This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

"it's over?"

Yang Chan approached Zhong Bai with great interest and exclaimed in amazement, "I didn't realize you possessed such abilities, Zhong Bai. Last time, you leaped from the early stage of Human Immortal to the peak of Human Immortal. I will take that as a result of your accumulated experience finally coming to fruition."

But now...

A meteoric rise from the Human Immortal realm to the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm—unheard of anywhere in the Three Realms! Hehe!

Zhong Bai was taken aback, but he wasn't scared. He could tell that Yang Chan was curious but didn't have any bad intentions.

"But I have never hidden it..."

This is how it is with Fairy Yang Chan!

In short, he forcefully controlled Yang Chan. Yang Chan's face had already begun to turn slightly red, but she still gave Zhong Bai a charmingly disdainful look before shaking her head.

"Actually, I've already seen through it. You have your secrets, and I won't pry into them. However, it's quite difficult to carry out a large-scale extermination of demons and evil spirits in the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai immediately understood that Yang Chan had guessed that his rapid advancement in cultivation level was related to killing demons. After all, Yang Chan wasn't stupid; why did she advance her cultivation level right after killing demons? It's just that there were some things Yang Chan didn't want to say outright.

As for bringing this up, I also want to warn Zhong Bai that although the number of demons in the Earthly Immortal Realm is not small, the Three Realms have long since formed a balance. The demons are all protected by someone. The killing of Linggan King was done by Guanyin.

As for those demons without any background...

Nobody's stupid. Most of these demons without any background are diligently cultivating. Zhong Bai can't just kill them for no reason, can he?
Of course, this is Yang Chan's opinion.

Zhong Bai fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

"These things are best left to fate!"

Upon hearing Zhong Bai's words, Yang Chan couldn't help but give Zhong Bai a light punch on the chest.

"no!"

Yang Chan was somewhat agitated, but she continued to explain.

"Hmph! You have such talent, you should definitely make use of it. It's just demons, right? If you want to kill demons in a reasonable and lawful way, isn't that easy?"
The Heavenly Court's Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Ancestor and the Northern True Martial Emperor are all immortals and gods who act on behalf of Heaven. However, under normal circumstances, these great beings will not personally descend to the mortal realm to eliminate demons. Zhong Bai, if possible, I will let you be the executioner!

Would you like to?
There are also the Execution Platform, the Demon-Slaying Platform, the Dragon-Slaying Platform... and so on—you can do all of those for me!

Zhong Bai was stunned. Was this a way to use the Heavenly Court's influence to quickly accumulate demon-slaying points?

To be honest, Zhong Bai was somewhat tempted.

"Yang Chan, how can I ever repay you for what you've done?"

Zhong Bai stared intently into Yang Chan's eyes, his expression unusually serious. Yang Chan, noticing Zhong Bai's intense gaze, immediately looked away.

"Ahem, well, no need to repay me."

You're my fiancé, have you forgotten?
Besides, this fairy is still waiting for the day when you will personally go to Mount Ling to kill and avenge that Buddha of Joy who plotted against me!
You have to keep it up, Zhong Bai!

Zhong Bai smiled brightly.

"Yang Chan, has your second brother ever told you that none of your lies are true?"

In an instant, Yang Chan felt as if a million ants were crawling all over her body. But before she could protest, Zhong Bai had already pulled her into his arms, and their lips met. Little by little, Yang Chan felt a suffocating sensation rise in her heart, and her body became weak and powerless...

After a long while, Zhong Bai finally released Yang Chan, but the lingering fragrance between their lips and teeth still made Zhong Bai's originally calm gaze become fiery.

As for Yang Chan...

Her resentful gaze kept piercing Zhong Bai, but her arms did not break free; instead, she wrapped them tightly around Zhong Bai's neck.

"Damn it, I...I have no strength left..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai chuckled and then bent down to pick up Yang Chan in his arms.

After about an incense stick's time, Yang Chan regained her strength and her expression calmed down.

Lying in Zhong Bai's arms, Yang Chan casually mentioned, "Zhong Bai, the Three Realms have not been peaceful for the past few hundred years. A few days ago, the Three Realms were shaken. I heard from my second brother that a stone monkey was born in Huaguo Mountain, Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou, which is related to the great prosperity of Buddhism in the West."

We still need to be careful.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai frowned slightly. This... has something to do with Journey to the West?!

"Buddhism flourishes?"

Zhong Bai said he didn't quite understand, since reading a book and the actual situation are different. Yang Chan carefully explained the background to Zhong Bai.

"So, at that time, all three realms will need to cooperate with Buddhism in putting on a show?"

Zhong Bai spoke the truth, and Yang Chan nodded with a sigh.

"That's true, since both Jade Void Palace and Tushita Palace need to repay their karmic debts to the West."

Zhong Bai did not inquire further.

There is still about a thousand years before the Journey to the West truly begins. The stone monkey was born, crossed the sea to learn his skills, and returned to be suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain. In such a long time, if Yang Chanzhen can let him carry out executions in the Heavenly Court and cleanse demons in the mortal world, Zhong Bai thinks that he may become a great power in the Three Realms by then!

At that point, even if the West doesn't provoke us, we probably won't let Buddhism off the hook!

"Chan'er, these things have nothing to do with us for now. You know my talent. With just one opportunity, I will surely stand at the top of the Three Realms in the future, and taking revenge on Buddhism will be a piece of cake."

Yang Chan nodded and moved even closer to Zhong Bai.

"Yes, I understand. I'll handle the communication with the Heavenly Court. By the way, my husband, why don't we bring our two elder sisters from Maoshan to Xueying Palace?"

"Leaving my two older sisters in Maoshan is not a long-term solution."

Zhong Bai found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't refute it. He understood Yang Chan's thoughts; she simply didn't want to live in the Heavenly Court, and he felt the same way.

"Alright, I'll go to Maoshan to pick up Ling'er and Mo'er. Chan'er, you go to the Heavenly Court and ask if it's possible."

With a plan in mind, Zhong Bai and Yang Chan spent a short while together before going their separate ways.

.........................................................

Maoshan.

Zhong Bai arrived at dusk.

As Zhong Bai transformed into a divine light in the sky and was about to enter Maoshan, an invisible barrier in the sky suddenly blocked his way.

"We do not know which senior has arrived. We would appreciate it if you could inform us so that Maoshan can welcome you!"

Looking at the invisible barrier in front of him, Zhong Bai was somewhat taken aback. He hadn't been stopped when he and Yang Chan came here last time...

However, Zhong Bai recognized the voice; it belonged to Elder Qianhe!
Zhong Bai looked at the barrier that could stop him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Elder Qianhe, it is I, Zhong Bai!"

As Zhong Bai finished speaking, the barrier formation suddenly disappeared, and Elder Qianhe leaped out of Maoshan and appeared in front of Zhong Bai.

After looking him up and down carefully for a while, I still couldn't believe my eyes.

He frowned and shook his head repeatedly.

"Zhong Bai?"
"Wait a minute? Last time you came to Maoshan with the Third Holy Mother, you were still at the peak of the Human Immortal realm. It's only been a month or two, and you've already reached the Profound Immortal realm?"

Zhong Bai did not conceal his aura, and the Grand Elder could still easily sense the heavy pressure that Zhong Bai brought him. Anyone would be surprised.

amount……

Zhong Bai paused for a moment before explaining, “Elder, there are some things I can’t say, but you can rest assured that I came to Maoshan this time to take my Ling’er, Mo’er, and the little girl to the Snow Reflection Palace on Mount Hua.”

It would have been better if Zhong Bai hadn't said those words; as soon as he did, Elder Qianhe's gaze became evasive.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Bai frowned.

"Elder, what has happened!"

Seeing that Zhong Bai realized his embarrassment, Elder Qianhe simply spoke frankly.

"Actually, it's nothing. Zhong Bai, your daughter is the reincarnation of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, you know that, right?"

Zhong Bai nodded upon hearing this.

"I know, but what does this have to do with Zhong Ling?"

The elder sighed.

"A month ago, the Three Realms were shaken. Although we don't know exactly what happened, the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Goddess awakened her innate wisdom and was summoned by the Nine Heavens Goddess herself in Kunlun. The little girl has already gone to West Kunlun to cultivate."

The Empress asked us to convey a message to you, Zhong Bai: From the moment she was born, the Empress has already awakened her innate wisdom.

The Empress has been very content these past few years, so you don't need to worry..."

Zhong Bai fell silent after hearing this. His precious daughter had finally awakened her innate wisdom. Zhong Bai knew this day would come sooner or later, but...

When he actually faced it, he still felt a bit tense, and his breathing gradually became rapid. It took Zhong Bai a lot of effort to calm himself down.

"Elder, I understand about this matter. Please rest assured..."

Elder Qianhe did not say anything more after hearing this. This matter was, after all, Zhong Bai's own family affair, and how could he comment on it?
Moreover, Zhong Bai's current level of cultivation is already more terrifying than his.

They headed straight for the cave.

When Zhong Bai saw Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling, the two women were looking heartbroken in the courtyard.

For them, the sudden departure of the little girl was hard to bear, even knowing the ending would be like this. Zhao Ling'er, in particular, became somewhat lost and disoriented.

Zhong Bai felt a pang in his heart.

He silently approached Zhao Ling'er from behind and hugged her tightly.

"Ling'er, I've heard about what happened to the girl. Don't be sad. The girl is the reincarnation of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens. Returning to West Kunlun might not be a bad thing for her."

You're still here, your husband, and your sister Mo. Our family is still here!

Although Zhao Ling'er didn't know when her husband arrived, feeling his warm embrace, she burst into tears, which gradually soaked Zhong Bai's plain clothes.

Seeing this scene, Mo Ling felt a pang of sadness. The feeling of parting from loved ones was unpleasant. The little girl's departure made Mo Ling feel sad, just like when her eldest brother had left. However, Mo Ling knew that she was the eldest sister.

If I were to have an emotional breakdown, wouldn't Zhao Ling'er be even more heartbroken?
Time passed slowly, and by the time Zhao Ling'er in Zhong Bai's arms had calmed down, it was already late at night.

At this moment, Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling were leaning against each other in Zhong Bai's arms.

Sensing the two women's dependence on him, Zhong Bai's gaze softened.

At this moment, time is peaceful.

......................................................

But in Heaven.

Yang Chan had already been informed of her arrival and soon arrived at Lingxiao Palace to meet the Jade Emperor.

Upon meeting, Yang Chan addressed him as "Uncle".

"Uncle, Chan'er has something she hopes you can grant her request!"

At first, the Jade Emperor was very happy to learn that Yang Chan had come to the Heavenly Court to see him, especially when Yang Chan called out "Uncle" in a clear and crisp voice, the Jade Emperor felt a sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.

However, the Jade Emperor then frowned.

"Girl, this matter you're talking about isn't related to Zhong Bai, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan's face gradually turned slightly red.

"Uncle, you guessed perfectly!"

The Jade Emperor rolled his eyes. Sure enough, he knew that his niece hadn't come to see him for no reason. But oh well, it was already a rare treat that Yang Chan had come all the way from Mount Hua to the Heavenly Court.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yang Chan chuckled and then began to explain her plans for Zhong Bai.

After listening, the Jade Emperor still did not relax his brows, but stared straight at Yang Chan.

"Chan'er, it's not that your uncle doesn't agree, but Zhong Bai is only at the Human Immortal realm right now. Any celestial soldier or general in the Heavenly Court is at that level. Asking Zhong Bai to go down to the mortal realm to exorcise demons is really..."

"But carrying out the execution is no problem; my uncle can agree to that immediately!"

Yang Chan panicked upon hearing this.

"No, Uncle!"
Zhong Bai is incredibly powerful; he's already reached the Xuanxian realm. Being a demon slayer in the lower realms is a piece of cake for him. No problem at all!

The Jade Emperor was immediately surprised.

"Chan'er, you girl just don't like to tell the truth. I knew you wouldn't ask for such a job for Zhong Bai for no reason. I guess it's related to how quickly Zhong Bai was able to advance to the Xuanxian realm."

However, your uncle still needs to remind you, since you like him, you should get married soon. Right now, your relationship is ambiguous; if you want your uncle's help, you need some formal status, right?

Yang Chan blushed instantly upon hearing this.

"Um... this... well, Uncle, don't worry, we'll be getting married soon!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor finally smiled with delight.

"Haha, Chan'er is shy, but this matter still needs to be done quickly. As soon as you get married, your uncle can immediately issue an edict ordering Zhong Bai to go down to the mortal realm to exterminate demons and carry out executions!"

The Jade Emperor didn't actually say something: the Buddhist sect was starting to show signs of wanting to get involved in the extermination of demons in the mortal realm, but the timing wasn't right yet.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan became excited and thanked the Jade Emperor repeatedly. She even hugged the Jade Emperor's arm and acted coquettishly, instantly maximizing the Jade Emperor's emotional appeal.

A day in the sky, a year in the ground.

Yang Chan's journey to the Heavenly Court did not take too long, approximately one month on Earth.

For the past month, Zhong Bai has been comforting Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling at Maoshan.

After a month of tireless comforting, Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling were no longer as sad as they were a month ago. Instead, they both had rosy and radiant complexions. Their shy appearance made Zhong Bai unable to resist carrying the two girls into the house again to ask for more...

However, after Yang Chan returned to the lower realm, Zhong Bai received the news and took the two women to Mount Hua.

Snow Reflecting Palace.

Upon seeing Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling arrive, Yang Chan went straight to Zhong Bai and pinched his arm hard.

Judging from Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling's condition, even Yang Chan, who hadn't experienced it herself, could tell that they must have been pampered every day to have such a healthy complexion.

I was running errands for Zhong Bai in Heaven, and this guy is having such a good time in Maoshan...

Seeing Yang Chan like this, Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling also covered their faces and chuckled. (End of this chapter)
