Chapter 162 Avoiding the Three Calamities, Earthly Immortal Realm

Bixia Yuanjun?

Information related to Bixia Yuanjun flashed through Zhou Sheng's mind.

Bixia Yuanjun, whose full name is Bixia Yuanjun, the Heavenly Immortal Jade Maiden of Mount Tai, is also known in folk tradition as the Jade Maiden of Mount Tai, the Goddess of Mount Tai, and the Holy Mother of the Three-Stringed Instrument...

Legend has it that she was the daughter of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, belonging to the lineage of the Taishan Underworld. She was also a famous female immortal in Taoism, in charge of divine duties such as protecting life, granting children, eliminating disasters, relieving calamities, and governing the mountain.

“I heard from Jiulang that Ksitigarbha has been born. Since I like Buddhism, I will take a nap next to you and listen to the Buddhist teachings.”

The woman smiled faintly and said, "I haven't slept so soundly in a long time, young man. I have to go now. I'll come back to sleep with you again if I have the chance."

Zhou Sheng was at a loss for words. The other party was clearly a woman, so why did he feel like he was the one who had been taken advantage of?
"Oh, by the way, as payment for letting me sleep here for one night, this is for you."

She casually pulled something from her ample bosom and threw it at Zhou Sheng.

He reached out and caught it. It felt warm to the touch and turned out to be a small jade bottle. He shook it slightly and could hear a clinking sound. It should contain pills.

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but glance at the woman's high breasts, feeling as if they were a bottomless pit, hiding who knows what.

It wasn't that she was seduced by beauty, but rather that there was a faint fluctuation of magical power emanating from the woman's bosom, like Zheng Chenghuang's magic pouch, containing a vast universe within a mustard seed.

The woman seemed to notice his gaze, but instead of being embarrassed or annoyed, she straightened her back, and for a moment, even her loose long dress couldn't hide her amazing curves.

"Strive to cultivate yourself, Ksitigarbha."

"I hope you will live up to this name."

Under Zhou Sheng's gaze, the woman's figure grew fainter and fainter, gradually becoming transparent, as if merging into the morning light.

"Wait, may I ask your honorable name, senior?"

Before the other party completely disappeared, Zhou Sheng asked a question.

"Hehe, come ask me your name when you can remember me."

The woman's voice disappeared completely, and her figure vanished as well. Only Zhou Sheng remained in the room. If it weren't for the lingering faint fragrance, one might have truly thought it was all a dream.

Zhou Sheng gripped the jade bottle tightly in his hand, his brows furrowed.

What is the origin of this woman wearing the Bixia Yuanjun mask, and what is her purpose?
He had been using his magic eye the whole time, but he couldn't even see how the other party left. It seemed like an escape technique, but it wasn't. He couldn't even sense any fluctuations in magic power.

However, one thing is certain: this woman doesn't seem to be hostile towards him at the moment; on the contrary, she seems to be showing him... a special kind of attention?

It seems to be because of that Jizo mask.

Zhou Sheng remained silent for a moment, and finally decided not to consult Luo Shu about this matter, because the woman's cultivation was too high, and the game of chess at Mount Lu was still waiting for him.

He shook his head, deciding to ask his master when he returned.

"Danshan! Danshan, come out quickly!"

Speak of the devil, and he appears; suddenly, the master's voice rang out from outside the door.

Zhou Sheng quickly pushed open the door and saw his master and Aunt Zhu standing side by side, each holding an oil-paper umbrella, nodding and smiling at him.

When the battle ended last night, Master didn't immediately go to check on Aunt Zhu, but instead chose to wait for his disciple to return. This made Aunt Zhu a little angry, and she left alone.

It seems that she has been appeased now. Aunt Zhu's face is rosy, and she smiles slightly from time to time, holding onto her master's arm, looking very affectionate.

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but secretly give his master a thumbs up.

What a master!

His face just didn't look very pale...

"Master, how is the situation at Ghost City?"

Although the overall situation was settled and there shouldn't be any trouble, Zhou Sheng was still a little uneasy. "I have something to discuss with Zhu Zhu. Let her tell you."

Yu Zhensheng chuckled, then tossed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Zhou Sheng, and turned to leave with his lover.

"Wait a minute, Master, I met someone this morning—"

Zhou Sheng was about to talk about the mysterious woman from that morning, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

I met someone... what was it again?

His pupils dilated as he suddenly realized something terrifying: the woman's voice, appearance, and smile were rapidly fading from his mind.

In a short while, he had already forgotten what the woman looked like, only vaguely remembering that she was very stunning.

"Come and ask my name when you can remember me."

The last words the other person uttered before disappearing suddenly surfaced in his mind, and at that moment, Zhou Sheng understood the mystery behind those words.

It turns out that he no longer even has the right to remember what the other person looks like.

Zhou Sheng quickly recounted what had happened that morning, and Yu Zhensheng's initial nonchalance turned into a solemn expression.

Aunt Zhu clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "Your disciple has quite a lot of luck with women. Someone whose face even a cultivator with opened nasal passages can't remember must be no less powerful than that Tiger God."

She paused, then added, "Not a remnant soul, but the Tiger God at his peak who survived three heavenly tribulations."

"more than."

Yu Zhensheng shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the other party must have used the method of avoiding the three calamities, blending in with the world, living in seclusion, not here, not on the other shore, and not in the middle of the river, so that cause and effect do not arise, and heavenly tribulation does not descend."

These words were quite cryptic, but Zhou Sheng could understand their general meaning.

"Master, do you mean that the mysterious woman used a method called 'Avoiding the Three Calamities' to escape the heavenly tribulation?"

Yu Zhensheng nodded and said, "There is great terror in the Heavenly Tribulation. Hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation can be reduced to ashes in an instant. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes."

"The three calamities are the tribulations of heavenly lightning, yin fire, and bifeng, which belong to the sixth, seventh, and eighth tribulations of heavenly tribulations, respectively. Judging from this, that woman is at least... an earth immortal who has survived five heavenly tribulations!"

"Earth Immortal?"

Zhou Sheng asked with some surprise, "Master, didn't you say that one must pass through nine heavenly tribulations to become an immortal?"

Yu Zhensheng shook his head and said, "To become an immortal after passing nine tribulations is to be a celestial immortal with perfect merit. In fact, as long as one passes one tribulation, one can be called a human immortal. If one passes five tribulations, one can be called an earth immortal."

"Because the Heavenly Tribulation is too terrifying, before they are absolutely certain of success, those undergoing the tribulation will try their best to delay it and wait until they have accumulated enough strength before undergoing the tribulation."

"Avoiding the Three Calamities is such a superior and wonderful method. After mastering it, anyone who has not opened the 'mind barrier' will not be able to remember the other person's appearance, and as time goes by, they will even gradually forget their experiences with the other person."

"It's like forcibly severing the cause and effect between oneself and the world, thus being able to avoid the heavenly tribulation."

Zhou Sheng was somewhat shocked. He had overestimated the mysterious woman as much as possible, but he never expected that she might actually be an Earth Immortal who had survived five Heavenly Tribulations!

No wonder Hua Jiulang said that among those who wear masks, he is now the weakest.

"Ahem, rather than this, I suggest you open that umbrella and take a look first."

Yu Zhensheng said with a strange expression, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Zhou Sheng opened the umbrella with some skepticism. The next moment, pure Yin energy permeated the area under the umbrella and then transformed into a handsome and tall figure.

Those spirited phoenix eyes seemed to be smiling, yet not quite, and his voice carried a hint of mockery.

"Boss Long is so lucky with women..."
