184: New Phone

This attack finally came to an end. After returning to Chang'an, Tang Ku still had many things to do, including how to deal with the aftermath and appease the civil and military officials, and so on. Of course, there were also many matters to explain to Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, after all, what the Great Tang would face in the future was not just diplomatic disputes between nations, but potentially the triple threat of divine beings from the Upper Realm, invaders from other Universes, and even the Buddhist Sect.

It was a long and arduous journey!

Chang'an City finally quieted down a lot. Although the common people had heard about what happened, they weren't clear about the specific details. Of course, the foreign envoys were restrained by the Great Tang's people and wouldn't speak carelessly, so it could be considered that everyone lived in peace and contentment.

After about three more days, the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan suddenly bid farewell to Tang Ku.

“The world does not belong solely to the Human Race. Whether it's the Yao Race or ghosts, they are also a part of this world. If there is no one to restrain them, I'm afraid chaos will erupt. Therefore, my wife and I plan to travel the world, subdue demons and devils, and consider it accumulating merit for our child. Moreover, as we said before, we will find a way to get some strong Yao Race members to help!” Rakshasi said to Tang Ku.

“And there's one more thing…” the Bull Demon King said in a deep voice, “I have been stuck at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm for a long time. If the enemies we encounter in the future are as powerful as today's, I'm afraid I won't be of much help. So I want… I want to take this opportunity to travel and see if there's a way to Breakthrough further.”

Tang Ku knew that it was Zeus and his own performance that had stimulated him, but this was also a good thing. He immediately agreed to their request. However, before they left, Tang Ku took out a jade tablet from his in my arms.

On this jade tablet, nine numbers were carved in large characters: “One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine.” The jade tablet was semi-transparent, and on the back were carved some runes that neither the old Niu Mowang nor Tang Ku could understand. A faint Magical Power fluctuation emanated from it.

He handed this item to Niu Mowang and said, “Niu Mowang, this is a communicator designed by that old Daoist Yuan Tiangang. The numbers one to nine on it represent nine different numbers. Your jade tablet is number Four, so the character 'Four' is red. In my hand is number Three. If you need to communicate anything, just press Three, and you can talk to me. Moreover, unless it's in an Immortal Cave protected by a Formation or something, you can communicate regardless of distance!”

The old Niu Mowang took it in his hand and suddenly said, “This is a Magical Artifact researched by Mortals? It actually has such a miraculous function?”

“Hmm, currently there are only nine jade tablets, from One to Nine. Numbers One and Two are in the hands of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng respectively. I have Number Three, and you have Number Four…” Tang Ku said, “The function is singular, only for communication. Later, when he researches something for video transmission, it will be even more powerful…”

Princess Iron Fan took the item from the Bull Demon King's hand and couldn't help but say in shock, “This… this thing can… can communicate over long distances without Magical Power transmission? What… what is the principle behind this?”

“Haha, as expected of Princess Iron Fan, you saw the essence of this thing at a glance… That's right, this thing can be driven without any Magical Power. In other words, even ordinary people can use this thing for long-distance communication!” Tang Ku laughed, “It can be said that this is a product of a new era… However, actual application still faces many problems. What we have in our hands now are all trial versions, but as time goes on, new communication equipment that even ordinary people can afford will definitely be developed… Hmm, I've given this thing a name: 'Mobile Phone'!”

“Mobile Chicken?” The Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan looked bewildered, “Does this thing lay eggs?”

Tang Ku rolled his eyes and said, “Alright, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you… Since you're leaving, I won't force you to stay. If you have anything, you can use this thing to communicate at any time in the future, it's very convenient…”

Nezha, who was gnawing on an apple nearby, suddenly jumped over and said, “This thing is new! I want one too, I want one too.”

“You don't need one!” Tang Ku pouted and said, “Aren't you going to research how to use the flying shuttle? The flying shuttle can connect directly to these mobile phones. I've already asked Zun Zun about this, and anyway, you won't be going far, so don't ask for one!”

“That won't do!” Nezha took a bite of his apple and said, “Holy Monk, you can't be biased, we must treat everyone equally…”

With that, he brought out a whole slew of grand principles, leaving Tang Ku speechless. He even thought that Nezha's eloquence was stronger than his own.

“Alright, alright…” Unable to resist the persistent coaxing, Tang Ku reluctantly gave Nezha one, numbered Five. However, he quickly noticed something amiss and suddenly looked back at his hand, saying in a deep voice, “What are you eating?”

“What? A pingpo fruit? Don't you recognize this?” Nezha couldn't help but ask curiously, “You haven't eaten this before, have you!”

Tang Ku frowned slightly, thinking to himself, “Apples were indeed called pingpo fruit in the Tang Dynasty, but… the apple varieties of the Tang Dynasty would definitely not be that big. Moreover, this color is clearly that of a Red Fuji… This thing should almost be impossible to appear in this world!”

“We also know about pingpo fruit, but we've never seen one this big!” Princess Iron Fan, who loved fruit, said with great curiosity, “Where did you get this from?”

“This… given by the imperial palace. It's said to be a tribute from some… some Wa Nation. It's much sweeter than our pingpo fruit here!” Nezha grunted and took another bite, “If you want to eat, there's a whole basket in the imperial kitchen!”

“Even if it's the Wa Nation, they couldn't possibly have such advanced cultivation techniques now…” Tang Ku suddenly narrowed his eyes, “This requires grafting, selection… After many years of exploration, they could cultivate such a large apple… pingpo fruit… That Wa Nation is a small country, and many of its people are still ignorant and uncultured, not even having a cultural Legacy. It's impossible for them to possess this kind of technology. There's something wrong here!”

The other three looked at each other, and Nezha couldn't help but ask, “What's wrong?”

“Hehe, it's hard to say for now… Hmm, I'll go see Your Majesty and see if we can keep this Wa Nation envoy for now. There must be some secret on this guy… Alright, since Niu Mowang has his own ideas, then we'll part ways for now. I hope that when we meet next time, you will have reached the strength of a Half-step Immortal Saint, or even higher!”

“Hehe, I'll take your auspicious words…” The Bull Demon King cupped his fists and was about to express his thanks when suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the direction of the main door.

At the same time, an urgent voice, panting, shouted, “…Holy Monk… is the Holy Monk here? Your… Your Majesty wants you to enter the palace, saying… saying there's an important matter to discuss!”
