Yuan Gong, trapped inside a sculpture for many years, found it utterly uninteresting.
It was only after he followed Master Tao Da out of the mountains that the journey presented a multitude of interesting occurrences.
Now, he even witnessed a spectacular sight unseen for a thousand years, and thus was overjoyed, relishing the pleasure of watching the excitement as a bystander.
Yet, the delight of these many spectators was built upon the suffering of Lord Ten Thousand Marvelous Gao Huan.
It was pitiful that even someone like him, an old predecessor of the Cultivation World with a glorious reputation recorded in the annals of history,
was having his manhood being cut.
The attention of thousands!
Sparks flying in all directions!
More than a dozen Transcendence Bodhisattvas put away their other Divine Power Treasures, and with over ten thousand arms combined, each arm morphing into shapes like cutting machinery, laser teeth, and black-golden gun barrels, starting from the Heavenly Palace Cloud Tower, where the Gao Family's three emperors resided, an inhumane cutting process began.
One could see with the naked eye the crack and fissures slowly expanding.
The Sky-reaching Treasure Banner shook and trembled wildly, attempting to pull itself back.
In the Cancer Secret Realm, Gao Huan's "wail" was heard clearly by all beneath the heavens.
Many knew Gao Huan as a malevolent old monster, an Old Demon who survived by sucking blood, yet couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy at this moment.
And there were those beings with manhood who felt phantom pain.
In reality, this predicament was not entirely without solution; if Gao Yang, Gao Zhan, and Gao Wei, the three good grandchildren of the Gao Family, were willing to lift the Forbidden Technique and allow their ancestor to retract the treasures.
Naturally, Gao Huan would not need to suffer so.
Regrettably, none of the three grandchildren were willing to do so.
The reason was simple: if the Ten Thousand Marvelous Treasure Banner was gone, the three of them would undoubtedly die.
Gao Huan, however, had also thought about taking the three with him back to the Secret Realm, but due to an unforeseen event, he was incapable of doing so momentarily.
You might have the upper hand in one moment, yet when softened, it may not necessarily go as you wish.
Approximately an hour!
That was the brief duration.
By the time Gao Huan managed to take his grandchildren with him, the opportunity for life had passed.
Because within that time, the Nirvana Buddha Country again spilled three mechanical relics, refining all the blood and flesh nourishment around Han Mountain, and birthing three more Mechanical Bodhisattvas.
Nine plus nine makes eighteen.
The Great Transcendence Bodhisattva, instantly perfect.
A total of "eighteen thousand" Bodhisattva Arms converged at one spot.
Accompanied by sparks illuminating the sky and a terrifyingly extreme wail that the Human Clan could never produce,
The Ten Thousand Marvels Sky-reaching Treasure Tower!
The world-shocking giant that was inlaid with the treasures of All Heavens, the umbrella and divine banners, was brutally cut in half by the eighteen Mechanical Bodhisattvas.
An ordinary person experiencing such a punishment must have rolled on the ground, wailing in agony.
And yet for Gao Huan, this Treasure Banner was his proof of enlightenment.
Far more than a piece of flesh, it had fused completely with Gao Huan's Dharma Body, Divine Soul, and the Dao he cultivated—his true life root.
With this treasure broken, it truly tormented Gao Huan.
In an instant, the continuous, soul-shattering wails resonated across the Outer Realm.
The entire Qiantang, as if struck by a cataclysm, shook and swayed incessantly.
That already shrinking cancerous mass began to twitch at a frequency invisible to the naked eye, and soon after, from the broken end of the Treasure Banner, billions of rainbow cascades surged forth.
Within the waterfall that enveloped Han Mountain and the surrounding territories, was an endless supply of a paste-like substance.
Mainly yellow and white in color—both fragrant and foul-smelling.
It seemed like pus, but also like some enticing meat juice.
When it came into contact with this realm, it spontaneously created thousands of changes.
Some turned into gold and silver gemstones, some into food and textiles, some into treasures and the Secret Book... These scenes unfolded, and even mere mortals couldn't help but gain a sliver of enlightenment.
Many spectators in front of the Spirit Mirror Crystal Balls were initially stunned, then burst into curses:
"Essence of the people?"
"Indeed, this Source Qi Immortal Ointment must be the nourishment that Gao Huan, that beast, has been sucking from this realm over the years—the lifeblood of All People."
"So this is the Dao of Gao Huan? The so-called Lord Ten Thousand Marvelous is actually just a blood-sucking worm?"
"In fact, the answer to this riddle has already been revealed. Back when the Yang Sui Uprising happened, Heavenly Destiny Emperor Zhu Yong had publicly disclosed the existence of the Alchemist organization; and Lord Ten Thousand Marvelous Gao Huan was one of the thirteen old monsters leading the Alchemists."
"What a beast, sucking the blood of billions of the populace in this realm for so many years, enjoying Longevity and being Carefree, never expecting that in the end, he'd be dealt with by the three demon monks of the Demon Buddha Temple."
"What goes around comes around, I just didn't expect it to be a case of the biter bitten."
While public outrage boiled, Gao Huan was finally released.
With his manhood cut, he was no longer hindered.
Though the pain was unbearable, the remaining half of the Ten Thousand Marvels Sky-reaching Treasure Tower could be retracted back into the Cancer Secret Realm.
Thus, everyone saw the bloody, pus-filled giant tremble a few times and fling a few waterfalls before swiftly retracting toward the Outer Realm.
At that moment, three streaks of light soared against the waterfalls, each shouting:
"Ancestor, take your grandchildren with you."
"We of the Gao Family remember this grudge; the baldies of the Demon Buddha Temple just wait."
"As long as we three live, in just a few years, the Gao Family can still thrive."
Hearing these voices, the identities of the three were apparent.
It was Gao Yang, Gao Zhan, and Gao Wei.
These three Gao Family emperors had once boasted enviable elegance and demeanor, each an exceptionally good-looking emperor.
Now, they seemed like destitute dogs.
Revealing their Mutated true forms, they did not hesitate to drill into Gao Huan's severed manhood, aiming to follow and retreat to the Outer Realm.
It was understandable: with eighteen Great Compassionate and Merciful Transcendence Bodhisattvas, plus three Ultimate Happiness Realm Demon Buddha Arhats.
