Chapter 30 Severe Injury
Although the East China Sea is close to the Three Immortal Islands, it is not a place that can be reached in an instant.
Just as the benevolent corpse burst out of the Crystal Palace, a golden light shot out from the void, directly enveloping the benevolent corpse's escape light.
When the benevolent corpse was illuminated by that golden light, its escape light suddenly froze, and it could not move.
The twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls around his body spun wildly, and five-colored rays of light suddenly burst forth, colliding violently with the golden light. As the two forces collided, a giant wave hundreds of feet high was blown out of the East China Sea, and countless fish and shrimp were shaken to the surface with their white bellies turned up.
The aquatic creatures inside the Crystal Palace were so frightened that Ao Guang and the others dared not show their faces.
The golden light was forcibly torn open by the light of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and the benevolent corpse seized the opportunity to leap forward. At that moment, two figures slowly stepped out from the void.
On the left is a man in a moon-white monk's robe, with a large belly, a wise face, and an unchanging smile on his lips, as if he has everything in the world under his control. This is Maitreya.
On the right is a man in a gilded kasaya, with a compassionate and solemn face. He holds a medicine bowl in his left hand and forms the abhaya mudra with his right hand. His body is surrounded by a golden light that is as deep as an abyss. This is the Medicine Master.
The benevolent corpse's pupils constricted sharply; Maitreya hadn't left after all!?
Not only did he not leave, but he also brought Yaoshi, the chief disciple of the Western Sect, a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, who was only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Saint.
Inside the General's Mansion, Yun Zhongzi saw the two figures clearly through the eyes of the benevolent corpse.
A long-lost chill spread throughout his body, making his scalp tingle; he hadn't felt this way for a long time since he attained the Golden Immortal status.
"Ever since the time of Xuanyuan Tomb, I have suspected that someone was interfering."
The pharmacist spoke, his voice calm, devoid of anger or murderous intent, and even carrying a barely perceptible hint of appreciation.
"On that day, I was outside Xuanyuan Tomb and I noticed someone spying on me using Xuanmen techniques. If I hadn't been a cultivator of the Primordial Spirit and used my divine sense at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to repeatedly investigate, I would not have been able to find that clone."
His gaze fell on the benevolent corpse, his tone calm and even.
"Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi, you are indeed skilled. I imagine that the repeated actions in Beihai, and the use of a wooden sword to guard the palace in Chaoge, must be the work of the aloof and virtuous Golden Immortal."
Yun Zhongzi sat cross-legged on the stone couch. Despite his Golden Immortal form, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. This was the first time since his transmigration that his scheme had been exposed.
The bean soldiers of Xuanyuan Tomb, the magical writing left by the North Sea, the sword offered by Guangchengzi of Chaoge, and the countless demons slain outside Chentang Pass—the pharmacist pieced these fragments together one by one, and now, seeing him, he was certain that it was his doing.
But Yun Zhongzi was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. Without answering, the benevolent corpse stirred its mind, and twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls suddenly flew out, their five-colored rays shining brightly. Each Sea-Stabilizing Pearl carried immense power. When all twenty-four pearls were released at once, even an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.
The pearl pierced through the air, and wherever it passed, the space itself was slightly distorted by the heavy suppressive force.
The pharmacist's eyes lit up, and a hint of admiration appeared on his usually calm face.
He wasn't praising the power of the attack, but rather the quality of the twenty-four beads. With his keen eye, he could immediately tell that these were no ordinary magical treasures.
"My darling."
The Medicine Master raised his hand and took the Seven Treasures Tree from Maitreya's hand. The tree was entirely made of crystal, and seven different colored pearls hung from its seven branches: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Each pearl emitted a completely different Buddhist light.
It is the Seven Treasures Tree, the most precious treasure for Zhunti Daoist's enlightenment.
With a gentle swipe, a seven-colored radiance emanated from the tree trunk, and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls simultaneously froze in mid-air.
The pearls were still humming, and the five-colored light was still flowing, but no matter how the benevolent corpse urged them, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were frozen and could not move forward even an inch.
With a wave of his hand, the pharmacist caused the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to vanish from their original spot.
The moment the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was unleashed, the benevolent corpse had already turned and fled a hundred miles away. He knew that he could no longer care about the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in front of these two.
The white-clad figure flashed like lightning, leaving only a fleeting afterimage on the sponge.
He doesn't need to run past the pharmacist; he only needs to run across the East China Sea, even if it's just close to the Three Immortal Islands.
"Why are you running, junior brother?"
The pharmacist's voice came from behind, gentle and calm, as if whispering in my ear, and the Seven Treasures Tree appeared again.
Good Corpse felt the space around him distort, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. When he regained his balance, he was standing in front of Medicine Master and Maitreya again.
"Why don't you come with me to the Western Paradise? My teacher cherishes junior brother very much."
Yun Zhongzi sighed. If he could, he really would like to go to the Western Religion.
But now that I am bound by restrictions, I cannot even go to the Human Sect or the Intercepting Sect, so how can I go to the Western Sect?
The benevolent corpse did not answer, and its spiritual power suddenly surged.
The Medicine Master and Maitreya both took a step back. The Medicine Master held the Seven Treasures Tree tightly in his hand, and the two of them stared warily at the Good Corpse.
Suddenly, countless water swords shot out from around Yun Zhongzi, shooting out in all directions.
Each water sword was as thick as a tree trunk, yet they were as dense as a torrential rain, covering the sea surface for miles around. The water swords struck the sea, creating countless water columns, the booming sound deafening.
The commotion was so great that it alarmed all the cultivators within a radius of a thousand miles.
The pharmacist narrowed his eyes, realizing that the benevolent corpse was creating a commotion to await rescue.
"Stubborn and obstinate."
The pharmacist snorted coldly, and the medicine bowl flew out of his hand.
The medicine bowl swelled in the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into a huge bowl over ten feet in diameter. With its mouth facing downwards, a powerful suction force enveloped the benevolent corpse.
The medicine bowl was turned upside down, and the white light surrounding the benevolent corpse was compressed to three feet in front of it, making it extremely precarious.
He turned his head and looked towards the direction of the Three Immortal Islands. Where the sea and sky met, he could vaguely see a fiery red figure rushing towards them.
A crimson dress, twin buns, and surging crimson clouds surrounding her. Yunxiao sensed the battle raging here, and that familiar aura.
The benevolent corpse smiled slightly, but unfortunately, it was still a step too late.
"Pop".
With a crisp sound, the body of the benevolent corpse suddenly disintegrated under the medicine bowl, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
The pharmacist put away the bowl and remained silent.
General's Residence.
Yun Zhongzi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body slowly collapsed, and his full head of black hair turned white in the blink of an eye.
Within the Niwan Palace, the primordial spirit trembled like a sieve. The benevolent corpse was originally one with him. The destruction of the benevolent corpse was like having half of his life forcibly torn away. Cracks in the Niwan Palace spread out bit by bit.
The mouthful of blood sprayed onto the old tree in the courtyard, and a new green sprouted from the roots of the tree.
The insects and ants in the soil were soaked in blood droplets, and these ordinary insects, which originally had a lifespan of only a few months, actually generated faint spiritual energy fluctuations within their bodies.
Taiyi Zhenren and Nezha were attracted by the commotion caused by the benevolent corpse in the East Sea and decided to go and investigate. Suddenly, they heard something amiss in Yun Zhongzi's courtyard and rushed inside.
"Junior brother!"
"Master!"
Taiyi Zhenren helped Yun Zhongzi up, and his spiritual power entered Yun Zhongzi's body, instantly draining the color from his round face.
His primordial spirit was severely damaged, and his Niwan Palace was riddled with cracks. If it weren't for Yun Zhongzi's profound foundation, he would have already lost all his magical power and cultivation.
Even so, if not treated in time, the best outcome would be the complete dissipation of one's cultivation, with tens of thousands of years of arduous practice destroyed in an instant, or even the annihilation of one's body and the demise of one's cultivation.
Nezha knelt before the bed, his face pale, clutching Yun Zhongzi's cold hand, calling out "Master" over and over again.
Yun Zhongzi's eyes were tightly closed, his face as white as paper. After spitting out that mouthful of blood, he remained motionless.
