Chapter 190: Destiny

The four thighs were as thick and long as the pillars of a house. They crawled on the ground and were about two feet high. The webbed claws under the four legs were as big as baskets. The head stretched out, and there were six bowl-sized eyeballs on it, three in a row. It opened its bloody mouth and screamed loudly, like a thunderclap on the ground.

The green tongue stretched out from its mouth, like a long snake and dragon, and actually passed over the back of the head and rolled towards Zhou Qing. However, the toad's body was pressed down by Zhou Qing and could not move. It did not dare to rush out with all its magic power, fearing that it would be contaminated by karma, so it had to use its long tongue to roll.

There was another loud bang, and the mountain peak that was pushed open fell far onto the yellow sand, smashing a tall sand dune. The six-eyed toad now had no time to care about its magic weapon, and struggled with all its strength.

Zhou Qing used eight kinds of weapons to press the toad, not daring to relax. The toad struggled violently, and the collision between its hard and smooth body and the weapons made a faint sound of metal clashing, which was not like flesh. Zhou Qing knew that the six-eyed toad's body had been tempered by several heavenly tribulations and was about to reach a perfect state. If he had not condensed his Dharma body, trained many times, and refined it once with karma fire in the Great Freedom Palace, it would have been a bit difficult to subdue this toad.

"Come on!" Zhou Qing saw the long tongue rolling over the back of his head, and it was completely different. The colorful light of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree stopped in the air rolled up and touched the green long tongue. From top to bottom, it turned around the head of the six-eyed toad, and the long tongue also went around the neck and wrapped around it, which was very funny. Now the toad can't move or call.

"Fellow Daoist, you have cultivated hard for thousands of years and are about to achieve the Great Dao. Why do you insist on doing so? You will lose all your cultivation and your spirit. What's the point? Moreover, I have karma to protect my body. If you try to do something wrong, you will not be able to hurt me, but your soul will fall into reincarnation forever. It will be even more painful to struggle in the world for generations. There are countless elixirs and magic weapons in my Yuzhu Immortal Mansion. As long as you keep your mind pure and take care of your family name, I will not make it difficult for you. I believe you already know my methods. If you don't know what's good for you, my twelve Dutian Pluto flags are still missing countless souls."

Zhou Qing saw that the toad's six originally green eyes had turned red and were all against him, revealing boundless evil spirit. The suppressed Yuanshen in the body was spinning violently, and it was unwilling to be humiliated and wanted to self-destruct. Fortunately, Zhou Qing tried his best to suppress it, but it was still a bit difficult. Zhou Qing could not control the toad's tricks, and did not want to kill it. Subduing it would be a great help, so he quickly tempted it with a half-soft and half-hard method.

"Boy! Kill me if you want to. I want to see how long you can suppress it. As long as you relax your magic power a little, I will die with you!" The six-eyed toad could not speak, and could only convey his meaning with his mind.

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you! I thought I really couldn't do anything to you. I couldn't bear to part with your experience and consciousness from thousands of years of cultivation. Since you refuse to surrender, I will use the Dutian formation to separate your consciousness from your soul, leaving your soul and body, and then seal your consciousness in the magic weapon, and burn it with the devil's fire every day, so that you can neither live nor die."

Seeing that the toad refused to surrender, Zhou Qing was furious, "I have plenty of means and time. With your unconscious soul and body, I can just grab your head and put it in. After practicing for more than ten years, your supernatural powers are not inferior to yours, and you are more obedient. You are not qualified to talk to me. I just don't want to waste more time. I also see that it is not easy for you to cultivate, and God has the virtue of benevolence, so I kindly advise you. Since you don't know what's good for you, I will let you know the consequences!"

"Want to die! If you fall into my hands, I'm afraid you won't be so happy!" Zhou Qing saw that the six-eyed toad was still unwilling to obey and was still struggling. He wanted to detonate his soul and die with him. He immediately lost interest in conquering it. He roared and pressed it with all his strength. With a plop, the toad fell flat on the ground with its limbs spread out. It had no strength and was almost pressed into a pancake.

Zhou Qing used his Dharma body to exert all his strength. Even if the immortals from heaven came down, they would not be able to get any benefits. How could the toad resist? The little true energy that had just desperately resisted was instantly dispersed. Zhou Qing didn't care about him. He muttered a spell, took out a golden talisman and pasted it on the toad's head. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree floated above his head, emitting colorful light, fixing the Nigong Pill of the six-eyed toad, and preventing its soul from changing in the slightest.

With a wave of the flag of Hades, Zhou Qing pointed his finger, and the dark and sticky magic fire burst out from the flag, splitting into several strands, drilling into the big mouth and eyes of the six-eyed toad, deep into the purple palace, and found the suppressed Yuanshen, and burned it fiercely. The pain of the magic fire refining the soul is thousands of times heavier than the flesh. It is numb and itchy for a while, and it is like a thousand needles piercing pain for a while, especially when it directly acts on the Yuanshen, and it cannot faint. It is really a situation where you can neither live nor die.

The toad is in great pain, with a hideous face. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree suppresses the Yuanshen, but the long tongue is retracted, but the toad can't move at this time, but the body turns blood red for a while, and then turns blue, and the colors alternate continuously, like a chameleon. Zhou Qing knows that it is because the toad can't stand the magic fire, the whole body can't move, and the blood and true essence are rolling.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Zhou Qing collected his Dharma body. Seeing the immobile toad with a ferocious and painful expression, he sighed and shouted with a compassionate tone: "Fellow Daoist Six-eyed Toad, this is fate. Although you have survived the six great heavenly tribulations and cultivated supernatural powers, your karma has not yet been broken. The nine-day thunder tribulation cannot do anything to you. The heavens used me to save you, but you were blinded by karma and did not follow me to achieve the right result. Instead, you sank into the boundless Avici Hell. It is really sad! This is not someone else's fault. It is your destiny to have this tribulation."

The six-eyed toad was being refined by the devil fire. It felt that the devil fire was eroding its soul bit by bit, separating its consciousness from its soul. It was using all its energy to resist, so it had no time to listen to Zhou Qing's words. However, Zhou Qing used his profound skills to force his words in. The toad almost vomited blood and was in a state of confusion. In an instant, half of its consciousness was eroded by the devil fire.

Zhou Qing grabbed another iron-backed centipede. With a thought, it shrank into a speck of dust. With a flash of purple light, it entered the toad's big mouth and instantly rushed into the purple palace spirit platform. It hovered around the soul, waiting for the devil fire to separate its consciousness and occupy its soul and body.

Knowing Zhou Qing's intentions and methods, the six-eyed toad panicked, and its six eyes showed a look of fear. Zhou Qing saw this and hurriedly said, "Daoyou, if you don't convert yet, when will you? When the magic fire is fully launched and the centipede swallows the soul, it will be too late to regret. I have repeatedly yielded and waited for you to wake up. It is not easy for you to practice. Don't act on impulse. Remember that the heaven has a benevolent virtue and will not destroy people's souls unless it is absolutely necessary. I will punish you on behalf of the heaven and do justice for you. I don't want you to have a miserable end. I hope you will think deeply! After practicing for thousands of years, you have lost everything. Don't you think it's a pity?"

Zhou Qing repeatedly bombarded the six-eyed toad with words, talking about the principles of destiny, reincarnation and cause and effect, and the magic fire and the centipede swallowing the soul. The six-eyed toad was tortured to death, but he couldn't die and closed his eyes helplessly.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed to see the toad surrender. He quickly extinguished the magic fire and collected the centipede, but did not let go of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the talisman. He just urged the magic formula repeatedly and placed a ban on the toad's soul. He also took out a golden collar with a bell tied on it, swayed it in the wind, and put it on the toad's neck, tightly connected to the skin and flesh without any gaps. He also tied a water and fire silk ribbon on the collar, which was bright and shining, and pulled it in his hand.

"You have a heavy karma. To prevent you from being blinded again and impulsively committing sins and sinking into the boundless Avici Hell, I have placed a restriction on your soul. You also know my cultivation. As long as you practice with me, accumulate merits, and eliminate your karma, when I break through the void and ascend to heaven, I will definitely remove your restriction and let you go to heaven with me. If you don't eliminate your karma, the restriction will be difficult to remove. This is destiny, so you must remember it."

Zhou Qing held the treasure tree in one hand and the fire and water silk ribbon in the other. His face was serious and sanctimonious. He concealed conditions in his words, giving the toad a glimmer of hope: "This restriction does not affect your use of magic power and magic weapons. The collar just cannot make you transform into a human body. When you follow me to eliminate the evil obstacles, I will help you get rid of them. You must know that the more merits you accumulate, the faster you will get out of it. You can enjoy the blissful road and live freely in the heavens. Isn't it happier than rolling around in the mortal world?"

The toad had nothing to say and didn't want to waste his mind to convey his meaning. He just nodded his big head, opened his big mouth and sucked. The huge mountain in the distance quickly shrank and fell into his mouth. He also chirped twice in a gentle voice.

Zhou Qing was delighted, and then he observed the situation of the other fights.

Wen Lanxin had a second soul, gods and demons to help her, and her skills were as high as the four masters of Kongtong. Her magic skills were endless, and she smashed out large patches of magic fire and green clouds. The four masters of Kongtong were connected as one, and they could counter her moves without countering. They defended perfectly. If Wen Lanxin made a mistake, she would use the flying sword to counterattack. For the time being, they were evenly matched.

However, Xuanyuan Fawang screamed and roared from time to time. He was chased up and down by the golden circle of the Lord of Great Freedom Palace, Zhou Chen's Fantian Seal, and the gourd of the little fox. He had no room to fight back. He wanted to rush to the front for a melee, but the Lord of Great Freedom Palace's willow branches brushed and raised nectar clouds to block him. The sky ghost was also tied up and could not move, revealing his true form.

The powerful bear king was also confused by the blood-transforming sword of Lan Shen. The blood light of the blood-transforming sword and the cold smoke of the ghost white bone banner were entangled. Lan Shen's power was higher than his, and with the fairy rope of Yunxia Fairy, it was only a matter of time before he was captured.

Zhou Qing relaxed for a moment and prepared to go forward to help. Suddenly, he heard the Blue God make a crackling sound and transformed into a tall sky ghost. He roared to the sky, and the blood-transforming knife shone brightly. With a chop and a twist, the cold smoke and black air of the ghost white bone banner were all twisted away, revealing the terrified look of the powerful bear king. Fairy Yunxia saw the opportunity and pointed a spell. The immortal rope drilled in and tied up the powerful bear king tightly. The powerful bear king threw away the ghost white bone banner and struggled hard. Fairy Yunxia chanted a spell and the immortal rope tightened suddenly, tying up the Dali bear king in great pain. He rolled on the ground and revealed his true form, which was a huge Arctic bear with snow-white long hair, two feet tall and three feet long, several times larger than an ordinary cow.

"Blue God! Stop!" Seeing that Blue God used the blood-transforming knife again to chop at the powerful bear king who was rolling down the sand dunes, Zhou Qing hurriedly stopped him.

When Lan Shen heard this, he dared not disobey. He looked at Zhou Qing and suddenly said in shock: "Master, be careful!"

"Boy, go to hell!" A huge divine thought came over. The toad was very smart. Seeing Zhou Qing's distraction, he knew it was a good opportunity. He opened his mouth and a green light spurted out. It was the toad that spurted out the mountain and hit Zhou Qing's head with all his strength.

"What a bad thing!" Zhou Qing knew that the toad was unwilling to accept it, so he deliberately played along with it. He did not use any ruthless hands at first, but tortured him again and again to make the toad lose his mind. He knew that the toad would definitely take action, so he had been prepared. He brushed the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree behind his head to block the mountain. His body was also shaken back a step. He was secretly shocked in his heart: "This toad's means are really powerful, and it's worth my extra effort!"

Seeing that the sneak attack was fruitless, the toad made up his mind and sacrificed the mountain to smash it. Zhou Qing used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to form auspicious clouds, and the mountain only rolled on it, but could not fall down.

He chanted the mantra, pulled up the water and fire silk ribbon connected to the collar on the toad's neck and shook it, and the collar suddenly tightened. The toad's soul was restrained by Zhou Qing, unable to escape or resist. He could only watch the collar strangle his neck, unable to breathe. His green tongue stretched out a long section and rolled on the ground repeatedly, stirring up the yellow sand, one wave after another, surging like a tide.

"What a bad thing, I treated you sincerely, but you plotted against me. It seems that you still have a heavy karma and don't know how to advance or retreat. If you are still stubborn now, it's a pity. I still have a compassionate heart and can't bear to hurt you. I just want you to suffer a little and find someone to control you."

Zhou Qing now had an excuse, and kept urging the spell, making the toad live a life worse than death. This repeated torture would wear off the sharp edges in the toad's heart, and he would be obedient.

"Originally, I asked you to follow me to practice, but you are so fierce and stubborn, you don't listen to my teachings, and I can't do anything about it." Zhou Qing saw the toad in great pain, stopped chanting, and threw four talismans into the air, pinning the toad to the ground, unable to speak or move. He ignored him and flew towards the field.

"Yunxia, ​​go and help your master, don't kill him, the old demon Xuanyuan Fawang has many tricks, don't let him fight back. Lan Shen, go and capture Wen Lanxin, don't hurt her!" Zhou Qing ordered, and took out a collar that was exactly the same as the toad, put it on the neck of the powerful bear king, and tied it with a water and fire silk ribbon to restrain the soul. Fairy Yunxia nodded, collected the fairy rope, and chased after the Xuanyuan Fawang with the palace master, the little fox, and Zhou Chen.

Zhou Qing picked up the mighty bear king and threw him under the sand dunes, not far from the toad, and said, "Mighty bear king, are you willing to convert to me?"

The mighty bear king showed his original form, unable to speak, and could only use his mind to convey the message. He saw the toad's appearance and knew that he had been disciplined by Zhou Qing. Now he was in the hands of others, so in order to avoid suffering more, he had to agree. Zhou Qing saw that the mighty bear king knew the situation and did not make things difficult for him. Like the toad, he cast a talisman to freeze him.

The body of the Blue God appeared and disappeared in the void, and he came in front of Wen Lanxin. The two were not of the same level of strength. The Blue God was attacking by surprise, and there were also the four elders of Kongtong to restrain him. The blue big hand pulled and grabbed Wen Lanxin directly into the void, and then took back the second soul and the Ten Thousand Demon Banner. Without the master, the demon god dispersed into black smoke and returned to the banner.

"Friend Wen, I have some friendship with you. Last time in Changping, you plotted against me, but I didn't care. Today you came to harm me, so it's reasonable for me to deal with you. It's all the law of nature, and there are some destiny. I won't make it difficult for you. As long as you convert to my Tiandao Sect, I will accept you as my disciple. How about you enjoy the bliss and tranquility in the sea fairy palace?" Zhou Qing didn't speak kindly to the witch in front of him like he did to the toad and the mighty bear king.

Wen Lanxin was restrained by the Blue God, unable to move, but could speak. When she heard Zhou Qing speak, she looked at the Toad and the Strong Bear King, knowing that her strength was very weak compared to Zhou Qing, not worth mentioning. After thinking for a while, she said in a tender voice: "In fact, we have no deep hatred, nor can we talk about resentment. As long as Master Zhou promises me one thing, I will worship under your Heavenly Dao. It is not a bad idea."

"Oh, what's the matter, fellow Daoist? You may as well tell me." Wen Lanxin was a woman, and Zhou Qing couldn't torture her with means, lest Yunxia feel uncomfortable. He should use courtesy first and then force, and talk to her in a nice way first. If she didn't know the situation, it wouldn't be too late to use means. Besides, the two sides really didn't have any deep hatred, but they had fought a few times, and it was still the Xuanyuan Dharma King who was involved.

"The Yuanshen of Kunlun Sect Master Qianji is in the hands of the Xuanyuan Dharma King, as long as Master Zhou brings it to me!" Wen Lanxin's words were a little melancholy.

"This matter is easy to handle!" Zhou Qing listened and signaled the Blue God to release the ban. Wen Lanxin moved her jade hands, took the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, collected the second soul, and really did not fight. With Zhou Qing and Lan Shen, two masters, even gods would suffer, not to mention her. Besides, Wen Lanxin has been wandering around. Since the destruction of the Demonic Path, she has not had a peaceful day. She is indeed a little tired. She didn't want to get involved with Xuanyuan Fawang. Zhou Qing is powerful and vicious. It is better to be under his protection than to follow Xuanyuan Fawang.

Four Kongtong Taoist priests flew over and saw the powerful bear king and the six-eyed toad under the sand dunes. They looked at Zhou Qing and almost popped their eyes out. Kongtong had never appeared before, and Wen Lanxin and the others didn't recognize her. After fighting for a long time, they only knew that this woman's magic power was very powerful. Seeing that Zhou Qing wanted to subdue her, they didn't dare to say the slogan of eliminating evil and killing demons. After all, Zhou Qing kept saying that God has a kind heart, and they had no reason to refute. What's more, the strength of Tiandao Sect was there. The four Kongtong Taoist priests could only congratulate, and there was no way they would oppose it without knowing the current situation.

"It is a great blessing for Taoist friends to worship under Master Zhou. Abandoning evil and doing good, from demons to Taoism, Taoist friends will achieve immeasurable achievements in the future!" The head of the sect, the old Taoist priest Huanshen, bowed to Wen Lanxin. To be honest, he also admired the magic power of this woman.

Wen Lanxin returned the salute without saying anything, just looking at Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing understood and was about to speak when he heard Fairy Yunxia shout, "Hurry!" The four of them joined forces, and the magic weapons were very powerful. King Xuanyuan struggled for a long time, but still revealed a flaw. He was entangled by the Immortal Binding Rope and tied up tightly like a zongzi. When the little fox saw that the other party was captured, he put away the gourd and stopped killing him. After all, the lesson from the last time was still there.

Zhou Chen and the Lord of Dazizai Palace also took the magic weapon. Xuanyuan Dharma King cursed and shouted loudly: "Boy, today I, the ancestor, capsized in the gutter and fell into your hands. What are you going to do? You want me to surrender to you, forget it."

"Why is the Dharma King so important? You were also a big shot a thousand years ago. I can't afford to let you surrender to me. What's more, you have stained Kunlun with blood. If Kunlun comes to cause trouble, it will also be a troublesome matter." Zhou Qing would certainly not accept Xuanyuan Dharma King. This old demon is not an ordinary character. He also needs to use him to contain Kunlun.

Zhou Qing collected the talisman and used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to roll up the six-eyed toad. When the six-eyed toad saw that Xuanyuan Dharma King was captured, it immediately used its divine thoughts, which surged and passed into Zhou Qing's mind: "Master Zhou, as long as you release my eldest brother, I am willing to sincerely convert to you and never betray you!"

When Xuanyuan Dharma King saw that Zhou Qing had beaten the toad into its original form, he was also shocked: "Fourth brother, it was my eldest brother who harmed you. Boy, what do you want? If you don't hurt my fourth brother's life, I will also convert to you!"

"Brother, don't, you once commanded the demons of the world, how majestic, how can you accept such humiliation!" The six-eyed toad's divine thoughts communicated with Xuanyuan Dharma King again. Others could not feel it, but Zhou Qing knew it clearly.

"Good! You two are really affectionate and have deep brotherly love. I admire you very much. Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, you were the first to have evil intentions. You wanted to capture Yunxia's sisters to threaten me, which triggered this bad fate. As the saying goes: Heaven's will can be dealt with, but self-inflicted evil cannot be survived. It can be seen that the law of heaven is reincarnation, and every bite and drink has a destiny. Today, your brother suffered this disaster, which is also destiny."

After hearing these words, the four old Taoists of Kongtong nodded repeatedly. Zhou Qing said: "Fellow Daoist Liuyan sincerely converted to our sect, and I can also pass on my great Dao to it. Isn't it happier than you running around in the world? It can be seen that blessings are hidden in disasters. If you don't want to convert to me, I won't force you. As long as you don't come to harass the Taoist friends of Dazizai Palace in the future, maybe you brothers will have a day together. Fellow Daoist Wen also converted to our sect and asked you for the Yuanshen of Taoist Master Qianji. Give it to her, and I can let you go!"

After that, he asked Yunxia to untie the immortal rope. Anyway, the Dutian formation was set up around, so there was no need to worry about him escaping. Moreover, the six-eyed toad was still in Zhou Qing's hands, so there was no need to worry about him causing trouble in the future.

"Okay, okay! Master Zhou, I finally saw your methods. If you don't hurt my fourth brother's life, I will never appear in front of you again. And as long as I am your disciple, I will not be embarrassed. Wen Xiaoniu, this is the soul you want, take it." Xuanyuan Dharma King raised his hand and a blood light appeared, which wrapped a faint figure. Zhou Qing raised the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and the colorful light protected the soul. Only then did he find that the soul of the old Taoist Qianji had dull eyes and was a little demented, which was completely different from his original appearance.

"I used the soul-collecting technique to scrape away 99% of his consciousness, and he became like this. Fourth brother, take care of yourself. One day, we brothers will meet again!" After saying this, the Xuanyuan Dharma King turned into a blood light and flew away, but a Pluto flag appeared in front of him and blocked his way out.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, please stay. You have no weapon to protect yourself, and you have a grudge with Kunlun, which is also very difficult to deal with. I will keep one of your heavenly ghosts, and the other six will be given to you for self-defense!" The Lord of Dazizai Palace collected the nectar and released the six heavenly ghosts. Zhou Qing rolled up hundreds of flying swords on the ground and returned them to the Xuanyuan Dharma King.

The Xuanyuan Dharma King had no expression on his face. He collected the magic weapon and turned around to leave. This time Zhou Qing did not stop him again. Seeing the blood light disappear in an instant, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief and gave his soul to Wen Lanxin. Seeing the dementia of the old Taoist Qianji's soul, Wen Lanxin also had no expression on her face. Zhou Qing could not understand what she was thinking.

"Greetings, Master!" Wen Lanxin suddenly bowed to Zhou Qing. Just as he was about to kowtow, Zhou Qing stopped him with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and said, "There are not so many rules for joining my Tiandao Sect. You are my disciple, but I am taking advantage of you. You will be their senior sister in the future, so just protect them well." Zhou Qing called Little Fox and Zhou Chen over and asked them to meet Wen Lanxin, the senior sister.

"This soul has lost 99% of its memory. I can protect her soul's reincarnation. If you don't want to, I have also made arrangements to put this soul into the Heavenly Ghost and slowly restore its consciousness, but it is impossible to restore its original memory. If you want to start a new life, you can still raise him as a child." Zhou Qing saw some clues.

Wen Lanxin nodded. Zhou Qing used the Seven Treasures Magic Tree to convert the souls in the Sky Ghost and injected Qian Ji's Yuanshen into it. Wen Lanxin picked up the eight or nine-year-old Sky Ghost girl. The girl grabbed Wen Lanxin's chest like a baby wanting to suckle. Wen Lanxin felt a little sad.

"After being trained by the Soul Collection Technique, her mind has returned to the infant stage. Don't worry, her mind will gradually mature. In addition, as a Sky Ghost, she is born with supernatural powers. Her future achievements are limitless. The previous memories should be regarded as a dream!" Zhou Qing sighed.
