I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 257 What?! Luo Jiuxi is going to have a baby with Jiang Chuan?!

The mountain peaks are lush and green, and five magnificent palaces are located halfway up the mountain. A silver waterfall cascades down from the top of the mountain and falls into a clear blue lake like a mirror.

"This is my cave, where I practice on weekdays."

Luo Jiuxi said this and led Jiang Chuan to one of the palaces.

The palace is paved with crystal-clear jade, and in the center of the palace there is a square silver platform.

The Daotai appears to be cast from molten silver, with four mythical beasts carved on its surface: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

The great Dao lines were like ray after ray of fairy mist, imprinted on the silver Dao platform, adding a sense of mystery and depth to the already exquisite Dao platform.

"This is the platform where the Immortal King Ni Ming attained enlightenment. In the past, the Immortal King Ni Ming once said that if you protect the standard of the Tao, you will gain its blessing."

As Luo Jiuxi spoke, the immortal bell in his hand turned into a ray of silver light and fell onto the Taoist platform.

"If you take out the Dao Marker, you should be able to use the Dao Platform and the Immortal Bell to obtain the fortune bestowed by the Immortal King Ni Ming."

Jiang Chuan then took out a wooden table engraved with the words "Ni Ming" from the storage space.

hum!hum!hum!
The moment the wooden table appeared, the words "Ni Ming" (Defy Fate) on the table seemed to come alive.

Wisps of fairy light rose up.

clang!
The sound of the bell that pierces gold and splits stone rang again.

The sound of chanting scriptures suddenly sounded out of nowhere, like a real immortal preaching, or like an ancient Buddha chanting, grand and loud.

The Dao rules imprinted on the Dao platform rose up and formed a silver-white light gate.

The light gate seemed to lead to a long time ago, when many scenes such as celestial demons appeared in the sky, humans and demons fought for supremacy, and the magnificent immortal gate emerged one by one.

When all the scenes disappeared, a man with gray hair appeared in Jiangchuan's eyes.

The man was wearing Four Symbols Immortal Clothes, his forehead was full, his gray hair was draped over his shoulders, and his tall body was as majestic as a mountain supporting the sky. Anyone who saw the man for the first time would feel insignificant.

The eyes of a man who should have made the gods tremble and the immortals bow their heads were filled with sadness, as if he had buried countless pains and sorrows.

"Is this the true appearance of the Immortal King who defies fate?"

In the simulation, because there was no Taoist platform, Jiang Chuan only saw a vague shadow. Now, relying on the Taoist platform left by the Immortal King Ni Ming, Jiang Chuan finally got a glimpse of the elegance of this famous Immortal King of ancient and modern times.

The Immortal King Ni Ming lowered his eyes, his gaze seemed to transcend eternity of time and space, looking at Jiang Chuan and Luo Jiuxi.

"The heir of the Future Buddha has inherited the teachings of Taoist Zhuzhao and Demon Lord Anyu. Huh? He's even learned the One Yuan Sword Technique. With so much good fortune gathered in one person, it seems the Qingyuan Realm is about to become Qingwei Heaven once again."

"One of you protected my Dao sign, and the other obtained my weapon. Both of you are destined to be with me. I have a great fortune to give you, but the prerequisite is that you do something for me."

"I wonder what Senior Niming wants us to do?" Luo Jiuxi asked.

"Have a baby."

The voice of the Immortal King Ni Ming was not loud, but it was like a hundred thousand thunders exploding in Luo Jiuxi's ears, shocking Luo Jiuxi.

"Let me and Jiang Chuan have a baby?!!"

Jiang Chuan was also shocked at this time. He had never expected that the Immortal King who defies fate would make such an outrageous request.

Patriarch Ziyun looked at Jiangchuan and then at Luo Jiuxi.

"The great fortune the Immortal King mentioned must be a great opportunity that ordinary cultivators would never get in a thousand lifetimes. What's so special about you? Why can you get it just by having a child?"

"They are indeed different from ordinary people, but the more important thing is that they are all from the Qingyuan Realm."

The one who answered the Purple Cloud Ancestor was the Immortal King Ni Ming.

"The union of the two worlds is a great opportunity, a great fortune. Even I, an Immortal King, would be tempted. If I could gain the favor of the Origin, the possibility of obtaining this great fortune would increase."

Jiang Chuan suddenly understood why the Immortal King Ni Ming wanted him to have a child with Luo Jiuxi.

If the Qingyuan Realm is compared to a mother, then the creatures born in the Qingyuan Realm are her offspring.

As a mother, she may be partial, but she is partial to her own children, not to outsiders.

If the Immortal King Ni Ming wants to be favored by the Origin, he must become a 'person of the Qingyuan Realm'.

The simplest way is to take over a life, or to let your own soul reincarnate into the Qingyuan Realm.

"I will not have children with Jiang Chuan." Luo Jiuxi refused directly.

The Immortal King Ni Ming did not say a word, but just raised his hand and summoned a magical flower.

The magical flower is three feet tall, its roots are red as if burning flames, but its branches and leaves are emerald green, as crystal clear as jade.

At the top is not a blooming flower, but a flying crane with a pure white body and a fiery red crown.

The moment he saw the divine flower, a desire emerged in Jiangchuan's heart.

eat!
I really want to eat it!
"This is an elixir I got from the ruins of Heaven. It's called the Heavenly Crane Flower." The Immortal King Ni Ming spoke again.

Is this the legendary Crane Flower, the supreme elixir cultivated from the Qing Emperor's flesh and blood when he exterminated the ancestor of the Crane Clan?! " Luo Jiuxi stared intently at the Crane Flower in the hands of the Immortal King Ni Ming.

"The Crane Flower matures once every 90,000 years. Its medicinal power is comparable to that of ordinary Immortal King Pills, and it can also be used as the main ingredient for Immortal Emperor Pills. Its medicinal power is so great that it is rarely seen in ancient and modern times."

Immortal King Ni Ming slowly said, "If you can obtain the Crane Flower and use the Dark Yu Demon Lord's Demon Embryo Transformation Sutra to absorb its medicinal power and transform it, your physical body and spirit will be transformed to the level of a True Immortal."

Not inferior to a true immortal!
Jiang Chuan was surprised. He didn't expect the medicinal power of Tianhe Flower to be so amazing!
How difficult is it to achieve True Immortal?!

Jiang Chuan simulated so many times, crossing the vast starry sky and walking through one star field after another.

The true immortals and celestial demons that he had seen were either the regrettable remains of Daoist Fellow Yun Miao, suppressed celestial demons like Huang Chong, or dying celestial demons like Demon Lord Redemption.

Shen Nanxing is comparable to a true immortal, but she is not a true immortal after all!

From this we can see how difficult it is to become a true immortal!
"Jiangchuan, quickly agree to the Immortal King's request! Throughout history, most of the immortals have died in the immortal tribulation."

Ancestor Ziyun's eyes lit up and his saliva was almost flowing out.

"If your soul and body are not inferior to those of a True Immortal, then you should be able to easily overcome the tribulation of becoming an Immortal!"

"I"

"I disagree."

Luo Jiuxi clenched his hands, his eyes full of determination.

"Our ancestor, Fairy Taisu, once rejected the pursuits of several Immortal Kings and an Immortal Emperor, seeking the truth on her own and ascending to heaven. As a descendant, I naturally should follow her example."

Jiang Chuan swallowed the words he hadn't said yet.

"Since you have made your decision, I will follow your lead. I just hope you won't regret it later."

The Immortal King Ni Ming took a deep look at Luo Jiuxi and Jiang Chuan, and the broken immortal bell made a slight clang sound again.

Fairy light filled the sky and sprinkled down from the silver bell, transforming into two silver bells half a person's height that flew towards Jiangchuan and Luo Jiuxi.

"If you regret it, you can use my immortal bell and Taoist platform to find me again."

As he opened his mouth, the light gate turned into a rain of light that kept falling. When the last word fell, the figure of the Immortal King Ni Ming disappeared from the eyes of Jiang Chuan and Luo Jiuxi along with the light gate.

Looking at the phantom of the immortal bell that was branded with the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King who defies fate, Jiang Chuan's eyes flashed with excitement. After waving his sleeves to put away the phantom of the immortal bell, Jiang Chuan prepared to say goodbye to Luo Jiuxi.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I..."

"I won't have a baby with you!" Luo Jiuxi raised her eyebrows and clenched her teeth.

"Jiang Chuan, you want to have a baby with the Palace Master?!!" A scream full of surprise interrupted their conversation.

Meng Luoshu, with her face covered with a veil, appeared at the palace gate at some point.

"I didn't say that I wanted to have a baby with Fellow Daoist Luo. She just had the wrong idea!" Jiang Chuan hurriedly denied.

Master Jiang has already taken enough blame, and he doesn't want to take on another one.

"Palace Master, you can't have children with Jiang Chuan! Otherwise, Jiang Chuan will really become my elder in the future!" Meng Luoshu pleaded.

Jiangchuan: "."

So, you don’t care at all whether Luo Jiuxi has children or not. You care that I cannot be your elder.

Xiao Meng, the Taisu Fairy Palace has a disciple like you. It’s really the blessing of the Taisu Fairy that we are not dead!
Luo Jiuxi's eyes were blazing with fire, and he spoke word by word: "Stop talking nonsense! What are you doing here?!"

"Abbot Kongming and others are leaving Taisu Immortal Palace and returning to Bodhi Temple. The deputy palace master asked me to call Jiangchuan to leave with them." Meng Luoshu turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Luo Jiuxi.

"If today's events get to someone else, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As Luo Jiuxi spoke, he shifted his gaze from Meng Luoshu to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan and Luo Jiuxi looked at each other and said, "I, Jiang, don't want my reputation to be tarnished!"

"Haven't you become notorious a long time ago?" Meng Luoshu asked back.

Jiangchuan: "."

You are notorious!

Your whole family is infamous!

It was Zhuo Yunsheng who said that I was having an affair with An Yunyi, and it was Xiang Donglai who said that Lu Chenling wanted to be his Taoist partner. What does this have to do with me, Master Jiang?
After leaving Luo Jiuxi's cave, Jiang Chuan followed Meng Luoshu back to the main hall where the Tai Su Immortal Meeting was held.

As the Tai Su Immortal Meeting ended, many cultivators left.

Chang Qingzi, Shang Wujin and Liu Junming, the three sect leaders, have already left halfway.

As soon as Jiangchuan returned to the main hall, he saw Abbot Kongming, the headmaster of Shuiyue Temple, Master Qiuyu, and the headmaster of Shanhai Dao Sect, Wan Qiangu, standing at the door of the hall.

Nun Qiuyu was wearing a kapok monk's robe and holding a white jade Buddha. A halo transformed from Buddha's light floated behind her head, making her already beautiful face look even more holy.

Nun Qiuyu was taciturn and spoke only a few times during the entire Taisu Immortal Society, making her presence seem very invisible.

When she saw Jiang Chuan coming, she spoke first.

"Amitabha!"

Nun Qiuyu clasped her hands together and said, "Fellow Daoist Jingyang, I have something to advise you."

"Master, please speak."

"Fellow Daoist Jingyang, although you are extremely talented, the Taichi Immortal King also has the potential to become an Immortal Emperor."

Nun Qiuyu advised, "I urge you to abandon the Jiuxiao Pagoda as soon as possible to avoid future disasters that could kill you."

Jiangchuan had heard similar words from Yueyan of Shuiyue Temple when he participated in the Taisu Immortal Meeting in the simulation.

At that time, Jiang Chuan was too weak to ask Master Qiuyu how she knew that Wanshanhe's Jiuxiao Tower was forged by Taichi Immortal King. Now he finally has the opportunity to ask.

"Master Qiuyu, how did you know that the Jiuxiao Pagoda was refined by the Taichi Immortal King?"

"Humph!"

Wan Qiangu snorted coldly, "Qiuyu was kind enough to remind you, but you actually want to dig into the matter? Qiuyu, ignore him, let's go."

Nun Qiuyu glanced at Wan Qiangu and sighed softly.

"I don't want to talk about this matter any further. I just hope that Fellow Daoist Jingyang can abandon the Jiuxiao Tower to avoid a fatal disaster."

"I would like to abandon it, but the spirit of the Jiuxiao Tower has been erased. Even if I throw the Jiuxiao Tower away, it won't be able to fly to find the Taichi Immortal King."

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly, and a serious look appeared in his eyes.

He didn't care about this matter at first.

After all, no matter how powerful the Taichi Immortal King is, he would not come down from the Immortal Realm to the Qingyuan Realm to kill him just for a top-grade Taoist weapon.

But after learning that the two realms had merged into one, the Qingyuan Realm was transformed into the 32nd heaven, Qingwei Heaven, and Jiang Chuan understood.

Jiuxiao Tower, including Wanshan River, are mostly pawns of Taichi Immortal King!

Even the Immortal King Ni Ming could make plans in the long river of time, so there would definitely be no problem for the Immortal King Tai Chi to descend from the immortal world to the mortal world!

I have destroyed his plan. One day in the future, Taichi Immortal King will definitely come to Qingyuan Realm to settle accounts with me!
"Fellow Daoist Jingyang, you're on your own!"

After Master Qiuyu finished speaking, she left with Wan Qiangu.

"Jingyang, don't worry. Wait until Junior Brother Kongchen finds the treasure left behind by the future Star Lord Buddha. Even if the Taichi Immortal King really descends upon Qingyuan, our Bodhi Temple can destroy him!"

Abbot Kongming patted Jiangchuan on the shoulder, signaling him to rest assured.

"A treasure left behind by the future Star King Buddha."

Jiang Chuan was slightly stunned and said, "So Elder Kong Chen is not taking Junior Brother Jing Yuan to travel around the Qing Yuan Realm, but is taking Junior Brother Jing Yuan to look for treasures."

"Searching for the treasures left by our ancestors doesn't conflict with wandering."

Abbot Kongming paused and continued, "The founder had already predicted this calamity, which is why I led the three sects of Buddhism and Taoism to seize the Jiuyuan Dynasty, compete with the Maha Palace for the power of faith, open the Jiuyuan Prison, and seize the precious medicine."

Jiang Chuan nodded and asked, "Abbot, what treasures did the future Star Lord Buddha leave behind?"

"do not know."

Abbot Kong Ming shook his head and said, "We know about the treasure left by the ancestor because the future Star King Buddha ancestor appeared in Taishan's dream. Taishan told us about it, and that's how we learned about it."

"Has the Future Star King Buddha appeared in Taishan's dream?" asked the Purple Cloud Patriarch in surprise.

Jiangchuan lowered his eyes and looked at the Yiqi gourd on his waist.

"Could that golden light in the core formation of the One Qi Gourd be the treasure left behind by the future Star Lord Buddha?"

As soon as the thought came into his mind, Jiang Chuan dispelled it.

What kind of existence is the Future Star King Buddha?

A cultivator of the Fourteenth Realm who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Demon King, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Immortal Ancestor!
The treasure he left behind must be earth-shattering, how could it be a ray of golden light?
"If you really want to know what treasure the ancestor left behind, you can ask the spirit of the Great Sun Divine Bell. Perhaps the spirit knows the exact whereabouts of this treasure."

Hearing what Abbot Kongming said, Jiang Chuan subconsciously replied: "I'll go ask Rabbit."

Then Jiang Chuan thought of the Netherworld Sect where Bai Mengqiu had taken him in the simulation.

A supreme being at the Fourteenth Realm took action to destroy a sect whose strongest strength was only that of a True Immortal.

This seems a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it.

"Could it be that the future Star Lord Buddha Patriarch has hidden the treasure in the Underworld Sect?"

While thinking, Jiangchuan followed Abbot Kongming out of Taisu Immortal Palace.

The Tai Su Immortal Conference is over, and now is the time to kill Qi Daoming!
