Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

When the laws of Heaven are in disarray, the world will be overthrown!

With this palm strike, it seemed as if the heavens themselves were about to be overturned, colliding violently with the earth, resulting in the destruction of both heaven and earth.

This seal technique originates from an ancient legend. It is said that during the great war between the witches and demons, the world became unstable. Mount Buzhou, which reached the heavens, supported the sky and prevented the heavens from falling and the world from returning to chaos.

Later, this sacred mountain was broken in half, causing it to collapse. The sky collapsed as well, stars fell, and a cataclysmic disaster struck.

When the Heaven-Turning Seal was unleashed, it mimicked the scene of the divine mountain breaking apart, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to cave in.

The already weakened Black Mountain Demon was completely helpless, utterly powerless to resist. His body was instantly torn apart, and after letting out a wild scream, his body exploded and was instantly shattered into pieces.

Then, the black cloud that he had just released as a weapon to defeat the enemy immediately rushed back, turning into a vortex that drifted rapidly on the top of the Skull Tower before slowly dissipating.

A rumbling sound rang out, and the Skull Tower followed suit, collapsing into ruins.

The ghost army that was besieging Yan Chixia suddenly stopped, looked back at the central army, and then roared to the sky. In the roar, they gradually turned into nothingness and then completely disappeared.

The great battle between humans and ghosts has come to an end. The thousand-year-old demon, the overlord of Black Mountain, was ultimately no match for the Buddhist monks.

Come to think of it, Yan Chixia in the original novel killed the Black Mountain Demon with just the Diamond Sutra, let alone Li Xiuyuan's Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal.

After seeing the Black Mountain Demon killed, Li Xiuyuan let out a long sigh of relief. This battle was extremely exhausting, and even his true energy had been depleted.

It should be noted that Li Xiuyuan possesses two primordial spirits, and his magical power is several times greater than that of Yan Chixia.

Chapter 109 Guobei County

Li Xiuyuan glanced at Xiaoqian indifferently. She was wearing a thin white shirt, and her silver earrings swayed gently. A few strands of her hair covered her face as the breeze blew behind her.

Beneath her long hair was a pretty face with bright, kind eyes and light makeup. Her skin was pale, and her brows seemed to hold an unspeakable sorrow, yet also an infinite tenderness.

With skin as white as snow, complexion as smooth as cream, bright eyes and white teeth, her beautiful eyes sparkling and captivating, her expression pitiful to behold, she was indeed an unparalleled beauty.

Nie Xiaoqian trembled upon seeing this. Under Li Xiuyuan's undisguised admiration and affection, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly lowered her eyes and pressed her head down.

Li Xiuyuan asked calmly, "Xiaoqian, have you learned any magic?"

Half a month had passed since Nie Xiaoqian killed the Black Mountain Demon, and she finally reconstructed her body.

Originally, she was an ethereal ghost, but now she finally has a real form. In other words, the visitors in the past were just fantasizing because they were disturbed by their magic!

Another point worth mentioning is that Yan Chixia left ten days ago, determined to vanquish demons and monsters. Since there were no more demons in Lanruo Temple, he naturally had to leave.

Li Xiuyuan's gaze was unlike anything Nie Xiaoqian had ever seen before. She had seen those lustful men who, upon seeing her beauty, would pounce on her like hungry wolves, unable to resist the urge to devour her.

She had seen the eyes of upright and righteous gentlemen, unwavering and unswayed; she had also seen demon-slaying warriors who hated evil and wished nothing more than to exterminate them all.

But I've never seen eyes like Li Xiuyuan's before, full of affection and appreciation, yet not as eager as those filled with desire, as if they wanted to swallow them whole.

Nie Xiaoqian nodded and replied, "Reporting to the master, I know some rudimentary techniques."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said calmly, "No, that's not enough. These are just minor spells; how can they possibly protect us?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian said with delight, "I hope that the master can teach me my great technique."

After saying this, she kowtowed and thanked them. In this world, only the strong can protect themselves. If she had been strong enough, she would never have been driven by the Tree Demon Granny.

Nie Xiaoqian understood this principle deeply. Although she was a lady from a prominent family, she had become worldly-wise after nearly a year of trials and tribulations!

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm! This humble monk has a secret manual here that can allow you to learn the great Dharma of Buddha."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm! This humble monk has a secret manual here that can allow you to learn the great Dharma of Buddha."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, touched his chin, and looked thoughtful.

The fragrance of flowers emanating from Xiaoqian is intoxicating, a light scent that refreshes the mind and body, carrying a romantic atmosphere.

“Master, you have been kind to Xiaoqian, and Xiaoqian has no way to repay you. No matter what you ask of me, Xiaoqian will not hesitate. Now you are even allowing me to cultivate the ** technique, and I am even more grateful.”

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes turned, and she raised her head, her hair flowing like a waterfall, making her fair face even more delicate and beautiful.

At the same time, she flicked her sleeves, which fluttered in the wind, her white robes billowing like a celestial being descended from heaven.

Clever as she is, having served the tree spirit for so long, she has long since learned the skills of how to serve and please others.

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes turned, and she raised her head, her hair flowing like a waterfall, making her fair face even more delicate and beautiful.

At the same time, she flicked her sleeves, which fluttered in the wind, her white robes billowing like a celestial being descended from heaven.

Clever as she is, having served the tree spirit for so long, she has long since learned the skills of how to serve and please others.

In the past, these skills were only used under duress, but today they were used willingly and proactively, making them more proficient and alluring to Li Xiuyuan.

In this world, Nie Xiaoqian didn't meet the clueless and well-intentioned Ning Caichen. The person she met under the moonlight and developed feelings for was Li Xiuyuan.

Therefore, for Nie Xiaoqian, giving herself to a man who saved her and whom she genuinely had feelings for was not something unacceptable; it was perfectly normal.

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan also helped Nie Xiaoqian reshape her body, making him the perfect match for her!

Li Xiuyuan blinked, took a deep breath, and quickly and skillfully got to work. He sincerely marveled at how perfect the true form he had recreated for Nie Xiaoqian was.

Petals fluttered outside the window, birds chirped, and the rain and mist created a hazy atmosphere—perfect for the scene.

.........

It's worth mentioning that Nie Xiaoqian has a special constitution. Although she was originally a ghost, after her body was reconstructed, her figure was more realistic and lifelike than that of a normal woman, and her appearance was even better than before.

The next day, Li Xiuyuan looked at the beautiful Nie Xiaoqian and smiled slightly at her back.

Nie Xiaoqian let out a soft moan and woke up, asking, "Master, are your clothes full?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoqian, as long as you help me wholeheartedly, I will definitely treat you well."

This beautiful female ghost is incredibly skilled; she is truly a peerless beauty.

Nie Xiaoqian replied, "Mm!"

Li Xiuyuan laughed heartily and said, "Little Qian, this old monk has arrived!"

Nie Xiaoqian didn't shy away; she smiled slightly, revealing her pearly white teeth, which was very charming.

…………

Li Xiuyuan descended the mountain refreshed, and with a shy-looking Nie Xiaoqian in tow, the two headed straight for the nearest county, Guobei.

Li Xiuyuan learned from Nie Xiaoqian which country ruled this place. Guo Bei County belonged to the Great Yue Dynasty. Due to the war with the neighboring Wu Kingdom, even the King of Yue was captured, so the entire Yue Kingdom was in great chaos.

Three years ago, shortly after Goujian ascended the throne, he was defeated by the State of Wu. Two years later, King Fuchai of Wu conquered the capital of Yue, and Goujian was forced to surrender. He followed Fuchai to the State of Wu and served the King of Wu. Later, he was pardoned and allowed to return to his country.

This is the infamous humiliation of Kuaiji in history!

As the two walked, they witnessed several brief battles, the dead lying scattered in the wilderness, unattended.

In chaotic times, life and death alternate. One second you are a lively, energetic person, and the next you are a motionless corpse.

The body, born and nurtured by nature, was thus transformed into food for wild beasts and wolves, ultimately becoming a skeleton.

Although Li Xiuyuan was a monk and wanted to save people, there were simply too many dead people, and he couldn't save many. He could only sigh.

Chapter 110 The Scholar Ning Caichen

Life's journey is as long as a beautiful dream.

The road is lined with wind and frost, the wind and frost stinging my face.

How many directions can one's beautiful dreams take in this mortal world?

The wind seemed to sigh softly in a dream.

The road ahead is uncertain and lost.

Human life is a journey filled with beautiful dreams and fervent hopes.

In my dream, I vaguely saw tears glistening in my eyes.

Where to go, where to go, to find the direction in my heart.

The wind seemed to sigh softly in a dream.

The road ahead is uncertain and lost!

On the path of life, may you be a happy young man!

The road was rugged, and the sun never shone through it.

Where to go, where to go, to find the direction in my heart.

A touch of dreamlike wind and rain.

The road ahead is uncertain and lost!

A touch of dreamlike wind and rain!

The road ahead is uncertain and lost.

Li Xiuyuan walked along the ancient road, softly singing a familiar melody from his memory, and the two of them arrived outside Guobei County.

…………

In such a chaotic country, Guobei County has managed to maintain a semblance of peace, even though this peace is fragile, dangerous, and easily shattered, it is still relatively tranquil.

Even though some bounty hunters were running rampant in the county, and even though demons lurked not far from the city, at least for the time being, the people in the city were living a relatively peaceful life.

Before entering the city, Li Xiuyuan and Nie Xiaoqian were stopped by the city gate guards. His clothes were simple and unremarkable in style, but the material could not escape the eyes of these guards.
