The group arrived at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, and under the guidance of a group of law enforcement elders, the three of them successfully entered the door protected by a powerful magic array.

As a result, Lin Jingting sensed something as soon as he stepped across the threshold. He turned his head and saw the array diagram that was shining brightly behind the door. His face immediately darkened.

Of course, those who lack sufficient skill cannot discern the array diagram on the gate.

Lin Jingting transmitted his voice to Tathagata, saying, "Take a look at the array diagram on that door."

Tathagata turned his head and looked at it. With his strength, he could naturally sense the array diagram. He asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Chu Nian: "This formation diagram has a bit of Lin Jingting's style."

The Buddha looked at her as if he had seen a ghost and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Chu Nian: "Could it be that you sent it out again?"

"How..." Buddha was about to say "How is that possible?" but then changed his mind and said, "I... I really don't remember clearly. It's been tens of thousands of years since I sent out that storage space."

Chu Nian: "That's right, Emei has indeed been established for tens of thousands of years." She paused, then said with some surprise, "How strange, I sensed a familiar aura!"

Lin Jingting: "I sensed it too."

Buddha: "What strange aura is that?"

Chu Nian chuckled softly.

Because the laughter wasn't transmitted telepathically, all the nuns in the Enforcement Hall heard it. The head elder angrily demanded, "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Nian said, "I'm finally able to see the Golden Summit of Mount Emei that I've always admired, that's why I'm smiling."

The chief enforcement elder snorted coldly and said, "Even if you try your best to curry favor, it's useless. Our Enforcement Hall will never show favoritism."

The Buddha surveyed the undulating cluster of buildings with a puzzled expression.

Chu Nian said, "It feels like many of the buildings here are copies of Mount Ling!"

The chief law enforcement elder said with some pride, "Heh, how could my Emei be inferior to Lingshan?"

Chu Nian was speechless for a moment: I was mocking you, didn't you realize? However, Mount Ling holds an extraordinary position in Buddhism, so saying that Mount Emei's Golden Summit is a copy of Mount Ling would indeed make the disciples here feel that they are being praised.

Chu Nian simply shut her mouth, but gave Tathagata a meaningful look: Why does it feel like this person hasn't discovered the "true meaning" of this place yet?

Under the escort of the nuns of the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Nian and his two companions quickly ventured deep into the Golden Summit of Mount Emei.

"But I wonder who's hosting it now?" Lin Jingting asked curiously.

The chief law enforcement elder said with some surprise, "The abbot is still Daojing, don't you remember? When you entered the abbotship, the abbot personally crowned you."

The original owner hadn't personally experienced any celebrations after joining the Emei sect, so Chu Nian naturally had no recollection of them. She quickly turned back and gave Lin Jingting a wink; if he said another word, he might give himself away.

Lin Jingting simply gave an indifferent "oh," showing no sign of anything unusual.

Now that they have penetrated deep into the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, the three of them have gained a clearer understanding of the entire summit, and Buddha's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Chu Nian tentatively asked, "This place really resembles Mount Ling! Did the person who created this place ever live on Mount Ling?"

The head monk gave a light snort and said, "Are you talking about our Emei patriarch? Of course I have. Not only did I serve him, but I also received guidance and gifts from the Buddha!"

Chu Nian glared at Rulai resentfully, pouted, and said, "Let's not talk about the gift anymore."

The head of the household immediately felt humiliated and demanded of her, "What is your attitude?"

Chu Nian: "As a monk, you are detached from worldly desires, yet you are boasting to me about the past deeds of the Emei Patriarch. This shows that you have not studied Buddhist principles deeply and need to work harder in the future. Also, you are a descendant of the Emei sect of our country, and your patriarch is also my patriarch, so you really have nothing to boast about to me."

The chief's face flushed red and then turned pale after hearing her words, and he was quite ashamed.

A nun behind her sneered, "Wunian, what right do you, a junior disciple of Qingyun Temple, have to criticize our head elder of the Enforcement Hall?"

The Buddha felt that these people were too obsessed with fame and fortune, and shook his head helplessly. After entering the depths of the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, his expression became quite solemn, and now it was even more solemn.

Chu Nian also sighed: she felt that the entire Emei Sect was on a downward spiral.

Chu Nian and the other two were taken to the Hall of Law Enforcement. The head elder then instructed a young nun to quickly invite the sect leader. A moment later, the current abbot, Dao Jing, arrived.

Her cultivation had already begun to reach the Immortal Realm, making her, aside from Buddha and the Demon Lord, the fourth person Chu Nian had encountered to enter the Immortal Realm. However, she was only at the initial stage, and her power was still very weak.

The Buddha was somewhat disappointed; this was not the person he had just discovered and wanted to see.

Lin Jingting saw Dao Jing and immediately lost all interest in her.

Chu Nian said, "This Abbot Daojing can indeed be considered a master of Emei, but she's probably not qualified to interrogate anyone. You should find the person who truly holds the authority here and bring him to see me!"

"Wunian, you are far too arrogant!" the head monk shouted angrily.

Dao Jing discovered that she couldn't detect Chu Nian's cultivation level at all. Not only Chu Nian, but she also couldn't detect Kong Yuan, whose strength hadn't yet reached the Immortal Realm, or Kong Yuan's eldest disciple, Wu Si.

This suggests that these three individuals are likely stronger than her.

Dao Jing was shocked, but on the surface she remained calm and said, "Wu Nian? Are you really Wu Nian?"

Chu Nian said, "Of course."

Dao Jing scanned Chu Nian with her divine sense again, but found that she still couldn't detect anything, which puzzled her even more. When she turned her head and saw Lin Jingting transformed into Kong Yuan, she became even more puzzled and said, "Kong Yuan, it's been so many years, and you've become so unfathomable to me."

Lin Jingting said calmly, "No matter when, people must learn and grow; they cannot stagnate."

Dao Jing raised an eyebrow and said to the others, "You all wait here while I go and invite the Patriarch."

"The Ancestor?" the head disciple exclaimed in surprise. In the hearts of all Emei disciples, the Ancestor was a figure from tens of thousands of years ago. Could it be that she is still alive today?

Dao Jing gave a faint reply and then rode the wind away.

The Buddha's brows furrowed into a deep knot as he carefully recalled the gift from many years ago, and... the Peacock King who had swallowed him and then allowed him to escape by throwing himself into the Peacock King's belly.

Although a long time has passed, he doesn't remember that these two are the same person!

Moreover, Emei was already established when the Peacock King was on Mount Ling; the Peacock King went to reincarnate and undergo tribulations in order to improve his state of mind, which was only a matter of 18,000 to 10,000 years, which is a long time after the founding of Emei.

But he truly felt that the person meditating in a secluded spot deep within the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, a place brimming with celestial energy, was the Peacock King, whom he later revered as his mother.
