Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

night!
At the foot of Mount Sumeru, Zhang Xiaofan, along with Jin Ping'er, You Ji, and Qinglong, returned once again.

Seeing this, Jin Ping'er asked curiously:
"What are you doing back at Tianyin Temple?"

Zhang Xiaofan replied:
"The night was dark and the wind was high; it was the perfect night for murder."

"A night of murder?" Jin Ping'er murmured, asking:

"Who are you going to kill?"

"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaofan chuckled and said:

"Actually, it's not about killing him, but about capturing the monk Pukong alive and bringing him back to the Ghost King Sect for Biyao to deal with."

"Oh!" Jin Ping'er exclaimed, recalling a rumor she had heard.

About twenty years ago, the monk Pukong caused the Six Fox Cave on Fox Hill to collapse, which ultimately led to the death of the Ghost King's wife.

It seems that Zhang Xiaofan did this for Biyao.

He truly is a good man, always thinking of Biyao's best interests, even though this action would completely offend Tianyin Temple.

Ugh!
Jin Ping'er sighed. If she had known how deeply Zhang Xiaofan loved her, she should have joined her master, Madam Sanmiao, in attacking the Demonic Sect when it attacked Qingyun Mountain, and then brought Zhang Xiaofan back to the Huan Sect.

Unfortunately, hindsight is always 20/20.

In the future, she is determined to make Zhang Xiaofan her husband.

Moreover, she felt certain.

Since no one has ever become an immortal in thousands of years, it is certainly impossible for Zhang Xiaofan to do so either.

Fifty years later, Zhang Xiaofan will fulfill his promise and help her conquer the world.

When the time comes, they will naturally get married.

Just thinking about it makes me so happy.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the dazed Jin Ping'er, shook his head, and then disappeared into the darkness.

By the time Jin Ping'er realized what was happening, Zhang Xiaofan was already gone.

So Jin Ping'er quickly said:
"Wait, I'll go with you. We can look out for each other and recreate the glory of our night raid on Incense Valley."

Having said that, Jin Ping'er activated her magic power, and with a slender, beautiful leg, she stomped...

"and many more!"

At that moment, the Azure Dragon's voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ping'er stopped and looked at Qinglong.

Azure Dragon immediately said:

"When the deputy sect leader first arrived at Tianyin Temple, he had already found out where the monk Pukong lived."

"With his skill, he can surely bring Pukong back quietly. But if you go with him, you might alert him, and then it will be difficult to leave."

Upon hearing this, Jin Ping'er thought about it and felt that it made some sense. So she lightly leaped to a tree and sat down, gazing at Mount Sumeru.

However, Jin Ping'er suddenly thought of something and muttered to herself:
"He found out where the Venerable Monk Pukong was staying as soon as he arrived at Tianyin Temple, doesn't that mean that when he decided to escort Master Puhong and his party back to Tianyin Temple, Zhang Xiaofan was already plotting to capture the Venerable Monk Pukong alive..."

"I knew it! This guy never does anything without a reason. Why would he be so kind as to escort Master Puhong and his group back to Tianyin Temple? Turns out he had ulterior motives..."

.........

Zhang Xiaofan floated among Mount Sumeru like a ghost, and no one noticed his figure.

Since obtaining the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book and undergoing the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, he has been reborn once again.

His fully-formed demonic body was already exceptionally tough, far surpassing that of ancient divine beasts.

After experiencing the Heavenly Punishment Thunder, his physique became even stronger, almost equivalent to that of an immortal.

Moreover, his cultivation has now reached the fifth level of Taiqing once again. All told, in just three months since he broke through to the Taiqing realm in the Southern Frontier, he has now broken through four levels and reached the fifth level of Taiqing.

For most cultivators, the further they progress in their cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and the slower their progress becomes, sometimes even to the point of no progress at all.

When it came to Zhang Xiaofan, the speed at which it hit zero was getting faster and faster.

This is not only due to the magic of the Heavenly Book, but also to his many extraordinary encounters, such as the opportunity presented by the Heavenly Punishment Thunder.

Although it was a death calamity, it was also a great opportunity. Now, with his fully formed demon god body, he also possessed the divine power of Heavenly Punishment Thunder.

Zhang Xiaofan opened his hand, and a bolt of lightning appeared in his palm, crackling softly.

Don't be fooled by its seemingly insignificant appearance when held in the palm of your hand; it's only because Zhang Xiaofan hasn't yet unleashed his attack.

Once unleashed, it will be a devastating weapon.

Zhang Xiaofan clenched his fist, collected the Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning, and then transformed into afterimages, rapidly traversing Mount Sumeru.

As one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, Pukong held a transcendent position in the temple and therefore lived alone on a small hill on Mount Sumeru.

Meanwhile, a separate Zen monastery was set up here, with several meditation rooms inside, and the monk Pukong lived in one of the middle meditation rooms.

Inside the meditation room, a candle burns, bringing a sliver of light to the entire space.

However, the meditation room still appeared somewhat dim.

In the center of the meditation room, the monk Pukong sat cross-legged on a futon, his eyes closed, surrounded by golden light, practicing the Great Brahma Prajna.

The monk Pukong was already quite large, comparable in size to the stone of the Vajra Gate.

Moreover, the monk Pukong was even more accomplished in his spiritual practice, with thick black eyebrows and a middle-aged appearance, looking like an angry Vajra.

Suddenly, an ancient and precious mirror appeared above the entire Zen temple, emitting a black light that enveloped the entire temple.

"Who?"

Almost at the same moment, the monk Pukong quickly stopped his practice, opened his eyes, and stood up, his tiger-like eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

The next moment, the door to the meditation room suddenly opened, and a tall figure stood in the darkness.

The candlelight was dim, but one could still clearly see that the person was wearing a cassock, had long, blood-red hair, and a demonic mark on his forehead.

"Zhang Xiaofan!"

The monk Pukong's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Didn't you leave Tianyin Temple? Why did you suddenly break into my Tianyin Temple at night?"

Zhang Xiaofan walked in slowly, his hands behind his back, his sharp eyes fixed on Pu Kong, and said:

“I cannot rest easy until I kill you. So I have returned.”

"Kill me?" Monk Pukong was shocked. He hadn't expected Zhang Xiaofan to want to kill him.

However, after a moment's thought, he understood the reason. Biyao was Zhang Xiaofan's wife, so he must have come to avenge Biyao's mother. His brows furrowed, and he shouted:
"presumptuous!"

“Although you have reached the supreme realm of Taiqing, this is Tianyin Temple, one of the three major righteous sects. I only need to shout, and more than a thousand people from Tianyin Temple will immediately arrive and surround and kill you here.”

"However, I, the Venerable Monk Pukong, am kind-hearted and will let you go today. Now get lost."

"Haha..." Zhang Xiaofan laughed twice and said:

"You're being so kind?"

"I simply thought that even if I shouted, it would take Master Puhong and the others time to arrive, which would be enough time for me to kill you here."

Upon hearing this, the monk Pukong's expression remained unchanged; he feigned composure and said:
"You mere brat, you've only been cultivating for a little over ten years. Do you think I, the Divine Monk Pukong, would be afraid of you?"

"Believe it or not, I will roar right now and surround and kill you here today, ridding the world of this demon."

Zhang Xiaofan spread his hands out with one hand and said:
"Since that's the case, go ahead and scream. Even if you scream until your throat is hoarse, no one will come to save you today."
