Chapter 2466: Chapter 2464: Asura Heaven
After the Nie Family party left, the guests present rose one after another to toast and congratulate Nie Rongsheng.
Nie Rongsheng felt like he had won a grand prize, drinking with everyone, his head buzzing with excitement.
His daughter had become a disciple of Meng Po, which not only ensured his standing in Yue State, but also gave him significant influence in the Nie Family and the entire Yama Nation.
A disciple of an Immortal Monarch is not someone ordinary people can compare to.
Even the Tianyin Sect Leader, Nanguo Ren, of Yue State stepped forward to flatter Nie Rongsheng.
The group clinked glasses and caused quite a ruckus before finally dispersing.
Long Fei, Asu, and Nie Xiaoqian left early and had a cup of tea in Nie Xiaoqian’s boudoir.
Nie Xiaoqian happily exclaimed to Long Fei, "Master, you’ve really helped me a lot. If Brother Ning knows, he’d be overjoyed."
"He might be disappointed!"
Asu poured some cold water on her, "If your Brother Ning finds out you have an Immortal as a master, might he feel unworthy of you?"
Nie Xiaoqian said, "No, he wouldn’t. He’s not that kind of person. I believe his future achievements will definitely not be beneath mine."
"Ah, women in love!"
Asu shook her head, knowing that whatever she said wouldn’t be heard.
Long Fei instructed Nie Xiaoqian, "Pack your things. I’ll have someone send you over later. You might not be able to return home for many years, so chat well with your parents."
Nie Xiaoqian nodded, called in a maid from outside, and packed up her usual items and clothes.
She went alone to bid farewell to her parents. She had never traveled far before, and felt quite reluctant.
Asu suggested to Long Fei, "Good things come in pairs. Why don’t you find a master for Ning Caichen as well? The two of them in Yama’s Palace would have each other as companions."
Long Fei chuckled, "Do you think Yama’s Palace is a marketplace that anyone can enter? Just handling Xiaoqian’s matter cost me a hefty sum."
Asu curiously asked, "What did you do in Yama’s Palace? Is it convenient to share?"
"Not convenient."
Long Fei shook his head directly.
"So heartless!"
Asu pouted and lay down on Nie Xiaoqian’s bed, "Actually, even if you don’t say, I know. The Ancestral Master said long ago that Yama’s Palace hides the secrets of the Human Race in the Netherworld. The origin of your race probably began at Yama’s Palace."
Long Fei smiled at her, "Your Ancestral Master knows quite a bit; I’m increasingly looking forward to this meeting."
"I’m afraid the Ancestral Master will kill you!"
Asu hummed at him.
Long Fei laughed, "With you here, what do I have to fear? I’ll just tell your Ancestral Master that his disciple fancies me. If you kill me, she won’t live either."
"What a narcissist you are!"
Asu giggled and threw a pillow at him.
Nie Xiaoqian came back late with reddened eyes, indicating she had been crying.
Her parents followed, coming to see her off.
Long Fei and Asu went out and summoned the Chaos Beast.
Nie Xiaoqian took her belongings, wiped her tears, and knelt down to pay great respect to Long Fei and Asu saying, "Xiaoqian kowtows to Master and Sister Asu. Once I complete my studies, I will find an opportunity to reunite with Master and Sister Asu. By then, I’ll make plenty of Meng Po Soup for Master to drink."
"Alright, stand up!"
Long Fei helped her up.
She turned back and paid her parents a grand gesture.
Madam Nie clutched her, sobbing with reluctance.
Nie Rongsheng comforted her, "Alright, Xiaoqian is becoming a disciple of an Immortal, we should be happy."
Madam Nie nodded continuously, gave Xiaoqian many instructions before finally letting go of her daughter’s hand.
Nie Xiaoqian handed the Black Tortoise Blood from Long Fei to her father, asking him to pass it to Young Master Ning.
Nie Rongsheng agreed, assuring her not to worry.
Long Fei had the Chaos Beast send off Nie Xiaoqian, and also had her take a prepared letter to Meng Po.
After the disciple left, he and Asu bid farewell to the Nie couple and set out for the west together.
The continent of the Netherworld is vast, with the Eastern Yama Kingdom occupying just a corner, yet it’s a place where Yin Spiritual Energy gathers.
Heading westward, the Yin Spiritual Energy gradually weakens.
However, the Blood-Fiend Energy intensifies, making the place seem a bit more barren than the East.
The Asura Clan resides exactly in such places.
They were a race created by Old Ancestor Nether River, who imitated Nuwa in creating humans, but used his Blood River.
Unexpectedly, the Asura Clan created had too much Killing Aura, incompatible with the Heavenly Dao, thus not accumulating any Saintly merit.
Long Fei and Asu traveled through, encountering many cities.
To his surprise, these Asura Clan members had their own civilization.
Compared to Eastern cities, these cities had a distinct Exotic Lands feature.
They were either dome-topped or spire-topped, all built with local unique stone, and their sizes were not small.
The Asura Clan men appeared rather peculiar; according to human aesthetics, they were all incredibly ugly.
Like the Demon Race, they were born purely for slaughter.
Their body structures were like Mechanical People designed for combat, resembling mantises.
Their muscles were taut, legs bent, and they moved like springs while walking.
Each stood about five to six meters tall, muscular-bodied and their muscles bulged like small mountains.
The women, conversely, looked just like Human Race women, with excellent physiques and very enticing.
They were more petite than the men, standing only about two to three meters tall.
Asu introduced to Long Fei, "The Western Asura Realm consists of four major territories, each opened by one of the Ancestral Master’s four chief disciples. The Eastern one is called Zizai Heaven, the Western is Da Brahma Heaven, the Southern is Lust Heaven, and the Northern is Shiva Heaven. We are currently in the capital city of Eastern Zizai Heaven, ruled by the Great Ease King."
Long Fei asked, "Among the Four Heavenly Kings, who is the most powerful?"
Asu sighed, "They are quite evenly matched. If Central Deva King hadn’t been converted by the Buddha Sect, he would’ve been the strongest."
Long Fei, being knowledgeable in Buddhist Law, knew some tales about Emperor Shi Tian.
Originally an emperor of the Asura Clan, he later had conflicts with the Western Buddha Sect and was converted by the Patriarch Buddha into one of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons.
Betraying the Asura Clan, he instead became a protector of the Buddha Sect.
This is just rumor; there might be hidden secrets.
Asu led Long Fei and directly appeared outside the palace gates of the Great Ease King.
She posed as a commanding princess, shouting to the guards, "Quickly report to your Emperor that Princess Sophie of the Seventy-Two seeks an audience."
The gate guards, holding black long spears, looked Long Fei up and down from high above before hastily going in to announce their arrival.
Soon, a group of palace-dressed women approached.
Asu recognized one among them and immediately went up to engage her in conversation.
The woman kept glancing at Long Fei and occasionally covering her mouth to stifle a laugh.
Asu returned and informed Long Fei, "It’s unfortunate, the Great Ease King is not in. But we can use their transportation channel to go to Asura Heaven."
The place where Old Ancestor Nether River resides is an independent space, similar to the Thirty-Six Heavens of a Saint.
