Chapter 225

The terrifying Chaotic Sea, its surging Chaotic consciousness, continually struck the tiny space of Qingfeng's spiritual platform.

Despite Qingfeng's continual efforts to persist, she ultimately lost guard.

Her consciousness completely sank into it, unable to extricate herself!

Dingdong, congratulations host for successfully enabling the Wuzhuang Temple disciple Qingfeng to bear offspring, rewarding cultivation of fifty thousand years, rewarding one seed of the ginseng fruit tree!

It actually succeeded!

Originally, Ao Yifan thought that only constant attempts could possibly luckily bump into a person-fruit tree.

But he never expected that just a single attempt would actually succeed.

Although it was only a seed of the person-fruit tree, Ao Yifan felt that with Zhenyuanzi's methods, the seed could surely be made to grow.

And he himself could be considered not to have disappointed Zhenyuanzi's expectations.

Just then, Ao Yifan felt two gazes shooting toward him.

"You……"

Noticing the black sheer veils covering Qingfeng and Mingyue's eyes slip off, Ao Yifan only felt something was amiss.

But before he could act, the two women pressed him down.

"I feel our communication with the Chaos Sea isn't thorough yet—let's continue!"

At that moment, Qingfeng suddenly spoke.

"What Senior Sister Qingfeng said is right—the Chaos Sea is too dangerous; we need your guidance to truly find another person-fruit tree!"

Mingyue likewise echoed in agreement.

Ao Yifan wanted to explain that he had already found a person-fruit tree and didn't need them to keep communicating with the Chaos Sea.

It's a pity, though—the two women seemed not ready to give Ao Yifan a chance to speak, grabbing the oar that led them through the Chaos Sea and straining to swim deeper into it.

……

"Master, your disciple has disappointed you!"

In a tranquil expanse, the White Lotus Boy knelt on the ground, his voice full of shame.

This is the Western Pure Land, also the headquarters of the Western Teaching.

However, compared to the future Myriad Buddha Kingdom, the present Pure Land is far more desolate.

"White Lotus, what fault do you have?"

Suddenly, amidst a glow of rosy clouds, a tall figure slowly emerged, gazing at the White Lotus Boy kneeling on the ground.

Merely a single glance made the White Lotus Boy feel that his earlier unease vanished instantly, as if swept away.

This figure was none other than the White Lotus Boy's master, the Guide Immortal, one of the Two Saints of the Western Teaching.

Slowly rising, the White Lotus Boy looked toward the figure in the rosy light and said, "Master, you ordered your disciple to bring the Golden Cicada to seek this opportunity for sainthood, but your disciple not only failed to complete the task, he also let the Golden Cicada younger brother die miserably at the hands of heavenly beings; your disciple feels ashamed!"

The White Lotus Boy did not say that the six-winged golden cicada had been steamed by someone and then divided among the immortals at the Peach Banquet.

There was no choice; at the time, he was helpless and also heartily ate a big bowl.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, that delicacy still leaves the White Lotus Boy with an endless aftertaste to this day.

"White Lotus, haven't you already found the opportunity for sainthood?"

Just then, the rosy light in the sky swept across, and another figure appeared—none other than the Pure Offering Immortal, the other of the Two Saints of the Western Teaching.

"Hn?"

Hearing that, the White Lotus Boy couldn't help but start slightly, looking at the Pure Offering Immortal and saying, "Please, Holy One, clear up my doubts!"

"Hehe"

The Pure Offering Immortal chuckled and said, "Since the Dao Ancestor and Demon Ancestor fought long ago, half of our Western World's spiritual veins have been severed, causing our resources to be exhausted, far inferior to the Divine Land."

At this point, the Guide Immortal continued, "Thus, even if our Western World's citizens cultivate day and night, limited resources often cause their lifespans to fall short, and their souls return to the Pure Land."

"Not bad!"

The Pure Offering Immortal reached out with his right hand, and in the next instant a six-winged golden cicada appeared in his palm.

"This time, the Golden Cicada ate the life-prolonging person-fruit at the Peach Banquet, and a heavenly being personally transmitted the cooking method; from now on, the longevity effect of this six-winged golden cicada can benefit myriad people of our Western World—truly boundless merit!"

Watching the six-winged golden cicada trembling slightly in the Pure Offering Immortal's hand, the White Lotus Boy couldn't help but swallow.

In fact, the Western World has long begun researching the true way to eat the six-winged golden cicada, but has never succeeded.

Thus, the opportunity for sainthood that the Western Teaching gained at the Peach Banquet this time is precisely the true method of eating the six-winged golden cicada.

After all, due to resource limitations, the practitioners of the Western Teaching have lifespans far inferior to those of the Divine Land.

But now it's different—having the true way to eat the six-winged golden cicada, from now on the practitioners of our Western World will also enjoy prolonged lifespans!

Only, from now on, that six-winged golden cicada will suffer.

However, the six-winged golden cicada possesses the Golden Cicada's shell-shedding resurrection ability, and, according to the Two Saints, its longevity effect can benefit myriad people of the Western World.

This will be a supreme merit!

"Perhaps, once the six-winged golden cicada's merit is complete, it too may have a chance to attain enlightenment—this looks like a win-win!"

The White Lotus Boy, looking at the slightly trembling six-winged golden cicada, immediately bowed to the Two Saints and said, "Please let the Holy Ones know that this disciple personally witnessed the Golden Cicada's cooking method; it would be better to entrust the task of cooking the Golden Cicada to this disciple, who will surely not disappoint the Holy Ones' trust!"

"Good!"

As the Pure Offering Immortal spoke, he waved his hand and handed the six-winged golden cicada that had just revived not long ago to the White Lotus Boy.

"Golden Cicada younger brother, for the myriad people of our Western World, you have worked hard!"

The White Lotus Boy said this and immediately twisted off the six-winged golden cicada's head.

After all, he clearly remembered that Ao Yifan had done exactly that back then.

In the White Lotus Boy's view, perhaps the six-winged golden cicada's head is not suitable for eating and should be twisted off beforehand.

Six-winged golden cicada: "I have an 8 a. m. class!"

Unfortunately, no one heeded the six-winged golden cicada's thoughts, and not long after, the fragrant aroma of the steamed six-winged golden cicada awakened countless cultivators of the Western World.

Pairs of greedy eyes stared fixedly at the steamed six-winged golden cicada.

No way, the resources of the Western world are too scarce!

……

Fellow Daoist, how is it?

Seeing Ao Yifan walk out of the quiet chamber, Zhenyuanzi, who had been waiting for three days and three nights, immediately went up to greet him.

Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission!

Ao Yifan said with a smile: 'I already know the clue to another ginseng fruit tree; we can set off immediately for the Chaos Sea to search for its whereabouts.'

That's wonderful!

Zhenyuanzi said somewhat excitedly.

Although he had confidence in his Heaven-Earth Treasure Mirror, he never imagined things would go so smoothly.

Immediately, the two soared into the clouds and flew toward the Chaos Sea beyond the heavens beyond heaven.

Huh? Did I forget something?

Suddenly, a thought arose in Zhenyuanzi's mind.

Forget it, no need to think about anything else; right now, the most important thing is still to find the clue to another ginseng fruit tree, which is crucial to my foundation for becoming a sage!
