Chapter 707: The Ziwei Emperor Star! The Little Brats Are Not Ordinary!

Cinian glanced at the Vajra Umbrella, his gaze unchanging, and smiled warmly as he spoke, "Island Master Yan, you’re quite generous!"

He instructed Shandu to pack the items into a new Qiankun Bag, then performed a Buddhist salute and, feeling quite pleased, said, "Thank you, all three of you, for your immense merit."

With that, he and his disciples left the private residence.

Cinian had mentioned taking charge of the Human World, and indeed, he went straight to the bulletin board in Jiuzhou Town and posted a notice. This was to inform everyone in the Immortal World that anyone who dared to cause trouble in the Human World should beware of losing their head.

Ji Chengyi was feeling the sting of losing his three thousand low-grade spirit stones and turned to question the others, "Those spirit stones aren’t much, but how could we just let that old bald monk bully us like that? How can you stand it?"

"Island Master Yan, I know you have many magical and immortal artifacts on Penglai Island, but you shouldn’t have given away the Vajra Umbrella! Isn’t that just handing Nanli a powerful weapon? She’ll use it against us in the future!"

Qingwu gestured for him to calm down. "Don’t worry, she won’t be able to use the Vajra Umbrella."

Yan Buxiu smirked darkly. "Indeed, the Vajra Umbrella is a magical artifact, and even I can’t wield it. How could she ever make use of it?" His smile grew more smug. "Giving her spirit stones doesn’t matter; she doesn’t have the fortune to use them!"

Ji Chengyi now understood the significance of the Vajra Umbrella. He stopped frowning and smiled, "I see! Island Master Yan, what a clever plan!"

Given Nanli’s current vision, she would no doubt be ecstatic upon seeing the immortal artifact and would eagerly accept it.

But for someone at the early Golden Core stage, attempting to wield a demonic artifact? They would soon find their soul devoured and torn apart by the umbrella’s malevolent influence!

Putting on an act, the three of them promptly withdrew the arrest warrant.

When Cinian heard this, he returned to the Human World with peace of mind.

Shandu, as the eldest disciple, asked, "Master, don’t we need to go back to the Divine Buddha Sect and explain ourselves?"

"Explain what? Waste words?" Cinian countered. "Remember, from now on, we will establish our own sect."

Shandu had no choice but to sigh and comply along with his younger disciples.

As the night wore on, they stopped along the way, planning to wait until morning before continuing their journey.

The weather in the Human World was clear, with the moon and stars shining brightly.

Cinian paused under the night sky, observing the stars for a long time. Suddenly, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "No... it can’t be... there’s... the North Polar Ziwei Emperor Star!"

The star was exceptionally bright.

Shandu, seeing his master’s excitement, walked over. "Master, what are you talking about?"

Cinian pointed up at the sky. "Do you see it? That’s the North Polar Ziwei Emperor Star!"

Shandu was confused. "Isn’t that just the Emperor Star?"

He looked up as well. "But... this Emperor Star hasn’t fully reached its position yet. There’s still some uncertainty."

"No, this is different from an ordinary Emperor Star," Cinian said, his eyes brightening further, his breathing quickening with excitement. "To put it simply, it’s the star of the Human Emperor! You have to understand, since the fall of the immortals, the Human Emperor has not appeared. Because he hasn’t governed the Human World, this land of the Nine States has lacked spiritual energy."

Shandu understood now, his eyes widening. "Master, are you saying...?"

Cinian nodded. "Yes, once the Human Emperor returns, this place will once again welcome the revival of spiritual energy!"

Shandu was even more excited than Cinian.

A monk hundreds of years old nearly jumped with joy.

You see, once spiritual energy is revived, the resentful spirits in the world will be purified, and they won’t have to go through all the trouble of performing exorcisms and rituals.

Cinian carefully observed the star again, even more delighted. "Master, this Ziwei Emperor Star is located in the north-south direction. It seems to be right over Mu Nation!"

Cinian smiled with approval. "That’s right, you’ve learned well."

Shandu asked, "Since the Human Emperor hasn’t yet returned, the imperial energy of the Ziwei Emperor Star hasn’t manifested fully. Should we go over and protect it?"

Cinian shook his head. "No. The star has its own connections. We shouldn’t interfere, lest we disturb its fate."

Shandu thought for a moment. "If that’s the case, then Mu Nation will soon experience the revival of spiritual energy, right? Master, you can predict this, so Qingwu and the others must know too. They’re so petty, how could they tolerate Mu Nation recovering its spiritual energy?"

Cinian laughed softly, spinning the prayer beads in his hand. "The aura of the Human Emperor has already manifested, and it’s not easy to meddle with it. Besides, their eyes aren’t as sharp as mine; they won’t notice the Ziwei Emperor Star right away. By the time they realize it, the Human Emperor will probably have already returned."

There was no need to worry.

Shandu, hearing this, relaxed completely.

The next day, they hurried back to Mu Nation’s capital.

Cinian briefly explained and expressed his apologies. "Nanli, if we were to fight them, we would likely not escape unharmed. But now, I’ve arranged for compensation on your behalf. Let’s just let this matter rest."

They still had to remain in the Human World, so it wasn’t wise to get into a deadly conflict with Qingwu and his group.

Nanli understood their predicament. "This is already very good."

When she saw the few thousand spirit stones and medicinal herbs, her eyes went wide.

But before she could even enjoy the surprise, her expression immediately darkened. "So they’re quite wealthy, yet they only gave so few spirit stones for the arrest warrant! Is my life really not worth much?"

Cinian sighed. "Nanli, your focus is a bit... unique."

Nanli paused for a moment, and then remembered that Chu Shuo and Xie Beihan had also said something similar before. She immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

It seemed that after spending so much time with them, she had been somewhat influenced.

She quickly returned to the topic. "Zen Master Cinian, I am deeply grateful for your support. Since you’ve come to the Human World, you must be lacking in spirit stones as well. Please, take some for yourselves."

With that, she began to distribute the spirit stones.

Cinian immediately stopped her. "No need, no need. I only requested the spirit stones for the sake of the child in your womb."

With his deep cultivation, he could clearly sense that the three little brats inside her were not ordinary.

Unless Nanli went to a place with abundant spiritual energy like the Upper Realm in the short term, it would be difficult for her to nourish the children properly.

He continued, "Although these few thousand low-grade spirit stones are not much, they should last for a while. Nanli, please don’t mind."

Nanli was touched. She couldn’t bring herself to say the overly sentimental words, but her eyes reddened, and she thanked him once again. "Thank you, Zen Master. I will not be polite."

The few thousand spirit stones were truly a lifeline for her, especially since she had used up quite a bit of her spiritual energy refining pills the night before. And with the little ones in her belly causing trouble, she had no choice but to absorb the spirit stones to replenish her energy.

By the end of the night, she had gone from poor to very poor, with only two thousand low-grade spirit stones and two hundred medium-grade spirit stones left.

Her remaining spirit stones would last her just ten or eight days.

In a way, Cinian’s gesture truly was a timely help!

Shandu then remembered the Vajra Umbrella. "Master, didn’t Island Master Yan also give an immortal artifact as compensation? Why not give it to Nanli?"
