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

Lin Zhu laughed loudly and picked up the Fairy of Rainbow Skirt in his arms.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start now!"

"R-now?"

The Fairy in Rainbow Skirts exclaimed in surprise.

"it's here?"

"Why, can't it?"

Lin Zhu raised an eyebrow.

"This back garden is protected by an array, making it the perfect place to undergo tribulation."

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Crystal World.

Maitreya Buddha sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, smiling as he looked at the Medicine Buddha opposite him.

"Fellow Daoist, the Western Paradise is in peril!"

The Medicine Buddha frowned slightly.

"how do I say this?"

"When Lin Zhu obtained the God-Slaying Spear, the Heavenly Court's fortunes soared."

Maitreya Buddha still had a friendly smile, but his eyes held a cold glint.

"The Journey to the West plan is probably going to be canceled."

The Medicine Buddha pondered for a moment.

"Does the Buddha know about this?"

"The Buddha went into seclusion to meditate and temporarily withdrew from worldly affairs."

Maitreya Buddha sighed.

"Now we can only rely on ourselves."

The Medicine Buddha shook his head.

"Lin Zhu's strength is unfathomable, and he also possesses the God-Slaying Spear."

"So we need to start with the people around him."

A glint of light flashed in Maitreya Buddha's eyes.

"That Fairy of Rainbow Robes is about to undergo tribulation and break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which is the most vulnerable time for her."

The Medicine Buddha looked troubled.

"That's going too far."

"Too despicable?"

Maitreya Buddha smiled.

"What are these little tricks compared to the great cause of reaching the Western Paradise?"

The Medicine Buddha remained hesitant.

"But this will incur significant karmic consequences."

Maitreya Buddha snorted coldly.

"If you are unwilling to take action, I will handle it myself."

Having said that, he turned and stood up.

On the South China Sea, the vast expanse of blue waves reflects the sky and clouds.

Lin Zhu stood on the clouds, his clothes fluttering, while the fairy in white robes stood beside him, and beneath their feet was a rolling sea of ​​clouds.

Xiao Qiong sat on a lucky cloud, swinging her legs, with a spirit herb she had picked from who-knows-where dangling from her mouth.

"This is it."

Lin Zhu raised his hand and formed a hand seal, and a purple light burst forth from his fingertips, drawing a mysterious trajectory in the air.

In an instant, the clouds within a radius of a hundred miles began to slowly rotate, forming a huge vortex, as if summoned.

The fairy in the rainbow dress looked surprised in her beautiful eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is..."

"The place where the spiritual veins of the South China Sea converge is the most suitable place to forge the God-Slaying Spear."

Lin Zhu flipped his hand and took out a piece of jet-black spear tip, which was wrapped with a chilling aura.

"Back then, the Demon Ancestor Rahu wielded this spear and roamed the primordial world. Today, I will recreate its sharpness."

Xiao Qiong spat out the spirit herb and curiously poked the tip of the spear.

"Brother, this thing looks really fierce, even scarier than my Demon Emperor Sword."

Lin Zhu smiled and rubbed her head.

"Therefore, a special method is needed to refine it. But before that..."

He turned to the Fairy of the Rainbow Robes.

"First, help the fairy break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

The Fairy of Rainbow Skirts was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Didn't Fellow Daoist Lin say that we need to refine the God-Slaying Spear first?"

"Change of plans."

Lin Zhu smiled mysteriously and took out two fruits from his sleeve.

One piece shimmered with purple-gold, the other was pure and flawless purple, both radiating breathtaking spiritual energy.

"The purple-gold one will help you advance to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, while the purple one can directly break through to the Daluo realm."

"Is this the legendary Huangzhong Plum?"

The fairy in the rainbow dress trembled slightly.

"And the two top-tier ones?"

Xiao Qiong proudly puffed out her chest.

"Sister, don't make a fuss. My brother has a whole plum tree! I even picked a few to eat as snacks last time."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ni Chang nearly fell from the clouds, but fortunately Lin Zhu caught her in time.

Lin, Fellow Daoist Lin, what exactly is going on?

Lin Zhu waved his hand dismissively.

“Kunlun Mountain is also mine, so the fairy doesn’t need to worry about resources.”

He then handed her the purple-gold fruit.

"Let's get started now without further ado."

The fairy in the rainbow robes trembled slightly as she accepted the fruit.

She gave Lin Zhu a deep look, said nothing more, sat cross-legged, and put the fruit into her mouth.

In an instant, the color of the world changed!

The once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and lightning streaked through the clouds, forming a terrifying thundercloud that stretched for thirty miles in the blink of an eye.

Electricity crackled and thunder roared, as if the entire South China Sea was trembling.

Thirty miles of thunderclouds

Lin Zhu squinted.

"It seems the fairy is exceptionally talented."

Xiao Qiong jumped up and down excitedly.

Wow! This is much more spectacular than when that old man went through his tribulation last time!

The Fairy in Rainbow Robes was completely enveloped in a cocoon of purple-gold light, and her aura rose steadily.

Thunderclouds seemed to sense the provocation and began to brew an even more terrifying thunder.

Just then, Lin Zhu suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Qiong, it's your turn to make a move."

"what?"

Although Fairy Ni Chang was at a critical juncture in her breakthrough, she still managed to spare a thought and was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you must let Miss Xiao Qiong have her."

Xiao Qiong herself looked completely bewildered.

"Brother, what do you want me to do? Fight?"

Lin Zhu smiled mysteriously.

"Go and devour the lightning tribulation."

"what?!"

The Fairy of Rainbow Clothes almost went mad with evil spirits.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't joke. A tribulation of lightning is nothing like that."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Qiong cheered.

"okay!"

The petite figure soared into the sky, heading straight for the terrifying thunderclouds.

"return!"

Fairy Ni Chang was so anxious that she tried to get up, but Lin Zhu pressed her shoulder down.

"Fairy, please focus on your breakthrough. I, Xiao Qiong, know what I'm doing."

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes watched helplessly as the small figure flew into the thunderclouds, her eyes reddening with anxiety.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, how could you..."

Boom! A bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket struck Xiao Qiong, and Fairy Ni Chang closed her eyes in unbearable pain.

However, the expected scream did not occur; instead, a joyful shout was heard.

"good to eat!"

The Fairy of Rainbow Clothes suddenly opened her eyes and saw a colossal creature appear in the thunderclouds. A giant whale, entirely silver-white, stretched across the sky, its length unknown, and every scale was covered with ancient runes.

The giant whale opened its abyss-like maw and swallowed the thirty-mile-long thundercloud in one gulp!
"This is this"

The fairy in her rainbow dress was stunned.

Lin Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

"The Primordial Dragon Whale can devour the heavens and the earth. Xiao Qiong's ancestral dragon bloodline has been awakening quite well recently."

In the sky, the giant whale let out a satisfied burp, spewing out a few tiny sparks of electricity, before its body rapidly shrank, transforming back into the delicate, beautifully sculpted little girl and landing back beside Lin Zhu.

"Brother, this tribulation lightning tastes better than the last one!"

Xiao Qiong licked her lips, still wanting more.

The Fairy of Rainbow Garments was speechless. She looked at the little girl who had just swallowed the Heavenly Tribulation whole, now tugging at Lin Zhu's sleeve and begging for snacks. Her worldview completely collapsed.

Lin Zhu magically produced a handful of spirit fruits and stuffed them into Xiao Qiong's hands, then turned to Fairy Ni Chang and said...

"Now you can take the purple yellow plum."

The fairy in her flowing robes mechanically accepted the fruit and put it into her mouth.

This time, no more lightning tribulation descended, but her aura began to undergo a qualitative change, and the unique Daoist charm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal appeared around her.

Lin Zhu watched this scene with satisfaction, but in his heart he was planning something else.

"Quest to find the person who disrupted the Journey to the West's overall structure: the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation"

Xiao Qiong suddenly tugged at his clothes.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? You're smiling so sinisterly." "Nothing."

Lin Zhu snapped out of his thoughts and rubbed her head.

"I was just thinking, when your cultivation surpasses mine, shouldn't it be your turn to protect me?"

Xiao Qiong's eyes lit up.

"Then I want my brother to cook delicious food for me every day!"

Lin Zhu laughed.

"The girl is strong, and the boy is lying flat, right?"

"Take it."

Lin Zhu casually tossed the ancient and heavy seal, which traced an arc in the air.

Xiao Qiong's eyes lit up, and she reached out to catch it, immediately feeling a weight in her palm.

"This is... the Heaven-Turning Seal?"

Xiao Qiong looked at the magic weapon in his hand in surprise. The seal was entirely dark yellow, with the two ancient seal characters "Fan Tian" engraved on the bottom, and it faintly exuded the power to suppress all the heavens.

Lin Zhu smiled slightly.

"Indeed, it is the very magic weapon that Guang Chengzi used to smash Jin'ao Island back then. It is known for its power, and when combined with your Ancestral Dragon Divine Power, it should be able to unleash its full potential."

Xiao Qiong excitedly rubbed the seal, and the ancestral dragon bloodline within her seemed to sense something and began to boil.

With a thought, the Heaven-Turning Seal burst forth with dazzling light, hovering three inches above her palm and slowly rotating.

"Try it."

Lin Zhu stepped back a few steps and gestured for him to enter.

A glint flashed in Xiao Qiong's eyes, and she gave a soft shout.

"go with!"

The Heaven-Turning Seal flew out in response, growing larger in the wind and transforming into the size of a mountain in the blink of an eye. With the power to suppress heaven and earth, it crashed down on a desolate mountain in the distance.

With a deafening roar, the entire mountain was instantly leveled, dust billowed into the sky, the ground trembled violently, and shockwaves swept across an area of ​​ten miles.

"What a powerful force!"

The fairy in her flowing robes gasped in surprise, her wide sleeves fluttering wildly in the wind.

Lin Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right. With your current strength, dealing with Bodhisattvas of Manjushri and Samantabhadra's level shouldn't be a problem. However..."

He hesitated for a moment.

"If we were to encounter Guanyin Bodhisattva, we might be slightly inferior."

Xiao Qiong retracted the Heaven-Turning Seal, pouting unconvinced.

"Master underestimates me. Shall we try out my Ancestral Dragon Devouring Heaven Divine Power?"

Lin Zhu's eyes lit up.

"Right on my mind."

Suddenly, nine dragon-shaped phantoms appeared around Xiao Qiong, each one lifelike with scales and claws flying.

She formed a hand seal, and the nine dragon shadows merged into one, transforming into a giant golden dragon that stretched across the heavens and earth.

"Swallow the sky!"

The dragon opened its blood-red maw, and a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted.

The spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles was instantly drained, forming a visible vortex of spiritual energy.

Even more astonishingly, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, accompanied by thunder, indicating that a celestial tribulation had been forcibly summoned!
"This is... the Tribulation of the Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

The fairy in the rainbow robes turned pale and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Lin Zhu stood motionless, his eyes full of admiration.

"What a magnificent ancestral dragon devouring the heavens! It truly lives up to its name."

The golden dragon let out a long roar at the tribulation cloud, and actually swallowed the tribulation cloud, which contained the power of destruction, whole! The tribulation cloud churned violently in the dragon's belly, emitting muffled thunder, but it was quickly digested.

The dragon burped contentedly, exhaled a wisp of green smoke, and then transformed back into nine dragon shadows, returning to Xiao Qiong's body.

"How about it?"

Xiao Qiong proudly raised her chin.

Lin Zhu clapped and laughed.

"To directly devour the heavenly tribulation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, such a divine power is indeed remarkable."

He turned to the Fairy of the Rainbow Robes.

"See? With her here, you don't need to worry at all about your tribulation."

The fairy in the rainbow dress finally came to her senses, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

"Miss Xiaoqiong's strength is truly unfathomable."

Lin Zhu walked to her side and gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, you have successfully transcended the tribulation and are now a true Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"Have I really become a Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

The Fairy of Rainbow Clothes looked down at her hands, still somewhat incredulous.

She could feel the surging magical power within her body, a world of difference from what she had experienced in the Moon Palace.

"From a fairy maiden named Chang'e in the Moon Palace to a wandering immortal in the Three Realms, enjoying the freedom and status of a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

Lin Zhu smiled.

"How does it feel?"

Tears welled up in the eyes of the fairy in the rainbow dress.

"It's like a dream. I never imagined I would be where I am today."

Lin Zhu said gently.

"I'll rest for a moment; I'm going to start synthesizing the Godslayer Spear."

His expression suddenly turned serious.

"No matter what you see later, don't panic."

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes nodded and stepped aside to meditate and regulate her breathing.

Xiao Qiong curiously leaned closer.

"Master, is the God-Slaying Spear really as powerful as the legends say?"

"It will only get stronger."

Lin Zhu took out a brocade pouch from his sleeve, gave it a gentle shake, and seven streams of light shot out, hovering in mid-air.

Those were the seven parts of the God-Slaying Spear, each exuding a chilling aura.

Lin Zhu made a hand seal, about to cast a spell, when he saw the parts suddenly tremble on their own, generating a strong attraction between them.

"what?"

Lin Zhu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"It can actually repair itself? No wonder it's a rare treasure of the Heavenly Dao!"

The seven parts assembled automatically as if they were alive, the spearhead, the shaft, and the tassel all fitting together perfectly.

As the assembly progressed, the weather suddenly changed dramatically!

The once clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. These clouds were not just ordinary black, but a kind of all-consuming darkness, as if even light could not escape them.

In just a few breaths, darkness enveloped the entire South China Sea and rapidly spread outwards.

"This is this"

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes trembled all over; her cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal was as insignificant as an ant under this pressure.

She felt short of breath, her very soul trembling, as if she would be crushed into dust in the next instant.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qiong immediately unleashed his aura, with nine dragon shadows surrounding Fairy Ni Chang, forming a protective barrier.

"hold onto!"

she shouted.

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes finally caught her breath, but her face remained as pale as paper.

"Thank you. This pressure is terrifying."

Lin Zhu, however, remained oblivious to the changes around him, his eyes fixed intently on the gradually taking shape God-Slaying Spear.

As the last component was put in place, a blood-red lightning bolt ripped through the darkness, and the God-Slaying Spear was finally revealed in its entirety!
It was a long, jet-black spear, its shaft covered with blood-red patterns that pulsated like veins.

The tip of the gun exuded a palpable killing intent, so intense that just one glance was enough to pierce one's soul.

"it is good!"

Lin Zhu was overjoyed and reached out to grasp the gun barrel.

In an instant, the God-Slaying Spear erupted with a soaring crimson light, perfectly merging with Lin Zhu's aura.

With a casual swing, fine cracks appeared in the space where the spear tip passed!

"Even Chu Hao's Heaven-Covering Talisman couldn't stop this commotion."

Lin Zhu felt the power of the God-Slaying Spear and nodded in satisfaction.

"But it doesn't matter, we'll need it sooner or later anyway."

Meanwhile, inside the Lingxiao Palace of the Heavenly Court.

"Report!"

Venus rushed into the main hall in a panic, forgetting all about his usual decorum.

He staggered and knelt before the jade steps, panting heavily.

"Your Majesty! A Taiyi Golden Immortal lightning tribulation appeared in the lower realm, but it vanished in an instant!"

The Jade Emperor sat calmly on his dragon throne.

"I already know that Lin Zhu is helping Fairy Ni Chang overcome her tribulation."

Venus wiped the sweat from his forehead, but became even more panicked.

"That's not all! A vast demonic aura suddenly appeared in the sky above the South China Sea, covering more than 30,000 li, causing the sky and earth to lose their color and the sun and moon to lose their light! This old minister suspects... suspects that a great demon has descended upon the world!"

"what?"

The Jade Emperor finally changed color and straightened up from his dragon throne.

"Thirty thousand miles of demonic energy? Are you sure it's the South China Sea?"

"Absolutely true!"

Venus's voice trembled.

"The demonic energy is so dense that even the All-Seeing Eye cannot penetrate it! Your Majesty, should we send heavenly soldiers and generals to investigate?"

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly relaxed and sat back down on his dragon throne.

"No need."

"what?"

Venus was taken aback.

"But."

"With Lin Zhu in the South China Sea, I am at ease."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand, a smile even appearing on his lips.

"What big commotion has that kid caused this time?" (End of Chapter)
