Primordial Era: I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao.

Chapter 41 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Kong Xuan pays respects to his senior brother!

Above the sky, the Buddha's light was as vast and boundless as the Milky Way.

The chanting of Buddhist scriptures was melodious, and the profound and vast nature of Buddhism seemed to encompass everything in the world.

"Fellow Daoists, as descendants of Yuan Feng, you have profound foundations and a deep connection with my Western Sect."

"Why not return with me, Bodhisattva, and become a disciple of the Sage?"

"By your good fortune, you will surely become direct disciples of the sages, and fully enjoy the boundless influence of the Buddha's teachings!"

At this moment, behind Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc.

A bodhisattva, dressed in a kasaya and with a robust physique, sits serenely atop a divine beast.

The mythical beast had a strange appearance: a tiger's head with a single horn, dog's ears, a dragon's body, a lion's tail, and qilin's feet. It was neither a dragon nor a tiger, neither a lion nor a qilin, and it was not an ordinary dog.

It is the mythical beast Di Ting, which is said to be able to see through everything in the world.

"You bald monk, how dare you speak so arrogantly!"

"You want us to become followers of Western religions? Dream on!"

The Golden-Winged Roc roared angrily, then spat out several sharp blades formed from the condensation of Yin and Yang energies, which rushed straight towards the Bodhisattva behind him.

In an instant, the space itself seemed to tremble violently, and the auspicious clouds around it churned incessantly.

"Since you are so stubborn, then this Bodhisattva will personally come to deliver you from suffering and send you to the Western Paradise to enjoy bliss!"

Ksitigarbha was finally provoked.

As a Taiyi Golden Immortal, I have never suffered such insults.

This golden-winged roc not only disrespected the sages but also uttered arrogant words, truly deserving divine punishment.

Since persuasion with kind words has no effect, the only option is to use force to make people submit.

He intends to perform a technique of salvation, a technique personally taught by the Holy One who guides people, which will cause those who are affected by the technique to develop Buddha-nature.

From then on, he was devoted to the Western religion and willingly dedicated everything to it.

"Second brother, don't waste your breath arguing with this shameless bald monk."

"He is at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, while we are only at the peak of Golden Immortal. If he catches up with us, we will surely die."

"Over the past few months, we've used our supernatural abilities to escape, and we're almost at the edge of the Southern Ming Continent!"

"We heard along the way that the Three Pure Ones have opened a mountain to accept disciples. Why don't we take this opportunity to escape to Kunlun Mountain? Perhaps we can find a glimmer of hope!"

Kong Xuan was surrounded by five-colored divine light, making him appear extraordinary.

He mastered the Five Elements Law from the moment he was born, which led to the development of the supernatural power of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

This divine light can sweep away everything in battle, and can also tear through the void when escaping.

"There's no other choice now!"

"escape!"

The Golden-Winged Roc immediately agreed to Kong Xuan's proposal.

Although they are considered to be a type of creature that hatches from wet eggs and has fur and horns.

However, their foundation is solid, in no way inferior to some top-tier innate deities.

In addition, with the secret magic of the Phoenix Clan, their future potential is limitless.

That's why they were relentlessly pursued by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, forcing them to embark on this escape journey.

"Heh heh. You can't escape my grasp!"

"Listen, give chase!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave the order.

However, Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc immediately used a secret technique to instantly create a distance of hundreds of millions of miles between themselves and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Time passed slowly, and no one knew exactly how much time had gone by.

Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc felt that the magical power within their bodies was about to dry up and be exhausted.

Just when they were about to give up, the Kunlun Mountains suddenly came into view.

This immediately invigorated them, and they frantically mobilized the remaining magical power within their bodies, eventually flying to the gates of Kunlun Mountain.

boom!

With a loud bang, dust billowed into the air.

Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc staggered to the ground, collapsing from exhaustion, and landed right in front of Cang Xuan.

"This is?!"

Cang Xuan was suddenly awakened from his cultivation and immediately saw the two people in front of him.

Their Taoist robes were tattered and stained with sand and congealed blood.

"Fellow Daoists, you've come from the West, haven't you?"

Cang Xuan did not use his Time-Traveling Eye, but based on their situation, he naturally concluded that Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc were beings from the Western world.

After all, who else but creatures from the Western world would be in such a sorry state?

"This humble Taoist priest, Kong Xuan, is my second brother, the Golden-Winged Roc. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

Kong Xuan tidied his appearance and changed into an elegant Taoist robe, on which runes of five-colored divine light flowed endlessly.

He held a feather fan and wore a turban, looking dashing and heroic.

The Golden-Winged Roc beside him also tidied himself up, his Taoist robe gleaming with a crimson-gold light, and he wore a jade crown on his head.

His face was fair and delicate, like a woman's, and at a glance you could tell he was a handsome young man.

Kong Xuan continued, "We are not from the Western world. We were chased all the way here by the disciples of the Western Sect and fled from Nanming Volcano."

"We hope to become disciples of the Three Pure Ones, seeking a glimmer of hope and a connection with the Heavenly Way."

After hearing this, Cang Xuan smiled and said, "So you are Yuan Feng's son. My apologies for my rudeness."

"I was just joking, please don't take offense, fellow Daoists."

As he spoke, he gently pointed, and two spheres of the Three Lights Divine Water flew into the bodies of Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc.

In an instant, the hidden ailments and injuries they had sustained from being chased were quickly healed, and their almost depleted magical power was replenished.

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist! We are deeply grateful!"

Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc quickly bowed and thanked him.

Cang Xuan smiled and shook his head. "If you want to enter Kunlun Mountain and become a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, your aptitude and foundation are certainly sufficient."

"But your karmic ties with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva need to be settled."

He secretly activated his Eye of Time and had already discerned all the reasons.

He continued, "You fled all the way, but you never had a direct confrontation with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Could it be that the son of Yuan Feng is actually someone who fears battle?"

Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc both looked embarrassed.

It's not that they're truly afraid of fighting, but rather that the Western religion has been spreading its teachings to countless beings for thousands of years, leaving a huge psychological shadow on all the races of the ancient world.

In addition, the increasingly bizarre rumors made them feel uncertain.

As sons of Yuan Feng, their bodies are extremely powerful, far surpassing those of ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Furthermore, the supernatural powers they possess, as well as the secret techniques of the Phoenix Clan, are extremely powerful.

"Fellow Daoist, if my brother and I wish to enter Kunlun Mountain, must we defeat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Encouraged by Cang Xuan, Kong Xuan asked with full confidence.

Cang Xuan smiled and replied, "You don't need to defeat him, as long as you can fight him to a draw."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I am a direct disciple of the Three Pure Ones, and also the second-generation head of the Xuanmen sect."

"If you can pass my test, you will have the opportunity to become disciples of the Three Pure Ones."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc bowed respectfully: "Kong Xuan (Golden-Winged Roc) greets Senior Brother!"

They were secretly amazed. They had just arrived at Kunlun Mountain and had already encountered the second-generation leader of the Xuanmen sect. Their luck was truly incredible!

Cang Xuan nodded and said, "You all go and engage in battle first!"

"It's not too late to call me senior brother after the battle is over."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared before everyone on his mount, Di Ting.
