But who wouldn't want Guanyin's guidance?
If he had a choice, Li Changzhou would rather not receive guidance and have Guanyin leave his head instead, but now that she's already inside, what can he say? He can only enjoy it.
“Bodhisattva,” Li Changzhou asked directly, “what is this ‘ancient god’ you mentioned before?”
Upon hearing the words "ancient god," Guanyin's expression turned solemn.
“I don’t know what it is either,” she pondered. “Once it appears in the heavens, it begins to devour everything—spiritual energy, flesh and blood, matter, and all things in the human world become its power.”
"If that's the case, how did the Bodhisattva defeat her back then?" Li Changzhou asked curiously.
"Defeat?" Guanyin shook her head. "It was merely a repulsion. Guanyin Temple sealed her away, and you used your magic power as a price to repel her. Your magic power is profound, more than twice that of a first-class immortal. She has been holding a grudge against you ever since she gave you a single glance."
“I am not cursed,” Li Changzhou said with certainty.
"Where is the curse? Remembering your aura is enough, but you and she are too far apart, and you are now seriously injured and your magic power is weak, so she has difficulty locating you. But as your magic power recovers, you will become more conspicuous in the world, and she will know your exact location more clearly."
"In my estimation, once your magic power is fully restored, she will be able to find you in less than two months."
Two months...
It took Li Changzhou a full eight months to grow to his current level. What can you do in two months? You can't even surpass Guanyin.
Guanyin could only repel the ancient god—and that was only a part of the ancient god's will!
“Bodhisattva,” Li Changzhou raised his gaze, “just how powerful are the ancient gods?”
Guanyin shook her head: "When I repelled her, I only saw a dense array of diamond-shaped eyes. I couldn't even see her true form. But with just that one glance, I, who could have retained my Arhat status, died and faced the calamity. If it weren't for the remaining nectar in the jade bottle, I wouldn't even have been able to reincarnate."
"Densely packed?" Li Changzhou carefully confirmed.
"Not really, but it's very imposing, probably... tens of thousands."
"......"
Damn, one eye is S-rank? And the ancient god's true form has tens of thousands of eyes?
So, the one who fought Guanyin back then was just one of the tens of thousands of eyes of the ancient gods? And the one now eyeing her is very likely just one of them?
If its eyes are this powerful, how strong must the ancient god's true form be?
No, that's not right.
Li Changzhou realized something was wrong.
If the ancient gods are really that powerful, why would the game arrange for Si to explore them?
It seems that it is really necessary to go to the Divine Will Great Wall, not only to get rid of Guanyin as soon as possible, but also for my own sake.
Just then, Yang Qinglan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
“You go first,” Guanyin said. “Before my reincarnation, I will stay here to help you resolve the crisis of the ancient gods, as a way of thanking you.”
"Okay." Li Changzhou stood up.
Then, with a large hand, it was placed on Guanyin's head: "Pointing to the sky is Kun, the wheel of life and death, the cycle of reincarnation!"
......
"You're the first person in history to dare touch my head."
“No rush,” Li Changzhou withdrew his hand. “I’m almost done with the Divine Soul Mountain. I’ll try it again next time.”
His figure slowly disappeared, and his consciousness returned to his body.
"Remember," came Guanyin's voice, "No one else can know about me."
Li Changzhou opened his eyes to bright sunshine, melodious birdsong, and the scent of fresh grass. The strange events of the past seemed like a dream.
[Is this your inner world? No, you're still a celestial being, or perhaps a natural grotto?]
It seems it wasn't a dream.
Li Changzhou dumped the entire Honey Pot World and his gaming experiences along the way (not to mention romance) onto Guanyin—after all, once he became a Human Tribulation, the whole world was studying him, so it didn't matter whether he was exposed or not.
Giving it to Guanyin also has one advantage: it allows her to better guide him.
"Changzhou, come here," Yang Qinglan called from afar.
Before Li Changzhou even got close, he could smell a medicinal fragrance.
A large wooden tub sits under the shade of a tree, with several flames floating on the surface of the liquid inside, like tiny fireballs, heating the water to just the right temperature.
"Brother, drink your medicine," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.
"What kind of medicine? So much of it?" Li Changzhou asked.
"I just refined it. After soaking in it, it can enhance the absorption of Qi Hui, which will last for about a day."
"Not bad, where did you get the recipe?"
This is their first elixir that can help immortals.
Now that we have Guanyin—if she really is Guanyin or intends to continue impersonating Guanyin, we shouldn't lack the pill formulas.
"I did the research myself."
"Huh?" Li Changzhou looked at the bubbling green liquid.
"It's alright, you are immune to all poisons, and your divine body can absorb all energy."
"But my life is still my life."
Yang Qinglan smiled and said, "Come on, let me help you take off your clothes."
Li Changzhou stripped down to his underwear—Yaochi and Li Qianxia were deep inside the tree trunk, soaking in a large bathtub made from the trunk of a giant tree, carrying a faint and pleasant woody scent.
A surge of heat enters the body, enveloping the entire body. Air currents flow alternately through the limbs and bones, causing sensations of warmth, coolness, itching, or numbness.
It's like eating watermelon in summer, eating crabs and admiring the moon on an autumn night, roasting sweet potatoes around a stove on a snowy day, or feeling the warm breeze in a rapeseed field in spring—it's indescribably comfortable.
Besides the Great Wall of Divine Will, you can also visit the Special Operations Bureau to see what items can help in dealing with the Ancient Gods.
If the situation becomes extremely dangerous, you can light a candle.
The black mist is also a path, but it didn't make a move last time in the Song Dynasty. Will it do it now?
The black mist I transformed into is no good; it will definitely be dispelled with a single glance, and I will be killed the instant I revert to my original form. Last time, it was because of a premonition that I did not use the black mist and instead became a vampire.
Where did this premonition come from?
Nothing happens without a reason; every effect has a cause—is it a simple life-or-death crisis? Or is the black mist giving him a warning?
What exactly is the black mist? Will there be any new changes after becoming an Earth Immortal?
If I were to undergo a fourth physical enhancement, could I rely on my physical body to resist one of the ancient gods' eyes? But how would I train my divine body?
Li Changzhou's body relaxed, and his mind followed suit, his thoughts drifting and wandering.
The wind blows, and the shadows of the trees sway on his handsome face, making one momentarily think he is submerged at the bottom of the deep sea.
What kind of cultivation are you doing? Quickly cripple the Chaos Yang Serpent and the Giant Kun.
'This guy really is an undercover agent of the ancient god, here to disturb my mind and prepare for the descent of the ancient god's will.' Li Changzhou came back to his senses and began cultivating the 'Divine Soul of Buzhou Mountain'.
