Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

Although this trace of Spiritual Charm was extremely precious, it was not essential for Lu Yu. Despite feeling a hint of regret, he accepted the reality.

The words of Lu Yu reassured the Bull Demon King and his wife, who really did not want to make an enemy of such a profound and inscrutable expert.

"Haha, my dear, I told you, Mr. Lu is a True Immortal with great virtue. How could he harm our child over mere Spiritual Charm? Since Mr. Lu is here today, and it's rare that our unborn child has such a connection with him, why not ask him to name our child?"

The proposal of the Bull Demon King took Lu Yu by surprise, but he soon realized he was indirectly becoming a part of history. Smiling, he said, "Given that this child has obtained this Spiritual Charm, he will certainly develop Great Divine Power with the Samadhi True Fire in the future. Let us call him Red Child!"

"Red Child." The Bull Demon King and his wife savored the name, feeling a special intuition as if it were indeed meant for their child. Being knowledgeable, they naturally understood that this name was inherently special.

"Thank you, sir, for the name!" They thanked Lu Yu.

"You need not thank me. This is the child's destiny and his tribulation. I only hope he will have a smooth future!" Lu Yu waved his hand as he spoke.

His thoughts, however, drifted to the future he knew about. He seemed to already see the Child Servant, Sudhana, standing before Bodhisattva Guanyin. He wondered what Red Child would feel then.

The Bull Demon King and his wife noticed that Lu Yu had entered a peculiar state of mind. The ambiance around him flowed like water, a vast aura enveloping them with an air of ages, as if transforming seas into mulberry fields before their eyes, making them hold Lu Yu in even higher regard.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought!" Lu Yu apologized as he came out of his reverie, addressing the Bull Demon King and his wife.

"No matter, no matter. Sir, being in such a profound state, just by observing you, my wife and I have gained significant insights. It's a blessing, and I, Old Ox, wouldn't mind experiencing it a few more times," the Bull Demon King said. He seemed simple but was a true sage in his words, his speech tight and cordially enthusiastic.

"I haven't asked yet what brings you and Great Saint here?"

"Our ancestor directed us here, telling us there is a fortune to be had. Just now, seeing a red light fall from the sky, we wanted to investigate when we met you,"

"To be honest, I too came for this red light, which was originally a Fire Brick from the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Supreme Elderly Lord, having fallen to the mortal realm. I have collected it, but the greatest opportunity has indeed fallen into your hands."

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King initially did not understand Lu Yu's meaning. After thinking for a long time, he finally realized, "So the greatest opportunity lies here!" he said, gently caressing Princess Iron Fan's abdomen. He could feel a tiny life forming inside, with a unique charm nestled within the small body.

"With this matter settled, I have other urgent matters to attend to, so I must take my leave!" Despite the Bull Demon King and his wife's attempts to make him stay, Lu Yu took his leave.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Watching Lu Yu's retreating figure, Princess Iron Fan remarked, "Mr. Lu indeed has an extraordinary presence. I have always lived above Rakshasa Kingdom, underestimating the heroes of this world."

Seeing his usually proud wife utter such unusual words, the Bull Demon King burst into laughter, "Such men as Mr. Lu are indeed rare, but together, we are not far behind."

Princess Iron Fan looked at the spirited Bull Demon King, her heart filled with tenderness. She loved him just for this inexplicable boldness.

"Just now, Mr. Lu mentioned that the Fire Bricks formed a Mountain of Flames, did the Elder Lord give us the Plantain Fan because he wanted us to guard this mountain?" Bull Demon King pondered.

As they traveled together, they soon saw a large mountain ahead, engulfed by towering flames. The terrifying heat waves swept in all directions making the whole world seem ablaze.

Princess Iron Fan pulled out her Plantain Fan and waved it five times, which barely managed to suppress the flames a little. However, she was pregnant at the time, and her mana was not as strong as before, making her exhausted after just five swings.

With a slight frown on her willow-leaf eyebrows, she said, "I fear that no one could live within a thousand miles of Flame Mountain. Even with the Plantain Fan, it might not be enough to extinguish the flames completely. We can only wait for the fires to weaken over time."

After discussing, they decided to travel further northwest to see if there was a suitable place. Shortly, another large mountain appeared before them, covered with lush greenery, resembling a green screen.

Just with one look, Princess Iron Fan fell deeply in love with the place. She said to the Bull Demon King, "How about we settle down here?"

At that moment, the newlyweds were deeply in love. The Bull Demon King, with his heart entirely devoted to Princess Iron Fan, naturally did not oppose.

"Yes, since it will be our future home, we should choose a good name for it."

Bull Demon King thought for a while and said, "This mountain stretches for thousands of miles, much like a green screen—let's call it Green Screen Mountain."

In the Zhongzhou region of Great Chen, under a night sky enveloped by darkness, a bonfire burned vigorously. The orange flames emitted warmth dispelling the night's chill. A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe sat idly by the fire, absentmindedly poking at the embers with a stick.

His face was weathered, but a closer look would reveal the refined features of his youth.

"Xu Ziming, you seem really relaxed!" a young voice came from the darkness. Soon after, a young man in a black robe emerged, his handsome features carried a somewhat cynical expression.

"Sigh, back then, you were so spirited, towering over our generation so much that we couldn't even lift our heads. If you hadn't been so set on pursuing the Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishment, how would you have ended up like this?" The young man seemed shocked by Xu Ziming's appearance and couldn't help but express his feelings.

The words of the young man seemed to evoke distant memories in Xu Ziming. Yes, he had once been just as spirited.

Yet in his heart, he held no regrets. If given another chance, he would probably pursue the Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishment just as determinedly, driven by his inner pride.

"The matters of this world are sometimes hard to define as right or wrong. After all, this was my choice, and I have no complaints or regrets!" At this moment, Xu Ziming's eyes were bright, seemingly sparkling with a special light, which even made the young man take a second look.

"This version of you is the Xu Ziming I know. I thought you had lost your spirit, but it turns out you've never changed," the young man spoke with a mix of sighs and regrets. He had once considered Xu Ziming as his greatest rival in life, never expecting him to waste half of his life.
