The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 394 Jealousy changes people beyond recognition
Back in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, one's rank could rise quickly.

However, in order to master his skills to the maximum level, he was stuck in the Dream of the Red Chamber world for a full 10 years before he could ascend to the Heavenly Court.

In this life, he only cultivated the "Taiqing Daodao Zhenjing" and "Bajiu Xuangong" to the maximum level.

It might take 10 years, or even several decades.

Therefore, although Li Jingxiao would try his best to gain experience whenever he had the chance, he remained very calm when he accompanied Laozi in refining pills.

After the nine-headed lion finally calmed down completely, it turned to look at its six adopted grandsons.

The eyes of these six men were filled with fear, even terror.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. If Li Jingxiao had wanted to kill the six of them, it would have been as easy as killing chickens.

While the nine-headed lion was disappointed, he was also secretly relieved.

Being frightened by Li Jingxiao, a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, and having a sense of fear in one's heart is not entirely a bad thing.

It's a million times better than going out and getting killed by other powerful gods and immortals.

Therefore, when the old lion looked at his six godchildren, his face and eyes were unusually serious.

The six scraggly lions also realized that Li Jingxiao had just been warning them.

No one dared to have any other opinions; they all swore that they wouldn't do anything reckless.

The nine-headed lion was slightly relieved, but he still thought to himself that he still needed to look more carefully.

To avoid any mishaps, if Tang Sanzang were to have an accident, then it would be impossible to save the lives of these six adopted grandsons.

Even if it were me, I would most likely be punished by Taiyi Tianzun.

They were even locked up, and their treatment was three times worse than before.

Seeing the power of the Nine-Headed Lion, Li Jingxiao led Ao Xin out of the Nine-Bend Cave.

I originally intended to return to the West Sea Dragon Palace with Ao Xin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they left Bamboo Mountain, Laozi's voice echoed in their minds.

It is said that Li Xuan, who was cultivating on Mount Hua, had already achieved considerable success in his cultivation.

Whenever I have free time, I go to see this junior brother I've taken in.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao's first thought was that Laozi did not want him to have too much contact with the nine-headed lion.

Or rather, they did not want to interfere in the affairs between Taiyi Tianzun and Buddha.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. Although Laozi's status is higher than that of Taiyi Tianzun, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower Realm.

But he is, after all, one of the Four Emperors of Heaven, a true Heavenly Emperor.

If I were to actually capture the Nine-Headed Lion and send it to the Emperor's Palace, the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi would certainly not look good.

Only someone as unconventional as Sun Wukong would dare to be so disrespectful to Taiyi Tianzun, or even the Jade Emperor and Laozi.

However, since Sun Wukong was personally appointed as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven by the Jade Emperor.

In name only, it is indeed on par with the Four Emperors.

He jokes with the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi, and they don't mind at all.

As Laozi's personal disciple, Li Jingxiao had to abide by many rules.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao sighed. This is probably what they mean by 'you can't have everything'.

After exchanging a few words with Ao Xin, Ao Xin had no objection whatsoever to whether to return to the West Sea Dragon Palace or accompany Li Jingxiao to Mount Hua.

Moreover, going to Mount Hua alone with Li Jingxiao can also be considered as going out for fun together.

In her heart, however, she was quite delighted.

With Li Jingxiao's arm around Ao Xin's slender waist, they traversed seventy or eighty thousand miles in a few flashes.

It appeared at the summit of Mount Hua.

Upon entering, one could see Yang Chan playing the zither atop a mountain peak, accompanied by several maids.

The music was melodious, and the player's skill was excellent.

But as you listen, you realize that Li Jingxiao is very skilled in musical instruments.

It's still easy to hear a hint of sorrow and a touch of shyness in the music.

Thinking about this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but feel curious.

Although Yang Chan was not valued by the Jade Emperor, her maternal uncle, she was still his niece.

Her second brother is Erlang Shen Yang Jian, so anything that bothers her must be extraordinary.

However, Li Jingxiao soon felt a sudden pang of unease. He thought to himself, "This zither music contains a sorrowful yet delicate touch."

This made Li Jingxiao wonder if this woman had fallen for worldly desires.
And could the person who's bothering her be herself?
Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao instinctively put his arm around Ao Xin and dodged away from the mountain peak.

It appeared in the valley where Li Xuan was cultivating Taoism.

It hovered in mid-air, looking down.

Then I saw Li Xuanzheng practicing the method of astral projection.

Upon seeing this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but smile.

He thought to himself, "No wonder Laozi sent me to Mount Hua."

So this kid's time to suffer has come.

Once Li Xuanyi mastered the method of astral projection, he stubbornly separated his primordial spirit from his body and flew into the sky.

However, the Taoist techniques taught by Li Jingxiao were indeed much more powerful than ordinary Taoist techniques.

Therefore, Li Xuan's primordial spirit was able to soar freely in the sky as soon as it left his body.

Li Xuan's primordial spirit looked left and right in the sky, and finally actually wanted to fly back to his hometown in his divine soul form.

To put it bluntly, this guy's desire to seek the Dao is unwavering.

But they also like to show off.

That's why he thought of using his primordial spirit to fly back to his hometown and show off.

Li Jingxiao chuckled and waved his hand, summoning a hundred or so golden-armored warriors from the Heavenly Court.

They followed and protected Li Xuan's soul from afar.

They also summoned several golden-armored warriors to secretly watch Li Xuan's physical body.

After finishing these tasks, Li Jingxiao took Ao Xin and they went sightseeing on Mount Hua.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Xuan's soul still hadn't returned.

Lee Kyung-hyo's smile grew even wider.

If the spirit does not return to the physical body within seven days after leaving the body.

Then there's no way to bring the soul back to life.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to switch to the path of ghosts and achieve the body of a ghost immortal.

If you're unlucky, the end result is your soul being scattered.

Moreover, Li Xuan was destined to face this calamity, and Li Jingxiao didn't even need to take action to destroy Li Xuan's physical body.

Then they saw several scholars, accompanied by some servants, walking towards the valley where Li Xuan was practicing Taoism.

Seeing his body sitting cross-legged and motionless, these people initially thought that Li Xuan was just meditating and cultivating.

I didn't bother them.

But half a day passed, and as it grew late, someone couldn't resist waking him up.

So that I can tell him that I'll stay at his place for the night.

But as soon as the man's hand touched Li Xuan's body, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

This immediately gave these people a big fright.

Calming down, he checked Li Xuan's breath and saw that the guy had stopped breathing.

These people panicked and then mistakenly thought that the kid had killed himself through his cultivation.

While observing with his clairvoyant eyes, Li Jingxiao let the people argue for a while before ordering his servants to collect Li Xuan's body.

Then they dug a pit in the valley, intending to bury Li Xuan that very night.

Firstly, burial brings peace.

Secondly, it prevents the body from remaining unburied for too long, in case any unusual events occur.

However, not all of these people are kind-hearted.

Jealousy often changes a person beyond recognition, not to mention that Li Xuan is not only vain but also likes to show off.

Over the past year, I've often boasted to friends and those seeking immortality on Mount Hua about how I obtained magical powers in my dreams.

Immediately, someone suggested that it would be better to cremate Li Xuan than to bury him.
