Mu Feng grasped Li Wantian's hand, and in the next instant, the two were back in the dilapidated temple.
Even in the secluded Buddhist sanctuary, it was still night.
The eerie lanterns still hang high.
The murky puddle emitted an unpleasant odor.
Mu Feng's complexion had returned to its rosy hue, and he no longer looked so frightening in the darkness.
Li Wantian hugged Mu Feng tightly, smiling contentedly as they whispered to each other.
After a while, the two saw Shi Fang dragging a three-meter-long python back into the dilapidated temple.
Shi Fang's face wore a simple, honest smile.
"I'm back. There weren't many spirit beasts around at night, but I still found a python."
You two both had chest pains during the day, why don't you eat something nourishing together?
Shi Fang originally thought he would receive a lot of gratitude and admiring looks.
Unexpectedly, Mu Feng and Li Wantian merely glanced at the python indifferently.
Li Wantian said with a smile:
"Brother, this is just a second-grade python. It probably won't taste good, so I won't eat it."
Thank you so much, brother. Xiao Feng and I have fully recovered.
Mu Feng's cheeks were rosy, his complexion was full of vitality, and he responded:
"Well, I've fully recovered. Let's keep this python for now and roast it when we have the chance."
Let's continue our journey; there should be many more treasures hidden within this Buddhist sanctuary.
Upon hearing this, Shi Fang smiled helplessly:
"That's all we can do. I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. Let's keep going."
Shi Fang turned around and put the python into his storage bag.
When he lowered his head, the shadow of his smiling face in the moonlight appeared exceptionally terrifying.
**
Jingchan River.
It is located in a valley surrounded by mountains.
It was noon.
The abbots of the nine major Buddhist sects looked up at the water mirror.
The hosts didn't look too happy.
They looked at the abbot of Wuchan Temple, their tone full of disgust.
"How can the abbot of Jikong, who has not reformed his evil deeds, be qualified to shoulder such a great responsibility?"
"The fact that Shi Fang plotted to frame his Daoist partner is beyond despicable!"
"—This evil nature of his remains unchanged. More than ten years ago, he was just like this. Did he recite the Buddhist scriptures at Wuchan Temple?"
"Shi Fang knew perfectly well that we would use the water mirror to track his whereabouts, yet he was still so arrogant and made no attempt to hide it!"
"It's infuriating! Such a scoundrel doesn't deserve to be the leader of the Five Zen Temple!"
"Shi Fang must be expelled from the Five Zen Temple! He must never be allowed to set foot in the Buddhist community again!"
The abbots and other presiding monks were extremely angry.
Their water mirrors followed Shi Fang, seeing everything he did.
The ten directions flew into the depths of the Bodhidharma Bamboo Forest, and then saw the sky filled with Buddha's light.
The energy of the Heart Sutra, like a string of golden characters, wanders and weaves through the bamboo forest, shining brightly.
This aura can only be produced by chanting scriptures nightly in the Bamboo Grove of Bodhidharma.
They searched everywhere.
Finally, beside a secluded boulder, they found the object of their daily chanting.
It turned out to be a flock of cloud-chasing falcons.
Shi Fang smiled and locked onto the flock of Cloud Chasing Falcons.
"Since you have a karmic connection with Buddha, I will first guide you to the Western Paradise."
"Bang bang bang!"
Explosions rang out one after another.
Blood mist spread.
The drops of blood turned into rain, sprinkling onto the withered branches and fallen leaves.
With no one chanting the sutra, the wisp of the Heart Sutra of Bodhidharma became powerless and gradually fell, as if it were about to hit the ground.
This wisp of air will disappear upon landing.
Shi Fang immediately opened his mouth and began chanting Buddhist scriptures.
As the energy of the Heart Sutra rose and drew near again, he quickly opened his mouth and inhaled it.
As soon as the Heart Sutra's energy entered his mouth, Shifang immediately took out the Azure Lotus Platform.
The array carved on the Azure Lotus Platform was fully activated.
Concealment Formation, Protective Formation, Maze Formation, Counter-Attack Formation.
Layer upon layer of formations lit up one after another.
Shi Fang sat cross-legged on the green lotus and began to refine and absorb the Qi of the Heart Sutra.
In less than half a day.
The Ten Directions Mindset broke through the fourth level and entered the fifth level.
Having reached the fifth level of mental cultivation, Shi Fang is now qualified to enter the Arhat Academy.
But the elders were already somewhat dissatisfied.
They weren't demonic cultivators, so why did they kill those Cloud Chasing Falcons?
Zhuiyun Falcon was devoted to Buddhism and had been reciting scriptures for many years, accumulating great merit. Yet, he was so easily killed by Shifang.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Fang's actions once again exceeded the elders' expectations.
The persecution that Shi Fang inflicted on Li Wantian and Mu Feng was simply a perverted act!
They all agreed that there was a serious illness in the ten directions!
Moreover, he was quite ill.
He couldn't help but start cursing.
Especially just now, Shi Fang drugged that python again.
Once Mu Feng and Li Wantian eat the python meat.
In mild cases, it can cause numbness in the limbs for up to three days.
In severe cases, the body may lose consciousness for seven days.
Faced with verbal and written criticism from the abbots and other presiding monks.
Jikong, the abbot of Wuchan Temple, replied indifferently:
"Amitabha Buddha, Garuda and Mahoraga both acknowledge the status of the ten directions."
Shi Fang not only knows formations, but also how to control beasts.
For this alone, Shifang has already stood out among the disciples.
You always ridicule Shi Fang's actions, so why don't you choose one of your chief disciples who can rival him?
Upon hearing this, all the hosts fell silent.
Shi Fang's talent and hard work are truly unmatched.
At the young age of 50, he had already cultivated to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage and the fifth level of the Mind Realm.
This cultivation speed is extraordinary throughout the entire True Treasure Continent.
Moreover, Garuda is the same as Mahoraga.
These monks, who had been chanting scriptures for many years, could not gain the approval of the two great deities.
Judging by strength, Shifang is indeed the leader of the Buddhist sect of this generation.
The hosts, rendered speechless, all sighed.
"Ugh! What a mess this is!"
"I don't care anymore! I'm going to see my sect's disciples!"
"Hmph, all he has to offer is strength. His character and conduct are not even one ten-thousandth as good as my disciple's!"
Jikong twirled his prayer beads and said softly:
"Don't forget, we are a cultivation sect, not a temple for mortals. We value strength above all else."
For a moment, the room fell silent; no one spoke.
The sound of the prayer beads colliding as they were turned echoed through the valley.
**
The Star Pivot Celestial Fox Clan.
The riverbank of the royal city.
Spicy palace.
Zhao Ziyi pointed to the Star Pivot Mirror and excitedly explained:
"Look, Mu Feng and Li Wantian just disappeared from the spot."
However, the viewing position of the Star Pivot Mirror remained unchanged.
This means they're still in the same place, but they've gone to a mysterious space!
Song Chen stroked his chin and asked:
"Could this be the space you mentioned, the space of Mu Feng?"
Zhao Ziyi nodded, and he transmitted his thoughts through his mind:
"Yes, this mysterious space is the one mentioned in the original novel, 'The Peerless Prodigy of Immortal Cultivation.' It's Mu Feng's greatest cheat ability: the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm."
Song Chen transmitted his voice:
'I remember you telling me that.'
The "me" in the book lives in a secluded paradise, working until death.
Even after death, they were mummified and allowed to continue farming.
The Celestial Fox Ancestor angrily clapped his paws as he watched the two exchanging glances.
"What are you doing? Are you using telepathy to communicate? Is there anything that I, the Celestial Fox Ancestor, cannot hear!"
Zhao Ziyi looked at the Heavenly Fox Ancestor in surprise:
"Ancestor, how did you know we were using the sea of consciousness to transmit our voices?"
The Celestial Fox Ancestor stomped his foot angrily:
"The only way to whisper is through the sea of consciousness!"
Song Chen raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Ancestor, do you and Ancestor Qingluan often communicate using telepathy through your sea of consciousness?"
The Celestial Fox Ancestor raised his chin proudly and said:
"Of course, you can't fool me! I'm tired of using telepathy in my mind!"
Zhao Ziyi chuckled.
“Ancestor, this transmission of sound through the sea of consciousness can only be used between Daoist partners, and they must be Daoist partners destined to be together, who burn incense and pray to Heaven.”
You and Ancestor Qingluan are indeed a pair!
The Celestial Fox Ancestor licked his lips with a blank expression:
What are you talking about?
"Sound transmission through the sea of consciousness is quite ordinary. As long as you swear to be brothers for life, you can use it, right?"
