Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The giant ghostly hand shattered, space vanished into nothingness, and the person's attempt to save Black Wind failed at the last moment.

When the visitor realized that the situation was hopeless, he naturally disappeared.

At the same time, the black wind was attacked by the Calamity-Suppressing Technique. How could it escape unscathed? Its body turned into powder and eventually became dust. A gust of wind blew by, and it disappeared without a trace.

"Where is Black Wind?"

When Zhao Bin saw this scene, he was shocked. That black, earth-shattering sword energy was truly astonishing.

"That cloud of dust from just now was it."

As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan described Hei Feng's body.

what?

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and their gazes toward Li Xiuyuan turned to horror. They knew that Hei Feng had been so arrogant when he used the Black Wind Formation.

But in front of Li Xiuyuan, they were wiped out without a second thought.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Alright, let's go! Let's return to Lingyin Temple."

As he spoke, he made up his mind.

"En!"

Chapter 322 Zhunti's Guidance

"En!"

Everyone responded in unison. Seeing how terrifying Li Xiuyuan was, probably no one would object now.

Li Xiuyuan grabbed the three people and disappeared in an instant, using teleportation to return to Lingyin Temple.

At the same time, spatial ripples appeared in the void, and two monks appeared on the scene. The one in the lead had a yellow face, as if he had never left a quiet place for many years. The other monk had a round face and was wearing monk's robes. They both looked extraordinary.

If anyone were here, they would surely notice the faces of the two people, hazy and indistinct, giving a vague feeling that makes them seem difficult to see through.

"Senior brother, what do you think of this boy?"

The monk whose face was further away asked, "There are two more people here, but Li Xiuyuan doesn't know that, which shows how terrifying they are."

"Excellent, he can be of great use."

As he spoke, the monk responded calmly.

If any figures from ancient times were here, they would surely discover two people who are none other than the two renowned Western Saints. They originated in the West and possessed intelligence from the very beginning of chaos.

The two transformed into human form, became friends, and used their abilities in the Zixiao Palace to finally snatch two prayer mats.

When the Lord of Honggou became a saint, he fought a great battle with the Demon Ancestor Rahu, which destroyed the Western Earth Veins. Although he achieved the status of a saint, he incurred karmic debts to the West.

Honggou needs to repay two people in order to achieve perfect harmony with the Dao, so both of them possess the Primordial Purple Qi.

The two received the Primordial Purple Qi and witnessed the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa becoming saints. Seeing the barrenness of the West, they made forty-eight great vows to "save all people" and establish Western Buddhism.

Heaven, moved by their compassion, bestowed boundless merit upon them. Through this merit, the two attained indestructible bodies, free from the suffering of the mortal world, and became Primordial Golden Immortals, the supreme beings of sainthood.

However, after the two saints attained sainthood, they owed karma to the sentient beings of the West because of the forty-eight vows they made. Therefore, they needed to fulfill their great vows, otherwise they would fall from their position as saints and might even face danger to their lives.

Therefore, after Zhunti and Jieyin attained sainthood, they were already walking on thin ice, planning the development of the West every day.

Finally, during the Investiture of the Gods, their opportunity came. First, they converted Kong Xuan, and later Laozi and Yuanshi asked them to help, which they naturally accepted.

When the Tongtian Sect Leader set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the two Western Saints converted three thousand members of the Jie Sect. In addition, the Chan Sect's Ran Deng won over many Xuanmen figures, and Buddhism ushered in a period of great prosperity.

Another song goes:

When the Greatly Enlightened Golden Immortal is one with the West, the wondrous Dharma is the ancestor of Bodhi. Neither born nor dying, practicing the Threefold Path, possessing complete Qi and spirit, boundless compassion.

Emptiness and stillness naturally follow change; true nature acts as it pleases. A majestic body, as enduring as heaven; a great master who has enlightened his mind through countless eons.

Emerging from the pure lotus platform, the wondrous teachings of the Two Vehicles are opened. The exquisite relics transcend the mundane, the jeweled necklaces and bright pearls are unparalleled.

Purple flames rise from the Eight Virtues Pool, and golden moss grows on the Seven Treasures Tree. It is only because a handsome man from the East has come to meet him and formed a sacred embryo from a past destiny.

Golden bows and silver halberds are not for defense against fools; the treasure-wielding fish-gut sword is said to have a method. Though Kong Xuan is said to possess transformation abilities, he is called the Wise King under the swaying tree.

As the saying goes, "All men are but ants beneath the sage!"

The fact that Jieyin described Li Xiuyuan as "worthy of great use" shows that he thinks highly of him.

"Yes! We in the West have long been desolate and have waited for millions of years. Finally, we have ushered in a period of great prosperity. Now, we can say that an outstanding person has emerged."

As he spoke, Zhunti looked toward Lingyin Temple.

"Hmm, this child has comprehended the laws of space. Unless a veteran quasi-saint makes a move, he will be invincible. Even if he can't win, he can still run away."

As he spoke, a hint of jealousy flashed in the deep eyes of the guide.

It's important to know that the Law of Space ranks among the top ten of the Three Thousand Great Daos, demonstrating its power. In ancient times, only the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang possessed the Law of Space, but he inherited it from the bloodline of Pangu.

They were naturally very jealous that even the two Western Saints had failed to comprehend the laws of space, yet now a disciple of theirs had mastered them.

Fortunately, they were Buddhists; otherwise, the two of them would probably have shamelessly killed this monster.

Of course, what the two of them didn't know was that there was also a person named Hollow Willow Eyebrows.

"Indeed, this child not only knows the laws of space, but has also reached the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique. His physical cultivation is also not weak. Apart from you and me, few in the Buddhist sect can match him."

Zhunti said calmly that the two of them had only glanced at Li Xiuyuan a few times, yet they had already figured out a lot about his abilities.

"Moreover, the sword technique that Jianglong just used honed his primordial spirit into the shape of a sword embryo. This sword is extremely sharp. If you and I were to fight at the same level, I'm afraid neither of us would gain the upper hand."

Jieyin pondered for a moment and then said.

“Yes! Senior brother, we in the West are inherently barren, and our talents are no match for those in the East. But Jianglong is a native of the West.”

Having said that, Zhunti felt a little pleased. The saints were already immortal and indestructible; what they needed was face. However, the two saints from the West owed karmic debts to the beings of the West.

Day and night, they thought about how to promote the prosperity of the West, so sometimes they would disregard their reputation and bully the weak.

This is why many ancient fantasy novels describe the two Western saints as shameless.

However, from the perspective of Cundi and Jieyin, as well as from the perspective of the Western beings, it is completely correct.

"En!"

Jieyin responded calmly, "Jianglong is a native of the West. Although he has been reincarnated, his memories have not disappeared. Therefore, the two Western Saints naturally regard him as one of their own."

"However, the swordsmanship used by Jianglong is extremely sharp. Who taught him this swordsmanship? This kind of swordsmanship is somewhat similar to the methods of the Tongtian Sect Master."

As he spoke, Zhunti was very curious, because the "Suppressing Chaos Technique" used by Li Xiuyuan had never appeared in this world before.

In the primordial world, the most powerful swordsman is undoubtedly the Tongtian Sect Master, so it is quite possible that the two of them mistakenly believed the other's methods.

Chapter 323 The Sage's Attention

"Could it really be a divinely ordained method?"

As he spoke, the guide felt a bit curious and couldn't help but ask a question in return, since this matter could be big or small and couldn't be dealt with hastily.

"No, based on my understanding of Tongtian, he disdains to engage in such conspiracies and tricks. Moreover, if Jianglong is truly a member of the Jie Sect, as long as we hide him and increase our efforts to help him break through, he will be a powerful weapon."

Zhunti couldn't believe that Tongtian would give up on someone like Li Xiuyuan. After all, almost all the members of the Jie Sect were on the Investiture of the Gods, while the rest were converted by Buddhism.

In a fit of anger, Tongtian Jiaozhu disbanded the Jie Sect and even drove away the green ox that was by his side.

If the Tongtian Sect Leader could cultivate someone with spatial laws into a Quasi-Saint, then the Jie Sect might have a place in the Three Realms.

After all, Li Xiuyuan can even comprehend the laws of space, so there is still a great possibility that he can become a quasi-saint.

A quasi-saint who possesses the laws of space is probably unmatched by anyone except a saint!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the current Buddha is a quasi-saint. If he were to face the Ancestral Witch Dijiang at his strongest, he would definitely not be able to win. Although both are quasi-saints, Dijiang, who possesses a top-ten law, would be far more powerful.

"So, where did the Dragon Subduing Sword Technique come from?"

The guide asked again.

"Senior brother, can you see that the black sword in Jianglong's hand seems to have a great connection with the Zhuxian Sword of the Tongtian Sect Master?"

After saying that, the guide pinched his index finger twice and finally figured out the origin.

"I see!"

Jieyin nodded and continued, "The black sword in this boy's hand has actually been infused with the Zhuxian Sword Soul, which proves that he must be very outstanding in swordsmanship. If he can also master another sword technique, it would make sense."

As he spoke, he felt relieved.

"Yes!"

Zhunti nodded and said, "As long as this boy is a disciple of my Buddhist sect, any extraordinary encounters he has are his own good fortune. We only need to focus on his abilities."

“That’s right. Whether they are disciples of the Jie Sect or the Chan Sect, we are willing to use them, as long as they join our Buddhist sect.”

"It is a gift," Jieyin said calmly.

This statement is indeed true; regardless of whether they were members of the Jie Sect or the Chan Sect, quite a few of them joined the Buddhist order.

Among them, Daoist Duobao once wanted to feign joining Buddhism to share in its fortune, but he was ultimately thwarted by them.

Today, Daoist Duobao can be considered the top enforcer of Buddhism. Just look at what the Jade Emperor said: "Quickly go to the Western Paradise to invite the Buddha!" ​​This shows Daoist Duobao's status within Buddhism.

"That's exactly the reason."

Zhunti nodded in agreement. The two had known each other for many years, since the beginning of time, and had been inseparable. Their hearts were connected, and they could understand each other with just a glance.

"However, what are your plans for subduing the dragon, Junior Brother?"
