Chapter 399: Chapter 345: Great Three Emperors Sutra, Fengdu Ghost Country
"Imperial Decree has arrived!"
The Spirit Official read out the Jade Emperor’s decree, hoping they would consider the masses of the Three Realms and not disrupt the rules.
The Jade Emperor was also speechless.
He hadn’t paid attention for a moment, and such a major event happened in the mortal world.
If he hadn’t responded promptly, most of this world would have been destroyed long ago.
The Jade Emperor personally intervened to mediate, giving both parties enough face.
Randeng Buddha and Lishan Mother had no desire to continue fighting.
So they took the opportunity to de-escalate.
Lishan Mother retracted the Ten Thousand Golden Spears, saying, "Randeng Buddha of Jin Bifeng, I’ve taken back the Golden Spear, will you not release my disciple?"
The Spirit Official looked towards Jin Bifeng, advising, "Since the Mother has withdrawn, I hope the Buddha would be gracious and not harm the harmony."
"Well, let the envoy know, the Mother wavers in her killing intent easily, unlike a truly attained person. Since she wishes for peace, how could this old monk not release them?"
With that, he gave Song Lin a glance.
Song Lin understood, summoned the gourd, and released Huomu and Wang Shenggu, the master and disciple.
Seeing this, the Immortals and Buddhas across the sky breathed a sigh of relief.
If this Buddha still would not yield, it would truly be a disaster for sentient beings in the Three Realms.
The master and disciple were released, thinking the Mother had won against Jin Bifeng, and immediately beamed with joy.
Wang Shenggu even went up to Song Lin and his companion to taunt them.
"I wondered how powerful you were, but you’re just losers. We lost, but in the end, we’re the winners. Heaven is funny like that, so why don’t you quickly kowtow and apologize!"
Wang Shenggu had been detained for over a year, with bottled-up dissatisfaction and intense hostility, eager to kill on the spot.
With the Mother and master backing her up, she couldn’t help being a bit reckless.
"Beg for mercy?"
Song Lin smiled meaningfully and then stepped forward.
Clenching his right fist, he struck down heavily on Wang Shenggu’s Tianling cover.
Boom!
Wang Shenggu’s form and spirit were both obliterated, unable to believe Song Lin would make a move.
Everyone was shocked, fearing yet another great battle.
The Mother, however, was indifferent.
"I’m only taking my disciple back, regardless of other matters."
With that, she left with Huomu.
Lishan Mother had only two direct disciples, but ordinary disciples like Huomu, whom she had occasionally guided, were many. If it weren’t concerning both the Buddhist and Taoist sects, the Mother might not have bothered at all.
The effort to rescue this disciple deployed so many resources, consuming countless favors; it was benevolent enough. Why expend more effort to save this unexpected grand-disciple?
After the Mother left, other Immortal Gods bid their farewells and departed. Jin Bifeng happily saw them off, and Heavenly Master Zhang also caught up with old friends.
Song Lin, having stood firm against Lishan and even the Ten Thousand Golden Spears, was already considered a war god-level existence by others and naturally befriended many immortals.
After everyone left, Jin Bifeng looked at Song Lin, smiling: "Congratulations, Taoist friend, on your great achievement in the Divine Skill!"
"Just luck, just luck!" Song Lin replied modestly, then thanked the two of them. This time, it was thanks to Heavenly Master Zhang and Jin Bifeng.
If not for their flames, Song Lin would have needed a hundred years to break through.
Soon, everyone embarked on their journey again, beginning to conquer various nations and embarking on the quest to find the utmost treasure, the Imperial Jade Seal.
Inside the treasure ship’s cabin, Song Lin sat quietly with his eyes closed, organizing his gains from this period.
Name: Song Lin
Realm: Transcendance Tribulation Stage (Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Chaoyuan)
Taoist Realm: One thousand and fifty years.
Divine Skills:
Little Three Emperors Scripture, Heavenly Escape Sword Scripture, North Emperor Black Law, Yuan Shi Venerable’s Pill Refinement, Nine-Transformation Golden Pill Secret Technique, Nine-Transformation Copper Skin Iron Bone Immortal Technique (Nine-Transformation Perfection), Five Qi Chaoyuan to Life Spirit Scripture, Supreme Heavenly Shu Spirit Pill Refining Treasure Disc, Three Great Pills, Qimen Spirit Illusion Creation Spirit Official Technique, Five Qi Yellow Court Twenty-four Nerve Secret. North Emperor Xuantian Technique, 72 Transformations...
Endowments: [Emperor Seal] [Moon Cultivation Great Witch] [Temple Blessing] [Golden Crow Yang Pattern] [Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill] [North Pole Ziwei Dao Pattern]...
The greatest gains were certainly the Nine Elders Immortal Capital Seal and the Little Three Emperors Scripture.
The Nine-Transformation Indestructible Body once again entered Nine-Transformation.
This time there was no need to rely on consuming the monkey’s essence, but achieved through personal comprehension and the assistance of the Buddhist and Taoist sects.
The prowess of the Nine-Transformation Perfection needs no further elaboration; possessing an indestructible Vajra body, equivalent to the defense of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of breaking the formidable power of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the whole body as perfect and flawless as a Golden Core, with no defects or weaknesses whatsoever.
Even a Primordial Spirit Heavenly Master would find it difficult to kill me.
Of course, Song Lin did not swell with pride; the Nine-Transformation Indestructible Body feared suppression.
The Tianhe suppressing him would still be effortless, and a Thunder Tribulation Perfection could also suppress him, so it’s best not to become too conceited.
In terms of his own realm, the Five Qi Chaoyuan has reached perfection and has entered the tribulation crossing period.
Reaching the tribulation crossing stage under such perfect cultivation conditions is naturally an excellent situation.
It must be known that the wind tribulation occurs every 365 years, and if the cultivation technique is not completed by then, it would undoubtedly be dangerously easy to be obliterated in both form and spirit.
Song Lin stepped out of the cabin, looking at the vast waves, murmuring to himself: "Still far from enough!"
The tribulation crossing period would not simply end like this, with no further progress, just waiting for the heavenly tribulation to arrive.
Instead, it is about continuously enhancing one’s own Taoist realm, strengthening the ability to resist risks, and then transcending tribulations in advance, rapidly increasing one’s cultivation.
Perhaps the opportunity lies within the Great Three Emperor Sutra.
The Great Three Emperor Sutra records the complete talismanic law lineage, which might be the opportunity for advancement, with the same Sanmao Dharma Lineage, it should be easy to open a new situation.
Time gradually passed, and after overcoming the hurdle of the Lishan Mother, everything went much smoother.
Western Ocean Chronicles, 110th year.
The Great Ming fleet passed the Daughter Country, subdue Wang Lianying, worshipped the Palace Master, found no Imperial Jade Seal, acquired a large number of offering treasures.
Western Ocean Chronicles, 111th year.
The fleet passed Sumatra, recruited the Golden-haired Taoist, crossed the Emerald God Fish; subdued Safa Country, captured King of Ceylon, passed over the Liusan, Da and Xiao Gelan...
All the way, they advanced triumphantly, subduing nations, striking the foreign monks overseas, spreading the prestige of the Great Ming across all directions.
Although they did not obtain the Imperial Jade Seal, everyone remained confident they would eventually find it, just like the oil-boiling prosperity of the Great Ming’s national fortune, rising steadily.
Full of vitality, all things competing to flourish.
The Western Ocean but a tiny worm, hardly worth mentioning, the so-called Emperor Star appearing in the Western Ocean was probably just a rumor.
Only Song Lin knew this journey to the Western Ocean would surely be a regret.
Western Ocean Chronicles, 113th year.
The fleet was about to reach the Golden Eye Country, and the previously absent-minded Song Lin finally took things seriously.
This time the enemies were not simple, the Golden Eye Country had three immortals, Gold Horn, Silver Horn, and Lupi Immortal.
Once this hurdle is crossed, it’s a straight road to the ultimate checkpoint, Fengdu Ghost Country.
The final battle was soon to come.
