Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Among the gods of Heaven, those who were disciples of the Jie Sect, after their previous descent to the mortal realm, were forcibly ordered back to Heaven by the Jade Emperor to shake the Investiture of the Gods, causing them considerable suffering.

Now, the Jade Emperor and the gods from the Jie Sect have reached a tacit agreement: the Jie Sect gods are no longer allowed to descend to the mortal realm at will, and the Jade Emperor can no longer use the Investiture of the Gods to humiliate the Jie Sect disciples.

This was only because Yu Yu Daoren was there; otherwise, a celestial being from the Jie Sect would not be worthy of the Jade Emperor's deference.

Many of the celestial beings of the Jie Sect were unable to descend to the mortal realm. Those who were not included in the Investiture of the Gods, such as the Golden Hoop Immortal, the Pilu Immortal, and the Holy Mother of Wudang, had their own arrangements.

Therefore, facing the Golden Body Realm Bodhisattva Lingji and the Divine Realm Yellow Wind Monster, Liu Qing could only fight alone.

I've faced many challenges alone countless times, so this is nothing new.

Liu Qing brandished the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, took a step forward, and arrived in front of Lingji Bodhisattva, thrusting the spear straight at his chest.

Lingji Bodhisattva raised one palm, and Buddhist power surged forth, instantly turning his entire body golden, like a golden man.

This is the strongest technique of the Golden Body Realm. "Gold" represents permanence, and the Golden Body Realm means that one's physical defense is invincible. Not only is the physical defense formidable, but the vitality is also extremely strong.

The Golden Body Realm represents a breakthrough in the physical body's defense, endurance, and vitality. Powerful beings at this level can disregard ordinary low-grade acquired spiritual treasures simply through defense.

To make a comparison, the master of the Golden Body Realm has a similar level of physical prowess to Liu Qing's third level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

But Liu Qing had already cultivated to the fourth stage.

Moreover, the physical defense of a Golden Body Realm cultivator is immune to low-grade acquired spiritual treasures, but the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone that Liu Qing thrust out was a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Therefore, originally, Bodhisattva Lingji transformed into a golden body, intending to make Liu Qing back down, but when the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone came close, Bodhisattva Lingji's expression changed immediately.

His own golden body could not withstand the attack of the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone.

clang--

In his haste, Bodhisattva Lingji had no choice but to raise his Flying Dragon Staff to block the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone. However, his hasty attack could not completely dissipate the powerful force carried by the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, and he was shaken so badly that his blood and qi surged, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"What a deadly magical treasure!"

"Your divine power is truly astonishing!"

Lingji Bodhisattva's expression turned solemn. He recalled Guanyin Bodhisattva's earlier warning that Liu Qing, though seemingly not highly skilled, possessed astonishing combat prowess and should be extremely careful.

I didn't take it seriously at first. Even if a snake demon at the fifth level of Qi Realm had high combat power, could it be higher than the monkey who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace?
Unexpectedly, after just one exchange, Lingji Bodhisattva realized he was wrong, and very wrong indeed.

The combat power displayed by Liu Qing was in no way inferior to that of himself, a Buddhist bodhisattva who was three realms above him.

With such terrifying combat power, if the monkey who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace was also at the Five Qi Realm, he would definitely be far inferior to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing's attack repelled Lingji Bodhisattva, greatly boosting his confidence. He immediately swept the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, producing a sound like ghosts wailing and gods howling, towards Lingji Bodhisattva.

Over there, the Yellow Wind Monster, who originally thought that he would be able to easily suppress Liu Qing without having to take action, had no choice but to join the battle upon seeing this.

This snake demon is truly terrifying. Even Lingji Bodhisattva did not gain the upper hand. Before Guanyin Bodhisattva left, she asked him to help Lingji Bodhisattva, but he did not take it seriously. Now it seems that Guanyin was right to have foresight.

Yellow Wind Monster was unaware that the Five Directions Protector had been killed by Liu Qing. If he had known, he probably would have joined forces with Lingji Bodhisattva to deal with Liu Qing long ago.

Yellow Wind Monster's eyes darted around, and without making a sound, it opened its mouth and spewed out the Samadhi Yellow Wind, which blew towards Liu Qing in a sneak attack.

Liu Qing was prepared.

Facing the Yellow Wind Monster's Samadhi Yellow Wind, he was not afraid at all. This Samadhi Yellow Wind could restrain 'Sun Wukong' because Sun Wukong's eyes were injured by the Samadhi True Fire in Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace. Although he was fortunate to awaken the talent of Fiery Eyes, it was also a weakness.

Especially when facing the Yellow Wind Monster's Samadhi Yellow Wind, this weakness will be magnified infinitely, ultimately leading to defeat. Otherwise, how could the Yellow Wind Monster, with his mere Divine Realm cultivation, possibly withstand the Great Sage who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace?

Liu Qing chuckled and immediately used his Wind Transformation Divine Power to transform himself into a gentle breeze, mingling with the Yellow Wind Monster's Samadhi Yellow Wind.

Lingji Bodhisattva was taken aback, seeing that Liu Qing had disappeared without a trace.

Yellow Wind Monster was also stunned. Where did that snake demon go?

Lingji Bodhisattva released Buddhist thoughts and carefully searched the surrounding area, while the Yellow Wind Monster frowned and absorbed the Samadhi Yellow Wind he had spewed out into his body.

Although the Samadhi Yellow Wind is an innate supernatural power, it cannot be wasted casually. It is only because it contains the sand from the refining of 360 star grains that it possesses such terrifying power.

Otherwise, the Samadhi Yellow Wind is merely a powerful tactic in group battles.

Therefore, the Yellow Wind Monster would collect the Samadhi Yellow Wind after each time it spewed it out, to prevent the Star Sand hidden inside from being stolen.

The Yellow Wind Monster swallowed the Samadhi Yellow Wind and also released its demonic consciousness to help Bodhisattva Lingji search for Liu Qing's whereabouts.

“Bodhisattva, could Liu Qing have used some trickery to escape to the Flowing Sand River?” Lingji Bodhisattva was startled: “Perhaps it is very possible. You are slow, so follow behind. This humble monk will go to the Flowing Sand River first.”

Having said that, Bodhisattva Lingji soared into the sky on a cloud and hurriedly headed towards the Liusha River.

Yellow Wind Monster hesitated for a moment, then followed behind, chasing after Lingji Bodhisattva. It didn't want to go to the Flowing Sand River, wanting to continue to rule the world as a mountain king and live a carefree life. But now that it had revealed its whereabouts and been subdued by Buddhism, it could no longer live a carefree life. From now on, it could only serve as a henchman for Buddhism.

Yellow Wind Monster sighed in frustration, then rode a demonic cloud and slowly headed towards the Flowing Sand River.

Before our eyes, there was no trace of Bodhisattva Lingji.

Just then, the Yellow Wind Monster let out a miserable howl, clutching his stomach and rolling around on the demonic cloud, not even caring about the trident he cherished as his life, and threw it aside.

It turns out that everything was part of Liu Qing's plan.

First, attack Lingji Bodhisattva with all your might to lure the Yellow Wind Monster's Samadhi Yellow Wind into a sneak attack, then take advantage of the situation to use the Wind Transformation Divine Power to hide in the Yellow Wind Monster's Samadhi Yellow Wind.

Then it was swallowed into its belly, revealing its true form. It then used the "Size-at-Will" technique, holding the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, to stir up the Yellow Wind Monster's belly and tear apart its intestines and internal organs.

While it may feel good to bully others with force and suppress them with overwhelming power, Liu Qing is not incapable of using clever tricks to defeat his enemies.

Facing the Golden Body Realm Bodhisattva Lingji and the Divine Realm Yellow Wind Monster, even if they fought with all their might and ultimately won, it would take a considerable amount of time. The key point is that Liu Qing is in a hurry to get to the Flowing Sand River and cannot afford to be delayed.

Furthermore, fighting two opponents across two or three realms would surely result in serious injury for Liu Qing, even if he was confident.

Why not use a clever method now, sneak into the belly of the Yellow Wind Monster, and easily take care of one of them first?
Liu Qing's Ruyi Scepter, through continuous study and practice, has achieved minor success in cultivation. At this moment, its true form is no bigger than a bean inside the Yellow Wind Monster's body.

The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone in his hand was also like a toothpick, but although it was shaped like a toothpick, it was not a real toothpick; it was definitely a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Then, Liu Qing swung the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, severing one of the Yellow Wind Monster's intestines. He then continued to slash, smash, and sweep, tearing apart several more intestines.

Finally, unable to bear the stench of his intestines any longer, he took a step to the heart of the Yellow Wind Monster and thrust out the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, piercing into the monster's heart.

Then, with a twist of his wrist, divine power surged forth, blasting a bloody hole in the Yellow Wind Monster's heart.

The demon saint's essence blood surged out wildly, and as it flowed away, the Yellow Wind Monster's roar grew weaker and weaker until it gradually faded away.

Only then did Liu Qing have time to find the Yellow Wind Monster's mouth pouch, crawl inside, and collect the 360 ​​stardust particles suspended in the Samadhi Yellow Wind within the pouch.

[Star Sand: A top-grade celestial material, born from the essence of stars in the heavens. Each grain is incredibly heavy and can be used for refining artifacts.]

Liu Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

Stardust is a top-grade celestial spirit and an innate spiritual material, making it a treasure for refining weapons, but Liu Qing would not use it for refining weapons.

If this star sand were used for refining artifacts, out of 360 pieces, it could at most produce a low-grade spiritual treasure. However, if the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone were to devour it, it would surely be able to evolve again.

The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone has devoured acquired and innate spiritual materials several times, and has evolved to the limit of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

If I were to devour these 360 ​​stardust particles, I might be able to evolve completely into a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Liu Qing immediately had an idea, and ordered the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone to devour the three hundred and sixty star sands.

Suddenly, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone shone brightly, its spiritual aura naturally formed, and the sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling resounded around it, its innate killing aura intensified.

Liu Qing was overjoyed, his eyes filled with anticipation, waiting for the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone to completely devour these stardust sands and fuse them into one.

This process is immeasurable; it may be completely melted down tomorrow, or it may take several years or decades.

Let it evolve as it will. In any case, with Liu Qing's current level of cultivation, this Panlong Eight-Tone Cone is sufficient for his needs. Furthermore, the evolution of the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone will not prevent Liu Qing from using it.

Liu Qing pierced the Yellow Wind Monster's belly with his spear, emerging from within to reveal his true size.

The Yellow Wind Monster's physical body was already dead, so Liu Qing shook the Yin Jade Spirit Banner to pull out the Yellow Wind Monster's demonic soul. Then, he blew a gust of yin wind to help the Yin Jade Spirit Banner erase the Yellow Wind Monster's consciousness.

Thus, the demon saint of the Divine Realm, a powerful figure in the early stages of the Journey to the West, was completely killed by Liu Qing.

It's pathetic to think that the mighty Yellow Wind Monster, a master of the Divine Realm, only managed to blow out a gust of yellow wind before dying silently without even having a chance to display his sharp forked technique. It's truly a shameful situation.

When the Yellow Wind Monster's small world appeared, Liu Qing took away its many treasures, making another great haul.

The three elements of the sun, moon, and stars within his minor world were collected bit by bit by the Yellow Wind Monster. The energy of the sun, moon, and stars in the outside world was not a top-grade celestial spirit like that of the Five Directions Exorcist. Therefore, after the Yellow Wind Monster died, it dissipated quickly, just like the five elements within his minor world.

Liu Qing didn't bother to collect it. This kind of energy from the sun, moon, and stars could be collected from the outside at any time, so there was no need to use secondhand energy from the Yellow Wind Monster's small world.

Like most cultivators, those at the Divine Realm level who evolve their minor worlds expend tremendous effort collecting the energies of the sun, moon, and stars from the outside world and fusing them into their own minor worlds to serve as the three elements of the sun, moon, and stars.
