Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 239 The Invisible Hand

"Dong Dong Dong~" Haotian's fingers tapped on the armrests of the Emperor's throne in the Lingxiao Palace.

“Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? It was the disciples of the Western Sect who took the three-headed dragon away?” Haotian asked for confirmation for the third time.

"Your Majesty, we are definitely not mistaken. They are indeed disciples of the Western Religion." said Bian Zhuang, the Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator who led the team.

Haotian nodded and said nothing more. He lightly changed the topic and began to discuss other matters with the immortals in heaven.

After the court was dismissed, Haotian returned to his palace, with only Taibai Jinxing, his close minister, following him.

"Swish~" As soon as he entered the door, Haotian turned into a desktop cleaning master.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Calm down? How can I calm down? What a Western religion! I was wondering why someone's magic power could appear silently in the High Heaven Palace, and why the Clear Sky Mirror couldn't track the three-headed dragon. It turns out that the saint of the Western religion took action."

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words! Western religions have saints, we..."

"So what if he's a saint? The saints of the Western religion don't have the merits of creating the world, and are suppressed by the primitive heaven and earth. As the Emperor of Heaven, I might be able to fight with the power of the primitive heaven and earth."

"But Your Majesty, there are two saints in the Western Religion! Even if you can defeat the Saint Zhunti, what about the Saint Jieyin?"

Haotian was silent.

“Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this matter should not be made public. It is abominable that the Western religion openly challenged the majesty of our Heavenly Court. However, if our Heavenly Court makes this matter public, it will only make the prehistoric creatures think that our Heavenly Court is afraid of the Western religion, which will do us no good but only harm.

Why not suppress this matter for now, and if there is a chance later, we can kill the three-headed dragon, and we can even find the right time to retaliate against the Western Church, but we must not be impulsive at this moment!"

After hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, the Jade Emperor sighed deeply. With a wave of his hand, the things that had just been cleaned up were restored to their original state.

"Your Majesty, we should expand the strength of our Heavenly Court as soon as possible. I think Bian Zhuang is a good person. He has heard the teachings of the Great Purity Saint. The nine-toothed rake in his hand was also made by the Great Purity Saint. He is considered to be half a disciple of the Great Purity Saint. He has come to our Heavenly Court. Your Majesty can entrust him with important tasks. It would be best if you can give him a position of god that can recruit soldiers and horses.

By then, Bian Zhuang will be able to win over other Taoists on his own. If he can call in a few more monks who have heard the teachings of Saint Taiqing, the strength of our Heavenly Court will also increase.

My Heavenly Court has become more powerful, so are we still afraid of not finding an opportunity to retaliate against the Western Religion?"

After hearing what Taibai Jinxing said, the Jade Emperor's eyes lit up: "My dear minister, what you said is quite in line with my heart. Let's do as you say! Appoint Bian Zhuang as the Marshal of Tianpeng and command the 100,000 naval forces of Tianhe."

"Your Majesty is wise."

At the same time, in a big city in the west, Empress Pingxin had been eating, drinking and having fun for more than a year, and finally decided to get down to business.

Recently, Empress Pingxin often hears Sanskrit sounds ringing in her ears. These Sanskrit sounds have the effect of bewitching people's hearts and are effective for cultivators below the Golden Immortal level.

So Empress Pingxin simply took advantage of the situation and pretended to be brainwashed by Sanskrit, and followed other believers in the big city to the Western religion's missionary place.

When the Western religious disciples in the preaching area saw Niangniang Pingxin coming, they were delighted.

The Western sect disciples in this city had long noticed Niangniang Pingxin. This person's cultivation was at the true immortal realm, which made her particularly special in a town populated by mostly mortals.

After observing Niangniang Pingxin for several months, the disciples of the Western Religion confirmed that she should be a disciple of a Taoist sect, because the fluctuations of magical power around her were calm and easy-going, which was quite consistent with the inaction of Saint Taiqing.

This kind of person is the most loved by the Western religion. If they can convert Niangniang Pingxin, they can use her to influence their sect. If they cannot convert the monks of an entire sect to their Western religion, it will definitely be a great achievement!

However, what the Western religion disciples did not expect was that after finally using Sanskrit to trick people into coming to the preaching place, the woman was unmoved and it seemed that the Western religion had no influence on her.

She got up and left halfway through listening.

Empress Pingxin was well aware of the principle of playing the long game to catch the big fish, so after she left the place where she preached, she looked terrified and flew away without hesitation.

The Western sect disciple who was in charge of monitoring Niangniang Pingxin immediately reported to his superiors.

Soon, Ksitigarbha, the direct disciple of the Two Western Saints in Mount Sumeru, learned about this.

"The Taoist disciple who was able to break free from my Western Sect of Fanyin is indeed a talent. Di Ting, come with me to capture him!"

"Yes, master." Di Ting responded and flew out of Mount Sumeru carrying Dizang.

Empress Pingxin pretended to be only a true immortal, so her flying speed naturally could not be very fast, and she was soon caught up by Dizang.

When Dizang saw the calm and easy-going magical power in Niangniang Pingxin's body, he nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, he also understood why this female cultivator was able to break free from the shackles of his Western Buddhist Sanskrit sounds with her true immortal cultivation.

It is no exaggeration to say that this female cultivator has already comprehended the true meaning of the Taiqing Magic. If she is given some time, there will be absolutely no problem for her to become a Golden Immortal. There will not even be any bottleneck before reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal.

This time we have really found a treasure. Such talents must be brought into the Buddhist kingdom and allowed to be saved by the saint's Sanskrit voice.

Thinking of this, Dizang did not hesitate and took action directly.

The magical power of the Golden Immortal Daluo turned into a giant hand and grabbed Empress Pingxin who was pretending to flee in panic.

Then he flew back to Mount Sumeru.

After returning to Mount Sumeru, Dizang immediately went to meet the two saints, explained the matter to them, and released the female cultivator who was transformed by Niangniang Pingxin.

Niangniang Pingxin, who was pretending to be unconscious, could clearly feel Zhunti's consciousness repeatedly scanning her body.

After a while, Zhunti said, "Brother, I have checked and there is nothing abnormal about this female cultivator. Her life experience is also very clear.

She is a direct disciple of an acquired being who had heard Senior Brother Taiqing's teachings. She has had amazing talent since she was young, and she reached the level of a True Immortal when she was only over 4000 years old. This time, she went out to travel in search of an opportunity to break through to the level of a Mysterious Immortal."

"She came to my Western Religion while traveling. In this case, she has a destiny with my Western Religion." After saying this, Jie Yin waved his hand, and the figure of Niangniang Pingxin disappeared.

Empress Pingxin only felt that the space around her changed. When she opened her eyes, she found that she had come to a small world.

This small world is full of cultivators. Empress Pingxin took a quick look and saw that they started as celestial immortals, and the five golden immortals in the middle had the highest cultivation levels.

These people all sat cross-legged with solemn expressions, and a look of compassion would appear on their faces from time to time.

Just as Empress Pingxin was wondering why they had such expressions, suddenly a bright sun rose in the sky, dazzling Empress Pingxin so much that she could hardly open her eyes.

When the light faded away, Niangniang Pingxin discovered that what appeared was not the sun, but the Dharma image of guidance.

The image of the Buddha clasped his hands together, with a compassionate look on his face, and muttered something. The next second, the ethereal sound of Sanskrit resounded throughout the small world.

Empress Pingxin could not help but frown. The Sanskrit sound was really unpleasant to her. She subconsciously used her magic power to block out the Sanskrit sound.

But she soon remembered the purpose of her trip and did nothing.

But even if these Sanskrit sounds were not blocked, they would not affect Niangniang Pingxin at all.

Because Niangniang Pingxin is the form that is manifested by the fusion of the Great Way of Samsara and the reincarnation mark of Niangniang Houtu, let alone the Dharma image of Jie Yin, even if Jie Yin himself came, these Sanskrit sounds would not affect Niangniang Pingxin.

Besides, there is a twelfth-grade white lotus of creation in Empress Pingxin’s sea of consciousness.

The white lotus was emitting a bright white light, dispelling the influence of the Sanskrit sound on Niangniang Pingxin.

The Sanskrit chanting lasted for about two hours. When it ended, the image of the guide also disappeared.

Seeing this, Empress Pingxin seized the opportunity and came to the sides of several Golden Immortals in the center.

With a quick sweep of her spiritual sense, she confirmed the lineage of these people. They were all just like the identities she had disguised themselves as, acquired beings who had listened to the teachings of Taiqing Laozi.

Niangniang Pingxin had a thought, and the Avenue of Reincarnation appeared. In the blink of an eye, she replaced several people and sent them to the twelfth-grade white lotus of creation, leaving behind the residual images of the previous Avenue of Reincarnation.

After that, Empress Pingxin did not take any other action and pretended to be brainwashed by Fanyin every day.

And so nine years passed.

All the monks in this Buddhist country were guided and transferred to the small world opened up by the two saints in the West.

In the center of this small world is a forty-nine-story pagoda, and below the pagoda are countless souls.

Empress Pingxin's eyes lit up, thinking that she had found the real culprit.

On the other hand, in nine years, Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou also gave birth to their own children, two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Yang Jiao was brave and extraordinary, the second son Yang Jian was extremely intelligent, and the youngest daughter Yang Chan was well-behaved and cute.

Although the family's life is ordinary, it is full of the flavor of life.

However, Yao Chi did not know that after her young daughter Yang Chan turned three years old, the mysterious magic power surrounding her body quietly dissipated.

In the Yingzhou Fairy Island, Bai Jing, who had been paying attention to Yao Ji, sensed Yao Ji's situation at the first moment.

Bai Jing's expression became serious. "This Yao Ji has actually married Yang Tianyou and had a child? I wonder who covered up the secret of Yao Ji, and I didn't even notice it."

"Master, what happened?" Yun Xiao, who was listening to Bai Jing's sermon, asked tentatively.

"Something unexpected did happen. Yu Ding, go to Guanjiangkou. Your destined disciple Yang Jian is there."

Yu Ding's eyes lit up when he heard this. Some time ago, when Yu Ding returned from his travels and saw that his senior brother had accepted Yuan Hong as a disciple, he also wanted to take in a disciple.

Now that his destined disciple had appeared, Yu Ding was naturally very happy. He agreed without even thinking twice.

Bai Jing nodded and continued, "Yu Ding, your mission on this trip is not just to accept Yang Jian as your apprentice. Yang Jian's father is doomed to die, and you are to secretly collect his soul and bring it back to Yingzhou Fairy Island.

You don't need to worry too much about his mother, brother, and sister. They have their own fate. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Master. Don't worry, I will definitely bring back the souls of Yang Jian and his father."

"Well, then go ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding bowed to Bai Jing and disappeared.

At the same time, in the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was practicing, slowly opened his eyes.

He just had a feeling in his heart, sensing that a person with great luck was born in Guanjiangkou.

Yuanshi Tianzun counted with his fingers, but the destiny was chaotic and his calculation was not clear. He could only vaguely calculate that the person with this good fortune was half human and half god.

Yuanshi Tianzun directly summoned Qing Lianzi.

This green lotus seed was created when the Taoist Ancestor transformed a twelve-grade green lotus of creation. Yuanshi Tianzun loved it very much. A person with such good fortune would definitely be recruited into the Chan Sect.

Among his disciples, the first person Yuanshi Tianzun thought of was Qing Lianzi. It was most appropriate to let Qing Lianzi accept him as his disciple.

Yuanshi Tianzun explained the whole story to Qinglianzi, and asked Qinglianzi to go to Guanjiangkou to find the half-human, half-god person with great luck.

At this time, a mysterious magical power emerged again in the Lingxiao Palace. This magical power circled above the Lingxiao Palace and finally landed on the forehead of the barefoot immortal.

The barefoot immortal's eyes became blurry for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Then he suddenly stood up, bowed to Haotian and said, "Your Majesty, I just learned that Princess Yaoji, disregarding the rules of heaven, secretly came down to earth, married a mortal, and has given birth to two sons and a daughter!"

This sudden report was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, exploding in the heavenly palace. All the gods were shocked, and their eyes turned to Haotian who was sitting on the high seat.

Haotian's face turned pale in an instant, flames of anger burned in his eyes, and his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the Emperor's throne, with veins bulging.

As Haotian's confidant, Taibai Jinxing naturally understood what Haotian was thinking. Haotian's anger was due to the fact that the barefoot immortal made a report without considering the venue and at an inappropriate time. This matter should have been discussed with the Jade Emperor in private. Instead of bringing this matter to light during the meeting in the Lingxiao Palace, didn't this embarrass His Majesty the Jade Emperor?

The second reason is naturally because Yao Ji, the beloved younger sister, actually violated the Heavenly Rules and secretly married a mortal when the new Heavenly Rules were just announced. It was really abominable!

Of course, although he was angry, Haotian never thought of doing anything to Yao Ji. He snorted coldly and said, "Barefoot Immortal, do you have any real evidence in your report? It is a serious crime to slander the Princess of Heaven!"

Haotian felt that his hint was already very clear. The barefoot immortal was an old minister of the Heavenly Court, and he should be able to understand his hint.

But what Haotian didn't expect was that the barefoot immortal was unmoved. He cupped his hands and said, "Every word this old minister said is true. Your Majesty can tell with the Haotian Mirror."

Haotian had already realized that something was wrong. The barefoot immortal was obviously not an unreasonable person. Could it be that his mind had been occupied by someone?

Thinking of this, Haotian winked at Taibai Jinxing, who immediately sent a message to Zhao Gongming, with whom he had the best relationship, asking Zhao Gongming to help investigate.

Zhao Gongming agreed immediately. He stepped forward and angrily shouted, "How dare you, you daring monster, run wild in the Heavenly Palace!"

After saying this, Zhao Gongming sacrificed twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls to cover the barefoot immortal.
