Of course… the box was filled with nothing but a jumble of mathematical code on A4. papers. After all, they were all practitioners. There were no super soldiers.
As for the 10 billion in cash… that was real. Elder Jingde worried that the other party would have spies and if they found out it was fake, they might act out of desperation, putting Xiao'er in danger.
Right after Elder Jingde said those words on the phone…
It only took a few minutes.
Boom- Boom..
A roaring sound came.
In the sky not far away, several weapon-loaded helicopters were flying towards Elder Jingde's cruise ship.
Soon after.
The helicopters arrived above the cruise ship, dropping down an emergency climbing ladder.
A man dressed in camouflage clothing, his face smeared with camouflage paint and holding a rifle, came aboard the ship via the emergency ladder.
Seeing this scene.
Elder Jingde's eyes narrowed slightly.
He was now quite sure that these so-called 'pirates' and 'bandits' were actually a shameless world power.
"Hey, hand over the documents first, old man-"
The man spoke in broken Great Yan Language, his gaze never leaving the box in Elder Jingde's hand.
He didn't know what was in the box, but he knew it was his target.
"Where's my granddaughter?" Elder Jingde asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing that,
The camouflage man held up a finger and shook it, saying, "NO, NO-NO, hand it over first… Your granddaughter is safe, or else… dead!"
"One hand exchanges people, one hand exchanges goods. Otherwise… we part ways!"
Elder Jingde spoke firmly and even opened the box, pretending to throw the things inside into the sea.
Seeing this,
The camouflage man immediately panicked and quickly soothed him, "Don't, I will pass on your message to the boss, please wait a moment…"
Afterwards,
The man took out a satellite phone, chirping a bunch of gibberish in another language. Moments later, after a brief silence on the other end of the phone, an order was given.
"Hey… old man, the boss has agreed to your request, and the person will be brought here immediately." The man shrugged his shoulders, spreading his hands with an expression that said 'you win'.
After waiting for about two hours,
A black dot appeared on the horizon, growing larger as it approached. It was a search warship.
What a joke… these so-called bandits have such a deep draught of heavy warships. Isn't this a naval vessel stationed at a military base?
After the warship approached the yacht, several burly men took out various tools and built a floating bridge between the cruise ship and the warship.
Finally,
On the deck exit,
Two burly men carried a stretcher from below to the deck.
On the stretcher was a girl in a Taoist robe, her face pale. Apart from her face, which was still intact, her whole body was wrapped in gauze.
"Xiao'er!"
Seeing this scene,
Elder Jingde cried out in rage, his eyes filled with a strong desire to kill.
These bastards, they treated Xiao'er like this. Judging from those hanging limbs, her limbs were obviously broken by the bandits.
"Hche- Old man, don't be angry, this beauty killed several of my colleagues."
The camouflage man chuckled and pointed at Ru Xiao on the stretcher.
He wasn't lying,
When they first received the task to capture this girl, they thought it would be an easy job, but they didn't expect the girl to have supernatural powers and have physical abilities beyond normal people.
She could even evade bullets with her physical body and fly in the air, which was outrageous.
If they hadn't finally used a large dose of hallucinogenic fog, they probably wouldn't have been able to capture her.
"Send Xiao'er over. Money and documents… will be given to you."
Elder Jingde suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke slowly, with emphasis on each word.
"OK-"
The camouflage man nodded and waved at the two men who were carrying the stretcher, indicating that they could bring the person over.
Moments later,
The two men carried the stretcher onto the cruise ship and placed it in front of the camouflage man.
As for Ru Xiao on the stretcher… the moment she saw her grandfather, she couldn't hold back her tears, which flowed like a floodgate opened.
"Hehe…" She seemed to want to say something, but the pain in her body and the lingering drugs prevented her from speaking.
"Xiao'er."
Elder Jingde called her name painfully.
The next moment,
In an instant, he disappeared from the spot, reappearing beside the stretcher.
"Quick!" Elder Jingde formed hand signs, emitting a ray of light towards his granddaughter.
In an instant,
The wounds healed at a visible speed. The broken bones were as if held together by invisible hands, connected once again.
"Grandpa!" Ru Xiao's voice trembled, tears streaming down her face.
"Good girl, it's okay now."
Elder Jingde hugged Ru Xiao, gently stroking her hair.
At this moment,
An unwelcome voice came from the camouflage man nearby.
"Hehe, what a touching scene, but… we'll have to wait for the boss to inspect these things before we can let you leave."
As he finished speaking,
The camouflage man, with the file box and his subordinates, retreated back to the warship, placing the file box on a helicopter on the deck..

A few seconds later.
Boom~boom~boom..
The helicopter propeller started spinning, lifting into the sky, carrying the so-called 'documents' towards a certain base.
At this moment.
An invisible figure, invisible to both the naked eye and machinery, silently followed behind the helicopter. It was the incarnation of the Heavenly Tao rules of Water Blue Star…Cang Qingyu.
This little foggy group made an OK gesture to Elder Jingde before he started to track.
Seeing this scene.
Elder Jingde nodded imperceptibly, and then carried Ru Xiao into the cabin of the cruise ship.
Inside the cabin.
Elder Qianqing, Elder Yang Ying, and Huai Qingyun had already revealed themselves.
The commotion on the deck naturally couldn't escape the notice of these cultivators.
"Elder Yang Ying, you're not good at fighting, so take Xiao'er back," Elder Jingde handed Ru Xiao over.
"Alright!"
Yang Ying nodded and took the young girl Ru Xiao from the other's hand.
Immediately after.
She flipped her palm and took out two invisibility talismans from the Sumeru Ring and applied them to herself and Ru Xiao.
Humm-
After a wave of fluctuations, the figures of the two slowly disappeared in the cabin.
After Yang Ying left.
Only the two old Dao and Huai Qingyun remained in the cabin.
"Daoist friend Qianqing, Qingyun, from now on…I will trouble you to follow this old Dao."
Elder Jingde's eyes were cold, and the overflowing murderous aura made his Daoist robe flutter.
Hearing this.
Elder Qianqing and Huai Qingyun nodded.
Immediately after.
The three of them each used a Breathing Talisman to hide their figures, and then according to the signal left by Cang Qingyu, flew in a certain direction.
The sea breeze howled.
Three inexplicable clouds appeared in the originally clear sky, drifting lonely in a certain direction.
On the clouds were two old Dao and a tree spirit standing, it was Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and Huai Qingyun, who were planning to seek revenge.
In fact.
When Elder Jingde came to rescue Ru Xiao, he had already decided on a strategy.
The first priority was to satisfy the other party's conditions, rescue Ru Xiao, and then let Yang Ying, who was not good at fighting, take her back.
Finally.
It was about seeking revenge.
Daoism emphasizes the natural way, doing what comes naturally. Those who dare to kidnap Elder Jingde's granddaughter have already touched the inverse scale of the dragon. Only by using the other party's life can the hatred in one's heart be dissolved.
About thirty minutes later.
The three of them flew on the cloud for half an hour and finally spotted a small white cloud not far away. It was Cang Qingyu, who had been waiting here for a long time.
"You guys are here, that iron man just flew into this island and disappeared." Cang Qingyu pointed to a small island below.
Everyone looked over.
They saw a small island with a diameter of about ten kilometers, covered with dense vegetation. On the surface, it seemed no different from a normal island. "Qingyu, is there anything wrong with this island? And where are those thieves on the island?" Elder Jingde bowed his hand.
Although they were cultivators, their divine soul powers were not so powerful as to observe a small island with a diameter of several kilometers while in mid-air.
But for Cang Qingyu, it was quite simple.
As a rule of heaven and earth on Water Blue Star, although it is difficult to sense specific creatures, just like people cannot know how many cells are in their bodies.
But by controlling the terrain…it is completely mastered.
It could be said.
There was no terrain on the Water Blue Star that Cang Qingyu did not know about, so Elder Jingde directly asked Cang Qingyu.
"The island below has been hollowed out, and there are many humans inside. The previous person also entered it."
Cang Qingyu said indifferently.
After thinking about it.
He added, "Elder Jingde, I can directly control the seawater to submerge this island."
As soon as these words came out.
Except for Huai Qingyun, who had seen Cang Qingyu's methods, both Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing were shocked.
However… upon thinking about it, according to the Palace Lord's statement, this Cang Qingyu is the embodiment of the Heavenly rules of Water Blue Star. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a weakened version of the heavenly ruler. Controlling the seawater to submerge an island would be considered normal.
"Then…1'11 trouble you, but… can you leave a few living mouths?" Elder Jingde nodded.
Since there was a more convenient way to take revenge, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He would just leave a few survivors to interrogate who was behind the plot against the Taoist sect.
Upon hearing this,
Cang Qingyu nodded, "No problem, I've already marked several humans' auras so that the disaster won't befall them."
The next moment,
His cloud-like body began to shake rapidly, emanating an extremely mysterious aura.
When this aura washed over the two old Daoists and Huai Qingyun, they experienced a terrifying feeling as if the sky was falling and the earth collapsing.
Gurgle- Gurgle…
The seawater began to boil and, defying gravity, surged toward the island.
Rumble-
The power of Heaven and Earth Nature was terrifying, even the gentle water, when gathered together, could form a tsunami that would destroy everything.
Whoosh-
The island's vegetation was washed away by this great wave, and in just a few minutes, the entire island was submerged.
A few more minutes passed.
"How's it going?" Elder Jingde asked.
"Uh… they're not dead."
Cang Qingyu's expression was somewhat awkward.
He could sense that, during the time he had unleashed the huge tidal wave, the humans on the island, except for those who were outside and died, those inside the base were all alive.
"Well then, Elder Jingde, allow me to try again; if these humans can withstand the tsunami, I don't believe they can withstand the power of the earthquake!"
As he spoke,
"Tumble!" Cang Qingyu muttered silently, a voice only he could hear.
As the Heavenly Rule of Water Blue Star, the entire planet was like his physical body. Although he couldn't directly control his physical body to annihilate it, a small-scale tsunami or earthquake was still achievable by moving it around.
Once the word "Tumble" was uttered,
In an instant,
The seawater boiled, and numerous bubbles appeared. The ground visibly began to tremble, the shaking becoming more intense.
Rumble-
Rumble Rumble-
The ground shook violently, at least the equivalent of a seven- or eight-magnitude earthquake if calculated in human terms.
Seeing this,
Elder Jingde nodded slightly, thinking that even if the base was stable, it should have been breached by this catastrophe.
They would wait for a while, then go to the island and capture the survivors that Cang Qingyu had left behind, and find out who was behind the forces scheming against the Daoist sect.
"How about now?" Elder Jingde asked again.
"Uh…"
Cang Qingyu scratched the back of his head, his face flushed with embarrassment. "Your human technology is so powerful, but… let me try again…."
"Hahahaha-"
Before finishing his sentence, Huai Qingyun couldn't help but laugh, holding his stomach.
"Old Master, I suggest we stick to the original plan and just storm in!" Huai Qingyun suggested with a laugh.
"Bastard, Qingyun, you dare to laugh at me, I'll beat you up!" Cang Qingyu was indignant, raising his fist to hit him.
However,
His soft fist struck Huai Qingyun, merely tickling him.
Although Cang Qingyu was an incarnation of the Heavenly Rule, his power was mainly manifested in controlling nature. If it was just physical strength, his cloud-transformed body was no match for Huai Qingyun.
After they had a tussle,
Eventually,
They stuck to the original plan.
Everyone landed on the island directly, and under Cang Qingyu's guidance, they flew toward the direction of the human base.
However,
Little did they know that besides Cang Qingyu, they were about to face a life-and-death crisis on this island.
At this moment, while the Real World was bustling,
In the Game World,
Black Wind Mountain.
A Taoist with closed eyes was sitting cross-legged, using time acceleration to absorb and digest the last Chaos Extreme Yin Pill.
Suddenly!
Xuanqing opened his eyes, a puzzled look in them.
"Huh?"
Chapter 357: Chapter 291: CangQingyu'sAnxiety, the Power of Burning Source?
Translator: 549690339
Just now.
A notification sound rang in his mind.
[Warm Reminder: You have an urgent message. Do you want to check it now?] "Check it!" Xuanqing thought silently.
As the words fell, a message appeared in his mind.
Huh… It s a message from Cang Qingyu. They are going to… a nuclear bomb?" Xuanqing suddenly stood up.
He never expected that his subordinates in the real world would actually be subjected to a nuclear bomb attack.
Without caring about the matters of practice.
With a single thought.
"Leave the game!"
Real world.
Qingping Mountain.
Xuanqing awoke from the game and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a cloud of mist in the shape of Cang Qingyu beside him.
No, the aura on this Cang Qingyu is very weak It should be a clone of Cang Qingyu.
"Sir, I am a wisp of divine thought condensed by Cang Qingyu. Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and the fellow Qingyun, they are going to die…"
As the words fell,
This weakened version of Cang Qingyu, accompanied by a gust of wind, turned into a dazzling light and surged towards his master's mind.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing didn't dodge, but let these light points enter his mind.
Because he knew that this was unique to Cang Qingyu himself as the rule of the world of Water Blue Star. As long as he is within the Water Blue Star's range, he could incarnate with a single thought and convey the content he wants to express to any living being.
Indeed.
At the moment these light points touched Xuanqing,
His mind contained an additional piece of information. The content of the information was the encounter of Elder Jingde and others on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean.
"Achipa helicopter, U-15 generation warship, haha, what a group of bandits from Beautiful Country."
Xuanqing sneered.
Then,
His gaze turned to a certain direction, and his right hand waved gently.
In an instant.
Zz~zz.
Space shattered like a broken mirror, forming a two-meter-long and wide pitch-black hole.
Tearing through space and locating a certain coordinate allowed the two spaces to overlap and collapse for a short time, directly traveling through space.
If described using modem sci-fi terms, it's similar to the so-called wormhole traversal principle relying on the collapse and traversal of two spatial points.
This… was the harvest he had gained from refining thirteen Chaos Extreme Yin Pills in this period…
Looking at the collapsing space in front of him.
Without any hesitation.
Xuanqing took a step forward.
On the other side.
High seas of the Pacific Ocean at an international waters island.
Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and Huai Qingyun had fallen into a crisis.
They never expected that there would be a high-quality nuclear bomb with the same power as the one they encountered in a certain Ointment Country hidden on this island.
The story has to go back to two hours earlier.
Under the leadership of Cang Qingyu, the four people from Taiji Hall directly charged into the base for revenge.
These so-called modem hot weapons were completely negligible in front of the few Turning Qi into God cultivators and couldn't even break their mana barriers.
Killing and torturing all the way, they quickly reached the innermost part of the base.
Finally,
They met the mastermind behind Ru Xiao's abduction.
A middle-aged white man in a white lab coat protective suit with a full beard, a gold-wire glasses on his face immediately conjured up an image with just one glance.
"Oh, allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Mad Doctor." The old man cracked a smile, revealing several porcelain teeth.
"It's incredible to meet you with such extraordinary bodies."
No doubt,
There are only wrong names, but not wrong nicknames. With the enemies at the doorstep, the old man's smiling face was truly worthy of being called the Mad Doctor.
Elder Jingde's face was gloomy as he sternly scolded, "Who is behind you? If you don't tell us, we will hold this grudge against Beautiful Country!" "NO, NO- Unimportant now, really. Listen… doesn't this beep-beep sound delightful? We're going to be well-cooked adults soon."
The old man shook his head and muttered to himself.
As expected.
Beep… beep… beep…
A crisp electronic beep echoed in the research lab, and for some unknown reason, the entire base had already been completely sealed shut.
Under these circumstances,
Everyone looked at each other.
One side,
Cang Qingyu suddenly said, "An energy is about to explode, and by then, this small island will be razed to the ground."
For some reason,
He had an extremely repulsive feeling towards this energy about to erupt in his heart, as if he would lose something important once the explosion happened.
At this moment,
After hearing Cang Qingyu's words,
Elder Jingde and company drew a cold breath.
Combined with the beeping sound, it wasn't difficult to guess that the old man must have activated the base's self-destruct system.
If it was as Cang Qingyu said, an explosion capable of leveling this small island would surely involve the deadliest weapon of humanity… nukes!
"Retreat!"
However,
When they wanted to leave, they found that the entire base had been sealed off.
The massive hydraulic heavy steel gates could not be broken open with their power in such a short time.
It's over.
Under this nuclear explosion that could level an entire island… except for Cang Qingyu, they would be roasted into mature adults along with this Mad Doctor.
Slightly silent.
"Elder Brother Qianqing, Qingyun, I'm sorry." Elder Jingde said bitterly.
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune!"
Chapter 358: Chapter 291: Cang Qingyu's Anxiety, the Power of Burning Source?_2
Translator: 549690339
Elder Qianqing closed his eyes and recited his Daoist name.
"Sigh-" Huai Qingyun at the side, who had lost his usual lively spirit, could only let out a long sigh.
However.
Just when everyone was in despair.
Cang Qingyu spoke again: "Don't worry, I've already informed Sir, you guys will be fine."
Speaking of which.
During this time together, Cang Qingyu had developed some feelings for the people in Taiji Hall, especially Huai Qingyun, who had become playmates during their playful banter.
As such, he didn't want anything to happen to his friends.
Of course.
As for Cang Qingyu himself…not to mention these nuclear bombs, even if all the existing nuclear bombs exploded, he would not perish as long as the Water Blue Star exists.
This moment.
Upon hearing the word "Sir," everyone's hearts suddenly settled down.
However, they did not sit and wait for death, they actively tried to break the base's blockade while waiting for Sir-
Unfortunately, after activating the self-destruct mechanism of the base, the original gate disappeared, replaced by a thick alloy steel wall.
In the sky above an open sea island in the Pacific Ocean.
Hum-
Space suddenly distorted, and a pitch-blackhole, about two meters long and wide, appeared like the gates of hell.
Immediately afterwards.
A leg stepped out of the dark hole, followed by the rest of the body, it was Xuanqing who had traveled from Qingping Mountain.
"Traveling…spatial travel is still the best!
H
Xuanqing murmured softly.
Afterwards.
He looked at the island below his feet and indeed sensed a destructive energy fluctuation on it.
"It's a good chance to study this so-called nuclear fusion, what exactly is its principle!"
Xuanqing's duster waved, turning into countless white threads that enveloped the entire island, forcibly capturing the materials undergoing nuclear reactions inside.
The next moment.
A cluster of nuclear material was captured in front of him.
In the particle layer of the material, fusion was constantly taking place, and this fusion was forced.
"Huh…"
Xuanqing let out a soft exclamation.
In his perception, the particles in this mass of nuclear material were forcibly fused in the process, incredibly squeezing out the fundamentals that constituted matter.
It was precisely because of this that the ordinary material was able to cause such a huge energy explosion.
For example.
When a candle is burning, it does not disappear, but instead turns into light energy, heat energy…smoke and wax, existing in another form.
But nuclear fusion is different.
Directly perform a collision fusion on the basic particle level of the candle, causing particle collapse, releasing the particles that make up the candle fundamentally, and thereby causing a huge energy explosion.
Unlike the simple burning of a candle, which turns to wax, light and heat, and smoke, this explosion is permanent and irreversible.
"Interesting!"
"No wonder nuclear fusion has such a powerful force, it turns out it's burning the source." Xuanqing raised an eyebrow.
Afterwards.
He reached out with his right hand and grabbed a fist-sized ball of seawater from below him.
Immediately after.
Xuanqing observed the nuclear fusion material in front of him and tried to imitate its arrangement by holding the mass of seawater according to its principles.
Hand-made…nuclear bomb!
A moment later.
A slightly smaller nuclear material reactor was indeed created by hand.
"As expected…the technology of the Real World has its value."
Looking at the two nuclear material reactors in front of him, Xuanqing's face showed admiration.
With the fist-sized seawater he had just grabbed, the energy released from burning the source was enough for an electric car to circle the Water Blue Star twice.
With such an efficiency rate, even in the mythical world of Xian, it's incredibly terrifying, and probably no one in the Three Realms could do it.
Or maybe…no one dares to do it?
After all.
Both the so-called nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are essentially burning and consuming the essence of matter.
"If it's in the Game World, using nuclear fusion or nuclear fission, I'm afraid the Heavenly Path of that world would directly impose Heavenly Punishment.
II
Xuanqing thought to himself.
However.
In this Real World, there's also Cang Qingyu, the incarnation of Heaven and Earth rules.
If he used nuclear fission or nuclear fusion, it would be equivalent to consuming Cang Qingyu's life force in another way.
As he thought of this.
"Disperse!"
Xuanqing uttered a command, dispelling the nuclear material that he had extracted from the island and the nuclear material that he had created himself.
After all, Cang Qingyu is now his apprentice, and as a master, he couldn't just burn his apprentice's life essence for no reason, right?
Having done all this, his figure flashed and disappeared in the air.
Inside the island.
In the base.
The mechanical 'beep' sound continued, and the countdown on the monitor had reached the last few seconds.
Bang-
Boom-
Elder Jingde and the others were still attacking the base's door non-stop, but the door had already been replaced by an ultra-thick alloy wall.
As for the mad scientist who had claimed to be an old friend of them, he had already been killed by Elder Jingde.
3…2….1…
Accompanied by the last digit of the countdown on the monitor.
Jingde and the others stopped their actions.
Silent!
Utterly quiet.
The two old Dao and Huai Qingyun closed their eyes, sighing in their hearts that they couldn't wait for their master to come.
However.
Although the countdown had ended and the beeping sound had stopped, nothing happened. It was as if the nuclear explosion didn't exist at all.
Following that.
There was a spatial fluctuation in the base.
Everyone opened their eyes and discovered that there was an additional figure in the base. It was the palace lord they thought about day and night.
II
Palace Lord…
II
II
Palace Lord…
II
Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing, having tried their best in this life-and-death situation, felt extremely excited when they saw their master again.
II
Sir-" Huai Qingyun rushed over with a stride, bowed in her master's arms, and kept wiping his tears.
It was so close… so close to never seeing her master again.
"It's all right!" Xuanqing patted Huai Qingyun's back lightly and spoke softly.
This moment.
While everyone else was feeling emotional, only Cang Qingyu was standing to the side, scratching his head with a silly smile on his face. However, he was also happy that his little friends were okay.
Suddenly.
As if thinking of something, Cang Qingyu asked:
"Sir, there's something I don't understand. When that nuclear explosion was about to go off, I felt panicky as if I was about to lose something. What's the reason?"
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing smiled slightly, put the child aside, and then spoke with his hands behind his back:
"That was a nuclear fusion reaction which…anyway, its ultimate goal was to burn the essence of this world."
"As the incarnation of the Water Blue Star's Heaven and Earth Rule, after this nuclear fusion, your essence would be consumed. Although the amount was not much, once it was gone… it's truly gone."
"Oh.. So that's what happened." Cang Qingyu suddenly realized.
No wonder.
He felt a sense of panic when the energy in the base was about to explode. It turned out that these damned guys were burning his essence, how hateful.
"Let's return to Qingping Mountain first, I have something to announce."
With that said.
Xuanqing waved the whisk in his hand, directly opening a spatial wormhole in the base that connected to Qingping Mountain.
"What are you waiting for, go in!"
Huh??
Everyone hesitated for a moment but didn't hesitate further, rushing into the black, mysterious hole.
When all the subordinates had entered.
In the end.
Xuanqing took a step forward and entered the wormhole.
Qingping Mountain.
Backyard.
A dark hole about two meters long appeared out of thin air.
Plop-
Thump'
Several figures leaked out from the pitch-black wormhole, falling to the ground and rolling for a few circles.
"Ugh~"
Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing… couldn't help but cover their mouths and retch.
In the end.
Xuanqing's figure stepped out from the pitch-black hole. Then, he spoke to the two retching old Daoists:
"Go and gather all members of the Taiji Hall with Turning Qi into God cultivation.. Tomorrow at the third moment of the morning, gather here!"

Chapter 359: Chapter 292: Thunderous tactics, all die instantly!
Translator: 549690339
In a while.
After Elder Qianqing and Elder Jingde have recovered a little, they immediately took out their phones and started contacting their subordinates.
Even on Yang Ying's side, she received the notice and hurried over to Qingping Temple after settling Ru Xiao.
• •
The next day.
7.30 AM.
The red sun had already emerged from the foot of the mountain.
In the inner courtyard of Qingping Temple, more than fifty Daoists clad in robes and stepping with a gait had gathered.
Nowadays, Taiji Hall has more than fifty cultivators who have reached the initial stage of Qi Refining and God Transforming, most of them are Law Enforcement Team members, and a small number are exceptional talents…members who have been granted Ginseng Fruit.
These cultivators sat neatly in the inner courtyard.
At the forefront were Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Yang Ying., and Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu of the Five People.
In a while.
Creak-
The bedroom door of the inner courtyard opened, and a Daoist with a graceful figure and immortal aura stepped out.
Seeing this, everyone looked at the Daoist with fanatic eyes.
"We… pay our respects to the palace lord!"
Although Xuanqing often said that there was no need to kneel and worship him, it couldn't resist the fanaticism of his followers.
"Please rise."
Xuanqing wielded the whisk in his hand, releasing a wave of clean Qi, lifting everyone up in the void.
Then, he said, "Some time ago, one of our cultivators in Taiji Hall was kidnapped by Beautiful Country. Our elders went to rescue them but almost lost their lives."
"I've often said that as cultivators, we must not wantonly commit murder, but we can't let others bully us."
"Today, I'll give you all a task: destroy all military bases of Beautiful Country on Water Blue Star."
As he spoke, the Qi Flower in Xuanqing's body churned and followed the movement of his hand wielding the duster.
Whoosh-
More than fifty cyan glows shot towards everyone including Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Huai Qingyun, and Yang Ying, instantly entering their physical bodies.
Everyone felt warmth in their bodies, followed by an incredibly powerful force emanating from their Dantian.
Immediately after that, the mana strength of their physical bodies grew at a visible speed.
From the original initial stage of Qi Refining and God Transforming…to the middle stage…late stage…refining gods and returning to the void…early…middle…late, it still didn't stop and continued to rise.
Hum hum
immortal body!
The bodies of the more than fifty Daoists radiated cyan light, and they actually condensed an Immortal Body in an instant and entered the realm of immortals.
Of course, because it was temporarily infused with mana, this immortal body did not belong to any of the categories of heaven, earth, human, divine, or ghost. It was temporary and without rank.
Powerful, incredibly powerful.
Everyone clenched their fists, their faces showing disbelief.
At this moment, they all felt that they could, with this powerful mana in their bodies, easily burn mountains and boil seas, pick stars, and grab the moon.
Only Cang Qingyu, who was standing nearby, had an expression as if he was constipated.
He felt a tightness in his chest, panic, and even an urge to completely destroy these Daoists.
The reason for this, of course, was that Water Blue Star's Grade wasn't capable of accommodating immortal-level beings. Even though a Human Path has been created, Qi Refining and God Transforming was the limit.
This was also why Xuanqing felt the pressure of the world after achieving an immortal body.
Of course, Cang Qingyu couldn't help but endure the discomfort. After all, they arc now under Sir's guidance, and the discomfort was just temporary. Things would get better once the Heaven, Earth, and Human Paths of Water Blue Star were opened and their ranks advanced.
Just as everyone was feeling extremely excited, Xuanqing glanced at Cang Qingyu and signaled that it was his turn.
After receiving the instructions, Cang Qingyu suppressed the discomfort in his heart, took a step forward in front of the Daoists, and waved his arms like clouds and mist.
"These places are the bases of Beautiful Country."
As the words fell, his body burst into a sky full of starlight, drilling into the minds of the Daoists, passing on the positions of Beautiful Country's global bases to them.
As an incarnation of the Heaven and Earth Rules of Water Blue Star, although he couldn't directly kill living beings, providing the location was not an issue.
"Sir, I have passed on the locations to them," said Cang Qingyu.
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
"Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Elder Yang Ying, and Qingyun, you four will each lead a team, making sure to destroy all of Beautiful Country's bases."
"We will comply with the palace lord's wishes!"
Two old Dao, Yang Ying, and Huai Qingyun replied loudly, their faces also showing fanaticism.
Then.
Under the guidance of the four, the Daoists transformed into more than fifty cyan glows, dispersing in all directions.

And so, only Xuanqing and Cang Qingyu were left in the inner courtyard.
Seeing the constipated expression on Cang Qingyu's face, Xuanqing had an idea and immediately took a jade slip from the Game Backpack and handed it over, "Qingyu, I know you're uncomfortable. This is the Taoist Pure Heart Mantra."
"You make do with it for now. In a few days, I will start opening the Earthly
Path, and by then…Water Blue Star should be able to withstand immortals."
"Yes, Sir!"
Cang Qingyu took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead.
There was no other way. As the incarnation of the Heaven and Earth rules of this world, as long as a living being exceeded Water Blue Star's grade, he would feel very uncomfortable.
"Ice cold and eternal, the world is so still, the heart should be calm, only I am divine…."
After reciting the Pure Heart Mantra

Translator: 549690339
Cang Qingyu's chest tightness had slightly eased, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Sir opened the Earthly Path, everything would be resolved.
"Thank you, Sir, for your gift."
"Hmm!"
Xuanqing nodded slightly, then said casually, "1 will also go out for a while."
After his words fell,
He waved the duster in his hand, directly tearing the space in front of him. Then he used the spatial rules to collapse the torn space and overlapped it with certain coordinates.
Swish-
With a step forward,
Xuanqing's figure disappeared in the inner courtyard.
"I respectfully send off Sir!" Cang Qingyu bowed slightly, watching his master leave.
Over here.
Beautiful Country, Button State.
Above a bustling city, at an altitude of approximately 10,000 meters,
a mysterious black hole about two meters long and wide suddenly appeared. Immediately after,
A young Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist Robe, with cloth shoes on his feet and a feather duster in his hand, walked out of the dark hole. It was Xuanqing, who had used space travel to come from Qingping Mountain.
At the same time,
In the distant outer space, several monitoring satellites all detected this strange scene.
"Huh?"
Xuanqing raised his head, and his deep eyes looked up at the sky.
With his cultivation, he could naturally detect the satellites spying on him, surrounding the Water Blue Star's halo.
However,
This time, he came to establish prestige and didn't intend to hide his figure.
Xuanqing first looked coldly at the sky.
Then,
he dispersed his divine thought.
In an instant,
The whole Beautiful Country was enveloped in his God Soul. Within this range, the actions of all living beings were reflected in his eyes.
All kinds of complex information flooded into Xuanqing's mind, causing him to feel agitated.
If it were someone with lower cultivation, the impact of such a huge information flow would likely turn them into a fool in an instant. Shield!
Xuanqing shielded most of the information obtained from his divine soul's scanning, leaving only those with profound Luck.
After all,
Those who can use fleets and fighter planes against the Taoist sect must have some power in the Beautiful Country, and these people's Luck is often much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Without the interference of that messy information,
He had long regarded the Real World as his personal garden, and ordinary humans in the garden were like plants planted in it.
And the people in the Taiji Hall were responsible for managing and taking care of these plants.
Now, the weeds living in the Beautiful Country had grown thorns, hurting the gardeners who take care of the garden.
So… these weeds should be removed.
"Deduce!" Xuanqing closed his eyes.
In an instant,
Regarding the course of this matter, including who was behind the scenes and who participated, everything was clearly exposed like a skinned fruit.
For Xuanqing today, deducing some mere mortals, even those in control of power and with some Human Path Destiny added to them, was still very easy.
During this time,
In a square in Flo State, Beautiful Country,
A high platform was built here, on which stood an old man in a suit, with immaculately groomed hair.
There were countless densely packed people beneath the platform.
"Oh, ladies and gentlemen, the sun is very good today." Dengtu Baizhan uttered a greeting with a smile.
In fact,
It was time for a new term, and whether Plank could be pulled down depended on the speeches during this period and how many votes they could get.
"As you all know, I am a staunch believer in… if you vote for me, then later….'1
Afterward,
A series of various promises were uttered by Dengtu Baizhan, the old man. As long as he got the votes first, whether he could fulfill them afterward was another matter.
Below the platform,
Upon hearing Dengtu's words, the citizens listening to the speech all showed enthusiastic expressions.
Seeing this,
some shills who had earlier infiltrated the crowd took the opportunity to stir up the masses' emotions and started to shout long live.
However,
accidents always come so suddenly.
Dengtu, who was previously giving an endless speech, suddenly trembled, and his body stiffened as he stopped talking and fell backward.
Thud-
Old man Dengtu just died like that!
???
The cheering people below the platform had frozen expressions, their eyes wide and mouths agape, staring at this scene.
The next moment,
Among the first to react were the bodyguards, their faces full of horror as they rushed to Old Man Dengtu's side.
"Doctor, quick, the doctor!"
Quickly.
Several doctors wearing white coats and carrying various instruments arrived at the old man's side.
Not only the doctors.
More journalists holding cameras flocked to the scene like blood-thirsty sharks, frantically capturing this shocking event.
At the same time as this accident occurred at Old Man Dengtu's side.
On the other side.
Plank was also giving a campaign speech, passionately speaking when suddenly.
A subordinate rushed onto the stage, whispering a few words into his ear, causing his face to change dramatically.
Dead.
All dead.
Not only his rival Old Man Dengtu but also several other old opponents, they all died inexplicably at the same time.
At this moment.
The first reaction from Plank was disbelief.
He knew that these people had hard lives and had survived countless assassination attempts, maintaining their health and supported by huge medical teams.
How could they suddenly be dead under such circumstances?
But.
The subordinate was his confidant, and how could he lie about such a thing?
With this in mind.
Plank took a deep breath.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but something urgent has come up, and I must leave."
After saying this.
He gestured to the tall bodyguards beside him and left the scene with their support.
Conference hall.
Plank sat in the main seat.
Below him were his staff team members.
At this moment.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was extremely tense.
Although on the surface the removal of these people was beneficial for him, what mattered was how they had disappeared.
If it were a normal death, or even a murder, he would not be afraid and might even have a banquet, opening champagne to celebrate.
But now?
They just died inexplicably, and anyone would worry and fear that they might be the next one.
"Guys, what should we do next?" Plank asked solemnly.
Among them, he was undoubtedly the most afraid.
Listenting to their boss's words.
Everyone in the staff team fell silent.
Moments later.
A member of the staff team spoke, "Boss, maybe we should first find out how those old guys died."
"Number One is right, but in addition to that, you should also be prepared to face the overwhelming public opinion. I think… those stupid people will definitely think it was you who did it, won't they?" another staff member chimed in.
Listening to the comments of his staff team.
Plank was anxious as well as irritated.
He knew that what his staff members said was right.
The sudden and inexplicable death of those old guys would not only make him incredulous but would also be doubted by the entire Beautiful Country's public.
Under such circumstances, people would definitely think of a conspiracy.
And as the biggest beneficiary, the entire nation's public would suspect that it was his plot.
Difficult!
It's so difficult!
Plank's head was aching.
At this moment.
Suddenly.
Ding-a-ling- Ding-a-ling-
An irritating ringtone interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"Huh-"
Plank took a deep breath, picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Plank, please come to the Satellite Observation Station immediately, something big has happened."
"NO, I'm sorry, I have more important things to deal with right now."
What could be more important than the sudden and inexplicable death of the old guys?
Just as Plank was about to hang up the phone.
Suddenly.
What the person on the other end of the line said made Plank give up that idea.
"Listen, sir, you have to come anyway, I swear this is even more significant than their deaths."
Hearing this.
Plank's pupils suddenly contracted..
Chapter 361: Chapter 293: Developing the Teleportation Array, Initiating the Interstellar Era.
Translator: 549690339
Eventually.
Plank still agreed to the request on the other end of the phone, hastily ending the meeting about dealing with his rival's sudden death.
Moreover.
He brought a group of his staff with him to the satellite base, wanting to see for himself what had happened that was more important than the deaths of those old guys.
At the entrance of Button State's satellite base.
An old man in a white lab coat was looking around; he was the person in charge of the base…
Dr. James!
When he saw Plank and his staff arrive, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to greet them.
"Sir, come and see for yourself, it's incredible." Dr. James exaggeratedly pulled Plank by the sleeve and led him inside.
Plank just nodded slightly.
Entering the observation room.
The room was full of people, with most of them being top-notch scientists from various subjects of Eagle Country.
"Mr. Plank!"
"Mr. Plank!"
When everyone saw Plank come in, they greeted him one after another.
Standing in front of the screen.
Plank looked at the screen with curiosity.
"Huh?"
"Guys, did you want me to watch a movie trailer here?" Plank's expression was exaggerated.
However.
Upon seeing the content on screen, he had a faint feeling of unease.
At least… these people were not likely to make fun of him, and the so-called movie trailer was nothing more than an exaggerated statement.
"Phew-" Plank took a deep breath and said to Dr. James next to him, "Play it again."
"Yes!"
Dr. James responded and operated the screen to reset and replay the footage.
On screen…
There was a man of Eastern origin wearing a dark blue long Taoist robe, with strange-looking cloth shoes on his feet, and holding a… a long-haired rod in his hand?
What Plank couldn't bring himself to believe was that this Eastern man could actually be floating in the air above Button City.
The technology now was extremely advanced, even the height of this Eastern man could be captured by the satellite.
Height: over 13,000 meters!
It was precisely because of this.
That Plank said, 'What movie trailer is this?'
However.
The silence of the crowd.
So many experts gathered here, indicating that this was not a farce, nor a movie trailer, but a real image captured by the satellite.
The footage on the screen was still playing.
The strangely dressed Eastern young man first closed his eyes, then seemed to murmur a few words.
Then, suddenly.
The young man opened his eyes abruptly and waved the duster in his hand.
The next scene almost scared Plank limp.
He saw the young man suddenly look up at the satellite, his gaze piercing through the screen, staring directly at Plank himself.
Even though it was just an image transmitted through a screen.
Plank felt… as if he was facing a god. In front of the person, he seemed like a tiny insignificant ant.
"Wh-What's going on here?"
The voice was trembling, but no one laughed at it. It was not because the speaker was their leader, but because their reactions were even worse just before.
"Mr. Plank, as you can see, this Eastern man, if I'm not mistaken, should be from the sect of the Great Yan Kingdom… the Taoist door."
"He's wearing a Taoist robe, wearing step tread on his feet, and holding… a legendary divine artifact called a Duster in his hand!"
After that.
A sociologist among the group explained to Plank.
Beside him.
Dr. James also spoke:
"Mr. Plank, there's one more thing. The time of Mr. Dengtu's death coincides with the Eastern Taoist waving the duster in the sky… at the same time!"
As soon as this was said.
Plank's body shuddered, and his heart suddenly contracted.
The case was solved.
It turned out that the deaths of those old men coincided with the appearance of the mysterious Eastern Taoist.
While Plank was astonished.
Dr. James operated the screen again, switching to another scene.
This action caught Plank's attention, and he looked at it again.
This time.
The entire Water Blue Star was the background, and in the scene, several huge meteorites were bombarding Water Blue Star.
"Was this the meteorite attack on Great Yan last time?" Plank could not help but ask.
Suddenly.
He recalled that during the last meteorite attack on Water Blue Star's Great Yan Kingdom, the satellite had also captured an ethereal giant hand which directly scooped up the meteorites.
Combining the deaths of the old men this time, it was not difficult to guess that the two incidents might have been the same person… no, this level of capability was no longer within the realm of humanity.
"Sir, after our analysis, the mysterious Eastern… there may indeed be gods, and this Eastern Taoist who appeared in the sky is their god!"
Dr. James said hoarsely.
Upon hearing this.
Plank fell silent.
In his mind.
He couldn't help but think if he had offended this Eastern Taoist.
Or could it be… that one day in the future, he too would end up like those old men, dying without knowing why.
His heart pondered this thought..

Sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
This mysterious Oriental Taoist, floating ten thousand meters above the ground, simply waved the duster in his hand, killing countless enemies.
This behavior has completely defied science, contradicted his understanding, and even… the alleged gods in legends who wanted to destroy humanity did not act this way, the most they did was cause floods or volcanic eruptions.
Frankly speaking.
At this moment he had no intention to resist at all.
"The best way now is to understand why the other party is doing this, and then… try to avoid such things from happening."
Plank's eyes flickered with an inexplicable color.
As for…. taking revenge for his colleagues? He could only scoff at the idea.
Just as the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Ding-ding-
There was a piercing ringtone.
"Yes-"
A sinking feeling in Plank's heart grew when he heard the phone ring. One could guess that something terrible must have happened.
"It's really bad, Mr.Plank. The first, second… all the way to the fifth base lost contact, all of our satellites… they also lost contact…."
"What did you say?"
Plank was slightly stunned, disbelief filled his eyes, he even wondered if he was hallucinating and misheard.
On the other end.
The operator repeated: "Report Sir, the first, second, third… all the way to the fifth base, all lost contact, and all satellites…. No…no."
Repeating it back, the operator seemed to have found some even more shocking news, and stuttered the words 'No..no.'
Just when Plank was about to rejoice, discovering that the operator was mistaken, an even more terrifying piece of news came over the phone.
"Sorry Sir, you may not believe it, but now… all our bases have lost contact and been destroyed, I repeat, all of the military bases of Eagle Country on Water Blue Star have lost contact!"
At this moment.
Even if the phone was not on speaker, because the voice from the other end was really loud, everyone in the observation room heard every word clearly.
Everyone's mouths were wide open, and looks of disbelief spread across their faces.
"Al..All our bases were destroyed?"
Plank's voice trembled.
Everyone else wasn't faring any better, they all felt like they couldn't breathe.
You should know.
What made them the global hegemony?
It was their global bases that they relied on, as well as their military power that suppressed the entire world, leading to their absolute control economically.
Now.
Their greatest reliance was completely destroyed in an instant. It's hard to imagine what serious consequences this could lead to.
But…compared to the consequences that will only happen later.
Now.
There is something even more important…. that is whether the one in the sky will stop, or if something worse will happen.
After a while.
"Let's have a meeting and see how to…appease the wrath of the gods!"
Plank finally blurted out this sentence.
Everyone went silent.
While Eagle was considering how to pacify the wrath of the gods on their side.
On the other side.
In a place known for producing Kimchi.
A fat man in a suit suddenly stood up, his face filled with horror.
"What did you say, our city's Eagle base… destroyed itself?" The Kimchi
Nation's fat leader's voice filled with disbelief.
"Yes, Kamsahamnida!" The guard knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and responded.
"Hiss!"
The leader of Kimchi Nation, a fat man, immediately gasped.
If it wasn't because the guard in front of him was his trusted confidant, he would never believe that something like this had actually happened.
"Go… go, take me to see it quickly, I want to personally go and see the city base!" The voice of the portly leader of Kimchi Nation was urgent.
"Yes!"
The guard stood up and saluted.
Kimchi Country, Capital City Base.
When the fat leader arrived here with his guards, he felt his soul trembling.
Bodies are everywhere!
What they saw was…soldiers bleeding from all seven orifices strewn about in various positions. The walls around them were riddled with bullet holes, testifying to the massive battle that had taken place here.
At this moment.
The lips of the Fat Leader of the Kimchi Nation were twitching, and his pupils had contracted to the extreme.
Immediately after.
An irresistible joy welled up in his heart.
"Really.. Hahaha, it's gone for real, long live… we are free now!" The chubby man was almost bursting into tears, and his laughter echoed throughout the entire base.
The accompanying guards, seeing their leader so happy, began to laugh foolishly as well.
Just like that.
The news of the destruction of all the bases on the Water Blue Star spread across the entire planet in a very short time.
Of course.
This news was only known to the higher-ups of the Water Blue Star, the ordinary people continued their daily activities, including going to work and eating, completely unaware of such shocking events in the world.
After this incident.
The outside world might be in chaos for a while, but for the Taiji Hall, things are back on track. They just need to develop according to the original plan.
Just like that.
Time slowly passed.
Under the leadership of the two old Daoists of Taiji Hall, Yang Ying, and many middle-level personnel of Taiji Hall, such as Daoist Ru Xiao…
Soon.
The discussions on the branches of Daoism in the East Asia region were successfully completed. Once the construction was finished, the incense of Daoism could be spread.
Of course, such a rapid expansion of Taiji Hall naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of other sects, such as the Shimen, Wazhuben Church, Tian Church, and God Church…
However.
The destruction of a certain base just happened not long ago, aren't the high-ranking officials in Southeast Asia trembling at home?
So… In the face of these 'normal' sects, the high-ranking officials in Southeast Asia directly chose violent suppression.
Joke!
On the one hand, there is a true god who can destroy the global hegemon's base overnight. On the other hand…. They are just charlatans deceiving ordinary civilians.
Even a fool knows which one to choose.
Just like that.
Half a year passed in a flash.
Qingping Mountain, Inner Courtyard.
Xuanqing's eyes were closed tightly, and his legs were crossed.
His hands were constantly changing seals, and words seemed to be flowing from his mouth like he was deducing something.
Suddenly.
His eyes opened, revealing a hint of joy.
"It's done!"
Xuanqing got up.
In this half a year.
Apart from collecting incense in the real world regularly, he researched the principles of 'teleportation array'.
Just a few days ago, after collecting incense and exchanging it for Chaos Extreme Yin Pill, his progress in the 'yin' rule cultivation reached 20%.
Shortly after his 'yin' rule reached 20%, his comprehension of 'space' unexpectedly jumped a large notch.
In this way… he finally had the understanding of 'teleportation array', which involves space.
With a thought.
"Check Character Panel!" Xuanqing muttered to himself.
[Name: Xuanqing
[Physique:Chaos Morality Holy Body.
[Grade:Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation: Yin-Yang Realms (Yin 20%, Yang 6.5%)
[Cultivation Method: Unknown
[Divine Ability: Spatial Array Dao (Small Success), Fate Dragon Control
Chapter («), Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts (Perfection),
[Ingot: 8E
In the Cultivation column of the Character Panel.
After half a year of improvement, the cultivation of Yin-Yang Realms had been greatly improved.
Among them, the cultivation progress of the Yang rule had no change, still 6.5%.
But.
The cultivation progress of Yin rule has surged from zero to 20% in just half a year's time.
"20% in half a year, 40% in one year."
"So, at most two and a half years, the Yin rule of Yin-Yang Realms can be perfectly cultivated."
A faint smile crossed the corner of Xuanqing's mouth, he was very satisfied with his cultivation progress.
More importantly.
During this period, besides improving his cultivation, he successfully developed the 'teleportation array'.
This means that in the near future, the Great Yan Kingdom will step into the space age ahead of schedule and start space immigration..

Chapter 363: Chapter 294: Everyone Refining the "Divine Sky Visualization Technique"
Translator: 549690339
Once the 'Interstellar migration' is opened, the unencumbered population of the Great Yan Kingdom will grow explosively.
"Let's try building a teleportation array between Water Blue Star and the Moon first!"
Just like a child with a new toy.
After successfully developing the teleportation array, Xuanqing couldn't wait to experiment with it.
Shuttling through space by tearing it apart and crafting teleportation arrays are similar in principle, but the former is far more complex.
After all.
The former only requires a certain level of cultivation realm, while the latter requires the power of the 'Yin Rule' to be condensed on the 'Tool'.
"The most important thing in crafting a teleportation array is the genius treasure containing the power of the Yin Rule."
Xuanqing muttered softly.
In his palm, he took out a glowing stone from the Game Backpack.
[Kongming Stone: Contains mysterious spatial power and is one of the main materials for crafting Sumeru Rings.
"This Kongming Stone is more than enough for crafting a Sumeru Ring, but I'm afraid it's not high enough in grade to craft a teleportation array."
Looking at the floating Kongming Stone in front of him, Xuanqing thought to himself.
However.
This isn't a problem that's difficult to solve, he just needs to use the 'Fusion Upgrade function to upgrade the two Kongming Stones.
As soon as he thought of it, he put the Kongming Stone back into his backpack because the fusion upgrade needs to be done in the Game Backpack.
Then.
Xuanqing immersed himself in the Game Backpack and silently recited the words to the two Kongming Stones:
"Fusion Upgrade!"
[Ding… -1 million ingots, Fusion Upgrading…]
Finally.
This time, the fusion upgrade no longer consumed expensive 'Origin Points', but deducted one million ingots.
Perhaps.
For the past him, one million ingots were still a huge number.
But for Xuanqing's current income, a mere one million ingots can be dropped on the ground carelessly without even bother to bend down to pick up.
You have to know.
After half a year's time.
Xuanqing's daily incense revenue has grown from the original one hundred and forty million to around two hundred million a day.
The fusion upgrade of the Kongming Stone not only consumes less but also progresses quickly.
Moments later.
He heard the prompt sound from the quantifier in his mind.
[Fusion successful, congratulations to the player for obtaining a Top-grade Kongming Stone *1]
"Uh… Top-grade Kongming Stone?"
Xuanqing was speechless.
After the fusion upgrade, the name merely added a 'Top-grade' prefix, which was a bit too sloppy.
But on second thought, since the fusion upgrade cost only one million ingots, having the Top-grade prefix was normal.
"However… compared to normal Kongming Stone, the spatial rule power in this 'Top-grade Kongming Stone' has increased several times, which is worth the cost."
Xuanqing shook his head.
Then.
He took the Top-grade Kongming Stone out of the Game Backpack and held it in his hand.
"Upload to the Mall!"
[Product uploading… 5%…. 12%… 60%…. 100%!]
[Ding- Congratulations, upload successful, Store increment: Top-grade
Kongming Stone (1.2 million)]
Since it's not a valuable item, the upload speed was extremely fast, and it was successful in just a moment.
"Teleportation arrays require two array bases; one in the inner courtyard of Qingping Temple and another one on the Moon."
Thinking like this in his mind, Xuanqing whispered, "Buy one Top-grade Kongming Stone!"
[-1.2 million Ingots]
As the ingots were deducted, his Game Backpack had an additional Top-grade Kongming Stone. Including the Top-grade Kongming Stone in his hand, he had a total of two Top-grade Kongming Stones, just enough to be used as the main array base material for the teleportation array.
Of course.
To craft a teleportation array, just a Top-grade Kongming Stone isn't enough, some auxiliary materials are needed as well.
Fortunately., after hosting so many banquets, his Game Store had all kinds of resources ranging from various healing pills, spirit grasses to magic tools and genius treasures, there was nothing he lacked.
A moment later.
All the preparations for crafting the teleportation array were complete.
"Start crafting the array!"
Xuanqing calmed his mind, gazing at the pile of materials in front of him, a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
As he waved the whisk in his hand,
The next moment.
Swipe-
With the Top-grade Kongming Stone as the center point, various materials constantly rotated, gradually merging during the process.
At Xuanqing's level of cultivation, crafting a simple teleportation array was naturally very simple.
His delay in developing the teleportation array was due to the fact that in the
Journey to the West World, only the Heavenly Court had teleportation arrays in place, while other places didn't have any.
In the absence of reference material,
Xuanqing had to rely on his imagination and understanding of the 'Yin Rule' to research and develop teleportation arrays from scratch.
It can be said that his actions in the Journey to the West World were equivalent to being the pioneer of teleportation arrays there.
Of course… that's beside the point.
At this moment.
Xuanqing's refining process was nearing its end.
Hum-
Following a ripple, a teleportation array about two meters long and wide appeared on the ground.
The entire array glowed with a dark blue light, with countless mysterious runes flowing within. Each rune emitted the power of the Yin attribute rule.
It was precisely because of the power of these runes that the teleportation array had the ability to traverse through space.
Worth mentioning is,
In the center of the array, there was a fist-sized groove that was used to place the energy source..

364 Chapter 294: Everyone Refining the "Divine Sky Visualization Technique"_2
Translator: 549690339
Whether it's the Spirit Crystal imbued with Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, or the Immortal Crystal filled with the essence of immortal spirits…. even the Gathering Qi Bead containing the faith incense fire can be placed on top and act as the energy drive for formation techniques.
The teleportation array.Js now complete.
However…although the teleportation array is completed, to use it, you still need to input coordinates into it.
"The Moon!"
Xuanqing's god soul envelops the Teleportation Array imprinting the space coordinates of the Moon into the formation technique.
Like this.
The one-way teleportation array from Water Blue Star to the Moon is now refined. All that is needed is to step into the array, and you can reach the Moon in an instant.
"The teleportation array on the Water Blue Star is ready, if you want to realize bidirectional teleportation, you have to go to the Moon and refine a teleportation array for the return journey."
Looking at the teleportation array on the ground, which is exuding a faint blue light.
Xuanqing mutters silently.
As his voice falls.
He took a step forward, into the range of the teleportation array, and his figure disappeared from sight.
The Moon.
Everywhere in sight is gray, and the ground is filled with holes of various sizes.
However.
On this planet, there's a unique region, blooming like an idyllic paradise, with ten majestic trees reaching to the sky, their lush foliage green and inviting.
Humming-
In the middle of this area, space fluctuates like a smooth lake surface disturbed by a thrown pebble, causing ripples.
A young Taoist priest, dressed in a robe, walking with an elegant gait, emerges from the center of the fluctuation. It's Xuanqing, who has used the teleportation formation to travel from the Water Blue Star.
"The spiritual energy is denser, this area could be used as a secret realm for cultivation!"
Closing his eyes, Xuanqing takes a deep breath.
The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy converted from the Ginseng Fruit Tree rushes into his nostrils like water overflowing a lake, making him feel refreshing and invigorating.
Although..
For Xuanqing as he is now, the thickness of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy doesn't contribute much to his cultivation, nevertheless, when in places where the spiritual energy is abundant, both body and the mind feel particularly relaxed.
"Let's begin the formation!"
Xuanqing opens his eyes.
Following that.
Just like at the Water Blue Star, he takes out Top-grade Kongming Stones, along with various other materials, and gets to work.
A short while later.
A teleportation array leading to Water Blue Star has been completed.
It's worth mentioning.
The teleportation array on the Moon can be powered using not only Gathering Qi Beads and Immortal Crystals.
Apart from that, the formation technique links a Ginseng Fruit Tree so that whenever the drive energy falls below a certain threshold, the Ginseng Fruit Tree will automatically infuse Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
"Now…everything's done!"
Looking at the teleportation array next to him.
A smile appears on Xuanqing's face as he nods with satisfaction.
With these two teleportation arrays, it will be much more convenient to travel between the Water Blue Star and the Moon, and vice versa.
Before leaving.
Xuanqing once again goes over to the Ginseng Fruit Trees, placing his palm on each one, and applies the time acceleration feature to each one individually.
These Ginseng Fruit Trees and Flat Peach Divine Trees planted on the moon have matured long ago. Now, with acceleration, it is time to harvest a batch of Ginseng Fruits.
After some time acceleration.
The density of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy on the Moon has greatly increased. If compared to the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy at the Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang View in the Journey to the West World, it's at least ten times more.
If the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy were this dense.
If there were living beings on Moon, I'm afraid it would be teeming with spirit beasts and natural treasures.
After doing all these.
Xuanqing approaches the teleportation array.
Takes a step forward-
Swish-
The Teleportation Array explodes with brilliance, tearing the space apart instantaneously, and then sending its target to the predetermined spatial coordinates.
Over here.
Xuanqing is already back on the Blue Star.
Looking at the teleportation array beneath his feet, he is quite satisfied within his heart. It is now much more convenient to travel between Blue Star and Moon in the future.
Of course.
Even without the teleportation array, with his current understanding of 'Yin Space' rules, he could tear apart space and travel through it.
Just then.
Suddenly.
A surge of information rushed into his mind…
[I bid greetings to my master, I have an urgent matter to report!]
"Huh… Is that Elder Qianqing?"
Xuanqing let out a light exclamation.
It is worth mentioning that.
After he opened the Taichu Dojo, he gained an exclusive token for his own Dao Court.
Taking into consideration that in the real world, besides Huai Qingyun, his subordinate God, the rest of the people could only be contacted by him, the palace lord, unilaterally, while the others could only communicate with him through their phones.
Hence!
He issued one to the five members of Taiji Hall in the real world, giving them the same authority as Huai Qingyun. They could directly send messages to him through the token.
"You must quickly come to Qingping Temple!" Xuanqing sent a message back to Elder Qianqing.
A moment later.
An old dao entered the inner court of Qingping Temple.
"Subordinate pays his respects to the palace lord!" Elder Qianqing bent his body slightly and paid his respects.
"Hmm."
Xuanqing gently nodded, signaled him to get up, and then asked, "Elder Qianqing, what do you have to report?"
"Replying to the temple master, it's about the government of Great Yan Kingdom. They contacted me, saying they want to collaborate with the Taoist Academy to jointly develop The Law of Divine Cosmic Contemplation."
Elder Qianqing folded his hands and continued:
"From primary school onwards, discontinue the original English curricula and replace it with The Law of Divine Cosmic Contemplation, thus laying a foundation."
"And include 'cultivation' as a bonus point in the college entrance exam. They also want to set up a program for The Law of Divine Cosmic Contemplation in universities across the nation."
Listening to Elder Qianqing's words.
Xuanqing was somewhat surprised.
He didn't expect the government of Great Yan Kingdom to do something so big. If they really proceed as they have planned, the entire education sector might be turned upside down.
"Do you know why the Great Yan Kingdom is doing this?" Xuanqing arched his eyebrows and asked curiously.
Hearing this.
Elder Qianqing was taken aback, and then answered cautiously, "I do have some understanding."
"Ever since you, my master, started the cultivation path for humans, the number of cultivators in the Great Yan Kingdom has surged drastically."
"By now, the number of cultivators in the whole Great Yan Kingdom has surpassed one million, mostly public servants and students, followed by retired personnel from various industries."
"A while ago, the Great Yan Kingdom government conducted a survey. They found…Students who practise at Taoist Temples usually have excellent academic performances."
"Even those who previously did not perform well in their studies are gradually improving after they started practising The Law of Divine Cosmic Contemplation."
Accompanied by Elder Qianqing's explanation.
Xuanqing understood and then said, "Since the government of Great Yan Kingdom intends to promote The Law of Divine Cosmic Contemplation, let them do as they please. As for specifics on how to cooperate with your academy, you can handle it however you see fit!"
Hearing his palace master say this.
Elder Qianqing now had some certainty, so he bowed again.
"Yes, my lord, I now know what to do. I shall not disturb your peace, I'll take my leave!"
"Go!"
Xuanqing waved his hand.
Watching Elder Qianqing leave.
Xuanqing, with his hands clasped behind his back, gazed at the distant sky, his thoughts, however, had already drifted away.
For him, this huge move by the government of Great Yan Kingdom was undoubtedly advantageous, and could once again elevate the revenue from the offerings.
Therefore.
There was no reason for him to refuse.
Practising The Law of Divine Cosmic Contemplation conditions primarily on maintaining one's faith in 'Main God' during the entire process of cultivation.
The more devout one's faith in the Main God in one's heart, the more Heaven and Earth spiritual energy one can attract in the cultivation process.
You should know.
There is no Heaven and Earth spiritual in Water Blue Star. If you want to cultivate… except through the array disk he set up on the moon, using faith in the Main God to channel spiritual energy…
There's no other way!
Just as Xuanqing was deep in thought, a crisp voice rang out in his mind…
Is that Yang Ying's voice?
"Subordinate Yang Ying, request to see the temple master!"
Xuanqing came back to his senses.
It's surprising, Elder Qianqing just left, and now Yang Ying wants to come over. He wondered what business she had.

"Hurry to Qingping Temple!"
Just like before.
Xuanqing sent a message to Yang Ying, asking her to come over.
Moments later.
Yang Ying arrived at the inner courtyard.
"Greetings, temple master."
She first respectfully bowed, and then continued, "Temple master, as you commanded, the matter of controlled nuclear fusion has been researched.
Hearing these words.
"Oh?"
Xuanqing raised his eyebrows.
Then.
He made a move in his heart, released his God Soul, and instantly found the research base in Taiji Hall.
Next.
Waving the duster in his hand, he tore the space in front of him and imprinted the coordinates of the research base.
"Very well, you may accompany I (humble form used by a Taoist) to have a
look!"
As his words fell.
He took a step forward, entered the torn wormhole, and his figure disappeared on Qingping Mountain.
"Wait for me, temple master!" Yang Ying was first taken aback, then lightly tapped her toes and rushed towards the gradually disappearing wormhole.
Accompanied by a bout of dizziness.
When Yang Ying came to, she found herself deep at the entrance of the base, with the temple master standing beside her.
"Temple master, I'll showyou the way." Yang Ying shookher head, feeling dizzy.
"Mm!"
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
In fact.
He could have teleported directly into the base, but he noticed that an alarm system had been set up inside the base.
So, to avoid unnecessary commotion, he only brought Yang Ying to the entrance of the base and entered using normal means.
After entering the base.
Yang Ying flipped her right hand, took out an ID card from Sumi belt, and then swiped it against a door that looked like an elevator.
[Beep…Identity verification correct!]
A crisp mechanical electronic synthesized sound rang out, and the door slowly opened.
"Temple Master, please come in!"
"Mm."
The two of them walked in, and after Yang Ying pressed a button in the elevator, it slowly descended.
Finally.
The Controllable Nuclear Fusion Research Base was located deep underground.
As they walked.
Yang Ying briefed her temple master on their surroundings, "Temple master, this is the research base's reception hall, and this is Material Science…
"This is the Large Particle Collision Centrifuge, where the controlled nuclear fusion experiment is conducted."
She said.
Her hands forming a gesture, muttering words to cast a spell.
"Dirt-removing Spell!"
Whoosh-
A flash of light passed, removing all the dust and dirt from Yang Ying s body.
"Temple master, you…?" Yang Ying looked hesitant.
"I (humble form used by a Taoist) achieved immortality many years ago, and am untainted by dust, impervious to water and fire."
Xuanqing said indifferently.
He understood the meaning of his subordinate.
Generally speaking.
in a high-precision experimental base like this, even a single speck of dust is not allowed. Ordinary people even have to wear radiation-proof suits.
However, those who practice like Yang Ying don't have to worry about radiation, and only need to take care of dust protection.
"Oh, I see."
Yang Ying relaxed a bit after hearing her temple master's words.
Then.
The two entered a long isolation corridor, ultimately entering a space filled with large equipment and a sense of science fiction.
In the room.
There were a few researchers in protective suits, busy with their work, led by a middle-aged man with white hair and a slightly bald head.
Perhaps too absorbed.
After Yang Ying and Xuanqing entered the room, the researchers did not notice them and continued to be occupied with their work.
"Professor Zhenhua!"
"Hm?"
The bald-headed middle-aged man looked around in confusion before turning his head and realizing that two figures had appeared in the room without him noticing.
"Ah, it's Elder Yang Ying, you…oh, temple master?"
When he saw Xuanqing, his pupils shrank, and he was surprised, quickly telling the researchers next to him:
"Xiao Li, please take over for me, be sure to do the observation record properly."
"Understood, Professor Zhenhua!"
After arranging his work.
Yang Zhenhua hurried over to Xuanqing and Yang Ying, then respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, temple master. Greetings, Elder Yang Ying."
Seeing this.
Xuanqing nodded slightly, acknowledging the other party.
On the side.
Yang Ying politely said:
"Professor Zhenhua, please rise. Didn't I tell you before, just call me Yang
Ying."
Although she was an elder of Taiji Hall, she showed no pretense in front of this middle-aged bald man.
After all.
In her opinion, she was just lucky to have met the palace lord earlier and joined his side.
Hearing Yang Ying's words.
"Hehe!"
Yang Zhenhua just smiled and nodded, but didn't take her words seriously.
As a researcher in the Great Yan Kingdom, he had climbed up from being a junior brother and naturally understood the importance of status and hierarchy in everything he did.
Did you not see the saying circulating on the internet, that even if the Western Boss came along, wanting to start a project, he would have to stand up and show respect with a round of drinks first?
Although this is an exaggeration, it does show that in the atmosphere of the
Great Yan Kingdom, ability alone is not enough. What is more important is to know how to conduct oneself.
Seeing this.
Yang Ying could only smile helplessly.
She knew that for people like Professor Zhenhua from their generation, some traditions and rules were already ingrained in their souls and could not be swayed by her mere words.
As for this matter, she didn't continue to dwell on it.
"Professor Zhenhua, the temple master came here to learn about the matter of controlled nuclear fusion."

Chapter 366 Chapter 295: The Power of New Materials, Controlled Nuclear Fusion Accomplished!!
Translator: 549690339
Hearing this.
Yang Zhenhua was spiritually invigorated.
He stroked the hair on top of his head that had already turned into a Mediterranean style, his face revealing a confident expression.
"Palace Lord, please look over here."
With that.
Yang Zhenhua walked over to a massive machine and began to explain how he managed to accomplish Controlled Nuclear Fusion.
"Nuclear fusion occurs in a high-temperature, high-pressure plasma, where atomic nuclei come close to each other and combine to form a new, heavier nucleus."
"In this process, massive energy is released to complete nuclear fusion."
"Using our current technology, even though we can use particle accelerators to… and utilise ultrahigh speed centrifuges to let atoms… finally accomplish nuclear fusion."
"But once nuclear fusion is completed, there is no way to store it. The only option is to let its energy dissipate."
Yang Zhenhua pondered over his words, trying his best to explain the nuclear fusion process in layman's terms.
"But last time, Elder Yang Ying approached me and provided a lot of special materials…"
At that point, he became somewhat excited.
"These materials… These materials… It is not scientific, or even… it doesn't make any sense at all."
Yang Zhenhua, in the heat of excitement, was speaking rapidly.
The reason he was able to accomplish Controlled Nuclear Fusion was entirely due to the special materials provided by Yang Ying.
"Having extreme heat resistance, extreme toughness, and…"
After discussing a lot.
A look of disappointment then appears on his face.
"Unfortunately, the kind of materials given by Elder Yang Ying is limited. Once they are used up, I'm afraid it will revert back to the original state."
In Yang Zhenhua's view, such characteristics of the material are definitely extremely valuable and definitely hard to obtain.
However.
After hearing this.
"Pfft~"
Yang Ying burst out laughing, then joked: "Professor Zhenhua, you do not need to worry about the new materials."
"As for this material, our Palace Lord can have as much as he wants!"
Now.
The Five People of Taiji Hall have all learned that their Palace Lord, aside from establishing the Taiji Hall in Water Blue Star, also has a vast Black Wind Country in another world suitable for cultivation.
Hearing Yang Ying's words.
Yang Zhenhua was dumbfounded.
This… such a precious resource, could the Palace Lord have as much as he wants?
In an instant.
His mind began to play back all the various rumors about the Palace Lord.
In those rumors… The Palace Lord could reach the heavens and enter the earth, scooping meteorites with his bare hands… He was omnipotent and even Water Blue Star couldn't stop him.
There was even a rumor that the Palace Lord had built a palace on the moon, and a picture of it was once circulated online, but unfortunately, it was later censored, leaving just the rumors and no picture to be seen.
With these thoughts.
Yang Zhenhua felt inspired, touching his smooth bald head, he confidently promised:
"Palace Lord, Elder Yang Ying, if the supply of this special material is not restricted…"
"I am confident that within the next year, I will perfect the technology of Controlled Nuclear Fusion, and cover the majority… the majority of civilian industries under the Taiji Hall, replacing the original electricity and fuel energy!"
Upon hearing his words.
Yang Ying was overjoyed.
As the person in charge of worldly wealth for Taiji Hall, she knew very well the changes that would take place once Controlled Nuclear Fusion was applied to various industries.
You could say.
Any industry that needs to use energy, as long as Controlled Nuclear Fusion is introduced, it could gain complete 'monopoly.'
However.
Hearing the word 'one year.'
Xuanqing slightly frowned.
He looked at Yang Zhenhua, who brimmed with confidence despite his balding hair and the distinct signs of fatigue in his eyes…
After some thought.
"Professor Yang Zhenhua, one year is too long!"
"Ah… this… okay, nine months… no, half a year, just half a year, I will definitely be able to do it."
Yang Zhenhua gritted his teeth, determining in his heart that even if it killed him, he could not disappoint the Palace Lord.
More importantly.
According to rumors, our palace lord also possesses the power over life and death, capable of reviving the dead.
So… even if it costs me my life, I must fulfill the palace lord's task.
However.
Just as thousands of thoughts were running through his mind.
Over here.
Xuanqing smiles slightly, then reaches into his Game Backpack and pulls out a Ginseng Fruit.
With a wave of his duster.
The ginseng fruit transforms into a beam of light that shoots into Yang Zhenhua's body.
"You possess the ability to research, I give you the gift of Cultivation, hope you will use it well, and perfect controlled nuclear fusion as soon as possible!"
Xuanqing spoke lightly.
Maybe it's because he's spent too long in the Journey to the West World, his speech now unwittingly carries a slightly ancient feel.
Upon finishing his words.
He is ready to leave.
Sizzle-
Along with the movement of Xuanqing* s whisk, he tears a crack in the space in front of him, takes a step forward, and disappears completely within the main hall.
Watching as their palace lord disappears from sight.
Yang Ying can't help but sigh, the palace lord is becoming more and more enigmatic, not to mention anything else, he can now easily tear through space.
She can't help but feel grateful, grateful that her initial choice was so wise, fortunate that she stayed in Qingping Temple, otherwise there wouldn't be this situation today.
At this moment.
"Ah-"
A passionate voice sounded from the side.
Yang Ying glanced over.
She saw Professor Zhenhua, his whole body like it was blown over by a fan, or like a Saiyan belching seeds, with his clothes and hair all exploding open.
What's more, the bald Professor Zhenhua had grown a lush head of hair, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were gone, and his skin was smoother.
Looking at him, he didn't look like he was in his forties, but rather a young man in his twenties.
"So powerful, is this… the power of a cultivator?"
Yang Zhenhua murmured incredulously.
As a leading researcher in nuclear fusion, he has a firm inner faith, even after joining Taiji Hall, he couldn't develop a faith in the 'main god'.
So… even in this era when many people have become cultivators, he is still an ordinary man.
After all, prequalification for cultivation is faith in the Main God Xuanqing, and the more devout the faith, the more Heaven and Earth spiritual energy they can receive.
"Congratulations, Professor Zhenhua!"
Hearing the voice of Yang Ying by his side.
Yang Zhenhua returned to his senses, he quickly bowed towards where the crack was and said, "I… thank the palace lord for your grace."
In the excitement just now, he had forgotten to thank the palace lord, even though the palace lord has now left, he couldn't forget the necessary courtesy, after all… legendary powerful figures, can know everything with just one thought.
"Elder Yang Ying, I feel… from now on I will have faith in Main God Taichu!" Yang Zhenhua sighed with emotion.
He could feel.
Not only did he gain a strength inside his body, what's more significant was that his brain had become extremely nimble, many things that he didn't understand in the past, now only required a little thought to become absolutely clear.
Even… many memories from his childhood, which had long been forgotten, were becoming vivid at this moment.
"Hehehe- you should have done this earlier, now that you're a cultivator, are you confident you can complete the palace lord's task within half a year?"
Yang Ying covered her mouth with a smile, then raised her eyebrows teasingly.
Upon hearing this.
Yang Zhenhua, full of confidence, replied at once, "Half a year., no… at most, I need three months to complete the task given by the palace lord, applying nuclear fusion to most civilian industries."
"That's good, then I look forward to the good news from Professor Zhenhua." Yang Ying nodded, smiling.
Just as she was planning to leave as well.
Suddenly.
She was stopped by Professor Yang Zhenhua.
"Wait!"
"Hmm?" Yang Ying turned back, looking doubtfully at him.
"Um, about…"
Yang Zhenhua scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face, stuttering:
"Can you approve some funds, Elder Yang Ying, you know, the raw materials for nuclear fusion, they have already risen to ten thousand dollars per gram."
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 367 Chapter 296: The Explosive Growth of Incense Revenue!
Translator: 549690339
"How much do you need?"
Yang Ying hesitated for a moment before asking casually.
"One… ton of nuclear material?" Yang Zhenhua looked even more embarrassed, his voice as weak as a mosquito's.
For those engaged in research, there's nothing more awkward than asking for funding.
Just now, the task assigned by the palace lord was to apply nuclear fusion energy to all industries that require energy for civilian use.
As far as he knew, the scale of the industries controlled by Taiji Hall now was so vast that covering all of them with nuclear fusion energy would require at least ten tons, a very conservative estimate.
At this moment.
Hearing Professor Yang Zhenhua's words.
"One ton… one ton…"
Yang Ying secretly did some calculations in her heart.
According to the price of 10,000 US dollars per gram, each kilogram would be 10 million US dollars; one ton would be…
"Ten billion… US dollars?"
Yang Ying's mouth gaped slightly… raising her voice.
She knew high technology would be expensive, but she didn't think it would cost this much.
Although the industries Taiji Hall was involved in were huge, in the face of 10 billion US dollars, it was still an enormous amount.
It could even be said… they couldn't afford it at all.
If it were market value, it wouldn't be worth just 10 billion, but rather over 100 billion US dollars.
But the problem was, according to Professor Yang Zhenhua, they needed cash, a whole 10 billion in cash.
Even if it were a tobacco company, they probably couldn't come up with that much money in such a short period of time.
Not to mention… Taiji Hall now had much profit, but expenses were also high; just increasing staff salaries and various charitable activities consumed half of it.
Seeing the incredulous look on Yang Ying's face.
Yang Zhenhua looked somewhat ashamed.
Back when he was still in school, before Taiji Hall poached him, he had only asked for tens of thousands… at most hundreds of thousands in funding.
This 10-billion-dollar figure… was the first time he had ever mentioned it in his life.
"Elder Yang Ying, if you find it difficult, we could actually… pay in installments."
"As long as we replace the energy with nuclear fusion, we can monopolize the industry, and then recover the funds… it's just that… it might take a little longer."
Yang Zhenhua explained:
"For example, we could first replace the energy in the electric car and phone industries with nuclear fusion energy, and quickly recover a lot of cash, and then…"
Hearing this, Yang Ying nodded slightly.
She understood what he was saying.
That is to say… if they couldn't afford to cover all industries in full, they could do it in stages.
Anyway, as long as they unveiled the nuclear fusion energy, they could quickly monopolize the industry, and they would then have as much money as they wanted.
Of course… in this way, they wouldn't be able to meet the palace lord's requirement to fully cover all industries within half a year.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Ying asked, "What if we were to make our own nuclear materials? Would we save some money?"
"Difficult!"
Hearing this response, Yang Zhenhua shook his head.
"Elder Yang Ying, other materials for nuclear fusion are easy, but one of them, if self-made, is not much cheaper than purchasing and requires a lot of time and effort."
"This material is called Helium-3…"
Helium-3??
Yang Ying hesitated for a moment and then recalled some memories from high school.
There was a saying: physics knowledge might be beyond comprehension for college students, but for high school students, it was quite familiar.
Although she was a liberal arts student, she had managed to get into a prestigious media university due to her abilities. She understood some basic physics knowledge.
It was just that so many years had passed… she had forgotten.
Fortunately, after becoming a cultivator, Yang Ying's brain had been developed, and some long-forgotten knowledge could be recalled with a bit of pondering.
Helium-3… Helium-3…
"Professor Zhenhua, are you talking about… the Helium-3 mines on the Moon?" Yang Ying finally remembered and asked excitedly.
"Uh… yes."
Seeing her excitement, Yang Zhenhua was somewhat baffled.
"Hahaha- Then there's no problem. Although Helium-3 is scarce on Water Blue Star, the Moon has an uncountable amount."
Yang Ying showed a faint smile on her face and then said softly, "Our palace lord is capable of traversing the stars with his physical body."
"If you say that the main shortage is Helium-3, then I will report to the palace lord later and go to the Moon to collect some."
Traverse the stars with one's physical body?
Yang Zhenhua was dumbfounded.
This… this… this doesn't make sense. Even a moon landing rocket would have to carefully navigate the harsh environment of space, and the likelihood of returning would be slim.
Not to mention… huh?
Wait.
It quickly dawned on him that their palace lord wasn't an ordinary person but someone who could scoop meteorites with his bare hands.
When a meteorite fell from outer space, its energy would be equivalent to the explosion of countless nuclear bombs due to the gravitational pull of Water Blue Star.
Such a terrifying force could be easily handled by their palace lord, who could conjure a giant illusory hand to scoop it away…
Let alone the harsh environment of space.
With this in mind, Yang Zhenhua's spirits lifted, and he quickly saluted and said, "Great, great, great! Then I'll leave this matter to Elder Yang Ying."
"As long as you provide enough Helium-3,1 can guarantee that within three months, I'll replace all the nuclear energy within Taiji Hall's industries."
"Hm!"
Yang Ying nodded slightly, then waved her hand, "I'll have the Helium-3 raw materials sent to you soon. Then, I won't bother you anymore, Professor!"

Translator: 549690339
"Hahaha, take it slow, take it slow."
Yang Zhenhua laughed and returned the salute, watching the other party leave.
After Yang Ying left.
All the other young researchers in the laboratory couldn't help but put down their work and gather around Yang Zhenhua.
Upon seeing this scene.
Yang Zhenhua's face became serious, and he scolded, "What are you all doing?
Why are you all staring at me?"
The researchers had expressions of surprise on their faces.
When the palace lord and Elder Yang Ying were present, they didn't even dare to look in this direction. Now that Elder Yang Ying had left, they realized that their boss…had changed completely.
The once somber little old man had turned into a young man about their age, looking only about twenty years old.
"Professor, you…you've become younger."
One of the researchers couldn't help but speak up.
As soon as these words came out.
Immediately.
The other researchers began to speak one after another, commenting excitedly.
"That's right, Professor Zhenhua, you look only about twenty now."
"So envious, just now I heard something about the palace lord passing on some divine power."
"Immortal has touched my head, receiving eternal life; I think…our palace lord might really be an immortal from heaven."
For a moment.
These researchers, who were originally unwavering believers in science, couldn't help but change their beliefs, thinking that there might be gods in this world, and that their palace lord…might be one of them.
At this moment.
Hearing the words of these youngsters under his command.
Yang Zhenhua was slightly stunned and couldn't help but touch his face with his hand.
The touch was smooth and tender.
Hmm…according to the girl's words, would that be collagen?
"Does anyone have a mirror…?"
Just as Yang Zhenhua was about to ask who had brought a mirror.
Suddenly.
His vision changed, feeling his surroundings in a 3D manner instead of his usual 2D point of view.
From this perspective, he could even see his own back for the first time.
Divine thought!
Spirit out of the body!
Realizing this, Yang Zhenhua's mind came up with the term, and he understood why it had happened.
It turned out that when the palace lord bestowed his grace earlier, his cultivation had already been elevated to the stage of turning Qi into God.
At this cultivation level, even though the spirit leaving the body was still somewhat difficult, it wasn't a problem to spread divine thoughts around the body.
"Eh…there's actually some energy in my body. Is this…the gift from the palace lord?"
With the observation of his divine thoughts.
Yang Zhenhua quickly discovered that in his Dantian, there was a huge cluster of energy.
It was similar to a baby with a nose and eyes.
Nascent Soul?
Yang Zhenhua thought of this term, and he recalled a novel he had confiscated from a student, which mentioned concepts like Qi cultivation, foundation building, and Nascent Soul.
Of course…what he didn't know was that it wasn't a Nascent Soul at all.
It was just that the energy from a single Ginseng Fruit was too enormous for a mortal to absorb, so it had been sealed in his Dantian by Xuanqing.
While Yang Zhenhua was lost in thought.
The researchers became frantic, realizing that their boss had suddenly stopped moving; his heartbeat and breathing had disappeared.
"Boss, don't scare us."
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"Quick, someone, Professor Zhenhua has stopped breathing."
In his divine thought state.
Watching the researchers panicking.
Yang Zhenhua was about to explain when his vision spun again, and his divine thoughts unknowingly returned to his physical body.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"I just had my spirit out of my body." Yang Zhenhua consoled.
The researchers came to their senses and gasped in shock.
"Hiss!"
"I've heard from my classmates that cultivators who hang around the Taoist temple are as light as swallows and can walk on walls. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true."
"Of course it's true, but I feel like they're definitely not as powerful as our boss, after all, he received the palace lord's grace."
"Yeah, boss…hurry up and tell us, what other divine powers do you have besides spirit out of the body?"
The crowd gathered around Yang Zhenhua, chattering away.
"Enough, return to your posts. Tonight, I'll treat you to supper. Let's talk after work."
Yang Zhenhua was annoyed by the noise like a bunch of ducks, and scolded them before returning to his post.
At this moment, his mind was incredibly clear after his cultivation realm transformation, and he constantly had new ideas for scientific research.
So, all he wanted to do was turn these inspirations into results as soon as possible, instead of bragging around with his students here.
Not to mention the shock of the people in the nuclear fusion research lab.
On this side.
Qingping Mountain.
Xuanqing, who was at the research base a moment ago, returned to the inner courtyard of Qingping Mountain instantly after tearing through the space.
It must be said.
After reaching the yin and yang realms of cultivation, the distance that can be traveled is no longer measured in units like 'thousands of miles.'
Under the tear of space, the distance that can be crossed may only be calculated in light-years.
"Let's see how much incense has been accumulated during this time!"
At the top of Qingping Mountain, on a huge rock.
Xuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, with the Gang Wind blowing in gusts, but not moving a single corner of his clothes.
With a thought in mind.
His vast divine soul spread out, covering the entire East Asia continent. After this period of development, with the Great Yan Kingdom as the center, several state-level cities in the surrounding countries had built Taoist temples.
"Collect!"
With a low shout.
In an instant.
The wind swept away like clouds.
The power of incense fire stored in all the Taoist temples in the East Asia continent quickly rose into the air and converged, eventually shooting towards a certain direction.
Those cultivators who had reached a certain realm of cultivation knew that this was the Main God Taichu collecting the incense of sentient beings.
So.
During their cultivation process, they prayed even harder and repeatedly hypnotized themselves in their hearts to be more devout, devout… even more devout.
Because, in their eyes, when the gods absorbed the incense, they often cast their eyes down as well.
To cultivate on Water Blue Star, apart from receiving Xuanqing's favor, there is only one way to become a disciple of the Taoist temple and believe in the Main
God Taichu.
"Not bad, the power of incense has become much richer during this time."
At the summit of Qingping Mountain.
Xuanqing looked at the thick and liquefied incense belief suspended in the air, showing a satisfied smile.
His initial choice to establish the Taiji Palace on Water Blue Star was a right step, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enjoy so much incense without doing anything like now.
"Recharge!" Xuanqing murmured in his heart.
The next moment.
A crisp and pleasant prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding… 61E Ingots!]
"Tsk, tsk, sixty-one billion incense in nine days, that's an average of over six hundred million a day, almost seven hundred million."
Xuanqing nodded in satisfaction.
Keep in mind.
Not long ago, the daily income on Water Blue Star was only four hundred million, and now it has increased to nearly seven hundred million in incense revenue.
He guessed that the reason for such a significant increase was due to several factors.
First, the improvement of welfare and salary in labor-intensive industries made more people inclined to pursue the spiritual world.
Second, as the number and cultivation level of cultivators increased, more incense faith could be contributed.
Third, the opening of the new market in the entire East Asia continent and the construction of more Taoist temples.
These three aspects combined led to a nearly doubled daily revenue of incense. "I've been in the real world for a while, and I don't know how the game world is developing. It's time to enter the game and have a look."
Xuanqing muttered softly.
Also.
With sixty-one billion incense accumulated now, it was equivalent to exchanging several Chaos Extreme Yin Pills, and it would also allow him to cultivate in the game world..

Translator: 549690339
Just as Xuanqing was about to enter the game,
Suddenly,
He felt something.
Xuanqing stopped the action of entering the game and sat down cross-legged on the spot because he felt Yang Ying was coming over.
When his cultivation had reached his level, it was no longer as simple as predicting the fortune; as long as it was related to himself and not beyond his level, he could generally know in advance.
As expected,
Moments later,
Yang Ying arrived at the Taoist temple door.
"Palace lord, your subordinate has important matters to report.
"Enter!"
After hearing the lord's voice, Yang Ying straightened her clothes and entered the inner courtyard.
"Palace lord!" Yang Ying respectfully saluted.
"Hmm, have you come to see me about the nuclear fusion material?" Xuanqing nodded slightly and casually asked.
Upon hearing this,
Yang Ying was not surprised that she hadn't said anything, yet the palace lord already knew her purpose. She already believed her lord was anything but a mortal character, even… perhaps, the immortals in heaven couldn't compare to her lord.
"Yes, my lord. After you left the research base, Professor Yang Zhenhua requested funding from your subordinate…"
-The amount of money is really huge, it's up to billions of US dollars. Even for today's Taiji Hall, it's difficult to come up with the money."
"Later, I found out that the reason for the massive expense was mainly due to the scarcity of a certain material. This nuclear material is extremely scarce on Water Blue Star, but on the moon…"
Yang Ying explained everything in detail.
Upon hearing this,
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing laughed.
Ah- isn't that a coincidence?
He had just developed a teleportation array, and now the Taiji Hall's secular forces needed to go to the moon to collect nuclear material.
"Well, since you said… you need the nuclear material from the moon, I'll introduce you to something…"
While speaking,
Xuanqing pointed with his finger at a faintly glowing formation in the corner of the courtyard outside the room.
"This is…?"
Yang Ying looked at it, puzzled.
They were talking about the moon's nuclear materials, so why the sudden change of topic?
just as she was puzzled, she heard an unbelievable and even imaginative comment.
She heard the Palace lord say,
"This is a teleportation array, enter and instantly go to the moon, and on the moon side, I have also set up a teleportation array. The function is the same; you can instantly return from the moon."
"However, using this formation often involves a mysterious space pulling force. You need the Cultivation of Turning Qi into God to resist it!" Instantly? Travel back and forth between Water Blue Star and the moon?
Yang Ying was dumbfounded.
As the one who had been in control of the secular forces since the establishment of Taiji Hall, her knowledge was no longer that of a small journalist.
In an instant,
She imagined many things.
This teleportation array could not only solve the current problem but also meant that the Water Blue Star or, more precisely, Taiji Hall would step into the level of space development from now on?
-This… my lord, if I may dare to ask, can this teleportation array be set up to transport to other planets besides the moon?"
Yang Ying took a deep breath and asked expectantly.
"It can!"
Xuanqing said indifferently, but his tone changed and he continued, "Setting up a teleportation array is not difficult for me, but…"
-The farther the distance, the greater the space pulling force, meaning the higher the Cultivation required."
In fact,
The principle of the teleportation array is to fold the space between two places first and then build corresponding stable channels.
In this case, the space pulling force would be generated according to the length of the distance when teleporting.
For example, from Water Blue Star to the moon, one would need the Cultivation of Turning Qi into God to resist this space pulling force. If it were an ordinary mortal, it would not be space teleportation but space cutting.
At this moment,
After hearing the lord's words,
Yang Ying's eyes were filled with excitement.
Although she heard from the lord that there were some limitations in using the teleportation array due to the level of her Cultivation, and maybe Taiji Hall couldn't teleport too far,
Even just being able to travel freely between Water Blue Star and the moon would be enough to change the current situation of Water Blue Star.
To be aware,
It isn't just Helium-3, the expensive nuclear material on the moon, there are also large quantities of rare earth resources, titanium iron ore, and so on.
It could be said,
As soon as they achieve "free travel to the moon," Taiji Hall will have an absolute say in the entire aerospace field.
"That's great, my lord. With this teleportation array, our Taiji Hall will never worry about worldly wealth in the future.
"Professor Yang Zhenhua also said that with unlimited access to Helium-3, global energy replacement could be achieved in a very short time, completely replacing traditional fuel-energy and electrical-energy."
Yang Ying's eyes were shining brightly, and she had already begun to imagine the scene of Taiji Hall, controlling the world's largest energy resources in the future.
However, she sobered up quickly.
To travel freely between Water Blue Star and the moon, in addition to the teleportation array, a Cultivation of Turning Qi into God was also required.
With this thought,
Yang Ying's cheeks turned red, and she asked somewhat awkwardly, "My lord, can you create a group of cultivators with the power of Turning Qi into God? They don't have to do anything else but specialize in mining on the moon!"

Chapter 297: The Concerns of Elder Tao Jingde and Yang Ying._2
Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing fell into contemplation.
At present, on the Water Blue Star, he only created Ginseng Fruit cultivators for the five members of Taiji Palace and the Law Enforcement Team that was responsible for the security of cultivators in various provinces of the Great Yan Kingdom.
It is worth mentioning that,
The so-called Ginseng Fruit cultivators were names he took for those cultivators created using Ginseng Fruits in batches.
As Taiji Palace's power continued to expand, the influence of post-nuclear fusion energy reform would touch on the interests of many powerful countries in this world.
Under such circumstances,
The existing power seemed somewhat insufficient, such as the recent incident where Ru Xiao was kidnapped by the Star Country.
If there had been enough cultivators to protect their mission team, such incidents could have been avoided.
"What you said makes sense, now the power of Taiji Palace is somewhat insufficient."
Xuanqing nodded his head and then said in a deep voice,
"If that's the case, I will give you a hundred Initial Stage of Qi Refining and God Transforming positions, and… you let Elder Jingde prepare a hundred people, I'll get it done for them all together."
Just as the saying goes, herding one sheep or ten sheep doesn't make a difference. For him, the process of creating one, a hundred, or even two hundred cultivators had no distinction.
If it were not for the concern that creating too many high-level cultivators at once might pose a challenge for the five members of Taiji Palace to manage, even tens of thousands of them would be a small matter.
One should know,
With his current daily incense income, amounted to nearly 700 million; if all were to be exchanged into Ginseng Fruits, it would be a terrifying number.
"Thank you, Palace Lord, I will go inform Elder Jingde right away!" Yang Ying's heart was filled with joy, and she immediately bowed in thanks.
Speaking of which,
Her position in Taiji Palace had always been quite awkward. Although she was in charge of all the worldly wealth of Taiji Palace, she did not have much power in her hands.
Every time someone tried to cause trouble for her, she had to ask Elder Jingde or Elder Qianqing for support. It was not a big deal, but the main issue was that it would delay her affairs and was very inconvenient.
Now with these hundred Initial Stage of Qi Refining and God Transforming subordinates, no matter what she did, it would be more convenient and she could be more relaxed.
Two days later,
Qingping Temple announced its closure for one day.
Yang Ying and Elder Jingde, each with hundreds of people behind them, flocked to the entrance of the Inner Court of the Qingping Temple.
"We ask to see the Palace Lord!"
"Enter."
A faint sound entered the ears of the people.
The two hundred people who followed behind Yang Ying and Elder Jingde felt incredibly apprehensive at the thought of seeing the Main God Taichu.
They walked in with orderly steps,
Not daring to look at the face of the Main God Taichu. But even without looking, the mere presence alone prevented them from even taking a deep breath.
They felt a mix of anticipation and apprehension.
"Palace Lord, the people have been brought here."
Yang Ying and Elder Jingde, both slightly bowed, greeted their Palace Lord and said.
"Hmm."
Xuanqing stood up, his gaze falling on the numerous followers behind the two.
The presence of more than two hundred people made the inner courtyard seem a bit crowded.
Interestingly,
Among the subordinates that Elder Jingde brought were both men and women. Surprisingly, the subordinates that Yang Ying brought consisted of men only and not a single woman.
The reason for this was not discrimination against women, but that some tasks were more naturally suited for men.
Such as… mining on the Moon!
At this moment,
Xuanqing saw that everyone was somewhat nervous, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Then,
"The mind as clear as ice, like water…"
As Xuanqing recited the Taoist scripture, rays of light emanated from his body, as if he was the one who uttered the golden lotus and emitted the aura of the Tao.
The two hundred originally nervous people immediately felt their minds become calmer.
"Hold your breath and focus, I am going to begin!" Xuanqing said indifferently.
The next moment,
He waved the whisk in his hand, producing two hundred rays of light, each containing a ginseng fruit as an energy source.
Hum
in an instant.
The aura of two hundred people suddenly soared upwards, transforming from novice cultivators who had only started Qi Introduction and had just a little mana, into cultivators with Refining Essence into Qi level… and still growing…
Early stage of Refining Essence into Qi… middle stage… late stage…
Broke through.
Turning Qi into God!
Countless tiny God Souls emerged from everyone's body, just like what happened to Professor Yang Zhenhua at the research institute before. For the first time, they saw their own backs and experienced the wonders in the state of the God Soul.
Upon reaching the realm of Turning Qi into God, their cultivation levels did not stop, but continued to rise… middle stage… late stage… peak!
In the end.
The cultivation of the two hundred people reached the peak of Turning Qi into God before stopping.
Even so, the power of the ginseng fruit was consumed only a small part, and most of the energy had been sealed inside their bodies to be used as a daily expenditure of casting spells.
The reason these two hundred people could be directly injected to the peak of Turning Qi into God is that they already had some foundation in cultivation.
As for Professor Yang Zhenhua from the research institute, he was a completely ordinary person and therefore couldn't achieve this.
Of course.
Another important point was that after such extreme infusion of cultivation, their potential was essentially exhausted at this moment, and they could no longer make any further progress relying on themselves in the future, unless Xuanqing reinjected higher cultivation levels into them.
In contrast, people like Professor Zhenhua, Yang Ying, Elder Jingde, who had only just entered the early stage of Turning Qi into God, or later stages, had absorbed the energy of the ginseng fruit on their own without consuming their potential and could go farther on their path of cultivation.
A moment later.
These two hundred cultivators, who had originally only started Qi Introduction, were all transformed into cultivators at the peak of Turning Qi into God.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing waved his whisk, which turned into countless threads, tying up the cultivators and throwing them towards the back mountain of Qingping Mountain.
In the process, he also applied a shielding formation.
"You guys familiarize yourselves with the power within your bodies here!"
Before the cultivators could react, they found their surroundings had changed, and they heard the words of the Main God Taichu in their minds, telling them to familiarize themselves with their power first.
In this way, they couldn't help being excited, trying out the mysteries of the realm of the peak of Turning Qi into God.
In the inner courtyard.
After Xuanqing had taken the cultivators away, only Elder Jingde, Yang Ying, and Xuanqing remained in the inner courtyard of the Taoist temple.
At this moment.
A worried expression appeared on the faces of both Yang Ying and Elder Jingde.
They originally thought that their palace lord would only inject the initial stage of Turning Qi into God into his subordinates, but they didn't expect him to inject the peak stage of Turning Qi into God directly.
In this way.
It was equivalent to having hundreds of people with cultivation levels higher than their own, and although the palace lord suppressed them, it was likely that there would be unwise actions from the people below.
But eventually, some bad ideas might arise in their hearts, and even the possibility of rebellion might occur.
"Hehe, I know what you guys are thinking."
However.
Xuanqing saw through their thoughts and only shook his head with a smile.
Next.
He took out two tokens from his chest and threw them to the two of them, casually commanding:
"You two refine these prohibition tokens, and you can easily tighten the cultivation of your subordinates."
"Don't envy the high cultivation level I've injected into them. Remember that misfortune and fortune are interdependent. Although they've gained the cultivation at the peak of Turning Qi into God, their potential for cultivation has been exhausted!"
Hearing this.
The two of them took the tokens and were overjoyed, bowing down to the palace lord and gratefully saying, "Thank you for your consideration, palace lord!"
"Go on."
"Yes!" The two of them bowed again and then left the inner courtyard. With this token, they no longer had to worry about their subordinates disobeying them.
After Yang Ying and Elder Jingde left.
Xuanqing sat down, closed his eyes, and whispered in his heart.
"Enter the game!"
Chapter 298: Monkey King and Tang Xuanzang with their own thoughts.
Translator: 549690339
Journey to the West World.
Black Wind Mountain.
Xuanqing woke up and opened his eyes.
He had spent a considerable half year in the real world, following a ratio of ten to one in both worlds, it was implied that nearly five years had passed on the Game World…
"Open Character Panel!"
[Name: Xuanqing
[Physique: Chaos Morality Holy Body
[Grade: Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation: Yin-Yang Realms (Yin 20…%, Yang 6.5%)
[Cultivation Method: Undetermined
[Divine Ability: Space Array Dao (Elementary), Destiny Controlling Dragon Technique (), Thirty-Six Heavenly Skills (Perfection)
[Ingots: 75E
On the character panel, the progress of the Yin-Yang realms was still twenty percent in the Yin Space Rule and six and a half percent in the Yang Time Rule.
While his in-game ingots were as much as seven and a half billion.
The first seven days yielded sixty-one billion, after which Yang Ying and Elder Jingde were allowed to select their subordinates, waited for two days, and received seven billion each day.
In the end.
He possessed seven and a half billion merits.
"Seven and a half billion… It can be exchanged for seven Chaos Extreme Yin Pills!" Xuanqing murmured softly, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile.
Based on his daily income of seven billion, it amounted to buying a Chaos-level Elixir every day and a half.
Think about it.
In the real world, all the incense money didn't need to be shared with others, moreover, there was the demographic dividend of over seven billion people. As long as it was developed, the daily income would be a horrifying number.
Moreover… When they enter the interstellar age, under the condition of infinite resources, the reproduction speed of humanity would rise exponentially.
"Prepare to practice."
Xuanqing murmured in his heart, "Buy seven Chaos Extreme Yin Pills."
[Ding… -70.7E ingots are deducted!]
With the reduction of seventy billion and seven hundred million ingots, seven shortly glowing Chaos Extreme Yin Pills now appeared in his game backpack.
Next.
Xuanqing opened his palm and took out a Chaos Extreme Yin Pill.
Gulp-
Tilting his head back, he swallowed it down. It transformed into an extremely special power of rules, covering his entire body.
Under this state, the 'Yin Space' rule would, like a moth to the flame, automatically enter his mind.
"Use Time Acceleration!"
As Xuanqing was cultivating in seclusion on Black Wind Mountain.
On the other side.
Two Realms Mountain.
Below a towering mountain peak that seemed to reach into the clouds, yet was oddly shaped like five fingers.
A classic scene was being enacted.
"Master- you should step back… or else I might hurt you!"
"Not enough, not far enough, go further, much further-"
At the bottom of the mountain.
A monkey being oppressed, with only its head sticking out, was the Monkey King, trapped under the Five Elements Mountain.
This moment.
The Monkey King was shouting at a handsome monk, asking him to stay back.
"Could this strange monkey be testing me?"
Seeing the Monkey King insisting for him to step back, Tang Xuanzang pondered, but since the Monkey King was saying so, he could only keep retreating.
In such manner.
He retreated a few kilometers from the outside until he could hardly see the Monkey King or the Five Finger Mountain.
At last.
The earth shattered.
Boom-
The massive Five Finger Mountain with the absence of the suppression of the talisman formation, was easily broken free by the Monkey King, transforming into fragments that filled the sky.
A large chunk of debris was flying straight at Tang Xuanzang in the distance.
Even though he had retreated quite a distance, he was still in the shockwave when the enormous Five Finger Mountain collapsed.
Not far away.
Tang Xuanzang's face turned pale.
He saw the giant piece of rock flying right at him. If hit, he would surely turn into meat paste.
Was he going to die before even leaving the Tang Empire?
Was the task of fetching the scriptures going to end with this Monkey?
At that moment.
"This impulsive monkey, always so anxious."
A sigh.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had been patiently waiting in the shadows, waved her sleeve lightly, casting out Buddha's light to protect Tang Xuanzang.
Bump-
Right then, the large rock hit the Buddha light but Tang Xuanzang wasn't harmed at all.
"Amitabha… With Bodhisattva's protection…"
Tang Xuanzang wiped the sweat from his forehead and chanted Buddha's name.
While Tang Xuanzang was still in shock.
"Master-"
First, a piercing sound, then an extremely fast, red-haired Monkey King rushed at Tang Xuanzang.
That's just great!
He was afraid that if the rock didn't kill him, the Monkey King would kill him instead.
Seeing this.
Guanyin Bodhisattva could no longer restrain herself and immediately revealed her figure, chastising the Monkey King:
"Hey- Impulsive monkey, your master Tang Xuanzang is physically mortal, how can he withstand your torment?"
???
The Monkey King was shocked, his smile gradually disappeared, and a trace of incomprehension flickered in his eyes.
He wanted to refute, but the corner of his eye caught sight of the shattered Five Finger Mountain behind him.
After considering.
"Bodhisattva taught correctly, disciple… the disciple won't do it anymore."
As his words fell.
The Monkey King walked gently to Tang Xuanzang's side, bit his lip without hesitation, and knelt on the ground.
"Disciple Monkey King… pays respects to the master!"
At that moment.
Tang Xuanzang had just reacted..

Chapter 298: Monkey King and Tang Xuanzang with their own thoughts. _2
Translator: 549690339
He didn't bother with Monkey King kneeling on the ground and first kowtowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva, clasping his hands together and chanting:
"Disciple Tang Xuanzang, paying respects to the Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
"Hmm." Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded slightly and then said indifferently, "Tang Xuanzang, from now on, this monkey will escort you on your journey to the West."
"This…"
A hesitation flashed across Tang Xuanzang's face.
Originally, he didn't care; having more disciples meant having more hands. However, after the recent incident, he felt that he would eventually die at the hands of the other party.
How could he dare to accept him?
However.
As a disciple of Buddhism, he dared not to defy the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
With this in mind.
Tang Xuanzang could only lower his head, sigh deeply in his heart, and then clasp his hands together and say, "I will obey Bodhisattva's decree and do my best to teach him in the future."
"Good!"
Seeing this.
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded with satisfaction and then vanished into thin air.
In this manner.
Monkey King, with ulterior motives, and fearful Tang Xuanzang began their unique journey to the West.
Once out of the range of Two Realms Mountain.
The road became more and more treacherous, full of dense thorny forests and bizarre rocks, as well as countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
All the way.
Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King didn't say a word and kept moving forward in silence.
The former was always worried that his newly accepted disciple would go mad at some point and accidentally kill him.
As for the latter, he was reluctant.
For him, who had once caused a sensation and even made the Heavenly Court give him the title of Monkey King-
Now.
He had to kowtow to a mere mortal, fearing the retribution of Buddhism and another five hundred years of imprisonment, he would have run away if he could.
As for repaying Tang Xuanzang for saving him?
What a joke
imprisoning me, Old Sun, for five hundred years and then releasing me, can this also be counted as a favor?
In Monkey King's view, Tang Xuanzang and Buddhism were in cahoots, and the other party's act of saving him was just a performance with Buddhism.
This behavior is just like stabbing you with a knife, then healing your knife wound, and asking you to repay it.
Not killing Tang Xuanzang on the spot was just because he was afraid of being punished by Buddhism again; did he really think Old Sun didn't understand?
Therefore.
That's why Monkey King directly tried to overturn the Five Finger Mountain, intending to 'accidentally' kill Tang Xuanzang, and then escape, return to Flower and Fruit Mountain, and continue to be his carefree Mountain King.
Later, one plan failed and another emerged, trying to get excited and 'accidentally' hug Tang Xuanzang to death, but was unfortunately stopped by that annoying Guanyin.
Now.
Monkey King realized.
Escaping or playing tricks will definitely not work. Guanyin will obviously protect Tang Xuanzang in secret all the way.
There is only one way left for him: to escort Tang Xuanzang to the Great Leiyin Temple in Western Heaven with obedience and sincerity, to obtain the true scripture.
Having walked for about an hour.
With a tight mood and stuffy weather in the mountains and forests, Tang Xuanzang was soaked with sweat from head to toe.
Just as he hesitated, wondering whether to suggest to his monkey disciple that they find a place to rest for a while…
Suddenly.
Smoke from a cooking fire caught his attention.
"Oh, there's a household over there. Apprentice…how about we go rest and ask for some water to drink?"
Tang Xuanzang was overjoyed and immediately said.
Hearing this.
Monkey King shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Sure, let's go rest."
Following the original plot.
One man and one monkey arrived at the entrance of a courtyard, and Tang Xuanzang knocked on the door.
Boom- boom boom
"Who's coming? Oh, and how is there a monkey?"
An old man opened the door and was startled when he saw Monkey King behind Tang Xuanzang. He quickly stepped backward.
Though he had seen monkeys before, he had never seen one stand upright like a human.
Seeing this,
Tang Xuanzang hurriedly stepped forward, calming the old man, "Don't be afraid, old man. This monkey is my disciple."
"Oh, so he's the elder's disciple; he scared this old man to death; I thought I ran into a demon." The old man patted his chest and then led the two of them inside.
Going into the house,
From behind the room beam, a half-sized little boy with a bun peeked out, secretly observing the guests who had come to his house.
"Child, go and get two bowls of water," the old man commanded his grandson hiding in the room beam.
Afterward,
He turned his head and said to Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King, "Two elders, please wait a moment. I will cook two vegetarian meals for you."
"Amitabha, thank you, old man."
Tang Xuanzang quickly put his hands together, giving his thanks.
At the side,
Monkey King chuckled, highly interested in the little boy fetching water, thinking to himself… this kid, he's just like his grandfather was as a child.
Speaking of it,
This old man had a connection with Monkey King. Decades ago, when the old man was still a child herding cows, he met Monkey King, who was trapped under a mountain.
It's said that young children's hearts are pure, and at that time, the old man wasn't afraid and picked a few peaches to give to Monkey King, allowing Monkey King, who drank iron juice and copper water every day, to have a good taste.
In a while,
The old man brought over two bowls of vegetarian meals, enthusiastically inviting them, "I only have coarse grains to serve, I hope the two elders won't mind!"
"Thank you, old man." Tang Xuanzang thanked him once again.
However,
Monkey King at the side let out a hearty laugh and then teasingly asked, "Old man, do you still remember me, Old Sun?"
Upon hearing this,
The old man was stunned.
Not only did this monkey look like a person, but he could also speak like a human?
But,
Soon… A vague childhood memory surfaced in the old man's mind, but with age, his thinking was somewhat blurred, and he couldn't remember it at once.
Just as the old man was lost in his thoughts,
Tang Xuanzang chastised Wukong, "Wukong, don't be rude. This old man kindly invites us. How can you call him 'old man'?"
"Hehe, what's wrong with calling him old man? If we go by seniority, I could be his ancestor!"
Monkey King laughed and then turned his head to remind the old man, "Old man, do you remember when you used to herd cows back then "
With Monkey King's reminder,
The old man suddenly realized.
He finally remembered, quickly moving forward to examine Monkey King, and then said happily, "It's the Monkey King… Monkey King, right?"
"Hehe- Monkey King, my surname is Sun!" Monkey King scratched his chest, then pointed at the little boy huddled in the corner, saying:
"This kid is just like you were back then."
On the side,
Seeing this scene,
Tang Xuanzang was amazed.
He didn't expect his own cheap disciple to have such a background. Judging from the old man's age, didn't that mean… Monkey King had lived for at least a hundred years?
And., the title 'Monkey King' was too ostentatious. Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Parents, and Teachers, this riotous monkey claimed to be equal to heaven, truly rebellious.
At the dining table,
Perhaps it was because of the memories of his childhood,
The old man talked a lot. He talked about his father, when he got married, and finally introduced his grandson.
Surprisingly,
The usually restless Monkey King, while the old man was talking, listened carefully from beginning to end without showing any impatience.
Although the monkey was naughty, he distinguished between love and hate. Dozens of years ago, he had experienced the old man's kindness through wild peaches, so he had a good impression of the old man and was naturally willing to listen to him.
However,
This originally harmonious atmosphere was soon broken.
First, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, followed by the voices of a few burly men.
"Hahaha- There's a household here, let's go in and borrow some money to spend, and see if there are any young girls."
"Good brother, you're right. We've been tired from running all the way. Let's go in and have a look."
Between their words,
The leading rogue kicked at the door,
Clang-
The door fell, and more than a dozen bandits stormed in like a pack of wolves, their faces full of excitement..
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 299: The Taoist desires to create a secluded netherworld!
Translator: 549690339
Inside the room.
The old man, who was having a lively conversation, was shocked by the commotion and quickly tried to hide inside with his grandson.
However.
Squeak-
The bandits had already pushed the door open and entered the room.
"Hey, kid, I just need to borrow some… My goodness, what's with the monkey?" The leader of the bandits was about to say something, but he was startled by Monkey King's appearance.
At this sight.
Monkey King immediately stood up.
Just as he was about to use his mana to kill these bandits, a brilliant idea crossed his mind.
"Hehe~" Monkey King let out a weird laugh and glanced at the confused Tang Xuanzang beside him, then stepped forward.
Golden Cudgel!
Monkey King reached behind his ear, pulled out his signature weapon, the Golden Cudgel, and changed it to the perfect size.
"You dare to behave so brazenly in the presence of your Grandfather Sun? Watch how I accompany you in a game." Monkey King raised the club.
Bang-
With one swing, he intentionally controlled his strength to severely injure the bandit, sending him flying out.
Seeing this.
Tang Xuanzang finally reacted.
When he saw the bandit spitting blood and flying backward, he worried that Monkey King would kill the man, and as Monkey King's master, wouldn't he be implicated as well?
"Wukong, you… don't create any more karmic killings." Tang Xuanzang's voice was anxious.
However.
In Monkey King's mind, he had already made up his mind to intentionally anger Tang Xuanzang so that he would willingly expel him from the teacher's door. Guanyin had no reason to stop him now.
Moments later.
Hearing no more commotion outside.
Tang Xuanzang finally pushed the door open and walked out. When he saw the corpses all over the ground, he trembled with anger and scolded:
"You… you… as a monk, how could you kill people just like that, creating karmic consequences? Aren't you afraid of being punished by Buddha?"
"Hehe, in my opinion, these bandits are full of murderous intent, surely they have many lives on their hands. By killing them, who knows how many people I may have saved."
Monkey King explained nonchalantly.
All he wanted was this effect, hoping that the monk would immediately expel him from the teacher's door so he could go back to Flower and Fruit Mountain and continue his carefree life as the Mountain King.
"You… even if they have blood on their hands, the government office should deal with them. What right do you have to kill them?"
Tang Xuanzang's face turned from green to white.
He had clearly tried to stop Monkey King, but the latter still acted ruthlessly, showing no respect for him as a master.
Moreover… the journey to the West was just beginning, and Monkey King had already created karmic killings. If this continued, he feared they would not be able to obtain the true scripture in the Western Heaven.
It was these two points combined that made him so angry.
At the side,
The old man couldn't bear it any longer and said to Tang Xuanzang, "Venerable elder, I think the Great Sage's words are not unreasonable."
"Not to mention the bandits' past deeds, if the Great Sage doesn't kill them today and they escape to seek revenge later, wouldn't my grandson and I be in danger?"
"Even if we follow what Elder Tang says and have them arrested by the government office, what if they have accomplices who know the ins and outs of the situation? Once you leave, the accomplices will come to take revenge on me… what should I do then?"
"May I ask Elder Tang, is the bandit's life a life, but the lives of an old man and his grandson not a life?"
By the end.
The old man's face was showing a hint of anger.
Afterward,
He pulled his grandson, bowed to Monkey King, and sincerely expressed his gratitude, saying:
"Thank you, Great Sage, for saving us!"
"No need to thank me. You gave me fruit in the past, so today I've saved your life, we're even, hehe-" Monkey King grinned, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly.
After saying that.
Monkey King glanced at Tang Xuanzang, whose face had turned pale.
Seeing that Tang Xuanzang still had no intention of driving him away, he rolled his eyes and came up with another crooked idea.
When Monkey King saw the corpses all over the courtyard, another brilliant idea flashed in his mind,
"I've got it!"
Monkey King smiled mischievously, already forming a plan in his heart.
Afterward,
He stood up, put the Golden Cudgel back behind his ear, glanced at the many corpses on the ground, and said in a seemingly casual tone:
"Oh dear- It's such a waste to leave these people lying around. I didn't get enough to eat just now, and I'm still hungry. Why not use them as food instead!"
At these words,
Both the old man and Tang Xuanzang were horrified.
This monkey… actually eats people?
The next moment.
They saw the monkey open his mouth several feet wide, an invisible suction force appeared, sucking all the corpses in the courtyard into his mouth.
Chomp-
It was as smooth as slurping noodles.
"Hehe-" Monkey King's eyes twinkled mischievously.
As a practitioner of the spiritual air, he naturally couldn't eat people. His actions were just an eye-deceiving technique. In reality, these corpses had already been turned into ash.
As for the previous comments about "cannibalism", they were intentionally said to scare Tang Xuanzang and make him expel Monkey King from his teacher's gate.
What happened next was as Monkey King had expected.
Seeing the monkey commit such an act as eating dead people in front of him,
Tang Xuanzang could no longer stand it..

"You obstinate monkey, such behavior makes you unworthy to stay in the Shimen, and even less deserving to be my disciple, you… go away!"
"Ah..go?" Monkey King is straining to hold back his laughter, stretching his monkey face, pretending to ask in confusion.
"Go back to wherever you came from, go!"
Tang Xuanzang's face shows anger as he waves his robe, emphasizing again that the other should leave.
Seeing this.
"Pu-chi-hehe, okay okay, I'll go, but remember it was you who asked me to go!"
The Monkey King could no longer hold back, his face broke into a wide smile, then he bowed to the old man, before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
At this moment.
In the courtyard, only Tang Xuanzang, the old man, and his grandson were left.
Seeing that the monk is driving away his lifesaver, the old man is also furious, immediately picking up the broom in the corner.
"You confused monk, I don't welcome you here, go away- go away quickly!"
As he spoke.
The old man swung the broom in his hand towards Tang Xuanzang's head.
"Oh no-"
Tang Xuanzang cried out in pain, not caring about anything else, rolled up his trouser legs, and ran out of the courtyard.
However.
No one noticed.
A Bodhisattva, holding a bamboo basket, stepping on a shattered lotus platform, and wearing a white sand robe, sighed as she watched in the direction Sun Wukong had gone.
"Alas, there is that dreadful Master of the Primordial Beginning out there, and this obstinate monkey inside, why is this journey to fetch the scriptures so difficult!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked worried, her heart was full of resentment.
Yes.
As the person in charge of the Journey to the West, naturally, she needs to protect Tang Xuanzang, who just left the Tang Dynasty, in the dark.
However.
The difficulty at hand is nothing, what really makes her worry is what lies after this test… the journey to Black Wind Country.
"Huff-"
Guanyin couldn't help but shudder. It was because she remembered the last time. She was blasted by the Master of the Primordial Beginning, and she was severely injured.
Even the 'sheep fat jade cleansing bottle' that was originally used as her trademark was destroyed in that incident.
Thinking of this.
She could not help but glance at the bamboo basket in her hand, the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she was. However, she only had this object now, which was better than being empty-handed.
"Forget it, I'll first catch that Monkey King, lest it delays the grand cause of fetching the scriptures."
Guanyin shook her head with a sigh, then swiped the bamboo basket forward. It tore the space apart, then she teleported towards the Flower and Fruit Mountain.
Let's not talk about the possible stories between the scripture-fetching duo and Guanyin.
Let's look at the other side.
Black Wind Mountain.
The inner hall of the Taichu Dojo.
It has been exactly one month since he last entered the game.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the futon. As he swallowed clouds and exhaled mist, the space around him transformed and distorted, as if he had fallen into some extraordinary state.
After a long while.
"Exhale-"
Xuanqing suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
He looked at his own body with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Epiphany!
Just now, when he took the last Chaos Extreme Yin Pill, it seemed as if he felt some unknown power. Then, he inexplicably had an epiphany.
A large amount of comprehension of the 'Yin Space Rule' appeared out of nowhere, and he absorbed it all like a dry sponge.
Thinking of this.
"Open Character Panel!"
[Name: Xuanqing
[Physique: Chaos Morality Holy Body.
[Grade: Master of the Primordial Beginning
[Cultivation: Yin-Yang Realms (Yin 30.7%, Yang 6.5%)
[Cultivation Method: Unknown
[Divine Ability: Spatial Array Dao (Great Achievement), Fate Dragon Control Chapter (x), Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts (Perfection),
[Ingots: Z,E
Under the Character Panel, the progress in Cultivation has made a sudden surge from twenty percent to thirty point seven percent, due to the 'Yin Space Rule'.
"With seven elixirs, based on their original effect, it would only increase to twenty-three point five percent, but now it directly reached over thirty percent."
"It seems… the extra part should be the result of this epiphany."
Xuanqing was even more surprised.
What a powerful fellow.
This epiphany added a hard seven percent, which is equivalent to twelve Chaos Extreme Yin Pills.
If converted into Incense Fire Ingots, this would have saved a whopping one hundred and twenty million incense fire ingots in one fell swoop.
Not only that.
Aside from the progress in cultivation level.
In the "[Divine Ability]" section, while there are no changes in other divine abilities, 'Spatial Array Dao' has surprisingly advanced from the minor accomplishments to the Great Achievement level.
"Let's see what changes this spatial array Dao at Great Achievement Level brings!" Xuanqing thought to himself silently, then closed his eyes.
He began to conceptualize the rules of 'space' in his mind, especially how to manifest and aggregate space rules into the form of an array.
Moments later.
As Xuanqing opened his eyes, his heart was filled with joy.
"This Spatial Array Dao at the Great Achievement Level is so mysterious, it can actually utilize the spatial principles to open up a whole new independent mini-world."
He never expected it.
This Spatial Array Dao, simply advanced from minor accomplishment to Great Achievement, and the change was so dramatic. It has evolved from creating a simple teleportation array to something at a level that can open up a new world.
"With a master world as the foundation, using the power of Yin Space Rule to open up an independent mini-world…"
"Wonderful… truly wonderful… it is beyond description!"
Xuanqing couldn't help but praise.
At this moment.
Even with his calm demeanor, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, picturing what it would be like if he could have this kind of epiphany several times.
However, in reality.
The further one goes, the more difficult epiphanies become. More precisely… later in cultivation, every moment is spent in a state of epiphany.
Under such circumstances, if one wishes to significantly improve his cultivation through an epiphany, as he did in the earlier stages, he will need to have an epiphany within an epiphany., a double epiphany.
So., that Xuanqing was able to have a large increase in his cultivation in the Yin-Yang realms, similar to an epiphany, was already an earth-shattering matter in the Three Realms.
If this became known to the outside world, I'm afraid there would be another legend about the Master of the Primordial Beginning added in the Three Realms.
"Now that the Spatial Array Dao has reached Great Achievement, I can start opening the Earthly Path in the real world." Xuanqing pondered silently.
Originally.
He thought that to open up a mini-world, it would at least require the Yin Space Rule to reach Perfection, or the Spatial Array Dao to reach Perfection.
But he never thought that after one enlightenment, the Spatial Array Dao would reach Great Achievement and acquire the ability to open up a mini-world.
With this, some of the plans in the real world can naturally be carried out ahead of schedule.
With this thought in mind.
"Exit the game." Xuanqing murmured to himself.
Real World, Water Blue Star Qingping Temple.
Xuanqing opened his eyes, reviving from the game world.
Spending a month in the game world in Closed-door Cultivation, he consumed elixirs and experienced an epiphany, which pushed his cultivation progress in the Yin Space rule up to thirty percent, and also advanced the spatial array Dao to the Great Achievement Level.
But in the real world… only three days have passed.
This rate of cultivation progress, if widely known, could potentially shock many people. Who could imagine that a being in the Yin-Yang realms would be able to make such progress, increasing ten percent in just three short days?
"All of you, hurry to Qingping Mountain!"
Xuanqing dispersed his divine soul and transmitted his voice to all the people in the TaijiHall.
After two hours.
Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Yang Ying, Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu, the five senior figures of the Taiji Hall, gathered in the inner courtyard of Qingping Temple.
"Greetings, temple master!"
Everyone bowed saluting in unison.
"Hmm."
Xuanqing slightly nodded his head, then said in a deep voice: "During my recent cultivation, I've made some gains. I'm planning to open up a small Earthly Path world, named… the Netherworld!"
Upon hearing this.
Everyone's spirits were uplifted.
Especially Huai Qingyun, he is extremely excited, because Sir had told him that once the Netherworld is opened, he would be allowed to be the Underworld King of Hell, governing the entire Netherworld.

375 Chapter 300: Disaster, miserable days!
Translator: 549690339
Xuanqing looked at everyone and continued to speak: "At that time…the world will change drastically, especially in the coastal areas. You must be mentally prepared and maintain peace and order in the mundane world."
"I won't interfere with other places, but in Great Yan Kingdom, I do not wish to see any chaos happen."
Hearing this.
Everyone straightened their bodies and declared their determination, saying: "Please rest assured, palace lord, we will uphold the order in Great Yan Kingdom."
"That's good!"
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
He was still very confident in his followers in the real world, even the child Huai Qingyun, who had made great progress in handling matters after so much training.
"Go and prepare, two days later at midnight during the half-moon, I will open up the Netherworld and establish the authority of heaven and earth City God deities."
"Yes, we bid farewell!" The crowd bowed and took their leave.
Just as Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu were about to leave, they were suddenly stopped by their master.
"Qingyun, Qingyu, both of you stay."
Xuanqing instructed the two.
The two hesitated for a moment, then stopped and came back.
After Elder Jingde and the others left, only Huai Qingyun, Cang Qingyu, and Xuanqing were left in the inner courtyard.
"Qjngyun, I told you before that after opening the earthly path, I will let you assume the authority of Yama, control the Netherworld, and take responsibility for the reincarnation of all living beings after death."
Xuanqing spoke.
As the words fell.
He waved the whisk in his hand, shooting out a green light towards Huai Qingyun's forehead.
Upon seeing this.
Huai Qingyun's heart jumped.
Before he could react, he felt a surge of vast information suddenly appearing in his mind, and the content of the information was actually 'daily life of Yama of Hell.'
"You just digest it for now, and when you take up the position of Yama in the future, don't cause trouble for me."
In the midst of it all.
Huai Qingyun seemed to hear his master's voice in his head, but soon after, he was overwhelmed by the vast information that struck him, not daring to be distracted. He quickly closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged, striving to digest it.
At this point.
After passing on the information to Huai Qingyun, Xuanqing no longer concerned himself with him and turned his gaze to Cang Qingyu.
"Qingyu, when I open the earthly path, I will tear apart the space of Water Blue Star, so don't resist. After the Netherworld is opened, call upon the power of origin to stabilize it!"
"Yes, sir!" Cang Qingyu nodded in agreement.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel glad for making the wise decision to follow his master.
If he hadn't sided with his master, when the earthly path was opening, he would be in a miserable state, even if the master could forcefully open it without his cooperation. As Water Blue Star's heavenly and earthly rules were created by him, forcefully creating them would lead to a tragic end for him, even if it didn't kill him, he would lose most of his vitality.
Two days later.
At midnight, when the Yin energy was at its strongest, everything was in a dim grey haze, even the moonlight seemed unable to receive the heat from the sun, making the light extremely dim.
In the inner courtyard of Qingping Temple.
"It's time."
Xuanqing looked at the sky.
At this time, the Yin attribute rule had reached its peak, while the Yang attribute rule was suppressed to the extreme.
It's worth mentioning that.
Even the Star Country on the other side of the ocean, still in daylight, followed this rule because it wasn't determined by day or night, but by the time and climate.
After that.
Xuanqing waved the whisk in his hand.
Zi La~
As space was torn apart, he stepped into the spatial rift and soon found himself deep within a blazing, lava-filled space.
Deep within the earth's core.
That's right.
He was going to open the Netherworld deep within the core of Water Blue Star.
"First, let's open up the Netherworld space." Xuanqing looked around and already had an idea in his heart.
Soon after.
With a thought.
A bronze cauldron filled with a sense of antiquity and countless mysterious runes emerged in this lava-filled space.
Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace (Fake)
This cauldron was what Xuanqing had exchanged from the Game Mall for a hundred thousand merits, which was equivalent to a full one hundred million incense offerings.
To open up space, one needs a high-grade treasure that can suppress the origin, allowing the newly-opened space to stabilize.
As for why… they didn't use the fused and upgraded Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace, but the half-step chaos-level fake Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace…
Firstly, they didn't have enough incense, and the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace cost a whopping hundred and two billion.
Secondly… given the current size of Water Blue Star, the space that would be opened couldn't withstand the presence of a chaos-level magical treasure.
In summary, using the half-step chaos-level 'Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace (Fake)' as a suppressing object is the most suitable choice.
"Open the heavens!"
Xuanqing uttered a low shout and swung the whisk in his hand.
Zi La~
A huge spatial rift was forcibly torn apart, as the pressure difference between the real world and the rift allowed endless chaotic Qi to flood into the heart of Water Blue Star like a dam releasing floodwaters.
Seeing this.
Now is the time!!
376 Chapter 300: Disaster, miserable days! _2
Translator: 549690339
With a gleam in Xuanqing's eyes, he placed his hand on the Chaos Eight Diagrams Furnace (Imitation), and then roared with a fierce voice, "Suppress!"
Boom-
The very core of the Earth trembled slightly.
The huge motion generated energy, which reached the surface and stirred up a massive wave in the ocean, crushing everything in its path.
The coastal countries suffered greatly.
With current technology, even if a huge tsunami occurred, it could generally be predicted in advance.
However, this gigantic wave was not a natural phenomenon, but was caused by Xuanqing opening up a space deep in the Earth's core.
Among them,
an island nation… suffered the most.
Because they were located closest in proximity to the opening of Hell at the Earth's core, and as a coastal country, it only doubled their misfortune.
"Help! Why has this huge tsunami suddenly appeared?"
"What's happening with the meteorological bureau? Why was there no warning?"
"It's over…"
Some people were in despair, some swearing; no matter how much technology ordinary people developed, when facing a disaster like this, there was no chance to fight back.
Apart from this island country,
The coastal cities of the neighboring Great Yan Kingdom were also somewhat affected.
However,
From the very beginning, Xuanqing had instructed Elder Jingde, Yang Ying, and others to lead the subordinate Qi refiners and gods to prepare in advance for a heavenly and earthly fusion in the coastal areas.
Coconut Island.
On an undeveloped beachside area,
The nighttime beach was very peaceful, except for the sound of waves breaking on the shore, there were no other sounds.
On this quiet beach, a faint light could be seen twinkling on the sand a short distance away, particularly evident in the dark night.
A young man, with his trouser legs rolled up, wearing a distinctive round felt hat, was seen holding a bucket.
This young man was called 'Old Zhou'. He was a fisherman who had been out at sea for half a year and only returned home the day before.
Bored and unable to sleep in the middle of the night, he started his other old profession, live-streaming his beach combing!
Yes,
Old Zhou had two jobs, his main job was to go out sailing on big ships, and when he returned to rest, he would live-stream his beach-combing on the internet. Both of these had quite good incomes.
At this moment,
Old Zhou was wearing a round felt hat on his head.
Due to it being nighttime, in addition to a searchlight tied on his hat, there was also a night vision camera attached. It was connected by a cable to the phone in his pocket.
"Old Zhou with the beach combing streaming only plays it real. After half a year at sea, now returning to my hometown, tonight I'll take you all for a stroll on the nighttime local beach."
"Look guys, there's a hole here… it definitely has…"
While speaking…
The youth called Old Zhou first adjusted the angle of the searchlight and the camera, then bent down and started digging around the hole in front of him. From his experience, without a doubt, this hole was a goldmine.
However,
At this moment, the ground slightly trembled.
"Huh… Did the ground just shake?" Old Zhou paused in his digging, as someone who spent most of his time combing the beach, he had a very keen sense of any disasters at sea.
Something was wrong,
Old Zhou suddenly stood up.
The scene he saw next left him dumbstruck, he even questioned whether he was dreaming or not.
Huge waves.
Waves at least dozens of meters high, almost like ghosts, suddenly appeared beside him. Under the luminance of the lighthouse, even in the dark night, it was very clear.
A tsunami!!
However,
The scene that shocked Old Zhou, even making him doubt whether he was dreaming or not, was not this tsunami. After all, as a man who spent many years by the sea, he had experienced many tsunamis of all sizes.
What he found unbelievable was…
Hovering above the gigantic wave, there were ten Taoists dressed in Taoist robes with their sleeves fluttering in the wind.
The reason he could see so clearly was that these ten Taoists were all enveloped in a dazzling blue light, pooled together, which clearly accentuated their figures.
"Br…Brothers, look, there… there are immortals…"
Old Zhou trembled as he adjusted the camera, aiming it at the scene he was seeing in the sky.
However,
The barrage in his live streaming room almost made him laugh.
"Pfft, our host is so unworldly, these Taoist priests are obviously cultivators."
"Immortals, there's only one immortal, the Main God Taichu."
"But… These cultivators are so powerful, they can actually float in mid-air."
"Guys above, aren't you getting off-topic? Isn't the focus that gigantic wave?"
The barrage was dense, very many.
In regards to the scene that Old Zhou saw, the live streaming audience found it very surprising, but no one lost their composure.
Now,
In the Great Yan Territories, although the number of cultivators was not high, every village… would have one or two cultivators.
After all, Xuanqing's requirement was that in the territory of the Great Yan Country, there should be a Taoist temple in every 'town', covering all the people.
Also, in this day and age, who doesn't experience an ailment or two?
Once sick, going to a hospital or taking medicine is not as comforting as going to a Taoist temple, where the Taoist Priest could use his mysterious talismans to cure you instantly.
"Breaking News, I have a friend at the meteorological bureau, he heard that there have been unusual movements deep within the Southeast Asian region, the whole coastal area of Asia has suffered a disaster, I heard that the smaller island nations are…"

Translator: 549690339
Due to the character limit of the barrage, the message this netizen was sending abruptly ended here.
This moment.
Old Zhou was dumbfounded.
How… how had the world become completely unrecognizable after just one trip out to sea?
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall his father's words about how the Great Yan Kingdom had undergone earth-shaking changes in the last half a year, and how he should go out and see more of the world.
"Could one of you brothers please explain what has happened to the world, and what exactly is a cultivator? The people in the sky… aren't they immortals?" "I, Old Zhou, have been out to sea for most of the year and have just returned. My father told me that there have been significant changes in the Great Yan Kingdom recently. How significant are these changes?"
The old man posed a series of questions to the camera.
At these words.
The netizens finally recalled that Old Zhou, who had been out catching seafood, had just mentioned that he had only recently returned from sea.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The Great Yan Kingdom had undergone dramatic changes, yet it was only in the last half a year that cultivation had become commonplace. It was reasonable that the streamer didn't know of this. Thus.
Some warm-hearted netizens began to explain.
Netizen ID Distant Poetry: "Half a year ago, the Daoist announced that anyone who had offered incense for a hundred days in a Taoist temple, or had devout belief, could practice cultivation…"
Netizen ID Mine is Bigger than Yours: "The person above is correct, but I'll also add that although all cultivators are like martial arts experts now, only Heavenly Master Jingde and Heavenly Master Qianqing from the Taoist sect can fly in the sky like we just saw…"
Netizen ID Hands in Pocket Rustling: "That's right, not only cultivators but also free medical care. Now every town has a Taoist temple. It's amazing, with those talismans, a single swipe can cure you."
As he listened to the words of the netizens.
Old Zhou looked utterly bewildered. He even felt as though these netizens were trying to deceive him.
Regardless, those immortals… no, Daoist priests, flying in the sky were truly appearing right before his eyes.
At this moment, Old Zhou was still in a daze.
The many netizens began to urge him on.
"Streamer, stop daydreaming. Aim the camera at those Daoist priests quickly."
"That's right, that's right. Such a rare opportunity, you can't just daydream."
Swoosh ~
A few rocket rewards appeared.
"Oh, okay, okay. I'll aim it right now." Old Zhou snapped back into reality, hurriedly aiming his helmet at the sky.
On the screen.
In the face of the giant wave.
Ten youths in Taoist robes, each holding a jade talisman, released an even brighter light. The light converged and combined into a several hundred meter tall floating dust illusion.
Whoosh-
In one swipe, the once formidable wave was instantly scattered into a sky filled with water droplets.
This scene.
Shocked the netizens in the live streaming room and even brought in a larger crowd as the news spread.
"Hiss… these Daoists are really powerful. I think even ancient immortals couldn't do much better."
"Newcomer seeking advice, are there any senior cultivators in the streaming room that could explain what level these Daoist priests have cultivated to?" "Let me tell you, they're at least Nascent Souls."
"The person above, don't spout nonsense. Nascent Soul and the like are all lies. The current cultivation levels are Qi Introduction, Refining Essence into Qi…" "Wow, I'm envious. Can someone tell me how to become a cultivator?"
Leaving aside the buzzing outside world.
Meanwhile, in the Earth's Core.
Seeing that the space had stabilized, Xuanqing began the next step… creating the Samsara passage!
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 301: Earthly Path Established!
Translator: 549690339
The so-called reincarnation passage.
It is the core of the Netherworld and possesses the ability to bestow souls with spirituality, transforming them into new beings.
The reincarnation passage is involved in the operation rules of Water Blue Star…"
Xuanqing's divine soul radiates outward, covering Cang Qingyu's body, and speaks solemnly, "Do not resist, I am about to establish the reincarnation!" Far away, on the ground in Qjngping Temple.
As Cang Qjngyu, who was waiting with Huai Qjngyun, felt a huge divine soul enveloping him and heard the words in his mind… he knew that Sir was watching him.
"Yes, Sir!" Cang Qingyu nodded earnestly.
On the side.
Huai Qjngyun, who witnessed this scene, was also looking forward with anticipation.
Here.
At the Earth's Core, Xuanqing took action after receiving a reply.
With a single step, his entire body instantly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappears, he had arrived in a barren space.
Xuanqing looks around.
The entire space is filled with gray, a large amount of Chaotic Qi mixed with Journey to the West World's Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, and the forces of space distortion.
If it were not for the Chaos Eight Trigrams Furnace (Fake) suppressing the deepest part of this space, such space would probably shatter into dust in an instant.
"This… is the space I've created!"
A smile emerges on Xuanqing's face.
He is quite satisfied with the space he has created. Although it is temporarily chaotic, the space is large enough and will slowly stabilize once the Hell is established.
Next.
It's time to establish the reincarnation passage.
With a thought.
Xuanqing takes out a palm-sized, black and white stone from the Game Backpack, which is called:
Reincarnation Stone!
Long ago, in order to create the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Ways in the Real World, he had already made many preparations. This Reincarnation Stone is one of them and is the main material used to build the reincarnation passage. "Go!" Xuanqing shouted softly, throwing the Reincarnation Stone in his hand into mid-air.
Buzz-
The next moment.
The black and white Reincarnation Stone radiates two different colors of light – 'black' and 'white' – in mid-air, and it rapidly distorts, forming a pattern resembling a Yin Yang fish.
It grew larger.
The original palm-sized Reincarnation Stone expanded rapidly with the continuous rotation of the pattern.
One meter… five meters… ten meters… a hundred meters… a thousand meters… ten thousand meters!
In the end.
This small Reincarnation Stone had actually expanded to a height of ten thousand meters and was swiftly divided into six, forming different colored gates.
"Water Blue Star only needs Human Path and Beast Road!"
Looking at the gates hovering in the air, each ten thousand meters high, Xuanqing muttered softly.
The next moment.
He waved the whisk in his hand, transforming it into four rays of light, which shot towards the six gates, specifically at four of them.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise.
Four of the gates collapsed and shattered under the power of the whisk, eventually turning into specks of light that were absorbed by the remaining two gates.
In this way… out of the original six gates, only two were left, representing…human and beast paths.
Seeing that the time was right.
Xuanqing immediately used the Yin Space Rule to connect with the space of the Water Blue Star, then suddenly shouted loudly:
"Two reincarnation paths…establish!"
As his voice fell.
In an instant.
All living beings on Water Blue Star seemed to have a sudden realization, and couldn't help but lower their heads to look at the ground beneath their feet, as if something deep underground was attracting them.
At the same time.
Cang Qjngyun, who was in Qjngping Temple, felt a sudden pain in his heart.
Squirt-
A mouthful of golden blood spurted out, startling Huai Qjngyun who was beside him. He anxiously asked, "Taoist brother Qjngyu, what's wrong with you?" Upon hearing this.
Cang Qjngyu waved his hand, took a deep breath to adjust himself, and casually explained, "Sir is establishing the Earthly Path, and just now he was also setting up the reincarnation."
As the incarnation of the Heaven and Earth rules on Water Blue Star, all the plants and animals on the planet, as well as the source of all living beings, are the sources of his strength.
Naturally.
With the establishment of the reincarnation passage, it means that all living beings on Water Blue Star… will not dissipate into the Heaven and Earth as their original source after death, but will return to Hell.
Counted down… this is forcibly plundering the power of living beings from the rules of Water Blue Star, which is why Cang Qjngyu vomited blood.
"Fortunately, I have already joined Sir's forces. Although I'm suffering a bit now, as long as I wait for Sir to establish the Heavenly Path and let me serve as Emperor Haotian, it will be far stronger than now."
Cang Qjngyu looked at the sky, thinking secretly.
Although he is now the incarnation of Water Blue Star's Heaven and Earth rules, the things he can do on a daily basis are very limited.
At most… he can control the forces of nature, cause tsunamis, volcanoes, and at most, when a meteorite passes by Water Blue Star, catch it as a stone-throwing means.
However, once he achieves the status of Emperor Haotian, things will be different. At that time… with the authority of Heavenly Court, various divine power techniques will be at his disposal, just like immortals.
In summary.
Establishing the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Paths on Water Blue Star may not be good for him in the short term, but in the long run, it would raise his limit.
In the Earth's Core… more precisely, it should be the Netherworld of Water Blue Star.
With the establishment of the Human and Beast reincarnation paths, the previously chaotic and turbid Netherworld instantly becomes much more stable.

Chapter 301: Earthly Path Establishing!—1
Translator: 549690339
"Now that the Place of Samsara is in place, next is Nine Nether Huangquan."
Xuanqing muttered softly.
The Land of Darkness he created on Blue Star was built following the layout of the Hell in the World of Journey to the West.
The Nine Nether Springs gradually gush out from the Place of Samsara, producing three rivers, and then divide into two of the most representative rivers.
One named River of Oblivion, one named Naihe River, the River of Oblivion encircles the Place of Samsara, and the Naihe River encircles Fengdu City.
Moreover,
Different buildings were built beside the two rivers.
The Oblivion Stone was set up by the River of Oblivion where one could have the last glimpse of the mortal world.
And the famous 'Naihe Bridge' was built over Naihe River, used to distinguish good and evil souls. Only good souls could pass the bridge while evil ones would fall into the river and suffer the torment of the River Naihe's water washing over them.
"The Nine Nether Springs in Journey to the West World were transformed from the physical body of Saint Houtu, an existence that cannot be duplicated."
"But on this Blue Star, there is no need for such a high-ranking place. Weak Water combined with Formation can substitute it."
Xuanqing's eyes were shining with a gleam.
Indeed,
He had already planned all these, the only reason he hadn't done it was that he was waiting for his Cultivation to improve, so as to gain the ability to open up space.
After that,
He swung his right hand and took out a bowl-like copper vat from the Game Backpack, its shape is quite similar to the one of the Lord of Water Virtue.
However, this item and the Lord of Water Virtue's bowl, are essentially the same thing, but this item was bought by Xuanqing from the Game Mall, costing him a full 50 million Ingots, equating to the price of half of a Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Not only the Lord of Water Virtue's water control bowl, all the same as the Fire Virtue Lord's fire control flag, Wind Lady's wind bag, etc.
As long as they had been to his banquet and their magic treasures had names, they were basically borrowed to be uploaded to the Mall.
"Today, I will use this Three Thousand Weak Water to replace Nine Nether Huangquan!"
With a low shout, Xuanqing offered the water-control bowl in his hand that was filled with weak water.
"Go!"
In an instant,
The bowl suspended in the air tilted, and the turbulent weak water gushed out from it, flowing around the Place of Samsara, branching into two.
Half of it turned into Naihe River, and the other half into the River of Oblivion.
Whoo~
The cold wind howled.
Even though it hadn't absorbed a soul yet, just based on the characteristics of the two rivers, it was already enough to send chills down people's spines.
Next,
"Oblivion Stone!"
"Naihe Bridge!"
An endless amount of materials was taken out from the Game Backpack by Xuanqing and made into support equipment like the Oblivion Stone and Naihe Bridge.
"Now, it's the main buildings of the Netherworld…the Eighteen Layers of Hell, the Judgment Hall, the Palace of King Yama."
"However, the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the Journey to the West not only use the law of space, but also the law of time. A thousand years in Hell equals one day in the human world. I don't have such a divine power yet."
Xuanqing thought to himself.
However,
He was building this Earthly Path to gain control of the origin of the Blue Star and to provide a pathway for the souls of humans after they die.
"Never mind, we don't need these Eighteen Layers of Hell, all will be determined by the laws of the mortal world. Any person sentenced to death… will be cast into the Beast Road!"
Xuanqing shook his head, not thinking about these anymore.
Apart from the Eighteen Layers of Hell, it's much easier to handle the remaining Judgment Hall and Palace of King Yama. To put it bluntly, they are just some buildings with harder texture built with the Yin Rule.
"Judgment Hall… rise!"
"Palace of King Yama… rise!"
Xuanqing swung his Duster, directly mobilizing the power of the entire space. Like a creator, he conjured countless buildings out of thin air.
These buildings were originally illusory, but as the power of the entire space continued to pour in, they began to solidify.
In fact,
It is quite similar to the characteristics of the Netherworld under the Black Wind Array and the Domain of the City God in the beginning. The stability of the buildings depends on the stability of the space.
At that time, if Xuanqing hadn't annihilated Elder Jinchi, and reopened the Place of Samsara, allowing the City God to earn a minimum guarantee and giving him a lot of power from incense, the City God would probably have vanished completely, along with the Domain of City God.
"Whew!"
Xuanqing exhaled deeply.
This continuous manipulation of the Yin Rule was somewhat strenuous for him, who only mastered thirty percent of the Yin Rule.
"The main framework of this Netherworld is ready, the detailed filler will be left to Huai Qingyun, the Underworld King of Hell."
Xuanqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking this way in his heart.
If he were to complete the Hell, he wouldn't have time to practice in the future. There would be enough work from the City Gods from all over the place and countless ghost officials, as well as candidates for various functional departments.
"Back to QingpingMountain first!"
Before leaving,
Xuanqing took one last look at the Netherworld he had created, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he finally relaxed.
Then.
With a swipe of his whisk, he tore through the space and took a step towards Qingping Mountain.
Qingping Mountain.
Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu were standing dazedly.
Suddenly.
A ripple in space jolted them out of their trance, knowing it was Sir's return.
Sure enough.
The next moment, they saw Sir emerge from the void.
"Sir!"
"Sir!" the two exclaimed in unison.
"Hmm."
Xuanqing slightly nodded, arrived at the side of Huai Qingyun, then flipped his palm over, revealing a token exuding an aura of the Netherworld.
"Qingyun, this is the Yama Order. Imprint your god soul into it, and the Earthly Path of the Water Blue Star will be established."
"Oh~"
Huai Qingyun nodded, took the token from Sir's hand, and immediately sat down, attaching his God Soul according to Sir's instructions.
Humming'
A chill emanated from Huai Qingyun's body.
The Yama Order in his hand emitted a strange eerie blue glow, the locust tree itself is of yin nature, coupled with the Netherworld Yin Qi, it was almost overwhelmingly strong.
Even Cang Qingyu standing nearby couldn't bear it, stepped back a few paces, and looked astonished at his young companion.
It was unknown how much time passed.
Huai Qingyun leisurely came back to his senses.
He looked at Sir beside him and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why is there nothing in this Netherworld?"
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing chuckled lightly and casually said, "This Netherworld was just created, everything needs to be started from scratch. I presume you have refined the Yama Order and know how to improve Hell."
Saying this.
Xuanqing moved to his young disciple, gently patted his head a few times, and softly said, "Qingyun, you are the disciple Sir values the most. The path of the Earthly Road of the Water Blue Star… I entrust it to you."
Hearing this.
Suddenly.
Huai Qingyun's eyes reddened slightly, yes… Sir has always valued him so much, how could he be disheartened by these small difficulties?
With this thought in his heart.
"Rest assured Sir, I won't let you down!" Huai Qingyun confidently said.
"Haha, good, a true child of mine."
Xuanqing laughed heartily, his heart full of comfort.
Then.
He turned his gaze to Cang Qingyu standing beside him, and instructed, "Qingyu, in the future, you will be the Emperor Haotian of the Water Blue Star, support each other with Qingyun, the Netherworld King of Hell. Remember to support each other regularly."
"If necessary, you can use the rules of Heaven and Earth to assist him, understand?"
"Yes, Sir, I understand." Cang Qingyu nodded.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing waved at the two, "Okay, you two go get busy, I need to rest for a while."
"Yes, Sir, we bid you farewell."
Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu bowed, and then turned into a black and white breeze, disappearing into the courtyard.
Watching the two depart.
Xuanqing lightly shook his head with a smile.
To be honest.
He didn't expect that Cang Qingyu, the Incarnation of Heaven and Earth Rules, would actually get along well with his little disciple Huai Qingyun, who is an enlightened locust tree.
But on second thought..
Right!
In the Real World, Yang Ying, Elder Jingde and others are humans, only they two are spirits.
Oh right, there are some river gods conferred before, but that old turtle likes to sleep, and sleeps so soundly that gradually, it couldn't play with Huai Qingyun anymore.
Just when Xuanqing was deep in thought.
Suddenly.
A mechanical alert sounded in his mind.
[Warm reminder: There is a message from the Game World, do you want to receive the message?]
Report chapter Comments
380 Chapter 302: The Future Buddha of Shimen.. The Smiling Maitreya!
Translator: 549690339
[Warm reminder: There is a message from the Game World, do you want to receive it?]
Hearing the prompt in his mind.
Xuanqing was slightly taken aback, then silently recited in his heart.
"Receive!"
At the next moment.
A piece of information entered his mind, and the content of the information made his expression on his face somewhat strange.
Tang Xuanzang…has been caught!
Monkey King…also has been caught!
That's right.
The content of the message was about Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King being arrested by the Government Office of the Black Wind Country because they violated the "Illegal Religious Dissemination Crime".
You must know.
Ever since Xuanqing destroyed Elder Jinchi, he set the tone for the Land of Black Wind, which is absolutely not allowing Buddhism to grow here.
Co-incidentally.
After Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King came to the Black Wind Country, they were full of Amitabha, constantly saying "Poor monk, poor monk". If the Government Office didn't arrest them… who would they arrest?
Initially.
Black Wind Country didn't take it seriously. After arresting Tang Xuanzang, they directly sentenced him to Lifetime Labor.
This regulation was set by Xuanqing himself. In his opinion, what use is a monk who doesn't work, doesn't get married and have children, and only thinks about worshipping Buddha all day?
And those monks, aren't they the ones who like to recite mercy and enlighten people?
Then go work, use your hardworking hands to create value in a down-to-earth way, isn't that better than chanting and eating vegetarian meals?
As the ultimate boss of Black Wind Country, Xuanqing's thoughts are the policies and correct thoughts of Black Wind Country.
So.
Over the years… many monks have been arrested, even some who accidentally crossed the borders of Tang Dynasty have been arrested in large numbers.
However, things are gradually getting out of hand.
This monk has a big background, first, the three Dharma protectors of Shimen actually came directly to the outskirts of the Imperial City to meet Qingwan, the queen of Black Wind Country, and wanted to intercede.
Qingwan, who has been following Sir for so long, naturally knows that the thing Sir dislikes the most is Shimen. Even the Arhats of Shimen have been fought and killed.
Of course… Qingwan directly refused.
Later, things got even bigger. The Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin from Shimen actually came to Black Wind Country together, again to intercede for Tang Xuanzang.
As it turns out.
Queen Qingwan of Black Wind Country also felt that things were getting out of hand. Although her own Sir didn't like Shimen, this had now reached the higher-ups of Shimen. She felt that she couldn't mess around, otherwise she would cause trouble for her Sir, and that would be troublesome.
Eventually.
Qingwan, Gentleman Bai She, Black Bear Essence, Bai Ling'er, and others discussed and unanimously decided to send a message to their Sir to see what he thought.
"Sigh, I didn't expect the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada to finally embark on the Journey to the West."
Xuanqing murmured quietly.
He still remembers that the ninth reincarnation of Tang Xuanzang was messed up by him. In the end, the God Soul stayed in Black Wind Country and was given the name "Dao Xuan", leaving only the True Spirit of the Golden Cicada.
In a strict sense, the life of Dao Xuan should not be counted in the number of reincarnations since it was cut off, so does that mean Tang Xuanzang…is actually still the ninth reincarnation?
"I'm afraid that Guanyin, together with Maitreya Buddha, came to Black Wind to prevent me from using my self-explosion method again, right?"
Suddenly.
Xuanqing's mind flashed back to the scene of the last explosion, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
It seems… even Guanyin is afraid and doesn't dare to come alone, so she has called for Maitreya Buddha, who is the "Future Buddha."
"Forget it, let's go meet this future Buddha of Shimen."
Xuanqing chuckled.
Before entering the game, he first covered his God Soul and sent messages to Yang Ying, Elder Jingde, and others, saying that he was going to have a secluded period, and the development of Taiji Hall would continue according to the original plan.
After doing all this.
With a thought.
"Enter the game!"
Game World.
Black Wind Country.
On a construction site, dozens of prisoners dressed in special striped clothing were either mixing cement or carrying steel bars.
On the side.
There were also several soldiers wearing stomach armor and holding long swords to guard.
Among these prisoners, there were two very special beings, one with a hairy face resembling a monkey and the other a handsome-looking, though bald, monk.
Speaking of it.
The Black Wind Country hasn't caught any new monk prisoners for a long time. After all, monks aren't stupid. Monks have been disappearing in Black Wind Country for a while, and sometimes messages about the extermination of Buddhism in Black Wind Country are spread by trade teams.
Gradually, no monks dared to pass through Black Wind Country anymore.
"Amit…"
Having just finished mixing the cement, Tang Xuanzang wiped the sweat from his forehead and subconsciously prepared to recite a Buddhist mantra, but remembering his situation, he quickly retracted it.
"Hehe~ As I see it, our teacher and student are going to work here for a lifetime!"
Monkey King, who was skillfully curling steel bars next to him, said gleefully.
The reason for this situation is none other than the golden hoop on Monkey King's head. Whoever is forced to wear this thing by Guanyin would be limited to an ordinary person and would not have a good mood.
"Wukong… you…" Tang Xuanzang wanted to refute, but seeing the fully armed soldiers around him, he finally swallowed his words.
Buddha… when will such days end? Could it be as Wukong said, would we really have to spend our entire lives here?
Thinking of the recent trial at the Judgment Bureau of Zen Destruction City's Government Office and the final sentence of Lifetime Labor…

Translator: 549690339
Tang Xuanzang felt a deep sense of despair in his heart.
Just at this moment.
Clop-clop-clop- Clop-clop-clop.
The sound of horse hooves approach, as a group of more than ten people on horseback charged forward – among them was a guard, holding a golden imperial edict in his hand.
"Tang Xuanzang, receive the decree! By the order of Her Majesty the Empress, you are to go to the Black Wind City for trial immediately!" The guard read the decree out loud.
Meanwhile, the nearby soldiers exchanged glances, never expecting such an unassuming monk to attract the personal command of the Empress.
So…
A soldier stepped forward cautiously and said, "Please wait a moment, envoy. I will report to our leader."
This commotion…
Attracted the attention of the other prisoners watching, all of them very surprised at the high profile of these two newcomers.
Tang Xuanzang almost wept for joy.
"Wukong, it seems that the people from Shimen are coming to save me," Tang Xuanzang put down his work, tugging at Sun Wukong beside him as he spoke.
He was not a fool. He had sensed that his journey to fetch the scriptures might not be as simple as it seemed from the many times Guanyin had appeared to protect him.
Humph!
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and ignored Tang Xuanzang. It hadn't been long since he had been forced to wear the golden hoop, and he was still quite upset about it.
After a while…
The manager of the construction camp arrived and, after confirming the authenticity of the decree, waved at Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong.
"Hey, you two monks come over here! Follow this envoy and the chiefs to the Black Wind Imperial City to meet your fate!"
Black Wind Imperial City.
In the study.
A chessboard was placed on a desk, the black and white pieces occupying the board. A man and a woman sat on either side of the board.
The woman wore a black dragon robe, her head adorned with a purple-gold crown, and there was a regal aura around her dignified appearance.
The man wore a Taoist robe and cloth shoes, his long black hair tied casually behind him, and a faintly glowing duster tied around his waist.
These two players, Xuanqing and his young disciple Qingwan, were immersed in their game.
Gazing at Qingxu, who vaguely resembled the young Fat Ya from the past…
For a moment…
Xuanqing was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.
He hadn't expected that the little girl who used to run around with a runny nose, tugging at his sleeve asking about Peppa Pig, was now the prestigious Empress.
Time flies in cultivation, what used to be a blink of an eye has now turned into the ebb and flow of a lifetime.
The memories of the past with Fat Ya still lingered vividly in his mind, as if it all happened just yesterday.
"Sir… it's your turn to play," Qingwan reminded him.
Hmm?
Xuanqing snapped out of his reverie, shaking his head with a light chuckle.
Once people grow old, the sight of familiar faces and things from the past will inadvertently sink them into nostalgia.
"Fat Ya, in these years, I have been wholeheartedly practicing and have somewhat neglected you," said Xuanqing, his voice filled with regret.
At those words…
Qingwan's body shuddered.
Especially upon hearing the familiar name 'Fat Ya', which she hadn't heard in a long, long time.
However…
As she had taken the position of Empress, she knew very well that what Xuanqing needed was a capable subordinate who could provide assistance, not a little girl who could only whine and act spoiled.
With this in mind…
Qingwan took a deep breath and lowered her head, murmuring: "Sir, don't worry too much. Fat… Qingwan… I'm very happy to have found my own path too!"
Just as the atmosphere had become somewhat delicate…
"Report! Convict monk Tang Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty and Sun Wukong have been brought here!" A guard's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Cough-cough."
Qingwan coughed lightly, waving her hand at the guard and commanding, "Let Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong in!"
Outside the imperial study…
Tang Xuanzang looked anxious, his fingers constantly rubbing his monk's robe. He felt that the journey to fetch the scriptures was extremely difficult.
He had barely left the Tang Empire when he had encountered bandits and watched his disciple, bestowed by Guanyin, turn on him before being imprisoned by Black Wind City. It was like being born with no luck, only to face death head-on.
"Tang Xuanzang, Her Majesty the Empress summons you to meet her." The guard who had been walking not far from the Imperial Study Room approached Tang Xuanzang and spoke.
Tang Xuanzang did not dare to delay and quickly pulled the sleeve of Sun Wukong, "Wukong, let's go, don't make Her Majesty wait too long."
"Hehe-"
Sun Wukong chuckled softly and shrugged his shoulders without saying anything.
The two entered the room.
Before their eyes… was an Empress dressed in a black gold-trimmed dragon robe, wearing a purple-gold crown, looking dignified and noble, just like a Heavenly Emperor.
At the side of this noble empress was a young Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe, wearing cloth shoes, and with a glowing duster hanging from his waist.
"The poor monk…pays respects to Your Majesty."
Tang Xuanzang's attention was completely drawn by the aura of the Black Wind Empress. As soon as he saw her, he immediately knelt down and respectfully performed a grand ceremony.
According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, in most cases, there was no need for a kowtow ceremony. Only the people of Shimen, who always claimed that all beings were equal, would perform such kowtow rituals time and time again, which could be considered extremely hypocritical.
On the other hand, Sun Wukong's attention was entirely attracted by Xuanqing. He just felt that this Taoist priest… seemed somehow familiar.
"This Taoist priest…why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"
Sun Wukong's eyes rolled around, but inside his mind, he began to recall where he had seen this Taoist priest.
Suddenly.
His eyes widened, and he remembered.
"You are…the Taoist priest who was killed by those Jiedi decades ago?" Sun Wukong exclaimed, unable to contain his words.
As soon as his words came out.
Qingwan was first taken aback, then became furious.
This furry-faced monkey-like monk was not only ugly, but also dared to be rude to her master.
"How dare you, you furry-faced monkey-mouthed Sun Wukong, speak wildly against the Master of the Primordial Beginning? Or do you want to be suppressed again in the Black Wind Country for another five hundred years?"
Qingwan's face was as cold as frost, and her voice was icy.
Seeing this.
Tang Xuanzang's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly at the monkey who had brought upon misfortune. It was bad enough that he was arrogant and reckless outside, but why did he have to act this way in front of Her Majesty?
Now it was over. He had angered the Empress, how could he continue fetching the scriptures?
"Wukong, don't you quickly apologise to the…Master…" Tang Xuanzang scolded angrily but couldn't recall the title of the Daoist master that the Empress had mentioned earlier.
"Hehe, Master, the Master of the Primordial Beginning!" Sun Wukong scratched his chest and reminded him with a smile.
"You…"
Tang Xuanzang pointed at Sun Wukong with trembling fingers, almost choking with anger.
At this moment.
Watching the farce in the Imperial Study Room.
Xuanqing seemed completely unconcerned, and he didn't even glance at Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong. Instead, he looked towards the beams of the room.
"Master, this monkey is arrogant and unruly. In my opinion, perhaps we should…"
"Alright, what he said isn't wrong. I was indeed killed by the Jiedi from Shimen…more than once."
Xuanqing waved his hand, interrupting Qingwan's words.
Then.
"Hehe-"
He gave a faint smile and bowed to the room beams, "The revered Future Buddha of Shimen, the Great Compassionate Guanyin, condescends to visit my humble Black Wind Country, why do you hide your head and show your tail?" Upon hearing this.
Uh??
Tang Xuanzang, who had been scolding his disobedient disciple, Qingwan, who was planning to deal with Sun Wukong, and even Sun Wukong himself, were all stunned, not understanding why the Master of the Primordial Beginning spoke such inexplicable words.
However.
Then they understood the meaning of the Master of the Primordial Beginning's words.
Ommm-
A sacred Sanskrit chant sounded, accompanied by a golden lotus in the air…
Plop- The sound stopped abruptly!
The golden lotus that had just appeared shattered like a bubble, and the sacred Sanskrit chant disappeared instantaneously as if someone had pulled the plug.
"Plop-"
Xuanqing sneered and said indifferently, "Don't bother with such theatrics in my presence."
As his words fell.
A laughing Buddha appeared on the beam of the Imperial Study Room, wearing a loose golden kasaya, exposing his chest and sporting a big belly.
Following that.
Guanyin reluctantly revealed herself beside the Laughing Buddha.

Chapter 303: If I explode myself again, will you still be able to laugh?
Translator: 549690339
"Paying respects to Master of the Primordial Beginning!"
"Paying respects to Master of the Primordial Beginning!"
Maitreya Buddha's smile was a bit stiff, and Guanyin standing beside him looked extremely embarrassed.
When they revealed themselves just now, they subconsciously used some special effects according to Shimen's way of making an entrance, only to find that the Master of the Primordial Beginning didn't show them any respect.
At this moment.
Qingwan was incredibly surprised when she saw Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin. No wonder her Sir kept staring at the room beam earlier.
At the same time, she looked down on Shimen even more. Having stepped into the cultivation world for many years, she naturally knew the status of Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin in Shimen.
But she never expected that these two would have the nerve to hide up on the room beam after pleading their case earlier.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! I thought only thieves would climb up on the room beam, never imagined the Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva would too!"
Monkey King covered his stomach and rolled on the ground, his face full of ridicule.
Of all the people in Shimen, whom did he resent the most?
Besides Tathagata, who had suppressed him under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years, it was none other than the hypocritical and insincere Guanyin, who even forced the golden hoop on him.
Not too long ago, he successfully enraged Tang Xuanzang, the monk, and got himself kicked out of the sect. Just as he thought he could finally live a carefree life…
He was intercepted by Guanyin halfway through his flight and beaten up before having the golden hoop forcibly placed on his head.
Hearing Monkey King's laughter,
Tang Xuanzang finally reacted. He knelt on the ground, shouting loudly, "Disciple Xuanzang, pays his respects to Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
"HmPh~ " Monkey King glanced at Tang Xuanzang who was on the ground and sneered with disdain.
Leaving aside the drama between Tang Xuanzang, Maitreya Buddha, and the others.
At this moment,
Guanyin and Maitreya Buddha simply nodded their heads in response to Tang Xuanzang's salute, then shifted their gazes toward the Master of the Primordial Beginning.
Master of the Primordial Beginning, you must know that the matter of Journey to the West is of great importance. We hope that you can release Tang Xuanzang and his disciples, let them pass through the Black Wind Country, and continue their journey to the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and fetch the Scriptures!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said softly.
As soon as these words were spoken.
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing squinted his eyes, sizing up Guanyin, especially the broken lotus platform beneath her and the bamboo basket magic tool in her hand.
Guanyin, do you want to taste the blooming fireworks again?"
"You…"
Guanyin was slightly taken aback, recalling her last memory, her body shuddered involuntarily.
Off to the side,
Maitreya Buddha's expression didn't look too good either.
He had come to support Guanyin Bodhisattva on this trip, but the Master of the Primordial Beginning showed no respect at all.
With that in mind, he was blunt, not even addressing the Master of the Primordial Beginning, and directly called out his name.
"Daoist Xuanqing, detaining Tang Xuanzang in Black Wind Country is of no benefit to either Taoism or Buddhism. Why bother committing such a harmful and self-destructive act?" Maitreya Buddha said with a stiff smile.
However,
Before Xuanqing could speak,
Monkey King jumped out again, looking at Maitreya Buddha's stiff smile and mocking him, "You chubby monk, if you can't laugh, don't force it. It looks so awful."
"Pfft~"
At these words,
Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh. His gaze towards Monkey King became much friendlier. As far as he was concerned, anyone who didn't get along with Shimen was a friend of Xuanqing.
"You cheeky monkey- "
Guanyin glanced at Maitreya Buddha, whose face was even stiffer, and immediately explained, "The Future Buddha Maitreya has a joyful image of all beings. He takes away the suffering of all beings. No matter what happens, he always looks like this."
Upon hearing this,
Maitreya Buddha agreed and nodded. He practiced the Happy Laughing Face Path to always remain cheerful, no matter how much suffering he endured inside.
However… Xuanqing's next words made Guanyin's face even more embarrassed, and Maitreya Buddha's smile stiffened even more.
"Maitreya Buddha, I'm curious, if you had to bear my self-detonation…"
Xuanqing raised his eyebrows and paused for a few seconds before continuing with great interest:
"I wonder if you would still be able to laugh?"
At these words,
Maitreya Buddha's mouth twitched slightly as he touched his stomach. He then took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Daoist Xuanqing, I wonder what it would take for you…to let Tang Xuanzang continue his journey to the West to fetch the Scriptures?"
After hearing this,
Xuanqing didn't answer, but simply looked at Maitreya Buddha with a smile, just like the expression on the other's face.
To tell the truth,
Ever since he had fallen out with Guanyin and Shimen, he had been expecting this day to come.
Originally,
Xuanqing thought that if the other party spoke some soft words, he might not make things difficult for them, considering the situation with Journey to the West which involved not only Shimen but also Taoism and his own teacher.
However, these two came in with a high moral ground, even using public opinion to pressure him. This attitude was very unsettling. As the saying goes… asking for help should have a humble approach!
At this moment.
Seeing Daoist Xuanqing's expression,
Either Guanyin or Maitreya Buddha knew in their hearts that this matter could not be resolved through mere words; they must pay a practical price.
With this in mind,
Guanyin Bodhisattva began, "Master of the Primordial Beginning, it was indeed the poor monk who made a mistake in the matter before. I am willing to make compensation for this."

Chapter 303: If I explode myself again, will you still be able to laugh?_2
Translator. 549690339
While speaking.
She took out several light groups with golden glows from her hand-held bamboo basket.
As soon as the light groups appeared.
In an instant.
A wave of divine thoughts of sentient beings filled the entire Imperial Study Room; these light groups were actually condensed and formed from concentrated incense, sharing an ingenious similarity to the Gathering Qi
Beads.
"These incenses… are ten times more than what I, the poor monk, gave you before. Isn't it enough to represent my sincerity?"
Guanyin looked confident and said casually.
In her opinion, she had faced Daoist Xuanqing several times before; although she had suffered losses each time, they were resolved by compensating with some incense belief.
This time… the incense she compensated was ten times more than before; even if Daoist Xuanqing was greedy, he should be satisfied, right?
But, to her surprise, things often went against her wishes.
"That's it?"
Xuanqing then shook his head with a faint smile.
These incense fires in the light group would have been a considerable sum for
him in the past.
However, for him now… with a daily income of more than six hundred million, approaching seven hundred million, it's not worth mentioning. Even if he threw it on the ground, he would be too lazy to pick it up.
What a pity that Guanyin was so confident; she acted as if these incenses were some kind of treasure.
Just this?
Hearing this…
Guanyin frowned slightly, but thinking about the Journey to the West, which was related to the rise of Buddhism, she was in charge of the entire journey.
So… she waved her right hand and took out several more light groups.
"Daoist Xuanqing, now… should it be enough?" Guanyin Bodhisattva said solemnly.
Upon hearing this
Xuanqing was speechless.
After thinking about it,
He whispered in his heart, "Exchange for one hundred million incense fire!"
[Ding…-IE Ingot]
As the ingots decreased, countless Gathering Qi Beads appeared in his game backpack. Each bead contained a dense and pure incense fire.
Whoosh ~
With a wave of Xuanqing's right hand, he took out the one hundred million incenses from the game backpack and casually piled them on the ground.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, if you need incense, I can lend you some."
In that instant,
Guanyin was stunned.
Maitreya Buddha was also stunned.
Their eyes looked at the Gathering Qi Beads casually piled in the corner, feeling the rich and pure power of incense fire inside them…
???
This…this?
Guanyin's face turned red, and she felt so embarrassed that she could dig a
Lingxiao Bao Hall with her toes.
The other party casually took out hundreds of millions of incense fires, while she searched for more than twenty million and regarded them as treasures.
Comparing the two, she seemed like a clown.
Under such circumstances,
Finally,
The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face froze. Although it was just a momentary change, everyone in the Imperial Study Room, except for Tang Xuanzang, a mortal, had extraordinary cultivation, and they all caught this subtle change.
Xuanqing showed a playful smile.
It seemed that there was no need to use a self-destruct on Maitreya Buddha; just such humiliation was enough to change his expression. Tsk, tsk…
No wonder Guanyin and Maitreya Buddha lost their composure.
You should know,
Since the ancient war, Shimen, which established the Buddha Court, has become the most significant force besides the Heavenly Court in the Three Realms.
In the Three Realms, only their Shimen bullied others; no one else has ever bullied their Shimen.
Such a sudden role switch, they couldn't adapt to it for a while, which was understandable.
"Huh-"
Guanyin took a deep breath, withdrew all the light groups back into the bamboo basket, and didn't mention the incense fire compensation anymore; otherwise, it would only humiliate herself further.
"Master of the Primordial Beginning, I'm at a loss this time. I don't know what
I should do so you would be willing to open up Black Wind Country and let Tang Xuanzang go on his Journey to the West to fetch the scriptures?"
As the old saying goes, those who understand the times are great men, or perhaps… one cannot help but bow when under someone else's roof. Faced with Daoist Xuanqing now, Guanyin has no choice but to compromise.
This moment.
Hearing Guanyin's words of compromise.
Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King were both astonished. They never expected that the high and mighty Guanyin Bodhisattva would actually have a day of compromise.
Especially Tang Xuanzang. In his heart, the great compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves people from disasters and hardships, could never be wrong and could never compromise with anyone.
"It seems that the Master of the Primordial Beginning is quite an impressive personage," Monkey King thought to himself, his eyes spinning around in their sockets.
After being suppressed for five hundred years, the Monkey King's arrogance had subsided. He was no longer the ignorant and conceited person who thought he was second only to the sky and placed himself on the same level as it.
Now, though still proud at heart, his pride had settled down, and he had become quite cunning.
At this moment.
Daoist Xuanqing ponders for a brief moment.
He really didn't know what demands to make right now.
After all.
In the impoverished land of the Journey to the West, even the top leaders of Shimen, such as the past Buddha Burning Lamp, the present Buddha Tathagata, and the Future Buddha Maitreya, had very few magic treasures in their hands.
Not to mention anything else.
just looking at Maitreya Buddha, his kasaya is plain and ordinary. Only his copper coins in his hand and the human seed bag around his waist are barely worth looking at, but they are not at the Chaos Level, not even Half-step Chaos Level.
In plain words…Shimen is too poor.
Daoist Xuanqing thought for a long time and finally came up with something that might be worth his attention.
"To be honest, you Shimen don't have much that I, a humble Daoist, would be interested in, but the previous actions of Guanyin towards me can't be ignored."
"So… I ask you for a person. If you are willing to hand that person over to me, I will no longer block the Western Journey. If you don't…"
"Hehe- " Daoist Xuanqing chuckled coldly and said indifferently, "Then your Shimen may have to wait until eleven lifetimes later to fetch the Golden Cicada!"
Hearing these words.
Guanyin's heart skipped a beat, and she had a faint sense of unease.
As expected.
The other party's next words made her feel even worse.
"The person I am asking for is… the Third Prince of the West Sea, Ao Lie!"
Ao Lie?
"Impossible!"
Guanyin's face suddenly changed, and without hesitation rejected this demand, "Anything but that! Ao Lie is a predetermined force in the Western Journey. How can we give him to you?"
For Shimen, if they really gave Ao Lie away, the Journey to the West would not be able to continue, because Ao Lie was chosen by Heaven and Earth as a Doomsday Person, and even one of the main characters in the Journey to the West during the Doomsday.
So… giving Ao Lie away would mean no Journey to the West, but if they did not give him away, there is still a glimmer of hope if they wait until the eleventh life of the Golden Cicada.
Under such circumstances, the choice is clear!
However.
Guanyin quickly realized that since the other party had brought up the conditions, it meant that there was room for negotiation.
The reason for proposing Ao Lie was most likely an attempt to make an outlandish request, one that would be rejected, and then make a less outrageous request, making it easier to achieve their true goal.
With this thought in mind.
"Huff-"
Guanyin suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke in a melancholic tone, "Daoist Xuanqing, you are a smart man. Just say what your real intentions are!" For some reason.
Usually, no matter what happened, the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who could always accept it calmly, would always get so easily angered when facing Daoist Xuanqing, as if something was clouding her God Soul.
"Hehe-"
Daoist Xuanqing chuckled lightly again and said indifferently, "Alright, since it's like that, this humble Daoist will no longer conceal his intentions." "Ao Lie… This humble Daoist still wants him, but… after the Journey to the West is over, even the Heavenly Merit in his body can be extracted by you Shimen, then give him to me."
As these words came out.
Guanyin still felt uncertain, so she looked at Maitreya Buddha standing beside her.
After all, in Shimen's calculation, Ao Lie, who had been baptized by Heavenly Merit, had great potential. They planned to seal him in the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions and use him to guard the gates of Ling Mountain at the end.
However.
Compared to previously simply asking Ao Lie to be taken away, it didn't seem as difficult to accept now.

Tsk tsk~ As expected.
Sometimes, it can be more effective to first pose an excessive demand and then reveal one's true purpose.
At this moment.
He noticed the questioning gaze from Guanyin.
Maitreya Buddha clasped his hands together, chanted a sutra, then slightly nodded to indicate the other party could agree.
Seeing this.
Guanyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice to Xuanqing: "Master of the Primordial Beginning, on behalf of Shimen, I accept your request. After the Westward Journey is completed, I will hand over Ao Lie to you."
"Hehe, good."
Xuanqing laughed and nodded, then waved his hand to Qingwan, instructing
"My dear, now that Guanyin Bodhisattva and Maitreya Buddha from the Shimen have pleaded for mercy, you can remove the charges against Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King and set a date for their release."
"However…."
Originally.
Upon hearing they were to be granted passage, Guanyin and Maitreya felt relieved, expecting a happy resolution, despite the turbulence they had faced.
But hearing the word "however" had their hearts hanging by a thread, cursing inwardly, wondering what tricks Xuanqing was playing now.
"However, while the lifetime of hard labor is spared, we cannot let them leave so easily; otherwise, where does it leave the laws of the Black Wind Country?" Xuanqing's voice was calm.
Hearing this.
Guanyin couldn't stand it anymore, saying: "Master of the Primordial
Beginning, are you reneging on your word?"
Xuanqing shook his head.
"I promised to let them pass, and I will let them pass, but… first, they must volunteer for five years in the Black Wind Country!"
Volunteer?
Guanyin paused lightly, what did he mean by that?
Immediately afterward,
she heard him continue: "By volunteer, I mean to voluntarily serve the people in order to do good deeds, and accumulate merits."
Five years…
It cannot be denied.
This amount of time was just on the cusp of their acceptability. Any longer and they would never agree, however, it was exactly five years.
Guanyin showed hesitation on her face, not knowing if she should agree.
However,
just when she was hesitating, Tang Xuanzang took the initiative to step forward. He understood the predicaments facing his buddha and bodhisattva as their disciple, if there was something he could do, he should share their burden.
"Bodhisattva, the Buddha said: If it is able to transform the world, why don't I
go to hell… besides, it is a good thing…"
Tang Xuanzang's clear eyes carried an air of purity, as he firmly said, "I am willing to be a volunteer in the Black Wind Country for five years."
Alright then.
Seeing the main character himself speaking, what else could Guanyin and Maitreya Buddha say? They had no choice but to nod and agree to these terms.
However.
Guanyin still had a vague feeling of unease, but she simply warned him:
Tang Xuanzang, you have a wholehearted zeal for the Buddha, I hope you remember your responsibility to fetch the scriptures while you spend five years in the Black Wind Country!"
"Amitabha, I dare not forget your words of wisdom, Bodhisattva!" Tang Xuanzang bowed respectfully to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then to Maitreya Buddha.
When Tang Xuanzang lifted his head again, he found that the Imperial Study
Room was empty of the bodhisattva and Maitreya Buddha, leaving only him and the Monkey King, as well as the Empress of the Black Wind Country and the Master of the Primordial Beginning.
Having concluded matters,
Xuanqing waved to Qingwan, instructing her, "Qingwan, regarding Tang
Xuanzang's volunteering, you can leave it to Dao Xuan to handle."
"Yes, sir," Qingwan stood up, bowed, and then watched her own master leave.
The next day.
In a double-bed dormitory,
Tang Xuanzang woke up, groped his way to the toilet, and after taking care of his business, fully woke up.
"Master, you're awake!"
Monkey King, however, was already up earlier. More precisely, he had never gone to sleep, as he did not need it.
Then,
He pulled open the curtain.
swoosh-
Bright sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the simple single-room layout complete with a Simmons bed, a pressed wood wardrobe and other furnishings.
"Amitabha, people living in Black Wind Country are truly fortunate, I unknowingly slept till sunrise."
Tang Xuanzang looked at the sky outside, clasped his hands together and muttered a few words in praise.
It was just too comfortable.
Previously, he had been detained in prison, sleeping on the cold cement floor, but now, he was sleeping on a soft Simmons bed.
"Hehe- If Master, you find it so comfortable, why not just stay in Black Wind country and be an ordinary citizen? Why bother fetching any scriptures?" The Monkey King scratched his chest, teasingly.
At this moment, he was in a very good mood, particularly considering Guanyin's sour expression yesterday along with Maitreya's frozen smile, making him even more cheerful.
"Wukong, there you go again with your absurd talks!"
Tang Xuanzang gave him a stem look, admonishing him absentmindedly.
"It's no longer early, I wonder if there's still breakfast. Wukong… go out and see if you can find something vegetarian for me."
Okay, stay here and don't move. I will be back soon." Monkey King nodded and then pushed the door to go out.
Even though the Monkey King was displeased with Shimen, he was straightforward… a monkey, by nature. Of course, he would not vent his anger on Tang Xuanzang.
Watching Monkey King's departing figure,
Tang Xuanzang sat on the sofa, absent-mindedly caressing the soft materials. He pressed down lightly and the sofa gave away, once he released his hand, it bounced back immediately..

Translator: 549690339
Apart from the prison, everything in the Black Wind Country made him feel curious. He couldn't believe that there was such a magical country in this world.
"This disciple of mine, aside from being murderous, is quite decent."
Tang Xuanzang laid on the sofa, thinking about how all this time, the Monkey King had been taking care of his meals and daily life, and he couldn't help but sigh in retrospect.
It was at this moment.
Suddenly!
Knock-knock knock.
There was a knocking sound coming from the direction of the door.
"Is he back so soon? Or is there no food?"
He thought to himself.
Tang Xuanzang stood up and walked over to open the door, but the scene that greeted his eyes was not what he had imagined.
He saw a Taoist, wearing a Taoist robe, with a handsome face and clear,
gem-like eyes, standing at the door.
"Monkey King… Eh… Sir Daoist, may I ask?" Tang Xuanzang initially thought it was his disciple, but then he reacted and hastily took back his words.
"Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, you must be Tang Xuanzang, right?" Dao Xuan looked Tang Xuanzang up and down, especially at the other's head. Although it was covered with a hat, one could tell at a glance that he was bald. For some reason.
When he saw Tang Xuanzang, his heart unexpectedly had a kind of… a very strange feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Amitab… Uh, I am Tang Xuanzang, may I ask what you need me for?"
Tang Xuanzang instinctively wanted to chant a Buddhist name, but considering this was Black Wind Country, he hurriedly took back his words. "You are a monk?"
Dao Xuan was slightly taken aback.
He wasn't stupid, and before becoming a Taoist, he had been a monk himself, and even a monk who went to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures.
Although the other party had just uttered the word "Amita", combined with the deliberately wrapped and hidden bald head, the characteristics were very clear. This was a monk.
"I… I am a monk, I tell no lies. I come from the Eastern Great Tang, and I want to go to…"
"Go to Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures?" Dao Xuan smiled slightly, interrupting Tang Xuanzang and directly saying the last part. "Ah… you?" Tang Xuanzang was confused, wondering how the Taoist knew that.
"Hehe!"
Dao Xuan chuckled lightly, but didn't explain himself.
However.
In his heart, he roughly understood why his master had suddenly sent him a message yesterday, asking him to take care of two people called Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King.
It turned out…Tang Xuanzang was also the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, and even the person designated by the Shimon to fetch the scriptures in his later life.
No wonder, no wonder that when he saw Tang Xuanzang for the first time, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him before.
"Tang Xuanzang, I am the palace master of the Black Wind State Taoist Palace… Dao Xuan, responsible for the world's Taoist practitioners' training. Hmm… the Volunteer System also belongs to the Taoist Palace."
"By the way, you should have another person with you, where is Monkey King?" Dao Xuan asked in a deep voice.
"My disciple went to…"
Click-
Just as Tang Xuanzang was about to explain, the door was pushed open again, and he saw Monkey King holding a bowl of porridge, coming in.
"Master, come to drink porridge!" Monkey King called out, and then saw Dao Xuan beside Tang Xuanzang.
He put the porridge on the table, and with a single leap, he landed between the two men, his eyes rolling around and scanning both of them repeatedly.
"Eyes of the Fire Golden Gaze!"
Monkey King's eyes shone brightly as he carefully scrutinized Dao Xuan, walking around the two several times.
Upon seeing this.
Tang Xuanzang was confused by his disciple's actions and couldn't help but ask, "Wukong… what are you doing?"
"Hehe, Master, I didn't expect you to have a relative in Black Wind Country who is a Taoist!" Monkey King scratched his head and cheek, grinning with a hehe. "Wukong, you're talking nonsense again."
Tang Xuanzang shook his head helplessly. It seemed that his disciple was not only murderous but also liked to talk nonsense.
He was too lazy to bother with Monkey King, and instead looked at Dao Xuan, introducing him:
"Palace Master, this is my disciple, Monkey King. What are we supposed to do next?"
"Nothing much, just fill in a form, so that I can know what the two of you can do, and then arrange for volunteer work." Dao Xuan slightly bowed and took out two forms and two ink pens from his arms.
Upon hearing this.
Tang Xuanzang nodded, took the two forms, kept one for himself, and handed the other one to Sun Wukong beside him.
The man and the monkey began to read the information on their forms.
The content on the forms was quite straightforward, with fields such as name, gender, native place, hobbies, talents, etc.
The first part was easy, and both of them filled in the information truthfully according to themselves.
Name: Tang Xuanzang, male, fond of chanting scriptures and reading, good at… urn…
Tang Xuanzang got stuck at the 'good at' part. He originally wanted to write chanting scriptures and praying, but this was Black Wind Mountain, a place that extinguished Buddhism. Writing that here would be like rebelling, wouldn't it?
But besides chanting scriptures and prayers, he wasn't good at anything else.
Even his daily life required Sun Wukong's care.
It seemed that Dao Xuan could see Tang Xuanzang's embarrassment.
Dao Xuan advised, "Tang Xuanzang, if you don't have any particular skills, you can just put a cross in that column."
"Phew-"
Tang Xuanzang's face showed shame, and he silently recited Amitabha in his heart, but he had no choice. He couldn't think of any other talents besides being vegetarian and praying.
In the end, he could only put a cross in the 'good at' column on the form, as advised by the Taoist palace master.
While Tang Xuanzang was feeling embarrassed,
on the side,
Sun Wukong quickly filled out the form, although he also hesitated for a moment in the 'good at' column.
In the end, he remembered his first job… Stable Cleaner, so he wrote 'feeding horses' in the good at column.
At this moment,
Dao Xuan took a rough look at the forms of the two men and had a general idea of their situation. Then he said to them:
"You will stay here for two days. I will arrange the work for you according to the information you filled out."
"Alright, thank you, Daoist Master Dao Xuan."
Tang Xuanzang put his hands together in gratitude.
So,
Tang Xuanzang and his disciples stayed in the dormitory of Black Wind City Daoist Palace, waiting for Dao Xuan's arrangement.
Not to mention… these Simmons beds and sofas, 24-hour constant temperature bathrooms, and readily available meals… It was indeed a life free of worries.
At night,
All things were quiet, and a wisp of moonlight shone through the window, casting a silver frost on the ground.
"Huhuhu-"
Tang Xuanzang slept peacefully on the Simmons spring bed with a pillow under his head.
On the side,
Sun Wukong couldn't fall asleep, his hands placed behind his head, staring out the window with a dazed expression, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly,
His ears quivered slightly as if he had heard a secret message.
Looking at the sleeping Tang Xuanzang beside him, Sun Wukong got out of bed quietly, left the dormitory, and turned into a gust of wind, heading towards Black Wind Mountain.
Outside the Black Wind Mountain Taoist Temple,
Sun Wukong's eyes turned around as he looked around cautiously.
"Come in!"
Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Sun Wukong immediately became spirited and stepped into the temple.
Entering the room,
The one who appeared before his eyes was the Master of the Primordial Beginning, who had made Guanyin suffer a setback, had Maitreya Buddha's smile frozen, and possessed immense dignity.
This Daoist Master Xuanqing was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed, with a sword emitting faint light hanging at his waist, emitting an ethereal aura that made people feel ashamed when they looked at it.
"I pay my respects to Master of the Primordial Beginning. May I ask why you have summoned me in the middle of the night?" Sun Wukong cupped his hands and asked curiously.
Upon hearing that,
Xuanqing opened his eyes and looked up and down at Sun Wukong.
"Wukong, would you like to listen to a story from me?"

Chapter 305: Tang Xuanzang Turns Into a Wage Worker.
Translator: 549690339
Tell a story?
Upon hearing this, Monkey King furrowed his brows even further as his confusion grew.
What kind of story was this fellow going to tell? Why did he have to call him alone to the mountain?
"I'm all ears." Monkey King gestured with his hands.
"In the East Sheng Divine Continent, there was a Spirit Stone nurtured by Heaven and Earth. Over countless years, it absorbed the essence of Heaven and Earth, gradually developing a spirituality…"
Xuanqing stood up, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.
Following that, he combined various versions of Journey to the West and the actual situation in the Game World, telling the entire process of the Journey to the West with Monkey King as the main perspective.
At this moment, Monkey King's mouth gaped open, his eyes losing focus.
After hearing this explanation from the Master of the Primordial Beginning, he felt terrible. To think that, all along, he had been the clown, the fool that the whole Three Realms were laughing at.
The Shimen sect was like a puppet master for monkeys, and he was just a monkey being watched by the crowd. Yet, he had still proudly assumed the appearance of the Monkey King.
"I… in my view" Monkey King's lips trembled, trying to say something, but nothing came out.
After a long while, he said, "Thank you, Master of the Primordial Beginning."
Monkey King bowed deeply to him.
His heartfelt gratitude was genuine. Consider this: the whole Three Realms had been treating him like a monkey show, yet only the Master of the Primordial Beginning had informed him of the truth.
In such a situation, how could he not be grateful?
"There's no need to thank me. I quite admire your character when you charged into the Southern Heavenly Gate in a fit of anger, breaking the rules and bindings for freedom's sake."
"Moreover, Monkey King, although you have a mischievous disposition, you are loyal, upright, and grateful."
As he spoke, Xuanqing raised an eyebrow, interestedly asking, "I heard that not long ago, you killed several bandits and were expelled from the school by Tang Xuanzang. Is it to repay the kindness of the child who gave you the peach in the past?"
Upon hearing this, Monkey King gave an awkward smile, and, somewhat embarrassed, said, "Well, not entirely. I thought that by doing so, I could both repay the favor and return to Flower and Fruit Mountain to be carefree. It seemed to be the perfect arrangement."
"Hahaha, you're really the witty intelligent stone monkey!" Xuanqing laughed heartily, praising him.
Now, Monkey King might be arrogant and full of swagger, but he also had his wits about him. The only reason he had fallen into Tathagata's trap was because the entire Three Realms had been playing him from the start.
From the beginning, when the little monkeys urged him to become their king, to the passing of Old White Ape, to the monkeys urging him to wreak havoc in the East Sea, countless 'Oscar-worthy' actors had been taking part in this performance.
It was similar to the situation of the Truman Show. No matter how smart someone, they likely couldn't have done any better under these circumstances than Monkey King had.
After the laughter, Xuanqing's face suddenly turned serious, and he said, "Monkey King, I must say, I really admire you."
"If you were to join my Taichu Dao, I can guarantee that, in this world, none shall dare to humiliate you from Heaven to Earth. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, most people would have been overjoyed to learn that the master of a Dao Court thought so highly of them, and eagerly agreed.
However, Monkey King fell silent.
Then, he suddenly asked a very interesting question.
"May I ask, Master of the Primordial Beginning, do you know who was my teacher, the Bodhi Ancestor, and whether he had any connection with the Shimen sect?"
As the intelligent stone monkey among the four great Monkey Gods, his combat power might not have been the strongest, but he was undoubtedly the smartest one.
Xuanqing hadn't mentioned the Bodhi Ancestor previously, but from the subtle clues he had given, Monkey King had already deduced that his master, who had taught him his skills, was not simply teaching him for the sake of teaching. There was a high likelihood that he was connected to the Shimen sect as well.
Upon hearing this, Xuanqing looked at Monkey King with some surprise.
However, being at his level, he did whatever he pleased and had no intention of hiding anything from Monkey King. Since Monkey King had asked about it, Xuanqing would tell him directly.
"Your master, the Bodhi Ancestor, is none other than one of the Two Saints of the Shimen sect, Primordial Lord." Xuanqing said blandly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Monkey King's body trembled.
Despite his suspicions from before, hearing the truth out loud was like having his heart torn apart by a knife.
Especially upon discovering that the entire Three Realms were making a mockery of him, he experienced a pain that words could not convey.
Perhaps, in Monkey King's heart, the only family he had in the whole world were the other monkeys on Flower and Fruit Mountain, aside from his divine teacher.
Silence filled the main hall.
After a moment, Monkey King lifted his head, his eyes slightly reddened, and said in a somber voice, "Thank you for your kindness, Master of the Primordial Beginning. I still intend to protect Tang Seng on the Western Journey to Fetch the Scriptures, so as to repay the grace of my teacher, Bodhi Ancestor."
Hearing this, Xuanqing laughed.
In fact, Monkey King's answer was both surprising and reasonable.
It was surprising that even after enduring so much, Monkey King was still willing to repay the favor of his education by slavishly protecting Tang Seng on the Western Journey to Fetch the Scriptures, knowing that his own teacher, Bodhi Ancestor, was part of the Shimen sect.
It was reasonable because, by nature, Monkey King was a person who repaid even the smallest kindness with overwhelming gratitude. The incident of killing the bandits to repay the child was already taking things to such an extreme..
