I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 101: Joyful Venerable

The fat monk's move was a burst of golden-red fragrance, appearing extremely viscous, as if it were melted pink liquid.

Xia Yi could clearly see that this was a Divine Ability possessed only by those who had cultivated the Joyful Zen to a deep level. Its power was boundless and carried the Buddhist Gate's Evil-Breaking Golden Light Sandalwood.

When facing an enemy, emitting Zen light could envelop the enemy's flying sword Law Treasure, regardless of how powerful their Divine Ability was, they would still be captured obediently.

The Joyful Zen light had ten layers in total. With each layer refined, the Zen light would become more condensed. When cultivated to the tenth layer, it would become the Annihilation Zen Path, reaching the highest Buddha light in the Western Paradise, the Annihilation Zen light!

Similar to the Pure Immortal Light, Jade Immortal Light, and Supreme Pure Immortal Light, the Joyful Zen light was one of the top Divine Abilities in the Three Realms.

The King Zhou and the Nine-Tailed Fox had only managed to cultivate the first layer with great effort.

"So this is the Joyful Venerable from the Western Paradise? He is so audacious, daring to take advantage of the Jade Emperor's daughter? It seems that he has committed too many sins in his daily life, and his karmic obstacles have clouded his mind!"

Xia Yi shook his head and summoned the Qingping Sword. With a swing of his sword, billions of clear-colored starlights scattered, the sword's momentum was extremely fierce, covering the sky and earth, like a tsunami and a collapsing mountain.

"Who is this hairy immortal who dares to ruin Lord Buddha's good deed?"

The fat monk was furious and quickly summoned a golden lamp, radiating countless rays of light, trying to block the sword energy that filled the sky.

However, the Qingping Sword was the proof of the Heavenly Dao of the Tongtian Sect, and its power was not weaker than the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

The golden lamp was directly shattered, and the sword energy's momentum remained undiminished as it slashed straight through.

The fat monk didn't expect the sword energy to be so fierce, and couldn't help but feel a bit fearful. He quickly unleashed a Joyful Zen light and bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of blood onto it.

Instantly, the pink Zen light flourished.

The sword energy struck it, becoming extremely sticky, as if it were stuck.

On the other side, Princess Longji finally broke free and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this Joyful Venerable only had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal peak, his Joyful Zen light was extremely effective against female immortals.

It could even capture someone from a distance.

Therefore, although Princess Longji had the cultivation of an early Taiyi Golden Immortal, she couldn't fully display her strength, resulting in a stalemate.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance!"

Princess Longji felt grateful.

Without the restraint of the Joyful Zen light, she could finally unleash her full strength.

Immediately, a four to five-inch-long jade needle emitted a brilliant light, quickly dividing into billions of needles of the same size. Each jade needle had countless tiny invisible symbols.

It was the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Qiankun Needle.

With the joint attack of the Joyful Venerable, he was momentarily caught off guard.

Xia Yi once again summoned the Qingping Sword. The thick sword energy soared into the sky, dazzling like the Milky Way, slashing towards the Joyful Venerable.

The Joyful Venerable was shocked. He was already struggling to deal with billions of Qiankun Needles, let alone have the energy to deal with the Qingping Sword.

In a panic, he suddenly roared and revealed a golden body, radiating brilliant golden light. It had six heads and eighteen arms, holding a whip, a mirror, a treasure pestle, a file, a golden bell, a canopy, a treasure banner, a lotus flower, a command token, a begging bowl, a relic, and sutras, and other Buddhist Gate sacred objects.

But it was still useless.

The Qingping Sword's sword energy, which was extremely sharp, directly cut the golden body statue of the Joyful Venerable in half. The cut surface was smooth and even, without a drop of blood flowing out, as if it were all cast from pure gold.

A fist-sized pure white relic flew out from the golden body, and without caring for its life, it flew towards the Western Paradise.

Princess Longji sneered. How could she let this lecherous monk go back? She immediately summoned the Misty and Boundless Net, trapping him inside.

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

After dealing with the Joyful Venerable, Princess Longji immediately invited Xia Yi to the Qingluan Golden Palace.

Fenghuang Mountain was not an ordinary immortal mountain. It was formed by the fall of an ancient Great Principal Golden Immortal-level Wind Phoenix, with traces of Heavenly Phoenix Qi mixed in its spiritual energy.

In the Earth Immortal realm, it was considered a top-tier Grotto-Heaven blessed land. Otherwise, it wouldn't serve as the residence of the Jade Emperor and the Golden Mother of the Yaochi in the mortal realm.

Soon, fairies presented peaches and precious liquids.

Xia Yi secretly marveled at the treatment. This was not a demotion at all, but clearly a vacation!

"If it weren't for Brother Dao's great help, Longji would have almost been in danger!"

Princess Longji personally poured wine.

"How dare I trouble the esteemed princess?" Xia Yi hurriedly stood up.

"Brother Dao wields the Qingping Sword of the Heavenly Master. Could it be that you are a direct disciple of the Saint?" Princess Longji was somewhat surprised. When did that Upper Clear Saint start accepting disciples again?

"There are countless immortals from the Jiao Sect serving as officials within the Da Shang Empire. As the national teacher of Da Shang, I have received the favor of the Saint and been bestowed with the Qingping Sword to command all immortals and overcome this calamity." Xia Yi smiled.

"I see!" Although Princess Longji had some doubts, she didn't inquire further.

"Without leaving the Heavenly Court, calamities won't arise. However, because the princess lost her manners at the Peach Banquet back then and was banished to the mortal realm, she cannot avoid being involved in this calamity. The arrival of the Joyful Venerable is also a result of the princess's karma and the workings of calamity." Xia Yi spoke up.

"What teachings do you have for me, National Teacher?" Princess Longji asked hastily.

She also knew that without the support of Heavenly Court's luck, she would inevitably be affected by calamities. It was impossible for her to find peace on Phoenix Mountain.

Xia Yi sighed and said, "Well, I am proficient in Innate divination and have also helped Kong Xuan with his calculations. Today, I will calculate for the princess as well."

"Kong Xuan..." Princess Longji was shocked. As the only daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and the Golden Mother of the Yaochi, she naturally knew the Phoenix Clan Chief who resided eternally on the Undying Mountain.

Even her father, the Heavenly Emperor, might not be his match.

Who exactly was this National Teacher of Da Shang who could calculate for a quasi-saint? Could he be one of the three thousand guests of the Purple Cloud Palace?

But why did he only have the cultivation level of a Celestial Immortal?

Xia Yi ignored what Princess Longji was thinking.

He took out a precious golden coin and began divining with the help of merit.

Soon, beams of golden light burst forth.

Countless scenes appeared in mid-air, flashing by.

Princess Longji was a powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal, and in the blink of an eye, she understood various causes and effects.

"Princess, although you have the intention of befriending the Jiao Sect and helping them destroy the Shang and kill the Jiao, they still remember the cause and effect of the Peach Banquet and are unwilling to let it go!" Princess Longji's face turned pale.

She also knew that once she left the Heavenly Court, calamities would befall her.

Now that the Western Qi was rising, the fate of King Chengtang had come to an end.

So she had always intended to befriend the Jiao Sect and help them destroy the Shang during times of crisis.

This way, she could follow the trend of the Heavenly Dao, overcome the calamities, and also befriend the Jiao Sect, with the hope of returning to the prosperous Heavenly Court in the future.

But now it seemed that she had burned her fingers, not only being forced into marriage but also being placed on the Conferred Divinity List.

"Princess, helping the Jiao Sect, forced marriage, being on the Conferred Divinity List... It's better to join the Jiao Sect. Even if the outcome is bad, it's nothing more than being on the Conferred Divinity List!" Xia Yi offered a choice.

Princess Longji pondered for a moment and said, "I am the daughter of the Jade Emperor. I can assist the Jiao Sect, but I cannot join them."

"Very well!" Xia Yi nodded.

After all, the Heavenly Court was a neutral force, and at the very least, they had to appear impartial.
