Demonic Chaos

Yuanshi Tianzun understood Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation and strength, while the Jade Emperor understood Zhang Xuezhou's character.

If there was any cultivator on Mount Ling who was likely to cause a major incident, the Jade Emperor believed it would be none other than Zhang Xuezhou.

The Yuanshi Celestial Lord bestowed upon Zhang Xuezhou Law Treasure to compensate for his shortcomings in strength, and the Divine Lord Zhenyuan by his side further emboldened him to cause trouble. The Jade Emperor did not believe that Zhang Xuezhou, with such resources, would not cause any trouble.

The Jade Emperor simply hadn't expected Zhang Xuezhou to offend someone of the caliber of Houtu Niangniang.

Perhaps it's the fearlessness of youth, or the recklessness of ignorance, but Zhang Xuezhou is very likely plotting to seize the resources that Houtu Niangniang was preparing to enhance her demonic body.

Having deduced the events and the people involved, the Jade Emperor's investigation became significantly easier.

He couldn't find Houtu Niangniang, but it would be much easier for the Jade Emperor to find Zhang Xuezhou and Divine Lord Zhenyuan. He could even get the general direction with just a simple inquiry.

"I've never seen Divine Lord Zhenyuan!"

"Buddha's disciple... I don't know if the Tathagata Buddha's disciple has gone to the back mountain; perhaps the Buddha Son Shigong knows better!"

After asking Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva a few simple questions, the Jade Emperor turned his gaze to the Buddha Son Shigong.

The opponent knows the opponent best and is most aware of the opponent's location.

With just a simple inventory of the people present, the Jade Emperor could tell who the key figure was.

While Buddha Son Shigong's reputation in the Three Realms is not prominent, he is an outstanding young cultivator, someone that cultivators within the last hundred years can only look up to. He is also a key disciple being cultivated by the Western Sect.

Western Sect have always followed a nurturing-style development approach, with multiple Buddhist disciples existing within the sect at the same time.

Among these Buddhist disciples, the most outstanding ones will be selected. The two leaders of the Western Sect have both mentioned that the successor of their sects is among these Buddhist disciples.

This makes the competition among the Western Sect followers extremely fierce.

For example, the Buddha Baozhuang, who attacked Divine Lord Zhenyuan Milu, was once one of them, but had to withdraw in disappointment to save his life, and eventually became a core member of the Western Sect.

Those familiar with the Buddha's disciple were bound to be rivals, and the Buddha Son Shigong had escaped not too far away.

"They might be at the end of the Bifeng Cave in the back mountains!"

The Buddha Son Shigong, confessed very readily.

Knowing that the Sect Master Jieyin might also be killed, he really needed to show his face and curry favor at the top of the Three Realms, lest the forces he led be treated like children playing house in the future.

Besides revealing the possible whereabouts of Zhang Xuezhou and others, Buddha Son Shigong undoubtedly also hoped to get a share of the spoils.

He saw the ginseng that Yuanshi Tianzun had cast down grow vigorously, multiplying into a vast expanse in a short period of time.

Without needing to overthink it, Buddha Son Shigong believes this situation is somewhat related to the Sect Master Jieyin was born in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Reincarnation is rare, but what is even rarer is that the Sect Master Jieyin was able to return to his peak strength after his physical body was reborn, and even regain his former strength in a short period of time.

Buddha Son Shigong didn't explicitly say he wanted to greatly increase his strength and enter the top ranks of the Three Realms, he genuinely wanted to repair his physical body.

After explaining everything clearly, he watched as the Jade Emperor flew towards the back mountain and quickly followed below.

The collapse in the area where the Eight Treasures Merit Pool is located ended earlier, but the collapse in the back mountain has not ended yet.

The area lacked trees and soil, and the landslide triggered a massive tumble of rocks.

Without the ability to leap and bound, patrolling the back mountain would be extremely difficult.

Damn it!

As the Buddha Son Shigong approached, dodging several boulders half a person's height, he saw a row of falling rocks rushing down like a flood. He had no choice but to turn and flee the area.

Parvati!

After repeatedly shouting, the Buddha Son Shigong saw Parvati and Brahma, who had taken refuge near the back mountain, approaching.

"And Vishnu?" asked the Buddha Son Shigong.

"He might still be trapped in the Wind Cave!"

Brahma responded, and the Buddha Son Shigong quickly summoned Parvati, and they rose up in a whirlwind, chasing after the Jade Emperor and the others.

"Could it be that the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, and there's fortuitous opportunity in the back mountain?"

Bharadvaja believed that Buddha Son Shigong had feelings for Vishnu, but these feelings were not strong enough to warrant risking one's life for him. Not only Buddha Son Shigong had such feelings, but Bharadvaja himself felt the same way.

He didn't think Vishnu was worth risking his Buddha Son Shigong to save, but the Buddha Son Shigong was very effective in winning over the sect's monks. Several apprehensive monks had a very clear sense of admiration for the Buddha Son Shigong.

Although he knew that a great fortuitous opportunity might have arisen in the Spirit Silk Secret Land, Brahma could only sigh in vain, lacking the ability to intervene.

"That Daoist priest and Zhang Shengzi..."

Brahma thought about the monks who were qualified to participate, and couldn't help but feel resentful, thinking that being able to fly was truly a great ability.

Many cultivators possess the ability to levitate, but only those with top-tier flying skills can move freely in this terrible environment filled with falling rocks and stones.

Brahma felt that Parvati's flying ability might still be a bit lacking, and with the burden of the Buddha Son Shigong, the two of them would most likely lack the qualifications for the fortuitous opportunity. However, it wouldn't be a problem for them to just watch from a distance.

Having already judged the outcome in his heart, Brahma knew there was little hope left.

He called out to the crowd to head to the refuge, and waited for the chaos at Lingshan to end.

As long as they can survive this turmoil, they may not reap the rewards of victory, but at least they won't suffer too much.

Compared to the radicalism of the Buddha Son Shigong, Brahma was indeed very conservative and believed that only tangible benefits were real.

He led the group along the road in search of a safe place to stay, while the Buddha Son Shigong, relying on Parvati, swept through the icy winds and soared into the air, continuing to move towards the swirling dust.

Occasionally, he could also see huge bolts of lightning exploding nearby, temporarily illuminating this indistinct area.

"Fire!"

When he pointed towards the center of his forehead, a red light appeared behind the head of the Buddha Son Shigong, and a circle of flames slowly rose, illuminating the surrounding area that had once again fallen into chaos.

"Parvati, don't rush, take your time. His Majesty the Jade Emperor won't be able to track him down quickly in this area. We'll definitely find him!"

In addition to his own participation and cooperation, the Buddha Son Shigong also tried his best to comfort Parvati.

"If we can just pull through, our bodies might recover completely. Even if we don't get the fortuitous opportunity, we'll never be controlled by anyone again!"

The Buddha Son Shigong made the best-case scenario plan, and he also made the worst-case scenario plan.

Of course, no matter how bad their plans were, Buddha Son Shigong was well aware that they would be in charge of the Western Sect in the future.

Buddhist disciples have attained a very high level of understanding of the Heart Sutra, second only to the two founders of Buddhism.

Although the Buddhist disciples cannot directly control the sect's cultivators, they possess strong self-control and may even have the potential to discover ways to exert control.

Under these conditions, many cultivators would naturally befriend them rather than become enemies, and various small groups would inevitably form.

"Hmm~"

Parvati nodded in agreement, and continued to carry the Buddha Son Shigong upwards in a whirlwind.

As Parvati flew closer to the Bifeng area behind the mountain, her heart pounded. When her gaze fell upon the Buddha Son Shigong she was holding, a bloodthirsty urge surged into her mind, and she wished she could bite the Buddha Son Shigong to death.

Just as the dull sounds of fighting rang out, a five-colored divine light swept across the dust, clearing away all the dust and causing the Buddha Son Shigong was searching for, to stumble.

Parvati, watching the Peacock Great Wisdom King fight the Jade Emperor with an expressionless face, suddenly realized the danger of falling into such emotions.

But she found that she couldn't control the bloodlust surging within her.

She glanced at the neck of the Buddha Son Shigong several times, then revealed her sharp teeth and bit down.
