He no longer wanted to think about the space artifact that Chu Nian had taken him to travel through time, and quickly changed the subject, steering the conversation back to Kong Yuan, whom he considered unimportant, saying, "Your cheap master, the old nun Kong Yuan, before the Buddha's travels, said that if he wanted her to give up her obsessions and not develop inner demons, something truly shocking would have to happen to her."
"A shocking change enough for her?" Chu Nian murmured. "You tell me, Wu Nian betrayed her sect and joined your Demon Mountain. Isn't that a shocking change enough for her?"
Even after this happened, Kong Yuan didn't give up her obsession; on the contrary, it made her obsession with the original owner even deeper.
Lin Jingting pondered for a moment and said, "Although this matter has shocked Kong Yuan to some extent, it probably cannot be considered 'shocking enough'."
Shocking enough? Chu Nian recalled the original owner's memories and felt that throughout the original owner's life, there probably wasn't anything that could shock Master Kongyuan enough.
However, after recalling the original owner's memories, Chu Nian began to search for the plot. As expected, after the original owner's death, Kong Yuan developed a demonic possession, just as Tathagata had predicted, and became mentally unstable.
The female protagonist of this book is named Situ Yue. Initially, she had no connection with Emei and was just a cultivator in a small Taoist sect. During her training, she encountered the madman Kong Yuan, who mistook her for his disciple Wu Nian and relentlessly pursued her, even passing on many powerful Buddhist mental techniques and spells to her.
Chu Nian now understands why she didn't receive the plot when she first transmigrated, but only received it when she consciously looked it up. It turns out that the original owner died before the plot even started.
She and the Demon Lord Yuan Gu are only "heard of" by the characters in this book; they have never actually appeared in the plot.
Therefore, the female lead would appear several hundred years later. Chu Nian felt that relying on the plot and the female lead to resolve Kong Yuan's inner demons was unlikely; she needed to think of another way.
Lin Jingting said, "You seem to care quite a bit about Kong Yuan, your cheap master."
Chu Nian wondered: Why does this guy's tone sound so sour?
She sighed and said, "We've both been masters, so I can understand her to some extent. When you become a master and take on disciples someday, you'll probably understand what I'm thinking now."
Lin Jingting gave an awkward "Oh." He couldn't really understand Chu Nian's feelings, but he was thinking about Kong Yuan's obsession with his disciple Wu Nian, and wondered if Chu Nian, as the master, was just as obsessive with his disciple.
So his mood improved, and he no longer wanted to dwell on Chu Nian's feelings for Kong Yuan.
Chu Nian's concern about Kong Yuan's obsession stemmed from her desire to prevent Lin Jingting from being harassed by him in the future. However, she wouldn't say this aloud, lest that brat Lin Jingting get cocky!
She asked, "Jingting, is there something you need this time?"
Lin Jingting: "Can't you come and see my master if there's nothing wrong?"
Chu Nian had no choice but to change the subject, saying, "I've read many scriptures on Mount Ling, and Buddha also gave me quite a few. Recently, I've come to understand some of the Dharma. Why don't we discuss them together?"
Lin Jingting happily replied, "Great!"
Chu Nian and he were discussing the laws of spacetime. Chu Nian hadn't gained much insight into this area before; but perhaps the Path of Ruthlessness really suited her, so this time she actually gained a lot of insight into the laws of spacetime.
Previously, she only had some understanding of the laws of space, but now she has also had several epiphanies about time, and she feels that the cultivation of her soul is rising rapidly.
That's probably not entirely accurate. In fact, she always felt that her soul contained immense power, but it had been hidden away for some reason.
Her rapidly increasing cultivation level is due to the release of this energy because of her sudden enlightenment.
Therefore, Chu Nian didn't feel much about the comprehension of the laws of spacetime or the increase in his cultivation; Lin Jingting, on the other hand, felt that he had benefited greatly, and after discussing with Chu Nian for a month or so, he still felt that there was still more to discuss.
Late one night, the alarm bell in the nunnery suddenly rang, startling all the nuns who were practicing meditation, who rushed out of their meditation rooms.
Lin Jingting had already slipped into his spatial artifact. Chu Nian, like the other nuns, came out of the meditation room to see what was going on.
"Sect Leader, Uncle Kongyuan, Uncle Lanjing, this disciple just discovered a demon appearing in the mountain hollow on the west side of the temple." Wu Ning reported in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow, her expression remaining unchanged. If a demon had truly appeared, she and Lin Jingting would have been able to detect it with their heightened senses. She was quite certain that Wu Ning was lying.
However, the mountain hollow that Wu Ning mentioned did indeed have surging demonic energy, and it was extremely powerful, beyond the ability of ordinary disciples to detect. As a member of the "Wu" generation, although Wu Ning was a junior to the three Mahayana Venerables—the Sect Leader, Kong Yuan, and Lan Jing—he was currently the strongest member of the "Wu" generation within Qingyun Temple.
She has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and will soon be able to transform into a Deity. The Qingyun Nunnery is currently facing a shortage of capable leaders, as there is no Deity Transformation expert available. They are waiting for her to take over the position.
In fact, the original owner was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before she was crippled, and her cultivation time was several hundred years shorter than Wu Ning's. Otherwise, why would Kong Yuan have placed such high hopes on her? It's a pity.
When Wu Ning said that demons had appeared in the western ravine, almost no one doubted it. The three Mahayana experts immediately soared into the sky and arrived at the western ravine. There was indeed demonic energy surging there, but they didn't find any demons; instead, the entire ravine was filled with demonic energy.
The three Mahayana experts exchanged surprised and solemn glances: with their combined abilities, they were unable to penetrate the demonic energy to uncover the details within the mountain pass.
In this world, only a handful of highly skilled individuals in the Immortal Realm can shield themselves from the spiritual sense probes of these three Mahayana-level powerhouses. As for such highly skilled individuals among the Demon Race—ha!
The sect leader and Lan Jing both unconsciously turned to look at Kong Yuan—they both thought of the same person: Demon Lord Yuan Gu.
This is the only powerful demon who has any connection with Qingyun Temple.
Kong Yuan's brows furrowed involuntarily. To be honest, she also thought of the ancient times. The other party might be after her disciple.
She then coldly transmitted her voice into the mountain hollow enveloped in magical energy, calling out, "Ancient Times, is that you?"
"Master, there's no need to shout anymore, it's not ancient times." Chu Nian's voice rang out behind them, startling the three of them who all turned around to look.
They were all shocked to see Chu Nian standing in the air.
Kong Yuan asked in astonishment, "Wu Nian, your cultivation..."
Chu Nian could only lie: "Master, please forgive me for keeping this from you all this time. When I was in Lingshan, I received medicine from Buddha Tathagata. Soon after returning to Emei, my cultivation had recovered. Not only did I recover, but I also broke through to a higher level..."
The sect leader, realizing he couldn't even gauge her cultivation level, couldn't help but interrupt her, asking, "You said you've broken through? What's your cultivation level now?"
