Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1103 - 426: Daoist, Have I Made It? (Part 3)
He’s been affected by the magic of the color play, his thoughts flowing in a stream of consciousness, the doubts he’s just thought of can’t even be questioned before he’s interrupted by himself.
"No difference, doesn’t matter."
The Fish Bodhisattva suddenly gained confidence, stroking the blood on the wall, and said: "Alchemist Bai, your Qi Pill is outdated, you might as well go outside and enjoy yourself for a few more years, at least you wouldn’t end up with your head and body in different places..."
His "crying over the grave" move made the Alchemist Bai Lu, melded into the southern wall, lose his confidence.
"Am I dead, or alive?"
Although Alchemist Bai Lu wasn’t caught by the magic of the color play, he was no different from those deceived.
He couldn’t even figure out if he was alive or dead.
If he’s dead, he didn’t feel like he suffered any pain,
but if he’s alive, why is the Fish Bodhisattva crying over the grave?
As he was pondering, Alchemist Bai Lu suddenly realized — it must be Zhou Xuan’s exceptional skills, causing his death to be unexpectedly swift,
"But my soul hasn’t dissipated, I can think, I can contemplate... and my soul hasn’t shown any signs of scattering, I understand."
"It’s my regular practice of Can Tongqi that succeeded."
"Though I’m dead, I’m one with Heaven and Earth, if Heaven and Earth don’t perish, neither do I!"
"Daoist... I’ve made it!"
Alchemist Bai Lu couldn’t contain his joy, and shouted out.
For a moment, the situation was awkward,
Alchemist Bai Lu in the south excitedly shouted, "Daoist I’ve made it", while the Fish Bodhisattva in the north was still diligently crying over the grave.
Zhou Xuan was dumbfounded, cursing in his heart, "You and your damn success... watched this play for so long and still can’t see I’m tricking the Fish Bodhisattva? Dropping the ball at the critical moment?"
The Fish Bodhisattva heard Alchemist Bai Lu’s shout, immediately turned around, and asked Zhou Xuan, "Mystic Master, that Alchemist Bai Lu seems to be still yelling."
"Didn’t he shout already? His Can Tongqi reached success, he is now ageless with Heaven and Earth, don’t think about those nonsense, he is just a remnant soul now, won’t pose any threat to us."
"Pah, just a remnant soul, claiming success, anyone who doesn’t know would think you’ve become some sort of Daluo Golden Immortal."
The Fish Bodhisattva spat on the ground,
but Alchemist Bai Lu seemed to take it as affirmation, and became even more frenzied: "Sure enough, Zhou Xuan and Fish Bodhisattva both say I am a soul, my Can Tongqi succeeded, I am undying and indestructible!
What will, what Heavenly God, screw you, I am the sky, I am the earth,
Unassisted, I will stride atop the mountain peak in snow."
He was flaunting recklessly as if no one was around, making Zhou Xuan’s toes curl enough to dig out a sea view room.
"Alchemist Bai Lu seems like someone who’s taken too many Human Pills, very unstable in spirit."
Zhou Xuan suddenly felt it was hard to bring everything to a close, how would he explain to Alchemist Bai Lu after dealing with the Fish Bodhisattva?
"Just a remnant soul undying in Heaven and Earth, well, you may as well witness me and the Mystic Master becoming the rulers among the boundless Starry Sky."
The Fish Bodhisattva was also speaking crazily, and in that moment, he and Bai Lu transitioned from fierce fighting back then to now "crazy talk showdown".
Zhou Xuan was sporting the expression of "old man, subway, cell phone meme", never imagining that one color play could drive both mad.
"Lao Yu, why argue with someone insane like a remnant soul? Let’s go, to the Mahayana Temple in reality, and establish a formal contract with me."
Zhou Xuan said, then cut off the connection to the "Spirit Realm", returning to reality — within the unbearably hot room of the Mahayana Temple.
...
While Zhou Xuan was in the Spirit Realm, Yun Ziliang and Li Changxun were watching nearby.
Both were quite anxious, especially Yun Ziliang, pacing back and forth in the room.
"Chang Xun, think of some way, Xuanzi said he went to deceive the Tower Spirit, it’s been a while and no sign of activity, hope nothing went wrong."
"Don’t overthink it, Xuanzi is clever and shrewd, what could possibly happen?"
Li Changxun admired Zhou Xuan greatly, he felt relaxed, lying leisurely on the bed, fanning himself.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan’s eyes opened, Li Changxun was the first to see it and quickly sprang up, saying: "Lao Yun, Master woke up."
"Awake?"
Yun Ziliang immediately turned and asked Zhou Xuan with concern: "Xuanzi, what exactly did you do, it’s been one or two hours."
Zhou Xuan immediately reached out to stop Yun and Li’s words, saying: "Don’t speak yet, hear me out first,
I don’t know how to explain, in a moment a madman will appear — you must find ways to strike when the opportunity arises, take him down, even if you can’t, corner him, don’t let him escape, I’ll hurry to bring reinforcements."
This brief speech left Yun Ziliang and Li Changxun bewildered, but they both nodded ambiguously.
Not half a minute later, a monk dressed in a Daoist robe emerged from the void.
"Mr. Yun, Mr. Li, I, Fish Monk, greet you courteously."
Yun Ziliang scrutinized this Fish Monk, puzzled — besides wearing a nonconforming Daoist robe, what’s so mad about him?
"Not mad, oddly polite instead."
Li Changxun whispered to Yun Ziliang.
Though suspecting, neither dared disregard Zhou Xuan’s prearranged instructions.
As per Zhou Xuan, this monk must be killed if possible, otherwise confined.
Thus, their strategy was — attacking only second to containing.
Yun Ziliang walked with a Tiger Step, seeking the monk’s shadow to tread on, sensing the feng shui of the mountain, then using Perception to shift the momentum,
turning the mountain into an invisible prison.
Meanwhile, Li Changxun furtively initiated the Wind Formation.
The Dragon Seeking sect shines in using containment while confronting the enemy.
Zhou Xuan’s Perception was sensitive, he’d already sensed these powerful containing layers in place — the Fish Bodhisattva would find it nearly impossible to return to the "Spirit Realm" to hide.
The Fish Bodhisattva was immersed in his dream, so deceived he showed no vigilance toward surrounding barriers.
He exclaimed with a flushed face to Yun and Li: "We are all Mystic Master’s people now, our goal hereafter is the stars and the sea, to become the sole free will in the Starry Sky."
"Going forward, both of you must learn more skills, our future is vast, requiring great capabilities."
Yun Ziliang was bewildered,
Li Changxun asked: "Gramps, what’s this monk muttering?"
"He’s a madman, you still want to understand him, are you insane too?"
Yun Ziliang scolded Li Changxun, then sternly said: "Chang Xun, join me to initiate the formation, lock up this mad monk."
