Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Her long, dark, arched eyebrows looked as if they were painted, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating charm. Her alluring pupils, clear and bright, exuded a mesmerizing allure.

In addition, Rouge wore a light red embroidered silk shirt and a pearl white crepe skirt. On her oval, fair and tender face, a pair of dimples appeared on her cheeks. She applied light rouge, making her cheeks look like a newly opened magnolia flower, white with a hint of pink.

Her long, dark, arched eyebrows were as if painted on, and her eyes, bright and captivating, were clear and alluring, radiating a mesmerizing charm.

Then there's Bai Xue, who wore a rather simple, plain pink long brocade robe. Dark brown silk thread was used to embroider intricate and vigorous branches on the fabric, while peach-pink silk thread was used to embroider blooming plum blossoms, extending from the hem of the skirt all the way to her waist.

A wide, dark purple belt cinched her slender waist, accentuating her graceful figure and giving her an elegant yet adorable air. She wore a light purple, open-fronted gauze dress, which shimmered with every movement. A jade pendant hung at her waist, adding a touch of playfulness.

Seeing everyone gathered behind him, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Everything is ready. Enter my spatial magic treasure, and I will take you all with me. No matter where we go in the future, I will be with you."

After saying that, he directly explained his background and recounted the matter.

"What? You want us to come together?"

Everyone was surprised, but seeing Li Xiuyuan's serious expression, it seemed he wasn't joking at all.

Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "That's right, let's leave. We probably won't come back again!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "If you can't bear to part with it, I can take everything here with me."

After saying that, he waited for everyone to react before he unleashed the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. Twelve small, crystal-clear beads surrounded Li Xiuyuan's palm.

In an instant, it enveloped the entire manor, and everyone felt a sense of darkness descend upon them. Then, the entire courtyard seemed to rise from the ground.

All the people saw was a colossal tree that blotted out the sky, covering the entire horizon. They were greatly surprised, wondering what kind of tree it was and how it could be so tall, reaching straight to the sky.

This is just a miniature version of the World Tree. If it were to truly manifest, it would probably be even more astonishing!

He entered Li Xiuyuan's spatial world directly and said calmly, "There are some other people here. I hope you can get along well."

As he spoke, he quickly emerged from it. At the same time, the people in the spatial world also noticed that a courtyard had appeared here.

Before long, several women came over, and after asking them a few questions, they finally understood what had happened.

Meanwhile, everyone secretly cursed inwardly, no wonder this bad guy ran so fast, it turned out he saw so many older sisters and knew they would be jealous, so he left early.

The ghost baby looked around in surprise, thinking to itself that with so many mothers and godfathers, the family was usually in turmoil, and now it would be even more difficult to have peace.

"yawn!"

Li Xiuyuan, who was outside, suddenly coughed. He thought to himself, "Who on earth is thinking about me?"

However, Li Xiuyuan doesn't care about that right now. Although everyone is inevitably jealous, it will subside after a while, since they can't live without her.

Li Xiuyuan has too many things to do outside, so he can't possibly immerse himself in women. He needs to focus on his cultivation. Since obtaining Pangu's essence blood, his starting point has been much higher.

In terms of fundamentals, Li Xiuyuan is no weaker than any innate deity, and with the power law at his disposal, he can be considered one of the best!

Chapter 387 Western Spirit Mountain

hum!

Li Xiuyuan's elusive figure appeared before everyone's eyes. The fat fairy boy exclaimed in surprise, "Venerable Dragon Subduer, when did you catch up? I didn't see you clearly."

After saying this, he was very surprised, and everyone else was also puzzled. In their eyes, they only saw a slight spatial fluctuation, and then Li Xiuyuan appeared.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself that with his understanding of the laws of space, it was wishful thinking for these people to try to see the trajectory of the movement. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be stumped if he were here.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "I just arrived. Let's hurry on our way!"

He didn't elaborate further. If the others didn't understand, he wouldn't bother to explain, because in a few months, they probably wouldn't have any contact anymore.

Although the fat and thin fairy children were funny, they didn't press Li Xiuyuan for details when he saw that Li Xiuyuan didn't want to talk about it. After all, it was Li Xiuyuan's trump card, and he wouldn't tell you easily.

So they hurried on their way. However, Li Xiuyuan found their speed too slow, so he prepared to use the laws of space to leap with them quickly.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's understanding of the laws of space is no less than that of the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang. He is only at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet he can travel 120,000 li in an instant, which is no less than Sun Wukong's somersault cloud.

After all, Sun Wukong's somersault cloud was created by the Sage Zhunti himself. As you can see, there are few in the Three Realms who can keep up with Sun Wukong's speed.

Even Yang Jian was inferior. In terms of status, he was no less than Sun Wukong, after all, he was the head of the third generation of disciples of the Chan Sect. Therefore, Li Xiuyuan was certain that this somersault cloud flying technique was definitely not simple.

Li Xiuyuan is Sun Wukong's future master. If the Sage Zhunti is willing to teach him, he will probably pass it on to me!

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that he was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so his speed was not as fast as that of the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiangluo. Therefore, he made a deduction.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were formed from the essence and blood of Pangu. They attached themselves to the souls of humans and demons and were reborn as Great Witches. The Great Witches had powerful physical bodies, but no primordial spirit. They had magical power but could not cultivate the Dao or practice the secrets of heaven, and had no chance to attain the Dao fruit.

The Ancestral Witches were born with unparalleled physical strength and were immortal. They could devour heaven and earth, manipulate wind, water, thunder and lightning, move mountains and fill seas, and change the world. The Ancestral Witches had a primordial spirit, but it was weak. Due to congenital deficiencies, they had no great magical power, could not cultivate the Dao, understand their own fortune and misfortune, or comprehend the essence of the creation of heaven and earth, and thus could not break through the void to achieve the Dao.

After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, both were killed and disappeared into the world. Li Xiuyuan obtained Pangu's essence blood when he was at the Golden Immortal realm.

Therefore, unlike the Ancestral Witches, whose primordial spirits were annihilated, Li Xiuyuan would not suffer the same fate. The difference between the two is vast, and the Ancestral Witches' primordial spirits were inherently deficient, but Li Xiuyuan would not.

Moreover, due to the strength of his primordial spirit, Li Xiuyuan's cultivation of spatial laws was much smoother than that of the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang. Even at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he possessed a speed that was no less than Emperor Jiang's.

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, secretly deducing that once he entered the Quasi-Saint realm, even reaching a million miles in an instant would not be a dream.

As for a Primordial Golden Immortal, it's even possible to travel billions of miles in an instant.

[Note: The Primordial Golden Immortal mentioned above has the same combat power as a Saint, but they are different from Saints. They can draw on the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, so there are some differences, such as in speed.]

However, although these people can draw upon the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, they are ultimately subject to its control. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that the group had already entered Xiniuhezhou. In Buddhist terms, Xiniuhezhou is also known as Guduoni. Its territory is 8,000 yojanas in length and breadth and is shaped like a crescent moon.

Li Xiuyuan led several people to teleport over. Because of his speed, he did not stop for long along the way and arrived outside the Western Spirit Mountain in just half a day.

Xiniu Hezhou, one of the four great continents, truly deserves the title of the most barren, with a quarter of it being desert and the rest being green mountains and clear waters.

Moreover, this place is sparsely populated. In Journey to the West, after Sun Wukong and his group left Wuzhuang Temple, they traveled for more than ten years and did not encounter any particularly good places during that time.

The people of those countries are far inferior to those of Dongsheng Shenzhou. Moreover, Xiniu Hezhou is so vast that it would probably take a lifetime for an ordinary person to traverse it all.

In Li Xiuyuan's mind, this journey to the west, though said to be heading to Mount Ling, was actually only a little over 100,000 li away, and the rest was just choosing some easy places to travel.

After all, some parts of Xiniu Hezhou are entirely desert, so it remains to be seen how Tang Sanzang will navigate his journey.

Therefore, in Li Xiuyuan's mind, the journey to the West was full of ambiguity, or to put it bluntly, a way of deceiving the Heavenly Dao.

However, it was undoubtedly very successful. From Dongsheng Shenzhou to Xiniu Hezhou, there are tens of millions of miles. It is unclear how the Buddhists planned it.

The details will be introduced one by one later...........................

Li Xiuyuan looked towards Lingshan Mountain and saw that the surrounding landscape was full of mountains and forests, with strange rocks and steep cliffs in various shapes and forms, creating a harmonious scene; secluded valleys and dense forests with flowing streams, waterfalls and pools hanging high, startling the heavens and earth, and a clear blue sky with stars and a dust-free wind; wild geese landed nine miles away and fish were deep in the abyss, and the mountains and waters were green with a sigh.

The perilous rocks here are mysteriously shaped, enormous in size, and awe-inspiring, making them the most extraordinary rocks in the world; the "camel" with its head raised to the sky is huge, lifelike, and vivid; Xiaoyao Cave is a magical and mysterious cave-to-cave structure.

Fairy Cave is located in a precipitous area, with a unique and rare cave ceiling shape; Silver Cave Waterfall combines magnificence, mystery, wonder, and danger, making it a unique wonder. Jiuli Luoyan Lake is surrounded by mountains.

The lake shore is winding and picturesque, with the lake and mountains reflecting each other beautifully. The clouds drift and sway, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The Eight Divine Brush Peaks are said to be characters created by the heavens, with characters divided into yin and yang, regular strokes, and a mysterious structure that is truly incredible.

Chapter 388 Guiding the Sage

All that could be heard was the babbling of the stream, and as the mountaintop was shrouded in swirling clouds, the entire Ling Mountain seemed like a magical world. Li Xiuyuan arrived at the foot of Ling Mountain, where a large river flowed ahead. Upon closer inspection, he saw a flat plank by the bridge with the words "Lingyun Ferry" on it. It turned out to be a single-plank bridge.

In addition, an old man, steering a small boat, came closer. The boat, upon approaching, turned out to be a bottomless vessel. Li Xiuyuan had already recognized him as the Sage of Reception, but without revealing it, he called out, "Boatman, come quickly!"

As he spoke, he shook his arm and shouted.

The fat and thin fairy children beside them, as well as Ling Chanzi, were greatly surprised. Why hadn't they noticed the river at the foot of Mount Ling and the old man ferrying people across it? What they didn't know was that the guide saint only accepted those with predestined affinity.

If they wanted to remain undetected, even the Buddha himself would have difficulty discerning them, let alone two monks who weren't even Arhats.

Given their status, they wouldn't normally be considered to have a connection, but Li Xiuyuan, possessing the essence of Pangu's blood, was highly regarded by the two sages, and thus had a connection with Buddhism.

The Sage of Guidance quickly arrived in his small boat. The fat monk was greatly surprised to see that the boat had no bottom and asked, "Venerable Dragon Subduer, is this boat safe to ride in? Won't it capsize?"

After saying that, he felt a little uneasy, and the other three people simultaneously turned their gazes toward Li Xiuyuan.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly. Before he could speak, the Sage of Guidance beside him said, "My boat was renowned in the beginning of chaos, fortunately I have sailed it without change. With waves and winds, it remains steady, endless and without beginning or end, enjoying peace and tranquility. Unstained by the six senses, it can return to oneness, traveling freely and peacefully through countless eons. A bottomless boat can hardly cross the sea, but it has carried all living beings from ancient times to the present."

As he spoke, the sage's tone couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride!

Li Xiuyuan calmly said, "Hurry up and get on the ship! If you don't get on, you can go back on your own!"

Having said that, he lifted Huiming's body and placed him on the boat, while the fat and thin fairy boys and Ling Chanzi beside him were greatly surprised.

Naturally, none of them wanted to return. Having regained their memories, they were unwilling to stay in the mortal world. After all, the path of cultivation was infinitely wondrous, much like a drug addict, giving one a blissful, intoxicating feeling.

These individuals were all accomplished cultivators, and naturally, they were unwilling to return to the mortal realm and become ordinary people again. This is also why the various deities were terrified upon hearing that they were to be banished to the mortal world.

The Sage who guided them smiled slightly and, seeing several people standing on the boat, said, "Hold on tight!"

Having said that, he rocked the small boat, which, like a sharp arrow, rode the wind and waves, soaring away.

So fast!

Everyone stared in disbelief at what they had just witnessed. At the same time, several people's clothes were soaked, except for Li Xiuyuan, who remained unharmed. After a while, the boat finally reached the shore.

Suddenly, everyone found themselves standing on the shore. The old man with the small boat was nowhere to be seen. If it weren't for the mud beneath their feet, what had happened would have seemed like a dream.

The skinny fairy boy exclaimed in surprise, "Where is that old man?!"

As he spoke, he looked around, trying to find the other person again.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "They left long ago, what are you still looking at?"

As he spoke, he sighed inwardly, realizing that he had gained a great deal this time. It turned out that the saint who had guided him earlier had secretly imparted the Dharma to him.

Those methods were the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts of Buddhism, the Seventy-Two Transformations, and finally, the Somersault Cloud. The origin of this cloud-riding technique was indeed extraordinary.

This is the cloud-riding technique of the ancient Hongyun Ancestor. Its mysteries are extraordinary, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to learn it.

It was only after Zhunti and Jieyin adapted it that the Somersault Cloud technique came into being.

Hongyun, also known as Ancestor Hongyun, was the first red cloud to attain enlightenment after the creation of heaven and earth. He possessed the strength of a Quasi-Saint and once listened to Hongjun preach in Zixiao Palace, along with the Twelve Great Ancestral Witches, Donghuang Taiyi, Dijun, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, and others.
