Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"Senior brother, let him take on the task of teaching the stone monkey!"

As he spoke, Zhunti thought to himself, "The stone monkey is unruly and difficult to teach. He's a born troublemaker. Whoever becomes his master is unlucky."

Originally, it should have been Bodhi Patriarch, an avatar of the Sage Zhunti, who took the lead, but now there is a more suitable person. First, let Jianglong teach the stone monkey, so that he can receive a large share of the merit.

If these are used properly, an individual can reach the Great Perfection of Quasi-Sainthood. Jianglong has even comprehended the laws of space, and his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is truly extraordinary.

This dragon-slaying being is in no way weaker than any innate deity. It's just a pity that this is not the ancient era. Without the Primordial Purple Qi, it would be extremely difficult to become a saint.

Back then, the two brothers went through countless trials and tribulations, and from the chaos they vaguely gained consciousness. Later, they obtained the Primordial Purple Qi and made forty-eight great vows, which enabled them to become saints and attain enlightenment.

Even the greatest opportunity that Jianglong could have couldn't compare to the Primordial Purple Qi! But if he were to experience the tribulations of the Journey to the West and accumulate merit, he might be able to become a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection.

At that time, another great master will be added to the Buddhist community. In the absence of a sage, few can rival him!

"However, in terms of physical training, no one in our Buddhist sect can match Jianglong except for you and me. The Spiritual Stone Monkey among the Four Chaos Monkeys: understands transformation, knows the timing of the heavens, knows the advantages of the earth, and can shift stars and change constellations. If he cultivates the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he can become a protector of our Buddhist sect."

After listening to his junior brother's words, Jieyin responded indifferently that although Jianglong practiced the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, there was actually not much difference; both were just body training.

With the guidance of the Dragon Subduer, the stone monkey was able to quickly achieve success in his cultivation.

"Unfortunately, this Dragon Subduer has fallen short in matters of minor matters, having violated the precepts of my sect against lust, alcohol, and meat. Could this be a change after reincarnation?"

As he spoke, Zhunti kept this in mind. He was well aware of Li Xiuyuan's relationships with the women. However, although there were precepts in Buddhism, they only applied to ordinary people.

After listening to his junior brother's words, Jieyin smiled and said, "In that case, why don't you and I punish him? And don't let him into the matter of the journey to the west."

As he spoke, he thought to himself, "You already knew about these things. If you intended to use this to make things difficult for Jianglong, you would have already taken action."

"I have no intention of making things difficult for Jianglong right now, so why say it out loud?" Jieyin thought to himself, knowing his junior brother very well.

The two have lived together since the beginning of time, and have rarely been separated in the billions of years. As for his junior brother's thoughts, he only needs to lift his butt to know what he is thinking.

"Don't, don't!"

Zhunti chuckled and said, "As I said, it's just a minor matter, nothing really. Don't you see, our Buddhist sect has the Great Joyful Buddha, who focuses on the path of cultivation? If Jianglong likes women, what's wrong with that?"

He paused and then said, "These Buddhist precepts only bind ordinary disciples. If someone is capable, it doesn't matter if they make some mistakes."

Having said that, he was not angry about Li Xiuyuan's matter, but simply turned a blind eye. As mentioned above, the precepts of Buddhism only apply to ordinary people.

After the journey to the West, Zhu Bajie was appointed as the Clean Altar Messenger. This title was given to him because he liked to eat. The meaning of the title was to manage the offerings to Buddha. As long as it was food, he could swallow it first.

It is clear that the precepts in Buddhism are only used to compete for ordinary people!

Pigsy was nothing special and hadn't even caught the attention of the two sages, but Dragon Subduing was different; in the eyes of the two Western sages, he was of utmost importance.

So, it was just having some entanglements with women, which in their eyes was nothing at all.

"hehe!"

Jieyin smiled and said, "Junior brother, if you don't intend to punish him, why say it out loud?"

He paused, then added, "Let's just watch how Jianglong handles the final matters!"

As he spoke, his gaze pierced through the space and looked directly at Lingyin Temple.

"That's fine!"

Zhunti nodded and replied, "We can borrow that evil lord's hand to see how capable the dragon-slaying beast is. After all, it controls the laws of space and has cultivated the methods of physical body cultivation, reaching the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. I'm afraid it has no rivals below the Quasi-Saint level."

As he spoke, he thought to himself, "I'm going to make things difficult for the dragon."

After hearing this, Jieyin said calmly, "That's not necessarily true. You should know that the Marquis of Nie's background is extraordinary. Although it's only part of it, with the addition of the Golden-Winged Roc, he can be considered a primordial deity. If it weren't for his poor character, he would probably have already reached the Quasi-Saint level."

As he spoke, he thought to himself, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the Peacock King in Mount Ling. Although the two were brothers, they were very different.

The former possesses five-colored divine light and has few rivals at the Quasi-Saint level, while the latter is still hovering at the Great Luo level. Are they really brothers?

"In that case, let's wait and see, senior brother! We'll see who guesses correctly."

As they spoke, Zhunti also focused his gaze, and the two of them seemed to pierce through space, able to see Lingyin Temple.

Chapter 365 The True Fire of the Sun

After Li Xiuyuan entered the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique, he realized that time had passed quickly. It had only been a short period of seclusion. Indeed, time flies when you are in cultivation!

With a thought, Li Xiuyuan descended to the manor at the foot of the mountain. Everyone was there, and only then did he feel safe. Neither the Golden-Winged Roc nor the Lord of Qiankun Cave were to be worried about.

Li Xiuyuan believed he had no rivals at the same level. Even if the so-called Lord of Qiankun Cave and the Golden-Winged Roc came at him, he would not be afraid.

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself as he saw everyone again. Whether it was the charming Bai Ling, the playful and cute Bai Xue, the understanding Hong Xiuying, or his lawfully wedded wife Yan Zhi, they had all been looking forward to seeing him for a long time.

..........................

what!

Upon seeing the atmosphere in the sky, Li Xiuyuan frowned. He saw dark clouds stretching for miles, so thick that it was difficult to open his eyes.

A fierce wind rippled through the air, and something in the heavens seemed to be undergoing a major change. After a while, countless skulls appeared.

These skulls continued to converge, eventually forming a humanoid skull face. Its mouth and eyes were filled with ghostly fire, and it roared, "Bai Xue, Yan Zhi, you two have made me search for you so many times!"

As he spoke, his chilling voice drifted over, and all living beings within a hundred miles felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing it.

"Master of Qiankun Cave!"

Upon seeing the skull, Bai Xue was greatly surprised. The fact that the cave master had come to her door was beyond her expectations. To be honest, Bai Xue was able to transform into human form thanks to the other party's good fortune; otherwise, how could she have transformed into a human?

After all, Bai Xue was just a little rabbit, and not very smart, so she relied entirely on the cultivation of the Qiankun Cave Master.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to still remember me. I asked you to help Rouge kill someone, but you ended up associating with them instead. Very well, very well!"

As he spoke, the Master of Qiankun Cave said "good" three times, which showed the anger in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Skull, you escaped last time, but you won't be so lucky this time."

After saying that, the corners of his mouth turned up, showing that he was not afraid at all, even when facing the Lord of Qiankun Cave.

After all, Li Xiuyuan has entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and even a Quasi-Saint level figure would find it extremely difficult to defeat him.

However, what surprised Li Xiuyuan was what exactly this Qiankun Cave Master was. Judging from its appearance, it was covered with countless skulls, forming a ghostly face that was thousands of square meters in size.

But Li Xiuyuan had a vague intuition that this was not the guy's true face. He remembered reading on Baidu in his previous life that the Lord of Qiankun Cave was one of the five-colored stones used by Nuwa to mend the sky in ancient times.

If that's really the case, then the connection between the cave master and Buddhism is definitely profound, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

"Hmph, Jianglong, do you think I'm afraid of you? If my true form weren't absent, how could you be so arrogant?"

As he spoke, the Master of Qiankun Cave sneered, seemingly disdainful, yet extremely wary, for Jianglong was no longer the same person he once was.

Seeing the other party chattering on and on, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "I hope your skills are as sharp as your tongue."

Having said that, he made a profound gesture with both hands and pushed it directly towards the cave master in the air, shouting: "Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal!"

As he spoke, his breath surged, and a rumbling sound could be heard.

Suddenly, a giant golden hand appeared in the air, its intense light so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it. The huge golden palm-shaped light contained a swastika symbol.

swastika!

This palm print covered the sky, shrouding people's eyes and hearts. It felt as if the palm had struck the heart, as if the sky had collapsed. Li Xiuyuan's palm lines were even distorted by the powerful explosive force, as if the heavens had gone awry.

When the laws of Heaven are in disarray, the world will be overthrown!

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.

However, the palm strike reversed course, directly crushing down into the air.

The giant '卍' symbol kept spinning, and the surrounding air was worn away into a vacuum.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this move, the Master of Qiankun Cave chuckled and said, "Dragon Subduer, don't you have any new moves? You only know this Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal."

After saying this, a raging fire spewed from the skull face of the Lord of Qiankun Cave. The red flames were extremely hot, and one could even feel that they were the true fire of the sun.

The two collided violently, producing a deafening boom that seemed to turn the world upside down. The resulting gusts of wind from their battle spread outwards.

The entire Lingyin Temple was blown so hard it was on the verge of collapse. When Li Xiuyuan saw these flames, he thought to himself, "True Sun Fire! Damn it, how could this Qiankun Cave Master know this?"

It seems there's no mistake. The True Fire of the Sun eliminated the ancient Golden Crow, and only Buddhists knew how to use it. As for people from other sects, very few could wield such a flame.

The fact that the Master of Qiankun Cave could unleash the True Fire of the Sun clearly indicates that his relationship with Buddhism was extremely close.

However, although Li Xiuyuan knew this in his heart, he didn't care about that and still went all out. As he activated his Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, the Buddha statue formed from his true self in the future actually appeared behind him.

The Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture that Li Xiuyuan practiced was far superior to that of others. Unless it was the Tathagata Buddha himself, no one at the same level could compare to him in this technique.

Chapter 366 Master of Qiankun Cave

The Buddha statue behind Li Xiuyuan was radiant with golden light, dazzlingly bright. The endless golden light seemed to be accompanied by chanting, while the swastika symbol propelled by the Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal floated within it, tinged with red flames.

It turned out that Li Xiuyuan had added the True Fire of the Sun, making this palm print even more powerful. Most importantly, the two techniques were very similar. Although the Master of Qiankun Cave had practiced for many years, Li Xiuyuan was by no means a pushover.

Rumble!

Sparks flew everywhere, and two fiery red suns could be seen for miles around. They collided and produced a sound like the creation of the world.

The combined power of these two beings' True Sun Fire was truly boundless; only a handful of flames in the Three Realms could compare to it. These included the Samadhi True Fire of the Tushita Heaven, the divine fire of the Ancestral Witch Zhurong, and the Heavenly Demon Heart Fire of the Demonic Path.

Boom!

After the exchange, Li Xiuyuan saw that the Master of Qiankun Cave was unharmed. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, this guy can become friends with the Roc. In the eyes of outsiders, he seems to be his elder brother. He must be someone important."

But Li Xiuyuan had a lot of territory, and he shouted, "You wicked creature, die!"

As he spoke, he took out the Divine Demon Sword with his right hand. In front of this mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, a sharp sword light swept across the sky, completely cleaving apart the black clouds in the sky.
