Using Your Butt to Stop a Meteorite, You're Truly an Oddity
A few kilometers away from the small town of Qingxuan, atop a tall mountain.
Just yesterday, a small hut had suddenly appeared on the peak of this mountain.
At this moment, in front of the hut, a red-haired elder sat cross-legged, as if inhaling the moonlight while meditating and cultivating.
Long Aotian had also just decided to reside here yesterday.
The reason he chose to live here was so that if anything came up in the future, he could more conveniently seek out his senior.
After all, Tianzun Pavilion and Qingxuan Town were quite far apart.
At the same time, he felt that since his senior was so powerful, just observing from afar might allow him to gain some insights and improve himself.
And when the celestial meteorite fell, the meditating and closed-eyed Long Aotian suddenly opened his eyes.
He gazed up at the sky extremely quickly.
After seeing what was falling, he was extremely surprised.
It was actually a Hongze Meteorite of Destiny!
From the looks of it, it was heading towards the small town where his senior resided!
"Senior is concealed in this small world, but this world still seems to have sensed senior's destiny aura, which is why it sent down such a thing."
Long Aotian guessed.
The meteorite fell rapidly, but he did not bother with it, believing his senior would handle it.
At the same time, he also wanted to see how his senior would deal with it.
If he could witness his senior in action, perhaps he could gain some insights!
But as the meteorite fell, he began to gasp in shock.
This meteorite was incredibly massive!
He had never seen anything like it before!
In the courtyard of a residence in Qingxuan Town...
"Here we go again, has the master accidentally leaked his destiny aura?"
"Once a month, how annoying. And this time it seems even bigger than before. Little Goldfish, it's up to you."
"Who knows who will benefit from this stroke of luck. Although the master only leaked a tiny bit, for the mortals of this world, it's a great destiny. Perhaps someone from that family will eventually become an immortal."
"....."
In the corner, a spiritual artifact silently listened to the elders' conversation, not daring to utter a word.
The goldfish in the small pond laughed, "Alright, everyone watch closely. I'll take this opportunity to put on a show!"
With that, a goldfish the size of a palm leaped out of the pond.
It then transformed into a streak of golden light, soaring into the sky.
Upon exiting the courtyard, it revealed its true form.
A ferocious golden dragon spiraled upwards at an extreme speed.
Its glittering golden scales reflected the moonlight, bathing the night in a radiant glow.
The massive meteorite also moved very quickly, piercing through the thin clouds in the blink of an eye, approaching the golden dragon.
The dragon twirled and danced in the air. As the meteorite neared, it flashed to the side of the meteorite in an instant.
Then, it turned its rear end towards the meteorite and unleashed a tremendous gust of wind.
The force of the wind dispelled all the meteorite's momentum, even bouncing it back up into the sky, sending it flying off into the distance.
Having dealt with everything, the golden dragon descended.
It landed in the courtyard, transformed back into a goldfish, and splashed into the water.
"Haha, how was that performance, everyone?" came a very self-satisfied voice from the pond.
It sounded as if the goldfish had just accomplished something incredibly amusing.
But after the voice fell silent, the entire courtyard remained deathly quiet.
The peach tree: "..."
The kitchen knife: "..."
The rooster: "..."
The spiritual artifact: "..."
They were speechless.
They had clearly witnessed what had just occurred.
This foolish creature was actually boasting about its "performance" of using its butt to intercept the meteorite?!
And then taking advantage of the force of its fart to bounce the meteorite away?!
Dude, didn't your butt get burned?!
"Why the silence? Were you all stunned speechless?" The goldfish noticed the strange atmosphere and spoke again.
Peach tree: "Badass!"
Kitchen knife: "Badass plus one!"
Rooster: "Badass plus two!"
Only the spiritual artifact did not follow suit, instead saying, "Great elder, you're so powerful. If something like this happens again in the future, please feel free to continue!"
Upon hearing this, all the other artifacts in the courtyard turned to stare at the spiritual artifact.
They had only one thought in their minds:
You're just sucking up, aren't you?!
As for the goldfish, hearing all these praises, it laughed heartily, "I'm just average, don't compliment me too much or I'll get arrogant."
After these words, the courtyard fell silent again.
The atmosphere was quite peculiar.
...
On the distant mountaintop, Long Aotian stared blankly at this scene.
When that golden dragon had appeared earlier, it had given him quite a fright.
"There really are terrifying beings hidden in my senior's courtyard. I never imagined there would even be a dragon!"
Long Aotian gulped loudly.
The previous scene had been truly amazing.
That dragon had treated the meteorite like a tiny pebble, casually deflecting it with its tail and dispelling all its momentum, even bouncing it away in the end.
It was unbelievably powerful.
At this moment, he also looked in a certain direction.
That direction was where the meteorite had flown off to.
"I wonder who will stumble upon this destiny meteorite that my senior didn't want? With a meteorite this huge, some people are bound to experience a meteoric rise!"
Long Aotian muttered to himself.
In the Qianyu Imperial Kingdom...
Originally, it had been very quiet in the imperial palace.
But at this moment...
Boom!
An ear-shattering explosion rang out.
The ground even violently shook.
Within the palace, everyone was startled awake.
Even in the imperial city, nine out of ten people were woken by the noise.
The experts in the palace thought they were under enemy attack and were immediately on high alert.
But when they rushed to the palace courtyard, they froze in astonishment at the sight before them.
Only then did expressions of ecstatic joy appear on their faces.
It was actually a meteorite of destiny the size of a house!
That night, no one in the entire imperial city slept again.
Within just an hour, news of this spread throughout every street and alley of the kingdom.
The next day, the surrounding kingdoms also learned of this.
The news spread like a plague.
Everyone knew that the Qianyu Imperial Kingdom was destined to rise rapidly now.
An unstoppable meteoric rise!
Soon after, another shocking piece of news emerged.
Princess Qianyu had awakened an extremely powerful physical constitution.
She had instantly become one of the peerless prodigies of the continent!
Not long after that, another earth-shattering news came out.
The Qianyu Imperial Kingdom's Retired Emperor, who was thought to have died, had actually just been in secluded cultivation for decades and had now emerged.
He had even broken through to the Great Vehicles Realm!
When this news spread within a thousand-mile radius, it caused a tremendous commotion.
A few days later, the Qianyu Imperial Kingdom suddenly changed its name to the Qianyu Empire!
The difference between an imperial kingdom and an empire was akin to the gulf between a kingdom and an imperial kingdom.
This change proclaimed that the Qianyu Imperial Kingdom had become one of the major powers of the continent...
And even though the Qianyu Imperial Kingdom was developing so rapidly, no one dared to try and suppress it.
Because they all knew that even if they tried to obstruct it, they would be powerless to stop this meteoric rise, only ending up with egg on their faces.
And they might even face severe retaliation in the future.
Instead of trying to oppress them, voices of admiration began to ring out across the entire Southern Territory.
Many powers broke protocol to pay visits and extend congratulations...
In Qingxuan Town, Chen Ping'an spent every day with Su Ling.
Whenever he had time, he would teach Su Ling various knowledge.
Of course, what he taught the most were recipes from Earth, showing Su Ling how to make various dishes.
And Su Ling was extremely talented, instantly picking up anything she learned. She could even elevate the simplest dishes into cuisine fit for immortals!
Her gift was truly astounding.
From living together these past days, Su Ling had become even more attached to Chen Ping'an.
At the same time, she had developed the habit of feeling unsettled if she didn't eat watermelon...
It had already been a month and a half since Chen Ping'an last saw Murong Gong.
He constantly wondered whether they had succeeded in establishing their new sect yet.
After all, Murong Gong had initially said it should only take about a month.
But now it had been a month and a half already.
Just as Chen Ping'an finished thinking this, a voice came from outside the door.
"Senior, are you in?"
It was Murong Gong's voice.
Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up, speaking of the devil!
He must be coming with the good news that everything was set and ready for the opening ceremony.
Chen Ping'an smiled and went out.
However...
When he returned, his expression was somewhat dejected.
Murong Gong had not brought good news, but rather bad news instead!
