Chapter 98: Chapter 97: The Truth!


    Trantor: 549690339


    All Thank you, my two senior brothers!


    Xuanqing hesitated slightly before eventually epting the greeting gift. After all, he couldnt turn down their goodwill.


    Dont mention it! Lets go, Junior Brother!


    Child Jin Lingughed heartily, tiptoed to tap Xuanqings shoulder, looking quite the adult in the process.


    They entered Douluo Pce.


    A strong fragrance of medicine rushed towards them.


    Even though he was in his spirit form, he still felt its invigorating effect, as if he had taken some tonic medicine. It was extremelyforting.


    Following the two children,


    they arrived at a room after a short walk.


    Junior Brother Xuanqing, go in, the Old Lord is waiting for you inside!


    Alright, thank you two senior brothers for leading the way!


    Xuanqing said politely, bowing his head.


    Taking a deep breath,


    Xuanqing stepped into the room.


    The room was not big, with a few ever-burningmps ced around. In the center was arge Yin Yang Fish meditation painting.


    A low tea table was ced in the middle of the room, with cushions on either side.


    Xuanqing!


    A faint voice sounded.


    Huh?


    Xuanqing was surprised to find a daoist standing beneath the Yin Yang Fish meditation painting, and the voice hade from this daoist.


    Unnecessary to say, this person was the well-renowned Taishang Laojun, the top-notch being in this world.


    Thud-


    Disciple Xuanqing, I pay my respects to the Ancestor Master!


    Xuanqing knelt down, his hands opened wide with palms turned inwards, allowing his forehead to slightly touch the back of his hands for a moment.


    Formal Kowtow,


    this was the most solemn among the nine bows.


    As a disciple of the Taoist sect, even the most respectful greeting was not excessive when facing Taishang Laojun.


    Well done!


    Taishang Laojun smiled and nodded.


    Get up, Ive waited for you for a long time!


    As his words fell.


    Xuanqing, who was originally bowing down, felt an irresistible force lifting him up.


    Thank you, Ancestor Master!


    Bowing down again, Xuanqing carefully started to ask, You just said youve been waiting for a long time, does that mean


    Thats right, just as you suspect,


    Taishang Laojun gently nodded, pointing to the ground with his hand, Since you appeared on Five Elements Mountain, 1 have had a feeling.


    The Ingesting Qi Decision that you practised was given to you by Zhu Ganglie at my behest.


    As expected.


    Everything is just like what he has guessed!


    No wonder 1 was able to exchange household gold and silver for precious cultivation techniques like the Ingesting Qi Decision and the Five Elements Formation! Xuanqing said.


    Hehe!


    Taishang Laojunughed and shook his head, saying somewhat grumpily, I didnt take your gold and silver. That foolish nned to use them to curry favor with the Rabbit Spirit from Yunzhu Cave in Filling Mountain!


    Oh? Xuanqing was taken aback, asking in confusion, The Rabbit Spirit? Shes of the Demon Race, what does she want with mundane gold and silver?


    Demon Race?


    Hmph! She might be a demon in this life, but she will not necessarily be one in her next life.


    An expression of strong disapproval appeared on Taishang Laojuns face.


    That idiot has already made arrangements in Hell for her to have her next life as a human. Then she can umte merits with these worldly gold and silver, be a Merit Immortal, and experience the thrill of having two souls in perfect harmony-


    Upon hearing this.


    Xuanqing came to a realization.


    After learning that this game world is based on Journey to the West, he had meticulously studied the original work, the revised versions, and various television adaptations.


    After Tianpeng was sent down to be reincarnated, he soon married Mao Erjie in Yunzhu Cave at Filling Mountain. Not long after the wedding, Mao Erjie died of an illness.


    But question is, how could Mao Erjie, a Rabbit Spirit, die from an illness?


    Combine this with the next plot point where Zhu Bajie forcefully married Gao Cun in Gaos Manor Its not hard to deduce that Gao Cun is the reincarnation of the Rabbit Spirit.


    With this in mind,


    everything makes sense.


    One cant help but sigh; those who have clout in the courts can easily arrange even something like the race of ones reincarnation.


    Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Taishang Laojun speak again:


    Although youre blessed with great luck, your foundations and physical body are somewhatcking!


    Thats the reason 1 called you to heaven, to properly refine your physical body and godlike soul!


    As soon as the words fell


    May I ask.


    Before he even got the chance to ask, the world spun around him and he lost consciousness.


    During the haze


    He seemed to hear some whispers.


    Junior Xuanqing is really fortunate, Sir actually values him so much!


    Yes, yes. Thest one in the furnace was that reckless monkey. He refined the Eyes of the Fire Golden Gaze. What kind of divine power do you think our junior brother will refine?


    Good brother, mentioning that monkey really irritates me. We kindly added a handful of fire to help him out, but he shouted angrily in the furnace. He doesnt appreciate our good intentions!


    Hmph, if only we were able to descend into the mortal world. Wed surely go to the Five Finger Mountain and pee on his head.


    Giggle- giggle-


    After an unknown amount of time


    Xuanqing slowly woke up, suddenly sitting upright.


    Where am I?


    In his memory, it seemed Ancestor Master had said his foundations and physical body werecklustre, then


    Upon examining his surroundings


    He realized that he seemed to be in the middle of a furnace at this moment, surrounded by countless colorful spots.


    Whats more important


    There was a big, ck hole in the sky right in front of him.


    Inside the hole, a giant eyeball was staring straight at him.


    Hiss-


    Xuanqing was startled.


    He had just awoken and was still somewhat bewildered. Suddenly seeing an eyeball staring at him, who wouldnt get scared?


    The next moment


    The eyeball began to speak.


    Err, wrong


    Strictly speaking, it was a voice that came from behind the ck hole where the eyeball was located.


    Hee hee, Junior Xuanqing, youre awake?


    It was the voice of Yin Ling Tongzi.


    Senior Brother Yin Ling, am I currently inside the Eight Trigram Furnace? Xuanqing asked the ck hole.


    Yes, the fire is about to be started, its a little painful, Junior, dont cry!


    Upon hearing this


    Xuanqings heart jumped.


    He couldnt help but think of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, being refined in the Eight Trigram Furnace to acquire his Eyes of the Fire Golden Gaze. Even though the result was amazing, the process seemed extremely painful.


    Before he could think any further


    Boom-


    Bursts of golden mes blew out from the furnace walls on all sides, engulfing his entire body.


    It wasnt as painful as he had imagined.


    Uh it felt almost like the sensation of a skin test needle before an IV drip, definitely within a tolerable range.


    Following that


    The dark sky of the furnace started to drizzle.


    Rumble-


    The mes inside the furnace not only did not go out when being drenched by the rain, they expanded several times over.


    An indescribable peculiar energy appeared and slowly started reforming Xuanqings physical body.


    Amidst the roaring mesbender


    Comfortable-


    Xuanqings eyes were slightly narrowed, and a trace of contentment appeared on his face.


    The excruciating pain he had imagined didnte, and after the drizzle, even the previous needle-like pain disappeared.


    At this moment


    He could clearly feel


    His physical body was undergoing some kind of incredible change at an extraordinary speed..
