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

The Jade Emperor was enraged, and the Investiture of the Gods shone with boundless brilliance. Three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods formed the Great Array of the Celestial Stars, and the power of the stars transformed into a cage to press down upon them.

Unexpectedly, the formless god and demon twisted and appeared simultaneously in every corner. The starlight chains pierced through nothing more than afterimages.

"not good."

Fuxi hastily unfurled the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams, and the innate Bagua formation enveloped the Bibo Pool. But the trigrams shattered inch by inch as soon as they were formed.

The formless demon god chuckled and said, "The Primordial Formation dares to trap me?"

Just as the star array was about to break, the Nine-Headed Insect suddenly revealed its nine heads. Each head spewed out its life essence blood, which condensed into a blood-red rune in the air.

The crimson talisman touched the formless demon god, causing the chaotic figure to freeze for the first time. Though only for a moment, it bought the Zhou Tian Star Array a chance to close.

Enraged, the formless demon god unleashed a gigantic palm of chaotic energy, striking the nine-headed worm. This palm strike contained the full power of a Dao Integration Realm expert, shattering the space in its path.

In the nick of time, a green shadow flashed by. Chen Xuan appeared without anyone noticing, and the Great Dao Water Law was activated.

As the laws and principles flowed, the colossal hand of chaos was drawn into the void. The aftershocks caused the waters of the Azure Pool to surge back three thousand feet.

“Fellow Daoist has overstepped his bounds.” Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, and the faint phantom of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Chaos Green Lotus appeared behind him.

For the first time, the formless god and demon retreated, and a hint of fear appeared in Wanxiang Chenxuan's eyes.

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuan lightly tapped his fingertip. The seemingly casual gesture caused the chaotic energy around the Formless Demon God to surge violently.

"Impossible, this is an illusion. How could your cultivation surpass Hongjun's?" Wuxiang God and Demon suddenly shouted, unwilling to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Chen Xuan frowned, and the laws of the Great Dao Sword condensed into a sword of laws. Wherever the sword light passed, cause and effect were severed. The Formless God and Demon let out a shrill scream, and its form began to dissipate.

"Hongjun, how dare you deceive me!" The venomous voice of the Formless Demon God echoed throughout the heavens and earth. His words were filled with resentment towards Hongjun.

The crisis was temporarily averted, but no one showed any joy. For the waters of the Azure Pool were turning pitch black, and countless aquatic creatures were turning into withered bones.

Chen Xuan sighed softly, and the Three Lights Divine Water instantly flew out from his palm, gradually clarifying the black water. But those lost lives could never return.

Chen Xuan turned to look at Li Shimin and said, "Third Prince Yulong, it's time to settle your karmic ties with Princess Wansheng."

"He humiliated you back then, now you will personally send her into the cycle of reincarnation. Settle the karmic entanglements between you."

Li Shimin nodded to Chen Xuan, then drew his sword and pierced Princess Wansheng's body. Princess Wansheng felt her life slipping away.

A hint of relief appeared in her eyes as she looked at Li Shimin. She could no longer hate the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon, whom she had once loathed so much.

In the final moments before his death, he whispered in Li Shimin's ear, "I will return, and I will take my revenge on you in another way."

Princess Wansheng's true spirit then headed directly towards the Netherworld.

Chen Xuan naturally saw all of this and, after a little deduction, he knew the cause and effect.

This made Chen Xuan think to himself, "Li Shimin's little rhinoceros is about to be born. Princess Wansheng's vengefulness is truly extraordinary."

Of course, Chen Xuan wouldn't do anything, after all, these were just minor matters. He then turned to look at Tang Sanzang and his disciples and spoke.

"Now that things are settled here, you should set off as soon as possible. Don't let other trivial matters delay your journey westward."

After speaking, Chen Xuan vanished from the spot. Everyone hurriedly bowed and paid their respects in the direction Chen Xuan had disappeared. Then, the Jade Emperor led the Heavenly Court gods back to Heaven. As for Li Shimin, he naturally went to accept the new territory.

The biggest beneficiary this time was actually the Jade Emperor. After all, the gods on the Investiture of the Gods list were almost out of his control.

But this battle allowed him to regain control. The gods' efforts over thousands of years had vanished in vain.

However, this was someone else's business for Tang Sanzang and his disciples. They were embarking on their journey to the West once again.

As they traveled along, some of the calamities in the original prehistoric conspiracy of the Journey to the West appeared only symbolically, while others did not appear at all.

On this day, the master and his disciples arrived at a secluded mountain. They could faintly hear the laughter of women in the distance.

After some investigation, they discovered that there were actually seven women bathing in the water. Overjoyed, they began to frolic and play in the water.

This inevitably brought a smile to Tang Sanzang's face, knowing that Sun Wukong's tribulation of love had arrived. He immediately spoke to Sun Wukong.

"Wukong, since they are demons, you should take them in. Or you can send them directly to the Northern Sea and hand them over to the demon master Kunpeng for disposal."

Sun Wukong, unsuspecting, nodded to Tang Sanzang. Then, carrying his golden cudgel, he went to subdue the demons.

The creatures frolicking in the water were seven spider demons from the Spider Cave. In the original prehistoric timeline, they certainly caused considerable trouble for the pilgrimage team.

In particular, their senior brother, the Yellow Flower Taoist, was the Multi-Eyed Centipede, one of the five ancient insects. Even Sun Wukong could not gain the upper hand against him.

However, the multi-eyed centipede has now been taken to the Netherworld Blood Sea by the Styx Ancestor. Now that it has become Tang Sanzang's fellow disciple, it naturally cannot cause trouble for the pilgrimage team anymore.

Logically speaking, these seven spider demons should have been easily defeated by Sun Wukong. At most, it would have been a bit of a hassle to send them to the Northern Sea.

However, Sun Wukong was unaware that the Spider Cave was now home to more than just seven spider demons. A fairy named Zixia also resided there, serving as the master of these seven spider demons.

Just as Sun Wukong approached the pool, before he could even raise his golden cudgel, the water suddenly boiled. The seven demonesses panicked and leaped onto the shore.

A beam of purple light descended from the sky, blocking Sun Wukong's path. The newcomer held a purple-green sword, his eyes filled with resentment, "Five hundred years have passed, and you are still as reckless as ever."

Sun Wukong stood there, stunned, his fiery eyes blinking repeatedly. The woman was surrounded by an aura of immortality; she was clearly a celestial being.

Pigsy leaned close to Tang Sanzang and whispered, "Master, this girl's gaze towards Brother Monkey is strange. Could it be that a creditor has come to collect a debt?"

Zixia Fairy's sword tip trembled slightly, "Do you still remember when you caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and stole the immortal peaches I carefully cultivated?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head and chuckled, "Old Sun has stolen too many peaches, how could I remember so many?"

The seven spider demons seized the opportunity to hide behind Zixia. The leader, a woman in red, said sweetly, "Master, it was he who bullied your disciple."

Sun Wukong suddenly realized, "So it was you who instigated these little demons to cause trouble here?"

Zixia sneered, "I am here in seclusion because they sincerely wanted to become my disciples. But you are still so indiscriminate."

Tang Sanzang shook his head and sighed, then chanted a Buddhist prayer. Pigsy sidled up to Fairy Zixia, his face full of gossip, and asked, "What is the connection between you and my Monkey King, Fairy?"

Zixia gazed at the figure in the air and said with a complicated expression, "Back then, he stole the longevity peaches I prepared for the Queen Mother in the Peach Garden."

"Finally, he even moved the entire Peach Garden to Flower Fruit Mountain. And I was taken away with him because of that." (End of Chapter)
