In the heart of the Central Plains, south of the Zhang River.
Hidden among the mountains is a wild temple whose owner is unknown.
The deity enshrined in the temple is a clay tiger with a ferocious face and is very popular.
Half a month ago, Buddha Face finally escaped here by traveling all the way with the statues and scrolls scattered around.
Thanks to the offerings from the villagers in the surrounding area, he was able to finally stabilize his body which was about to collapse.
But that’s all.
Most of the power he brought into this world was used to lay out his plans in Wuzhen, but now it disappeared completely as if it had been bitten by a dog.
The remaining small part was used by him to repair and strengthen Min Zimo's body.
Now, all efforts have been in vain.
The little bit that is left is needed to maintain its own existence.
Now, He can only survive by relying on the power of the Lordless Will, and He no longer has the ability to develop and control new believers.
The night was as dark as ink, and the Tiger Temple fell into silence. Even the only temple keeper went down the mountain to have fun.
At this moment, the clay statue of the tiger suddenly trembled slightly.
A strange Buddha face with soft features and a compassionate expression emerged from between the tiger's brows.
No emotion could be seen on his face, which was as cold as stone.
He floated quietly like that for a long time before he finally made up his mind.
The beautiful mouth opened slightly, and spit out a crystal clear blood bead that looked like a ruby.
If Min Zimo were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this blood bead was the one that had previously merged into his body and made his strength soar.
Gu Jinzhi had previously speculated that Min Zimo's increased strength and the evil worship in the village were just dream illusions woven by the Great Dream Bodhisattva.
But the appearance of this blood bead proves that at least a part of it really exists!
The Buddha's face stared at the blood beads, and for the first time, struggle and hesitation appeared on his cold face.
But soon, this emotion was replaced by determination.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to recite an ancient, obscure syllable filled with distorted rhythm.
As He chanted, the blood beads began to tremble and twist violently.
Tiny blood bubbles kept appearing on its surface, then quickly bursting, emitting wisps of evil energy.
A quarter of an hour later.
The bead, which was almost torn into a wisp of blood mist, suddenly recondensed and returned to a perfect sphere.
But the scarlet color became deeper and deeper, like a solidified abyss.
The chanting stopped and the wild sacrifice returned to silence.
At this moment, the Buddha's face was extremely illusory, as if it would disappear with a gust of wind.
When the newly formed blood bead saw this scene, it suddenly moved and circled around the Buddha's face several times at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp laugh that ordinary people could not hear echoed in the Tiger Temple.
"Hehehe! Bodhisattva, I haven't seen you for a while. How did you become like this?"
Blood Pearl's voice was wild and unrestrained, with undisguised mockery and gloating.
The Buddha's face remained indifferent, still maintaining that compassionate expression.
Not until his form stabilized and the illusion faded did he slowly speak in an ethereal voice.
"Blood Ancestor, I need your help."
"Huh?" The Blood Pearl was a little surprised by his bluntness and couldn't help but fly around twice more. "Hey, Da Meng, where's that arrogance you showed when you stole my True Blood?"
Buddha Face remained unmoved and repeated, "Blood Ancestor, I need your help."
Xuezhu was silent for a moment, and his smile faded a little.
"I can help you, but what's in it for me?"
"Enough blood food." Buddha-face answered without hesitation.
"Heh," Blood Pearl sneered, "Do I look like a fool? This world is half real, half fake. Do you think I can't sense it?"
"I heard that you've been plotting to obtain the Kunlun Mirror fragments for years... How come, a Spiritual Disciple, you've gotten yourself into trouble here?"
"Da Meng, don't try to fool me. The blood food in this world is worthless..."
Buddha Face was silent for a moment, then offered another offer: "After this is accomplished, I can give you thirty-three of the ninety-nine mirror worlds connected by this fragment."
Blood Pearl sneered: "Pfft, Dameng, are you confused from sleep? I'm not you, what's the point of having these worlds?"
The eternal expression of compassion on the Buddha's face finally showed a trace of fluctuation.
After a moment of silence, he gave up the initiative: "Blood Ancestor, you can state your conditions."
"I am just a drop of real blood. How can I have the qualifications to make conditions on my behalf?" The Blood Pearl's tone became extremely relaxed.
At this point, Buddha's face finally cracked a little, "Blood Ancestor, put away your little tricks!"
"You are you, every drop of blood is you!"
"State your conditions!"
"Remember, my patience is limited!"
The blood bead shook violently, as if weighing the pros and cons.
He knew that he could take advantage of the other person with words, but if he really angered the other person, he would suffer the consequences.
If he could win, would his true blood be in Dameng's hands?
"I want to eat Yunsheng. How about you help me?" Xuezhu asked tentatively.
The Buddha's facial features were instantly covered with cracks: "Change..."
The blood drop bounced twice in the air weakly.
"So, you want to achieve enlightenment through the mirror worlds... When you succeed and transform all ninety-nine mirror worlds into real Buddha lands, give me thirty-three of them and I'll feast on them as much as I want. How do you do that?"
This time, the Buddha's face was silent for a very long time.
Inside the Tiger Temple, there was once again a dead silence.
The blood bead did not rush, but just hovered quietly in front of the Buddha's face, patiently waiting for his answer.
