Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The black and gold light on the sword materialized, and it leaped into the air, slashing towards Bai Suzhen against the surging torrent.

The black sword light grew longer in the wind, reaching nearly two zhang in length. With a light swing, it shattered the water wall. Bai Suzhen was startled; in this situation, she had no choice but to resort to her last resort.

She parted her lips slightly and spat out a white inner core, radiating endless white light. The black sword energy that fell was finally blocked by her.

However, at the same time, a wave dozens of feet high was stirred up. Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "Sure enough, the opponent's methods are not weak. If I don't use my real magic weapon, Bai Suzhen may not be able to defeat him, but she might be able to escape."

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan currently only has about half of his combat strength, and his other clone is still in Lingyin Temple, so he has not destroyed it.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and with a thought, a black lotus platform flew out from the edge of his palm. If one looked closely, one could see that this lotus platform had nine petals, which lifted up black lotus flowers and rolled towards Bai Suzhen, who was spitting out her inner core.

Bai Suzhen's face was as smooth as jade, and her eyes were as clear as water. When she saw the black lotus platform enveloping her, she was shocked and wanted to retreat, but under Li Xiuyuan's control, the world-destroying black lotus followed her closely.

Furthermore, a layer of black light shield appeared around Bai Suzhen, making it impossible for her to escape.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up as he lightly flew over. Bai Suzhen had already been captured by him and was powerless to resist the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

The path of cultivation speaks of Dharma, companions, wealth, and land. Dharma refers to the cultivation method, companions refer to one's partner, wealth refers to various precious resources, and land refers to blessed lands and grotto-heavens.

Among the saints, the Three Pure Ones, possessing a variety of treasures, are superior to the others, while the Tongtian Sect Master, with his Zhuxian Sword Formation, is known as being unbreakable by any but the Four Saints.

As long as one has an extra good treasure, their combat power will increase by several times. This is also the reason why the two saints in Buddhism are the weakest. The only thing they can offer is the Golden Lotus of Merit.

Chapter 163 The Seeker of the Dao, Forgetting Life and Knowing Death

There were no other top-tier innate spiritual treasures, let alone innate supreme treasures. This is why Nuwa, despite being a woman, was no weaker than two people, thanks to her numerous treasures.

Li Xiuyuan's cultivation level was no weaker than Bai Suzhen's. With his powerful physical body, he could easily overwhelm her. Finally, with his innate spiritual treasure, he could capture her alive.

Bai Suzhen felt the temperature rising higher and higher. Looking at the outside world, everything was distorted by the rising heat. Her originally snow-white skin slowly turned red.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan flew over, put one arm around her slender waist, and smiled lightly, "Mmm, so fragrant! My little lady, you'll be my princess consort this time."

As he spoke, he pressed his face against Bai Suzhen's, inhaling the faint scent of roses emanating from her snow-white neck.

After Bai Suzhen was captured alive, she was instantly filled with shyness. Her face flushed red, and she looked around with a graceful and charming appearance, like a flower just beginning to bloom, infinitely beautiful, like a celestial being. The charming and graceful manner she exuded made her a woman of exceptional beauty, rarely seen between heaven and earth.

Bai Suzhen lowered her head shyly and replied, "Please, Great Immortal, spare me!"

Li Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips, and chuckled, "I'll let you go."

Bai Suzhen pleaded, "Suzhen is a white snake from Mount Emei. She cultivated herself into a spirit on Mount Qingcheng. When she first entered the mortal world, she was guided by Guanyin Bodhisattva to come and repay her kindness and end her mortal ties."

Suzhen has not done anything heinous, please let me go, Great Immortal, Suzhen will be eternally grateful.

As she spoke, she looked at Li Xiuyuan with a pleading expression. Her pitiful appearance would have moved any normal man, and Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. But he still had to keep up the act.

Bai Suzhen was clearly an extremely clever woman; she even knew to invoke Guanyin Bodhisattva in an attempt to gain favor and hope that Li Xiuyuan would let her go.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan frowned. He naturally understood what Bai Suzhen was saying. She was a white snake who had cultivated for a thousand years at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. Because she wanted to enter the realm of celestial immortals, she had to settle her karma in this life and repay Xu Xian's kindness.

Guanyin Bodhisattva seized this opportunity, which led Bai Suzhen to repay Xu Xian's kindness, thus beginning their lifelong romance.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Suzhen, if there is any kindness that has not been repaid, I will find a way to repay it with you. And from now on, you will be my personal maid, how about that?"

As she spoke, she gazed at Bai Suzhen's fair and jade-like face. Her eyes were bright and clear, and she smiled radiantly. She was not only beautiful and charming, but also possessed an indescribable allure and loveliness, and at other times she showed a gentle and beautiful side.

Bai Suzhen replied, "Yes."

There was no other way; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. I never expected that the other party wouldn't even give face to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and would continue to force me. Under these circumstances, I had no choice but to give in.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Suzhen, don't be sad. As long as you follow me, you will eventually be able to condense the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit."

He was naturally very confident that he could help Bai Suzhen reach the realm of celestial immortals.

In order to attain immortality and enter the realm of celestial beings, Bai Suzhen was willing to offer herself in marriage to repay a debt of gratitude. Now that Li Xiuyuan has given her the hope of becoming a celestial being, she will naturally be willing to become a maidservant.

Bai Suzhen's delicate eyebrows relaxed, and she asked in a deep voice, "Really?"

Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "Of course. With me here, it would be a piece of cake for you to attain immortality!"

After saying that, he slowly pointed his finger out, and a beam of golden light entered Bai Suzhen's mind. This was the Supreme Heavenly Demon True Scripture that he was cultivating.

Bai Suzhen cultivated for over 1700 years, but only achieved the Great Perfection of Earth Immortal realm. She had only recently transformed into human form. However, the cultivation method given by Li Xiuyuan was aimed directly at the Quasi-Saint level.

If one has sufficient talent, it is possible to even reach the level of a saint, but for Bai Suzhen, the ultimate level she can reach in her entire life is probably only the quasi-saint realm!

Of course, unless there is a lot of external help, it is far better than the 'Python God Technique' that Bai Suzhen originally practiced.

It's not that you don't know the goods, it's that you're afraid of comparing them!

Looking at the cultivation method in her mind, Bai Suzhen was deeply moved. She firmly believed that as long as she cultivated diligently, she could break through to the Celestial Immortal realm in less than ten years!

Ten years is a very short time for these demons. Therefore, Bai Suzhen was extremely excited at this moment.

Moreover, there are even more powerful levels behind the celestial beings, which gives Bai Suzhen hope.

Bai Suzhen said gratefully, "Thank you, Master. I am willing to serve you as your servant to repay your kindness!"

As she spoke, she bowed gracefully to Li Xiuyuan.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said with a raised corner of his mouth, "Well, as long as you serve me well, even if you become a Golden Immortal, I will find a way to help you reach that level."

After saying that, he helped Bai Suzhen up. Her temperament was elegant and refined, as pure as a fairy, and extraordinary in her grace. She was like a pure and flawless snow lotus on an ice mountain, and her expression was more beautiful than that of a fairy. She was as beautiful as a flower in the morning dew.

Bai Suzhen nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

As she spoke, she smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, as lovely as a flower, with a face as beautiful as the moon, like a goddess descended from the heavens.

Those who hear the Way live only a day and die in a day.

Those who seek the Way forget life and know death.

Those who seek the Way live a life of decadence and debauchery.

At this time, Bai Suzhen was a seeker of the Dao, and she was willing to give up everything for it, even her own body.

Otherwise, in the original "Legend of the White Snake," Bai Suzhen would never have been interested in the pretty boy Xu Xian; it was only because she wanted to repay a debt of gratitude.

Then, Bai Suzhen thought that after several decades, when she had finished repaying her debt of gratitude and Xu Xian had died of old age, she could then enter a higher realm.

With Li Xiuyuan's help, she can reach the realm of Celestial Immortal or even Golden Immortal. What does it matter if she becomes his maid, bandit's wife, or princess?

Chapter 164 Demon Ancestor Wutian

Those who seek the Way forget life and know death!

For the sake of her future path, Bai Suzhen was not even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of being a lowly maid?

At this moment, Xiao Qing, who was far away in mid-air, flew down and said in a clear voice, "Hey, how long are you two going to hug?"

After saying that, she pursed her lips and flew over with Feng Heng.

"what!"

Upon hearing these words, Bai Suzhen blushed. Her face flushed with shyness, and her eyes sparkled with beauty, like a flower just beginning to bloom, infinitely beautiful, as if she were a celestial being.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he gently released Bai Suzhen's slender waist. He wasn't a lecherous devil; since she was in his hands, he had time to seduce her.

Bai Suzhen's body relaxed, but for some reason, she felt a little lost. At this moment, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and retrieved the world-destroying black lotus from the sky.

After this encounter, Li Xiuyuan discovered that he had many weaknesses. First of all, he had too few means of attack, especially demonic methods.

The Buddhist attack methods are not suitable for Wutian to use, after all, he is a member of the demonic sect. It's fortunate that Bai Suzhen doesn't know his worth, otherwise she would definitely have recognized him.

As for attack methods in Buddhism, the Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal is sufficient.

The demonic path's attack methods, which utilize sword techniques from martial arts novels, are far inferior.

These were all made up for later. Li Xiuyuan also has another idea, which is to complete the World-Destroying Black Lotus. First of all, it was originally a twelfth grade, but now it has become a ninth grade. Over the past ten years, he has accumulated quite a few sin points.

With enough sin points, one can do anything. Li Xiuyuan's mind stirred, and he asked, "System, how many sin points are needed to complete the World-Destroying Black Lotus?"

As he spoke, he looked at his more than 600,000 sin points, of which the 30,000 he owed last time had all been paid off.

"Ding! To complete the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the host needs to spend 500000 sin points."

A soft voice came from behind.

"Huh? Why is it so expensive?"

"Host, don't be so ungrateful after getting such a good deal. There are probably no more than ten top-tier innate spiritual treasures in the entire Three Realms. You think it's too expensive to make up for it with such a small price?"

"All right!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan pursed his lips, and with a thought, said, "Spend 500,000 sin points to help me complete the World-Destroying Black Lotus."

As he spoke, a burst of black light flashed, enveloping the world-destroying black lotus within it. After a while, the original nine-grade lotus platform had become a twelfth-grade lotus platform.

The Black Lotus of Annihilation had already been perfectly refined by Li Xiuyuan. Now, even after being upgraded once, he could still control it with ease. However, each upgrade would consume even more energy.

With a thought, Li Xiuyuan summoned the World-Destroying Black Lotus, which flew back and shrank continuously before being placed in his hand. At that moment, a message was transmitted from the black lotus.

In the beginning of chaos, the Creation Lotus gave birth to the great god Pangu, but it was damaged because it could not withstand the pressure of creation. Four lotus seeds grew in the heart of the lotus.

Only one lotus seed matures and transforms into the color of the Mother Creation Lotus; the mature lotus seed transforms into the Twelve-Petaled Pure Lotus.

Its level was comparable to a primordial treasure, but because it lacked the merit of creating the world, it was not tolerated by heaven and earth. After the creation of heaven and earth, it was divided into three.

The lotus flower transformed into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, belonging to the Primordial Celestial Venerable. The lotus root transformed into the White Jade Flat Staff, belonging to the Supreme Lord Laozi. The lotus leaf transformed into the Green Lotus Sword, belonging to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The ancestral source of the earth that nurtured the green lotus transformed into the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, which belonged to the goddess Nuwa.

Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, and yellow earth—the Four Sages of the East are originally one family. This symbolizes that Tai, Yu, Shang, and Di are all direct descendants of Hongjun, belonging to the Xuanmen lineage, and are the Sages of the East.

After the demon mother Nuwa created humans and Pangu and the Three Pure Ones established religions, the Heavenly Dao bestowed immeasurable merits upon them.

The demon mother Nuwa, Pangu, and the Three Pure Ones then incorporated this immeasurable merit into these four treasures, making them innate merit spiritual treasures.
