Jing Shu felt terrified being stared at the old Daoist, she said,
What else do you want from me?

The old Daoist smiled and said,
Mini Kunpeng looks so beautiful so allow me to gift you one more item.

Jing Shu said embarrassedly,
Old man, you can keep the good stuff for yourself.

The old Daoist shook his head and said,
I must gift you this item no matter what,
He took out a wreath whereby the colors of the flowers looked magnificent but they were not fragrant.
Jing Shu was still captivated by its beauty after all and so she stared at it for a long time.


At last, she spoke with determination,
Old man, can I not take this?

The old Daoist smiled and said,
Cannot.

Finally, under the old Daoist’s forceful Qi dynamic, Jing Shu was forced to reveal her human form and wore the wreath.
After that, the old Daoist was chanting something. Then she instantly felt that the wreath started to contract and it felt as though her brain tissues was about to be squeezed out. Although she would not die even if her brain got squeezed out, this pain was excruciating.
Jing Shu spoke in sobbing tone,
I won’t try to do anything behind you, please stop chanting.

Then, the old Daoist finally stopped the spell and said,
This Band-Tightening Spell was only used by only a few people who were punished and the most popular one was definitely the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal. The reason why I use this Band-Tightening Spell on you is that I hope that one day you can be like the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal. So please don’t blame me.

Jing Shu nodded her head non-stop and said,
I’d definitely not blame you but this is too painful, can you please stop chanting?

The old Daoist smiled and said,
Alright, I’ll stop chanting.

Jing Shu said,
When can you help to get rid of this thing from me?

The old Daoist smiled and said,
I’ve never learned how to release this Band-Tightening Spell, if you meet the Winning Buddha one day, you can try to get the Buddhist scripture from him.



Jing Shu was stabbing the old Daoist thousand times in her heart. If she could get the legendary Nailhead Seven Arrows Book now, the first thing she wanted to do was to carve the old Daoist’s name on it but before this, the old Daoist must tell her his background.
There was nothing Jing Shu could do about it. However, aside from this Band-Tightening Spell, the old Daoist did not treat her badly.
He really passed on the Technique of Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve to Jing Shu and she was a fast learner. This was because she was Kunpeng’s descendant, hence, she naturally understood some parts of the laws of space and the foundation of the Technique of Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve was related to the laws of space.
However, even if she had managed to learn it, she was definitely not as powerful as Zhen Yuanzi. She might not even be as powerful as the old Daoist but it might work when she went back to compete against her brothers.
After she managed to learn the Technique of Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve, the old Daoist passed her the Amitâbha scripture. Jing Shu knew the origin of this Amitâbha scripture. It was the scripture being passed on by Amitâbha. However, these scriptures were most common in Buddhism. This type of scriptures was everywhere. Even if it was written by Amitâbha, the most useful thing found in it was only the Dao rhythm. She did not want to become a Buddhist nun and she was a free demon, hence, this scripture was no use for her.
Of course, all these were the excuses for her to not lust after this scripture. In actual fact, it was because of the excruciating pain from the attack of the Band-Tightening Spell, thus, she did not want to mess with the old Daoist.
During this period of time, she had performed well. When the old Daoist passed the scripture to her, he gave her a sign of time and Jing Shu utilized the sign of the space to arrive at the Netherworld in a short period of time.
Upon arriving at the Nine Underworlds, she was somehow agitated. After all, this was the place where the Winning Buddha became known. Unfortunately, currently, there was neither Ox-Head and Horse-Face nor Ten Kings of Hell at the Hades. Besides, the area was significantly way smaller compared to the past.
She could not find the Looking Homeward Stage, The City of Vain Deaths or even Naihe Bridge and Sansheng Stone.
Jing Shu was not in a hurry to go to the Asura Blood Sea since the old Daoist did not give her any time limit. Therefore, she wanted to get to understand the stories of the Nine Underworlds. She had never heard of the Antithesis of the Three Kingdoms Xia, Shang, Zhou, Emperor Xia, Tianyi or Qing Xuan Zhenren. The only thing which sounded familiar to her was Qing Xuan as the descendant of the Phoenix, Kui Li sister used to communicate with her through telepathy. She mentioned to Jing Shu that she was temporarily residing at a place named Qing Xuan Daoist Sect on a star in the mortal world.


Although Kui Li sister was young, she was Jing Shu’s favorite. She did not know where Kui Li sister was at already because after all, they had not contacted each other for some time.
Fortunately, she knew the location of the Phoenix Clan’s Palace of the Undead. Hence, she wanted to go there to make some inquiries which might somehow get her the information of the exact location of where Kui Li sister was located at. Kui Li sister might even be back to the Palace of the Undead.
However, she was terrified of the Palace of the Undead’s present Hall Master because he was the Mahā-mayūrī-vidyā-rājñī who had broken through all the trials. Even her old ancestor might not be able to defeat him. Besides, the Mahā-mayūrī-vidyā-rājñī was well-known for his arrogance, she did not want to go there to see his cold and emotionless face.
Looking for Kui Li sister was not a rush. Since she finally got to sneak out for once and she recently just learned the Technique of Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve, it was time for her to get some entertainment.
Unknowingly, she entered Yinshang’s territory. Along with her journey, regardless of the ones flying in the sky or the ones running on the ground or swimming in the water, she could not resist but to show off her supernatural power of the Technique of Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve.
On this day, she encountered seven Daoist. Upon remembering the Band-Tightening Spell that the old Daoist cast on her, she felt irritated when she met Daoists. Hence, she utilized her Technique of Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve without a second thought.
However, the seven Daoists seemed to be the descendants of Lǚ Chunyang, one of the Shangdong Eight Celestials. They formed a tactical formation which broke her Technique of Having An Ace Up One’s Sleeve.
She was furious at that moment. However, she did not expect herself to be so sharp as her brothers. She knew that Lǚ Chunyang’s previous incarnation was Imperial Lord Dong Hua, a famous celestial in ancient times. Although he was not comparable to her old ancestor, he was someone with strong supernatural powers. She should not take the risk to mess with this kind of people. After giving a taste of hardship to the Daoists, Jing Shu quickly left.
Of course, she was not frightened by these seven Daoists and continued to act in her own way. She took the advantage of her good supernatural power and her extraordinarily fast light travel to flee every time before people in Yinshang tried to surround her.
She seemed to not have enough fun of it so she even played hide-and-seek with people in Yinshang.


Very quickly, this news got Tianyi’s attention.
In the palace, Tianyi was standing in the main hall. Upon listening to The Seven Disciples of Xuanzhen’s narrative, he seemed troubled and said,
According to your description, this person may at least be a Demon Lord. Where did she come from?

Chang Shengzi took the lead to answer,
This Demon Lord’s mana was indeed strong and even extremely terrifying but it may not be that case too. The moment when the seven of us formed the seven-star formation which isn’t even considered as the best tactical formation, she could’ve been able to break it as long as she had Zhenren Shen’s attainment before he entered Taiyi and then we wouldn’t be able to break her supernatural power.

Tianyi said,
If it’s so, that’s even more troublesome. This person must be someone with extraordinary power and thus she has such great mana and an incomparable state. Moreover, she’s also a demon and she might be some powerful demon’s talented assistant.

Chang Shengzi said,
What Your Majesty said is right. Why not we go to Biyou Palace to inquire from the Lady Mother of the Chariot? Her knowledge is very wide, so perhaps she could recognize her background. If it’s not possible to find out, we should ask the Lady Mother of the Chariot to confront her, maybe it can make her back off.

Tianyi was in his deep thought before saying,
It’s fine, I will go and meet her personally.
