The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 74 The Eastern Azure Splendor Palace, purple mist and rosy light pierce the heavens; a thousand lotus flowers reflect the throne, a nine-headed lion emerges from the clouds.

Before him, Fahai summoned the golden dragon Dharma form of the Buddhist Dharma protector and bit at Zhang Tianlu.

The golden dragon has five claws, dazzling golden scales, and a majestic aura. Its body radiates boundless Buddhist light.

Ordinary evil spirits and heretics would be terrified at the sight of this golden dragon, and would not dare to resist.

However, Zhang Tianlu was not flustered at all.

He looked at the five-clawed golden dragon with disdain.

Even a mudfish in the Buddhist temple dares to release a grain of light in front of the bright sun?

court death.

I am a Taoist patriarch who has been reborn from the ashes. Heaven cannot bury me, and earth cannot destroy me. How dare you, a bald Buddhist monk, come and take me away?
Do you think that there are no guardian beasts in our Taoist school?
Zhang Tianlu unfurled the Zhengyi Dragon-Tiger Alliance Majesty Talisman.

The divine scroll unfolds.

Quickly flip through the pages until you stop on a page with a picture of a mythical beast.

The Supreme Secret Essentials for Helping the Country and Saving the People states: "When walking, inquiring about illness, curing evil spirits, entering temples, crossing rivers, entering mountains, or writing talismans, one must perform hand seals."

Taoist priests must perform corresponding hand gestures in each step of chanting scriptures, using talismans, reciting incantations, performing rituals, setting up altars, summoning generals, using qi to suppress evil, treating illnesses, and praying for blessings.

Zhang Tianlu made a hand seal and summoned the guardian beast with his sword.

"The Easternmost Azure Flower Palace, with its purple mist and rosy glow piercing the vast sky; a thousand lotus flowers reflect the throne, and a nine-headed lion emerges from the clouds."

The precious scriptures are opened at the Antarctic Altar, and the mysterious forbidden gates of the Northern Capital are broken; we earnestly pray for your radiant light to relieve suffering, we bow in reverence to the compassionate shrine; the merit of this offering is inconceivable, may the wandering souls and lingering spirits be swiftly liberated!

"The Nine Spirits Primordial Saint of the Eastern Azure Flower Wonderful Palace has descended to the mortal realm to assist me. I urgently summon him!"

With a single incantation, a divine hand gesture was unleashed, and the magic sword touched the celestial talisman before him.

On that picture book, divine script flew out and quickly transformed into a golden light that shot into the sky.

As a bolt of golden lightning struck, countless golden rays formed the image of a divine lion.

This lion sits majestically in mid-air, exuding power and majesty. It has a lion's body and nine heads.

With golden hair and red eyes, a body ten feet tall, flowing clouds and swirling wind beneath his feet, and snoring that shook the valley like thunder.

This beast is none other than the nine-headed lion, the mount of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, also known as Dongji Qinghua Dadi, Xun Sheng Jiuku Tianzun, and Qingxuan Jiuyang Shangdi.

This celestial being, along with the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, served as the left and right attendants of the Jade Emperor.

On ordinary days, it resides in "Qinghua Changle Realm, Dongji Miaoyan Palace", where it can guide suffering souls to rebirth.

For those who accumulate virtue, do good deeds, understand the truth and the mysteries and have perfect merits, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun "rides the fairy chariot of nine lions and scatters the auspicious light of hundreds of treasures" to lead them to ascend to heaven and become immortals.

How powerful are they?

The *Taiyi Jiuku Hushen Miaojing* states: "In the Eastern World of Eternal Bliss, there is a Greatly Compassionate One, the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, whose incarnations are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and all things respond to his calls..."

"His supernatural powers are boundless, his merits limitless, he hears cries of distress and relieves suffering, responding to all circumstances as they arise."

What do you mean?
This means that this Heavenly Venerable manifests in countless forms, like countless grains of sand scattered across the nine heavens. When humanity is in danger, as long as they recite the Heavenly Venerable's holy name, the Heavenly Venerable will respond to their call and come to their rescue.

To put it simply, it's similar to the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through Thunder and Lightning of the Nine Heavens.

All are responses from the Nine Heavens!
The meaning is that wherever you are, as long as you encounter difficulties or are caught in injustices, you can call upon the holy name of the Heavenly Venerable within the Nine Heavens and Three Realms, and the Heavenly Venerable will sense your presence.

If any evil spirits appear, the Heavenly Venerable can turn them into ashes with a flick of his finger.

Of course, that's what they say. He can sense you, but as a Heavenly Venerable, he might not even pay you any attention.

Whether or not it will be taken seriously depends on the Celestial Venerable's mood.

In Journey to the West, why did the Monkey King only attack the South Gate of Heaven when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace?

Because the Eastern Heavenly Gate was guarded by this great emperor.

His mount, the nine-headed lion, is none other than the Nine-Headed Lion, who became a demon in the Nine-Bend Cave of Bamboo Mountain in Yuhua Prefecture in Journey to the West.

While the Celestial Lion Servant was intoxicated by drinking the Reincarnation Elixir of the Supreme Celestial Venerable, this beast secretly descended to the mortal realm and lived as a demon in the Nine-Bend Cave of Bamboo Mountain in Yuhua Prefecture for three years (one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth).

He also adopted seven lions as his sons: Yellow Lion, Suanni, Tuanxiang Lion, Bai Ze, Fuli, Naoshi, and Xueshi.

It was revered as "Ancestor" by the seven lion demons, and had countless disciples and grand-disciples. Although it had become a demon, its powerful origins meant it had no interest in the flesh of Tang Sanzang, which was said to grant immortality.

With such great supernatural powers, during the ordeal at Bamboo Mountain, the Nine-Headed Lion simply conjured nine heads, which opened their mouths simultaneously, and gently carried the Monkey King and Sandy into the cave.

Even powerful figures like Sun Wukong and the Curtain-Raising General are no match for a single bite.

The monkey couldn't win, so it had to ask the Heavenly Venerable to use magic to take its mount back.

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Lion was summoned by Zhang Tianlu.

The nine-headed lion turned its head and glanced at Zhang Tianlu, who had turned into a zombie.

A hint of surprise appeared in its eyes.

But he didn't say anything.

At this moment, the golden dragon of Buddhism on Fahai's back had already flown to the front of the nine-headed lion.

With a command from Zhang Tianlu, who was holding the Zhengyi Alliance Talisman.

"Holy Lion, help me!"

Nine-Headed Lion immediately turned his head away.

The next second, the nine-headed lion saw a dragon flying towards it.

Nine-Headed Lion: Let me see what's going on?
A Buddhist mudfish?!
Well come!
"Roar!!!"

Nine-Headed Lion Saint stomped its lion paw on the spot, and the next second, it roared, a terrifying lion's roar shaking heaven and earth.

Taiyi Tianzun described his lion's roar as: "Reaching the Three Saints above and penetrating the Nine Springs below!"

This Buddhist golden dragon was created by Fahai himself; it belongs to the mortal realm.

They did not recognize the Nine-Headed Primordial Saint from the Nine Heavens.

At first, this golden dragon possessed the majesty of a dragon and the pride of a Buddhist.

It bared its teeth and claws at the nine-headed lion, ready to bite.

However, the next second the nine-headed lion turned its head and roared.

The roar was deafening, instantly waking the golden dragon.

Nine-Headed Lion: Show your teeth again?
Are there no immortals in the lower realm, and no one recognizes the true gods before them?
When did a mudfish dare to bare its teeth at me, Nine-Headed Lion?

The golden dragon instantly sensed the difference in strength between the two sides.

It immediately backed down.
The feeling that Nine-Headed Lion gave this golden dragon

It's like a teddy bear dog that follows its master around like a bully, baring its teeth and showing off its power its whole life. Then one day, the teddy bear suddenly sees Ultraman Taro standing in front of it.
There is a sense of awe, like seeing Mount Tai from a small hillside in a single day.

Jinlong turned and ran away, and Fahai was so frightened that he was drenched in sweat.

"Come back quickly!"

Knowing he was no match for the dragon, Fahai quickly summoned back the mighty golden dragon.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

With the Nine-Headed Lion Saint right in front of you, are you still running away?

Even the monkeys couldn't escape back then!
Nine-Headed Lion: Let me tell you a ghost story. I once captured the Monkey King!

If you can also do somersaults and can do two somersaults in a row, sorry, you can't escape either!
The nine heads on the Nine-Headed Lion Saint's head simultaneously inhaled a breath.

A gust of wind swallowed up the vital energy.

The golden dragon Fahai was pulled back in one swift motion.

He swallowed the golden dragon like he was drinking noodles.

Fahai and the group of eminent Buddhist monks were stunned by what they saw.

This……

It swallowed it whole?
Fahai was mentally devastated.

My Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, cultivated through 50 years of arduous practice!
Did you fucking spit out a mouthful of noodles in my mouth?
I'll fucking kill you!
