Chapter 22 Tang Chi, Disciple of the Seven Star Saint
Golden Cicada pondered for a moment before saying, "Tang Sanzang, I am not sure if I should tell you this now. However, since things have come to this point, I see no need to hide it anymore. I fear that if I don't tell you now, I may never have the chance again."
Having said that, Golden Cicada looked at Tang Sanzang and said, "But these words, I can only tell you..."
Then he turned to look at Zhu Ganglie.
Zhu Ganglie immediately said with a gloomy face, "Why are you looking at me? I am Master's disciple, one of our own! Right, Master?"
Zhu Ganglie looked at Tang Sanzang, but Golden Cicada spoke first, "These are the demands of the one who asked me to relay the message. You are here, so I cannot speak, and absolutely will not!"
Seeing Golden Cicada's firm stance, Zhu Ganglie reluctantly said, "Then... then I'll go out and keep watch for you..."
After saying that, Zhu Ganglie, also somewhat reluctant, took Tang Caiyi and moved away.

Once Zhu Ganglie left, Golden Cicada formed the Immovable King Seal with both hands. Instantly, a beam of golden light soared into the sky and subsequently burst forth, transforming into a gigantic golden lotus that enveloped every inch of the area within ten miles!
Having ensured that nothing could go wrong, Golden Cicada flicked his finger, sending out a speck of golden light that faded to reveal a withered leaf.
Golden Cicada slowly stood up and said, "All that you wish to know is within this withered leaf. I am unable to access the information contained within it... However, what I can tell you is that after you left, the whole world was invaded by an unknown force. These people were terrifyingly powerful, not only were there Semi-Saints overseeing, even Saints were involved!"
Tang Sanzang was shocked, "Saints?"
Although Tang Sanzang had never engaged with Saints, he had heard countless tales about them from various sources. He knew the formidable nature of Saints and understood a principle: the number of Saints that a world could nurture and sustain is limited.
The Earth Immortals Realm, it seems, could hold at most seven Saints.
There were already seven Saints at the time; where did these additional Saints come from?
Why had the world not collapsed because of this?
Unfortunately, Golden Cicada could not answer any of his questions and only pointed at the withered leaf saying, "Perhaps the answers you seek are all within this leaf."
Tang Sanzang nodded slightly and picked up the withered leaf...
In an instant, the withered leaf burst into a blinding golden light; Tang Sanzang's pupils dilated as a flood of memories surged into his mind...
Simultaneously, Tang Sanzang closed his eyes and sank into a deep contemplative state.
Seeing this, Golden Cicada calmly sat opposite Tang Sanzang, placed his hands together, and remained silent.
Meanwhile, outside the barrier, Zhu Ganglie was staring eye to eye with Tang Caiyi.
"Why do I find you so familiar?" Zhu Ganglie frowned.
Tang Caiyi, tilting her little head, said, "Why do I find you so tasty..."
Zhu Ganglie's face immediately darkened as he muttered to himself, "True to my master's daughter, really cut from the same cloth!"
Just then, Zhu Ganglie suddenly realized something, gave Tang Caiyi a careful look, and then exclaimed, "You are the Queen Mother of the West!"
Tang Caiyi looked at Zhu Ganglie with a puzzled face.
Seeing Tang Caiyi's skeptical gaze, Zhu Ganglie himself started having doubts.
Just then, a cold voice came from a distance, "A fish that escaped the net?"
Zhu Ganglie turned to the sound and saw a man dressed in a bluish Taoist robe slowly approaching. He covered miles in a single step, reaching Zhu Ganglie in the blink of an eye!
Zhu Ganglie looked warily at the Taoist and asked, "Who are you?"
The man slightly raised his chin, arrogantly saying, "Seven Stars World, a disciple of the Seven Stars Saint, Tang Chi! You remnants of Pan Gu are really like cockroaches, always impossible to fully eradicate... truly a headache."
Zhu Ganglie looked confused, "What's the Seven Stars World? What are remnants of Pan Gu?"
What is all this about?
However, Zhu Ganglie understood one thing, this guy is an enemy!
So, Zhu Ganglie raised his head, pulled out his nine-tooth rake and slammed it onto the ground saying, "I don't know what you are, but... it seems like killing you is the right thing to do!"
Tang Chi laughed, "Hahaha... Just with you?"
Zhu Ganglie snorted coldly, then suddenly looked up, pointing at something behind Tang Chi, "Big brother?"
Tang Chi instinctively looked back, and almost at the same time, a rake swung full circle toward his head!
Tang Chi's reaction was incredibly fast; as his face darkened, he suddenly turned around, clasped his hands together forming a seal and shouted, "Delay!"
Instantly, Zhu Ganglie was horrified to find that his speed had drastically reduced, his strike as fast as lightning a moment before now slow as a snail!
Tang Chi slowly raised his head to look at Zhu Ganglie, disdainfully saying, "As expected, you natives know nothing about power..."
While speaking, Tang Chi raised his hand, lightly tapped Zhu Ganglie's chest, then said, "Delay, reverse!"
Boom!
Zhu Ganglie felt the slow tap from Tang Chi turn into a thunderous strike in an instant, the violent force stopping his heart momentarily, paralyzing his entire body, and then a wave of intense pain hit him, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood!
Boom, boom, boom...
Zhu Ganglie was sent flying eight hundred li away, directly crashing through forests, rolling along until he finally buried himself in the soil, disappearing in the dust.
Tang Chi disdainfully said, "Natives are just natives, knowing nothing about power..."
While speaking, Tang Chi looked toward Tang Caiyi.
Tang Caiyi's mouth was agape, clearly frightened.
However, Tang Chi's gaze soon shifted past Tang Caiyi to the silhouette of Tang Sanzang sitting inside the barrier, and also the Golden Cicada.
Tang Chi smiled, "So it's that runaway monk, I knew there was something off about that bamboo house. All these eons, my vigilance here wasn't for naught!"
Then Tang Chi shouted, "Tang Sanzang, come out and meet your death!"
Having said that, Tang Chi stepped forward, ready to blast open the barrier.
Just at that moment, a figure blocked Tang Chi's path; it was Tang Caiyi with her arms spread open, looking at him seriously, "You can't go in!"
Tang Chi frowned, "You're stopping me?"
Although Tang Caiyi appeared scared, she still firmly raised her chin and said, "I won't let you hurt my dad!"
"Dad?" Tang Chi looked suspiciously at Tang Sanzang, then back at Tang Caiyi, and then he laughed, "A monk having kids... interesting! But... get out of the way!"
Tang Chi slapped towards Tang Caiyi when suddenly a figure crashed down, a nail rake blocking Tang Chi's palm!
Bang!
A loud noise ensued, and the earth beneath their feet burst open for dozens of li!
Zhu Ganglie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "You even strike children, you're even more beastly than I imagined."
