Chapter 24
The Inner Demon is Not Oneself, But a Deadly Star Arrives
Yu Yixian quickly added, "Senior sisters, this Guang Chengzi wants our lives, we absolutely cannot let him succeed! Quickly join forces and keep him here!"
Witnessing the two men's constant filth and foul language, the Holy Mother of Wudang, with disgust, flicked her whisk downwards once more, and with another three thousand strands of white hair, she once again put the two men into the sachet at her waist.
"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, I will take these people back to my cave and teach them properly. I will take my leave now and visit Yuxu Palace again in the future. I hope you will not refuse then."
The Holy Mother of Wudang regained her peaceful demeanor and smiled gently.
Guang Chengzi had always liked such peaceful immortals, so he smiled and said, "I will wait for my junior sister to visit me at Yuxu Palace in ten thousand years. But before that, I must first inspect Kunlun Mountain so that Uncle Tongtian's entrustment will not be in vain. I will take my leave now. Please wait, junior sisters."
After saying this, Guang Chengzi rose up in a golden light once more and instantly left the place, flying directly towards the distant horizon.
Seeing that Guang Chengzi had such profound attainments in the art of flight, the Holy Mother Wudang couldn't help but praise him: "Everyone says that birds are the best at flying, but I think this Senior Brother Guang Chengzi's flying speed is not slow either. I'm afraid he can fly out of Kunlun Mountain within ten years and reach Buzhou Mountain within ten thousand years."
Kunlun Mountain is the foremost ancestral mountain of the East, the source of countless divine mountains, and the second most sacred mountain in the primordial world after Buzhou Mountain. Naturally, it is immense and unattainable, reaching the heavens above and piercing the netherworld below.
It contains infinite mysteries of time and space. Perhaps within a single grain of sand lies a vast universe, which naturally makes Kunlun Mountain even more profound and unpredictable.
The fact that the Holy Mother of Wudang said that Guangchengzi could fly out of Kunlun Mountain within ten years was already a great compliment. If it were her, without using the Shangqing Zhouguang Guangyu Formation specially made by Tongtian, she would probably not be able to fly out for ten thousand years.
Even the most powerful immortals can find everything they need in the Kunlun Mountains and never have to leave.
After Wudang Shengmu finished speaking, she glanced at Guiling Shengmu, who had been keeping her head down, sighed, and said, "Master is merciful. If you are heartbroken and sincerely repent, everything can be restored. But if you are determined to go down this crooked path, even if Master wants to help you, I will risk Master's punishment to not forgive you."
After saying this, half admonishing and half warning, the Holy Mother of Wudang left with her seven attendant immortals and the Winged Immortal, clearly to cultivate in seclusion for ten thousand years and to correct the bad habits of these people.
Watching the departing figure of the Holy Mother Wudang, the Holy Mother Guiling's expression changed again and again, her eyes filled with regret and sorrow, but in the end, they all turned into a resolute expression.
"Senior sister, please don't blame me. I've already gone down a dark path, and Guang Chengzi has become my inner demon. If I don't get rid of him, I'm afraid my cultivation will be unable to make any progress in this lifetime."
In her recent state of demonic possession, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit did not see her own reflection, but rather Guang Chengzi with a malicious expression, looking at her with a mocking smile, and even trying to possess her and devour everything about her.
The demon within her was no longer herself, but rather resembled someone else. One can imagine the immense pressure Guang Chengzi exerted on Guiling Shengmu, to the point that he had even ceased to be himself.
With such inner demons entangled within her, the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit no longer knew how to continue her cultivation, nor how to face her many fellow disciples.
To slay the inner demons, one must slay the truth. The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit wanted to let go, but she could no longer let go.
With a sigh, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit reached to her waist, took out a Shangqing Token, shook it slightly, and immediately disappeared without a trace, clearly having gone to the Langhuan Library.
With both of the Shangqing lineage masters gone, the numerous female immortals looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to do.
Hanzhixian was born from a primordial spiritual water that attached itself to a lingzhi mushroom. She was born with the beauty of orchids and jade trees, fresh and natural. She was a rare pure and spiritual immortal in Biyou Palace. She had always eaten only the wind of heaven and drank the dew of earth, and had never been tainted by blood.
With a spiritual heart and a relatively calm temperament, she quickly recovered and said with a slight frown, "Sisters, those two senior sisters have already been punished and left. Why don't we all return to our caves to cultivate?"
That makes sense, as Hanzhixian has never liked killing, and because of her pure nature, she rarely sets foot in filthy places and despises such dirty people.
For example, when Guang Chengzi first crippled Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and then injured Jin Guangxian, Han Zhi Xian was not angry at all. On the contrary, she quite admired his actions.
The former coveted her and spent his days by her side, which disgusted her. The latter was extremely filthy, and Han Zhixian didn't want to speak to him, for fear of tainting her pure aura.
If it weren't for the fear that her fellow disciples would be indignant about this, and the fact that the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit had been kind to her, helping her overcome her tribulation and protecting her before Han Zhixian took human form, preventing her from being bitten by mosquitoes and losing her life force, she probably would have gone to thank Guang Chengzi long ago.
Now that the two senior sisters have left, Han Zhixian naturally won't stay any longer. She may seem to be asking questions, but in reality, she has already decided to leave quickly.
But before the other sisters could speak, a beam of auspicious light suddenly flew in from afar. This light was fierce and extremely fast, clearly not wanting to waste even the slightest bit of time.
Many of the female immortals knew quite a bit about the person in this light, and naturally knew that it was Bixiao.
Sure enough, the light was fleeting. When it dissipated, a female fairy dressed in a green dress was seen rushing towards them with a furious expression, holding a pair of golden scissors in her left hand and a fist-sized golden bucket in her right.
As the female immortal lashed out, she shouted, "Where is that Guang Chengzi! He could burn my Golden Dragon Scissors, I refuse to believe he can burn this Hunyuan Golden Cauldron! This time I will definitely cripple his magical powers and turn him into a cripple to vent my anger!"
Anyone who dares to say such things in public, and possesses the Golden Dragon Scissors and the Primordial Golden Bucket, must be the one who has escaped the wrath of Bixiao.
It's really strange, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of the Clouds are brothers and sisters, and they are all extremely gentle, humble and polite, almost unlike people from Biyou.
Unfortunately, Bixiao, a troublemaker, appeared out of nowhere. Relying on several treasures, he was always saying he wanted to kill this person or that person, as if he were invincible.
However, looking at the treasures in Bixiao's hands, Hanzhixian and the other female immortals exchanged glances, all of them wearing bitter smiles.
With these two treasures, Bixiao is probably unmatched in heaven and earth.
Han Zhixian had some acquaintance with Qiongxiao and had also met Bixiao before. She immediately greeted her, saying, "Sister Bixiao, you're really late. Senior Brother Guangchengzi has already left."
Senior Sister Guiling was punished and has gone to the Langhuan Library to copy books. Senior Sister Wudang is to return to her cave to cultivate in seclusion for ten thousand years. As for the Seven Immortals and Senior Brother Yuyi, they have also gone to cultivate in seclusion with Senior Sister Wudang.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Bixiao frowned, her face filled with murderous intent, yet she didn't know where to vent it.
Ever since she learned that Guang Chengzi had emerged from seclusion, she immediately took the two treasures secretly, hoping to avenge her previous humiliation. However, despite her haste, she was still too late.
