Jinlian is not yours! You can't take her away!
Jinlian left Hongjun's cave with lightning speed. After confirming that he was not chasing her, she found a pool of water and quietly placed herself in it.
The kitten lazily yawned, stretched, and lay sprawled on the lotus seat. He was incredibly bored and missed Kunlun Mountain, and his older brothers whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Although he missed them, he wasn't in a hurry to go back. After all, the outside world was so much fun, and he wanted to go out for a drive again.
Sensing that the little cub Tongtian was a bit melancholy, the golden lotus slowly bloomed, revealing the kitten in the center of the lotus seat. The kitten curiously looked around at its surroundings, tentatively trying to go out and take a look, but was blocked.
The kitten, puzzled, squatted on the ground, tilting its head to examine the spiritual consciousness formed by the golden lotus. The spiritual consciousness gently patted its little head, coaxing the unhappy kitten.
My dear, we've been away for quite some time now, and it's time to go back to Kunlun. I'm sure your brother has realized his mistakes by now and is probably searching for you frantically. My dear, shall we take you back?
The kitten meowed sadly, indicating that it hadn't had enough fun and didn't want to go home yet. It missed the red embroidered ball its older brother had given it to play with QAQ
Doesn't the boy miss his older brothers? They're so worried about him, they're almost at each other's throats... Boy, are you sure you don't want to go back and try to talk to your older brother? Your second brother's going to get a beating...
The kitten immediately raised its little head and circled around Jinlian's spiritual consciousness anxiously, meowing uneasily with a hint of worry in its eyes. Second brother, is second brother alright?
Jinlian's spirit gently picked up the kitten and stroked its little head. The kitten seemed a little lost and meowed sadly twice, indicating that it didn't know what to do either. It really missed its older brothers, but it had run away from home in a fit of pique, and its brothers would be very angry...
It's okay, they'll understand your sadness and forgive you, my child. Don't be afraid, there's no need to be. With me here, no one will dare to do anything to you.
The kitten nodded, seemingly understanding, as if agreeing with Jinlian. It nestled obediently in her arms, its eyes half-closed in contentment, its little tail swaying gently. Before long, the kitten was purring happily, sleeping soundly.
"My little one is so good, so obedient." Jinlian happily shook the lotus leaf, lightly snapped her fingers, and the lotus leaf trembled and slowly rose. Just as it was about to escape into the sky, a ray of light flashing with auspicious seven-colored clouds suddenly enveloped it, rendering it unable to move.
Jinlian was surprised and used her spiritual sense to investigate. She was immediately furious. It turned out that an old Taoist had blocked her way and dared to try to control her. What a dream!
"Hmm? What is this?" The ragged Taoist priest curiously poked a golden lotus that had been captured by his Seven Treasures Tree. Observing the golden lotus that exuded infinite Taoist charm and feeling the golden light of merit that faintly flowed from it, his eyes immediately lit up and his face instantly became extremely happy.
It's the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit!!! One of the six supreme innate spiritual treasures born at the creation of the world, according to legend! Hahahaha, wouldn't it be wonderful to possess this Golden Lotus of Merit? At least this trip to the East wasn't in vain…
"This twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit in my temple is destined to be with my Western Paradise. Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, and it is probably unwilling to let my barren Western Paradise, where spiritual energy is scattered and it is difficult for any naturally formed treasures to descend to earth, so today it has given us this supreme opportunity... Golden lotus of merit, why don't you return quickly?" The tattered old Taoist priest proudly examined this lotus flower, which was a unique opportunity belonging to their Western Paradise. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he liked it, the more he wanted to have it.
The Golden Lotus of Merit ignored the old Taoist's ramblings and patiently continued to break through the suppression of the Seven Treasures Bodhi Tree. No wonder, its spatial suppression was so powerful that the Golden Lotus was helpless for a while.
The two sides were deadlocked. The ragged old Taoist priest continued to ramble on and on, his mouth dry from talking so much. When he saw that Jinlian was ignoring him, he broke down.
"In that case, I apologize for the inconvenience." The tattered old Taoist directly summoned the Seven Treasures Tree. The tree unfurled, and each of its several branches bore a magical treasure. These treasures shone brightly, and countless rare and precious items—gold, silver, lapis lazuli, glass, giant clam shell, red pearl, agate, and more—radiated strange power, converging into an incomparably powerful force that swiftly rushed towards the Twelfth-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit. In an instant, the lotus burst forth with dazzling golden light, blocking the attack that was capable of destroying the heavens and earth. The lotus petals, trembling wildly, emanated Daoist energy, and bolts of lightning powerful enough to suppress the Seven Treasures Tree also followed suit. Zhunti, unaware that his greed had almost triggered the lightning tribulation, stared at the beautiful lotus with a fascination and boundless greed, especially at the golden light of merit that could no longer be concealed from its body…
The Golden Lotus—what immense power of merit it possesses! If he could acquire it, it would not only greatly benefit his cultivation, but even boost his declining Western fortune… He must obtain it, no matter what…
The Golden Lotus of Merit knew the old Taoist priest's calculating expression and was furious. The frightened kitten woke up and lay helplessly in the center of the lotus seat, its little face full of fear. It sensed a malicious and disgusting aura from the old Taoist priest outside. The naive little kitten just felt an inexplicable dislike and instinctively hated the other party... Its longing for its older brothers grew stronger.
"Big brother, second brother, Tongtian is so scared. Someone wants to bully me..." The kitten looked aggrieved and helplessly shook the tip of its little tail, curled up into a ball, and looked fearfully at the figure outside whose face was almost distorted.
Brothers, brothers, where are you? There's a bad guy blocking Tongtian's way outside, preventing him from leaving. Can you come and drive him away? Tongtian is so scared... Meow~
Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, or perhaps it was a stroke of good fortune, but somehow, the supreme, domineering sword intent sealed within the little cat was awakened. The kitten suddenly felt his entire body burning hot, a powerful force wreaking havoc within him, churning his internal organs. He writhed on the ground in agony, his pitiful howls echoing everywhere. Jinlian panicked, abandoning her confrontation with the old Taoist priest. Her spiritual sense coalesced into a blurry figure, and she hastily landed beside the kitten. With a light touch of her fingertips, streams of merit slowly flowed into the kitten's body, finally calming him down. It wasn't in so much pain anymore, and it let out a weak "meow." Just then, a golden light flashed, and the kitten on the ground disappeared, replaced by a cub dressed in blue, with a lotus crown on its head. Its little face was filled with confusion. It hesitantly sat up, looking at its little hands, then at its clothes, confirming that it had returned to human form. It couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Finally back to human form! It was so hard... It's all my brother's fault for the pill; the side effects were so severe. I must never take it again. It won't kill me, but it's such a pain!" Recalling its every move when it was a kitten, the little cub covered its face in despair. It was so embarrassing... Its big brother was so mean! Not only did he keep it up for so long, but he also tried to trick it into calling him "teacher"...
Jinlian watched in astonishment as a faint blue light emanated from the cub, splitting in two. One beam swiftly flew away and quickly disappeared from sight, while the other transformed into a tattoo that slowly appeared on the cub's hand—a symbol of the King of Swords…
After trying to process the embarrassing experience of being walked like a cat, Tongtian the little cub calmed down and was surprised to find a sword mark on the back of his hand.
Qingping Sword, why are you out here too? Didn't I tell you not to come out? You really don't listen!
Qingping, being sentient, sensed her young master's complaining and displeasure. The tattoo on the back of her hand immediately lit up with a wronged expression, as if she were dissatisfied.
How could Qingping stand idly by when her master was in danger? Besides, her elder brothers Bianguai and Yuruyi had also instructed her not to be lazy and to protect her master's safety.
Tongtian, the little brat, facepalmed, not knowing how to complain about the fact that his older brothers' magical artifacts were secretly interacting with his Qingping Sword. It was just... speechless.
However, with the Qingping Sword, we might be able to fight that little thief. We must protect Jinlian no matter what!
"Jinlian, don't be afraid. Let me deal with that old Taoist outside." The little brat Tongtian patted his chest with great loyalty and decisively turned into a streak of green light and disappeared from the spot.
Jinlian is quite bald. Her son doesn't know what danger is; having been protected by his two older brothers since childhood, he's developed a fearless nature. Such impulsiveness might lead to trouble. We really need to keep a close eye on him!
The young Tongtian, full of arrogance, rushed up to the ragged old Taoist priest. Upon seeing the priest's nearly naked upper body and faded trousers, a strange expression crossed his face. The words he wanted to shout stuck in his throat, like a lump in his throat. He frowned, seriously considering the situation. This old Taoist was truly poor; he had never seen such an impoverished cultivator… If he attacked him, would that be considered bullying him? His elder brother had said that a gentleman should have the virtue of cherishing life and not indiscriminately kill the innocent. Hmm, that meant he couldn't attack? But the old Taoist was clearly bullying Jinlian; should he just stand by and do nothing?
"Who are you? Where are you from, brat?" Zhunti was completely bewildered, staring at the infant who had fallen from the sky. He was utterly baffled, yet the child possessed a considerable amount of merit. Could he also be part of the opportunity Heaven had bestowed upon the West? Zhunti felt as if he were dreaming, and in disbelief, he tugged at his cheek. Ouch, that hurt! It's real, it's really real!!! Hahaha, brother, we're going to be rich! With these two treasures, how could the West not prosper!
The little boy, Tongtian, took a step back in fear. Looking at the old Taoist priest whose face had changed color, he realized that he was still a child at heart and had lost his nerve. However, he was unwilling to admit defeat and still spoke defiantly.
"Why are you blocking my way, fellow Daoist? Isn't this going a bit too far?"
Fellow Daoist? How dare you accuse me so confidently? Is this brat some powerful being from some sect? Indeed, a promising talent. Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. He should be my disciple from the West! Whether it's Jinlian or this brat, I'll bring them all back to the West and teach them. Over time, they'll naturally forget their past lives. Why not add another powerful being to the West? His eyes darted around, and suddenly a plan came to mind.
"Young fellow Daoist, what makes you say that? It is clear that this golden lotus is destined for my Western Paradise. I am only following the will of Heaven and it is only right that I subdue this golden lotus. Do you think you can stop me?" He smiled and stared at the cub who was still staring blankly at him, and couldn't help but feel happy.
Wow, great natural features! Cute and with well-defined features, the more I look at her, the more I like her...
The little brat Tongtian never expected that this scoundrel would not only deny it but also turn around and accuse him. He got angry and shouted, "The Golden Lotus is not yours! You can't take it away!"
The smile on Zhunti's face gradually disappeared. He frowned, his face darkening, and he threatened, "Young fellow Daoist, don't try to argue. Move aside so that I can subdue this golden lotus. Why are you making excuses? If you don't move aside, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The little cub Tongtian stubbornly blocked Zhunti, who was several times stronger than him. His eyes were filled with defiance, and the King of Swords on the back of his hand was faintly glowing. The stinging sensation burned the cub's thoughts.
"What? Want a beating, you little brat?" Zhunti's face completely fell. Gripping the Seven Treasures Tree, he swung it directly at the little brat without any politeness. Actually, he didn't intend to hurt the little brat; he just wanted to scare this mischievous little dumpling. However, just as the dazzling light swept towards the little dumpling, the little brat let out an angry shout. With the shout, the sword mark on the back of his hand suddenly disappeared, then gathered in mid-air into a three-foot-long green blade. With a flash of sword light, the dazzling light was instantly annihilated before his eyes, without even a sound! Terrifying!
Zhunti: "..." Oh no, this seems to be a tough nut to crack? Could it be that he really has an extraordinary background? Perhaps he still has elders in his family? If his elders find out that I shamelessly attacked a cub, I'm afraid I'll be in deep trouble!
"You, leave! Otherwise I'll have Qingping Sword cut down your tree!" Tongtian brat was furious, glaring at the man in front of him who wanted to bully him, and said angrily.
The Qingping Sword, hovering above the head of the little Tongtian cub, seemed to sense something, its blade pointing directly at the enormous phantom clone of the Seven Treasures Tree suspended in mid-air, its threat self-evident.
Zhunti: "..." This is really a bit of a headache. I didn't expect the little cub to have such a weapon. It's obviously not going to be easy to deal with! Oh well, he decided not to hold the little dumpling's previous rudeness against him. After all, he still wanted to bring the cub back, cough, and convert him. He didn't want to make him feel unwilling.
“Young fellow Daoist, we can discuss this properly. Alas, I am unwilling to take away what is good for others and wish to help them achieve their goals. Since that is the case, very well, I will now take back the Seven Treasures Tree…”
Seeing the sudden relaxation on Tongtian's face, Zhunti was secretly pleased. He withdrew the Seven Treasures Tree clone, touched the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand, and a malicious smile flashed across his face...
The opportunity has arrived, now is the time!
