Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Looking at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord curled up in front of him, Chen Xuan said, "At the beginning of creation, there were five insects: the six-winged golden cicada, the blood-winged black mosquito, the multi-eyed centipede, the nine-tailed earth scorpion, and the nine-headed insect."

"Among them, the Bloodwing Black Mosquito was born in the Netherworld Blood Sea and now follows the River Styx. The other four insects, however, were obtained by the two Western monks."

"Jin Chanzi has been reincarnated and is preparing to complete the eastward transmission of Buddhism. Jiu Tou Chong is ordered by Buddhism to go to Bi Bo Tan to seduce the daughter of Wan Sheng Long Wang."

"The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion should have already gone to the Western Liang Women's Kingdom by now. As for you, the Multi-Eyed Centipede, you've been abandoned by Buddhism. Do you have anything to say about this?"

The multi-eyed centipede, which had been curled up, transformed back into human form, revealing itself to be a Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe.

He knelt before Chen Xuan, not daring to raise his head. After all, the pressure emanating from Chen Xuan was many times stronger than that of a saint.

He could only murmur in a terrified voice, "Vairocana Buddha promised me that after this matter was accomplished, he would make me a venerable one in Buddhism."

"He also promised Xiao Yao that he would personally come to her rescue in a critical moment and would never let her be in danger."

"However, to my surprise, even after I was captured alive by my senior, I still did not see Vairocana Buddha show up."

Chen Xuan sighed and said, "You've misunderstood Vairocana Buddha. Even if he wanted to come, he can no longer."

"If you have to blame someone, it's that he overestimated himself. In the end, he not only dragged you and Venerable Qingniu down with him, but he also lost his own life."

"Even if Vairocana Buddha does not perish, you and Venerable Qingniu are destined to take the blame for him. Even if you manage to survive, you will become pawns in their hands and perish in the great calamity to come."

"I captured you because I didn't want to just watch one of the five innate insects with innate advantages perish in the Journey to the West calamity."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan waved his hand directly at the multi-eyed centipede. A pure surge of Dao power shot directly towards the multi-eyed centipede, erasing the Buddhist imprint within its soul.

With the Buddhist mark erased, the multi-eyed centipede felt a sudden clarity in its mind. The feeling of being bound vanished in that instant.

"The mark that Buddhism left on you has been erased by me. Now you are free and can make your own choices."

"You can choose to return to Buddhism, or you can choose to go to the primordial wilderness and find a place to cultivate alone. I will not interfere with whichever you choose."

"However, if you choose to leave and cultivate alone, you must not do anything to harm others again. Otherwise, once I find out, I will definitely take action to destroy your soul and spirit."

The multi-eyed centipede didn't think Chen Xuan was trying to scare him. Every word Chen Xuan spoke was like a brand, deeply imprinted on his heart.

He kowtowed directly to Chen Xuan and said, "Although I do not know your identity, senior, I can sense that your identity is extraordinary."

"If I were to give up the opportunity to follow you, senior, it would be tantamount to missing out on a tremendous opportunity. Therefore, I implore you, senior, to allow me to stay by your side and cultivate."

"As long as you give me your instructions, I will do my best to fulfill them, even at the cost of my life."

The multi-eyed centipede has survived since the beginning of time, so it is absolutely impossible for it to be a person of little intelligence. Moreover, the fact that the multi-eyed centipede has reached the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm without cultivating the path of severing the three corpses is enough to prove its wisdom.

To abandon such a powerful figure and choose to return to Buddhism is a choice even a fool wouldn't make. As for finding a place to cultivate alone, that's even more impossible. After all, Buddhism failed to achieve its goal this time and will surely hold a grudge against him. Even if he finds a secluded place, Buddhism will inevitably come after him.

Once found by Buddhism, he would either be enslaved or have his soul destroyed. At the very least, he would be reborn into the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore, the multi-eyed centipede did not hesitate to choose to cling to Chen Xuan's coattails. After all, with such a powerful figure as its backer, its life would definitely not be in danger.

Upon hearing this from the multi-eyed centipede, Chen Xuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Since you don't even know who I am, how can you expect me to protect you?"

"Don't forget that there are two true Buddhas in Buddhism who cultivate in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss within the chaos. They are both Heavenly Saints."

The multi-eyed centipede truly didn't know who was in front of it. However, based on Chen Xuan's power in suppressing it, it could be confirmed that the other party was at least a saint.

In this primordial world, only the Sages of Humanity and Earthly Path would oppose the Two Buddhas of the West. After all, the Sages of Heavenly Path have long since colluded with them.

Therefore, the multi-eyed centipede knew perfectly well that the key to its survival was to stay by the side of someone who dared to oppose the Heavenly Saint.

He then kowtowed to Chen Xuan again and said, "Although I do not know your identity, senior, I do know one thing: you are definitely stronger than the two Western monks."

"Only by staying by your side, senior, can I avoid being killed and silenced by the two Western monks. Therefore, I beg you to take me in."

"If you are worried that I may have any ill intentions, I can swear to the Three Paths that I will be loyal to you for all eternity."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan waved his hand at the multi-eyed centipede, causing it to raise its head, which had been lowered.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I will let you know who I am and where you are now."

"This is Qinglian Island in the East Sea, and I am the master of this Qinglian Island, with the Daoist name Qinglian Daoist."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, the multi-eyed centipede nearly collapsed in shock. If one were to ask who was the most famous in the primordial world, it would undoubtedly be Hongjun of the Purple Cloud Palace.

However, if you were to ask who has ever beaten Hongjun, the only one in the prehistoric world would be Qinglian Daoren. Moreover, he beat Hongjun more than once.

After a brief moment of shock, the multi-eyed centipede was overjoyed. After all, by following the Green Lotus Daoist, he could truly roam freely in the prehistoric world.

He immediately bowed deeply to Chen Xuan again, saying, "This junior, the Many-Eyed Centipede, pays respects to the Azure Lotus Saint."

Chen Xuan waved his hand and helped him up. Then he pointed at the void, and a spatial rift instantly appeared in the Azure Lotus Palace.

The next moment, blood energy surged within the crack. A drop of blood god's offspring flew out from it, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into the true form of the Styx Ancestor.

The Styx Ancestor knelt down and respectfully bowed to Chen Xuan, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, helping the Styx Ancestor to his feet, and then said, "The Blood-Winged Black Mosquito has already become your disciple, so you might as well take on another multi-eyed centipede." (End of Chapter)
