Li Daoyi, who comes from a Taoist background, goes into the mountains to look for the green ox he has raised since childhood and accidentally transmigrates to the world of The Smiling, Proud Wander...
"Brother Daoyi, that person is following behind us!" On the ox's back, Mengmeng looked back and then whispered.
"It's alright, let him be!" Li Daoyi said, patting the little guy's head.
As Kunpeng flew, he pondered the origins of the person before him. He, a quasi-saint, could not see through him, and the person had seen through his true form at a glance. Now that the other party was going to Biyou Palace to find Tongtian Sage, he was quite curious and followed him.
Not long after, Li Daoyi stopped, his eyes emitting a faint golden light. The golden light shot forward, and a series of precious lights appeared in the previously empty sky. Gradually, a huge island appeared floating in the air, and many buildings could be vaguely seen on the island. Wisps of smoke flowed from the island, and cranes circled in the air. The scenery was magnificent. Biyou Palace had arrived.
This is Biyou Palace, which is usually hidden away and not easily seen by ordinary people.
"We've arrived," Li Daoyi said softly.
"Mmm." Mengmeng nodded excitedly, her eyes flashing with images of countless delicious foods.
"Hey..."
A voice came from afar, followed by a beam of white light.
Li Daoyi patted Niu Er, and the green ox stopped. Not far behind, the Kunpeng also transformed into human form and stopped.
A white light quickly flew over, revealing a figure. This person was dressed in green brocade robes, slightly plump, and most notably, had two long ears on his head.
"This is Biyou Palace. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach," the man said.
"Pfft..."
"Giggle giggle..."
At this moment, Mengmeng burst into laughter as if she had seen something funny.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this person had two enormous front teeth when he opened his mouth, which was quite amusing.
"Who do we have here? It's you, Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang," Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Hmph, since you know who I am, why don't you get lost?"
The one who arrived was Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, one of the Seven Immortals who served under Tongtian. He was originally a rabbit demon from the primordial world. When Tongtian founded the Jie Sect, he was among the first to join and his status in the sect was second only to the four disciples.
Dingguangxian held his head high with arrogance, looking smug and completely disregarding Li Daoyi.
"Tch..." Upon seeing this, the Kunpeng behind him immediately revealed a disdainful expression. If this guy hadn't been protected by Tongtian, he would have died hundreds of times over.
"I'm here to see the Tongtian Sect Leader," Li Daoyi said casually, not wanting to lower himself to his level.
"Bold."
Unexpectedly, Dingguang Xian roared as if he had been insulted.
"How dare you address my master by his name?"
"Go back and report that an old friend from Chaoge has come to visit," Li Daoyi said, suppressing his anger.
"No, no! So many people come to see my master every day. If they all report to him, wouldn't that annoy him to death? Get out of here before I lose my temper! And you, what are you looking at? I'm talking to you. What are you doing cowering in the back? You get out too!" Dingguang Xian scolded, and also cursed Kunpeng behind him.
"Ha..." Li Dao was amused by the situation.
He patted Niu Er on the back, and Niu Er got up and flew towards Biyou Palace.
Upon seeing this, Dingguangxian flashed, accompanied by the phantom image of a rabbit, and slapped his palm down towards Li Daoyi.
"Want to go over there? Your Rabbit Lord won't allow it."
"So noisy..."
"Smack..."
Li Daoyi roared and slapped the flying Dingguangxian across the face.
"Whoosh..."
The powerful impact sent him flying, crashing towards Biyou Palace behind him.
The Kunpeng behind him saw this scene and couldn't help but twitch its face.
"You damned rabbit, I wasn't going to bother with you, but you dare to court death," Li Daoyi said coldly.
"Boom..."
Dingguangxian crashed to the ground, causing a tremor in Biyou Palace. Countless disciples flew over.
"Ah, senior brother, what's wrong?"
"Uncle-Master Dingguang."
In a huge, deep pit, Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal lay sprawled out, foaming at the mouth and with his eyes rolled back; he was already unconscious.
Several disciples hurriedly jumped down and carried him out.
"What happened?"
At that moment, several more figures flew over.
There was one man and three women. The man was tall and handsome, with an imposing presence. The three female immortals were also incredibly beautiful. When the crowd saw them arrive, they all bowed in greeting.
"Senior Brother Duobao, senior sisters, it's Senior Brother Dingguang. We don't know how he fell from the sky and landed here," a disciple said.
"Hmm?" The man was none other than Daoist Duobao, the vice leader of the Jie Sect and Tongtian's eldest disciple. The other three were Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Guiling Shengmu.
"Who dares to be so bold?" Duobao's expression changed slightly, and then he looked towards the sky.
Soon they saw Li Daoyi and his group slowly flying towards them.
Just as Duobao was about to fly up and question them, a surge of energy appeared behind them, and everyone quickly turned around and knelt down.
Above a magnificent building, a towering figure slowly emerged.
"Greetings, Master." All the cultivators in the entire Biyou Palace bowed in greeting.
"Useless." Tongtian glanced at Dingguangxian, who was slumped on the ground, and coldly cursed.
“Master, Junior Brother Dingguang…” Duobao cupped his hands, wanting to explain something, but Tongtian stopped him.
"No need to say more, I know everything. He only knows how to use my name to show off his power, and he never puts his mind on cultivation. He's lucky he didn't die this time. Guards, drag him away and lock him up. He is not to be released without my order."
After saying that, Tongtian pointed at Dingguangxian on the ground and instantly sealed his cultivation.
He wouldn't normally be so angry, but he sensed Li Daoyi's arrival early today and was happily preparing to greet him. However, Dingguangxian flew away, so he decided to check on him. But this guy was arrogant and disrespectful, while Li Daoyi was initially very polite. That's why Tongtian was angry. Even if Dingguangxian were killed on the spot by Li Daoyi, he wouldn't feel sorry for him.
"Yes." Soon, several disciples stepped out from the crowd and carried the unconscious Dingguangxian away.
"Come with me," Tongtian then said to his four disciples.
"Yes, Master."
The group immediately flew out of Biyou Palace.
"Haha, fellow Daoist, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you."
Tongtian burst into laughter, his joy overflowing, which astonished his four disciples behind him, who gaped in surprise.
"There was a slight delay on the way," Li Daoyi said with a smile and a nod.
"Hey, what brings you here too?" At this moment, Tongtian saw the Kunpeng behind Li Daoyi.
"Ahem, what's wrong? You don't welcome me?" Kunpeng asked.
After all, they were beings from the same era, and Tongtian didn't put on airs of a saint in front of Kunpeng. Moreover, it seemed that the two were quite familiar with each other.
"Hehe, we saw him on the way, and after we revealed his identity, he followed us," Mengmeng quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Tongtian instantly understood that the old man must have become suspicious of Li Daoyi's identity, which was why he followed him.
"Why haven't you paid your respects to the senior yet?" Tongtian then said to his disciples behind him.
"Greetings, senior." The four quickly bowed. But they were inwardly shocked.
"Alright, alright, no need for formalities." Li Daoyi naturally guessed that the four people in front of him were Tongtian's four disciples, all of whom were quasi-saints.
"I was a little too heavy-handed just now, I apologize." Li Daoyi then bowed to Tongtian.
"Oh, no need. I saw what just happened. It's my fault for not teaching the disciples properly. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist," Tongtian quickly said.
"please."
Then he gestured towards Biyou Palace.
The group then flew back to Biyou Palace.
"As expected of a sacred place, very impressive," Li Daoyi praised.
"Look, there are so many fairy fruits over there!" Mengmeng said, pointing to the mountain.
"Haha, Duobao, take some men and pick some of the various magical fruits on the island for Mengmeng to try," Tongtian laughed.
"Yes," Duobao replied hastily. He then turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Just then, Mengmeng called out to him.
"Hmm?" Duobao looked at Mengmeng, puzzled.
"I want lots and lots!" the little guy gestured.
"Yes, yes, more, more." Tongtian realized that the girl in front of him was no ordinary little girl. Her appetite would make even Taotie admit defeat.
"Niu Er, you stay outside!" Li Daoyi said to the blue ox beside him.
"Moo..." The blue ox nodded and lay down directly.
Tongtian looked at the blue ox with some surprise, as he hadn't seen it when he went to Chaoge last time.
“His name is Niu Er,” Li Daoyi said with a smile.
“This is Xiao Hei,” Mengmeng said, kicking the black Qilin beside her feet.
"Incredible! I can't even see through the origins of this ox dwelling," Tongtian said.
Li Dao smiled without saying a word; in fact, even he didn't understand what was going on with his ox.
Soon the group entered the palace, which was filled with purple mist, making it seem as if staying there long enough could lead to immortality. This was the place where Tongtian cultivated.
The Tongtian Hall is a place where, apart from the four gatekeepers and the seven attendant immortals, no one is allowed to approach at will.
"Since leaving Kunlun, I have settled here. Occasionally I will move the palace to other places, but it is basically in the North Sea, since most of my disciples were born here," Tongtian said with a smile.
“Yes, I know.” Li Dao nodded. Among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi and Tongtian have always been at odds and can’t stand each other. It was precisely because of this that Tongtian abandoned Kunlun and moved Biyou Palace to the North Sea.
"Come, come, please take a seat."
Tongtian called out and pulled Li Daoyi to his throne, where a seat had been prepared in advance.
"Thank you," Li Daoyi said with a smile.
Duobao and the others below were even more shocked. Just who was this person? Why did Tongtian take him so seriously? Could he be an existence at the level of Zhenyuanzi the Great Immortal?
"hey-hey…"
Just then, Mengmeng suddenly started circling around Daoist Duobao, looking him up and down.
Duobao looked confused, but still managed a smile.
“I think I’ve seen you before,” Mengmeng said.
"Hmm, no, it doesn't seem like it's you." The little guy then shook his head.
Everyone looked at the little guy with puzzled expressions.
"Alright, kid, stop talking nonsense and come here quickly," Li Daoyi called out hurriedly.
"slightly…"
Mengmeng made a face at Duobao, then ran back to Li Daoyi's side.
Li Daoyi was also somewhat suspicious. Could it be that Mengmeng had seen the Buddha? Did he see something from the Buddha statues he had seen before?
Opinions on Duobao Daoist are mixed. Unlike Dingguang Xian, who actively betrayed the sect, Duobao fought to the very last moment before being captured by the Sage. However, it is unknown what happened in between. As the vice leader of the Jie Sect, he actually defected to the West. This is something that Li Daoyi finds very puzzling. Especially after seeing Duobao in person, he is even more certain that things are not so simple.
