“Yeah, I never thought that the elixir refined by Brother Huaikong would be so powerful!”

Zhang Yuanshan sighed.

His Zhenwu sect was also a Taoist sect, so he was naturally familiar with alchemy, but he had never heard of the existence of someone who could refine such an elixir with the help of a Half-Step External Demon Pill.

Meng Qi sighed in his heart, this is the world of Journey to the West. If the legendary Taishang Laojun knew about this, he wondered if he would accept Shang Yi as his disciple.

Shang Yi didn't know whether Laojun would accept disciples or not, but Shang Yi knew clearly that among the common Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures he asked Meng Qi, Zhang Yuanshan and others to bring him, there was a brand new "Tao Te Ching".

Others may not know, but Shang Yi clearly felt that his memory had changed. A special new "Tao Te Ching" appeared in his memory.

This copy of the "Tao Te Ching" seemed to have been written just halfway, and still retained a hint of ink scent. However, Shang Yi was now on a death mission, and he did not have the distraction to take out the "Tao Te Ching" from the ring.

Instead, he took out seven jade bottles and gave them to seven people to store the pills.

Jiang Zhiwei looked at the pill in her hand, hesitated for a moment and said:

"I have already opened eight orifices. Even if I open one more orifice, it will be difficult to improve my combat power if I don't have new insights in the way of the sword. Therefore, I will keep this Seven Star Pill for the time being!"

Meng Qi pondered for a moment after hearing this and said:

"Me too, I'm still one point short of opening the mouth orifice, but I can't use it for now, so I'll save it for the critical moment!"

Shang Yi waved his hand and said:
"Whether you can use it or not, take the pills first. Maybe it can save your life at a critical moment! Even if you can't use it, the danger may be even greater in the next few days. You can give it to others then!"

After all, the pill was made by Shang Yi, so his words were final and no one argued anymore.

······
At this moment, Ge Huai'en, who was checking the bodies of the little demons on the ground to see if there were any survivors, spoke in a deep voice:
"You should have heard just now that this group of monsters are heading for this temple. In the next few days, there will definitely be other powerful monsters arriving. We should leave as soon as possible."

"The most bizarre thing about this temple is the plaque of 'Great Leiyin Temple'. Could this be their target?" Zhang Yuanshan guessed, "Of course, it is also possible that the real weirdness has been overlooked by us."

Meng Qi said quickly: "It's best to find a living person to interrogate. What if they are targeting us and we are unaware? This may be the way the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation wants to put us in a desperate situation."

"That makes sense..." Zhang Yuanshan and others began to search through the little demon's body, looking for a survivor.

Not long after, they found three seriously injured little demons that had failed to escape.

"What are you doing here?" Meng Qi regained some energy, his eyes like two dark pools.

The little demon was seriously injured and could not resist. He said in a daze: "Just now, a huge light rushed to the sky. It could be seen from far away! The two kings said that the opportunity has come and asked us to find this temple."

"What opportunity? Why do you know it's a temple?" Meng Qi became more and more confused. Was that light created by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, or was it emitted by the plaque of the Great Leiyin Temple?

The little demon suddenly became excited: "An opportunity to find the whereabouts of the Great Saints!"

"Great Sage, whereabouts?" Meng Qi felt even more strange. It was indeed the Great Sages he knew...

This little demon was a dog demon with a wolf's head. He chattered, "In the past, Tathagata of the West suddenly passed away. The Demon Saint Queen led the other great saints to attack Lingshan. Because the Great Saint Equal to Heaven returned to the demon clan, they successfully entered Lingshan. But later, only the Demon Saint Queen came out. When the opportunity came, the great saints could leave. Not long after, the Demon Saint Queen passed away. She used her own true fire to refine the remains into a Phoenix-winged black gold spear."

Meng Qi was stunned by the first half. This development was too weird!
The second half made Jiang Zhiwei and others look stunned. Why did this legend seem a little familiar?

"Is the Demon Saint the first phoenix in the creation of the world?" Zhang Yuanshan's face was solemn.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao said firmly.

Everyone's expression was shocked and suspicious. Meng Qi's mouth twitched: "Have you heard of Ananda?"

"Ananda? The Demon Saint has left an order that anyone who practices Ananda's sword technique to break the precepts must be killed by any demon!" The little demon's dog head was covered with a glow of heroic sacrifice.

Oh my god, what on earth is going on? Why is it consistent with the legends in my own world, but there is no record of Journey to the West in my own world? Meng Qi was completely confused and cursed Ananda.

"This... isn't there anyone in Heaven who is in charge of this matter?" he asked with a grin.

The little demon said with a stunned expression:

"I heard that the Nine Netherworld and the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm attacked the Heavenly Palace. Anyway, the ancestor of the Yellow Lion King was later sent to guard the gate of the Nine Netherworld. Now that the Heavenly Palace is gone, it is still there watching."

It heard this from the Yellow Lion King, and it was quite clear and detailed.

Demon Lord... Meng Qi and others were silent.

After a while, Meng Qi asked in a deep voice: "How long ago did this happen?"

"More than four hundred years, um, more than five hundred, or maybe more than six hundred..." The little demon only heard it from hearsay, so how could he know for sure.

Although everyone guessed it was within eight hundred years before Xiao Yao answered, after all, it sounded like something that happened after Journey to the West, but when they heard Xiao Yao's answer, they were still confused.

Zhang Yuanshan frowned, "The Demon Lord led the Nine Netherworld evil demons and the creatures of the demon world to attack the Heavenly Palace, and was killed by the Heavenly Emperor's Heavenly Dao Seal. His remains were scattered throughout the Samsara World, the demon world was destroyed, and the Nine Netherworld disappeared without a trace. The legends of the two worlds are surprisingly consistent."

Because of the incident at the Demon's Tomb, he changed the records of the main world to one in which the remains of the body were scattered throughout the reincarnation world.

Meng Qi also thought of the afterimage covered with the dust of time, crossing the eternity, just to say "You are late"...

There is actually a demon lord in Journey to the West! There is also this legend!
And Jiuling Yuansheng went to guard the exit of Jiuyou? In the main world, there is no record of this, not even Jiuling Yuansheng, only Taiyi Tianzun.

"But there is still a huge difference. The fall of the Demon Lord and the passing of the Demon Saint were separated by a long time." Jiang Zhiwei pondered, "The Demon Lord attacked the Heavenly Court and died a thousand years later. The Heavenly Court suddenly fell and the Nine Heavens disappeared. Afterwards, because the Emperor of Heaven fell, the top gods and immortals disappeared with the disappearance of the Nine Heavens. The remaining gods and immortals ruled their own territories and were no longer able to suppress the demons. So the ancient times entered the last era, the era of 'demons wreaking havoc on the earth'."

"This era lasted for countless tens of thousands of years. One Buddha after another passed away, and one immortal after another fell. The remnants could only defend the Pure Land and the Cave Heaven. In addition, after the Nine Netherworlds were closed, there were still evil demons and high gods in the world. Our human race lived a miserable life until the Human Emperor forged a sword on the Dragon Platform, beheaded the gods above, split the evil demons below, and eliminated the monsters in the middle, leading the human race to survive step by step."

"At this time, the Demon Saint suddenly passed away, and used his own true fire to refine the 'Phoenix Body' into a Phoenix-winged black gold spear. The era of demons causing chaos on the earth ended, and the human race prospered and ascended to the position of the supreme ruler of the universe, entering the Middle Ages. Although there is no exact record of the time, the Demon Saint passed away at least 50,000 years after the Demon Lord's death."

Afraid that Meng Qi didn't understand, she explained a few more words.

"Moreover, the world of Journey to the West is still in an era where demons are wreaking havoc on the human world..." Ruan Yushu pointed out incisively that although the Demon Saint has passed away, the demons still dominate the world.

Shang Yi smiled and said nothing more. Although he knew that the world of Journey to the West was a world derived from a period of time in the real world that was intercepted by the Lord of Morality, and was the existence closest to the real world, this was not the time to tell them.

A group of warriors in the awakening stage are discussing the will of heaven on the other side. Isn't it a bit ridiculous! ?
Qi Zhengyan said:

"These may involve some high-level secrets, and we may not be qualified to know them now!"

Meng Qi and others nodded heavily upon hearing this, without saying much.

Everyone knows that strength is the most important thing in this world. Without strength, one has no right to talk about secrets.

"Who are the great saints?" Jiang Zhiwei then turned to inquire about the situation of the demon race and added that she was very curious about the title of great saint. From the current records, above the demon king is the demon god, and above the demon god is the first demon in the creation of the world, the saint of the demon race, the Phoenix Queen. However, this is only the remaining classics of the human race and cannot be taken as accurate.

The little demon said in awe, "Grandpa Pingtian Dasheng, Grandpa Fuhai Dasheng, Grandpa Hun Tian Dasheng... and Grandpa Qitian Dasheng who became a Buddha and returned to the demon clan, as well as the Golden Winged Dapeng King and the Peacock King."

"I've only heard of the last two..." Jiang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Yuanshan and the others. They also shook their heads to indicate that they had not heard of the previous great saints. They only knew the last two Buddhist saints. Judging from the legends of the main world's Golden Winged Dapeng King and the Peacock King, the strength of these great saints is truly extraordinary, surpassing the demon gods in the general sense. At the worst, they should be equal to ordinary Bodhisattvas, right?
Meng Qi knew several great saints, but the world of Journey to the West was becoming more and more bizarre, and he had no way of judging their strength.

They asked a few more questions, but apart from the widely circulated news among the demon clan, the little demons all shook their heads and said they didn't know. They even didn't know which big demons and real demon kings there were.

Meng Qi remembered that the lion demon called him "Third Brother" and became alert. He then asked about the details: "How many generations of kings are you, the Yellow Lion King?"

"The Second King." The little demon answered without hesitation.

"Who is the Great King? What is his background?" Meng Qi took a deep breath.

The little demon said proudly: "My great king is a great demon who fought against the Monkey King for eight hundred rounds eight hundred years ago before he was defeated!"

Oh my god! Did we meet the real demon king? Meng Qi was shocked, and everyone else was also shocked. They concluded that the strength of the great saints was at least equivalent to that of a bodhisattva...

"What's its name?" Meng Qi forced himself to calm his inner fluctuations. He and his companions had killed two of its younger brothers and a group of minions. There was no way this could end peacefully!
The little demon raised his head and said, "My great king is called King Bi Bo, and was called Ben Bo Er Ba in the past."

Puff... Meng Qi spit all over Xiao Yao's face. It scared me to death! It turned out to be this guy!
Even bragging should consider the impact! This guy can't even fight with the Monkey King for 800 rounds. Even an agile mortal may not be able to beat him!

Of course, this happened eight hundred years ago. After living for eight hundred years, Benboerba must have some magical powers!

"You're lying. How could your Great King live for eight hundred years?" Seeing that Fu Zhenzhen and the others were still immersed in the description of the eight hundred rounds of battle between the Demon King and the Great Sage, Meng Qi quickly found fault with them.

Normally speaking, the monsters also have a lifespan. Even after Sun Wukong returned from mastering his martial arts, he was still hooked into the underworld and could only live for more than 300 years. However, he later forcibly crossed out the Book of Life and Death. How could Benboerba live for 800 years?
“Hmph, in the past, the Heaven Palace collapsed and the Thirty-Three Heavens disappeared. I don’t know how many elixirs fell into the world. My great king was blessed with great fortune and was fortunate enough to get one. He turned into a fathead fish and lived for one thousand five hundred years.” The little demon’s voice became louder when he saw that the great king was being suspected.

It can even change the type... Meng Qi could only marvel at the elixirs that Tianting Laojun made: "Who is more powerful, your first king, second king, or third king?"

"Of course it's the Great King!" The little demon said in awe, "The Second and Third Kings have to join forces to defeat it. It's no wonder that it fought the Great Sage for eight hundred rounds!"

"Within a radius of 800 miles, my great king is the most powerful!"

After hearing the little demon's description, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the Second King was very powerful, he died before he could display his full strength due to eating indiscriminately and the restraint of the magic mirror. But at least he was still at the level of half a step into the exterior scene. The strongest of the Bi Bo King Benboerba was at the level of just entering the exterior scene and swallowing the essence of heaven and earth.

What's more, they have Shang Yi, the real backup for the outdoor scene. If it was just the King Bi Bo, they would not be afraid at all.

Just at this moment, a nine-colored light suddenly flashed, and under the plaque of the Great Leiyin Temple, a handsome figure with fox ears and fox tail appeared. He exuded a very powerful aura, and even the celestial phenomena changed.

The Buddha's light emitted by the plaque of the Great Leiyin Temple was also crumbling.

However, the evil spirit disappeared like melting ice and snow in the next moment, and the figure in front of him looked like an ordinary human being.

"Everyone, my name is Hu Jiu, I have no ill will towards you, I just came here today to make a deal with you!"

After Hu Jiu restrained his demonic aura, he spoke calmly.

Meng Qi looked at Shang Yi and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he stepped forward and said:
"What is your purpose in contacting us? What do you want to trade?"

Hu Jiu looked at Meng Qi deeply and said:

"I would like to take advantage of your convenience and go to Lingshan Mountain!"

Meng Qi heard this and said suspiciously:
"We? We don't know how to enter Lingshan, you..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiu looked at Shang Yi and Meng Qi with an inexplicable expression, waved his hand and interrupted:

“Haha, you will know this in the future! This place is actually at the foot of the Holy Mountain. Many powerful monsters know that there is an entrance to the Holy Mountain here, but they are worried about the power left by the Buddhas on the mountain, so they did not take action. Instead, the fathead fish got the upper hand!
As for you, the foot of Lingshan Mountain has been sparsely populated for many years. You suddenly come here. It is very likely that a powerful person has sent you here to observe the situation in Lingshan Mountain. It will be much easier to follow you into Lingshan Mountain!
I will also help you conceal your aura. With me here, the demons below the outer scene will not attack you!"

Shang Yi interrupted with a strange look on his face:
"You just said that we were pawns sent by the powerful to investigate the situation at Lingshan?"

Hu Jiu smiled and said, "What else? It's impossible that you just happened to encounter a teleportation array or a space crack and happened to appear here together!"

Shang Yi was silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at Ge Huai'en and said:

"In that case, Huai En, you can tell me where the lucky spot is. Since you want us to work, you have to show us the way!"

Qi Zhengyan, Meng Qi and others were stunned when they heard this, and a terrible guess suddenly came to their minds.

Ge Huai'en threw a coin to see which direction to escape.

"That way." He didn't ask for directions directly.

Meng Qi was stunned. Ge Huai'en's right hand was pointing to the west.

"West?"

Meng Qi felt strange, as if he and others also had to travel west, but with their current strength, they could only make snacks for the goblins.

In this way, Hu Jiu and Shang Yi and others were in a stalemate all night. Fortunately, Shang Yi stayed on guard against Hu Jiu, otherwise Meng Qi and others would not be able to bear it.

Soon, dawn arrived and the sun rose from the east. A ray of sunlight shone into the temple, bringing brilliance and vitality.

At this moment, the plaque of the Great Leiyin Temple trembled slightly, as if Buddhist sounds were gathering here again, as if it could be used for a while longer.

"It's the second day." Meng Qi sighed, turned to Ge Huai'en and said, "Let's calculate the good and bad luck again. There may be some changes."

Ge Huai'en nodded, took out those ancient copper coins, and began to predict the good or bad luck of his current situation.

The copper coin was thrown out, tumbling in the air, and after landing on the ground, it made a crisp tinkling sound.

Snapped!
He still gestured for everyone to head west.

As for King Bi Bo, Fox Jiu's aura is here, so the fathead fish doesn't dare to come over at all.

When Hu Jiu rose to power, he killed many big monsters around him. The King Bi Bo and the Lion Monster had both been dealt with by Hu Jiu, but Hu Jiu knew in his heart that the two monsters were characters in the script of God's will, so he did not kill them.

Day 6, night.

"West." Ge Huai'en looked at the divination result with cold sweat on his forehead. (End of this chapter)
