"Have met all the Bodhisattvas!"
Li Jing respectfully saluted.
The Bodhisattvas were clad in colorful kasayas, some stepping on seven-colored auspicious clouds, some riding mounts, some sitting quietly on lotus platforms... They passed through the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals without any hindrance and came in front of Li Jing in the blink of an eye.
"You need not be overly courteous, King Li," Manjusri Bodhisattva said, seated on an Azure Lion, smiling at Li Jing: "We are here by the order of the Buddha to capture that Primordial Chaos One Qi Immortal.
Do you have any news of his whereabouts, King Li?"
"Not yet..." said Li Jing: "However, after receiving the verbal decree from the Buddha, I immediately ordered the sealing of all four Heavenly Gates, allowing entry but not exit!
Then I dispatched a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to set up the Heaven and Earth Net. As long as that Primordial Chaos One Qi Immortal didn't flee the Heavenly Court right away, we will eventually find him!"
Manjusri Bodhisattva slightly nodded, "The Heavenly Court is not like other places, with strict regulations and laws, even we cannot act rashly. The search must be entirely handled by King Li, we shall wait here for the good news."
Li Jing hurriedly clasped his fists: "Rest assured, esteemed Bodhisattvas, as long as that Primordial Chaos One Qi Immortal is still hiding within the Heavenly Court, I will surely find him!
However, I must set expectations—if that Primordial Chaos One Qi Immortal has already left the Heavenly Court..."
"Fear not, King Li," The Bodhisattva Guanyin, seated sideways on a Golden Mane Beast, smiled and said: "Before we came here, the Buddha had already deduced the position of that Primordial Chaos One Qi Immortal.
He has been staying somewhere in the Heavenly Court and has not left."
Before she finished speaking, a sharp whistling of an arrow came from afar.
Following that, a Divine General came to report: "Reporting to the Marshal, this general has discovered a wine pot containing Immortal Drunk on Cangyue Immortal Island, it seems to house a small world inside!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing's eyes brightened, and he hurriedly said: "I heard that when True Monarch Xuantan left the gambling house, he was holding a pot of Immortal Drunk!
They must be hiding inside that wine pot, lead the way for the Bodhisattvas immediately!"
The Divine General acknowledged, and was about to speak, when The Bodhisattva Guanyin slightly shook her head, softly saying: "No need for trouble, this respect knows the way."
After speaking, she produced a verdant willow branch in her hand and gently waved it toward the front.
Li Jing and the others felt the scenery before them change rapidly, and in an instant, they had arrived near Cangyue Immortal Island.
At this moment, Cangyue Immortal Island had already been surrounded by numerous Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and the Immortal Gods residing on the island had already been forcibly evacuated.
The Bodhisattva Guanyin glanced at the small and exquisite wine pot, slightly nodding and said: "Indeed, this is the Pot Heaven Technique from the Xuanmen's Earth-shattering Divine Skills, allow me to break it!"
While speaking, she pointed her willow branch at the wine pot from afar, muttering words under her breath.
At the same time, inside the small world of the wine pot, Zhao Gongming was also talking about the critical moments of the final battle.
From his narration, Yu Yuan indeed learned many insider secrets unknown to others.
For instance, during that Divine Enthronement Tribulation, the Jie Sect internally split into two factions, one advocating steadfast protection for Great Shang, the other supporting the forces of Linhuan Pass established by Wen Zhong.
There were also hidden traitors within the Jie Sect!
Yu Yuan learned from Zhao Gongming's narration that during the final decisive battle, Tongtian Hierarch summoned his disciples to lay down the Myriad Immortals Formation, assigning the Golden Hoop Immortal to guard the array's pivot, the Six Soul Banner.
But in the end, Golden Hoop Immortal was ambushed, and the banner was seized by someone who brought it to the Western Sect, causing the Myriad Immortals Formation to collapse instantly, and the troops fell like collapsing mountains!
And this traitor was none other than Virochana Immortal, who belonged to the Seven Attendant Immortals!
After he joined the Western Sect, he utilized the power of the Six Soul Banner to achieve the true fruition of the Buddha, becoming Virochana Buddha!
Just as Zhao Gongming was speaking about the tragic failure of the Myriad Immortals Formation, Tongtian Hierarch was preparing to rebuild the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, the small world they were in suddenly shook violently and started to rapidly fracture and break apart.
"It seems we've been discovered."
Zhao Gongming furrowed his brows and transformed into a streak of clear light, escaping the small world.
But when he saw the scene outside, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals sealing off Cangyue Immortal Island tightly, along with the Bodhisattvas arriving from the Western Heaven, he couldn't help but look at Yu Yuan in surprise.
"What's going on? Apart from that Mysterious Desire Fragrance, have you provoked anyone else?"
Zhao Gongming was very clear about the origins of the Mysterious Desire Fragrance and knew that based on her status, not to mention just receiving a slap, even if she were killed outright, it wouldn't possibly cause such a huge commotion.
Looking at the scene, almost all the Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist Sect had arrived!
Zhao Gongming also knew, this kind of scene was definitely not aimed at him.
Let alone that his current Dao Xing was greatly damaged, even if it were against him at his peak, there was no need for such an overwhelming force.
Thus, there was only one answer.
All these Bodhisattvas from the Western Heaven had come for Yu Yuan!
This also made Zhao Gongming very curious.
What exactly had his young disciple done?
Had he stolen the Buddha's Glazed Lantern, or smashed his coffin board?
In response to Zhao Gongming's question, Yu Yuan merely shook his head lightly.
He also didn't know why merely slapping that Mysterious Desire Fragrance had attracted so many Bodhisattvas.
Speaking of which, this was also due to the illusion created by that ancient Bodhi, which made him believe that no one in this era knew of his existence.
Had he known the reason from the beginning, he definitely wouldn't have come to the Heavenly Court so casually, and he wouldn't have merely slapped the Mysterious Desire Fragrance.
At this moment, he looked around at these bodhisattvas with a curious expression.
Most of these people looked very familiar to him.
Although their appearances and attire had some discrepancies from his memory, they still matched up.
However, after glancing twice, his gaze fell on the mounts of Guanyin, Manjusri, and Universal Virtue Bodhisattvas.
Azure Lion, White Elephant, Golden Mane Roar!
At this moment, these three mounts were also gazing at Zhao Gongming, their eyes filled with immense sadness and humiliation.
Soon, however, they lowered their heads, their gaze becoming dull and wooden.
Yu Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes.
He was very familiar with the original forms of these three mounts; they were Qiu Shou Immortal, Spiritual Teeth Immortal, and Golden Light Immortal from the seven attendants of the Jie Sect, who were captured during the collapse of the Myriad Immortals Formation and ultimately became the mounts of Manjusri, Universal Virtue, and Guanyin.
Zhao Gongming was naturally aware of this too.
Because he never glanced at those three mounts.
It was not that he was heartless.
On the contrary, this was to preserve the dignity of the Qiu Shou Immortal and others.
To acknowledge each other rashly at this time would be to tear open their scabbed wounds once again.
Unless he could rescue them from suffering, Zhao Gongming would prefer to never see them again!
While Yu Yuan was observing the bodhisattvas around him, the bodhisattvas were also looking at him.
Clad in a light cyan cloud-patterned Daoist robe, with neither a crown nor tied-up hair, his dense curly hair casually flowed backwards; yet, it didn't appear messy but rather had an air of unrestrained elegance.
The most important thing was, this person didn't seem to have a profound Dao cultivation.
However, since all the bodhisattvas present were not ordinary immortals, they naturally would not underestimate him.
"Are you the Primordial Chaos One Qi Immortal, Yu Yuan?"
Bodhisattva Guanyin spoke in a solemn tone.
Yu Yuan nodded, just about to speak, when Zhao Gongming stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Yu Yuan, and spoke in a displeased tone to the Bodhisattva Guanyin, "Whatever you want to say, direct it at me, don't involve others!"
"You misunderstand, fellow Daoist."
Bodhisattva Guanyin smiled slightly: "In this matter, it is you, fellow Daoist, who is an outsider."
Zhao Gongming frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"By the command of the Buddha, we are to take Yu Yuan to the Spiritual Mountain!" said Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta solemnly.
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What if I refuse to go?"
Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, with a expressionless face, said, "That's not up to you."
"This is the Heavenly Court, not your Western Spiritual Mountain!" Zhao Gongming angrily said. "Do you dare to start a conflict in the Heavenly Court?"
Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta said, "We were invited by King Li to help capture demons that violate the heavenly laws, where would be the harm in engaging in a fight? King Li, aren't I correct?"
Li Jing hastily said, "I was just about to thank the bodhisattvas for offering assistance!"
"Hmph!"
Zhao Gongming, with eyebrows tightly knotted, let out a displeased grunt, but he also felt helpless about the situation and could only transmit with his primordial spirit, "I will hold them off; quickly go find your master!"
Yu Yuan shook his head and slowly scanned the bodhisattvas, speaking deliberately and slowly, "There's no need for trouble. They are but mere rotten fish and shrimp."
As these words were spoken, the expression on everyone's faces changed dramatically.
The bodhisattvas were fine.
After all, with their profound Dao cultivation and tempered disposition, such words would not easily affect them.
But Li Jing, Muzha, and the rest of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals all had dramatically changing facial expressions, almost unable to believe their own ears.
These were bodhisat...
