Chapter 843: Chapter 843

Atop the main peak of Kunlun Mountain lies a clear lake, where green lotuses grow, known as Jingzi Lake. Its origins are untraceable, but it serves as a place for Kunlun disciples to cultivate, with the surrounding environment seemingly blessed by Heaven and Earth, offering tranquility and nurturing one’s nature.

Before dawn, all Kunlun disciples must gather before Jingzi Lake and loudly recite Scriptures. It is said this rule was passed down by the Kunlun Sect Leader and must not be defied by anyone.

"How short is human life, easily born and easily perished, like a spark of flint, unable to last long, like a floating bubble, how can it be firm. Birth, aging, sickness, and death continuously attack day and night, impermanence and decay scatter and break in an instant. It’s best to forget what your eyes see, so the light overflows boundlessly. Forget what your ears hear, so the mind remains deep and still. When these desires are forgotten, one becomes complete and whole, aligning with great simplicity, and immersed in vastness, blending with the unmatched. My foundation is shared eternally with Heaven and Earth..."

The clear and loud chanting echoed through the cool mountains, and the eastern purple qi followed the sound, converging toward Kunlun Mountain, forming a purple band of light, encircling the Kun Mountain Temple, truly a blessed land of immortals.

"Chiiiirp~" A sharp cicada call suddenly echoed, interrupting the chanting.

All the disciples in front of Jingzi Lake stood up suddenly, frowning, focusing, and looking around.

The leading elder shouted loudly, "What demon dares to show itself here!" forming a magic spell with his hand.

A Buddha Wheel appeared in the air, and then the figure of Jin Chanzi appeared, hands joined in prayer, coldly gazing at Kunlun Mountain.

"What does a Buddhist disciple want at our Kunlun?"

"We, Kunlun, are not Shu Mountain; we don’t accept any monks or nuns."

The Kunlun disciples whispered amongst themselves, knowing that Kunlun, as the Profound Sect, had no fear of Buddhism.

Jin Chanzi coldly shouted, "Jiang Ziya, come out!"

"Have you no respect!" the elderly elder yelled angrily. "Who are you in Buddhism, daring to call our Kunlun Sect Leader by name?"

Jin Chanzi ignored the voices below, eyes fixed on the Kunlun main hall, coldly shouting, "Jiang Ziya, I know you’re in there, come out now. You have the nerve to scheme against me, then have the nerve to show yourself! Jiang Ziya, get out here~"

The elder shouted in fury, "Form the array!" Recognizing the extraordinary nature of Jin Chanzi, he had no intention of dueling one-on-one, instead opting to overpower Jin Chanzi immediately.

The Kunlun disciples shouted in unison, ascending into the sky, shifting positions in mid-air, an Eight Trigrams Array unfolding in the sky, descending upon Jin Chanzi with mysterious runes on the array map.

With a casual wave, Jin Chanzi disrupted the time and space with Daluo’s power, breaking the array patterns—boom! The Eight Trigrams Array shattered, the immense backlash from Heaven and Earth swept across, many Kunlun disciples screamed as they fell below, crashing into the mountains.

"Jiang Ziya, if you don’t come out, I’ll begin a massacre, and destroy your Kunlun’s Daoist lineage," Jin Chanzi coldly threatened.

"Alas~" A long sigh resonated in the sky.

The grand hall’s door slowly opened, and an old Taoist with white hair and a white robe emerged, ethereally like an immortal.

Jin Chanzi shouted angrily, "Jiang Ziya!"

Jiang Ziya replied begrudgingly, "Fellow Daoist Tang Sanzang, although what I did in the past may have been excessive, causing harm to your young and fragile heart, those are things of the past. You have become a Buddha, and should embrace the future with a heart of forgiveness.

Look at me, I too had many grievances, but doesn’t everyone have to let go at some point? Fellow Daoist, you should be more open-minded."

Harm, grievances? So it was indeed him scheming against me? Jin Chanzi coldly stated, "Let go? Give me back my Dao Fruit."

Jiang Ziya looked confused, "Dao Fruit? What do you mean? When did I take your Dao Fruit?"

"Stop lying, prepare to die!" Jin Chanzi’s kasaya shook, and a sharp cicada call rang out once more.

Jiang Ziya felt a wave of terror surge in his heart, his expression changed drastically, quickly dodging to the side as the Kunlun Palace twisted under the soundwave, exploding with a boom.

Jiang Ziya was swept and tumbled by the shockwave, flipping over several times, and was flung out of Kunlun Mountain.

He barely steadied himself when a flash of golden light passed before him.

"Ah~" Jiang Ziya screamed miserably, flying backward, bleeding into the sky as two cicada wings swept through the air.

Thud~ Jiang Ziya crashed into the mountainside, blood-soaked, lying in a crater as he coughed repeatedly, half-dead.

Faced with a Daluo Golden Immortal who could manipulate time and space, those below Daluo were powerless, unable to withstand even a single move.

Jin Chanzi stood still in the sky, robe billowing, coldly stating, "Jiang Ziya, I’ll give you one more chance; return my Dao Fruit."

Supporting his body, Jiang Ziya struggled to sit up, shouting angrily, "Tang Sanzang, have you lost your mind? Your Dao Fruit was given to your daughter, how does that involve me?"

"Still lying? Where would I have gotten a daughter?" Jin Chanzi coldly retorted, his murderous intent nearly uncontrollable, boiling over, eyes turning red as if a demon were about to appear.

Jiang Ziya observed Jin Chanzi, coughed twice, laughed loudly, and said, "You are not... You are not Tang Sanzang.

Poor Tang Sanzang, who endured countless hardships seeking the True Scripture, in the end, losing even himself, now unable to even protect... his own daughter, truly pitiful and lamentable!"

Jin Chanzi’s expression shifted drastically—Tang Sanzang had a daughter? My Dao Fruit is with his daughter?! His murderous intent was instantly overshadowed by shock.

Jin Chanzi flickered and appeared instantly before Jiang Ziya, hands joined in prayer, and asked coldly, "Where is Tang Sanzang’s daughter?"

"In Daughter Country, but do you dare go?" Jiang Ziya looked at Jin Chanzi without backing down.

Jin Chanzi’s figure immediately soared into the sky.

Below, an elderly Taoist quickly approached, helping Jiang Ziya up, angrily stating, "Sect Leader, Buddhism is simply going too far."

Jiang Ziya held his bloodied chest, coughed twice, and said deeply, "With Buddhism thriving now, they naturally are arrogant."

"Sect Leader, why not use our sect’s treasure to suppress him?"

"Our sect treasure doesn’t have much lethal power. I have my plans—Tang Sanzang... no, now it’s Jin Chanzi, this isn’t over between us, this is just the beginning."

Jiang Ziya took out an Immortal Pill, swallowed it, and his injuries visibly healed quickly.

"Elder Hu, go take care of the Kunlun disciples; I’ll be going out for a while."

"Yes!" Elder Hu respectfully responded, flying off into the distance.

Jiang Ziya took out his Three Realms Mall, found Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy in his friend’s list, and sent a message: "Marshal, the Buddhist Jin Chanzi is heading for Daughter Country, claiming he will refine Tang Sanzang’s daughter to retrieve the Dao Fruit."

Ding~ The message was instantly replied to.

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy: (艹皿艹)!! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelꞁire.net

With clouds rising underfoot, Jiang Ziya also flew towards the east, thinking: A Daoist’s revenge endures from morning till night.
