Lian Yao returned to the Dao Palace, only to be captured and taken back by Bai Ze.
Before creating his own world, he must travel to various realms to understand the laws of nature in other worlds and use them as a reference.
Those present are all deities of their own great worlds. We should inform them in advance so that they can take care of us during our travels.
Of course, given his status as a disciple of the Ancestral God and Bai Ze's popularity in various realms, these deities would more or less take care of Lian Yao.
At the banquet, Lian Yao was surrounded by the gods and immortals, but he was thinking about Sister Tree, whom he had met that day.
One moment I wondered what his origins were, the next I wondered if he would obediently go home, and then I thought that there were many demons on Ancestral God Mountain, and he was so innocent, what if he was tricked by bad demons on his way back and had his cultivation absorbed?
The immortal lords present were still vying to invite Lian Yao to visit their worlds, while some immortal lords who had not yet established their own worlds were showing off their abilities before him, hoping to become his followers and cultivate in the worlds under his control in the future.
Lian Yao gave a perfunctory reply and then left, saying he had to go back to prepare for his journey to the lower realm.
After Lian Yao left, Bai Ze apologized to the gods and immortals, saying, "Junior Brother is focused on cultivation and not good at conversation, so he has neglected you all."
The immortals all said it was alright.
Besides meeting the legendary Lotus Radiance God, this grand gathering also had another purpose: to exchange information and resources with fellow practitioners present.
The gods don't usually move around easily, they are isolated from information, and the worlds they govern produce different things. They usually take advantage of these large gatherings to exchange resources.
They could trade with peace of mind within the Dao Palace's barrier.
This is why, whenever there is a large gathering or event, all sorts of deities will come together unless they have something particularly urgent to attend to.
It's not about joining in the fun or crashing a banquet!
Of course, one particular monkey is an exception.
The immortals were drinking and discussing the Dao when suddenly a disheveled immortal emerged from the teleportation array in front of the Dao Palace and knelt down before Bai Ze.
"Please, God, save me!"
...
After leaving the banquet, Lian Yao stuffed all his belongings into the Void Mirror, left a letter for his senior brother, and then departed.
He wanted to meet Sister Tree as soon as possible so she could teach him to speak and guide him in his cultivation.
Since he became conscious, he has been cultivating step by step in accordance with his master's arrangements.
This was the first time he had ever been so eager to do something.
So anxious that the restlessness that usually disturbed his peace of mind didn't bother him at all this time.
After stepping out of the Dao Palace's barrier, Lian Yao looked at the empty mountains and fields, only then remembering that he and Sister Shu had agreed to meet again tomorrow.
Lian Yao couldn't help but chuckle. He had been so reckless. If his senior brother found out, he would definitely say something.
Now that he was out, he didn't plan to go back.
He walked to the spot where the two had parted ways, and suddenly, something hard pressed against his foot.
Lian Yao looked down and saw a skeleton.
That was the bone of a rodent; judging by its size, it must have been a sentient being.
With a wave of his hand, Lian Yao sent a bone flying into his hand, still carrying a faint smell of blood.
This rat spirit has obviously only been dead for a short time!
A wisp of resentment clung to the bones; this rat spirit died unjustly!
Oh no, Sister Tree might be in danger!
Lian Yao was startled and was about to use his divine sense to search his surroundings when he was suddenly hugged from behind.
"Lian Yao!"
Lian Yao was stunned for a moment, then realized that the person behind him was Sister Tree.
Everyone he had ever met since childhood was very dignified and polite, and they were all very courteous and respectful to him. No one had ever dared to hug him like that.
This was the first time he had ever been so intimate with someone. With his strong arms wrapped around him and a warm chest pressed against his back, Lian Yao felt a strange tingling sensation flowing through his heart. It was extremely strange.
Lian Yao's face flushed red. He tried to break free a few times, but failed. Instead, Sister Shu wrapped her arms around him even tighter.
Her heart pounded faster and faster. Lian Yao blushed and turned her head, saying, "Sister Shu, let go of me, you're squeezing me too tight..."
Sister Shu's face was originally close to his ear, and when Lian Yao turned his head to speak, he also happened to look up, and their lips just happened to touch.
Lian Yao was completely stunned, her beautiful eyes wide open as if she had seen something unbelievable.
After a moment of stunned silence, Sister Tree seemed to have discovered something amusing and began to kiss and nibble on his lips.
Lian Yao suddenly pushed him away.
His face flushed red, filled with embarrassment and annoyance. "What are you doing?"
Sister Tree blinked her innocent big eyes at him.
Lian Yao couldn't bring herself to say anything to rebuke him.
He didn't understand anything; he just thought it was fun.
Lian Yao mentally found an excuse to excuse Sister Shu's offensive behavior.
"Don't do this kind of thing next time. This kind of thing is only something you can do with your future Daoist partner," Lian Yao said, calming his racing heart and trying to speak in a calm tone.
"A Daoist partner?" Sister Tree's face showed a puzzled expression again.
Lian Yao nodded and explained to him in simple terms: "A Daoist partner is someone you have to be with all the time, never separating from each other, and the two of you are like one person."
Sister Tree's eyes lit up, and she took his hand, saying, "Lianyao, Sister Tree, we're Daoist partners!"
Lian Yao blushed so deeply that her face almost bled.
"You! We are not!"
"We're Daoist partners!" Tree Sister seemed angry, and suddenly hugged him tightly, emanating a terrifying aura.
Lian Yao looked at him in surprise, "You..."
Sister Tree ignored him and kept repeating in his ear, "We are Daoist partners, we are Daoist partners, we are Daoist partners!"
Lian Yao was both amused and exasperated by his string of childish, repetitive words. The sudden change in his demeanor just now seemed to be merely his illusion.
But Sister Tree wouldn't let go of him, so Lian Yao could only coax him by saying, "You're still young and don't know what love is yet, so you can't become a Daoist couple."
"Love and affection?" Sister Tree was a little confused by his endless stream of new words, but he still wouldn't let go of her. "Teach me!"
"Alright, I'll teach you slowly. Let go of me first. We need to leave here quickly. I ran away from here. If my senior brother finds out and catches me again, it will be terrible!" Lian Yao said.
"No..." Sister Tree narrowed her eyes, not saying the rest of her words, but simply releasing him as instructed.
Lian Yao took him and rode away on a cloud.
He was so preoccupied with what had just happened that he didn't notice that Sister Tree had secretly taken off the communication jade pendant from his waist and thrown it on the ground.
Although she doesn't understand many things, Sister Tree isn't stupid.
He clearly remembered that it was because that thing kept flashing that Lian Yao abandoned him yesterday.
As long as that thing isn't there, Lianyao won't want to leave her.
Sister Tree thought.
...
The main hall of the Taoist palace was in complete chaos.
The gods and immortals gathered around the suddenly appearing Spirit Gathering Immortal Lord, listening to him recount his experiences.
"At first, it was Tianyin Shenjun, who was on good terms with me, who asked me for help. He said that a great demon had appeared out of nowhere, killed his followers, and seized several small worlds that his followers controlled. He wanted my help to capture that demon together."
"Besides me, the Heavenly Sound Divine Lord also invited dozens of fellow immortal lords. Who knew that the great demon's magic power was extremely evil, and anyone's magic power would be completely absorbed by it when it touched its demonic body."
"In that battle, the Heavenly Sound God was defeated and we immortal lords scattered and fled. In the chaos, we saw it devour all the worlds under the Heavenly Sound God's control. Then, following the aura left by us immortal lords when we fought it, it came one by one and killed and devoured us."
"Of the fifty-four immortal lords who went to support the Heavenly Sound God Lord that day, only the Guangyan Immortal Lord and I remain now!"
Upon hearing this, all the gods and immortals wore solemn expressions.
Several people even glanced at the Monkey King.
The last time an evil demon caused chaos and turned the world upside down, it was this Monkey King. It was only after the ancestral god Honglin intervened that he was able to suppress it.
However, the Monkey King is immortal, so Honglin could only seal him in the Dao Palace, making him receive the baptism of heavenly music day and night until he repented, attained enlightenment, and resolved to descend to the mortal world to save the world and become a god.
Bai Ze hurriedly had someone check the list of absent guests and discovered that not only Tianyin Shenjun, but also eight other Shenjun and dozens of Xianjun were absent.
If these gods and immortals are also harmed by that great demon, and the worlds they rule are devoured, then the calamity of this evil demon will be far greater than that of the Monkey King before!
"Do you know what kind of monster it is?" someone asked the Spirit Gathering Immortal Lord.
The Spirit Gathering Immortal shook his head and said, "I have never seen that demon reveal its true form, but it is skilled at using vines to attack, so it should be a vine demon or a tree demon."
Upon hearing this, all the gods and immortals looked at the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers.
The Goddess of a Hundred Flowers shook her head: "The Flower Realm is strictly guarded; this demon did not come from my Flower Realm."
The origins of the evil spirits were unknown and mysterious, causing the expressions of the gods to grow increasingly solemn.
Bai Ze asked, "Does that demon have any other characteristics?"
Juling Immortal frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Yes! Before attacking anyone they meet for the first time, the demon says, 'Where are my flowers?' I don't know what it means, but if you don't answer, or if your answer doesn't satisfy it, it will kill and devour you directly."
What an evil monster!
They actually killed gods and seized the realm without a word!
"Where are my flowers? What does this mean? Could it be that someone picked the flowers from the tree?" the Goddess of Flowers murmured.
Peony Fairy, the head of the twelve flower fairies under the Goddess of Flowers, also said, "Since it can bloom, it might be a flower demon."
Juling Immortal Lord said with a bitter smile, "Now that all of our fellow Daoists have perished, only Guangyan Immortal Lord and I remain. We have no other choice but to come to the Dao Palace for help and ask Bai Ze Divine Lord to save us."
Bai Ze said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will immediately send a message to my fellow disciples to help you guard the boundary. This talisman can directly teleport you to the Dao Palace. If you are truly outmatched, use this talisman to retreat to the Dao Palace and then make further plans."
Bai Ze handed him two talismans, one to himself and the other to be passed on to Immortal Lord Guangyan.
Seeing how thoughtful Bai Ze was, all the gods praised him for his noble character.
One of the immortal lords said worriedly, "If this scourge is truly wreaking havoc throughout the chaos, then Lord Lianyao's travels should be postponed for a while, in case we encounter it..."
The Goddess of a Hundred Flowers hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Begonia, go to the Dao Palace quickly and tell Lianyao about this!"
Bai Ze said, "There's no need to trouble Fairy Haitang. I'll send word to my junior brother to come over right away."
As he spoke, he channeled his divine sense into the jade pendant at his waist.
After a moment, he said in confusion, "Strange, the jade tablet is no longer on Lian Yao."
At this moment, a Daoist palace attendant rushed over and said, "Lord Bai Ze, something terrible has happened! Lord Lian Yao has disappeared. Only this item was left on the table in his room."
The page boy presented a dark green branch.
Upon seeing the tree branch, the Spirit Gathering Immortal Lord was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, pointing at it with a horrified expression and exclaiming, "It's it! It's the one! It's found us!"
"!!!"
