Running Toward Spirit Mountain

"Yes, I serve as an official in the Great Han Dynasty of the Southern Jambudvipa Continent; I am a Gentleman Attendant in the Imperial Court!"

In the somewhat dimly lit secret place, Laojun with both hands, and then casually asked Zhang Xuezhou a few questions.

Zhang Xuezhou was also very cooperative and kept a close eye on the Investiture of the Gods.

If Huo Qubing were to intrude upon the Investiture of the Gods here, he would most likely sense that the golden runes on the Investiture of the Gods were loosening.

Zhang Xuezhou had very high requirements for the Investiture of the Gods. He said that the need to conceal it was not just a simple matter, but rather that the Investiture of the Gods needed to be opened without others being able to see it.

He wasn't sure if he could deceive Hongjun, nor was he sure about the outcome, but after all this trouble, he would be unwilling to give up without trying.

Who is your opponent?

"A powerful cultivator named Donghua recently wanted to give Zhunti and Jieyin two blows!"

"I've never heard of Donghua, but Zhunti and Jieyin could easily take a couple of blows from him. They wouldn't be wronged no matter how they get hit!"

Laojun had no deep-seated hatred for the two Western religious leaders; it was simply that he had been inadvertently trapped by them, and the two wanted to obtain the information from him, thus leading to a protracted entanglement.

Although they hadn't reached the point of facing each other in life or death, it's impossible to say he didn't harbor some resentment.

Laojun, though unaware of Donghua's identity, strongly supported teaching these two leaders a lesson.

He then applied two more spells to the unsealed Investiture of the Gods before handing it over to Zhang Xuezhou.

"This item seals away some immortal demon souls; only time can erase them. You must return it after you've used it, lest it cause a great disaster and lead to widespread death!"

"No problem!"

With the unsealed Investiture of the Gods scroll carefully wrapped up, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

If he hadn't failed to kill Donghua in one fell swoop a few days ago, he would have almost solved most of the problems.

Of course, he'll be out of trouble very soon.

If he successfully pushes the Void Heaven Palace to break free from his divine soul, he will be considered half a free man. Even if Donghua finds the origin of the world and becomes invincible like the Demon Lord Hu Yu, the Three Realms are ultimately not the real world, and the opponents here are not easy for Donghua to deal with.

"Thank you for your help. I will definitely come to thank you after I have resolved this problem!"

"You have shown me the kindness of letting me leave Mount Milu, and I am helping you to repay that kindness. There is no need for thanks between us!"

Zhang Xuezhou was very polite, while Laojun Junshu Qingshen was someone who didn't owe anyone favors and quickly repaid them after figuring out the situation.

"He was an official of the Great Han Dynasty. Are officials in modern dynasties really that powerful?"

Watching Zhang Xuezhou leave, Laojun Shuqing sighed, feeling that time seemed to stand still in the mountains, and that he could hardly adapt to the outside world when he came out.

He reached out and cast a spell, and the stone door at the cave entrance condensed and sealed again, resealing the Spiritual Qi of this secret place.

Zhang Xuezhou is right. As long as he relies on Spiritual Qi to cleanse and nourish his body over the years, his body will surely return to normal.

This secret realm was countless times better than the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, but to him it was just another prison.

Occasionally, he would think about the fortuitous opportunity to transcend the ordinary and attain sainthood, and also about Zhang Xuezhou, who showed magnanimity towards the origin of the Three Realms realms.

"If I had been more magnanimous and yielded to Li Xuan back then, I should have already reached the pinnacle of cultivation and stepped into the starry sky after leaving Hangu Pass to the west, instead of prolonging my life in this dark and sunless place!"

He finally sighed and stopped worrying about the outside world.

Outside the cave stood Zhang Xuezhou, his face beaming with excitement. Carrying the Investiture of the Gods on his back, he felt that everything was ready, and he was just waiting to use the Void Heaven Palace to suppress the Demon Lord Hu Yu in reality.

If Nezha manages to break free from control due to chaos, the Void Heaven Palace will let him go. However, with his ability to evade mental manipulation by achieving sainthood through his physical body, Nezha has a high probability of avoiding attacks from Houtu and Hongjun.

"Since their physical bodies cannot come, they only have the ability to attack with their souls and manipulate Law Treasure. Not to mention that Nezha can avoid the influence, even if they wanted to attack the physical body, they wouldn't be able to. In the future, when I encounter Hongjun, I will have a reason to do so!"

After careful consideration, Zhang Xuezhou felt this would be his Gao Sheng of winning.

He calculated the time and felt that the end was fast approaching.

"Zhang Shengzi, are we heading towards Mount Ling now?"

Standing behind the Sky Shuttle, Brahma's heart pounded with anxiety.

Everything he usually took pride in was just a casual arrangement by others, which truly saddened Brahma, and he also feared being regarded as a clown by the two leaders, Jieyin and Zhunti.

"I have two friends who should have arrived at Lingshan," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I'll take you to meet them then, so you don't get beaten to death. But you have to cooperate with whatever they need!"

"We will definitely cooperate to the best of our ability!"

"You've expressed 'within your capabilities' quite well!"

Zhang Xuezhou made a couple of jokes about Brahma, who responded with an awkward laugh and then fell silent.

In short, the life-and-death struggles were done by others; they were just taking the opportunity to gain some advantages, avoiding hostility from the Immortal Court and Kunlun while gaining the favor of the two leaders.

"Li Shaojun, you've gone to grab a bargain!"

When Zhang Xuezhou returned to Lingxi Cave, he saw that there were indeed three rhinoceros demons at the cave entrance.

This kind of demon is somewhat lacking in fighting ability, but it is first-rate as a mount.

It's clear that Vishnu is quite eloquent, and Buddha Son Shigong is extremely decisive. Knowing that someone is opposing him, he wants to return to Mount Sumeru and has even prepared his mount.

Zhang Xuezhou shouted to Li Shaojun, and Li Shaojun immediately took to the Yufeng.

"Are we really going to get a bargain?" Li Shaojun asked.

"I'll introduce you to some friends in the Immortal Court, and I guarantee you'll be given important positions and get some good deals!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted Li Shaojun on the shoulder, indicating that Li Shaojun's fearless ability was very valuable, and that if he could just show off a little, it wouldn't be difficult for him to gain an advantage.

"No, no, you can't encourage me to die! I'm really scared of dying!"

"'Bai's' mind has been clouded and sealed away; you and I are both free!"

Zhang Xuezhou's favoritism can still be used, and Li Shaojun's ability to be resurrected will also work normally.

Although it's not easy to try this, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Li Shaojun could take a chance. If he could make some contributions, he might be able to enter the Immortal Court and even receive the elixir of Immortality Elixir as a reward.

As for whether the Immortality Elixir has any hidden dangers, that's not a problem; at worst, Li Shaojun can just die and that will solve the problem.

He told Li Shaojun about Bai's fate, which made Li Shaojun's face show both joy and surprise.

Li Shaojun was pleased that he was no longer restrained, but worried about whether his abilities would still be effective.

The ability to come back from the dead is something that can be easily tested and result in death. Li Shaojun believed in Zhang Xuezhou's theory, but it was hard to say whether reality matched the theory. When such an attempt involved himself, it would undoubtedly be fatal.

But the bait Zhang Xuezhou threw out quickly led him astray.

He's getting on in years; he might live another twenty or thirty years at most. If he dies, so be it. But if he survives and makes a name for himself in the Immortal Court to obtain the Immortality Elixir, he'll ascend to heaven in one step.

Li Shaojun thought it was worth taking a gamble.
