I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

Chapter 1765: Chapter 839: Settling Old Scores and New Grievances Together!

"I think so too." Su Ziyue smiled brightly.

"Continue."

"The Northern Barbarians have shown signs of uniting the three Great Royal Courts recently, seemingly under pressure from the Central Plains and forced to seek survival."

"The previous two Northern Barbarian incursions cannot be easily resolved; let them prepare. Once the Buddhist issue is settled, we will immediately launch a northern expedition to eliminate the Grassland Royal Court."

A cold gleam flashed in Chen Yuan’s eyes.

"Regarding Lanzhou, the Buddhists have fully withdrawn. Dongfang Sheng came to the Capital a few days ago, wanting to meet you, likely intending to emulate Ye Xiangnan and hand over his authority."

"Hmm..."

"Speaking of Dongfang Sheng, Elder Moluo also visited yesterday, wanting to see you, but he didn’t mention the reason," Su Ziyue hurriedly added.

She almost forgot about this due to the many matters needing attention today.

"Then I’ll go see Elder Moluo. Leave these matters to others; just ensure the overall planning and don’t let it delay your cultivation." Chen Yuan instructed a few times.

"Don’t worry, I understand."

Su Ziyue smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with charm.

"Hehehe..."

Chen Yuan smiled without speaking.

...

"When did Senior leave seclusion?" In the secret realm of the Imperial Palace, Chen Yuan looked at Moluo, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon meditating, and asked, sensing something might be amiss.

Otherwise, given Moluo’s injuries, he would need more time to recover.

"Something happened."

Moluo looked somewhat grave.

"Western Regions?"

"Precisely, I’ve received news that the Savior Bodhisattva’s identity was discovered by Spirit Mountain, and he was severely injured and trapped in a void secret realm.

Currently, the situation is unclear, with no word from him for some time. I suspect... the Savior Bodhisattva, on the surface, seems trapped, but in reality, he is suppressed by the Buddha." ƒrēewebnovel.com

This was the main reason for his urgent emergence from seclusion.

He didn’t hurry to contact Chen Yuan because Su Ziyue mentioned Chen Yuan was away, and recalling past events, realized it wasn’t the right time to disturb him.

So he waited.

Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, and after a moment’s thought, he suddenly chuckled:

"It seems Spirit Mountain couldn’t hold back, deliberately setting this up to lure me over."

This was no longer a scheme but an open challenge.

They were betting that Chen Yuan would go.

"Indeed, this is my concern too. The Buddha, knowing your extraordinary strength, still orchestrated this, indicating some problem, possibly a deadly trap."

"A deadly trap... but whose trap it actually is, remains uncertain. Since the other side has made a move, we should respond accordingly. Just in time to settle old and new scores by eradicating Spirit Mountain,

and rescue Senior’s physical form."

Chen Yuan was already prepared to seize Qi Fortune and grab opportunities, and since the opponent acted first, it was timely.

"The Buddha may have other contingencies; we mustn’t be careless." Moluo looked somber, knowing well the Buddha’s complexity from numerous interactions.

"Senior, things are different now from before." Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

The former Chen Yuan was weak in cultivation and strength, compelled to find ways to turn the tide, recruit strong allies to assure his safety.

But now, the Immortal Domain is sealed, and the current limit of the Human World is the Earth Immortal. freewёbnoνel.com

Saying he is invincible might be slightly exaggerated, but he can prevail unchallenged, with the mighty Immortal Weapon in hand, and Martial Divine Rules fulfilled, the Buddha is within reach.

Even if they have external support, he has confidence in his full retreat.

In other words, now... the dynamics have shifted!

This is evident from the Buddhist actions—previously, the Buddha wouldn’t resort to such clumsy tactics, his mere presence exerted immense pressure on them.

Yet now, he has to employ underhanded means to force them to come over.

"Hehe... Indeed, if so, then I shall accompany you on a visit, and it’s time for the skies over the Western Regions to change." Moluo took a deep breath, speaking resolutely.

"However, necessary preparations must be made. Forget Su Ming and the two from Martial Emperor City; instead, invite the old Heavenly Master from Wudang Mountain to join, to settle the old grievances with Purple Gold Mountain."

"As for the others, summon Jiang He, Daoist Yang, and Daoist Li...."

Su Ziyue is guarding the Capital, and Chu Changfeng is at Zhen Nan Pass; they cannot move, but these few can represent Taoist Divine Palace in their own way and also close Moluo’s old accounts somewhat.

"Good!"

...

After bidding farewell to Moluo, they agreed to set out the next day, and Chen Yuan went to see Dongfang Sheng. Compared to before, Dongfang Sheng displayed significantly more humility.

In his words, he completely positioned himself as Chen Yuan’s subordinate.

Clearly, Su Ming’s Patriarch had warned him about how terrifying Chen Yuan’s current power is. Although perhaps not yet equal to the Grand Ancestor Chu, he is not far off.

As for the Heavenly Demon Hall, it is of no concern to him now.

Chen Yuan knew what Dongfang Sheng was worried about and reassured him, instructing that the Heavenly Demon Hall could now gradually proceed to Japan to eliminate those native ruffians.

His promises are always earnest and actionable.

Heartfelt assurances finally put Dongfang Sheng at ease, who then proclaimed that from then on, the Heavenly Demon Hall would serve King Yan faithfully, obeying all commands without fail.

After their discussion, Chen Yuan went to see Jiang He, informing him of the plan to take action against Spirit Mountain, which Jiang He readily agreed to, eager to repay Elder Moluo’s kindness.

Moluo had watched them grow, providing countless guidance and saving them from many detours. Before Chen Yuan joined the Taoist Divine Palace, Moluo had regarded him as the most promising junior, like a mentor.

Understanding Moluo’s unresolved issues, although his current cultivation and strength are insufficient to confront the Buddha, he is eager to contribute to the cause.

Chen Yuan gave Jiang He the Heaven and Earth Spirit Tablet to comprehend; it no longer served Chen Yuan but is a priceless asset to Jiang He, greatly reducing his cultivation time.

Chen Yuan also hoped Jiang He could swiftly break into the Six Realms, so he might be an asset in future battles in the Immortal Domain.

At the same time, Chen Yuan used the Heavenly Book to inform Yang Huatian and Li Suqing of the plans, both being Yang God True Monarchs now, possessing the strength to participate in the battle.

Finally, Chen Yuan returned to the Imperial Palace and indulged in an intimate moment with Su Ziyue, letting her savor the sweetness of tea, as she drank deeply from the pot.

Rolling her eyes, she remarked on Chen Yuan’s antics, threatening that if she were stronger, she would let him taste the flavor of dumplings.

Chen Yuan smiled in response.

What flavor could dumplings have?

Bitter and astringent, that’s all.

Actually, Chen Yuan didn’t deliberately intend it this way; though there were other motivations, it was fundamentally for Su Ziyue’s benefit. He was a sacred being in flesh; a single drop of blood to an ordinary person was an enormous boon.

There’s a saying that one drop from the Capital equals ten drops of blood, containing vast power that can enhance the body, even benefiting the Primordial Spirit.

Consuming and refining it would undoubtedly aid cultivation.

After savoring the thick white tea, Su Ziyue tidied up her makeup, quietly asking Chen Yuan when she might experience ’dual affinity,’ intrigued and eager to explore.

Chen Yuan was left speechless, wondering how Su Ziyue seemed like the protagonist.

He told her they’d discuss it later and that there was no rush.

It needed gradual progression, considering Pingyang’s stance, to woo her completely.

Su Ziyue could only be anxious; she knew that convincing Princess Pingyang herself was impossible with her character, as she’d never agree to such a thing.

She hoped Chen Yuan would achieve this success soon.

...

Meanwhile, in a certain place in the Western Regions.

After negotiating with Huang Ji, the Buddha returned to the Western Regions, to the place where the Savior Bodhisattva was trapped, with the remaining Bodhisattvas of Spirit Mountain gathered.

Prepared for action, just waiting for Chen Yuan to arrive.

As to who would ultimately be the victor, it remained uncertain. But the Buddha believed he had done all he could, and if they still couldn’t best Chen Yuan,

then it would simply be that Heaven does not favor Spirit Mountain, nor the Buddhists.
