Chapter 775

When leaving the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, all three of them very carefully hid their figures and auras to avoid being watched by the Holy Emperor's people nearby!

After all, when Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan came, Jiang Hongyan hadn't obtained the Immortal Hidden Grass yet, so the Holy Emperor must have known she came to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. But now, with the Immortal Hidden Grass, plus Buddha Master Zeng's powerful Divine Sense coverage, the three of them left without a sound.

After transferring through several teleportation arrays and spending more than ten days, the three of them finally stopped outside a remote mountain village in the Tongtian Kingdom.

"Act according to the plan. This seat will go to the Imperial Palace first to find trouble with that old guy and lure him out of the palace. The rest can only depend on yourselves. However, that old guy is suspicious by nature, so time might be a bit tight. You'd better get the Dao-Attaining Tree within three days!" Buddha Master Zeng instructed solemnly.

According to the plan they had deployed along the way, Buddha Master Zeng would set off first. After the Holy Emperor was lured away, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan would sneak into the Imperial Palace and steal the Dao-Attaining Tree.

No matter how you look at it, this was just a very simple and rough plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but it couldn't be denied that this was currently the most convenient, fast, and highest success rate plan!

After Buddha Master Zeng left his words, he hurried away toward the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Because they were racing against time now, the faster they took action, the more favorable it would be for them!

Xu Que watched Buddha Master Zeng's disappearing back, raised the corner of his mouth: "Let's go, Hongyan, let's follow!"

"Hmm? Aren't we supposed to set off two hours later?" Jiang Hongyan asked curiously.

"That was just something to say to him. If we really wait two hours, in case he betrays us, we will be in danger instead!" Xu Que shook his head and said.

He had never been a person who liked to wait.

According to his personality, even if Buddha Master Zeng left a good impression on him, it was impossible to trust the other party without reservation, so Xu Que had to formulate another set of plans belonging to him and Jiang Hongyan!

Otherwise, if they were really betrayed by Buddha Master Zeng, waiting here would be like throwing themselves into a trap, which was too passive!

"Don't worry, little guy, with the Buddha Master's character, he won't betray his promise. Besides, if he wanted to be unfavorable to us, he would have done it himself long ago, and wouldn't have used such means!" Jiang Hongyan smiled softly, telling Xu Que not to be too vigilant, wanting him to relax a bit.

Xu Que shook his head again and said: "I also believe the Buddha Master is not that kind of person, but it's better to be safe than sorry! And my new plan now is the most perfect one, more effective than the previous plan. This time, we'll just use a surprise attack, coordinate with the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and do both at the same time!"

"Good!" Jiang Hongyan looked at Xu Que's expression and nodded with a smile. No matter what, she believed in the decision Xu Que made.

And so, just after Buddha Master Zeng left, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan set off quickly toward the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Xu Que's new plan was actually just a small change to the original plan. He wanted to take a shortcut and arrive at the Imperial Palace one step ahead of the Buddha Master!

For ten days, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan used teleportation arrays, racing against time, and arrived outside the Imperial Palace!

Xu Que was shocked on the spot.

In his view, the Imperial Palace should be similar to the Imperial Palace in the Five Elements Mountain, or at most a larger and more magnificent Imperial Palace!

But he never expected to see a heavenly palace suspended high in the sky, cast from countless Han White Spirit Jade!

This was almost the same as the mythological TV series he watched when he was a child on Earth. All around were ethereal spiritual mists, and only that looming heavenly palace looked exceptionally immortal.

"Little girl, my god, did you live here in your previous life? No wonder, I said I couldn't have guessed wrong. When I first saw you, I felt you must be a fairy, and a fairy who could only... cough cough, no, anyway, you are a fairy! Too incredible!" Xu Que was horrified and very amazed.

Because he had been in the cultivation world for so long, he had seen countless Dharma spells and countless magnificent buildings, but this was the first time he had seen such a magnificent building that was completely floating in the air, like a heavenly palace, full of immortal energy!

Only at this moment did he realize that he felt a step closer to the unreachable immortals!

At least "attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal" no longer felt like an ethereal thing!

"In my memory, this is a cold and ruthless place, and there are no beautiful memories worth recalling!" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan looked at the Imperial Palace with a complex expression and said softly.

Xu Que knew she remembered some bad things. In her previous life, she had been controlled by the Holy Emperor as a puppet since childhood. The result of his careful cultivation was to extract her soul and implant it into the Dao-Attaining Tree.

Later, he even killed her and used an immortal artifact to make her reincarnate, turning her into an existence that seized the creation of heaven and earth and contended for the fortune of all things.

But all of this was still the Holy Emperor planning for his own future. Once he refined the Dao-Attaining Fruit and refined that wisp of Jiang Hongyan's soul, he could seize Jiang Hongyan's current fortune for his own use.

It was hard to imagine how frantic a person could be to do such a thing to their own child!

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get back what he bullied you for, with interest!" Xu Que turned his head, looked at Jiang Hongyan, and reached out to gently scrape her nose.

Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly, her aura out of the ordinary, beautiful enough to make everything else pale in comparison!

Boom!

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the distant clouds.

A golden light tore through the clouds and appeared outside the Imperial Palace in the blink of an eye, turning into a figure. It was Buddha Master Zeng who had just arrived!

He really kept his promise. Once he arrived, he opened his Divine Sense without hesitation and shouted angrily.

"Old Man Ji, come out and explain clearly, where did my Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect offend you?"

As the words fell, Buddha Master Zeng put his palms together, and his whole body bloomed with strands of dazzling golden light, like the power to purify everything in the world, suddenly shining in all directions!

Xu Que was hiding in the distance, hearing Buddha Master Zeng's roar, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Old Man Ji?

So, Jiang Hongyan's previous life was surnamed Ji. Then should I call her Ji Hongyan or Jiang Hongyan in the future?

"Boom!"

At this moment, a terrifying loud sound rang out, and the golden light on the Buddha Master's body had already bombarded the Imperial Palace!

Outside the Imperial Palace, a hemispherical light curtain flashed instantly, blocking the golden light, but it also became dim on the spot!

Then, with a crisp sound of "clatter", the vast light curtain instantly cracked and shattered!

However, just as the formation was about to be destroyed, a transcendent Dao Rhyme suddenly swept out from the Imperial Palace!

Boom!

Under a loud sound, the Buddha Master's golden light was instantly scattered.

Following that, a pair of golden phoenixes pulling a carriage, stepping on auspicious light and color, stepped out from the ethereal spiritual mist.

In the carriage sat a man wearing a golden dragon robe, with white hair but a child-like face, and skin as smooth and tender as a baby's!

He looked indifferent, had the imperial aura of not being angry but prestigious, high above, with an aggressive momentum, swept his eyes toward Buddha Master Zeng, and asked in a deep voice: "Fat Buddha, what do you mean? Do you want to go to war with me?"

"Hmph, what do I mean? I want to ask you what you mean! Your daughter brought a young man to my Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to cause trouble and stole my Immortal Hidden Grass. You tell me, what does this mean?" Buddha Master Zeng didn't retreat at all, but instead pushed his momentum further, directly crushing toward the Holy Emperor!

"Nonsense! My daughter has been in closed-door cultivation in the Imperial Palace and has never left. How could she appear in your Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect? Is it that your brain has gone bad from praying to Buddha?" The Holy Emperor snorted coldly.

Buddha Master Zeng was already full of anger and shouted loudly: "My Buddha is merciful! This seat will send you across the sea of suffering today!"

Boom!

Before the Sanskrit sound ended, Buddha Master Zeng put his palms together and slapped forward suddenly.

At this moment, he was truly angry. The Holy Emperor looked down on his Buddhist learning, which was equivalent to provoking the faith and deity he pursued!

"Presumptuous! Do you really want to fight me?" The Holy Emperor also frowned at this moment and shouted in a deep voice.

Because the Buddha Master's strike was already for real, clearly intending to fight a great battle.

However, the Buddha Master ignored it. After one palm was blasted out, a golden-light-shining Buddha seal suddenly rushed toward the Holy Emperor.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? You can't even look after your own things, and you dare to come to me to seek justice! Death!" The Holy Emperor shouted angrily, darted from the carriage, stepped lightly on the head of the golden phoenix, and waved a piece of purple radiance from his palm, like purple air coming from the east, suddenly rushing toward Buddha Master Zeng.

Boom!

Two great experts at the peak of the Mahayana Stage fought, and the collision of Dharma techniques was incredibly terrifying!

The entire void was shattered, cracking open one after another.

Fortunately, Buddha Master Zeng intended to lure the battle, and the more he fought with the Holy Emperor, the further away they got, and the battlefield gradually moved away from the Imperial Palace.

"So this is the true strength of the peak of the Mahayana Stage! By comparison, that Qin Wei really doesn't count for anything..." Xu Que was horrified in his heart, and also glad that he hadn't been impulsive and come to find the Holy Emperor rashly.

But now that Buddha Master Zeng was dragging him, it was time for him to take action!

"Little guy, follow me, the Dao-Attaining Tree is hidden in the Imperial Palace!" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan opened her mouth, preparing to take Xu Que into the Imperial Palace!

Xu Que suddenly grabbed her with one hand and smiled: "Little girl, wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hongyan was stunned.

Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I want him to lose more than just a Dao-Attaining Tree!"

Jiang Hongyan was even more confused, not quite understanding Xu Que's meaning.

There was only one Dao-Attaining Tree. If it could be taken away, it would be to make the Holy Emperor's hard work of these past thousand years go to waste, a price sufficient to make him feel heartbroken!

"Remember the rules of the Exploding Heaven Gang?" Xu Que narrowed his eyes, suddenly looked at the huge and vast Imperial Palace in front of him, and sneered: "Exploding Heaven sets out, not a blade of grass grows! Exploding Heaven appears, only needles and thread remain!

He bullied you back then, and in this life, I will help you get it back with interest. Let's take this Imperial Palace as interest first!"

As the words fell, in Jiang Hongyan's stunned gaze, Xu Que's figure suddenly blurred, turning into a stream of light, suddenly darting toward the Imperial Palace.

Boom!

He waved his large hand, a vast True Essence surged from his body, and at the same time, he summoned the system interface and shouted: "System, open the second Immortal Artifact Collection Pavilion and take the entire Imperial Palace for me! Remember to leave him a needle and thread!"
