Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

After feeling the protection of the robe, the monk felt much more comfortable, and the dragon's roar further pushed back his opponent.

Jin Chanzi closed his eyes on the spot and began to mutter to himself.

I wonder if Sun Wukong would feel fear upon seeing this. Back on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, he had suffered quite a bit. Fortunately, Tang Sanzang was no longer chanting the Tightening-Headband Mantra, but rather the Demon-Subduing Mantra from Mahayana Buddhism.

However, if it were normal, it probably wouldn't be possible to do it this way, because this demon-subduing spell is indiscriminate and has no independent consciousness.

However, there was another reason why Jin Chanzi dared to use this spell at this time: his greatly improved power allowed him to control it properly. More importantly, although the evil dragon and the monk were also demons, fortunately, after merging with him, they carried a trace of his aura, which was the key to avoiding the spell.

Because the three dragons were closer together, they naturally suffered first. Under the influence of Jin Chanzi's demon-subduing spell, the giant azure dragon began to become restless, and the fear emanating from the depths of its heart made it somewhat unable to perfectly control its power.

In addition to the Golden Cicada, there was also the roar of the evil dragon as an aid. The cooperation between these two, no! It should be the cooperation between this man and the dragon, quickly caused the three dragons to lose their original power. Taking advantage of their weakness, the martial monk gathered his strength and broke through the predicament.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

Three striking sounds rang out as the monk's fists made contact with the dragon's limbs; the sounds were satisfying and powerful.

Having repelled the dragon's body, the martial monk regained his former vigor and stood beside Jin Chanzi, his eyes gleaming with an attitude that said, "Today I will fight you to the very end."

"Monk, are you alright?" Jin Chanzi seemed a little worried because the excessive pressure was really hard to bear, but fortunately, seeing that the other party's complexion and spirit were unusually excited, he was relieved.

This was the first time the monk had ever received such concern and greetings. Although he was a member of the demonic path, he was not someone who could indiscriminately kill innocent people.

In his heart, he had long held a firm belief: not to harm the innocent.

Chapter 944 Are you kidding me? Trying to win over a fence-sitter?!

Although the evil dragon and he were one, he had never seen the dragon show him any concern. Everyone needs this kind of care, which may come from family, friendship, or love, but it is all a fundamental need.

Now, thanks to the friendly concern from Jin Chanzi, the monk's body, which had been in some pain, has been greatly relieved.

This is not physical therapy, but more of a spiritual healing, and its existence is a very subtle thing.

When Xie Long saw Jin Chanzi showing concern for his brother, he became unusually excited and started to say somewhat unhappily, "Hey, are you alright? Let me check on you too."

The monk saw that this guy was still as cynical as ever. Others' concern was genuine, but this guy never cared about others, let alone anything else that could move people.

However, the way this guy looks is quite comical, but there's something to it about it.

Although the monk rolled his eyes at the guy, he was actually feeling pretty good inside. With these two loyal brothers by his side, what more could he ask for?

Thinking back on the past few hundred years, I realized that I had relied on the evil dragon for survival. Perhaps because time had slipped away unnoticed, I hadn't paid much attention to the problems that had arisen.

However, once this emotional need has been experienced, it cannot be easily discarded.

When Sun Wukong saw that his master had brought two very powerful fighters with him, he ran over to help.

He said, "Master, you are too amazing. Although you are not as good as Master Li Xiuyuan, you are still not bad. This martial monk, the evil dragon, is indeed exceptionally powerful."

Jin Chanzi was also helpless when he thought of Sun Wukong, who was usually disrespectful and had an outrageously bad temper. However, all of this could not hide the fact that Sun Wukong had risked his life to protect him when he needed him most.

At this moment, the evil dragon hovered above the heads of the three, and the four on the ground—Jin Chanzi, the martial monk, and Sun Wukong—were truly about to engage in a final, life-or-death struggle with their opponent.

When the Six-Eared Macaque saw that Sun Wukong had joined the enemy's camp, he returned to the side of the Red-Bottomed Macaque. These two monkeys, along with six complete dragons and three dragons that were still somewhat dazed, were quite a formidable force.

The Antarctic Longevity Emperor, standing motionless to the side, resembled an old man detached from worldly affairs.

However, both sides knew why this guy was acting this way. In fact, he was the most cunning person there, but he put on such an act, which was extremely disgusting.

This is a form of expression that the older generation cannot understand. They always think that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits, but they don't realize that the world is progressing and these younger generations are constantly growing. It is no longer a time when they can be manipulated by others.

So even if Jin Chanzi didn't speak, the two of them had a pretty good relationship before, and it would be quite embarrassing for Tang Seng to tear off their mask like this.

However, just because Jin Chanzi is easy to talk to doesn't mean that Sun Wukong and the Red-Bottomed Macaque are easy to talk to.

These two can be considered to be clever monkeys who have struggled for a very long time in this era of greed and greed. If they do not make progress by now, they will probably not live up to the name of clever monkeys.

Sun Wukong was even more upset because he had really needed the old man's help, but the old man had betrayed him for the sake of the current situation. For a straightforward guy like Sun Wukong, this was a huge blow.

Such a thing is simply unforgivable, because such a person is truly detestable. Even the way he is addressed has changed from "Laojun" to "Old Man" and now to "Old Man".

Sun Wukong would go through fire and water for someone who saved his life, but when faced with such a despicable person who betrayed him, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to want to tear him apart.

The same applies to the red-bottomed macaque. If things aren't made clear now, they might launch a counterattack after this hard-fought battle, reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

So, although the two sides are mortal enemies, they have reached a consensus on this matter. That is, to let him choose one side now, so that this guy will no longer be able to hold back during the battle.

And after this final battle, he no longer had the energy to harm others.

Therefore, Sun Wukong said, "Old man, although you betrayed Grandpa Sun just now, I'm in a good mood today and can let bygones be bygones. But now you need to see the situation clearly. If you come over and see the current situation, you can end the battle with a single slap."

After saying that, Sun Wukong chuckled, as if reminding the Antarctic Emperor to think things through carefully, or he might truly face eternal damnation.

Although the Red-Bottomed Macaque was a tough guy, he would have been willing to win over the opponent if he saw that the opponent's strength was even greater than his own. If the Antarctic Longevity Emperor was willing to come and help him, then this final battle was worth fighting.

However, if this old man were to join the enemy's ranks, this final battle today would be quite difficult. Although he feared any power deep down, he still needed to contribute manpower to the fight for the monsters.

Therefore, the Red-Bottomed Macaque said to the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, "Antarctic Lord, although the current situation is very clear, you really need to think carefully about where to place yourself, otherwise you won't get a share of this demonic creature."

The red-bottomed macaque, which usually almost never liked the Antarctic Emperor, addressed him as the friendly and amiable Antarctic Lord, out of necessity for the current situation.

Chapter 945 So arrogant, unifying the Three Realms is not a dream.

However, the last sentence is the most crucial part of this statement, which mentions the distribution of the demons: the demons—Yuan Tu and the two swords!

It's no wonder this red-bottomed macaque is a naturally clever monkey; it casually brought up the issue of how to distribute the two swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, which is the key point for everyone here.

The purpose of this trip is nothing more than to finally obtain the monster. Although this is the final battle, the one who gets the monster in the end will be the true victor.

Jin Chanzi and Sun Wukong in Buddhism certainly had no intention of considering this. Both of them were fighting for the benefit of Buddhism. If the Antarctic Longevity Emperor went there now and stood on his side, then even if they eventually defeated the Red-Bottomed Macaque and the Six-Eared Macaque.

Could this Antarctic Immortal Emperor possibly obtain the demonic creature from the hands of the martial monk, the evil dragon, Jin Chanzi, and Sun Wukong? The answer, of course, is: "Impossible!"

To try and get the Yuan Tu and Bi swords from those four people is simply a pipe dream.

However, if we can stabilize the situation now and cooperate with the Red-Bottomed Macaque and the Six-Eared Macaque in this demonic sect, then the problem might not be as we think.

Although both the Heavenly Palace and the Buddhist sect can be considered prestigious and righteous, and are considered to be one family of immortals and Buddhas, the situation has changed since the South Heavenly Gate incident.

Before the South Heavenly Gate incident, the Heavenly Palace could be considered to be part of the same family as Buddhism. However, because the Jade Emperor had entered the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, the question of dominating the Three Realms was just around the corner.

Because of the Buddha Tathagata and Dipankara Buddha, Li Xiuyuan had already expelled Buddhism from the sect, causing its power to plummet.

They became the weakest existence among the three realms—the Heavenly Palace, the Demonic Sect, and the Buddhist Sect. This was naturally a situation that the Buddhist sects did not wish to see.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor chose this easy target to manipulate, but thanks to Li Xiuyuan's machinations, the matter was not successful.

Although the Jade Emperor felt extreme hatred for Li Xiuyuan because of this incident, and even wanted to use his strength as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal to teach Li Xiuyuan a lesson.

However, unable to find the man, and unwilling to give up, he told the Three Pure Ones of Heaven about his intentions. Unexpectedly, the Three Pure Ones showed surprise upon hearing this.

He thought to himself, "You want to settle scores with Li Xiuyuan? Are you out of your mind? What are you thinking? Based on your supposed strength as a Grand Luo Golden Immortal? That's just wishful thinking, kid. Wake up."

Although the Three Pure Ones thought this way, since the other party was the apparent master of the Three Realms, they naturally had to give him some face. Therefore, they changed their tone and advised, "Please consider this as giving the Three Pure Ones some face, okay? Don't make any more trouble."

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones who had helped him had spoken up, the Jade Emperor naturally had to give them some face. Although he was in charge of the Heavenly Palace, they were the ones who created the Heavenly Court.

After satisfying his vanity, he said, "Actually, this matter is not unsolvable. You three elders all know that I have long since entered the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and this place of residence is a bit insufficient. Therefore, I think it is time for the Three Realms to be truly unified."

The Jade Emperor glanced at the expressions of the Three Pure Ones, thankfully without much reaction, and asked, "May I continue?" After all, there was still some inevitable connection between the Three Pure Ones of Heaven and the Two Sages of the Western Paradise. Although the Jade Emperor was now a Primordial Golden Immortal, he was not yet at the point where he should know about these mysterious existences. Therefore, he still needed to ask the old man's opinion.

The Three Pure Ones were naturally aware of the Jade Emperor's ambitions at this time. However, considering that the Jade Emperor could be used as their henchman to help them dominate the Three Realms, it was not a bad thing, so they did not refuse.

So, after discussing it with the other two, Lao Tzu pretended to be in a difficult position and said, "Jade Emperor, it is right that you have ambitions, but aren't you already in charge of the Three Realms?"

Although the Jade Emperor was not as quick-witted as Li Xiuyuan, he could still understand some of the unspoken meanings after being the Jade Emperor for so long. So he said, "Three Pure Ones, I know your concerns. Although the Three Realms are nominally under my control, there are some unspeakable things that are difficult to say. Do you understand?"

After the Jade Emperor entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, his attitude towards the three of them had changed significantly, which could be felt from his words. Therefore, the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances and decided to teach the Jade Emperor a lesson, so that he wouldn't think he could be so unrestrained just because he had entered the realm of a saint!

Lao Tzu continued, "Tell us what's troubling you, and we'll see if we can help you."

The Jade Emperor hurriedly said, "No, no, no, it's too much trouble for the Three Pure Ones. Your status is not something these fellows can bother with. I'll handle it."

The Jade Emperor had only gleaned a whiff of the meaning from the words of the Three Pure Ones, so how could he possibly believe that they truly wanted to help him dominate the Three Realms?

Although it is unclear why the Three Pure Ones seem to be so resistant to the idea of ​​dominating the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor still feels that he is now capable of such a thing, and therefore wants to monopolize the fruits of this power.

The Three Pure Ones smiled and said, "Since the Jade Emperor is so confident, then we won't say anything more. You can handle the unification of the Three Realms as you see fit. However, there is one thing you must promise us."

Chapter 946 My Brother Xiu Yuan is Just That Domineering

Hearing that the three old men did not object to his plan, the Jade Emperor was all smiles and said, "What is it? Sanqing, just tell me." After saying that, he clasped his hands and bowed slightly to show his respect for the three Pure Ones.

Seeing such a hypocritical fellow, Lao Tzu had no choice but to pretend and chuckle.

"This matter isn't actually difficult, as long as you don't get too hung up on it," Lao Tzu said, waving his hand.

"Please speak." The Jade Emperor's main purpose in coming here was to get the Three Pure Ones to agree to his plan. Now that he had achieved his biggest goal, he was overjoyed.

Lao Tzu said, "I know you've put in a lot of effort regarding the South Heaven Gate, but it's best if you don't cause trouble for Li Xiuyuan."

The Jade Emperor, who had been all smiles, instantly changed his expression upon hearing the name Li Xiuyuan, as if he had stepped in dog poop. He exclaimed, "Why? Why can't I touch Li Xiuyuan? Why weren't you told? I am now a Hunyuan..."

Before the Jade Emperor could finish speaking, Lao Tzu gestured for him to stop and slowly said, "I know what you want to say, and I know what you're thinking, but this matter is not as simple as you think."

Seeing the Jade Emperor's persistence, the Three Pure Ones were truly helpless. Why did this guy always want to cause trouble for Li Xiuyuan? They really couldn't understand why he loved to get into trouble so much.

Forget about your strength. You're so proud of your Grand Luo Golden Immortal level, thinking that this will solve everything.

If I could say it, I would really like to say: "This Li Xiuyuan is not the Li Xiuyuan you knew back then. Back then, Li Xiuyuan only had the strength of a Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal, yet he could beat you to a pulp."

I understand how you feel. What a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. Fortunately, you soon succeeded in reaching the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, which is something you can be proud of.

We initially thought Li Xiuyuan was just showing off his courage, but little did we know that his cultivation was beyond description. Words like "heaven-defying" or "monster" are not even worthy of evaluating him.

At this point, Li Xiuyuan had already stepped into the threshold of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm. You wanted to seek revenge because you felt that the other party had not reached the strength of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

But let me tell you, you're just a frog in a well, you know that? A frog in a well! Not only you, but the three of us seem to have underestimated this kid's abilities.
