Chapter 375: Heavenly Peng Marshal

"How about it, are you willing to give this child to my Western Teaching?"

Ao Yifan again asked Bai Suzhen.

After pretending to think for a moment, Bai Suzhen then nodded and said: "Since this child has an affinity with the Western Teaching, please treat this child well!"

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen lifted the child in her hands with both hands.

With a gesture of her right hand, the child flew into the embrace of Wen Dao Ren beside her.

Immediately after, Ao Yifan made a hand seal.

In the next moment, the immortals saw that the remaining Western Sect Fortune in the air was pinched by Ao Yifan at his fingertips.

Go!

With a flick of his finger, the condensed fortune landed on Bai Suzhen's brow.

What a rich fortune!

Watching this scene, many Severed Teaching immortals couldn't help but feel a little envious.

They could tell that a sage was helping Bai Suzhen condense the Western Teaching's fortune dharma form.

Unlike the Three Teachings immortals, practitioners of the Western Teaching mainly rely on fortune power to condense their dharma forms.

Condensing a fortune dharma form not only greatly enhances a practitioner's strength, but also accelerates their cultivation speed.

However, condensing a fortune dharma form requires consuming a vast amount of fortune power; even throughout the Western Teaching, only a few possess such a dharma form.

Boom—

Suddenly, when Bai Suzhen's fortune power reached its peak, the next moment a massive white dharma form of a human body with a snake tail coalesced above her head.

Just for giving birth to a child, the Western Teaching helps her condense a fortune dharma form—is it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Seeing the fortune dharma form in the air and the golden lotus mark condensed on Bai Suzhen's brow, the Severed Teaching immortals who initially looked down on her now felt a little envious.

There's nothing to be done; Ao Yifan gave far too much.

Fellow Daoist, from now on you are one of my Western Teaching's Buddhist Mothers; until we meet again by fate!

Having said that, Ao Yifan swept up his sleeves, taking Wen Dao Ren and the child with him as he departed.

However, although Ao Yifan left, the impact of this event could not be calmed for a long time.

Bai Suzhen rose to prominence through her son, leaping from an ordinary monster immortal to a Buddhist Mother of the Western Teaching.

Although, everyone doesn't understand why she is only one of them.

But the fortune dharma form condensed on her is a genuine benefit.

Moreover, this incident carries an even more important piece of information.

Lao Zi went west through Hangu Pass, turned the barbarians into Buddhas, and enlightened the sages!

Does this event mean that the Grand Purity Sacred Person has already laid plans in the Western Teaching?

……

Master?

Xuan Du City, the Xuan Du Grand Dharma Master raised his head to look toward the Master's location in the Grand Purity Sacred Realm.

After all, he had never heard of his master ever doing such a thing.

At the same time, the Grand Purity Sacred Person also furrowed his brows and waved his hand to summon the Grand Supreme Elder Lord back.

Their four eyes met, each seeing a hint of confusion in the other's gaze.

There's nothing to be done; they also don't know when they themselves carried out this act.

How?

The Grand Purity Sacred Person spoke.

I don't know!

The Grand Supreme Elder Lord shook his head.

Look for him?

The Grand Purity Sacred Person spoke again.

Troublesome!

The Grand Supreme Elder Lord shook his head again.

……

Grand Purity Sacred Person.

……

Grand Supreme Elder Lord.

Just then, a familiar voice reached both of their ears.

Master, I, Lao Zhuang, have been appointed by His Majesty as the Heavenly Peng Marshal, commanding all the Heavenly River Water Army!

Hearing this voice, the Grand Purity Sacred Person and the Grand Supreme Elder Lord exchanged a glance, and both of their eyes lit up involuntarily.

They dread trouble, but fortunately, someone capable has arrived.

At the same time, in Xuan Du City, Bian Zhuang, clad in shining silver armor, boasted: "From now on, that stretch of the Heavenly River is mine to command, as your disciple."

Seeing Bian Zhuang's smugness, the Xuan Du Grand Dharma Master said lightly: "Now, how many troops are available in the Heavenly River Water Army?"

Upon hearing this, Bian Zhuang's face stiffened, and he then somewhat embarrassedly uttered a number—

Eighty!

After saying that, even Bian Zhuang himself felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, he never expected that, as the commander of the Heavenly River Water Army, the Vast Heaven Supreme Deity would only allocate eighty heavenly soldiers to him.

However, His Majesty told me, Lao Zhuang, that I have the authority to recruit Heavenly River soldiers, up to a maximum of one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers!

Bian Zhuang then exclaimed excitedly: "One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, Master, just imagine how mighty your disciple will be then!"

Recruit heavenly soldiers?

This is, let Bian Zhuang train new people for the Heavenly Court?

I don't know, over at His Majesty the August Heavenly Emperor's side, whether they've given this disciple of mine resources; if they only gave him a quota for recruiting heavenly soldiers, isn't that just making my disciple do free labor for the Heavenly Court?

Looking at the silly Bian Zhuang, Xuan Du Grand Master couldn't help but ask: "Who came up with this method of recruiting heavenly soldiers?"

"It's Tai Bai!"

Bian Zhuang said without hesitation: "That guy Tai Bai has already come back; I saw her and told her, given my current relationship with the imperial son-in-law, His Majesty will definitely give me a high office; I never expected that His Majesty would actually ennoble me as a Marshal and give me the authority to recruit heavenly soldiers!"

"My disciple, did he offend Tai Bai?"

Xuan Du Grand Master frowned slightly, thinking: "Otherwise, how would Tai Bai give him such a troublesome Marshal position?"

80, expanded to 100,000!

The resources needed for recruiting, cultivating, and training heavenly soldiers are abundant.

Even the Xuan Du Grand Master can't imagine how arduous the days ahead will be for this disciple of his.

What's more, most importantly, the Xuan Du Grand Master has calculated that this disciple's official fortune seems not too good.

In other words, his position as Marshal Tianpeng is very likely to be removed later.

The Heavenly River Navy, painstakingly cultivated, ultimately still had its peaches taken.

Bian Zhuang, what else is this if not free labor for the Heavenly Court?

Such a wicked scheme, I really don't know who came up with it.

However, seeing Bian Zhuang's excited expression, the Xuan Du Grand Master also couldn't bluntly discourage him.

"Forget it, just treat it as his training."

The Xuan Du Grand Master shook his head.

As the saying goes, a master leads you to the door, but cultivation depends on the individual; the cultivation of Human Teaching disciples is mostly like this.

Even a master usually does not deliberately interfere with a disciple's path of cultivation.

Just then, a golden imperial decree flew forth.

"Again?"

He reached out to receive the decree, and the Xuan Du Grand Master, looking at its contents, couldn't help but frown.

He never expected that his master would actually have him investigate the matter of the Western Teaching's Buddhist Mother.

"A bit troublesome!"

He sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, the Xuan Du Grand Master glanced at the curious-looking Bian Zhuang beside him.

In the next moment, the Xuan Du Grand Master was seen looking toward Bian Zhuang, smiling and saying: "Disciple, you now need to recruit and cultivate heavenly soldiers, which certainly requires going to the lower realm; thus, I happen to have a task entrusted by a sage that you can handle for me along the way, alright?"
