Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. If back then, when I only had the strength of a Grand Luo Immortal, these three would have already founded the Heavenly Court and held high positions of power.

Although he was the master of the Heavenly Palace, he couldn't ignore their feelings. But now that he had broken through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, this was no small matter for them.

So even if they don't fawn over me, it's only right that they give me a second glance.

However, things did not turn out that way.

Behind all of this is Li Xiuyuan. When he came to this world, he displayed the power of a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal. If it were anyone else, they might only be seen as, "Oh, you're a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal too?" by the Three Pure Ones.

But if it were Li Xiuyuan, they would be completely astonished.

Putting aside how long it would take for Li Xiuyuan to cultivate, they were well aware of his abnormally rapid progress. They hadn't heard from him since their last separation, and now, in such a short time, he had already broken through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

You say you've broken through, fine, but last time, one of the Three Pure Ones had his treasure taken away by Li Xiuyuan, a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the time.

He had no temper at all, and belatedly realized that he wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but found that although he was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, the other party, with the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal, somehow managed to withstand his attack.

What does this mean? It means skipping two levels in a row. This is an unprecedented case.

So this time, even I dare not take my anger out on Li Xiuyuan. Last time, when they found out that Li Xiuyuan was unwilling to be their puppet, they decided that he could not be kept. But they never expected that Li Xiuyuan was already a Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal, fearless and emboldened.

I'm just one sentence away from saying, "I'll still beat you even if I'm a higher level, so what!"

Now that Li Xiuyuan has returned as a saint, he has agreed not to cause trouble in the Three Realms, on the condition that the Three Pure Ones of Heaven and the Two Saints of the Western Paradise do not interfere. Otherwise, he will turn his back on them.

For some unknown reason, these five Grand Luo Golden Immortals couldn't muster the courage to say no to Li Xiuyuan, a newcomer who had just entered the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Of course, if no one interferes, both the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect think it's best to leave it alone. After all, their Heavenly Palace and Buddhist sect have been established for so long that even if Li Xiuyuan brings people, they probably won't cause any major trouble.

Therefore, when the Jade Emperor came to request help, the Three Pure Ones decisively refused. The reason was simple: you're already a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and you still need our help?

I'm definitely going to be turned away!

Chapter 859 A Lucky Girl

The Jade Emperor was humiliated by being turned away, but given the man's status and power, there was nothing he could say.

If things really fall out, it would be a case of losing more than you gain.

The Jade Emperor shook his head, pulling his thoughts back to the present.

Upon hearing Yang Jian say, "That force that appeared in the southeast is not on the same side as our old rival, the Buddhist sect,"

This was what the Jade Emperor was most worried about, and he hurriedly asked: What do you mean?

My nephew, while secretly observing, witnessed two members of the underworld fighting with the Buddhist monks Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. In the end, both were injured and returned to the Western Paradise.

"Oh, is that so? It's good that they're not on the same side." Seeing the Jade Emperor seemed reassured, and Yang Jian asked.

No way! The Buddhist sect has boundless Buddhist teachings, would they really team up with those dark forces?! This is really overturning his worldview.

You're too naive. There's no such thing as a truly righteous path or a criminal underworld in this world. All that matters is power; whoever has the strongest fist is right. But looking at it now, as long as those two groups aren't allies, things are much better for us.

However, it wasn't just the two people in the Lingxiao Palace who were thinking about Li Xiuyuan in this Heavenly Palace.

The mica screen reflects the deep candlelight, the Milky Way fades as the morning star sinks. Chang'e must regret stealing the elixir, her heart yearning for the blue sea and sky night after night. For a peerless beauty like her, such praise of her captivating beauty was commonplace, taken for granted.

Even the Jade Emperor, the master of the Heavenly Palace, harbored some affection for her. Of course, he also knew that the Jade Emperor was blinded by her beauty and unable to control his animalistic desires.

Chang'e always rejected such people without a second glance. But what was wrong with her today?

Since parting ways with Li Xiuyuan last time, behind this mysterious and powerful man, he had witnessed his confrontation with the Jade Emperor. His aura was unapproachable and domineering.

However, he is incredibly meticulous when it comes to women, never neglecting them and always taking their needs into consideration.

I remember saying that from that day on, Chang'e would be mine, and you were not allowed to bother her anymore.

These words kept replaying in Chang'e's mind. What kind of promise was this? Was it because she felt so pitiful and needed pity? Or did the promise actually have some affection for her?

She couldn't quite grasp Li Xiuyuan's thoughts. When had she ever felt such a strong urge to yearn for him? Only with this mysterious Li Xiuyuan, perhaps.

When the jade rabbit saw its master, who was lost in thought, it knew that he must have been thinking of that great god.

He teased, "Oh dear, my young lady is lovesick again, isn't she? Look at her blushing face, she looks just like a shy and bashful young lady."

Hearing the Jade Rabbit teasing her like this, Chang'e pretended to be angry and said: Jade Rabbit, how dare you make fun of me like this? Let's see how I deal with you.

And so, the two, one servant and one master, began to stage a race between geese and rabbits.

However, if Li Xiuyuan knew that he was being remembered by such a beauty, he would definitely go into shameless mode again, exaggerating his own boundless handsomeness.

My brother is really something when it comes to being shameless!

However, beyond pretty girls, he yearns even more deeply for the path of cultivation.

So, from the very beginning, after arriving in this world of Journey to the West sequel, he sent out Wutian, Tianlong, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Liu Er Mihou, the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect, and others, letting them struggle and fight on their own.

He acted like a hands-off manager, completely abandoning his duties.

Because he knew that he had done everything he could, and the rest was up to them to develop on their own. Others were not important. As long as his good and evil corpses could break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, then he would have come in vain.

From the very beginning, he sensed that this world still existed, an existence comparable to the heavens.

No, he didn't know what kind of pressure the Three Pure Ones of Heaven and the Two Sages of the Western Paradise could bring him, but the feeling of always being under the sight of others was simply very unpleasant to him.

Since I began my Buddhist practice, when have I ever been treated like this?

I'm going to fight you to the very end, even challenging the heavens! If I don't turn your Three Realms upside down, I'm not Li Xiuyuan. Thinking this, he accelerated his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao.

Li Xiuyuan, after breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, was different from others. He possessed numerous treasures and secret techniques.

However, what makes him most proud is that he now has the resources to begin cultivating at a higher level in the laws of time and space.

In his mind, once he truly mastered it, he would be able to ruin the world. Time travel, fast-forwarding, spatial superposition, reversal, fragmentation, and so on—he wanted to try everything he could think of, transforming himself into a director on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This isn't the original Earth; I was just a complete loser, with no money and no power. I've always lived at the bottom of society, watching those female celebrities on TV, and hearing about all the unspoken rules and power struggles.

As a seasoned lecher, he naturally wanted to try it once or twice. However, despite this, Li Xiuyuan had a famous saying: "Buddha is a man of deep feelings; spiritual pleasure surpasses physical climax!"

Ahem, let's get back to the point. Li Xiuyuan noticed that his ears were quite red. Had someone been saying bad things about him?

Wait, something doesn't seem right. Shouldn't it be some stunningly beautiful woman who's thinking about me? It's all that woman's fault for disturbing the Buddha's rules. I need to cultivate properly, correct my thoughts and attitude, and strive towards the Heavenly Dao!

Who knows what she's thinking? After I'm done, she'll come and have sex with me for seven days and seven nights. That's why Zhang Huimei has a song about seven days and seven nights of high energy.

In the blink of an eye, in the Western Paradise, after Jin Chanzi's all-out treatment, the Buddhist teachings of the kasaya were truly different.

Pigsy, who had been screaming in pain, and Sandy, who had suffered internal injuries, were now as energetic as ever, completely unaffected, having shaken off all their fatigue.

Chapter 860 The Ouyang Family and the Long Family

I, Old Pig, am back again. Feeling the power within my fist, I can't help but feel wonderful.

Jin Chanzi finished his practice and smiled, "I'm getting old. You two are no longer in serious condition. However, I still hope you can go to Chang'an again. I think there's definitely more to it than meets the eye. You must be very careful."

If Pigsy were given the choice between listening to Tang Sanzang's lectures or going on a business trip, he would definitely choose the latter.

Before he could even finish giving instructions, he grabbed Sha Wujing and said, "Master told us to go to Chang'an City, did you hear that?"

The adorable-looking Sha Wujing had already been dragged away.

Tang Sanzang said helplessly: This pig's head is becoming more and more like you, Wukong.

What? You managed to hit yourself with that? Master, your skills seem to have improved again. Sun Wukong shook his head helplessly.

Joking aside, Tang Sanzang quickly used his powers to send his instructions via telepathy to Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy, naturally carrying out his master's instructions, brought Sandy to Chang'an again to investigate. However, after what happened last time, Pigsy now looked at Sandy with righteous indignation.

He said, "You said we were utterly defeated last time, isn't it a bit too carefree for us to enter Chang'an like this now?"

Sha Wujing, seeing Zhu Bajie's earnest expression, was truly taken aback. He then asked, "So, Second Brother, what brilliant idea do you have?"

We should naturally keep something in reserve, shall we?

As he spoke, Pigsy gestured for Sandy to lean in. After a few whispered words, they began to walk toward the largest tailor shop in the capital.

If being pretentious were an MVP award in modern times, then Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) would definitely be a winner.

Because he entered the changing room right under Sha Wujing's nose, for an hour.

This kept Sha Wujing waiting for quite a while. He had only changed his clothes and tidied up his appearance, but he never expected that his second brother was simply a beautiful woman reincarnated, and he would never stop dressing up.

Half an hour passed, and Sha Wujing looked back at the curtain, which remained motionless.

He shook the slingshot helplessly, but after an hour, there was still no movement.

This is at least the good-tempered Curtain-Rolling General. If Sun Wukong were here, I don't believe Zhu Bajie would still make people wait like this.

It's true, honest people get bullied.

However, just as Sha Wujing got up, a man slowly walked out of the changing room. In modern terms, he was practically a pretty boy.

If this were in the 21st century, she would definitely be a master at finding countless wealthy women.

And you know what? After a major overhaul, even Sha Wujing almost didn't recognize his second senior brother.

She ditched her sloppy hairstyle for a clean and tidy braid. Her pig nose, snout, and ears were all replaced, and her skin was incredibly smooth—even a lotus just emerging from the water would be left in the dust.

After a series of major changes, Pigsy confidently strutted around the streets and alleys of Chang'an with Sandy, attracting the attention of countless young women.

The rate of people turning their heads to look at us skyrocketed!

Sha Wujing nudged him awkwardly, saying, "Second Brother, is this really okay? Didn't you say it was just to cover your tracks? Now, it feels like you're trying to pick up girls."

Hearing that his junior brother Sha had interrupted him while he was admiring himself, he said unhappily, "You don't understand, have you ever heard the saying?"

"What?" Sha Wujing was very curious to know what other words his second brother could use to explain.
