Chapter 44: Formulating a Strategy



Facing a world-destroying catastrophe, different people have different attitudes.

Most people would definitely think that they should ascend to heaven as soon as possible and not stay in this world that is about to be destroyed - this way it is fast, safe, and hassle-free, isn’t it wonderful?

However, with only a thousand years to go before the end of the world, it would be too late for the Jindan realm cultivators to achieve immortality, and most of the Yuanying realm cultivators would also be in trouble. What should these fellow disciples do? Therefore, some people with lofty ambitions, such as the Penglai Wanxiang Immortal, thought about protecting the sect as soon as possible, at least to buy the last development time for those cultivators who were not at a high enough level.

And the powerful person who created the Jinchan Temple probably had the same plan, right?

Mingzhi has always held an attitude of veneration, admiration and respect for such people with selfless love, so he made a difficult decision to steal the fragments of the sky-repairing stone that maintained the sky formation in this cave, and then use it to repair the sky. In this way, there will be no space shocks to harm the monks. Wonderful!

From now on, I will bear your pain!

Mingzhi calmly stepped over the ruins of the town and continued on his way.

The town was built on a flat ground at the foot of the mountain. Further ahead was a huge rift valley that surrounded the town and the entire mountain range. It seemed that this was the boundary of the cave heaven.

He silently turned on the scanning mode and saw dense runes climbing up from the bottom of the rift and converging at the end of the sky above the top of the mountain to form a huge semicircular shield.

Continuing to look at the bottom of the rift, Mingzhi smiled and said:

"Looking at the direction of the cliffs in this rift valley, I'm afraid someone must have installed a nuclear-powered jet engine at the bottom, otherwise it wouldn't be broken so smoothly."

"What is nuclear power?" Su Mingjian asked.

"What is a jet engine?" Kunlun Jing also asked.

"You don't need to know." Mingzhi calmly ordered, "Ah Jing, where is the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone? Find it for me quickly."

Kunlun Mirror: ...

She quickly enlarged the scanning range and patiently scanned inch by inch, only to hear Mingzhi say again:

"No need. Judging from the current formation, this fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone, as a weapon to suppress the formation, must be located in the center of the formation, which is the most suitable place for the center of the cave."

"The center of this world..." Kunlun Jing pondered for a moment and said, "It seems to be under the Buddhist temple? In the mountain?"

“You can use the Five Elements Divine Light to penetrate it.” Su Mingjian suggested.

"Don't worry about it." Mingzhi thought for a moment and shook his head, "We still need to find out what the Jinchan Temple has."

"Otherwise, if I just grabbed the Heaven-Repairing Stone and some old monster was alarmed over there, and came out and slapped me to death, wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

"Where did all these old monsters come from?" Su Mingjian said with a smile, "Sword Master is now in the Nascent Soul stage, and is also a first-grade Immortal Infant. He can even fight against immortals who have come down to earth. Are you afraid of this small Jinchan Temple?"

"What do you mean by arm wrestling with an immortal?" Mingzhi immediately complained, "If I could beat an immortal, why would I need to lie dormant with all these trumpets? I can only barely have the strength to protect myself and escape."

"That's enough!" Su Mingjian urged, "Just steal the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone, and then have Ah Jing teleport you out! Anyway, the cave of Jinchan Temple is isolated from the outside world, so even if the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone is stolen, it won't matter even if the cave is blown up."

"No, it is somewhat related." Mingzhi thought carefully for a moment and said, "Number Two is monitoring in the temple. If there is any big noise, the Hell Realm will definitely suspect me."

"Besides, I am here to practice in secret. On the surface, I am asked to collect information. If I leave rashly, how will I explain to the Hell?"

"In that case, wait until Hell lets you go, and then take action on the Sky-Repairing Stone," Kunlun Mirror suggested.

"Yeah." Mingzhi said calmly, "If I continue to do nothing, I'm afraid that the people in Hell will get restless too."

In the following few days, Mingzhi indeed became much more restrained. There were days when he was even too lazy to borrow the Buddhist scriptures.

I stay in my room all day long. Don’t ask me what I do - I just sleep!

The abbot didn't say anything, probably because he was no longer wary of him. Jianxing couldn't hold back any longer, and while cleaning the room, he quietly asked:

"Nine, so many days have passed, have you found out anything?"

"Number Two," Mingzhi asked him indifferently, "What did you find out?"

"I didn't." Jian Xing seemed a little embarrassed and reminded him, "Don't forget, the Sect Master asked you to come and help me because he thought I was too slow in gathering intelligence!"

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Mingzhi said slowly, "The situation in Jinchan Temple is indeed strange and complicated, and it's hard to know where to start... Let me ask you, have you ever tried to break in violently? I see that the monks in the temple don't seem to have any cultivation."

"Please don't be violent." Jian Xing said depressedly, "A few years ago, there was a rebellion by monks in the temple."

"Rebellion?" Mingzhi asked in surprise, "Tell me more."

"Well, I don't know why, but a fight broke out anyway." Jian Xing answered hesitantly, "A bunch of people surrounded the main hall and wanted the host to give an explanation."

"Then what?"

"Then it exploded on the spot." Jianxing said.

wise:???

"Explode on the spot, what does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Jian Xing replied, "There is no sign of any spells or formations being activated... Of course, it may be that my cultivation is too low and I can't see it. Anyway, all the monks exploded on the spot. The ground in front of the main hall was stained red with blood and flesh. There was not a single clean spot."

"The young monks who witnessed the explosion were all ordered to keep silent. But what's even more bizarre is that about a month later, the monks who were involved in the explosion reappeared in the temple, and their words and actions were exactly the same as before they died."

"It's such an evil place. You said you want to force your way in, but it's not impossible. Just try it first and let me see. If you can really get some useful information, it will be a great contribution to our sect."

"Haha, I'm just saying." Mingzhi decisively changed the subject, "What are those monks going to preside over?"

"Give me an explanation."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know." Jianxing said, "We little monks were all watching from the sidelines. They probably didn't dare to tell us, but just shouted to the host, 'We can't wait any longer. We must give a clear explanation.'"

"That's interesting." Mingzhi thought, "After the explosion and rebirth, do they still have memories of the past?"

“Yes.” Jian Xing hesitated for a moment and replied, “Although I didn’t dare to test it, the way they looked at the host seemed to be much more awed and frightened than before... Of course, it could also be my illusion.”

Nothing is certain, everything is "possible". Your intelligence work ability is really poor. No wonder Master Luo called me over to clean up your mess!

Mingzhi was somewhat dissatisfied with Jianxing's statement, but considering that this place was indeed weird and No. 2 was just a slightly scheming child, it was normal for him to be trembling with fear and unable to move his hands and feet in danger.

By the way, what on earth is that method that can make people explode on the spot?

"It's a space earthquake." Kunlun Mirror said suddenly.
