After Jin Guangxian kowtowed in thanks, Hu Le merely nodded slightly, his expression showing indifference.
He came not to seek Jin Guangxian's gratitude, but to do something at the request of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
Hu Le waved his hand and said calmly, "Alright! You are now free and can go to Biyou Palace to pay your respects to Fellow Daoist Tongtian."
Jin Guangxian knelt down and kowtowed again to express his deepest respect and gratitude.
As he stood up, he glared sharply at Guanyin, as if trying to convey the resentment in his heart.
Without hesitation, he transformed into a beam of light and shot straight eastward.
Guanyin Bodhisattva witnessed all of this, and although she was dissatisfied, she was helpless.
After all, this was the arrangement of the cult leader and saint, and she was powerless to change it.
Even when her own mount was released, she could only accept it silently.
Faced with the saint's majesty, she felt an irresistible pressure, and didn't even have the right to complain.
If the sage intended to, even if he turned her into a mount, she would have no way to resist.
This is the involuntary sorrow one feels when facing a sage.
"You should go too."
At this moment, Hu Le spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva dared not delay for the slightest and quickly bowed and took her leave.
She knew full well how formidable the person before her was, and dared not offend him lightly.
After receiving permission, she quickly left and disappeared into the horizon.
After the Pure Void Moral True Lord and other Guanyins departed, they turned to Hu Le and bid him farewell.
Hu Le didn't make things difficult for him either. He waved his hand and let Qingxu leave.
Qingxu felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He took a few steps away and then transformed into a beam of light, disappearing in a flash.
...
Outside Bianliang City, the killings continued, and became increasingly brutal.
One after another, the second-generation immortals and gods of the Chan Sect threw themselves into this life-or-death struggle.
At the same time, the Eight Immortals of Shangdong from the Human Sect were not to be outdone, and they all entered the arena to find their opponents.
However, although both the Human and Chan sects were great sects in the primordial world, their strength was still slightly inferior to that of Buddhism.
Especially under the current circumstances, Buddhism is not only powerful on its own, but also has the assistance of the demon race, which makes the situation of both religions even more difficult.
Seeing one defeat after another in the battles, with the number of losses far exceeding the number of victories, the Ren and Chan sects had no choice but to temporarily gather their troops and retreat to their camp.
Guang Chengzi summoned Jiang Ziya and ordered him to go to the outer heavens.
After receiving his orders, Jiang Ziya rode on auspicious clouds and left the military camp, passing through the Thirty-Three Heavens and heading straight for Chaos.
Before long, they arrived outside the Mi Luo Heaven, then entered the Jade Void Palace and met the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
"Greetings, teacher."
Jiang Ziya prostrated himself in worship.
"Ziya, why are you here instead of helping the King of Yan conquer the tyrannical and incompetent ruler of Bianliang?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked calmly.
“Reporting to Master, I have come here on the orders of my senior brother Guang Chengzi to pay my respects to you,” Jiang Ziya replied.
"Oh? What did he send you here for?" Yuanshi Tianzun continued to ask.
Jiang Ziya replied, "Reporting to my teacher, Zhao Rui's army has already reached the gates of Bianliang City and is about to break through and overthrow the tyrannical and incompetent ruler within the city."
Unfortunately, that tyrannical ruler invited the Buddhas of Mount Ling and the demon race to help him.
Their power was considerable. My fellow disciples and I fought against them for some time, but none of us were a match for them.
We hope our teacher can personally descend to earth and help us defeat them.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly.
“Though they are fierce, they are already destined for the Investiture of the Gods. It is not unreasonable for me to go down the mountain.” Yuanshi Tianzun immediately agreed.
Jiang Ziya was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Then this disciple will go back first and have my senior brothers make preparations to welcome our master."
"You can do as you please."
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya bowed and then left the main hall.
Then he left the Miro Heaven and returned to the human world...
Yuanshi Tianzun went to the back hall to collect several spiritual treasures and left the Mi Luo Heaven. However, he did not go to the Primordial World immediately, but went to the Great Crimson Heaven instead.
He had just arrived outside the Great Crimson Heaven when he saw the Golden Horned Boy already waiting there.
"Greetings, Lord Yuanshi."
The Golden Horned Boy stepped forward, bowed, and greeted him.
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, stepped down from the chariot, and was then invited into the Great Crimson Heaven by the Golden Horned Boy.
Upon entering the Eight Views Palace, one finds Laozi sitting regally on a high cloud bed.
"Senior Brother."
Yuanshi Tianzun stepped forward and bowed.
Laozi pointed to the side, and a cloud platform rose out of thin air.
"sit."
Thank you.
Yuanshi Tianzun stepped onto the cloud platform and sat down cross-legged.
Silver Horned Boy personally served a cup of fragrant tea to the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
After Yuanshi Tianzun finished drinking, Taishang Laojun asked him the purpose of his visit.
"Why are you here instead of enjoying peace and quiet in Jade Void Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun began to speak of matters concerning the human world.
Finally, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "...I wish to ask my eldest brother to come down the mountain with me to help the Buddhist sect and the demon race to fulfill their calamities, so I have come to inquire about your opinion."
Laozi laughed and said, "Heaven has its own destiny, and we should indeed go down the mountain."
"That's excellent."
Yuanshi Tianzun responded, his face showing neither sorrow nor joy.
Clearly, he knew very well that if he came to invite Laozi, Laozi would definitely not refuse...
"Brother, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Laozi got up, slowly got off his cloud bed, went to the back hall, took the Taiji Diagram and other treasures, and then returned to the main hall.
"Alright! Let's go down to the mortal realm now."
As Laozi walked slowly out, he greeted Yuanshi Tianzun.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun rose and descended from the cloud platform, then slowly followed.
The two leaders immediately walked slowly out of the main hall.
"Boy, go and bring the ox here."
Laozi stood in front of the palace gate and gave instructions to the Golden Horned Boy who was standing beside him.
"yes."
The boy agreed and quickly walked towards the backyard.
Before long, he led his sturdy blue ox to the foot of the steps.
Laozi, leaning on his cane, descended ninety-nine steps, then lightly boarded the ox's back.
Silver Horned Boy also brought the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage for the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable rose and mounted his chariot, slapping the flying chair. The Nine-Dragon Sandalwood Chariot trembled violently and then slowly headed towards the heavens.
Laozi gently lashed the ox's rump with his flat cane.
The blue ox bellowed and followed the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage, heading out of the palace side by side.
In the blink of an eye, the two leaders left the Great Crimson Heaven and entered the Chaos, heading straight for the primordial starry sky beyond the heavens...
Meanwhile, outside Bianliang City, in front of the Yan army camp, Guang Chengzi had already ordered his men to set up a reed shed, just waiting for the arrival of the two leaders.
As it turned out, they didn't have to wait long. In the afternoon, the sky suddenly opened up, and boundless purple and auspicious energy surged out from the light. Countless celestial flowers fluttered in the air.
Beautiful celestial music resounded in the void, and the sound of conch shells flowed between heaven and earth.
A short while later, Laozi, riding a green ox, and Yuanshi Tianzun, riding a golden chariot, slowly flew out from the depths of the heavenly light...
