Disciple Qi WuHuo requests that Dao Ancestor come out of seclusion! (Third update; please vote for the monthly ticket)

Qi WuHuo left Great Luo Heaven, where Dao Ancestor resided, and flew above the celestial palace, treading on clouds and rosy mists. The sea of clouds rolled peacefully beneath him. Since most of the Immortals and Gods had gone to the Peach Banquet, the heavens were nearly empty, with scarcely anyone around. It was quiet and carefree.

Qi WuHuo's mind was calm as he considered what he should do next.

In his right palm, the Lotus Seed he had obtained after clashing once with Buddha beneath the Bodhi Tree flickered in and out of existence, emitting wisps of Imperial Prenatal Qi. At the same time, the power representing his Taiyi Cultivation Body circled in his palm.

Taiyi and Buddha—their two powers intertwined, giving rise to layer upon layer of change.

Qi WuHuo recalled the Buddha he had seen in that vision earlier, and the words he had spoken to him while he was transformed into Taiyi:

You've come?

Qi WuHuo had never met Buddha before. Those words had been addressed to Taiyi. Could Buddha and Taiyi God have had some sort of agreement? Or perhaps the practitioners of the seventeen Buddhist lineages had grown ever more extreme and obstinate in recent times. Thinking about these matters now, he felt there might be something amiss.

Lost in thought, Qi WuHuo unknowingly arrived before Soaring Heavens Palace. He paused at the sight of the great hall nestled among the clouds, then chose to fly inside. The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals guarding the palace hurriedly opened the doors for True Martial Demon Queller Great Emperor. Qi WuHuo entered and found Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu was delighted and surprised to see him.

He invited Qi WuHuo inside, laid out immortal tea and spiritual fruits, then said with a smile, "You're a true friend, WuHuo.
