145. Source of Evil, Root of All Evil~!

Jiu Wu was just about to go to the Purple Mansion Palace to return his phone.

However, the Holy Son blocked their way halfway.

"Uncle-Master," the Holy Son bowed.

"Are you waiting for me?" Jiu Wu asked from mid-air.

"Indeed, Uncle-Master. From what you just said in your telepathic transmission, you actually said that Thousand Mile Sound Transmission is outdated?"

The Holy Son appeared polite and courteous, but in reality, he was filled with doubts.

Is Thousand Mile Sound Transmission outdated?

For tens of thousands of years, hasn't everyone been doing this all along? This is clearly a tradition in the Cultivation World!

Aside from the fact that the distance is too far and requires the use of Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, how could it be more convenient than the method of Thousand Mile Sound Transmission?

"You really don't know?"

"So, you've lost your phone too?" Jiu Wu stroked his chin and smiled. "Fine, I'll tell you then."

"This is a mobile phone!"

He took out his phone and logged into his account directly using the 'remember password' function. "See? With this phone, I can contact anyone, provided that the other person also has a phone."

"With a mobile phone, why would you need Thousand Mile Sound Transmission or Sound Transmission Jade Talisman? You don't need any of those!"

"Those contact methods are so outdated, they're practically like... eating raw meat and drinking blood."

Jiu Wu shook his head, looking very pleased with himself.

"If I could contact you so easily, why would I need to use the method of Thousand Mile Sound Transmission?"

"For example, two ordinary people, separated by a distance, our previous method of transmitting sound over a Thousand Mile Sound Transmission is like an ordinary person shouting at the top of their lungs."

"But with a mobile phone, you can contact the other person simply by speaking."

"Such a thing actually exists?" Even the Holy Son was somewhat shocked.

He didn't know the specific functions of a 'cell phone,' but the fact that it could easily contact others was still quite useful.

"You... are right too."

Jiu Wu carefully put away his phone, then glanced at the Holy Son and said, "This is something Qi Zixiao made. It's normal that you don't have it."

"I do have a few more here, but I can't just give them to you. Do you want them?"

"If you want it, go find Qi Zixiao yourself!"

Holy Son: "..."

"Uncle-Master, this disciple does not want it."

The Holy Son stated that he did not want any cell phone.

"What ever."

I don't believe you!

Jiu Wu chuckled and ignored the Holy Son, then flew away quietly.

Back in his Cave Residence, the Holy Son was depressed.

"Qi Zixiao... what strange and bizarre things have you come up with this time?!"

"Someone come here!"

At his command, the waiting Protector Disciple immediately stepped forward. "Your Highness?"

"Now, within the sect, there is something called a cell phone... Go and find out about it, and bring one over. This Holy Son wants to see what it is."

"Remember, it is Holy Son requirement that you not reveal this."

"Cell phone?"

The Protector Disciple were somewhat bewildered, but they still obeyed the order and left.

After they left, the Holy Son rubbed his temples, feeling utterly dejected.

Why does everything feel so chaotic?

"The changes in the past month or so have been too great..."

Purple Mansion Palace!

Mo Daolin reclined on his 'throne' and looked at the newcomer.

"Junior brother, speak."

Below, an Old Taoist priest dressed in a magnificent purple robe looked heartbroken and suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Senior Brother!"

"Junior brother has come to complain!"

"Your precious disciple, the Saintess Qi Zixiao, obtained a method of playing a game of chess from the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven, and then revealed it to others!"

"But this game called Mahjong is extremely evil. Disciples who learn it all become addicted to playing and neglect their cultivation. It is simply the Source of Evil and the Root of All Evil!"

"Not only that, but the disciples in those Alchemy Room have become so engrossed in their hobbies that they have even forgotten their duties!"

"My disciples from Purple Bamboo Peak went to collect the pills, but not only did they not receive them, they were also kicked out because they were too noisy."

"When Li Fu went to demand an explanation, he was beaten up and thrown out by his fifth senior brother. He... was also addicted to mahjong and couldn't extricate himself!"

The Old Taoist in purple robes was none other than the Purple Bamboo Peak Master, Purple Bamboo True Person.

At this moment, he was filled with bitterness!

Purple Bamboo Peak is ranked quite high, yet it was bullied like this. Upon receiving the news, he was furious and wanted to go and demand an explanation.

result...

Well, from a distance, it looks like it's Jiu Wu?!

Purple Bamboo True Person was dumbfounded and didn't dare to cause trouble in front of Jiu Wu. He originally planned to let the matter rest, but when he returned to Purple Bamboo Peak, he was shocked!

The disciples of Purple Bamboo Peak have even learned to play mahjong, and they're playing it with great enthusiasm!

This made Purple Bamboo True Person extremely uncomfortable, how could he possibly bear it?

But he didn't dare to cause trouble for Jiu Wu... because when Jiu Wu got angry, he really dared to beat him up too!

After thinking it over, all I could do was run over to Mo Daolin to complain.

"Is this really true?"

Mo Daolin blinked. "This..."

"That is indeed the case, Senior Brother. I have come here to ask you to issue an order to completely ban mahjong, this evil thing that Source of Evil and the Root of All Evil wickedness!"

"Bullshit!"

Just then, an angry shout rang out, and Jiu Wu rushed over in a rage. "Nonsense, slandering someone's innocence, utter rubbish!"

"Jiu Wu, you!"

Zizhu glared, her eyes wide with anger. "This is utterly unreasonable, uttering nothing but foul language..."

"What do you mean it's foul language? You're the one using foul language, your whole family uses foul language!"

Jiu Wu was incredibly assertive. "How has mahjong become the Source of Evil, the Root of All Evil? Do you know that mahjong contains profound truths about life and can help my Purple Mansion Disciple comprehend the Great Dao?!"

"How long has Dan the Fatty been at the Golden Core Peak? After getting into mahjong, he's almost at the mid-Nascent Soul stage now!"

"Where is Snow Maiden- onna? How long ago did she break through to the Nascent Soul stage? She's already at the mid-Nascent Soul stage!"

"Why? It's all because they played mahjong!"

"Senior brother, this mahjong is truly a wonderful thing. It can help us cultivators regulate our mind and body, cultivate our character, and even help us disciples comprehend the Great Dao!"

"If you ask me, we should promote it extensively. Not only disciples, but also elders and even grand elders should study it carefully."

"From now on, it would be best to cultivate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and play mahjong on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays..."

"Jiu Wu, how dare you!"

Purple Bamboo True Person was enraged.

"You still want to promote such a wicked thing? Don't think I don't know you're clearly addicted to mahjong and can't break free!"

"Your suggestion is clearly an attempt to shake the very foundation of my holy land!"

"Holy Master!"

He no longer addressed Mo Daolin as "Senior Brother," but instead called him "Holy Master," and earnestly pleaded, "Holy Master, please investigate!"

"Bullshit!"

Jiu Wu jumped up and down, cursing.

A complete ban on mahjong?

This won't do!

What am I here for? I just want to play mahjong with you guys and make a fortune! And you're banning me like this? How am I supposed to win your prize now?

Naturally, Jiu Wu had to jump out and fiercely oppose it.

"Enough!"

Mo Daolin spoke, followed by a moment of silence.

"Mahjong, originating from... the general principles?"

"If Zixiao said it herself, how could it be false?" Jiu Wu glanced at him and said, "Some people are really pedantic and stubborn."

"Don't you even consider that if it were a demonic or evil entity, how could it be included in the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven?"

Purple Bamboo True Person that he was blowing his beard and glaring, but for a moment he couldn't find the words to refute him. He was so angry that he was practically fuming.

Mo Daolin: "..."

He didn't understand why, but he knew very well what kind of person Jiu Wu was.

"One-sided statements are not credible."

After cooling down, he said again, "Let me experience it."

"That's exactly how it should be!"

Jiu Wu immediately laughed.

Purple Bamboo True Person: "..."

Jiu Wu then said, "Senior brother, this mahjong game requires four people to play. How about we add Zi Zhu and invite Senior Sister Su to join us as well?"

"I will not touch such evil things!" Zizhu refused.

Jiu Wu said with a look of disdain, "Didn't you say this was just a mere plaything? What, you don't even dare to touch a plaything? You're still as cowardly as you were back then. No wonder you wet your pants."

"What did you say?!!!"

His hair and beard stood on end!

Purple Bamboo True Person immediately flew into a rage. "Come! I'll make sure you lose everything today, not even your underwear!"

Mo Daolin: "..."

Purple Mansion Palace.

A card game between top figures from the Purple Mansion Holy Land is about to break out!

at the same time.

Lu Yao and her group, who had left the Purple Mansion Holy Land, finally returned to the Jade Pool Holy Land via the nearest large Teleportation Array.

Recalling 'Sister Zixiao's' instructions, Lu Yao didn't stop for a moment. She found many talented junior sisters from Jade Pool Holy Land, distributed the 'cell phones' one by one, and taught them how to use them.

Even some elderly people passing by found it amusing and each asked for one...

As they left, the elders couldn't help but chat.

"Senior Sister Tian, this little gadget is quite interesting. What's your name?"

"Let's call Tian Qi then. I won't change my name or surname. Lately, I've been feeling a bit stuck and want to take a break for a while. What about you?"

"..."

Wine God Peak.

Fan Jianqiang is having trouble figuring out his ID.

Just now, Jiu Wu passed by and handed the 'phone' to Fan Jianqiang for distribution, and now he naturally wanted to have some fun with it.

After much thought, Fan Jianqiang finally came up with a good idea.

"Since my Little Junior Brother is so dedicated to cultivating immortality, then let's make a name for him and build up his reputation! There aren't many senior brothers who care about their junior brothers like me!"

Lu Ming from Wine God Peak - ID created successfully!

"Junior brother..."

Fan Jianqiang glanced at Lu Ming, who was fast asleep in the Cave Residence, and said earnestly, "You must remember to thank your senior brother in the future!"

Then...

This guy logged in, figured it out on his own, opened the 'User List Page', and started adding friends one by one.

I don't care who it is or whether they agree or not, I'll just add anyone I see!

After adding them, he didn't pay attention to it, but instead posted a text status on his "Moments".

Lu Ming of Wine God Peak: "Many people are attracted by immortality and are single-minded in cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao. But who knows that the path of cultivating immortality is full of difficulties and hardships?"

Give it up! Learn from us disciples of Wine God Peak, just be an ordinary person, do as you please, and be happy every day. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Shortly after I posted it, someone replied.

Tian Qi: "My friend, your words and views are far too negative. The path of cultivation is to go against the heavens. Without the determination to overcome all obstacles, how can one defy the heavens and achieve immortality?"

I'm having a little burst of updates, six chapters totaling over 18,000 words, which is roughly equivalent to ten chapters for most authors. Husbands and wives, isn't that a lot of effort?
