Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

After giving a "yes" in agreement, he transformed into a streak of blue light and disappeared from the Lingxiao Palace.

The dispatch of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor was an extremely secretive matter. It could be said that apart from the Jade Emperor and the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, no one else knew about it except for the one-way communication.

Tianlong's understanding of this strange phenomenon was just as the Jade Emperor had said: it was definitely something extraordinary, a sign of something new being born. However, what kind of food would appear in the southeast remained a mystery to Tianlong.

However, anyone who isn't a fool would know that the other party would definitely make a move, so the Heavenly Dragon Buddha naturally summoned Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong as well.

After explaining the situation in detail and understanding its importance, he was immediately dispatched, as everyone knew that this matter was of great significance.

However, the Demonic Sect, being located in the southeast, has a natural advantage due to their proximity. Of course, Wutian isn't a fool; for such an important matter, he would either handle it personally or send out his most powerful servant, the Six-Eared Macaque.

Of the three parties, the Heavenly Palace sent the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, a peak-level Grand Luo Immortal.

The Buddhist sect sent two people: Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong, both of whom were Great Immortals of Hunyuan.

There is only one Demonic Sect, the Six-Eared Macaque. With such a distribution of power, how will they unfold an epic treasure-hunting battle?

Chapter 863: Gathering of the Four Directions

Not only the Jade Emperor and Tianlong, but also Wutian and the other two sensed the situation in the southeast. Even Li Xiuyuan, who was in seclusion in the Pangu Palace, was attracted by its domineering aura.

However, after hearing Li Xiuyuan's explanation of the aura he released, they understood what was really going on.

If Li Xiuyuan were a Grand Luo Immortal at this moment, he would definitely make a move to obtain this treasure. However, he is currently cultivating the laws of time and space.

This is a function that brings more surprises than any innate spiritual treasure.

If Li Xiuyuan had to choose, he would definitely choose time and space. After all, the existence of the world is composed of time and space, which can be considered the essence of the Dao.

No matter how powerful this treasure is, for Li Xiuyuan, who understands it now, everything must return to the beginning. Therefore, after smiling slightly, he closed his eyes again and continued to comprehend its mysteries.

However, it must be said that this spatial law is a law that gives Li Xiuyuan desire. The deeper he comprehends it, the more he feels his own insignificance.

Thinking back to how I started by jumping short distances, then moved on to medium and long distances, and finally traversed large areas, I realized that if I wanted to, I could appear in front of Wutian and Tianlong in no time.

No, it's seconds!

This is the power of the laws of space and time. Now, Li Xiuyuan believes that if he wants to break through, he must make a breakthrough in this area. Otherwise, what kind of existence is the so-called Heavenly Dao? After breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, he has never stopped exploring it, but unfortunately, he still has no clue.

However, thinking of his evil corpse, he had a World-Destroying Demon Lotus and a God-Slaying Spear as protective treasures. But this benevolent corpse, the Heavenly Dragon Buddha, only had a few martial arts techniques given to him by himself, such as the Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal, Om Mani Padme Hum, and the Nine Syllable Mantra Hand Seal. He couldn't help but feel that it was a bit lacking.

If someone else said these words, it would seem a bit exaggerated. Such advanced technology was belittled by Li Xiuyuan as if it were worthless.

Therefore, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Li Xiuyuan to take this opportunity to let the Heavenly Dragon Buddha take the newly born innate spiritual treasure.

Li Xiuyuan, still engrossed in his contemplation, seemed to have a premonition of everything that would happen in the future, so he stopped worrying about it.

In the blink of an eye, in Chang'an, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, who had split into three groups, stayed in an inn in the south of the city. Yang Jian and Erlang Shen found an inn in the east of the city. As for Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, whether it was arranged, predestined or due to other factors, they stayed in an inn in the west of the city.

Pigsy still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, leaving Sandy speechless. He had spent the whole day with this brother who didn't seem like his own, and he was almost driven to madness.

However, recalling the conversation between the young master of the Long family and the girl who had taken his money, which he had seen on the street during the day, he asked in confusion, "Second Senior Brother, what's the deal with this Long family? Or is this girl just making up lies to cheat us out of our money?"

Pigsy couldn't help but roll his eyes at Sandy and said, "You're supposed to be a golden-bodied Arhat on Mount Ling in the Western Paradise, how come you can't even tell whether a mortal's words are true or false?"

“But Master, didn’t we say that we can’t abuse our magic powers when we’re out and about? Why are you doing this?” Sha Wujing looked at Zhu Bajie as if he had suffered a great injustice.

However, Zhu Bajie knew that his junior brother Sha was simple-minded, while his senior brother was quick-witted. He pretended to be a wise monk and said, "You'll need your second senior brother to give you a good lesson."

Pigsy sat up straight and looked at Sandy, saying, "Hello, was there any unusual phenomenon in the sky when that young master of the Dragon family was born?"

Sha Wujing nodded.

"And then, when Long Xiangtian turned one year old, he didn't choose any of the items on the table three times, right?"

Sha Wujing nodded again.

"And now, because of Long Xiangtian, the Long family, which initially had no advantage, has actually aroused the jealousy of the Ouyang family."

"Jealousy?" Sha Wujing was somewhat puzzled.

"You idiot, I think you've lost your ambition. Even your second brother can be so smart now, why can't you be?" Seeing Sha Wujing's blank expression, Zhu Bajie admitted it.

If you were to show Pigsy (Zhu Bajie) the times when Sun Wukong called him an idiot, I wonder if he would think of Sandy (Sha Wujing).

"Didn't you notice that while we were dressed up like this and talking to that girl, there were other people on the roof? And it wasn't just one group, it was three groups."

"Three groups?" Sha Wujing really didn't realize that such a thing existed; he didn't even know about it.

"Hey idiot, keep your voice down! But among these three groups, there's a familiar aura. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, who fought us last time. And there's Old Pig who feels very familiar, but I just can't remember who he is."

"Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng are here too? What are they doing in Chang'an again?" Sha Wujing asked.

"If we can come back here, why can't they? Don't interrupt me!" Pigsy looked at his junior brother Sandy with disdain. When did he become so stupid, while he himself was so clever?

After a cold laugh, Pigsy continued, "The third group consists of mortals."

“A mortal? You mean…” Before Sha Wujing could finish speaking, Zhu Bajie covered his mouth.

At that moment, a presence appeared in his room, coming from his direction.

This was none other than none other than Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, who arrived slowly as if on cue.

Chapter 864 Is being gay really a lifesaver?

During the day, since Zhu Bajie could sense Bu Jingyun and the other person, it was only natural that they would discover him.

As the other person's presence grew closer, and their footsteps were practically right outside his door, Pigsy stopped caring about anything else.

If he could simply hide, he wouldn't have used this method. However, considering that the other party was able to find this place, it meant they had a rather strong ability to detect presence.

Why not just stage an empty city ruse right now?

Suddenly, Pigsy grabbed Sandy and threw him onto the bed. Before Sandy could even speak, Pigsy pounced on him.

In Sha Wujing's mind, tens of thousands of grass mud horses were galloping through his head. Was his first time really going to be lost like this? Heavens above, earth below, this is so damn unfair!

Just in case, Pigsy covered himself with the blanket.

This completely shattered Sha Wujing's hopes, and the story ended little by little as darkness enveloped everything.

However, there are always gains and losses; the world is fair. Nie Feng is not like Bu Jingyun; he doesn't care about elegant manners at all. In his eyes, completing the mission is the most important thing.

On one occasion, at the height of his power, he even slept with women to complete his mission. Only true strength could subdue such a barbarian.

The two who broke down the door thought they would finally meet their main target: the Buddhist altar purifier and the golden Arhat. This would be a great achievement.

However, what came into view next was a handsome young man lying on the bed, covered with a blanket, fidgeting as if the whole bed was about to shake and creak, as if it was about to collapse, about to reach a new height in his life.

At this moment, Pigsy thought to himself that even if he had to risk everything, he couldn't let himself be exposed. If he got caught this time, he would have no chance of escape.

The reason I was able to escape using the earth shield last time was because the two opponents were completely unprepared for me.

Human physiology works in this way: memory and conditioned reflexes occur simultaneously. As long as something leaves a deep impression, even if the brain does not issue a command, the body's instincts will begin to kick in.

But now, if the two Buddhist monks were to be seen through at this moment, they would face endless darkness.

Pigsy pretended as if his good time had been interrupted, and then shrank back rapidly just as he was about to feel the disturbance, looking unhappy and angry.

He said: Who exactly are you? How dare you disturb my good time like this? If you cause me any illness or psychological trauma, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and never let you go.

Classic lines from martial arts dramas are popping up again.

Although Nie Feng was domineering, he had never encountered such a situation before. As for Bu Jingyun, he was truly embarrassed, since he had indeed disturbed others.

Moreover, what Bu Jingyun saw at this moment was not Zhu Bajie and his companion, and he no longer appeared self-righteous.

Sha Wujing, who was under the blanket, was initially struggling, but after the conversation, he naturally understood what was going on and began to cooperate.

She adopted a woman's voice and said sharply, "Husband, who is ruining our good time? Let me teach him a lesson."

Pigsy was startled by the sudden, affected voice, but quickly cooperated without being noticed: "Wife, no need, your husband will handle it." At this moment, however, you are... well, if someone sees you, wouldn't that be letting them get away with it?

After saying that, he immediately turned to Bu Jingyun and said: What do you want now? Do you really want me to teach you a lesson, or do you want to call out all the neighbors to judge?

Because Pigsy knew that of the two, only Bu Jingyun was capable of thinking. Since they hid on the rooftop during the day and had a force no weaker than theirs, if he really caused a big scene, it would disrupt their plans.

Sure enough, just as Pigsy was speaking eloquently, Nie Feng was contemplating killing these two worthless mortals on the spot with a single blow.

Bu Jingyun spoke up, saying, "Young master, please don't mind. We were rash in this matter. If we have disturbed you, I apologize on behalf of my brother. You are all very magnanimous, so please forgive us..."

As he spoke, Bu Jingyun slowly took out something that looked like silver from his hand. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Bu Jingyun thought that as long as it could be solved with money, it was no big deal.

After saying that, he very rationally took the opportunity to put down his wallet, called Nie Feng, and prepared to leave.

This certainly met Pigsy's expectations. Anyone who isn't a fool would know that he shouldn't have pursued the matter so relentlessly, but his immediate lowering of his stance inevitably aroused the other party's suspicion.

He then deliberately spoke loudly: "Wife, look, these two thieves, under my intimidation, obediently compensated us and left. Tomorrow I'll use this money to take you to eat delicious food, and buy you whatever you see."

Sha Wujing: Husband, you are so amazing! I, I, I love you to death.

This infuriated Nie Feng, who overheard the conversation. He thought, "These two scoundrels are unbelievable!" He angrily said, "Why did you stop me? I should have just killed them with one blow and ended it all."

Bu Jingyun slowly explained: "Killing them is easy, but we're not the only ones in this capital city right now. You sensed it during the day; there's another force, likely from the Heavenly Palace, above us. If we attract them, we won't be able to complete our lord's mission."

Upon hearing about Lord Wutian's mission and the effects of Bu Jingyun's wisdom last time, Nie Feng fell silent. Bu Jingyun also said nothing more, knowing that Nie Feng understood and that he now needed to plan the next step.

Chapter 865 European Assassination of the Dragon

However, a question lingered in his mind: he sensed that Pigsy's presence was right here, so why couldn't he find him? Could it be that he was mistaken?

At that moment, they had no idea. The person right in front of them was the one they had been searching for, but they never imagined that people in this world would use such a tactic.

Having never experienced life in the 21st century, how could they have imagined that under the influence of Li Xiuyuan, this super-duper rogue, everyone who had come into contact with him was so affected?

That thuggish aura was just awful.

After the two left, Sha Wujing immediately jumped down. At this moment, he admired his second brother so much. If Zhu Bajie had been more courageous and responsible on the journey to the West, he would have been a hero.
