Upon hearing this, the people of Sishan City stood up angrily, their eyes filled with grief and indignation.

"Even if Emperor Taizu made mistakes, he is still the emperor most revered by our Zhu clan!"

"Back then, we were oppressed by foreign tribes and became their slaves. It was Emperor Taizu who drove out the barbarians and restored the dignity of the human race. He was a good emperor, and we would rather die than curse him as an inhumane ruler!"

"Immortal Master Xuanwu, please kill us!"

"..."

From the elderly to children, everyone in Sishan City holds the founding emperor in the highest esteem.

Wrong! Everyone makes that mistake.

But the merits of the founding emperor outweigh his flaws. It was the founding emperor who gave them their freedom back then, yet now they want to insult the very person who saved them in the first place in order to regain their freedom.

The people of Sishan City cannot and will not do it.

Seeing this, Xuanwu sneered inwardly and said to Lingyun:

"Fellow Daoist, you can't blame me for this, can you?"

Ling Yun smiled faintly:

"Are there any other solutions besides this?"

“Yes!” Xuanwu shouted.

"Unless my son can be brought back to life!"

"really?"

"really!"

Ling Yun nodded slightly and silently continued refining the Heavenly Cauldron, summoning the Xuanwu within.

"Xuande died unjustly and did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but Heaven, mindful of his integrity, attached his soul to a Xuanwu stone. After 100,000 years, the Xuanwu stone finally became Xuanwu!"

He is your son!

boom!

The next moment!

The four mountains trembled simultaneously, and four enormous Xuanwu appeared before everyone.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The Xuanwu in the east shrank to its normal size and floated from the east to Ling Yun's side, trembling as it took the small Xuanwu from Ling Yun's hand.

"child!"

"mother!"

After Ling Yun severed the shackles of memory from Xiao Xuanwu, he regained his memories, remembered everything, and immediately recognized the Xuanwu in front of him as his mother.

"son!"

"Grandson!"

The other three Xuanwu are the little Xuanwu's father and grandparents.

Ten thousand years later, the family was finally reunited.

After the excited greetings, Xiao Xuanwu glanced at the people of Sishan City, his eyes filled with deep pity and self-reproach.

He felt it was all his fault that the Zhu family had fallen to such a state. He looked at his mother:

"Mother, please let them go."

Xuanwu nodded. Seeing her child return, all the hatred in her heart had vanished.

Immediately, the four adults and one child bowed deeply to Ling Yun.

"Thank you for bringing my son back, fellow Daoist. If you ever visit the Xuanwu Star Region in the future, I will certainly treat you well!"

Ling Yun nodded slightly, "Okay!"

The Xuanwu family soared into the sky. Before leaving, Little Xuanwu patted its shell and beckoned to Abao.

Abao's face stiffened, and he angrily said:

"Little white fox, don't pull me! I'm going to chop his shell off! He's looking down on me!"

The moment the Xuanwu family disappeared into the sky, spiritual energy from all directions surged into the Four Mountains City.

At the same time, the restrictions on the bloodlines of the people of Sishan City also disappeared, and they could now cultivate.

Sensing the changes in their bodies and their surroundings, the people of Sishan City wept with joy and knelt before Ling Yun:

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving the Zhu clan!"

Ling Yun gently lifted everyone up with his breath, and said with a smile:

"It's all in the past now, focus on your cultivation!"

...

The following day, Ling Yun and his group left Four Mountain City. He set up a restriction on Four Mountain City, so that any outside cultivators who entered Four Mountain City would have their cultivation level drop to the Martial Bone Realm.

To prevent outsiders from coveting the Four Mountain Cities.

Before leaving, Ya Ya got up very early and made hundreds of sesame cakes for Ling Yun and his group.

On the way, Abao ate a sesame seed cake while pointing south and saying:

"Shall we head in that direction?"

Ling Yun asked with a smile:

"Why? Haven't we always been traveling from east to west?"

Ah Bao said:

"Lately, I've been seeing more and more black and white images in my mind, and I have a feeling that something is guiding me south!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was very curious about what kind of black and white image it was.

Lingxi said crisply:

"Black and white image? It can't be a giant panda, can it? Only giant pandas are black and white!"

Po shook his head and said, "I can't tell the panda apart, anyway, it's just a black and white image."

Besides, the Great Gan Dynasty didn't have a Panda Clan!

Ling Yun smiled and said:

"The Panda Clan is just what humans call them. Their real name is the Iron-Eating Beast Clan, known as one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of the Primordial World."

Their combat power is comparable to that of a golden dragon, and their ancestor became the mount of a supreme human immortal king.

Don't let their cute appearance fool you; they're actually incredibly ruthless.

Near the Misty Immortal Sect lies the territory of the Iron-Eating Beast Clan. Before becoming a True Immortal, Ling Yun frequently sought out the Iron-Eating Beast Clan for sparring.

They knew all too well how formidable the Iron-Eating Beasts, despite their seemingly innocent and adorable appearance, were in battle.

Lingyun's only draw was thanks to the Iron-Eating Beast Prince.

Ah Bao pointed south and said:

"The next city is Ganfo City, named after the Golden Zen Temple located there."

That temple was extremely popular, and it was rumored to be incredibly effective at granting children; almost everyone who went to worship there had their wishes fulfilled!

Before Lingyun could ask, Abao continued:

"The vegetarian food in Ganfo City is very famous; although it's mostly vegetarian food, it's incredibly delicious!"

This piqued everyone's interest, and they decided to visit Jinchan Temple and have a vegetarian meal. After eating the same flatbread for days, it was time for a change.

Three days later, Lingyun and his group arrived in Ganfu City and headed straight for Jinchan Temple.

Jinchan Temple is located on Lingyu Mountain, south of Ganfo City. The best vegetarian food is found at Jinchan Temple.

Accommodation is also available there, but because Jinchan Temple contains supreme Buddhist charm, staying here can bring clarity of mind and relaxation of body and mind.

Therefore, the price for one night's stay is particularly expensive, requiring 30,000 spirit stones per person.

Therefore, not many people have the means to live in Jinchan Temple.

However, for Ling Yun and his group, spirit stones were not a problem.

Jinchan Temple is off-limits to the public, so people can only walk to the temple from the foot of the mountain. Lingyun and his group slowly made their way to the top of the mountain.

The mountain path is three zhang wide. Walking along the path and listening to the Buddhist chants brings peace to one's mind.

The mist slowly drifting down from the mountaintop has a soothing and comforting smell.

Upon arriving at the main hall of Jinchan Temple at the mountaintop, Abao and the others immediately bought incense and paid their respects to the Buddha.

Although those who cultivate Taoism do not need the protection of Buddha, the influence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is unparalleled in both the cultivation world and the mortal world, and even cultivators cannot escape this influence.

After paying their respects to Buddha, Ling Yun and his group went to the backyard, handed over the spirit stones, and prepared to stay there for the night.

It was already getting dark, and it was lunchtime.

Abao smiled and looked at everyone:

"Tonight's vegetarian feast will be on Young Master Bao's plate!"

"Wow~ Brother Abao looks so handsome and dignified~"

Lingxi immediately clapped her hands in agreement and jumped into Abao's arms.

Upon arriving at the dining hall in the backyard, everyone found a private room to sit down.

Soon the vegetarian feast was served. All eighteen dishes were green, which looked unappetizing, but smelled delicious.

Yan Ruyu picked up a piece of green vegetable and stuffed it into Lingxi's mouth.

"tasty!"

Everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
