In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Moreover, the powerful and abundant medicinal energy of the elixir within his body was nourishing and strengthening his muscles, bones, and flesh, causing him to undergo a transformation between immortal and mortal realms.

Sixth Reincarnation Peak!!

Chonglou had been in seclusion for fifty years, and although his profound skills had reached the mid-stage of the sixth level, his foundation was unstable.

This time, by using the power of the nine demons to temper his body, although he did not directly break through to the seventh level, he did break through to the late stage of the sixth level, and even reached the peak of the sixth level.

From an unstable foundation in the mid-stage of the sixth rank to a tempered and refined peak of the sixth rank.

Although both were at the sixth level of the cultivation realm, their strengths were worlds apart. The surge in power caused Chonglou's eyes to flash with ferocity, and his fierce fighting spirit as he looked at the nine demons made their scalps tingle.

The Golden-Winged Roc immediately uttered "You treacherous villain!" and, along with the Nine-Headed Ghost Chariot and the Six-Eared Macaque, transformed into three streaks of light and left the battlefield.

The two birds were extremely cunning and fast; the six-eared macaque was good at making bell sounds and could understand reason.

Knowing that they had fallen into Chonglou's trap, even if there was no chance of winning, they were unwilling to risk their lives against Chonglou, let alone have any chance of winning.

Staying here will only mean being tortured by Chonglou.

They hadn't forgotten that they had tormented Chonglou for three months. Now that Chonglou had broken through, he would surely vent his anger on the demons who hadn't escaped.

Chapter 136 Suppressing the Demons

"You broke through?"

The remaining six demons are mainly composed of the seven great saints from that time.

Stick together for warmth? Or be loyal to each other? Looking at the fleeing Six-Eared Macaque, the answer is self-evident.

Although the Bull Demon King treated the Six-Eared Macaque as Sun Wukong, it doesn't mean that all demons were idiots who didn't know that Sun Wukong had been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain.

Does it matter whether the Six-Eared Macaque is Sun Wukong or not?

When they became sworn brothers, it was only because their strengths were roughly equal, and they formed an alliance to advance and retreat together; it wasn't because they were truly loyal and devoted to each other.

After all, when Sun Wukong was besieged by the Heavenly Realm, none of the six demons went to his aid.

Although they were earth demons, they knew that the Heavenly Court was not to be trifled with.

The heavenly soldiers and generals who went to subdue Sun Wukong were all minor generals. The top experts of the heavenly realm, such as Erlang Shen Yang Jian, Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun, and Jiutian Yingyuan Leishen Tianzun, who were the ones they were wary of, were the top experts who suppressed the heavenly realm.

The sudden appearance of the Jade Frontier War God proves just how terrifying the Heavenly Realm is.

"Do you really think I am all alone and helpless? It was all just my scheme."

"If it weren't for your external attacks, how could I have so easily broken through my own bottleneck and solidified my somewhat unstable foundation? I owe it all to you."

Hiss...

Whether it was the gods of the Three Realms or a host of demons, they all looked at Chonglou in shock.

Unexpectedly, Chonglou had been plotting against them from the very beginning. No wonder only Chonglou went to fight in the vast temple.

"In that case, we do not need the God of War's thanks. We only hope that the God of War can let us leave."

"Want to leave? That's up to your luck."

Chonglou smiled disdainfully, the golden light of his divine halberd piercing through the void and tearing the heavens and earth apart.

At the peak of the sixth stage, in addition to a significant increase in physical strength, one's power, speed, and defense are also greatly enhanced.

when!

The divine halberd was swung and pierced through the air. The Bull Demon King, who was already used to Chonglou's attacks, suddenly felt a power at least twice as strong as before erupt. That irresistible burst of power immediately forced the Bull Demon King back.

Double the power!

Even the Bull Demon King was shocked by Chonglou's sudden surge in power, never expecting that Chonglou's power would increase so much in just a moment.

Sure enough, this Jade Frontier War God broke through at least one major realm.

Bang!

With another sweeping halberd strike, the demons who had just reacted felt a terrifying force coming at them. Before they could even fight back, they were sent flying by the halberd.

The moment the Roc Demon King and the Macaque King were knocked back, they took advantage of the momentum and fled.

They hadn't realized it before, but now that they were thinking about it, they knew they had better time to leave.

Chonglou did not give chase. Although the group of demons was despicable, there was no need to exterminate them.

Moreover, he has already broken through to the peak of the sixth level of the Flowing Realm, so these demons are nothing to fear.

However, Chonglou had no intention of letting those who hadn't left in time off so easily. A golden light flashed, and the Lion Camel King stared in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest.

This halberd not only pierced his body directly, but also, under the power of the divine halberd, his primordial spirit was annihilated, his physical body dissipated, and he was completely reduced to ashes.

Upon seeing this, the Bull Demon King and the other demons were terrified and turned to flee.

As the One-Horned Demon King turned around, a golden divine light flashed across its body, and in horror and resentment, it followed in the footsteps of the Lion Camel King.

Of the two demon kings who escaped last, the Bull Demon King was still useful and hadn't committed any great evil.

Therefore, Chonglou pursued the Flood Dragon King directly, trying to save as many as possible without exterminating them all.

First, it serves to intimidate the demons; second, it grants merit by slaying demons!

At this time, demons wreak havoc on the human world. These demons, burdened with heavy karma, can bring considerable merit.

···

"How is that possible?"

The ten demon kings joined forces, but only six of them returned, and even then, they barely escaped with their lives.

The news caused a sensation throughout the Three Realms and Four Seas.

The fact that the Jade Emperor was able to defeat Sun Wukong was already quite impressive, but no one expected his strength to be so formidable.

Even with the combined might of the ten demon kings, which was almost equivalent to ten Sun Wukongs working together, they still suffered a crushing defeat.

What's even more terrifying is that the Jade Frontier War God's final breakthrough brought such a significant increase in strength that he has likely reached the seventh level of the Great Luo realm.

As a result of this battle, the temples of Kunlun Mountain also became forbidden territory for most demons.

A powerful war god from the Jade Frontier suppressed the demons so much that they couldn't even breathe.

Moreover, the top demons were terrified. The Bull Demon King barely escaped with his life and thus retreated into seclusion, never to appear in the world again.

For a time, the demons of the Three Realms lived peacefully for five hundred years under the restraint of the demon kings.

For the past five hundred years, although human beings have suffered constant disasters, the Three Realms have been unusually peaceful.

After all, under the calamity, even the gods and immortals could not intervene, and were thus subject to many restrictions. Although the Heavenly Dao seemed to be operating normally, in reality, malevolent energy had spread throughout the world.

During the Little Ice Age, food supplies plummeted.

A malevolent aura bewitches people, and treacherous officials hold power.

Demons have seized the mountain and are wreaking havoc on the human world...

Only through Zhang Xiaoshan's secret planning was the Eastern Continent able to peacefully pass through these five hundred years.

Similarly, the Jade Warrior God's ability to intimidate those great demons and monsters was also a great merit.

In a short period of time, Zhang Xiaoshan's accumulated merits over five hundred years far surpassed the merits he accumulated during the three hundred years of peaceful and prosperous times.

After all, in times of peace and prosperity, there are fewer demons, fewer disasters, and less chaos on earth...

But in chaotic times, helping even one person is an act of merit; slaying a minor demon earns at least a hundred merits; suppressing a chaotic region brings immeasurable merit...

Given such good fortune, it's easy to imagine that Zhang Xiaoshan has accumulated merits during this period, exceeding one trillion.

Moreover, the incense offerings to Donghua Dijun under the longevity tablet are very prosperous.

Originally, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm was already a rapid advancement. With the accumulation of incense offerings, Wuji Daoist broke through again within five hundred years, entering the late-stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm.

The young sword master honed his swordsmanship to the same level as the original master, but his swordsmanship was so strong that he could be called the ancestor of swords.

···

[Host: Zhang Xiaoshan]

(Nuo's) Realm: Taiyi Sanren

Talent: Pure Yang Divine Body

Cultivation techniques: Pure Yang Daoist Manual (Taiyi Chapter), Taiqing Immortal Technique, Nine Revolutions Profound Technique...

Items: Taiqing Divine Talisman (+), Divine Halberd (+), Sun Essence Wheel (+), Pure Yang Cauldron (Second Enhancement), Pure Yang Sword (Enhanced), Ancestral Sword (Enhanced)...

Merit: **6

"Indeed, a man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grazing!"

For five hundred years, Zhang Xiaoshan has been traveling throughout the four continents, and with the incense offerings of Xuanzhen Temple, he can see into the three realms.

Therefore, relying on the vast sword sect system of Xuanzhen Temple, countless lives were saved, and the merits were immeasurable.

If it weren't for the absence of the Fusang tree and the Rensheng fruit tree, he would have already achieved perfect harmony of the five elements, gathered the three flowers at the top of his head, and attained the status of a Golden Immortal.

However, it is because of his travels in the human world that his merits continue.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan looked westward. Five hundred years had passed, and the monkey was about to be born. It was also the time for him to plan the Fusang tree and the ginseng fruit.

Chapter 137 The Birth of the Monkey King in the Mortal Realm

"Consecrate one hundred billion merits to strengthen the Ancestral Sword!"

Having followed Zhang Xiaoshan to the Journey to the West world for two thousand years, the Ancestral Sword has undergone a thousand years of fire tempering in the Eight Trigrams Furnace and a thousand years of sacrificial refinement. It has long since become one with the young Sword Master, and its quality is extremely high.

The second enhancement also occurred when the Ancestral Sword followed the boy into the Journey to the West world. After its quality increased to a certain level, its merits were enhanced once again.

A dazzling golden light illuminated the entire Xuanzhen Temple, and a fierce and domineering sword aura soared to the heavens and descended to the deepest hell.

The signs of the divine sword's birth shook the entire Four Continents.

But once the location was locked, the gods abandoned their plans.

Xuanzhen Temple is Zhang Xiaoshan's territory, and it has always been guarded by his third incarnation, protecting the land and slaying demons.

Clearly, this is a magical artifact crafted later in life, and of extremely high quality, at least no less than the Ruyi Divine Needle Iron.

The sword energy soared into the sky; it must be a divine weapon prepared for some young sword master.

"Guanzhu!"

Hundreds of elders from Xuanzhen Temple rushed into the main hall and just happened to see the golden light converge into the Ancestral Sword.

This is the sword of the young sword master. Although they do not know what changes have occurred, the feeling they get from the ancestral sword at this moment is not only its magnificent and domineering beauty, but also its terrifying sharpness and domineering sword energy that pierces through the netherworld.

"It's alright. This is simply me infusing the merits of my thousand years of cultivation into the sword, thus elevating it to the level of a merit-based spiritual treasure."

"Congratulations, Abbot!"

The magnificent and vast golden light just now, and the familiar yet unfamiliar ancestral sword, no longer gave anyone a second thought.

Although they have accumulated a great deal of merit by slaying demons and monsters over the years, they themselves cannot sense the existence of this merit. They only know that the merit has protected them, and their cultivation and path to immortality have become much smoother.

It seems that their spiritual level was insufficient, and secondly, their merits were too little.

"After a thousand years of arduous cultivation, the fruit of enlightenment has finally been achieved."

You have been following me for nearly a thousand years. Originally, you were supposed to be enshrined in the immortals after you survived the heavenly tribulation.

However, the world is full of suffering, so I will leave you all here to suppress it.

At this time, the calamity will be in its final ten years or so, and the world will be able to return to normal. You will also have achieved your goal of merit.

Within the Xuanzhen Temple, the Eastern Emperor, who oversees the teachings and registers of immortals, has long observed everything. Therefore, today I, in accordance with your merits, bestow divine titles upon you!

Upon hearing this, the group of immortal experts were immediately shaken.

Conferring divine titles?

Shouldn't this happen after ascending to heaven? Does the Abbot have this ability?

At this moment, the young swordsman sheathed his divine sword, and a celestial book appeared in his hand amidst the overflowing light. It was the immortal register of the Eastern Emperor, containing all the information about the Xuanmen immortal register.

As long as it is within the Three Realms and the Five Elements, the merit records of all Xuanmen disciples are in the Immortal Register.

"Shaohua, you have followed me for six hundred years, always charging ahead in every battle to subdue demons and monsters, achieving remarkable feats."

"The Eastern Emperor is a great deity worshipped at the Xuanzhen Temple, and a direct descendant of the Xuanmen lineage. Today, I hereby appoint you as the Guardian General of the Eastern Emperor Palace—Shaohua Ziyang Yuanji Heavenly Lord!"
