The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 486: Live Again, Demon Umbrella Subdues Demons
The information that Ao Li said was very important. If it were under normal circumstances, Zhang Jiuyang would definitely hold his breath and concentrate, for fear of missing any word.

After all, the information about direct confrontation with the Heavenly Lord is extremely precious and rare.

Ao Li asked the Dragon King of the East China Sea to possess him, and his strength increased dramatically. Even the Heavenly Venerable could not defeat him, and thus he obtained this valuable information.

But now, he didn't want to hear a word.

As she continued to tell the story, the Dragon Girl's face grew paler, her originally calm voice grew weaker, and her eyelids seemed to grow heavier and heavier, as if they would close at any moment.

Zhang Jiuyang knew that once he closed his eyes, it would be a farewell forever.

The true God will not come to you.

Ao Li rashly asked the East Sea Dragon King to possess his body without fully comprehending the "Diagram of the Four Seas Dragon Kings". His dragon body was simply unable to withstand such powerful divine power. Not only his physical body, but even his soul was on the verge of collapse.

This was when she had only invited the Dragon King of the East Sea among the Four Seas. If she had invited the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas at the same time, she would probably have exploded and died in an instant.

"Stop talking, save your energy!"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly interrupted her narration. At this moment, he used the Sky Escape Sword Intent to forcibly cut off the sadness and panic in his heart, allowing himself to calm down and think about how to save the dragon girl.

He would never give up until the last moment.

The Dragon Girl smiled slightly and said, "I have already...finished talking..."

She stretched out her hand, raised a finger with great effort, and gently stroked Zhang Jiuyang's cheek, saying apologetically: "I used that picture... once... I don't know if it will... affect you..."

She was worried that her use of the spirit-inviting technique might cause problems with the picture.

Returning the picture is also her obsession.

"Zhang Jiuyang...are we still...friends?"

At this moment, Ao Li, who could face death calmly, actually revealed a rare hint of uneasiness in his glass-colored eyes.

She looked at Zhang Jiuyang, as if hoping for something.

From childhood to adulthood, she only had one friend, Zhang Jiuyang, and only from Zhang Jiuyang did she feel cared for and taken care of.

That feeling seemed even more precious when she was trapped alone in that fairy palace full of weirdness.

"Not counting."

Zhang Jiuyang's voice sounded, decisive and clear.

The light in Ao Li's eyes gradually dimmed, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Zhang Jiuyang's eyes again.

"We are certainly not friends, but companions and husband and wife."

Zhang Jiuyang's voice rang out again, causing Ao Li's pupils to tremble. Even though he was seriously injured and on his deathbed, he still looked radiant.

"Daoist couple... husband and wife..."

She murmured to herself in disbelief.

"What? You ate everything you wanted that night, put on your pants, and are ready to not take responsibility?"

A smile appeared on Zhang Jiuyang's face. Seeing that Ao Li was still trying to speak, he interrupted her in a domineering manner.

"Shut up and be obedient."

"I--"

Ao Li wanted to say something, but Zhang Jiuyang took a big sip of the jade liquid in the magic gourd and then kissed her soft and tender red lips.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

"Okay, what were you trying to say?"

There was a strange blush on Ao Li's face, which added an extra radiance to her cold and beautiful appearance, and suddenly the entire cave seemed to be brightened.

"I said... I can drink it myself..."

She avoided Zhang Jiuyang's gaze. Although she felt chilled to the bone, there was an indescribable heat on her face.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the perfect harmony of that night. That strange and wonderful feeling made her reminisce about it often in the fairy palace.

Whenever she recalled that night, she would feel this sudden burning sensation all over her body. At first, she thought she was under some kind of curse.

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly, but there was anxiety in the depths of his eyes.

He deliberately acted frivolous, in fact, just to help Ao Li get rid of his determination to die and stimulate his desire to live.

But the situation is not optimistic. Ao Li now has a desire to live, but her injuries are objectively present and are getting worse.

Jade liquid is a panacea for mortals, but for her, it is too late to save her.

Could it be that he met Ao Li in advance, but could not change anything and could only watch her die in front of him?
Zhang Jiuyang absolutely cannot accept this!
No, no!
He suddenly thought that although he didn't know why the butterfly led him here, the person behind the scenes was very powerful and should know that he had a way to change the situation.

If it really was the grandfather, he would definitely not want anything to happen to his grandson's wife.

According to this line of thinking, he must have something that can break the deadlock, but he has not discovered it yet.

At this moment, the effect of the jade liquid quickly dissipated, and Ao Li's breath became weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Stay calm, be sure to stay calm and think carefully!
Zhang Jiuyang took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

The Tiandun sword intent cut off all distracting thoughts, and put him into a state of great purity and freedom, with wisdom and inspiration emerging.

In a flash, he recalled his experience from beginning to end.

If there really is something that can save Ao Li, it must be in these memories, hidden in some detail that he has overlooked.

Suddenly, his memory stopped at a certain scene.

That was the scene of the Eight Immortals' departure in the last inheritance. The last one to leave was He Xiangu. At the time of parting, she said something meaningful.

"Don't refine the lotus essence easily. When your life span is over, you can use it to live a new life..."

Zhang Jiuyang opened his eyes instantly, his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Live a new life!
He finally found the key to breaking the deadlock, the most crucial piece of the puzzle!
It is the lotus essence that is hidden deep in his body and has been ignored by him!

The lotus was one from the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi Pool. It was picked by He Xiangu and after being nurtured and refined over countless years, it eventually became a treasure for her to attain enlightenment.

The lotus contains vast vitality, and its essence is a treasure that can change one's destiny. It can allow people to reshape their bodies and live another life!
Zhang Jiuyang did not take it too seriously because he was too young and had a long life ahead of him. However, he did not expect that it was the lotus essence that he had ignored that could help him save Ao Li's life!
Perhaps the meaningful words He Xiangu said before she left were a prediction of what would happen today?
Zhang Jiuyang did not hesitate at all and generously transferred the lotus essence in his body into her body without holding back even a trace.

It is difficult to achieve immortality in this world. For any cultivator, being able to live another life is an incomparable temptation, which is equivalent to having another chance to achieve immortality. Especially for some elderly people whose cultivation has been stuck in a bottleneck period for a long time, if they hear that such a treasure has come out, they will probably get it at all costs.

Even the heads of the major sects are no exception.

But Zhang Jiuyang gave it to Ao Li without hesitation. The reason was very simple. In his heart, Ao Li had already been his woman.

The lotus essence was indeed precious, but compared to Ao Li, it was nothing.

As it turned out, Zhang Jiuyang guessed right.

After the lotus essence was infused into her, her body suddenly blossomed with green light, full of vitality, and new buds grew on the stone walls of the underwater cave.

Ao Li's originally disintegrating soul suddenly revived and began to gather again under a magical force.

Her glazed eyes opened again, a hint of green emerged in the depths of her pupils, and her whole body's energy and spirit were instantly restored a lot.

"Zhang Jiuyang, what am I doing..."

"Don't talk, refine this essence well, it can help you live a new life!"

Ao Li was shocked, but did not show any joy. Instead, he said worriedly, "Will this have any impact on you? Don't damage your foundation just to save me!"

This essence was vast and pure, and had a strange fairy charm, mysterious and unpredictable. In a trance, her soul seemed to fly to a holy pool filled with spiritual energy and bright fairy light, hiding among the lotus flowers in the pool, absorbing the spiritual energy of the holy pool and inhaling and exhaling the fairy light of the sea of ​​clouds.

It grows slowly among the magnificent clouds.

Not only the physical body, but even the soul underwent a baptism, as if after a soak in the pool, it had undergone a complete transformation.

And in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes, a lotus shadow actually appeared around Ao Li, enveloping her entire body, like a bud about to bloom.

Not only the essence of the lotus that he was crossing, but also the spiritual energy of the water veins of the entire Longtang River was drawn in and automatically flowed into the lotus.

But this also attracted all the monsters in the Longtang River. Zhang Jiuyang had killed a batch of them before. Now, there was a sound outside the cave again, and it sounded even more powerful than before.

Zhang Jiuyang thought of the dragon corpse on the outermost layer of the cave. It seemed that a dragon had indeed died here in the past, and its corpse nurtured many monsters, some of which even became powerful creatures.

These monsters are quite intelligent. Although they clearly have stronger powers, they know how to send the smaller monsters to test the waters first, while they hide behind the scenes and watch.

If the white dragon inside is no longer able to resist, they will directly attack and snatch the body of the real dragon.

Unexpectedly, all this was interrupted by the uninvited guest Zhang Jiuyang.

They could feel Zhang Jiuyang's power and were greatly shocked, but with the abnormal movement of the entire Longtang River's water veins and the temptation of the real dragon's flesh and blood, they finally couldn't help themselves.

While Zhang Jiuyang was transferring lotus essence to Ao Li, he opened his third eye and glanced outside the cave.

In fact, when he just entered the water, he realized that there were more powerful demons watching in secret, but he was worried about Ao Li's safety at that time, so he didn't pay attention to it.

After all, to him now, the demons in the fourth and fifth realms are not a threat at all.

Only a powerful demon at the sixth level could make him take it seriously.

However, these beasts were still unwilling to give up and coveted Ao Li's real dragon body, which made Zhang Jiuyang want to kill them.

Under the eye of heaven, he found the demons that were secretly watching one by one.

A fourth-level tiger-whiskered black fish monster, a giant aquatic python with three heads and covered in evil patterns, and a dragon-whiskered golden-patterned loach with the most powerful cultivation base and the power of the fifth level.

It is said to be a loach, but it has white dragon whiskers and a light golden luster on its body. It can be big or small, visible or invisible. It can be as small as an earthworm to burrow holes, or as big as a black snake to turn rivers and seas upside down.

Zhang Jiuyang even felt a hint of dragon power from it.

Loach is also known as fallen dragon. Legend has it that it has the nature, luck and bones of a dragon, but not the shape, fate or appearance of a dragon. It can only grow in the mud and look up at the sky, but cannot become a real dragon.

But this loach seemed to have broken through this restriction and had already taken on the shape and appearance of a dragon. Although only three-quarters of it, it was still extremely astonishing.

The tiger-whiskered black fish demon and the three-headed giant python are both in the fourth realm, while the dragon-whiskered golden-patterned loach is in the fifth realm and is giving orders.

Roar!
As if it had sensed Zhang Jiuyang's gaze, the Dragon-Bearded Golden-Patterned Loach suddenly roared, letting its two brothers rush forward while it quietly fell behind by a step.

At the same time, it used its magical powers to attract a large group of water ghosts.

These are people who accidentally fell into the Longtang River and drowned over the years. Their souls were turned into water ghosts and obeyed the orders of monsters.

Zhang Jiuyang's pupils condensed. There were a lot of water ghosts, so densely packed that there were probably thousands of them.

So many people were drowned here, which is abnormal even after many years. Why didn't the Imperial Observatory branch in Jizhou notice it?
I'm afraid there's something fishy going on.

The army of monsters and water ghosts attacked, and Zhang Jiuyang was still sitting there, seemingly unable to escape, which made the old loach who was observing secretly show joy in his eyes.

That powerful Taoist priest seemed to be busy saving people and couldn't concentrate on it.

But what it didn't know was that Zhang Jiuyang was just thinking about the unusual thing behind this matter, and because he was too engrossed in it, he didn't take any action for the time being.

When the water ghost rushed in, Zhang Jiuyang shook his head.

Do not live by committing sins.

He flicked his sleeves lightly, and an umbrella flew out from his sleeves, a pitch-black Luo umbrella that seemed to symbolize death and ominousness, and was filled with a strong yin energy.

According to the spell in the memory of the girl who was eager to get married, he pinched his fingers, chanted the spell silently, and said the word "open" in his heart.

The next moment, the black umbrella slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a horrifying scene appeared. The black umbrella kept getting bigger, and finally it almost covered the sky and the sun, emitting a terrifying evil spirit and resentment, causing the entire bottom of the water to begin to spin and turbulent, as if there were thousands of ghosts and gods wailing.

In an instant, all the water ghosts were sucked into the black umbrella, and the souls of those monsters were also sucked in, and their bodies became stiff and cold.

The dragon-bearded golden loach tried desperately to escape, using all its strength, but no matter how powerful it was, after a moment's struggle, its eyes became empty and it fell straight to the bottom of the water.

The black umbrella was folded and automatically fell beside Zhang Jiuyang, quietly and without any special events.

If no one had seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have believed that it was this umbrella that easily took away thousands of souls and the spirits of the three monsters.

Zhang Jiuyang showed a hint of surprise.

What a magic umbrella that can take away souls and spirits. Its power was so great that even he was a little surprised.

It seems that Ali really found a treasure.
