Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"Waaaaah~~~ My phone, it's broken just like that?" Yu Tu was still a little incredulous. She had accidentally dropped her phone on the ground before, and more than once or twice. It hadn't broken even after being dropped so many times before, but Li Xiuyuan broke it after only touching it once.

"You must have done this on purpose! Get out of here, I never want to see you again!" Jade Rabbit's eyes grew increasingly red, making her look quite alluring.

This must be Li Xiuyuan's doing. Otherwise, why would both of their phones break at the same time? It would be understandable if only one of them broke, but it's not normal for both of them to break at the same time!

"Little bunny, you heartless little thing, I really didn't break this phone on purpose." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that things were going badly, and gave a dry explanation, but why did his explanation sound so weak? Ugh! Even he himself didn't believe that he hadn't broken the phone on purpose.

"Waaah~~~" The little rabbit cried very sadly. Its two red eyes were even brighter after being washed by tears, seemingly more dazzling than gemstones. This made Li Xiuyuan feel a little guilty, but he did not regret it.

Chapter 1016 The End of Journey to the West

"Yes, Jade Rabbit is right, you must have done it on purpose." Chang'e, who hadn't thought about it much before, also realized something was amiss after Jade Rabbit's prompting.

"Chang'e! Don't you know what kind of person your husband is?" Li Xiuyuan was speechless. Two women ganged up on him. Was it easy for him?

"I don't believe it," the two women said in unison. It wasn't that they didn't believe him, but rather that it was too much of a coincidence. Both of them had thrown their phones away before, and nothing unexpected had happened.

How could he be so badly injured after being lightly thrown by Li Xiuyuan today? Who would believe it wasn't him who did it?

"I'm innocent! You two goddesses, you have to believe me!" Li Xiuyuan refused to admit it, he just wouldn't admit it, no one else knew, if he didn't admit it, it wasn't him, and even if he did, he wouldn't admit it.

"Waaaaah~~ Sister Chang'e, we've lost our phones." Jade Rabbit wiped away her tears and hugged the fairy Chang'e next to her.

"Don't cry, okay! Why aren't you leaving? Look how angry you've made Jade Rabbit." With that, Chang'e pushed Li Xiuyuan out of the room.

"Hey! You two fairies, you can't treat your husband like this!" As soon as Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, the door slammed shut, leaving Li Xiuyuan feeling sullen and nearly getting his nose caught in the crack in the door.

"Those two women are really rude." Li Xiuyuan stood at the door, awkwardly touching his nose. He was about to turn around and leave when he froze!

Sun Wukong, Qiao Ling'er, and Tang Sanzang were stunned when they arrived at this scene. It turned out that the all-powerful Li Xiuyuan was so cowardly in front of women, and was even locked out by the fairy Chang'e. They had seen it all clearly! They almost pinched Li Xiuyuan's nose.

"Master, I brought back Qiao Ling'er and the other relics," Sun Wukong said to Li Xiuyuan, barely suppressing a laugh.

"Uh, how long have you been here? Why didn't you say anything?" Li Xiuyuan touched his nose speechlessly. His handsome image was ruined in an instant. Hopefully, the others hadn't seen anything.

Is it possible that they didn't see it? Their reactions speak for themselves, and his image of being wise and powerful has been shattered.

"We told you, but you didn't hear us," Sun Wukong scratched his head and replied honestly.

"You impudent monkey, how dare you talk nonsense!" Li Xiuyuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry. He had been rebuffed by Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit, and his anger suddenly surged.

"Master, I know I was wrong!" Sun Wukong saw Li Xiuyuan lose his temper and quickly apologized, regardless of what he had done to offend Li Xiuyuan.

Just then, Long Xiangtian pulled Ouyang Lan out. Ouyang Lan had already forgiven Long Xiangtian. Originally, she hadn't planned to forgive him, but for some reason, she felt sorry for him when she saw his dejected look.

Think back to that situation. The rich young lady took the initiative to stop Long Xiangtian. At the time, he had no idea that she was overreacting.

Judging from Long Xiangtian's usual actions towards her, he really cares about her. This can be felt in the details of their daily lives. For example, he never lets her do anything herself. Even when she wants tea, Long Xiangtian will hand her the tea he has brewed.

When she was hungry, Long Xiangtian would personally prepare food for her, and it would all be her favorite foods. He would take good care of his own feelings, and he would kneel down and beg for her for a whole month.

How could anyone say he didn't love her after seeing all these signs? Upon closer reflection, it's clear he truly cares about her, and Ouyang Lan has noticed this as well.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's begin!" Li Xiuyuan took the remaining fifteen relics from Sun Wukong's hand. With the relics gathered, all the Buddhas returned to their places, and his good and evil corpses should also cultivate to the Great Dao.

"Wukong, you and Nezha should head to the Heavenly Court first to assist the Jade Emperor in his battle," Li Xiuyuan said slowly, turning back to look at Sun Wukong.

"Yes, Master!" Sun Wukong accepted the order, but then he remembered that Nezha had said that all the gods had been banished to the underworld. Why was his master now saying that they should go to the Heavenly Court to assist the Jade Emperor?

"Master, isn't the Jade Emperor in the underworld right now? Why are you sending us to the Heavenly Court?"

"Because Nezha's escape shattered the barrier of the underworld, all the gods returned to the Western Paradise. However, now the Buddha Wutian has led his troops to attack the Western Paradise." Li Xiuyuan said calmly. If he didn't want his good and evil corpses to cultivate the Great Dao, he wouldn't care about that arrogant Jade Emperor!

"Yes, Master, then this disciple will go first." Sun Wukong, along with Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, and the Six-Eared Macaque, were the first to attack the Heavenly Court. As soon as they entered the South Heavenly Gate, the corpses of the Heavenly Soldiers at the South Heavenly Gate were piled one on top of another, a truly unbearable sight.

"Brothers, let's go!" Sun Wukong called to the group and headed to the Heavenly Palace. At this time, the battle inside the Heavenly Palace was very fierce. Even the Three Pure Ones, who had not shown themselves for a long time, had joined the battle. On this side, Ziwei Star Lord, Donghua Emperor and his group of four, and the seventeen Arhats of Buddhism led by the future Buddha Bodhidharma were fighting against Wutian Buddha.

After this period of cultivation and absorption, the Buddha Wutian's magical power has greatly increased. At this moment, he is able to hold his own against several people.

"Hahahaha... Jade Emperor, you little brat, hurry up and show me what you've got." Wutian was extremely arrogant. It seemed that no one in the Heavenly Court was his match. He hadn't even used his full strength yet. It seemed that the Heavenly Court should really change hands.

"Hey! Wutian, don't be so arrogant, take this from my old Sun!" When Sun Wukong and his companions arrived, they heard Wutian's extremely arrogant words. They took out their golden cudgels and somersaulted down in front of Wutian.

"You're Sun Wukong? Why don't you follow me from now on!" Wu Tian glanced at Sun Wukong and realized that the man had some abilities, and was immediately impressed by his talent.

"You wicked demon, take this from your grandpa Sun!" Sun Wukong raised his staff and charged towards the Buddha Wutian. The golden cudgel stirred up a hurricane, its imposing aura overwhelming.

Wutian dodged, creating a series of double images, which prevented Sun Wukong's golden cudgel from hitting him.

Chapter 1017 A Grand Show

"Slap!" Wutian stretched out his palm and slapped Sun Wukong away. Sun Wukong lay on the ground in pain, rolling around and howling.

"Brother Monkey, are you alright? I, Old Pig, am here to lend you a hand." Pigsy helped Sun Wukong up, and once he had recovered a little, he roared! Wielding his nine-toothed rake, he twisted his massive body and swiftly attacked Wutian. Wutian sneered, waved his hand, and Pigsy, rake and all, rolled far away.

"Bajie, are you alright!" Before Sun Wukong could recover, Zhu Bajie rolled over in front of him.

Tang Sanzang, the Six-Eared Macaque, the martial monks, and the Red-Bottomed Macaque all rushed forward, surrounding Wutian in the center. Seeing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly got up and pulled Zhu Bajie into the encirclement.

At this moment, in the void, Li Xiuyuan said to Qiao Ling'er and Long Xiangtian in front of him: "You are both leaders of the Buddhist realm. The Buddhist realm needs you now, so please return to your positions as soon as possible."

As soon as Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, many images that they had never seen before appeared in their minds. After receiving the images, they both fell silent. As for how to choose, they both needed to consider it carefully.

"Ling'er, you..." Bai Lianhua and Biyou Fairy spoke at the same time, exchanged a glance, and then fell silent again.

"Don't worry." Qiao Ling'er looked deeply at the two women. Although he was very reluctant, he knew that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha and that he bore a great responsibility.

Ouyang Lan and Long Xiangtian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with an indelible sorrow. Just by looking at each other quietly, one could understand the depth of their feelings.

Upon learning that he was the reincarnation of Dipankara Buddha, Long Xiangtian was filled with panic. He already felt deeply sorry for Ouyang Lan and vowed to treat her better from now on. He secretly resolved to leave a wisp of his avatar to spend the rest of his life with Ouyang Lan.

Seeing the worried expressions on their faces, Li Xiuyuan knew they were undecided, so he went to the Heavenly Court alone. At this time, Wutian had already defeated Sun Wukong and the others, severely injuring them.

The Heavenly Dragon Buddha could no longer tolerate this. He could not allow Wutian to continue his reckless behavior. The Heavenly Dragon Buddha, radiating a silvery-white light, stood opposite Wutian Buddha.

Wutian Buddha glanced at Tianlong Buddha and thought to himself it was a pity. He couldn't help but want to deal with him. Black energy began to emanate from his body, and the two slowly rose into the air. They stared at each other, neither willing to make the first move. One incense stick passed, then two. The two moved at the same time and launched their attacks on each other. The crowd found that their moves were very similar, so for a moment they could not determine a winner.

After hundreds of rounds of fierce fighting, Wutian Buddha finally defeated Tianlong Buddha by sending out the Nine-Rank Black Lotus. Tianlong Buddha was thrown to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Heavenly Dragon Buddha covered his chest with one hand and pondered, "The Heavenly Buddha's power is comparable to mine, but he has too many treasures, all of which are top-grade. I'm afraid there's not much hope of defeating him."

When Li Xiuyuan arrived at the battlefield, this was the situation. Wutian Buddha was in mid-air, looking down at all the gods, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... Anyone else who is not convinced, step forward and watch me beat you until you submit." Wu Tian's tone was extremely arrogant, but no one dared to utter a word in rebuttal.

Although the Jade Emperor was also furious, the power of the Buddha Wutian was too great for him to fight. If he were to forcefully step forward, the pressure he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years would vanish instantly, which would cause dissatisfaction among the gods.

"So there's no one else? If no one steps forward, then I'll be the ruler of the Three Realms from now on." Wutian's tone was very frivolous. After speaking, he landed on the Jade Emperor's exclusive dragon throne.

"You monster, how can you be the ruler of Heaven?" Sun Wukong protested, and was about to rush out when a familiar voice stopped him.

"Wukong, wait a moment. Fortunately, your master is not late." Li Xiuyuan slowly walked to the main hall. The pressure he released made everyone present feel suffocated. Those below the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian all turned pale and their legs trembled.

Wu Tian, ​​who was sitting opposite him, felt a sudden tremor in his heart as he watched Li Xiuyuan strolling leisurely. A strong sense of crisis gripped his heart.

"Who are you? Mind your own business." Wu Tian didn't know that he was one of the good and evil corpses separated from this person. Therefore, when he saw Li Xiuyuan, although he was afraid, he still appeared calm and composed.

"I'm here to subdue you," Li Xiuyuan said mysteriously. With a wave of his hand, a palm wind struck Wutian, who took a few steps back before stopping.

"Do you accept it or not?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a smile, feeling quite pleased. Wutian had made great progress! He was quite satisfied with this level; he was invincible among the Heavenly Immortals, which seemed quite impressive! It was truly worthwhile to release them.

"I refuse to accept this." Wu Tian's voice trembled, but he quickly masked it. Why did this person give him the feeling of a mouse encountering a cat? He was terrified.

The Heavenly Dragon Buddha was overjoyed when he saw Li Xiuyuan. A voice in his heart seemed to say, "Don't worry! With him here, everything will be fine. There is nothing in this world that can stump him."

Li Xiuyuan arrogantly raised his figure into the air, surrounded by golden light. He looked very handsome and extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression. He was domineering and handsome, wild and unrestrained.

Wu Tian struck Wu Tian with a palm, and although he wanted to dodge, he found that Wu Tian's figure was standing still and could not move an inch.

The giant palm, carrying immense energy, sent Wutian flying to the ground. Wutian, who had just subdued numerous immortals, was now utterly powerless to retaliate. Under Li Xiuyuan's control, beating him was as easy as playing a game.

"Who exactly are you? I have no grudge against you." Wu Tian's eyes were filled with fear and confusion. Where did this person come from? How could he be so powerful?

At this moment, Sun Wukong and the people of Heaven were extremely excited, for Heaven was saved.

Chapter 1018 The Buddha Tathagata and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara Return to Their Positions

Only the Jade Emperor feared that after Li Xiuyuan defeated Wutian, he would become the head of the Three Realms. Seeing Li Xiuyuan's ability to easily defeat the Five Heavens, the Jade Emperor was very anxious.

"Prepare to die!" Li Xiuyuan ignored Wu Tian's doubts, but was secretly delighted. He struck down with another palm, and Wu Tian disappeared instantly, leaving the gods of the Heavenly Court stunned.

"Master, where did Wutian go?" The one who asked the question was Sun Wukong. Even he didn't know how Wutian had disappeared from his sight.

"I have already subdued him," Li Xiuyuan said calmly. In fact, Wutian had already merged with him, and his strength had reached a new level.

"Master, you are amazing." Sun Wukong's eyes shone as he circled around Li Xiuyuan. Although he knew his master was powerful, he did not know that his strength was so profound.

He had experienced Wutian's abilities firsthand. Such a powerful opponent was so easily defeated by his master, which dealt a huge blow to Sun Wukong's confidence. He vowed to become as powerful as Li Xiuyuan in the future.

"Ding, congratulations to the master for advancing. The Three Corpses have merged and you have entered the Saint Realm." Suddenly, the system in the sea of ​​consciousness activated a notification, and a screen appeared in the mind.
