Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Surrounded by celestial light, with golden bricks and jade tiles, the palace, adorned with scrolls and scriptures, radiates divine brilliance. Aside from its smaller size, it is virtually identical to the Lingxiao Palace!

Wow…

The pages of the book were turned again.

Large swaths of scripture appeared in the sky, eventually transforming into the sound of Tao, spreading throughout heaven and earth.

"My disciple, the road ahead is long, don't panic."

The voice was ethereal, indistinguishable between male and female, calm and undisturbed, yet resounded throughout the heavens!
Like the gentle flow of spring water, the cold light is sharp, dispelling all the gloom!
This immediately calmed the previously anxious disciples of the dojo!
It’s Master’s voice!

The crowd was filled with excitement.

"Please, Master, impart the Dharma!"

Thunder roared, and intense light surrounded him as Ying Zheng let out an excited roar in the center of the Southern Continent.

"Please listen to what your teacher has to say."

As the pages turned, scriptures reappeared, transforming into the sounds of Tao.

Ying Zheng immediately sat cross-legged in the void, his expression respectful and focused, listening to his master's teachings and comprehending the Dharma he was transmitting!
Upon seeing this, the eyes of the three human emperors, including the Yellow Emperor, immediately shone brightly!
Although we do not know why Ying Zheng returned to his peak, nor do we know what this book is, the mastermind behind it all.

But they understood that this book might help Ying Zheng achieve enlightenment!
The Three Sovereigns' thoughts hadn't even settled!

From the distant borders of the Great Tang Dynasty, a magnificent rainbow appeared, like lightning piercing the sky and cutting through the universe!

A woman of unparalleled beauty, her red dress fluttering in the wind, her long black hair dancing in the breeze.

She wore a ghost mask and held a demon-devouring jar in her hand!

Standing tall to the east of Qin Shi Huang, his voice, like thunder, shook the entire world!
"Senior Sister of the Heavenly Daoist Temple!"

"Coming to protect the way!"

"Where are we, the disciples of this monastery, now?!"

Immediately, the boundless void exploded, forming terrifying fissures that led nowhere!

Boom!

The Golden-Winged Roc King unleashed the Kunpeng Speed, wielding the Spear of Tranquility as he shattered the sky, his body radiating an immortal, otherworldly aura, with towering waves of laws and golden light tearing through the heavens!
His eyes shone brightly, fixed on the west, twisting and spreading magical power, his golden hair fluttering, and his robe sleeves rustling!
"Hahaha!"

"At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme over the world; with my Great Roc, there is heaven!"

"Great Peng, a disciple of the Zhutian Daoist Temple, has come to protect our senior brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in silver armor silently appeared in the void, standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming.

He was covered in blood, his armor was torn, but his flesh was still crystalline. As his body revived, his tattered silver armor shook violently, unleashing a monstrous demonic aura!
"The Ninth of the Heavens is here to protect our eldest brother!"

A third figure appeared from the sky!

The light was intense!

The young man was tall and straight, his silver armor gleaming.

The visitor was none other than the Nine-Headed Insect!
He adopted the alias 'Ninth of the Heavens'!
The nine-headed insect, head held high and expressionless, stood in the south, gazing towards the heavens, and proclaimed in a loud voice.

"A lifetime of cultivation."

"Although I am not as good as my senior brothers and sisters, if anyone tries to hinder my enlightenment, they should first ask if I will allow it!"

Boom!

As soon as the Nine-Headed Insect finished speaking, demonic energy surged forth!

In an instant, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds!
That was an incredibly dense, primordial dark energy!
Immediately afterwards, another figure appeared—it was the Six-Eared Macaque!
"What Heavenly Court? What Six Paths of Reincarnation? Before Master, no one is invincible!"

A figure stepped out, piercing through the void and arriving at this place!

In this dense demonic aura, the Six-Eared Macaque's figure was almost indistinguishable, only a silhouette could be seen, tall and robust!
He was covered in immortal demonic armor, standing on the platform where he was to be worshipped, his body radiating intense light!
His eyes were dazzling, like two blazing suns in the darkness, blinding and terrifying!
The six-eared macaque finally landed in the north, its body creating ripples in the surrounding air!

"If the sky oppresses me, I will split the sky open; if the earth obstructs me, I will shatter the earth!"

"Disciples of the Heavenly Daoist Temple are here! Mud Monkey has come to protect our Senior Brother!" Four figures!

Descending from the heavens!
Each one of them was imposing and radiant, exuding boundless power!

The four of them stood around Ying Zheng, their bodies shimmering with light and intricate patterns, appearing below the Lingxiao Palace formed from scriptures in the sky!
Three of them, in particular, shook the entire Three Realms!

Those were the three figures who had once stormed Mount Ling!

"As expected!! They're here too!!"

"As expected, it was all orchestrated by a mastermind behind the scenes!"

Witnessing this scene, countless powerful figures in the Three Realms had their pupils contract as they stared intently at the Queen of Xiliang and the other two, their hearts filled with indescribable shock.

The appearance of these people not only alarmed all parties in the Three Realms, but also surprised the three ancestors of the human race in the far distance.

These... are all Ying Zheng's junior brothers and sisters?!
The three ancestors of the human race all wore strange expressions!
How can there be so many outstanding talents?
Moreover, there are non-human beings among them, so why are they here?
But what shocked the three ancestors of the human race and even the Three Realms was far more than this.

As these four figures appeared, more than ten streaks of light shot into the sky across the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty!

"Hahaha! How could I miss out on such a lively event?"

"I was originally a tree in the mountains. I was once guided by my senior brother to become a disciple of our master. How could I be absent today?" The Black Mountain Demon laughed and rode the black clouds into the sky.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Paramita Emptiness!"

"The Buddha is here! Who dares to harm my senior brother!" Fahai chanted the Buddha's name and descended with his staff in hand!

"Awoo... I, the Emperor, have been ordered by my Master to come and guard the gate for my eldest brother... no, to protect the Dharma!"

"Hahaha! I, Zhuliu, am here. Which of these Heavenly Court brats dares to step out of the South Heavenly Gate and fight me?"

In the end, even the Celestial Hound and Old Goulong arrived!
Streams of light shot into the sky and landed beside Ying Zheng, standing solemnly!

In an instant, the magical power surged, as if it had transformed into a tangible ocean, followed by towering waves that crashed in all directions!

Upon witnessing this scene, countless onlookers across the Three Realms were shocked and utterly horrified!

How is this going?

How could the mastermind behind this have so many disciples?

Most importantly, it seems that each of them is extremely unusual?

"What...what's going on?!" In the Heavenly Court, many gods gasped in astonishment!

Although they knew the mastermind behind the scenes was extraordinary, they never expected that the other party would have so many subordinates!

Even the Celestial Hound is coming here without fear of death?

Even the three ancestors of the human race were astonished when they witnessed this scene!

what happened?

How could Ying Zheng suddenly have so many helpers?!

Although some of them may not be top-tier in terms of cultivation, they are undoubtedly all peerless geniuses in terms of age and talent!

And...it seems there are even some outstanding talents among the human race?!
While the three ancestors of the human race were still in shock, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stepped forward first!

"At the end of the sacred path, who stands at the peak? Upon seeing the senior, all paths to enlightenment vanish!"

"I asked three questions at the temple years ago, and I was fortunate to receive guidance from my senior!"

"Today we shall repay this debt of gratitude! Anyone who dares to harm this senior disciple shall first fight against me, the Great Emperor Ksitigarbha!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, his robes fluttering, came straight to Ying Zheng, his imposing aura sweeping in all directions!
With a flick of his sleeves, a surge of evil energy erupted, unleashing his cultivation at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

The sky cracked and space collapsed!
Ksitigarbha stood firm in place, like an ancient and eerie mountain, possessing unfathomable and immense power, reaching the pinnacle of strength!

"At the end of the holy road, who stands at the peak?" (End of Chapter)
