Li Zhi was so frightened that he hid everywhere, unable to face his own elder sister.
Li Lizhi ultimately lacked the charisma and strength of Li Xiuning, and in the end, she was unable to control Li Zhi.
In fact, if Lin Zhu were here, he would definitely have noticed why Wu Meiniang's aura felt so familiar.
I don't know if this is another scheme by the Buddhist community.
Li Lizhi and Li Wanrou were soon taken away by a mysterious master and taken as his disciples, and Li Zhi was no longer hindered in Chang'an.
Later, Wu Zetian ascended to the throne, changed her name to Wu Zhao, and established the Wu Zhou dynasty, which led to a great flourishing of Buddhism.
After all, one of Wu Zetian's male favorites was a monk.
Fortunately, the Buddhist teachings of the Tang Dynasty were very different from those of India. With the annotations of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, the Buddhist scriptures naturally contained things that were beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.
After all, the final definition of Buddhism was in the hands of Li Shimin at that time.
Therefore, although Buddhism flourished during the Wu Zhou period, the positive impact on the fortunes of Buddhism was limited.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the Tang Dynasty reached its peak and then declined, continuing its downward spiral after the An Lushan Rebellion.
As the Pangu Realm absorbed forty percent of the world's origin, the innate evil energy gradually intensified, and the special properties of the Southern Jambudvipa came into play again.
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period began.
As things stand, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period will likely last at least a century.
The Pangu Realm requires the Southern Jambudvipa to remain in a state of war.
Lin Zhu had no interest in understanding any of this; he was currently focused on condensing the Three Lights Divine Water.
He had already used 30% of his merit power, and because he was inside the Tower of Time, the workload was too heavy and somewhat boring, and time was passing very slowly, which was a test for his spirit and will.
In the celestial cave, the eldest sister and Si Qing remained silent, but the innate spiritual energy within the cave was becoming increasingly abundant, and the size of the cave was rapidly expanding.
During this process, the eldest sister did not intend to steal any of the world's origin, after all, she still valued her life.
But even these waves of chaotic tides have greatly benefited it.
All the women of the Samsara Palace, including Wu Xingyun, and all the chat group members were sent out by Houtu to slay demons and monsters.
Each of them possessed an innate spiritual treasure and fought bravely.
This also led to the major powers such as the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist Sect, and the Demon Court learning that a group of fairies had appeared in the Underworld. Not only were they all powerful, but they were also incredibly beautiful.
The later the stage, the faster the Pangu Realm absorbs the origin of the world.
The faster the world's origin is absorbed, the more frequent the wars will be in Jambudvipa.
A century has passed in the blink of an eye, and another powerful ruler has emerged in Jambudvipa.
With Zhao Kuangyin's conquest of the Central Plains, the process of Pangu Realm absorbing the origin of the world also came to an end.
Nuwa and the others pushed the world's origin, which was only one percent of its original size, toward the Pangu Realm, like a shooting star streaking across the boundless starry sky.
The pressure was applied to the Zhou Tian Star Array.
"Get up for me!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader shifted the stars, unleashing beams of stellar power upon the world's origin, shattering it. The resulting fragments coalesced in the starry sky, forming new stellar embryos.
The Star Tree shone brightly, gathering boundless stellar power and injecting it into the star embryo. As a result, tens of thousands more ancient-level stars and tens of millions of ordinary micro-stars were added to the starry sky of the Pangu Realm.
With that, everything settled down.
Atop the Jianmu tree, a shimmering emerald light flowed, and the Tower of Time ceased its exertion.
After Lin Zhu noticed this, he finished condensing the last bit of Three Lights Divine Water and then asked, "Is it over?"
"It's over." Jianmu looked at Lin Zhu and said, "Young friend, you've worked hard."
"It's nothing," Lin Zhu said, but her tone revealed her utter exhaustion.
The Tower of Time accelerates ten thousand times; what happens in the outside world takes only a few hundred years, but inside it, a million years pass.
It's not about cultivating for a million years, but about working for a million years. It's incredibly boring and practically torture.
"Boom~"
The Heavenly Dao is settling accounts. In the far east, dark clouds gather, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appears, and boundless destructive energy condenses between heaven and earth.
Hehe, kid, you've lost all your merits, haven't you? Let's see who can protect you this time!
The next moment, the Six Paths of Reincarnation rotated beneath the Jianmu tree, and Houtu appeared beside Lin Zhu. She looked up at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, said nothing, but simply mobilized the Six Paths of Reincarnation to protect Lin Zhu.
Come on, if you dare, try and destroy the cycle of reincarnation.
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment blinked twice, creating a somewhat endearing contrast.
A golden light suddenly appeared from nowhere, like a finger piercing the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
Lin Zhu seemed to feel a painful cry from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, after which the dark clouds dispersed, revealing a vast expanse of clear sky.
The appearance of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and the mobilization of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation attracted the attention of many Dao Lords.
Azure Dragon was the first to come over. He looked at Jianmu and then at Houtu. The Eye of Heavenly Punishment couldn't have been caused by either of them, so it could only be the least likely one.
He looked at Lin Zhu and asked in confusion, "But what happened? How could the Eye of Heavenly Punishment have appeared out of nowhere and been pushed back by the will of heaven and earth?"
Houtu picked up the exhausted Lin Zhu in her arms and said to Qinglong, "Don't ask about this."
Jianmu chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qinglong, it's nothing major. It concerns young friend Lin Zhu himself, so I can't reveal it."
Qinglong glanced at Lin Zhu, who was currently fast asleep in Houtu's arms, looking completely harmless. He asked, "How could he be so exhausted? He's at least a third-level Law Realm cultivator."
Houtu, somewhat protective of her own, said, "Try condensing the essence of the Azure Dragon over millions of years and extracting it."
Qinglong sensed something was wrong with her; why was she so hot-tempered now?
Before he could speak, a beam of azure light appeared.
Nuwa appeared and saw Houtu holding Lin Zhu, her expression somewhat strange.
Even if I'm exhausted, I don't deserve to be carried, do I? And it's Houtu who's carrying me. Doesn't Houtu have any dignity? This isn't your son.
However, she also felt that Lin Zhu needed to rest. Lin Zhu had really put in a lot of effort this time, and had even exhausted all his merits. Heaven and earth had to compensate him.
But she still asked, "Why did the Eye of Heaven appear?"
This time, Houtu didn't argue, but said calmly, "Let's talk in detail in the cycle of reincarnation."
"Alright!" After bidding farewell to Jianmu and Qinglong, Nuwa went to the Samsara Palace with Houtu.
Qinglong looked at Jianmu and said, "The difference in attitude is too great."
"What attitude?"
The Supreme Lord of Morality appeared, followed by the Master of Heaven, the Primordial Lord of Heaven, and other Dao Lords, all asking in unison, "What is the reason for this Eye of Heavenly Punishment?"
Qinglong retorted, "I don't know. You should ask Fellow Daoist Jianmu."
Jianmu immediately said, "It's inconvenient to reveal that. Fellow Daoists, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't we sit down and discuss the Dao?"
Chapter 1135 Nuwa says Houtu is stingy
What does it mean to sit and discuss principles?
Now that heaven and earth are merging with the origin of the world and the laws of the Dao are manifesting, wouldn't it be better to go back and cultivate in seclusion to improve my strength?
However, before that, they received the rewards from heaven and earth.
The next moment, golden light filled the Pangu Realm, and golden lotuses of merit bloomed everywhere.
This is Heaven's reward, on behalf of the world's will, to those who have rendered meritorious service.
One second they're being slapped in the face by the world's will, the next they're working for it. Truly, man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature!
Faced with the will of the world, Heaven has no temper whatsoever.
In the Samsara Palace, Houtu put Lin Zhu down and let him lie on her recliner.
Before Nuwa could even ask, three golden lotuses of merit descended. Nuwa's lotus was the largest, measuring three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in length, and seemed to be made of gold. This was the condensation of merit power into a tangible form, no less than, and perhaps even more than, the merit she had gained when she mended the heavens.
Next is Houtu, who is only slightly smaller than Nuwa, which is natural.
Lin Zhu was much smaller, only about the size of a palm, but even so, it was enough for him to instantly raise his cultivation to the peak of the Chaos Realm.
Compared to the merits invested before, the returns this time are at least a hundred times greater, comparable to what Sun Wukong gained during his journey to the West.
Houtu and Nuwa didn't care much about the merit, and accepted it casually.
"What's wrong with him? Why has he attracted the wrath of Heaven? The Eye of Heavenly Punishment has even appeared!"
Houtu smiled at Nuwa and said, "Let me show you."
The power of reincarnation manifested, and three flowers appeared above Houtu's head, radiating a mysterious golden light, triggering the laws of the Reincarnation Palace and resonating with the three flowers within Lin Zhu's body.
Thus, Lin Zhu's three flowers were brought to light.
Nuwa said upon seeing this, "A flower with twelve petals is not bad, but it is only suitable for a Dao Lord. Heaven is making a mountain out of a molehill."
Houtu looked mysterious and said, "Take another look."
After Lin Zhu's three flowers manifested, the Dao flowers on both sides moved towards the center and merged into one.
Nuwa was somewhat astonished, "How did you manage to fuse the three flowers?"
She believed that this was a backup plan left by Houtu on Lin Zhu, because Lin Zhu alone could not have made the three flowers unite.
After all, even the two of them couldn't merge the three flowers into one back then; they only had twelve petals each, and then their forms were fixed.
Houtu shook her head and said, "This is truly his own good fortune. Perhaps it's because those two cultivation techniques contain the mysteries left behind by the Father God, which he has come to understand."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Lin Zhu's head, causing the Taoist flower on her head to hide.
Nuwa nodded. "Possibly. He really is very fortunate." Then her eyes lit up. "How about this, let him join my Nuwa Palace?"
Houtu grew anxious, "Don't even think about it! Goodbye, and don't bother coming back!"
"So stingy," Nuwa rolled her eyes. "Do you think I don't know you? You're hoping he'll help you advance further, aren't you?"
Houtu laughed and said, "I have nothing to do with him. So what if that were the case? You can't have it."
Nuwa snorted, "Actually, it doesn't have to be like that. Can't you just cultivate together normally? You two are from different generations!"
Houtu said, "Those who seek the Dao do not care about these things."
