Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

He looked up at Lin Zhu, then chuckled sheepishly, "Oops, oops!"

Then, as he brushed the dust off his clothes, he complained a little, "Master, you should at least have told me before you started!"

He then took the whisk from his lower back, and with a simple smile, bowed to Lin Zhu and the Golden Spirit Mother.

"I am Taiyi Zhenren from Jinxia Cave on Qianyuan Mountain. I have met Senior Sister Jinling." Turning to look at Lin Zhu, seeing his handsome appearance, her already comical face broke into an even brighter smile. "Little brother, you are the disciple that Master found for me? You are much better looking than Nezha."

Lin Zhu realized he could move again, and looking at the Taiyi Zhenren in front of him, he thought, 'Are you kidding me? This is Taiyi Zhenren? Which version?'

Golden Spirit Mother sneered, "You fat pig, this is my last disciple. And who is your senior sister? Stop trying to get close to me."

Taiyi Zhenren felt a chill. "Senior Sister Jinling, I've just gained a little weight. Your words are hurtful, especially with Master and the others watching. Besides, don't let the younger generation laugh at me."

"Hmph!" The Golden Spirit Mother turned her head and looked at Lin Zhu, her eyes softening considerably. "Little fellow, become my disciple! Afterwards, come with me to the Three Enclosures Star Palace to cultivate."

She was somewhat domineering, after all, she was named the Mother of All Stars, ruling over all the stars in the heavens except for the Moon and the Sun. She had immense power and strength, and was at the seventh level of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

"Wait, Senior Sister Jinling, I haven't accepted any disciples yet!" Taiyi Zhenren said anxiously, standing between Lin Zhu and Jinling Shengmu, and took out eight divine swords. "Little guy, this is a gift from my master, who is also your grandmaster, to you. Quickly accept it."

As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Zhu's wrist and was about to place the Eight Desolations Divine Sword in Lin Zhu's hand. As long as Lin Zhu accepted this top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, he would become a member of their Chan Sect.

A beam of starlight formed a torrent, striking Taiyi and sending him flying.

Taiyi fell to the ground again, bouncing twice like a ball. "Senior Sister Jinling, why did you attack without warning? Didn't you give me any preparation?"

Golden Spirit Mother coldly looked at Taiyi Zhenren, "You asked for this. Do you think only your Chan Sect has treasures?"

After saying that, he also took out a sword and said to Lin Zhu, "This is a gift from your master to you, the Four Symbols Divine Sword. Although it is only a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, it is enough for you to use."

"No, Senior Sister Jinling, how could you give him an innate spiritual treasure? His strength is not high enough right now, he can't suppress it." Master Taiyi stood up, trying to persuade Jinling to change her mind.

In the group chat, the leader erupted: "You stinking fat pig, you dead fat pig! Who said Little Bamboo can't control you? You can! Little Bamboo, quickly accept this Four Symbols Divine Sword and become its disciple. You'll miss your chance!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect can't even produce a single high-grade innate spiritual treasure now. It seems they have indeed declined."

Houtu's voice rang out again.

At the same time, several powerful divine senses came to watch the spectacle.

One of them spoke up, saying, "I see that this young friend has an affinity with the West. Why don't you come to the West?"

A flash of light, and Maitreya Buddha made a dazzling appearance. "Maitreya greets Fellow Daoist Taiyi and Fellow Daoist Jinling. Young friend, greetings! Amitabha!"

"Zhunti, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you dare to come here? Give me back my disciple." Strands of sword laws rose between heaven and earth.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is joking. Their karmic ties with you have ended, and they are now people of the West. What is there to return them to?"

Lin Zhu broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like he was walking a tightrope.

Although the wisp of sword intent that Tongtian emanated was not directed at him, it still made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Then, the Six Annihilation Selflessness Sword Intent within his body was automatically activated, seemingly wanting to compete with the sword dao laws that reached the heavens.

"Sigh!" Nuwa sighed. "Look how frightened this little fellow you've made. He should just stay in my Nuwa Palace!"

"My underworld is short of a human patrol officer. How about Fellow Daoist Nuwa lend him to me?" Houtu and Nuwa discussed.

As for Lin Zhu's opinion, that's not important.

Chapter 726 After the rain, the sky is sunny

Seeing that Lin Zhu dared to draw his sword even when facing him, Tongtian became even more satisfied with him.

If before it was just to annoy Yuanshi Tianzun, now it's a genuine desire to recruit him into their inner circle.

But before he could say anything, Nuwa said, "Since Fellow Daoist Houtu has taken a liking to you, Little Bamboo, you shall go to the Underworld."

Lin Zhu was now able to speak and move freely, and felt that now was the best time to get rid of the conflict between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

As for Buddhism, is that a place for people to go?

"It's the empress!"

He bowed to heaven and earth, saying, "Your subordinate Lin Zhu pays respects to the Goddess Houtu."

“This…” Yuanshi Tianzun paused, then sighed, “Never mind, never mind.”

Tongtian also felt a little regretful, "Ah, so be it."

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Lin Zhu with a face full of reluctance, and said with his mouth agape, "My last disciple is gone just like that?"

Golden Spirit Mother retrieved the Four Symbols Divine Sword and took out a star token, tossing it to Lin Zhu. "Little fellow, you and I are destined to meet, but it's a pity we can't be master and disciple. This star token is condensed from an ancient star core and can draw upon the power of the stars in the heavens for cultivation. I'm giving it to you."

Lin Zhu reached out and took it, "Thank you, Senior Jin Ling."

"Young man, I also have a gift for you. These lotus roots taste quite good and are perfect for hot pot." Taiyi Zhenren presented three lotus roots to Lin Zhu. "If you ever pass by Qianyuan Mountain in the future, you are welcome to visit me. I will introduce you to Nezha."

This lotus root is grown from the superior innate spiritual root, the Azure Profound Lotus. Not only does it taste good, but its effects are also extremely powerful.

Nezha's current physical body is based on its bones.

Consuming it can strengthen the body and bones, and greatly increase strength.

Lin Zhu did not refuse either, "Thank you, Senior Taiyi."

At this moment, Maitreya still had a smile on his face, but he couldn't understand why his master wanted him to join in such a fun activity.

Also, should I give this greeting gift or not?

I'd be reluctant to give it to you.

If we don't give it to her, it would be disrespectful to the Goddess Houtu.

The next moment, he heard the voice of Zhunti in his ear, 'Maitreya, this boy possesses great fortune and is favored by Heaven and Earth; you should befriend him. Look at what you have in your hand.'

Maitreya opened his hand, revealing a Bodhi seed.

Then, his smile became even brighter. "Young benefactor, this humble monk has nothing much to offer, but this Bodhi seed is a small token of my appreciation."

"This..." Lin Zhu was a little hesitant to accept Buddhist items.

“Take it. Their Buddhist Ksitigarbha has collected countless merits in our underworld. It would be perfectly reasonable for them to pluck that Zhunti bald.”

With Houtu's endorsement, Lin Zhu accepted the Bodhi seed and thanked the Buddha of the East.

"You're too kind, young benefactor," Maitreya said with a smile.

Afterwards, he, Taiyi, and Jinling Shengmu all tactfully left.

Before leaving, Master Taiyi glanced at Lin Zhu one last time, a pang of heartache in his eyes, 'My disciple!'

Then I thought of my apprentice with dark circles under his eyes and huge gaps between his teeth, and I felt a headache coming on.

An apprentice should look just like Lin Zhu; it's so pleasing to the eye!

Even if all else fails, Yang Jian's looks would be fine!

He couldn't say he disliked his own apprentice, but looking at Lin Zhu...

He could only sigh inwardly, muttering somewhat dejectedly, "Never mind, Nezha is alright, but it would be better if he were a bit better looking. Also, stop thinking about Li Jing's tower all the time."

Subsequently, the divine thoughts of Nuwa, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian, and Zhunti also departed one after another.

Lin Zhu couldn't sense this, so he kept his eyes fixed ahead, his attitude very respectful.

Houtu was very satisfied with it, mainly because it was pleasing to the eye.

"Little Bamboo, you will be a member of my Underworld from now on. Although you are cultivating the cultivation techniques of my Underworld, they are not perfect yet. I will pass on the fundamental cultivation method to you. How much you can comprehend depends on your own destiny."

After saying that, two techniques appeared in Lin Zhu's mind: one was for body refinement, to create the indestructible body; the other was for soul forging, the Primordial Soul Forging Chapter.

"The Undying Body tempers the physique, unlocks the human body's treasures, and naturally develops supernatural powers. The Primordial Soul Forging Chapter focuses on cultivating the soul; once the soul is perfected, Daoist techniques will naturally arise, making it most suitable for you."

"Thank you for imparting the Dharma, Your Majesty." Lin Zhu bowed again.

"Hmm!" Houtu pondered for a moment, "You are my underworld's patrol officer in the human world, and you cannot be without treasures. Take these two treasures."

Two beams of light appeared before Lin Zhu: a seal and a long sword.

The seal was a Soul-Suppressing and Evil-Releasing Seal, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. The longsword was also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, a sword for slaying ghosts and eliminating evil.

Houtu explained, "Since the Investiture of the Gods, chaos has arisen beyond the Chaos Realm, and the true forms of all of us Dao Lords are no longer within it. The Pangu Realm has expanded too rapidly, causing the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man to become hidden. Some people possess merit and virtue, yet their hearts are wicked. Therefore, these two treasures from the Underworld have emerged in response to this need. I want you to wield these two treasures after you have achieved sufficient cultivation to suppress evil spirits and dispel evil. Is that possible?"

Lin Zhu was not opposed to this; wasn't it just about exposing hypocrites who were actually wicked?

"Your subordinate obeys."

In the Pangu Realm, having merit does not necessarily mean one is a good person.

Some practitioners, relying on their own merits for protection, appear kind and benevolent on the surface, but in reality, they engage in heinous acts.

Just like an ordinary human life, it is basically a meritorious deed.

If one possesses 100,000 merits, one can kill 100,000 people at will, and the only price one will pay in the end is the dissipation of those 100,000 merits.

The function of the Soul-Suppressing and Evil-Releasing Seal is not to attack, but to suppress the soul, release the evil thoughts in the heart, and cause it to combine with the innate evil energy, transforming into a demon or evil spirit, after which the merit will dissipate.

Then, with the sword that slays demons and vanquishes evil, he is killed and his soul is sent back to the underworld.

There are thirty-three heavens, and there are also thirty-three hells in the underworld, the last of which is the Avici Hell, where one can never be reborn.

After delivering the treasure and completing the mission, Houtu's divine sense departed.

Lin Zhu now had a black token at his waist, with the inscription "Six Paths of Reincarnation" on the back and a gate to hell in front of him, with a Daoist symbol "Token" engraved in the middle of the gate.

Big Sister: Haha, I'm rich, I'm rich! Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, Little Bamboo, bring them in quickly! I never expected that this Empress Houtu would be so generous.

Lin Zhu: Are you sure you can suppress it?

Big Sister: Why don't you just talk to them? Taking two top-grade innate spiritual treasures like that, that's too extravagant.

Lin Zhu: Of course, the entire underworld belongs to Houtu Niangniang alone. Apart from Nuwa Niangniang, Houtu Niangniang is probably the wealthiest person in the Pangu Realm. It's not convenient to communicate with them right now; we need to find a stable environment first.

Big Sister: That's true.

Wanwan: By the way, can you guess whether the spirits in these two innate spiritual treasures are male or female?

Eldest Sister: Innate spiritual treasures have no gender distinction; it depends on how the innate undying spiritual light within them is chosen. For example, since you are all women, I will appear in a female form.

Zhao Min: Then they must be male in Xiao Zhu's hands.

Big Sister: Not necessarily. They were previously in the hands of Houtu Niangniang. Since she is a goddess, she is female, so the spirits inside are most likely also female.

After the divine thoughts of many powerful beings receded, the spacetime of Tianxian Island returned to normal.

Everything slowly transitioned from stillness to dynamism.
