Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

The magical wooden dragon was covered in Buddhist light. Hyuga Hoshino jumped onto the dragon's head, and in a flash, he transformed into a version of Fahai, resembling Nie Feng.

"Snake demon, gods, humans, demons, and monsters—the four realms are hierarchically ordered, and your insolence is unacceptable."

"Who do you think you are, you bald monk, daring to spout nonsense here? Don't you recognize me, your auntie?!"

"You mere snake demon, so arrogant! Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Great Luo Mantra, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Vajra Flame, kill!"

With a wave of his hand, Hyuga Hoshino unleashed the boundless karmic fire, now known as the Six Samadhi True Fire, which had merged with the flames of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. Immersed in Buddhist light, the relic was still not fully filled.

Hinata Hoshino didn't want to incur any karmic debt with Buddhism, and placing a Buddhist statue in a Taoist stronghold wasn't a good idea either. So, apart from the faith power of the Wuxian statue, Hinata Hoshino hadn't obtained any other faith power. If he found Xia Liuqing, he might be able to find a way to plunder other faiths.

Even so, Fo Guang can still hold on for a few more matches.

Upon seeing the flames brimming with Buddhist energy, Bai Suzhen couldn't contain her anger. Xu Xian was like this back then, and now that she was bravely pursuing love, it was still the same. These bald Buddhist monks, when will they ever stop?

“Bald monk, tell me your Dharma name and the temple where you are staying. Today, not only you, but also your temple, I will not let any of them go.”

Bai Suzhen transformed into her original form, opened her mouth, and exhaled a stream of icy energy that collided with the flames. The flames clearly gained the upper hand, but Bai Suzhen increased her demonic energy output, causing the icy energy to grow stronger and eventually perish together with the flames.

Bai Suzhen was somewhat puzzled. How could there still be a bald monk with such cultivation in this era?

"This humble monk, Fahai, is staying at Jinshan Temple."

"Impossible. That bald man has already left with Buddha and become an Arhat. You can't be Fahai."

Even when Bai Suzhen transformed into her original form, her ferocious appearance was still discernible.

“Snake demon, if you think it’s not true, then it’s not true. But if you don’t release the person today, then this humble monk can only imprison you under the Five Elements Mountain, head facing inward.”

"Five Elements Mountain?"

Bai Suzhen felt amused and annoyed. She had given herself away as soon as she opened her mouth. When did Fahai ever use the Five Elements Mountain?

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, World-Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

The wooden dragon beneath her feet, enveloped in Buddhist light, crashed into Bai Suzhen. Not to be outdone, Bai Suzhen moved forward in her true form, carrying unparalleled power.

"boom"

The Buddha's light burned Bai Suzhen, but Bai Suzhen still activated the Death Binding technique, attempting to strangle the wooden dragon. She also possessed the Dharma Eye, which allowed her to see through the Buddha's light and see that the wooden dragon was inside.

The wood was plain and unadorned, without any shimmering light; it was probably just ordinary timber. She didn't believe it could be that hard.

Hinata Hoshino shook his head; Bai Suzhen was still naive.

Hyuga Hoshino recently found several pieces of Dragon-Subduing Wood, the kind used by dragons. Bai Suzhen was a little carried away and forgot that there are still some pieces of wood in the Three Realms that are more durable than her true form.

The Wood Release technique incorporates the characteristics of the Dragon-Subduing Wood, which not only increases its hardness but also adds a special attack against dragons. Coincidentally, Bai Suzhen, although she has the appearance of a snake, belongs to the dragon race.

The Dragon-Subduing Wood's properties erupted, and in addition to feeling the burning Buddhist light, Bai Suzhen also sensed a targeted power appearing on the surface of the wooden dragon.

Bai Suzhen remembered her master, the Old Mother of Lishan, teaching her that this was the Dragon-Subduing Wood. Despite the pain, Bai Suzhen led the wooden dragon away from the territory of the King of Chou's mansion and headed straight for West Lake.

"Splash, splash."

Bai Suzhen, accompanied by a wooden dragon, crashed into West Lake, creating huge waves that terrified the people living along the lake, who fled in panic.

Bai Suzhen gathered the endless power of the water element and squeezed the wooden dragon, taking the opportunity to release it.

The wooden dragon's underwater movements were thwarted. Seeing the wooden dragon's failure, Hinata Hoshino placed his hand on the water's surface and fought with Bai Suzhen for control of West Lake.

As expected of a dragon, its control over water is extraordinary. With the divine power of the Qilin bloodline, it summons a phantom of a Qilin, which appears and stands on the water's surface.

Bai Suzhen suddenly felt that she had lost control of the lake. Seeing that things were going badly, Bai Suzhen prepared to issue a decree to summon the aquatic creatures of the East Sea and use the people near West Lake as hostages to force Hyuga Hoshino to give up the pursuit of Xu Yueming and hand over Xiaoqing.

Bai Suzhen used a water escape technique to flee, but she didn't expect that the entire West Lake seemed to be sealed off by an invisible force.

Hinata Hoshino took out the calligraphy brush he had made earlier, and wrote characters in the style of dragons and phoenixes, representing seals, imprisonment, and blockades. In an instant, the characters were written and spread across the surface of West Lake.

Chapter 190

Bai Suzhen repeatedly tried to leave using underground rivers and open waterways, but was stopped by an invisible barrier.

Bai Suzhen knew something was wrong. The scene of being imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda by Fahai a thousand years ago flashed before her eyes again.

No, no, she absolutely cannot be suppressed again. In this situation, the only person who flashed through Bai Suzhen's mind was Xiaoqing. Her feelings for Xiaoqing were complicated, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Roar, hiss!"

Bai Suzhen suddenly emerged from the water, her enormous snake head menacing and terrifying, seemingly intent on swallowing Hyuga Hoshino whole.

The wooden dragon timely entangled Bai Suzhen, and the phantom of the Qilin, poised to strike, with its large horn wreathed in flames, crashed into Bai Suzhen's vital spot. Struck at her vital spot, Bai Suzhen let out a helpless wail.

Still making a final desperate attempt, the Realgar Sword was spat out from the snake's head and headed straight for Hyuga Hoshino. After years of body training, Hyuga Hoshino's physique was so powerful that even he himself could not clearly describe it.

Seeing the realgar sword coming at him, Hyuga Hoshino Jun relied on his own strength to clash the tip of the realgar sword with the back of his hand.

"Ding, hiss"

Hinata Hoshino's hand was scratched by the realgar sword, leaving only a white mark, without even damaging the skin.

Seeing that her last-ditch effort had no effect, Bai Suzhen gave up resisting. Her enormous original form was dragged by the wooden dragon and landed on the shore of West Lake, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Hyuga Hoshino waved, and the Muggle Expulsion Curse took effect. The curious onlookers, who had initially wanted to join in the fun, seemed to remember something and avoided the area.

Bai Suzhen transformed into human form, exuding a pitiful charm. Hyuga Hoshino showed no mercy, spreading the Maoshan Sealing Talisman all over Bai Suzhen's body like a blanket.

The technique of restriction, with dragon and phoenix seals, seals and suppresses cultivation.

Jie Kong arrived late, but it's not fair to blame him for standing idly by. In fact, there was no one in the entire Lingyin Temple who could compare to Bai Suzhen.

"Master Shixing, we meet again."

"Master Jiekong, it's been a long time. What brings you to Lingyin Temple?"

“My master intends for me to become the next abbot of Lingyin Temple, so I have come here to gain some experience.”

"I see. Madam Xu said that it was the young master who recommended me?"

"That's right. Apart from the Taoist priest, I don't know any other masters."

"Alright, I don't mean any offense. I'm leaving now."

"Farewell, Taoist Priest."

Hinata Hoshino grabbed a butterfly net, put Bai Suzhen inside, and headed towards the Chou King's mansion, where Zhu Yeqing was chatting away with Xiaoqing.

Before he even got close, Hinata Hoshino heard her accusing Xiaoqing of withholding her cultivation pills, trying to pull out her teeth, and attempting to take advantage of her.

At this moment, Zhu Yeqing was unaware of the danger that was about to strike. Hyuga Hoshino grabbed Zhu Yeqing by the ear, causing her to cry out in pain. Perhaps because her original body did not have ears, Zhu Yeqing's ears were definitely the organ that caused her the most pain.

“I heard everything. You’re being stingy, aren’t you? You want to do something wrong, right? Come on, let me show you what it means to do something wrong.”

Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen were locked in the Divine Might Space for about two hours. Hyuga Hoshino pulled Zhuyeqing along. Zhuyeqing's face was very red, and she wanted to eat chewing gum.

Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen were released. Xiaoqing returned to human form, and the two embraced each other, looking more like a pair of star-crossed lovers.

"Greetings, Master Qi."

Bai Suzhen remained silent for a while, then bowed in greeting. Hinata Hoshino was completely bewildered; why had her attitude suddenly changed?

“My master, the Old Mother of Lishan, once said that a Qilin clan would come, and I must give this item to them.”

Bai Suzhen took out the Realgar Sword, which emitted a crimson light, and a long sword separated from it.

Hinata Hoshino returned to his original form, gripped the longsword, and softly recited the inscription on the blade.

Bai Suzhen thought to herself, "As expected. Although he was handsome before, he is not as good as he is now."

The main point is that the appearance provided by the Old Mother of Lishan is the same as the current one. The previous Qilin was just speculation, but now it is confirmed.

The Old Mother of Lishan said that only Hyuga Hoshino could wield the Crimson Sky Sword.

"The Crimson Sky Sword?"

Gently stroking the sword, a thought came to me.

"In the name of the Red Emperor, I hereby bestow upon Maoshan Shixing a portion of power in the human realm and a portion of power in the Heavenly Court. In the name of Nuwa, I hereby bestow upon Maoshan Shixing a portion of power in the human realm."

There are many different theories about the origin of the Old Mother of Lishan, including the idea that she is an incarnation of Nuwa. We don't know about other worlds, but this is how it is in this world.

As for the relationship between the Crimson Sword and the Crimson Emperor, it is related to Liu Bang. Legend has it that Liu Bang obtained an iron rod from the mountains, which was called a divine sword. Qin Shi Huang was the White Dragon, Liu Bang was the Crimson Dragon, and Liu Bang was the descendant of the Crimson Emperor.

One day, Liu Bang, drunk, killed a white snake. Some say that this severed the Qin Dynasty's fortune, and the iron rod in Liu Bang's hand transformed into the Crimson Sky Sword.

Hinata Hoshino stroked his chin. Now all that's left is the power of the underworld. He wondered if Acha would be easy to talk to. However, even if Acha was unwilling to give it up, the Maoshan Patriarch should still be willing.

Twenty-one years until the day of the Red Dragon. Seeing Hinata Hoshino sheath his Crimson Sky Sword and remain silent for a long time, Xiaoqing knelt down before him and kowtowed.

"Please, Immortal, spare Old Bai's life. Please, Immortal, spare Old Bai's life..."

The ground creaked, clearly indicating that the kowtowing was done with great force. Bai Suzhen watched Xiaoqing kowtowing and then kowtowed as well.

"Please, Master Qi, have mercy and spare Xiaoqing. I am willing to atone with my death..."

It did resemble a wedding ceremony, and Hyuga Hoshino, helpless, forcefully dragged the two snakes up.

Even Zhu Yeqing couldn't bear to watch any longer. The Taoist energy from Maoshan didn't diminish her demonic aura; instead, it gave her a bit more humanity. Since they were both snakes, it was inevitable that she would feel a sense of kinship.

"Could you please let them go? I can..."

Hinata Hoshino looked at Takeba Aoi with amusement. This physique wasn't bad, just a bit of a challenge. He'd originally intended to let them go, but since Takeba Aoi was willing to do something, he didn't mind doing her a favor.

"White Snake, listen carefully, let's go, and you're not allowed to force any more men. Green Snake, listen carefully, keep a close eye on her, and don't let White Snake run rampant."

"Yes"*2

Hinata Hoshino took Xu Yueming back to his home. His home was quite large and decorated in a grand style, no wonder he could hire a bunch of masters.

“Mrs. Xu, I have found your husband, but you can see for yourself.”

Lian Qiao glanced behind Xingye and saw Xu Yueming looking like he was indulging in that thing too much. Although Lian Qiao was a little annoyed, she remained calm because there were outsiders present.

"Thank you, Daoist Master. But what should I do about my husband? Please enlighten me."

"He's exhausted and may never be able to have marital relations with you again. Here's some medicine; get it according to the prescription, and it will guarantee his survival. As for the rest, I can't guarantee anything."

"Waaah, what am I to do? This is my reward, please accept it, Daoist Master."

Lian Qiao took out an ancient book. The words on the cover had been worn away without leaving any trace. Hyuga Hoshino opened it and found that it was the Thirteen Needles of the Divine Gate.

Somewhat surprised, Lian Qiao noticed Hinata Hoshino's expression and began to explain.

“My ancestors practiced medicine and ran a clinic called Baoshengtang. This is what our ancestors left us.”
