Chapter 859: Three Immortals Paying Homage to Qing Tong

"Greetings to the Honored God!"

Feeling the powerful spiritual charm condensed in the boy, several immortals bowed in greeting.

Chu Tai gently waved the Ruyi in his hand, and the clear air surged. He helped everyone up and continued to ask: "I haven't been to the mortal world for a long time, so I didn't know so many things happened in the mortal world. Please tell me something."

After hearing this, the immortals became even more afraid. After looking at each other, they started to take action.

In an instant, various colored lights such as snow-white, scarlet red, bright purple, pure green, and khaki appeared in the surrounding void, and ice and snow, flames, thunder, rosy clouds, and mountain shadows were derived.

After displaying their magical powers, several immortals turned into streams of light and flew away in different directions without looking back.

Although Chu Tai was surprised by the actions of several people, he simply raised the Ruyi in his hand. The void was like the surface of water, and ripples appeared as the Ruyi passed by.

Many magical powers came to an instant halt, and several immortals who were flying at the same time also returned to their original positions uncontrollably. What was interesting was that two of them overlapped and became one.

In the end, there were only three immortals left in front of Chu Tai.

Chu Tai still looked calm: "Can you tell me now?"

As he spoke, his eyes looked in the direction of the spirit fetus.

Chu Tai was already fully awake when the old monkey found the spiritual fetus. When the old monkey tried to take the spiritual fetus away, he deliberately showed an abnormal appearance and relied on the Five Elements Escape Technique to leave, leaving the empty shell of the spiritual fetus in place.

Only Chu Tai, whose main body is high in the sky, can use this method. The resurrected ancient gods generally do not have the energy and consciousness to do so.

Several independent cultivators showed expressions of struggle. When they saw that Chu Tai was slow to speak, they became even more nervous.

Finally, a male immortal in a black robe knelt down on the cloud light and kowtowed, saying: "God, please have mercy on us. We are just casual cultivators. We have practiced hard for thousands of years before we achieved enlightenment. We just want to live a peaceful life. Please let us go."

The other female fairy gritted her teeth, knelt down, and kowtowed to Chu Tai, saying: "If the venerable god is willing to grant me the correct way to practice, I will follow your lead."

As soon as these words came out, the black-robed male immortal suddenly changed his expression and looked at her and said hurriedly: "Xie Ling!"

"Please have mercy on us, Lord God. As long as you are willing to teach us the true Dharma, the three of us are willing to follow your lead."

As they were talking, another female fairy also knelt down.

Chu Tai looked back at the three people. They were not humans who had achieved enlightenment, but demon spirits who had become immortals.

The male immortal in black robe is a python immortal, while Xie Ling is a scorpion spirit. As for the female immortal kneeling at the end, she is a gourd immortal.

"Interesting. The three of you have already achieved the right path and entered the immortal class. Why do you still need to ask me for the right path?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Ling's face was slightly delighted. She remained kneeling, took two steps forward and said, "You don't know, Reverend God, in this world, the gods and immortals simply treat us as livestock. When they need us, they pick and harvest us, and when they don't need us, they let us harm lives."

"In addition, three hundred years ago, Sun Wukong went crazy for some reason and wanted to give up his Buddhahood, which caused the Eastern and Western immortals to join forces to encircle and kill him. His blood fell on the human world, and countless monsters and demons were created, harming countless lives. Many immortals took this as an excuse and went down to the human world to harvest the spirits of the monsters. We were so scared that we didn't dare to go there at all."

Chu Tai heard this and asked again, "From what you said, you three also had the intention to harm others in your early years, but I observed your auras and found that there was no bloody aura, but instead a clear aura. Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Ling responded hastily, "The three of us were lucky enough to have an immortal teach us some magic, which allowed us to cultivate to the right path. Unfortunately, we were not blessed enough to learn any advanced magic from the immortal, so we have not made any progress since three hundred years ago."

As she spoke, Xie Ling kowtowed again, and the gourd fairy behind her also kowtowed. As for the python fairy, after gritting his teeth, he also followed suit. "Master fairy? Do you have a token?"

Chu Tai asked, and the two female fairies immediately looked at the black-robed man behind them. The python fairy hurriedly took out a bodhi leaf from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Tai.

"Huh? Interesting..."

Chu Tai stretched out his hand, and the Bodhi leaf came into his hand, emitting a faint Buddha light.

He looked at the three immortals again and asked softly, "Did this man say anything else?"

The python fairy did not dare to hide anything and responded directly: "The fairy seemed to have something on his mind at the time. He only taught us some basic breathing methods and the way to become an immortal, then left our old home and headed west."

"When did you meet him?"

The python fairy thought for a moment and said, "About eight hundred years ago?"

The gourd fairy frowned: "No, it should be seven hundred years ago."

Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, looked at her two fellow practitioners, and whispered, "Why do I remember it was six hundred years ago?"

The three of them looked at Chu Tai at the same time, but got no response. Instead, they heard Chu Tai asking them.

"When did the heavenly soldiers and generals over there become like this, half-dead and half-alive?"

This time, the three did not give three different times. They all said that the heavenly soldiers and generals have always been like this, at least they have not changed since they started practicing.

Among them, the gourd fairy was a little curious and asked cautiously: "May I ask the Lord God, is there anything wrong with these heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Chu Tai looked back and saw the Python Immortal and Xie Ling behind him who were so scared that they wanted to stop the Gourd Immortal.

But as a gourd fairy who became an immortal from plants, she could feel the compassion hidden under the vast vitality and huge spiritual charm in Chu Tai's body. She secretly cheered herself up and asked again.

"It's nothing, but I just feel that sealing the human soul with metal and then casting it with molten copper and iron, I don't know which madman came up with this method, isn't he afraid of creating some kind of monster? No, it should be said that a monster has already been created..."

Chu Tai's gaze moved among the heavenly soldiers and generals. He saw that many of the heavenly soldiers had their helmets broken under the impact of the Buddha's light, revealing their faces that had revealed the characteristics of animals such as jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, eagles, and dogs. At this moment, they were more like instruments or tools than cultivators.

"My five senses are shattered, my seven emotions are incomplete, and my animal nature is revealed. At most, I can rely on copper and iron casting and polishing to make further progress. As for cultivation, it has been cut off long ago."

After muttering a few words, Chu Tai looked at the three immortals again and asked, "You three said before that as long as I teach you the Dharma, you will follow my orders?"

Upon hearing this, the three immortals nodded hurriedly.

"In that case, please tell us your names and the magical powers you have cultivated."

Xie Ling spoke first: "I am a golden scorpion who has attained enlightenment, so I took Xie as my surname, and took the character Ling from Linglong. In addition to practicing the cultivation method taught by the immortal, I also practiced my innate magical power, the Horse-Inverting Post."

The Python Immortal followed closely behind him and said, "I am a black python who has attained enlightenment. My surname is Chang and my name is Xuan. I do not have any innate magical powers. I concentrate on practicing the immortal arts."

The last gourd fairy spoke up: "I am the gourd immortal, with Fu as my surname and Ying as my name, just like Chang Xuan."
