Chapter 735: All restrictions can be undone

You were captured by Zhunti the Daoist and taken to the Western Teaching, not only had a Primordial Spirit Seal placed on you, but you were also converted for millions of years, nearly losing yourself.

Today I will undo Zhunti's seal and restore your freedom!

Regain freedom?

Kong Xuan hearing this could hardly believe his ears.

You know, Zhunti the Daoist is a Saint!

The Primordial Spirit Seal he placed inside himself, even for another Saint, would likely be hard to break.

This newly recognized sister of mine, could she really undo a Saint's seal?

Kong Xuan stared in shock at Wu Meiniang and asked:

"Sister, Zhunti is a Saint! Can you really undo a Saint's seal?"

As soon as Kong Xuan said that, Di Jun immediately laughed and interjected:

"Kong Xuan, Zhunti is just a Saint—what's so great about that?"

"The Holy Maiden is an existence above Saints! Having such a sister is a tremendous blessing!"

An existence above Saints?

Kong Xuan was completely dazed.

This newly recognized sister of mine is actually this powerful?

Wu Meiniang hearing Di Jun's praise actually felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, her cultivation level is only Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But she represents Ye Qin's image, so she naturally cannot appear weak.

Thus, Wu Meiniang smiled faintly and said to Kong Xuan:

"Kong Xuan, my younger brother, you need not worry. I am an emissary of the Holy Lord; in my eyes, Zhunti's seal is utterly insignificant!"

"Now I will undo the Primordial Spirit Seal within you and restore your freedom!"

Having said that, Wu Meiniang began to exercise her Divine Ability.

Golden runes, as if derived from the Great Dao, swiftly flew into Kong Xuan's Divine Sea.

In Kong Xuan's Divine Sea, a Primordial Spirit Seal emanating Saint's aura tightly enveloped his Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, brilliant Buddha Light Filaments formed chains that tightly bound his Primordial Spirit.

Whether the Primordial Spirit Seal or the Buddha Light Filaments, both are extraordinary; even if the Three Pure Ones or Nüwa acted, breaking them would not be easy.

However, when those golden runes contacted the Primordial Spirit Seal and the Buddha Light Filaments, the seal set by Zhunti the Daoist himself and the filaments blessed for millions of years melted away like snow in the sun!

In just a moment, Kong Xuan's Primordial Spirit Seal and Buddha Light Filaments completely vanished!

He had fully returned to normal, no longer the Great Peacock Wisdom King, but had rediscovered himself!

Feeling the astonishing change within him, Kong Xuan grew so moved his eyes reddened:

"I... I am finally free!"

Even facing a Saint, he would not bow his head.

But proud as he was, after enduring the Buddhist Sect's long imprisonment, upon regaining freedom he could not help but weep with excitement.

After a moment, Kong Xuan calmed his emotions.

He bowed deeply to Wu Meiniang.

"Thank you, sister, for helping me out of trouble!"

Wu Meiniang laughed and waved her hand.

"Since we are siblings, there's no need to be so polite..."

She then added:

"However, Kong Xuan, you must be grateful to the Holy Lord!"

"If the Holy Lord had not issued the mission, letting Di Jun rescue you, you couldn't even leave Spirit Mountain, let alone regain freedom!"

Kong Xuan, hearing this, nodded and said:

"Sister, Kong Xuan understands..."

Immediately, Kong Xuan deeply bowed toward the Holy Court Hall.

"Kong Xuan thanks the Holy Lord for the grace of rescue!"

Seeing Kong Xuan respectfully thank Ye Qin, Wu Meiniang smiled and nodded, continuing:

"Kong Xuan, now I will inscribe the Holy Court Mark on you, making you an official member of the Holy Court."

Having received the Holy Court's favor, regained freedom, and realized its strength through what he saw and heard, Kong Xuan naturally would not refuse to join the Holy Court.

He nodded and said: "Trouble you, sister..."

Wu Meiniang smiled and exercised her Divine Ability again.

"Hum..."

In an instant, the Holy Court Mark was branded onto Kong Xuan, making him a trainee member of the Holy Court.

After Wu Meiniang helped Kong Xuan inscribe the mark, she also gave him a Holy Court phone and detailed all the Holy Court's information.

Afterward, Wu Meiniang personally led Kong Xuan to the residence of the Holy Court reserve members.

Originally, Zu Long occupied Heaven Equal Room One, Xiao Bailong, due to Zu Long's relation, took Heaven Equal Room Two, Di Jun took Heaven Equal Room Three, and Lu Ya took Heaven Equal Room Four.

But now, Kong Xuan, possessing top-tier Quasi-Sage strength, has arrived. Because of Wu Meiniang's relation, Zu Long naturally would not let Xiao Bailong continue occupying Heaven Equal Room Two.

Thus, Kong Xuan moved into Heaven Equal Room Two, second only to Zu Long.

After settling in the Holy Court, Kong Xuan did not rush to leave to seek revenge on the Buddhist Sect.

Those long years of imprisonment were, for him, both torment and tempering.

After such a long period of training, he deeply knew he still needed to work harder.

He even felt that, with his current strength, even if he faced the Tathagata Buddha, his chances of victory were not great.

What's more, his true enemy was the Zhunti Daoist dwelling in the Chaos Extreme Bliss World.

Therefore, Kong Xuan prepared to strive in the Holy Court to complete his mission, hoping to become a Saint as soon as possible.

By then, he could go to the Chaos Extreme Bliss World to find the Zhunti Daoist and take revenge!

After Kong Xuan settled in the Holy Court, Ye Qin glanced at Kong Xuan, who had entered a cultivation state, and praised:

"No wonder Kong Xuan could win the renown of the first Quasi-Saint in the Investiture of the Gods; besides his Five-Colored Divine Light, his efforts are inseparable from that!"

After praising Kong Xuan, Ye Qin's gaze turned again to the Heaven-Viewing Mirror.

Looking at the image of Tang Sanzang and Spirit Mountain displayed on the Heaven-Viewing Mirror, Ye Qin silently thought:

"For now, the affairs of the Dragon Clan and the Buddhist Sect are settled; the Journey to the West will continue..."

"It can be foreseen that, after Spirit Mountain's damage affects the Buddhist Sect's fortune, the Sect will surely value the Journey to the West even more, hoping to use it to restore the Sect's fortune and make the Sect flourish!"

"The Journey to the West requires enduring eighty-one tribulations; the tribulation of losing the horse at Yingchou Gully has basically ended, and next is the tribulation of encountering a fire calamity at the Guanyin Zen Monastery at night."

Ye Qin recalled various matters concerning the Guanyin Zen Monastery in his mind:

"The Buddhist Sect arranged this tribulation because the former abbot of the Guanyin Zen Monastery, Elder Jinchi, coveted Tang Sanzang's golden kasaya, gave rise to greed, and actually set fire at midnight, attempting to burn Tang Sanzang to death."

"Speaking frankly, this tribulation is rather perfunctory. Since the Buddhist Sect wants to set fire, I'll just add a more intense fire for them!"

"But what kind of fire should I add?"

Thinking of this, Ye Qin's mind conjured various flames: the Golden Crow True Fire of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the Phoenix True Fire of the Fire Phoenix, the Samadhi True Fire of the Red Boy...

Ye Qin pondered repeatedly, but ultimately rejected each of those flames.

Finally, he made a decision:

"Among humanity, when it comes to the fame of fire, it still has to be the Kirin True Fire of the Fire Kirin!"

"After all, the mount of Shennong, one of the Three Sovereigns of humanity, was a Fire Kirin!" "If we add a Kirin True Fire to help the Buddhist Sect, it will surely cause a greater commotion!"

Having determined the type of fire, Ye Qin lightly stroked his chin and pondered:

"The Fire Kirins existing in the world today, aside from Shennong's specimen, have bloodlines too dilute to be of great use."

"If so, then let us revive the First-Generation Fire Kirin and have it unleash this fire!"

After making the decision, with the System's assistance, Ye Qin needed only a thought to enter the boundless Chaos Time River.

"Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…"

Ye Qin followed the Chaos Time River upstream and found the traces of the First-Generation Fire Kirin in the Time River.

Speaking of this First-Generation Fire Kirin, when it was born, heaven and earth once displayed an extraordinarily grand omen.

Upon birth, it already possessed the cultivation of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal; although its foundation could not compare to the Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, Emperor Jun, and Taiyi—those innate gods and demons—it was still quite remarkable.

The Kirin True Fire of the First-Generation Fire Kirin is even able to rival the Golden Crow True Fire of the Three-Legged Golden Crow as a top-tier flame.

It started high, had great talent, and before long had cultivated to the Early Quasi-Saint realm.

However, in the Dragon-Han Calamity, an Early Quasi-Saint was not particularly conspicuous.

In the end, it fell like the Original Kirin in that great calamity.

After obtaining information about the First-Generation Fire Kirin, Ye Qin glanced at the Shock Points required to revive it.

When he saw that reviving the peak-state First-Generation Fire Kirin required 120 million Shock Points, Ye Qin merely raised his eyebrows slightly.

For him, who now possesses up to 46.5 billion Shock Points, a mere 120 million Shock Points is nothing—trivial, not enough to make him feel any pain.

Thus, Ye Qin hesitated not in choosing to revive the peak-state First-Generation Fire Kirin.

With Ye Qin's command issued, the System instantly deducted 120 million Shock Points.

Immediately after.

"Boom!"

Before the Holy Court's palace hall, above the ancient stone platform named the Revival Platform, a huge crimson-gold flame appeared out of nowhere.

This crimson-gold flame's temperature was scorching, able to rival the Golden Crow True Fire.

The tremendous power it released even caused the surrounding void to faintly ripple.

"Roar……"

Within the crimson-gold flame, a divine beast with a dragon's head, tiger's back, and crimson-gold scaled armor slowly emerged, exuding a majestic aura.

It was precisely the son of the Original Kirin—the First-Generation Fire Kirin!

The birth of the First-Generation Fire Kirin drew the attention of all members of the Holy Court.

Seeing the Fire Kirin appear on the Revival Platform, the Ancestral Dragon blinked slightly:

"My Lord Holy Master, did you revive the son of the Original Kirin?"

"What's happening today? First, the son of the Primordial Phoenix joined the Holy Court, and now the son of the Original Kirin joins the Holy Court…"

"My own son is also outstanding; when will they be able to join the Holy Court?"

Lu Ya gazed at the Kirin True Fire coiling around the Fire Kirin's body, secretly marveling:

"Its fire is no inferior to my Golden Crow True Fire! Could it be the First-Generation Fire Kirin?"

The Six-Eared Macaque looked at the Fire Kirin with a full-face smile:

"The Holy Court has another newcomer!"

"Unknowingly, I've come to be considered an old-timer of the Holy Court..."

In the midst of Ancestral Dragon and the others' discussion.

After the Primeval Fire Qilin revived, its thoughts remained stuck at the moment of its demise, and murderous aura surged around its body.

After a moment, the Primeval Fire Qilin realized something was wrong, and muttered to itself:

"I clearly have already fallen, what is going on?"

Just then, three pleasant voices rang out beside the Primeval Fire Qilin's ears:

Fire Kirin, think carefully— the answer you seek is already in your mind.

A sudden voice rang out, startling the First-Generation Fire Kirin. You know, it's a powerhouse with quasi-saint cultivation level— yet someone could appear silently beside it without it noticing at all?

In astonishment, the First-Generation Fire Kirin turned its gaze toward Wu Meiniang.

As a result, it became even more astonished.

The First-Generation Fire Kirin discovered that, relying on its Kirin Divine Eye, it could not see through Wu Meiniang's background at all!

"What kind of existence is this woman? Could she be the Yuan Feng?!"

In the First-Generation Fire Kirin's view, on the Honghuang Continent, the only woman it couldn't see through should be Yuan Feng alone.

After making a guess in its mind, the First-Generation Fire Kirin recalled Wu Meiniang's recent words and began to ponder carefully.

With this recollection, myriad information surfaced in the First-Generation Fire Kirin's mind.

It hadn't misremembered; it had indeed perished in the Dragon Han Great Calamity!

Not only it, but its father the First Kirin, its brothers and sisters, even the likes of Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng— all such powerhouses had perished!

The reason it was revived again was that the Lord of the Holy Court thought its talent was not bad and casually brought it back to life!

Its current location is the Holy Court Small World opened up by the Lord of the Holy Court.

After being revived by the Lord of the Holy Court, it automatically became a probationary member of the Holy Court Organization and was branded with the Holy Court Mark.

"You casually revived me?!"

"This Lord of the Holy Court is truly terrifying!"

The First-Generation Fire Kirin could not imagine how unfathomable an existence the Lord of the Holy Court must be, able to revive it with a casual gesture.

As the First-Generation Fire Kirin marveled, Ancestral Dragon spoke. It addressed it in an elder's tone:

"Little Fire, you too have been revived..."

The First-Generation Fire Kirin naturally knew Ancestral Dragon; upon seeing it, it was immediately startled and shuddered.

As an opposing species, in the First-Generation Fire Kirin's eyes, Ancestral Dragon was nothing short of a great demon!

How could such a nightmare-like creature appear before it?

In the memories given to it by the Holy Court, Ancestral Dragon wasn't already fallen?

Suddenly, the First-Generation Fire Kirin recalled Ancestral Dragon saying, "You too have been revived."

Doesn't this indicate that Ancestral Dragon, like it, was also revived by the Lord of the Holy Court?

The First-Generation Fire Kirin could hardly believe any of this.

You should know, Zupan is one of the three mighty figures that resound across the Honghuang Continent!

Just how formidable is he? He can actually contend simultaneously against his own father and the two top powerhouses, Yuan Feng!

For an existence as extraordinarily powerful as Ancestral Dragon, the Lord of the Holy Court could actually revive it as well?

The First-Generation Fire Kirin was so shocked that its speech began to stutter:

"Ancestral Dragon, you… you too were revived by the Lord of the Holy Court?"

Seeing the First-Generation Fire Kirin's astonished expression, Ancestral Dragon couldn't help but smile and replied:

"That's right, this old ancestor was indeed revived by the Holy Lord!"

Hearing Ancestral Dragon's affirmative reply, the First-Generation Fire Kirin felt its inner turmoil like an overturned sea, and it stood there stunned.

He thought, what a mighty organization he had joined! This was when the First-Generation Fire Kirin was revived by Ye Qin.

Near Eagle Sorrow Gully.

After Sun Wukong led a horde of demons in a great uproar at Spirit Mountain, he returned contentedly to Tang Sanzang's dwelling. (End of chapter)
