I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 438: Seven Arrows Book, this monkey wouldn’t think of us as his parents?
West Kunlun

The fairy mountain Kunlun is beyond the mundane world.

There are many demons and immortals in the mountains, who absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, seize the fortune of heaven and earth, live long and are immortal.

The Nine Heavens, the Emperor's Capital, the Yuxu Palace, the Yaochi, the Tianyong City, the Qionghua Palace... countless bizarre and wonderful worlds have become part of this sacred mountain and the cornerstone of the entire Eastern mythology.

"Half of the immortals in the world originated from Kunlun. Back then, I hid my identity and pretended to be a guest of Kunlun. This cave is where I attained enlightenment and meditated."

Lu Ya personally poured tea for a Taoist with a white face and long beard: "This is a crude place, not even a fraction of the majestic Kunlun Yuxu. I'm sorry to have made fun of you, Daoist Fellow Shen."

"Your Highness is wrong! Although the Yuxu Palace looks beautiful on the outside, it is full of corruption. The old dog Nanji is always showing off his power."

"I feel uncomfortable when I see them. I feel much more comfortable here."

Shen Gongbao held up the tea with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. "Hahaha! I never thought that I, Shen Gongbao, would be able to drink tea brewed by the prince himself one day."

"Now that the human race is flourishing, our race's former glory has long since vanished."

Lu Ya's eyelids twitched slightly. "We have known each other for many years, so why not call each other fellow Taoists? The word 'prince' makes others laugh, so let's not mention it."

"Since the prince is unwilling to listen, I will change my words."

Shen Gongbao curled his lips and said, "Daoyou Lu has been dormant for thousands of years. Today, he suddenly came to me. What can I do for you?"

"In the past, in the Heavenly Palace, all of us, the demon saints and demon immortals, swore an oath before the Eastern Emperor to share honor and disgrace."

"All these years have passed. No matter what others think, I dare not break my promise."

Lu Ya smiled and said, "So the reason I invited you today was actually to vent my anger on Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Give me some vent?"

Shen Gongbao was stunned for a moment: "I'm afraid that fellow Daoist Lu has misunderstood. I became the disciple of the Jade Purity Sect Master Yuanshi Tianzun by chance. Nowadays, not many people in the Three Realms and Six Paths dare to cause trouble to me."

"Among the Three Realms and Six Paths, no one should dare to provoke you, Taoist friend."

Lu Ya smiled and said, "But what about within the Chan Sect?"

"Within the Chan Sect?"

Shen Gongbao was silent for a moment, his face gradually darkened: "What exactly do you want to say, Brother Lu?"

"Fellow Daoist Shen was originally a great demon who had attained the Tao. He has practiced Taoism in the Chan Sect for thousands of years and has long since attained the status of a demon fairy. He is probably no less capable than those Daluo immortals."

"I originally thought that Daoist Fellow Shen had accumulated a lot of experience and was already one of the most important figures in the Chan Sect. I have been secretly happy for you all these years."

"Who would have thought that I had met Yun Zhongzi recently? I learned that the Jade Purity Sect Leader was blind and did not even know how to use a talent like Fellow Daoist Shen. Instead, he let Jiang Ziya, a young boy, take over the high position."

Lu Ya's face was filled with anger: "You and I are both old people in the Heavenly Palace. Since I know that Fellow Daoist Shen is not living a happy life, how can I just sit back and watch?"

"Brother Lu is so righteous..."

Shen Gongbao was just a younger brother in the ancient demon court. He had few opportunities to interact with Lu Ya and didn't know much about his style of doing things.

Seeing Lu Ya's indignation, Shen Gongbao was quite moved: "I am judging others by my own standards."

"It's okay, we are all family, why bother about such trivial matters."

Lu Ya smiled and said, "Let's talk about Jiang Ziya."

"Humph! Jiang Ziya didn't stay in Kunlun for long. I'm just an acquaintance with him."

"But I think that man is good at flattery. I don't know what kind of magic potion he gave to the headmaster. Not only did the headmaster give him a lot of benefits and help him assist the Xiqi Zhou family, but he also asked us to call him 'senior brother'."

"By the way, when the head of the sect Tianzun left, he also specifically instructed that the old dog should take over the Chan Sect, and ordered us to obey his orders and deal with the catastrophe."

Shen Gongbao became more and more annoyed as he spoke: "Who the hell is that old Jiang? How dare he preside over such an important event? Don't you know that if one's virtue is not matched with his position, there will be disaster!"

"Oh? What are Fellow Daoist Shen's plans?"

"Humph! The head master thinks highly of that old dog and thinks that he can build the Ji family's kingdom for 800 years, but I just don't buy it."

Shen Gongbao gritted his teeth and said, "When the headmaster left, I planned to go against the trend and turn the tide to help Yin Shang defeat Xiqi, so that that old dog Jiang would be bitten by karma and abandoned by heaven and man. This would also let the headmaster understand that old dog Jiang is incompetent and unintelligent and can't be used for anything important."

"This... So this is what Fellow Daoist Shen is planning..."

Lu Ya was speechless for a while: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Shen has such a great mind and acts so majestically. Once he takes action, he will take the whole world into consideration."

"Alas. Fellow Daoist Lu is wrong. I hate that old dog Jiang to the core, and I can't wait that long."

Shen Gongbao sighed and said, "But Jiang Laogou is deeply trusted by the headmaster Tianzun. Now even the Wuji Xinghuang Flag is kept by him. This is the flag of the innate earth virtue, which is invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. I am really powerless, so I have to seek help from afar."

"Although the Wuji Xinghuang Banner is famous, it is not invulnerable to all attacks."

Lu Ya smiled and said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shen has ever heard of the Seven Arrows Book?"

"This is a supreme spell created by an ancient demon saint. I have heard a little about it, but I heard that this spell has long been lost... Hmm?"

Shen Gongbao suddenly realized: "Could it be that Daoist Brother Lu knows the whereabouts of this method?"

"Hahaha! If I didn't have this skill, how would I dare to come and look for you, fellow Taoist."

"Look, there is a talisman with incantations on it. You and I will use it to set up a ritual platform, light a sky lantern, and make two straw men. Write the names of Jiang Ziya and Lin Xuan on them, and worship them three times a day."

Lu Ya opened the flower basket and took out a scroll of talismans: "When the talismans are sealed and burned, the souls of these two people will be scattered and they will not be able to enter reincarnation. This great catastrophe is imminent, the way of heaven is in disorder, even a saint would not be able to understand the cause."

"So Easy?"

Shen Gongbao looked at the talisman carefully, with a strange light flashing in his eyes: "It seems that Jiang Laogou is unforgivable and deserves to end up like this."

"It's actually not that simple. Once you open this Seven Arrows Book, you can't leave without permission. And every time you visit it, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy."

Lu Ya smiled bitterly and said, "My magic power is weak to begin with. I have been depressed these years, and my cultivation has declined instead of improved. If it were not for this, I would not have bothered Daoist Shen to help."

"Brother Lu, don't underestimate yourself! I will leave this small matter to you."

Shen Gongbao hesitated for a moment and asked, "May I ask, Brother Lu, who is this Lin Xuan? Why have I never heard of him?"

"This person is just a casual cultivator with no special abilities. But he is full of tricks and has a high status in Xiqi. He has repeatedly ruined my plans."

Lu Ya added, "To be honest, Ji Fa's appointment of Jiang Ziya as Shangfu was made by this man."

"I see. No wonder I have never heard of this person's name."

"Hehe, the catastrophe is imminent, and a mere casual cultivator dares to get involved. He is really ignorant of the danger!"

Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "Since you don't like this man, I will get rid of him as well."

"Thank you, Brother Shen."

Lu Ya's eyes showed an expression of emotion. He bowed to Shen Gongbao and said with a smile.

***
In the depths of the endless ocean, a small boat sailed through the waves like an arrow, leaving a pale white trail.

At the end of the sky and sea, there are red cliffs, strange rocks, steep cliffs and strange peaks, and a huge island is looming.

"Are we here?"

Lin Xuan perked up and patted Huang Rong on the shoulder.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian also sent Daji to the Queen Mother's Palace and brought news about Yao Yue.

Generally speaking, Nuwa asked her to sit in the Nuwa Palace and command the monsters.

But now, a few troublesome monsters see that she is young and impetuous, and always want to make a big news.

Although Yao Yue has no desire for power, she is extremely competitive. When faced with such a situation, she naturally wants to determine the winner.

In short, she now needs to deal with the challenge of the demon clan and has no time to spare.

After a few months, when we have defeated all the monsters, it won’t be too late to meet again.

Lin Xuan thought about it, and realized that Yao Yue’s assessment task was to depose King Zhou of Shang and re-establish the ruler of China as the agent of Queen Wa.

Now that the demon tribe is not obedient to her, her identity as the Queen Nuwa’s agent needs to be discounted.

Moreover, the catastrophe is imminent, the position of the demon clan is also very important, and no hidden dangers can be left.

So Lin Xuan wrote back to Yao Yue, and asked Jiang Ziya to keep an eye on Aoxue and Ah Qing's whereabouts, and then went to sea with Huang Rong. They drifted on the road for more than half a month, but overall it was smooth.

They only encountered a prehistoric megalodon sea shark and two or three groups of evil cultivators who were killing people and robbing and imprisoning souls at sea.

The megalodon was killed by Huang Rong with a stick, while the evil cultivator was able to exert his remaining energy in the Human Emperor Banner.

Everyone has a bright future.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be here..."

Huang Rong took out the sea map given by Hou Tu Niangniang and looked at it for a few times, then let out a sigh, "This damn place is so hard to find! Fortunately, I am smart. If it were Purple Shirt Dragon King, he would have died on the way."

"Others have taught you some seamanship after all. It's not nice to curse them like this..."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "But you are right. This place is indeed not easy to find. If I were to go there alone, it would take at least several months."

It is very difficult to find the target accurately when sailing in the sea.

Even in this technological age, all kinds of accidents can occur if you deviate slightly from the mainstream route.

Although the Conferred God Plane is not as vast as the Yama World, it is at least ten times larger than the Earth.

After the plane was upgraded, the ocean area naturally increased dramatically. Even with accurate nautical instruments, it was difficult to find an isolated island in the deep ocean.

Oh, the Queen Mother Hou Tu has never been to the Conferred God Plane, and the marked sea chart itself is a bit abstract.

Lin Xuan felt that the difficulty of finding the Flower-Fruit Mountain through this thing was no easier than conquering the Grand Route and finding the great secret treasure...

No wonder in the legends, it would take ancient immortals more than ten years or even dozens of years to go overseas.

I guess I spend most of my time getting lost...

In fact, it is because these heavenly systems are not detailed enough and have not paid enough attention to the ocean.

Among the Four Emperors, the Emperor of Purple Star is the lord of all the stars and in charge of the laws of heaven and earth.

The Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole controls the thunder in the nine heavens; the Great Emperor Gou Chen controls the two poles and three talents, and is responsible for all military affairs in the world; the Goddess Hou Tu controls the mountains, rivers, and the underworld.

It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that a deity in charge of maritime shipping finally emerged after the witch Zhu Lin Mo Niang from Meizhou Island became "Mazu".

Due to the times, Mazu is not very well-known, and in many dimensions, the shadow of this Queen of Heaven cannot be seen at all.

Anyway, Poseidon is still very valuable.

Not to mention anything else, if the Conferred Gods plane had the support of Mazu, it could have entered the Age of Discovery in advance.

Therefore, since this time it involves the Conferred God, we can also find another way to create a "Sea God"...

Well, gaining control of the sea two thousand years earlier would definitely have had a huge impact on the entire Chinese civilization.

Lin Xuan felt that even King Wu's conquest of King Zhou might not be comparable to this.

***
As they were talking, the boat had traveled over a hundred miles and landed steadily on the island.

The island is very green, with rare grasses and flowers blooming all the time and green pines and cypresses forming a forest.

In the forest, longevity deer, fairy foxes, magical birds and black cranes can be seen everywhere, and there are also macaques jumping around and picking wild fruits.

"Sure enough, this should be it."

The two walked and looked around, and soon arrived at the top of the mountain, where they saw an extremely huge fairy stone.

That immortal stone is thirty-six feet and five inches high, according to the number of stars in the sky; it has nine holes and eight holes on it, according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

There are no trees on any side to block the view, the sky is pure and beautiful, and the essence of the sun and the moon shines through it.

"Well, put the talisman on it."

Lin Xuan glanced at Huang Rong and said, "Be careful with your stick. If you break the stone, it will be troublesome."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm not that careless..."

Huang Rong shrank the golden cudgel into a short stick and put it on her waist: "Are we going to stick this talisman like this? Do we need to choose an auspicious day?"

"The Queen Mother Hou Tu didn't explain it, so there shouldn't be such a saying."

Lin Xuan laughed and said, "Besides, what kind of auspicious day is suitable for the birth of the stone monkey?"

"This monkey was born from the essence of heaven and earth. I think it should be unique. I was wrong..."

Huang Rong shook her head, pasted the talisman on the immortal stone, and bowed slightly: "Brother Monkey, come out."

The moment the talisman came into contact with the fairy stone, a dazzling bright yellow flame suddenly burst out.

The light flowed and slowly seeped into the fairy stone.

A thunderous explosion sounded, and the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed.

The air waves surged, and the extremely solid fairy stone turned into powder, revealing a stone egg the size of a basketball.

The stone egg grew when it came into contact with the wind and turned into a stone monkey with all the facial features and limbs intact.

"Squeak?"

The stone monkey stretched his muscles, looked at Lin Xuan and Huang Rong not far away, then lowered his head and looked carefully, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Why is this monkey so stupid?"

Huang Rong's mind moved slightly, and she whispered, "Brother Lin, you said that small animals have an 'imprinting effect', and they will regard the first living thing they see as their parents. Does this monkey think that we are its parents?"

"The imprinting effect usually occurs in newborn ducklings. I've never heard of monkeys doing the same thing..."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Besides, this stone monkey was born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it is probably much smarter than you."

"Humph! That's not necessarily true!"

Huang Rong rolled her eyes and turned to look at the stone monkey: "Little monkey, can you speak?"

The stone monkey blinked, rolled his eyes like Huang Rong, and turned his head away.

“You’ve learned it quite well…”

Huang Rong was somewhat helpless: "Brother Lin, what should we do? We can't learn monkey language here, right?"

"Not really... The talisman contains the essence of the earth from the goddess Hou Tu. The stone monkey has already absorbed it and has become spiritual."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Stone Monkey, if you want to learn to speak, it will take you several months. Now time is running out, I want to teach you the method of mind transmission, please remember it..."

"Squeak!"

***
Penglai Fairy Island
"It is not surprising that the essence of heaven and earth turned into a stone monkey and was born to meet the calamity."

"But... why was this monkey born a thousand years earlier than I originally calculated?"

A young Taoist in his early thirties wearing a Taoist robe frowned and looked into the depths of the East China Sea with a deep gaze.

The young man's temperament is vast, not as unattainable as a mountain or cliff, but as boundless and unpredictable as the sea.

"The mind of heaven is unpredictable, and I didn't expect that the affairs of the human world are also like this..."

After a long while, the young Taoist shook his head and said, "Wudang, the golden light just now shot towards the Dou Palace. I think a spiritual creature appeared in the depths of the East China Sea. Please pass on my decree and order Duobao to investigate the cause and effect of the matter, and bring the spiritual creature to me."

"I will obey your orders!"

A clear and melodious female voice sounded, and a woman with auspicious colors around her, wearing a rosy crown on her head and skillfully combing her hair appeared in front of the young Taoist.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Master, a woman just broke into the Green Tour Palace, and Senior Sister Gui Ling was defeated in the fight. When I arrived, Senior Brother Duo Bao had already personally fought the enemy, so please give me some instructions, Master."

"Is there such a thing?"

A trace of doubt flashed across the young Taoist's eyes: "Come with me to take a look."

"Yes!"
