Wandering Gods of Day and Night

On the summit of Lotus Mountain, a blurred figure threw a yellow talisman towards the direction of the Lotus Temple.

The yellow talisman depicted an ancient twenty-five string harp,

As the talisman paper continued to fly, the strings of that ancient zither seemed to be lightly plucked by the wind,

Immediately, a melodious sound of the zither emerged from the talisman paper and drifted into the void.

When the talisman paper was getting closer to the Lotus Temple, the zither on the paper suddenly leaped from the paper,

The zither’s sound resounded again,

But this time, instead of spreading out, the sound was trapped within the body of the zither.

The sound of the zither was like water, the body of the zither like a skin bag,

As the sound accumulated, the skin bag became more and more swollen, more and more filled,

The skin bag expanded with a limit, but the sound of the zither kept amassing,

Finally, when the sound of the zither swelled to a certain limit, the trapped sound burst forth suddenly.

With a muffled bang, the body of the zither shattered, transforming into countless specks of dust, and the sound of the zither like flowing water, surged forth and rushed into the vast sea of Buddhas.

...

The six great Buddha Slaves, standing in the Sea of Buddha, had already shown a degree of submission towards Zhou Xuan.

The Golden Body Slave was utterly convinced that Zhou Xuan was the future of the Ancient Buddha,

He raised his hands, his knees somewhat weakened, wanting to kneel towards Zhou Xuan.

"Golden Body of Buddha Slave, along with five other Buddha Slaves, respectfully welcome the future World Honored One."

The slogan of the Golden Body Slave had already been announced,

Zhou Xuan felt gratified, he only thought playing the role of an Ancient Buddha could restrain those believers of the Ancient Buddha, but never expected it to be so easy.

At this time, the Green Robed Buddha also smiled slightly, gently poking at the Golden Body Slave, and said, "Golden Body of Buddha Slave, at the moment of life and death, you recognized our Buddha, truly a commendable act of turning back from the cliff."

His words made Zhou Xuan realize—today’s submission of the Golden Body Slave was so smooth because of the presence of the Eternal Life Sect Leader, the Green Robed Buddha, and the Tiancan Monk.

These three, inside the Heavenly Spirit Tower, mistakenly thought Zhou Xuan was truly the future of the Ancient Buddha, without a trace of doubt.

Precisely because they believed, when they persuaded the Golden Body Buddha to "convert" to the future of the Ancient Buddha, their tone and demeanor were full of confidence, leaving no room for doubt from others.

"As the old saying goes, ’Three men make a tiger’, the ancients truly did not deceive me."

Zhou Xuan said secretly, he had already decided, just based on the merits of these three, when refining the next batch of elixirs, he would definitely reward them with some good elixirs.

However, something that was originally proceeding smoothly, encountered a change,

After the Golden Body Slave announced his "conversion slogan," there was no further progress.

He stood in the Sea of Buddha, neither making a move to kneel nor uttering a single word, as if petrified on the spot.

"Why is there still no response?"

Zhou Xuan stared intently ahead,

Not only did the Golden Body Slave remain unresponsive, but the other five Buddha Slaves were also all in a daze.

However, though there was no response, Zhou Xuan felt that the eyes of these six Buddha Slaves were becoming clearer and clearer,

This was not a good omen.

...

"Supreme stage star, transform without pause. Expel evil, bind charms, protect life, purify heart."

"Wisdom bright and clear, heart spirit calm. Three souls eternal, spirit coagulating in utmost purity."

In the sincere Sea of Buddha, a wave of Taoist "Qing Xin Fa Zhou" echoed without reason.

This incantation continually resonated,

The eyes of the six great Buddha Slaves became increasingly clear,

When they listened to the spell, it seemed as though someone stood by their ear.

That person whispered softly, continually telling them how "Wu Cang" had been subdued by Zhou Xuan.

"Wu Cang did not convert, it was merely caught in a colorful play."

"Wu Cang did not convert, it was deceived by Zhou Xuan."

This voice not only revealed the truth about "Wu Cang" to the six, but also conveyed the situation inside the Heavenly Spirit Tower into their hearts.

They saw the scene where Zhou Xuan used an "Ancient Buddha Scam" to deceive Wu Cang, naturally their minds were no longer under Zhou Xuan’s control.

Upon realizing the truth, the Golden Body Slave immediately pointed at Zhou Xuan and said, "You swindler, impersonating the future of my World Honored One, fortunately, the heavens bless us six, or we would have fallen into your trap."

Zhou Xuan remained calm; when he saw the change in their eyes, he knew that this colorful play most likely did not succeed.

Nonetheless, despite the failure, Zhou Xuan did not believe the Golden Body Slave’s talk of "heaven’s blessings upon the six of us."

"Where is this heaven’s blessing, it’s merely the help of others."

Zhou Xuan reacted quickly, feeling certain that the six great Buddha Slaves had external assistance.

"The six great families of the Snow Plain Prefecture have already perished, and as for Boba and Ning Yu of the Reincarnation Temple, some have faced execution, others have been captured, they truly cannot assist the Buddha Slaves."

"The only possibility is that the Yanfutai Buddha Mother has descended?"

Zhou Xuan thought of this, heightening his perception to the utmost, manifesting the "Day and Night Wandering God" Dharma Image,

"Sun Soul, Night Soul, scour Lotus Mountain, and find that Buddha Mother."

Zhou Xuan’s fingers acted like a command flag, pointing into the mountains, and the Day and Night Dual Souls departed his body, sweeping towards Lotus Mountain,

In just a few moments, the two souls surveyed every nook and cranny of Lotus Mountain, but found nothing.

"Well hidden indeed, is this concealment out of fear of revealing the true form?"

Zhou Xuan’s dual souls returned to his body, although he had found nothing, he understood the intention of the person in the shadows immediately.

"If she were truly Yanfutai, would she need to hide like this?"

Zhou Xuan said to himself.

Now, Yanfutai can no longer hide in the shadows, her six children, who doesn’t know what she looks like?
