With the exception of those from the five biggest sects, some other people who were not part of the sect were also here. They were the Old Weirdos who had been in seclusion for many years and had already reached Venerable Realm stage. Some hid in the shadows, largely unnoticed, and some appeared openly. A moment later, the underground fire vein started coming alive.
"Isn't that our Mr. Hong from Divine Wind Palace? You are here in person. That is totally unexpected. Seems you have high aspirations for the Evil Fire Kylin!"
"Humph. We did not expect that Dragon Thunder Palace would be interested in the Evil Fire Kylin. It is really unusual! Didn't Dragon Thunder Palace say they don't care about worldly affairs?"
"That is not true. Can't we catch the Evil Fire Kylin even if we don't care about worldly affairs?" The leader of Dragon Thunder Palace looked extremely young. He seemed to be in his twenties or thirties. However, he was dressed in a youthful way with a handful of hairs on the head and a shiny golden necklace around his neck. He watched Hong Xuanlong with a teasing smile.
Humph!" Hong Xuanlong stopped talking to him and gave a brittle laugh. He then turned around and glared at a beautiful Taoist priestess, who was standing above the lake, absorbing the essence of the magma lake. This magma lake surface had already sunk within a short time, because the lake had been absorbed by her gourd.
"My friend, if I'm not mistaken, you're from Youxian Temple?"
"So what?" The Taoist priestess, who was suspended in the air, did not bother to answer. However, several Taoist priests at the lake suddenly rushed to the crowd and set up a formation, "Our Youxian Temple is performing some rites here! Please leave!"
"Hahahaha!" Laughter was heard even before the Taoist priest's voice had died away, from a fat monk who was standing a short distance away "Where do you think you are? It's Four Eastern Regions, Central Mainland Region. Not your Three Western Regions. Don't try to brag!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm your grandfather!" The fat monk was actually Child-endowing Buddha. His red kasaya ballooned suddenly and he turned into a red cloud and flew directly towards the four Taoist priests.
Obviously they had not expected that Child-endowing Buddha would attack, so they were shocked. The experts of Youxian Temple were well-trained. Besides, they had already set up the sword formation. Even if this monk had a high cultivation, it would be impossible to break up the formation in such a short time.
No matter how strong the monk was, everything would become easy to resolve only if they could hold on for a while and wait for Martial Uncle Bai Lan, who was in the center of the lake, trying to regain his strength.
However, they had apparently underestimated the monk. Even though they utilized four Sword Qi, they were totally no match for him. The red cloud wrapped itself around the divided sword lights and suddenly blinding golden lights radiated from his big fat body.
"What's this...?"
"No...!"
"What is he doing? Is he crazy? Is he starting a fight now?"
Generally, people who came to this lake were experts in the immortal list. Even those who had low cultivation were at the Level of True Immortality. Although some had not reached Venerable Realm, they were also regarded as Genuine Immortal of Sage. Metaphysic Individual Immortal was the lowest level among them. They got where they were today by being shrewd and having a clear sense of priority. Nobody would be so foolish as to rush into such a so-called complex situation.
This Child-endowing Buddha did not look seem like a foolish person. Why did he suddenly act in that way?
This question emerged in other peoples' mind. Several monks who came from Bigwheel Temple together with Child-endowing Buddha, were also taken aback.
Child-endowing Buddha dashed ahead and warded off the sword light from the sword formation using a red cloud. Golden lights reflected off his body and in their midst, a crop of golden lotuses sprang up. Sutra chants filled the people's ears. A 20-meter-high Golden Buddha emerged and he instantly extended a giant palm towards that Taoist nun. At the same time, a sniggering voice could be heard above the sutra chants, "Lady, give me a child!"
The voice pealed like a great bell, echoing and mingling with the sutra chants. The meaning was really obscene, but it was recited in a very serious tone, which startled all the experts.
"Lady, give me a child!"
The voices were reverberating all around and in a short while, penetrated everyone's minds.
"Heavenly Dragon Zen Song! Oh no. He's using Heavenly Dragon Zen Song to do that!"
The Heavenly Dragon Zen Song, as a Divine Sense, had been used to convert the devil and to spread the teachings of Buddhism. Its great sound vibrated in one's heart. It was the one and only way to promote the Buddhist teachings. However, now Child-endowing Buddha took advantage of this Divine Sense to broadcast an obscene message in such an open way. The other monks standing behind him felt so ashamed that they wanted to bury themselves deep underground and vanish from sight to avoid all the astonished and strange looks they were receiving.
If Child-endowing Buddha had not been higher than them in rank, they would have scolded him.
"Imagine Bigwheel Temple fostering such a Living Buddha. It's hard to say it's a good or bad thing!" Such a thought had also occurred to others. Anyway, they had no intention to join the fight. Since Child-endowing Buddha had taken the lead, they would take this opportunity to test Youxian Temple's strength.
Youxian Temple did not belong to the Four Eastern Regions' sects. Instead, it was from Great Tang in the Three Western Regions. Great Tang was the strongest dynasty in the Three Western Regions and ten times more powerful than the Li dynasty in Penglai Region. With a long history dating back thousands of years, it was called the first dynasty in the Seven-deity Regions. Youxian Temple was the state religion in Great Tang and also the first sect. It was very famous, alongside with extremely strong sects like Fifth Manor and Palace of Eternal Life in the Three Western Regions. It was also at the same level with the five biggest sects in Four Eastern Regions.
Only the five biggest sects in the Seven-deity Regions had connections with the Three Western Regions. But they did not have a comprehensive knowledge about their strength. Now somebody was the leading the attack, which was a most welcome opportunity.
"You are asking for death!"
Seeing the monk dashing recklessly towards her and spouting obscene words, the Taoist nun's serene face turned ugly. The Purple Golden Gourd, whose mouth had been turned down, lifted up abruptly. A purple light instantly shot out towards Child-endowing Buddha.
"What a cruel lady you are! You're murdering your husband!"
Seeing the lights coming towards him, Child-endowing Buddha uttered a strange cry. Was this cry made through the Heavenly Dragon Zen Song? A silver stream shot out from him, turned into a bright starry river and flew into the purple light.
Sky-measuring Star Ruler!
White-robed Taoist Priestess' Purple Golden Gourd was formidable and powerful as it was a Pure Yang Celestial Device from olden times. However, the Sky-measuring Star Ruler was not a weak weapon either. It was also a Pure Yang Celestial Device of Upper Grade. It had been buried in the Constellation Sea for many years. This time it was set off by Child-endowing Buddha. A stream of unending star forces immediately formed a resplendent starry river and flew into the purple light.
Both were Pure Yang Celestial Devices of Upper Grade. One was the Purple Light while the other was the Star River Essential Qi. The two devices were so well-matched that neither could gain the upper hand. When the light collided with the starlight, the underground fire vein, which had been dim and lifeless, immediately turned brighter. The thunderous collisions took everyone's breath away.
Everybody present were immortals in the immortal list. Those with low cultivation were a little bit scared when they saw the great collision between two Pure Yang Celestial Devices. They stepped back because they did not want to be killed in this duel between two Pure Yang Celestial Device of Upper Grade.
"Is that the Sky-measuring Star Ruler? Ye Qingtian's device was taken away by Yunzhou Zhou Bao. How come Child-endowing Buddha has it now? Did he take it from Zhou Bao? It does not make sense. Wasn't he trapped by Zhou Bao with Yin and Yang Dust Formation? Later, Yukun Buddha rescued him. Isn't that the way it is?"Some people had these thoughts.
Seeing the Sky-measuring Star Ruler, some knowledgeable people were speechless with astonishment. They could not figure out why this thing was in Child-endowing Buddha's possession.
"Sh*t! This f*cking little devil!" Zhou Bao, standing in the dark, could not help cursing when he saw Child-endowing Buddha wielding the Sky-measuring Star Ruler without hesitation. He had asked Child-endowing Buddha to help him secretly. However, Child-endowing Buddha had rushed ahead and shown off the Sky-measuring Star Ruler as if he wanted others to know that he was on good terms with Zhou Bao.
However, there was nothing he could do. It was useless to get angry. He had to stay hidden and wait for the right opportunity.
The Sky-measuring Star Ruler and Purple Golden Gourd were equal in power. Neither Child-endowing Buddha nor White-robed Taoist Priestess was willing to stop the battle.
Seeing Child-endowing Buddha using the Sky-measuring Star Ruler to block her Purple Golden Gourd, brought a surprised look to her face. Then, swathes of silver silk emerged behind her and wrapped itself around Child-endowing Buddha.
"Lady, give me a child!"
Child-endowing Buddha shouted those words again. He extended his hands to reach out to the silver silk, and seemed to be entangled by the silver silk on purpose.
White-robed Taoist Priestess instinctively felt that something was wrong. At that moment, she had no idea why Child-endowing Buddha acted in such a way. Yet, she had every confidence in her Pure Yang Celestial Device. Her face had a very cold expression. Meanwhile, out of the Buddha's giant hands shot forth sharp silver light which shredded the giant palms into pieces. Now those silver silk showed their true features: silver whisk.
"Primordial Unity Horsetail Whisk!"
Hong Xuanlong was astounded when he saw the actual features of the whisk. As the direct disciple of the Hong Family, the second family in Divine Wind Palace, he was very familiar with the sects in Three Western Regions. Therefore, he recognized the history of the whisk.
"It is Primordial Unity Horsetail Whisk. Youxian Temple should have given it to that woman. I would be more cautious!" Hong Xuanlong thought.
