Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

"Third brother, now that we've taken his spiritual fruit, will Zhenyuan Daxian come knocking on our door?" Yangli Daxian asked, his expression slightly changing.

Lu Qingxuan pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Probably not. Zhen Yuanzi Immortal should have already noticed that the spiritual fruit was taken. If he wanted to find us, he would have come long ago..."

Furthermore, the two boys had just said that the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi had personally told them that he had never had such a thing, which clearly indicated that they did not want to investigate further.

After hearing this, the two demons breathed a slight sigh of relief, but were still somewhat uneasy.

"However, let's be careful. From now on, don't mention the Ganoderma lucidum fruit again, and don't tell anyone about it," Lu Qingxuan added.

Although they didn't know what Zhen Yuanzi the Great Immortal was planning, they had indeed benefited. Since the other party was unwilling to investigate further, they had better do the same.

Hu Li and Yang Li nodded repeatedly.

The three demons hid in the pine forest for a while longer, making sure that Qingfeng and Mingyue would not return, before riding their clouds back towards Zhongnan Mountain.

Several days later, when the three demons returned to the Taoist temple, the temple was covered with a thin layer of fallen leaves, adding to its desolate atmosphere.

After a brief tidying up, Lu Qingxuan took out the jade bottle and used Taoist techniques to deliver the spirit to the afterlife.

After finishing everything, Lu Qingxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the matter could be considered resolved satisfactorily.

As for the black fish demon's elder brother, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the Great King Linggan from Journey to the West. He has cultivated under Guanyin Bodhisattva for many years and his strength should not be underestimated.

Even in Journey to the West, he is someone who can go toe-to-toe with Pigsy and Sandy.

If the other party does come looking for us, we need to be careful.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingxuan looked outside. Although Zhongnan Mountain was a good place, their Taoist temple lacked some means of survival.

It would be much safer if there were a protective formation.

Upon realizing this, Lu Qingxuan had already formed an idea in his mind, and immediately his soul left his body and ascended to heaven.

He wasn't good at array formations, but the two boys, Jin and Yin, had been cultivating under the Supreme Dao Ancestor for a long time, so they might have some ready-made array formations.

Upon learning the purpose of their visit, Jin Jiao casually pulled out the Five Directions Command Flag from his sleeve.

"This is the Five Directions Flag Formation. Although it is not as powerful as the real Five Elements Formation, which can cover the sky and sun, it is still quite good. If you plant these five flags in the five directions of east, south, west, north and center, it can be transformed into a mountain-protecting formation."

"At that time, let alone breaking in, even getting close will be detected by this formation," Jinjiao explained.

Lu Qingxuan was overjoyed and quickly accepted it. After exchanging pleasantries, he finally returned to his senses.

Upon learning that Lu Qingxuan had found a formation, Hu Li and Yang Li were overjoyed and immediately followed Lu Qingxuan's instructions to find a suitable location around the Taoist temple to place the formation.

Sensing that the five array flags had all returned to their positions, Lu Qingxuan's mind stirred, and the instant he poured his magic power into them, five-colored light burst forth from the array flags, then intertwined to form a five-colored light curtain that enveloped the Taoist temple for several miles around.

"What a treasure! With this formation, even if those demon kings come, we won't be afraid." Tiger Power Immortal praised, sensing the energy flowing on the light screen.

Lu Qingxuan smiled and added another layer of magic power to the core of the array to stabilize the light barrier.

He looked up at the sky. The five-colored light curtain was faintly visible in the sunlight. It was not easy to notice unless you looked carefully. If any evil spirits approached, the great formation would be activated on its own, so it was safe.

Afterwards, Lu Qingxuan took some spirit stones and buried them under the Five Directions Banner as the foundation of the formation.

After finishing everything, the three demons returned to their respective quiet rooms to cultivate. For them, cultivation occupied most of their time, while slaying demons and monsters was merely a pastime in their spare time.

For several days, the three demons were immersed in cultivation. During this time, the number of temples dedicated to the Three Immortals increased again. Without exception, they were all shocked by the story of the three demons helping people return to life.

...

On this day, the wind was gentle and the clouds were light in Zhongnan Mountain. The autumn sunlight filtered through the pine and cypress leaves and dappled the Taoist temple.

The three demons each meditated and cultivated in their respective quiet rooms. Their intensive training over the past few days had further enhanced their magical power, especially after refining the nine Ganoderma lucidum fruits, which made their vitality even stronger.

Lu Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the futon, about to absorb the newly generated magical power into his dantian, when his heart skipped a beat and a strange sense of crisis surged into his heart.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a golden cloud pressing down on Zhong Nanshan at an extremely fast speed from the southeast.

Its power was far beyond what the Black Fish Demon could match.

"They still came..." Lu Qingxuan said in a low voice.

The two demons, Tiger Power and Sheep Power, also sensed that aura and rushed out of the quiet room almost simultaneously.

"Such powerful demonic energy!" Tiger Power Immortal clicked his tongue in amazement. This was stronger than any of the demon kings at the Hundred Demon Banquet.

The golden clouds arrived extremely quickly, pressing down on the Taoist temple in the blink of an eye.

Golden clouds rolled and revealed a figure, wearing a golden helmet that shone brightly and golden armor that seemed to shimmer like rainbows. It was none other than the Great King of Inspiration!

He stood atop a cloud, looking down down at the Taoist temple. "Lu Qingxuan, come out and face your death!"

The voice of the King of Inspiration reverberated through the sky like thunder, causing the pines and cypresses in the mountains to tremble.

Lu Qingxuan stood calmly before the main hall. "This humble Taoist is here. May I ask what advice you have for me, fellow Daoist?"

"What do you have to say?" King Linggan sneered, his eyes flashing with cold light. "You killed my brother and turned him to ashes alive. I've come today to avenge him!"

"If you know what's good for you, come out and accept your death, and I will spare the lives of your two elder brothers."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and razing your temple to the ground, sending all three of you to your deaths!"

Tiger Power Immortal, enraged, shouted, "Hey! That black fish demon has committed countless evils and deserves to die for harming children! You, as a disciple of the Bodhisattva, instead of trying to persuade him to do good, come to avenge him. Aren't you disgracing the Bodhisattva?"

King Linggan was furious. He turned his gaze to Tiger Power and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you mention the name of a Bodhisattva?"

With a wave of his hand, a golden light slashed towards Hu Li like a sharp sword.

The golden light was as fast as lightning and unstoppable, and in the blink of an eye it crashed into the five-colored light curtain.

"boom!"

A loud bang shook the entire Taoist temple.

The five-colored light curtain swirled violently, rapidly eroding the golden light.

Seeing that he had failed to break the formation, King Linggan's eyes flashed with surprise, then he coldly snorted, "You do have some skill, but how many times can this formation save you?"

He made a grasping motion in his palm, and a nine-petaled red copper hammer appeared in his hand. With a single strike, he smashed it fiercely towards the great formation.

But the Five Banners Formation was a product of the Tushita Palace, so how could it be so easily broken?

The attack struck, leaving the formation completely unharmed.

Seeing that the light screen had become even brighter, the Inspiration King frowned slightly, withdrew his attack, and landed in front of the formation.

He sized Lu Qingxuan up and down, then said coldly, "Don't think I'm unprepared. Didn't you save the people of that city? If you don't step out of the formation today, I'll flood the city with the Clear Water River. I want to see if they have such a protective formation!"
