Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

As he spoke, Orange Boy shouted something, and the seven gourd brothers seemed to understand him, shouting back in unison, "Brothers united, their strength can break metal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven gourd brothers, their bodies shimmering with golden light, merged together.

After the dazzling light dissipated, a golden gourd boy stood in front of Li Xiuyuan. He was almost the same size as the gourd boy in front of him. He said, "Master, I am the Little Calabash King Kong."

As he spoke, his voice sounded as if all seven Calabash Brothers were speaking at once.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan secretly thought to himself, "Excellent! This Calabash and Little Vajra combined actually possess the cultivation of a Golden Immortal. They are truly a rare species of heaven and earth. You must know, they were only born recently!"

Li Xiuyuan said, "Alright, I wonder what your skills are."

As he spoke, he became a little curious. The Calabash Brothers on TV inherited all the Calabash Brothers' strengths and even eliminated their weaknesses.

For example, Huangwa's indestructible body, whose original weakness was his buttocks, is now completely gone.

Little Calabash Brother said with a grin, "Master, I have the advantages of all seven brothers, and if I were to cultivate, my speed would be seven times that of a normal Calabash Brother."

As he spoke, a bright smile spread across his face, like a child showing off.

After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan said, "In that case, you should unite in the future! This way, your cultivation will be faster. As the saying goes, 'When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break metal.' If you encounter powerful monsters, you will be able to fight them."

As he spoke, he thought to himself, "Originally, there were seven Calabash Brothers, which would have been seven disciples. It would have been a bit troublesome to take them all with me. Now that they've become one Calabash Little Vajra, it saves me a lot of trouble."

"Uh-huh!"

Calabash Brothers quickly agreed. Since they had just transformed into Calabash Brothers, the seven Calabash Brothers found it novel and didn't think much of it.

But after a few hundred years, the seven gourd brothers will get tired of it and want to come out for some fresh air. Of course, that's all in the future!

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon seeing this and said with a smile, "Alright, it's time for us to go."

With that, he left the spot with Calabash Brothers.

Chapter 504 Reunion with Dapeng

"Master, where are we going?"

As he spoke, Calabash Brothers, a little curious, opened his eyes and asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and replied, "I need to go see an old friend."

Having said that, he took the Calabash Brothers and, in the blink of an eye, arrived at the deepest part of the earth, the very place where the Golden-Winged Roc was being suppressed.

Li Xiuyuan appeared in front of Dapeng. He saw a man dressed in black with an arrogant and unruly air about him, but it was suppressed and only his head could be seen.

The appearance of Li Xiuyuan and Calabash Little King Kong immediately attracted the attention of the Roc. He said indifferently, "Roc, it's been a long time."

As he spoke, he looked at the Roc with a grin, as if he were an old friend, and appeared directly in front of the Roc. If someone didn't know better, they would think they were very friendly!

"Dragon Subduing!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Golden-Winged Roc gritted his teeth and said that he was very familiar with Li Xiuyuan. He could recognize his voice immediately upon hearing it.

The Golden-Winged Roc's resentment towards Li Xiuyuan was undoubtedly deep, given that it had been suppressed under the mountain for over a hundred years entirely due to Li Xiuyuan's efforts.

Although it was the Sage Zhunti who made the move, the Golden-Winged Roc dared not blame the Sage. He questioned his own talent and knew that he had no hope of becoming a Sage, so he did not intend to seek revenge on Zhunti. However, he sowed the seeds of hatred on Li Xiuyuan.

When the two met again, they seemed like enemies, their eyes filled with hatred.

Seeing the Roc's bloodshot eyes, Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't get agitated. Although we are old friends, there's no need for us to act like this the moment we meet!"

As he spoke, his grinning expression only fueled Da Peng's resentment.

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that, according to the timeline, this Golden-Winged Roc should be freed within the next year or two. If it is not dealt with properly, it will leave behind an enemy.

Although the Golden-Winged Roc is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his talent is not weak. If he really achieves enlightenment and becomes a Quasi-Saint level expert, it will still cause some trouble.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan planned to eliminate him once and for all, and he already had a plan in mind as to what method would be best.

"Hmph, we have an irreconcilable feud. What business do you have with me today?"

As he spoke, the roc coldly said that because he was suppressed, he knew nothing about what was happening outside. He had no idea that Li Xiuyuan had actually become a quasi-saint level expert.

If it had known, the Roc would never have been so arrogant. After all, Li Xiuyuan was only at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal back then, which was enough to shake the Three Realms.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Don't be nervous. There is no hatred in this world that cannot be resolved. It's just a matter of whether you are willing to."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Hmph, you think you can settle your score with me? It's not that simple. Unless you can compensate me with a few innate spiritual treasures."

Upon hearing this, the roc began to daydream. In his mind, perhaps the other party's real purpose in coming here was to resolve the feud between the two.

There is someone outside who will help Dapeng vent his anger, namely his brother Kong Xuan. Could it be that Jianglong is afraid of Kong Xuan and wants to resolve his grudge with him?

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. I don't have many innate spiritual treasures to give you; I only have one."

As he spoke, a golden circle appeared in his hand. It was glittering and shone with a brilliant light, illuminating an area of ​​a hundred meters in an instant. It was an innate spiritual treasure.

Upon seeing the halo, the roc immediately thought of it, and then he saw the halo actually come towards him and land directly on his head.

"You bastard, what do you want to do to me?"

Upon seeing this, the Golden-Winged Roc immediately became terrified, thinking that the evil that Jianglong had committed against him was definitely not simple.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "There's no need for you to be so nervous. Didn't you want a primordial spiritual treasure? This is it. This circle is a tight band. Here, let you try it out first!"

As he spoke, he silently recited the mantra in his mind: "Namo Puguang Buddha, Namo Puming Buddha, Namo Pujing Buddha, Namo Tamalapachansang Buddha, Namo Chandana Buddha, Namo Mani Banner Buddha, Namo Joyful Treasury Mani Treasure Accumulation Buddha....................."

Indeed, this magical artifact is the Tightening Headband, which is also very famous in Journey to the West because it is placed on Sun Wukong's head.

As we all know, the stone monkey is arrogant and unruly, and it is very difficult to discipline him. That's why Guanyin Bodhisattva in the original story prepared the headband for Sun Wukong. If he makes a mistake, reciting the spell once will be very effective.

Even the stone monkey Sun Wukong could hardly bear this kind of pain, and the golden-winged roc was no better off.

"what!"

Upon hearing the sound of the headband incantation, the Golden-Winged Roc immediately experienced a splitting headache. Then, it felt as if all the bones in its body were about to break, being pulverized inch by inch. This feeling was so real, as if it were real.

The golden headband, tightly wrapped around the head of the Golden-Winged Roc, caused him immense pain, and he roared, "Damn it, stop right now!"

Unfortunately, Li Xiuyuan was not someone he could command. The more the Golden-Winged Roc said this, the more intense the pain became.

The little Calabash King Kong beside him knew perfectly well that this guy was the biggest monster, so he had no sympathy for the pain he was suffering. If it weren't for him, his grandfather wouldn't have died.

"Please, please stop reading."

After a long while, the Golden-Winged Roc finally couldn't take it anymore and begged Li Xiuyuan for mercy. You should know that as a primordial divine creature, it is rare for it to beg for mercy. If the headband hadn't been so painful, why would it have asked for mercy?

Li Xiuyuan did not stop after seeing this, and continued reciting for another half minute. Seeing that the other party could not bear it any longer, he stopped and said calmly, "Dapeng, are you convinced?"

As he spoke, he felt a surge of satisfaction. This headband was truly powerful, and the treasures in the Merit Mall were exactly as advertised, with no difference from the original.

Chapter 505 Mount: Golden-Winged Roc

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, even Sun Wukong in Journey to the West couldn't withstand the restraint of the golden headband and obediently went to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures in front of Tang Sanzang, let alone the Golden-Winged Roc. If we talk about ability, the monkey is naturally the most powerful.

"I...I admit defeat!"

The Golden-Winged Roc was about to protest, but a chill ran down his spine, and he immediately changed his mind. If possible, he would never want to experience the feeling of the headband again. That feeling that made people wish they could die immediately was really unbearable.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he replied with a light laugh, "It's good that you're convinced."

Having said that, he reached out with his huge hand, and a colossal hand that blotted out the sky moved the entire mountain range horizontally. This was a supernatural power that could move mountains and fill seas, something that any immortal could do.

However, it depends on who is wielding it. If the Roc were to do it, it would definitely not have such great power. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been suppressed here for a hundred years. After all, it was suppressed by the Sage Zhunti, so it is still very powerful.

However, Li Xiuyuan is a Quasi-Saint, and even at the Quasi-Saint level, he is a top-tier existence. Coupled with his application of the Law of Power, moving the mountain range is naturally a piece of cake for him.

A rumbling sound came from the ground. The Golden-Winged Roc, who had been lying on the ground, felt a weight lift off its shoulders. It was overjoyed that it could now walk, whereas it would have taken several more years to escape its predicament. However, when it thought of the Dragon Subduing Queen beside it, it felt a deep sense of loss.

"Chirp!"

The Golden-Winged Roc transformed into a golden eagle. Its entire body was golden, and its feathers shimmered like golden swords. However, due to years of suppression, it was clearly not in a good mood, as many of its feathers had fallen out, making it look rather unsightly.

The golden-winged roc flew to the two of them and asked, "Jianglong, what do you want? Don't think that you'll be grateful to me just because I've freed you."

As he spoke, he coldly revealed that Li Xiuyuan and Calabash Little Vajra had both left their original positions due to the movement of mountains and filling of seas.

Seeing the Golden-Winged Roc freed from its confinement, but then uttering those words, he was somewhat displeased and said coldly, "Insolent Roc, is this how you speak to me?"

As he spoke, his tiger-like eyes glared, his sharp gaze piercing directly into the soul, causing the golden-winged roc beside him to tremble with fear. Knowing the power of the headband, it naturally dared not say anything more.

Seeing the roc lower its proud head, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Roc, I'm lacking a mount for transportation. From now on, you'll stay by my side!"

Then he revealed his true intention: he wanted the roc to be his mount.

It is said that Li Xiuyuan once acquired two mounts in the Tang Dynasty and the Storm Riders series. Whether it was the Demon Dragon or the Fire Qilin, their current cultivation levels were too low. Even after a hundred years of growth, they were only at the Celestial Immortal level.

Li Xiuyuan was a quasi-saint. As you can see, all the other bodhisattvas had extraordinary mounts. He also wanted a cool mount, and he happened to come across the Roc, which made it into his heart.

"What? You want to take me as your mount?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Roc seemed incredulous. After all, he was the son of the first phoenix in the world, and even the sage Zhunti had never suggested making him his mount. Yet, Jianglong had said it.

The Golden-Winged Roc retorted without hesitation, "No, I am a primordial deity, how can I be someone else's mount?"

In this world today, there is probably no primordial deity who would have fallen to such a state!

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "What, do you want to experience the power of my headband?"

As he spoke, he coldly threatened that this tight headband was a means to subdue the other party; otherwise, why would Li Xiuyuan have wasted a primordial spiritual treasure on Dapeng?

"I...I..."

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Roc was speechless for a moment. It knew that while it didn't want to become Li Xiuyuan's mount, it didn't want to suffer the pain of the golden headband even more!

For a moment, the Golden-Winged Roc was caught in a dilemma.
