Kunlun Mountain, Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, a sacred land of immortals.
Jade Void Palace sat atop the immortal mountain, shrouded year-round in Jade Pure Immortal Light. No magic could penetrate it, and no evil spirit could approach.
Xiruan carried the Milk Bottle down to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
The moment she landed, immortal energy washed over her. She contentedly narrowed her eyes.
"Mmm, the air here smells so nice. It's much more fragrant than Daddy's Small Dark Room."
She nodded in satisfaction and spotted a grand palace hanging among the clouds. Its plaque read:
"Jade. Void. Palace."
"This is the place! That mean Second Uncle's home!"
Xiruan fixed on her target and charged up the mountain on her little legs. The moment she stepped onto the first white jade stair, a sudden change occurred!
Buzz—!
All of Kunlun Mountain shuddered. A golden curtain of light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire immortal mountain.
Countless profound Runes flowed across the light curtain. Immortal music rang out, and wisps of Auspicious Qi filled the air. A vast, overwhelming pressure descended in an instant, enough to make any Great Being below the Quasi-Saint realm tremble with fear and hesitate to approach.
The Chan Sect's Mountain-Guarding Grand Array had activated.
The sudden change startled Xiruan. She reached out and poked the golden light curtain.
"Hmph! They even installed a security door!"
She pouted unhappily, thinking even less of that mean Second Uncle.
It was bad enough that he'd borrowed money and refused to pay it back. Now he'd gone and put this stupid barrier around his house to keep people from coming in and demanding repayment. He was just too mean!
Inside Jade Void Palace, bells rang out loudly.
Guangchengzi gathered the remaining members of the Chan Sect in the palace square.
"What demon dares trespass on our sacred grounds and trigger the Mountain-Guarding Grand Array?"
Chijingzi, the most hot-tempered of them all, held up the Yin Yang Mirror and shouted furiously.
Guangchengzi furrowed his brows and sent a beam of divine light beyond the mountain gate. It transformed into a huge Water Mirror.
The Water Mirror clearly showed the scene at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone was stunned.
A little girl with her hair tied into two upright tufts, wearing a red bellyband and looking no older than three and a half, stood outside the array. She carried a strangely shaped bottle, and at her waist hung...
"Isn't that Junior Brother Taiyi's Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover?!"
Yuding Zhenren cried out in shock.
The immortals looked closely. Sure enough, hanging at the little girl's waist was Taiyi's Natal Treasure!
Jade Void Palace erupted into chaos.
"What happened? Didn't Junior Brother Taiyi go to Zixiao Palace to visit Martial Uncle Tongtian on Master's orders? Why is his treasure in that child's hands?"
"Where did that little girl come from?"
"Could it be... something happened to Junior Brother Taiyi?!"
Guangchengzi's expression changed. He recalled the alarming rumors that had recently reached them from the Heavenly Court.
They said a mysterious little girl had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court, smashed the Haotian Mirror, stripped the Peach Tree bare, and even emptied Taishang Shibo's Doushuai Palace...
At the time, they had dismissed it as a joke.
But now...
Looking at the innocent, cherubic little girl in the Water Mirror, Guangchengzi felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.
No way...
The rumors... were true?!
While the Chan Sect's immortals stared at one another in alarm, Xiruan had already grown impatient waiting outside the array.
"Hey! You people inside, listen up!"
She planted her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Open the door! I'm here to make your boss, Yuanshi, pay back his debt! If you don't open up, I'll smash it!"
Her childish voice rang clearly through the Chan Sect.
Come to demand repayment from their Master? And threatened to smash the Mountain-Guarding Grand Array?
The Chan Sect's immortals exchanged bewildered looks, their faces full of disbelief.
Was this little girl... crazy?
"Arrogant!" Chijingzi fumed. "A mere demon child dares to make such outrageous threats! I'll go capture her and find out who she really is!"
"Don't, Junior Brother!" Guangchengzi hurriedly stopped him, shaking his head with a grave expression. "This child is strange. Even Junior Brother Taiyi fell into her clutches. We mustn't act rashly. Let's rely on the array and see what she can do."
At the foot of the mountain, Xiruan shouted for a long while. The people inside not only refused to come out, but watched her as if she were a monkey performing tricks. Her short temper flared.
"Fine! You won't take the easy way, so you can take the hard way!" She picked up the Milk Bottle and hurled it at the golden light curtain. "Let's see if I can smash this stupid barrier to pieces!"
"Boom—!"
All of Kunlun Mountain shook violently. Rocks tumbled down the slopes, and startled cranes took flight.
The Chan Sect's immortals, who were maintaining the array, all spat out blood. The backlash sent them tumbling to the ground, their faces filled with shock.
W-what kind of power was that?! This made no sense!
With a single strike, she had nearly broken the array their Master had personally set up?!
Xiruan's hand tingled from the impact. She shook it and complained, "Huh? It's pretty tough."
She studied the light curtain carefully and, with the Milk Bottle's innate Break All Laws property, found a dim spot in the Mountain-Guarding Grand Array.
"Found it!" Xiruan's eyes lit up. "There's a mark here. It must be a weak point!"
She picked up the Milk Bottle again. "Break!"
The Milk Bottle struck the glowing spot with unerring precision!
Crack—!
The sound of shattering glass rang out.
Rumble—!
As every Chan Sect disciple watched in terror and despair, the Mountain-Guarding Grand Array that had protected Kunlun Mountain for billions of years... shattered.
Xiruan looked smug.
"Hmph, it didn't take much to break."
She looked at the servants sprawled across the square, staring in stunned disbelief, and called out in her childish voice:
"Hey! Where are the grown-ups in your house? Tell that mean Second Uncle called Yuanshi to come out and pay me back!"
