Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Wutian first had some small skulls go in and out of the feet of the Heavenly Court's people. Some of them with low magical power were directly poisoned, and their flesh began to rot, turning into bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time the Jade Emperor realized what was happening, many heavenly soldiers had already died. Although the skulls were highly corrosive, they posed little threat to the immortals of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level and above. The remaining skulls were then destroyed by the combined efforts of the immortals.

Wutian, of course, wouldn't let those celestial beings off so easily; one wave subsided only for another to rise. After the skulls were destroyed, there were also some mummies wrapped up like rice dumplings.

These mummies are agile and quick, and more importantly, they cannot be killed, which has caused the immortals of Heaven to have a major headache.

Several Golden Immortals were wrapped together by mummies. Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, wanted to put these mummies into his pagoda, but the pagoda was blown up.

The Heavenly Court was thrown into turmoil, and the immortals were terrified. These mummies, however, could not be killed no matter how hard they were attacked. This situation lasted for a long time. Finally, the future Buddha Bodhidharma discovered that the eyes of these mummies were their fatal weakness.

Following the guidance of the future Buddha Bodhidharma, the celestial beings of Heaven focused their attack on the mummy's eyes, and together they managed to destroy it.

Originally, Bodhidharma Buddha had only come to investigate the situation, but seeing the enemy's powerful offensive, he realized it was clearly a conspiracy against them all.

He had no doubt that after they conquered the Heavenly Court, they would attack the Buddhist sect. That's why he chose to join forces with the Jade Emperor. In the face of external enemies, his previous personal grudges were nothing. They were determined to unite and defeat the enemy.

After the last wave of mummies was destroyed, the immortals discussed among themselves whether something major had happened in the Heavenly Court. They were all on edge, fearing that they might be frightened in the next second.

Time passed second by second, and there had been no movement since the mummy was destroyed. It was unclear whether this was the calm before the storm or just a farce.

"Hahahaha... Hahahahahaha..." Just when everyone thought things were about to return to normal, eerie laughter entered the ears of the immortals, causing them to have splitting headaches.

"Who is it? Who is playing tricks? Come out now!" The Jade Emperor's patience finally ran out. This feeling of being out of control had only been given to him by Li Xiuyuan, and no one else had ever given it to him.

Today, someone dared to challenge the emperor's authority; it is simply unforgivable.

"Hahahahahaha... Hahahahahaha..." The eerie laughter echoed throughout the Heavenly Court, causing everyone to feel uneasy.

Chapter 978 The Jade Emperor's Little Brat

"Jade Emperor, you little brat, I didn't expect you to be so capable. It seems I really overestimated you." Wutian used his invisibility technique to transmit his voice over thousands of miles to the ears of all the immortals. All the immortals below the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian bled from their seven orifices, unable to withstand the pain.

The Jade Emperor had only heard his voice, not seen him, and was eager to find him to resolve this awkward situation, only to discover that the other's magical power was superior to his own.

"Who are you, and why are you opposing my Heavenly Court?" As the Jade Emperor, the leader of the Three Realms, even if he was terrified inside, he still had to pretend to be calm and composed on the surface.

"Jade Emperor, who are they?" The Queen Mother of the West hid behind the Jade Emperor in fear. She had never seen such a situation before, having always been pampered and spoiled.

"You little brat, Jade Emperor, why don't you quickly have your subordinates surrender? Maybe then I can spare your life. Hahahaha..." Wutian used his teleportation technique to its fullest extent, making his voice seem to come from all directions, with no one knowing the source of the sound.

"You worthless scoundrel, stop spouting nonsense here! Show yourself at once!" A short-tempered fairy, unable to bear the insults from the past five days, couldn't help but shout.

Of course, his words expressed the thoughts of all the immortals, but Wutian was extremely dissatisfied and decided to teach that little immortal a lesson.

Wutian slowly descended from the sky above the main hall, followed by Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng leading their troops from the South Heavenly Gate and North Heavenly Gate into the main hall.

"Ah!" As Wutian descended, he released a bolt of lightning, which lightly landed on the little fairy. With a shrill scream, the little fairy was blasted into ashes by the lightning.

Seeing that Wutian acted swiftly and decisively, none of the immortals dared to speak up and be the first to stick their necks out. Everyone understood that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and they all knew that Wutian was making an example of them.

"You little brat, Jade Emperor, don't you recognize your grandfather?" Wutian looked at the Jade Emperor, who sat in the head seat, with disdain and spoke rudely.

In fact, he had been eyeing that position for a long time. In Wutian's mind, the Jade Emperor was not very capable and was very arrogant. He really didn't know how he got to that position. He had been in it for so long and still hadn't made any progress. It was really time to replace him.

"You shameless scoundrel, how arrogant you are! I will capture you at once! Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the imperial decree to arrest this traitor!" Erlang Shen volunteered. He wanted to seize this opportunity to make a great contribution and thus gain promotion and wealth.

He hadn't expected that the pressure Wutian had just released would almost be unbearable for him. His low strength and desire to make a great contribution resulted in him being knocked down to the eighteenth level of hell by Wutian in a single move.

More and more deities volunteered to fight Wutian, but they were all defeated in one move.

Seeing this, Bodhidharma knew things were going badly. The person who came to challenge him was a tough opponent, and he didn't know if he had any chance of winning. He was very uncertain, as this person was too dangerous.

At this moment, Emperor Donghua, Emperor Ziwei, Yuanshi Tianzun, Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, the Three Pure Ones, and Laozi rushed over and had a bad feeling when they saw the chaotic scene.

The group joined forces to fight Wutian. They fought for three days and three nights without a clear winner. At this moment, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng arrived with their subordinates, and a great battle instantly broke out in the Heavenly Court.

At this time, Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang had just emerged from the underworld and were on their way to find Zhu Bajie. They were unaware of everything that had happened in the Heavenly Court.

On their journey to find the relic, Pigsy and Dragon Xiangtian entered a village and happened to encounter a Dragon King Temple Fair. Dragon Xiangtian sensed a dragon pearl nearby and discussed with Pigsy about stopping there to search for it.

In the southern part of the city, a merchant family was holding a martial arts contest to find a husband for their daughter. Pigsy saw that the woman was beautiful and had evil intentions.

"Hey! Look how beautiful that woman is, let's go take a look." Pigsy pulled Dragon Sky and Sandy toward the arena.

Next to the arena was a sign advertising a martial arts contest to find a husband, which made Pigsy very excited. At that moment, two men on the arena were starting a martial arts contest to find a husband. Upon seeing this, Pigsy immediately jumped onto the arena and threw the men off the arena with his left and right hands.

These mortal men were no match for Zhu Bajie. With just a light toss, they rolled their eyes and fainted.

This action dampened the enthusiasm of some people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and marry the wealthy merchant's daughter, while others who considered themselves skilled in martial arts and were greedy for money were still willing to fight him.

"Anyone else? Come up and fight me, Old Pig!" Pigsy stood on the arena, head held high, chest puffed out, and slammed his nine-toothed rake into the arena.

The crowd below shuddered in fear, whispering among themselves, "It seems Miss Duan is going to marry this man today, but why is he so brutish?" They looked at the two people blown to pieces on the ground; they were incredibly brutal. They wondered if Miss Duan could handle it.

On the arena, Pigsy wielded his nine-toothed rake with great power, defeating all his opponents with a single move. Little did he know that many people were beaten to death by his single strike.

He stood on the stage, smugly, oblivious to the fact that he didn't even respond when Long Xiangtian and Sha Wujing called to him.

"Brother Pig, Brother Pig, get down here quickly, you'll kill someone if you keep fighting like this..." Long Xiangtian stood anxiously below the arena, but Pigsy on the platform was too caught up in the victory to hear Long Xiangtian's call.

"Brother Pig, come down here quickly!" After seeing Pigsy knock down another group of people, Long Xiangtian finally couldn't help but rush onto the stage to stop Pigsy.

All of this was observed by Miss Duan, who was standing in the attic. The daughter of a wealthy merchant was named Duan Zhenzhu. She was a woman who was both literate and skilled in martial arts. She was also very beautiful and hoped to marry a handsome man with extraordinary martial arts skills.

She had originally thought that the champion today would be that crude man on stage, and she had decided that if that man really won, she would refuse to marry him, and her father wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better at the last moment. A handsome man flew onto the stage and stopped the vulgar man. That man was Long Xiangtian.

Chapter 979: Martial Arts Competition

The moment Long Xiangtian flew onto the stage, Duan Zhenzhu's heart raced, and she felt breathless. She knew that the man she wanted was him, her true love.

Just as Long Xiangtian and Zhu Bajie flew off the stage, an old man invited them back to the Duan residence. Zhu Bajie, eager to win the heart of the beauty, happily went there, while Sha Wujing, Long Xiangtian, and Ouyang Lan were all dragged there by Zhu Bajie.

After Zhu Bajie and Long Xiangtian arrived at the Duan residence, the old man led them to the main hall and then disappeared.

Then a woman of unparalleled beauty emerged from the main hall. She was dressed in a purple gauze dress, with bright eyebrows and white teeth, and was exceptionally beautiful. She walked gracefully to Long Xiangtian's side, bowed, and called out, "Young Master."

Pigsy was still fantasizing about the woman throwing herself into his arms and praising him, but he didn't expect the woman to walk straight to Dragon Xiangtian's side.

Pigsy thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and opened them again. Sure enough, the woman had walked up to Long Xiangtian. Instantly, a flock of crows flew through his mind, and a thousand words flashed through his head: "Fuck you!"

"Miss, have you come to the wrong place and called the wrong person?" Pigsy shamelessly rekindled his hope. At this moment, he desperately wished that the woman would come to his side and call him Young Master Pig.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Imagination is always beautiful, but reality is always cruel. The woman turned around and glanced at Zhu Bajie, then squeezed closer to Long Xiangtian, pushing Ouyang Lan, who was originally next to him, out of the way. "This is the young master I'm looking for. I haven't come to the wrong person."

Perhaps the fat young master is more skilled in martial arts, but anyone with discerning eyes can tell which one to choose. Duan Mingzhu looked at Long Xiangtian with deep affection.

Pigsy cursed inwardly, but he was powerless to do anything about it. He never expected that he, Pigsy, would be so uncharming that he couldn't even charm a mortal woman. What a failure! It seems he must disguise himself next time.

Pigsy secretly regretted not transforming himself into a handsome man first. Now he could only watch Long Xiangtian with envy and jealousy.

If it were Pigsy or any other man, he wouldn't refuse such a beautiful woman's advances. However, the object of her affections was Long Xiangtian, who only had eyes for one person. This truly put him in a difficult position, leaving him stunned for a moment.

This was witnessed by Ouyang Lan, who was standing nearby. She felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that Long Xiangtian had no intention of pushing the woman in his arms away, Ouyang Lan felt very wronged and her heart ached. She turned around and ran out of the Duan residence.

After Ouyang Lan ran away, Long Xiangtian finally realized what had happened. He pushed the woman in his arms away and apologized, "Miss, I'm sorry, but I already have someone in my heart, the young lady from just now."

After saying that, he chased after Ouyang Lan, but by the time he got there, Ouyang Lan had already disappeared.

Duan Mingzhu felt very uncomfortable when Long Xiangtian rejected her. She blamed everything on Ouyang Lan, believing that Ouyang Lan was the one who blocked her love and that it was because of her that Long Xiangtian refused her.

"Miss." Pigsy looked at Duan Mingzhu, who had been rejected by Long Xiangtian, and felt secretly pleased, thinking that he had a chance! But as soon as he opened his mouth, Duan Mingzhu left without looking back.

Li Xiuyuan was currently cultivating in the void. He still had much to do, and he could feel that the energy within his body was abundant, seemingly inexhaustible. Now he was more familiar with the laws of the world and the laws of space. The small world he created was full of spiritual energy, and everyone could practice martial arts and cultivate. This realization made him very happy and even more eager to explore new secrets.

Furthermore, after leaving the Duan family, Ouyang Lan accidentally entered the Monster Forest. The monsters in the Monster Forest are very ferocious, and many of them are ferocious beasts that have not yet awakened their intelligence.

This magical beast forest is separated by a barrier, and ordinary people would not accidentally enter it. For some reason, Ouyang Lan unknowingly entered the magical beast forest at noon.

Long Xiangtian brushed past her. Just as she stepped into the Monster Forest, Long Xiangtian appeared, but he did not find any trace of Ouyang Lan.

Entering from the same place, Ouyang Lan entered the Demon Beast Forest, which even Great Luo Golden Immortals dared not easily step into, while Long Xiangtian entered an ordinary mountain forest.

Although there are ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, they have no spiritual power and are just ordinary beasts. For Long Xiangtian, an immortal who has just entered the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Loose Immortal, they are not worth mentioning.

Long Xiangtian originally came to find Ouyang Lan, but the further he went into the mountains and forests, the more he felt the energy of the relic was nearby. Driven by instinct, Long Xiangtian gradually walked to the center of the mountains and forests.

At this moment, a tiger appeared. What was suspicious was that this tiger had awakened its intelligence. Upon closer inspection, it was different from other ferocious beasts; this tiger actually possessed the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Unlike humans, beasts are different. When a tiger reaches the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it can actually be compared with a Hunyuan Great Luo Loose Immortal. Because it is a ferocious beast, its attack power is inherently stronger than that of humans. In addition, its tough skin and flesh have a built-in defense system, which greatly increases its strength.

Before Long Xiangtian could react, the tiger pounced, trying to knock him to the ground. But Long Xiangtian wasn't about to let him succeed so easily. He struck out with his palm, forcing the tiger back a step.

This palm strike angered the tiger, which bared its teeth and became even more ferocious. For a moment, the man and the tiger were evenly matched. Facing the tiger, which was like a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Long Xiangtian actually felt a trace of pressure.

For a period of time, Long Xiangtian was actually held back by the tiger. The tiger, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, was definitely not as strong as a Hunyuan Grand Luo Loose Immortal. Realizing this, Long Xiangtian decided to use delaying tactics to stall the tiger.

The tiger, however, was aware of the difference between itself and the man opposite it. It had already awakened its intelligence and intended to defeat the enemy with a fierce attack.

Long Xiangtian was not about to let him have his way. He could see a man and a tiger in the mountains, putting on a good show of chasing each other.

Chapter 980 Warcraft Forest

Long Xiangtian's figure flew like the wind, and the tiger followed closely behind, not to be outdone, but it was no match for Long Xiangtian's speed.

A day and a night passed, and the tiger continued to follow the dragon, charging headlong into the sky. To ensure it wouldn't be shaken off, it used all its might, not even having time to dodge the branches around it, and managed to scratch several bloody marks on its massive body.

The tiger slowed down and then turned and ran away. Perhaps it sensed that its strength was gradually waning and knew that if it fought Long Xiangtian head-on, it would only get injured.

Long Xiangtian felt the wire behind him disappear. He turned around and saw that the tiger had run away in another direction. Long Xiangtian knew that the relic was on the tiger and he must not let it go.

The ending took a turn; it went from one tiger chasing one person to one person chasing one tiger.

The tiger knew that Long Xiangtian was hot on its heels, so it secretly increased its speed. If it could speak now, it would definitely be crying and cursing. Its heart was breaking. If it had known that this person was so troublesome and difficult to deal with, it would not have provoked him. But now it was too late to regret it.

Long Xiangtian struck a tiger not far in front of him with a palm, breaking the tiger's leg. The tiger lay on the ground, unable to get up, letting out a painful whimper, which startled a flock of birds.
