West Wilderness, Elysium.
After the Rakshasa Lord returned from the Lingxiao Palace, he showed his God Golden Body on Mount Meru. It was ten thousand feet tall, shining and holy. He sat on a white lotus platform, looking fresh and holy.
His face was solemn and solemn, and he said in a loud voice, "The Land of Middle Earth is a world of depravity, filth, and filth. Living beings suffer and cannot be freed. Among all of you, who is willing to go to Middle Earth to preach and guide living beings to the Elysium?"
A cultivator who was not strong-willed and had surrendered to the Rakshasa Lord when the Elysium was expanding, heard this and quickly got up from under the tree. He bowed to the God Golden Body and said, "I, Yao Yuanzai, am willing to go to Middle Earth in the name of the Lord, to go through all the suffering and to guide living beings."
The Rakshasa Lord nodded slightly, "You have a merciful heart. One day, you will definitely achieve Bodhi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Yuanzai, who was only a Qi Gatherer cultivator, shone with a bright golden light. A white lotus bloomed under his feet, and the light spots of the Power of Will formed a colorful canopy above his head. His aura increased rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he became a god whose strength was equivalent to a Daoist Primordial Spirit Venerable.
"Thank you, Lord, for the title," Yao Yuanzai bowed and said. Then, he brought many heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals and left for Middle Earth.
The Rakshasa Lord watched Yao Yuanzai leave and smiled, "If it was somewhere else, I believe you, Shi Xuan, could bear it. But in Yu Yutian, there are so many traces of your past, Shi Xuan. If you could really bear it, you wouldn't be the mighty swordsman of your generation with a resolute mind."
…
Middle Earth, Luojing City.
With the departure of the Shenxiao Palace, the barrier between the Middle Land and the outside world had completely disappeared. The Reiki came in from the outside world, making it suitable for cultivation again. With many cultivators coming and going, the cultivation level of the entire Middle Land had been greatly improved. The Guizhen Sect even had a Jindan Grandmaster of Upper Grade.
But that was all in the past. Today, the Guizhen Sect was only the weakest among the dozens of small sects in the Central Region. If it hadn't been for its relationship with Immortal Shi of the Penglai Sect, no one knew where it would have gone. How could it still be the leader of the cultivation world in the Central Region?
Similarly, the Xu Dynasty was still the ruler of the world. However, they were quite lenient towards the various clans that had the support of schools. Ancestor Shi was a Sky Immortal. He was high up above, so how could they pay respects to him for some trivial matters?
On this day, a ring of golden light suddenly appeared in the sky above Luojing. It was like the sun, and it caused everyone to raise their heads in shock.
The golden light sprinkled down majestically, bringing with it a beautiful celestial sound that came from the soul. All the mortals and cultivators in the entire Luojing City were intoxicated by this vast and sacred scene.
A golden-armored deity, with a white lotus under his feet and a canopy over his head, leisurely flew toward Luojing, surrounded by many divine soldiers and generals. Many mortals were frightened and involuntarily knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces. They only felt that their hearts were empty and quiet, and they felt a sense of bliss. Only the cultivators and the believers of the deities like Pudu Bodhisattva could barely control themselves.
The god in golden armor landed in front of the Pudu Temple. The white lotus under his feet became bigger and bigger, turning into a lotus seat. Then, he sat on it with his legs crossed and said in a solemn voice, "I am Yao Yuanzai, a god under the Rakshasa Lord. Today, I have come to the Middle Earth to preach and save all living beings from their suffering."
The abbot of the Pudu Temple suppressed his fear and walked out of the temple, "I also have to inform you that the Middle Earth does not prohibit preaching. Please go somewhere else and don't block the door of our temple."
Yao Yuanzai carried the will of the Rakshasa Lord and slowly said, "The place I am at is not within your temple. Those who do not belong to your temple, do not speak too much."
Countless lotus flowers bloomed around him, blocking the abbot of the Pudu Temple outside. After the door of the temple was completely covered by the sea of flowers, he began to recite the "Shenhuang Sutra", attracting countless mortals and cultivators in the entire Luojing City to either stop and listen to him or rush to his seat.
Seeing that it was difficult for him to pass through the golden, green, and white lotus flowers, the abbot of the Pudu Temple could only suppress his anger and return to the temple.
"Abbot, is that god not willing to leave?" Many nuns, martial monks, and believers in the temple surrounded him.
The abbot sighed, "He is relying on his strength to twist words and force logic. He is obviously here for our temple. This is not something we can decide. It is better to burn incense and ask Bodhisattva to make the decision."
Thinking that the Pudu Bodhisattva they believed in was also omnipotent, the crowd calmed down and knelt in front of the statue of the Pudu Bodhisattva in the main hall and prayed.
"… What should we do, Bodhisattva, please tell us." Many voices gathered, neat and grand.
…
In the illusory kingdom of the Pudu Temple at the back hall of Yangzhou, Madam Fang was lost in thought for a moment. There was a trace of sorrow on her face, but in the end, she still sighed and issued a decree through the statue, "Endure for now."
"Bodhisattva …" Many believers were in disbelief. Through the statue and the connection of the Power of Vow, they were all reflected in Madam Fang's mind, making her look even worse.
Madam Fang smiled bitterly, then took a deep breath and stood up. She kept the illusory kingdom of god into the precious light imbued with the Power of Vow and said to Fang Delin and Fang Hanling, "Let's go."
"Mother …" The two siblings sensed the prayers, worship, and chanting of the believers and were a little hesitant for a moment.
Madam Fang's expression gradually became determined, "Since the benefactor has passed the message, then we will go to the Shang Qing Shenxiao boundary to temporarily hide. Don't mess up the benefactor's arrangements because of us."
After she finished speaking, she kept the two siblings into the illusory kingdom of god in the precious light imbued with the Power of Vow. Then, she looked at the Pudu Temple with nostalgia, and looked at the pious believers and disciples all over the Central Plains who were chanting sutras and worshipping.
"The Merciful Pudu Bodhisattva …"
Then, Madam Fang activated the transportation formation in the temple without hesitation.
A White Light flashed, and she disappeared on the spot. She appeared in the waters of the Three Islands, then headed towards the Shang Qing Shenxiao boundary in Penglai.
…
"She actually left the Central Plains directly …" Yao Yuanzai received the message from the Rakshasa Deity. He was quite surprised that Madam Fang could decisively abandon her foundation and leave. Unlike Deities like him who were conferred by the Deity Lord, the source of incense was the foundation of a true Deity. If the Power of Vow was insufficient, and a Deity who had not touched the Great Way and become a Deity Lord, then his level would really drop. If he wanted to cultivate again in the future, he would have to break through again, which was extraordinarily difficult.
Yao Yuanzai pondered for a moment, "Rumor has it that she and Shi Xuan are old friends. It seems that she left under her request or coercion, but Shi Xuan can still bear it. Hmph, then let's continue to provoke him!"
With a backer behind him, and the Great Divine Light of Salvation, Yao Yuanzai did not care and was fearless.
After receiving his message, a believer who had just converted suddenly said, "The Guizhen Sect believes in the Extraterrestrial Demons. Their three grandmasters are all incarnations of the Extraterrestrial Demons. They confuse people's hearts and disturb the world. Deities, please eliminate the evils for all living beings and purify these evil demons."
"Among the three Extraterrestrial Demons, two of their true bodies are hidden in the Xu Clan Tomb in Yangzhou. Deities, please destroy the Extraterrestrial Demon Tomb, eliminate the evils for all living beings and purify the evil demons." Another believer stood up.
"Deities, please eliminate the evils for all living beings and purify the evil demons." All the believers were influenced and begged in unison. For a moment, this voice echoed throughout Luojing City.
In the Temple of Returning Truth, in the palace, many cultivators and mortals heard this voice and did not know what was going on. However, they felt a sense of danger, as if a disaster was about to befall them.
Yao Yuanzai said pretentiously, "How can we believe all the rumors in the world? Don't talk nonsense. However, this is related to the Extraterrestrial Demons confusing people's hearts, so we can't ignore it. Why don't we invite the statues of the three grandmasters of the Guizhen Sect and the two skeletons from the Xu Clan Tomb? With my eyes, I can see clearly if they are incarnations of the Extraterrestrial Demons. If they are, then purify them on the spot. If they are not, then I will personally apologize to the Guizhen Sect and the Xu Clan. "
"Deities don't believe in rumors. They are fair and impartial …" All of a sudden, a series of praises came from the believers.
Yao Yuanzai's voice was so loud that the entire Luojing City heard it clearly.
The headmaster of the Temple of Returning Nature, the disciples, the emperor of the Xu Clan, and the clansmen were all dumbfounded. They couldn't suppress their anger and grievances. "How dare you! How dare you! You've gone too far! You've destroyed someone else's ancestral tomb and ancestor's statue, and you've only said a simple apology. Should I chop you into pieces and then apologize to you?!"
When the praises stopped, the Divine Soldiers and Divine Generals that Yao Yuanzai brought with him divided into two groups and flew toward the Temple of Returning Truth and Yangzhou. The strongest of them was the same as the abbey dean of the Temple of Returning Truth, but the difference in their numbers was huge.
As soon as these Divine Soldiers and Divine Generals flew up, a cold snort suddenly sounded in their ears.
Yao Yuanzai felt a sense of danger, but before he could do anything, he saw a white flying sword coming from the sky. It was mottled and dim, but it was extremely terrifying.
Wherever the sword light passed, all the Divine Soldiers and Divine Generals seemed to be unable to fly. They fell from the sky like stones and fell to the ground. Their bodies, which were as hard as metal and stone, were smashed into pieces after falling only a few feet from the ground. They were no different from ordinary people.
"Divine Lord, save me!" Under the influence of the aura, Yao Yuanzai could not use any of his mana. He could only ask for help from the Rakshasa Lord.
The Rakshasa Lord in the Elysium Pure Land turned a deaf ear to him. He felt relaxed and happy that he got what he wanted. "You finally couldn't stand it anymore."
Under the situation where the space around Yao Yuanzai was locked, Shi Xuan must have come with his real body. Otherwise, if it was just an incarnation, he was confident that he could catch it before it self-destructed. Then, he would know all of Shi Xuan's secrets through the incarnation. He knew this very well, and so did Shi Xuan!
Behind the Rakshasa Lord's head, there was a flash of yellow light imbued with the Power of Vow. It turned into a petite and beautiful goddess. She wore a yellow heavenly robe and a crown. She was the Great Merit Heaven, one of the incarnations of the 24 Heavens. She was also called the Auspicious Goddess.
Behind her was the Seven Treasures Sacred Mountain, which shone brightly. On top of it was a five-colored auspicious cloud. A seven-colored vase rested on it. Many yellow light spots poured out from the vase and poured into the Great Merit Heaven.
The Great Merit Heaven Body had four hands. One of them performed the Fearless Seal, the other formed the Earth Overturning Seal, the other held the Merit Ruyi Seal, and the other held the Merit Golden Lotus. As soon as it appeared, there was a ripple of time. It disappeared from the Elysium Pure Land and reappeared behind Shi Xuan.
The Rakshasa Lord did not spare any attention to save Yao Yuanzai, lest Shi Xuan took the chance to escape.
Yao Yuanzai felt a chill in his heart. Just as despair rose, it was cut into nothingness by the dim white sword light.
