Chapter 138: The White Bone Spirit and Long Ji Gongzhu

Just as Panhuang was observing the White Bone Spirit, Xuanzang and the others also arrived at White Tiger Ridge.

After Xuanzang and the others entered White Tiger Ridge, they were targeted immediately.

At this time, in the White Bone Cave.

"Madam, the scripture seeker has already arrived at our White Tiger Ridge." A small demon with a fox head was bowing to a seductive-looking woman.

"Have they arrived? I have been waiting for you for a long time. As long as I eat the meat of this scripture seeker, I can live forever, and then I can truly be resurrected. By that time, Father and Mother can also live forever, and Father should be able to return to the Heavenly Court by relying on the meat of this scripture seeker." The White Bone Spirit muttered to herself.

After Panhuang heard the White Bone Spirit's words, he said to himself that it was indeed so.

Before, when he was on White Tiger Ridge, he felt a bit strange. This White Tiger Ridge did not have any demonic Qi, and even the small demons here did not have demonic Qi. Instead, there was a faint immortal Qi on them. Although this immortal Qi was very faint, it was very pure. Such immortal Qi was either from a loose cultivator who had succeeded in cultivation, a loose immortal who had failed to cross the tribulation, or someone from the Heavenly Court.

Panhuang calculated at the time and discovered that this White Bone Spirit was indeed someone from the Heavenly Court, and her status in the Heavenly Court was not low; she was Long Ji Gongzhu, the daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

As for why she became the White Bone Spirit on this White Tiger Ridge, it actually had an indirect relationship with Panhuang.

Back then, in front of Green Dragon Pass, the Human Dao defeated the Heavenly Dao, and the Yin Shang defeated the Heavenly Court. Since her birth, Long Ji Gongzhu had never been in contact with the Great Desolation, nor had she ever seen the dangers of the Great Desolation.

After hearing that the Heavenly Court had been defeated by a group of mortals, she thought about going down to the mortal world to find trouble with these mortals; she wanted to help her Father and Mother vent their anger.

After Long Ji Gongzhu went down to the mortal world, she met Hong Jin. The two of them originally had a marriage bond. After a period of contact, Long Ji Gongzhu was attracted by Hong Jin, and Hong Jin was also attracted by Long Ji Gongzhu. Just like that, the two of them logically got together.

When the two of them first got together, they were inseparable!

Long Ji Gongzhu was a princess of the Heavenly Court, and Hong Jin was a disciple of the Jie Sect, under the tutelage of a Saint. The two of them could be said to be a match made in heaven.

But when Hong Jin was breaking through, everything changed.

When Hong Jin was breaking through, he directly devoured Long Ji Gongzhu. He used Long Ji Gongzhu's essence, blood, and cultivation to help himself break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Afterwards, he even threw Long Ji Gongzhu's corpse casually on this White Tiger Ridge.

During the Great War of the Three Clans, a member of the White Tiger clan at the Quasi-Saint realm had fallen on this White Tiger Ridge.

So this place was full of the resentment and evil Qi of that Quasi-Saint. It just so happened that Long Ji Gongzhu was killed by the person she loved the most. Her primordial spirit broke free from the summons of the Netherworld, and in the end, she was trapped in her corpse because of the resentment and evil Qi.

When Hong Jin threw her here, her own resentment resonated with the resentment on White Tiger Ridge, and then Long Ji Gongzhu's corpse absorbed the resentment and evil Qi of White Tiger Ridge.

After absorbing the resentment of White Tiger Ridge, Long Ji Gongzhu's primordial spirit could finally control her corpse, but the price was the dissipation of all her flesh and blood, leaving only white bones.

In order to remember the harm Hong Jin had brought to her, Long Ji Gongzhu called herself Madam White Bone, and then she occupied the mountain and became the king here.

She spent a hundred years digesting the resentment and evil Qi in her body, and then she began to practice the techniques of the Heavenly Court.

Long Ji Gongzhu was the daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and her talent was unquestionable. In fifty years, she successfully switched her cultivation and transformed her demonic Qi into immortal Qi.

Afterwards, Long Ji Gongzhu enlightened some small demons. Because she had already successfully switched to the Heavenly Court's techniques, the small demons she enlightened also had no demonic Qi.

Initially, when Long Ji Gongzhu transformed her demonic Qi into immortal Qi, she thought about returning to the Heavenly Court, but she failed in the end.

Afterwards, she had been looking for a way to resurrect. Only after resurrection could she return to the Heavenly Court. By chance, she received news that eating the meat of the scripture seeker could lead to immortality, and could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on white bones.

It just so happened that her White Tiger Ridge was on the way to obtain the scriptures, so she waited here for the scripture seeker to come to her door.

Two hundred years ago, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother reincarnated. Long Ji Gongzhu found their reincarnation immediately, but because she was a demon, she had no way to help the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, so her determination to hunt the scripture seeker became even stronger.

When Panhuang calculated all this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In this life, I guess you are the only one who is genuinely wanting to eat Tang Monk meat!"

Just as Panhuang was speaking, he saw Xuanzang and the others enter White Tiger Ridge.

"Someone is monitoring us in the dark!" Sun Wukong discovered the person monitoring them in the dark immediately and said in a low voice.

"It's very strange. The demons in this White Tiger Ridge actually have no demonic Qi, but a faint immortal Qi instead!" Dapeng frowned and said.

"When we meet the master of this White Tiger Ridge, won't we understand what is going on?" Xuanzang said with a smile.

"Let's go! The master of this White Tiger Ridge probably is also very interested in us, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent people to monitor us." Ao Mo'ang said.

"Madam!"

"What is it?" The White Bone Spirit asked the small demon in front of her.

"The scripture seeker and the others are very strong! Stronger than you, Madam!" The small demon hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Go and prepare!" Long Ji Gongzhu said coldly.

She didn't take the small demon's words to heart at all. These small demons had never seen the world, and their understanding of the strong was limited, so they said everyone was very strong when they saw them.

Soon, Long Ji Gongzhu gathered all the small demons. She knew that these small demons were no match for the scripture seeker, and she never thought that these small demons could defeat the scripture seeker.

As long as these small demons could hold the scripture seeker for some time, their human race would be finished.

"They are here!" On the hillside, Xuanzang and the others were resting when the Black Bear Spirit suddenly said.

Hearing the Black Bear Spirit's words, the crowd showed no reaction.

With their strength, even if the enemy's attack was right in front of them, they had enough time to counterattack.

Just as the Black Bear Spirit's voice fell, countless small demons emerged from the surrounding bushes and woods. At a rough glance, there must have been seven or eight hundred.

"So many?" The Black Bear Spirit said in surprise.

On their journey, the small demons of White Tiger Ridge were the most they had ever seen.

The Black Bear Spirit's Black Wind Mountain only had one or two hundred small demons back then, and he felt that his power was already very strong at that time.

"Kill!" Suddenly, these small demons roared in unison, and then swarmed up.

"This formation, even in the previous life, wouldn't be enough for Sun Wukong to kill alone, let alone now!" Panhuang, who was observing in the dark, said with a smile.

"Leave it to me!" The Black Bear Spirit said.

Ever since he switched to practicing the Fire Bear inheritance, he had never made a move, so he was a bit eager to try.

"Good!" The crowd nodded.

The next second, little sparks appeared on the Black Bear Spirit's body.

After these sparks drifted out, they drifted with the wind into the small demons. When those small demons saw these sparks, they didn't dodge at all, because they didn't feel any danger from these sparks, and they didn't think these small sparks would have any danger.

But just as these small demons rushed in front of them, those sparks landed on the small demons' bodies.

In an instant, the small demons who were touched by the sparks ignited with golden-red flames. Before those small demons could scream, they turned into fly ash and disappeared from this world.

"Retreat quickly!" The leading small demons shouted loudly, but the small demons further behind couldn't hear them at all.

As more and more firelight appeared, the number of small demons was rapidly decreasing. By the time all the small demons reacted, there were only a few dozen left around Xuanzang and the others.

These small demons all turned into their original forms, lying on the ground trembling.

The White Bone Spirit in the dark saw this scene, and her face was a bit ugly. She never expected that these small demons would be wiped out by the Black Bear Spirit in just one encounter.

She instinctively wanted to escape, but when she saw Xuanzang in the crowd, she gritted her teeth and rushed out.

"Taiyi Profound Immortal? This should be the master of those small demons." Ao Mo'ang said when he saw the White Bone Spirit rushing out.

After the White Bone Spirit rushed out, she went straight to Xuanzang. Dapeng shook his head and waved his hand, and the White Bone Spirit flew back the way she came.

After landing, the White Bone Spirit spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the aura on her body withered instantly.

"I am very curious!" Xuanzang came to her side after seeing the White Bone Spirit fall to the ground.

The White Bone Spirit didn't speak, but her eyes were full of despair and dead silence. The scripture seeker's team was really too strong; there should be no chance to eat Xuanzang's flesh and blood.

Xuanzang pondered for a few breaths after seeing the despair and dead silence in the White Bone Spirit's eyes.

"You have no demonic Qi on your body, nor Buddha power, but immortal Qi instead. But your current state is very strange. You shouldn't be from the Heavenly Court either, right? I am very curious about the reason why you did this." Xuanzang asked.

"To eat your flesh and blood!" The White Bone Spirit knew that she probably wouldn't survive today, so she simply stated her purpose.

After Xuanzang heard the White Bone Spirit's words, a thick murderous intent flashed across his body, but this murderous intent was fleeting. However, this fleeting murderous intent made the White Bone Spirit spit out another mouthful of blood.

The murderous intent on Xuanzang's body was really too powerful and had already materialized. With the White Bone Spirit's severely injured body, she couldn't block the impact of this murderous intent at all.

"Why do you want to eat my flesh and blood?" Xuanzang took a deep breath and asked coldly.

"Because I heard a rumor that eating a piece of the scripture seeker's meat can lead to immortality, and the scripture seeker's meat can also bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on white bones." The White Bone Spirit answered honestly.

"It really is the means of the West!" Xuanzang muttered to himself.

"Tell me about your background; I am very curious about your identity!" Taking a few deep breaths, Xuanzang looked at the White Bone Spirit and said.

"I was originally Long Ji Gongzhu of the Heavenly Court." The White Bone Spirit said honestly after seeing Xuanzang say this.

"Long Ji Gongzhu? The daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother?" Yang Jian was a bit surprised when he heard Long Ji Gongzhu's words.

If Long Ji Gongzhu was the Jade Emperor's daughter, then she and Yang Jian were siblings; after all, the Jade Emperor was Yang Jian's uncle in name.

After the White Bone Spirit finished speaking, the crowd looked at Yang Jian. During this period of getting along, they already knew Yang Jian's past, so after hearing that the White Bone Spirit was Long Ji Gongzhu, they looked at him, and even Xuanzang looked at Yang Jian.

"Do you know who I am?" Yang Jian asked, looking at the White Bone Spirit.

"Yang Jian, the child of Aunt Yaoji, I have seen you in the Haotian Mirror before." The White Bone Spirit said, looking at Yang Jian.

"What should we do?" Sun Wukong asked, looking at Xuanzang.

In the end, Yang Jian and Long Ji Gongzhu were siblings. If they killed her just like that, it felt a bit bad.

"Why do you want to eat Master Xuanzang's flesh and blood?" Yang Jian knew that the crowd was waiting for him to speak, so he asked again.

After hearing Yang Jian's words, Long Ji Gongzhu told the reason why she went down to the mortal world and why she became the White Bone Spirit.

"Now I am just a demon. To resurrect, there is no other way except to eat the flesh and blood of the scripture seeker. I want to resurrect, I still have to find Hong Jin for revenge, and I still have to save Father and Mother." Long Ji Gongzhu said, looking at Yang Jian.

"I will help you!" Before Yang Jian could speak, Xuanzang took the initiative to speak.

"Ah?" The crowd was surprised after hearing Xuanzang's words.

Before the crowd could react, Xuanzang directly tore off his own arm and threw it in front of the White Bone Spirit.

The White Bone Spirit looked at the arm in front of her and then at the calm Xuanzang. For a moment, she was a bit confused. What kind of operation was this?

Just when the White Bone Spirit was puzzled, Xuanzang had already mobilized his magic power, and the missing arm had grown out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The White Bone Spirit looked at Xuanzang's arm that had already grown out and then at the arm in front of her. She didn't hesitate anymore and directly grabbed Xuanzang's arm.

The next second, Xuanzang's arm withered at a speed visible to the naked eye and finally turned into fly ash.

The White Bone Spirit, who had absorbed Xuanzang's flesh and blood, was immediately wrapped in a golden light, and then a life aura came out from the golden light.

"Hmm? This Xuanzang actually has this operation? I didn't expect that someone would actually eat Tang Monk meat!" Panhuang never expected that things would have such a reversal.

"Interesting, truly interesting. When Xuanzang walks to Mount Ling, he might really be able to pull up a huge team; after all, no one can refuse immortality." Panhuang clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Master Xuanzang, what are you doing?" Yang Jian looked at the White Bone Spirit who was undergoing transformation and looked at Xuanzang with some confusion.

"You are all under the tutelage of Saints, or disciples of the Dragon Clan. I only have one bear by my side now. You also know my thoughts. Now, for me to want to contend with Tathagata is simply a pipe dream. But just now, I suddenly discovered that I actually have my own advantages." A smile appeared on the corner of Xuanzang's mouth.

"Master Xuanzang, you wouldn't be wanting to..." Dapeng understood Xuanzang's intention instantly.

"That's right. This White Bone Spirit knows that my meat can lead to immortality. I believe the demons on our journey might already know. Since that's the case, then I will fulfill them. But my meat is not so easy to eat." A meaningful smile appeared on Xuanzang's face.

"High, truly high!" Ao Mo'ang didn't know what to say at this time.

I didn't expect the West to be counterproductive, letting Xuanzang discover a way to strengthen himself. I don't know what expression Tathagata will have when he finds out.
