Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

"If you want to fight, go fight outside! The Chaos Storm is about to begin. Anyone who makes a fuss again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The pressure of a quasi-saint erupted suddenly, causing all three sides to retreat.

Even the golden lotus beneath Buddha's seat swayed three times. The Great Emperor Qinghua aptly smoothed things over.

"Gentlemen, the time has come."

In the distance, a gray storm stretching across the sky was forming.

The chaotic energy surged like a dragon, shattering space wherever it passed.

"Go!" someone shouted, and cultivators from the three forces below the Taiyi Golden Immortal level surged toward Storm like a tide.

In the Heavenly Court, Nezha rides his Wind Fire Wheels, leading the charge; in Buddhism, the Arhat Subduing Dragon speeds along on his golden dragon; and in the River Styx, a girl in a blue dress transforms into a flickering blood shadow.

As Venus gazed at the chaotic storm, he suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that my friend Lin Zhu isn't here."

Upon hearing this, all the celestial beings in Heaven showed expressions of regret.

The Heart Moon Fox of the Twenty-Eight Mansions gently bites its crimson lips.

"If he were here, he would surely be able to secure a great opportunity for our Heavenly Court."

On the opposite Buddhist side, Guanyin Bodhisattva's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

She transmitted her voice to Manjushri beside her: "That Lin Zhu is arrogant and conceited. Missing such an opportunity is truly a blessing from heaven for our Buddhist sect."

Manjushri nodded slightly, and the Wisdom Sword in his hand gleamed with golden light.

"If this child obtains the power of chaos, he will surely become a great scourge to our Buddhist sect in the future."

On the edge of the chaotic storm, Su Lengyu, a girl in a blue dress, anxiously looked around.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes as black as lacquer, making her stand out from the group of fierce-looking Asuras.

"Sister, have you seen Young Master Lin?" She grabbed a woman in a red dress.

The woman with willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes was none other than Su Lengyu's older sister, Liu Man.

She smiled knowingly, "What, is my little sister lovesick? That Lin Zhu is just a minor immortal, is he really worth your attention?" Su Lengyu's pretty face flushed red.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense! Young Master Lin saved my life!"

"A life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body."

Liu Man leaned close to her ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"How about I teach you a few tricks? That way, that kid's safe."

"Sister!" Su Lengyu was filled with shame and indignation. She pushed her away and transformed into a streak of blood, disappearing into the storm.

At the eye of the storm, Nezha and the Arhat Subduing Dragon arrived almost simultaneously.

The two exchanged a glance and tacitly chose one side.

"Third Prince, please show mercy this time."

The Arhat Subduing the Dragon laughed.

Nezha shook his Fire-Tipped Spear.

"Enough talk! Let's see who has the skills!"

Just as the two were about to clash, the chaotic storm suddenly trembled violently.

A gray beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating an area of ​​thousands of miles around as if it were a ghost town.

"Not good!" Venus's expression changed drastically.

"The power of chaos has gone berserk!" In the Heavenly Court camp, the four Quasi-Saints attacked simultaneously.

The Ziwei Emperor played the Jade Ziqin, which resonated with the "Soul-Suppressing Melody"; the Changsheng Emperor summoned the Changsheng Sword, its light cascading like a silver river; the Gouchen Emperor unleashed a punch, his fist intent condensing into the Xuanwu Dharma Image; the Qinghua Emperor's sleeves billowed, and blue lotuses bloomed in abundance.

The four quasi-saint powers intertwined to form a net, attempting to suppress the rampaging chaos.

However, the gray beam of light only paused slightly before continuing to expand.

On the Buddhist side, even the Buddha's expression changed.

"Bodhisattvas, quickly form the Great Formation of Ten Thousand Buddhas!" Guanyin's jade bottle tilted, and sweet dew fell like rain; Manjushri's wisdom sword slashed out with a thousand feet of golden light; Samantabhadra's six-tusked white elephant roared to the sky.

Countless swastika Buddhist seals formed a large array in the air.

At the River Styx, the Heavenly Princess Umo let out a shrill cry, and the sea of ​​blood surged up, transforming into a barrier ten thousand feet high.

With the combined efforts of the three parties, the chaotic pillar of light was finally temporarily suppressed.

But everyone knew that this was just the beginning.

Inside the storm, Su Lengyu struggled forward.

The chaotic currents tore at her protective blood-red aura, but her eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

"Young Master Lin, where are you?" Just as she was exhausted, a familiar aura suddenly came from the depths of the storm.

Su Lengyu's beautiful eyes lit up, and she rushed in that direction without hesitation.

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Court's camp, the Ziwei Emperor seemed to sense something and looked towards a certain part of the storm.

He smiled slightly and murmured in a voice only he could hear, "I see. Lin Zhu, you are quite fortunate."

Beyond the storm, powerful figures from all sides harbor their own agendas.

Meanwhile, the real Lin Zhu is experiencing a wonderful encounter far beyond anyone's imagination in a place no one could have imagined.
Lin Zhu sat cross-legged on his dormitory bed, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He formed hand seals, trying to control the gray air currents that were swirling around the room, but he was always just a little short.

"Failed again!"

He scratched his head in frustration, watching a wisp of chaotic energy slip through his fingers, like a playful little fish disappearing into the gap between the bookshelves.

Inside the dormitory, hundreds of wisps of chaotic energy moved about like living things, sometimes coalescing into clusters, sometimes dispersing like mist.

These gray currents may seem harmless, but they contain terrifying energy that could drive the three realms mad.

Unbeknownst to Lin Zhu, while he was struggling with how to subdue this chaotic energy, the outside world had already been in an uproar due to a chaotic storm.

Beyond the thirty-third heaven, a chaotic storm raged.

"Quick! Stop that chaotic energy!"

A golden-armored general stood on auspicious clouds, his spear pointing straight ahead.

The hundreds of heavenly soldiers behind him formed a battle formation, but they were still easily dispersed by a chaotic energy as thick as an arm.

Not far away, Umo, the first consort under the Styx Ancestor, stood in mid-air. As her red dress fluttered, she lightly waved her jade hand and collected the three streams of chaotic energy.

Her lips parted slightly, and her voice was sweet and alluring.

“Little fellows of Heaven, this kind of opportunity is not something you can handle.”

"Your Majesty is mistaken."

A Buddhist chant rang out, and the golden body of the Tathagata Buddha, standing sixteen feet tall, appeared in the golden light.

"The primordial energy is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, and only those with the right destiny can obtain it."

Before the Buddha finished speaking, purple clouds stretched for 30,000 miles in the eastern sky, and four majestic figures arrived, none other than the Four Emperors of Heaven: the Ziwei Emperor, the Changsheng Emperor, the Gouchen Emperor, and the Houtu Emperor.

"What a big battle."

Umo covered his mouth and chuckled, but his eyes held a hint of apprehension.

At the center of the chaotic storm, countless gray currents danced wildly like dragons and snakes.

Whenever chaotic energy appears in the world, it triggers a small-scale struggle.

Just as a Taiyi Golden Immortal grasped a wisp of chaotic energy, he was besieged by three Asura generals and had no choice but to painfully give it up.

"Hahaha, I got it!"

A demon saint laughed wildly as he swallowed a wisp of chaotic energy, causing his demonic power to surge instantly.

However, before his smile could fade, his body swelled up like an inflated balloon, and finally exploded into a bloody mist with a "bang".

"Out of control."

The Ziwei Emperor snorted coldly, "How could ordinary cultivators withstand the chaotic energy?"

While the various forces were locked in a fierce struggle, no one noticed that at the edge of the storm, a young man in white was quietly collecting scattered chaotic energy. His movements were skillful; each time he made a move, he precisely captured a wisp of it and then swiftly disappeared into the void.

In the dormitory, Lin Zhu finally found a way to control the chaotic energy.

"receive!"

He clasped his hands together, and the spiritual energy within his body circulated along a specific trajectory.

In an instant, the chaotic energy in the room flowed like rivers converging into the sea, gathering in his palm.

"Finally done."

Lin Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the chaotic energy that had condensed into a bead in his palm, a gratified smile on his face.

"It was worth spending all my savings to buy that Chaos Green Lotus seed."

Lin Zhu's heart still races when she recalls the scene of gritting her teeth and bidding at the black market auction three months ago.

That seemingly withered seed cost him all his savings and left him with a debt equivalent to three hundred years of Venus's salary.

"It was worth it, so worth it!"

Lin Zhu muttered to himself.

The amount of chaotic energy released when the seeds sprouted far exceeded expectations; the energy in just this one room was more than a hundred times that of the chaotic storm outside.

[Ding! Host energy overflow detected. Automatically activating the reserve system.]

The mechanical voice that suddenly rang in Lin Zhu's mind startled him.

[Current overflowing energy: 230 million years of cultivation, which has been converted into reserve energy and will be fully returned after the host advances]

"Two hundred million. Three thousand years?"

Lin Zhu's eyes widened, and she almost bit her tongue.

This number is terrifying. You have to understand that even those ancient monsters who have lived for countless epochs rarely have a cultivation period of more than 100 million years.

He subconsciously glanced at the bronze mirror on the desk. The boy in the mirror had delicate features and didn't look like an "old monster" at all.

"This is really..."

Lin Zhu shook his head and chuckled, "The youngest two-hundred-million-year-old monster?"

As the last chaotic energy entered his body, Lin Zhu suddenly sensed a strange movement coming from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

Upon probing with divine sense, a small storm was seen forming inside the bead.

"Is this... the waste gas emitted by the Chaos Green Lotus?"

Lin Zhu observed carefully and found that there were indeed scattered chaotic energies mixed in with the storm, but their purity was far less than that of what he had absorbed.

This reminded him of the message sent by Venus yesterday: "Young friend Lin, a chaotic storm has appeared in the human realm. Come quickly to seek opportunities together!"

At the time, he was puzzled as to how such a legendary phenomenon as a chaotic storm could suddenly appear in the world.

Now it seems
"Could the chaotic storms outside be the excrement of some chaotic blue lotus?"

Lin Zhu was amused by her own thoughts.

If that's true, those powerful figures who fought tooth and nail for it would be furious if they knew the truth.

With a thought, Lin Zhu tried to guide the storm inside the bead with his divine sense.

To his surprise, the storm was completely under his control, as if it were his own arm.

"interesting."

A sly glint flashed in Lin Zhu's eyes. "Perhaps it's possible."

Meanwhile, in the skies above the Great Tang Dynasty in the East.

The chaotic storm has moved to a point a hundred miles outside Chang'an City.

Intriguingly, the storm's trajectory suddenly changed, and it began to drift westward.

"Buddha, the storm is moving towards India!"

One of the Arhats exclaimed in surprise.

Above the clouds, the Buddha smiled and nodded, "Excellent, this is the will of Heaven." The bodhisattvas and arhats of the Western Paradise all showed joy on their faces.

Following this direction, the storm will pass through the Pure Land of India and the Western Continent before finally settling in the territory of the Western Religion.

"Amitabha."

The Buddha's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the four directions: "The westward journey of chaos is a sign that our Buddhist school is destined to prosper. All who take refuge in our Buddha can share in this opportunity."

"Ananda! Kasyapa! Come to me immediately!"

Inside the Great Thunder Temple, the Buddha sat on a lotus throne, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

He had just observed the chaotic storm surging from the horizon with his discerning eyes, and the chaotic energy contained within the storm made his heart burn with excitement.

The two venerable ones rushed over and bowed respectfully, asking, "What decree does the Buddha have?"

A compassionate smile appeared on the Buddha's face. He lightly touched the void with his finger, and instantly a scene of a chaotic storm sweeping across the heavens and earth appeared. "Do you see it? This is a great opportunity that I bestow upon believers!"

Ananda and Kasyapa exchanged a glance and immediately understood.

They've done this kind of thing far too often. Whenever any unusual phenomenon appears in the world, as long as it benefits Western religion, they'll claim it's a manifestation of Buddha.

"The disciple understands."

Venerable Kasyapa clasped his hands together, a sly glint in his eyes, and said, “I will go to India to issue a decree, so that believers will know that this is a gift from the Buddha.”

The Buddha nodded in satisfaction, "Remember, those who are sincere will be immune to all diseases and poisons. As for those who do not respect the Buddha's teachings..."

A golden glint flashed in his eyes, "Send evil spirits and demons to serve them, let them be afflicted with all sorts of diseases in the storm!"

"Follow the law!"

The two venerable ones bowed and withdrew, then rode on auspicious clouds straight to India.

Upon leaving the Great Thunderclap Temple, Ananda couldn't help but laugh, "This time we can harvest another wave of faith power."

Kasyapa held his prayer beads, his face full of piety, "Amitabha, this is all for the salvation of all sentient beings."

After saying that, he laughed first, "Let's go, the usual routine, let's find a few 'miracles' to set the stage."

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

Just as the All-Seeing Eye and All-Hearing Ear finished reporting on the movements of the Chaos Storm, the Jade Emperor nodded slightly: "What's the situation with the Western Sect?"

Venus stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Buddha has sent Ananda and Kasyapa to India, presumably to take this opportunity to spread the Dharma."

"Hmph!" Nezha, the Third Prince, couldn't help but sneer. "Are they going to play that 'believers are blessed, non-believers suffer' trick again? Disgusting!"

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, frowned: "Nezha, watch your words!"

"Did I say something wrong?" Nezha crossed his arms, his Fire-Tipped Spear buzzing behind him. "Every time there's a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth, they insist on interpreting it as a manifestation of the Buddha. Last time a meteorite fell from the sky, they insisted it was 'the wrath of the Buddha's Vajra'; the year before last, there was a severe drought, and they said it was 'a test of the believers' sincerity'."

This chaotic storm is clearly extraterrestrial energy, and they're going to…”

"Third Prince!" Venus quickly interrupted, lowering his voice, "India and Xiniu Hezhou are already the territory of the Western Religion, why should we meddle in their affairs?"

The Jade Emperor stroked his long beard and said calmly, "What Venus said is absolutely right. My beloved ministers, it is only right that you take this opportunity to collect more chaotic energy."

Nezha pouted and turned to leave: "I'm going on patrol, out of sight, out of mind!"

Outside the Great Brahma Temple in the Buddhist Kingdom of India.

Ananda and Kasyapa floated in mid-air, bathed in the Buddha's light.

Below, devout believers knelt, their eyes filled with expectation.

"The Buddha's decree has arrived!" Venerable Kasyapa's voice boomed, "This chaotic storm is a great opportunity bestowed by the Buddha's compassion upon those who sincerely worship the Buddha! Those who are sincere will be immune to all diseases and poisons!"

Ananda added, "As for those who disrespect the Buddha's teachings," he waved his hand, and a chilling wind suddenly arose, with several phantom images of evil spirits and demons appearing and disappearing in the clouds, "they will surely suffer from a hundred diseases!"

The believers trembled with excitement, repeatedly kowtowing and crying out, "Buddha, have mercy! Buddha, have mercy!"

From the crowd, a frail old man asked in a trembling voice, "Venerable One, I have been a devout Buddhist for many years, but this intractable ailment..."

Kasyapa looked compassionate and said, "If you sincerely believe in the Buddha, your illness will disappear after the storm."

The old man's eyes filled with tears, and he kowtowed repeatedly. (End of Chapter)
