Mount Sumeru Collapses

While Xuanxiao was shaving Jieyin's head, Zhen Yuanzi wasn't idle. He went straight to the foot of Mount Sumeru. Mount Sumeru's protective formation was connected to the earth's ley lines, making it incredibly difficult to breach. However, Zhen Yuanzi had the Earth Book. He directly severed the connection to the earth's ley lines, ascended the mountain, and extracted the origins of the Bodhi Tree and Bitter Bamboo.

That wasn't all. Hongyun immediately followed up, demolishing the dojos of Jieyin and Zhunti on Mount Sumeru. He said to Zhen Yuanzi, "We've torn down their dojos. Jieyin and Zhunti are probably going to go mad. Let's find them an opponent."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "Simple. Later, I'll use the Wood Law to transplant the Bodhi Tree to the Witch Clan. Its origin will also be useful to Jumang. Then, let Zhunti and Jumang fight over it."

Since they both cultivated the Wood Law, Zhen Yuanzi easily found where Jumang was. As soon as Ancestral Witch Jumang stepped out his door, he found a Bodhi Tree and took it home.

After doing all this, Zhen Yuanzi deliberately took Hongyun on a detour to find Zhunti and his group. He announced loudly, "Thank you, members of the Demon Race, for your assistance. Fellow Daoist Zhunti, leave Medicine Master to my wife for a lesson, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, everyone on your Mount Sumeru will stay here."

Zhunti was speechless and said, "Am I the kind of person who would abandon his disciple?"

Zhen Yuanzi laughed heartily and said, "Don't you know your own reputation? Huh? If you don't want to trouble Medicine Master, what benefits will you give me?"

Zhunti was momentarily speechless. He cupped his hands in a salute and said, "Brother Zhenyuan, I am willing to offer three Bodhi Seeds. How about it? They are all the roots of spiritual roots, and the Bodhi Seeds contain the origin of the Bodhi Tree, which could be useful to you."

Hongyun nodded and tugged at Zhenyuanzi's sleeve, saying, "Bodhi Seeds are beneficial for your cultivation. Let's go with that. Beating up Medicine Master will only vent your anger and nothing more."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said, "Fine, but it's not enough. Add thirty Bodhi leaves. Do you think I don't need to pay the Demon Race's royal elders for blocking you?"

Zhunti was speechless and said, "Great Immortal, this is a bit too much. You hired people to beat me, and you expect me to pay for the hired hands?"

Zhen Yuanzi said matter-of-factly, "Of course, you pay. If you don't want to pay, that's fine too. I don't care about those three Bodhi Seeds. Let's just fight."

Zhunti said helplessly, "Fine, I'll pay." As he spoke, he took out three Bodhi Seeds and thirty Bodhi leaves and looked at Taiyi, saying, "Should Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao let my senior brother go now?"

Taiyi nodded and transmitted a message to Xuanxiao, saying, "Zhunti has surrendered. He's giving out thirty Bodhi leaves for everyone to share. Stop beating Jieyin for now."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxiao returned with Jieyin in hand and said, "This time, don't go complaining to the Dao Ancestor that you were bullied, okay? I didn't do anything. I just shaved Jieyin's head."

Jieyin was speechless and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanxiao is right. Without hair, one has no form, which can reveal the true meaning of all phenomena being empty. I will not have hair from now on." As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Mount Sumeru disciples imitated Jieyin and shaved their heads.

Fairy Hongyun laughed heartily and said, "I'll give your Mount Sumeru dojo a plaque." With a wave of her hands, she condensed a plaque with cloud energy. The cloud patterns were clear, and the calligraphy was vigorous, with three large characters written on it: Gate of Baldness.

Xuanxiao and the others burst into laughter upon seeing this. "Alright, Zhunti, this plaque is good. It's made of innate cloud patterns. You can take it back and hang it yourselves." Then, he turned to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Let's go. Let's gather in the Heavenly Court and discuss how you should merge this Primordial Violet Qi."
