Undying Celestial Silkworm, Guard Against Thieves in Your Own Home

At the Summit of the Sacred Tree, a fierce Astral Wind, and despite the scorching summer sun, the temperature there is surprisingly pleasant.

A group of Celestial Silkworm, each as thick as a finger, were hidden among the dense branches and leaves of the Sacred Tree; they were difficult to spot without careful observation.

Five years ago, after discussing it with the Sacred Tree, Wu Chu raised the two Celestial Silkworm that Fuxi had given him on the Sacred Tree and fed them with the Sacred Tree's tender leaves.

As far as the Sacred Tree is concerned, it would naturally feel uncomfortable having these two parasites living on it, not to mention that they would reproduce and form a colony.

At first, Sacred Tree refused.

But after Wu Chu tempted it with the Merit, it became truly enamored.

Over the past five years, these two Celestial Silkworm have multiplied into a population. After producing offspring, these two Celestial Silkworm did not die directly as Wu Chu had imagined. Instead, after laying their eggs, they burrowed back into their cocoons and began to hibernate.

Perhaps it's the longevity characteristic of Primordial World species! These two Celestial Silkworm are clearly not like ordinary silkworms, which lose their lives immediately after reproducing.

However, even after dormant inside their cocoons for five years, they still did not emerge.

If it weren't for the lingering life force emanating from those two cocoons, and Nuwa's explanation of the Celestial Silkworm's habits, Wu Chu would have truly believed they were long dead.

Unlike ordinary silkworms, the Celestial Silkworm undergoes Nine Transformations in its lifetime, with each transformation resulting in a dramatic increase in its cultivation level. Of course, the process of these Nine Transformations is not always smooth sailing; it is possible that it might die during its dormancy.

The quality of their offspring varied greatly; apart from a few Celestial Silkworm, the rest of the clan consisted almost entirely of ordinary silkworms.

However, this did allow Wu Chu to accumulate a considerable amount of silk over the years.

Looking at the silkworms hidden among the branches and leaves, listening to the chirping of insects and birds carried by the Astral Wind from the mountains and fields, and looking at the flowers swaying in the Flower Valley below the Sacred Tree... feeling the vibrant life force emanating from all things, Wu Chu silently opened his arms, closed his eyes, and let the Astral Wind brush against his cheeks, blowing his long hair and clothes.

In the valley below the Sacred Tree, several golden pheasants were searching for food in the woods beside the flower fields. One of them even had a brood of chicks with it, clucking as they communicated. The Tower Ship by the dock swayed with the waves, and Red Giant Fish frolicked beside them.

What Wu Chu found strange was that he didn't "see" the Little Deer Cub that usually liked to play in the lake with the big fish, and even the Fat Dog, who was usually too lazy to move and would only move a little when forced, had disappeared.

Wu Chu shook his head. If this weren't in the Primordial World, a dog that had been raised for twenty years would be considered an old dog, so Wu Chu stopped being so demanding of the Fat Dog.

Although the Fat Dog also knows how to cultivate, given its potential, it's still uncertain whether it will be able to successfully Transformation Form in the future.

Perhaps because these Primordial World species were born Innate Beings, the difficulty for them to Transformation Form was much greater than Wu Chu had imagined.

At least Wu Chu had never seen any of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf Clan who Transformation Form.

Of all the beings on the entire Purple Jade Mountain, only Little Moon Spirit has Transformation Form so far, and even then, Little Moon Spirit's ability to Transformation Form is thanks to the Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple.

Silently shaking his head, Wu Chu took out the Beast-Binding Rope.

At this moment, the Beast-Binding Rope had shrunk to the size of a finger and was hanging in Wu Chu's hand.

The Beast-Binding Rope is entirely golden. Although it resembles a rope, it is not a spiral double-stranded rope made by twisting two Dragon Tendon together. Instead, it is a single-stranded rope that is smooth and translucent like amber. It can stretch and contract freely and can also transform into silk threads to wrap around the wrist or hide in a wide sleeve.

When in use, simply channel some magic power into the rope, and it will fly out and imprison the enemy as if controlled by an arm.

Of course, this only works if the enemy's cultivation level isn't too much higher than his.

With his current cultivation level, which has just entered the Earth Immortal Realm, he couldn't even control Little Moon Spirit three seconds. She could easily break free, and might even seize control of the Spirit Treasure, thus trapping Wu Chu instead.

Wu Chu wasn't surprised by this, after all, for a being with the cultivation level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, dealing with a being with the cultivation level of the Earth Immortal Realm was really as easy as playing a game. Unless this Beast-Binding Rope could also have an autonomous True Spirit like his mobile phone and be able to control itself.

Wu Chu casually pointed, and the Beast-Binding Rope in his hand shot out like a yellow flash towards the large lake below. The Beast-Binding Rope, as thin as a thread, retracted, binding a small fish about a foot long. The fish, which had been unable to move under the Beast-Binding Rope's restraint, began to struggle and thrash about after Wu Chu withdrew Beast-Binding Rope. With a flick of his wrist, Wu Chu sent the fish flying over the Main Hall and landing directly in the pond in the back garden.

"A Chu, would you like some braised dragon claws?"

Little Moon Spirit's little head appeared at the kitchen doorway, looking at Wu Chu and asking.

The dragon claw was so enormous that what Little Moon Spirit called "braised dragon claw" was actually a section of the dragon claw toe cut off from the dragon claw. It was very chewy and perfect with alcohol.

"I'll have some!" Wu Chu nodded and said, "And some Dragon Bone Wine too."

The Spirit Nai Wine had long been drunk up by Wu Chu. The wines nowadays are all brewed from wild fruits, with the most that are mixed with Wild Mountain Ginseng or dragon bones.

Ginseng wine with Wild Mountain Ginseng is milder, while Dragon Bone Wine is much stronger, especially Dragon Bone Wine made with dragon bones that haven't had their active ingredients removed. Wu Chu didn't dare drink it at all.

These strong liquors were used to entertain great gods like Fuxi.

Little Moon Spirit responded and turned to get wine for Wu Chu. At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds gathered in this part of the sky.

Wu Chu was staring blankly at the sky, feeling puzzled by the unpredictable weather; even the Primordial World Heavenly Dao weather forecast was inaccurate. Then he heard Little Moon Spirit's voice coming from the storeroom, "Yoyo, what are you doing hiding here? And A Qiu, you guys..."

Wu Chu turned his head with a strange look and saw the Little Deer Cub swaying as it ran out of the storeroom. A Qiu, with its head drooping and its fat body swaying, followed behind the Little Deer Cub, occasionally letting out a drunken burp.

"They went to steal some wine?" Wu Chu looked speechlessly at his two drunken, disoriented pets. "Truly, it's hard to guard against thieves within the family!"

He never imagined that the two of them would sneak off to steal wine and get so drunk. After all, the Little Deer Cub was a divine beast cub of Celestial Immortal caliber.

As for the Fat Dog, that's understandable, since the Fat Dog's cultivation level is too low, while Wu Chu's current cultivation level is much higher than that of the Fat Dog.

Little Moon Spirit was also speechless, looking awkwardly at Wu Chu, "A Chu, they've drunk three whole barrels of that strong Dragon Bone Wine..."

Little Moon Spirit considered it her responsibility to keep the Little Deer Cub alive, and now that she saw the Little Deer Cub had caused trouble, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking that it was all her fault that things had turned out this way.

"Now is not the time to assign blame. We need to stabilize the magic power within the Little Deer Cub first, otherwise, our Purple Jade Mountain will be hit by another torrential downpour."

As they were talking, rain began to fall from the sky, gradually turning into fine threads that densely wove the heavens and earth together.

"Sigh! It's too late, it's already starting to rain," Wu Chu said helplessly.

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out from the sky, "Could it be that even heaven and earth are moved by our return?"

"..."
