One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 819 Erlang Arrives

Nezha was completely baffled by the opportunity that Hu Xiuwu mentioned, and his confidence in Hu Xiuwu was not as strong as that of Yongning Ji.

Bored, Nezha walked to the side and began to practice with his Fire-Tipped Spear, maintaining a state of breathing and absorbing spiritual energy. The Samadhi True Fire burned fiercely in his Jianggong acupoint, honing his martial arts and cultivating his magic.

Princess Yongning is still playing games with her "mother" in the courtyard today, drawing pictures together, and enjoying the joy of parent-child bonding.

Hu Xiuwu, meanwhile, accompanied Yongning Ji, teaching her how to use a paintbrush and mix dyes, while releasing the Earthly Fiend Qi.

Princess Yongning truly treated this life-threatening adventure as a picnic with her 'mother'.

An adventure in a wondrous place, bathed in warm sunshine, and filled with a city full of strange people who only know how to say "Amitabha".

The food here is delicious, but the air is always filled with an overpowering sandalwood aroma.

Also, 'Mom' doesn't let her spread her wings here and enjoy the fun of leaving the wind behind her.

And Spider isn't here, so I can't share my fun with her, which is a bit of a shame.

After Princess Yongning painted a picture for Hu Xiuwu that even he himself couldn't recognize.

Hu Xiuwu said to Yongning Ji, whose hands were covered in paint, "Go pack your things, we should leave here!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Yongning cheered, carefully put away her 'masterpiece,' and then went back to her room to tidy up the small stones and little 'treasures' she had collected over the past few days.

Although Nezha was brandishing his spear nearby, he had heard Hu Xiuwu's words. With his spear on his back, he walked to the painting table in front of Hu Xiuwu and asked:
"Can you go?"

Hu Xiuwu sat up from the wooden chair and stretched his limbs: "The opportunity I mentioned is about to appear in your life."

"You may not have noticed, but it's been quite lively outside lately."

Nezha exclaimed in surprise, "You actually know about the news outside of Mount Ling!"

His family was essentially protected and placed under house arrest by Buddha in the Eighth Buddha Kingdom, and Nezha himself knew the reason why.

During this time, Buddha must have already spread the news of Nezha's entrustment to him throughout the entire Three Realms.

If the shrimp soldiers in the river, the little wind spirits in the mountains, and the wandering cultivators in the human city didn't know these things, Nezha would be surprised.

Since the Buddha has made up his mind to damage the majesty of the Heavenly Court, he will certainly do so in the most extreme and devastating way.

In other words, the Ling Mountain and the Heavenly Court are probably now at odds.

Therefore, the Buddha placed Nezha's family in the Buddhist Kingdom of Mount Ling, both to protect them from assassination attempts by the Heavenly Court and to imprison them, ensuring that Nezha would not change his mind for any other reason.

At the same time, if Buddha wanted to use Nezha, he also needed to find something to hold against Nezha so that Nezha would not rebel against Mount Ling again.

So after this incident, Nezha should be able to leave Mount Ling and serve Buddha, but his mother and sister will probably have to stay on Mount Ling forever.

It's like the treatment the Purple Spider's family received in the Spider Cave in the Black Myth game.

This is the same as what Nezha had thought before. If he really joined the Ling Mountain, his mother and sister would only have this kind of ending.

Seeing Nezha's face growing redder and hotter, Hu Xiuwu knew he had guessed the truth, so he didn't keep him in suspense any longer:
"It's not complicated to find out what's going on outside Mount Ling. I know a ritual called 'Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing,' which was used by cultivators in the lower realms to contact their ancestors and immortals in the upper realms."

The "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Ritual" was created by the founder of the Shu Mountain sect in the world of Chinese Paladin. His original intention was to enable him to contact the Shu Mountain sect leader in the lower realm after he attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality, so as to provide convenience to Shu Mountain, such as information obtained from the immortal realm and some secret techniques of the immortal realm.

Hu Xiuwu obtained it from the Celestial Realm of Immortal Swords and modified it so that his subordinates could also use it.

"...This spell can disguise messages as prayers and blend them into the boundless faith and spiritual power of the Buddhist kingdom." Hu Xiuwu said, pointing to the faintly visible rainbow in the sky.

His intelligence was hidden within the rainbow, sent in through a wisp or a line of rainbow, following the direction of the Buddhist faith.

This method, aside from utilizing mysterious magic, is based on the same principle as how mortals hide a small dagger inside a fish's belly to evade search.

Just like a radio station hiding its signal channel among ordinary channels, true mastery lies in the tide.

"But this method has a drawback: he can only pass messages to me, I cannot send messages to him."

There are many raindrops flowing downstream, but not many rivers rising upstream.

The information transmitted by the "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Ritual" can be mixed into the daily torrent of faith.

However, very few messages travel out of Mount Ling. Buddha may not listen to every message from his bodhisattvas and arhats, but he knows which of his subordinates have sent messages out.

After hearing this, Nezha had only one comment: "Bold."

This assessment targets not only Hu Xiuwu's actions but also the Shushan Patriarch who created the "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Ritual" back then.

Nezha was unaware that the ritual was created by an outsider; he was only judging the matter based on his understanding of the Jade Emperor's style.

Unauthorized disclosure of matters concerning the celestial realm is punishable under the Heavenly Rules.

The "Heavenly Edict of the Chaotic Maiden" is also known as the Heavenly Code, and among the heavenly rules and regulations we refer to is one that states:
The celestial officials patrol the lower realms, and anyone who dares to leak even a fraction of heavenly secrets will be executed.

If even a single secret of heaven is revealed, the celestial official will be beheaded.

The immortal who invented the "Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Instrument" thought of directly opening a private communication route in the Heavenly Court.

Hu Xiuwu shrugged: "Anyway, later on, this sect rarely had the ability to contact their founder using [Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing]."

Nezha was even more surprised: "This sect can still exist?"

That's a truly hellish joke.

Hu Xiuwu shrugged, letting Nezha guess, and only talked about the situation outside: "I think you should have guessed it by now, how much of a shock the encounter of Angri Xingjun has caused to the Three Realms."

"The vast majority of the immortals petitioned the emperor to severely punish Kunlun Mountain and to dismember and destroy all the immortals and goddesses of the Kunlun Mountain lineage involved in this matter."

Simply put, it means that all those involved should be utterly terrified.

In fact, all the immortals knew who was behind this matter, but they didn't say it out loud to save face for the Jade Emperor and to protect his reputation.

It is possible to instruct the immortals of Kunlun Mountain to do such an outrageous thing.

Who else could it be but the Queen Mother of the West, the master of Kunlun Mountain?

"The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered Erlang Shen to capture you and bring you to justice."

"Guess where Erlang Shen is right now?"

Nezha exclaimed in surprise, "You don't mean my second brother is currently...?"

boom!
A muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the sky, and a slit piercing through the air, a white light, split from the west to the east, from the clear sky to the six directions.

The Buddhist kingdom has cracked open.
