Chapter 629: Chapter 57: Lu Xuan of Usurped Destiny, Arrival at Kongtong

Smiles appeared on the faces of the two Supreme Beings. The perfect opportunity was coming.

At the same time, deep within Chaos, Taiyi slowly approached, the Donghuang Bell cradled in his hand, his expression solemn.

He said calmly,

"Where is Amitabha?"

The two Supreme Beings glanced over at Taiyi, their brows furrowing slightly.

After a moment, Bodhi nodded and said,

"He has entered the field early. I cannot disclose the details to you."

Taiyi seemed unconcerned, giving a crisp nod.

"When the Journey to the West restarts, Lu Xuan is mine. If you interfere, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Bodhi frowned and glanced at the Donghuang Bell, but ultimately said nothing. The Demon Ancestor, however, gave a cold snort and said indifferently,

"Just be careful you don’t bite off more than you can chew!"

"Perhaps," Taiyi replied noncommittally, his confidence unshaken.

He stroked the Donghuang Bell—or rather, the Chaos Bell—in his hand, his eyelids lowering slightly as he murmured to himself,

"My life’s grand design centers on Lu Xuan. Once I devour him, I will achieve Perfection... So, rest assured, both of you. This time, success is certain."

"Success... is... certain!" Taiyi repeated, emphasizing each word.

...

「Kongtong Immortal Realm.」 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Li Daxi’s face was grim, the corner of his eye twitching.

"Who, exactly, are you?"

A woman in a Ni Chang robe spoke coldly. At her side, the Sandalwood Ancient Buddha, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, Kuiniu, and the True Phoenix had formed a battle array, their gazes menacing.

Off to the side, Cao Ruoyan and the others trembled, completely baffled. Several legendary grand-seniors from the Holy Land had appeared out of nowhere and just as suddenly made their move...

Cao Ruoyan swallowed hard, her heart pounding in terror.

"Sister Xiaoxi, what in the world is going on?"

Chen Xiaoxi shook her head, trembling.

"Hush! Just watch and wait. It looks like there’s something seriously wrong with Brother Li, and the seniors from the Holy Land found out..."

While the terrified youths whispered amongst themselves, Li Daxi pressed a hand to his forehead in resignation. ’Just what is the deal with this identity?’

’It would have been better not to have taken this body at all...’

’Still, it’s not a huge problem. At least... I’ve met the one I was looking for.’

Li Daxi raised his head, gazing at Yan Jiangxue in the sky, who was dressed in her Ni Chang robe, and offered a faint smile.

"I am but a humble Daoist from the mountains, wishing only to study under Master Yan. I do not understand why you are all treating me this way."

"A humble Daoist from the mountains..."

The Giant Bull carrying the Flame Mountain on his back sneered,

"Could a mere Daoist from the mountains face us so calmly? Who exactly are you, and when did you infiltrate the Kongtong Immortal Realm?"

Yan Jiangxue seemed to have lost her patience and said coldly,

"If you are unwilling to speak, so be it. Seize him and hand him over to my mother. She’ll find out everything."

At these words, the expressions of both Li Daxi and the nearby Chen Xiaoxi shifted slightly.

The former lowered his eyelids, murmuring to himself,

’Is that how it is...?’

Up in the sky, Yan Jiangxue was suddenly dazed. Her vision blurred, and everything seemed to become unreal. She felt as if she were being... stripped away from her own fate.

"Cough, cough."

The sound suddenly echoed from within Guangcheng Palace. Yan Jiangxue was jolted back to her senses, while Li Daxi’s expression changed drastically as he shot a horrified glance to the side.

Inside Guangcheng Palace, the Qing Xuan Daoist was standing, looking exhausted.

"Fu Xi, you’ve overstepped."

Fu... Fu Xi?!

Yan Jiangxue was stunned, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha looked bewildered, and the expressions of the True Phoenix, Kuiniu, and the Ox Demon King all shifted.

As for Li Daxi, he was utterly horrified. He stumbled back three steps, staring fixedly at the Qing Xuan Daoist, who was shrouded in a chaotic mist. He demanded sharply,

"Who are you?"

The Qing Xuan Daoist leaned on a staff, seeming utterly exhausted. He spoke with extreme difficulty:

"Fu Xi, you are audacious... Hmph. Never mind. Someone is coming to deal with you. All the better. It saves me the trouble of acting myself."

With that, the Qing Xuan Daoist shuffled back into Guangcheng Palace. His figure was hunched, as if he were bearing a grievous wound, and he coughed every few steps.

And just then, the Celestial Vault trembled. To the horror of all who watched, a Supreme Being approached, heralded by hymns!

"FU! XI!!" the Supreme Being roared in fury.
