The room was dark, and only the moonlight shone in through the window. The old man with the bamboo hat sitting on the bed was Middle Emperor Cao Xiaotian.
Middle Emperor's face was expressionless, as though he was an enlightened monk. Even though he had not figured out what Buddhism was all these years, he had learned most of the expressions of an enlightened monk.
Ye Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm actually the same as you. I'm also a layman. I like women, I like wealth, I like power … No, I'm even more layman than you. You want me to be your master? That's a huge joke. It's more like I want you to be my master. "
Middle Emperor seemed to recognize him and said, "No, even though you say you're a layman, I feel that you have a Buddha-nature. I haven't been with you for long, but I've learned a lot. If I can cultivate under you for thirty to fifty thousand years, I think I can really become a Buddha."
"Thirty to fifty thousand years!" Ye Kong felt like vomiting blood. He shook his head and said, "Lord Middle Emperor …"
"Call me Venerable Xiaotian."
"Alright, Venerable Xiaotian, I think you've cultivated Buddhism to the point of being crazy … Actually, isn't the purpose of cultivating Buddhism and immortality to ascend to the Divine Realm? Don't you want to obtain the godhead and ascend to the Divine Realm? "Ye Kong asked tentatively.
Cao Xiaotian shook his head indifferently. "I don't want to. Back then, I killed too many people and didn't repent. I only wanted to ascend to the Divine Realm. It was like I was possessed. Even Master Yimu couldn't enlighten me … But a few thousand years ago, I accidentally went to the Buddha Realm and suddenly realized that what I was pursuing was empty. Thus, I came back and let go of everything to pursue Buddhism. "
Ye Kong thought to himself, "Fortunately, there's one among the five great Immortal Emperors who doesn't have any designs on my godhead."
However, this one who didn't have designs on his godhead was obviously more difficult to deal with.
Cao Xiaotian said, "Since you have a Buddha-nature but no affinity with Buddhism, why don't I lead you on the path of cultivating Buddhism? This is also a great merit for me. This way, my path of cultivating Buddhism will take another step forward."
Ye Kong thought to himself, "Your mentality is not correct. You insist on the results of everything and want to get something in return. How is this the way of Buddhism?"
However, Ye Kong couldn't say these words. Otherwise, Cao Xiaotian would say that he had a Buddhist nature again.
Ye Kong shook his head. "Venerable One, our paths are different. Ye Kong has never wanted to be a monk. I don't want to be one now, and I won't want to be one in the future. You should find someone else."
Cao Xiaotian saw how determined he was and did not force him. He said, "You've offended the Mani Sect today. Based on my understanding of them, they will definitely do something bad to you. Moreover, you've offended West Deity, and the other deities are also eyeing you covetously. I think Li Clan is also plotting against you … I'll leave you a wooden fish. Once you've thought it through, you just have to knock on the wooden fish, and I'll appear. "
"Remember, only I can protect you in the Intermediate Emperor Realm. Let's go. " Cao Xiaotian left just like that. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. Where he was originally sitting, there was an exquisite small wooden fish lying there quietly …
Ye Kong walked over and picked up the wooden fish. He didn't know what it was made of, but it was very heavy.
"An Immortal Emperor's abilities are indeed extraordinary. Li Clan is in a state of war, but he can still come and go as he pleases without anyone noticing. If other Immortal Emperors were to make a move …" Ye Kong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He felt that the confident Immortal Monarch Li Yao wasn't that safe.
Only after Cao Xiaotian had left for a while did Ye Kong realize that he had forgotten to mention Fairy Yuan Fen's plea for leniency. Sigh, it's all because of the monk.
The next day was Immortal Monarch Li Yao's 100,000th birthday. The Emperor wanted people to shout 'Long live him' every day, but it was only 'Long live him'. Immortal Monarch Li Yao, who was ten times more than the Emperor, was not very happy.
However, from Ye Kong's point of view, there was something wrong with Immortal Monarch Li Yao's birthday. She and Five Elemental Cultivator were from the same generation, and she was at least 200,000 years old. However, Li Yao had changed her name and name back then, so she might have even changed her birthday.
No matter how old Immortal Monarch Li Yao was, she might have already become muddle-headed.
Early in the morning, the entire Li Clan was filled with firecrackers and silk banners. Everyone was in high spirits, hanging lanterns, preparing meals, and getting busy for the birthday banquet.
Big Boss Li's birthday banquet was amazing, and the dishes were not ordinary. Planet East Edge's most tender immortal bamboo shoots; Planet South Flower's immortal sea shark fins; Planet West Tomb's special immortal wine; Planet Snow Success's famous immortal peaches … Not to mention these mystical things, even the immortal valley immortal dishes were specially cultivated, and could be said to be completely natural, green, and pollution-free.
Big Boss Li was not too reserved with Ye Kong, and directly used him as one of his own. He said, "Little Ye, I called you here because we are short on immortal tea. There are still many guests coming in the afternoon, so we need to prepare more. "
Ye Kong hurriedly said, "Ancestral Master, then where should I buy it from? Is there a fixed supplier? Or should I just go out and buy some? "
Immortal Monarch Li Yao smiled, "Our Li Clan naturally has a fixed supplier. Five hundred li south of the main city, there is a mountain called Immortal Tea Mountain. That is where our Li Clan supplies immortal tea."
Ye Kong nodded, "Alright, I'll go now."
Immortal Monarch Li Yao pulled him back with a smile, "Wait, Yuan Fen is familiar with that place. Let her go with you."
Fairy Yuan Fen was naturally unwilling. She did not even want to see Ye Kong now, she hated him just by looking at him. Li Yuanfen was a hundred times unwilling to go with him.
But her mother had instructed her not to go, so she had no choice. Fine, then let's go, I'll just treat him as air.
"You are also a Golden Immortal, so you can ride on an immortal sword or ride on a cloud. Just follow behind me." Fairy Yuan Fen arranged, then went to call her little deer.
But when she asked, she found out that Li Wenjin had already left on her nine-colored deer early in the morning.
This time, Fairy Yuan Fen was dumbfounded. She currently did not have any immortal essence, so she could not control her immortal sword, nor could she ride on a cloud. Now that her little deer had been ridden away, how was she supposed to go?
"That … Fairy Yuan Fen, I'll ride on a cloud to bring you there." Ye Kong faintly felt that this matter smelled like a conspiracy.
Fairy Yuan Fen had no choice but to do so. The cloud she rode on was only one square meter in size. It was not crowded for two people, but it was not spacious either.
The two of them stood on the cloud. A white cloud slowly rose and flew towards the south.
Standing on the cloud, a gentle breeze caressed her. Fairy Yuan Fen's loose floral dress was very unique. Her dress was made of countless square and rhombus-shaped fabric. When the wind blew, it swayed back and forth, giving off the feeling of Earth's fashion.
Ye Kong only felt that this dress was a little novel, so he took a few more glances. Fairy Yuan Fen, on the other hand, felt that this lecher was up to no good. Hmph, since I'm alone with you, I'll definitely think of a way to mess with you!
The two each had their own thoughts. Neither spoke as they rode on the cloud and flew towards the south. Fairy Yuan Fen did not point out the direction, so Ye Kong was too lazy to ask her. In any case, Immortal Monarch Li Yao said that it was the south, so they just had to fly towards the south.
It was not that Fairy Yuan Fen did not point out the direction because Ye Kong was flying in the right direction, so there was no need for her to point it out.
An hour later, a lush green mountain peak appeared in the distance. The mountain was filled with tea plantations and tea trees.
The buds of the tea trees were green with a hint of yellow. They were glossy and crystal clear. When the sun shone on them, they sparkled as if they were fake.
In a corner of the immortal tea mountain, there were a few houses in a row. As they flew closer, they could smell the fragrance of tea. Fairy Yuan Fen finally spoke, "Let's go down, this is the place."
Ye Kong knew that this was the place where tea was made and roasted. He landed on the cloud and the two descended. Ye Kong put away the cloud and followed Fairy Yuan Fen to a large house in the middle.
This was not Fairy Yuan Fen's first time here. She walked to the door and shouted, "Uncle Cha, Steward Li, are you all here?"
Ye Kong felt a little strange. Today was Immortal Monarch Li Yao's birthday, so this place should be bustling with activity. Why was there not a single person here? Could it be that they had all gone to help the Li Clan?
Fairy Yuan Fen was also very puzzled. In the past, there were many people here. Some were picking tea leaves, some were roasting tea leaves, and everyone was busy. Why was there not even a shadow of a person today?
Fairy Yuan Fen suddenly had an ominous premonition. She lifted her foot and was about to enter the house.
However, Ye Kong's voice came from behind, "Wait! Wait! "
Fairy Yuan Fen hurriedly turned around and saw many evil monks wearing monk robes and black veils walking out of the tea house. Each of them was holding various immortal swords and immortal weapons. They were shouting and shouting as they surrounded them from all directions.
The one leading them was actually a mid-level Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
Fairy Yuan Fen was currently a mortal, and Ye Kong was only a mid-level Golden Immortal. Fairy Yuan Fen thought to herself, 'This is bad. How can the two of us be a match for these guys?' She hated this Ye Kong. If not for him, with her immortal essence, why would she be afraid of them?
Those evil monks laughed loudly. The one leading them was even shouting, "Attack them, attack them quickly!"
The evil monks behind him also shouted, "Surround them, surround them! We are Mani Sect monks. Everyone, do not let them enter the house! Do not let them enter the house! "
When these people suddenly appeared, Ye Kong was really shocked. He did not expect Mani Sect to be so crazy. They actually dared to attack on Big Boss Li's birthday. However, when he heard their words, Ye Kong only felt that it was funny. This show was too fake.
Although the evil monks were shouting to attack, no one made a move. If they were really Mani Sect disciples, they would have attacked mercilessly in the dark. Why would they be shouting? Weren't they reminding him? Also, they kept shouting, "do not let them enter the house". Wasn't it clear that they wanted him and Fairy Yuan Fen to enter the house?
Moreover, Immortal Lord Li Yao asked him to buy tea. It happened so suddenly, how would the Mani Sect people know?
From Ye Kong's point of view, this was all arranged by the Li family! After thinking through all this, Ye Kong of course would not take out the ninth-grade immortal bow and kill everyone in front of him. Nor would he use the wooden fish to call for Cao Xiaotian to save him!
Ye Kong was bold because of his skill. He thought to himself, 'Since you have arranged this, I will go in and see what you are planning!'
So he pulled Fairy Yuan Fen and said, "Come, we will hide inside and wait for help!"
