Chapter 106: The Spirit Pearl Descends Upon the World

  One person wore a gray robe and stepped on a golden lotus, not very old, with a warm smile on his face. Behind him was a middle-aged monk, dignified and solemn, who was none other than the Guide and the Medicine Master.

  "The poor Daoist is actually a pharmacist, he was the one who led me to meet the Saint, and it was him who told me to save you."

  Boyi Kao was shocked when he heard that the two were Jieyin and Yaoshi, and hastily bowed down to pay his respects: "Your humble servant pays homage to the Holy One, wishing the Holy One ten thousand years of life, paying homage to the Holy Master."

  "Heh heh, young master, get up. I know you're naturally kind and have a good heart, so I couldn't bear the thought of you dying at the hands of Daji. That's why I used a substitute to take your place."

  "Thanks for saving my life."

  With a wave of his hand, a picture appeared above the cloud layer. It was exactly what Taizi thought: King Zhou suggested making meat patties from Bo Yikao's flesh and giving them to Ji Chang. Seeing this scene, Bo Yikao's body trembled with rage, extremely agitated. The image changed again, turning into Ji Chang eating the meat patties, and then Ji Chang was able to leave Youli and return to Xiqi.

  Boyi Kao was shocked, never expecting that his father, a virtuous marquis, would eat cakes made from his own flesh. Since ancient times, tigers have not eaten their own sons! It's hard to believe that the father he knew had changed.

  "The sage is above, but I really don't understand why my father would eat those meat cakes? Is the matter of life and death so important?" Bo Yikao had been educated in benevolence and righteousness since childhood, and regarded his own father as a moral benchmark. Although he deeply hoped that Ji Chang could live, he couldn't accept that his father had escaped with his life by eating children's flesh and deceiving Zhou Wang.

  "Look at Bo Yi Kao, he has finally understood and taken the first step to becoming a king. You, Crown Prince, are right to question your father. Everyone has their own path, and there is too much helplessness in the operation of heaven and earth. All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, and fleeting moments, like dew or lightning. One should observe them as such. Bo Yi Kao, if you can view the changes in the world with this mindset, you will naturally be able to break free from constraints and glimpse another realm."

  As soon as the guide finished speaking, Boluokai repeated in his mind all phenomena that are impermanent, like dreams, illusions, and shadows... After repeating this several times, Boluokai immediately bowed down before the guide.

  "Boyi Kao is willing to pay homage at the gate of the saint and cultivate Buddhist dharma, and hopes that the saint will grant his permission."

  Jie Yin looked at Bo Yu Kao with a hint of satisfaction and said, "Bo Yu Kao, you still have one more karma to resolve. If you can break through this calamity, you may enter my sect."

  Boyi Kao heard that the saint had indeed granted his wish, and he hastily knocked his head, "Thank you, Saint, for fulfilling my wish. I will definitely be able to worship at your gate."

  The guide pointed to the village of Bo and struck a golden light into his mind. "This is the foundation of Buddhist practice, you should cultivate it well, when the time comes, if you can get rid of your karma, you will naturally find me on Mount Sumeru." After finishing speaking, both the guide and the Medicine Buddha disappeared.

  Boyi Kao felt that his father's image was somewhat crumbling, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. He used the cloud under his feet to travel to an unknown small mountain in the west of Qi, where he devoted himself to contemplating the teachings that had been passed down to him, and did not go to see Ji Chang.

  After Ji Chang returned to Xiqi with great difficulty, he visited many virtuous people and invited Jiang Ziya by the Wei River. He personally pulled the cart for Jiang Ziya for 808 steps, which led to the prosperity of Zhou Dynasty for 808 years. As soon as Jiang Ziya came out, he showed extraordinary talent and helped Ji Chang govern Xiqi in an orderly manner, with everything going smoothly.

  At this time, Ji Chang was determined to expand his power. The humiliation brought by King Zhou was deeply etched in his mind. Every time he thought of Bo Yikao, his heart bled. However, Ji Chang was also a very wise man. The rich legacy accumulated over 600 years of the Shang Dynasty made its foundation still solid, and he was not yet a match for it. He could only wait for King Zhou to become even more tyrannical before he would have an opportunity.

  Without mentioning Ji Chang's sharpening of swords and horses, let's just say that after Nuwa established the Lingjiao on the Kunpeng, she was extremely displeased in her heart. Originally, although she hadn't established a sect, she could still command the demon tribe to die for her, but now the demon tribe had almost completely lost its power. Although she was revered as the Holy Mother of humanity, humanity itself was firmly held by the four sects.

  The five saints were all extremely wary of being controlled by the human race. At this time, Nüwa had only a nominal title as a saint and was not even as capable as Minghe or Kunpeng, those old-brand gods who were effortlessly self-assured. In her heart, she was extremely displeased. After some deliberation, Nüwa decided to borrow the power of the Great Calamity of the Gods to expand her own influence. She ordered someone to bring her a Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Pearl.

  Nüwa thought carefully and threw one of the green lights into the mortal world, making a move on the chessboard. The other five saints naturally sensed it and knew that this would be the person to bear the consequences for their own sect, so they tacitly approved. Laozi also had such thoughts, while Tongtian Sect Master was too proud to take action against these junior disciples.

  Jieyin and Zhunti saw this scene, looked at each other and smiled, called Maitreya to come forward, let him go find Yang Tianyou and his two sons, this chess piece should be used now, creating a conflict between the second-generation disciples of Xuan Jiao and the third-generation disciples, making Xuan Jiao lose its capital to confront Buddhism in the future, which is one of Jieyin's plans, Zhunti is also very concerned about this matter.

  Yang Jian was the first to join among the three generations of Tian Jiao disciples, with extraordinary talent. After rescuing his mother, his Xuan Gong approached the fifth turn, and Yu Ding Zhen Ren was extremely satisfied, so he gave Yang Jian a few days off to visit his mother, Yao Ji Xian Zi had been heartbroken since learning of Yang Tianyou's death.

  But thinking of Yang Jian, who had endured the pain and come back to life, he voluntarily came to Taiyin Star, where he suffered loneliness and hardship. Yang Jian returned from his mother's place with a low mood, driving a cloud head aimlessly forward, when he saw a fat Taoist priest in front of him, wearing a yellow cloth Taoist robe.

  Yang Jian had heard his teacher say that this was the favourite disciple of Zhunti Shengren, Maitreya Zhenren. His generation was much higher than his own. "Yang Jian has met Maitreya Zhenren and wishes for him to attain the Mixed Yuan soon."

  "Brother, you're really good at talking, this time I've come for your sake, follow me to meet a few people."

  Maitreya waved his sleeve, and Yang Jian hadn't reacted yet, but was already covered. In the blink of an eye, Maitreya released him. Yang Jian opened his eyes to find himself in a bamboo forest, with a stone table in the center, surrounded by several stone stools. Three people stood facing him: a middle-aged man with a scholarly air, a handsome young man, and a young woman who had just come of age.

  Yang Jian felt a sense of blood connection as soon as he saw the middle-aged man, and upon closer inspection, his appearance was vaguely similar to that of his opponent.

  "You... you're... Father?"

  Yang Tianyou's eyes were filled with tears like broken pearls. "Son!" He took a few quick steps, and the two tightly hugged each other. Yang Shao and Yang Lian also gathered around, the four of them reunited, as if they wanted to cry out all the longing of the past few years.

  The four of them cried for a long time before stopping, then began to recount their past experiences. Yang Jia had always thought that what the teacher said was true - his father, brother and sister were all dead - but unexpectedly they met here.

  "Father, big brother and little sister, how did you all survive? My teacher Yu Ding Zhen Ren said that you were all killed by the heavenly soldiers. He wanted to save you but couldn't, so he only took me away."
