Chapter 536: Chapter 467: Still Short of an Opportunity, An Extra Crown Added! (Massive 4000 Chapter Milestone!)
Milky Ocean, Vighna.
The Thousand-Headed Serpent King Shesha coiled into a bed, and he carefully unfurled the bone wings on his back, which he gently wafted like a feather fan, stirring a faint fragrant breeze.
The fragrant breeze was refreshing to the heart and delightful to the spirit!
Vishnu sat upon the Snake Bed, immersed in the scented wind. His handsome face, however, showed not a hint of joy but was filled with worry.
"The Heavenly Realm has been breached!"
"Brahma has really caused a catastrophe, there are too many Sinduras this time, difficult to handle!"
"First, go to find Indra!"
Vishnu murmured to himself.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than he pushed himself up with one hand from the Snake Bed and stood up.
He was going to have a serious talk with Indra!
Vishnu took a step forward.
Within this golden Thousand-Gated City, the golden-winged bird Garuda spread its wings and soars, coming forth through the thousand layers of gates.
Whoosh!
The great wind billowed as Vishnu stepped forward into it.
Just as he was about to land on Garuda’s back, a multitude of praising voices suddenly reached his ears.
"Poluo Keluota?"
Vishnu listened to the praising sounds in his ears, inhaling the aroma of offerings from the Fire Sacrifice, and his complexion slightly darkened.
Poluo Keluota was summoning him!
"Since you wish to see me, then I must go!"
Vishnu murmured.
Whoosh!
His figure flickered with brilliance, stepping across the many voids, and in an instant, he appeared before one altar after another.
The altar was grand, with flames flickering!
Poluo Keluota sat cross-legged there, lifting his head and gazing devoutly at the Supreme Lord above the flames.
At that moment, his eyes shone with a different kind of bright light.
"Supreme Lord!"
"In my family, we all wish to sacrifice to you!"
"I summon you with my asceticism, please stay here, my family will sacrifice to you, let us praise you and sing a hymn for you!"
"Please listen carefully and do not leave!"
Poluo Keluota clasped his hands together, his eyes shining, and the intense light of reverence burst forth.
"..."
Vishnu’s gaze sharpened, already noticing the abnormality in Poluo Keluota.
This individual was influenced by a force of indulgence.
Just as Vishnu was about to speak, Poluo Keluota continued, "Please agree!"
Vishnu’s expression shifted slightly.
He raised his hand, palm facing Poluo Keluota, and spoke.
"As you wish!"
As you wish! As you wish! As you wish!
The light voice echoed, Poluo Keluota’s lips moved slightly, and immediately around him, praising sounds arose.
"Born from the navel, lotus flower, supremely great!"
"Sustaining the universe, pervasive in the world!"
"Complexion like the clouds, auspicious and beautiful!"
...
Amidst the sounds of praise, Vishnu’s eyes flickered with concern.
Poluo Keluota’s praise was exceedingly devout, but the key issue was whether he would keep reciting it, chanting for hundreds of years, in which case Vishnu would be forced to stay here.
Then the Three Realms would be completely doomed.
Trouble!
...
Meanwhile.
Within Vighna.
A vast wilderness.
Kashigyakya stood on this vast expanse of land, holding two furled Soft Swords in his hands, his arms swinging, the blades outside the hilt moving like dusters with his motions.
Crash!
The ceaseless sound of sword blades clashing echoed around.
Kashigyakya’s hands wielded the coiled-blade soft sword, and his feet danced non-stop, leaping up and down like double Dutch and whipping up a whirlwind of excitement.
"Teacher!"
"How is my newly learned art of the soft sword?"
Kashigyakya twirled and exclaimed excitedly.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Suddenly, the sound of applause burst forth.
"Kashigyakya!"
"Not bad!"
Indra strode forward with big steps, approaching at a leisurely pace.
He turned his head to size up the continuously leaping Kashigyakya, whose coiled-blade soft sword was indeed creating quite a stir.
Albeit a bit ugly, looking like skipping rope.
But certainly, no ordinary person could get close.
"Where did you learn this soft sword?"
Indra asked, curious.
"Teacher!"
Kashigyakya came to a stop with both hands and said with an excited smile, "This is a technique taught to me by the Mountain-Casting Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, Indra shook his head.
The Mountain-Casting Immortal!
He was a renowned immortal, skilled in various supernatural abilities.
"The Mountain-Casting Immortal is pretty good!"
"I wonder if he’s married yet!"
Indra muttered to himself.
Kashigyakya was momentarily taken aback, then asked curiously, "Teacher, why do you ask if the Mountain-Casting Immortal is married?"
A flicker of movement passed through Indra’s eyes as he explained.
"It’s a long story!"
"The Mountain-Casting Immortal is of advanced age, yet due to his ugly appearance, he has no offspring.
"One night, he dreamed his ancestors were suspended upside down in a deep pit within Yama City, unable to find release!"
Indra said.
"!!!"
Kashigyakya frowned deeply and said in a heavy tone.
"Yama?"
"That’s going too far, the Mountain-Casting Immortal didn’t even tell me about this!"
"Moreover, Yama does not seem to be someone who metes out punishment at whim."
Kashigyakya muttered with a frown.
He felt very strange!
There seemed to be some inside story to this matter!
Indra smiled faintly.
"You are right!"
"The Mountain-Casting Immortal also found it odd, as all his ancestors were adept at rigorous ascetic practices and should have ascended to the Heavenly Realm, which is why after his own period of harsh austerities, he summoned Yama at ’Brahma Lake’."
"Only then did he learn the reason his ancestors were hung upside down."
Indra said.
"What?"
Kashigyakya asked curiously.
Indra clicked his tongue and began speaking slowly.
"He is not married!"
Indra said.
Lineage and the rites performed by descendants are crucial for immortals ascending to the Heavenly Realm!
If some immortals don’t have descendants, it’s very difficult for them to rise to the Heavenly Realm!
"Offspring are indeed important, but to imprison his ancestors in Yama City for that!"
