A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

Not long after sunset, a sudden gust of wind swept in.

The yellow sand swirled up, forming a tornado that swept across the entire desert. The thick layer in the sky wasn't clouds, but a sandstorm.

Neither of them was afraid of the sandstorm, but that meant they wouldn't be able to see the starry sky.

Zixia felt a little regretful; the first starry sky of the first night was gone just like that.

Even without the sandstorm, the sky turned overcast. We'll have to find another time to see a sky full of stars.

Zixia and Zhang Zhengdao sat on the back of the sand dune to shield themselves from the sandstorm.

"It's a pity we won't be able to see the starry sky."

Zhang Zhengdao: "I've said it before, when I say it will happen, it definitely will. Don't worry!"

Zixia rested her chin on Zhang Zhengdao's shoulder.

"Can you pull out my Purple and Green Sword now?" She actually placed the Purple and Green Sword in Zhang Zhengdao's hand, looking at him expectantly.

Sun Wukong was able to pull out the Purple and Green Sword, but Zixia didn't approve of him from the bottom of her heart, so she also wanted to see if Zhang Zhengdao could pull it out.

If Zhang Zhengdao can pull it out, it proves that the Buddha's words about the person who can pull out her Purple and Green Sword being her destined one were just nonsense.

Holding the Purple and Green Sword, Zhang Zhengdao suddenly felt as if he were connected to something.

Let's trace the origin of this sword using the Great Dao.

Suddenly, a surge of consciousness, like the changing of the sea and the transformation of the land, flooded into my mind. My mind was instantly filled with chaos, and within that chaos, I saw the long river of history churning.

The purple and green sword seemed to be tumbling in the long river.

The Purple-Green Sword wasn't originally called the Purple-Green Sword; it was called the Immortal-Slaying Sword. It was in the hands of a young girl who roamed the martial world, slaying demons and monsters. In the end, the girl proved her Dao through killing.

Before the girl, the Immortal-Slaying Sword wasn't called the Immortal-Slaying Sword; it was called the Peach Blossom Sword.

In a place where peach blossoms are in full bloom, a woman stands on a mountain covered in peach blossoms. On the mountain is an alchemy hut, and inside the hut, an unbelievably beautiful woman is starting a fire.

The flames illuminated her rosy cheeks.

Suddenly, a red light shot out from the alchemy hut, and as the red light shot into the sky, a sword pierced through the roof of the hut and soared into the sky, like the cry of a phoenix or the roar of a dragon.

Then all the radiance disappeared.

The sword appeared in the girl's hand. She gazed at the sword, lost in thought. The sword then stayed by her side, day and night, for countless years.

The girl's appearance remained unchanged until one day, she suddenly returned to Peach Blossom Mountain from the martial arts world, and then sat quietly alone on the top of a cliff in Peach Blossom Mountain.

That day, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.

On that day, a golden phoenix turned its head overhead, and on that very day, it seemed that many people from Peach Blossom Mountain rushed towards the summit of Peach Blossom Mountain. Finally, in a burst of sunlight, the girl suddenly shattered into countless specks of golden light.

She disappeared into the long river of history, and the sword stood in mid-air. As the girl disappeared, the sword suddenly rose from the ground, soared into the sky, broke through the heavens, broke out of the outer heavens, and disappeared into the vast chaotic universe.

One day, a young girl went up the mountain to gather herbs and accidentally fell into a stream. She was caught by a red light from the sword, which saved her life and also gave her a set of cultivation skills.

When the girl had achieved success in her cultivation, she gave the sword a domineering name—the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Countless years have passed, and the girl has grown old, but her beauty has not faded. She used killing to prove her Dao, but one day she was backfired. Her mental strength was exhausted, and she only released the Immortal-Slaying Sword in her hand when she was dying.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword plunged into the chaos once more, just as Fairy Zixia opened her eyes for the first time to see this world. A lamp wick that had burned before Buddha for countless years suddenly came to life and consciousness.

Then, the first thing she saw was a precious sword that suddenly appeared from the chaos.

The lamp has two wicks; the one that appears during the day is called Zixia, and the one that appears at night is called Qingxia. Because Zixia was the first to see this sword, she regarded it as her natal sword.

Because she has an older sister, this sword should actually be used by both sisters.

Sword name: Purple Green.

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly realized.

Unexpectedly, the origin of this sword is... Peach Blossom Mountain.

That girl... that flowing dress, and those inexplicably pure eyes, everything seemed so real, making him sigh with emotion.

Perhaps everything in the chaos is preordained!

He knew that the girl had not turned into fragments of golden light, but rather that these fragments of golden light had merged into the River of Chaos. In this river, these fragments were like different incarnations of the girl, going to countless worlds.

The girl multiplied into a thousand forms, entering different worlds, but in each world, she only had one mortal life. After death, her will returned to chaos, and at that time, the girl ceased to exist.

Zhang Zhengdao knew this girl.

The new life that was born from the leaves of the Chaos Lotus was also a little girl who grew up eating Chaos Lotus seeds.

It was precisely because she was born in chaos that she was able to break through her own cultivation level and transform into a fragment of chaos, going to different worlds.

Of all the disciples of Peach Blossom Mountain, only she could do that.

"Why don't you... try pulling it out?"

Zixia Fairy was still bewitching Zhang Zhengdao. This Taoist was very handsome, which she liked very much, and he was also very powerful. He perfectly fulfilled all her fantasies about her other half.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and gently squeezed the scabbard.

"choke--"

After a slight sound, the Purple and Green Sword was drawn from its sheath.

The sword slid out of its sheath and flew into the air, suddenly drawing streaks of fire like flames before soaring into the sky like a phoenix, emitting a phoenix cry.

Then it seemed like a fire dragon, flying in the sky and emitting bursts of dragon roars.

The approaching sandstorm, blotting out the sun, seemed poised to sweep away the dragon and phoenix.

Suddenly, the dragon and phoenix crossed paths and crashed headlong into the sandstorm. Immediately, the sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries could be heard. The sandstorm seemed to be suppressed and calmed down by the cries of the dragon and phoenix.

The rolling sandstorm suddenly dissipated, and sand continued to fall, making a "rustling" sound as it hit the sand.

It was as if a sandstorm had fallen.

Inside the nearby Moyun Cave, the Bull Demon King seemed to have also seen this situation from afar. He couldn't help but feel lucky. If he hadn't surrendered quickly, he would probably have vanished like this sandstorm.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Princess Xiangxiang has gone missing!"

A little imp rushed in and hurriedly reported.

The Bull Demon King was taken aback. This little sister was never very reliable. She used to say that the Monkey King was her favorite hero, but after hearing that the Monkey King had been adopted by Tang Sanzang and become a monk, she stopped mentioning Sun Wukong.

Now that he's run away, he knows perfectly well who he's looking for. He's even somewhat hoping that his girl can seduce that Taoist priest so that he'll have someone to rely on in the future.

"Don't worry about her, let her go wherever she wants."

The Bull Demon King waved his hand. His wedding was in vain, and his bride was missing. But he had to find someone to take her place, didn't he? He looked at the little demon who had come to report. She was a small water snake.

So what if she's a water snake? The key thing is that she witnessed Zhang Zhengdao taking Zixia Fairy away yesterday as a maid, so I should shut her up.

"Get ready, we'll get married tomorrow."

The Bull Demon King remained as domineering as ever, even without the Taoist priest present.

"what?"

The little fairy was a bit confused. She had just come in to deliver a message, so how did she end up having to get married?

Did I...did I do something wrong?

The Bull Demon King glared at him with his bull-like eyes: "What? You don't want to!"

The little water snake spirit said timidly, "M-Your Majesty, if I have done anything wrong, you can punish me as you please. I'm not prepared for such a severe punishment..."

Bull Demon King: ...

Punishment? Marrying me is punishment for you?

I'm giving you the opportunity to be the wife of the Great King, the Bull Demon King, who is one of the most influential demons in the demon world.

you are not willing?

Thinking of this, the Bull Demon King felt a heart attack: "You...don't want to?"

The little water snake fairy quickly shook her head, then nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty... I... still want a simpler life. Serving Your Majesty, my frail body... I'm afraid it can't withstand Your Majesty. If we were to get married, I'd probably die within a single night..."

The Bull Demon King was shocked: "Who said he died after just one night of marriage with me?"

Little Water Snake Fairy: "I heard... I heard what the otter fairy said. She said... our small bodies can't take it, and Fairy Zixia definitely can't take it either..."

The Bull Demon King roared, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work!"

The little water snake fairy cowered, "Really... do you want it?"

The Bull Demon King nodded: "Go and prepare."

The little water snake demon was heartbroken. She never expected that just by coming in to report something, she would be subjected to such a calamity. She only regretted that she was too weak and the Bull Demon King was too powerful.

While wiping away her tears, she had no choice but to prepare to change her clothes.

However, when the Bull Demon King reached the door, he turned to the little water snake spirit and said, "I also have a wife named Jade-Faced Fox, also known as Princess Iron Fan. When she married me, she was a pretty little demon, but she didn't die after marrying me. Instead, her cultivation greatly improved. Do you know why?"

The little water snake spirit asked in astonishment, "Why?"

Bull Demon King: "Because she married me."

After saying that, the Bull Demon King walked away without looking back.

The little water snake spirit opened its mouth wide, its face turning red and white in turns, and it took it a long time to recover.
