West Phoenix Mountain

"Hmph! What do you know! This venerable one is addicted, get out of the way quickly."

The woman behind Chen Tong frowned slightly, but thinking that this evil dragon seemed to be related to the man in front of him, her expression gradually relaxed.

"Stupid dragon, scram back to the Sea of Consciousness." Chen Tong let out a low growl, his divine sense moved, and regardless of whether the Death Underworld Dragon was willing or not, it was taken away.

"Kid, you've gone too far! When you need this venerable one, you throw me out like trash. When you don't need me, you throw me back like trash. What do you take this venerable one for!"

An angry voice came from the Sea of Consciousness. Chen Tong replied indifferently, "You're wrong, I never intended to throw trash back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent shaking sound of "boom! boom!" echoed from the Sea of Consciousness, causing his soul to tremble with pain.

"What's wrong?"

Bing Yu's gentle voice sounded in his ear, directly reaching his soul. The original trembling actually subsided with a trace of peace.

"N-nothing!"

Chen Tong turned around. It was only now that he truly felt the beauty and coldness of the woman at such close range. Her intoxicating face, which made one want to possess her at a glance, beat against his heart like a drum.

"That... you can go!" Chen Tong struggled for a long time, only to utter this sentence that he already regretted.

Fairy Bing Lin: "..."

"I know I've disturbed you, please forgive me." Her icy shadow-like figure bowed slightly to Chen Tong.

Chen Tong: "..."

"So you discovered me here long ago?" Chen Tong looked at her in astonishment. To know that the other party was just a True Immortal, how could she have discovered him! But if he didn't believe it, he didn't know how to explain all this.

"No!" She shook her head, then turned sideways and said in a low voice, "My intuition tells me that this is a place where I can feel at ease. I didn't know where this feeling came from until you appeared."

Chen Tong glanced at her profile, unable to discern any emotion, and muttered, "Women's intuition is truly terrifying."

"What are you saying?" Bing Lin turned her pretty face, with a hint of confusion, to look at Chen Tong. Chen Tong quickly shook his head, deliberately avoiding her enchanting face, "I'm saying you're really beautiful."

Bing Lin: "??"

Seeing that her cold expression was not right, Chen Tong thought she had misunderstood him and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying you're beautiful with any improper thoughts. I'm saying you're beautiful from the bottom of my heart, the kind of beauty that makes me willing to protect you with my life."

"Hypocritical man!"

A cold voice suddenly rang out from the Sea of Consciousness, making Chen Tong's soul tremble again. He could only face her with a foolish smile.

Seeing Chen Tong's strange demeanor, Bing Lin looked at him with confusion, took a deep look at him, then turned sideways and said softly, "Appearance is just a useless skin! Yet it has brought me endless trouble. You saw what just happened. If possible, I would prefer to be ordinary."

"Damn it, what kind of talk is this! Pride's capital!" Chen Tong complained inwardly, but outwardly he chuckled and said, "Fairy's beauty is the favor of heaven, the love of angels, a treasure of the world, and even more so, the treasure of your future beloved. Please, Fairy, do not belittle yourself."

Bing Lin let out a light laugh. Although her voice was soft and lacked emotion, to Chen Tong, it sounded like celestial music, as pleasant as it could be.

"Young Master saved Bing Lin from danger, and before Bing Lin could express her gratitude, Young Master has comforted me time and again. Bing Lin is immensely grateful, and my joy is within my heart! If Young Master does not mind, please call me Bing Lin!"

"Bing Lin!" Chen Tong murmured, then said, "Good! My name is Chen Tong."

"So it's Young Master Chen!" Bing Lin bowed again, and said gently, "Bing Lin has one thing she wishes to ask of Young Master Chen, and hopes Young Master Chen will agree."

Chen Tong: "??"

"We're not even close yet, and you're already asking for something. This is too impolite!" Chen Tong grumbled inwardly. He didn't want to cause trouble right now and needed to conserve his strength to deal with Tathagata and the Heavenly Court.

"That... that... that, go ahead and say it!" Chen Tong ultimately couldn't refuse without backbone. After all, she was a girl, and her pitiful appearance made it impossible to refuse.

"It's like this, Bing Lin has a younger sister who is trapped on West Phoenix Mountain. Bing Lin's strength is too low to rescue her. I hope Young Master can lend a hand. Bing Lin will be eternally grateful."

"How do you know I can save her?" Looking at her bowing figure, Chen Tong didn't reach out to help her. Instead, he retorted. After all, saving people was too complicated. What if the opponent was someone he couldn't defeat? And this West Phoenix Mountain, wouldn't it be another of Tathagata's territories in the West!

"You were able to defeat those three Grand Unity Golden Immortals, so you must have the ability to save my sister."

Chen Tong's expression twitched. It wasn't him who defeated those three Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but... alas, forget it.

"Alright! I promise you."

Bing Lin's expression brightened, and a rare blush appeared on her usually icy face.

"Thank you, Young Master."

"Don't call me Young Master, I'm not used to that title," Chen Tong said dismissively.

"This...!" Bing Lin was stunned, then struggled for three seconds: "Then... then I'll call you Brother Chen!"

"Brother?" Chen Tong's expression turned strange. You're probably thousands of years older than me, yet you call me brother!

"Let me ask you, how many years have you been cultivating the immortal path?" Chen Tong suddenly asked an unrelated question.

Bing Lin was stunned again but answered honestly, "Since Bing Lin joined the immortal sect, ascended to the immortal realm, and cultivated to this day, it has been thirty thousand years."

Chen Tong's soul trembled noticeably, and the skin on his face twitched uncontrollably! "Then you should just call me by my name."

"Right, you said you ascended from the lower realm just now?" Chen Tong asked curiously.

"Yes!"

"Oh, oh!" Chen Tong didn't find this strange. After all, the vast chaos, how immense it was, and this world was just a corner of it.

As they spoke, the two were already heading towards West Phoenix Mountain. West Phoenix Mountain is located on the western edge of the West Niu He Continent, forming a border with the eastern part of the East Victory Divine Continent. Although both continents occupied half the land, the entire West Phoenix Mountain region believed in Buddhism, which had invisibly formed the territory of Spiritual Mountain.

Sitting on a colorful cloud, an icy shadow accompanies the cloud lord, looking down at the realm below, coming and going like emptiness.

"Hmph, it seems I didn't guess wrong. This place is indeed Old Thief Tathagata's territory," Chen Tong said coldly, looking at the countless temples below where people were burning incense and worshipping Buddha.

"Although West Phoenix Mountain lies at the border of two continents, due to the Buddhist propagation and influence over the years, this land is practically Buddhist territory," Bing Lin explained indifferently, not understanding the hatred in Chen Tong's words.

Chen Tong didn't know West Phoenix Mountain's bottom line, but his Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation had already made it clear to him that there was at least one Great Unity level or higher deity here, and their strength seemed considerable.

"Bing Lin, do you know which deity or Buddha is holding your sister captive?"

Bing Lin's face was cold. Though she appeared calm and emotionless, a murderous intent flickered beneath her beautiful eyes, which Chen Tong's divine sense couldn't miss.

"I only know they are two Buddhist followers called Yellow Eyebrow Rat Wolf."
