Seeing this, Jiang Zhen simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
He then nodded to Laozi, and then Laozi's illusory image vanished into the air.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhen looked at the group of monks to the west.
At this moment, the old monk knelt down and said:
"Please forgive me, senior. I was unaware of your identity. Please forgive me..."
However, Jiang Zhen chuckled and said:
"Old monk of Jinshan Temple, tsk tsk tsk, I never thought you'd have a moment like this."
"What, Buddha, aren't you coming out? I remember this little monk, isn't he one of your disciples?"
Upon hearing this, a beam of Buddha light appeared, then looked at Jiang Zhen, sighed, and said:
“Fellow Daoist, this matter is indeed the fault of my disciple. However, ignorance is no excuse. Moreover, why make things difficult for a junior?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen burst into laughter and said:
"Hahaha...Indeed, this can be considered bullying the weak by the strong."
However, I didn't actually do anything, did I?
If I were to take action, Buddha, you probably wouldn't have the time to come.
That's why I've brought you here; I don't lay a hand on juniors.
Tell me, what are you going to do about this?
Upon hearing this, the Buddha looked distressed and shook his head helplessly, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to use a portion of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool water to give my disciple another chance!"
Jiang Zhen: "No problem! Then we won't destroy it!"
However, regarding this secret realm…
Buddha: "Fellow Daoist, is there any other condition?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen looked at the old monk, chuckled, and said:
"Jinshan Temple, Jinshan Temple, hehe, what a nice name!"
However, let him embark on the path of cultivation again several hundred years later!
These words startled everyone.
However, after hearing this, the Buddha did not speak immediately, but instead seemed to be calculating something.
A few seconds later, however, a smile played on his lips as he nodded slightly and said:
"What you say is right, fellow Daoist! Let's handle this matter in this way!"
After saying this, the Buddha himself took action and completely obliterated the old monk's Buddhist teachings.
It then transformed into a relic, which was subsequently stored away.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent.
Finally, Jiang Zhen turned his gaze to the trembling group of humans.
He raised an eyebrow and said:
"Heh, am I that scary? Besides, you didn't say anything out of line, so I won't lay a hand on you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 823 The Appearance of the Devouring Toad!
A flash of light appeared, and then Ma Xiaoling and Yuan Tiangang appeared by a river.
"This is the secret realm? It looks pretty much the same as outside! And the spiritual energy here seems even more concentrated!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang immediately spoke up:
"That's normal. This place is not simple... It is a very ancient primordial world."
At that time, the primordial continent had not yet shattered, so the spiritual energy was abundant!
After listening, Ma Xiaoling nodded, looked around, and said:
"This area looks very ordinary, and there's not a soul around. Where should we go?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang smiled and said:
"Hehe, fairy, don't be anxious. I'll use these few to calculate and see if I can find it."
After saying this, Yuan Tiangang took out a tortoise shell, and then took out three copper coins and put them inside.
A short while later, Yuan Tiangang looked at the copper coins on the ground, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Come with me, I've found the place!"
After saying that, Yuan Tiangang led Ma Xiaoling downstream along the river.
However, the two were forced to stop shortly after they started walking.
"This...what is this?"
Looking at the hideous monster before her, Ma Xiaoling said in shock.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang's expression changed slightly, and he said:
"Be careful, fairy. If I'm not mistaken, this thing is most likely a ferocious beast."
This thing itself has little intelligence, but it is bloodthirsty.
"It's been gone for so long, I never expected to see it here!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling frowned and said:
"This thing is a ferocious beast? I feel like it's just a mutated toad?"
"Croak...croak...croak..."
However, at that moment, the monster began to croak like a toad.
"Damn! Isn't that just a giant toad?"
However, upon hearing this voice, Yuan Tiangang's expression changed drastically, and he said:
"Oh no! Run! This is the legendary Devouring Toad!"
After saying that, Yuan Tiangang grabbed Ma Xiaoling and ran frantically into the distance.
However, at that moment, the giant toad also noticed the two small insects.
Then, it started croaking like a frog and rushed over.
Suddenly, the toad opened its mouth, and a bolt of red lightning shot out.
However, at the very moment the Devouring Toad opened its mouth, Yuan Tiangang seemed to sense something.
His expression changed drastically in an instant, and he took a step forward, changing direction.
Just then, a red lightning bolt flashed and disappeared.
In an instant, a huge rock not far away vanished without a trace.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ma Xiaoling felt a chill run through her body, and her gaze towards the Devouring Toad was filled with terror.
Just then, the Devouring Toad turned around.
Just then, Ma Xiaoling seemed to realize something, her expression changed, and she said:
Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Tiangang immediately lay down on the ground.
In an instant, the two felt a gust of wind flash overhead.
Then, everything in front of them vanished completely.
Seeing this, the two looked at each other and then let out a long sigh.
Immediately, Yuan Tiangang was about to get up and leave, but Ma Xiaoling spoke up:
"Don't move... wait... wait a little longer..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang thought of Ma Xiaoling's identity and agreed.
Then, as if it didn't see them at all, the Devouring Toad kept scanning its surroundings.
More than ten minutes passed.
The toad leaped up and disappeared before their eyes.
"call………"
The two exchanged a glance, then let out a long sigh and said:
"It's finally all over! Thank goodness, it's finally resolved!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling sat up and said:
"This is terrifying. The power of this thing is just too terrifying."
Didn't you say that the power of everything in here is restricted?
"That thing just now, what was that Heaven-Swallowing Toad? How could it be like that?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang gave a wry smile and said helplessly:
"I never expected this situation! We actually encountered such a ferocious beast."
The Devouring Toad is one of the primordial ferocious beasts. It is called Devouring Toad because its strength is extremely terrifying.
Legend has it that in the beginning of time, there once appeared a giant toad that devoured one of the three heavens.
Even the best of them, who managed to escape, fled in a sorry state.
In the end, the Sky-Swallowing Toad also earned this title.
However, the Sky-Devouring Toad died during the battle of the ferocious beasts.
His descendants, though lacking that same imposing presence, were still incredibly terrifying.
