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

The Chaos Tree was told to Buddha by Zhang Zhengdao.

The Buddha told all the immortals and Buddhas.

As the Chaos Tree continued to grow, none of their spells could stop its growth. It was on the verge of invading the Lingxiao Palace.

Suddenly a child's voice screamed.

"Stop it!"

"It's really stopped!"

Everyone looked over and saw Nezha staring at the Chaos Tree. He screamed with delight and couldn't resist poking the tree trunk with his Fire-Tipped Spear! This kid is capable of doing such a thing.

"do not move!"

The Buddha shouted, but that was all; he didn't actually stop him. It's good to teach this brat a lesson.

When the Daoist patriarch, Laozi, heard this, he also wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"puff"

The spear tip pierced the Chaos Tree.

Then, as if sensing something, a branch of the Chaos Tree suddenly appeared and moved horizontally towards Nezha. Nezha thrust his spear again, the tip striking the branch.

With just a touch of the spear tip, Nezha knew something was wrong.

We need to retreat.

However, the spear tip was wrapped in a branch, and then it seemed to freeze. As the branch climbed upwards, the bright spear tip suddenly changed color.

The color of the tree branches.

That's a Fire-Tipped Spear!

Taiyi Zhenren passed on his precious divine weapon to Nezha, especially the spear tip which could breathe fire.

After the Chaos Tree wrapped around it, the spear tip immediately became like the Chaos Tree, becoming part of it and becoming chaotic. Moreover, not only the spear tip changed, but the shaft also changed.

"Let go!"

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, shouted sternly.

Nezha knew how dangerous it was, so he quickly let go.

As soon as he let go, the entire Fire-Tipped Spear became part of the Chaos Tree, and this part continued to grow, eventually covering the floor in front of the Lingxiao Palace.

It continues to extend into the interior of the Lingxiao Palace.

Wherever this branch passes, everything becomes like the Chaos Tree, becoming a part of it.

"what--"

One of the heavenly soldiers couldn't dodge in time and was touched by the branch. He instantly turned to wood, transforming into a humanoid form of a chaotic tree branch. The others shouted and scattered to avoid it.

They scattered as if avoiding a flood or a ferocious beast.

Although the branch climbed slowly, it showed no sign of stopping.

Seeing that a small part of the front hall had already turned to wood, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but shout, "My lords, Taoist Ancestor, Buddha Ancestor, please lend me a hand."

Since the Jade Emperor had spoken, everyone used their magical weapons to blast at the branches on the ground, attempting to cut them off on the spot.

If things continue like this, the entire Lingxiao Palace will become part of this Chaos Tree.

"It's all your fault, you brat!"

Even the honest Venus couldn't help but curse out loud.

This kid is such a worry!

Nezha wanted to argue, but everyone was watching, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Is it my fault? Is it my fault? You don't blame yourselves for not being skilled enough, you blame me!"

"Oh!"

Igor's Vajra Bracelet struck him on the head, and Laozi was also angered. He beat the boy until he was dizzy and disoriented, but he still didn't dare to act recklessly towards Laozi.

Laozi said, "Let's all handle this together, let's go!"

"boom--"

Everyone unleashed their magical treasures.

The pagoda of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was the first to be thrown out. As a result, it turned into a wooden pagoda and then grew into part of the Chaos Tree.

Those who hadn't yet rushed out immediately stopped.

Laozi's Vajra Bracelet was thrown out, and the moment it was thrown, it too was turned to wood by the Chaos Tree. Buddha's Golden Bowl had just been hanging in the sky when a beam of light shone down, stimulating the branches of the Chaos Tree.

Suddenly, a branch shot up and ripped the golden bowl off, turning it into a wooden bowl.

"Things are hopeless, let's go!"

Nezha shouted and ran away.

The Jade Emperor shouted, "Who dares to run?"

Zhang Zhengdao stopped Nezha's legs abruptly, forcing Nezha to hide behind the crowd. He realized he had indeed caused the trouble and cursed Zhang Zhengdao a thousand times over in his heart.

After quickly reciting a Buddhist chant, the Buddha immediately descended to the mortal realm in his incarnation.

"Taoist Master, Taoist Master, please stop!"

As soon as the fat monk landed, he shouted loudly towards the group of people by the Chaos Tree on the East China Sea. He saw Zhang Zhengdao sitting on a boat by the Chaos Tree on the beach, with his trousers rolled up and his bare feet paddling in the sea.

Zhang Zhengdao couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the fat monk.

"What's wrong? Did the Jade Emperor send you?"

The fat monk said with a bitter face, "The Heavenly Court can't hold on any longer, this world is about to collapse."

Zhang Zhengdao laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's just punishing a troublemaking kid. Don't worry, I'll be leaving soon. I won't leave behind a Heavenly Court on the verge of collapse, nor will I destroy the Heavenly Dao rules here."

"That's good, that's wonderful. The Heavenly Court is just curious and fearful, and can't find a solution."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded: "I understand. People are generally afraid of the unknown. Go ahead and tell them that we are leaving soon, and we will need your help to look after my old friends here."

The fat monk nodded: "That's only natural. No need to give any instructions!"

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said, "That's excellent!"

He stood up from the boat, put on his shoes, and called out to the group of people on the other side of the boat, "Are you all ready?"

Lu Xiaohua smiled and nodded.

The others shouted in unison, "Everyone's ready!"

The fat monk looked at them in horror and said, "What have you prepared? Are you about to go to the vast world of the chaotic universe?"

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the monk and smiled, "Yes, if you want to come with us, then don't leave."

Fat monk: "No, I want to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished in a flash.

If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave.

He never had the courage to take that step and go to the vast world of the chaotic universe, even though he knew that going there might bring him immense benefits.

However, he was still filled with fear of the unknown world, and it was far better to become a Buddha or an ancestor here.

Seeing that the monk had left, Zhang Zhengdao shouted.

"Open the path of chaos, by decree—"

The peach wood sword, which hadn't been used for a long time, was drawn from its sheath and pointed at the Chaos Tree. Suddenly, the Chaos Tree burst forth with a burst of intense light, which seemed to illuminate the entire universe.

Everyone in Heaven saw that light, an irresistible light that made even the immortals, Buddhas, and great gods seem incredibly small.

This light was also seen in the mortal realm and in hell.

Immediately, this ray of light rapidly converged from all directions and the depths of the universe, until finally, only a single point of light remained in the sky above the East China Sea.

Then the light spot disappeared.

It was as if none of the strange phenomena had ever existed.

Blue sky and white clouds, gentle breeze and rippling waves.

Everything was quiet and still, as if the miracle that had just occurred, and the Chaos Tree, did not exist in this world. Everything seemed to have returned to its origin in an instant.

Isn't it a bit far?

The damaged foundations of the East China Sea have been restored.

Even the fish and shrimp that had died because of the Chaos Tree suddenly started jumping up and diving back into the sea, swimming happily.

Everything in the mortal realm that had been destroyed by the Chaos Tree and all the living beings that had died were suddenly restored at this moment.

In heaven.

The heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as the big shots, all watched this scene in horror.

The front hall, which had been transformed into chaotic trees, suddenly returned to its original state.

One of the heavenly soldiers, who had been turned to wood, suddenly opened his eyes, saw everyone in front of him, let out a scream like a woman, and then turned and ran away.

Unable to accept reality, he disappeared without a trace. But the good news is, he's still alive.

"Danglang"

It looks like something metallic has fallen down.

When everyone looked, they saw that Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear was indeed lying on the ground intact. Overjoyed, Nezha jumped out from the crowd, picked it up, twirled it in his hand a few times, and laughed heartily.

"Okay, nothing has changed."

Even the South Heavenly Gate, which had been destroyed by the Chaos Tree, stood there intact.

Everything has been restored.

The Taoist patriarch, Laozi, sighed silently and said to the Buddha, "What a pity."

The Buddha glanced at the Taoist Ancestor and asked, "What's a pity?"

Laozi chuckled: "You can't hide it from me anyway, so why bother asking? I'm just feeling sorry for you. If I were to go down to the mortal realm to find him, I wouldn't have made the same decision as you."

The Buddha was somewhat surprised: "If it were you, would you go with him into the chaotic universe?"

The Dao Ancestor nodded: "If that's the case, it's an excellent opportunity to explore the Great Dao. You fool, you actually wasted it. It pains me to think about it."

That seems to be true.

The Buddha remained silent, unable to speak for a long time.

He must be filled with regret.

They were too focused on weighing the benefits and lacked the resolve to decisively give them up. This can easily breed inner demons.
