The Amorous Healer [Complete] - 29

Chapter 323 Divine Fusion (Part 1)

The Golden-Winged Roc fled far away, leaving Tathagata speechless.

However, he was, after all, a founding master of Buddhism. Although he had lost, his expression only changed slightly before he regained his calm smile.

"This Tathagata is really something! Even in this state, he can still smile." Luo Ge thought to himself, slowly walking towards Tathagata and saying, "Tathagata, what do you have to say this time?"

"Amitabha!" Tathagata chanted a Buddhist prayer, "Benefactor Luo Ge is indeed exceptionally talented. It seems that the position of Lord of the Three Realms is rightfully yours! I am willing to admit defeat and reincarnate to cultivate again."

Yi Qing immediately showed joy and snorted, "That's more like it!" Tathagata

smiled bitterly and said, "However, before I reincarnate to cultivate again, I have one more thing to tell you. I hope Benefactor Luo Ge can listen to my words."

Luo Ge did not show much joy in defeating Tathagata this time. He knew that his ability to support the transformation of the divine beast was almost entirely due to the magic power of Luo Ge. In other words, this great victory over Tathagata was a battle between him and Luo Ge against Tathagata alone. He nodded and said, "Buddha, please speak!"

"Benefactor Luo Ge..." Buddha pondered for a moment and said, "The cycle of Heaven is endless, with one rising as another falls; this is an indestructible law. However, as a being wholly divine and demonic, you must not allow the demonic path to dominate the Three Realms, otherwise the Three Realms will inevitably descend into chaos, ultimately bringing calamity to the human world!"

Luo Ge frowned slightly and said coldly, "This is probably not something you should be worrying about anymore!"

Buddha chuckled dryly and said, "Indeed... However, Ge Xiaoyao... if I were to reincarnate and cultivate again, I would naturally discard this indestructible body and cultivation I have accumulated over ten thousand years. I wonder if you could accept them as well, benefactor? They would be useful to you in your future dealings with the Three Realms!"

Yi Qing snorted coldly, "My brother Ge is already invincible in the Three Realms, what use would he have for your cultivation?"

Luo Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Qing'er, do not be rude!" He then said to Buddha, "Thank you, Buddha. If you trust Ge Xiaoyao, I would be deeply honored."

Yi Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Ge, are you really going to agree to him?"

Luo Ge smiled and nodded at Yi Qing, who reluctantly agreed.

In fact, Luo Ge had long considered this. Once Luo Ge separated from his body and reverted to his original form, his strength would naturally be greatly reduced, and he would be at Luo Ge's mercy. Now that Tathagata was willing to pass on his cultivation to him, he was naturally happy to agree.

Tathagata chuckled and said, "Good... Ge Xiaoyao, whether the Three Realms can survive this demonic tribulation depends entirely on you!" As he spoke, he closed his eyes slightly and murmured Buddhist chants. A hazy golden light slowly emerged from his body.

"Brother Ge..." Yi Qing looked at Luo Ge with some worry.

Luo Ge smiled, "Don't worry, Qing'er!"

The golden light on Tathagata's body grew brighter and brighter. Faint and ethereal Buddhist chants could be heard from the horizon, and countless fragrant petals of flowers fell, slowly landing on Tathagata and Luo Ge.

Suddenly, the golden light on Tathagata's body gathered into a golden line and shot towards Luo Ge's head. Tathagata's voice rang in Luo Ge's ears: "Ge Xiaoyao, purify your mind and concentrate your energy..."

Following Tathagata's instructions, Luo Ge closed his eyes, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and waited with focused concentration. A moment later, he felt a surge of heat enter his body from the top of his head, gradually spreading to all parts of his body, bringing him immense comfort.

The heat traveled throughout his body, eventually settling into Luo Ge's dantian.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he felt the heat cease flowing in. He opened his eyes, finding them much brighter. He slightly circulated his divine power, feeling it become even more abundant, and his heart leaped with joy.

Looking at the Buddha again, he saw that the golden light had dissipated. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Buddha!"

The Buddha opened his eyes and nodded, saying, "Good...good...Ge Xiaoyao, I have passed on all my ten thousand years of magical cultivation to you...you must take good care of yourself!"

Luo Ge nodded, "Please rest assured, Buddha!"

A smile appeared on the Buddha's face, and he added, "In that case, I will reincarnate and begin my cultivation anew!" With that, his Dharma body gradually disappeared, vanishing without a trace.

Yi Qing asked in surprise, "Brother Ge, did Tathagata really pass on all his magical power to you?"

"Yes!" Luo Ge replied, for some reason, seeing Tathagata reincarnated and cultivating again, he felt a pang of reluctance.

Yi Qing nodded, thoughtfully saying, "It seems this Tathagata is quite good after all!"

Seeing Yi Qing muttering to himself, Luo Ge smiled and said, "Qing'er, we've finished fighting Tathagata here, it's time to return to the Heavenly Realm!"

"Alright!" Yi Qing said.

Luo Ge smiled, and he and Yi Qing took a step, slowly landing on the summit of Mount Ling.

"Brother Ge, let's go see the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas again! You've received Tathagata's magical power, you should at least say goodbye!" Yi Qing said.

Luo Ge laughed, "Good! That's what I was thinking too. Besides, with all Buddhas returning to dust, I'll seal this Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas and only use it again when all Buddhas return to court."

Yi Qing nodded, "That's good too, to prevent those demons from causing trouble here!" She spread her arms as if to fly, clearly referring to the Golden-Winged Roc she had chased away.

Luo Ge laughed heartily and pulled Yi Qing towards the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

A golden light slowly shot out from Luo Ge's hand, instantly transforming into a giant golden net that covered the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. He withdrew his divine power and said to Yi Qing beside him, "Alright! From now on, they won't be able to set foot in this Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas!"

Yi Qing held Luo Ge's hand and said, "Brother Ge, you are truly the most powerful person in the Three Realms! But what should we do next?"

Luo Ge thought for a moment. Now, the Heavenly Realm was under his control, and the Buddhist Realm was also under his control. The Jade Emperor and Tathagata had both been reincarnated and reborn. According to Rogers, they now needed to refine his original form in the Divine Fire Furnace, then find Nuwa to unlock the Five-Colored Stone Crystal and rescue Chu Yu. He immediately said, "I promised that demon Rogers I would help him regain his original form, and now it's time!"

Yi Qing frowned and asked, "Why release that demon?"

Rogers chuckled, "That's what I promised him! Of course, I have to keep my word… Let's go, let's go back to the Heavenly Realm!"

Due to the reincarnation of Tathagata, the thirteen floating mountains outside Mount Ling had disappeared, leaving only a vast sea of clouds and boundless天地 (heaven and earth). Rogers looked at the white clouds floating in the air; the thirteen floating mountains of the past were nowhere to be seen, and he seemed to have grasped something.

"Whether god or demon, they can't sever the seven emotions and six desires, can they? Qing'er!" Rogers said.

Yi Qing giggled and said, "Brother Ge, who cares if he's a god or a demon, as long as he's happy! What's the point without the seven emotions and six desires!"

Rogers smiled faintly, thinking that Yi Qing was right. Only then did they speed up, flying towards the Heavenly Realm with Yi Qing.

The Heavenly Realm was orderly and peaceful; the former demons, upon arriving, seemed much more civilized.

Looking at the spotlessly clean Lingxiao Palace, teeming with vibrant immortal flowers and herbs, Luo Ge sighed inwardly, "The environment changes people, but can it also change demons?"

Shi Xinglang and the others greeted them from afar, reporting to Luo Ge everything they had done in the Heavenly Realm these past few days.

Luo Ge listened and chuckled. It turned out that although these demons hadn't wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Realm, they had changed the signs of all the palaces and immortal abodes. For example, "Jade Pool" was changed to "Blood Pool," and "Nine Heavens Pavilion" to "Ten Demon Caves," and so on.

However, these were minor matters, and Luo Ge dismissed them with a smile, saying, "Shi Xinglang, gather Luo Ge's clone demon king; let's go to the Tushita Palace!"

"Yes, Holy Envoy!" Shi Xinglang hurriedly replied, turning and leaving.

Seeing the Star-Devouring Wolf depart, Yi Qing said resentfully, "Hmph, what a bunch of demons! Such nice names, why do they all have to be so terrifying!"

Luo Ge laughed, "As long as these demons go to the mortal realm, it doesn't matter what they do in the Heavenly Realm. If they go to the mortal realm, that would be truly terrifying!"

"I wondered why the Jade Emperor and Buddha so easily handed over the Heavenly Realm and the Western Buddhist Realm. It turns out they were afraid these demons would disturb the mortal realm!" Yi Qing said thoughtfully.

Luo Ge nodded, "The catastrophe in the divine realm has probably only just begun!"

"If..." Yi Qing thought for a moment, "I mean, if Brother Ge didn't release that Luo Ge demon, wouldn't this catastrophe not exist?"

Luo Ge smiled faintly and shook his head, "That's impossible. Even if I don't release him, he'll find a way to come out on his own. Then things will probably be even worse!"

"Hahaha..." A sinister laugh suddenly came from the Lingxiao Palace.

Roger frowned slightly and whispered to Yi Qing, "No matter what happens later, don't say a word!"

Yi Qing also found the voice strange and nodded cautiously.

"Roger, you did well... Now the Heavenly Realm and the Buddhist Realm are under our control!" the sinister voice said; it was the demon Roger.

Roger chuckled, "Roger, I was just about to go find the Divine Fire Furnace to refine your original form!" Roger

let out a low laugh: "Alright, but... you'll need all my clones to be thrown into the Divine Fire Furnace to refine my original form."

"Damn! What's the big deal? It's just eliminating a hundred or so demons, just what I want!" He raised his head and laughed, "No problem!" He paused and then asked, "Should I also be thrown into the Divine Fire Furnace to be refined?"

"Hahaha..." Roger let out a sharp laugh and said, "No need for that. You're my super soldier; how could I bear to let you be melted down!"

"That puts my mind at ease!" Roger laughed.

"Alright... From now on, you can ask me anytime you have any questions!" Rogers added.

Rogers nodded, thinking to himself, "If I don't ask you, and you're eventually refined to death, I can't bear the responsibility!"

After a long while, Rogers' voice fell silent, and Yi Qing asked hesitantly, "Brother Ge... is this the demon?"

Rogers nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then why can't we see him?" Yi Qing asked.

Rogers laughed and said, "He's an intangible thing, anyway, I don't know what he is!" He sighed and said, "Maybe he's not even a thing!"

Yi Qing nodded half-believingly and asked, "What is that divine fire furnace?"

Rogers said, "It's the alchemy furnace of Laozi."

"Who is Laozi?" Yi Qing asked again.

Luo Ge smiled and realized that Yi Qing truly knew nothing about the Heavenly Realm. He patiently explained, "Taishang Laojun is a deity in the Heavenly Realm, second only to the Jade Emperor. Besides managing the affairs of the Heavenly Realm, he also focuses on refining various elixirs. That alchemy furnace is used for refining elixirs... It is said to have the power of the Nine Revolutions Refining the World! However, I have never seen it, but we will see it soon!"

Yi Qing nodded, looked at Luo Ge, and said, "Brother Ge, I am still a little worried!"

"Worried about what? It has nothing to do with us!" Luo Ge smiled and comforted Yi Qing, but a faint sense of unease seemed to arise in his heart.

Just then, the Star-Devouring Wolf had already entered the Lingxiao Palace and said to Luo Ge, "Holy Envoy, all the demon kings with Luo Ge's clones have gathered!"

Luo Ge smiled and said, "Let's go... let's go to Taishang Laojun's Tushita Palace."

Chapter 324 God and Buddha Fusion (Part 2)

The Star-Devouring Wolf nodded and led the way. Luo Ge and Yi Qing then walked out of the Lingxiao Palace.

Outside the hall, a hundred demon kings had gathered, chattering amongst themselves. It seemed they were discussing the Demon Envoy's plan to share the elixir left by Laozi.

Luo Ge thought to himself, "What elixir sharing? You'll all become ingredients for alchemy in a moment!"

Before these low-level demons, Luo Ge's expression was cold and stern, his murderous gaze sweeping over the group, immediately silencing them. "Star-Devouring Wolf, take them to the Tushita Palace!"

"Yes, Envoy!" Star-Devouring Wolf replied, leading the demons towards the Tushita Palace.

The Tushita Palace was located to the left of the Lingxiao Palace, about a hundred miles away. Luo Ge, Yi Qing, and the demons flew at top speed, and in just a short while, they could smell a strange fragrance of elixir from afar, and even see purple mist swirling around it.

Entering the Tushita Palace, a huge gourd-shaped alchemy furnace stood before them. The furnace was decorated with dragons and phoenixes, surrounded by auspicious clouds, its ancient appearance radiating golden light.

Eight enormous yin-yang intricately carved mirrors were inlaid on the furnace body, faintly revealing the blackened charcoal inside.

A hundred or so demons stormed into the Tushita Palace. The Star-Devouring Wolf, lured by the fragrant aroma of elixirs, chuckled to Luo Ge, "Holy Envoy, I wonder if the Supreme Lord Laozi left any elixirs behind? Let the brothers search!"

Luo Ge smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Alright! You can search, but don't destroy anything!"

Watching the demons gleefully and cautiously rummage through boxes, gourds, and bottles, Luo Ge chuckled inwardly, "A bunch of idiots! Would the Supreme Lord Laozi be so kind as to leave elixirs for these demons before leaving?"

Sure enough, after a long commotion, the demons returned disappointed.

While the demons searched the Tushita Palace for elixirs, Luo Ge had thoroughly examined the alchemy furnace, finding no flame, no firewood, no charcoal, no gasoline, no alcohol, or anything similar in the surrounding area.

The alchemy furnace was ice cold.

"Damn it! How are we supposed to refine anything like this?" Luo Ge cursed angrily. "Laozi, Laozi... he's so stingy! He didn't leave any elixir, not even a spark of fire in this furnace!"

At this moment, the demons seemed to have lost all civility, cursing Laozi. If Laozi were here, he would surely vomit blood on the spot.

Yi Qing smiled inwardly, remaining silent. She had no concept of gods or demons, nor of civilization; she found the chaotic scene of these little demons quite amusing. Seeing Luo Ge frown, she smiled and asked, "Brother Ge, what's wrong?"

Luo Ge replied, "Oh... Qing'er, nothing. I just noticed there's no fire in this divine fire furnace, and I'm trying to figure something out!"

Yi Qing smiled and said, "Fire... that's easy!"

She lightly raised her jade-like hand, and a sliver of golden light appeared on her slender, snow-white fingers. The light flickered a few times and suddenly burst into a burst of bright red flame. "Brother Ge, isn't this enough?"

Luo Ge smiled, thinking to himself, "If this works, wouldn't everyone be able to refine a golden elixir?"

However, he didn't say this aloud, but instead said, "Then you should try it!" He knew that Yi Qing wouldn't believe it if he didn't try. Not just Yi Qing, but all women were like that.

Yi Qing smiled and said, "Okay!" As she spoke, the red flame, supported by her golden true energy, was slowly extended into the divine fire furnace.

The flame flickered twice at the bottom of the divine fire furnace before going out. Yi Qing asked in confusion, "Huh... what's going on?" She increased her divine power, but no matter how much she exerted her divine power, she couldn't ignite a single flame in the furnace.

"Alright... Qing'er, it's no use!" Luo Ge then said, "This divine fire furnace can only be lit with Samadhi True Fire!"

Yi Qing asked in surprise, "Samadhi True Fire? What kind of fire is that?"

"If only I knew what kind of fire it was!" Roger thought to himself, shaking his head with a wry smile, "I don't know either!"

"Where do we get Samadhi True Fire?" Yi Qing asked again.

Roger shook his head again, "I know even less about that!"

At this moment, the demons exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why the seemingly omnipotent Demon Envoy in their eyes also had his difficulties.

The Star-Eating Wolf pondered for a moment and said, "Envoy Roger, what should we do now?" Roger

thought for a moment and said, "It seems we have to ask Roger again!" He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and called out twice, "Roger..."

"Hahaha..." A sharp laugh came from mid-air. Roger said, "Roger... what difficulties have you encountered?"

Roger frowned and said, "Roger, it's not that I don't want to help you, but there's no fire in this divine fire furnace. How can we refine it?"

“Is that so…” Rogers paused for a moment, then said, “This Divine Fire Furnace is an ancient divine object. Only the Zeus Fire of Prometheus, the ancient god of the West, the Samadhi True Fire of the Heavenly Realm, and the Universal Salvation Fire of the Western Buddhist Realm can ignite it!”

Rogers sighed, “But where can we find these three kinds of fire? Now all the gods have descended to the mortal realm to reincarnate and cultivate again. There isn’t a single god who can obtain the Samadhi True Fire!” In fact, he thought to himself, “Old Demon, if you can’t find the Samadhi True Fire either, then don’t blame me for not helping you!”

Rogers was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, “Although the Samadhi True Fire cannot be found in the Heavenly Realm, and the ancient gods of the West are nowhere to be found, perhaps the Universal Salvation Fire can be found in the Western Buddhist Realm!”

Rogers thought for a moment and said, “We already saw it in the Buddhist Realm back then. All the Buddhas have reincarnated. Where can we find the Universal Salvation Fire?”

Rogers laughed and said, “Rogers… it’s true that all the Buddhas have reincarnated and cultivated again, but you seem to have forgotten that there is one Buddha who has not reincarnated!”

"Who is it?" Roger asked.

Roger replied, "It's that Golden-Winged Roc. Although he has a bird's body, he has actually achieved enlightenment. Perhaps he possesses the Flame of Salvation!"

"Damn! Why didn't you say so earlier? Otherwise, I would have just put that stupid bird in a cage and brought it here!" Roger thought to himself, and then said, "In that case, wouldn't I have to go back to the Western Paradise?"

Roger laughed and said, "Roger... are you really that impatient to refine my original form?"

"To be honest, that's true!" Roger thought to himself, but smiled and said, "Not at all. I just thought that the Golden-Winged Roc was seriously injured and probably has already run off somewhere. It won't be easy to find him!"

"Hahaha..." Roger laughed heartily, "I knew you, Roger, would definitely find a way to find the Golden-Winged Roc! After all, you are my super warrior!"

Roger gave a wry smile and said, "Alright... but your magic power is boundless, could you guide me to where that Golden-Winged Roc is now?"

Roger was silent for a long time, "Roger... although I have supreme magic power, it is limited to a special period. Right now, my magic power cannot even leave you within ten miles, so you will have to find a way to find the Golden-Winged Roc yourself!"

Roger thought for a moment and said, "In that case, then... " "I'll go to the Western Paradise again, but whether I can find the Golden-Winged Roc or not, I dare not make a definitive judgment!"

Roger laughed heartily. "Don't worry, Roger... I will never treat you unfairly. I have calculated with my magic that Nuwa has activated the Five-Colored Stone Crystal, and your Chu Yu'er will be reincarnated soon. If you don't want to miss her again, quickly transform my Dharma body back into your original form. Then you will be free!"

Roger nodded, he was seriously considering the matter. "Alright... I will find the Universal Salvation Fire as soon as possible, ignite the Divine Fire Furnace, and restore your original form!"

"Good! Good! I wish you success!" Roger let out a triumphant laugh, and then fell silent.

Yiqing rolled her beautiful eyes and asked, "Brother Ge, are you really going to find that ugly bird?"

Luo Ge nodded and said, "I have no choice! Qing'er, let's go now!"

Just then, a chaotic commotion and sounds of fighting suddenly came from outside the Doushuai Palace. Someone shouted, "You demons, I'll fight you to the death!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Ge's eyes, because he was extremely familiar with that voice, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. The demons were all startled, and without waiting for Luo Ge's orders, the Star-Eating Wolf and more than ten demon kings rushed out.

Perhaps because they were getting closer to the Doushuai Palace, the fighting outside became more intense. It looked like there were quite a few people fighting, but in fact, there were constant screams of demons, and the sound of divine power tearing through the air was incessant. Many of the blows hit the roof of the Doushuai Palace, and bricks and tiles shattered and fell to the ground.

"Brother Ge, let's go out and see..." Yiqing couldn't help but say.

Luo Ge didn't move, gently shaking his head. He didn't answer Yi Qing's question, but coldly said to the Star-Devouring Wolves rushing outside, "Don't hurt them! Capture them all alive and lock them in the Heavenly Prison. Guard them well! Don't injure them!"

The Star-Devouring Wolves were stunned, their figures suddenly stopping. They turned back to Luo Ge and said, "Yes, Holy Envoy!" Then they turned and led the demon kings to rush outside.

Luo Ge's eyes were fixed on the outside of the hall, still unmoved. He heard the Star-Devouring Wolves shout loudly outside the hall, "How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the Heavenly Demon Realm!"

"Hmph! This Heavenly Realm originally belonged to us. It was the Jade Emperor's incompetence that gave this Heavenly Realm to you demons. How can we let it go so easily!" someone shouted.

Luo Ge's brows twitched, and he frowned slightly. The sounds of fighting came from outside the hall again, clearly indicating that the Star-Devouring Wolves and their group had already started fighting with the newcomers.

The Star-Eating Wolf and his companions were demon kings of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the demons he brought along were all avatars of Roger, their demonic power naturally no less than that of any of the gods. Moreover, they were all equipped with Demonic Calamity Spirit Wine and divine weapons given to them by Roger.

These divine weapons, in particular, were personally collected by the Jade Emperor; each one was an ancient artifact of unparalleled power in the Three Realms. In the hands of these demon kings, they disregarded the use of techniques, focusing solely on killing blows, multiplying their power many times over.

Therefore, although the shouts and the whooshing sounds of true energy tearing through the air during the fight grew increasingly intense, there were very few cries of injury or death.

"Brother Ge, why don't we go out and take a look?" Yi Qing asked in surprise.

Roger shook his head and said, "Qing'er, don't worry about it. The Star-Eating Wolf and the others can handle it!"

Although Yi Qing was full of questions, hearing Roger's resolute words, she knew there was something he couldn't say, so she didn't ask further, but instead listened intently to the fighting outside the hall.

As the fighting outside the hall gradually subsided, one voice still screamed hoarsely, "You demons! Gods and demons have been irreconcilable since ancient times! I will perish with you all!"

A young woman, startled, looked at Luo Ge with worry.

Luo Ge looked at her, then shook his head, saying, "It's alright, Star-Devouring Wolf will handle it!"

Sure enough, Star-Devouring Wolf roared, the sound of him unleashing his full demonic power. After a whooshing sound, the man's screams ceased.

Chapter 325 Divine Fusion (Part 2)

The fighting stopped, and Luo Ge sighed softly.

Star-Devouring Wolf rushed in, his left arm stained with blood, clearly indicating the intense battle had injured him as well. "Reporting to the Holy Envoy, all those celestial beings who came from who-knows-where have been captured! Following the Holy Envoy's orders, they were all captured alive; not a single one was killed or self-harmed, however…" He hesitated, wanting to speak but then remaining silent, glancing at Luo Ge's expression.

Hearing that those people hadn't died, Luo Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. "But what?"

"But...but..." Star-Eating Wolf hesitated for a moment before saying, "We suffered heavy casualties; more than twenty of our brothers died."

In fact, Luo Ge knew that to subdue those gods, a considerable price would have to be paid, so he wasn't particularly surprised. He sighed slightly and said, "In mutual combat, casualties are inevitable. Go...choose a sacred mountain and bury them!"

Star-Eating Wolf nodded. He knew this was the best treatment Luo Ge could give them, and immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Holy Envoy!" He then turned and went out to make the arrangements.

Luo Ge glanced at Yi Qing, who still looked puzzled, and smiled, "Qing'er, don't think about it anymore! It's nothing, we're going to the Western Paradise now!"

Yi Qing looked at Luo Ge, then glanced outside the hall, and said, "Brother Ge, don't you want to see who those people are?"

Luo Ge shook his head, "Who those people are has nothing to do with me right now!" He paused slightly, feeling a sharp pain in his heart, but then said, "Don't worry about them! The most important thing for us now is to find the Golden-Winged Roc and obtain the Universal Salvation Flame!"

He gazed deeply at Yi Qing, "Help me!"

Yi Qing nodded, smiled sweetly, and stepped forward to take Luo Ge's arm, saying, "Brother Ge, didn't Qing'er say that no matter what, Qing'er will always help you!"

"Thank you, Qing'er!" Luo Ge felt a surge of emotion and couldn't help but embrace Yi Qing's slender waist.

Yi Qing nestled in Luo Ge's arms and whispered, "Brother Ge, are you unhappy?"

Luo Ge smiled, "No..."

Yi Qing said coquettishly, "Don't lie to me! I can tell!"

"Sigh... another sensitive girl!" Luo Ge sighed inwardly, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just felt a little uneasy because I heard that some gods came to cause trouble!"

"Is that so?" Yi Qing stared at Luo Ge with her clear eyes, as if trying to see through his heart.

"Yes!" Luo Ge smiled and tapped her delicate nose with his fingertip, "You just love to overthink things! Alright... we should go now!"

"Okay!" Yi Qing nodded, got up from Luo Ge, and said, "Brother Ge, where do you think that ugly bird went?"

Luo Ge thought for a moment and said, "Heaven knows where it went! But it should probably still be in the Western Paradise!"

"Then let's go to the Western Paradise to find it..." Yi Qing said.

Emerging from the Tushita Palace, the demons outside had dispersed. The shallow craters left by the impact of divine power and scattered blood on the ground hinted at the intensity of the battle.

Luo Ge sighed softly, shook his head slightly, and without greeting the Star-Eating Wolves, pulled Yi Qing into the air, heading west.

Before Mount Ling, Luo Ge and Yi Qing floated in mid-air. Without the concealment of the thirteen floating mountains, Mount Ling stood upright amidst the vast sea of clouds. Since the Buddha had reincarnated and begun his cultivation, Mount Ling no longer shone with the light of ten thousand Buddhas, now appearing as tranquil as an ordinary mountain peak.

"A mountain is not valued for its height, but for the immortals dwelling there; water is not valued for its depth, but for the dragons residing within." At this moment, Luo Ge suddenly recalled these two sayings. He sighed inwardly, "Mount Ling, Mount Ling, without Buddha and deities, Mount Ling loses its spirit!"

Yi Qing, oblivious to Luo Ge's thoughts, gazed at Mount Ling and said, "Brother Ge, let's shout and see if the Golden-Winged Roc comes out!"

Luo Ge chuckled, "That Golden-Winged Roc is injured by you; it's too busy hiding from you now. If you shout, it'll probably disappear even further!"

"Then what do we do?" Yi Qing asked.

Luo Ge smiled, "Let's climb one mountain after another!" With that, he soared into the air, heading straight for the golden summit of Mount Ling.

On the Ten Thousand Buddha Platform in front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, tens of thousands of Buddha statues were carved flat onto a massive stone platform. Luo Ge immediately noticed a newly added stone auspicious cloud-shaped incense burner in the center of the platform.

Inside the burner, there seemed to be some fresh flowers and sandalwood, with wisps of smoke rising faintly.

Above the gate of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Luo Ge's divine power seal remained unchanged. He smiled faintly and said to Yi Qing, "It seems that the Golden-Winged Roc still has quite a fondness for this Spirit Mountain; indeed, he hasn't left."

"Then where could he be?" Yi Qing also noticed the incense burner, which was not there before.

At this time, all the Buddhas had descended to the mortal realm, and naturally, apart from the Golden-Winged Roc, no one else would come to set up this incense burner.

“Qing’er,” Luo Ge thought for a moment and said, “Since the Golden-Winged Roc hasn’t left, I think we don’t need to search for him everywhere. We can just sit here quietly, and he will surely come back!”

Yi Qing looked around, but there was no one there. Moreover, this Spirit Mountain was vast, and finding a Golden-Winged Roc would probably be no easier than finding a mouse in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. So she nodded and said, “Alright then, we’ll wait here.”

“Qing’er, look how thoughtful this Golden-Winged Roc is! He even put fresh flowers in the incense burner, so that the fragrance has a hint of floral scent!” Luo Ge and Yi Qing found a clean rock to sit on. With nothing to do, Luo Ge casually started a conversation.

Yi Qing was thinking about how the Golden-Winged Roc would appear in front of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Would he still fly over with those wings that blotted out the sky? If so, the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas would probably be too big to contain him.

Moreover, the gale his wings created could almost blow the incense burner away. She really didn’t know how he got those fresh flowers and incense into the incense burner.

Hearing Luo Ge's question, Yi Qing pondered for a moment and then laughed, "Yes, if we look at it that way, the Golden-Winged Roc should look like a girl!"

"Haha...yes, if the Golden-Winged Roc really is a girl, what would she look like?" Luo Ge chuckled. Since they were just killing time anyway, it wouldn't hurt for Yi Qing to chatter a bit to pass the time.

Yi Qing raised an eyebrow and burst out laughing. An image of a plump, middle-aged woman covered in feathers immediately flashed into her mind. "Brother Ge, really..."

Luo Ge laughed too. He looked up at the sky; it was almost dark. He said, "Maybe not. It's said to be born of a phoenix. Phoenixes are so beautiful, it shouldn't be too ugly, right?"

"Hmm...hmm!" Yi Qing nodded emphatically, indicating her support for Luo Ge's idea. She pondered for a moment and then asked, "If its mother is a phoenix, then who is its father?"

Luo Ge smiled and shook his head. He really hadn't thought about that question. The legend he'd heard in modern times was that the Golden-Winged Roc and the Peacock were born of the Phoenix. The Peacock, fond of eating people, swallowed the Buddha whole. The Buddha then cut open its back and emerged, recognizing it as the Peacock Buddha Mother. Thus, the Golden-Winged Roc was the Buddha's uncle, and the Phoenix was his maternal grandmother. But who was the Buddha's maternal grandfather? He'd never heard of any legend mentioning it.

"Hehe..." Yi Qing chuckled again, clearly amused by her own question. However, glancing at Luo Ge, her face flushed instantly. After all, it wasn't exactly aboveboard for a girl to think about the Phoenix's husband.

She took a deep breath, patted her cheeks with her delicate hand, and seeing Luo Ge's absent-minded expression, asked again, "Brother Ge, what are you thinking about?"

Luo Ge sighed softly and said leisurely, "I'm thinking about who the Buddha's maternal grandfather was."

Yi Qing chuckled again, but her eyes held a sly glint as she said, "Brother Ge, you've inherited the Buddha's ten thousand years of cultivation and indestructible body, so you're practically half a Buddha, aren't you!"

Luo Ge was slightly puzzled, wondering why Yi Qing suddenly brought this up. But when he saw Yi Qing's ambiguous smile, he immediately understood. He stepped forward and hugged Yi Qing tightly. "You little Qing'er, how dare you make fun of your brother Ge! See how I deal with you!"

Yi Qing laughed heartily, unable to break free from Luo Ge's tight embrace. She still chuckled and said, "Then when you see that ugly bird, you must call him uncle, and you must not hurt him, and... hehe..."

"You little Qing'er, you dare to say that..." Luo Ge chuckled, one hand tightly around Yi Qing's slender waist, while the other hand reached towards her armpit.

Yi Qing struggled desperately, trying to break free from Luo Ge's attack. She laughed so hard she could barely breathe, still relentlessly insisting, "And...you absolutely must ask who your grandfather is! Hehe..."

Luo Ge chuckled wickedly, "Qing'er, I didn't expect you to have become so naughty after only a few days out of the Demon-Subduing Mirror! Watch how powerful I am..." As he spoke, his large hand tickled Yi Qing's softest spot under her armpit several times, eliciting another scream and burst of laughter from her.

"Alright...Brother Ge...I won't do it again, please forgive me!" Yi Qing finally couldn't hold back and began to beg for mercy.

Her face was flushed from the struggle and laughter, and her forehead was already covered in sweat.

Seeing Yi Qing beg for mercy, Ge Xiaoyao finally stopped. However, he still didn't release Yi Qing, letting her soft, warm body lean against him.

"Mmm..." Yi Qing gasped for breath, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Brother Ge, you're so naughty, you're making me laugh!"

"Really?" Luo Ge stared intently at Yi Qing's heaving chest and her stunningly beautiful face, mischievously saying.

"It's just..." Yi Qing seemed oblivious to Luo Ge's wicked intentions, still muttering to herself.

Luo Ge chuckled, suddenly grabbing Yi Qing's neck and pressing his lips against hers, saying, "I'll show you something even naughtier now!"

"Ah!" Yi Qing was caught off guard and screamed, but her voice trailed off as Luo Ge's lips pressed firmly against hers. She could only manage a low moan.

A roar went through Yi Qing's mind as she greedily responded to Luo Ge's actions, as if she had longed for this moment, occasionally letting out a muffled whimper, her arms already involuntarily wrapped around Luo Ge's waist.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Ge finally raised his head, quietly gazing at the exquisitely beautiful woman in his arms.

The sky gradually darkened, with only the bright flames from the incense burner illuminating the deeply affectionate couple.

Yi Qing lay limply in Luo Ge's arms, her arms still draped around his neck, unwilling to let go. Her fragrant lips parted slightly, her eyes were closed, and the flush on her face remained vivid, as if she were still immersed in the blissful world she had just experienced and unwilling to wake up.

"Qing'er... Qing'er..." Luo Ge called softly twice.

"Mmm... Brother Ge..." Yi Qing responded languidly.

Luo Ge slowly removed her arm from his shoulder and released her body. Yi Qing then opened her eyes, somewhat surprised, and said, "Ah, how come it's dark!"

Luo Ge shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, "This Qing'er, she was too engrossed in the moment, she didn't even notice it was dark!" He then said, "Yes, the fire in this incense burner is almost gone, I think that Golden-Winged Roc will be here soon!"

Yi Qing looked at the incense burner, and sure enough, the flames were gradually dimming.

Chapter 326 Robbing the Lamp (Part 1)

However, a night passed, and the Golden-Winged Roc did not even appear.

As the sky gradually brightened, Yi Qing yawned and said, "Brother Ge, do you think that ugly bird will really come back?"

Luo Ge stretched his limbs, and the fatigue of the night instantly disappeared. Although having a beautiful woman in his arms was a good thing, if the beautiful woman fell asleep in his arms, it was probably not a good thing. Luo Ge had held Qing all night, and his arms were still a little sore. Fortunately, he had divine power, and after circulating his divine power twice, everything was fine.

"Strange, the Golden-Winged Roc should have come! Look, the fire in the incense burner has already gone out!" Luo Ge wondered. "Perhaps something happened that delayed the Golden-Winged Roc from coming to add incense."

"Sigh, Brother Ge, could it be that I hit him too hard, causing his old injuries to flare up and he's dead?" Yi Qing suddenly asked.

Luo Ge chuckled. "How could that be? He's a true Buddha who has attained enlightenment, how could he die so easily?"

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a sharp whistling and roaring sound from afar.

Luo Ge and Yi Qing couldn't help but fly into the air and look in that direction. They saw that amidst the red glow of the rising sun, the clouds were churning and surging with golden light, and within the clouds, a Golden-Winged Roc with wings that could blot out the sky and a five-clawed dragon with golden scales were fiercely fighting.

"The Ugly Bird is over there!" Yi Qing's face lit up with joy, and he was about to rush forward.

Luo Ge grabbed Yi Qing and laughed, "Qing'er, no rush, let's watch the show first. Actually, this dragon-and

-eagle battle is quite spectacular." In truth, he wanted to let the golden dragon and the roc fight first. Once they were both injured, he would intervene. If the roc lost, he would help him; if the roc won, he would simply defeat him. He would use both soft and hard tactics to force him to submit.

Yi Qing glanced at Luo Ge, then remained still, watching the dragon and eagle fight in the distance.

Amidst swirling clouds and golden light, the golden-winged roc flapped its long wings, sometimes rising into the sky, then swooping down again. The powerful winds generated by its wings pulverized the clouds.

Although the golden-winged roc was powerful, the golden dragon was no weakling either. Its long body coiled nimbly, its five golden claws were incredibly sharp, and its enormous mouth constantly spewed out tongues of fire and smoke, forcing the golden-winged roc to stay away.

A bird and a dragon fought fiercely for a long time, the sky filled with tattered feathers and dragon scales. Suddenly, a long laugh rang out, and the five-clawed golden dragon transformed into a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly grace. The golden-winged roc also let out a sharp cry, transforming into a middle-aged man with sunken eyes and a protruding nose, dressed in layman's attire.

"Haha... Brother Dragon, I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, your cultivation would remain as strong as ever!" said the golden-winged roc.

The Taoist priest was none other than Long Xiaotian, the Dragon Immortal Protector from ten thousand years ago. He laughed heartily and said, "Brother Peng, you are too kind. It must be that Brother Peng follows the Buddha's teachings, and your cultivation is indeed excellent!"

The two clearly did not notice Luo Ge and Yi Qing in the far distance.

When Luo Ge saw that the person was Long Xiaotian, he was startled and thought to himself, "He is not in the human world, what is he doing in this Buddhist realm?" Just then,

he heard the Golden-Winged Roc say, "Golden Dragon Venerable, do you know where Dipankara Buddha is reincarnated now?"

Yi Qing obviously also heard the Golden-Winged Roc's words. She glanced at Luo Ge, and Luo Ge shushed her, signaling her not to speak.

Long Xiaotian laughed and asked, "I wonder what Buddha Dapeng wants with Buddha Dipankara?"

The Golden-Winged Roc chuckled, "To be honest, Brother Long, now that all Buddhas have descended to the mortal realm, the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas is sealed, and I can't even enter. So I set up an incense burner outside."

Long Xiaotian chuckled, "So Brother Peng wants to ask Buddha Dipankara's Universal Salvation Fire to light this incense burner!"

The Golden-Winged Roc smiled and said, "That's exactly what I wanted. That Universal Salvation Fire never dies, saving me a lot of trouble."

Hearing their conversation, Luo Ge thought to himself, "So this Golden-Winged Roc also wants to find Buddha Dipankara's Universal Salvation Fire." He then wondered, "But what is the relationship between Long Xiaotian and Buddha Dipankara? Why does the Golden-Winged Roc call him the Golden Dragon Venerable? Could it be that Long Xiaotian has already converted to Buddhism?"

He shook his head inwardly, "No, during the Dragon Immortal War, he was the one who resisted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed by Tathagata, his primordial spirit sealed in the Dragon-Slaying Blade."

At this moment, Long Xiaotian said, "Unfortunately, Dipankara Buddha, following the decree of Tathagata Buddha, descended to the mortal realm to reincarnate and cultivate again. Even I don't know where he went."

The Golden-Winged Roc coldly laughed, "Golden Dragon Venerable, as Dipankara Buddha's mount, how could you not know where he reincarnated? Besides, since Dipankara Buddha has reincarnated, why are you still in this Buddhist realm?"

Long Xiaotian also laughed, "Brother Roc, I'm afraid that's not your business. Besides... since Tathagata Buddha decreed that all Buddhas reincarnate, why don't you go down to the mortal realm to reincarnate?"

Luo Ge was even more puzzled, "So Long Xiaotian is actually Dipankara Buddha's mount. Then who is the Long Xiaotian in the Dragon-Slaying Blade?"

"Hmph... Long Xiaoyi, don't be so ungrateful. You, a mere Dragon Immortal, dare to speak to this Buddha like that?!" the Golden-Winged Roc roared angrily.

Luo Ge was shocked. So this person wasn't Long Xiaotian, but why did he look so much like Long Xiaotian?

"Haha... Golden-Winged Roc, don't think you're something special just because you have the empty title of Buddha's uncle. To be honest, you're just a pet bird raised by Buddha!" Long Xiaoyi retorted sarcastically.

The Golden-Winged Roc's face turned green with rage. He said bitterly, "Long Xiaoyun, back then you impersonated your elder brother, leading the Dragon Immortals to surrender to the Heavenly Realm and the Buddhist Realm, selling the Dragon Immortal clan to Buddha and the Jade Emperor as slaves, ruining your twin brother Long Xiaotian's lifelong reputation! If your elder brother Long Xiaotian knew of such a despicable act, I wonder what his reaction would be?"

Luo Ge was startled again, thinking to himself, "So this is the kind of guy who betrayed the Dragon Immortal clan!"

Long Xiaoyi's expression suddenly changed, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes. He said, "Golden-Winged Roc, don't speak nonsense and ruin my reputation!" The

Golden-Winged Roc chuckled and said, "Brother Long, why are you so angry? I was just speaking casually, and I haven't told anyone else. As long as you reveal the place of the reincarnation of Dipankara Buddha, I swear to keep this secret forever."

Long Xiaoyi glanced at the Golden-Winged Roc and asked, "Is this true?"

“I, Golden Roc, once I have made a promise, how could I go back on my word?” the Golden-Winged Roc said solemnly.

Long Xiaoyi pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up, staring intently at the Golden-Winged Roc, and chuckled, "Brother Roc, you took the Universal Salvation Fire of Dipankara Buddha, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just lighting an incense burner!"

The Golden-Winged Roc chuckled, "Brother Long, don't worry about that. Just tell me where Dipankara Buddha reincarnated!" Long Xiaoyi

nodded and laughed again, "What's there to worry about? Since we both know each other's secrets, what can't we say?" He laughed wildly and said, "Then let me guess. This Universal Salvation Fire has been burning for ten thousand years and can ignite everything in the world. I'm afraid you wouldn't use it to burn down the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, would you?"

The Golden-Winged Roc laughed heartily, his deep voice saying, "Brother Long's imagination is indeed rich! But this time you're wrong. If the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall is burned down, where will I go to worship Buddha?"

Long Xiaoyi also laughed heartily, "Brother Roc, is that an admission? Because I've never heard of the Golden-Winged Roc ever going to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall to worship Buddha!"

"Since we both understand each other, why bother saying it out loud?" the Golden-Winged Roc sneered. "Brother Dragon, you'd better tell me quickly where the Buddha Dipankara is now!"

At this moment, Luo Ge was furious. "So these two aren't good people after all. I was going to ask them nicely, but now it seems I'll have to use my full strength!"

"Haha..." Long Xiaoyun laughed, "The Buddha Dipankara didn't actually descend to the mortal realm. He's currently in seclusion at Qiyun Mountain, three hundred miles from Mount Ling!"

The Golden-Winged Roc's face lit up with joy, "Really? I'll go ask him for some Universal Salvation Fire right now, hahaha..."

Long Xiaoyun also laughed, but then said sinisterly, "Brother Roc, I'm afraid the Buddha Dipankara won't believe you when you say you used Universal Salvation Fire to light up the incense hut."

The Golden-Winged Roc was taken aback, "I'm asking him for it as the Buddha's uncle, does he not even give me that much face?"

Long Xiaoyun chuckled, "Although Dipankara and the Buddha have different statuses, their Buddhist cultivation is quite similar. This isn't a matter of face, but rather that your intentions are impure. With his power, he can certainly see through your intentions!"

The Golden-Winged Roc frowned, "Then what should I do?"

Long Xiaoyun chuckled, "As long as Brother Roc listens to me, the Universal Salvation Fire will be readily available!"

The Golden-Winged Roc nodded, "Does Brother Long only outwardly obey the Buddha Dipankara?"

"Hahaha..." Long Xiaoyun laughed heartily, "The Western Paradise has been destroyed... It's time for me, the Golden Dragon, to soar freely through the heavens! I will no longer be someone else's slave!"

The Golden-Winged Roc and Long Xiaoyun laughed at the same time, and finally the Golden-Winged Roc said, "Good! What brilliant plan do you have, Brother Dragon? Please tell us!"

"What brilliant plan do you have?" Long Xiaoyun chuckled and said, "I have served Randeng for thousands of years and know him inside and out. Now he is cultivating supreme Buddhism on Qiyun Mountain, and his power is weakest at dusk every day. At that time, it will be difficult for us to strike at the same time. With our combined cultivation, Randeng will be no match for us!"

The Golden-Winged Roc nodded and said, "Good! We will do as Brother Long says!" He looked at the sky and said, "Brother Long, we have been fighting for most of the day, and it is already past noon. By the time we get back to Qiyun Mountain, it will be sunset! This plan is perfect!"

Long Xiaoyi laughed heartily and said, "Good, but we don't need to rush. Three hundred miles is nothing to us!"

The two laughed again and then headed west side by side.

In front of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Yiqing and Luoge remained silent for a long time.

Yi Qing said bitterly, "I never thought that ugly bird was so vicious! I really regret not killing it back then!"

Luo Ge smiled calmly at this moment, a plan gradually forming in his mind. He said, "Qing'er, don't be angry. Neither of these two will have a good ending in a while!"

"Brother Ge... what if they really get the Universal Salvation Flame?" Yi Qing asked.

Luo Ge said confidently, "Don't worry, they won't get the Universal Salvation Flame! Only we can get the Universal Salvation Flame!"

"Strange!" Yi Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "Logically speaking, Buddha Tathagata treated that ugly bird quite well, so why did it still burn down the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas? Since that golden dragon is the mount of Buddha Dipankara, why did it turn around and retaliate against Dipankara?"

Luo Ge sighed slightly, shook his head, and thought to himself, "Although Yi Qing learns very quickly, she hasn't experienced much of the world, and she doesn't fully understand the wickedness of people's hearts!" He then said, "People's hearts are wicked. What you see isn't necessarily true, and what you hear isn't necessarily true either. There's a saying, 'You can't see into someone's heart!'"

"You can't see into someone's heart?" Yi Qing repeated the phrase, nodded, and seemed to understand something.

At this moment, Luo Ge glanced at the sky. Seeing that the Golden-Winged Roc and Long Xiaoyi had already gone far ahead, he laughed and said, "Qing'er, let's go too, otherwise we won't be able to keep up with those two!"

Chapter 327 Robbing the Lamp (Part 2)

"Okay!" Yi Qing nodded, and followed Luo Ge, taking flight westward.

...

Qiyun Mountain truly lived up to its reputation.

Some clouds were as clear as amber, some as lustrous as jade, some as soft as sugar, some as red as the sunset, some as black as ink, and some as smooth as brocade.

"Ah... what a beautiful sea of clouds!" Yi Qing exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Ge gestured for him to whisper, because in the far distance, he had already seen the Golden-Winged Roc and Long Xiaoyi land on a mountain peak.

That mountain peak lay horizontally, with a head and feet, a large belly and broad shoulders, just like an ancient Buddha reclining there.

A deep voice from Long Xiaoyi addressed the Golden-Winged Roc: "Brother Roc, the Buddha Dipankara is on this Reclining Buddha Ridge."

The Golden-Winged Roc glanced at the sky; it wasn't yet dusk. He nodded and said, "Brother Long, perhaps it's not appropriate for us to go and pay our respects to the Buddha Dipankara at this time?"

Long Xiaoyi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "The Buddha is currently in seclusion, practicing Buddhism. Even if we go to pay our respects now, he won't see us!"

The Golden-Winged Roc said, "Then we'll just have to wait here. The Buddha Dipankara will eventually see us!" He looked at the vast sea of clouds and exclaimed in admiration, "..." A strong wind rises, clouds fly high—this Qiyun Ridge truly lives up to its name! Abundant spiritual energy, surrounded by auspicious clouds, this place of cultivation chosen by the Buddha Dipankara is probably no less than the sacred Mount Ling of the Buddha Rinpoche.”

Long Xiaoyi smiled smugly, “Of course! Since arriving here, my cultivation speed has more than doubled compared to before. I truly feel the benefits of cultivating in a blessed land!” He thought for a moment and said, “However, Qiyun Ridge can't compare to Mount Ling after all. It's a place where all Buddhas pay homage. I imagine Brother Dapeng has also benefited greatly from cultivating on Mount Ling!”

"Alas! Don't mention it!" The Golden-Winged Roc sighed, "Given my appearance, I'm not allowed to cultivate on the front mountain of Mount Ling. I can only hide and cultivate on the back mountain, where the spiritual energy is thin and the environment is harsh. How can it compare to Brother Dragon's Qiyun Mountain?"

At this moment, Yi Qing finally couldn't stand it anymore and leaned close to Luo Ge's ear, saying, "Hmph, this ugly bird and this evil dragon are still pretending to flatter each other. I wonder who they're talking to?"

Luo Ge smiled and said, "Of course they're talking to Dipankara Buddha. Dipankara Buddha isn't stupid. If he heard that the Buddha Tathagata's uncle had come, he would definitely give him a... " "Come out and show your face."

Sure enough, a deep Buddhist chant rang out from the Reclining Buddha Ridge, followed by a hearty laugh: "So it is Senior Brother Jinpeng who has graced Qiyun Mountain with his presence. I, Randeng, have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"

After saying this, his voice suddenly turned deep and sternly scolded, "Venerable Jinlong, why do you only speak to your distinguished guest here at the foot of the mountain without informing me and inviting me into the mountain gate for tea? You are becoming more and more lazy!"

Clearly, Randeng was also a virtuous Buddha. The first sentence was a polite greeting, while the latter rebuked his subordinate, showing even greater respect for his guest.

The Golden-Winged Roc rolled its eyes, unable to see Dipankara Buddha anywhere, and could only call out loudly, "Dilkara Buddha, there's no need for such formality. Since the Buddha is unwilling to appear before me, I, the Roc, will have to leave!"

"Hehe..." Another laugh echoed from Reclining Buddha Ridge. "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, all phenomena are empty, the four elements are empty. Brother Roc, you are a true Buddha, how could you possibly concern yourself with such matters as Dipankara Buddha? It's not that Dipankara Buddha is rude, but I am in seclusion and cannot appear before you. Please forgive me, Brother Roc!"

"Amitabha... Since Dipankara Buddha has said so, how could I possibly hold it against him?" The Golden-Winged Roc chuckled. He glanced at the sky; it was already dusk. His eyes darted around, and he said, "Dilkara Buddha, I have come here with a request!"

"Hehe..." Dipankara Buddha laughed, "Brother Roc, you are too kind. Please, just tell me what you need!"

The Golden-Winged Roc laughed, "I have come to ask Dipankara Buddha for a bit of the Fire of Universal Salvation!"

"Oh?" Dipankara hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder what use Senior Brother Dapeng has for this Universal Salvation Fire?"

"Don't laugh at me, Dipankara Buddha!" Golden-Winged Dapeng laughed, "I recently set up an incense burner in front of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Because I'm lazy, I don't have time to take care of it every day, so I wanted to ask the Buddha for a little bit of the ever-burning Universal Salvation Fire to put in that burner!"

Dipankara was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not that Dipankara Buddha is stingy, it's just that the Universal Salvation Fire is neither dim nor extinguished, it's easy to ignite and then extinguished. So if Senior Brother Dapeng is willing, it's better not to make the fire for the incense burner. As for taking care of the incense burner, you can just leave it to the servants. Why do it yourself?"

Golden-Winged Dapeng snorted coldly and said angrily, "Well done, Dipankara! It's just a little bit of Universal Salvation Fire! You're making such a fuss. I knew you couldn't bear to

part with it!" Dipankara still chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Dapeng, you're full of murderous intent. You're no longer the Buddha's heart. I'm afraid that even if you come to ask me for the Universal Salvation Fire, you certainly won't do any good deeds!"

"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense!" the Golden-Winged Roc roared. "Today, you have to give me the Flame of Universal Salvation, whether you like it or not! Dipankara, come out now!"

"Amitabha..." A dharma chant rang out, and a golden light suddenly appeared from the Reclining Buddha Ridge, shooting directly towards the Golden-Winged Roc and Long Xiaoyi. The golden light landed and transformed into a person, a withered-faced, thin Buddha, none other than Dipankara Buddha. "I wonder where Dipankara has offended Senior Brother Golden-Winged Roc, that you would utter such words of force?"

"Hmph! Dipankara, you old codger, quickly hand over the Flame of Universal Salvation, and Grandpa Roc will pretend this never happened, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!" the Golden-Winged Roc said arrogantly.

Dipankara Buddha was on equal footing with Tathagata Buddha, and had never been reprimanded like this before. However, given the Golden-Winged Roc's special status, he did not immediately turn hostile. He chuckled and silently calculated with his fingers, already understanding the Golden-Winged Roc's true intention in seeking the Flame of Universal Salvation. "Golden Roc...you, a true Buddha, have actually harbored demonic thoughts, deluding yourself to burn Mount Ling with the Flame of Universal Salvation?"

the Golden-Winged Roc exclaimed in astonishment. He laughed wildly several times, then said viciously, "So what? Now, just tell me, will you give me the Flame of Universal Salvation or not?"

Dipankara Buddha, having already attained enlightenment, chanted a Buddhist prayer, "Golden Roc, the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Why are you doing this?"

"You old monk, how dare you still waste your breath on me! Quickly hand over the Flame of Universal Salvation!" the Golden-Winged Roc said impatiently.

Dipankara Buddha shook his head, saying, "Golden Roc, since you harbor such evil intentions, I will never give you the Flame of Universal Salvation!"

"You old bald donkey, I think you're tired of living!" the Golden-Winged Roc roared in fury. Suddenly, his entire body flashed with golden light, transforming into a Roc, and his enormous wings flapped towards Dipankara Buddha.

"Golden Roc, how dare you be so rude!" Long Xiaoyi, who had remained silent all along, roared, leaping into the air and transforming into a five-clawed golden dragon. He spewed a ball of flame, aiming to burn the wings of the Golden-Winged Roc.

The Buddha Dipankara proclaimed, "Golden Dragon Venerable, show no mercy! Subdue this demonically possessed Golden-Winged Roc first!"

His words had barely faded when Long Xiaoyun roared, his massive body swooping down towards Dipankara. At the same time, the Golden-Winged Roc's sharp claws were already very close to Dipankara.

"Buddha, don't intervene! Let me deal with this Golden-Winged Roc!" Long Xiaoyun cried, his five claws meeting the Golden-Winged Roc's attacks.

The Buddha Dipankara nodded, about to retreat, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. Turning around abruptly, he saw that the golden dragon's massive tail had somehow struck him.

Just as Long Xiaoyi had said, it was dusk, the time when his cultivation was at its weakest. Caught off guard, a surge of blood rushed to his throat, and his body was involuntarily propelled upwards by the force, like a kite with a broken string drifting into the air.

"Well done, Brother Long!" The Golden-Winged Roc cried out excitedly, its claws outstretched, reaching for Dipankara Buddha again.

At the same time, Long Xiaoyi turned his massive dragon head, spewing a burst of bright red light from his mouth, shooting directly at Dipankara.

"Amitabha! Golden Dragon Venerable… I never expected you to betray me!" Dipankara Buddha, after all, possessed an indestructible body. Although struck by this heavy blow, he was not rendered powerless. He shouted a Buddhist chant, calmly dodging the two attacks, and roared angrily.

"Hehe... Buddha Dipankara, don't blame me!" Long Xiaoyi said, "As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. I entered Buddhism for stronger cultivation. Now that all the Buddhas have descended to the mortal realm to reincarnate and cultivate anew, why don't you give the Flame of Universal Salvation to Brother Golden Roc, and give me your cultivation, then you can also reincarnate and cultivate anew!"

"You beast, don't even think about it!" Buddha Dipankara rebuked, "If I were to submit to you, wouldn't that be like becoming a prostitute to demons? How would my Buddha's face remain in the world?"

"What an old stubborn fool!" said the Golden-Winged Roc. "Since this old fellow refuses to obey, let's kill him first!"

"Alright!" Long Xiaoyi immediately agreed.

The Roc and the dragon unleashed their power, a fierce wind howled, flames surged, golden wings swung, golden tails swayed, and golden claws crisscrossed, displaying a power that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and earth and shattering the three realms.

Both the Roc and the dragon were ancient divine beasts, and having undergone tens of thousands of years of Buddhist cultivation, their beastly bodies were incredibly strong, their strength no less than that of Randeng. Moreover, they chose the moment when Randeng's cultivation was at its weakest, naturally benefiting greatly.

Randeng struggled to deal with the dragon and the Roc alone, and if he wasn't careful, he would be swept away by the residual force. Although his injuries were not serious, he was soon covered in wounds.

"Haha... Randeng, are you still not willing to hand over the Universal Salvation Tribulation Fire now?" the Golden-Winged Roc said viciously, spitting out another stream of black water.

The black water was the most yin of the evil waters of the Demon Mountain, specifically designed to destroy the protective golden bodies of Buddhists. Even a speck of it would greatly diminish the protective power of a Buddhist's golden body.

"Amitabha!" Dipankara Buddha cried out, retreating dozens of feet to avoid the evil water, saying, "The Tathagata and the Ten Thousand Buddhas have only just descended to the mortal realm, and you two wicked creatures already want to stir up trouble? With me, Dipankara, here, how can I allow you to wreak havoc on the Buddhist realm?"

As he spoke, he closed his eyes slightly, silently reciting the Buddhist Sutra of Subduing Demons. His entire body was enveloped in a hazy golden light, instantly transforming into seven Buddhas identical to himself, each wielding a Vajra pestle, a Vajra staff, a nine-precept knife, a halberd, and a demon-binding rope, roaring as they charged towards the Golden-Winged Roc and the Howling Golden Dragon.

This was an extremely powerful move, using his seven Buddha spirits to create the form of subduing demon arhats, each capable of unleashing their own attacks and using their own Buddhist teachings, just like seven ancient Dipankara Buddhas.

"Hehe..." The Golden-Winged Roc chuckled coldly, "Randeng, you're about to run out of energy, even resorting to this clone of your Buddha spirit! This time, I think you'll have to give up even the thought of reincarnation!"

Long Xiaoyi retorted hatefully, "Randeng, you're willing to sacrifice your Buddha essence rather than give me your cultivation! What a cruel heart!"

The bird and dragon cursed each other, instantly transforming into a whirlwind, unleashing their killing moves to resist the attacks of the seven Buddhas.

It turned out that Dipankara Buddha, seeing the ferocity of the Golden-Winged Roc and Long Xiaoyi, and realizing his cultivation was at its weakest, knew he couldn't escape this calamity. So, he steeled himself, determined to fight the two villains to the death, both sides suffering heavy losses.

Chapter 328 Robbing Dipankara (Part 2)

However, his actions enraged the Golden-Winged Roc and Long Xiaoyi, who each hardened their hearts, unleashing their killing moves, vowing to annihilate Dipankara Buddha's Buddha spirit, ensuring he could never be reborn.

Seven golden Buddha spirits, each five zhang tall, fought in mid-air alongside a golden-winged roc and a five-clawed golden dragon. Intense Buddhist power and various other forces erupted, shattering countless rocks and leaving the entire Reclining Buddha Ridge unrecognizable.

After several dozen rounds, three of the seven golden Buddha spirits of Dipankara Buddha had been struck by the demonic poison sprayed from the golden-winged roc, then torn apart by its claws, and finally swirled away by the hurricane generated by its massive wings. The other two had been refined by the raging fire spewed by the dragon's roar, then swept away by its giant tail and smashed into dust on Reclining Buddha Ridge.

However, one of the golden-winged roc's wings had been cleaved by the golden Buddha spirits' halberd and nine-precept knife, cutting off countless golden feathers. Combined with the feathers previously plucked by Yi Qing, it now resembled a truly comical vulture.

Long Xiaoyun's situation wasn't much better. Three of his five claws were broken, and many of his golden scales had been peeled off. He was covered in blood and looked almost like a giant, bald dragon-like mudfish.

The Buddha Dipankara, having lost five-sevenths of his spiritual essence, was severely weakened. He silently chanted the Subduing Demon Mantra, and his golden body shone brightly, showing a determination to fight the roc and the dragon to the death.

"Hmph! Buddha Dipankara… if you hand over the Universal Salvation Flame now, I might give you a chance to reincarnate and cultivate again!" the Golden-Winged Roc sneered.

Long Xiaoyi chuckled, "That's right, as long as you pass on your remaining Buddhist power to me, I might consider sparing your Buddha spirit!"

"Amitabha..." The two golden Buddha spirits of Dipankara Buddha simultaneously chanted the Buddha's name, their eyes wide with fury as they roared, "You two beasts, even if I perish at your hands today, I will not indulge your evil desires!" The

Golden-Winged Roc sneered, "Hmph! You really won't listen to reason... Dipankara, don't blame me for being impolite!" With that, his left wing whipped up a hurricane that swept towards Dipankara.

"Buddha... I will call you Buddha one last time, and wish that after your Buddha spirit is destroyed, you will never think of me again! Hahaha..." At this moment, Long Xiaoyi also chuckled sinisterly, his dragon body rising and spiraling upwards, spewing out a burst of red flames.

Meanwhile, Yi Qing and Luo Ge had unknowingly approached the foot of Qiyun Mountain.

“Brother Ge, these ugly bird and little snake are shameless!” Yi Qing frowned, finally unable to hold back, “Let’s teach them a lesson!”

Luo Ge saw that the Buddha of the Burning Lamp was truly at his limit, and the Golden-Winged Roc and Long Xiaoyi were also clearly exhausted, their bodies covered in wounds, a situation of mutual destruction. He secretly laughed to himself, “This is my chance to take advantage!”

He had been waiting for this moment before he made his move. He nodded and said to Yi Qing, “Alright! We’ll each take one, which one do you choose?”

Yi Qing glanced at Luo Ge, then at the Roc and the dragon who were currently acting fiercely, and smiled, “I still choose the ugly bird. This time I’m going to pluck all its feathers! As for the little snake, Brother Ge, you can have it!”

Luo Ge chuckled, but his eyes revealed a strong killing intent, “Not only will I pluck all its feathers, but I’ll also play with it until it’s a dead bird!”

“Of course, I’ll turn it into a dead snake too!” He glanced at Long Xiaoyi again.

Yi Qing nodded and laughed, "That's easy! I'll just use my true fire to roast this bird and eat it!" With that, he somersaulted, tracing a beautiful arc in mid-air, and landed in front of the Golden-Winged Roc.

The Golden-Winged Roc had just unleashed a hurricane aimed at the golden Buddha spirit with the burning lamp, but unexpectedly, the swirling hurricane suddenly reversed course halfway through. Startled, the Roc knew something was wrong and was about to retreat when countless golden blades suddenly flashed out from within the hurricane.

"Ah..." he screamed, cold sweat pouring down his body. These golden blades were clearly from the woman he had encountered on Mount Ling. When he tried to escape, it was too late. Countless golden blades slashed viciously at his body, his golden wings feathers falling piece by piece, scattered and then swept away by the hurricane.

The poor Golden-Winged Roc, ruthless for tens of thousands of years, ultimately could not escape his tragic end. In Buddhist terms, it would be like saying, "Good deeds bring good rewards, and evil deeds bring evil consequences; it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet."

Meanwhile, Luo Ge unleashed his divine power, a whirlwind of energy surging towards Long Xiaoyi like a giant wave.

"You are…" Upon contact with the divine power, Long Xiaoyi's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in astonishment. A certain power mixed within that divine power was so familiar, so familiar that it terrified him.

"Hmph!" Luo Ge sneered, "You traitor of the Dragon Immortal Clan, don't you recognize me?"

Long Xiaoyi cried out, "Third Prince Long!" Panicked, he abandoned the fight and turned to flee. He was the twin brother of Long Xiaotian, the Dragon Immortal Protector. Back then, he had been a troublemaker in the Dragon Immortal Clan, and Long Yixiao had once reprimanded him. Now, seeing the divine power Luo Ge unleashed, he recognized it as the unique Dragon Immortal True Power of the former Third Prince Long Yixiao. He knew without further ado that defeating him would not end well.

Seeing Long Xiaoyi's giant dragon ascend into the sky, about to escape to the heavens, Luo Ge sneered: "Long Xiaoyi, do you think you can escape?"

In a flash, Luo Ge thrust his palms forward, sending two beams of divine power, one black and one white, shooting towards the sky in a crisscrossing motion, chasing after Long Xiaoyi. Suddenly, the two beams of divine power intersected and exploded, instantly transforming into thousands of giant Pangu axes, engulfing Long Xiaoyi in the axe light.

Long Xiaoyi raised his head and let out a deafening scream. When the axe light disappeared, a rain of blood and flesh fell from the sky; his body had been pulverized by Luo Ge's unparalleled divine power.

Luo Ge emitted a golden light, shielding himself from the blood rain, and coldly gazed at the sky, saying, "Long Xiaoyi, the traitor of the Dragon Immortal Clan, has been killed by the Third Prince of the Dragon Clan, Long Yixiao. All the spirits of the Dragon Immortals can rest in peace!"

"Amitabha... Well done, well done!" At this moment, the two golden bodies of Dipankara Buddha merged, standing in the air, his expression withered, his palms clasped together, uttering an extremely deep Buddhist chant.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with golden light as he looked at Luo Ge. "This benefactor, though you possess a demonic body, you still uphold righteousness. Truly admirable... If I am not mistaken, you are the so-called Demon Saint Envoy Luo Ge of the Heavenly Realm!"

Luo Ge smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, greetings from Dipankara Buddha!"

"Amitabha!" Dipankara Buddha chanted the Buddha's name and then said, "If it weren't for the help of these two benefactors today, I fear I would have truly been annihilated! I thank you greatly!" "

Dipankara Buddha, you are too kind. We were merely passing by when we saw that ugly bird and strange dragon acting so fiercely, so we took the liberty of teaching them a lesson!" Yi Qing chuckled.

Luo Ge smiled slightly, but thought to himself, "Yi Qing, she's said all sorts of ugly birds and strange dragons without fear of being laughed at! But, this Buddha Dipankara's politeness, I wonder if he ever thought that we're actually here to rob him too!"

Buddha Dipankara chuckled and said, "This female benefactor has a very straightforward personality!"

Yi Qing blushed at Dipankara's praise, flew forward, took Luo Ge's arm, and said, "Brother Ge, now that everything's alright, shouldn't we go back?"

"Go back?" Luo Ge frowned, thinking to himself, "This Qing is truly a beautiful but confused little goddess. We haven't even finished our business yet, how can we go back?"

Before Luo Ge could speak, the Buddha Dipankara laughed and said, "The two benefactors have saved my life, how can you leave like this? Please come to this humble monk's place for a cup of Buddhist water, so that I may express my gratitude!"

Luo Ge chuckled and said, "There's no need for Buddhist water, but I can borrow some fire!"

The Buddha Dipankara was taken aback, then grinned and said, "Benefactor, you must be joking!"

Luo Ge coldly laughed and said, "Of course I'm not joking. Luo Ge came to Qiyun Mountain to borrow the Universal Salvation Fire from the Buddha Dipankara!"

The Buddha Dipankara pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder what you intend to use this Universal Salvation Fire for?"

"To light the Supreme Lord Laozi's alchemy furnace!" Luo Ge said.

Dipankara Buddha raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that you wish to refine pills? Then this Universal Salvation Fire is not for refining pills! You should seek the Samadhi True Fire from Laozi!"

Luo Ge laughed heartily. "I only wish to use your Universal Salvation Fire to light the alchemy furnace, but I did not say I wanted to refine pills!"

Dipankara Buddha frowned. "Then what will you refine?"

"Refine people!" Luo Ge uttered two words softly.

Dipankara Buddha smiled again, "You jest again, benefactor!"

Luo Ge coldly said, "I'm not joking. Dipankara Buddha, will you lend it or not?"

Dipankara Buddha frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Although Laozi is a Taoist, Buddhism and Taoism share the same origin and have commonalities. That alchemy furnace is also called the Divine Fire Furnace, which can refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and transform all things in the world. It is not impossible to refine a person, but that person must be an extraordinary person who can seize the creation of the world! I wonder who you wish to refine?"

Luo Ge smiled and said, "Dipankara Buddha is indeed very knowledgeable. What I want to refine is not a real person, but the original body of a demon!"

Dipankara Buddha's expression changed, and he stared at Luo Ge for a long time before saying, "Could it be that you, benefactor Luo Ge, want to refine your demonic body?"

Luo Ge nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's exactly what I intend!"

“Amitabha! Excellent, excellent!” said Dipankara Buddha. “This is indeed a good deed for you, benefactor, and I will gladly offer you the Flame of Universal Salvation. However, Benefactor Luo Ge must agree to one condition!”

“What condition?” Luo Ge asked, raising an eyebrow, but secretly he thought, “Dipankara Buddha agreed to give me the Flame of Universal Salvation so readily, there must be another problem waiting for me. How easy is it to obtain the Flame of Universal Salvation?” At that moment, he was prepared to snatch it by force.

Dipankara Buddha solemnly said, "Benefactor Luo Ge, refining the demonic body is a good deed, but this good deed will be followed by a great calamity, because the demonic body within you is not an ordinary demon, but a demon capable of slaying heaven. If it is born, it will surely bring a catastrophe to the Three Realms." "

This Dipankara Buddha's analysis is quite thorough. Since Luo Ge is Satan, he is naturally the most evil demon in the Three Realms. Calling him a demon capable of slaying heaven is not unreasonable!" Luo Ge thought to himself, nodding and saying, "So what?" "

Amitabha... Benefactor!" Dipankara Buddha said, "The demonic calamity has descended upon the world, bringing disaster to the Three Realms. Such a great calamity is something I, Dipankara Buddha, cannot bear!"

"Damn it! To put it bluntly, he still doesn't want to give me the Universal Salvation Fire!" Luo Ge thought to himself with resentment, then smiled coldly, "Does Dipankara Buddha mean that he is unwilling to lend the Universal Salvation Fire?"

Dipankara Buddha chuckled and said, "As long as Benefactor Luo Ge can personally promise to resolve this demonic calamity with his own power and grant the Universal Salvation Fire, Dipankara Buddha will respectfully offer it to you!"

"So it's just a promise!" Luo Ge chuckled inwardly. "What's so difficult about that? It's just a vow, easy enough!" He immediately replied, "Very well! I, Luo Ge, promise Buddha Dipankara that no matter how perilous this demonic calamity may be, I

will do my utmost to turn the tide and prevent it from wreaking havoc on the Three Realms!" Dipankara nodded and said, "You are indeed the one destined for this calamity in the Three Realms! It seems I, Dipankara, can now peacefully reincarnate and begin my cultivation anew!" As he spoke, he clasped his hands together, forming a vase mudra, and murmured Buddhist mantras. Before long, a bright red flame appeared from the vase mudra.

"Is this the Fire of Universal Salvation?" Luo Ge asked with a smile, seeing nothing particularly special about the flame.

Dipankara Buddha nodded. "This is the Fire of Universal Salvation. A single spark can ignite all things in the Three Realms. Please, benefactor, release your divine power to protect the flame!"

Luo Ge immediately stopped smiling, releasing a burst of divine power to protect and tuck away the flame of the Fire of Universal Salvation. Only then did he say, "Thank you, Buddha Dipankara!"

Buddha Dipankara Buddha nodded and said in a deep voice, "Benefactor, please remember your promise, otherwise the Three Realms will be doomed!"

"Don't worry, Buddha Dipankara, I will!" Luo Ge said with a smile.

Buddha Dipankara Buddha smiled, his body emitting a faint golden light. He then said to Luo Ge and Yi Qing, "Take care, benefactors. This humble monk has finished his business in the Buddhist realm and is going to the mortal world to reincarnate and cultivate anew!"

Before Luo Ge and Yi Qing could speak, the golden light that had been emanating from his body suddenly converged, transforming into a dazzling golden beam that shot directly down to the mortal realm.

Chapter 329 Satan's Rebirth (Part 1)

The servant of Dipankara Buddha has been reincarnated. Luo Ge, holding the Universal

Salvation Flame, smiled at Yi Qing and said, "Let's go back to the Heavenly Realm!" In the Tushita Palace, Luo Ge gently flicked the Universal Salvation Flame into the Divine Fire Furnace. A burst of red light flashed, and the Universal Salvation Flame blazed fiercely within the furnace.

Luo Ge channeled a little divine power into the furnace, and the Universal Salvation Flame burned even more intensely.

"Brother Ge, are you really going to refine that demon?" Yi Qing asked.

Luo Ge smiled and said, "Yes, I must refine that demon!" He turned around and saw that the demon kings with Luo Ge's avatars had already arrived at the Tushita Palace.

"Alright! Let's begin!" Luo Ge thought to himself, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

Roger raised his left hand, and a surge of divine power shot out, tightly closing the gates of the Tushita Palace.

Seeing Roger's sinister smile, the demon kings trembled. At this moment, the flames beneath the divine furnace burned even brighter.

"Please, everyone!" Roger gestured for them to enter.

The demon kings were stunned, not understanding Roger's meaning.

"Since you have submitted to Demon King Roger, you must dedicate yourselves to him," Roger said coldly. "Now, Demon King Roger is about to refine his original form; he needs your bodies!"

"What?" one demon king cried out in alarm, "Roger, are you going to kill us?"

Roger smiled coldly, "Not kill you, but transform you into Demon King Roger!"

"Roger, what exactly do you mean?" another demon king roared.

"Haha... What do you mean?" A fierce killing intent suddenly flashed in Roger's eyes. "You must sacrifice for the Demon King Roger, understand? This is the best action you can take to sacrifice for him!"

As Roger spoke, an extremely powerful divine and demonic force was released, engulfing the demon king who had just asked the question. Before the demon king could even cry out, his body was already lifted high and thrown into the divine fire furnace.

The Universal Salvation Flame flickered, then burned even brighter.

"Roger, you can't do this!" the demon kings all shouted.

Roger's eyes flashed with killing intent as he swept his gaze over the demons, who immediately fell silent. "Can't do this? Hahaha..."

He laughed wildly, and the divine and demonic force suddenly surged wildly. Dozens of demon kings didn't even have time to fight back before they were all thrown into the divine fire furnace.

"Roger... You did very well... very well!" Roger's laughter came from mid-air.

Roger smiled and said, "Rogers, I've done as you instructed!"

Rogers laughed heartily, "Rogers, alright... you're Ge Xiaoyao again! You've fulfilled your promise to me, our contract is dissolved! Hahaha..."

Roger suddenly felt a void in his body, as if a tremendous force was breaking free from him. He had no choice but to close his eyes and sit down on the ground.

"Brother Ge... what's wrong? Do you need my help?" Yi Qing asked anxiously, seeing Roger's strange appearance.

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head, "No need... Qing'er, guard the palace gate, don't let anyone in!"

For some reason, he suddenly heard another commotion outside, shouts, and the sounds of divine power and true energy exploding.

Yi Qing was startled upon hearing this, glanced outside the palace, and clearly had also heard the noise. She nodded and said, "Okay! Brother Ge, don't worry, I'm here!" With that, she waved her jade hand, and golden divine power shot out, instantly sealing the palace gate tightly, preventing even a sound from entering.

Roger's body suddenly relaxed, the demonic power escaping from his body. He opened his eyes abruptly, seeing a sliver of black light flash before disappearing into the divine furnace.

"Rogers, you're finally gone!" Roger thought to himself, stretching his body and standing up. He felt a slight emptiness within him, but it was instantly filled by a golden divine power. He let out a long sigh, thinking, "Rogers, Rogers... I'm finally back in Ge Xiaoyao!"

"Brother Ge! The fighting outside is fierce!" Yi Qing said as she saw Ge Xiaoyao stand up.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, looking at Yi Qing with deep affection in his eyes. "Qing'er, it's alright, everything will be alright!"

Yi Qing was slightly taken aback, looking at Ge Xiaoyao with surprise. She felt that Ge Xiaoyao seemed somewhat different from before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. However, the cold killing intent in Ge Xiaoyao's eyes was gone, making her feel more comfortable. She nodded, then glanced worriedly outside the hall.

The golden light of the divine power she sealed on the palace gate flickered intermittently, clearly indicating an attack from outside using divine power. However, those attackers were not as powerful as Yi Qing, and although their attacks were frequent, breaking through would be difficult.

At this moment, the flames of the Universal Salvation Fire in the divine furnace gradually dimmed, flickered twice, and finally went out. A beam of black light shot out from the furnace and landed on the ground, transforming into a tall man dressed entirely in black robes.

The man's face was covered by the black robes, obscuring his features, but his eyes gleamed with a strange blue light.

"Ge Xiaoyao... thank you, thank you!" the man laughed heartily, addressing Ge Xiaoyao.

Ge Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, for from the moment the black-robed man's black light flashed, his divine power had subtly fluctuated, seemingly greatly disturbed. He understood that he still could not resist the demonic power before him.

"Rogers, I have fulfilled all your requests!" Although inwardly trembled, Ge Xiaoyao still smiled and said, "Now, you must fulfill your promise!"

Rogers laughed loudly, not answering Ge Xiaoyao's question, but his pair of demonic eyes, flashing with a ghostly blue light, looked at Yi Qing. "If I am not mistaken, she is Yi Qing, the disciple of the ancient Eastern god Zulong!"

Yi Qing also saw Rogers at this moment, and was shocked. She blurted out, "Satan? How could it be you?!" Her gaze then turned to Ge Xiaoyao, a puzzled expression on her face.

Rogers laughed again and nodded, "That's right! It is I, Satan... Is your master Zulong still alive?"

A trace of awkwardness appeared on Yi Qing's face. She really didn't know where her master was now. However, she immediately said, "Satan, you were killed by my master back then, how did you come back to life?"

Satan laughed loudly, looked at Ge Xiaoyao, and said, "This is all thanks to your brother Ge..."

Ge Xiaoyao didn't know that Yi Qing actually knew this demon Satan, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Rogers, I don't care what grudges you and Qing'er had back then, but you must keep your promise!"

A blue light flashed in Satan's demonic eyes, and he laughed, "What promise?"

Yi Qing frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ge, this Satan is a bad guy, how can you believe him?"

Satan laughed and said, "Bad guy? Yi Qing, you know me best... I am indeed a bad guy, in the entire ancient heavenly realm, and in the current three realms, I am the biggest bad guy!"

Ge Xiaoyao's heart sank, and he said, "Rogers, you said you wouldn't harm the female demon realm or the human world, have you forgotten?"

"Hahaha..." Satan's eyes flashed with demonic light as he said, "Ge Xiaoyao, Rogers did say he wouldn't harm the Demon Realm or the Human Realm, but I am now Satan... a wicked villain, a demon!"

"Brother Ge, don't believe him!" Yi Qing took a few steps closer to Ge Xiaoyao and said, "Back then, he wreaked havoc everywhere in the Ancient Heavenly Realm, which is why my master, Ancestral Dragon, killed him!"

Ge Xiaoyao frowned. In fact, he had long anticipated this ending, but now that it was confirmed, he still couldn't quite believe it.

"Ancestral Dragon!" Satan said hatefully, "If it weren't for Ancestral Dragon back then, I, Satan, would have become the master of these three realms long ago! How could I have fallen to the point of transforming into Rogers and searching for a host everywhere!"

"Satan, back then, it was your evil intentions that led you to try to improve your cultivation with the spirits of other true gods, making everyone in the Ancient Heavenly Realm feel insecure. My master, Ancestral Dragon, had no choice but to kill you!" Yi Qing said.

"Hmph!" Satan sneered, "Yi Qing, no matter what, I, Satan, will avenge this grudge. Since your master is not here, I'll start with you, my disciple!"

A surge of pure black demonic power erupted from the black robe, instantly shattering all the ornaments in the Tushita Palace. Even the divine fire furnace in the center tilted, nearly tipping over.

It should be noted that the Tushita Palace is not like an ordinary mortal palace; its ornaments are all fixed with magical power and cannot be destroyed at will.

Yi Qing's face showed shock. She pushed forward with both palms, gathering all her divine power to unleash a golden light.

"Rogers, how dare you harm Qing'er!" Seeing Satan's sudden attack, Ge Xiaoyao roared angrily, his figure instantly appearing beside Yi Qing. His entire body flashed with golden light, a vortex of ancient divine power, dragon immortal true power, and Buddha's power swirling into a pillar of wind, also meeting the black light demonic power. With

a deafening roar, the three's demonic power, divine power, and golden light collided, sending rubble flying in the Tushita Palace. A large crater was forcefully created between Satan, Ge Xiaoyao, and Yi Qing.

The divine furnace clanged and clattered, falling into the crater and overturning, riddled with holes and broken beyond recognition by the divine and demonic power.

Ge Xiaoyao and Yi Qing each staggered back several steps. Ge Xiaoyao felt his blood churning, his whole body aching, as if his skin was about to be torn apart.

Yi Qing's face instantly turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Satan swayed, clearly surprised that his original form's powerful strike hadn't shattered the two. However, seeing Ge Xiaoyao and Yi Qing's condition, he laughed loudly, "Well done, Yi Qing and Ge Xiaoyao! It seems you are my first formidable enemies since my re-emergence in the Three Realms!"

Ge Xiaoyao suppressed his surging blood and sneered, "It seems the Buddha Dipankara was right. Your re-emergence will indeed be a catastrophe for the Three Realms!"

"Hahaha..." Satan laughed loudly, "Now that the Heavenly Realm and the Buddhist Realm are destroyed, only the Human Realm remains. As long as the Human Realm submits to me, how can it be a catastrophe?"

"Hmph, with me and Brother Ge here, we won't let you, you villain, succeed!" Yi Qing, having recovered slightly, shouted sweetly.

"You?" Satan coldly looked at Ge Xiaoyao and Yi Qing, shaking his head slightly. "You are no match for me!"

Ge Xiaoyao coldly looked at Satan, understanding that once this demon entered the human realm, it would inevitably lead to a massive massacre, even annihilation. "Ge Xiaoyao, even if you are shattered to pieces, you must destroy this Satan and prevent this demonic calamity from spreading! Dipankara Buddha, I, Ge Xiaoyao, will fulfill my promise and stop this demonic calamity!" He thought to himself, gritting his teeth and uttering two words—"Maybe not!"

"You?" Satan smiled eerily, looking at Ge Xiaoyao.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, taking a deep breath. He had already made up his mind to fight to the death. With the Jade Emperor and other gods descending to the mortal realm, and the Buddha and other reincarnations of countless Buddhas, it seemed that only he could withstand this demonic Satan.

"Boom..."

The gates of the Tushita Palace were smashed open, and a team of golden-armored divine soldiers rushed in, followed by more than a dozen burly men dressed in white.

Chapter 330 Satan's Rebirth (Part 2)

The divine power sealing the gate of the Yiqing Palace was greatly weakened due to her injury, allowing those outside to break through the seal and rush in.

"Ge Xiaoyao!"

"Brother Ge!"

"Third Prince!"

A cacophony of shouts erupted, all expressing surprise at the unfamiliar sight. Then came a gasp of alarm; they had naturally seen Yiqing beside Ge Xiaoyao, and the demon Satan on the other side of the crater.

Ge Xiaoyao frowned, disregarding everything else, and coldly said, "Haina, Duomei, General Jin, and all the Dragon Immortal seniors, retreat immediately… retreat back to the mortal realm to prevent the demon from causing trouble!"

The crowd was bewildered; why had Ge Xiaoyao ordered them to retreat to the mortal realm so soon after their meeting? They were all speechless, wondering what had happened.

"Don't ask any more questions! Listen to me, go!" Ge Xiaoyao's roar interrupted Haina and the others who were about to speak.

"Duomei, Haina, quickly take them away!" Ge Xiaoyao added.

At this moment, Satan laughed wildly and sneered, "Since you're here, no one's leaving!"

"Who are you? How dare you speak such arrogant words!" a dragon immortal roared.

Satan smiled sinisterly, "Who am I? You'll never know!" Just as he finished speaking, the dragon immortal who had spoken suddenly screamed in agony, his entire body exploding into a shower of blood.

Everyone was shocked and glared at Satan, but no one spoke again. It all happened so suddenly; they hadn't even seen how Satan attacked. This indicated that the demon before them was extremely powerful, far beyond their imagination.

Ge Xiaoyao shouted again, "Run! What are you waiting for!"

Haina and Tianxin exchanged a glance and whispered, "Go!"

Just as everyone turned to leave the Doushuai Palace, a tremendous explosion of power was heard. Satan's demonic energy was intercepted by Ge Xiaoyao, and the two had already begun fighting.

Satan laughed wildly, clearly not taking Ge Xiaoyao's resistance seriously at all. Moreover, Ge Xiaoyao had gathered all his divine power to barely withstand his two demonic attacks, covering Haina, Duomei, and the others as they retreated from the Doushuai Palace.

Yi Qing's expression changed instantly. She waved her hands, and a dazzling golden sphere gradually condensed in front of her chest. The golden sphere grew brighter and brighter, about to explode. Her already pale face instantly became even paler.

"Brother Ge... I'll help you!" she cried out, about to push the golden divine power out.

"No..." Ge Xiaoyao knew this was Yi Qing's last bit of divine power and quickly stopped her, then said, "Qing'er, I will self-destruct my primordial spirit in a moment. You must collect a trace of my remaining spiritual spirit, then go find Haina who just went out, and then go find the Goddess Nuwa! She will help me revive!"

"No! Brother Ge!" Yi Qing gritted her teeth. She naturally knew what self-destructing one's primordial spirit meant; it was tantamount to suicide, and the method of resurrection might not even succeed. Thinking of this, her eyes reddened, and tears were about to fall.

Ge Xiaoyao took a deep breath and said urgently, "Listen to me! You must concentrate in a moment!"

"Let me do it!" Yi Qing said sadly. She would rather destroy her own primordial spirit than watch Ge Xiaoyao disappear beside her.

Ge Xiaoyao looked at Yi Qing, smiled slightly, and shook his head, saying, "Even if you self-destruct your primordial spirit, it won't do any harm to this demon! Let me do it!"

Satan laughed and said, "Ge Xiaoyao, Yi Qing, what are you still whispering about? No matter how much you scheme today, you probably can't escape death!"

A resolute glint flashed in Ge Xiaoyao's eyes, and he whispered to Yi Qing, "Qing'er... get ready!"

Yi Qing was, after all, an ancient true god. At this critical moment, she put aside her personal feelings, gritted her teeth, and nodded, secretly praying that Ge Xiaoyao could really be resurrected.

Ge Xiaoyao laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with killing intent. Golden light burst from his body as he said to Satan, "Rogers, the outcome is still uncertain!" With that, a golden beam shot out, instantly transforming into a giant, gleaming Pangu axe, which slashed fiercely at Satan. Satan's body followed closely behind, leaping up and shooting like a meteor enveloped in the golden light.

Seeing the giant axe coming, Satan laughed loudly, disdainfully saying, "Ge Xiaoyao, if you want to kill me, this power isn't enough!" He clasped his hands together, his demonic power surging forth, and a thick black light instantly enveloped the Pangu axe.

A deafening roar followed as Ge Xiaoyao's divine axe clashed with the demonic energy, both vanishing into nothingness. Satan, having easily neutralized Ge Xiaoyao's seemingly all-out attack, was feeling smug when suddenly his vision blurred, and his body tensed violently.

"Ge Xiaoyao, you..." Satan's face suddenly changed color. He never expected Ge Xiaoyao to pounce on him so soon after the golden light. It was too late to unleash his magic to defend himself; in the blink of an eye, Ge Xiaoyao held him tightly.

"Rogers... I, Ge Xiaoyao, can give you rebirth, and I can make you die again!" Ge Xiaoyao roared, his entire body bursting with golden light.

A loud thud rang out, and tears instantly streamed down Yi Qing's face. She raised her jade wrist, and a light golden light spread out, enveloping a wisp of ethereal golden light, which she then gathered into her palm.

"Brother Ge...you must hold on!" she murmured, gritting her teeth. Without even glancing at the site of the explosion, she turned and flew swiftly out of the palace gates.

Inside the palace, the dust and smoke from the massive explosion dissipated, leaving only a bloodied severed arm floating in mid-air. A faint yet extremely hateful voice drifted out: "Ge Xiaoyao...you really are ruthless!" The voice then laughed, "However, even if you self-destructed your primordial spirit, you didn't completely destroy me, Satan. With just this bloody arm, I, Satan, can still be resurrected! Hahaha..."

Yi Qing ran with tears streaming down her face, murmuring Haina's name. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten her sorrow and tears. A wisp of Ge Xiaoyao's spirit was in her hand. She had to find Haina immediately, then find Nuwa, and revive her Brother Ge!

She flew past several celestial mountains in the blink of an eye, but suddenly awoke, a chill running through her. "Who is Haina?"

Only then did she realize she had no idea who Haina was, and those who had rushed into the Tushita Palace and then immediately retreated were nowhere to be found. Where was she supposed to look?

Yiqing stood there, stunned, staring at the drifting white clouds before her, as if she had fallen into an icy abyss. After a long while, her body went limp, and she slowly knelt down, gazing at the still faintly shimmering golden light in her hands, a single icy tear sliding down her cheek. "Brother Ge..." she let out a heart-wrenching sob.

A snow-white jade hand gently touched her fragrant shoulder, and a very soft voice said, "Little sister, are you looking for me?"

Yiqing trembled, her heart suddenly jolted, and she turned her head to see a flawlessly beautiful face.

She recognized this face; it was from the Tushita Palace just moments before.

"Haina!" she exclaimed with sudden joy, quickly standing up. She anxiously wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

She thought bitterly, "Damn Brother Ge, why didn't you explain clearly why I was looking for Haina?"

The person who arrived was Princess Haina, followed by Duomei, the Golden Light General, Dragon Immortals, and others. It turned out that after Princess Haina and the Golden Light General stabilized the situation in the Demon Realm, they came to the Heavenly Realm to find Ge Xiaoyao. They happened to encounter Duomei and many Dragon Immortals who had ascended from the lower realm. The two groups merged and fought against the Devouring Wolves and other demons of the Heavenly Realm.

Just as Ge Xiaoyao and Yiqing were preparing to go to the Buddhist Realm to find the Universal Salvation Tribulation Fire, they were about to break into the Tushita Palace, but the demons were too powerful at that time, so they retreated. This time, they came again, defeated the Devouring Wolves and other demons in one fell swoop, and rushed into the Tushita Palace, where they saw Ge Xiaoyao.

They withdrew from the Tushita Palace, but did not go far. They saw Yiqing, who was with Ge Xiaoyao, running out like a madman, muttering "Haina." They were secretly alarmed and quietly followed.

Unexpectedly, Yiqing suddenly stopped, burying her face in her hands and weeping in self-reproach. Encouraged by Duomei and the others, Haina finally patted Yiqing on the shoulder.

Just as Yiqing was pondering how to tell Haina, Haina and Duomei spoke simultaneously: "How is Brother Ge?"

Yiqing froze, her eyes reddening, tears streaming down her snow-white skin.

She choked out, "Brother Ge… he self-destructed his primordial spirit, perishing together with the demon Satan!"

"What?" Everyone exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with profound sorrow. Duomei and Haina, in particular, felt as if struck by lightning; the world spun around them, and they nearly collapsed.

"Brother Ge…" After a long, stunned silence, Duomei finally managed to utter a sorrowful cry. Among the women, aside from Chu Yu and Ling Lei Yanqiang, whom they had never met, she was the one who had known Ge Xiaoyao the longest and had the deepest feelings for him. Moreover, the time she spent with him was actually the shortest. This time, all the women were going to the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm to search for Ge Xiaoyao. Only she possessed the highest magical power, and with the protection of many dragon immortals, she activated the Cangmang Mountain Ascension Lotus to reach the Heavenly Realm.

Unexpectedly, she first encountered Princess Haina, and after several bloody battles with the Demon Alliance, she finally saw Ge Xiaoyao, only to find it was their final farewell. How could she not be heartbroken?

Princess Haina was also devastated. Ge Xiaoyao had disappeared in the Demon Realm to save them, undoubtedly suffering greatly. Now, his primordial spirit had exploded, and they would never see each other again.

Thinking of her primordial spirit exploding, Princess Haina suddenly remembered something. She took out the witch's pendant from her bosom and nervously asked Yiqing, "Qing'er, did Brother Ge tell you anything before he left?"

Yiqing hurriedly nodded and said, "Brother Ge told me to find Sister Haina, and then go to the Goddess Nuwa, saying that he could be resurrected!"

Princess Haina was overjoyed and asked again, "Yiqing, did you capture a wisp of Brother Ge's spirit?"

Yiqing nodded, opened her tightly clenched hands, and a burst of golden light flashed in her snow-white palms, which was indeed a wisp of Ge Xiaoyao's spirit.

Haina immediately burst into laughter, "Don't worry, everyone! Brother Ge won't die!"

Her words startled everyone. Duomei asked anxiously, "Why, Princess Haina?"

Haina smiled, holding the witch's pendant in her palm, and said to everyone, "This witch's pendant was returned to me by Brother Ge when he was in the Demon Realm. I thought it was a sign of heartlessness, and I cried a lot back then!" As she spoke, a blush appeared on her face.

Duomei nodded. In fact, back in Cangmang Mountain, she had noticed an ambiguous affection between Ge Xiaoyao and Haina, but Haina was a princess of the Demon Realm, and according to the rules of the Demon Realm, women of the Demon Realm could only live with men from the outside world for one year. She had worried about their relationship at the time.

At this moment, Haina continued, "But later, Brother Ge's shadow suddenly appeared in this witch's pendant, and I seemed to be able to hear him speaking!"

"What did he say?" Duomei nodded and asked hurriedly. If what Princess Haina said is true, this is very likely the method of spirit possession in the Kunlun Immortal Arts. Ge Xiaoyao has cultivated supreme profound skills and should also know how to use it.

Princess Haina thought for a moment and said, "He said that he attached his secondary spirit to this witch's pendant. No matter what happens in the future, as long as there is a trace of his main spirit guiding him, the goddess Nuwa can reshape his physical body and revive him."

Yi Qing suddenly realized why Ge Xiaoyao had asked him to collect a trace of his own spirit, find Haina first and then Nuwa. So that's the reason. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sister Haina, Sister Duomei, let's not delay. Let's quickly use this main primordial spirit to guide Brother Ge's secondary primordial spirit out!"

Chapter 331 Satan's Rebirth (Part 2)

Although Princess Haina had the Witch's Pendant, she didn't know the specific method of operation. She hesitated and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Great Goddess Nuwa!"

Yi Qing said anxiously, "The Great Goddess Nuwa is in the Nine Void Chaos beyond the Thirteen Heavens. She rarely comes to these Three Realms. When we get there, we will have to endure the Nine Heavens Gale and the erosion of the Chaos Qi. I'm afraid Brother Ge's wisp of primordial spirit won't be able to withstand it for that long."

Duomei smiled and said, "It's alright. I think Brother Ge is using the method of primordial spirit possession. I will cast a spell to send Brother Ge's main primordial spirit into this Witch's Pendant so that it can fit into his body. It's still primordial spirit possession, so we don't have to worry about the time, the Nine Heavens Gale, or the Chaos Qi."

Everyone was overjoyed and quickly stepped aside to protect Duomei.

Princess Haina opened her jade palm, placing the Demon Jade Pendant in her hand. Yi Qing also opened his jade palm, placing the golden light in his palm as well.

At this moment, Duo Mei slightly closed her beautiful eyes, her red lips parted slightly, and a holy light shone on her delicate jade face. She raised her right hand to her chest, and with her left hand, her slender fingers lightly drew a lotus flower, murmuring a true incantation.

After a while, a faint golden light was felt rising from her palm, drifting directly into Yi Qing's jade palm, pulling along the last trace of Ge Xiaoyao's spiritual light, and slowly rising into the air together, before entering the Demon Jade Pendant in Princess Haina's jade palm.

Duo Mei finally lowered her jade hand, opened her beautiful eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Alright!" Looking at the witch's pendant, she giggled sweetly, "Brother Ge, you can speak now!"

"Haha... Duo Mei, it really is you! And Hai Na, Qing'er, I'm so sorry to have worried you!" Ge Xiaoyao's laughter came from within the witch's pendant.

A smile appeared on everyone's faces, but Yi Qing wiped away her tears and said coquettishly, "Brother Ge, you really scared Qing'er to death!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled, not answering Yi Qing's question, but instead said, "Ge Xiaoyao greets all the Dragon Immortals and the Golden Light Generals!"

"Third Prince Dragon, it should be us greeting the Prince!" All the Dragon Immortals took a step back and respectfully bowed to the witch's pendant.

At this moment, Jin Cheng, the Golden Light Divine General, also said, "General Ge, you're too kind! If it weren't for you, we would probably have died in the Demon Realm long ago!"

Then, Duo Mei said, "Alright, Brother Ge, we'll take you to the Great Goddess Nuwa to restore your physical body!"
Ge

Xiaoyao said, "That's good! We must hurry. I'm worried that Rogers will also recover his physical body quickly. Once he descends to the mortal realm, it will likely be a great catastrophe!"

Everyone nodded and said, "We'll set off now!"

Just then, a dragon immortal suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! We must leave quickly!"

It turned out that countless demonic troops had suddenly surged towards them from afar.

These demonic troops were all demons from the Demon Alliance that Roger had brought from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Roger had equipped them with the armor and weapons of Heavenly Gods and Generals, greatly increasing their combat power. Moreover, the Demonic Tribulation Spirit Wine and Heavenly Demonic Tribulation Lightning they carried had also significantly boosted their cultivation level. Now, surging like a tide, their power was immense and terrifying.

Even though Duo Mei and the others had extremely high cultivation levels, they would likely have to pay a considerable price to fight them.

Ge Xiaoyao clearly sensed the approaching demonic energy and understood the relative strengths of both sides. He quickly said, "Duo Mei, Yi Qing, don't linger! Shake off these demonic troops!"

Among the group, Duo Mei had the highest cultivation and the most astute thinking, making her the clear leader. She also realized that these demonic troops were hostile and difficult to deal with. After a moment's thought, she said, "Yi Qing, Hai Na, you two take Brother Ge to the Nine Void Chaos to find the Goddess Nuwa. General Jin, the Dragon Immortals, and I will hold off these demons. We'll meet again in the Milky Way in the Heavenly Realm."

Seeing the demons gradually closing in, Hai Na and Yi Qing exchanged a glance and nodded, saying, "Sister Duo Mei, seniors, we'll go ahead now. Once we rescue Brother Ge, we'll go find you in the Milky Way!"

With that, the two graceful figures soared into the air and flew towards the Heavenly Realm.

As they flew, Duomei let out a delicate shout, and the golden-light divine generals and soldiers, along with the dragon immortals, roared in unison, each unleashing golden flying swords and various dragon immortal divine treasures, instantly shredding the hundreds of demon soldiers closest to them.

More demon soldiers charged forward with shouts, and hundreds of heavenly demon tribulation lightning bolts were hurled at the crowd, exploding into a sea of fire.

Two golden-light divine soldiers were caught off guard and were struck by the heavenly demon tribulation lightning, instantly turning to ashes and disappearing without a trace.

Duomei was secretly alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "Go! Charge into the demons!" While using her golden divine power to protect herself, she leaped high into the air and landed among the demons, engaging them in fierce combat.

At this moment, led by the golden-light divine general, the golden-light divine soldiers and the dragon immortals had also blended into the demon horde. Their cultivation was profound, and as long as the demons did not unleash their heavenly demon tribulation lightning, they could not harm them for the time being.

They fought and retreated, gradually heading towards the Milky Way.

As they retreated, the Golden Light General Jin Cheng unleashed a golden light that exploded in the sky, forming a large "Command" character.

Soon after, the distant sound of drums and shouts filled the air. The sound drew nearer instantly, revealing thousands of Golden Light Divine Soldiers. Leading them was a Golden Light General clad in dragon-embroidered golden armor, wielding a three-pointed, double-edged halberd. He had an extra eye between his brows, its golden light blazing forth, exuding immense power. This was Yang Jian, the very same Yang Jian who had met Ge Xiaoyao. Now the Erlang Shen of the Heavenly Realm, serving as Marshal Tianpeng, he led three thousand divine soldiers to guard the Milky Way and monitor the demons after the Jade Emperor and other gods descended to the mortal realm.

As the divine soldiers approached, the demons scattered in disarray. The soldiers did not pursue them, but instead carried Duo Mei, Long Xian, and the others towards the Milky Way.

The Nine Heavens Gale, howling and swirling, stretched from the Celestial Realm to the Nine Void Chaos Realm. Had one not possessed the cultivation of a Great Luo True Immortal

, their physical body would likely have been blown apart long ago. Yi Qing, being an ancient True God, had long since become accustomed to the chaotic energy and was completely unfazed by the Nine Heavens Gale. However, Princess Haina suffered greatly. With her lower cultivation level and residing in the idyllic, secluded Demon Realm, she had never encountered such a fierce wind. She was tormented by the wind, her body wracked with pain, yet she gritted her teeth and endured it silently.

Just as she was suffering unbearably, she suddenly felt a warm sensation throughout her body, and the surrounding gale vanished completely. Upon closer inspection, she discovered it was a golden light emanating from Yi Qing, enveloping her within it. It turned out that Yi Qing, seeing Princess Haina unable to withstand the fierce wind, had released his ancient divine power, creating a considerable divine shield to envelop the two of them and resist the Nine Heavens Gale.

"Sister Qing'er, thank you so much!" Haina hurriedly said.

Yi Qing replied, "Sister Hai Na, no need to thank me!"

The two smiled at each other, their bond growing even stronger. One was an ancient true god, the other a princess of the demon realm; neither harbored worldly desires. Although they both knew of each other's affection for Ge Xiaoyao, they felt no jealousy whatsoever.

Passing through the Nine Heavens Gale, they encountered a hazy, chaotic aura.

This chaotic aura lay beyond the Three Realms, unchanging for countless eons, still a veil of mist, interspersed with the power of falling clouds and chaotic stars—extremely dangerous. Even the gods, immortals, Buddhas, and human emperors of the Three Realms dared not easily traverse it. Fortunately, Yi Qing, the ancient true god, was there. Born within chaos, she was unafraid of its ferocity and immediately protected Hai Na with all her might as they journeyed towards the thirteenth heaven.

Haina kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to look directly at the chaotic clouds and scattered stars within the turbulent energy. Moreover, Yiqing moved with extraordinary agility within the turbulent energy, like a fish swimming freely. Haina couldn't bother to observe her surroundings, but

she was filled with admiration for her younger sister, Yiqing. In fact, Yiqing also greatly admired Haina. Haina herself wasn't highly skilled, and being a female demon, she had dared to brave the perils and risk her life to traverse the Nine Heavens Gale and the turbulent energy. A feeling of admiration

welled up within her. They were sisters who had shared hardships, and their bond deepened without words.

"Sister Haina, open your eyes! We've reached the Thirteenth Heaven!"

After an unknown amount of time, Haina heard Yiqing's sweet voice, opened her eyes, and was suddenly filled with astonishment, letting out a gasp of surprise.

The Thirteenth Heaven was a magnificent ancient sacred realm.

The earth was like cotton, and towering trees, like dragons, stood tall. Wide rivers flowed, their waters sparkling with starlight. Five colors flowed across the sky, like rainbows and rosy clouds hanging in the dome of the earth. A warm breeze caressed their faces, and a delicate fragrance filled the air.

In this sacred land of fertile fields and lush forests, enormous golden lions, giant apes, one-horned steeds, two-horned crystal deer, and countless other exotic beasts and rare birds frolicked and roared.

"I never imagined there was such a beautiful place!" Haina exclaimed, her beautiful eyes taking in the surroundings, seemingly unable to take it all in at the boundless, dreamlike scenery.

Yi Qing had also visited this place beyond the thirteen heavens several times in ancient times, and smiled sweetly, saying, "Alright, let's go find the goddess Nuwa!"

Haina nodded, still looking around, her face showing an incredulous envy.

Yi Qing smiled, took Haina's hand, and flew across the Nine Void Chaos Realm. Before long, they saw a mountain of clouds and mist, resembling a coiled dragon and snake.

At the summit, amidst the shimmering five-colored rainbow light, a woman of unparalleled beauty, with a human face and a snake's body, sat cross-legged.

“That’s the Great Goddess Nuwa!” Yi Qing whispered in Hai Na’s ear.

At this moment, Nuwa had clearly seen Yi Qing and Hai Na. Her fingers slightly bent, her expression hardening, she already knew their origins and backgrounds. She immediately said, “Yi Qing, Hai Na, have you come to see me because of Ge Xiaoyao?”

Yi Qing and Hai Na were instantly before Nuwa, bowing and replying, “Indeed, we beg the Great Goddess Nuwa to use her magic to restore Ge Xiaoyao!”

Nuwa thought for a moment and smiled slightly, “Ge Xiaoyao was originally a reborn form of the Ancestral Dragon, how could he have died? Even if his…” "If your physical body is destroyed, you can naturally condense a new one from the Dragon Immortal Platform. Why

go to such lengths to seek help from me?" The Dragon Immortal Platform was originally formed from the teeth of the ancient true god, the Ancestral Dragon. It can condense the bodies of all dragon immortals. The hundreds of dragon immortals, Ge Xiaoyao, and Long Tianxin all originated from that Dragon Immortal Platform. But how could Yi Qing and Hai Na know the mysteries within? Besides, the Dragon Immortal Platform is now at the bottom of Dragon Immortal Lake at the summit of Kunlun. Are you suggesting they return to the mortal realm?

Yi Qing thought for a moment and said, "Great Goddess Nuwa, I know about the Dragon Immortal Platform you mentioned, but it disappeared a long time ago. I beg you, Great Goddess Nuwa, to save it for the sake of my past relationship with my master!"

In fact, Yi Qing was greatly shocked when she heard that Ge Xiaoyao was actually the reincarnation of her master, the Ancestral Dragon. However, she quickly changed her mind. Although he was the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon, he was now Ge Xiaoyao, her Brother Ge. She didn't need to worry about it too much.

Haina pleaded sweetly, "Great Goddess Nuwa, please have mercy and save Brother Ge!"

Nuwa smiled slightly and sighed, "Unfortunately, my five-colored crystal has already melted into Ge Xiaoyao's past life's love tribulation, Chu Yu'er. If I want to save him now, I can only mold clay to create a body for him!" Upon hearing that Ge

Xiaoyao could be saved and his body recreated, Yiqing and Haina were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Great Goddess Nuwa!"

Nuwa continued, "Remember, after I create his physical body, he still needs to go to the Dragon Immortal Platform again..." "Only by refining the dragon's body can we truly defeat that demon Satan..."

Yi Qing and Hai Na immediately replied, "Yes, Great Goddess Nuwa, we understand!"

Princess Hai Na recalled the story of Ge Xiaoyao and Chu Yu that Duo Mei had told her, and immediately asked, "Great Goddess Nuwa, when will Sister Chu Yu be able to refine her true form and reincarnate?"

Nuwa's face showed a profound smile and said, "In that case, Chu Yu and Ge Xiaoyao still have an unresolved karmic entanglement, and they can only meet again when the time is right!"

Hai Na nodded and said nothing more.

Nuwa smiled slightly, and pointed her slender, jade-like hand at the wide river below. A white light flashed, and a lump of golden mud appeared in her palm.

Enveloped in a hazy white light, Nuwa's delicate fingers moved lightly, and soon a human figure appeared from her palm.

"Haina, Yi Qing, bring me Ge Xiaoyao's primordial spirit!" Nuwa said softly.

Yi Qing and Hai Na quickly took out the witch's pendant and respectfully handed it over.

Nuwa stretched out her jade palm, and a ball of golden light landed in her palm—it was Ge Xiaoyao's primordial spirit.

Nuwa smiled slightly and gently blew a breath of pure air onto the clay figure. Ge Xiaoyao's primordial spirit automatically flew up and slowly seeped into the clay body.

Nuwa laughed, "Alright!" With that, she tossed the clay figure into the air, and it instantly vanished without a trace.

Yi Qing and Hai Na were immediately shocked. Before they could ask, Nuwa spoke, "Yi Qing, Hai Na, Ge Xiaoyao has returned to the summit of Kunlun. You should quickly go there to find him and have him refine his dragon body in the Dragon Immortal Platform before returning to the Heavenly Realm to fight Satan!"

Only then did Yi Qing and Hai Na understand that there was such a profound mystery involved. They immediately bowed in gratitude, bid farewell to the great goddess Nuwa, and headed down to the mortal realm.

Chapter 332 The Summit of Kunlun (Part 1)

On Mount Kunlun, the trees were lush and verdant.

The majestic palace of the Kunlun Sect stood quietly halfway up the mountain. The entire mountain was almost deserted, a stark contrast to the days when three thousand disciples cultivated from the summit to the foot, their swords flashing and true energy constantly crisscrossing the air.

Outside the tall, desolate Kunyu Palace, a lone figure stood, gazing up at the still-golden characters "Kunyu Palace" on the hall's plaque.

The pale sunlight cast a long shadow before him.

"Kunlun..." Ge Xiaoyao murmured, recalling his days in the Heavenly Realm, everything seeming like a dream.

Now, besides the memories of his unparalleled divine power, he was left with only a mortal body.

This body couldn't jump high, couldn't run fast, and couldn't even become invisible. He had climbed up from the foot of Kunlun Mountain, his feet blistered, and now, standing motionless, he was in excruciating pain from time to time.

"Damn it! Am I, Ge Xiaoyao, dreaming too much?" He bit his tongue; it hurt!

He hadn't felt pain in a long time, and now that it was back, he felt a little unaccustomed to it.

The golden light from the Kunyu Palace's rooftop made him dizzy, and perhaps he was also hungry. In any case, it had taken him more than a day to climb up from the foot of the mountain, and during that time, he hadn't eaten anything except for picking two sour fruits.

"Gurgle..." A strange sound came from his stomach. Ge Xiaoyao felt that feeling was very familiar, as if he had experienced it somewhere before.

He remembered, it was in the Purple Mist Deep Ravine, when the white-headed eagle had just been captured, and Xiao San'er was still around. Ge Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that big radish, took a bite, and felt full of energy. The feeling of not being hungry or thirsty was really good.

Radish? That was a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king... He had thrown away so many of them like clubs.

"Brother Ge..."

A silvery voice came from the sky, and several beautiful women slowly descended from the sky.

"Wow, a fairy!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed, then plopped down on the ground, chuckling weakly, "Duo Mei, Hai Na, Qing'er, quickly get me some food! I'm starving!"

Another burst of silvery laughter followed. Qing and Hai Na landed beside Ge Xiaoyao, while Duo Mei flew down the mountain.

"Brother Ge, I've finally found you!" Qing said happily. Looking at Ge Xiaoyao's coarse clothes and disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Ge Xiaoyao glanced at Yi Qing with displeasure. "What are you laughing at?"

"Hehe..." Yi Qing's laughter grew louder, infecting Hai Na as well. "I'm laughing at how arrogant you were in the Heavenly Realm, and now look what happened!"

Ge Xiaoyao sighed. "How was I supposed to end up like this, back in my original body!" Then, as if remembering something, he looked up and asked, "By the way, Hai Na, Qing'er, did you take my primordial spirit to Nuwa to revive it?"

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao's disbelieving look, Yi Qing and Hai Na exchanged a glance, quickly composed themselves, and nodded solemnly.

"Sigh!" Ge Xiaoyao simply lay down.

"Brother Ge... get up! Goddess Nuwa only sculpted a body for you out of clay. She also instructed that if you refine this body at the Dragon Ascension Platform, you can ascend!"

Ge Xiaoyao shifted his body and said lazily, "That's more like it. I'm exhausted, I'm going to take a nap... Go find me something to eat!"

Yi Qing and Hai Na burst out laughing again. Yi Qing found it funny to see Ge Xiaoyao rolling around on the ground, while Hai Na found it funny to hear him talk. Their thoughts were different, and so were their laughs. One was like a shy rosebud, the other like a blooming peony. Fortunately, Ge Xiaoyao had already fallen asleep, otherwise, seeing their laughter, he probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at all.

"We know... Sister Duomei has already gone to find you something to eat!" Haina smiled, pursing her lips. However, seeing that Ge Xiaoyao didn't react and had already fallen into a deep sleep, she could only sigh softly.

Seeing her beloved man so exhausted, she felt a pang of sadness.

Logically, she should be content that he had been brought back to life. But what woman is ever truly content?

Yiqing and Haina found a clean stone platform nearby and sat down. They exchanged a glance, smiled helplessly, and each rested their chin on their hands, gazing longingly at the man who had once captivated them, but was now sordid.

Once a woman falls in love with a man, no matter how sordid he is, it seems unimportant.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so it is with love that beauty is in the eye of the beholder as well.

Inside the Kunyu Palace, the tall, gilded statues of the Three Pure Ones stood high on the altar, smiling as they watched Ge Xiaoyao devour a chicken leg, occasionally wiping his greasy lips with the back of his hand.

The three women, like the Three Pure Ones, smiled at Ge Xiaoyao. However, the Three Pure Ones didn't move; they were stone statues and wouldn't budge. Duo Mei, on the other hand, carefully took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to Ge Xiaoyao.

"Ha...so refreshing!" Ge Xiaoyao gulped down a large pot of wine, then burped and patted his belly, laughing.

Humans, really! When they feel there's nothing appealing, they simply stop eating. A couple of meals of hunger will naturally restore their appetite.

Ge Xiaoyao finally experienced the happiness of being human again—the feeling of having a full stomach when hungry. He didn't cherish the handkerchief at all, casually wiping his mouth. Then, he covered his mouth with the handkerchief and didn't remove it.

Duo Mei, Yi Qing, and Hai Na all stared wide-eyed at Ge Xiaoyao's dazed expression, secretly astonished.

Ge Xiaoyao took a deep, deep breath, then exhaled sharply. He didn't want to exhale, but he knew he would suffocate if he didn't, because the aroma was too intoxicating. So he had no choice but to take another deep breath.

He squinted, looking at the three beauties one by one, and finally chuckled.

"Humans!" Ge Xiaoyao sighed, shaking his head to himself, "When people are well-fed and warm, they think of lewd pleasures, it's really true!"

The three beauties laughed in unison. Duo Mei asked gently, "Brother Ge, are you full?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded; he really didn't want to admit that he wasn't full, that he wasn't satisfied in his heart.

"Alright!" Hai Na said, "Then we should go, go home!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Yi Qing's beautiful eyes. She had already heard Duo Mei describe the magnificent scenery of the Immortal Physician's Mansion, and now she was almost impatient to go.

Ge Xiaoyao was carried by the three beauties towards the snow-capped peak of Kunlun. If it weren't for the incredibly hard divine power shield blocking his way, he would have had to use both hands to thoroughly rub himself against these three beauties.

However, Ge Xiaoyao soon realized the usefulness of this divine power shield, which was as hard as sheet metal and as transparent as glass. For a mortal, diving hundreds of meters into the lake requires immense courage and willpower. Of course, if an ordinary person were to go hundreds of meters underwater naked, they would almost become a god. Of course, this also proves that they would have stopped breathing.

"Hehe, so divine power is this hard for mortals. When I want to unleash my divine power, I'll just feel like I'm just flicking a ribbon!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. He saw a fish three times his length swim past him.

He wanted to eat fish again.

Finally, Ge Xiaoyao seemed to see the sun again and a huge rainbow. The hard shell on his body had disappeared. He swung his arms, stretching his limbs, and was instantly soaked.

Not sweat, but lake water, which poured down like rain, drenching him in an instant.

Seeing Duo Mei, Yi Qing, and Hai Na still dressed in flowing colorful robes, exuding charm, he couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, it's better to be an immortal! A wet phoenix is no better than a chicken!"

Standing on the enormous bridge, he felt dizzy and began to regret letting Ling Lei and Tian Xin cause so much trouble, allowing the Black-Faced Dragon Immortal to make the bridge so dangerous. It turned out this really wasn't a place for mortals.

"Brother Ge, we're home! Ling Lei and Tian Xin should be coming out to greet us soon!" Hai Na laughed. She hadn't seen Ling Lei and Tian Xin in a long time and was extremely excited.

Yi Qing looked at the cascading waterfall and rainbow dragon bridge with a look of amazement, muttering to himself, "How can there be such a place? Who built this immortal abode!"

Only Duo Mei remained behind them, smiling silently.

Before reaching the bridge, Ge Xiaoyao finally couldn't hold on any longer and grabbed Haina's soft arm. Unwilling to show weakness, he casually tried to change the subject, "Haina...did Qing'er take me to Nuwa all by herself?"

"Brother Ge...do you really not know, or are you pretending...you're not running a fever, are you?" Haina asked with concern, reaching out her delicate hand to touch Ge Xiaoyao's forehead.

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head; he didn't want to be so idiotic. "Was it you?" he asked

. Haina smiled and said, "It was Qing'er and me. We were surrounded by thousands of demon soldiers. Sister Duomei, along with Dragon Immortal and Golden Light General, covered our escape and helped us reach the Thirteen Heavens. I was also very grateful for Qing'er's divine protection!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, his dizziness lessening. "This method of distraction really works!" he thought to himself, slowly sliding forward two more steps.

"How did Duomei and the others manage to break through?"

Haina smiled slightly, glanced back at Duomei, and said, "When Sister Duomei, Dragon Immortal, and the Golden Light Divine Soldiers were fighting those demons, a divine general named Erlang Zhenjun led more than three thousand divine soldiers to help them out of the predicament."

"Oh!" Ge Xiaoyao responded, then asked, "Erlang Zhenjun, is his real name Yang Jian?"

"Yes! Brother Ge, Sister Duomei also heard him say that he promised you three things but hasn't done them yet!" Haina said.

Ge Xiaoyao then remembered that he had indeed made a bet with Yang Jian and won three things from him. He chuckled and said, "I haven't decided what these three things are for him to do yet, so let him owe me for now!"

As they spoke, the group arrived at the bridgehead, where they saw a huge stone tablet with the four characters "Medical Immortal's True Mansion" engraved on it, as well as a strange beast that looked like a mythical creature.

The monster was sleeping on the ground when it suddenly seemed to hear a sound. Its eyes, as large as lanterns, snapped open, flashing golden light and shooting towards Ge Xiaoyao and the others. Ge Xiaoyao, blinded by the golden light, quickly covered his eyes, thinking to himself, "This Water Demon Dragon Eagle, doesn't it recognize its master?!"

The Water Demon Dragon Eagle then let out a strange roar, its massive body rising swiftly and instantly blocking Ge Xiaoyao's path. Its large head extended, its two golden, fiery eyes fixed on Ge Xiaoyao and Haina, before it let out another long roar.

It had spotted Duo Mei walking behind them.

"Sister Duo Mei… what kind of monster is that? What's it doing here?" Yi Qing asked Duo Mei, noticing the Water Demon Dragon Eagle's strange appearance.

Duo Mei smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, that's Brother Ge's pet. Don't let its size fool you, it has a good temper!" She quickened her pace, instantly reaching the Water Demon Dragon Eagle.

"Little Demon..." Duo Mei smiled at the Water Demon Dragon Eagle, pointing at Ge Xiaoyao, "He is your master, my Brother Ge, have you forgotten?"

The Water Demon Dragon Eagle shook its huge head, looked at Ge Xiaoyao carefully again, and exhaled a cloud of white mist from its nostrils, as if giving a cold snort.

Chapter 333 The Summit of Kunlun (Part 2)

“No wonder!” Duo Mei laughed. “Brother Ge, you’re in a mortal body now, unlike your previous immortal body. No wonder this little eagle doesn’t recognize you!”

Ge Xiaoyao just smiled wryly, thinking to himself, “This is really troublesome. This guy was created by me, but now he doesn’t recognize me! Hmph, it seems that if I recover my Dragon Immortal body, I’ll have to improve this guy’s intelligence!”

Duo Mei smiled at the Water Demon Dragon Eagle again, waved her hand, and pointed to the side. The Water Demon Dragon Eagle seemed to understand her meaning. Its huge, mountain-like body slowly moved away, lay down again, and continued to sleep.

“Duo Mei, I remember this Water Demon Dragon Eagle wasn’t this big!” Ge Xiaoyao asked, looking at the Water Demon Dragon Eagle’s lazy appearance.

Duo Mei smiled and said, "This guy has nothing to do here every day, just eats and sleeps, so naturally he's getting fatter and bigger!"

As she spoke, the four of them laughed, but then a bright, sweet voice called out, "Brother Ge, Sister Duo Mei... you're really back!"

"Tianxin, Linglei, Yulu..."

Ge Xiaoyao called out with a smile.

The four beauties ran over from afar, crossing a stone forest and a square, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of Ge Xiaoyao.

After embracing each of them, Ge Xiaoyao looked at his seven beauties and only now did he realize how fortunate he was.

"Brother Ge, you rescued Sister Haina! Eh... who is this younger sister?" asked Linghu Tianxin.

Before Ge Xiaoyao could introduce them, Yi Qing answered herself, "My name is Yi Qing!" She glanced at Ge Xiaoyao with a cunning look, leaned closer, and whispered in his ear, "I didn't expect you to have so many wives!"

Ge Xiaoyao laughed heartily, and the beauties laughed too. In fact, they had all heard what Yi Qing said clearly.

"Alright! Now that Brother Ge is back, let's quickly prepare a banquet and have a good get-together!" Long Tianxin suggested.

Everyone agreed, and they immediately headed towards the Immortal Physician's Mansion.

The Immortal Physician's Mansion was now decorated extremely lavishly, filled with jewels, jade, coral, and agate. The vast hall was fully furnished with all sorts of decorations.

Ge Xiaoyao looked around and nodded in satisfaction. It seemed having many wives wasn't bad; at least it could make the house look very impressive.

The banquet was very lavish, and Ge Xiaoyao even felt that many things tasted like they were being eaten for the first time—incredibly delicious.

Perhaps because he was currently only in a mortal body, he only drank a small cup of wine before becoming somewhat tipsy. The seven beauties, on the other hand, were incredibly lively, each with a huge capacity for alcohol, until their faces were flushed and their drunkenness subsided.

At this time, Ge Xiaoyao had already left alone and gone to the plaza.

In the distance, he could see the huge jade dragon platform standing on the plaza, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire bottom of Dragon Immortal Lake and the Immortal Physician's Mansion.

"Hehe... I'd better restore my dragon form first! Otherwise, with this mortal body, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand those fairies' torment for a night, and I'll be finished!" he thought to himself.

"I wonder how that demon Roger is doing? Has he already returned to his original form?" Ge Xiaoyao thought as he walked. "However, the Divine Fire Furnace has been destroyed by his own magic power. It's impossible for him to restore his body in the Divine Fire Furnace. Hehe, once I, Ge Xiaoyao, restore my dragon form, I will definitely beat you to a pulp, so that you can never rise again!"

From the Immortal Doctor's Mansion to the square, Ge Xiaoyao walked for a full half hour, secretly lamenting that a big house wasn't all that great. Luckily, he hadn't built the toilet here, otherwise, he would have missed a crucial opportunity.

In the distance, Ge Xiaoyao saw several graceful figures appearing below the Dragon Immortal Platform in the square. After taking a few steps forward, he realized that they were none other than Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Tian Xin, and others.

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao's unsteady, slow, and deliberate gait, the beauties covered their mouths and laughed.

They stopped laughing as Ge Xiaoyao approached, and Duo Mei immediately spoke up, "Brother Ge, why didn't you let us know you were coming to Dragon Immortal Terrace! We've been looking for you everywhere!"

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly. You all waited for me here beforehand, you know me better than the worms in my stomach. What difference does it make whether I let you know or not? He smiled and said, "Your Brother Ge wanted to give you a surprise!"

Long Tianxin smiled and said, "We thought you'd been captured by those black fish demons! Recently, several black fish demons have appeared in Dragon Immortal Lake. They're quite powerful. If it weren't for the strong divine defenses of our Immortal Medicine Palace and the skill of Little Eagle, they almost broke into our house!"

"Is that so?"

Ge Xiaoyao frowned. How could he allow others to sleep peacefully beside his bed? Ge Xiaoyao was no weakling. Dragon Immortal Lake was now his domain; anyone who dared to cause trouble here was asking for trouble.

"What black fish spirits? When did they arrive at Dragon Immortal Lake?" Duo Mei asked, clearly unaware of the matter.

At this moment, Yu Lu said sweetly, "Brother Ge, Sister Duo Mei, those black fish spirits came after you went to the Heavenly Realm. We don't know where they came from, but they just won't leave and have harassed us several times. We've had to stay in the mansion these past few days." Ge Xiaoyao

nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Aren't you even a match for them?"

Mei Hu Tianxin said, "Even the most powerful Long'er sister isn't a match for them, so we're even less of a match. Besides, you and Sister Duo Mei aren't here, and the dragon immortals have all descended to the mortal realm or gone to the Heavenly Realm with Sister Duo Mei to find you! We had no choice but to swallow our anger." "I'm angry."

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then thought to himself, "Hmm, let them live a couple more days. Once I, Ge Xiaoyao, have returned to my true form, they'll be in for a world of hurt! But this time when I came up from the foot of the mountain, Kunlun Mountain was deserted. Where have all those Kunlun Sect members gone?"

Ling Lei sighed and said, "Brother Ge, don't you know that a day in heaven is a year on earth? The world has changed drastically. Wars are raging everywhere. Not only have hundreds of dragon immortals been drawn in, but it seems that many celestial beings have also been involved. There are seven overlords in the world alone: Jin, Wei..." "Zhao, Qi, Chu... and many more, it's a complete mess."

She paused, seeing that Ge Xiaoyao seemed to understand, before continuing, "The Kunlun Sect is no longer the immortal sect it once was. Because of constant warfare in the mortal realm, spiritual energy has become increasingly scarce, and there are very few cultivators left. Most people are now practicing martial arts, and Kunlun has gradually developed into a martial arts sect. Now, with the world in chaos, all the Kunlun disciples have descended the mountain to help various countries vie for supremacy in the Central Plains."

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, understanding Ling Lei's meaning; it seemed the mortal world had entered the Warring States period. He felt a pang of unease. Jin found it amusing and thought to himself , "If it weren't for the fact that there's still a Luo Gesi in the Heavenly Realm who hasn't been eliminated, it wouldn't be bad to participate in this battle of the Seven Heroes!"

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Kunlun is the gateway to our Immortal Physician's True Mansion. The Kunlun Sect cannot afford to decline. Duo Mei, why don't you take charge of the Kunlun Sect and restore Kunlun's prestige?"

Duo Mei nodded and smiled, "Great! That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Ge Xiaoyao added, "Those few black fish demons are nothing to worry about! You all need to pay attention to the affairs of the Kunlun Sect and help your sister Duo Mei!"

All the beauties agreed. Long Tianxin smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I also have some connection with Kunlun. If Sister Duo Mei is the sect leader, then I'll be the deputy sect leader!"

With that, everyone laughed.

Ge Xiaoyao looked at the Dragon Immortal Platform and laughed, "Tianxin, I have no magic power right now. Don't worry about the Kunlun Sect's leadership. Put away this Dragon Immortal Platform first and help me refine my dragon body!"

Long Tianxin smiled sweetly and said, "Okay!" She secretly chanted the incantation, stretched out a finger with her left hand, and a golden light shot out from that finger, directly into the huge jade Dragon Immortal Platform.

In a short while, the radiance emanating from the Dragon Immortal Platform gradually intensified. The massive platform slowly rose into the air, rotating gradually, faster and smaller, until it transformed into a small, exquisite jade platform the size of a palm, spinning rapidly in mid-air.

Yi Qing had never seen the Dragon Immortal Platform before and found it fascinating. Having entered the Demon-Subduing Mirror earlier, she was unaware that the Dragon Immortal Platform was actually formed from the teeth of her master, the Ancestral Dragon. She exclaimed in amazement.

"Brother Ge, are you ready?" Long Tianxin asked.

Ge Xiaoyao gazed at the Dragon Immortal Platform, recalling the first time he saw it at the foot of Jishi Mountain. A feeling of immense familiarity welled up within him, and he smiled, "Ready! Let's begin!"

Long Tianxin smiled slightly, and a golden light emanated from his left palm, enveloping Ge Xiaoyao. Ge Xiaoyao's body slowly rose, shrinking continuously until it transformed into a beam of golden light that shot straight into the Dragon Immortal Platform.

Ge Xiaoyao's body plunged into the Dragon Platform, which suddenly burst forth with an extremely bright golden light. The light flashed and then vanished, gradually ceasing its rotation.

Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Mei Hu Tianxin, and the others had never seen such a wondrous Dragon Platform before, and their faces were filled with astonishment.

Long Tianxin said, "Sisters, it's alright, just wait a little longer, Brother Ge will be out!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes fixed on the Dragon Platform. No one noticed that behind them, three masked men dressed in black had appeared.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, one of the men let out a fierce laugh.

The seven beauties were startled, but before they could react, the three men each unleashed a blood-red demonic aura, engulfing the Dragon Platform, which had stopped in mid-air.

"Not good... Brother Ge!" Duo Mei exclaimed, her graceful figure spinning rapidly, releasing a snow-white Kunlun divine aura.

Although her reaction was swift, the burly men in black seemed to have come prepared. They had already snatched the Dragon Platform and, with a long laugh, vanished into thin air.

"Chase them!" Duo Mei gritted her teeth and shouted.

Long Tianxin also said, "Those three wretched black fish demons! I didn't expect them to slip through our defenses!"

The seven women each used their movement techniques to chase after the direction the three black fish demons had disappeared in.

Unbeknownst to them, the three black fish demons in Dragon Immortal Lake had already sensed Long Tianxin retracting the Dragon Platform. When

Ge Xiaoyao created the Immortal Healer's Abode, he placed the Dragon Platform here to establish a flawless divine power defense, using its immense spiritual power to support the entire abode.

Now that Long Tianxin had retracted the Dragon Platform, the abode's defenses naturally weakened due to the reduced spiritual power, creating a vulnerability. Having long coveted the Immortal Healer's Abode, yet hampered by its formidable divine protection, they were now eager to seize the opportunity.

They quickly bypassed the Water Demon Dragon statue guarding the abode and arrived there, only to witness Ge Xiaoyao entering the Dragon Immortal Platform. They immediately sensed that the platform held a supreme treasure. After

a brief discussion, the three decided to strike first and seize the treasure.

With the treasure in hand, they immediately fled, realizing that besides the formidable young girl Long Tianxin, two other women possessed equally impressive cultivation: Duo Mei and Yi Qing. They

raced ahead, quickly leaving the seven women behind, and flew towards the summit of Kunlun Mountain, where a vast expanse of ice and snow stretched out. Beneath this expanse lay an ancient cave, frozen for millions of years.

Unable to seize the Immortal Healer's Abode at the bottom of Dragon Immortal Lake, they had no choice but to temporarily hide within the cave.

"Brothers, once we refine this treasure, we'll be invincible! What Qin, Jin, Zhao, Wei, Chu—no matter how powerful their righteous paths are, they can't harm the three of us!" said the fish spirit with a black beard.

Chapter 334 The Summit of Kunlun (Part 2)

Although the three were all black fish spirits, their cultivation levels differed. The strongest, with a black beard, was close to the Heavenly Demon level and was the eldest. The second strongest had a red beard and was the second oldest. The youngest had a silver beard and was the weakest.

"Is that so? I doubt it!" a clear voice said.

The black-bearded fish spirit casually replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you have any confidence in your eldest brother?" But then he suddenly realized something was wrong. Looking around, he saw that the red-bearded and silver-bearded fish spirits both looked horrified. Looking around again, there was no one else there.

"What's going on?" the black-bearded fish spirit exclaimed.

A burst of wild laughter rang out, "You three dead fish, you dare to steal even your grandfather Ge Xiaoyao's things? You really don't want to live!" As he spoke, a golden light shot out from the Dragon Immortal Platform held by the black-whiskered fish spirit, and a man bathed in golden light stood before them.

The golden light gradually faded, revealing a handsome young man with a wicked smile on his lips. It was none other than Ge Xiaoyao, who had refined his dragon body from the Dragon Immortal Platform.

He stretched out his hand slightly, and the Dragon Immortal Platform in the black-whiskered fish spirit's hand suddenly flew out and instantly flew into his hand.

"I've only been away from Dragon Immortal Lake for a few days, and you've already come to steal my territory. Didn't you even ask who owns Dragon Immortal Lake?" Ge Xiaoyao stood with his arms crossed, smiling faintly.

The three fish spirits exchanged glances, clearly not expecting such a roadblock to appear out of nowhere.

The silver-bearded fish spirit immediately roared, "Boy! Where the hell did you come from? Daring to talk big here, let me tell you! We three brothers are taking over Dragon Immortal Lake!"

The red-bearded fish spirit chuckled, "Not only Dragon Immortal Lake, but also that True Mansion, and those little beauties, we three brothers will take them all!"

"Die!" Ge Xiaoyao listened quietly, coldly squeezing out two words. With a wave of his hands, a heaven-shattering divine power roared out from his body.

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao make his move, the three fish spirits also unleashed their magic power, and in an instant, black mist billowed in front of them, forming a huge magical whirlwind pillar.

If judged solely on cultivation level, the three of them were not particularly strong, but these three fish spirits had mastered a combined attack technique, something like an array, with the magical whirlwind pillar being their most powerful move, which even a single Earth Immortal level cultivator would find difficult to withstand.

However, this time they encountered Ge Xiaoyao, who was even more powerful and resilient than a celestial being, so they could only consider it their bad luck.

Their magical whirlwind swept past, rising with a deafening roar and ending silently, vanishing without a trace like a gentle spring rain, completely neutralized by Ge Xiaoyao's divine power.

Moreover, even after dismantling the whirlwind, the divine power still struck the three fish spirits heavily.

Each of the three fish spirits exhaled a breath of black gas, staggering back several steps; the weakest, the silver-bearded fish spirit, nearly collapsed to the ground.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled dismissively. Compared to the demon Rogers, these little fish were far too weak, and he now regretted having been too harsh.

"Where exactly do you come from? Where did you cultivate to become spirits?" Ge Xiaoyao asked with a smile. Although he disdained these black fish spirits, he knew that for a black fish to cultivate to this level, it would probably take thousands of years. Therefore, he wanted to ask where these three fish spirits came from.

"Hmph! Boy...we are cuttlefish from the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Western Paradise! If you kill us, even the Buddha himself will avenge us!" the black-bearded fish demon said hatefully.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled coldly and said, "You dare to mention the Western Paradise! You want to seize my cave and humiliate my wife. How are you any different from demons? Is this how the Buddha preaches to you?!"

The black-bearded fish demon was stunned and lowered its head.

Ge Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, "Since you are descended from the Western Paradise, I can give Tathagata some face. Look at this!" As

he spoke, his mind stirred, and his body erupted with a hazy golden light. After the golden light faded, his body suddenly swelled, instantly transforming into a golden giant six zhang tall.

The three fish demons immediately showed expressions of horror on their faces and hurriedly bowed down, "Greetings, Buddha!"

Ge Xiaoyao revealed the six-zhang golden body left to him by Tathagata Buddha, instantly frightening the three fish demons out of their wits. He chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, this golden body was given to me by your Buddha!"

The three fish demons, their foreheads already beaded with cold sweat, trembled at his words. The black-whiskered fish demon muttered to himself, "My god... who is this kid? Buddha even gave him a golden body!" He quickly kowtowed again, saying, "Disciple knows his sins, disciple knows his sins, please spare our lives, Buddha!" In his haste

, he didn't know how to address Ge Xiaoyao.

The word "Buddha" made Ge Xiaoyao smile knowingly, thinking to himself, "If I were Buddha, I'd probably be inextricably linked to Tathagata!"

However, he had no intention of arguing with the three fish demons any further. After a moment's thought, he said, "I originally intended to kill you, but seeing your sincere repentance, I'll spare you this time!"

"Thank you, Buddha! Thank you, Buddha!" The three fish demons were overjoyed and quickly kowtowed in gratitude.

Ge Xiaoyao coughed lightly, interrupting the three men's chaotic chatter, and said, "I haven't finished yet. My Dragon Immortal Lake is indeed short three outer guards. Why don't you stay in this ice cave for now and guard Dragon Immortal Lake for me? What do you say?"

The three black fish demons hurriedly kowtowed again, saying, "Thank you, Buddha! We will certainly not let you down and will do our utmost to protect Dragon Immortal Lake!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled with satisfaction, having gained three more followers in the blink of an eye, feeling quite pleased. The key was that he had spared these three black fish demons, which was also a way of giving face to Buddha.

Thinking of Buddha's reincarnation, he wondered what had become of him. But the mortal realm was vast, and the reincarnations of gods and Buddhas were untraceable, so he sighed softly and stopped thinking about it.

Just then, Duomei, Yiqing, and the other seven beauties arrived and called out from afar, "Brother Ge!"

Long Tianxin, who had a quick temper, saw the three black fish demons kneeling on the ground and said angrily, "You three stinking fish demons, how dare you steal our things, you deserve to die!" He waved his hand and used his divine power to strike.

"Long'er, wait!" Ge Xiaoyao quickly stopped them, then said to the three, "Have you not paid your respects to the seven mistresses and apologized to them?"

The three black fish spirits, startled, finally came to their senses and hurriedly turned around, kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "We have paid our respects to the seven mistresses and apologized to them! We dare not do it again!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I have already taken them in as guardians of Dragon Immortal Lake. Long'er, you will not make things difficult for them in the future!"

Led by the black-whiskered fish spirit, the three black fish spirits hurriedly kowtowed again, saying, "Thank you, Buddha, for your mercy! Thank you, mistresses, for not holding a grudge and sparing our lives!"

After hearing what the three said, the beautiful fox Tianxin and Ling Lei burst out laughing. Everyone was confused and looked at the two.

Ling Lei said coquettishly, "Nonsense! How could Buddha have mistresses appear?"

Everyone instantly understood the meaning and immediately burst into laughter.

The three black fish spirits realized their slip of the tongue and quickly replied obsequiously, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Mistress."

Ge Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "Alright, from today onwards, you will guard this Dragon Immortal Lake. Of course, this Dragon Immortal Lake is originally the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Western Paradise Buddhist Realm, rich in spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to your cultivation. I will also teach you a set of Kunlun cultivation methods. In a short time, you will surely be able to shed your demonic forms and ascend to the path of immortality!"

The three black fish spirits were overjoyed; this was exactly what they wanted.

They came to the summit of Kunlun precisely because the water of Dragon Immortal Lake was from the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Buddhist Realm. Moreover, it was rich in spiritual energy, which was conducive to their cultivation.

Their attempt to seize the Immortal Healer's Mansion was also to drive out the aliens and monopolize this blessed land.

After occupying Dragon Immortal Lake, they also planned to attack the Kunlun Immortal Sect, find the Kunlun cultivation secrets, and then cultivate in peace.

Unexpectedly, Ge Xiaoyao gave them the answer with just a few words, and they were overjoyed, thanking him profusely.

"Don't thank me! As long as you do as I say, I won't treat you unfairly!" Ge Xiaoyao said.

"We will go through fire and water for our master without hesitation!" the three fish spirits said.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, but a thought suddenly struck him. He couldn't help but think of Yin San.

"I won't treat you unfairly! But haven't I treated Xiao San unfairly?" Ge Xiaoyao asked himself, a faint pang of sadness rising in his heart. "Alas, I wonder where Xiao San is now?" Ge Xiaoyao shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Brother Ge, let's go back!" Duo Mei quietly reminded him when she saw Ge Xiaoyao lost in thought.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go!" With that, he flew towards the bottom of Dragon Immortal Lake. This time, with the supreme power of gods and Buddhas protecting him, he easily reached the bottom of the lake.

"Respectfully seeing off our master! Respectfully seeing off our mistresses!" The three black fish spirits didn't dare raise

their heads and hurriedly said. Only when the fragrant breeze disappeared and only gusts of cold mountain wind blew by did the three black fish spirits raise their heads, look around, and see that Ge Xiaoyao and the seven beauties had all left. Only then did they dare to stand up, but they were all in a daze.

The scene just now truly felt like a dream to them.

After a long while, the black-bearded fish spirit murmured, "Was this real? Am I dreaming?"

"No, brother!" said the silver-bearded black fish spirit. His chest still ached faintly; Ge Xiaoyao's divine power had truly injured him badly.

The red-bearded black fish spirit said, "Brother, we really have met Buddha! He has ordered us to guard this Dragon Immortal Lake!"

The black-bearded fish spirit nodded, sighed inwardly, and suddenly slapped his forehead, as if remembering something, and said, "We haven't asked our master's name yet!"

"I heard the seven mistresses call him Brother Ge, so his surname might be Shi!" said the silver-bearded black fish spirit.

At this time, Ge Xiaoyao had already returned to his Immortal Physician's Abode and was comfortably lying on the huge jade bed.

Beside him lay seven beautiful women.

"Brother Ge...we're finally reunited!" said the beautiful fox Tianxin happily.

Ling Lei said, "Fox spirit sister...what about Sister Chu Yu? Have you forgotten?"

"Yes...if Sister Chu Yu also came back, we would truly be reunited!" Yu Lu blinked her beautiful eyes and said leisurely.

But Ge Xiaoyao wasn't thinking about Chu Yu now, because Chu Yu was with the goddess Nuwa. After he destroyed Luo Gesi, he could bring her back. Now, a faint, ethereal image floats in his mind, sometimes transforming into a slender, handsome man.

"Little San'er... I'll come find you after I destroy that Roger!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself.
