisoned if you went."
"Fortunately, the Devas have all moved to Narayana’s Vighna. If you want to find Anusuye, we’ll all go to Vighna together!"
Indra said.
At his words, the Pleiades Goddesses were taken aback, then came to a realization.
"So that’s what happened!"
"Let’s go to Vighna together!"
They huddled together excitedly, looking up at Kashigyakya in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, Kashigyakya had rapidly grown to appear two or three years old.
Indra nodded slightly.
Kashigyakya was growing very quickly, and Toraga might send Asuras after him; it would be safer to go to Vighna.
"Let’s go to Vighna!"
Indra said.
...
The third day.
Vighna, within the Temple.
A three or four-year-old child, with a golden necklace around his neck and clad in a golden garment, let out a playful laugh as he ran wildly through the Temple.
"He’s growing so fast!"
"Indeed, at this rate, he might become an adult in just six days!"
"Kashigyakya, come over here!"
The Pleiades Goddesses chatted and laughed as they crouched down and called for Kashigyakya.
Before long, a figure swift as the wind suddenly plunged into the embrace of his mother.
"Let’s go outside and take a look!"
"This is Vighna in the Heavenly Realm of Supreme Lord Narayana, the city of a thousand gates that never falls!"
Sambuti spoke with a smile.
Holding the child, the Pleiades Goddesses walked to the door, stepping forward to go out.
Swish!
The very next moment, divine light converged, and a figure dressed in a white ceremonial robe suddenly appeared.
The friendly Immortals, carrying their canes, bowed deeply and said,
"Pleiades Goddesses!"
"Please do not let the newborn child leave the house, stepping outside is an inauspicious act!"
The friendly Immortals spoke.
Inauspicious?
The Pleiades Goddesses were puzzled and confused.
"What does this mean?"
Sambuti asked with confusion.
The friendly Immortals’ voices were deep as they slowly explained, "There are thirteen auspicious children’s ceremonies. Within these, a child should not leave the house until after four months, lest it bring about inauspicious outcomes and calamities!"
"Is that so?"
Sambuti’s face was filled with doubt.
She had never heard of this ceremony!
"Yes!"
The friendly Immortals nodded their heads, assuring her with certainty.
Out of trust for the friendly Immortals, Sambuti nodded slightly and, holding her child, she lowered her head and said, "Let’s continue to stay in the palace these days!"
The sixth day!
Kashigyakya sat on a cushion, propping his chin with one hand, looking sullenly towards the main entrance.
By this time, he had already grown into a six or seven-year-old boy.
His physique was strong and full of vitality!
The eleventh day.
Kashigyakya was now appearing as an eight or nine-year-old boy.
The friendly Immortals came to his side with smiles, their tall figures casting a shadow over him as they stood before Kashigyakya.
"Today is the eleventh day!"
"The Naming Ritual should be held, and I wish to invite your teacher to come and perform the Naming Ritual for you, it’s time to prepare a banquet!"
The friendly Immortals spoke.
Upon hearing this, Kashigyakya’s eyes brightened.
Sambuti was also quite surprised.
The child had been cooped up for several days, and now it was a good time to meet others.
"Good idea!"
Sambuti quickly said.
Soon, at the Pleiades Goddesses’ summons, the Devas arrived one after another, gathering around Kashigyakya.
Indra’s eyes sparkled with surprise.
It had been just a few days, and he had grown so much in the blink of an eye!
He had grown so fast!
"Truly a lion of a child!"
Wind God Vayu exclaimed.
"Indeed!" Sun God Surya nodded slightly. "He is worthy of being the Son of Mahadeva!"
Fire God Agni also laughed and said, "It seems he will soon be ready to start learning!"
"Yes!"
"What a good day!"
Water God Varuna revealed a smile, blinked, and then suddenly, changing his tone, said, "This is indeed an auspicious day. Indra, to celebrate today, why not go for that demon’s delicacies, let everyone and Kashigyakya all have a taste."
Hearing this, the eyes of the other Devas lit up.
"Varuna makes a good point!"
"Yes!"
"On such an auspicious day, we should celebrate with pure food!"
The Devas all agreed.
Excitement glittered in Kashigyakya’s eyes as he looked forward with anticipation. Sambuti and the other Pleiades Goddesses also watched the scene with curiosity.
"Wait!"
Wait! Wait! Wait!
The friendly Immortals suddenly appeared, interrupting, "According to the thirteen auspicious children’s rituals, Kashigyakya, who was just born, should not eat anything other than breast milk until he is six months old!"
