Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 769 - 690: Give up the Treasures on One’s Body to Escape the True and False Realm!

Qing Peak Mountain.

Ao Le looked up eagerly.

Boom!

She saw the Emperor Jiang Demon God approaching in the distance, shattering the void and creating an earth-shaking commotion. Recognizing it as Lu Qingfeng, she hurriedly called out, "Husband."

She saw that Lu Qingfeng had left in a hurry and didn't know why.

Thus, she worried.

"This place is not safe to stay for long."

"Quickly, let's go!"

Lu Qingfeng rushed back, just a few beats of his wings and he was at Qing Peak Mountain.

Transforming into human form.

Without time for explanations, he quickly rolled up Ao Le.

Whoosh!

From all directions, a seven-colored light arrived—it was seven rosy-cheeked, tender toddlers.

Since his arrival in the ancient Earth Immortal World, he had brought along his Ba Gourd avatars and sent them off to seek places for cultivation. In the blink of an eye, six to seven hundred years had passed. With their excellent talents, they have all achieved the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal.

They had made significant progress.

Lu Qingfeng planned his escape and naturally, he couldn't leave his Ba Gourd avatars behind.

"Let's go!"

In an instant, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed all seven toddlers.

After these tasks,

Divine Skills surged, with a faint glow shimmering, ready to make a swift exit.

But then he heard—

"Amitabha Buddha!"

A Buddhist chant surrounded by Heavenly Dragons emerged from the billions of auspicious lights in the Western Paradise, revealing on a Nine Grade Lotus Platform, atop which sat a monk.

The monk, dressed in a yellow kasaya and straw sandals, was very plump. With a prominent belly, he was a match for the Purification Envoy, baring his chest and belly, with earlobes touching his shoulders, face round, and eyes gleaming with waves of light, all filled with laughter.

Seeing this monk, even Ao Le, who sensed trouble, couldn't help but be influenced and chuckled.

Her smile was beautiful.

Lu Qingfeng, however, had no time to appreciate it.

"The East Buddha Ancestor!"

He recognized the individual at a glance—it was the Namo Maitreya Venerable King Buddha of the Western Teaching. Lu Qingfeng's heart sank even more, and without daring to delay, he embraced Ao Le and with a thought, tried to return to the Immortal Qin Realm.

"Why such a hurry, benefactor?"

Maitreya Buddha's smile was radiant. Seeing Lu Qingfeng about to leave, he scooped up a grain of sand from the ground and flicked it with his finger.

The inner and outer spirit light was everywhere, a Buddha Country within a single grain!

Whoosh!

At that moment, that single grain of sand transformed into a hundred-mile wide Buddha Country, intending to envelop Lu Qingfeng.

"In the palm Buddha Country!"

Lu Qingfeng saw the changes behind him; the sand had transformed into a world with a Bodhi Tree Forest, the Treasure Temple Golden Hall, and numerous Arhat Monks chanting scriptures within. With several dragon roars, Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons circled above the chanting monks, guarding them as if they were in Spiritual Mountain.

He tried to escape this Time-Space Fragment, but the four directions of space-time were suppressed by Maitreya Buddha's Buddha Country. With his Dao ability, he was temporarily unable to tear through it.

"What a move by the East Buddha Ancestor!"

Holding Ao Le, Lu Qingfeng produced a Seven Colors Divine Light from his hand, forming into a cudgel resembling a Bodhi tree branch. This cudgel was three feet and seven inches long, with seven sections, each of a different color.

In an instant, ten thousand auspicious qi soared into the sky, and sounds of clear chanting emerged from somewhere other than the Buddha Country, as if bursting directly from the void.

"The Seven Treasures Miao Tree!"

Holding the Bodhi Treasure, Lu Qingfeng fiercely brushed it towards the Sand Buddha Country.

Boom!

Unleashing tremendous power, the Seven Colors Divine Light blasted forth, instantly shattering the Buddha Country and creating an opening for escape.

"Benefactor takes with him my Buddhist Sect's Supreme Treasure. Where do you intend to go?"

Once the Buddha Country was broken, Maitreya Buddha was neither annoyed nor angry, still smiling broadly. Huang Mei's disciple got the hint and immediately picked up a pair of Golden Cymbals, hurling them straight at Lu Qingfeng.

"Golden Cymbals!"

Seeing the golden light, Lu Qingfeng was terrified out of his wits.

The item was formidable.

It had shown its divinity during the Western Tour; even his elder brother, the Gale Demon God, held it in high regard, once saying not even the Sanmei Divine Wind could compete with these small Golden Cymbals.

Lu Qingfeng dared not take it lightly.

Bolstering his power with the Twelve Venerable Dutian Demon Gods inside him, his body grew to a height of three hundred zhang, and the Seven Treasures Miao Tree grew with it. The tree branch turned into a great tree, which he wielded to brush against the Golden Cymbals.

Clang!

A loud clink sounded.

The Golden Cymbals flew back, while Lu Qingfeng staggered a few steps from the shock, his palms tingling and barely able to keep hold of the Seven Treasures Miao Tree.

After all, it was his first time wielding the Supreme Treasure.

With rushed refining, the power he was able to command was limited. He barely managed to fend off the Golden Cymbals with his brute strength, but he couldn't brush them aside.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't greedy.

"Let's go!"

He deflected the Golden Cymbals and turned to flee.

The East Buddha Ancestor, however, would not let him off easily, calling out, "Disciple."

"Yes, Buddha."

Huang Mei's disciple answered respectfully, untying an old white cloth pack from his waist and tossing it into the air. With a smooth sound, it spread open in the sky, a gale following to scoop Lu Qingfeng right up.

"Human Species Bag!"

Lu Qingfeng recognized the treasure.

He was utterly petrified.

If he were captured by the bag, it would be difficult to get out again.

Without daring to covet any more treasures, he hastily threw the Seven Treasures Miao Tree towards the sky, turning it into a Bodhi Tree that stabilized the void, barely blocking the Human Species Bag. Yet the tree swayed, clearly not able to withstand much longer.

Beyond the azure sky,

sword and golden lights came killing.

"Enough, enough, enough!"

"To give up is to gain!"

Fully aware of the danger, Lu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and tossed out the Yellow Banner, enveloping himself from above and all sides, then pulled out the God Beating Whip and tore through the void, throwing it in straight away.

Having done all this,

he quietly activated his Divine Skills with the protection of the Seven Treasures Tree and the defense of the Yellow Banner. Within just a few short breaths, a faint glow flickered, and both Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le vanished in an instant.

Disappearing from this time-space continuum.

After they left,

the Seven Treasures Tree, no longer controlled, could not withstand and was taken by the Human Species Bag. The Yellow Banner was swept up by the sword light from beyond the sky and taken back, while streams of golden light entered the void, following the currents and gathering the God Beating Whip that floated within, returning it to the Earth Immortal World.

But when someone searched the four corners, Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le were nowhere to be found.

...

"That was close!"

In the Immortal Qin Realm, amidst the stars, two figures emerged. Lu Qingfeng, looking terrified, surveyed the surroundings and saw no one in pursuit, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

In the end, he had been too greedy.

Without the formation of the Twelve Venerable Dutian Netherworld King Flags to conceal Heaven's Secrets, Lu Qingfeng was detected the moment he tried to collect the treasures.

The East Buddha Ancestor Maitreya Buddha arrived first, most likely not just for the Seven Treasures Tree. The sword and golden lights that followed clearly came from the direction of Kunlun Mountain—undoubtedly, Golden Immortals from Yuxu Palace. The Yellow Banner and the God Beating Whip rightfully belonged to Yuxu Palace.

Lu Qingfeng learned his lesson.

All he wanted was to escape.

He decisively abandoned the Seven Treasures Tree, the Yellow Banner, and the God Beating Whip, buying just mere moments to barely escape back to the original time-space.

It took him using the corpse of a Three-tailed Black Fish and ten years of Great Divine Power calculations to find this Time-Space True-False Realm within the vast time-space.

True and false.

Hard to discern.

It wouldn't be easy for the Maitreya Buddha and the Chan Sect Golden Immortals on the other side to trace and track their way here.

Unless they asked a Saint to intervene.

"I'm just a minor Heavenly Immortal, below the notice of a Saint."

Lu Qingfeng knew his place.

He didn't dwell on it.

Beside him, Ao Le was still in shock but then laughed, saying, "What luck, Le'er, we've struck it rich this time!"

Ao Le, recovering from the fright, heard this.

Her eyes lit up with interest.

Lu Qingfeng laughed heartily, full of spirit, then waved his big sleeve—

A bamboo cane.

A gourd.

Feathers.

A copper bell.

Out of seven supreme treasures, only four were brought out, each a first-class treasure in its own right. Even the weakest bamboo cane held considerable mystery.

"Let's see, in the shifting reality of time-space, the true and the illusory, how these treasures differ!"

Lu Qingfeng's eyes shone with spirit light as he examined the bamboo cane first.

[Spiritual Treasure: Heavenly Centipede Bamboo Stick]

[Grade: Low Grade]

[Explanation: Refined by Emperor Zhou Green of Hook Chen, the original form was the green bamboo from Zhou Xianshan in the Earth Immortal World. It absorbed the Golden Body Primordial Spirit of Kong Xuan, twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes, and the black reliquary formed from his own accumulated Karma. The twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes with the Pangu bloodline and Kong Xuan's Golden Body Primordial Spirit were refined into this artifact with powerful mana, skilled in the Xuan Technique's transformations, with claws sharp as blades and breath spewing black fog. This black fog, which is Karma itself, ensnares the Primordial Spirit in the cycle of reincarnation, and even the body of a Golden Immortal cannot withstand it.]

"A Low Grade Spiritual Treasure!"

Lu Qingfeng could see it clearly. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This treasure, not fully refined and lacking the prowess of the Heavenly Dao Sect Master's later divine treasures, had mostly been completed—just missing the Great Sun True Fire and the You Yuan Luo Naihe Gui, an Innate Magical Artifact. Initially, when he acquired it, it was a top-grade treasure; now, brought back to the original time-space, it had fallen to a low-grade treasure.

"This is to be expected."

Time-space is mysterious.

What's true as false and false as true; taken from there as real, it seems fake, and brought out by Lu Qingfeng it turns real again. Amidst these true and false transformations, its power has significantly diminished.

Even so,

a single Low Grade Spiritual Treasure could still bring Lu Qingfeng great joy.

"A Low Grade Spiritual Treasure?"

Ao Le's eyes also dazzled with spirit light as she looked at the Heavenly Centipede Bamboo Stick.

Her Divine Skills and Dao ability were limited, unable to discern the full essence of the Spiritual Treasure, but she could see the treasure light flickering and teeming with spirit light, clearly a significant treasure.

"Congratulations, my husband."

Joy instantly spread across her face.

"Heh heh!"

Lu Qingfeng chuckled continuously, grasping the Heavenly Centipede Bamboo Stick, and thought to himself, "It seems that the Heavenly Dao Sect Master of that time-space had not achieved Dao before dying, but before his death, it's unknown whether he defeated Kong Xuan or simply took advantage, refining this Peacock Bright King's Golden Body Primordial Spirit, seizing its Five-Colored Divine Light, and yet it's uncertain if Kong Xuan preserved a consciousness, as usual, retreating to the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven to survive."

If even the consciousness was dissipated,

there would be no hope of rising again in the future.

Lu Qingfeng was also curious, "If even Kong Xuan has been killed, how did this Heavenly Dao Sect Master die?"

After some thought,

he suddenly laughed.

It was merely a fragment of time-space, indistinguishable between true and false, and he was already out; it was absurd to ponder these questions further.

He then collected himself

and turned his attention to the other three treasures.

[Spiritual Treasure: Five-Colored Divine Light]

[Grade: Top-grade]

[Explanation: The Five-Colored Divine Light originates from a single point of Innate Chaos Qi, and when the Five Elements were forming, it nurtured Kong Xuan within it, growing into five tail feathers. Kong Xuan spent countless efforts to refine it, shedding his original form and acquiring a human body. The small five feathers were as heavy as ancient mountains, too heavy for anyone but one with Great Method power to flicker. The Five-Colored Divine Light is divided according to the Five Elements, capturing everything in a twist. It is both a Spiritual Treasure and a Divine Skill.]
