Chapter 50: The Anchor Point of Humanity, A Gentle Breeze and Bright Moon Ride Through the Clouds! (Seeking First Subscription)

One leap to the top, and everything changes!
Just as Niu Jun's mysterious Dharma body finished its transformation, hurried footsteps began to sound one after another.

However, it was the many immortals, Buddhas, gods, demons, and spirit beasts from the Cuiyun Mountain region who were making a pilgrimage from the foot of the mountain, step by step, with their feet firmly on the ground and full of piety, carrying treasures.

It's not that they lack the supernatural ability to fly.

Rather, they dared not, fearing that they might offend the sacred figure on Mount Cuiyun and bring disaster upon themselves.

Just like the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court, which one of them doesn't have the ability to fly through the clouds and possess countless magical bodies?

But when they attend the Heavenly Court's court assembly, who dares to show off in the Lingxiao Palace?
Regardless of what Cuiyun Mountain was like before.

From this day forward, with Niu Jun present, Cuiyun Mountain is now a top-tier sacred Taoist temple in the world. Even if it cannot compare to the Heavenly Court's Lingxiao Palace, it is not a place where ordinary immortals, Buddhas, gods, demons, monsters, and ghosts can run rampant.

Niu Jun stood atop Cuiyun Mountain, looking down at the pilgrims who had come to worship. He watched them calmly without uttering a word.

At this moment, his mind and will descended into his mysterious body, his spiritual perception was infinitely elevated, and he seemed to have jumped out of the Three Realms and Six Paths, like the vast Heavenly Dao, looking down on all living beings.

His eyes were filled with indifference.

My mind was in a state of extreme rationality, and I truly experienced what it means for heaven and earth to be ruthless and treat all things as straw dogs.

Whether it's ordinary people or immortals and saints.

If one fails to attain the Taiyi Dao, one is as insignificant as an ant, like dust.

My heart is like the heart of Heaven, my will is like the will of Heaven.

The way of Heaven is vast and boundless, and so am I!
I am the sky!
"Husband??"

Just as Niu Jun was lost in thought about the vastness of the heavens, a beautiful figure flew over and landed not far in front of him, looking at him cautiously and calling out softly.

The person who arrived was none other than Princess Iron Fan.

At this moment, Princess Iron Fan felt as if she were in a dream, and her whole body was dizzy.

Her husband, who had been away from home for over a hundred years, suddenly returned and directly attained the Primordial Dao on Mount Cuiyun, which caused the will of Heaven to manifest and bestow divine favor upon her.

This is something I never even dared to dream of!

Princess Iron Fan's soft call startled Niu Jun from his state of mind, and a trace of humanity gradually returned to his originally indifferent eyes.

Most of the mind and will returned to the original body, leaving only a small part of the will to maintain the normal existence of the mysterious Dharma body.

Then, Niu Jun withdrew his mysterious avatar into his body, looked at Princess Iron Fan, and said indifferently, "Madam has arrived!"

"Husband, what are you doing?"

"A lucky breakthrough, achieved by chance!"

Niu Jun replied with a smile, his previously subdued emotions and rationality gradually returning to normal, and he became much more normal as a person.

After saying this, he glanced at the Cuiyun Mountain God and others who were almost at the top of the mountain, and casually waved his sleeve, moving all the beings who wanted to come to worship to the foot of the mountain, and then set up a concealment formation.

In an instant, the entire Cuiyun Mountain vanished into the void, disappearing from the Three Realms.

It's not that Niu Jun doesn't understand human relationships and social customs.

Niu Jun, however, is not Sun Wukong and does not want to be watched all the time.

As for the sentient beings of Cuiyun Mountain who come to worship?

They're just a bunch of ants; why should we care about their thoughts and feelings?

After Niu Jun concealed Cuiyun Mountain into the void, he immediately embraced his wife, Princess Iron Fan, and said sincerely, "These past hundred years have indeed caused my wife worry."

Upon hearing this, Princess Iron Fan's eyes reddened slightly, deeply moved.

She nestled in Niu Jun's arms and sobbed for a while, then looked at him with teary eyes and said, "I almost forgot to congratulate my husband on successfully attaining the Primordial Dao! From now on, you have achieved great success!"

"How would you like to congratulate me, Madam? Have you prepared a gift?"

Niu Jun chuckled as he looked at the beauty in his arms, and couldn't help but tease her, his eyes darting around restlessly.

Immortals are also human beings, and they also have emotions and desires.

Niu Jun never thought of suppressing his emotions and desires; on the contrary, he kept trying to enhance them.

In his view, the seven emotions and six desires are not obstacles on the road to enlightenment, but rather anchors of human nature.

The seven emotions and six desires represent human nature. If a cultivator wants to avoid losing himself in the process of enlightenment and becoming a puppet of cultivation for the sake of cultivation, he needs to use his seven emotions and six desires as an anchor to stabilize his human nature.

It is truly necessary to abandon one's humanity for the sake of spiritual practice.

Is that still me?

Therefore, Niu Jun did not reject worldly desires, nor did he reject emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Your Majesty, you are so wicked!"

"The old ox isn't bad, but the wife doesn't love him; I, the old ox, just love plowing the fields..."

Niu Jun chuckled and immediately carried his beautiful wife into the Banana Cave.

The rain patters on the banana leaves, pattering in the morning and pattering in the evening!

……

Longevity Hill, Wuzhuang Temple!
Seeing Cuiyun Mountain disappear from the Three Realms, Zhen Yuanzi reluctantly withdrew his gaze, but the look of amazement in his eyes lingered for a long time.

"To rise to the top in one step, what an incredible stroke of luck!"

Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly, then summoned his two junior disciples and said, "Go to the back garden and fetch three ginseng fruits. Deliver them to the Ox King of Cuiyun Mountain on my behalf to congratulate him on his successful attainment of enlightenment!"

"Mount Cuiyun, the Ox King?"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what exactly is the background of that Ox King of Cuiyun Mountain? Why haven't we heard of him before?"

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze was deep and his face was calm as he said, "That Bull King was none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven from back then!"

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

Upon hearing such a title, Qingfeng frowned and pondered deeply, but he could not think of any great master in the Three Realms who possessed such a title.

It's not that Qingfeng is ignorant or uninformed.

Rather, for a true disciple of a great sect like Qingfeng, demons like the Bull Demon King are simply not worth mentioning. Who would bother to care about the name of a demon?

Not to mention.

The sworn brotherhood of the Seven Great Sages was a rather secretive matter.

Throughout the entire Three Realms, apart from a few individuals such as the Bull Demon King, it is likely that only the demons of Flower Fruit Mountain and some immortals and gods of Heaven knew about it.

Of the Seven Great Sages, apart from Sun Wukong, who is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the names of the other six Great Sages are rarely known.

Therefore, most of the immortals, gods, and demons in the Three Realms only knew the name "Mighty Bull Demon King" and did not know who the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was.

In fact.

Even Sun Wukong's title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven was only able to spread throughout the Three Realms and be recognized by all the immortals and gods of the Three Realms because he was officially conferred the title by the Heavenly Court.

There was no official appointment from the Heavenly Court.

Even if you shout until you're hoarse, no one will agree.

So it seems strange that Qingfeng doesn't know who the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is, but it's actually perfectly normal, because Niu Jun's title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven has not been recognized by the immortals, gods, demons and monsters of the Three Realms.

"The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven that Master mentioned, could it be the Bull Demon King, the sworn brother of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong?"

Just as Qingfeng was deep in thought, Mingyue, who was standing nearby, heard the name "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" and seemed to have thought of something, so she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at his two disciples and calmly said, "That's right, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull King, is none other than Sun Wukong's sworn brother, the Bull Demon King!"

"Now that the Bull King has successfully attained enlightenment, he naturally deserves the title of Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven."

As the saying goes: "The Way has no order of precedence; those who have attained it are our teachers!"

"Although you two are older than the Ox King, the Ox King has now attained the Great Dao, so you two should show him respect when you see him, understand?"

Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of earth immortals in the Journey to the West world. He had a total of forty-eight disciples, all of whom were enlightened Quanzhen masters.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were the two youngest disciples of Zhenyuanzi, one over 1,100 years old and the other just over 1,000 years old. Both their birth time and the time they attained immortality predated that of the Bull Demon King.

Zhen Yuanzi sent Qingfeng and Mingyue to Cuiyun Mountain with the ginseng fruit, thinking that since they were close in age to the Bull Demon King and belonged to the same generation, they would likely have things to talk about. "Don't worry, Master, we'll wake up!"

Upon learning that the Bull King who had attained enlightenment on Mount Cuiyun was none other than the Bull Demon King whom they had previously looked down upon, both Qingfeng and Mingyue wore extremely complex expressions.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "That Bull King is neither a Buddhist nor a Taoist, nor a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace in Beiju Luzhou. Therefore, like our Wanshou Mountain, he belongs to the Taiyi Xuanmen. So when you two meet that Bull King, you can get closer to him."

As the saying goes: all wandering immortals are one family.

In the world of Journey to the West, it's not easy for independent cultivators like Wuzhuang Temple to make a living.

In particular, Wanshou Mountain, where Wuzhuang Temple is located, is situated in Xiniuhezhou, which is the territory of the Lingshan Buddhist sect.

The domineering nature of the Lingshan Buddhist sect.

It's even harder for people from Wuzhuang to get by.

Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi sent two disciples to Cuiyun Mountain with three ginseng fruits as a congratulatory gift, which was undoubtedly intended to befriend and win over Niu Jun, hoping to form an alliance for self-protection.

"Please rest assured, Master, your disciple understands!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue accepted the order and said.

After saying that, he picked up the golden mallet and walked towards the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.

That is where the ginseng fruit tree, the spiritual root of heaven and earth, is located.

The two took three ginseng fruits, carefully placed them in a jade box with a silk handkerchief, then performed a cloud-riding incantation and left Wuzhuang Temple, flying directly towards Cuiyun Mountain.

……

Half a day later!
A gentle breeze and a bright moon arrived at the Cuiyun Mountain area, riding the clouds.

At the foot of the mountain, there was an unusually noisy scene, with various divine lights, celestial lights, Buddhist lights, and demonic auras soaring into the sky and reflecting each other.

Countless immortals, gods, demons, Buddhas, and others gathered outside Cuiyun Mountain, quietly waiting for the opening of the mountain's sacred grounds so they could pay homage to the Ox King.

"Ancestor Qingfeng and Ancestor Mingyue have arrived!"

"We pay our respects to Ancestor Qingfeng and Ancestor Mingyue!"

"Greetings, Ancestor Qingfeng and Ancestor Mingyue!"

"..."

Just as Qingfeng and Mingyue frowned, many cultivators practicing the Earth Immortal path below saw the two of them and were all very excited. They couldn't help but exclaim and bow in greeting.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Qingfeng and Mingyue are the youngest in Wuzhuang Temple and still look like celestial children.

But throughout the entire Xiniu Hezhou, who doesn't know the names of the two patriarchs, Qingfeng and Mingyue?

If we're really talking about fame...

The names of the two patriarchs, Qingfeng and Mingyue, are even higher than those of the great demons and monsters such as the Mighty Bull Demon King, the Long-lived Fox King, and the Nine-Headed Insect.

He is a true ancestor of the Earth Immortal sect.

Seeing the distinct groups of people from various factions outside Cuiyun Mountain, Qingfeng and Mingyue frowned slightly before descending from the clouds and occupying a prominent hilltop.

The powerful demon that originally occupied that mountain, upon seeing Qingfeng and Mingyue arrive, wisely left quickly with his subordinate demons without Qingfeng and Mingyue even having to ask him to drive them away.

The main characteristic is being pragmatic and having a keen eye for opportunity!
After all, in this dog-eat-dog world of Journey to the West, you can be stupid, you can be silly, but you can't be foolish, and you certainly can't lack self-awareness.

A truly foolish demon could never survive in the world of Journey to the West, let alone make a name for itself in the treacherous and demon-infested Xiniu Hezhou.

Therefore, upon seeing Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two patriarchs of the Earth Immortal lineage, the great demon did not hesitate at all and immediately surrendered and left with his people.

Such a scene.

This greatly excited the Earth Immortal cultivators who were originally crowding on the periphery, and they all spontaneously moved closer to Qingfeng and Mingyue!

What's going on with this Cuiyun Mountain?

"Has the Ox King issued a decree stating how to make the pilgrimage?"

A gentle breeze summoned an elderly earth immortal, who asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Ancestor Qingfeng, we have waited for a long time, but we have not seen any decree descending from the sacred mountain."

Faced with Qingfeng Ancestor's question, the old earth immortal naturally dared not hide anything and quickly told him everything he knew.

Say it.

As if he had thought of something, the old immortal continued, "Ancestor Qingfeng, as far as I know, Cuiyun Mountain was originally a blessed land for Senior Sister Iron Fan. Perhaps Senior Sister Iron Fan knows some inside information."

"Who is this 'Iron Fan Senior Sister' you're talking about?"

Upon hearing this name, Qingfeng couldn't help but frown and ask.

There are countless cultivators in the Earth Immortal lineage. As a true disciple of Zhen Yuanzi, the patriarch of the Earth Immortals, it is impossible for him to know the situation of every single Earth Immortal cultivator.

Therefore, Qingfeng did not recognize Princess Iron Fan.

The old earth immortal truthfully replied, "In response to the ancestor's question, Senior Sister Iron Fan is also a true immortal who attained enlightenment in our earth immortal lineage. She cultivated in Cuiyun Mountain for more than 500 years and opened up the blessed land of Banana Cave. However, because Senior Sister Iron Fan is indifferent by nature and likes quiet, she rarely communicates with other fellow Daoists, so her reputation is not well known."

"Mount Cuiyun, the blessed land of Banana Cave, the Iron Fan Fairy, and the Ox King!"

After listening to the old earth immortal's story, Qingfeng had a feeling that the Iron Fan Fairy and the Bull King must have some kind of connection.

Or rather, this newly enlightened Ox King has some kind of karmic connection with their lineage of Earthly Immortals.

Just as Qingfeng was deep in thought.

The once clear sky suddenly darkened, and the sound of wind and thunder could be heard. Raindrops fell from the sky and sprinkled the earth.

Qingfeng looked up and gazed in the direction from which the sound of wind and thunder was coming.

In the distance, above layers of clouds, four figures with human bodies and dragon heads were seen riding the clouds toward Cuiyun Mountain.

According to legend, when a true dragon travels, storms and rain rage.

Although it is just a legend, it is based on fact.

However, the dragon race nowadays has always been low-key. Whenever a true dragon goes out, it will conceal its aura, so such an unusual phenomenon rarely occurs.

But this time was different. The Four Dragon Kings made no attempt to conceal their presence, arriving openly and displaying countless extraordinary phenomena, thus announcing to the Three Realms that their dragon race had come to pay homage.

Soon, the Four Dragon Kings descended from the clouds and concealed their aura.

In an instant, the sky cleared up again.

If it weren't for the rain and dew around them reminding everyone that the previous storm was real, they would probably have thought it was an illusion.

Like a gentle breeze and a bright moon, after the arrival of the Four Dragon Kings, they did not trespass into the Cuiyun Mountain. Instead, they obediently found a mountain peak to land on and quietly waited for the Cuiyun Mountain Dojo to open.

"Look! The Buddhist people from Lingshan have arrived!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out, drawing everyone's attention to the western horizon.

Immeasurable Buddha light shone brightly, illuminating the entire sky, and the resounding sound of Buddha chanted between heaven and earth, as if heaven and earth were praising Amitabha Buddha!
"Senior brother, I didn't expect it to be Venerable Ananda who came. It seems that the Buddhist sect of Mount Ling values ​​this Bull King very highly!"

When Mingyue saw the Buddhist monks, she couldn't help but frown.

Venerable Ananda was one of the ten direct disciples of the Buddha.

Although he was not the Buddha's first direct disciple, he was the Buddha's constant attendant, serving the Buddha diligently for countless years and remembering every word the Buddha said. Therefore, he was known as "the foremost in learning in Buddhism"!
The fact that the Buddhist sect of Lingshan sent Venerable Ananda clearly shows that they attach great importance to the newly enlightened Bull King.

"No need to worry, the Buddhists have all arrived, so how far can the Heavenly Court be?"

"We only need to keep our master's instructions in mind and express the goodwill of Wuzhuang Temple to the Ox King. Even if the Ox King really turns to Buddhism, it will not be us who will have a headache, but the Heavenly Court!"

Qingfeng said nonchalantly, not at all worried about the Buddhist visitors.

The facts are just as Qingfeng said.

Before the Venerable Ananda of Buddhism could descend from the clouds with his followers.

A massive projection of the Heavenly Gate appeared high in the sky, shimmering with bright clouds, shrouded in mist, radiating golden light, and filled with auspicious energy, directly overshadowing the power of the Buddhist monks.

Then, the Heavenly Gate opened wide, and Venus, leading two rows of celestial officials and maidens, descended from the Heavenly Realm, landing smilingly before the Buddhist monks.
