60: Chapter 6: Zixiao Opens Again, Pressuring Zhunti Again
60 -6: Zixiao Opens Again, Pressuring Zhunti Again
“A thousand years have passed, and Zixiao Palace reopens!
Those who are destined may come to heed the Dao.”
A terrifying pressure came from beyond the heavens, crushing down upon the Primordial Land.
Li Qingming sat cross-legged upon a meditation cushion, his heart filled with myriad emotions: “These thousand years have truly passed in the blink of an eye!”
He turned his head to look at the Six-Eared Macaque sitting behind him, noting its serene expression and the fur on its face slowly falling off to reveal the ancient bronze-colored skin beneath.
His Primordial Spirit swept over its body, and found its cultivation astonishingly risen to the level of a Taiyi Xuanxian, just one step away from the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
This shocked Li Qingming to the point of staring agape, thinking to himself: “Indeed, the Four Monkeys of Chaos are all born as extraordinary creatures with heaven-defying talents!”
“Hao Tian, go and open the palace gate, and welcome all the Fellow Daoists into the palace!” Hong Jun slightly lifted his eyelids and glanced at Hao Tian as he spoke.
“Yes, Master!” Hao Tian bowed deeply, then briskly walked toward the palace gate.
“Squeak!”
“By Master’s command, I invite all Fellow Daoists to enter the palace!” At this moment, Hao Tian inherited Hong Jun’s indifferent nature.
“How merciful of the Master!” The crowd bowed in reverence.
Li Qingming turned to look at the guests in Zixiao Palace and noticed that this time, there were many new faces.
And some familiar guests, like Zhunti, Red Cloud, Kunpeng, Taiyi, Zhen Yuanzi, and other such individuals with great Qi Fortune, were all at the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak.
The rest were newcomers to Daluo, indicating that the Primordial Land, since the Dragon Han Calamity, had indeed declined somewhat.
Once all the guests had entered the palace and greeted the four figures seated on the meditation cushions, they found their respective seats. novelbuddy.cσ๓
It was Zhunti, however, who, upon observing the Six-Eared Macaque behind Li Qingming, shined with a brilliant light in his eyes, even drooling a little.
Since Zhunti’s seat was adjacent to Li Qingming’s, he even took the initiative to lean in and whisper to Sun Ling: “Young friend, I have numerous Great Dao teachings and three thousand Left Dao secrets!
Would you be interested in joining me to comprehend them together?” While speaking, his eyes glowed with golden light, evidently employing his Divine Skills.
Though Zhunti spoke softly, everyone present was a cultivator of high prowess, so how could they not overhear such an unintended remark?
The Three Pure Ones immediately turned pale with anger; for Zhunti to openly poach in front of them showed quite the audacity.
The expressions of those present varied from confusion to scorn, to admiration, to curiosity…
Truly displaying the full spectrum of worldly emotions.
Li Qingming internally seethed with anger, “That Zhunti is utterly shameless to stoop to such levels!”
As for the one involved, Sun Ling, after giving Zhunti a glance, first expressed a look of confusion and said, “Great Dao?
Do you have as many Great Dao teachings as Hong Jun, our Ancestor?
Left Dao?
What on earth is that?”
Seeing this approach as effective, Zhunti’s eyes shone even brighter as he said, “Come with me to the Western region, young friend, and all will be revealed!”
Sun Ling’s eyes flashed with conflict but soon regained clarity: “I’ll go to Lord Ni’s…!
You devious Daoist, I won’t be the one to betray and deceive my Master!”
His voice, loud enough to pierce through the Nine Heavens.
Those in Zixiao Palace were momentarily stunned, and then burst into uproarious laughter.
The sound of three thousand people laughing was indeed a mighty chorus.
The Three Pure Ones, hearing Sun Ling’s words, showed a glimmer of relief in their eyes before they turned a wrathful gaze upon Zhunti.
Zhunti’s face turned crimson as he retorted, “Impudent junior, don’t refuse the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!”
What Zhunti failed to notice was that a ruler glowing with pearly white light had appeared above his head, slowly morphing in mid-air, and eventually turning into a brick about a zhang in size, covering the area including where Zhunti was.
Li Qingming, who had been silent for a long while, finally erupted in anger.
He didn’t care if this was Zixiao Palace or the Saint’s Arena; anyone daring enough to poach from his wall should be prepared to face his wrath.
“Zhunti, damn your ancestor Lord Ni!
If the tiger does not show his might, do you take me for a sick cat?
Qiankun Ruler, strike down!”
Following Li Qingming’s words, the Qiankun Ruler in mid-air slammed down forcefully, crushing Zhunti mercilessly onto the cushion below.
Jieyin, too, was caught in the unfounded disaster, for the Qiankun Ruler is no ordinary item!
Let alone a Daluo Golden Immortal, with Li Qingming’s current strength, wielding the Qiankun Ruler, even a novice Quasi-Saint would have to shed a layer of skin!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
…
The radiant white Qiankun Ruler kept plummeting at an imperceptible frequency.
Even The Three Pure Ones felt a chill watching its relentless force that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
The Ancestor Witches, who were dragged here by Houtu, cheered wildly, wishing they could rush forward and stomp on the fallen fiercely themselves.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
…
After countless vicious strikes, Li Qingming glanced at Hong Jun, who sat high on the Cloud Platform, a flicker of unusual light crossing his face.
Only then did he exhale softly and called back the Qiankun Ruler hanging in mid-air.
Every guest in Zixiao Palace thought the same thing at that moment: “We must not make an enemy of this man!
He is too terrifying!”
Di Jun’s eyes, however, sparkled with uncertainty, his thoughts unknown.
With his face swollen and bruised, Jieyin and Zhunti finally came to, lifting their heads.
Their features were so distorted they looked comically ludicrous!
“Master, this Qingmingzi truly acts not like a human!
He attacked us openly in the Saint’s Arena, and we implore Master to severely punish Qingmingzi!” Zhunti was quick to play the victim.
Li Qingming simply looked at Zhunti indifferently, without a word.
“The rights and wrongs of this matter, I have seen it all!
Resolve it amongst yourselves!” Hong Jun’s bias towards Qingmingzi was evident, even an idiot could see it.
Had it been anyone else, they would likely have been cast into Chaos by Hong Jun with the excuse of “Disrespecting a Saint, undermining the Saint’s majesty!” turned to dust.
Zhunti’s face grew extremely unsightly, while Jieyin, with a bitter expression, glanced at his junior brother and stood up, bowing deeply to Li Qingming, saying, “Fellow Daoist, my junior brothers’ words have offended you, we beg your forgiveness!”
Sun Ling looked up to Li Qingming admiringly, thinking inwardly: “My Master is truly divine; he does as he pleases even in the Saint’s Arena!”
Li Qingming, with a cold expression and eyes brimming with murderous intent, said, “Zhunti, the cause of this affair lies with you!
I will not demand anything else, only three Bodhi Seeds.
If you do, you and I will end this karma here and now!
Otherwise, you shall fall here today!”
After speaking, his True Yuan surged powerfully.
The killing aura accumulated from slaughtering the Three Clans during the Dragon Han Calamity rose to the skies.
His icy cold gaze fixed on Zhunti and the other, and behind him the Blood Sea churned, with a corpse-like figure disappearing and reappearing in the sea, its eyes chilling to the bone.
“Hiss!”
Seeing this scene, the guests in Zixiao Palace shuddered deeply within, further cementing their resolve never to provoke Li Qingming in the future.
Zhunti’s face turned deathly pale, sweat pouring down as he clenched his teeth and shakily produced three Bodhi Seeds, saying, “Let it be as Fellow Daoist says!”
Taking the Bodhi Seeds, Li Qingming sneered twice, saying, “Fellow Daoist, watch your remaining Bodhi Seeds carefully!”
The face of Jieyin Taoist showed even greater sorrow!
