Ten in Total. Hand Them Over
Such a large group of powerful and magically Tongtian people gathered together were clearly not there to obtain the scriptures, but to eliminate the great demons or powerful beings along the journey.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, understood.
This so-called Journey to the West is nothing more than a cleanup operation for the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.
It could even be described as cleaning up the battlefield.
Those remaining powerful beings who are unruly, disobedient, and carefree will all be dealt with.
This is only the surface-level cleaning work.
The covert cleaning work is still ongoing.
The Western Teachings, with the full force of its religion, began to oppress the Ancestor Minghe.
Because the view from the sky had shifted to the Ancestor Minghe.
Beside the Endless Minghe Ancestor Minghe appeared a powerful being who called himself Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great vow. "I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied."
The key issue is that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not appear in hell, but instead appeared in the Netherworld Blood River.
They began chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist prayers daily beside the Netherworld Blood River.
Over time, many members of the Ashura Clan were actually converted by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and went to the West for the sake of Western Buddhism.
This was clearly unbearable for the Ancestor Minghe.
The Ancestor Minghe launched an attack in anger.
Unfortunately, this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva simply slipped away and ran away.
If the Ancestor Minghe were to venture deep into enemy territory alone, he would likely be besieged by many powerful Western Teachings.
If the Ancestor Minghe returns to the Netherworld Blood River, this so-called Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will also return to the banks of the Netherworld Blood River and begin to convert the Ashura Clan once again.
They actually added the so-called Ashura Division of the Eight Legions to Western Teachings.
This naturally infuriated the Ancestor Minghe.
He made several attempts to kill the so-called Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Unfortunately, that guy slipped away incredibly fast.
You advance, I retreat; you retreat, I advance; you attack, I defend; you tire, I harass—this guerrilla tactic has been brought to its extreme.
With the entire Western Teachings as their backing, the Ancestor Minghe was actually powerless against them.
Upon seeing this, even the expression on the face of Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, changed.
It's truly unbelievable that someone as powerful as the Ancestor Minghe would fall to such a state; it's simply unimaginable.
The view from the air changed once again.
It actually switched directly to him.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed drastically.
Keep in mind that his Wuzhuang Temple is located deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Unexpectedly, this so-called Journey to the West group ended up here after many twists and turns.
What does this mean? It's already quite obvious.
They came specifically for him, or rather, for his Ginseng Fruit Tree.
After a long period of contemplation, he finally decided to avoid seeing him.
Unfortunately, he never expected that the pilgrimage team would directly overturn his Ginseng Fruit Tree.
The Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, was thus destroyed.
Although forced by circumstances, True Person Cihang revived his Ginseng Fruit Tree.
However, the Ginseng Fruit Tree that had been uprooted was clearly different from what it used to be.
Upon seeing this, Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, couldn't help but have his eyes widen in fury.
I never imagined he would end up like this.
Those damned bastards, they all deserve to die!
There wasn't a single kind soul in the entire Primordial World.
This really annoyed him.
The mirror in the air finally disappeared at this point.
"Great Immortal Zhenyuan, what are your thoughts after seeing this?"
Great Immortal Zhenyuan's expression was naturally quite unpleasant.
I never imagined his future would turn out like this.
For countless years, he had never ventured into the Primordial World, nor had he ever offended anyone.
But those damned guys still wouldn't let him go.
Does he really want to turn himself into an ant? Will those guys let him go?
He never imagined he would fall to such a state, which was truly unbearable for him.
The face of Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, turned extremely ugly.
"Qingfeng and Mingyue!"
"Disciple is here!"
"You two go to the Ginseng Fruit Tree and bring back two ginseng roots. I need to entertain our distinguished guests!"
Both disciples were taken aback upon hearing this.
The teacher has actually become generous?
Ye Xuan's expression turned somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
"Great Immortal Zhenyuan, you're too stingy! I've traveled all this way to see you, and you only offer me a single Ginseng Fruit?"
Upon hearing the Human Emperor's words, Great Immortal Zhenyuan nearly tripped and fell to the ground.
He truly hadn't expected the Human Emperor to say such a thing.
Why does it get more and more infuriating the more I listen to it?
He's already been very generous, okay?
In all these countless years, apart from Saint, he has never treated anyone with such hospitality as a Ginseng Fruit.
He's already treated the Human Emperor to a Ginseng Fruit, a lavish honor, yet this guy still complains it's too stingy?
"Fellow Daoist is joking. This Ginseng Fruit has been brewing for countless years before finally taking shape."
"It took this nascent form nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years to mature, so it's obviously very difficult for it to come together into a spiritual fruit."
"Being able to eat even one on a normal day is already a blessing."
"Whenever the fruit ripens, many powerful beings come to ask for it, and it is also prepared for the Saint. Therefore, even I, a humble Daoist, consume very little of it."
The saying that Zhen Yuanzi Ancestor of Earth Immortals is indeed true.
Only thirty-three fruits ripen each time. If the rudimentary forms of those spiritual fruits are insufficient, it will be a long time before any spiritual fruits ripen.
He himself could only eat a few, so to offer one to a guest was already quite generous.
Ye Xuan was indeed not satisfied.
"We're all allies now, why are you being so stingy? Would it kill you to give me one more?"
"Besides, you don't need to prepare anything for those people anymore. They're all ruthless bastards who will devour you without a trace. Preparing anything for them is like throwing meat buns to a dog—it's gone forever."
Wouldn't it be better to save all that money for ourselves later?
"I'll name a number, and you'd better have someone call it right away!"
Ye Xuan patted the table as he spoke.
"Not one more, not one less, a full ten! Bring them over quickly, I want to try them."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals' expression changed drastically. Ten pills? That's outrageous! Absolutely shameless!
Looking at the trembling Great Immortal Zhenyuan, Ye Xuan couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
"Alright, why make that face? I know you still have plenty of stockpiled goods."
"I'm only asking you for ten, why are you looking so gloomy?"
"I'm not taking it back for myself; I'm sharing it with other powerful beings."
"The powerful beings of the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan might also need to be distributed among the Ancestor Minghe and others; these ten are simply not enough."
"Wouldn't it make you lose face if they complained that you were too stingy?"
