With a blinding flash of light, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect vanished from the spot.
Only a desolate space remains.
There was also Laozi, and the somewhat somber figure of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
There was a moment of silence.
The Tongtian Sect Leader then came to his senses, turned around, and bowed to the Supreme Lord Laozi, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother Taiqing, for your help in rescuing me!"
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
Laozi put away his feather fan and waved his hand.
His expression remained calm and composed.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Then, he said in a calm tone, "Junior Brother Tongtian, once this matter is settled, we should return to Jin'ao Island as soon as possible."
"But Senior Brother Taiqing, aren't you worried if Senior Brother Yuqing goes to the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace to find our teacher?" Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but ask.
"When the wind comes, block it; when the water comes, cover it with earth."
Lao Tzu stroked his beard and smiled, showing no sign of worry.
"........"
The Master of Heaven was silent for a moment, and then said nothing more.
However, after thinking of Gu Xuan...
He looked at the nonchalant Taishang Laojun and asked, "Senior Brother Taiqing, who exactly is Gu Xuan? Why does he also possess the same Four Swords of Zhuxian as me, and even the long-lost Zhuxian Sword Formation!"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, junior brother. You should focus on your cultivation to prepare for the possible great calamity that may befall heaven and earth."
Lao Tzu smiled slightly.
Then his tone shifted, becoming somewhat meaningful.
"But all you need to know is that Gu Xuan is the one who broke through the tribulation."
"Understood, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Brother Taiqing."
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader, as if he had already understood. He then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Junior Brother, farewell!"
That's all.
He came as quickly as he came, and he left as quickly as he came.
Before long, only Lao Tzu remained in the sky above the canyon.
There was also his only disciple, Xuandu, and two golden boys and jade girls.
At this moment, Xuandu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Master, Gu Xuan is currently being chased by the three immortals of the Chan Sect. Should we intervene?"
"No need, he can handle it."
Laozi glanced in the east, his eyes flashing with an ambiguous meaning.
Then, he swiftly returned to the back of the blue ox, closed his eyes, and said, "Let's head back home."
"Yes, Master."
Xuandu glanced in Gu Xuan's direction with unease, then followed his master, Taishang Laojun, back to the Thirty-Third Heaven—Doushuai Palace.
......
at the same time.
Enraged, Tongtian Jiaozhu returned to Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain and threw the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect onto the ground.
He was about to scold the group for being so useless, unable to even defeat a mere immortal who had ascended from the lower realm less than a month ago.
They were even crippled and reduced to mortals; they're utterly useless!
Just then.
Suddenly, bursts of Buddhist light shone brightly outside the Jade Void Palace, and lotus flowers appeared out of thin air!
The next second.
A resounding Buddhist chant, as grand and majestic as a great bell, came from outside—
"Amitabha Buddha, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, this humble monk, Vairocana, has come uninvited. I hope you will appear before me!"
I heard that sound.
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and looked in the direction of the sound...
Suddenly, his gaze pierced through the void and he saw a large Buddha statue outside the Jade Void Palace, radiating golden light of merit.
Vairocana?
What is the leader of the Western Religion doing here?!
