Chapter 105 Reading Preparation
Xu Xian subsequently arranged for the appearance of the Long-Armed Ape, the Six-Eared Macaque, Wuzhiqi, the Scorpion Demon, the Scorpion Woman, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
Tribulations such as those involving spider demons and the Yellow Wind Monster.
Then he fell silent and quietly cultivated himself in Buzhou Mountain.
Xu Xian had excellent aptitude, and the resources in Buzhou Mountain were exceptionally abundant, making his cultivation journey smooth sailing.
In just over a century, he had already reached the pinnacle of transcendence and sainthood.
Level 80!
He was just one step away from becoming a true master of supernatural powers.
But this step is as difficult as an insurmountable barrier.
Throughout the entire era, only the monkey and Erlang Shen achieved this.
Xu Xian felt quite satisfied with his own state.
After more than a hundred years of cultivation, he became restless and began to inspect Mount Buzhou.
As usual, Han Mei followed beside him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
This extraordinary corpse has been utterly loyal to Xu Xian ever since it submitted to him.
Xu Xian was naturally generous to him, bestowing upon him both peaches of immortality and imperial wine.
Having raised Drought Demon to level 76, he is definitely considered a supreme powerhouse.
But today, the drought demon seemed hesitant to speak.
Xu Xian, riding a cloud to inspect Buzhou Mountain, asked, "What's wrong?"
The drought demon looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "Master, by interfering in the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism, we are clearly going against the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist community."
Xu Xian laughed and said, "What's wrong? Scared?"
"Of course we're not afraid! It's just that our strength is insufficient to fight against the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect, which could lead to a cataclysmic upheaval."
The Drought Demon gazed at the demons atop the eight mountain peaks, its eyes filled with an extremely solemn and cold light: "Master, I feel that our cultivation on Buzhou Mountain is too stagnant. We need to make these demons feel a sense of urgency!"
"You go and make the arrangements."
"yes!"
Drought Demon accepted the order and immediately gathered eight forces.
He led his eight troops to pay homage to Xu Xian on the cloud, and then began to explain the situation of Buzhou Mountain.
While Buzhou Mountain is undoubtedly the most supreme blessed land, it has also been coveted by the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect.
Furthermore, the master's desire for all the demons of Buzhou Mountain to achieve perfect merit further aroused great dissatisfaction from the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect.
Drought Demon spoke calmly, but his expression was extremely serious.
The eight groups of people on Mount Buzhou had long heard about the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism.
They also knew that their master wanted to take this opportunity to involve the demons of Buzhou Mountain so that they could achieve perfect merit.
This made the demons extremely excited.
Hearing what the Drought Demon said, the eight tribes were naturally aroused and wished they could immediately attack the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect.
Drought Demon suppressed the demons' emotions and began to explain his next plan.
"Starting today, the monthly training resources will be doubled."
"With a time limit of fifty years, an assessment will be conducted every fifty years, and only those who pass all the assessments can participate in the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism."
The assessment criteria are as follows:
Clearly, Drought Demon had been thinking about what he had just said for a long time.
Having just assembled eight groups, they had already established extremely comprehensive assessment standards.
The time limit for cultivation, cultivation level, and supernatural powers are taken into account to determine whether the demons are cultivating seriously.
The standards are not complicated, but they are extremely reasonable.
The demons were naturally even more excited upon hearing the drought demon's words.
They lived in Buzhou Mountain and practiced their cultivation every day without ceasing.
With double the resources, their cultivation can progress by leaps and bounds.
The demons were all confident that they could participate in the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism.
Xu Xian looked at the excited demon and nodded in satisfaction, though he didn't really care.
With his abilities, plus the Hunyuan Taiyi Sword and the Lotus Lantern, two supreme treasures for offense and defense, he was confident that he could stop the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect.
With the help of the demons in Buzhou Mountain, the Heavenly Court would be able to back down and dare not act rashly.
At that time, it will be time for Xu Xian to truly negotiate terms.
Of course, a major battle was inevitable.
Xu Xian was ready.
In order for all the demons of Buzhou Mountain to achieve perfect merit, they must all participate.
Xu Xian examined the cultivation of the eight groups of people and was deeply moved.
Compared to the long lifespans of immortals, Xu Xian's time occupying Buzhou Mountain was not very long.
The strength of the eight forces has undergone a dramatic change.
Not only has the number of demon kings more than doubled, but the leaders of the eight tribes have all reached the realm of transcendence and sainthood.
"Such a powerful force even surpasses Erlang Shen's seven brothers of Meishan, Xiaotian Dog, and the three thousand grass-headed gods."
Xu Xian's power is now extremely vast; even in the mythological world, he would definitely be considered a regional lord.
Not to mention, Bodhi Patriarch was standing behind him.
It is enough to save his life even in the most extreme circumstances.
After inspecting Buzhou Mountain, Xu Xian then took a stroll around Shuangcha Ridge.
Today, Shuangcha Ridge is no longer the desolate mountain range depicted in the original series; it could even be called Shuangcha City.
Because there is a very popular temple here, which enshrines a deity named Xu Xian.
The temple has very few people; apart from the Scorpion Woman who is the temple keeper, there are only seven or eight others.
In fact, these seven or eight people all came from Buzhou Mountain and were monsters sent by Xu Xian to assist the Scorpion Woman.
Of course, although they are monsters, they do good deeds and have an excellent reputation.
Because of this temple, countless high-ranking officials and nobles flocked to Shuangcha Ridge.
Furthermore, the fact that the Scorpion Woman and the seven or eight lay Buddhists never changed their appearance made the temple even more famous.
Countless high-ranking officials and nobles came here, attracting even more ordinary people.
Over time, this place eventually developed into a city.
Xu Xian made a hand seal, transforming himself into an ordinary mortal, and went for a stroll around the temple.
He randomly found a lay Buddhist and asked him to treat his cold.
The layman's true form was a blue dragon, whose original temper was extremely irritable.
But living in Shuangcha Ridge for a hundred years has made this green dragon much gentler.
She didn't recognize Xu Xian, but she still took his pulse and gently inquired about his condition.
Xu Xian answered them one by one, chuckling to himself.
Because this azure dragon doesn't need to diagnose its illness at all; it can directly heal itself using its [medical] supernatural powers.
But because Xu Xian casually remarked before they arrived, they should act more genuinely.
This has led to the fact that even nowadays, lay Buddhists still have to be patient when taking pulses.
After inquiring about the patient's condition, the young lay Buddhist pretended to prescribe a medicinal soup that wouldn't kill him, and then secretly used his medical supernatural powers.
Help Xu Xian cure his cold.
Xu Xian briefly observed the temples at Shuangcha Ridge and found that the other lay Buddhists were all doing extremely well, just like this green dragon.
He nodded in satisfaction and then went to Five Elements Mountain.
Beneath the Five Elements Mountain, the monkeys remained confined to the mountain.
Xu Xian brought him peaches and imperial wine, which he enjoyed immensely.
After chatting for a while, Xu Xian hinted that his great karma was about to arrive.
The monkey said no more and just waited quietly.
However, he was, after all, a monkey, and was extremely lively and active.
After enduring this for about thirty to fifty years, my mood became heavy again.
Xu Xian had no choice but to come and talk to the monkey every few decades to calm the restless, intelligent stone monkey.
He left Five Elements Mountain and soon arrived at Black Wind Mountain.
Inside the Black Wind Cave, the Black Bear Monster continued his cultivation.
In the original storyline, his cronies naturally did not appear.
Or rather, his cronies have already been killed by the bear monster and become its food.
Xu Xian glanced around briefly, then quietly left.
Then, we arrived at Huangfengling.
This is the sacred ground of the yellow-haired weasel spirit.
This monster possesses the Samadhi Divine Wind, and apart from a few treasures, there is nothing else that can defeat it.
Xu Xian once enlightened this demon, but now a hundred years have passed, and it is unknown how his cultivation has progressed.
Xu Xian floated above Huangfeng Ridge and carefully investigated, and indeed found that the wind direction here was a bit off.
It was not only extremely chaotic, but also contained terrifying laws.
Even Xu Xian could only slightly interfere with the laws within, but could not completely freeze it.
"Truly, the Samadhi Divine Wind."
Xu Xian descended from the clouds and went directly into the Yellow Wind Cave.
The yellow-haired weasel spirit controlled all the winds of Yellow Wind Ridge, and thus immediately sensed Xu Xian's presence.
He arrived at the entrance of the cave and knelt down to greet Xu Xian: "Master, your disciple has mastered the skill."
Xu Xian smiled and patted the mouse's head, saying, "Show me what you've got."
"yes!"
The yellow-haired weasel spirit dared not hold back and directly displayed the Samadhi Divine Wind it had cultivated.
In an instant, all the winds of Huangfeng Ridge converged on the yellow-haired weasel, and the terrifying laws within them were condensed more than tenfold.
Xu Xian carefully observed the laws within and quietly comprehended them.
A moment later, he had memorized the essence of Samadhi Divine Wind.
With a little practice, he too can use the Samadhi Divine Wind.
The only problem is that Lingji Bodhisattva can completely subdue the yellow-haired weasel.
This weakness still needs to be addressed.
"Come, I will teach you another supernatural power."
The yellow-haired weasel's eyes lit up: "Yes!"
Xu Xian stroked the head of the yellow-haired weasel and taught it the [Summoning] technique from the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Techniques.
"If you encounter the Wind-Fixing Pearl or the Flying Dragon Staff in the future, do not hesitate to use your supernatural powers to summon them."
"yes!"
Xu Xian assessed the yellow-haired weasel's cultivation level again, nodded with satisfaction, and continued westward.
When passing by Wuzhuang Temple, Xu Xian chatted with Zhenyuan Daxian for several days.
Zhenyuan Daxian said regretfully, "The ginseng fruit is not yet ripe, otherwise I could use it to entertain my young friend."
Xu Xian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "To be able to discuss the Dao with the Great Immortal Zhenyuan is already an honor for this junior; how could I dare to accept the ginseng fruit?"
After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, we soon arrived at Baihu Ridge.
Lady White Bone and the fox spirit live here.
Neither of these two demons possessed high cultivation levels, but they were quite clever and quick-witted.
A hundred years ago, he even received a Ruyi scepter and a Miaozhen brush from Xu Xian.
Xu Xian believed that this place would definitely leave a deep impression on the pilgrimage team.
He arrived at White Tiger Ridge and stepped directly into the cave.
The cave dwelling is now quite different.
The fox spirit had spent some time with Xu Xian, so she naturally knew his preferences.
Together with Lady White Bone, she decorated the original White Bone Cave to be quite elegant, almost identical to the demon cave where Xu Xian once lived.
On this day, Lady White Bone was asking the fox girl for advice.
Ever since Lady White Bone discovered that the fox spirit and Xu Xian had an unusual relationship, she naturally felt that she was inferior to the fox spirit.
From that time on, she stopped competing with the fox spirit and instead humbly sought her advice in every situation.
Of course, most of the questions asked were just a smokescreen; only the occasional casual conversation revealed Lady White Bone's true thoughts.
Just like today —
"Ruyi Fox Fairy, what kind of female demon does Master like?"
The fox-woman, with her many thoughts, naturally saw through Lady White Bone's little scheme long ago.
She teased, "Master likes monsters with big butts. Yours, all dry and bony, isn't very endearing."
Lady White Bone looked at the fox girl's figure, then at her own condition, and sighed softly.
However, she still did not give up: "I am proficient in transformation, so I can transform into that form."
The fox woman continued to pour cold water on the idea: "Turned into that state? Do you think that with Master's divine eyes, he couldn't see your true form?"
Your true form is still a sly fox, how dare you criticize me?
Lady White Bone muttered something to herself and finally said no more.
Just as the two were about to begin their cultivation, they suddenly saw a figure step into the cave.
Lady White Bone and the fox girl were not highly skilled, but they were quite cautious.
They were able to enter the cave so easily without causing any disturbance.
Aside from beings with extremely high cultivation levels, there is only one other possibility—
The two looked up at the approaching figure, and Yingying knelt down, saying, "Master."
After kneeling and bowing, the fox spirit came to Xu Xian with a smile, naturally took his arm, and rubbed against him affectionately.
Lady White Bone was torn between her inner turmoil as she watched this scene unfold.
She knew this was her only chance, but she was also afraid of angering Xu Xian.
After hesitating for a while, Lady White Bone made up her mind.
Those who cultivate themselves are inherently defying the will of Heaven.
Now that the opportunity to change our fate is right in front of us, how can we let it slip away?
Lady White Bone gritted her teeth, went to Xu Xian's other side, and rubbed against his arm.
E
Xu Xian looked at the two women and was rather speechless.
Since they were all strangers, Xu Xian put his arm around the two women and stepped into the depths of the cave.
Several days later, Xu Xian looked at the White Bone Demon and the Fox Girl in his arms, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I didn't actually come here for this. I'm going to teach you a few supernatural powers."
Lady White Bone and the fox spirit immediately knelt down, quietly waiting for Xu Xian to bestow his magic.
Xu Xian did not hesitate and was about to reach out and touch their foreheads.
But then he suddenly realized that he had other ways to instill supernatural powers in the two women.
Xu Xian chuckled and tossed Lady White Bone and the fox spirit onto the bed.
After a long time, the supernatural powers such as [Mist Formation] and [Array Formation] from the Seven Earthly Fiends and Two Methods entered the bodies of the two women.
Xu Xian stayed there for a few more days before continuing his journey westward.
There weren't any decent monsters in the mountains or small countries that followed.
Xu Xian did have a few backup plans, but since the journey to the West was still three or four hundred years away, he hadn't made any arrangements for them.
He traveled westward and soon arrived at the Kingdom of Women.
Xu Xian looked down at the royal city of the Women's Kingdom from the air, thinking of what the Scorpion Demon looked like, and landed there with a smile.
"My wife—"
Before Xu Xian could finish speaking, a golden hook struck, stopping just short of Xu Xian's brow.
"You bastard, you've been ignoring me for a hundred years! You're courting death!"
Xu Xian quickly shook his head and explained, which finally calmed the scorpion demon down.
