Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 543 With cultivation below the level of a saint, he still managed to make a saint suffer a loss!

Like Kui Mulang, who transformed into the Yellow Robe Monster, or other monsters with backgrounds and connections.

When a person descends to the mortal realm and becomes a mountain king, they will not easily target the westward-bound group. Instead, they will often use various methods to make the westward-bound group form a karmic connection with them. This is how they become one of the eighty-one tribulations.

The Yellow Robe Monster's Wave Moon Cave was first entered by Tang Sanzang by mistake. As one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Kui Mulang didn't care at all whether he could eat Tang Sanzang's flesh.

It was Tang Sanzang who first gave up the Wave Moon Cave, and then took the initiative to get involved between Kui Mulang and Princess Baihuaxiu, which is why he encountered the Yellow Robe Monster.

On the journey westward, many of the calamities were somewhat similar to entrapment.

If Tang Sanzang and his companions had turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, they might not have suffered those calamities. However, even if they escaped this ordeal, they would surely have a backup plan.

The eighty-one tribulations are predetermined; as for who will be among them, that depends on their individual fate.

Princess Peacock is clearly one of the candidates for this kind of eighty-one tribulations.

If any difficulty arises or an oversight occurs on the journey to the west, then Princess Peacock will naturally become the replacement.

At this moment, the Golden-Winged Roc stood outside the Peacock Princess's cave. After lingering for a long time, it finally stamped its foot and entered the cave.

After arriving at the main hall of the cave dwelling.

The Golden-Winged Roc spotted the Peacock Princess reclining on the chaise lounge at a glance.

"Finally decided to come in?" Princess Peacock said with a hint of teasing as her beautiful eyes darted around.

Although she didn't mince words about pursuing the Golden-Winged Roc, there was indeed some cause and effect between the Peacock Princess and the Golden-Winged Roc.

The Golden-Winged Roc once kidnapped the Peacock Princess, intending to force her to marry him. However, he was knocked unconscious by the Peacock Princess's Peacock Fan.

But before that, the Peacock Princess's grandmother was the Peacock King Bodhisattva of the Western Paradise.

From this perspective, the Golden-Winged Roc can definitely be considered the Peacock Princess's maternal uncle.

What seems like the actions of the Golden-Winged Roc to be an utterly heinous internal strife was not considered such in ancient times.

Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Ying, even married his own niece as his empress.

Although she had once been almost forcibly married by the Golden-Winged Roc, the Peacock Princess and the Golden-Winged Roc were not exactly mortal enemies.

At most, they are relatives with different stances, and he is also a suitor.

Faced with the Peacock Princess's teasing, the Golden-Winged Roc blushed and forced himself to say, "Princess, I suffered a loss at the hands of Ruzhen Miaofa. This fellow even stole my Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle. Today I have come to visit you, wishing to borrow your magic weapon. Once I defeat Ruzhen Miaofa and retrieve the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, I will surely return your magic weapon to you intact."

Princess Peacock smiled gracefully, and with a peacock fan, she flew gracefully toward the Golden-Winged Roc, saying, "I only have this one magic weapon. Don't let Ruzhen Buddha take my peacock fan away, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed to ask Ruzhen Buddha for it back."

The Golden-Winged Roc was overjoyed and readily agreed.

After hastily accepting the peacock fan and thanking Princess Peacock, he left the cave and rushed towards Ruzhen Temple, determined to capture Luofu, seize his Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, and wash away the shame of almost being captured by Luofu.

After the Golden-Winged Roc departed, Princess Peacock let out a soft sigh.

He got up and went to a side hall Buddhist shrine.

The Buddhist hall is not large. Apart from an offering table, there is only a picture of the Peacock King Bodhisattva hanging behind the offering table.

She lit a few sticks of incense and placed them in the incense burner. The Peacock Princess then respectfully told the portrait about lending the peacock fan to the Golden-Winged Roc.

Clearly, the fact that Princess Peacock was so easy to talk to, and that she handed over the peacock fan to the Golden-Winged Roc without the slightest hesitation after he entered the room, suggests that there must have been other instructions on Mount Ling.

It could even be said that it was the Peacock King Bodhisattva who instructed the Peacock Princess to lend the peacock fan to the Garuda.

They had no idea that they had been reduced to mere tools.

After borrowing the fan from Princess Peacock, the Golden-Winged Roc didn't even bother to return to Lion Camel Ridge, but instead headed straight for Ruzhen Temple.

The green-haired lion demon and the yellow-tusked white elephant were only superficial brothers to the golden-winged roc, but did the golden-winged roc really respect the two bodhisattvas' mounts?

In the heart of the Golden-Winged Roc, he was the uncle of the Buddha, the first Roc created in the world. His origins and background inevitably made him somewhat contemptuous of the Green-Haired Lion Demon and the Yellow-Toothed White Elephant.

Moreover, although Lion Camel Ridge is full of monsters, the only truly decisive magic weapon is the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle of the Golden-Winged Roc. This makes the Golden-Winged Roc, who is the third brother in Lion Camel Ridge, have a much greater say than the Green-Haired Lion Demon and the Yellow-Toothed White Elephant combined.

Having lost its Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle to Luo Fu, the Golden-Winged Roc naturally wanted to personally reclaim its lost face.

As they flew all the way to Ruzhen Temple, the Golden-Winged Roc happened to encounter Luofu stepping out of the Divine Might World.

Holding high to the sky, looking down at the temple below.

The Golden-Winged Roc shouted fiercely, "Ruzhen Temple, quickly return my magic treasure, or I will wipe out your Ruzhen Temple today, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive."

The seven spider-like beings immediately recognized the Golden-Winged Roc.

Perhaps in terms of strength, aptitude, and so on, the seven spider-like beings are indeed nothing special, but in their previous lives they were princesses of the Heavenly Court in name only. Putting aside other matters, in terms of knowledge, they far surpassed other human demons. They even knew a lot about the secrets of some powerful beings because of their status.

Coincidentally, the Golden-Winged Roc, who was Buddha's uncle, was one of them.

Although the Buddha was swallowed whole by the peacock, in order to avoid coming out of the Peacock Valley, he had to break open the peacock's body and become the peacock's son in terms of ethics. He reluctantly acknowledged the peacock's identity and even bestowed upon her the title of Peacock Buddha Mother of the Western Paradise.

However, the Buddha rarely mentioned this matter.

On the contrary, the Golden-Winged Roc was arrogant and self-important, taking pride in its status.

At this moment, the Golden-Winged Roc came knocking on their door again.

Spider Jialan was initially alarmed, but when she realized that only the Golden-Winged Roc was there, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before Spider Garan could go and report,

Having completed the initial refinement of Yin and Yang energies, Luo Fu had already taken the initiative to greet them.

The moment the Golden-Winged Roc saw Luo Fu, it sensed the familiar fluctuations of innate Yin and Yang energies emanating from him.

The Golden-Winged Roc realized in an instant that Luo Fu had actually dismantled his Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, taken away the innate Yin-Yang Two Qi, and even refined it.

For the Golden-Winged Roc, this was practically NTR in person.

If it were simply that the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle fell into Luo Fu's hands.

Then the Golden-Winged Roc wouldn't be so angry.

After all, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle was one of the Golden-Winged Roc's masterpieces. Unlike the Peacock King, he didn't have the great perseverance to refine the five elements into the invincible Five-Colored Divine Light.

The Golden-Winged Roc, lacking perseverance and only able to take shortcuts, was actually aware to some extent that refining the Yin and Yang energies, which could be transformed into supernatural powers, into a Yin-Yang Energy Bottle was a waste of resources.

Since the beginning of time, only the peacock and the roc have had such opportunities as the two of them, being born with the five elements and the yin and yang energies.

Now Luofu has refined the Yin and Yang energies and combined them with his own essence, energy, and spirit.

To the Golden-Winged Roc, this was nothing short of a mockery.

Tolerable or unbearable.

This was even more unacceptable to the Golden-Winged Roc than Luofu directly destroying the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle.

"If this is truly a wondrous method, how dare you be so presumptuous!" With a furious roar, the Golden-Winged Roc seemed to have completely lost its mind, and summoned its halberd, attacking Luofu directly.

This time, the Golden-Winged Roc is clearly determined to fight Luofu to the death.

The fact that Luo Fu, the one who stole his Yin-Yang Qi Bottle, was able to refine the innate Yin-Yang Qi within it was a powerful mockery of the Golden-Winged Roc.

In the past, the Golden-Winged Roc could comfort itself with any reason.

For example, the innate Yin and Yang energies are different from the Five Elements energies, and one's own Yin and Yang energy bottle can also be used in wonderful ways, and so on.

But now, Luo Fu has utterly stripped away all the pretense and pretense of the Golden-Winged Roc.

It was a blatant reminder to him that he was a piece of trash, a piece of trash who could never compare to a peacock.

How could the Golden-Winged Roc possibly tolerate this?
Seeing the Golden-Winged Roc wielding a halberd charging towards him, Luo Fu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met it head-on with the Jade Void Palace Immortal Sword in one hand and the Yin-Yang Two Qi whisk in the other.

In the instant of close combat, the Jade Void Palace Immortal Sword was clearly no match for the Golden-Winged Roc's Halberd.

On the one hand, the halberd is a heavy weapon, a battlefield weapon capable of going head-to-head with Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang.

On the other hand, it was after Luo Fu refined the innate Yin and Yang energies in the Yin-Yang Two-Energy Bottle.

This whisk, forged by Laozi from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, seemed to have an unseen connection with Luofu. It felt like an extension of his own arm, or a tiger with wings. In Luofu's hands, the whisk became as light as a feather, sometimes as heavy as Mount Tai, sometimes as light as a feather. In a close encounter, it sent the Golden-Winged Roc flying backward in an instant.

Even the hands holding the halberd were shaken by the recoil, causing their blood and qi to surge and their arms to go numb.

After easing the discomfort in his arms in an instant, the Golden-Winged Roc stared at Luo Fu, abandoning his plan to confront Luo Fu head-on. With a flick of his hand, a brightly colored fan, seemingly crafted from peacock feathers, suddenly appeared in his grasp.

Peacock fan.

Although the Peacock Fan may not seem to be well-known, it is actually a precious fan that was crafted from the feathers of the Peacock King after he entered the Buddhist order of Mount Ling and became the Peacock King Bodhisattva. It was specially made for the Peacock Princess for her protection.

They didn't really make a name for themselves.

But that doesn't mean this precious fan is weak.

On the contrary, as the first peacock in the world, even ordinary feathers are supreme treasures for cultivators in the Three Realms. Even without being refined, a single feather has immense power.

Not to mention that it was forged into such a colorful and brightly colored precious fan.

The moment the Golden-Winged Roc took out the treasure fan, Luo Fu felt a sudden alarm and became cautious.

Heaven knows what trump cards the Golden-Winged Roc, as the Buddha's uncle in terms of rites and rituals, actually holds.

Especially the fan in his hand, which was clearly made of peacock feathers, made Luo Fu unable to help but associate this fan with the Peacock King Bodhisattva of the Western Paradise.

Kong Xuan was not someone to be trifled with. During the Investiture of the Gods, he single-handedly blocked the twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void Palace of the Chan Sect. Even the Sages were instantly swept away by his Five-Colored Divine Light.

Although, in the end, Zhunti Daoist broke through the Five-Colored Divine Light and escaped.

But that was not a fault of war.

The saying "below even a sage are but ants" is not just an empty phrase.

Kong Xuan is almost unique in that he managed to cause a loss to a saint despite his cultivation level being below that of a saint.

Even though he entered the Buddhist sect in the Western Paradise and became the Peacock King Bodhisattva, his cultivation level was genuine.

Even on Mount Ling, the Peacock King Bodhisattva is an extremely special being. Although he is called a Bodhisattva, he is more powerful than many Buddhas.

It's hard to say whether the Golden-Winged Roc sought help from the Peacock King Bodhisattva after losing the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle last time.

Having switched to the Peacock Fan, the Golden-Winged Roc's confidence surged instantly. After giving Luo Fu a sinister look, it waved the fan at him.

Green, yellow, red, black, white.

A five-colored wind, accompanied by the golden-winged roc waving its fan, swept towards Luofu.

The obvious five-colored wind immediately led Luo Fu to associate it with the five-colored divine light.

Without even thinking, Luo Fu's figure vanished directly into the Divine Might World, leaving only a phantom projection in the original spot.

Even so, when the five-colored wind swept over him, Luo Fu still felt a force that made his consciousness sink.

The Peacock Fan, although made from the feathers of the Peacock King.

However, it is far from comparable to the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The Peacock King Bodhisattva was at most an incarnation of Kong Xuan from back then.

In the Buddhist community of Lingshan, the peacock actually has two identities. One is that of the Buddha Mother who swallowed the World Honored One Tathagata and whose back was split open by the Tathagata. The other is that of the Peacock King Bodhisattva.

To be precise, this peacock fan is actually the feather of the Peacock Buddha Mother. Even if it has the power of the five elements, it is still far from being able to compete with the true five-colored divine light.

Luo Fu dodged the five-colored wind, but the monks with hair from Ruzhen Temple and the seven spider-like monks behind him were hit head-on by the wind.

Without even the slightest chance to resist, in the entire Ruzhen Temple, everyone except Luofu was instantly knocked unconscious by this five-colored wind.

The peacock fan failed to bring down Luofu, but the Golden-Winged Roc showed no hesitation. It channeled its magic power into the Peacock Fan and waved it at Luofu once more.

This time, the five-colored wind was clearly much stronger than before.

Even the buildings of Ruzhen Temple began to crumble under the strong winds.
