Entering Kunlun
The Goddess Gushe was once a member of the ancient Heavenly Court and possessed extremely strong abilities. However, due to limitations in the places where she could unleash her power, she remained unknown among many top-tier cultivators.
But once they step into the other party's home turf, the other party becomes a nightmare for many cultivators.
Zhang Xuezhou and others personally experienced the weakened power of the chips and had no objections to it.
The goddess Gushe, who is skilled in ice and snow magic, possesses many things related to ice and snow, which are not something ordinary people can use.
Having witnessed the crystal jade bottle that held the wind and snow, and then the Ice Soul, Zhang Xuezhou and his companions finally visited the training grounds of the female demon Parvati.
It was a deep blue mountain, from which a faint, icy Spiritual Qi emanated.
Cultivating in such an area year-round undoubtedly provides a significant advantage in terms of 'geographical' resources, which makes the female demon stronger than Zhang Xuezhou and the Buddha Son Shigong.
"Unfortunately, our bodies can't withstand this kind of cold!"
Zhang Xuezhou stayed in the Demon Cultivator ground for a short while before getting up.
He was clad in Heavenly Robe, impervious to heat and cold, and possessed numerous evasion techniques, but Zhang Xuezhou still couldn't live in such a place for long.
"The environment here is actually no less than that of our Mount Ling," the Buddha Son Shigong said regretfully. "Especially since the extreme cold here is extremely suitable for great cultivators skilled in ice and snow arts; they can achieve twice the results with half the effort in their cultivation here!"
"That's right!"
He found the clothes that had frozen solid and went back to wear them, and the Buddha Son Shigong was able to communicate with Zhang Xuezhou more naturally.
Parvati was naive, and through some questioning, the two managed to extract all of what the other possessed.
After fully understanding Parvati's background, the Buddha Son Shigong no longer had any resistance to the marriage.
After all, Parvati is a descendant of the Heavenly Court, possessing excellent demon bloodline, and is not some wild demon. Moreover, she has received a formal education, is powerful, and has a simple mind.
Most importantly, Parvati was indeed very beautiful, which almost completely dispelled the unhappiness in the heart of the Buddha Son Shigong, and they eventually became husband and wife with some hesitation.
Of course, Parvati is a little stronger, but Zhang Xuezhou is right, this is not Parvati's problem, but the problem of the Buddha Son Shigong.
"Therefore, my husband, I am now going to Western Kunlun to cultivate my body to become stronger, so that we can be a stable couple!"
Parvati was extremely attached to Buddha Son Shigong, and fantasized about having children with Buddha Son Shigong in this cave and living out her life together. However, what Buddha Son Shigong said was true; Parvati's body was indeed a little weak.
Watching the Buddha Son Shigong pat his muscular body and muster his fighting spirit, the female demon couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
"If I become the leader of the Western Sect after I am strong enough, we can live in an even better place. It's a whole secret place where we can use glass bottles to create ice and snow peaks," the Buddha Son Shigong boasted.
"I can't wait!"
The succubus had an expectant expression, but when Zhang Xuezhou and the others were about to set off, she was still reluctant to leave and followed behind.
Even though time has passed, the concept of rules remains deeply ingrained in people's minds. Without the summons of the Heavenly Court, the female demon would not dare to step into the Kunlun Sacred Land, but this does not prevent the other party from waiting far away in the Kunlun Sacred Land.
After some discussion, the team, which originally consisted of two people, inexplicably gained another member.
The addition of Parvati did not bring any trouble. In fact, the Buddha Son Shigong, became much more restrained as a result, refraining from fighting and killing demon kings along the way to refine their blood essence, so as not to arouse the banshees' taboos and malice.
"Brother, take it easy. You've already gained a gourd's blood essence without even entering the Sacred Land, plus a glass jade bottle and an ice soul as dowry, and you've also won a beautiful and powerful wife. This is a top-tier fortuitous opportunity anywhere!"
Zhang Xuezhou and his companions rode their horses through the mountains, while the female demon soared through the air, riding the wind and snow.
Seeing the gloomy face of the Buddha Son Shigong who had finally regained his freedom and was starting his journey again, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but offer him repeated words of advice.
"Your fortune is currently flourishing. If you enter the Sacred Land, you will definitely have incredible luck and good fortune," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Thank you for your kind words," the Buddha Son Shigong replied solemnly.
"You seem to have something on your mind?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously. "Did you break off your engagement?"
"No," said the Buddha Son Shigong, "I just want to know just how strong my body needs to be to withstand Parvati's ravages!"
Is she really that fierce?
"She's a beast! You'll see!"
"No, this is your newlywed wife, not mine!"
The Buddha Son Shigong looked gloomy.
He had already left that cave that had haunted him for the rest of his life, but the thought of that night, a night worse than death, still filled him with indescribable feelings.
Especially since the female demon became his wife, this kind of life was likely to be repeated, which also placed extremely high demands on the physical body of the Buddha Son Shigong.
"Damn it, Buddha and she are a perfect match," the Buddha Son Shigong muttered.
"If you really let the Buddha's disciple succeed, I'm afraid you'll never be able to turn your life around in the Western Sect!"
"That's true!"
After reciting a few words, the Buddha Son Shigong finally felt somewhat relieved, but then, with a blank expression, he continued to whip his horse and gallop away.
Fundamentally, the Buddha Son Shigong felt that everything he had encountered was fortuitous opportunity, but the physical pain and the sense of shame he endured made him feel uneasy.
This conflicting feeling lasted for a long time.
It wasn't until nearly three days later that he felt a sense of relief.
We've arrived!
When the Buddha Son Shigong pointed, Zhang Xuezhou felt a familiar memory flood his mind; this landscape overlapped with a place where he had first arrived in the Mount Kunlun.
Without the guidance of the Buddha Son Shigong, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would most likely not have been able to find it even if he flew over this area.
"This arduous journey is finally over!"
He murmured to himself, feeling that his journey, which had lasted for nearly a month, was coming to an end, and he had finally arrived at the Western Kunlun, tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Han Dynasty.
Of course, his return to the Great Han Dynasty is another story, which may have been another journey of unknown length.
"Is this Sacred Land accessible year-round?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"I've heard that this Sacred Land is rarely inaccessible; it almost overlaps with our continent, which necessitates the use of a large array for concealment," said the Buddha Son Shigong, happily. "I've guided you for half a month; now it's your turn to guide me!"
"No problem, just follow behind me and keep up with me. I don't remember the way outside, but I know the way inside!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded and patted his chest in assurance, which made Buddha Son Shigong even more eager to go. He felt that he would definitely be better at looting in Western Kunlun than Zhang Xuezhou, and might even be able to find many treasures left behind by great gods.
If he had just one or two items that suited his needs, the Buddha Son Shigong felt he could become a tyrant who could kill gods and Buddhas alike.
"Let's go, let's walk around that ancient tree on the hillside a few times, and then we'll enter the Sacred Land!"
The Buddha Son Shigong took two bites of the cold lamb leg, then tossed the rather meatless piece of lamb leg further away.
He dismounted and galloped toward the entrance.
After running more than a hundred meters, he waved to Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou then floated up unsteadily.
Why didn't he use the Technique Within the Clouds?
Far behind, not daring to step into the entrance area of Kunlun Sacred Land, Parvati watched the Buddha Son Shigong rushing away, and then looked at Zhang Xuezhou was slowly moving forward on the wind and waves. She found it difficult to understand Zhang Xuezhou's choice of flying.
"Dongfang Shuo was wearing the Heavenly Robe of the Brocade Palace. He seemed to be from the Sacred Land, yet he didn't even recognize the roads Sacred Land. This seemed so strange. The Goddess of Gusha once said that the perfect match I was waiting for was a Holy Son. Once things were settled, I could use his status as a Holy Son to return to the Kunlun Sacred Land and break the Oath Incantation. How come it turned out to be a Buddhist son? I... I'll have to go through the wedding ceremony. Oh well, a Buddhist son is fine. After all, being a Buddhist son isn't so bad!"
Far behind, Parvati, dressed in white, watched intently for a long time.
She only looked away after the two figures had circled in front of an ancient willow tree and finally disappeared from sight.
The white dress eventually turned into the green of grass and trees, concealing her body.
