Chapter 650: Chapter 178: Golden Dragon: My Middle Years (Requesting Monthly Pass)
Xu Shu had some impression of Jia Jinbo, this person had appeared in the previous "Nine Dragons Snatching the Emperor" event too. He was the one who forcibly cleared the stage using a medicinal residue method and cured the infertility of Zhu Wu’s elderly mother—a formidable figure indeed.
He had thought he was just a Jianghu Doctor, but who would have known this man’s background was so enormous, actually being the Heavenly Palace Gatekeeper, the guardian of the Human Clan? His true depth was well hidden!
Although he didn’t know why the guardian of the Human Clan had become a gatekeeper for the Heavenly Palace, did that matter anymore?
Nowadays, the Heavenly Palace belonged to "the Azure Heaven," and since this acquaintance Jia Jinbo had shown up, "This Heaven lacks Dao; Zhu Wu" must also be about to emerge. The death of "the Azure Heaven" was not far off.
Binding oneself to Jia Jinbo at this time, wouldn’t that be akin to becoming Huhai’s personal soldier in 206 BC? That would be a clear path to death.
Although he was originally destined as "the Azure Heavenly Golden Dragon", if he were safely delivered to the Heavenly Palace, he would naturally be the Azure Heavenly Golden Dragon.
But now, destiny had shifted, and Xu Shu no longer wanted to be cannon fodder—his fate was in his own hands, not heaven’s!
[You successfully withdrew a "karmic binding" and, turning your head and tail, stirred up towering waves in an attempt to escape.]
[How badly you wanted to escape, but couldn’t—Jia Jinbo conjured a steel ring that transformed into a giant light hand and grabbed you in an instant, refining you completely.]
[You became a mini dragon the size of a palm, locked in a cage.]
[Those accompanying on the boat licked their lips: "Master’s Ultimate Skill of Dragon Capturing Hand is truly a divine mastery!" Seeing that you were a rare Five-clawed Golden Dragon, they couldn’t hide the envy in their eyes.]
[Jia Jinbo stroked his beard, secretly hiding his severely injured right hand, pretending grandeur and laughing heartily, "Obtaining such a prize on this journey is not by accident; rather, it is the fate brought about by my virtuous deeds! Not all know that doing good for one day accumulates wholesome merits. I have been doing good for twenty years, accumulating abundant merits! My merits complete, I shall ascend to heaven!" ]
[You struggled fiercely, and Jia Jinbo also shook violently, holding a small boat alone, crossing the ocean, returning to land.]
[Damn these braggarts giving themselves unearned praise! You furiously wanted to escape, but unfortunately, you were no match; the cage was mystically constructed, preventing you from changing your form, making you a prisoner at his feet, only able to daily breath out dragon’s breath, bombarding the iron cage, longing to return to the sea.]
["Miserable beast, do not be rampant! Following me to the Heavenly Palace is your destiny!" Jia Jinbo scolded angrily, taking you to the south, towards the Heavenly Palace Gate. And you, for your freedom, defeated laziness and resisted vehemently.]
[To prevent your escape, Jia Jinbo had to use all his cultivation to control you, and he could only walk on foot like a mortal.]
[Throughout this journey, living off the land, your contest with Jia Jinbo never ceased for a moment.]
[One day, passing through a powerful empire in the center of the continent, it coincidentally happened that the current Emperor had issued a decree, seeking people with unusual abilities to cure the hidden illness of the Empress.]
[Jia Jinbo saw this, and looking fierce and terrible, said to you: "Damn beast, still causing trouble, this time heaven will assist me! Watch me suppress you with the national fortune of this country!"]
[With that, he put you into his sleeve, took up the decree, and went to see the Emperor of this country.]
["Damn it!" In your heart, you cursed silently, knowing this person wasn’t talking nonsense, but truly had the ability; if he succeeded, you would be helpless, but sadly, you were still no match for him and had no schemes to employ.]
[Once inside the palace, Jia Jinbo disclosed his identity, and the Emperor dismissed his attendants for a private audience. As it turned out, his Empress had an innate hidden illness, rendering her unable to bear children.]
[After diagnosing, Jia Jinbo spoke assuredly, "Her Majesty the Empress is innately sterile, doomed to have no descendants!"]
[The Emperor became anxious, "Is there a remedy from the divine doctor?"]
["This is not a hidden illness, but her destiny, incurable by any medicine. However, I possess a secret technique that can defy heaven and change fate! Named the Six Harmonies Communication Technique, it must be carried out in an absolutely concealed environment over a full six days."]
[The Emperor, overjoyed, immediately acted according to Jia Jinbo’s instructions, while in your heart you cursed this fool.]
[Suddenly, something clicked in your mind, feeling this situation somewhat familiar...]
What familiar?
This is me!
Xu Shu’s eyes lit up all at once, nearly bursting into laughter.
It turned out that the place Jia Jinbo had brought him to was none other than Daqian, the Emperor here was none other than Emperor Shunye.
And this Empress, destined to have no descendants, was none other than "Human Immortal Zhu Wu’s" real mother, Lady Lv!
"Ha ha ha, searching everywhere to no avail, yet effortlessly obtained! Old thief, your cleverness has outsmarted yourself!"
"By bringing me here, on the contrary, you have given me a chance. Once I bind Zhu Wu, I can rest easy!"
[You laughed heartily inside, but outwardly displayed a powerless and furious expression.]
[The closed area for the Six Harmonies Secret Technique was properly arranged, Jia Jinbo brought six robust children, using their pure yang energy to break the barriers preventing Lady Lv from conceiving, forcibly creating a broad path.]
[It was a prolonged battle lasting six days, Lady Lv suffering through fire and water every day.]
[This matter was secretive, Emperor Shunye personally led people to guard the place, not leaving day or night. The pain on Lady Lv’s lips, the ache in his heart—it truly made people shiver from the chills, but for a brighter future, he endured.]
[During this period, Jia Jinbo diligently treated the illness by day, but at night left a paper effigy in his place here, pretending to be him, while his real body sneaked into the imperial forbidden area of the palace, using the Imperial Jade Seal of Daqian to steal national fortune daily.]
[After six days, the curse of Lady Lv’s innate infertility was finally lifted, and she successfully became pregnant.]
