The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 325 Samadhi True Fire
"Actually, you don't need to do this. With me by your side, you're generally safe. Guaranteeing me, a sinner, might have some impact on your future."

Qingyi pursed her lips, the sorrow she had just felt quickly receding, leaving only warmth. She had held an official position in the Heavenly Palace, and with the golden words of the Ziwei Emperor as her guarantee, even so, the Southern Dipper Star Lord still took her through many departments, taking a full half day before finally settling on a matter. Ding Lin spoke of it casually, but she could guess how difficult it had been for this matter to come to fruition.

"It's nothing. After all, I've already entered the Taiyi realm, and my status is different now. Moreover, Emperor Wenchang has always appreciated me, so it's just a matter of being demoted from the originally planned third-rank official to the third-rank junior official."

"But how can these official positions and authority compare to yours? Do you really want me to hold the position of the Yellow River Water Lord while I watch you be confined to the Dragon Palace, losing your ambition and slowly becoming my vassal, depressed and unhappy?"

"Qingyi, I want to keep you by my side, but I can't do it by making it impossible for you to leave. I don't want to see you unhappy. The sky is high and the sea is wide. Once the troubles of the Lingbao Technique are resolved, I also hope that you can have your own sky."

Ding Lin spoke earnestly, making no attempt to hide his efforts. Despite having given so much, he pretended to be nonchalant, which only served to impress himself. Instead, openly stating his contributions would have been more beneficial, allowing the other person to know how much he had sacrificed and fostering a stronger relationship.

"Little Red," Qingyi said softly, her right hand reaching up to stroke Ding Lin's cheek.

They cuddled for a while.

Ding Lin and Qingyi separated. A flash of spiritual light appeared at his waist, and a jade seal emerged. A beam of divine light descended upon Qingyi, who closed her eyes. That familiar feeling resurfaced in her heart, and divine aura permeated the air. The next moment, Ding Lin's jade seal was revealed, and the Heavenly Court's decree was confirmed.

Her body, adorned with brocade, was meticulously outlined. After a short while, as the divine light dissipated, she had donned a scarlet robe once more, the jade seal on the silk sash at her waist dangling lightly.

"What a fine example of the Venus Star Lord!" Ding Lin exclaimed.

A smile appeared on Qingyi's face. This was the first time she had smiled since yesterday. All the pent-up emotions in her heart had been lifted. She was once again the unrestrained and domineering Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas.

……

Ding Lin stayed with Qingyi in the hall for a while longer, then excused himself, saying that he had gained some insights after the battle with Xiang Liu and needed to go into seclusion to put them into practice, and left.

This statement is half true and half false. It is true that he has gained some insights, but his seclusion is a pretense.

Ding Lin did not intend to tell Qingyi what the Bull Demon King was thinking. The situation was different from before, and telling her would only add to her worries and serve no other purpose.

Once outside the palace gates, Ding Lin vanished in a flash. He moved stealthily, and when he reappeared, he was already atop a desolate mountain a hundred miles away from Bibo Pool, shrouded in mist. He transformed his figure into the mist and headed straight for Jilei Mountain.

……

Jilei Mountain, Moyun Cave.

In her boudoir, Princess Jade Face leaned against the couch, feigning sleep, when suddenly she felt a burning sensation on her shoulder and neck, as something brazenly pressed against her.

She was startled, and her body tensed up instantly.

"My beauty, it's me." The Bull Demon King's voice rang in her ears, his scorching breath brushing against her fox ears.

Princess Jade Face opened her eyes and was met with a pair of lustful eyes. The Bull Demon King seemed to have been stimulated by something, and his movements became unrestrained and rude.

The large, rough, and hot hand resting on my shoulder was devoid of tenderness and was about to slide down.

Princess Jade Face gently twisted her waist, avoiding the Bull Demon King's advances, and rolled further into the bed. It seemed like she was being a little temperamental, a kind of boudoir playfulness, but only she knew it was disgusting.

As she turned over, a hint of desolation flashed in Princess Jade Face's eyes.

They just approached so silently, what do they think they are?

"Oh, isn't this Your Majesty?" Princess Jade Face showed a mocking expression, seven parts of which were fake, but three parts were true. "Shouldn't you be at Mount Cuiyun? What brings you to my humble abode?"

The Bull Demon King's expression froze. He knew that he had abandoned Princess Jade Face with just a few words, and that she would definitely be resentful upon his return. As for the women, he was willing to coax them, after all, it was a noble matter. He put on a smile and lied as soon as he opened his mouth: "Beauty, are you angry?"

“What am I? I’m just one of your concubines. What’s with all this anger?” Princess Jade Face said.

"Haha, I'm just going back to take a look. That mountain woman is old and faded, and I've long been tired of her. She doesn't even look at me anymore. She doesn't have the same place in my heart as you, my beauty. But after all, Red Boy is my only son, so I can't help but be a little concerned."

The Bull Demon King approached and put his arm around Princess Jade Face's shoulder. Although she was unwilling, she was now living under someone else's roof and depended on the Bull Demon King. After trying to refuse a couple of times, she could only hold back for the time being. Princess Jade Face did not dare to really anger the Bull Demon King.

“My beauty, if you want me to stay here and not go back,” the Bull Demon King lowered his gaze to Princess Jade Face’s flat belly, “then you will give me a child, so that we can have more offspring. Then I will naturally love you more, and you can stay here on Jilei Mountain and not go anywhere else.”

As the Bull Demon King spoke, his heavy body leaned forward, about to press down.

Oh well, let's just pretend I was pressed down by a ghost again.

Princess Jade Face suppressed her nausea and did not resist any further; she closed her eyes.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the mountain.

Just as the Bull Demon King lowered his head, he suddenly raised it, furious.

Anyone who is interrupted while trying to get things done would probably be unhappy.

"who!"

The Bull Demon King roared, his face full of fierceness.

"Bull Demon King, get out here!"

The next moment, childish curses rang out, interspersed with the cries of little demons begging for mercy, but none of them could withstand that Samadhi True Fire. The fire spread, burning through half of Jilei Mountain, adding fuel to the fire in the area of ​​lightning marks that had accumulated over the years on the front mountain.

"It's your good son, but he doesn't seem to appreciate your kindness at all." Princess Jade Face lay back on the couch, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "You unfilial son!"

The aura outside the mountain gate was very familiar; the Bull Demon King recognized it without even needing to distinguish it—it was Red Boy.

"Go and deal with that mess over there, or you won't need to come back." Princess Jade-Faced breathed a sigh of relief. She watched as the Bull Demon King got up, grabbed the cloak that had been tossed aside, and threw it over to him.

"Hehe, my beauty, wait a moment. Don't be angry. I'll deal with this unfilial son and be right back."

The Bull Demon King wasn't angry. He looked at Princess Jade Face and chuckled, taking the cloak and putting it on. He seemed not to have heard the sarcasm in Princess Jade Face's words. This was one of his strengths; he rarely took anger out on anyone. It was this very appearance that once deceived Princess Jade Face, making her believe that she had found a good man to entrust her life to.

Ding Lin hid at a distance of several hundred miles from Jilei Mountain, neither too close nor too far. He originally planned to sneak into Jilei Mountain first before making any plans. He felt that the Bull Demon King was somewhat dangerous, so he had to test him first to determine how to deal with him. Ding Lin was still thinking about how to find out the Bull Demon King's strength, but he did not expect to encounter such a lively scene as soon as he arrived at Jilei Mountain.

The son went to his father's door to stand up for his mother and, incidentally, to fight off the vixen...

It seems he doesn't need to do it himself; Red Boy has already taken care of it.

Suddenly, the restrictions on Mount Jilei fluctuated, and the Bull Demon King rushed out empty-handed, wearing only casual clothes, his face full of anger. Ding Lin's eyes flashed, and before the restrictions subsided, he had a thought and his figure merged into a white cloud halfway up Mount Jilei, infiltrating very smoothly.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are indeed extraordinary. The hidden methods within them are so subtle that, without conscious effort, they are difficult for even those of the same cultivation level to detect when practicing special supernatural abilities.

"You old ox, you disregard your family background and live a carefree life outside. My mother has already given up on you and let you do as you please. Why do you have to go back and upset her?"

Red Boy's eyes immediately turned red when he saw the Bull Demon King. He felt a pang of heartache when he thought of his mother lying on the bed, exhausted from her injuries. Coupled with the Bull Demon King's abandonment of his wife and children, he was filled with rage. With a sip of his mouth, a pillar of fire flew towards the Bull Demon King.

"Did your mother send you?" the Bull Demon King asked, dodging the Samadhi True Fire with a swift movement, and then cursed, "I went back because I was concerned about you and your mother!"

"Don't pretend to be kind!" Red Boy said, two silver beans rolling out of his mouth. "You haven't been back for hundreds of years, and you come back whenever you want, and leave whenever you want. What do you take me and Mother for? Toys that you raise, come to see when you feel like it, and throw aside when you don't! If you don't want us, we don't want you either. What are you anyway!"

"Who am I?" Seeing Red Boy cry, the Bull Demon King softened his heart and said irritably, "I'm your father!"

"Father?" Red Boy shouted, stomping his foot hard and smashing the charred remains of the dozen or so little demons lying around him. "You gave birth to me but didn't raise me, what kind of father are you? I, Red Boy, only have a mother, not a father!"

The tender affection that had just arisen in the Bull Demon King's heart was instantly extinguished by this remark, making him furious: "Who taught you to say such things, Iron Fan? For so many years, I, the old bull, have sent silver, money, and magical treasures to the Banana Cave every year without fail, and she taught you to say such things?"

"I'm not a child anymore," Red Boy wiped away his tears haphazardly, his face full of ferocity. "It has nothing to do with Mother. I just can't stand how you treat Mother. Today I'm here to kill that fox spirit and take you back to apologize to Mother!"

"Good! Good! Good!" The Bull Demon King laughed in anger, saying "good" three times in a row. "For so many years I have been busy with foreign affairs and have neglected to discipline you. You actually want to beat your father? Today I will show you why your father is your father!"

Such is the way of the world. The Bull Demon King is known for his shrewdness and deep cunning. Even when facing Princess Jade Face, his bedmate, he can put on a good show of feigned affection. But when it comes to Red Boy, he is easily provoked to anger. A thousand words from the outside world are often no match for a few words from the person closest to him and whom he cares about most. This is the deep love that leads to the harsh criticism.

"Hmph, let me show you my Samadhi True Fire!"

Red Boy said, and with a wave of his hands, a sea of ​​fire rose up behind him, the fire being three colors.

The cultivation of the primordial spirit, primordial energy, and primordial essence can generate true fire, which is called the Samadhi True Fire.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, a chain of laws floated and drifted, having actually reached a higher level.

Earth, water, wind, and fire form the foundation of existence, and are the top-level laws second only to the four supreme laws. Samadhi True Fire is the most special type of fire, and its power can barely reach the upper level.

Red Boy, at such a young age, has already become a Golden Immortal.

Against the backdrop of the sea of ​​fire, the boy's figure floated and sank within, and with the added power of the superior laws, he truly resembled an immortal amidst the flames.

"Go!"

Red Boy roared, and the sea of ​​fire surged out from behind him, rushing towards the Bull Demon King with fierce and unyielding force. Its heaven-burning and sea-boiling momentum seemed to be about to burn the Bull Demon King to ashes.

The Bull Demon King neither dodged nor avoided the flames; instead, he took a step forward to meet the sea of ​​fire head-on. Despite not having any defenses on his body, the flames scattered upon contact with him. The Bull Demon King sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the raging sea of ​​fire swept into his palm as if it had encountered a true emperor, condensing into a three-colored flame.

"Drink!" Red Boy activated his laws, and the three-colored flames in the Bull Demon's palm only twitched slightly. Then Red Boy felt that one of his laws was heavier than a thousand pounds and suddenly broke out of his control, and he could no longer urge it on.

"Where do you think your Samadhi True Fire came from?" the Bull Demon King said expressionlessly.

“Naturally… naturally I cultivated it through hard work. A few years ago, a furnace fell from the Heavenly Court, and the Samadhi True Fire burned out an eight-hundred-mile-long Flaming Mountain. I was enlightened in front of the mountain. This Samadhi True Fire is something I naturally comprehended myself!” Red Boy said, but there was an undisguised panic in his eyes.

"Comprehend it yourself? You little brat, do you really think cultivating the laws is so easy, that you can master it by sitting in front of Flaming Mountain for a few years? If that were the case, wouldn't all the little demons on this mountain be Golden Immortals? It was your father who passed it down to you through his bloodline after he advanced to Taiyi, you fool!"

The Bull Demon King mercilessly exposed him. A wave of energy rippled through his body, and a fiery red chain appeared above his head—the very law formed from the Samadhi True Fire.

"Your father is only at the Taiyi realm, and can only pass on one law to you. I have carefully selected a superior law. You should cultivate it well, and you may also have the hope of reaching the Taiyi realm in the future. You and your mother think I am having a good time outside, but you don't know how hard I have worked. Who am I struggling for? Is it for your mother and for you? Parents love their children, and I always want to give you the best, but I never expected that you would treat me with it in the end."

"Good boy, you actually resorted to violence today. Well then, I'll teach you another lesson so you'll know that the strong don't easily tolerate offenses. Otherwise, you'll cause trouble for yourself in the future if you rely on this skill!"

"The Bull Demon King said, seemingly enraged to the extreme. His face was devoid of emotion, and as soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably terrifying aura rose from his body.

On the other side, Red Boy had been temporarily stripped of his Samadhi True Fire authority by the Bull Demon King, and had no way to resist. He was immediately bent over by this imposing aura.

This was only because the Bull Demon King showed mercy, unwilling to destroy his son's Dao heart, and only intended to teach him a lesson; otherwise, he could have easily made him kneel down.

The next moment, nine laws intertwined, rising slowly from the Bull Demon King's body like the rising sun.
