Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

With this palm strike, it seemed as if the heavens themselves were about to be overturned, colliding violently with the earth, resulting in the destruction of both heaven and earth.

The giant golden hand could be seen within a radius of ten miles.

Upon witnessing Li Xiuyuan's ultimate move, Qingwei was greatly alarmed. His fellow disciples exclaimed in unison, "This is bad! This man's power is beyond our imagination. We must join forces to defend against him!"

Chapter 207 The Prosperous Buddhist Sect

Upon seeing Li Xiuyuan's ultimate move, Qingwei was greatly alarmed. His fellow disciples shouted in unison, "This is bad! This person's strength is beyond our imagination. We must join forces to defend against him!"

After saying that, Qingwei, Canggu, Jingming, Youxuan, and Heyang all attacked at the same time. They held longswords in their hands, made sword gestures with their right hands, and launched their attacks simultaneously.

Wan Jian Jue!

Sword beams rained down in the air as the five people simultaneously unleashed the Shu Mountain Sect's unique Ten Thousand Swords Technique. There were more than ten million sword energies; the originally formless sword energy seemed to radiate a dazzling light.

Rumble!

After Li Xiuyuan unleashed his Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal, he almost completely obliterated the sword energy of the five people. They had seriously underestimated Li Xiuyuan; if they had focused on defense, they might have suffered less damage.

The five men saw that the swastika on the giant golden hand was moving with undiminished speed, while their rain of swords seemed to be like eggs hitting a rock.

By this time, it was too late for the group to leave. The swastika slammed down, and the five people fell to the ground.

A deafening roar followed, and the area within several miles of the mountain was razed to the ground. The sight of Qingwei and his fellow disciples lying on the ground in a wretched state was clearly visible to everyone.

All five men had broken ribs. If Li Xiuyuan hadn't withdrawn some of his power at the crucial moment, a single strike would have killed them.

These people are, after all, highly skilled disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect. If Li Xiuyuan really kills them, I'm afraid it won't be long before someone comes over!

At that point, Li Xiuyuan would have no choice but to seek help from Buddhism. However, his cultivation had not yet fully recovered to the level of the original Dragon Subduer, and he feared that the people in Mount Ling would see through his disguise.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan held back halfway. He looked at the five people on the ground and said coldly, "Amitabha! You guys didn't listen to my advice and insisted on fighting. Now that you're missing arms and legs, don't blame me."

puff!

Upon hearing this, everyone was so angry that they spat out blood again. The difference between them was too great; Li Xiuyuan had completely overwhelmed them.

Li Xiuyuan paused and then said, "This humble monk is Daoji, also known as the Dragon-Subduing Venerable. Considering that you are all disciples of the sage, I will let you go today."

As he spoke, a fan appeared in his hand, and he said coldly, "You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment!"

After he finished speaking, the fan in his hand moved. This fan contained the wind of the heavens, and with a single wave, it seemed to carry invincible power, actually blowing their figures away.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up into a slight smile. This Wind Spirit Fan was not as powerful as Princess Iron Fan's Banana Leaf Fan, but with a single wave, it sent several people flying dozens of miles away, at least they wouldn't be in his way anymore.

Everyone was stunned by the scene, but Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's alright, I didn't kill them, I just told a few of them to get lost."

As he spoke, he put away the Wind Spirit Fan, which was currently his most suitable magical artifact.

Bodhidharma nodded upon seeing this and said, "Master, I suppose those from the Shu Mountain Sect who have passed through this will no longer dare to come to the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but admire himself. The power of the Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he also had his own technique.

"I must practice diligently from now on," Bodhidharma thought to himself.

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and replied, "Of course."

The power of the Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal did not disappoint Li Xiuyuan. At this moment, he had entered the Celestial Immortal realm, and was not much weaker than the former Dragon-Subduing Venerable.

The Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal is incredibly powerful. He didn't spend too much time learning this seal technique because he had the memories of the Dragon Subduer, which made learning it much faster.

Otherwise, this supernatural ability alone would have been enough for Li Xiuyuan to ponder for several years.

However, Li Xiuyuan was somewhat disappointed, because the power of the Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal could be increased considerably, but he lacked a powerful magic weapon to use it simultaneously.

Li Xiuyuan remembered Guang Chengzi's Heaven-Turning Seal, which was truly powerful. Even without any special hand seal techniques, simply unleashing the magic weapon was probably a notch stronger than the Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal that he had painstakingly used.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan wanted to exchange for a magic weapon like the Fantian Seal. However, he needed at least 500000 merit points. He had used up all his merit points and sin points, leaving him with only two or three hundred thousand. He would have to wait a few more years.

Meanwhile, Qingwei and his companions, looking at their own severe injuries, felt incredibly bitter. Had they known that the other party was the Dragon-Subduing Venerable, they would never have gone forward to invite such suffering.

The status of the Venerable Dragon Subduer in Buddhism is not weak, except for those Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Vidyarajas. Although they have strong allies, they are far inferior to those in Buddhism.

Moreover, Buddhism was flourishing at this time, and people from various sects and lineages tried their best to avoid conflicts with them.

Cang Gu smiled bitterly, "Senior brother, that monk's magic power is very strong. We can only leave after we recover from our injuries."

As he spoke, his face flushed red. All his efforts over the years had gone up in flames. He felt very unwilling, but who could argue with someone who was more capable?

After listening to his junior brother's words, Qingwei nodded and replied, "Yes! I have no choice but to leave."

Even if they could summon a sect leader, perhaps comparable to the Dragon Subduer, that person's backing seems even stronger. In the absence of a sage, Buddhism is practically the only dominant force.

The people of the Shushan Sect usually keep their distance from Buddhists.

Come to think of it, the lineage of the sages originally included the Tongtian Sect Master as the most powerful, followed by the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuanshi Tianzun, but after the Investiture of the Gods...

Zhunti Ferry's three thousand monks and guests even dug up many corners of the Jade Void Palace, and the power of Buddhism grew rapidly. Just at this time, the sage was imprisoned by the Lord of Honggou and could not set foot in the prehistoric world.

At most, they can only send out clones, while there are three quasi-saints in Buddhism. Which sect can compare?

Chapter 208 Dinghai Divine Pearl

Meanwhile, Li Xiuyuan watched Bodhidharma leave. He needed to return to Shaolin Temple, as the abbot was very busy. At this time, Shaolin Temple still had many distinctions from later generations.

For example, the Arhat Hall, Bodhidharma Academy, and so on were not yet distinguished. The vast Shaolin Temple was basically managed by Bodhidharma.

However, Bodhidharma was also somewhat troubled by this situation and prepared to carry out reforms. At the same time, he created many martial arts techniques and planned to spread them widely.

The Mahavairocana Sutra, which Bodhidharma practiced, is not something everyone can learn. Among the tens of millions of people in the secular world, only a few dozen have the talent for cultivation.

Therefore, those who have practiced for a long time without any results will naturally lose hope in Shaolin Temple. So, some ordinary kung fu methods are needed so that everyone can practice, as long as their talent is not too bad.

Those who train at the Shaolin Temple possess skills far superior to those of ordinary people, naturally attracting many students.

On this day, Li Xiuyuan looked at Shi Feixuan and Shang Xiufang and said in a deep voice, "Xiufang, if you want to come with me, you'd better prepare yourself in advance!"

As he spoke, he took out the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl from his hand.

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiufang smiled and said, "Yes, yes! I've prepared everything."

Having said that, she was very happy and looked at Shi Feixuan beside her with a sense of pride.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded and unleashed the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, completely enveloping Shang Xiufang and instantly absorbing her into it.

Shi Feixuan only saw a flash of white light, and Shang Xiufang had already disappeared. She exclaimed in surprise, "Venerable One, where is Senior Sister Xiufang?"

As she spoke, she was very curious, but at the same time, she felt a little down because Shang Xiufang was able to leave with Li Xiuyuan.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Xiufang, she will spend most of her time inside my Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in the future."

He paused and then said, "Feixuan, this humble monk asks if you would like to follow me and stay in this small world forever, or help me do things outside."

After saying that, he stared intently at Shi Feixuan, waiting for her reply.

After a long silence, Shi Feixuan replied, "Your Excellency, Feixuan wishes to stay in the Tang Dynasty and serve you."

As she spoke, she had already made up her mind.

Simply put, following Li Xiuyuan to leave and staying in the Tang Dynasty are two completely different things.

Although Li Xiuyuan didn't spell it out clearly when he spoke, that was basically what he meant, and Shi Feixuan could understand it.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he nodded in response, "Mm!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Shi Feixuan's slender waist, stroked her dark hair, and let her alluring fragrance fill his nostrils.

Huh!

Shi Feixuan fell into his arms. Her ambition lay in pursuing the Dao, and she was naturally unwilling to be just a pretty face.

After listening to Li Xiuyuan's words, Shi Feixuan understood completely. He was about to leave, so it was time to catch up one last time!

A smile blossomed on Li Xiuyuan's face. Seeing Shi Feixuan throw herself into his arms, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.

Li Xiuyuan stripped Shi Feixuan naked with both hands, and soon sounds that made people blush filled the room.

After Li Xiuyuan and Shi Feixuan finished their business, Shi Feixuan, unwilling to remain a mere figurehead, stayed in the Tang Dynasty. He then instructed Shi Feixuan to lead the Cihang Jingzhai to expand its territory and establish branches in other countries.

At this time, Shi Feixuan had entered the realm of human immortals and was qualified to spread the Dao in other countries. Li Xiuyuan took a wisp of her soul and put it into the Black Lotus of Annihilation to prevent any accidents in the future.

After Li Xiuyuan finished doing these things, he returned to the Tang Dynasty palace and explained to several women whether they wanted to follow him or stay outside.

It's worth mentioning Wanwan. After Shi Feixuan entered the Human Immortal realm, she broke through to the next level, not to be outdone. During her tribulation, Li Xiuyuan helped take care of her.

In the end, only Zi Xuan and Shi Qingxuan were willing to go with Li Xiuyuan, while Wu Zetian and Wanwan still planned to stay in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiuyuan had long been prepared for this. If Wanwan and Wu Zhao really left, then they wouldn't be the same people anymore. She wasn't really willing to be just decorative figures for the rest of her life.

However, Li Xiuyuan hoped that Wu Zetian would abdicate as soon as possible, because it would be difficult for her to improve her cultivation while sitting in that position.

Wu Zetian agreed to this, and at most, the Empress would abdicate in a few years.

Li Xiuyuan took Shi Qingxuan and Zixuan into the world of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. At this time, this world became more vibrant, and there was a mountain range here.

When Li Xiuyuan was in the Tang Dynasty, he traveled to some famous mountains and rivers and incorporated these mountain ranges into the world of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and the area was no longer desolate.

Li Xiuyuan also placed a palace in the world within the pearl. This was Yang Guang's former palace, located in Yangzhou City, which he then absorbed into.

Overnight, the palace vanished, leading the people of Yangzhou to believe that a miracle had occurred.

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly at this. He had already informed Wu Zetian about this matter, so it did not cause much panic.

In the world of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Li Xiuyuan looked at the three women. With them around, he thought he would no longer be lonely. Moreover, his other women could also be placed inside.

At that time, the dream of partying every night will no longer be a reality!

It's worth mentioning the Holy Maiden. She is Zixuan's servant, but she's a bit old and Li Xiuyuan doesn't think much of her. However, in the world within the pearl, she can only be his woman.
