Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he lightly waved the Divine Demon Sword in his hand, bringing with it a sword aura that stretched for dozens of feet and swept down.

boom!

With a clear ringing sound, Li Xiuyuan activated the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong. His true body was here, and the power of his original physical body was also in this body, and would not be distributed to the clone.

Therefore, even with just his physical strength, Li Xiuyuan was able to fight against a Celestial Immortal-level expert.

Li Xiuyuan's original body became incredibly tall, a majestic giant of thirty feet, standing on the surface of West Lake, and at the same time, he exuded an ancient and desolate aura. This was a body formed by the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, and his physical strength was enhanced several times.

"Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques!"

When Fahai saw Li Xiuyuan transform into a magnificent giant, he couldn't help but exclaim. This technique had appeared in his lineage before, but he had never practiced it.

The main reason is that the cultivation of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is too difficult, and there are very few people in the world who practice it. As for Erlang Shen Yang Jian, he has a good master, and he was born with the body of a half-immortal. He is also taken care of by Yu Ding Dao Ren and takes medicine every day.

This allowed Yang Jian to reach the Golden Immortal realm with his physical body, but advancing further was extremely difficult.

Once one reaches the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one still needs innate spiritual energy to refine the body, which makes it even more difficult.

Since the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, Gonggong angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain, causing a great change in the world. Innate spiritual energy became acquired spiritual energy, making cultivation more difficult for those who practice body refinement.

Unless one possesses an object that can reverse one's innate nature, such as the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure, which can restore acquired spiritual energy to its innate state, it is possible to break through to the Quasi-Saint level. However, apart from the Great God Pangu and the Three Thousand Demon Gods, there is no one else who can achieve the realm of physical sainthood without entering the realm of physical sainthood.

Li Xiuyuan obtained the memories of Jianglong and naturally knew the difficulties involved. However, he had the Merit Mall, so he could exchange even Pangu's essence blood for it, and even the essence blood of other Chaos Demon Gods.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan dared to practice the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong. Now, after hearing Fahai speak, he smiled and said, "No, this is the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, not the Eight-Nine Profound Technique."

With that, ignoring Fahai's astonished gaze, he prepared to launch his attack.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Arts are extremely similar, so it's no wonder that Fahai mistook them.

Li Xiuyuan raised his hand and threw a punch. The entire void seemed to collapse as the incredibly powerful force struck Fahai's three-zhang-tall golden body.

Upon seeing this, Fahai immediately used his powers. He raised his golden shield, which suddenly grew to several meters in size, completely blocking the area in front of him.

boom!

Li Xiuyuan's punch was entirely based on the strength of his physical body, but after his Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong entered the fourth level, even relying solely on the strength of his physical body, it weighed tens of thousands of tons.

Fahai's golden shield was shattered in an instant by Li Xiuyuan's fist. With a loud 'boom,' both of Fahai's arms were severed from his three-zhang-tall golden body.

The 108 prayer beads she was holding were also shattered by the shock.

Fahai leaped back, a trace of blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth. A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected such a powerful figure to appear. Why hadn't Guanyin Bodhisattva warned him? It seemed he would inevitably have to use the Buddha's golden alms bowl.

What Fahai didn't expect was that this person had recently given him guidance in his spiritual practice and even defeated him in a Buddhist debate.

Li Xiuyuan, who was practicing the Supreme Heavenly Demon True Scripture, transformed into Wutianhou at this moment, and it was as if they were two different people. No one in the Three Realms could recognize them, let alone Fahai.

Otherwise, if anyone could recognize Li Xiuyuan's true form, how could he lead the Demonic Sect to grow stronger in the future?

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Fahai, take another palm strike from me."

As he spoke, he struck out with a palm, bringing immense force to the attack.

A black dragon spewed out from between Li Xiuyuan's palms. This palm technique was the Dragon Subduing Divine Power. At this moment, he seemed to be a real dragon.

With a flick of his arm, one of the black dragon's claws coiled around his body fused strangely with his arm, transforming his entire arm into an enormous dragon claw that gleamed with a metallic sheen and slammed coldly toward Fahai.

"not good!"

Fahai thought to himself that he knew how fierce the attack was, and if he didn't block it, he probably wouldn't survive. With that thought in mind, he finally took out his golden alms bowl.

In an instant, the golden light intensified, blocking Fahai's path. The golden bowl, which was originally the size of a palm, became enormous, larger than a house!

This golden alms bowl was a treasure bestowed upon Fahai by the Buddha, and it was also the golden alms bowl that Tang Sanzang used to beg for alms in the Journey to the West. Its power should not be underestimated.

In the future, once the items from the journey to the West are used up, if the golden bowl is infused with some merit, it can become a spiritual treasure of acquired merit, capable of causing harm without incurring karmic consequences.

boom!

As the black dragon spewed out from between Li Xiuyuan's palms, the golden bowl swallowed the black dragon, and after a loud dragon roar, there was no more sound.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Indeed, you have some skill."

After saying that, he launched another attack, wielding the golden bowl with his magic weapon. No matter how fierce Li Xiuyuan's attacks were, they were all absorbed by him.

However, Fahai was completely on the defensive because Li Xiuyuan was too powerful, and his Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique was extremely abnormal.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the claim that those who cultivate the physical body are invincible at the same level. Li Xiuyuan's physical body level is a notch higher than Fahai's. If it weren't for his golden alms bowl, he would probably have been defeated in just a few rounds.

Chapter 173 The Golden Body Disappears

After Li Xiuyuan attacked Fahai's golden bowl dozens of times, large and small cracks appeared on it. However, it would probably take some time to completely shatter it.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan was unwilling to delay any longer and prepared to use his true methods. Fahai, with his golden alms bowl, seemed to carry a tortoise shell with him, making it difficult for anyone to find a way to attack him.

hum!

A black lotus platform flew out from Li Xiuyuan's lower dantian. In an instant, the palm-sized lotus platform grew to the size of a house and crashed fiercely into Fahai.

The Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, though a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, excels most in its powerful defensive capabilities, while being somewhat lacking in offensive power.

However, top-tier innate spiritual treasures are extraordinary, far surpassing those acquired through birth.

With a deafening roar, Fahai was shocked. What? Even the golden alms bowl was knocked away? How could this be?

In Fahai's eyes, the golden bowl in his hand was a treasure bestowed by the Buddha, and few treasures could compare to it. Now that it had become so fragile, he could hardly believe it.

Seeing Fahai's astonishment, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "What will surprise you even more is yet to come!"

As he spoke, he spurred the Black Lotus of Annihilation and rammed it directly into Fahai. Even a defensive magic weapon can be used to smash people.

Fahai saw a massive twelfth-grade black lotus platform of world destruction hurtling towards him. He tried to dodge it, but the giant black lotus platform seemed to have locked onto him.

No matter how Fahai tried to dodge, it seemed he would be hit again. He didn't have time to think, and almost instantly, the World-Destroying Black Lotus Platform slammed into Fahai's body.

boom!

The air within a ten-mile radius in the void was almost completely obliterated by this attack. At the same time, the water of the entire West Lake boiled, and dozens of feet of water splashed up around Li Xiuyuan and Fahai.

After suffering this severe blow, Fahai was so badly injured that he coughed up blood. Almost instantly, all the bones in his body were shattered, and his three-zhang golden body was also destroyed.

Seeing Fahai's miserable state, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that this was only a defensive type of innate spiritual treasure. If it were an offensive type, how terrifying would it be!

However, Li Xiuyuan didn't think much of it. Seeing that Fahai was seriously injured, he didn't give him a chance to escape. The Black Lotus Platform of Annihilation covered his head and pressed down in an instant.

Ah!

With a series of resentful screams, Fahai's body was obliterated, and at the same time, his soul was absorbed by the World-Destroying Black Lotus Platform, which could absorb the evil energy between heaven and earth.

In ancient times, the Black Lotus of Annihilation was originally Rahu's magic weapon. After it was shattered, it was combined with the broken Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to form an array diagram.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was broken, and the whereabouts of the four swords became unknown. As for the formation diagram of the Ninth-Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus Platform, it was nowhere to be found.

Now that Li Xiuyuan has obtained the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus through the 'Holy Buddha System,' then this World-Destroying Black Lotus is the only one of its kind in the world. In the primordial world, every innate spiritual treasure is unique.

After seeing Fahai die, Li Xiuyuan sighed inwardly, thinking how tragic it was that Jin Chanzi had run into him. This guy had reincarnated a hundred times and endured countless tribulations before he finally embarked on the journey to the West in Journey to the West.

Now that he has been killed by Li Xiuyuan, Fahai can only reincarnate again. However, there are also Buddhists in the underworld. If people know that he has the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, he will definitely be targeted.

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure!"

Li Xiuyuan knew clearly that in this world, without sufficient strength, those top-tier spiritual treasures should never be taken out. If one were to hold them in one's hands and walk around recklessly...

I'm afraid even a sage would be tempted to snatch it by force. Didn't you see during the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, after Donghuang Taiyi died, the Chaos Bell became ownerless, and several sages fought each other?

In the end, the Earth Immortal Zhen Yuanzi used the Earth Book to stabilize the mountain range, which brought peace to the prehistoric world. As for the Chaos Bell, its whereabouts are unknown.

However, while the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus may not be as powerful as the Chaos Bell, it is not far off. If a sage were to see it, he would shamelessly try to take it.

Although the current sages are confined to the chaos by the Heavenly Dao, they all have disciples and can send clones to them.

Li Xiuyuan would never take out a top-tier innate spiritual treasure before his cultivation level broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Upon seeing Fahai dead, Bai Suzhen stepped forward and exclaimed in shock, "My lord, you have killed Fahai!"

As he spoke, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes. She knew very well about the golden bowl in Fahai's hand and had suffered quite a bit from it.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan was so powerful that he destroyed the golden bowl. It seems that the official was somewhat lenient during the last fight.

Otherwise, she could have defeated Bai Suzhen with her power of Dharma Body alone, and she was secretly grateful.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Hmm, this old monk often causes you trouble. Killing him will put your mind at ease. However, I'm afraid it's not safe in West Lake anymore."

Now that the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus has been exposed, Li Xiuyuan must leave with Xiaoqing, Bai Suzhen, and the others. Otherwise, when the Buddhists arrive, they will have nowhere to go.

Bai Suzhen nodded upon hearing this. She didn't know why she had to leave, but she would absolutely obey her husband's words. She said gratefully, "Yes, thank you for avenging me, my husband."

She almost died at the hands of Fahai back then, so it's understandable that Bai Suzhen stole his elixir later.

But Fahai was determined to cause trouble for Bai Suzhen. He had been hiding all these years, but now that Li Xiuyuan had killed her, he was finally able to put an end to his hatred.

Chapter 174 Settling into a New Home

Even though Bai Suzhen was a kind-hearted person, she really didn't like Fahai, and his death made her feel extremely happy.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "That's only right, since you're my person!"

As he spoke, he approached Bai Suzhen's side, gazing at her celestial beauty.

Seeing the two of them showing affection in front of them, Xiaoqing, who had originally cared a lot about Bai Suzhen, felt a little unhappy and grumbled, "Hey, you two are going too far, leaving me and Feng Heng behind."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips, looking like I was very unhappy.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up and he chuckled, "Oh, so Xiaoqing is jealous!"

After saying that, he flashed to Xiaoqing's side, teasing her with a smile.
