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

"Don't be too quick to be moved. I have my own selfish motives too."

His expression straightened.

"Three days from now, I will break the seal on the shore of the East Sea and attempt to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. At that time, the Heavenly Tribulation will descend, and someone will be needed to protect me."

Yunxiao immediately understood.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you intend for us three sisters to recover our cultivation and then protect you?"

"Exactly."

Lin Zhu nodded.

"When the three of you join forces, even the Twelve Golden Immortals of yesteryear would be wary of you. With your protection, my chances of surviving the tribulation will be much greater."

Suddenly, the Holy Mother of Wudang interrupted.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, if you were to advance to the Great Luo realm on your own, wouldn't you need a Nine-Turn Great Luo Golden Pill?"

Upon hearing this, the three immortals of Sanxiao changed color simultaneously.

Yunxiao hurriedly said:
"That's right! Fellow Daoist Lin is about to advance in his cultivation; you should keep this Golden Core for yourself!"

Lin Zhu laughed heartily.

"You underestimate me."

His eyes held an air of arrogance.

"Why would I, Lin Zhu, need external aids to advance to the Great Luo realm? These three golden pills were originally prepared for you."

The four women were shocked once again.

To advance to the Great Luo realm without the Nine Revolutions Great Luo Golden Elixir? What incredible confidence!
The Holy Mother of Wudang gave Lin Zhu a deep look.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed extraordinary."

Lin Zhu remained noncommittal and pushed the three golden pills into the Three Heavens respectively.

"Take this and consume and refine it as soon as possible. See you in the East Sea in three days."

Yunxiao received the golden pill, feeling the immense medicinal power emanating from his palm, his heart churning with turmoil.

She looked up at Lin Zhu, her eyes filled with gratitude and an indescribable mix of emotions.

"I will never forget Fellow Daoist Lin's great kindness."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao each received the golden pill, their beautiful eyes shining with equal brilliance.

Lin Zhu felt a little uncomfortable under the intense gazes of the three women and coughed lightly.

"Well... now that we've finished talking, I'll go first."

"Brother Lin!"

Bixiao suddenly called out to him, her voice soft and sweet.

"Could you... could you stay and guide us on how to take the Golden Elixir? I'm afraid."

Qiongxiao nodded, blushing.

"Yes, the Nine-Turn Great Luo Golden Pill is too potent. If Brother Lin were there to protect it..."

Although Yunxiao didn't speak, his expressive eyes said it all.

Lin Zhu's forehead was covered in sweat.

Why are the three sisters' eyes looking increasingly strange? He quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, I still have some preparations to make. Senior Sister Wudang's cultivation is profound; her guidance is sufficient!"

After saying that, before the four women could react, Lin Zhu flashed and transformed into a streak of green light, escaping from the cave at an astonishing speed.

Above the East China Sea, there is not a cloud in sight.

Lin Zhu stood on the void, his green robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes slightly closed for three whole days.

Within a three-zhang radius around him, the air became solid, and even the sea breeze detoured around it.

"System, confirm the data again."

[Ding! Host's current status: Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal]

[Success rate of advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm: 99.87%]

[Chaotic Divine Lightning Resistance: 98.92%]

[Immunity to Inner Demons: 100%]

Hearing the mechanical prompts in his mind, Lin Zhu's lips curled up slightly.

He obtained this system by chance a hundred years ago, and it can accurately calculate various cultivation data.

But at this moment, he still took out eighty-one Xuanhuang flags from his sleeve and planted them on the sea surface within a hundred miles according to the positions of the stars in the heavens.

"The master is too cautious!"

A clear child's voice came from the seabed, and a small silver-scaled dragon broke out of the water, transforming into a young girl with her hair in a bun, hovering beside Lin Zhu.

"The system says it's almost 100% certain."

Lin Zhu flicked Xiao Qiong's forehead with her finger.

"What do you know? If the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had had a system back then, he wouldn't have been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by Buddha."

As he spoke, he took out thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and formed a second layer of protection above his head.

Xiao Qiong rubbed her forehead and muttered.

"But Sun Wukong is..."

"shush"

Lin Zhu suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light surged in them.

"The time has come."

Before the words were even finished, the world suddenly went dark!
The once clear sky seemed to have been splashed with ink, and darkness spread wildly from the bamboo forest as its center.

The Holy Mother of Wudang, thousands of miles away, suddenly stood up, and the teacup in her hand shattered with a "crack".

"Three thousand miles of calamity clouds?"

The Fairy of the Azure Clouds cried out in alarm, and the Heaven-Illuminating Mirror in her hand trembled violently.

"Senior sister, look! What's mixed in with that lightning!"

Qiongxiao snatched the treasure mirror, and saw that lightning snakes surged in the mirror, each bolt of purple lightning carrying a hazy gray aura.

Her fingertips trembled.

"Chaotic Divine Lightning. This is innate tribulation lightning that existed since the creation of the world!"

The twelve-petaled white lotus of purity flew out from the sleeve of the Holy Mother Wudang, her tone solemn.

"The Western religion must sense this and prepare to meet the enemy."

She gazed at the azure figure in the center of the tribulation clouds and murmured.

At this moment, thunderclouds have covered a sea area of ​​three thousand miles, and the sea surface has sunk into a huge whirlpool.

When the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck, the entire void distorted.

Lin Zhu neither dodged nor avoided the purple lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket pierced through her head, causing her hair ornament to explode and her black hair to dance wildly like a demon.

"That was exhilarating!" he roared, and the Primordial Dao Scripture within his body began to circulate wildly, channeling the power of the tribulation lightning into his limbs and bones.

The system's light screen flickered before my eyes.

[Chaotic Divine Lightning Absorption Rate: 65%]

Physical strength +12%

In the Western Paradise, the glazed tiles of the Great Thunder Temple suddenly cracked.

The Buddha opened his golden eyes, and the golden wheel of merit behind his head dimmed slightly.

"Buddha?" Venerable Kasyapa asked in surprise and doubt.

The Buddha calculated with his fingers and his voice resounded throughout Mount Ling: "There is a cultivator in the Eastern Land who is undergoing the Great Luo Tribulation, and he is destined to meet me."

An uproar immediately erupted below the lotus platform.

Among the eighteen Arhats, the Arhat who subdues dragons sneered: "I'm afraid it's another one of the likes of Sun Wukong."

"No." The image of the Eastern Sea appeared in the Buddha's palm: "This person has not entered the Xuanmen (mysterious sect), yet has cultivated the Primordial Qi. If he were to enter my Western Paradise..."

Before she could finish speaking, Guanyin had already taken a step forward, and the willow branch in the jade bottle moved without any wind.

"This disciple is willing to go and guide people to enlightenment." Her voice was soft, but a dark fire burned in her eyes.

Three years ago, this monk in blue robes publicly exposed her shameful secret of secretly raising a goldfish boy and even extorted three drops of nectar from her.

Manjushri and Samantabhadra appeared in the ranks at the same time.

Samantabhadra's white elephant mount stamped its hooves restlessly.

"Muzha is still in the Heavenly Prison."

He transmitted his voice in secret, and Manjushri nodded in understanding. Their disciples, Jinzha and Muzha, had both fallen to that kid.

Suddenly, a decadent fragrance wafted by, and Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, with his chest and belly exposed, squeezed to the front row.

“Such a wonderful person should be converted by me.” He stroked the human bone necklace around his neck and licked his lips.

The Buddha nodded: "Then please come along, all four of you."

As soon as the Buddhist chanting ended, Guanyin suddenly produced a jade bottle, from which the weak water poured out to form a bridge that led directly to the east.

"Walking there would be too slow."

She sneered, "Using this Weak Water Milky Way, we can reach it in half an hour."

As the four powerful beings rode the waves, Lin Zhu was enduring the seventh tribulation lightning.

The lightning bolt, crimson as blood, ripped his robes to shreds, revealing his golden body etched with Daoist runes. Xiao Qiong paced anxiously in circles at the bottom of the sea.

"Master, don't take it head-on! Use the dragon scale armor my father gave me!"

"Shut up!" Lin Zhu spat out the blood in his mouth.

"The last three steps are the key." He suddenly turned his head to look west, his pupils shrinking.

The system alarms were flashing wildly.

[Warning! Energy reactions from four Grand Luo level beings detected]

[Hate Level: 100%]

Estimated arrival time: 300 seconds

The calamity clouds seemed to sense the threat and churned even more violently.

The ninth tribulation lightning bolt delayed its strike, instead beginning to devour the surrounding spiritual energy.

The Holy Mother of Wudang turned pale upon seeing this.

"The tribulation lightning is gathering power! Quickly form the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation!" Just as the Three Immortal Maidens were about to act, Lin Zhu suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.

He flipped his hand and took out a rusty iron sword, its tip pointing straight at the sky.

"Heavenly Dao! Are you afraid?" As if enraged, a chaotic dragon of black and white lightning crashed down from the clouds! Lin Zhu did not dodge but instead charged forward, sword in hand, soaring into the sky.

The moment the iron sword collided with the thunder dragon, the rust peeled off, revealing the words "Zhu Xian" (诛仙)!
"As expected!" exclaimed the Buddha of Dipankara from thousands of miles away.

“It belongs to the Tongtian Sect Leader.” Guanyin suddenly crushed the willow branch in her hand.

"Quick! He's fusing with the power of the lightning tribulation!" The four powerful beings accelerated simultaneously, stretching the Weak Water Heavenly River into a straight ribbon of light.

Lin Zhu, amidst the lightning, was covered in cracks, yet he laughed unrestrainedly.

The Immortal Execution Sword greedily devoured the chaotic divine lightning, and the system light screen turned a blinding blood red.

[Progression to Grand Luo Golden Immortal: 99.99%]

[External Interference Warning: Enemy Possesses Saint-Level Restriction]

As the last ray of lightning entered his body, Lin Zhu suddenly pointed his sword westward.

"Since you're here, why hide?" The Immortal Execution Sword unleashed a ten-thousand-foot-long sword aura, cleaving the Weak Water Heavenly River in two!

In the Western Paradise, the Great Thunderclap Temple shone with golden light, yet it exuded a chilling aura.

"Buddha, is it too much of a fuss to mobilize four Daluo for a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva holds a blue lion staff, his brows slightly furrowed.

The Buddha on the lotus platform had his eyes half-closed, and the golden wheel of merit behind his head was slowly rotating.

"This child is the anomaly that the sage himself spoke of. If he is not eliminated, there will be changes in the great quest to the West five hundred years from now."

Guanyin Bodhisattva holds a jade vase, and willow branches sway gently.

"But what about the Heavenly Court?" "If the Heavenly Court holds me accountable, I will bear the full responsibility."

The Buddha suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if the birth and death of three thousand worlds were reflected in them.

"This child must be eliminated, at any cost!" Before the words were finished, four golden beams shot into the sky, heading straight for the East China Sea.

Meanwhile, deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea, waves of blood surged.

"Master, it's the aura of a Great Luo from Buddhism!" A Blood Sea Asura knelt on one knee, his voice trembling.

The Lord of the Styx awakens from his ten-thousand-year-old blood cocoon, his scarlet hair moving without wind.

"The Tribulation of the Great Luo Golden Immortal? Interesting." He tapped his fingertip, and the scene of the East Sea appeared before him.

"So it's that Prison God Lin Zhu." "Master, should we...?" "Let's wait and see."

Styx sneered.

"Let Buddhism and Heaven fight like dogs, and I, Xuehai, will reap the benefits."

However, at that moment, two streaks of blood-red light suddenly broke through the Blood Sea's restrictions and sped towards the East Sea.

"Insolence!" Styx roared, but it was too late to stop him.

"These two girls!" "Big sister, hurry up!" Princess Chi Lian of the Blood Sea was so anxious that her eyes turned red.

"That idiot Lin Zhu definitely doesn't know that the Buddhist sect wants to kill him!" Princess Chixiao bit her fingertip, increasing her speed by another 30%.

"Seven bolts of chaotic divine lightning have already struck; if he can't withstand them..."

"Pah! He's the man who can catch your Blood God Child with his bare hands, how could he not withstand it!" Chi Lian said forcefully, but her voice was already choked with sobs.

Above the East China Sea, dark clouds loomed overhead, and thunder roared like dragons.

"Senior sister, is this...is this really the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation?" Fairy Bixiao stared wide-eyed at the leisurely figure strolling in the sea of ​​lightning.

The corner of the Holy Mother's mouth twitched.

"Nine bolts of Chaos Divine Lightning have struck him, and he's yawning?" Lin Zhu scratched his head in the middle of the sea of ​​lightning.

"I was wondering why I felt a little itchy; it turns out my tribulation has begun."

As he spoke, he stretched, and a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket struck his head, without even causing a single hair to bristle.

Suddenly, Fairy Qiongxiao cried out, "Be careful!" Four golden lights pierced through the clouds, and amidst the resounding Buddhist chants, a golden Buddha's palm pressed down as if covering the sky and the sun!

"That old Buddha has no martial virtue!"

Lin Zhu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a chaotic blue light emanated from his body.

"You dare to cause trouble even when you're undergoing tribulation?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva's jade vase overturned, and the divine water of the three lights transformed into a celestial river pouring down; Manjushri Bodhisattva's blue lion staff transformed into a colossal pillar supporting the sky; Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's six-tusked white elephant roared to the heavens.
"Lin Zhu!"

Chi Lian's scream pierced through the thunderstorm.

Two blood-red figures rushed into the sea of ​​lightning without regard for anything, but were stopped in mid-air by Buddhist light.

Chi Xiao unleashed the Blood River Formation, only to see Lin Zhu suddenly grin.

"Don't worry, ladies, watch me tear Ronaldo apart with my bare hands!"

A surge of chaotic azure light erupted, and Lin Zhu actually caught the tenth bolt of chaotic divine lightning with his bare hands, lashing it out at the Buddha's palm like a whip.
"boom!!!"

The world lost its color, and the East China Sea was engulfed in a raging torrent.

When the light faded, the four Great Luo Golden Immortals were forced back a hundred miles!

"Chaotic Azure Lotus Body"

Guanyin Bodhisattva cried out in surprise.

"He can actually control the Chaos Divine Thunder!"

Lin Zhu shook her numb wrist and muttered to herself.

It seems like things went too far.

Before he finished speaking, chaotic blue light suddenly shot out from his seven orifices, and his aura rose steadily!
The Holy Mother of Wudang gasped in shock.

"He's using the pressure from Buddhism to force a breakthrough!"

"madman!"

Chi Lian both cried and laughed.

"Still acting so recklessly!"

The thunderclouds suddenly churned violently, and the eleventh tribulation of lightning was brewing. This time, it was a world-destroying lightning of yin and yang, intertwined in black and white!

The image of the Tathagata suddenly trembled on Vulture Peak.

"No! Back away!"

But it's too late.

Lin Zhu laughed loudly and soared into the sky, deliberately crashing into the World-Destroying Lightning.

"Just in time!"

Hahaha, this is what they call a heavenly tribulation? It's not even worthy of tickling me!

Lin Zhu laughed loudly, his purple Taoist robe fluttering in the strong wind.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the mountaintop, where lightning crackled wildly within a hundred feet, yet it couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

A bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, and he actually opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the lightning that was enough to flatten a mountain peak, and even smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction.

"Hiccup, the flavor is a bit weak. Old man of the Heavenly Dao, is that all you've got?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rolling clouds of calamity suddenly stopped, as if they had been enraged by those words and contracted violently.

The spiritual energy within a radius of a thousand miles converged wildly, and the tribulation clouds turned from purple to black, then from black to red, and finally presented a strange chaotic color.

The clouds were no longer filled with simple thunder, but with a mixture of hazy, chaotic air currents and transparent, knife-like ethereal winds.

"Oh? Are you angry?"

Lin Zhu raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with excitement.

"That's interesting."

The range of the calamity clouds expanded rapidly, covering the entire mountain range in the blink of an eye.

Chaotic divine lightning fell like rain, each bolt containing a destructive power capable of splitting the heavens and earth; the Void Wind swept by silently, shattering space inch by inch wherever it passed.

Such power would make even a Great Immortal retreat.

A thousand miles away, the four golden lights suddenly stopped.

"That's... the Chaos Calamity Clouds?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva formed the lotus mudra with his hands, his eyes gleaming with golden light. (End of Chapter)
