Chapter 43

  Bo Fu heard the sound outside the cave, let out a light sigh and came out of his temporary hiding place. As he emerged from the door, he saw a man with two buns on his head, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a branch with flowers, pearls and other things hanging from it, with a smile that made Bo Fu feel annoyed, indeed the demeanor of a saint, a high-ranking scholar from the Western world.

  "Zhunti, Zhunti, what are you up to again? Although it's been many years since we last met, your face looks even more spirited than before..."

  "Brother Bodhisattva, you are mistaken. This is the western border of my territory. What brings you here? It seems that Brother Bodhisattva has a connection with our Western Pure Land. Why don't you follow me to take a stroll in the extremely joyful and pure land of the West, and join the Guiding Teacher Brothers and our fellow Western Buddhist friends to enjoy the boundless purity?"

  "Huh? I didn't expect that after all these years, you're still talking like this. I don't have any connection with the Western faction, and that old man isn't interested in enjoying it either. We haven't seen each other for many years, so let's just sit down, have a cup of tea, and eat some buns. Anyway, I'll be leaving soon." Bo Fu didn't think to directly confront Zhu Ti, so he used this as an excuse.

  "Daoist friend, why must you rush so? You and I have not seen each other for many years, of course we should catch up properly." Zhun Ti said as he lightly waved the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree in his hand towards Bo Fu, his movements relaxed and leisurely, without a hint of urgency.

  Bo Fu sneered and also bent his index finger, casually pointing it forward. There was no noticeable change, but the seven-treasured wondrous tree suddenly appeared out of thin air and was lightly touched by that one finger. Both sides withdrew immediately, with no unusual signs around them.

  Zhunti smiled without smiling, opened his mouth and said: "Indeed, a famous name is not an empty reputation, it's good to have obtained it."

  Bo Fu also waved his hand: "Where, where, excessive praise. Indeed a sage, good means."

  Zhun Ti refused to give up: "Bo Fu Dao You, don't you really want to go with me to the Western Paradise?"

  Ba Fu directly then turned to Zhu Ti and bid farewell: "In recent years, I have often disturbed you in the Western Regions, thank you. Now I should return to my cave mansion. Farewell."

  Bo Yu himself had a plan in mind, and with that one move, he didn't suffer any losses, which made it impossible for Zhuanti to grasp the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack. If Bo Yu hadn't managed to hold on just now under the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree, Zhuanti would have probably forced him to go to the Western Sect of the Devil's Gate today. Without lingering, Bo Yu transformed into a stream of light and headed east.

  Upon arriving at the entrance of the cave, Bo Fu hesitated for a long time before entering. As expected, as soon as he entered, he was intercepted by Bi Xiao Niang Niang. Despite thousands of years passing, she still looked like a 15 or 16-year-old girl. The moment she opened her mouth, she said: "Bo Fu! How do you plan to treat my elder sister?!"

  Bo Yu's head suddenly swelled like a bucket, and he had been hiding for so many years. The matter would eventually be clarified: "That... actually I don't have anything to do with Yun Xiao Niang Niang, just fellow Taoist practitioners, that's all..."

  A loud slap landed on Bo Fu's face, and Bi Xiao furiously returned the peacock feather that Bo Fu had given to the three sisters, then pulled Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao away. Bo Fu looked down at the ground, not daring to look at Yun Xiao's expression, gently touching his own face with a bitter smile "For thousands of years, it's actually the first time someone has dared to slap me, this is really..."

  Next to him, the tenth prince, Junzi, drew his sword and asked directly: "What's wrong with you? Don't you want a beautiful woman who automatically sticks to you? Yun Xiao!!! Famous in the world of Feng Shui! Are you gay? I'd better be careful about my butt..."

  Bo Yu was shocked and amused, directly kicking towards Junzi Sword. However, he saw that the boring person suddenly split into three, with a surge of energy, and directly received another kick. Bo Yu was surprised and carefully observed, only to find that Da Yu's merit for controlling the flood had already been fulfilled, and the inheritance of the imperial court had begun. The human race had already entered the era of slavery. The Tenth Prince gained a lot of merit from controlling the flood and completing the imperial court's affairs, adding to his previous merit and the Hongmeng Purple Qi he secretly hid, successfully beheading the two corpses of good and evil. He was only one step away from cutting off his own body and becoming a saint. The Tenth Prince saw Bo Yu's surprise and was complacent. However, just a moment later, Bo Yu coldly smiled and walked out, directly meeting the nine wives of the Tenth Prince. He casually transformed several peacock feathers into large sticks and handed them to the nine female demons, also secretly transmitting a few magical formulas. The female demons immediately bowed down, overjoyed.

  From then on, in the tenth prince's cave, one could occasionally see a female demon quietly walking behind the tenth prince who was reading or doing something else and hitting him with a big stick before leaving. It turned out that the treasure given by Bohou to them was a magical artifact, which could not be detected by anyone except saints, and the stick could knock out anyone other than saints without harming their bodies. Unfortunately, this treasure could not attack from a distance and had limited power. In recent years, the tenth prince has relied on his own cultivation progress to escape his duties of paying taxes many times, and he also went out to steal jade and fragrance, which made his wives hate him so much that their teeth itched. Now that Bohou gave this treasure to those little girls, the tenth prince was in trouble.

  No mention of the tenth prince's misfortune, only to see Bo Fu looking a bit lost after San Cang Niang Niang left. However, Bo Fu didn't dwell on it and directly raised his hand to transform into his Five-Colored World and enter it.

  In the colorful world, several large continents began to evolve with life. The main continent did not move, but was where he had spent many years in the wilderness, surrounded by flowers, trees, and various living creatures. In one independent world, a massive continent started the evolutionary history of Earth's life, while another independent world saw several continents divided into different fantasy life forms. Bo Yu entered the continent of Earth's evolution, transforming into an earthly creature that fought, killed, and preyed upon others to evolve. During the Devonian period, he transformed into a giant Deng fish, freely preying and killing in the ancient ocean. When the Mesozoic era arrived, he became various carnivorous dinosaurs roaming the land. In the Cenozoic era, he transformed into a ferocious carnivore, perfectly adapting to his surroundings. Finally, he halted time on the continent at the Quaternary glacial period of the Pleistocene epoch, creating an independent time-space fragment for each geological era. He then entered the world of games and anime, evolving bird-dragon species, flying dragon species, ancient dragons, beast-dragon species, saber-toothed beasts, and various other biological groups. Still transforming into countless ferocious beasts, he indulged in pleasure... until Bo Yu finally grew tired. In his own small continent at the center of his colorful world, within his massive Gothic castle's highest "throne room," he entered a long dreamless sleep.

  Time has passed relentlessly, and although the colorful world's time is not in sync with the vast wilderness' time, even using the vast wilderness' time calculation, it has already been over a thousand years. The Xia Dynasty has become a historical term, and now even the Shang Dynasty that replaced it has entered the era of King Zhou of Shang. On this land, the names "Fierce Bird Ba Fu" and "Southern King Gong" that once shook the heavens have been gradually forgotten by the new generation of demons. Those demon overlords from back then have also mostly gone into hiding, and the new generation of demons has forgotten about the demon heavenly court of old. Their powers can no longer be compared to those of the demon overlords of yore. In these thousand years, only one major event occurred: on a certain day, Hong Jun suddenly appeared, transforming the Eastern Emperor's Bell into the Demon Realm's Heavenly Skies, ordering many demon overlords to enter and guard them, and commanding the demon heavenly court to automatically disperse into these heavenly skies to suppress the demons' aura and abilities. However, since then, unless new demons of exceptional talent emerge from the vast wilderness and can enter these heavenly skies on their own, they would have to rely on human aura and be born from it, thus becoming entangled with humans. The demon overlords also have many responsibilities as guardians and do not have much free time to come to the vast wilderness and interfere with human aura.

  At this time, the Honghuang Tian Ting had been established for thousands of years, but its authority was not prominent and could not control the world like the Youzu Tian Ting. The world was still dominated by the two major sects of Taoism, and ordinary people only knew about the distinction between the Jie Teaching and the Quan Teaching, without any concept of the Heavenly Court.

  The Jade Emperor was once again subjected to the idle air of the two religions' cultivators, and after thousands of years, he could no longer bear it. In a fit of rage, he went to the Purple Mist Palace to find Hongjun Daozu and cry out his grievances. Daozu also happened to be looking for an opportunity to seal the gods and thoroughly stabilize the order of the three realms until the next kalpa, so he called upon the Three Pure Ones of the Daoist sect.
