Chapter 12

The 108 Heavenly Maidens Formation

Looking at the man with rabbit ears and pink clothes, Baihe Tongzi couldn't suppress his resentment and said bitterly, "Senior Brother, I could let it go if it were anyone else, but this person is the one I hate the most!"

Before Guang Chengzi could ask further, Baihe Tongzi said, "This person is called Chang Er Ding Guang Xian. His true form is a wisp of innate primordial energy that entered a mother rabbit and took the form of a rabbit to manifest."

Dingguangxian initially tried to become the master's disciple, but her innate destiny destined her to go far down the path of pleasure. The master disliked the cumbersome carnal desires involved, so he transferred her to the third master.

The Third Master did think highly of him and took him in. However, the boy felt that the Master looked down on him. But since the Master had no disciples at the time, he made things difficult for me every day, which was very annoying.

That would have been fine, but what the master said back then was indeed true. This Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang did indeed follow the path of pleasure, but he was particularly fond of the demonic practice of absorbing yin to replenish yang, and often raped the female immortals in the mountains!

As he finished speaking, the White Crane Boy's voice trembled with a sob: "I once had a loving couple who, though they were demons, spent their days gathering dew and pine nuts to eat, never touching a drop of blood or flesh."

They had hoped to one day become servants of the master like me, but in the end—in the end, they were cruelly murdered by this man, who killed the husband and wife and drained their life force. It was utterly heinous! Unforgivable!

The White Crane Boy spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and Guang Chengzi frowned deeply, his face filled with disgust. If what the White Crane Boy said was true, then this Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal truly deserved to die.

He wasn't prejudiced against cultivators who practiced the path of pleasure, after all, it was a legitimate path that emphasized the union of yin and yang, the combination of spirit and flesh, and the comprehension of the true essence of the Great Dao through this union.

If the proper methods are followed, it will benefit both the man and the woman; it's just a matter of who benefits more or less, but they will definitely not lose anything.

But this Long-Eared Immortal of Fixed Light uses evil methods, not only taking away all the benefits, but also draining the woman dry or even killing her. He truly deserves to die.

Moreover—

Guang Chengzi noticed that there were broken threads of affection entwined between Baihe Tongzi's eyebrows and eyes, indicating that Chang Er Dingguang Xian had also mistreated one of his Daoist partners. Even though they were separated, there was still some affection between them, so it seemed that he had no choice but to stand up for the other party.

Just then, the man in pink with rabbit ears flew over with a grin. Before he even got close, a strong, pungent scent of perfume wafted over, making people cough and feel dizzy.

Even Guang Chengzi felt quite uncomfortable, not because the fragrance had bewitched him, but because he could see through the cosmetics and knew that they contained the ashes of innocent women.

This Long-Eared Immortal is truly perverted. Not only does he consume these innocent women, but he also refines their corpses into body fragrance, keeping them company every day. He is simply a lewd and evil demon.

Guang Chengzi was somewhat incredulous that the other Shangqing disciples could tolerate this Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal. However, remembering that those Shangqing disciples weren't exactly good people either, he felt relieved.

This is truly a perfect match – a broken pot with a broken lid.

Unfortunately, this Long-Eared Immortal didn't find his smell unpleasant. Seeing Guang Chengzi and Baihe Tongzi frowning at him, he actually smiled and said, "This humble Daoist, Long-Eared Immortal, greets Senior Brother Guang Chengzi and Junior Brother Baihe. Senior Brother, we met at the sermon that day. I wonder if Senior Brother Guang Chengzi still remembers me?"

Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment and realized that he had indeed seen the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal. However, at that time, he had focused more on Duobao and the other disciples of Shangqing, and had only glanced at the others.

But since the other party was being so hypocritical, he had no choice but to say a few polite words. So he nodded slightly and said, "So it's Junior Brother Long-Eared. I wonder how you've been lately? There were so many things to do that day that I didn't get a chance to greet you. It was really my fault. I'll make up for it today."

Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang chuckled and said, "No, no, it's no trouble at all. Senior Brother is the chief disciple of Second Master Uncle and the future Palace Master of Jade Void Palace. It's an honor for Junior Brother to greet you. How could I dare to blame Senior Brother?"

This statement is rather nonsensical. Although it appears to be a compliment to Guang Chengzi on the surface, it actually carries a hidden meaning of sowing discord.

What Jade Void Palace Master? How could such a thing be said openly?

Not to mention that Yuanshi Tianzun will continue to take on disciples in the future, it is still unknown who the next Jade Void Palace Master will be.

Moreover, even if Yuanshi Tianzun is determined to make Guangchengzi the next Jade Void Palace Master, Yuanshi Tianzun has not yet abdicated. So, with all this talk, who knows what Yuanshi Tianzun is really thinking?

Everyone knows that Yuanshi Tianzun values ​​rules the most. Such behavior as whispering and gossiping behind one's back is what displeases Yuanshi Tianzun the most, and one might lose his favor because of it.

Guang Chengzi realized the key point and couldn't help but reveal a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

This Long-Eared Immortal is truly remarkable. He deserves to be the future Buddha of Joy and Light, standing out among the disciples of the Jie Sect who have become his mounts.

To be able to possess such a small amount of underhanded scheming among a group of brainless immortals of Shangqing is not exactly great wisdom, but it is still quite impressive.

Guang Chengzi waved away the White Crane Boy who wanted to speak and said with a faint smile, "What you said, Junior Brother, is quite meaningless. Golden Immortals can live forever, let alone the cultivation of the three Heavenly Venerables."

"Immortal and indestructible, eternally existing, one can naturally reside in a position of bliss and happiness for countless millennia. If I truly wished to become an ancestor, I would naturally establish a separate sect and a separate abode; how could I possibly covet the position of Jade Void?"

After saying that, Guang Chengzi shifted his immortal gaze slightly and looked at Chang Er Dingguang Xian, saying, "It seems that Junior Brother has such thoughts. Could it be that you want to inherit the mantle of Third Uncle and create a magnificent future for Biyou?"

"You truly have lofty ambitions, and I, as your elder brother, admire you greatly. I am ashamed of my own inferiority. I only hope that my esteemed teacher will not despise my dullness and allow me to serve by his side. That would be enough; I dare not think of anything else."

Great!

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian never expected that this Senior Brother Yu Qing would be so capable, doing things meticulously and speaking with impeccable clarity.

Not only did she thwart his divisive remarks, but she also easily shifted the blame onto him, using his own weapon against him – a truly masterful use of leverage.

The White Crane Boy also came to his senses at this moment. If he were to say what he meant, he would naturally admit it strongly and then sarcastically retort, teaching the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal a lesson in a high-handed manner.

However, if he really did that, people would think he was too arrogant and conceited, wanting to replace his mentor before even completing his apprenticeship, which would be utterly rebellious.

The White Crane Boy secretly thought how close he had come to disaster, realizing that the Primordial Celestial Venerable was indeed discerning in choosing a disciple, and that Guang Chengzi was worthy of the Primordial Celestial Venerable's earnest teachings.

However, he was also quite clever, and immediately said with a grin, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Long-Eared would have such grand ambitions. It seems that soon Kunlun Mountain will also be called Long-Eared Mountain."

Guang Chengzi, feigning anger, said, "You shameless boy! Kunlun Mountain is the ancestral vein of the East, not the ancestral land of the rabbit clan. What 'Long-eared Mountain'? It's really unpleasant to hear. Don't say it again, or don't blame your brother for punishing you."

Upon hearing this, Baihe Tongzi immediately covered his head and said in a pitiful voice, "Junior Brother means well. After all, Senior Brother Chang'er's path is to embrace all rivers and seas, and he is not picky about meat or vegetables, which is just in line with the magnanimous path of Kunlun Mountain."

Guang Chengzi sighed and shook his head, saying, "Kunlun Mountain is tolerant, but it doesn't accept everything, good or bad. Don't say such things again, or you'll anger Master, and I won't be able to protect you."

The two fellow disciples, chatting and laughing, completely exposed the background of the Long-Eared Immortal, making the long-eared rabbit blush with embarrassment and wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Although there is no order of precedence, there are differences in the quality and value of one's origin. His rabbit-shaped incarnation is a physical form with a physical body, and is the lowest of the low.

Even if one is tainted with a trace of innate yin energy and bears the name of innate beings, one cannot rise to a high level and is still not worthy of being presented in a respectable manner.

Normally, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was most afraid of others revealing his background, and because he and the other six were the Seven Immortals who served Tong Tian, ​​their status was between that of a direct disciple and an inner disciple.

She was usually respected in Biyou Palace, so how could she be humiliated like this? Her original pretense immediately faded, and a murderous thought surged into her heart.

A murderous intent arose in his heart, and his face turned ugly. The once smiling Chang Er Ding Guang Xian gradually became repulsive.

The immortals of Shangqing are like this: as long as others do not go their way, they will immediately become unbearable and start a major conflict.

Just like when Guang Chengzi had a disagreement outside Kunlun Mountain, he provoked Bi Bixiao to directly use the Golden Dragon Scissors, a deadly weapon. This shows how unruly such an immortal is.

Having received the empowerment and enlightenment of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Guang Chengzi's soul had become a hundred times more acute. He was able to keenly sense the moment when Chang Er Ding Guang Xian had a single murderous thought.

Before him, the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal was no different from being naked, like a book that he could flip through at will.

Faced with the murderous intent of the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, Guang Chengzi was not alarmed but delighted. He was worried about not having a chance to get revenge for the White Crane Boy, so he began to talk about more private matters.

The more he spoke, the more unable Chang Er Ding Guangxian could contain himself. He immediately shouted, "You wicked Taoist! I have treated you with courtesy, yet you show me such contempt! You are truly hateful! You deserve to be beaten!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade-green pearl suddenly rose from the pink lotus crown on his head. The pearl swayed in the air, and thousands of celestial maidens descended from the sky.

These celestial maidens wore thin, almost transparent clothing. They chatted and laughed with each other, their jade-like faces full of alluring smiles, their beautiful figures left for all to see, displaying their enchanting charm.

Thousands of celestial maidens danced together, forming a grand array of 108 celestial maidens. Within this array, the Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang, with his chest exposed and his face lewd, was embracing several celestial maidens and fooling around. It was a scene of debauchery and utter disgust.

Guang Chengzi was unwilling to let such filth and evil energy stain his robes, so he put his few treasures into a treasure box, temporarily supporting a beam of Jade Purity Immortal Light, and then he was trapped inside the Heavenly Maiden Formation.

Like a hungry dog ​​seeing a piece of fat meat, after these great formations enveloped Guang Chengzi, the celestial maidens leaned down with charming smiles, their rosy lips, round eyes, full eyebrows, and moist skin.

These celestial maidens are as if created by the heavens, without the slightest flaw in their bodies, enough to ignite the extinguished lust within any male creature.

Even a person born without feelings or desires would instantly turn into a lustful wolf upon seeing these celestial maidens, wishing to be forever immersed in their gentle embrace.

In other words, Guang Chengzi's soul resides high within the innate realm, naturally enabling him to repel such desires and protect the White Crane Boy.

The White Crane Boy was a crane in human form. Compared to these celestial maidens with hands and feet, he loved the mother crane more, and naturally, he easily remained conscious.

However, upon seeing these celestial maiden formations, he said with a hint of nervousness, "Senior Brother, do not underestimate the enemy. This Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal is one of the Seven Immortals who serve the Third Master, and he is usually very favored."

Even the Third Master had tailored a cultivation technique for him, called the "True Scripture of Yin-Yang Harmony and Joy," which was indeed a genuine classic. However, this Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal somehow comprehended the evil demonic path from it.

He would drain the female cultivators' essence until they died, then refine their bodies into fragrant perfumes, and their souls into celestial maidens. The success of each celestial maiden required the sacrifice of countless female cultivators.

The reason these celestial maidens are so perfect is because they have taken the most perfect part from thousands of female cultivators. Do not be tempted by these celestial maidens, otherwise your soul essence will be sucked away.

Especially for male cultivators, under the attraction of yin and yang, these celestial maidens' yin energy will definitely drain the yang energy from their bodies, ultimately leading to death from exhaustion! A fate worse than death!

Guang Chengzi hadn't expected the creation of these celestial maidens to be so cruel, but this was in line with Chang Er Ding Guang Xin's assessment, so it wasn't surprising.

"How pitiful, how pitiful! I see that many of these celestial maidens are also plant spirits. They have endured countless years of wind and rain, and countless thunderbolts, before finally escaping the shackles of their original forms and transforming into their true forms. Yet, in a single day, they suffer a calamity, and their millennia of arduous cultivation are destroyed in an instant, all belonging to others. They are truly pitiful."

When Guang Chengzi saw these celestial maidens with their charming smiles and seductive behavior, he sighed. Those women who had gathered the essence of heaven and earth had long since died, having been drained alive by Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.

Even in death, they would not find peace. Not only would they be transformed into fragrance, but they would also become these lowly things that entice people's souls. He could not bear it, so he wanted to send them on their way.

With his mind made up, Guang Chengzi's face gradually became solemn and dignified, and he began to utter sounds like the booming of a great bell. In a daze, he even had a bit of the demeanor of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

"At that time, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was above the Mysterious Realm, in the Pure Subtle Heaven, within the Nine-Colored Hall, ascended the Seven-Treasured Throne, emitted great light, and spread it to all spirits, teaching and enlightening the heavens. The Celestial Venerables of the Ten Directions, Emperors, and Sages all listened to the wondrous Dharma. The Celestial Venerable said: 'The cycle of reincarnation, the hells and the netherworld…'"

The scripture mentioned by Guang Chengzi is about one of the sermons given by Yuanshi Tianzun, in which he talked about the cycle of reincarnation, hell, and the underworld.

He naturally had not experienced it personally, but Guang Chengzi possessed the Jade Void Treasure Box, which had been transformed into the plaque of the Jade Void Palace and hung outside the palace for millions of years. Naturally, he had heard every sermon of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Now that the two are perfectly integrated, it is just as if Guang Chengzi had personally heard the teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun, and there is no difference between them.
