Chapter 932 Mediation

"What a pity! If Senior Xiao had possessed a powerful spiritual artifact that suited him, he might have been able to leave the four Celestial Immortal Ancestors of the Divine Cauldron here today." Ye Xingyun said with regret.

"It's not that easy. Even if Ying Taizu and the others are no match for Senior Xiao, they won't be killed instantly. They can retreat to Shending Star and defend it with the protective array. Unless Senior Xiao advances to the True Immortal realm, there's not much he can do to them."

Jing Yu shook his head: "After transforming from mortal to immortal, even the nascent soul Dharma form is no longer a weakness. As long as the cave heaven is not destroyed, one can leave a breath to defeat an immortal. The difficulty of defeating an immortal is completely different from that of killing an immortal."

"Haven't you noticed that Fellow Daoist Xiao is getting stronger and stronger?" Qi Songfeng said excitedly, "Fellow Daoist Xiao... is consolidating his cultivation and solidifying his realm in battle... He has gradually adapted to the Immortal Spirit Body, and his various immortal techniques are becoming more and more proficient."

But the next moment, Qi Songfeng's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice:

"Be careful... There are many powerful beings in the surrounding void... All of them possess profound auras, and most of them are probably immortals..."

"Hmm?" Ye Xingyun looked puzzled. "Could it be that reinforcements from the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty have arrived? Should we send a telepathic message to Senior Xiao and tell him to stop while he's ahead..."

“I don’t think so…” Jing Yu pondered, “If they were immortals on good terms with the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, why would they be hiding in the Great Void? Are they just watching Ying Taizu and the others make a fool of themselves?”

"So they're just here to watch the show?"

"It's hard to say...they seem to be waiting for something."

At this moment in the mortal world, the four immortals of the Divine Cauldron knew that even with their combined strength, they could not defeat Xiao Buyi. They did not want to become Xiao Buyi's whetstone to consolidate his cultivation, so they simply returned to the Divine Cauldron Star and stayed hidden, letting Xiao Buyi bombard them alone outside the protective array. They were truly unmoved!

Xiao Buyi wasn't in a hurry to leave. He just kept pouring out his true essence and magic power, constantly attacking the protective array outside the Divine Cauldron Star, without showing any intention of stopping.

After a full half hour, the starry sky around the Divine Cauldron Star suddenly rippled with spatial ripples, and seven cultivators at the Celestial Immortal realm revealed their true forms.

Upon seeing these celestial beings appear, Emperor Taizu and the others, who were hiding within the Divine Cauldron Formation, were overjoyed. They quickly opened the formation, disappeared back into the starry sky, and shouted:

"Fellow Daoists, you've arrived at the perfect time! Divine Cauldron Star has been attacked by a villain. Fellow Daoists, come with me to slay this fiend..."

Xiao Buyi, however, showed no sign of panic upon seeing so many celestial beings arrive. Instead, he crossed his arms and leisurely watched Emperor Ying Taizu jump around.

These seven celestial beings all came from celestial forces within the [Nine Chapters Starfield]. Some were adjacent to the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, while others were further away. The leader consisted of a monk and a layman. The monk was an extremely thin old monk named [Zen Master Wuyuan], who came from the [Galan Buddhist Kingdom].

The other person was a female cultivator, namely the Supreme Elder of the Mohe Sect, Fairy Qingwu.

"Venerable One, Layman Ying, this humble monk was meditating and seeking enlightenment when I received the message talisman you sent. I didn't delay for a moment and rushed over immediately." Zen Master Wuyuan put his hands together and said in a low voice, "What's going on? Why such a commotion?"

Emperor Taizu of Qin quickly replied, "Thank you very much for your help, Zen Master. I am deeply grateful!"

Zen Master Wuyuan said with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. The Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty and the Garan Buddhist Kingdom have always been of the same breath and are like one family. Why put on such an act?"

Emperor Taizu immediately said, "Indeed, indeed... Zen Master, the most urgent task now is to completely kill this villain here, otherwise the consequences will be endless..."

"The thief, where is the thief?" Zen Master Wuyuan asked in return.

Emperor Taizu of Qin was slightly taken aback, somewhat at a loss for words at this question.

“Hehe, Zen Master, the thief that the man surnamed Ying mentioned is naturally me.” Xiao Buyi chuckled and took the initiative to continue.

"what?"

Zen Master Wuyuan was greatly shocked: "This...is there some misunderstanding? The Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty has always had an excellent reputation in the Nine Chapters Star Region. It has never resorted to trickery or caused trouble. When would it have offended a celestial being like you, fellow Daoist?"

"May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

Xiao Buyi smiled slightly: "I am Xiao Buyi, also known as the Iron-Legged Immortal. I have only recently advanced to the Celestial Immortal realm. It is quite normal that the Zen Master does not know my name."

"Fellow Daoist's supernatural abilities are truly remarkable. I arrived a little earlier and witnessed you fighting four opponents single-handedly. To have such strength at the very beginning of your journey to the Celestial Immortal realm is no small feat. You must be a direct descendant of a True Immortal from some star region who has come to travel here. Perhaps you have had some misunderstanding with Fellow Daoist Ying and the others?"

The "Dancing Fairy" of the Mohe Sect seemed to genuinely not recognize Xiao Buyi, and actually uttered such words.

"What kind of background do I have? If I, Xiao, were truly a direct descendant of a true immortal, I wouldn't have been targeted by those old thieves, the Divine Cauldron, so many times." Xiao Buyi sneered.

The back-and-forth between Zen Master Wuyuan and Fairy Qingwu gradually calmed Emperor Ying Taizu's heart. Before he could speak, Fairy Qingwu interrupted him, asking first:

"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Ying has offended Fellow Daoist Xiao. We have quite a bit of influence in the Nine Chapters Starfield, and we might be able to mediate between the two of you."

Xiao Buyi's sneer deepened: "Fairy Qingwu, you have quite the nerve. Emperor Ying Taizu tried to kill me time and time again. If it weren't for my supernatural abilities and a bit of luck, I would probably be dead and gone by now. How could I possibly see the scenery of the Great Dao above the immortal realm?"

Zen Master Wuyuan then put his palms together and smiled, saying, "Layman Xiao, you are mistaken. Have you not heard that a smile can dispel old grudges and a smile can erase enmity? Layman Xiao, put aside your past grudges. Now that you have transcended the mortal realm and become an immortal, you can no longer be considered a mortal. Therefore, the grudges from your mortal days are naturally no longer valid."

"Oh? I'm afraid that even if I, Xiao, am willing to let go of my grudges, that man surnamed Ying will not let me, Xiao Buyi, go!"

"Moreover, I was previously chased by these people, and all my treasures and spiritual materials were taken by the traitor Ying. How can I not avenge such a great grudge?"

"Alas! This is no big deal for this humble monk."

Zen Master Wuyuan rubbed his shiny scalp and said casually, "It's just some treasures and spiritual resources, isn't it? Layman Ying, just return these things to Layman Xiao, and this feud will be resolved, won't it?"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ying Taizu nearly vomited blood. He realized that Zen Master Wuyuan, Fairy Qingwu, and the others were all biased towards Xiao Buyi and trying to force him to submit!

“Zen Master Wuyuan, you just said that the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty and the Garan Buddhist Kingdom are closely related, isn’t that a bit…”

"When traveling, harmony brings wealth. This humble monk doesn't want you two fellow Daoists to fight to the death!" Zen Master Wuyuan said with a smile, but inwardly he sneered: "Same branches? Both of you are forces that started by playing with incense and vows. The problem lies with that group of mortal cultivators under your Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty who have been thoroughly corrupted. They are a group of high-quality believers who can convert to Buddhism at any time..."
