Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 834 The Monk Wukong
"Changqing, this is the place."

Zhong Li and Li Rui arrived together at the largest cultivator city in the outer heaven cloud sea.

There are five Dao Lords guarding this place.

It is the main base of cultivators from beyond the heavens.

It is also the location of the council of elders.

The cultivators of the Outer Heavens had also experienced several great calamities, but in the end, all of them came to an end in front of this city, which was the true mountain of the cultivators.

Many cultivators even come to this city just to pay homage to the legacy of their predecessors.

Li Rui looked up at the huge plaza, entirely made of white jade, where crowds thronged. Such a scene was rare in the Outer Heavens.

His expression changed slightly.

This square is called Shenguangtan.

It is a place where cultivators from beyond the heavens exchange resources after they have gained merit from slaying extraterrestrial demons.

Therefore, it was extremely lively.

You could almost say that.

If it weren't for the Divine Light Altar, the cultivators of the Outer Heavens would be no different from the exiled refugees in the Immortal Dynasty. But it is precisely because of the Divine Light Altar that some cultivators are willing to come to the Outer Heavens to seek their fortune.

The world is bustling with activity, all driven by profit.

Li Rui and Zhong Li came to Shenguang Altar precisely for the purpose of receiving rewards.

Over the years, the two of them have killed many extraterrestrial demons and accumulated a lot of merit. They took advantage of the recent peace and tranquility of the extraterrestrial demons outside Tianhuan City to come here.

Li Rui's gaze fell upon a stone tablet on the Divine Light Altar that was a hundred feet tall.

It is a monument to merit.

The names on it are all those who have gained a great deal of merit by slaying extraterrestrial demons. Regardless of their cultivation level, they are all listed together to encourage cultivators in the outer heavens to bravely slay demons.

The names of Zhong Li and Li Rui are both on it.

Zhong Li was in the upper-middle position, while Li Rui was in the lower position, and there were even several people with the title of Nascent Soul Realm above him.

And at the very top.

Besides Ye Jiuzhou and his group, there was one person whose name stood out.

Bailian Daojun.

Ranked in the top five.

It should be noted that his name even surpasses that of renowned cultivators such as Daojun Shuangquan.

Without him.

It's not that they're exceptionally strong, but rather that they're too diligent.

Ever since arriving in the Outer Heavens, Dao Lord Bailian has always been someone who hates evil and personally kills demons. He even worked harder after breaking through to the Dao Lord level.

It will be fine in a day or two.

But the Hundred Refinements Dao Lord has been killing for decades, which is truly admirable.

Nowadays, who in the Outer Heavens doesn't know the illustrious name of the Hundred Refinements Dao Lord?

"Could it be that he/she has changed his/her nature?"

Li Rui gazed at the name of the Hundred Refinements Dao Lord, lost in thought.

The two were both members of the Three Lives Daoist Altar, so they were naturally quite familiar with each other. In his opinion, Daoist Bailian had always preferred quiet and was not a chivalrous person who liked to slay demons and monsters. In fact, he was quite selfish. It was because he knew him that he was surprised.

Look back.

Li Rui and Zhong Li then walked into the square.

"Golden Phoenix Wings, Myriad Shade Wood"

Along the way, Li Rui really saw a lot of good things.

The Divine Light Altar looked like a celestial market, with numerous cultivators setting up stalls in the square, displaying countless rare and precious materials, some of which even tempted Li Rui.

"It is said that the Elders Council persuaded the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord, which led to the establishment of the Divine Light Altar. Initially, it was mostly officials and merchants from the Heavenly Mystery Clan. These cultivators gathered later. If it was a transaction based on merit, the Elders Council would provide subsidies. Gradually, it became even more lively than the grand market of the Divine Void Immortal Dynasty."

"Many cultivators have come here specifically to search for treasures."

Zhongli spoke eloquently.

Although he had never been to the Shenguang Altar before, he was very familiar with the things there.

While the two were talking.

A sudden commotion arose in the crowd.

One person shouted, "It's the Hundred Refinements Dao Lord!"

Look up.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe gracefully landed on the altar of divine light.

It was none other than the Hundred Refinements Dao Lord.

Just as they landed, a long, cheerful voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist Bailian, come inside for a chat."

The sound came from the main hall at the very center of the altar. No doubt about it.

Naturally, it is the Dao Lord of the Elders' Council.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Xuanfeng."

Daoist Bailian chuckled and stepped into the main hall.

Li Rui stood in the crowd.

He had no intention of going up to say hello.

Previously, both of them were True Lords and could still talk at the same table. But now that Hundred Refinement Dao Lord has become a Dao Lord, they are now worlds apart and no longer on the same path.

He could sense that Daoist Bailian had also noticed him earlier.

Daojun Bailian had no intention of acknowledging her.

It's not that the world is cold-hearted; this is just how the cultivation world is supposed to be.

A brief interlude.

Li Rui and Zhong Li walked and stopped frequently in the Shenguang Altar, staying there for two whole days.

Each of them exhausted all their merits.

Li Rui used his merits to buy a lot of elixirs, and returned home with a full load.

Zhongli bought an ancient book, which contained the supernatural powers of ancient Confucianism.

Just as the two were about to leave.

Suddenly——

A battle raged in the void.

"Monster, where are you going?"

An old monk transformed into a divine rainbow, wielding a golden pestle, and smashed it towards a young man in the Divine Light Altar.

The golden pestle has not yet arrived.

The young man let out a shrill howl, and a cloud of black smoke rose up.

"Extraterritorial Demon!"

The cultivators beside the young man all paled upon seeing this scene.

They all recognized that the young man was the transformed form of an extraterrestrial demon.

For a while.

They attacked him en masse.

In just a few breaths, the young man who had transformed from the extraterrestrial demon was engulfed by the immortal light and finally ground to ashes by the supernatural powers of the cultivators on the Divine Light Altar.

Li Rui and Zhong Li both witnessed this scene.

Zhong Li: "The extraterrestrial demons are good at bewitching. Once your mind is corrupted by them, your soul will be completely taken over, and you will be no different from a normal person. They can hide among cultivators, and even Dao Lords will not easily detect them."

Therefore, there is a group of cultivators in the Outer Heavens who are specifically hiding in the city to search for cultivators whose souls have been taken away by the extraterrestrial demons.

Kill it.

Li Rui: "The methods of the extraterrestrial demons are truly bizarre."

Even he was deceived just now.

As for how the old monk noticed it, he must have used some special method.

The two were just about to continue out of the city.

But then they saw the old monk who had just brandished the golden pestle appear not far away.

The old monk smiled politely and said, "You two must be Master Zhong and Fellow Daoist Changqing."

The old monk recognized his identity.

Neither Li Rui nor Zhong Li were particularly surprised.

Zhong Li bowed meticulously: "Greetings, Master Wukong."

This monk Wukong was a high-ranking monk from Wanfo Prefecture, whose Buddhist teachings were profound and who was quite famous even in the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty.

Li Rui sized up the old monk.

The fact that Monk Wukong was able to see through the hidden demons from beyond the realm must be inseparable from the Buddhist methods he employed.

'The methods of Buddhism are truly profound.'

For thousands of years, Buddhism has held the view that there is a fifth supreme being.

It is unclear whether the Buddhist sect is stronger or weaker than the Divine Void Immortal Dynasty and the Three Pure Ones Sect, but its rapid progress and widespread propagation across the fourteen states in recent years are undeniable.

Zhongli asked, "I wonder what business Master has with me and Changqing?"

The old monk put his hands together in prayer and chanted "Amitabha."
"This old monk wishes to invite you two benefactors to go to the Sea of ​​Evil Demons together."
