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

Chapter 120: Li Mountain's Old Mother

Taiyi Perfected Being remained calm and composed. He waved his sleeve upwards, causing a large yellow cloud to surge out of thin air. It was about the size of a hundred acres and emitted countless golden lights.

Before the Innate plague water sprayed by the Nine Spirit Demon could land on the yellow cloud, it was instantly evaporated by the countless golden lights.

Seeing that the poisonous water was ineffective, the other eight heads of the Nine Spirit Demon roared. They spewed out divine fire, true water, thunder and lightning, and cold air...

The eight powerful Divine Abilities broke through the countless golden lights in an instant and landed on the yellow cloud, but they couldn't advance any further.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the Divine Abilities were ineffective, the Nine Spirit Demon used the Law Manifestation Divine Ability of the world. Its body was as tall as a mountain, reaching about ten thousand feet. Its limbs were like pillars supporting the sky. It jumped up fiercely and descended from a high place, trying to crush the yellow cloud. However, the yellow cloud held it up, rendering its force useless.

Taiyi Perfected Being gave a light shout, and the yellow cloud immediately transformed into a giant yellow hand, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. It became boundless and held the Nine Spirit Demon in its palm, transforming it into a hundred feet in size, no longer the Law Manifestation of the world it was before.

The Nine Spirit Demon panicked and struggled, trying to break free from the yellow hand and escape.

The Nine Spirit Demon continued to struggle, and the nine lion-sized heads collided with the yellow hand, causing golden lights to scatter and the yellow cloud to shatter.

The yellow hand transformed by the yellow cloud was not very sturdy after all.

Seeing this, Taiyi Perfected Being controlled the giant hand to fly around, making the Nine Spirit Demon dizzy. It spewed flames, poisonous water, thunder, and lightning, and occasionally roared, tearing through the clouds and splitting rocks.

Then the giant hand exerted force and flew far away, crashing into a mountain.

Instantly, the earth trembled and rocks flew.

After the confrontation, the Nine Spirit Demon knew that this Daoist was not someone to be trifled with, so it wanted to fly away.

But another yellow cloud flew out, once again transforming into a palm, radiating light and sealing off all directions. There was no escape. How could it possibly get away?

The two yellow palms closed together, exerting an irresistible force that rendered the Nine Spirit Demon unable to move.

"Evil creature, why haven't you surrendered yet?"

Taiyi Perfected Being shouted angrily.

Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void, he ranked high. He had already attained the position of Great Principal Golden Immortal after the battle between the witches and demons. Although his strength had greatly diminished after death and ascension to godhood, dealing with a Nine Spirit Demon at the Taiyi realm was still more than enough.

The Nine Spirit Demon struggled and roared in anger.

But the yellow giant hand split into nine, transforming into nine palms, each grabbing one of the Nine Spirit Demon's nine heads, ready to crush them.

The Nine Spirit Demon was terrified, knowing that with a single thought from the other party, it would be crushed into a meat patty.

Immediately, it let out a low growl and shrank to the size of an ordinary lion, indicating its submission.

"Good!"

Taiyi Perfected Being nodded, then turned to Nezha and said, "I will take this demon god to Miaoyan Palace to cleanse its evil aura and transform it from a demon to a saint. If you encounter any danger, recite the name of the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi for me to descend to the mortal realm and save you!"

After speaking, he sat on the nine-headed lion and headed towards the Heavenly Court.

Afterwards, Nezha clasped his hands and said, "If it weren't for Master's help, I'm afraid I would have been swallowed by this lion. Although I wouldn't die, I would have to be reborn from the Conferred Divinity List, which would be quite embarrassing."

"Xingjun is too polite. I have already received the decree of Amitabha Buddha to eliminate the plague demons and transform the people of Yanfu into Buddhism. It is my duty." Fahai returned the gesture.

After a few pleasantries, the Buddha and the Immortal each went their separate ways.

Three years later.

All the plague demons in the mortal realm had been completely eradicated, and the epidemic diseases were under control.

Fahai began to compile the "Treatise on Epidemics," which detailed the symptoms of various plagues and their corresponding remedies.

It included over a hundred common plagues and more than five hundred rare diseases, each with its own treatment method.

When he finished writing the last word, he walked out of the door and recited loudly:

"The human realm is above, I am a Buddhist Gate Dragon Arhat. Feeling the rampant plagues in the mortal realm, causing suffering to the human race, countless people dying from illness, I have compiled the secret medical scripture 'Treatise on Epidemics' in order to diagnose and treat various plagues, ensuring the safety and prosperity of the human race. I hope the human realm will take heed."

As Fahai's voice fell, the heavens and earth shook.

A scale-like golden cloud of merit appeared above his head.

Most of it fell on Fahai, his aura soared, and soon he opened five qi in his chest and three flowers on his head.

But he has already achieved immortality as a Golden Immortal.

At this point, the three souls and seven spirits condensed into a True Spirit, even if they fall into eternal reincarnation, as long as they become a Celestial Immortal in one day, they can understand their past lives and return to their original appearance.

Another small piece of merit fell on Xu Xuan.

In these years, he has been helping Fahai to save the people and assisting in writing "The Theory of Plague", which is quite meritorious.

His aura also continued to strengthen, and in no time, he had reached the realm of refining the Primordial Spirit into a baby.

"Master, now that the plague in the mortal world has been eliminated, where should we go?" Xu Xuan asked.

Fahai pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Xihang Town."

Xu Xuan was overjoyed.

Xihang Town is still as prosperous as ever.

The plague eight years ago seems to have had no impact on this ancient town.

Xu Xuan immediately went to his home to visit his brother and sister-in-law.

Meanwhile, Fahai set up eight floating pagodas next to Xihang Town, naming it "Golden Mountain Temple".

On one hand, he spread the medical path and helped the world.

On the other hand, he suppressed demons and cleared away evil spirits.

People who came to offer incense and worship the Buddha were constantly coming, and the incense was flourishing.

Mount Li.

The place where Nüwa repaired the sky in ancient times.

Located in the far east of the Heavenly World, it is the oldest, most sacred, and most mysterious Sacred Land in the Three Realms.

Mount Li's old mother has lived there for countless years, and few people can catch a glimpse of her immortal beauty.

It is rumored that she achieved quasi-sainthood in ancient times and is on the same level as the Lord of the Netherworld, Zhenyuanzi, and Kong Xuan.

There are also rumors that Mount Li's old mother and Saint Nüwa are one entity, the incarnation of the three corpses.

It's just unclear whether it's true or not.

Even the Heavenly Court is very respectful towards her.

Every thousand years, the Yaochi Palace sends peaches and precious dew as a sign of respect.

On this day, Mount Li's old mother came out of the palace to give a lecture, dressed in classical palace attire, with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, exceptionally noble and dignified.

Many female immortals from the Three Realms came to listen to her teachings.

Flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, colorful lights filled the air, and auspicious signs were everywhere.

The many creatures in Mount Li were also intoxicated by the teachings.

There were even two long pythons, one green and one white, listening intently.

After who knows how long, the old mother finally finished her lecture, and the strange phenomena in the sky disappeared.

"Xiao Bai, come into the palace, I have something to tell you!" the old mother said.

After saying that, she entered the Purple Origin Palace.

The white python on the nearby mountain immediately transformed into a beautiful woman, wearing a cloud and water robe, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, graceful and charming.

"Sister, do you know what the old mother wants to see us for?" the green python also transformed into a young girl, wearing a green dress, looking mischievous.

"I don't know either!"

Bai Suzhen shook her head, then adjusted her clothes and solemnly went to the Purple Origin Palace.

"Disciple Bai Suzhen, pays respects to the old mother!"

She knelt down respectfully.

"How many years have you been listening to my teachings on Mount Li?" the old mother of Mount Li asked.

"Reporting to the old mother, it has been thirty thousand years!"

Bai Suzhen remained respectful, not daring to lift her head.

The old mother of Mount Li said, "Although you have achieved the realm of Golden Immortal, you still have unpassed tribulations of emotions and cannot attain the Taiyi realm."

"Please enlighten me, old mother!"

Bai Suzhen kowtowed.

"Your tribulations of emotions can be imprinted on the Taiyin Golden Immortal!"

"Has the master overcome the tribulations?"

Bai Suzhen was both shocked and delighted.

The Taiyin Golden Immortal, in the ancient times, had a great reputation and was a formidable being.

The Taiyin Annihilation Divine Sphere in his hand could extinguish all vitality, with immense killing intent and great power, causing many demon gods and great witches to fear it.

She and Xiaoqing were just disciples and maidservants of the Taiyin Golden Immortal.

However, later on, the Taiyin Golden Immortal and Chiyou had a dispute and engaged in a great battle.

Although Chiyou had an undying body and countless Nine Li Law Weapons to protect him, he was still heavily injured by the Taiyin Annihilation Divine Sphere.

The Taiyin Golden Immortal's physical body was torn apart by Chiyou's Three Yin Divine Claws, and his Primordial Spirit was severely damaged. He escaped, along with his two disciples and maidservants, and all of them fell into the cycle of reincarnation, with not a trace of True Spirit left.

Only Bai Suzhen was relatively lucky. After thousands of lifetimes, she and her sister were reincarnated as two snakes on Mount Li.

In the long years that followed, she listened to the teachings of the old mother of Lishan, cultivated Divine Ability, and gained insight into her past and present lives.

During these tens of thousands of years, she had searched the cycle of reincarnation countless times to find information about her master, but she had gained nothing.

Unexpectedly, today she learned about her master's situation from the old mother.

"The Taiyin Golden Immortal has been reincarnated in the West Hang Town of the Nan Zhanbu Continent. Your tribulations of emotions this time are not to be taken lightly. If you cannot overcome them, you will still face the calamity of reincarnation!" the old mother of Mount Li said.

"Thank you for your guidance, old mother!"

Bai Suzhen sincerely bowed again.

After leaving the palace, she told her sister Xiaoqing about this matter.

"We have been searching for tens of thousands of years, and today we finally know the whereabouts of our master!"

Xiaoqing was also very happy, but then frowned and said, "Master was always devoted to the Great Dao and devoid of emotions and desires in the ancient times. The old mother said that your tribulations of emotions should be on the master, this..."

"Perhaps after countless cycles of reincarnation, the master's temperament has changed?" Bai Suzhen looked at it optimistically.

"Perhaps!" Xiaoqing nodded.

She didn't have much thoughts about the master.

In the ancient times, she was the master's young boy, in a male body.

But in this life, she was reincarnated as a female snake, which made her somewhat helpless.

Then the two fairy maidens of Mount Li descended to the mortal realm and headed towards the Nan Zhanbu Continent.

They arrived at West Hang Town.

After a search, they quickly found traces of Xu Xuan.

This was also because Xu Xuan had a deep spiritual charm, making it difficult not to be noticed among the vast sea of people.

He was dressed neither too long nor too short, wearing a black lacquered headscarf with a pair of white jade earrings behind his head, a blue silk Taoist robe, black boots on his feet, and holding a delicate and exquisite golden lady Shan Dian pendant, with a spring Luo fan. He was dressed neatly from head to toe.

"Bao'an Hall... Is the master a doctor in this life?" Bai Suzhen thought to herself.

Xiaoqing suddenly said, "Sister, look, it seems that the master has passed three calamities. It seems that he has received some inheritance, but I don't know which immortal he worshipped as his master."

"It seems that there is still a presence of human virtue within the master's body. Could it be obtained from saving the people?"

At this moment, Bai Suzhen also noticed something unusual about the master.

"Why don't we take the master to Heavenly World and live a carefree immortal life? Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Xiaoqing suggested.

"What if the master's master finds out?" Bai Suzhen hesitated.

"How powerful can the immortals in the mortal realm be? We are from the Li Mountain lineage in Heavenly World. Even if we enter the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor will treat us well and not dare to disrespect us," Xiaoqing scoffed, somewhat disdainful.

Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Forcibly taking the master away is not appropriate. If the master realizes their past and present lives, wouldn't there be a rift in their heart?"

"What should we do then?" Xiaoqing asked.

"Naturally, we should proceed slowly and plan accordingly!" Bai Suzhen replied.

Immediately, Bai Suzhen tidied up her appearance and entered the security hall.

Jinshan Temple.

Fa Hai sat in the center of the temple, practicing the Divine Ability of Universal Salvation Meditation.

This is a superior Divine Ability of the Buddhist Gate, a method of supreme salvation that uses one's own compassion, generosity, benevolence, and other virtuous thoughts to condense into meditation light and save sentient beings.

In terms of bewitching people's hearts, this method can be ranked first, surpassing even the Soul-Captivating and Mind-Confusing Divine Ability of the Demon Gate.

Fa Hai chanted mantras, formed hand seals, and activated the compassion and benevolence deep within his heart, as well as various virtuous thoughts.

In an instant, his expression became sorrowful and compassionate, like a Buddha statue.

With the continuous condensation of various virtuous thoughts, a compassionate and benevolent aura emanated from him.

He condensed his virtuous thoughts according to the Divine Ability passed down by Amitabha Buddha. Suddenly, a Buddha light emerged.

This Buddha light was the Universal Salvation Meditation Light.

However, the Universal Salvation Meditation Light that Fa Hai condensed was still at a low level.

If cultivated to a deeper level, it could become the Extinction Universal Salvation Meditation Path, reaching the highest level of Buddha light in the Western Paradise, the Extinction Meditation Light!

Of course, it is not easy to cultivate the Extinction Buddha Light.

Consider King Zhou, who relied on the luck of the Human Sovereign to barely comprehend a trace of the true meaning of extinction from the Blissful Meditation Light, far from achieving perfection.

Fa Hai emitted the Universal Salvation Meditation Light and, together with the three thousand guardian dragon deities, simultaneously saved and transformed the five plague gods suppressed within the Eight-Part Floating Pagoda.

Among these plague gods, three had the cultivation of Golden Immortal in the early stage, while the remaining two had the cultivation of Profound Immortal in the late stage.

If it weren't for the merit Spirit Treasure "Compendium of Materia Medica" that restrained all plagues in the world, Fa Hai might not have been able to subdue these plague gods within the Eight-Part Floating Pagoda.

If he could transform the five plague gods,

then his power would greatly increase, and he could truly command a part of the dragon deities.

Now, with Amitabha Buddha transforming three thousand Red Dust Immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats would emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

These Red Dust Immortals come from different forces. At that time, Western Buddhism will form various large and small group forces, competing for power and authority, much more complicated than the Heavenly Court.

"I just don't know when the two Saints of the Western Paradise will dig out the several Jade Void Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Teaching!" Fa Hai secretly pondered.

Currently, the Three Pure Ones are not leaving the Three Pure Realms.

The two Saints of the Western Paradise dominate the Three Realms.

Those Jade Void Golden Immortals had their five qi and three flowers on their chests shaved off by Queen Mother of the Three Skies using the Primordial Origin Golden Gourd. With only less than thirty percent of their mana left, they have been cultivating the Jade Clear Immortal Law for countless years without cutting off their mortal bodies. It is normal for them to be bewitched.

On this day, Xu Xuan came to Jinshan Temple as usual to pay his respects.

"Why do you have Monster Qi on you? Did you come into contact with some monster?" Fa Hai asked.

Thanks to the support from the reader "神威如狱88", thank you.
