Chapter 339: He Hua Zi Zai, the Dao Ancestor of He Hua!
Wuzhuang Temple.
"Hahaha, congratulations to fellow Daoist Xuanzang for stepping into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm today; from now on, you are undying and imperishable, existing alongside the Dao."
Zhenyuanzi flew over and spoke his congratulations.
Sun Wukong and Bajie, however, frowned and retreated behind Xuanzang.
There was no help for it; Zhenyuanzi, this Diliu, was truly too strong, and they could not block him at all.
At this moment, Xuanzang's combat power was completely different from before; he had undergone a thorough transformation.
"Brother Zhenyuan, what medicine are you really selling in this gourd?" Xuanzang said calmly, his gaze much more tranquil.
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi explained: "Xuanzang, if I didn't pressure you, how would you know that your body actually contains unimaginable potential?"
"Oh, so I should thank you?" Xuanzang said.
"That is not necessary, Xuanzang."
Zhenyuanzi waved his hand, indicating that he did good deeds without seeking recognition.
"Master, don't believe him; he even wanted to use that Great Luo Dao fire to burn me," Sun Wukong said.
"You monkey, you do not recognize my good intentions. Your Indestructible Vajra Body suffered five hundred years of suppression under Huaguoshan, as well as wind, sun, and the poison of the mud pill, which greatly affected your root and potential.
If I did not use this Great Luo Dao fire to temper you, I fear you would be stuck at the Golden Immortal Realm forever," Zhenyuanzi said.
Sun Wukong then said: "Heh, I thank you, then. Guess whether I believe you! You old geezer, you must have seen that my master broke through and felt he was not easy to handle, which is why you changed your attitude."
"That's right, Zhenyuan Daxian, and to think I admired you so much," Bajie said.
"It was a misunderstanding; haven't things turned from bitterness to sweetness now?" Zhenyuanzi said.
"A misunderstanding, Brother Zhenyuan. I said not long ago that no one is allowed to bully my disciples. You must give an explanation today, or I will tear down your Wuzhuang Temple," Xuanzang said.
"Xuanzang, although you have broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, you are still far behind old-school powerhouses like me," Zhenyuanzi said calmly.
"Is that so? Then I shall ask for your guidance, Brother, to see just how profound your cultivation really is," Xuanzang said.
As his words fell, Xuanzang struck at Zhenyuanzi directly.
With the Golden Light of Earthly Flight, following like a shadow, he arrived beside Zhenyuanzi in an instant, raised his right hand, and unleashed the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, his body manifesting the Six Paths as Daluo Great Power erupted.
"Good fist technique!"
Zhenyuanzi smiled indifferently, lightly flicked his horsetail whisk, and golden light emerged beneath his feet as well.
He knew the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations too! And his were faster and more elegant.
"Sleeve Universe!"
Zhenyuanzi unleashed his divine ability, and a black vortex appeared in the Void, its terrifying power of Devour sucking in all things.
Xuanzang took out the Banana Leaf Fan and, reinforcing it with Great Luo magic power, swung it straight out, causing the devouring force of the Sleeve Universe to flow in reverse.
Watching this battle between Immortals, Bajie, Sun Wukong, and Bailong were all dazzled.
If it were them, they would struggle to last even a single move and would have knelt one after another.
"Mediation of Creation!"
Xuanzang used the Mediation of Creation from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations; stars appeared in his palms, all created by the power of creation, each containing immense energy.
Once thrown, dozens of stars smashed toward Zhenyuanzi.
Zhenyuanzi handled it calmly, flicked his whisk again, and said:
"Moving Stars and Changing Dippers!"
As his words fell, those dozens of stars reversed direction and attacked Xuanzang instead.
Seeing this, Xuanzang stretched out a hand, mimicked the Sleeve Universe to use a palm-based divine ability, covered the sun, moon, and stars with one hand, and squeezed tightly, shattering them all.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Zhenyuanzi praised.
For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, every casual strike is a marvelous divine ability.
Having just entered the Great Luo realm, Xuanzang was already using various divine abilities with ease, his strength not weak.
Xuanzang frowned, not expecting Zhenyuanzi to also be proficient in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations; he feared the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends were the same. With the same techniques and divine abilities, he could not break the moves.
But having been schemed against by Zhenyuanzi this time, if he did not vent his anger, his thoughts would not be clear.
"Zhenyuanzi, I wonder if you can block this divine ability."
Xuanzang said, then clapped his hands together, and a portal containing the power of time and space appeared behind him, saying:
"Mythical Secret Art: He Hua Zi Zai!"
One could see the sentient beings of heaven and earth, the Chaos universe, and strands of Karma threads manifesting physically and swirling around Xuanzang.
Those Karma threads connected the past, future, present, Chaos, and even endless time and space.
Hum...
The Time and Space Gate vibrated, and vast auras were released from the cracks in the gate.
"Could it be?" Zhenyuanzi seemed to have thought of something.
"Resting on the nine-layered clouds, on a cattail mat, I realized the truth. Outside the Tian Di Xuan Huang, I shall be the honored teacher."
A Daoist in grey robes walked out, a Jade Butterfly atop his head, his aura mysterious, his body one with the Dao, appearing like the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, making one feel awe.
"Dao Ancestor!
" Zhenyuanzi widened his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
It was not just Zhenyuanzi?
Even Taishang Laojun in the Thirty-Three Heavens felt his body tremble, his spirit invigorated, and he blurted out:
"Teacher?"
"How is this possible? Didn't Teacher merge with the Dao? Why is he still here?"
In the Heavenly Court, at the High Heaven Palace.
The entire court of Immortals had become mere spectators.
"Dao Ancestor."
The Jade Emperor was shocked; no one in this heaven and earth understood the Dao Ancestor better than he did.
Yet the Dao Ancestor had long since merged with the Dao, so how could he appear again, and with such a strange aura?
"Dao Ancestor." Wangmu Niangniang was moved; she never imagined that the Dao Ancestor would appear.
"What kind of divine ability did this Xuanzang use? How did he summon a Cloning of the Dao Ancestor?" Taibai Jinxing said.
At this moment, he had not yet headed to the West, preparing to watch this play to the end.
One must know that a Saint does not touch Karma, and the past and future are all one.
Like this with Xuanzang, the Dao Ancestor himself would certainly have sensed it.
How could Xuanzang possibly bear the Karma of a Saint?
"I cannot see through it, I cannot see through it," Li Jing said, shaking his head.
"Nonsense, Li Jing, with your cultivation, how could you possibly understand?" Zhao Gongming mocked.
He was the first of the third generation of the Jie Sect, and back then he was a genuine Great Luo Golden Immortal, beating the Golden Immortal of Chan Sect until they cried for their parents and finally went to find their elders.
As for Li Jing, his seniority was low, and he was merely a small Qi Refining Scholar.
If it weren't for the glory of the Investiture of the Gods, how could he be a deity in the Heavenly Court? With his talent, even if he could cultivate to become an immortal, he would at most be an Earth Immortal.
It was no wonder he mocked Li Jing for having no discernment.
As the mysterious Five Heavenly Kings outside the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, Li Jing had held a high position for many years and controlled military power, so he was naturally arrogant as well.
Moreover, in his eyes, Zhao Gongming was nothing more than a stray dog, so he said unceremoniously:
"God of Wealth Zhao, if you can understand it, what are you still doing here?"
"Li Jing, what do you mean? Do you want to fight?" Zhao Gongming rebuked angrily.
"Zhao Gongming, I am not you; do not say things that are detrimental to the unity of the Heavenly Court again," Li Jing said proudly, casting a light glance.
Hearing this, Zhao Gongming was furious!
He truly wished he could eat his Flesh, sleep on his Skin, and drink his blood!
"Enough, stop arguing. If you argue again, go down and keep Tianpeng company," the Jade Emperor said with a dark face.
Hearing this, Zhao Gongming and Li Jing fell silent.
But the secret Transformation of Xuanzang was far more than this!
