Journey to the West: Starting with the True Lord of the Pure Land

- We are dedicated to providing the most comfortable reading experience.

As soon as the voice arrived, a demon king strode into the hall.

The newcomer's brows betrayed a hint of menace, and his gaze was sharp and piercing, exuding an air of domineering and fierce power.

How can we know what he looks like? There is a poem to prove it:

Its golden eyes gleam brightly, its steel claws are sharp. Its head touches the heavens, its feathers flutter among the clouds.

Soaring through the vast ocean with the wind, its wings cleave the ladder to heaven. With head held high and strides confidently, it exudes a sense of soaring to the heavens and reaching for the stars.

It was Peng Demon King who had arrived.

When the Bull Demon King and the Lion Camel King saw that it was him, they both stood up to greet him.

The Bull Demon King laughed loudly, "Who do we have here? It's Brother Peng! Please take a seat; we've been needing someone with such a generous appetite!"

Lion Camel King Yi Hongsheng said, "Brother Peng, you've come at the perfect time. I was just talking with Brother Niu about the old times, the wine was still warm, and we weren't quite done talking!"

I recently heard that you were braving the winds and waves in the North Sea, teasing the dragons and monsters, having a wonderful time. How come you have no time to come to Xiniu Hezhou today?

When Peng Demon King approached, he didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the stone bench. His minions then offered him a giant goblet.

He took the drink and downed it in one gulp, then wiped his mouth. His sharp, lightning-like eyes narrowed slightly as he said:

"Although the North Sea is vast and there are many dragons and snakes, it cannot satisfy my appetite."

I have always enjoyed chewing on some dragons and snakes in the North Sea, just to have a good meal.

I ate too much the other day, and the dragons and their descendants there fled at the mere sight of me, hiding themselves deep within.

Having nothing to do, I thought I'd take a stroll around the West Sea to see if there was any food I liked.

Upon hearing this, both the Bull Demon King and the Lion Camel King burst into laughter.

Demons act impulsively, and the law of the jungle prevails. What the Peng Demon King said is precisely their nature.

The Roc Demon King's gaze was sharp; it lingered on the Bull Demon King's face for only a moment before he raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:

"Brother Niu looks even better than before, full of energy and vitality. However…"

He squinted slightly, staring at the pair of rugged, curved horns on the Bull Demon King's head.

"Why are there some burn marks on these precious bull horns, as if they were recently injured?"

With Brother Niu's cultivation and the hardness of this iron horn, who in West Niu Hezhou could possibly harm him?

He had lived in Beihai for a long time, and although the Battle of Huangniuling was quite a big deal, it was far away and he did not know the details.

Upon hearing this, the Lion Camel King's gaze also suddenly sharpened.

He had previously secluded himself to heal his injuries and stabilize his cultivation, rarely concerning himself with external affairs. Now, after being reminded by the Demon King Peng, he took a closer look and indeed noticed something unusual about the bull's horns.

Lion Camel King immediately said in a deep voice, "Brother, could it be some blind fool who dared to launch a sneak attack on you?"

The Bull Demon King, his face flushed with embarrassment at being exposed by the two, quickly regained his composure, laughed heartily, and waved his hand, saying:

"Brother Peng has a good eye; these few old marks are a bit embarrassing for you two brothers."

Some time ago, the Heavenly Court's True Lord Jingfa toured Xiniu Hezhou. I, Old Niu, was honored by the kindness of my fellow Daoists here, so I stepped forward to explain the principles to him.

Since we're trying to reason things out, some disagreements are inevitable, but it's nothing to worry about. My two brothers, please don't take it to heart.

"The True Lord of Jingfa?"

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful glint flashed in the Peng Demon King's golden eyes. He knew little about recent events in the Heavenly Court, and the title sounded unfamiliar to him.

However, the title "True Lord" carries considerable weight.

He suddenly remembered something and said:

"Brother Niu's words remind me of a strange thing I saw when I passed by the West Sea the other day."

Peng Demon King paused, and seeing that the two of them were looking at him, he continued:

"On my way to the Western Sea, I saw thunder rumbling in the sky above the Western Sea."

With a single, boundless thunderous halberd, a powerful attack instantly obliterated an old mirage demon that had cultivated the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

That thunderous aura was quite impressive. I wonder if it was the work of the True Lord that Brother Niu mentioned?

The Bull Demon King's hand holding the cup paused almost imperceptibly. His smile remained, but a hint of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.

Could it be a blue mirage? When did the True Lord go to the Western Sea?

His mind raced, but he laughed heartily and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"The Law of Thunder is the orthodox law of the Heavenly Court. Although those who are skilled in this art are not as numerous as the carp crossing the river, there are still quite a few."

Whether it was done by that True Lord, Old Ox has not witnessed it himself and dares not make a rash judgment.

However…

The Bull Demon King put down his wine cup, looked around at his two brothers, and said in a somber tone:

"This True Lord Jingfa is indeed not someone to be trifled with. If you two brothers encounter him in the future, you should be careful."

Upon hearing this, the Roc Demon King's brows furrowed with a hint of murderous intent, as if he didn't take it seriously. He merely snorted softly and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the Bull Demon King said no more, but instead raised his cup in invitation, laughing:

"Enough of the small talk! We've all gathered here today, so let's drink to our hearts' content and not leave until we're completely drunk!"

"That's exactly right!" Lion Camel King laughed and agreed.

The three demons then abandoned their previous conversation and began drinking and exchanging toasts.

The hall was filled with hearty laughter and the clinking of wine cups, creating a lively and festive atmosphere where guests and hosts alike enjoyed themselves immensely.

Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, the three demons at the table almost simultaneously showed a slight change in expression and looked eastward.

In the far eastern horizon, an indescribable, powerful aura suddenly erupted and spread throughout the heavens.

Although the boundless azure energy was not visible, the infinite vitality and creative power it contained had already stirred the hearts of those who had reached the profound level of cultivation.

Clearly, an immense blessing is about to be bestowed upon the world.

"This is……"

The Bull Demon King's thick eyebrows twitched. He put down his wine cup, looked eastward, and his expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.

Peng Demon King reacted the fastest, and the two sharp golden lights in his eyes suddenly surged, like two golden lamps lighting up.

He suddenly stood up, bowed to the Bull Demon King and the Lion Camel King, and said in a hurried voice:

"Brother Ox, Brother Lion Camel, this is an extraordinary stroke of luck! Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-millennium event. I must take my leave now, please excuse me!"

After speaking, his figure transformed into a blurry golden line, piercing through the cave and shooting straight into the sky.

A clear, resonant cry that pierced the clouds immediately came from outside the cave.

Suddenly a strong wind arose, and a golden-winged roc soared into the sky, its wings drooping over the clouds.

With a mere flap of its wings, it tore through the sky and disappeared into the horizon; its speed was so great that it could be described as traveling thousands of miles in an instant.

The Lion Camel King slowly put down his wine cup, his powerful body surging slightly with energy. He looked eastward, his eyes flashing with divine light, clearly deeply moved.

He turned to look at the Bull Demon King and asked in a deep voice:

"Brother, this opportunity is extraordinary, and it may attract powerful figures from all directions. Brother Peng is gone, and we brothers..."

His implication was self-evident.

With such a great opportunity before them, how could they, with their level of cultivation, not be tempted?

The Bull Demon King sat in the main seat, his expression changing.

He was naturally tempted, his large, bright eyes gleaming, and his heart surging with ambition.

As the leader of the demon race in Xiniu Hezhou, if he didn't take this opportunity that would shake the world, wouldn't he lose face?

However, the Bull Demon King's gaze unconsciously and quickly glanced towards the inner room.

He could almost hear Lady Rakshasa's gentle words of advice again, mentioning that although he hadn't suffered a loss in his previous sparring session with the True Lord at Wild Ox Ridge,

However, the situation was fraught with danger, and the ox's horns were slightly charred. He was advised to be more cautious in the near future and not to go out easily again, lest he get involved in trouble.
