The abbot of Shaolin Temple was originally Kong Wen, but he was suppressed by the demonic cultivator Han Guang, known as the "Demon Master." Han Guang took Kong Wen's place and has been in charge of Shaolin for more than ten years.
Now that the general outline of the "Buddha's Palm" has been revealed, how could Shaolin, a major Buddhist temple, remain indifferent?
To ensure his identity remains hidden, Han Guang will inevitably leave Shaolin and head to the Vast Ocean to search for the General Outline.
Cao Ya also knew that Han Guang was not only a magician of the real world, but also the Heavenly Emperor of the reincarnation organization "Myth".
In this great upheaval in the Vast Ocean, the "Myth" organization will surely flock to it.
Information about the two reincarnation organizations, "Myth" and "Fairy Trace," has gradually spread.
Of course, people were unaware that this was a reincarnation organization; they all assumed it was a secret organization with grand schemes.
The general outline of the Tathagata Palm technique...
Suddenly, Cao Ya sighed.
[Peerless Supreme] In the universe, there are two supreme divine skills, unparalleled throughout history, suppressing all other divine skills and unique techniques.
Those are the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying passed down by the Daoist Master and the Tathagata Palm passed down by the Buddha.
These are the only two transcendent beings in the universe, the "Supreme One in a Lifetime".
Of course, the Daoist master is truly transcendent, while the Buddha is only halfway to transcendence.
Even if it's just half a step, it's still a step ahead of those on the other side.
The techniques of those on the other shore cannot compare to these two divine skills.
Therefore, the allure of "Buddha's Palm" is beyond imagination, captivating all martial arts practitioners in the world.
People also understand that in the vast ocean, a battle of Dharma bodies will inevitably break out in order to seize the general outline of the "Buddha's Palm"!
With such extraordinary skills appearing in the world, how many Dharma bodies can remain steadfast?
Too little! Too little!
Ordinary martial artists went to the Vast Sea with a sliver of hope.
What if?
Throughout history, there have been many instances of those with little strength gaining opportunities, some even begging for alms hundreds of miles away, never participating in the competition for treasures. Yet, the treasures themselves concealed themselves, hiding and concealing themselves along the way, eventually leaping into the alms bowl on their own initiative, leaving everyone stunned.
Cao Ya wasn't in a hurry to set out. He first consolidated his cultivation and familiarized himself with his power before embarking on his journey to the Vast Sea.
The news of the emergence of the general outline of "Buddha's Palm" was spread by the Wang family of Jiangdong. The precious Luoshu shone brightly, and Buddha's light also appeared in the vast sea, from the Fish Sea to the Tanhan area.
The powerful beings of the Wang clan, having exhausted their efforts, finally calculated the news of the general outline's appearance in the world and spread it throughout the land without reservation.
Many people were confused, but that didn't stop them from heading to the sea of fish.
Cao Ya knew that all of the Jiangdong Wang family's schemes were aimed at breaking the curse.
But this was destined to be in vain.

Fish Sea.
Cao Ya concealed his aura and flew into this place. He saw countless martial artists coming and going, mostly dressed as sand warriors, carrying swords and blades, and exuding a fierce aura.
The atmosphere at the fish farm was very strange.
The entire fish sea resembled the surface of the sea before a storm, seemingly calm but actually oppressive. Powerful figures from the outer realms flew overhead, some carrying short swords with ice crystals and snowflakes inlaid on the back of their hands, others wearing monk robes different from those of the Central Plains...
"The treasure is truly captivating..."
Cao Ya sighed softly, then chuckled. Didn't he also have greedy thoughts when he came to this place?
In this realm, he cultivated the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill" and attained the Dharma Body of the Immovable King, making him a true Buddhist immortal.
The Shaolin Temple was founded by Bodhidharma, who obtained a move called "Buddha's Palm" and thus attained enlightenment.
The ultimate principles of the Divine Palm technique hold immense appeal for Buddhists.
Although I know I can't obtain the complete secrets of the Divine Palm Technique, I can still glean some insights and understand the path ahead, so there is still hope.
In the original story, the one who ultimately obtained the ultimate secrets of the Divine Palm was a master of great supernatural powers.
Regardless, we must try to obtain that supreme divine palm technique; even if we cannot obtain it, we should at least take a look at it and try to comprehend it.
"Um?"
Cao Ya's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the desert.
Amidst swirling sandstorms, the vast desert stretches for hundreds of miles, devoid of human habitation. In the desolate expanse, several figures emerge one after another.
Those people were wearing special masks, the very attire of the members of the "Immortal Traces" that had gone viral.
"A miracle"...
Cao Ya laughed, "What a coincidence!"
He released a wisp of aura, like a celestial river, like a sea of stars, which instantly startled the people on the ground, who all looked up and gazed at the sky.
Whew~~
Cao Ya pressed down and fled.
"Master Xuanjie?!" The man wearing the Yuanshi Tianzun mask exclaimed in surprise, seemingly realizing something was wrong, and quickly stopped speaking, but it was too late.
"Really? You're actually 'Yuanshi Tianzun'? You're really bold." Cao Ya said, feigning surprise.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable of the "Immortal Traces" organization is Meng Qi.
Meng Qi was the one truly chosen by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
Zhen Ding was Meng Qi's Buddhist name when he was at Shaolin Temple.
Meng Qi took off his mask and gave an awkward smile.
Meng Qi glanced at his Uncle-Master Xuanjie, his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed:
"Uncle-Master Xuanjie, you have attained the Dharma Body?"
The people next to him—Lingbao Tianzun, Taiyi Zhenren, and Bixia Yuanjun—who also belonged to the "Immortal Traces" organization, all took off their masks and looked at Cao Ya in surprise.
"Dharmakaya? It hasn't been that long." Bixia Yuanjun was shocked and incredulous.
Bixia Yuanjun was none other than Qu Jiuniang. They had met once before, and Cao Ya had given her guidance, in which she reported relevant information to the "Lingbao Tianzun" Daoist Chonghe.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuanjie." Daoist Chonghe is not only the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable of "Immortal Traces," but also the second most famous person on the "Heavenly Ranking" in the real world—the True Immortal Chuyang!
The Real World's "Heavenly Ranking" only includes those at the Dharma Body Realm.
As the oldest living Dharma Master, the name of "True Immortal of the First Sun" Chonghe Daoist is known to all under heaven. He has stabilized the situation on several occasions when crises were about to occur. For example, he joined forces with Master Lu to resist the invasion of the grasslands. He also repelled several invasions by demon kings. In the last instance, he and Master Lu defended Yunxiao Mountain to the death. The two of them and their two swords blocked three great demons, including the Peacock Demon King, until reinforcements arrived, which turned the tide of the battle in favor of humanity.
The Demon King is the Dharma Body.
The conflict between humans and demons has a long history. In ancient times, demons wreaked havoc on the land, and humans were reduced to food. It was not until the Human Emperor forged a sword on the Dragon Platform that he rose against the tide, swept away the world, and finally curbed the rampage of the demons.
The rivalry between the Human Emperor and the Demon Saint, these two beings from the other side, spanned a very long period of time.
In the end, humanity prevailed.
Therefore, the demon race is hostile to humans and often carries out bloody massacres.
For humankind, the Daoist Chonghe is someone who has made great contributions.
He was highly respected and admired by the world.
Cao Ya also showed respect, put his hands together, and chanted Buddhist mantras.
Cao Ya also recognized the last Taiyi Zhenren; he was Yan Wuwo, the leader of the Jiangzuo Zombie Fist, known as the "Flying Yaksha," and a top-ranking expert on the Earth Ranking.
Su Wuming, the Heavenly Sword Master who is half a step into the Dharma Body and is listed as a master of outdoor scenery in the Earth Ranking, has dominated the top spot for many years.
Meanwhile, Xuanjie of Shaolin Temple had only recently entered the "Earthly Ranking" when he attained the Dharma Body...
To be honest, among the four immortals, Daoist Chonghe was the oldest, most knowledgeable, and most composed. But the other three, Meng Qi, Qu Jiuniang, and even Yan Wuwo, were all extremely shocked.
