Chapter 673: Chapter 535: Almsgiving Ceremony, Shachi’s Ritual!
Shachi pressed her palms together.
Her face was incredibly charming, her lips slightly upturned, carrying a gentle smile, resembling a blooming lotus.
While speaking, she lifted her hand and gently touched her belly.
"Grandmother!"
"No!"
"Mother, I am already carrying Indra’s child!"
A maternal smile appeared on Shachi’s face as she delivered the news straightforwardly.
"!!!"
Aditi’s eyes narrowed.
She hurried forward, reached Shachi’s side, supporting Shachi’s arm with one hand and gently touching her belly with the other.
"There are three kinds of glory: progeny, deeds, and knowledge!"
"It seems Indra is about to gain another glory!"
Aditi revealed a joyful smile.
Although she did not know how Shachi and Indra had come together, having a new daughter-in-law, and one she had previously approved of, naturally made her very happy.
The only problem now was...
There was still Xīmí!
Just as this thought rose in Aditi’s mind, she heard Shachi’s voice resonating beside her ear.
"Mother!"
"I heard that my husband and Earth Mother also conceived a child, is that true?"
Shachi turned her head, seemingly asking casually.
"..."
Aditi was slightly stunned.
Indeed, it was true, and she had taken care of it for a long time.
Aditi remained silent, shaking her head.
Shachi’s eyes, like lotuses, shone with a glow of wisdom, her expression still calm, showing no signs of panic, as if she understood everything.
However, she did not discuss this further but instead started another topic.
"Mother!"
"You once told me, you had held an alms-giving ceremony for the great Lord Jiayebo."
Shachi said.
"Almsgiving ceremony!"
Aditi looked at Shachi, shaking her head and muttering the words, a trace of reminiscence in her eyes.
"I once sought prosperity from my husband, but he did not fulfill it, so he decided to grant me a wish."
"So I held the ’Puniyaka’ ritual, bound my husband to a tree with a garland, offered him to Narada Immortal, and after Narada Immortal received the monetary gift, he released my husband, offering him to me!"
"That was the ’almsgiving ceremony’."
Aditi mentioned, glancing at Shachi.
She added a reminder, "The tree used for the ceremony should ideally bring prosperity!"
"!!!"
Hearing this, Shachi’s eyes sparkled.
"I understand, thank you, mother!"
Shachi pressed her palms together, touching the tips of her palms to her forehead, bowing gratefully to Aditi, exclaimed, "Thank you, mother, for this knowledge!"
"Suddenly remembered there is something else, I’ll come to pay my respects next time!"
Shachi was eager.
After saying this, she turned around, her body radiating light, transforming into a pillar of light and vanishing on the spot.
Aditi raised her hand, but grasped only air.
"She’s really in a hurry!"
Aditi sighed.
She had passed on this method to Shachi as compensation!
After all, Shachi was quite a good child!
But she hadn’t finished speaking yet!
"You must entrust your husband to a reliable person!"
Aditi murmured.
She had initially conducted the almsgiving ritual by approaching Narada Immortal, who then widely publicized it and called the others, including Aditi, resulting in problems at the final step, unresolved.
With that thought, sudden footsteps began to sound outside the thatched cottage.
Creak~
The door of the cottage pushed open again, and an unexpected figure appeared.
"Husband!"
Aditi exclaimed in surprise.
Reflected in her eyes was none other than [Jiayebo Immortal].
"Husband, why have you come?"
Aditi tilted her head, puzzled.
Her husband, Jiayebo Immortal, was usually immersed in the Power of Asceticism, and the days he visited were not many!
Not supposed to be now!
"Aditi!"
"My wife, there is something I need to tell you!"
Jiayebo Immortal shook his head, his voice grave.
"What is it?" Aditi blinked, already prepared to listen attentively.
Jiayebo Immortal took a deep breath.
He didn’t waste words, and directly said, "This isn’t a distant matter, initially [Gadalu] cursed the Nagas that they would be burned to death in the future, and in a burst of anger, I also cursed her to reincarnate into the Mortal Realm."
"I had promised her that I would accompany her too."
"I don’t know when, but I will have to reincarnate into the Mortal Realm, so I came to see you all!"
Jiayebo Immortal explained.
"!!!"
Hearing this, Aditi’s eyes slightly narrowed.
This was no secret.
Originally, all the Devas were there and witnessed Snake Mother [Gadalu] curse her own child to be burned to death, and in a moment of rage, Jiayebo also cursed Gadalu.
"Husband!"
"Are you leaving?"
Aditi asked anxiously.
"Don’t worry, it’s just a mortal lifetime." Jiayebo Immortal smiled faintly.
Aditi listened to these words.
Her eyes focused intensely on her husband, then slowly raised her right hand.
"Husband!"
"I swear!"
Swear! Swear! Swear!
Voices echoed from Aditi’s mouth, resounding in the room, causing Jiayebo Immortal to be stunned in place.
"When you reincarnate into the Mortal Realm, I also will reincarnate into the Mortal Realm and stay by your side!"
Aditi made a vow.
Her Power of Asceticism was like thunder, responding instantly to her oath, emitting thunderous roars that resonated within the soul.
Jiayebo Immortal was shocked in his place.
"Aditi!"
Jiayebo Immortal murmured.
"Husband!"
"I am willing to accompany you!"
Aditi revealed a serene smile.
...
Heavenly Realm.
With the return of Indra and many other Devas, palaces stood tall in the Heavenly Realm. In the golden Divine Temples, columns towered high, with Bright Pearl Coral and other treasures radiating light, illuminating all directions.
