The Unruly Immortals

"Brother Zhuge, it's me! Li Huowang!" Li Huowang pointed at his body, which was being controlled by Li Sui, and after a thorough explanation, he made Zhuge Yuan aware of what had happened.

Once he accepted the explanation, Li Huowang didn't care about anything else and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Zhuge, we must leave this place! It's not safe to stay here any longer! The Astrological Bureau of Da Liang and the Oblivion Path have started fighting, and if you stay, you may become collateral damage!"

Zhuge Yuan, however, shook his head and pointed toward the Imperial Palace in front of them, "No, we've already begun purging the Emperor's side. How can there be any reason to abandon the purge halfway through?"

No matter what Li Huowang had just gone through, from Zhuge Yuan's perspective, it was Li who had entered the palace with the others, forcing the puppet child Emperor of Da Qi to abdicate.

At this moment, around him, some wearing Battle Armor of the Military and various Civil Officials surrounded Zhuge Yuan, naturally forming a group with him at the lead.

Seeing how anxious Li Huowang looked, Zhuge Yuan said confidently, "Don't worry, everything is under control with me here."

Li Huowang looked around, the clear distinction was obvious, the golden light was Da Liang, and the white snow-covered lands were Da Qi, the gold inside and the white outside, sharply demarcated.

And the strange chanting from Da Liang had abruptly stopped as if it were blocked outside. Heart Pan's ability was so magical that it could even block the influence of the Fate Commander.

"So how much longer do we have?" Li Huowang asked again.

"At most the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Just ahead is the Zen Room where the Empress Dowager is worshiping and chanting scriptures, and the little Emperor is in there as well. We just need to ask him to issue an edict to abdicate, and that'll be it."

Li Huowang glanced at the body controlled by Li Sui and after thinking for a moment, he clenched his teeth. "Okay! I'll help you! Let's make it quick!"

Zhuge Yuan continued to move forward, the environment around him also changing as he did. Some people who were fighting also got caught up in it.

But at the moment, neither the Astrological Bureau's people nor those from the Oblivion Path seemed to have any intention to pay attention to Zhuge Yuan.

Watching these people pass through his surroundings and quickly turn into fleeing Palace Maids and eunuchs, Zhuge Yuan seemed to think of something, his brows gradually furrowing.

When the door of the Zen Room was suddenly pushed open, a low chant accompanied by the sound of the wooden fish hit them in the face. "Sapoha lafa ye, duo yi meng a li ye, Namo narajin chi..."

A group of monks dressed in yellow robes were sitting all around the Zen Room. They were arranged in layers inside and out, forming a circle, and in the center of the circle, an old abbot in a Kasaya was back to them, shaving a child's head, whose face was ashen pale.

Li Huowang recognized the child. It was the puppet child Emperor of Da Qi who once had deceptively taken on his appearance in front of the Oblivion Path.

"Shaving as a monk? Have the monks of Zhengde Temple gone mad? Initiating a zombie into Buddhism?" Someone exclaimed, but the monks continued doing their own tasks without regard.

The razor gently scraped away until the last strand of hair had fallen. "Amitabha, well done, well done. Having cut through three thousand worldly worries, your Dharma name shall be Jie Tan, and you're now a disciple of Zhengde Temple. Should anyone dare treat you with malice, they will be making an enemy of Zhengde Temple."

As he spoke, the old monk in the Kasaya slowly turned his head. When Li Huowang saw his face, he was stunned and blurted out involuntarily, "Monk?!"

The face of this old abbot, if not his, who else could it be? It was exactly the Monk Huan Jue from his side!

In this place, a monk could only be an old monk without a temple, but in Da Qi, he was the abbot of Zhengde Temple!

Suddenly, Li Huowang came to understand a lot. This Da Qi was not the Da Qi from a thousand years ago. Coming to Zhuge Yuan's side was not time-traveling back a thousand years, but arriving at another timeline instead.

Li Huowang subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhuge Yuan beside him, remembering his nickname, the storyteller, as well as the severe penalties for privately printing historical books previously listed on the sign opposite the Astrological Bureau. "Zhuge Yuan's Da Qi is another history of this chaotic world!"

All these things surged into Li Huowang's brain with a bang. He had never been able to understand exactly what was going on around Zhuge Yuan, but now he suddenly comprehended what Heart Pan truly was— it was a door, a door that led to another history!

The Oblivion Paths that had come before were actually the Oblivion Paths from another history! And in this history, a Monk had become the abbot of Zhengde Temple!

While these thoughts were going through his mind, Li Huowang was unaware of what Zhuge Yuan had said, but suddenly the entire Zen Room of Zhengde Temple erupted in a loud clamor as everyone stood up.

As they brought their hands together in prayer, sneaky eyes, large and small, flickered in and out of visibility from the wounds on their heads.

As the chanting from their mouths grew louder and louder, even the massive Buddha statue on the wall began to curve its lips in a slight smile.

"Great masters! Since you are cultivators who eat vegetarian and recite Buddha's name, wouldn't it be inappropriate to be too entangled with the mundane world?" Zhuge Yuan snapped open a scroll, and some of the Monks in the Zen Room disappeared abruptly.

He had used the Heart Turbidity in the painting to hide those Monks away.

"Stop!!" With the Monks clapping their hands one after another, they glared furiously with their eyes bulging in an instant, followed by a peacock's tail-like spread of bloodied, muddled thousands of hands extending from their backs.

Just when it seemed like a fight was about to break out, the Zen Room suddenly began to shake as if an earthquake had hit, followed by a strange sound that could make one's Ten Emotions and Eight Miseries come undone.

The moment the sound began, some of the Da Qi People around Zhuge Yuan fell to the ground, screaming miserably as their bodies started to become chaotic.

"What's happening!" Li Huowang turned around instinctively and saw Da Liang's giant vertical eye standing there like a large mountain.

"Brother Zhuge! We can't stay any longer! No matter what this is, Da Liang has already started to affect Da Qi!!" Li Huowang covered his ears and yelled frantically.

However, faced with such a situation, Zhuge Yuan simply smiled coldly. "Hmph! Do not deceive me! No matter how large you become, what's fake will ultimately remain fake!"

Having said that, Zhuge Yuan quickly took out an Almanac from his bosom and began to write in it, but before he could finish, as the giant eye snapped open, Zhuge Yuan suddenly knelt on one knee in pain. Some things resembling translucent umbilical cords flickered on and off on his body, and the clouds in the sky began to churn tumultuously.

At this moment, even moving slightly was very difficult for Li Huowang. If they continued like this, he feared that he and Zhuge Yuan would die here!

Li Huowang made up his mind and pulled out a dagger, slashing deeply across his own neck.

The Great Thousand Record, red as blood, spread rapidly on the ground. "Wood Liver! Earth Spleen! Metal Lung! Water Kidney! Fire Heart! Leap Place Five Elements!"

As Li Huowang slapped his five organs onto it one after another, his senses began to merge gradually. He sensed the presence of Bahu.

Following that, the red sticks of the Great Thousand Record twisted into worms and swiftly burrowed into his body, devouring the fragmented flesh and intertwining as they rapidly multiplied. In no time at all, they occupied Li Huowang's hollow chest cavity and even began to spill out.

Despite his terrifying bodily state, Li Huowang felt fantastic. His body no longer hurt, and his mind was no longer confused.

Moreover, no matter how large the giant vertical eye glared, the strange sound could no longer affect him.

The Leap Place Five Elements should not be used carelessly because it required the sacrifice of the five organs, and one's life could only use it once. However, Li Huowang did not care, for this was not his body, it was Bei Feng's.
