Revitalization of Spirituality: My Front Door Leads to a Miniature Universe

Mount Tai is majestic and imposing, its territory expanded many times over. Its yellowish-brown mountain range stretches endlessly, with towering peaks reaching into the clouds, presenting a boundless and primordial landscape.

However, most of the area is extremely desolate, with towering yellow sands blown by the wind in the Gobi Desert, creating a stark contrast with the original mountainous terrain of the earth, making it seem like a forbidden zone.

The mountaintop was shrouded in mist, appearing from the outside as if it were hidden in the clouds, making it difficult to see clearly.

Gu Yuan and Bodhi Gene and the others moved forward in the mist, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, fearing an ambush.

After all, the extraordinary person who could reach the top of the mountain was no ordinary person; there might even be a hidden master among them. Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

They only occasionally encountered other people fighting, but they didn't meddle. Instead, they gradually approached the Jade Emperor Peak, which is the highest point of Mount Tai and the location where the Temple of the Prefectural Lord was discovered.

As they drew closer, the sounds of fighting grew increasingly brutal. In front of the South Heavenly Gate lay corpses lying haphazardly, their blood flowing and staining the earth red—a truly horrific sight.

Nangong Xian'er's pretty face turned pale and red with fright. She was gagging and her body involuntarily moved closer to Gu Yuan. Then, like a white rabbit, she nestled on his shoulder, leaving only her big black eyes scanning the surroundings.

"Xian'er, don't be so presumptuous!"

The old man from Bodhi Gene was startled and quickly warned him. Cold sweat broke out on his palms, and his face turned ashen.

Nangong Xian'er's actions undoubtedly used the "Bull Demon King" as a shield... but it was more like a mount, because her body was already suspended in the air, hanging on the former.

If he hadn't been stopped in time, he really suspected that the former would have climbed up to "Bull Demon King"—it was simply reckless.

Nangong Xian'er, belatedly realizing what had happened, gasped... her face full of bitterness... these were all "aftereffects" left behind in Qin Chuan.

When I was in danger or scared, I would instinctively lean on the other person's back... and now it's become a conditioned reflex.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

Nangong Xian'er "jumped down" from Gu Yuan, repeatedly apologizing. After all, the former's identity was no longer ordinary; he was a genuine "king," standing at the top of the known combat power on Earth.

"Your possession techniques are getting more and more sophisticated."

Gu Yuan smiled faintly and teased, without blaming her.

Bodhi Gene and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing relief. They had originally thought that "Bull Demon King's" statement that he and Nangong Xian'er were friends was just a polite remark, but now it seemed that it was indeed true.

There are countless benefits to being able to establish a relationship with such a great Buddha.

But the next second, the expressions of the group changed drastically, and their hearts jumped into their throats. The former's golden hand was clearly "grabbing" at Nangong Xian'er, terrifying beyond measure, shaking the surrounding mist so much that it surged like a raging wave.

"boom!"

The giant golden hand collided with something, producing a tremendous boom that made people's eardrums ache.

A terrifying energy rippled around Nangong Xian'er, nearly blasting her away. Fortunately, Gu Yuan protected her and helped her regain her footing.

"They live up to their reputation and are qualified to share this opportunity with us. However, those few should not come in."

Inside the South Heavenly Gate, a figure slowly emerged, its entire body radiant as if a divine fire were burning within it.

This was a man in white, with a refined and elegant appearance. His sword-like eyebrows were upright, exuding a scholarly air with a hint of heroism, but his eyes were cold and arrogant.

"Birdman?"

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, staring at the other person. This was not a mockery, but rather an indication that the former was truly a "birdman".

The man's arms clearly resembled a pair of enormous bird claws, with five incredibly sharp fingers. He held an ancient longbow, and upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that the bow was covered with numerous cracks, indicating that it was a damaged treasure.

Although it was true, the man's face darkened, and he let out a low groan, clearly dissatisfied. "As long as I completely refine the Transformation Fruit, I can become human... It's just a matter of time."

"And then what? Aren't you still a birdman?"

Gu Yuan waved his hand and spoke calmly. Since the former had attacked him, he certainly wouldn't be polite. Moreover, he felt that what he said was right. Even if he had transformed into human form, his true form was still a bird... so calling him a birdman wasn't inappropriate.

The expressions of the Bodhi Gene group behind him changed repeatedly; they wanted to laugh but dared not, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The man before them was clearly a beast king, someone they had to look up to. Only the ferocious "Bull Demon King" dared to mock them like this.

The white-clad man's expression changed repeatedly, his face turning icy cold, a murderous intent surging within him.

"You're still angry? I haven't settled the score with you for attacking me before!"

Gu Yuan was speechless. He was the one who was attacked, but the perpetrator was angry, which made him very frustrated.

"I told you I was just testing your strength. I won't stop you if you come in."

The man in white snorted coldly, as if explaining, but his expression remained arrogant.

"Standing before the Southern Heavenly Gate, do you really think you're some kind of gatekeeper general?"

Gu Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile, feeling a bit like laughing and crying at the same time. He never expected that what happened to Sun Wukong would happen to him. He was afraid he would have to fight his way from the South Heavenly Gate to the Jade Emperor Peak!

"You bastard, do you know who you're facing? This is the infamous Golden Roc King!"

Just then, another figure emerged from the South Heavenly Gate, a complete human form!

Bodhi Gene and the others immediately changed their expressions. A "birdman" who had not yet fully transformed was already a huge headache.

Now another creature has appeared, completely transformed into human form... The pressure is doubled.

Everyone's gaze turned to Gu Yuan, after all, he was the main force. Even though the former's brows were furrowed, he then laughed heartily, "I thought you were some kind of ferocious beast in human form, but it turns out you're just a human."

Upon hearing this, Bodhi Gene and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions were still very suspicious. Nangong Xian'er asked, "King Peng, you just said that only Brother Niu was allowed to enter, so why was the man next to you allowed to enter? His strength is not that great."

She was very polite, because she knew that the former's true form was a Golden Roc, so she addressed him as the Roc King. She dared not call him "Birdman" like Gu Yuan did.

Before the Peng King could speak, the man beside him answered first. His face, which was not particularly handsome, now showed a hint of pride, and his posture suddenly straightened. He said, "Because the Peng King is my adoptive father, Lü Dingyuan!"

The man introduced himself very solemnly and proudly, as if afraid that others would not know his name, and even introduced himself in the process.

Then his eyes swept over Bodhi Gene and the others, casting two sharp beams of light as he continued, "If you also recognize Peng King as your godfather, you can naturally come in as well."

"running dog."

As soon as Lü Dingyuan finished speaking, Nangong Xian'er angrily rebuked him, seemingly very disgusted by his act of recognizing a "beast" as his father.

"What do you know, you wretched woman? King Peng is a peerless genius destined to rule the world. It's your good fortune to have him as your godfather!"

Being called a lackey, Lü Dingyuan instantly lost face. He mustered his spirits and roared angrily, his long sword flashing coldly, his fighting spirit soaring.

Peng Wang had been observing from the sidelines the whole time, a faint smile on his lips, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being fawned over.

"So noisy!"

Just then, Gu Yuan moved, his aura suddenly surged, his clothes fluttered, and hundreds of divine rays burst forth from his body. Without any warning, golden hands reached out, like dazzling pillars supporting the sky, enveloping the direction where Peng Wang was standing.

The former seemed to be targeting Nangong Xian'er and the others, but in reality it was targeting him. Since that was the case, Gu Yuan wouldn't show any mercy and would simply kill them.

Faced with the sudden attack, Peng Wang was caught off guard and was blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground with a trickle of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it, they ambushed me!"

The former truly lived up to his reputation as a member of the Golden Roc clan; his physical body was ridiculously strong. Even after being struck by Gu Yuan's powerful attack, he was still able to stubbornly get up. Anyone else would have been turned into bloody mud long ago.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan transformed into a streak of light, swooping down at incredible speed. His hands traced mysterious patterns in the air, emanating a terrifying aura: "Mountain Embrace Seal!"

He whispered a command, and a truly ancient, verdant mountain materialized on his chest, gradually enlarging until it blotted out the sky and enveloped the Peng King beneath it.

"boom!"

As Gu Yuan hurled the object with all his might, Mount Tai shook violently. Divine light shone brightly, rocks flew everywhere, and the mist vanished instantly as if it had encountered the blazing sun.

Peng Wang's body was half smashed, and he howled in agony on the ground, his cries filled with unbearable pain.

It all happened so fast that no one present could react in time.

Lu Dingyuan's face turned ashen, his body stiffened, and his "godfather," the all-powerful Peng King, was smashed in two and howled on the ground like a dead dog.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran, hiding in the mountains, fearing retribution.

While Nangong Xian'er and the others were still immersed in the unparalleled power of the "Bull Demon King," who had shattered the body of a king with a single blow, how terrifying must that power be to do it?

My admiration for the former deepened even further.

However, Gu Yuan showed no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned deeply. He knew that the reason he was able to defeat Peng Wang so quickly was because he caught him off guard.

What puzzled him was that the former, despite having lost his fighting ability, still had a vicious look in his eyes, showed no sign of begging for mercy, and had a horribly distorted face.
