It turned out that the Jade Rabbit Spirit, after being blocked here, did not return directly to Chechi, but chose to wait with everyone for Lin Nan's return.

They all knew that Lin Nan's departure was due to a confrontation with the Buddhist Mother Peacock King, and they were filled with concern.

"Is the Dao Lord alright?" Nine Spirits Primordial Saint was most worried, after all, Lin Nan was facing a top expert in Buddhism, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"It's alright. In the chaos, that Peacock King is no match for me." Lin Nan replied casually, which shocked and delighted everyone.

Nine-Headed Lion was shocked by Lin Nan's strength, while Six-Eared Macaque and Ao Yu were genuinely happy about their master's victory in this battle.

"I knew it! How could the Peacock King be a match for Master!" The Six-Eared Macaque said proudly, as if he had participated in the battle himself.

"Alright, it's not appropriate to discuss this matter further here." Lin Nan smiled slightly, interrupting the group's pleasantries.

"The Peacock King's actions this time must be part of a Buddhist conspiracy."

"We should not linger here, lest we cause further trouble," Lin Nan said solemnly to Nine Spirits Primordial Saint.

“I understand. I will have my people prepare to go to Chechi.” Nine Spirits Primordial Saint replied.

“However, the journey is long and the carriage is slow. There are still newborn lions in the clan who are slow to move and may slow down the trip.” Nine-Spirited Ape looked troubled.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan waved his hand gently: "There's no need for such trouble. As long as your clan is well prepared, that's sufficient."

"This... is already prepared." Although Nine-Headed Lion Saint did not understand, he still answered truthfully.

"That's good. Fellow Daoist, please calm the clansmen first to prevent the lions from panicking," Lin Nan instructed.

After speaking, Lin Nan moved slightly and slowly rose into the air, standing above the Nine-Bend Cave of Bamboo Mountain.

At the same time, he summoned the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal, which shone brightly, illuminating half of the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan opened the "Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman" book, where a name shone brightly—it was the name of the local deity of Bamboo Joint Mountain.

After Lin Nan communicated with the local deities through his divine sense, he waved his hand and unleashed a divine power.

This supernatural power had been quietly developing since Lin Nan achieved his Golden Core, and now, with the advancement of his cultivation, it has been completely perfected.

"In the name of the Lord of the Mingxuan Dao, all the local deities, heed my command and assist me!" Lin Nan's voice echoed between heaven and earth, filled with majesty and solemnity.

This supernatural power is none other than "Mountain-Moving and Sea-Transcending" from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques.

"Supporting mountains and crossing seas" implies the ability to carry Mount Tai across the North Sea, and to possess the power to rival the Five Sacred Mountains.

What Lin Nan is now unleashing is precisely such an earth-shattering divine power.

With the supernatural powers being used, and because Lin Nan had informed the local deities beforehand, the supernatural powers were used very smoothly.

Even the local mountain gods and earth gods lent a helping hand, making things much easier for Lin Nan.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Bamboo Mountain slowly rose from the ground, breaking away from Mother Earth's embrace.

The many creatures on the mountain were terrified and at a loss.

Nine-Headed Lion was also shocked and never expected that Lin Nan would do such an amazing thing - moving Bamboo Mountain to Chechi.

In this way, the Taoist lineage on Bamboo Mountain would not need to relocate on its own.

Although the Nine-Headed Lion was shocked by Lin Nan's great magical power and supernatural abilities, it quickly understood Lin Nan's intention and immediately roared at the same time from all nine heads.

"Roar!"

This lion's roar was not intended to intimidate the enemy, but rather carried a sense of both intimidation and reassurance.

As the oldest lion in the world, the Lion's Roar of the Nine-Headed Lion is one of the most magical and powerful sonic abilities in the world.

Therefore, this lion's roar can be used to fight enemies and also to calm the mind.

As the lion's roar echoed throughout Bamboo Mountain, the terrified creatures quickly calmed down.

Under these circumstances, the massive Bamboo Mountain slowly disappeared into the clouds, rising into the sky where ordinary people could hardly reach, and then sped off to the east.

On Bamboo Mountain, the local earth god and mountain deity manifested.

They exchanged a glance, both vaguely guessing what was about to happen.

But they were not panicked; on the contrary, they were somewhat excited and thrilled.

"Are we... going to be caught in the midst of the calamity along with Bamboo Mountain?" the mountain god asked the local earth god, though he already had the answer in his heart.

“That’s right. From now on, we will rise in status and no longer belong to India, but to Chechi!” The Earth God nodded affirmatively.

They looked at each other and smiled, their smiles filled with excitement and anticipation.

India is known as the Buddhist Kingdom on Earth, where monks are everywhere, and bodhisattvas and arhats also frequently appear.

However, the mountain god and the land god are deities in the Taoist system. In this place, they can hardly even get a share of incense offerings, let alone anything else.

But Chechi is different; it is a human realm where everyone respects the Way.

For the local deities and mountain gods of Zhujie Mountain, being able to enter Chechi was a significant boost, equivalent to rising from a remote, rural area to a resident of the capital. It's no wonder they were so excited and overjoyed, unable to contain their excitement.

Meanwhile, after receiving thanks from the magistrate and the people of Fengxian County, Tang Sanzang and his entourage embarked on a new journey.

They knew that Yuhua Prefecture was ahead, and that the lions they had seen before were also in Yuhua Prefecture.

The Monkey King no longer regards those lions as demons.

As they walked, they came across a mountain range in the distance. "That's probably the mountain where the Lion Clan is located," Sun Wukong said.

Pigsy scratched his head and said, "It's a bit strange. This lineage of lions seems somewhat out of place in this Indian kingdom."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "Who knows, they might move their entire clan to Chechi."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Sanzang's shocked voice was heard: "How did that mountain fly away?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie immediately looked up.

A towering mountain suddenly rose from the ground and soared into the sky...

Tang Sanzang and his disciples arrived at the territory of Yuhua Prefecture and were pondering whether they should visit the Nine-Headed Lion.

After all, the Nine-Headed Lion lineage had just been bestowed the title of "Taoist Guardian Lion," a position of great prestige.

However, before they could even take action, they witnessed the spectacular sight of a mountain range rising abruptly and disappearing into the sky.

This scene shocked them so much that they were unable to recover for a long time.

After a long while, it was Pigsy who came to his senses first. He scratched his head and said, "The lions on that mountain have become Dao Lions. This is a rare blessing. I guess they must have been taken away by Dao Lord Lin Nan along with the mountain. They may have already returned to Junchi Kingdom."

Zhu Bajie's words were a reasonable explanation. Tang Sanzang sighed upon hearing this: "Taoists often have tales of how when one attains enlightenment, even chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven, and there are even stories of people lifting their houses to ascend. But now it seems that lifting a house to ascend is still a step below lifting a mountain to ascend."

Sun Wukong, standing to the side with his arms crossed, chimed in, "Throughout history, there have been very few people who possess such power to lift mountains and ascend to immortality." Then, he suddenly looked at Tang Sanzang and asked, "Wukong, can you do that?"

Tang Sanzang was slightly taken aback, then turned his gaze to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong honestly shook his head and said, "Although I, Old Sun, have the ability to carry mountains, I have never learned the great supernatural power of 'carrying mountains and crossing seas'."

At this moment, Pigsy added from the side, "Even if Eldest Brother has learned it, he doesn't have that much magical power to do this. Eldest Brother's 'Great Celestial Immortal Technique' doesn't have this ability." Pigsy nodded as if he understood, and continued, "Only a Taoist master like Daoist Master Lin Nan has such ability. Otherwise, even for ordinary people with great supernatural powers, destroying a mountain is relatively easy, but to coerce a mountain to cross the sea is truly as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Pigsy paused for a moment, then continued, “The world we live in was created by the great god Pangu. Many mountains and rivers cannot be easily changed. Only Taoist masters, with the help of the Taoist court, can do it. People from other cultivation systems, even if they have high magical power and great supernatural abilities, find it difficult to do, or simply cannot do, otherwise they will violate the heavenly rules and be intolerable to heaven and earth.”

After listening to Zhu Bajie's words, Tang Sanzang suddenly understood and had a full grasp of the difficulty involved. He couldn't help but be even more amazed by Lin Nan's power, saying, "I never expected that this Daoist Master Lin Nan would possess such supernatural abilities."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie with new respect and teased him, "You fool, you actually know so much."

Pigsy puffed out his chest and said matter-of-factly, "Back then, I was Marshal Tianpeng, so I know a bit about the affairs of this world. Think about it, there are only so many blessed lands in the world, so why hasn't anyone thought of creating another blessed land besides these? It's because many things in heaven and earth are predetermined, and to change them would be to violate the laws of heaven."

"But Dao Lord Lin Nan is an exception. As a Dao Lord, he can borrow the power of the Dao Court, which is why he was able to create a blessed land in Chechi and accomplish the task of moving mountains. Apart from him, there are very few people in the world who are qualified to do this!"

As he spoke, Pigsy's eyes showed longing. He looked back at the direction of Chechi in the east and sighed, "If Chechi didn't make monks carry cement all the time, life in Chechi would be pretty good, even better than my Gao Village."

Tang Sanzang thought carefully about what Zhu Bajie said and had to admit it. In terms of local customs, social system, and people's well-being, Chechi was even better than the Tang Dynasty.

Sun Wukong scoffed and said, "Tch, what's the use of saying all this now? Let's just keep going. We've already arrived in India. If we go a little further, we'll reach the Great Thunder Temple. Our journey to the West over the past ten years is coming to an end."

Sun Wukong continued, "When we return from the pilgrimage, I will return to Flower Fruit Mountain. You, you fool, can go back to Gao Village if you want."

As they talked, they had already accepted the fact that the mountains ahead had flown away. After calming themselves down, they continued their journey westward.

Meanwhile, a shocking scene unfolded in Chechi. People busy in the city suddenly noticed the sky darkening. Someone asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Is it going to rain?" another person guessed.

"No, it's Xueyun?" someone else suggested.

At that moment, people from all over Chechi looked up. They saw that the sky had indeed darkened, and looking up, they saw a huge shadow slowly breaking through the clouds and descending.

"It's not a dark cloud!" someone exclaimed.

"Is it a solar eclipse?" someone else asked.

"Something has fallen from the clouds!" a sharp-eyed villager shouted.

"There is an unknown behemoth in the clouds!" Soon, many people noticed this and realized that what was above them was not a dark cloud, but an object.

The people looked from all directions, and fortunately, none of them were directly below them, so they could see the enormous creature slowly breaking through the clouds and falling towards the ground.

As the light refracted, some of the people were able to see what the enormous object descending from the clouds actually was. "A mountain! It's a huge mountain!" someone shouted.

"What a huge mountain, it's fallen from the sky!" This exclamation instantly caused an uproar among the crowd.

At this moment, not only ordinary people, but also many cultivators within Chechi were alarmed. Within the Nine Extremes Mountain, streaks of light shot into the sky, clearly indicating that some cultivators had noticed the anomaly and come out to investigate.

In the imperial city of Chechi, Tiger Power Immortal, Deer Power Immortal, and Sheep Power Immortal also took to the air, wanting to find out what was falling from the sky.

These Taoist practitioners flew higher and saw farther, and soon they saw atop a great mountain, where lions of various appearances galloped about. Strangely, seeing those lions did not evoke a sense of ferocity; instead, it gave the Taoist practitioners a feeling of warmth and familiarity.

"What kind of mountain is this?" This question arose in the minds of the Taoist priests who had seen the mountain clearly. They looked at each other, but none of them could find an answer.

But their questions were quickly put aside. As the mountain descended, they saw the figure of a Taoist priest on its summit.

"Dao Master Lin Nan!"

"The Grand Master!"

"He is the Grand Master!"

Even ordinary people could see Lin Nan's figure. It turned out that the little white dragon Ao Yu had transformed into its true form and was circling around Bamboo Joint Mountain, emitting wisps of icy mist. As the icy mist descended, the massive Bamboo Joint Mountain fell, but without stirring up any dust.

Lin Nan stood steadily on Ao Yu's back, his robes fluttering, like an immortal descending to earth. Upon seeing the little white dragon, everyone understood the reason for this situation.

As a result, people felt much more at ease, and their initial panic and doubts vanished.

"Roar!" The moment Bamboo Joint Mountain landed, a lion's roar echoed throughout Chechi. The roar was like thunder, causing countless people to look up and curiously gaze in the direction from which the sound came.

Following the lion's roar came Lin Nan's calm and powerful voice: "Today, a lineage of the Dao Lion has migrated to Chechi and settled on Bamboo Joint Mountain." The entire Chechi Kingdom was shocked by the Nine-Headed Lion's Roar. (End of Chapter)
