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

"Aba Aba."

The Emperor of Fengdu suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning. He pointed at Lin Zhu, then at Xiao Qiong, his lips trembling as he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

His face turned from red to white, then from white to green, and finally his eyes rolled back as he fell straight backward.

"boom!"

dusty.

"Oh!"

Xiao Qiong jumped off the rock and ran in a panic to the side of the Emperor of Fengdu.

"How did he faint? Even a Great Immortal can faint?"

Lin Zhu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"Xiao Qiong, haven't you just revealed the secret of the Star Palace?"

"secret?"

Xiao Qiong blinked her big eyes.

"What kind of secret is that?"

The Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao and the Holy Mother of Wudang surrounded them, and Yunxiao shook his head and sighed.

"Poor Emperor Fengdu, he was stabbed in the back without even realizing it."

Bixiao squatted down and poked the cheek of the Emperor of Fengdu.

"Was he overwhelmed by the allure of spiritual energy?"

"I think she's blinded by jealousy."

The Holy Mother of Wudang covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"The concentration of spiritual energy in Xingdou Palace is famous throughout the Three Realms. I just didn't expect that Xiao Qiong could actually mooch spiritual energy from Lin Zhu's dormitory."

Lin Zhu sighed and waved his hand to summon an auspicious cloud.

"Let's take him back first."

The main hall of Kunlun Mountain is magnificent, with jade pillars reaching the sky and gold bricks paving the floor, showcasing the luxurious style of the Chan Sect in those days.

Lin Zhu held the Seven Treasures Tree and gently brushed it, instantly making the main hall look brand new, even the dust in the corners disappeared without a trace.

"Well"

The Emperor of Fengdu slowly awoke, his face still showing a hint of disorientation and desolation.

He looked around, his gaze finally settling on Lin Zhu, his expression complex as if he had seen something incredible.

"woke up?"

Lin Zhu sat in the main seat, slowly sipping his tea.

The Emperor of Fengdu swallowed hard.

"That...the spiritual energy of the Star Palace"

"Stop."

Lin Zhu raised his hand to stop him.

"We'll talk about this later."

The Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao and the Holy Mother of Wudang took their seats in turn. Bixiao looked around excitedly.

"Lin Zhu, are we going to live here from now on?"

Lin Zhu nodded.

"Yes, let's use this as our base for now."

"Great!"

Bixiao jumped up to choose a room, but Yunxiao grabbed her and tapped her on the head.

"What's the rush? No manners."

Yunxiao rebuked.

The Emperor of Fengdu waved his hand.

"Do as you please, don't worry about me."

He said this, but his eyes kept glancing into the depths of the main hall, as if some rare treasure was hidden there.

Lin Zhu put down his teacup.

"It's getting late, let me take you home."

"what?"

The Emperor of Fengdu suddenly sat up straight, his eyes gleaming.

"Send me back? You mean you'll give me an apartment?"

Lin Zhu gave a half-smile.

"I mean, I'll send you back to Fengdu City."

The Emperor of Fengdu's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but he quickly managed to force a smile.

Actually, I think this place is pretty good.

"Are you abandoning Fengdu City?"

Lin Zhu raised an eyebrow.

The Emperor of Fengdu stammered.

"Um... the judge can temporarily take over."

Lin Zhu stood up and gestured for the guest to leave.

"please."

The Emperor of Fengdu slowly stood up, then suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and fell forward.

"My leg! My leg is broken!"

Xiao Qiong exclaimed in surprise.

"real or fake?"

Lin Zhu calmly took out a glittering golden pill from his sleeve.

"Da Huan Dan (Great Rejuvenation Elixir) is specially used to treat fractures."

The Emperor of Fengdu's "painful" expression froze instantly.

He sheepishly got up and dusted off his clothes.

"Uh, the pain suddenly stopped, that's amazing."

At this awkward moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside the Kunlun Mountains.

"Lin Zhu! Come out and face your death!"

The sound waves rolled on, causing the beams and pillars of the main hall to tremble slightly.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, but Lin Zhu remained calm as he sipped his tea.

"It is Vairocana Buddha!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang looked solemn.

"A Great Golden Immortal of the Western Sect!"

The Emperor of Fengdu turned deathly pale.

"It's over, it's really over now."

"Lin Zhu, quickly hide!"

Lin Zhu put down his teacup, the bottom of which made a crisp "ding" sound as it hit the table.

He looked up at the outside of the hall, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"It's not a big problem."

What do you mean by "not a big problem"?

The Emperor of Fengdu was so anxious he was jumping up and down.

"That's a Grand Luo Golden Immortal! Are you crazy?"

Lin Zhu slowly rose to his feet, his robes fluttering even without wind.

"Perfect timing, let's go slaughter a big Luo for fun."

The Emperor of Fengdu stared in disbelief, then a sinister glint appeared in his eyes.

He secretly made his plans.

Why not take this opportunity to offer Lin Zhu to the Western Church?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he shook his head violently.

No, no, the spiritual energy of the Star Palace... that's a treasure trove that even saints covet!
"Lin Zhu!"

The roar from outside the mountain came again, this time even more violent.

"If you don't come out now, I'll destroy this Kunlun Mountain!"

The Emperor of Fengdu gritted his teeth and caught up with Lin Zhu, who had already walked out of the palace.

"Wait! I'll go with you!"

At the summit of Kunlun, a sea of ​​clouds surges.

Vairocana Buddha stands on a golden lotus, suspended high in the sky, his eyes gleaming with golden light as he looks down at the majestic mountains below.

The prayer beads in his hand spun faster and faster unconsciously, revealing his inner shock and greed.

"how can that be"

The entire Kunlun Mountains were shrouded in a rainbow of light, and the spiritual energy in the mountains was so rich that it condensed into crystals and fell like snowflakes.

Each crystal of spiritual energy that lands on the ground will trigger a small-scale surge of spiritual energy, causing vegetation to grow wildly and spirit beasts to cry out joyfully.

Even more astonishingly, nine golden dragons of fortune hovered above the mountain range, each three times thicker than the golden dragon of fortune in the Heavenly Court's Lingxiao Palace.

"A spiritual vein erupting? No. Even if an ancient spiritual vein were to revive, it couldn't possibly produce such a spectacle."

The look of greed in Vairocana Buddha's eyes grew stronger.

"Could it be the birth of a supreme innate treasure?"

He pondered that if he could monopolize this mountain and cultivate with its abundant fortune and spiritual energy, he might be able to break through the shackles and reach a realm that even the Buddha had never reached.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a ferocious smile that was completely inconsistent with the purity of Buddhism.

"This mountain should rightfully belong to this Buddha!"

Just as he was about to unleash the Buddha's light and forcibly occupy Kunlun Mountain, the clouds on the mountaintop suddenly parted, and a lazy figure slowly rose up, yawning.

"Who's the idiot who disturbed my sweet dreams so early in the morning?"

The sound was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the clouds and reached the ears of Vairocana Buddha.

He looked closely and saw a young man in a blue robe standing in mid-air, his hair disheveled and his eyes still sleepy, looking like he hadn't woken up properly. "Lin Zhu!"

Vairocana Buddha's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face instantly turned ashen.

Lin Zhu rubbed his eyes and finally saw who it was. A mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Who do we have here? It's the old flame of the Buddha of Joy. What, you've come to seek revenge?"

"presumptuous!"

Vairocana Buddha roared angrily, his voice like thunder.

"You killed my disciple and destroyed the Buddha of Delight and Joy, your sins are beyond measure! Today, I, the Buddha, will tear you to pieces and extract your soul!"

Lin Zhu picked at his ear, looking disgusted.

"Keep your voice down, it's so early in the morning, you're disturbing my pets."

As he spoke, a fluffy white beast emerged from his sleeve. It was only the size of a palm, yet it had nine tails. It was none other than the legendary nine-tailed celestial fox cub, Xiao Qiong.

The little guy chirped in dissatisfaction and burrowed back into Lin Zhu's sleeve.

Upon seeing this, Vairocana Buddha was filled with surprise and doubt.

He had assumed that Lin Zhu must have laid an ambush, but when he scanned the area within a hundred miles with his divine sense, he found nothing unusual.

This made him even more vigilant. Something unusual must be going on.

"What, are you afraid, Vairocana Buddha?"

Lin Zhu yawned.

"Why don't you call your other apprentice over too? The last one was too weak; he was defeated in three moves."

"Insanity!"

Vairocana Buddha sneered.

"You think that just because you've brought in help, I, the Buddha, will be afraid of you?"

Lin Zhu looked completely bewildered.

"What helper?"

Just then, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, spreading an eerie and ghostly aura.

A middle-aged man wearing a crown and a black imperial robe stepped through the air; he was none other than the Emperor of Fengdu.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I, the Emperor, am here to lend you a hand!"

The Emperor of Fengdu spoke with righteous indignation, but in his heart he was plotting something. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could take this opportunity to get Lin Zhu to allocate a few cultivation rooms for him in Kunlun Mountain?

Lin Zhu waved his hand dismissively.

"Get out of my way, I have Xiao Qiong, that's enough for me."

The Emperor of Fengdu looked completely bewildered.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this..."

"Can't you understand people?"

Lin Zhu rolled her eyes.

"The people my Xiaoqiong killed are mine too. You don't need to interfere."

The Emperor of Fengdu was rebuffed and retreated to the side in embarrassment, cursing Lin Zhu inwardly for being ungrateful.

Vairocana Buddha was stunned by what he saw, and then he sneered.

"Playing tricks! Lin Zhu, do you dare to challenge this Buddha to a duel?"

"Let's fight alone"

Just as Lin Zhu was about to agree, three beautiful figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

"Vairocana, have you no shame?!"

The leader, Fairy Yunxiao, angrily rebuked, and the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron in her hand shone brightly.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao followed closely behind, the three fairies of the three heavens standing side by side, protecting Lin Zhu behind them.

Immediately afterward, another figure landed, none other than the Holy Mother Wudang, one of the four great disciples of the Jie Sect.

"Vairocana, you have betrayed the Daoist sect and sided with the West. How dare you come to Kunlun to cause trouble today?"

"The Holy Mother of Wudang said coldly."

"Today we will cleanse our master's house!"

When Vairocana Buddha saw the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds protecting Lin Zhu, his eyes burned with jealousy.

"Sanxiao, you actually oppose this Buddha for the sake of this brat?"

Bixiao, being the most impatient, immediately cursed.

"Bah! Brother Lin is a hundred times better than you, what are you anyway!"

"good very good!"

Vairocana Buddha, enraged, laughed instead.

"Sanxiao, I will ask you one last time: are you willing to become my Daoist partners? If you agree, I will let this brat go today."

"Have your spring and autumn dreams!"

The three immortals shouted angrily in unison.

Lin Zhu, listening from behind, kept shaking his head.

"Old bald monk, your skill in undermining others is far inferior to your Buddhist teachings."

Vairocana Buddha finally flew into a rage.

"Lin Zhu! Do you dare to fight this Buddha to the death? It's a fight to the death!"

The atmosphere solidified instantly.

The laziness on Lin Zhu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a stern expression.

He gently pushed aside the three fairy maidens blocking his way and walked to the front.

"You all stand down."

His voice was calm, yet undeniable.

"Brother Lin!"

Bixiao was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

"That bald monk is very cunning, don't fall for his tricks!"

Yunxiao also offered his advice.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, if we join forces, we will surely succeed."

"No need."

Lin Zhu shook his head, his gaze resolute.

"As a man, there are some things I must face myself. If I were to hide behind you today, how could I, Lin Zhu, have the face to stand between heaven and earth?"

The Holy Mother of Wudang gave Lin Zhu a deep look and sighed softly.

"Let's all go back."

Although the Three Immortal Maidens were extremely unwilling, seeing that Lin Zhu had made up his mind, they could only retreat to the side with tears in their eyes.

"Lin Zhu! You're nothing but a callow youth, what makes you think you've won the favor of the Three Immortal Maidens!"

The five-petaled crown on Vairocana Buddha's head trembled violently, and wisps of black energy mixed in with the golden Buddha light. His originally dignified face was now distorted like a demon from hell.

He stared intently at the young man in the blue robe opposite him, the jealousy in his eyes almost tangible.

Lin Zhu stood with his hands behind his back, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.

"Oh? Didn't Vairocana Buddha already explain the reason? Handsome, dashing, talented, and young."

He deliberately dragged out the tone.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing you didn't mention: I'm not the kind of person who would betray my sect for power."

"presumptuous!"

Vairocana Buddha roared, and his body radiated a burst of Buddha light.

"Today I will show you what the Buddha's wrath truly means!"

He suddenly pulled a bright green gourd from his sleeve. The gourd's surface was covered with strange black patterns. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding space was filled with a sour and putrid smell, and even the air began to distort.

"Sour water hyacinth!"

The Emperor of Fengdu, who was watching the battle from afar, suddenly changed his expression.

"This is Vairocana's companion magic weapon, which melted the body of a Golden Immortal during the Investiture of the Gods! Young friend Lin, be careful!"

With a sinister grin, Vairocana Buddha pulled out the gourd stopper.

"Lin Zhu, it's your good fortune to die under this humble monk's gourd!"

He suddenly tilted the gourd's mouth.

"A bottomless pit of acid, melting the heavens and earth!"

In an instant, a jet-black liquid gushed out from the gourd, and wherever the liquid passed, even the space itself was corroded and cracked.

The acid water transformed into a ferocious black dragon, which opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Lin Zhu!

"Young Master Lin!"

Fairy Qiongxiao exclaimed in surprise, and was about to unleash the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron in her hand.

However, Lin Zhu remained calm and did not even move an inch.

He simply raised his right hand, and a blood-red gourd appeared out of thin air, spewing out a cloud of red sand that formed an indestructible barrier in front of him.

"The Nine-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Scattering Gourd?!" Vairocana Buddha's pupils shrank sharply.

"How can this be!"

The black acid water crashed against the red sand barrier, making a hissing corrosion sound, but it could not break through.

Even more shockingly, the red sand began to roll back, gradually enveloping and swallowing the acid water!

"Your sour gourd is indeed extraordinary."

Lin Zhu said calmly.

"Too bad you've run into my Soul-Scattering Gourd. Red Sand can overcome all poisons, so you'd better put away your little tricks."

Vairocana Buddha's face turned ashen. He never expected that his most treasured magic weapon would be so easily neutralized by the other party.

But at that moment, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Lin Zhu! You think this is the end of it?"

Almost at the same moment, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared in the sky, and countless golden feathers pierced through the air like sharp swords, each one carrying a piercing shriek, moving at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye!

"It's the Golden Roc Sword Feather of the Winged Immortal!"

"The Fairy of Azure Clouds cried out in disbelief!" (End of Chapter)
