Chapter 237 Obstruction
Although the murderous aura was fleeting, it was impossible for Xin Yuan to have misjudged it given his current level of cultivation.
The Mind Monkey suddenly opened its pair of divine eyes, and two beams of divine light shot straight into the sky from its eyes.
The celestial beings in the celestial realm were greatly astonished by the disturbance.
The monkey's actions were undeniably audacious, yet even after searching the heavens, it couldn't find the slightest clue.
"The path of the Golden Core is a one-time proof that lasts forever. If I could control the three-natured infants, I would be safe. But this awkward situation is truly difficult to handle."
He sensed the murderous aura but couldn't find its source; it seemed to be the work of those old bastards.
As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Now I really need to be extra careful.
If he falls into their trap, all his plans will be in vain.
The monkey stroked his chin, his gaze distant.
The conscious spirit beneath the tree, observing the restless mind's state, immediately sneered, "Now you know you've ensnared yourself? If you hadn't stopped me, achieving the infancy through the convergence of the three natures would have been a piece of cake. The path of the Golden Elixir requires the elixir to be formed before seeking enlightenment. Before the elixir is formed, one should first perform meritorious deeds, seizing the opportunities of creation to secure one's life force. To presumptuously seek to prioritize nature over life, following the Northern School's path? Even Master Qiu failed to become an immortal; how can you expect to? I will prove who is right!"
The Monkey King sneered and ignored him completely, as if what the God of Consciousness said was not worth refuting.
And less than a quarter of an hour after Xin Yuan withdrew his gaze.
Streams of barely perceptible black energy quietly entered the Sacred Realm of Reincarnation.
One of the black wisps actually deceived the perceptions of the mind and consciousness, disappearing into the ginseng fruit tree.
One of the three old Taoists from the Immortal Realm had a radiant light emanating from between his brows, which allowed him to transcend the barriers of the Three Realms and precisely merge with the black energy within the ginseng fruit tree.
"Let this old Taoist priest see what secrets you hold! And what exactly is this journey you're taking to the west!"
...
The consciousness, which was originally resentful, immediately sensed when the old Taoist began to search through his memories from the ginseng fruit tree by merging with black qi.
"Who is spying on me? It seems they want to see my memories? Who is it? That old dog Yu Chen? Does he have such methods?"
The consciousness looked at the goosebumps on its arms caused by the invasion of its privacy, and its face darkened so much it could be wrung out.
His killing intent burned even brighter.
It's hard for someone not to want to kill you when you expose yourself completely and without any secrets to another person.
However, he is now trapped by the ginseng fruit tree that the jade puppet has transformed into, and his supernatural powers have been reduced to less than one-tenth.
The other party's methods were extremely secretive, unlike those of people like Yu Chen.
He was at a loss for what to do.
However, his appearance still caught the attention of Xin Yuan.
"Hmm? What happened?"
Seeing the mind's anger churning and killing intent surging, the monkey immediately became solemn.
The Consciousness looked at the Heart Monkey, setting aside its lingering resentment, and gritted its teeth, saying, "Someone is using Yu Chen's Soul-Seizing Technique to spy on my memories!"
The monkey's eyes widened, and he instantly realized that this was definitely caused by the murderous intent directed at his true self.
The person behind it is making a move at this moment.
The Monkey King was not worried that this person would obtain the scriptures and methods of the Inner Elixir.
He feared that this person would completely ruin his plans.
He immediately opened his divine eyes again and scanned the ginseng fruit tree.
A mass of pitch-black energy was emanating countless threads, as if it were about to completely corrupt the ginseng fruit tree.
Just as Xin Yuan was about to make a move, a blazing white line of fire came from the void and burned directly towards the ball of black energy.
"Yu Chen?"
This fierce line of fire heading towards the black energy was none other than the work of Yu Chen.
At this moment, Daoist Yu Chen was already in a state of madness.
He muttered under his breath, "You bastard! How dare you try to steal my Dao Fruit! I'll burn you to death!"
Strangely enough, with Yu Chen Dao Ren's cultivation level, he shouldn't have been able to detect the existence of the black qi, let alone threaten it.
Unfortunately, this blazing white flame exploded upon encountering the black energy, like a spark falling into a powder keg.
It soared a hundred feet high upon contact.
The entire ginseng fruit tree was burned into a glassy state.
The black energy emitted an extremely sharp crackling sound as it was engulfed by the great fire.
All the countless beings in the Sacred Realm of Reincarnation who heard this voice felt their heads throbbing with pain.
Even the monkey frowned, and the veins on its forehead throbbed.
...
Above the Nine Heavens
The old Taoist priest who had been spying on Chen Chunan couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his face turning pale.
The two people waiting nearby looked surprised: "Huh?"
The old Taoist took a deep breath, his expression returning to normal, and then sneered, "I knew it wouldn't react to my interference in the lower realm this time; so that's what it was waiting for! Too bad, I'm still one step ahead!"
The other two were immediately relieved after hearing what the old Taoist priest said.
"Then you have achieved your goal, fellow Daoist?"
"Naturally, I now know their purpose: they want to use my Sacred Realm of Reincarnation to awaken their true nature and achieve the Great Dao? Heh! Then I'll lend you a small helping hand!"
Before the old Taoist finished speaking, the whisk in his hand moved automatically without wind, and the whisk's tail transformed into countless threads that disappeared into the void.
Then, painful roars echoed from the void.
The other ends of those countless threads seemed to each bind a demon.
"With these hundreds of thousands of demons at your disposal, I'd like to see how you manage to overcome your tribulation, hehe~"
Before the old Taoist's smug laughter had even faded, a strange celestial fire suddenly crossed the boundary and landed among the demons bound by silk threads.
The light fell like a spark.
The tiny spark, no bigger than a grain of rice, instantly expanded into a raging inferno.
The hundreds of thousands of demons roared in agony amidst the flames, their formless bodies and demonic thoughts becoming the best fuel for the heavenly fire.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of demons were wiped out, and countless fire threads continued to burn towards the Taoist along the silk threads.
The Taoist priest instantly became like a chicken with its neck being choked, and could no longer laugh.
"Damn it! It's the Heavenly Dao again!"
He frantically chopped off the whisk to shut out the flames, his face contorted with rage, a far cry from his previous dignified and otherworldly demeanor.
He never imagined that the Heavenly Dao, suppressed for ten thousand years, would have such a hidden trick up its sleeve.
The leading Taoist priest showed no reaction whatsoever, as if this scene was already within his expectations.
He looked at the old Taoist who had made the move: "Fellow Daoist, you're being too hasty. Have you forgotten why the Heavenly Demons suddenly flourished ten thousand years ago?"
Ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dao suddenly severed the connection between Heaven and Earth, and the connection between the Desire Realm and this Realm was suddenly strengthened.
He would never believe that there was no divine intervention involved.
Only by suppressing the spiritual energy of the immortal path and delaying the time when He and others reach that realm will He have a chance to turn the tide.
Since He can open a gap between the Desire Realm and the Realm of Man, how could such a grand and ostentatious action be kept secret from Him?
That's incredibly stupid!
"Ten thousand years ago? You mean?"
Another old Taoist priest sneered, "After the severing of the connection between heaven and earth, the calamities have become increasingly severe. Who else could it be but the work of the Heavenly Dao? I just didn't expect that His control over the Desire Realm would reach such an extent."
Seeing that the two understood, the leading old Taoist nodded and said, "It's not too late to know now! In that case, the three of us will work together. I will be responsible for restraining the Heavenly Dao. You two should only send in a few dozen Heavenly Demons; do not be greedy!"
"good!"
