Ch. 979 - Fox Immortal

The Lord of Light was bathed in radiance, at this moment, he was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

The words from his mouth came forth and immediately transformed into substance, like preaching, with the sound of the Grand Dao echoing.

Among the people below, more and more began to kneel.

“Light is the end of all things. Everything begins with light. Along the way, one must drive away darkness and finally return to light. Be it Buddha, Dao, chivalry, empires, or the storms of the world, all are but a corner of the light.”

The Guiding Venerable stared blankly at the Lord of Light.

His gaze was filled with devotion, and in the end, even tears welled in his eyes.

His emotional changes were not something outsiders could describe.

After a long time, the radiance began to fade, and the Guiding Venerable stood up from the ground.

He bowed deeply to the Lord of Light.

“From this day forth, I am willing to become a guide for the light. The Bodhisattva Temple is a Buddhist temple, and it is also a temple of light.”

As his words fell, everyone below was greatly shaken.

Without doing anything, just a few sentences had made the Sacred Lord of an Imperial Lineage pledge his following.

The great figures present could not calm their hearts for a long time.

“May you all yearn for the light,” the Lord of Light said loudly.

Immediately, endless flowers of light drifted down from above.

As the Guiding Venerable conceded and left the stage, Baili Chengfeng also announced the Lord of Light’s victory.

Those kneeling below were mostly from other sects.

Many experts of those sects looked on with dark expressions, letting out heavy snorts.

This finally awakened the ones kneeling, who each wore a face of shame.

……

It was said that after creating the Little Bright Sacred Ground, the Lord of Light left and never returned.

He walked the world, spreading light.

But his fame was not large, for he always appeared through incarnations, and many who had received his blessings never knew he was the Lord of Light.

But his appearance this time made many realize something.

Could it be that the demon really intended to destroy the world?

Many secretly pondered this in their hearts.

Baili Chengfeng then asked: “Will the Lord of Light continue to fight, or rest?”

“Since I have stepped onto the stage, I will not step down,” the Lord of Light smiled. “Light always presses forward and never leaves a retreat.”

“Very well, then who will challenge the Lord of Light next?” Baili Chengfeng asked loudly.

The scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone seemed to be in thought.

Some did not dare, others weighed the gains and losses.

“Why not let this concubine try?” a soft and alluring voice suddenly sounded.

The voice was like rippling spring water, gently brushing across everyone’s heart.

Before even seeing the speaker, many could not suppress the fire in their hearts, stirred into desire.

Some breathed heavily as they looked toward the source of the voice.

A pair of fair, delicate jade feet slowly stepped onto the stage.

She wore no shoes, pure and immaculate.

Above the feet were slender, white legs.

The long legs were covered with a translucent veil, half concealing, half revealing.

Further up, one could hardly wait to see her face and entire figure.

She was an exceedingly enchanting woman, with long, straight hair unpinned, cascading freely over her shoulders.

Her lips were soft, her eyes alluring, her nose delicate, and her brows graceful.

Her features were simply a perfect union, like gentle rippling water flowing to embrace you, making one intoxicated.

Some stared in a daze, even drooling.

Even those with firm Dao hearts could not help but praise her beauty.

“It’s Fox Immortal,” someone said, suppressing the tremor in their heart.

“The Matriarch of the Heavenly Fox Race.”

“A natural enchantress, her charm arts must have reached the apex. To gain this woman, what is the world?”

Xu Zimo turned his head and saw that Lin Ruhu actually wore a dazed expression.

It seemed this youngster’s Dao heart was still not strong enough.

But it was no wonder. His cultivation time was still too short. There would have to be an opportunity to let him experience the Great Dream Scripture to temper himself.

“Don’t look,” Xu Zimo patted his shoulder.

“Ah,” Lin Ruhu exclaimed in shock, finally waking up.

“Brother Zimo, just now I…?”

“It’s nothing,” Xu Zimo shook his head. “You still have a long road ahead. Though already better than many of your peers, it is still not enough. Compared to these old monsters who have lived countless years, your Dao Heart is lacking.”

“I understand,” Lin Ruhu replied guiltily.

“You need not feel discouraged. Everyone walks this path. Few are born invincible,” Xu Zimo smiled.

……

On the stage, Fox Immortal looked at the Lord of Light.

With some grievance she said, “Daoist, long time no see.”

“Why has Lady Xian’er come onto the stage?” the Lord of Light asked.

“Daoist, you know well why,” she smiled.

“I do not understand,” the Lord of Light shook his head.

“You are truly heartless. Back then, you left without a word. All these years I searched for your trace, but you never returned to see me once.” Fox Immortal said with sadness: “You left me alone, thinking of you, longing for you every day.”

“You misunderstand, the Daoist you speak of was merely an incarnation of me. I am the Lord of Light,” the Lord of Light shook his head and explained.

“An incarnation is still you. I don’t care,” Fox Immortal replied. “These years I searched for you only for one answer.”

The people below looked at the two conversing, somewhat astonished.

Could it be that the Lord of Light and Fox Immortal had known each other long ago? And judging by this, their relationship was not simple.

“Xiao Dingtian, even you with your thick brows and big eyes turned out to be this kind of man...” Xu Zimo said with amused interest.

……

“What answer does Lady seek?” the Lord of Light asked.

“Do I exist in your heart?” Fox Immortal asked.

“Of course. My heart holds all living beings, and light delivers the world. Since you are among the living, you are naturally within it,” the Lord of Light replied.

“I’m not talking about that bullshit light!” Fox Immortal snapped angrily. “I mean love...”

“My heart has never held love,” the Lord of Light shook his head.

“Then fine, today I will stand here on this stage. If you kill me, you will win,” Fox Immortal said stubbornly.

“Why trouble yourself so, lady?” the Lord of Light shook his head. “It is nothing but obsession.”

“What, you don’t dare?” Fox Immortal smiled.

She smiled, her lips curled, carrying a trace of pride. The light on her fair cheeks shimmered, like tenderness that could melt the snow of the Heavenly Mountains.

The Lord of Light raised his hand, and a beam of radiance descended, blasting her figure away.

The light surged, and the Lord of Light raised his hand again. Dozens of meters away, Fox Immortal’s body, which had been flung back, was lifted into the air.

“Lady, can you let go of your obsession?” the Lord of Light asked again.

His gaze was calm and still, without the slightest trace of emotion.
