Episode 149

  Suddenly, with a loud rumble, the heavenly gate opened. The gate was not a gate, but rather a round, golden light flashing arched hole like a door. Between it, there were countless auspicious clouds and misty rainbows pouring down to the mortal world. The colorful lights gradually gathered into a five-colored rainbow, paving a path to ascend to heaven, connecting the heavenly gate above and the body of Chang'e below.

  Chang'e's figure slowly rose, under her bare feet, the nine-tiered lotus platform leaped out a long rainbow, carrying her dharma body gradually moving further and further away. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, not daring to blink even slightly, only gazing in a direction that was insufficient. Although her tearful eyes were blurry, she did not wipe them away. Insufficient also gazed at Chang'e, yet his face wore a smile, seeing Chang'e gradually enter the heavenly gate, he then raised his hand and lightly waved. In his chest, the sorrow of parting was like a mountain, heavy and difficult to bear, his throat was choked with sobs, even saying goodbye was something he could not bring himself to do.

  Suddenly, Chang'er felt a tremendous force from the heavens pulling her up, and in an instant, her liver and intestines were torn apart. Tears flew out like a downpour! Inside, she was frantically disordered, and in a daze, all she could say was:

  "Goodbye, not enough brother!"

  With a flash of his body, he disappeared into the Gate of Heaven and was never seen again!

  The vast sky gate suddenly closed, and the golden light of dawn immediately disappeared. The mysterious energy that filled the air for thousands of miles was gone, and the world was at peace. The sun had set early, and only the afterglow of dusk gradually faded away. The clouds that were once ablaze with fire now drifted away like waves, layer upon layer, and the time when they shone brightly with golden light was no more! If it weren't for Chang'e's crossing of the tribulation, this place would have been surrounded by a thousand miles of changing earth and water, all vegetation turned to flying ash, and rocks and stones would be as red as cinnabar. It would be impossible to imagine that this land had once been so shocking and terrifying!

  On the precipice, there is not enough room to stand on a single rock, raising one's head in a daze to gaze up at the vast sky. The place where it resides, in all eight directions, there are no signs of human or beast, no shadows of grass or trees, even the clear wind brushing against its face, a thousand sounds are silent. The light of the late sunset stretches out its solitary figure, standing alone and shining brightly in this boundless dusty world, drinking in sorrow.

  Easy to repair the door, easy to repair the immortal mansion on top of a thousand feet, law clouds are everywhere, and all the repairs at that time are staring with frowns. One repair way:

  "That serpent demon has already broken through the void and risen to the heavens! However, our sect's disciples have all lost their trails, I reckon they're all gone!"

  "How? Shall we go? Look up or send someone to check again?"

  "After three days, our vital energy will be exhausted, how can we go there? Hurry up and send a capable person to go ahead!"

  Then the cloud head and others repaired, descended to the immortal mansion, and dispatched people one by one.

  Yi Xiu Men's ancestors and Taizong, Gaozong couple secretly plotted:

  "Being in a place of master's convenience, first hand is all in my easy-to-repair door. Wearing into the Tao below, thousands of people with clever doors, entering the mountain to inspect."

  "Furthermore, I will dispatch my disciples and door students to set up checkpoints within a radius of ten thousand miles. No matter what sect or school they belong to, those who obtain the puppet Feng Cheng and the treasure left by the Shi family will be killed without pardon! If that Feng Cheng is not dead, then let him leave the treasure of the Shi family in my house for easy repair!"

  Gaozong added: Taizu thought for a long time and then nodded heavily.

  "Report! Ancestral spirits, inside and outside the immortal mansion, green birds delivering books are densely packed. The master of the door asks for instructions, should they be intercepted?"

  "No need! Let it be! The more chaotic the better, take advantage of the chaos! Otherwise, those ten major sects' hosts - the Heavenly Lords in the Grand Palace will surely hinder us in every way!"

  The host of the Ten Great Sects, the residence of the Heavenly Lord in the Grand Palace. The immortal mansion of the Flying Immortals on land, surrounded by white clouds, with a golden great hall, shining brightly. On the temple's upper floor, one cultivator sits alone, with three long whiskers and wearing a Taoist robe, exuding an air of elegance and majesty without losing his dignity. Below, two rows of jade tables are arranged, with several cultivators seated. Even the leader of the Grand Palace, the Great Sect Master, is also among them. The cultivators dare not show their true strength, while the several Heavenly Lords inside are shocked and furious.

  "All those who were sent for repairs have personally experienced a hundred battles, their skills and methods are all-encompassing and profound, how could......"

  One day, the respected one's repair stood in the temple, on one side of the golden light shield that protected the original spirit lamp, gazing at more than a dozen already extinguished original spirit lamps and murmuring to himself.

  "Has Hao Tianzun's message arrived?"

  The great immortal of the Upper Prime asked coldly.

  "Returning to the old ancestor, the book has already arrived, and I am waiting for your instructions."

  The Great Elder spoke in a respectful tone.

  "Go on! Speak!"

  "The anomaly in the heavens is caused by a demon named Jinchanger who broke through the Great Tribulation. This demon was the supreme ruler of the demon tribe a thousand years ago. All the cultivators sent by my palace to the peak of the Dao have died at his tribulation site! The cause of death is unknown! Puppet Feng Cheng is a wise man from ten thousand years ago, who carries the Nine Spirits Divine Box and another heavy treasure by his side. It is said that this demon is the lover of Jinchanger, the former supreme ruler of the demon tribe."

  Lu Xian was silent for a long time before sighing and saying:

  "Jin Zizun has indeed transcended the tribulation and flown away! Indeed, he is a heaven-endowed talent, I am not his match! Let the Grand Master arrange other matters then!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, his figure remained still, but slowly dissipated and became invisible. Only a faint aura of collapse could be felt. In the blink of an eye, his presence was gone. The Grand Masters all stood up to bid farewell, watching him disappear. The Great Grand Master issued an order:

  "Zhao Jie led the way, with Tian Zun's personal troops heading to the Yao Xian Du Jian location to investigate. They had to get to the bottom of where Feng Cheng's puppet was. If he was already dead, then they would bring back his corpse. That guy had been tempered by the Wan Gu Duan Ti Da Zhèn furnace, and his mortal body was as hard as gold, so it shouldn't have been damaged yet. Tian Zun ordered Hao to coordinate with the ten major sects, setting up a heaven-and-earth net to wait for them. Any cultivators who tried to escape would be killed, regardless of their sect or whether they possessed a Shi Jia legacy treasure! The Daoist, Buddhist, Yao, ghostly, demonic, and magical methods were too numerous to count, and if one was careless, they would definitely be taken advantage of by other cultivators. At that time, not only would the puppet be unobtainable, but even the Shi Jia legacy treasure would be untouchable, and it would only bring ridicule upon us! Even if Lao Zu suffered mockery from other sects, our faces would also lose all dignity! Pass down the order to the ten major sects: it's better to mistakenly kill three thousand than to let one person escape!"

  "Yes!"

  Digital messenger promised and went out.

  In a mysterious and secluded place. In the Nine You Xian Fu, there is a grand hall, shining brightly. Even the ten or so cultivators who have achieved great virtues and are about to ascend to heaven are nervous.

  "Dozens of powerful cultivators actually all perished! How is this possible?"

  Everyone was completely unbelievable.

  "Their primal divine light has already been extinguished, how can they be spared!"

  A group of immortals on land suddenly fell silent at the same time.

  "Hmph! If I were to die at the hands of that demon fairy's Broken Void Great Tribulation, it would be tolerable. But if I were to die at the hands of the Palace's Flow, this deity will not stand idly by!"

  After a moment, Yixing spoke in an angry tone.

  "We must send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

  The man in black hooded cloak spoke in a low voice.

  "The crux of the matter is the core of the mysterious formation! Order all departments to take immediate action, go all out, and don't let the puppet Feng escape."

  "What then if the puppet Feng Cheng dies?"

  One cultivator raised his doubts, and all the other cultivators looked up at the upper seat with their eyes.

  "Hmph! Do you think the Wan Gu Furnace Body Great Array is a child's plaything? That puppet Feng Cheng has already been refined and forged, even with your cultivation combined, it would be difficult to defeat him in a single strike."

  Everyone was shocked. The combination of yin and yang at the initial stage of cultivation, the rest all entered the peak of the Tao, if the combined force of several cultivators could destroy mountains and rivers with one blow. But such a blow, the puppet of the law body cannot be destroyed, it is really shocking to hear!

  "All of you, listen up! From this moment on, get moving immediately and don't slack off. You must capture the core puppet of Xuan Zhen, Feng Cheng, and bring him before me!"

  The Supreme Master gave a low order from his throne below. The crowd of cultivators responded and left.

  In the secret realm of the Ark family, inside a jade palace, half of the Ark floated. Below it, dozens of powerful beings had entered the realm of the Tao, each holding their own magical instruments and standing solemnly. Inside the Ark's great hall, one person sat with eyes closed in meditation, not uttering a single word. The cultivators below also sweated and did not dare to come out, trembling with fear.

  "Is it all in vain then? And have all the men I sent been killed?"

  "Yes, Lord. According to investigation, at that time the remnants of that historian were in the land of the Golden Fairy, Jin Tianer, who was about to break through the Great Tribulation, and it's likely they got caught up in the aftermath."

  "Let's investigate and verify before reporting! I'm only concerned about what happens to that thing, the rest is up to you all."

  "Yes!"

  The crowd slowly got up and backed out quietly, with no sound coming from the dozen or so practitioners.

  In a certain place, several masked men conspired together, all wanting to take advantage of the fire to steal grain and snatch oil in the chaos.

  Then, Jiao Jiao's mother was not enough to overcome the difficulties in all directions, and the dark tide surged. The forces of various parties set up a dense network, all for the sake of vying for her family's treasured legacy.
