Wandering Gods of Day and Night

If the Witch God intervenes at the critical moment to rescue Mr., wouldn’t that Heavenly God level figure escape?"

"If he escapes, then so be it. Compared to the bygone hatred, the life of Xuanzi is far more precious."

Yun Ziliang sighed helplessly.

At that moment, the Green Robed Buddha exclaimed, "Uh-oh, the Ancient Buddha has revealed the Lotus Hand Seal."

Yun Ziliang quickly looked over, and he saw the Ancient Buddha’s mirror image forming the Lotus Seal with both hands,

while above the Heavenly Dome, a giant fiery lotus appeared,

its flames more intense than the Fierce Sun. Just a glance would make anyone believe that this lotus could incinerate everything under the heavens.

"This Lotus Hand Seal is the Ancient Buddha’s enlightenment after meeting with the Tao Ancestor."

The Green Robed Buddha explained the origin of the Lotus Seal to everyone.

It turned out, the former Ancient Buddha was also obsessed with the Tao Ancestor’s Alchemy Technique. He had humbly sought advice from the Tao Ancestor—regarding alchemy inquiries.

After seeing the pill furnace nurtured by the Tao Ancestor, the Ancient Buddha comprehended the Lotus Seal.

"The Lotus Seal is like the world’s fiercest, largest pill furnace, capable of refining everything. Once the Lotus Seal enters the Palm Buddha Country, I’m afraid the Master will be refined into an elixir."

The Green Robed Buddha stomped anxiously, and everyone turned their gaze to Yun Ziliang. As long as Yun Ziliang said—enter the Buddha Country,

these people would rush into the Palm Buddha Country together,

yet Yun Ziliang only said, "You must have faith in Xuanzi."

"Faith, where does this faith come from?"

The Green Robed Buddha retorted angrily...

...

A blazing lotus capable of incinerating everything slowly descended into the Palm Buddha Country.

As soon as the lotus touched the ground, its petals unfurled.

"Om Mani Padme Hum."

"Om Mani Padme Hum."

In the Buddha Country, countless Whips of True Words struck Zhou Xuan repeatedly without achieving great effects, and finally, these whips changed tactics.

They transformed into countless golden tentacles, entwining Zhou Xuan, lifting him up, and delivering him into the blazing lotus.

The lotus petals closed one by one as Zhou Xuan entered its heart.

Flames surged, burning, refining,

and Zhou Xuan’s hundred-zhang body truly felt as if it were melting.

Yet Zhou Xuan’s expression showed neither pain, distress nor fear,

he simply continued gazing at the nine masks that followed him.

The fire grew stronger,

the flame of the pill furnace never merely burned, but extracted the essence of precious materials.

Within Zhou Xuan’s body, the divine souls of those Erlang’s infantry showed signs of being separated by the fire,

among them, an Erlang’s infantry named "Child Delivery" had already been peeled away by the blazing fire,

as this divine soul left the body, it tried to re-enter Zhou Xuan’s body but was already refined into a perfectly round elixir, suspended among the fire lotus.

Zhou Xuan continued staring at the nine masks,

at this moment, a voice from Alchemist Bai Lu emerged from within his Secret Realm.

"Mr., Mr."

"Old Bai Lu." Zhou Xuan responded.

Old Bai Lu hurriedly whispered, "Mr., Danzi said this fire lotus can be seen as the Ancient Buddha’s pill furnace,

all the world’s pill furnaces are subject to Danzi’s control, he said if you release it, he can extinguish this fire lotus."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan’s heart warmed greatly, but he knew he couldn’t release Danzi.

If Danzi were to appear, then Bai Yujing and the Heavenly Dome would know he secretly devoured the "Dan Demon," resulting in endless troubles.

Zhou Xuan said, "Old Bai Lu, go to the stone temple front and tell Danzi, I appreciate his goodwill, but this time, I have to find my own way out."

"Alas..."

Alchemist Bai Lu’s words sounded more like a sigh than a response.

He couldn’t bear to see Zhou Xuan perish.

"Mr., our era of grand alchemy hasn’t come yet, you must take care."

Just as Alchemist Bai Lu’s voice faded,

the Witch God’s whisper came once more.

"Young Master, do you need my help?"

"No need, I still have one more chance." Zhou Xuan stubbornly replied, continuing to fix his gaze on the nine masks.

"You truly have no way."

The Witch God sighed, saying, "The war god Nuo has two unparalleled skills, the first in Jing Country,

one is his unparalleled war intent,

the other is his Law of Destiny,

you are only Nuoshen’s Shadow; you inherited Nuoshen’s war intent but have not comprehended the Law of Destiny,

without this complete law, you cannot fight against the Ancient Buddha’s mirror image. Though he has not fully inherited all Five Seals, he has you restrained."

As one of the Four Great Venerable, the Witch God’s insight was naturally sharp, revealing the Heavenly Mechanism with a word.

Zhou Xuan inherited Nuoshen’s war intent and combat instinct, possessing the world’s most perfect physique and Divine Power.

If facing another Heavenly God Level, Zhou Xuan could slay them with sheer close combat,

but the Ancient Buddha’s mirror image happens to possess the Vajra Unbreakable Body, the most victorious body of Heaven and Earth, brute strength and grappling could not break his form.

"Witch God, don’t be anxious, I’m still comprehending."

Zhou Xuan advised the Witch God not to intervene,

to which the Witch God responded with a "huh," feeling that Zhou Xuan greatly resembled some bigwig from inside Jing Country—furthermore, this person wasn’t Nuoshen.

...

Suspended in midair, the Ancient Buddha’s mirror image remained seated in meditation,

his four Buddha Slaves behind him inquired, "Master, why not use the third hand seal—Rock Hand Seal?"

"The third hand seal of the World Honored One can make the earth sink. For the sake of Brother Evil Ghost, Master must use this hand seal to crush Zhou Xuan to pieces."

"Do you think I don’t want to?"

The Golden Body Slave sighed, "I am just the Ancient Buddha’s mirror image, of the Five Seals, I only inherited two, I cannot perform the third hand seal,

however, it matters little, just this Lotus Hand Seal can refine Zhou Xuan into a furnace of elixir,

the elixir refined from Zhou Xuan’s body, I will take it back to Snow Plain Prefecture to share with the Six Great Families."

Zhou Xuan wiped out the top hands of the Six Great Families, so the Golden Body Slave intended to refine Zhou Xuan into an elixir, giving back to the Six Great Families,

"I believe, it’s only fair."

As the Golden Body Slave fantasized about how to allocate the "Zhou Xuan elixir," the distant sky subtly filled with a purple cloud layer,

the cloud layer rolled forward, slowly but surely, surging toward Lotus Mountain,

and above Snow Plain Prefecture, a golden cumulus emerged, also swiftly approaching Lotus Temple,

overhead of East Gate Mansion, a blood-red cloud layer formed, hastily moving toward Lotus Temple as well...
