Facing the scorching and dazzling sunshine, the old emperor refused to be accompanied by everyone and climbed up step by step alone to meet the gods.

Even though he was panting, he didn't stop, and the longing and desire in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

As his desire grew stronger, his posture became more pious, as if the climbing stairs were a test from the immortal.

As we walked non-stop, we were surrounded by flowers and trees on both sides of the road. The flowers and plants were in full bloom against the weather, and the trees were covered with fruits.

The old emperor immediately remembered what the eunuch Liu An said.

The immortal refined the elixir of immortality, and the elixir fell from the sky. In an instant, hundreds of flowers bloomed, thousands of trees bore fruit, and the silver threads of the people present turned into black silk. The first few people actually looked like they were rejuvenated.

The emperor's pace, which had been slowed down by exhaustion, became faster. He hurriedly passed through the gate of Dengxian Temple, which had been weathered by wind and rain for a hundred years, and arrived in front of the Taoist temple in one breath.

"Emperor Chen Zhuang of the Great Zhou Dynasty asked to see Taoist Lord Kongchen."

The Emperor of Zhou saluted and looked inside the Taoist temple.

The door of the Dengxian Temple is ajar, with a gap leaking out. Inside the courtyard, you can faintly see the shadow of a big tree, and the statue of the Taoist Master in the main hall.

"Squeak!"

The wind blew over the gate, and people inside were already watching the sky. There were no Taoist priests who lived here in the past, let alone immortals.

The old emperor stepped in and stood in the courtyard, feeling lost.

"I'm impatient!"

The emperor planned to sit quietly in the Taoist temple and chant sutras, waiting for the arrival of the immortal.

After waiting for a long time, the sun slowly set in the sky.

Finally, we saw a wonderful scene in front of the Taoist temple gate.

At the bottom of the pit where the Kunlun Divine Cauldron was originally placed, a bud emitted a clear light.

It grows long in the wind and twists constantly.

Finally, it turned into a giant white lotus several feet high, standing on the top of the mountain, blooming with brilliance, and the holy fairy air enveloped the top of the mountain.

The civil and military officials at the foot of the mountain, the generals and guards, and the people of Zhou Dynasty who were watching from a distance, immediately exclaimed.

This power and vision that does not belong to mortals in this world made all the people under the sky excited.

"Look at the top of the mountain!" A minister wearing a scarlet official coat pointed at the top of the mountain and shouted.

"What a miracle! Did the saint and the emperor really see the gods?" The civil servant in blue robe stood behind the officials and asked in surprise to his colleagues beside him.

"Xianlian! This must be the fairy lotus in the fairy world." The people in the distance were even more intense.

"When the emperor arrives, there will be a vision immediately. This is destiny!" A large group of literati who came out for an outing had different interpretations.

An even more shocking scene is yet to come.

The originally wrapped lotus buds seemed to be responding to the expectations of the people, petals blooming one by one, and the fragrance spread for miles.

And a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged among the lotus appeared in front of everyone.

"God! God has descended to earth!" At this time, the wave could not be stopped at all.

"Bless the gods! Bless the Taoist Lord Kongchen!" The number of people kneeling down continued to increase, and they kept kowtowing. Some asked for the blessings of the gods, and some asked for fame and wealth.

"It's really a worthwhile trip! It's a worthwhile trip! I didn't expect to see not only the saints and emperors today, but also gods." Among the crowd, the merchants who had only seen the emperor and gods appear in the morning were now followed by a few people around them.

The waiter's face flushed with excitement, and then he kowtowed with everyone.

The moment the lotus flowers unfolded, the old emperor hurriedly stepped out of the gate and looked up at the Taoist sitting cross-legged among the lotus flowers, his face covered by light and his figure looming.

"Immortal!"

The old emperor's eyes froze for a moment, then he immediately asked in shock.

"Is it really Taoist Kongchen in person?"

But as soon as the words came out, he confirmed it himself, and excitedly bowed under the huge white lotus.

"Emperor Chen Zhuang of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Meet Taoist Lord Kongchen!"

The Taoist on White Lotus asked: "I heard that your heart is very strong towards the Tao! I was very happy to hear that, so I came here to take a look."

"If it's true, I just made a pot of elixir of immortality and can give it to you!"

Master Bailian's voice paused slightly.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of sneer.

"I don't know!"

"Is it true?"

When Emperor Chen Zhuang of the Great Zhou Dynasty heard these words, he was trembling all over. As a majestic emperor, he suddenly fell to the ground.

Like a wild dog grabbing for food, it crawled forward and rushed directly to the feet of the Taoist and Xianlian.

He choked his head on the ground and knocked his head loudly.

"Chen Zhuang is devoted to the Tao. He has meditated to understand the Tao and practiced painstakingly for many years. His mind can be learned by the sun and the earth!"

"I also ask Dao Lord to show mercy and grant Chen Zhuang the elixir of life!"

The Yin Yang Taoist sitting cross-legged laughed out loud. Unexpectedly, the blood demon's performance was just like the real thing. This appearance really made the stupid ordinary man come to life.

If I were that Gao Shi, I might actually be moved by him.

The person who came was Taoist Yin Yang. He and the demons had been waiting around for a long time. Before Gao Shi could find any trace, he showed up in person and prepared to force Gao Shi out directly.

What both sides saw were different scenes.

One party regards the demon as a god and begs for immortality.

One party regards mortals as fellow demons, and intrigues are going on behind the scenes.

A funny and ridiculous farce was going on.

Although Si Tian Jian and Tao Xian were at the foot of the mountain, they kept looking at the top of the mountain with their Dharma eyes open.

When the so-called Dao Lord Kongchen appeared, Sitian Supervisor Tao Xian felt that something was abnormal, which was inconsistent with the usual image of Dao Lord Kongchen.

After another faint look, I actually felt that the figure on the back looked familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly recalled the figure that appeared on the roof under the moon during the blood moon night.

"No! This is not Lord Kongchen!"

"It's... Onmyoji Taoist!"

Tao Xian screamed in surprise and immediately wanted to climb a mountain to rescue him.

But just when he wanted to boost his energy, he discovered that not only was the emperor under the control of others, but he himself had also been targeted by another terrifying demon.

Layers of tiny vines under the soles of his feet penetrated into the Taoist robe, restraining Tao Xian.

"Uh... uh... gurgle gurgle!"

At this moment, Tao Xian felt that his body was turning into a wood-like existence little by little. He was so stiff that he couldn't even stretch his tongue or speak, let alone do anything else.

I can only watch helplessly on the top of the mountain, the emperor falling into the demon's urn little by little.

In front of the Immortal Temple, the farce is still going on.

The Yin Yang Taoist spoke from a high position: "How strong is your Taoist heart? Can you prove it yourself?"

"Do you understand the price of this eternal life?"

The Emperor of Zhou begged and wept.

Immortality was right in front of him, and the ghostly soul was behind him. He couldn't care about anything anymore.

"Chen Zhuang!"

"at all costs!"

Every word in these words reveals the fear of life and death, as well as the greed for immortality.

"At all costs?" Upon hearing these words, Taoist Yin Yang's voice suddenly calmed down and lost all emotion.

Then the voice turned into uncontrollable fury.

"You stupid mortal! Do you know what all the costs are? Do you know the pain behind this immortality!"

"I'll let you see it today."

"How high the price of immortality is!"

With a roar, Taoist Yin Yang completely revealed his true face.

The light mist that obscured the face dissipated, and the strange white lotus unfolded completely, revealing a terrifying body that was half alive and half dead.

When the old emperor saw this face, he was so frightened that he completely lost his soul and collapsed to the ground.

"ah?"

"What's going on? Who are you?"

"What the hell are you...?"
