I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 88 Senior, How About I Find You a Temple? (Seventh Update)

The Yan Yang Needle turned into a thicker one than a bowl and fell into Jiang Chuan's hands.

Jiang Chuan brandished the Yan Yang Needle to meet Wan Shanhe's halberd.

Zheng!
When the halberds and sticks collided, the clear sound of sword chanting was heard.

A divine light bloomed between Jiangchuan's eyebrows, and a thumb-sized golden sword condensed between Jiangchuan's eyebrows.

Yiqi Dao Sword!
Jiang Chuan multitasked, unleashing the Qi Dao Sword.

The Yiqidao sword turned into a golden light and pierced Wanshanhe's head.

Just as it was about to hit Wanshanhe, a green bell the size of a baby's fist flew out from between his eyebrows.

clang!
The Yiqi Dao sword collided with the bell, making a slight sound.

The sound was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to Jiangchuan's ears.

In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of needles were piercing Jiangchuan's brain. The severe pain made Jiangchuan's eyes go black and he almost fainted.

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and used the Star Spirit's Light again.

Looking at the flying azure light, Wan Shanhe was surprised: "Your Yin Spirit can actually block my secret treasure, the Soul-Stirring Bell!"

He had previously used the Soul-Dangling Bell to destroy the Yin Spirit of a fifth-level cultivator. He didn't expect that Jiang Chuan, a third-level cultivator, could actually block the attack of the Soul-Dangling Bell.

"Void Banishing Array! Open!"

In response to Wan Shanhe, Jiang Chuan roared.

The azure light evolved into dragon-like and snake-like formation patterns, which were imprinted in the void.

hum!hum!hum!
The divine light of the formation pattern flowed, and the void above Jiangchuan and Wanshanhe's heads suddenly cracked, revealing the dark and deep void abyss.

The void abyss is like the divine beast Kunpeng, opening its huge mouth to devour everything.

Jiangchuan and Wanshanhe's bodies flew uncontrollably into the abyss of the void.

"Ancestor, save me."

"coming!"

Ancestor Ziyun controlled his own body, the Yiqi Gourd, knocked the Jiuxiao Tower away, and rushed towards Jiangchuan at a rapid speed.

Just as Patriarch Ziyun said, the Jiuxiao Tower, with only four floors opened, is indeed inferior to the Yiqi Gourd.

A ray of purple light flew out from the mouth of the Yiqi Gourd, entangled Jiang Chuan who was about to fall into the void abyss, and held Jiang Chuan tightly to prevent him from falling into the void abyss.

"Friend Wan, see you again if we're lucky."

Jiang Chuan waved at Wan Shanhe.

"I, Wan Shanhe, am a person with an immortal destiny. No disaster can kill me. It will only make me stronger."

Wan Shanhe sneered while holding his halberd: "But it's hard for you to say."

Jiang Chuan realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

A green treasure bowl flew out from Wanshanhe's body.

The treasure basin seems to be carved from jade, crystal clear, and its surface is inlaid with pearls, gems and many other treasures. If it were placed in the ordinary world, it would be a rare treasure that would drive the whole country crazy.

But the only drawback is that the surface of the treasure bowl is covered with dense cracks, and it seems that it will break at any time.

"Oh no! It's a cornucopia!"

Patriarch Ziyun realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

hum!
Wanshan River activated the Treasure Bowl, and the Treasure Bowl bloomed with a green glow. The body of the Purple Cloud Ancestor, the Qi Gourd, flew uncontrollably towards Wanshan River.

Jiangchuan also flew uncontrollably towards Wanshan River.

"Wan Shanhe! Just wait for me, I will kill you sooner or later!"

This was Jiang Chuan’s last thought after he flew into the abyss of the void.

[You and Wan Shanhe were sucked into the void abyss.]

[Ancestor Ziyun reacted quickly and sucked you into the Qi Gourd, preventing you from being torn apart by the twisted void in the abyss.]

[After several hours, the Yiqi Gourd was swept into another world by the turbulent flow of the void.]

"where is this place?"

Jiangchuan came out of the Yiqi Gourd and looked at the world in front of him.

The black land is covered with large rocks of various shapes, some resembling lying cows, some like ancient pagodas, and some like immortals gazing at the moon, all of which are strange and bizarre.

The gray sky seems to be covered by dark clouds, giving people a feeling of depression.

One by one, the monks were flying across the sky, either on swords or riding on clouds.

"He doesn't even know about the Black Stone Gorge. He's another one of them who was tricked out of the temple by some black-hearted monk to go mining. How pitiful." A monk riding a phoenix passed by and spoke subconsciously after hearing Jiang Chuan's words.

Jiangchuan: "."

No, how did you know that I was tricked out?

Do I look like someone who is so gullible?
"Black Rock Gorge?"

After the monk riding the phoenix flew away, Patriarch Ziyun jumped onto Jiangchuan's head.

"I remember that this seems to be a planet called Tianshen Star outside a galaxy in the Qingyuan Realm. According to legend, this planet was transformed after the death of a powerful being known as a god in the starry sky."

“The flesh, blood, and bones have evolved into countless natural treasures. Every year, many cultivators come here to search for spiritual materials.”

"Celestia, a star system?"

Jiang Chuan was secretly shocked: "I didn't expect that we would drift across a galaxy after just a few hours of wandering in the void abyss! Ancestor, how are we going to return to the Qingyuan Realm now?"

"If I can get you here, I can naturally send you back."

Before Ancestor Ziyun could speak, a loud voice sounded in Jiangchuan's mind.

The ground beneath Jiang Chuan's feet suddenly cracked open, like a black hole, swallowing Jiang Chuan directly.

It seemed like just a moment, but it also seemed like a long time had passed.

Feeling a burst of heat, Jiang Chuan looked closely and saw a golden figure floating on a piece of red molten lava.

The golden figure wears a Taoist crown, has a gaunt face, and sits cross-legged, giving people a sense of sacredness and peace.

"The soul has turned into pure yang, Jingyang, this guy is at least a ninth-level expert." Ancestor Ziyun said in a voice transmission.

"Ninth Realm? That was my realm hundreds of thousands of years ago." The golden figure spoke slowly, "However, I can only be considered to be at the eighth realm now."

Jiangchuan: "."

No, I am ready to hear you say that you are now at the eleventh or twelfth realm.

So you said, you are now in the eighth realm?
"Is it a surprise?"

The golden figure smiled faintly: "For hundreds of thousands of years, my spiritual power has been continuously drawn upon to refine weapons, and it's almost completely exhausted."

Only then did Jiang Chuan notice that there were two dark red chains at the ankles of the golden figure.

"After drawing for hundreds of thousands of years, you can still reach the eighth realm. Your strength is truly unmatched in ancient and modern times!"

Jiang Chuan sincerely admired him: "Could it be that Senior is the god who incarnated into the Celestial Star?"

"not me."

The golden figure shook his head. "The claim of transforming into the Celestial Star is just a rumor. He transformed into a starry sky back then, and this Celestial Star is merely the product of his head."

"The head has transformed into such a huge star. How powerful is this god?!"

Patriarch Ziyun's eyes widened. "However, compared to the legend of the temple-guarding dragon made up by Taishan, this legend doesn't seem to be a false rumor."

Jiang Chuan recalled the legend of Bamboo Fairy Island and nodded, "Yes, at least it's generally correct. It's definitely not a false rumor."

Golden figure: ???
What's the situation?
Haven’t I been imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years?
Has Buddhism already merged with the devil?

After a moment of silence, the golden figure spoke again.

"I wandered through the void and sensed the aura of the Future Buddha and the Celestial Emperor's magical powers within you, so I took you in."

"Senior, do you want us to help you out of this predicament?" Jiang Chuan asked.

The golden figure rolled his eyes at Jiang Chuan: "Are all young people nowadays so fond of wild imagination?"

Jiangchuan: "."

Don’t think that you can talk nonsense just because I can’t beat you!
You wait for me. Never mind, you are in the eighth realm, you are right!

"At my peak, I could pluck stars and refine the sun, and shatter the void, but I couldn't destroy the shackles on my feet."

The golden figure slowly spoke: "How can you, a cultivator of the third realm with only a top-grade Taoist artifact, help me escape from this predicament?"

"Then why did you bring us here?" Old Ancestor Ziyun blinked his big eyes.

"I want you to bring a message to my disciple."

"So Senior wanted me to find my own disciples to rescue you."

"Tell my disciple that the master is wrong. Please let the master out."

Jiangchuan: "."

The good news is that he is indeed looking for disciples to rescue him.

Bad news, the master was imprisoned by his disciples.

No, after all this time it turns out that it’s all about the master being kind and the disciple being filial!

"I wonder who is the senior's disciple?"

The golden figure replied, "At that time, the Qingyuan Realm called him the Seven Killing Demon Lord."

"Senior, how about I find a temple for you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Go kowtow to my ancestor, the Future Star King Buddha, and see if he will grant your wish and help you travel through time and space to find the Seven Killing Demon Lords."

"."

Jiang Chuan felt that what was happening was simply embarrassing.

The Seven Killing Demon Lord is the founder of the Seven Killing Demon Sect, one of the six major demon sects!

He left the Qingyuan Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago and entered the starry sky, and his whereabouts remain a mystery.

The generally accepted view is that the Seven Killing Demon Lord ascended to the demon world just like the founder of the Huangquan Demon Sect.

As to whether it is true or not, no one knows.

Even if the Seven Killing Demon Lord really ascended to the Demon Realm, with Jiang's strength, how could he go to the Demon Realm to find the Seven Killing Demon Lord?

"Yes, hundreds of thousands of years have passed. With his strength, he should have been out of the Qingyuan Realm long ago."

The golden figure's eyes flashed with memories. "However, Qi Sha is very thoughtful. He imprisoned me for hundreds of thousands of years and didn't kill me. He used me to refine weapons. He must have a plan."

Have a plan
Jiang Chuan recalled the conversation with Gong Suxin in the simulated world, and his thoughts kept churning.

"When I learned that the Taisu Immortal Palace and the Seven Killings Demon Sect had joined forces, I suspected they were planning something earth-shattering. If the weapon that the Seven Killings Demon Venerable spent hundreds of thousands of years refining was also part of this event, then it was a weapon that I hadn't planned before."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan felt a little horrified.

For what purpose could a demon at the eleventh level of the Heavenly Realm plan this for hundreds of thousands of years?!

"Qisha will definitely tell his disciples about my existence and the weapons on the Celestial God Star."

The golden figure paused and continued, "I remember he founded the Seven Killings Demon Sect. Go to the Seven Killings Demon Sect and look for the supreme Taoist artifacts he left behind, or for the sect leader. They should decide whether to release me based on what the Seven Killings tell them."

"Senior, the Seven Killing Demon Sect and our Bodhi Temple are enemies that will never give up."

Jiang Chuan's face was solemn: "If I go to the Seven Killing Demon Sect, I'm afraid I'll be in danger of death!"

Ancestor Ziyun looked puzzled and shook his tail.

"Jingyang, when did the Bodhi Temple and the Seven Killing Demon Sect become mortal enemies?"

Jiangchuan: "."

Ancestor, could you please stop destroying my stage?

I'm asking for benefits here!

"Ancestor, you've been in Shilian Ridge for the past thousand years, so it's normal that you don't know. Right now, my Bodhi Temple and the Seven Killing Demon Sect are mortal enemies who will never stop fighting."

Recalling that he had indeed spent the past thousand years in Shilian Ridge, Patriarch Ziyun shook his head up and down to indicate that he understood.

The golden figure looked at Jiang Chuan with interest.

"Little monk, since you're helping me, I won't treat you unfairly. But you're so thick-skinned and full of lies, you really don't look like a Buddhist."
