#937 - The Light of Righteousness

In the Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun went into seclusion to cope with the catastrophe, and handed over all affairs to his eldest disciple Wuliang Xianweng to take charge.

The Immortal Wuliang, who looked like an old man, came out in person to receive Taiyi Zhenren, and he also met Tao Yu and Nezha.

Immortal Wuliang knew about Lingzhu's reincarnation.

This is the task that the master gave to Taiyi Zhenren in order to advance to the rank of Twelve Golden Immortals. It is very simple to complete.

As for Tao Yu, Wuliang Xianweng also had a very good initial impression.

Originally, Yuxu Palace was very strict in accepting disciples. Although it did not exclude people from practicing with skills, the review would be very strict.

There is a huge difference between this and the Jiejiao's teaching without discrimination.

But Tao Yu didn't just come here with Taiyi Zhenren, he was also truly surrounded by immortal aura and full of righteousness, which was quite in line with the painting style of Yuxu Palace.

In particular, his disdain for animals with fur and horns is exactly in line with the Immortal Wuliang's wishes!

Although as the current acting headmaster of the Chan Sect, he couldn't show his preferences in front of a stranger he just met, but he still stroked his beard and said

"Hahaha~, Fellow Daoist Xuanji has a keen eye. Although the Jie Sect has its own way of teaching without discrimination, the characters of its followers are uneven. The rampant demon cultivators in the mortal world are also related to them."

There was no specific sarcasm towards Jiejiao in the words, but it "objectively" showed that the teaching method of Biyou Palace would bring disaster to the people.

"I think so, too."

Tao Yu nodded with a smile, looking like she agreed.

His purpose in coming in this time was very clear, which was to obtain the skills and spells that he wanted.

In fact, Biyou Palace also has the Three Pure Ones inheritance, and it should be easier to obtain.

Although the pioneers who came in did not have much information about the overseas Biyou Palace due to their landing location, Tao Yu would definitely be able to find it if he was willing to spend some time.

But even if Tao Yu had not ended up nearby when he went out, he would still be more inclined to Yuxu Palace rationally.

Because Yuanshi Tianzun is extremely protective of his people and will bully the weak.

A friendly attitude is fine, but if it's hostile, it's sure to cause some trouble.

Now, it's actually going pretty smoothly.

"You can't wear tinted glasses. When it comes to Nezha, I brought inherent prejudice. After all, this is just the Chan Sect in Nezha. Don't be influenced by other prehistoric Fengshen series. After all, it's just a cartoon suitable for all ages. There shouldn't be so many dark things..."

Because of his contact with Nezha along the way, Tao Yu changed his original views of Nezha, and now he is also ready to look at the Chan sect with a more normal perspective.

Although this Wuliang Immortal could passively sense a hint of wariness towards him in his heart, he was not as kind as he appeared to be.

But this is also human nature. At least the other person's good impression of you when you first meet is real.

I was able to passively feel that he also agreed with what I said, and I was very happy...

"Fellow Daoist Xuanji, it's just a coincidence that we are about to take the Immortal Ascension Test, and you were brought here by Junior Brother Taiyi. I see that your Immortal Technique skills are not weak either.

"Then we can skip the mundane details and get straight to the point. The content of your assessment is the same. You just need to subdue the three assessment demon kings."

Immortal Wuliang stroked his beard.

"Oh? If that's possible, that would be great. Thank you for the convenience provided by Immortal Master."

A smile appeared on Tao Yu's face, as if she was a little surprised.

But his heart sank slightly.

Although it was difficult to directly read the specific thoughts of the Immortal Wuliang, Tao Yu's authority could passively sense the bad thoughts that flashed by before.

It's not pure evil thoughts, it should be some defensive measures against me.

Even without verifying his own background, Wuliang Xianweng was confident that he could ensure that he would not cause any trouble.

"Is it forbidden?"

A thought flashed through Tao Yu's mind. This must be it.

"Hey, I wanted to change my image of Chan Buddhism a little bit."

Tao Yu sighed in his heart. It seemed that his tinted glasses were not entirely wrong. Nezha might be the reincarnation of the magic pill and brought some accidents.

There is no problem with sects like Chanjiao and Shen Gongbao.

However, Tao Yu originally came here to seek the skills and methods of this world.

As long as we have the Yuxu authentic sect here, it’s okay to endure it for a short period of time.

Get what you want first.

As for the restrictions, Tao Yu really had nothing to worry about...

…

"These are my two disciples, He Tong and Lu Tong. Let He Tong take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."

After a brief meeting, Immortal Wuliang introduced the golden boy and jade girl behind him.

This little crane has a cool expression, a dignified appearance, and is quite charming.

However, Tao Yu would just take a look at it. When the main task was in front of him, he would simply ignore other minor things.

"Well, I think time is running out, so why not start right away."

Taiyi Zhenren didn't know why, but he always felt a little anxious, which made Tao Yu feel that the master and disciple were in a hurry.

"The problem at Chentang Pass? That's true. The East China Sea Dragon Palace will not let it go after what happened at the end of the first episode. They need to suppress the sea monster tribe, so I wonder if they can spare some time."

"This... If Junior Brother is so anxious, then it's fine. Let them follow the monster hunting team."

The kind-hearted Wuliang Immortal gave face to Taiyi Zhenren and waved to Lu Tong.

"You will be the leader of the team now. Please make sure to protect your Junior Brother Nezha."

"yes."

Lu Tong acted very stern, and Tao Yu could also feel a hint of evil spirit lingering under the immortal aura on Lu Tong.

It’s not that the deer essence was not refined cleanly, but that his hands were stained with the lives of many living creatures.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, nephew."

Taiyi Zhenren did not have the airs of a senior master. When he saw that the matter was accomplished, he thanked him happily.

"Uncle Master, you are too polite. This is what I should do. Uncle Master, Junior Brother, Fellow Daoist Xuanji, please."

Although Lu Tong had a murderous aura, he was still quite polite to the few people.

Several people flew in the sky on auspicious clouds and headed towards the main hall of Yuxu Palace, preparing to summon the monster-hunting team that had just returned.

"It's worthy of being the Yuxu Palace."

Under the guidance of Lu Tong, Tao Yu was now able to make a more in-depth assessment of the Yuxu Palace. Here was one of the powerful auras he sensed before coming in!

"That is the Tianyuan Ding, which is used by Master to make pills."

Taiyi Zhenren knew the situation here, and without Lu Tong's introduction, he took the initiative to explain some of the nearby conditions to Tao Yu and Nezha.

The direction he pointed to was a small tripod surrounded by eight trigrams buildings.

However, Tao Yu only needed to take a glance to feel that the 'small tripod' still possessed an extremely large size and energy under the clouds!

In the current world, the status of Tianyuan Ding even surpasses the Boat of Creation!

Even if it were brought to the outside world, it would probably not be much worse...

——

"It has certain spatial attributes, but it seems to be mainly [Fire] and [Melting]. Is it mainly focused on alchemy..."

Tao Yu was able to judge the horror of the Tianyuan Ding, and he felt a little tempted.

Good stuff, a magical auxiliary tool.

and……

"The demons that refuse to obey orders must have entered this cauldron."

Tao Yu is not sentimental at all, she is just a demon.

The Chan sect subdues demons and refines elixirs, which is just a difference in stance.

Although it seems to be both a good thing and a good thing on the surface, it is not unacceptable for the future of his own organization, and Tao Yu has no intention of taking any action to manage it for the time being.

"For everything, the most important thing is to focus on the skills. Just subduing three monsters is enough to pass the test. This is no different from giving it away for free."

If the problem is difficult, Tao Yu might consider some other ways and methods, and even secretly attack the opponent from outside with a club or something.

But since the test was simple and the backup plan might be some restrictions from Wuliang Immortal, Tao Yu didn't care much about it.

Based on his own words, Wuliang Xianweng is just an ordinary powerful god in Tao Yu's eyes, and he is not a big threat even if he activates his divine weapon.

"In fact, Master Taiyi still has quite a few valuable treasures. The essence of the [Map of the Country and the People] is probably not low either. After all, it contains the world..."

As he thought of this, Tao Yu also came to the side of the deer boy and said with a smile

"Master Lu knows that I am a casual cultivator from overseas. Although I have some minor magical powers, I have not yet obtained the orthodox cultivation methods of the Xuanmen sect. I wonder if our Yuxu Palace has any basic cultivation methods..."

Tao Yu participated in the test of ascending to immortality, and after passing it, he could directly cleanse his "mortal body" through the Feixian Jue.

But before that, with the attitude of Wuliang Immortal, he had already accepted Tao Yu as a disciple of Yuxu Palace.

This question doesn't seem rash.

Although this Lu Xiantong is only a third-generation disciple, he is already extremely powerful and possesses the power of a saint. In this independent world with tough rules and destructive power that is difficult to expand, he can perform quite well.

"We were taught by the Jade Purity Saint, and the formula we practiced is the Jade Void Cave True Scripture..."

When Lu Tong said this, a hint of pride appeared on his face, but then he said

"It's fine to teach you the basics of the Jade Void Cave Scripture now, but as Master Taiyi knows, the Jade Void Cave Scripture is all-encompassing and everyone will have different understandings. For some unique methods and routes, it's best to ask the Golden Immortals for advice."

"Oh? I wonder if Master Taiyi can explain this to me..."

Tao Yu then looked at Taiyi Zhenren next to him.

This kind of skill is probably divided into layers, but judging from the popularity of Taiyi Zhenren, it is very likely that he has obtained the entire technique.

Plus he was stupid, so he was emptied on the way...

…

Pah pah pah~

Tao Yu looked at a group of ragged groundhog spirits in front of him, who were beaten to a pulp by Nezha.

The corners of his eyes were twitching a little.

Just these things, are they threatening?

Looking at their patched clothes and the broken bowls filled with sticky liquid that even dogs wouldn't eat, Tao Yu sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, it was for refining the elixir.

But this guy Nezha, has he merged with Ao Bing?

Tao Yu looked at Nezha who suddenly turned into a living being after taking a pill, and watched him defeat the group of groundhogs with his ice-attributed skills. He also understood why he felt something was wrong with Nezha.

It seems that Ao Bing is also on him.

"Strange, their bodies were destroyed at the end, and Taiyi Zhenren wanted to rebuild them, but there were not enough materials and only Nezha's body? Are they here just for Ao Bing's body this time..."

As soon as the information appeared, Tao Yu grasped the context and determined that this was the truth.

"No wonder they are so anxious. Ao Bing may not be able to maintain this state for a long time."

Seeing Nezha successfully fight off the enemy, and then the members of the monster hunting team began to rush forward and tied up all the groundhogs, Tao Yu also smiled and turned back to the deer boy and said

"It's my turn next, right?"

"Yes, according to the intelligence, deep in the forest, there is an old demon who is recruiting disciples and teaching them magic. He has great ambitions. We need to catch them all in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive."

The deer boy said with a stern expression, then paused.

"This is a test. If Brother Xuanji wants to take it, we will not take action at that time. However, Junior Brother Nezha can help. Shen Zhengdao is quite powerful and is good at speed."

"I have been practicing hard for many years. Although I don't have a suitable method, I am still somewhat confident in my magical power. Now I have received guidance from Master Taiyi and have started to learn the Jade Void Cave Scripture. It is time to practice it."

Tao Yu roughly judged that the strongest one among this group of groundhogs was not even a boundary breaker.

Even if Ao Bing borrowed Nezha's body, it was too easy for him to deal with it.

This kind of thing, even if it is regarded as a test for ascending to immortality, is indeed a bit abstract.

But Shen Zhengdao?

Does this old demon still have a name...

…

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The air in the forest was filled with a natural fragrance. On the pool under a towering waterfall, many pillars were erected.

The little demons stood on the pillars, posing in various postures.

At this time, an old man with a strong and upright figure was constantly instructing these little demons.

"Although we are demons, as long as we are willing to practice hard, we can still embark on the road to becoming immortals!

"It is not easy for us to transform, awaken our spiritual wisdom, and speak human language. We should not waste this opportunity."

Shen Zhengdao's teaching made these little demons work harder.

But at this moment, a voice came from above the waterfall.

"Oh? Then why would a monster go through the trouble of transforming?"

Shen Zhengdao was shocked at first because he didn't notice the other party's presence.

At this time, he looked up and saw Tao Yu standing on the waterfall with an immortal look. Only then did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief and bowed.

"I have met this fellow Taoist."

With this kind of appearance, he must be a righteous person without a doubt, one of us.

After greeting each other, he thought about Tao Yu's question and then sighed.

"Only we ourselves know how difficult it is to cultivate from a demon beast into a human form. However, if we demon beasts want to seek the way to immortality, we must cultivate into a human form."

"Why?"

"In the eyes of us monsters, the world is only black and white, which is too monotonous. When I heard people say that humans can see a colorful world, a world full of exotic colors, I knew that if we want to accomplish anything, we must first transform into human form..."

Shen Zhengdao seemed to be speaking from inspiration, standing upright on the wooden stake with a hint of envy and yearning in his eyes.

It is extremely difficult for a monster to transform into a human, and it is even more difficult for it to be captured by immortals after transforming.

Unlike humans, who are born with a high starting point...

Then I became curious about Tao Yu's purpose.

"I don't usually have many visitors to my small temple. I wonder what your intention is in coming here?"

"I got it from you..."

Tao Yu looked at Shen Zhengdao in front of him calmly.

He also didn't expect that compared to the weak groundhog before, Shen Zhengdao's strength had actually reached the saint level, and his firm will was excellent among the saints Tao Yu had seen.

However, his current level of practice is not enough, and he is lacking some skills. His pure strength level can only be considered as an ordinary saint at best.

But in addition to this, Tao Yu could also feel a unique talent on the lightning side of him. There was a rhythm of rules and Taoism emerging all around him. He had already touched the path of power. If his cultivation accumulation could reach the peak of the sainthood step by step, he might be able to open up a divine path for himself.

To put it in the terms of this world, Shen Zhengdao has the potential to become a Golden Immortal!

If Shen Zhengdao is a demon king, then he does pose a great potential threat.

It was just this simple communication, plus Tao Yu passively collected some thoughts emitted by the other party.

This guy doesn't seem to be like that...

——

"Shen Gongbao's father? Isn't Shen Gongbao an immortal of the Chan Sect? Has his deeds been exposed? Eliminate dissidents?"

Although Tao Yu did not directly read Shen Zhengdao's memory, he was able to scan most of the little monsters nearby without any effort.

These little demons came to seek advice because they heard that Shen Zhengdao’s son had become Yuxu’s disciple.

Judging from Shen Zhengdao's daily performance, he is also very proud of his son Xianyuan.

Every word and action was meticulous, as if she was afraid that something might go wrong and bring shame to her son.

At the same time, he also restrained the little demons under his command and made the surrounding area like a paradise.

He and the little demons under his command have never harmed humans. In order to avoid humans and avoid disputes, they even took the initiative to hide in the deep mountains and forests.

Do you want to capture this kind of monster too...

"Accept me?"

Shen Zhengdao couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

I am also a cultivator, we are all on the right path!

"Is there some misunderstanding? Did one of my disciples get into trouble?"

Shen Zhengdao seemed a little anxious, and the first thing he thought of was whether one of his disciples had gotten into trouble.

At this time, Nezha, who had been waiting impatiently, jumped out from behind and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just fight first and talk later..."

Nezha jumped out aggressively, and fell asleep in mid-air. Then Ao Bing came out to take over, and his whole body burst out with icy Taoist charm, which made Tao Yu look at him sideways.

"It's so pure..., looking at the outside world, this can be used directly without any adaptation, but..."

Tao Yu did not follow suit, but instead saw the two men fighting quickly over there.

Nezha is the reincarnation of the magic pill, and now he is possessed by the spirit pearl Ao Bing. Although he is still very young, his magical powers have already surpassed Shen Zhengdao!

The Dao rhythms in the hands of the two men flowed and collided with each other, and Shen Zhengdao was actually at a disadvantage for a while, which made the little demons nearby very nervous, but because they could not intervene in the battle on the master's side, they all began to surround Tao Yu and stared at him nervously.

The next moment, Shen Zhengdao suddenly disappeared from the spot, and appeared beside Nezha at an extremely terrifying speed as if teleporting, and knocked him out with a flick of his hand.

When he appeared again, he had already come behind Nezha and launched a combo attack in mid-air.

“Although Shen Zhengdao’s magic power is not as good as Nezha and Ao Bing’s, and the purity of his Dao rhyme is not as good as theirs, he is still an old demon after all. His proficiency and means are superior to theirs. His divine will is not weak either. Moreover, he is holding back at this time…”

Tao Yu looked at Nezha who was being beaten in the air and showed a hint of hesitation.

This old man...

What a nice guy.

"With the concentration of his holy will, it is enough to compress his own magic power to break through the defense. Even if Nezha has strong magic power, he can't defend himself. What a pity..."

However, it was precisely because of Shen Zhengdao's action that Ao Bing, who was controlling Nezha's body, gradually adapted and noticed the other party's movement pattern. He instantly used his own ice skills to freeze all the water vapor around him, making the surrounding area dry.

This caused Shen Zhengdao to fall into a disadvantage again!

"I have been giving in again and again, why are you still forcing me? Do you really think I won't use force?"

After being defeated several times in a row and being beaten by Nezha controlled by Ao Bing, even though Shen Zhengdao was a good man, he could not bear the anger.

He immediately began to cast a rain spell, restoring the surroundings to his home turf. After bursting out with all his strength, he captured Nezha in just a few moves, and his other hand condensed a highly compressed sharp blade.

His whole body was wrapped in thunder, his eyes seemed to be filled with the rhythm of lightning, and his whole body exuded a majestic aura, making him completely different from the good guy before.

But at this moment, Tao Yu also took action. He raised his fingers slightly, and the rain around him condensed into flying swords, which instantly broke through the sky.

The thunder in the air was broken by the powerful sword intent, as if it was going to split the sky apart!

At the same time, Tao Yu calmly said

"It is indeed an evil heretic. This time, my Yuxu Palace will enforce justice on behalf of heaven."

"What? Yuxu Palace?"

Shen Zhengdao, who had been preparing to deal a heavy blow to Nezha, was shocked when he heard this. After Tao Yu's sword intent washed away the monster hunting team's barrier, he also caught a glimpse of the monster hunting team's army above the clouds.

I saw a flag with the word "Chan" on it.

This lowered his momentum a bit, and he then looked at the Rain Sword that was floating around him and staring at him.

He then let out a sigh and let go of Nezha.

After landing, he patted his clothes, tidied his messy hair, and bowed.

"I have met the Immortal of the Chan Sect. It was all a misunderstanding before."

At this time, Lu Tong and Taiyi Zhenren had already descended from the sky with the monster-hunting team.

Lu Tong didn't care about Shen Zhengdao's attitude at all. Instead, he looked at Tao Yu with a smile.

"Brother Xuanji's cultivation is truly outstanding, and he has only just begun to learn the Yuxudong Sutra, but he has already begun to transform his magic power. This is somewhat beyond my expectations."

"Brother Lu, thank you for your praise. I don't know what to do with you right now."

Tao Yu said calmly.

"They don't have much karma of killing, so we can take them back to Yuxu Palace to be taught."

Lu Tong also answered with ease.

This, in turn, made Shen Zhengdao look happy, and he began to restrain those disciples who were still holding weapons.

"Put down your weapons quickly. We will follow you to Yuxu Palace to receive instruction. This will actually be a shortcut."

Tao Yu looked at Shen Zhengdao deeply, then turned to look at Lu Tongdao

"I don't think so. This monster has great magical power and is extremely fast. Once it has evil intentions, it will be very difficult to deal with it."

Tao Yu's words stunned both Shen Zhengdao and Lu Tong.

Even Taiyi and Ao Bing who possessed Nezha looked over.

Ao Bing controlled Nezha's body and bowed.

"Brother Dao, he held back when we fought before, we can't..."

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

Tao Yu was not moved at all. He instantly condensed a Zanpakuto in his hand and slashed it across.

Shen Zhengdao, who had already given up resistance, seemed to have been completely unprepared for Tao Yu's attack. He stood there in a daze, with a streak of blood appearing from his forehead.

Then it split into two halves and fell to the ground with a loud bang!

Others did not expect Tao Yu to be so decisive and ruthless, and the little demons even jumped up on the spot.

"master!"

"These little demons are filled with hatred and must not be allowed to stay."

Then, the Zanpakuto in Tao Yu's hand shattered like a mirage, shua shua~

All the surrendered demons were killed instantly.

In an instant, the scene was a river of blood...

…

On the other side, in the world of the [Boat of Fortune] carried by Tao Yu, Shen Zhengdao and many little monsters were also moved to a plain.

A shadow that Tao Yukong imagined appeared in front of him.

"You guys wait here first. Yuxu Palace is not a good place. We will find a chance to release you when the time comes..."
