(Seeking follow-up reads) Narada Muni’s voice carried a bewitching tone, his words sounding very sincere, as if they were full of reason.

As he spoke, Narada Muni wore a slight smile.

His eyes twinkled as he looked around, yet he did not catch sight of Indra’s figure.

“Isn’t the Heavenly Emperor here?”

Narada Muni inquired.

Fire God Agni wore a thoughtful expression and said, “The Heavenly Emperor is preparing a counterattack plan, to strike back at the Heavenly Realm…”

Clap!

Narada Muni clapped his hands sharply, producing a crisp sound, then, spreading his hands, he said with a smile, “Counterattack plan?

Isn’t that just like what the Supreme Lord was thinking?

So where did the Heavenly Emperor go?”

While speaking, he held the Vina and walked out of the temple to start looking.

The Devas also stopped their banquet and began to search with Narada Muni in Sudarśana City for Indra’s whereabouts.

“He’s not here in the Miscellaneous Grove Garden!”

“Nor here in the Celestial Chariot Grove!”

…

Narada Muni and the Devas searched one by one.

Wind God Vayu acted swiftly, carrying a fierce wind as he searched through the palaces of Sudarśana City, fluttered the skirts of the Apsaras, swept past precious trees, producing a rustling sound.

“Where?”

“Heavenly Emperor, where are you?”

Vayu was worried, looking around from afar.

Finally, in the Miscellaneous Grove Garden.

Beneath a Bodhi Tree.

Wind God Vayu saw the familiar figure he longed to find.

His eyes widened in surprise, he suddenly stilled in the air, retracting his hand in front of him, looking forward with a mixture of shock and fear.

“Power of Asceticism!”

Vayu muttered to himself.

He took a closer look.

Underneath this Bodhi Tree, the Heavenly Emperor Indra lay back with his arms cushioned behind his head, clad in simple white clothes, with waves of the Power of Asceticism rippling continuously around him.

If he had not sensed the familiar Divine Power, he would have barely recognized that this was Indra.

And furthermore…

The Heavenly Emperor was again in ascetic practice!

Seeing this scene, Wind God Vayu clicked his tongue, turned his head, and went to find Narada Muni.

Whoosh!

If Narada Muni asked him to find the Heavenly Emperor, then let Narada Muni awaken the Heavenly Emperor himself!

“Found him!”

Vayu flew to Narada Muni and the other Devas and announced.

Narada Muni’s eyes lit up.

“Where is the Heavenly Emperor?”

Narada Muni asked.

Vayu grinned, pointed towards the direction of the Miscellaneous Grove Garden, and said, “The Heavenly Emperor is over there, let’s go together.”

Soon, led by Vayu, Narada Muni and the Devas reached the Miscellaneous Grove Garden, approached the lakeside, and saw the Bodhi Tree with lush green leaves and Indra beneath it.

The Heavenly Emperor?

The smile on Narada Muni’s face stiffened.

He widened his eyes, looked once over, and indeed, it was truly the Heavenly Emperor.

Then he closed his eyes, blinked forcefully, and upon opening his eyes again, he saw strands of the Power of Asceticism swirling around Indra like lightning, all confirming that the Heavenly Emperor was in the midst of ascetic practice.

“I heard from Garuda that the Heavenly Emperor was previously in ascetic practice, and now it seems to be true.”

“But this way, it might be difficult to wake him.”

Narada Muni said.

As the Bewitching Hermit, he had bewildered countless people, and naturally had his ways with ascetics.

Moreover, he wouldn’t take action himself; having others do it was more entertaining.

Stroking his Vina, his gaze shifted as he made a suggestion.

“How about this?”

“Summon a few Apsaras to dance around the Heavenly Emperor.

Maybe that could awaken him?”

Narada Muni said with a smile.

The graceful figures of Apsaras were the ultimate temptation for ascetics, often causing them to interrupt their practice.

Surya remained silent, Wind God Vayu turned his head away, and both the Fire God and Water God also fell silent.

Last time, they remembered very clearly!

Garuda was cursed for having disturbed Indra’s ascetic practice.

Although their relationship with Indra was good, interrupting an ascetic’s practice could result in a terrible curse from the Heavenly Emperor’s wrath.

Furthermore, disturbing an ascetic’s practice was a sin against the Righteous Law.

Mahadeva from above would also not be pleased to see it!

“This might not be a good idea!”

“Ascetics are protected by Mahadeva, let alone ascetics who are the Heavenly Emperor.”

Surya shook his head.

Fire God Agni also spoke up, speculating, “The Heavenly Emperor’s asceticism might be to figure out a way to defeat Jīnchuáng.

Let’s not disturb him.”

Wind God Vayu nodded, looking at Indra under the Bodhi Tree and pondering slightly.

“That makes sense!”

“We don’t necessarily have to be able to fight against Jīnchuáng to test him.”

Wind God Vayu said.

“All you need is to be fast, and more importantly, to go anywhere you want, where nothing can stop you.

Jīnchuáng won’t be able to catch you, and you don’t even need to be a Deva!”

“Hey…”

“When you put it that way, it seems like there’s someone perfect for the job.”

Water God Varuna continued.

“Oh~”

In the midst of conversation, all gods nodded in sudden enlightenment.

Swish, swish, swish!

The gazes of many fell in unison.

The Devas’ eyes focused, and in an instant, they landed on Narada Muni.

The eyes of the Devas were intent.

Wasn’t Narada Muni under a curse that allowed him to roam freely, to go wherever he wished, with nothing to stop him?

Whether it was entering the Heavenly Realm, the Mortal Realm, or Earth, it was effortless.

Wouldn’t gathering information be easy for him?

Narada Muni was taken aback.

Their gazes crossed in the air at that moment, with surprise, astonishment, and sudden realization, until all converged onto one.

Hiss!

Narada Muni took two steps back, holding the Vina, and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

This isn’t right!

Things shouldn’t have developed like this!

“Praise Vishnu~”

“I think this matter needs careful deliberation!”

Narada Muni’s face squeezed out a smile as he quickly waved his hands.

The many Devas looked on in unison, their eyes clear, hands pressed together, devoutly praising.

“Praise Narada Muni!”

“Praise the son of Brahma, praise Narada Muni!”

…

In the midst of the many praises, the sky subtly changed hue, the cloud sea churned, converging into a smiling face of an old man.

Creator God—Brahma!

He had clearly heard all that had happened.

“Narada!”

“The Heavenly Emperor is in asceticism and must not be disturbed!”

“You understand the mission of the Protector God the best.

Since this task has been given to you, you should go first to scout for the gods!”

“I hope you won’t disappoint Vishnu’s expectations!”

Brahma spoke with a smile, his voice gentle.

Brahma was quite cheerful watching Narada, always causing trouble, be on the receiving end for once.

“Praise Lord Brahma!”

“Praise Lord Brahma!”

Wind God, Water God, Fire God, and Sun God looked up repeatedly, gazing at the image of Brahma, issuing reverent praises.

Brahma’s face bore a smile, and his heart felt even more delighted.

All the Devas were talented and spoke pleasingly, far better than Narada.

“Yes!”

“Father!”

Narada Muni’s smile was stiff, he shrank his neck, and pressed his hands together.

This time he really messed up!

Not only did he fail to get one over on Indra, but he also got played by these Devas.

Next time, he must pay them back!

Narada Muni wore a bitter smile, his thoughts filled with sarcasm.

He shook his head, took a step, and disappeared into Brahmaloka with a swish.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, the scenery before Narada Muni’s eyes shifted.

When his vision cleared, he found himself face-to-face with a pair of indifferent golden eyes.

Shock!

“!!!”

Narada recoiled in surprise, his form hesitated.
