Chapter 102: The Immortal Seed Transforms into a Heavenly Seal
Bai Ze was surprised: “Teacher, are you saying that the seal in my hand is the Immortal Seed?”
Old Man Ying: “Exactly.”
Bai Ze was truly bewildered: “Wasn’t it supposed to form an Immortal Fairy? How did it turn into a seal?”
Could it be that this is still a fruit?
But this fruit is very different from the previous emerald green one. This looks like an artifact, not some kind of fruit.”
The initial Immortal Seed was a green fruit pit, but this time it has turned into a seal.
A crimson seal!
Old Man Ying: “Hey, it seems your Immortal Seed is indeed extraordinary.”
I’ve heard of mutated Immortal Seeds before.”
The fruit formed from absorbing energy once is not enough to support the birth of an Immortal, so it needs to undergo a second or even third transformation.
If it undergoes a third transformation, it will give birth to a God Emperor level being.”
Bai Ze said: “Am I going to raise a Female Emperor?”
Old Man Ying: “If your Immortal Seed can really transform three times in a row, you might actually raise a Female Emperor!”
Okay!
If that happens, it would be awesome!
Bai Ze looked at the crimson seal in his hand and said: “It seems the current Immortal Seed can also be used as a magic item.”
I just don’t know what this magic item does.”
Old Man Ying: “Since it’s a seal, it must be related to suppression. You can try suppressing a mountain peak.”
Suppress a mountain peak?
Bai Ze aimed at a mountain peak a hundred meters away. The mountain was not high, only a hundred meters.
Bai Ze tried to throw the crimson seal, thinking of suppressing the mountain peak.
The seal seemed to understand his intentions and floated towards the mountain peak on its own.
Then, the mysterious patterns on the seal spread out, enveloping the mountain peak.
Boom!
The moment the patterns touched the mountain peak, a huge booming sound, like something hitting the earth, was released.
After the patterns and the mountain peak were in contact for a moment, the hundred-meter slope ‘rumbled’ and shattered into many small pieces of soil.
“This is too awesome.”
Bai Ze exclaimed, this small seal actually suppressed a mountain peak, which was now shattered into many small pieces of soil.
Although the mountain peak was not big, a hundred meters was not small either, and it was actually suppressed by a small seal.
Old Man Ying: “The power of this seal is far more than this. When your level is higher in the future, it will have even greater power. This seal is comparable to a Sage’s magic item.”
Moreover, as long as you give her five-colored soil, she will continue to grow.
Eventually, one day, the Female Emperor you spoke of will grow out.”
“Haha, this is good, this is good.”
Bai Ze was already looking forward to it. Not to mention the Immortal Seed giving birth to a Female Emperor in the future, just this seal and the pollen it releases during its growth are already a great benefit.
At this time, the sun had already risen from the east, casting its light on the earth.
And in that dazzling light, an Immortal came riding on the fiery clouds.
It was actually Mao Ri Xingjun (Mao Ri Star Lord).
Mao Ri Xingjun descended to the ground and bowed to Bai Ze in a flattering manner: “Lord!”
Before, he was subdued by Bai Ze and Old Yellow, and had no choice but to become their servant due to their power.
But now it was different. After inquiring in the Heavenly Realm, he learned that the one he was loyal to was actually the Jade Emperor’s grandson.
Although the relationship was quite complicated, since the Jade Emperor had personally acknowledged it, it was true.
So, Mao Ri Xingjun no longer had the previous resentment and began to serve Bai Ze wholeheartedly.
Bai Ze said: “Did you bring me any new information?”
Mao Ri Xingjun said: “It’s like this, Lord, you asked me to inquire about the information of the Jie Sect’s disciples. One of the Seven Great Immortals, Qiu Shou Xian, after the Jie Sect scattered, was taken as a mount by Manjusri Bodhisattva.”
That mount seems to have escaped and is now in the Uji Kingdom.”
“I understand.” Bai Ze nodded.
Manjusri Bodhisattva’s Green-Haired Lion ran away?
How could it run away? It was just that Bai Ze’s master, Guanyin Bodhisattva, borrowed the Green-Haired Lion to act as a tribulation for the Uji Kingdom, and the Green-Haired Lion thought it had escaped.
When the tribulation is over, Manjusri Bodhisattva will naturally take it away.
Bai Ze knew the general tribulation of Tang Sanzang and his group in the Uji Kingdom from the brocade pouch that Muzha brought.
The Green-Haired Lion impersonated the Uji King. Finally, at the request of the real Uji King’s ghost, Tang Sanzang and his group resurrected the Uji King and defeated the king impersonated by the Green-Haired Lion.
◈◈◈
But what Bai Ze didn’t expect was that the Green-Haired Lion was actually one of the Jie Sect’s Seven Great Immortals. A former front-line general of the Jie Sect had become Manjusri Bodhisattva’s pet. It showed how miserable his fate was.
Bai Ze made a decision. He was going to take the Green-Haired Lion. The Green-Haired Lion’s combat power was definitely top-tier. With such a follower, whether it was for his own cultivation in the future or for building a Demon Heavenly Court, the Green-Haired Lion would be a capable general.
“Then, this little one will take his leave.” Mao Ri Xingjun left riding on the fiery clouds.
And Bai Ze also returned to the camp of the Journey to the West pilgrimage. By this time, everyone had already gotten up. Sha Wujing was making a fire to cook porridge, and Zhu Bajie was adding some root vegetables to the porridge.
After a while, a pot of delicious root vegetable porridge was ready. Everyone shared the porridge together, eating happily.
Tang Sanzang said: “According to Little Benefactor Bai Ze’s map, the next stop is the Uji Kingdom. I heard that Buddhism is flourishing there, and we can have a good rest there.”
Zhu Bajie said: “That’s great. We’ve been eating and sleeping in the open all this time. It’s time to have a good rest.”
Sun Wukong said: “Little Brother Bai Ze, you said before that you would take us to Mount Hao. After the Uji Kingdom, it should be Mount Hao, right?
Are you planning to undergo your tribulation in the Uji Kingdom?”
Although Bai Ze didn’t say that he was going to Mount Hao to find Red Boy, Wukong and the others were very smart and knew that Bai Ze must have his own purpose for this trip.
Now, Bai Ze already had the ability to undergo his tribulation, but he had been suppressing his realm, not willing to undergo it. It seemed that he was preparing to endure more heavenly thunder.
So, if there was bound to be a battle at Mount Hao, Bai Ze was most likely going to undergo his tribulation in the Uji Kingdom.
Bai Ze nodded: “When the time comes, I’ll choose a remote mountain in the Uji Kingdom to complete my tribulation.”
Sun Wukong said: “Then I wish Little Brother all the best at that time.”
Just as everyone finished eating and was packing up, Taishang Laojun came riding on his Green Ox.
Taishang Laojun said: “How is it? Where are my magic items?”
Bai Ze curled his lips: “It’s not like I won’t give them to you. What’s the rush, old man?”
As he spoke, Bai Ze took out the Purple Gold Gourd and the Shaking Gold Rope from the discarded Universe Bag.
Taishang Laojun’s eyes widened immediately, and he was about to snatch the treasures. Bai Ze quickly hid behind Monkey Sun and said: “You can’t go back on your word. You still have to give me a Vajra Bracelet.”
Taishang Laojun looked resentful and handed over a brass ring with a straight face: “What kind of person is this old man? Would I break my promise to a little kid like you?”
“Give it here!”
Sun Wukong snatched the Vajra Bracelet, looked at it carefully, and couldn’t help but shiver.
He remembered how he was unstoppable by all the heavenly generals when he made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, but he was knocked unconscious by the Vajra Bracelet thrown down by Laojun.
This Vajra Bracelet is too sturdy!
Wukong handed the Vajra Bracelet to Bai Ze behind him. Bai Ze first put the Vajra Bracelet into the Universe Bag, and then threw out the Shaking Gold Rope and Purple Gold Gourd.
Taishang Laojun took the two treasures and touched them as if they were his most precious things.
He then thought of the four he had lost, and his heart was bleeding.
He looked at Bai Ze, who was hiding behind Wukong, and snorted coldly: “Hmph, remember, little kid, you owe me a big favor. Today, I gave you four Sage magic items.”
Those are four Sage magic items!”
“I know, old man, I know, hurry up and leave. We are in a hurry to continue our journey.” Bai Ze remained hidden behind Wukong, refusing to come out.
“Hmph!”
Taishang Laojun flicked his sleeves and rode his Green Ox towards the sky.
Seeing Laojun leave, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the others came up to congratulate Bai Ze, congratulating him on obtaining four Sage magic items at once.
They were extremely envious, wondering when they would have a Sage magic item?
The group continued their journey west.
And Bai Ze secretly called Old Yellow to the side and gave him the Vajra Bracelet: “Old Yellow, this magic item is very suitable for you. From now on, it’s yours.”
Old Yellow was stunned!
He had seen Bai Ze bargaining with Taishang Laojun yesterday, insisting on exchanging a Vajra Bracelet.
So, he didn’t want it for himself, but was preparing it for me?
Old Yellow was so touched that he was almost crying with excitement.
The child’s small body patted Old Yellow’s horns: “I told you I wouldn’t mistreat you. You’ve helped me so much along the way. This time, I obtained four Sage magic items. It wouldn’t be right not to share one with you. Now you have a Sage magic item too.”
If anyone doesn’t obey, you can smash them with the Vajra Bracelet!”
Old Yellow sighed: “Hey, there’s nothing more to say. I, Old Yellow, am lucky to have met a brother like you in this lifetime.”
Bai Ze jumped onto Old Yellow’s back and said: “Let’s go, Old Yellow. Let’s go to the Uji Kingdom first. This time, I’m going to take that Green-Haired Lion. Let’s see if we can find an opportunity.”
“Okay!”
Old Yellow carried Bai Ze, galloping through the sky, heading straight for the Uji Kingdom.
