Chapter 440 - 440 449 People from Lingshan and Heavenly Court

440: Chapter 449 People from Lingshan and Heavenly Court 440: Chapter 449 People from Lingshan and Heavenly Court Unfortunately, Ye Xuan felt not the slightest reverence from the crowd, as with a single palm, he dragged two blood-colored spheres and vanished from the demons’ sight with one step, but his sullen and cold voice echoed throughout the eight corners of heaven and earth.

“Guard the Heavenly Ridge well, when people from the Western Lingshan and the Heavenly Court appear, I will show myself to deal with them.”

“Yes, eldest brother!”

The Ten Great Demon Kings abruptly came to their senses, bowing deeply to the retreating figure of Ye Xuan, while the endless demons at the Heavenly Ridge roared excitedly, having witnessed the terrifying level of Ye Xuan’s cultivation, invigorating them like a potent tonic.

…

Half a year passed, neither long nor short, but for Ye Xuan, this half-year was of utmost importance.

He had devoured the cultivation Dao Fruits of two Daluo Demon Kings, causing the limitless demons led by the two Great Demon Kings to scatter and flee, thereby bringing a rare period of tranquility to the Heavenly Ridge.

Inside the Nine Demon Cave.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by obscure Immortal Light, as the Daluo Golden Core in his Sea of Consciousness buzzed and spun, now larger than before.

Ye Xuan was in no rush to exit his seclusion, instead, he continued to stabilize his own cultivation.

Including the monsters of Jizhi Mountain and Ying Long Ancestor, Ye Xuan had devoured the cultivation of six Daluo beings.

By his estimate, if he devoured three more Golden Immortals of Daluo, he could aim for the realm of Golden Immortal.

The arrival of the Heavenly Court and Lingshan pressured Ye Xuan with time, yet he also saw it as an opportunity.

The Western Heavenly Court would surely have two beings of Daluo, and there was also the yet unseen Witch of Wushan, making up three beings of Daluo in total, sufficient enough for him to bring the Nine Revolutions of Daluo to Great Success.

Once he stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm, in this vast world, so long as no Saint intervened, who could threaten him?

At that time, Ye Xuan would not care if his identity were exposed; it would also mark the moment he reached the Golden Immortal Realm, the time for Ye Xuan to settle bygone grudges.

Simultaneously.

The Witch of Wushan and South Sea Guanyin arrived above the Heavenly Ridge on clouds, and at that same moment, Shen Gongbao alongside Gold Star Taibai appeared, followed by a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Alas, Shen Gongbao was a man of the Jie Sect, and under orders from the Heavenly Sect Master to protect Ye Xuan’s path—naturally, not an ally of South Sea Guanyin.

Upon meeting, they did not even exchange greetings.

However, as Gold Star Taibai represented the Heavenly Court, he naturally went forth to pay his respects to South Sea Guanyin.

“Guanyin, I pay homage,” said Gold Star Taibai with a Taoist bow.

“No need for such formalities, Gold Star,” replied South Sea Guanyin, bringing her hands together in greeting.

“Hmph!”

Suddenly, Shen Gongbao snorted coldly, his mouth curling into a sneer, “Ci Hang, you left the Chan Sect to join Buddhism, yet in that battle at the Heavenly Court, you stood on the side of the Chan Sect, not giving a second thought to us from the Jie Sect.

We have not yet settled this account with you.”

“Amitabha Buddha.”

South Sea Guanyin softly chanted the Buddha’s name, her expression slightly changing upon seeing the Immortal Exterminating Sword behind Shen Gongbao, yet she said nothing more, revealing a certain wariness towards his identity.

Even though Shen Gongbao was only of the Second Layer Heaven of Daluo, the Immortal Extinguishing Sword, as one of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, was also called the foremost lethal weapon of the Three Realms.

With the power of the Immortal Extinguishing Sword, Shen Gongbao could fearlessly confront anyone within the Third Layer Heaven of Daluo.

Even when facing those of the Fourth Layer Heaven of Daluo, he could stand unbeaten; in the battle that year at the Heavenly Court, his solitary contention against the Jade Emperor was solely due to the might of the Immortal Extinguishing Sword.

“The dispute over Daoist orthodoxy needs no further discussion.

If Daoist friend harbors resentment over past events, we may contend with one another after subduing this demon.”

South Sea Guanyin spoke with calm, as the Buddha’s Golden Bowl appeared before her, which made Shen Gongbao pause momentarily before sneering, “Buddha’s Golden Bowl?

It seems Duobao has indeed made a great sacrifice, fearing that you would fail to subdue this demon without lending you such a Spiritual Treasure.

Do you really think that with this artifact in hand, you can rival the Immortal Extinguishing Sword held by poor Dao?”

“Let the two Great Immortals calm their anger.

The Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court are but one family.

The priority here should still be to subdue this demon; let’s not harm the amicable relations,” Gold Star Taibai said with a flattery-filled smile, hurriedly trying to make peace.

“Hmph.”

Shen Gongbao coldly retorted, giving no face to Gold Star Taibai at all, his voice teasingly said, “Poor Dao is merely here to see how much Divine Skill this Kong Li possesses; I have no intention of making a move against him.

After all, Kong Li is the Five-Colored Peacock, with a profound connection to Peacock Great Ming King.

Although our Jie Sect does not fear this Peacock Great Ming King, there’s no necessity to offend him.”

As Shen Gongbao’s words settled, Gold Star Taibai could only respond with a bitter smile, while South Sea Guanyin’s expression turned an iron blue, looking at Shen Gongbao with a grim visage.

How could South Sea Guanyin not know that this matter would offend Peacock Great Ming King?

She truly did not wish to handle this mess, but who made the Buddha personally appoint her to come?

She had no choice.

Now, South Sea Guanyin only wanted to capture Kong Li, not harm his life, and take him back to the Western Lingshan for the Buddha to deal with, which would be the ultimate resolution.

“No…

no, this…

this……”

As South Sea Guanyin and Shen Gongbao confronted one another, the witch from Wushan’s complexion turned a bit pale.

Overlooking Heavenly Ridge from the void, her voice trembled slightly.

“Qingluan, what has happened?”

Qingluan was the real name of the witch from Wushan, who was of the Second Layer Heaven of Daluo and had been a good friend to South Sea Guanyin for many years.

Hearing the witch’s abnormal tone, South Sea Guanyin inquired with concern.

“Guanyin sister may not know, when I went to the Western Lingshan, my elder and second brothers had already arrived at Heavenly Ridge ahead of me.

If I’m not mistaken, they must have already fought a great battle with this Kong Li.

But now, with Heavenly Ridge so eerily quiet and no trace of my elder and second brothers, this situation is too peculiar,” the witch from Wushan said gravely, feeling a growing unease in her heart.

Hearing the witch’s words, South Sea Guanyin slightly started, confusion also appearing in her eyes.

Indeed, the Elder Ancestor of the Ying Dragon and the Freak of the Jishan, although Great Demons of the Lower Realm, were not nameless entities in the Three Realms; they were Demon Kings of the Daluo Realm.

Even Immortals, Buddhas, and Gods would give them some respect.

But why were they nowhere to be seen at this moment?

Naturally, South Sea Guanyin was unaware that the two Daluo Demon Kings had long since perished, their souls scattered, and all of their Cultivation Dao Fruit had been swallowed by Ye Xuan.

“Qingluan sister, there is no need to worry.

I have come bearing the Buddha’s Golden Bowl.

Even if Kong Li’s Five-Colored Divine Light is exceedingly formidable, it cannot possibly stand against the Buddha’s Golden Bowl,” South Sea Guanyin reassured.

“Please, Sister Guanyin, take action and subdue Kong Li,” the witch from Wushan implored, pushing down her anxious feelings and bowing to South Sea Guanyin.

South Sea Guanyin nodded with a smile, undaunted by Kong Li; after all, she was of the Third Layer Heaven of Daluo, and this time she had brought the Buddha’s Golden Bowl, surely enough to subdue the demon.

“Om Mani Padme Hum!”

South Sea Guanyin chanted the Buddha’s name, as Buddha Light enveloped the sky and the Buddha’s Golden Bowl expanded in the breeze, instantly covering thousands of miles of Heaven and Earth, while the grandeur of the Buddhist law reverberated across the land.
