Bend the Bow and Slay an Innate with One Arrow
The Golden Great Sun streaked across the sky.
Right now, the priority is to escape.
Zhang Fusheng multitasked, simultaneously steer the golden ancient chariot and shift his focus to the Myriad Blades Divine Statue he shared a connection with, observing the eerie Peach Tree of Immortality.
He never dared to approach that place. Whenever a similar thought crossed his mind, his Innate Spiritual Sense would frantically warn him that there was great terror there—and it was indeed so!
"Miss Mingyue"
Zhang Fusheng lightly tapped the air with his five fingers, using Prayer Method to contact the Miss Mingyue, and hurriedly said:
"The Peach Tree of Immortality has come back to life!"
"Back to life? Young Master Zhang, please don't be hasty. What does 'back to life' mean?"
Questions arose in my ears.
"The literal meaning!"
Zhang Fusheng observed the Peach Tree of Immortality through the perspective of the statue. The eerie tree seemed to be awakened, and each peach branch pierced out a vortex like Divine Chain!
It didn't harm the people or things in the Land of Exotic Treasures —it seemed to disdain them.
Returning to his physical form, Zhang Fusheng looked back from his ancient chariot and saw dazzling Divine Chain shattering the heavens.
The other Innate Great Realm were also avoiding the situation and keeping their distance; no one else was pricked by the peach branches and drained of their life force.
He described what he had seen.
Something's not right.
The Miss Mingyue's deep voice came:
"The Peach Tree of Immortality is intentionally hunting—in conjunction with what you said, digging into Exotic Earth and losing its Essence, Qi, and Spirit, is probably also a way for it to replenish itself."
Are there any cracks in the tree trunk?
After observing from the perspective of the statue for a moment, Zhang Fusheng responded decisively:
"Yes! A crack splits from the tree crown all the way to the roots, revealing a deep, dark abyss that is impossible to see clearly!"
"Young Master Zhang, have you seen that injured and sleeping Celestial Person?"
"Never."
As they spoke, the Sky Patrol Chariot, as bright as the sun, drove into the lower-level city of Chongshan City within this Bubble Small World.
The ten-directional vortex originally appeared above Mangtou Mountain.
The voice of the Miss Mingyue came again:
"The Peach Tree of Immortality is clearly abnormal, perhaps related to some unknown events that occurred in the past, but it could never have developed its own will, no matter how powerful it is."
"It's highly likely that the Celestial Person being I crippled has merged into it and is attempting to take control of the Peach Tree of Immortality."
Zhang Fusheng's eyelids twitched, and then it dawned on him: a Celestial Person, plus the Immortal Peach Tree, no wonder killing a Xiantian cultivator was so easy!
Thankfully, I didn't personally approach the peach tree or the area South Heaven Gate!
He also observed from the perspective of a deity.
The branches of the Peach Tree of Immortality were still flailing wildly, thick black blood seeping from its trunk, and the South Heaven Gate stood askew beside it.
The plaque of the Miro Heavenly Palace is covered in dust on the sand.
As for the scroll depicting the Miss Mingyue?
The scroll hung on a branch, swaying slightly.
"That dying Celestial Person probably didn't fully control the Peach Tree of Immortality," the Miss Mingyue's voice came again. "Otherwise, he might possess Deity Level power."
After pausing for a moment, she continued:
"And judging from your description, Young Master Zhang, that Celestial Person being's mind may have also been briefly thrown into confusion—affected by the eerie influence of the Peach Tree of Immortality."
Zhang Fusheng nodded silently, noticing that the tree branch that pierced the vortex, resembling Divine Chain, had not strayed too far from the vortex, seemingly confined, which made him feel slightly relieved.
He rode Golden Ancient Chariot, hovering above Chongshan City.
Countless citizens in the city looked up in terror at the Golden Great Sun, but their expressions of fear gradually turned into blankness and tranquility.
"Young Master Zhang, do not go there again for the time being. If my guess is correct, you may reap a great fortune and Great Opportunity in the near future."
Zhang Fusheng's expression shifted, and he quietly asked himself:
"Please enlighten me, Miss Mingyue."
Wealth? fortuitous opportunity?
Amidst my doubts...
"Young Master Zhang, if my guess is correct, the Immortal Peach Tree has undergone a change, becoming demonic and abnormal. Celestial Person who rashly merges with it may become the 'tree spirit' of the Peach Tree of Immortality for a short time, and briefly control the tree."
"But the Rank/Status between him and it is far, far too great. He may be able to take the lead now, but in the long run..."
Zhang Fusheng seemed to be deep in thought, and quietly spoke:
"Does Miss Mingyue mean that, given enough time, the Peach Tree of Immortality might assimilate and devour that Celestial Person?"
"Young Master Zhang is right; the Peach Tree of Immortality could never have its own will."
"At that time, it will become ownerless again, and along with that foreign land, it will be taken into the Divine Realm by Young Master Zhang."
Hearing Miss Mingyue's words, Zhang Fusheng's eyes lit up slightly. A Peach Tree of Immortality?
That's truly Great Opportunity!
As for the strange transformation of the immortal tree, that's one thing; with the Eight Sceneries Palace there, he's not afraid of being unable to suppress it.
If others don't have enough Rank/Status, how could I not?
The voice of the Miss Mingyue rang out at the end:
"It all depends on how long this little Celestial Person can hold out, Young Master Zhang. I'll teach you another ancient technique; combined with this berserk Peach Tree of Immortality, it might have a miraculous effect."
A technique that isn't particularly profound is explained in a gentle and detailed manner.
Zhang Fusheng listened carefully and memorized it. This Divergent Method was not difficult; it was a kind of magical technique derived from a simplification of Divine Ability.
It's called the [Great Transport Art].
As the name suggests, its most basic application is teleporting and moving things.
For something more complex, you could leave the coordinates beforehand, or use landmarks.
Then, by using it, a mysterious portal was opened, allowing them to communicate with each other across a vast distance.
After expressing his sincere gratitude, Zhang Fusheng's fingers stopped twitching, and the connection that had come from his prayers was severed.
He turned his head, gazing at the peach tree branches emerging from the vortex, still tearing at the sky and earth, his eyes flickering slightly.
They planned to wait until the Peach Tree of Immortality, or rather the immortal residing in it, stopped going mad.
They left Teleportation Dao Mark next to the whirlpool in advance.
If you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, you can open the Mystic Gate and escape to this place—but what if the enemy follows you through the Mystic Gate?
Then don't blame him for using the principle of Karma Parallel to punch the Peach Tree of Immortality.
Then we'll see who runs faster.
"The person killed after the peach branch pierced out of the vortex seemed to be a high-level innate being who had opened six or seven Cave Heaven."
"They are the strongest among this group of the Innate Great Realm —this means that even though the Celestial Person in the Tree are beginning to lose their minds, they may still be intentionally hunting down the strongest."
Zhang Fusheng stared at the peach tree branch until it gradually retracted back into the Land of Exotic Treasures, and the peach tree in the statue's view returned to normal.
Divine thoughts surged forth, silently blooming with dazzling light in the void beneath the ten-directional vortex, leaving behind strange symbols and marking the Dao.
The dazzling light gradually faded.
He rubbed his slightly aching temples. This technique, while not as profound as the Divine Ability of expelling evil, still had its own set of difficulties.
It took some effort since it was my first time trying to carve it.
At this time.
Some of the innate beings who had fled far away looked back, gazing intently at the Golden Great Sun hanging high above Chongshan City.
As if sensing something, Zhang Fusheng also gazed in that direction, his divine sense tearing apart mountains, and his Qi and Blood flowed out like Great River!
A 600-mile-long Flame God Mountain loomed across the sky.
"Still harboring wicked thoughts." He sneered, knowing that even someone at the Innate Great Realm was still unwilling to give up and wanted to find the Land of Exotic Treasures from him.
Zhang Fusheng acted decisively.
The other Innate Great Realm chose to observe this time, as what had just happened was too shocking.
At this moment, they saw the innate being from a certain sect facing off against the Bull Demon King across thousands of miles.
The next instant.
On the ancient war chariot, the Bull Demon made no move; the vast river of Qi and Blood and qi had already surged away, accompanying the six-hundred-mile-long Flame God Mountain and the torn layers of rock.
It crashed down upon that cultivator at the Innate Great Realm!
The latter made a fierce move, with the Three Cave Heaven appearing and disappearing, emitting Immortal Light, and unleashing a powerful killing technique, struggling to contend with the six-hundred-mile- Flame Mountain!
The blazing sun scorched the earth, causing it to crack and radiate intense heat in all directions.
A brief stalemate ensued.
Lin Yusheng saw the Bull Demon raise its head and open its mouth, but it did not utter a moo.
Om!
The dazzling Buddha Light illuminated the heavens and the earth.
Bright.
Too bright.
Lin Yusheng subconsciously squinted, as did many other Innate Great Realm who were watching from afar.
In a daze, they saw a giant 'Om' syllable formed by Buddha Light sweeping across from the other side of heaven and earth, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to tear apart inch by inch in its path.
Then the collapsed mountains and shattered earth,
All accompanied by that syllable "Om".
The converging sand and gravel formed a spectacular, earth-shattering wave that crashed down with tremendous force!
The unknown innate color change revealed a Dharma image thousands of meters tall behind it, resembling a Bodhisattva—clearly a Divine Envoy from the Mandala System!
The one who was just killed by the peach tree branch cave was also a Divine Envoy of the Mandala System.
The six-hundred-mile -Flame Mountain pressed down upon the Bodhisattva's image. This primordial form revealed itself to be a great monk in black robes.
At this moment, he raised the Vajra Pestle high, and the earth and mountains beneath his feet also steamed up, resisting the huge 'Om' syllable!
"Amitabha!" The Bodhisattva's tongue blossomed like a lotus flower.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, Immortal Flower bloomed everywhere in the void, and the black-robed monk had somehow already sat seated on a lotus platform.
The Vajra Pestle trembled, and the power of heaven and earth, mixed with essence, energy, and spirit, twisted into a ferocious Buddha face hundreds of feet tall!
'Boom!'
The pitch-black, ferocious Buddha face clashed and remained locked in a stalemate with the dazzling radiance of the Om syllable.
"They actually stopped it?" Zhang Fusheng exclaimed in surprise. The syllable "Om" combined all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, equivalent to a strike delivered with all his might.
Moreover, his Mental Accumulation exceeds three thousand years!
Yet he was still intercepted by that Innate Great Realm had only awakened three Cave Heaven.
"Indeed, who among those who have reached the Innate Great Realm hasn't been a peerless genius?"
He gazed intently and saw the black-robed monk employing an unknown technique, his bodhisattva-like appearance merging with a ferocious Buddha-like face.
The illusory image of the six-hundred-mile -Flame God Mountain was torn apart, and in its place was an illusory Buddhist kingdom!
In the Buddhist realm, countless monks are chanting scriptures.
This is the divine realm of that black-robed monk.
"Amitabha."
The black-robed monk sighed, fighting for his life. His Vajra Pestle pierced the void and landed precisely in the center of the syllable 'Om,' causing the illusory Buddhist kingdom in the sky to resound.
The syllable "Om" is fragmented.
On the Golden Ancient Chariot, Wei Lingzhu stared in disbelief at this magnificent sight.
She gazed into the distance and saw a Buddhist kingdom stretching across the sky, where the earth seemed to tear open and rise up, merging with the enormous image of a Bodhisattva.
It then transformed into a Stone Buddha ten thousand meters tall!
One by one, the innate beings also watched this scene from afar. What happened next would determine whether they would step in, join the battle, and continue hunting down the bull demon.
The Stone Buddha opened its eyes.
The black-robed monk's angry roar echoed from the other side of the small world, resounding far and wide.
"You wicked beast, you murdered my elder brother! Today you will surely be imprisoned in the palm of Buddha's hand!"
He and that later deceased Innate Great Realm were actually brothers.
The Stone Buddha raised its giant hand.
The illusory Buddhist kingdom swayed, transforming into an incomparably dazzling light that covered the giant palm.
Before the palm even landed, merely pointing towards Chongshan City and the Golden Ancient Chariot, the immense power of heaven and earth swept over it!
The ancient chariot creaked and groaned.
Zhang Fusheng remained expressionless as he rose from his ancient chariot, drew his bow, and released the arrow, but no arrow was seen.
He closed his eyes, refusing to look at the enormous Stone Buddha, a complex mix of Buddhist images, that was gradually approaching.
Whether we can leave, whether we can escape, whether we will be hunted down—it all depends on this one arrow.
His thoughts returned to the Eight Sceneries Palace, and he sat upright on the futon.
The Nail Head Seven Arrows Book appeared in the Celestial Venerable's hand, and he gently stroked it.
Take advantage of their momentum.
When he opened his eyes again and gazed at the Buddha, Zhang Fusheng's divine bow already held a dazzling arrow.
He took a deep breath, stood tall on the Golden Ancient Chariot, and released his fingers that were hooking the strings.
'Collapse!'
A divine arrow was shot out.
Suddenly, heaven and earth fell silent, and all things lost their color.
Wei Lingzhu looked down and saw that her hands had turned black and white.
Seeing that all the colors of everything faded at this moment,
Everything became the simplest black and white.
The only visible colored light was from that dazzling divine arrow.
The divine arrow pierced through the Stone Buddha, through the Vajra Pestle, through layers of lotus flowers, and nailed to the brow of the black-robed monk.
Vibrant colors are once again reflected in the world.
The Stone Buddha collapsed into dust, the Vajra Pestle broke into two pieces, and the lotus flower that had blocked the monk's path withered into mud.
All eyes were fixed on the black-robed monk on the lotus platform—he sat upright, motionless, the lotus platform beneath him withered.
He also passed away.
Those who are naturally powerful leave without looking back, running as fast as they can.
