Why did you actually believe it?

After bidding farewell to Elder Jing Zhen and leaving the External Affairs Hall, Jiang Chuan returned to his loft and could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart.

"Jiang Chuan, how do you plan to complete this task?"

"I don't know," Jiang Chuan replied.

Jing Hui: ???

Jiang Chuan patted Jing Hui's shoulder.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Senior Brother, trust me, it's just an old cat. I'll sort her out with a little thought."

After speaking, Jiang Chuan went up to the second floor, leaving a bewildered Jing Hui behind.

Jiang Chuan truly didn't take the ancestor of the cat demon tribe to heart.

Although in his simulations, he was either in seclusion or chasing immortal maidens at this time, he still knew a little about the Bodhi Temple.

In the end, Stone Lotus Ridge was covered by a palace.

From the outcome, it indicated that the old cat had compromised.

Jiang Chuan didn't know what the process of the simulated world was like, nor who had completed the task, but since others could complete it, Jiang Chuan felt he should be able to as well.

Therefore, he accepted the mission.

Splash!

Jiang Chuan took out the Earth Milk and took a big gulp.

The milky white Earth Milk, like white jade, was crystal clear and bright.

As the Earth Milk entered his mouth, a refreshing fragrance permeated Jiang Chuan's entire body, making him feel comfortable all over.

"Gather! Refine!"

Jiang Chuan uttered two words softly. His formless and shapeless spiritual energy, like a ball of flame, refined the Earth Milk, injecting its medicinal power into every inch of Jiang Chuan's flesh and blood, helping him cultivate the Supreme Yang Limitless Body.

Hot!

So hot!

Jiang Chuan felt as if he were in a furnace, his body constantly being tempered by the medicinal power transformed from the Earth Milk.

His bright yellow monk's robe was already soaked with sweat, and large beads of sweat continued to pour out of his pores.

Gulp!

Gulp!

Every time the medicinal power was almost fully refined, Jiang Chuan would pick up the Earth Milk again and drink it in large gulps.

When the entire jar of Earth Milk was consumed, Jiang Chuan seemed to have undergone a transformation.

His strong and powerful body was filled with a sense of might, as if every one of his muscles was forged like a vajra through countless trials.

Feeling the immense power within his body, Jiang Chuan's face broke into a smile.

"Earth Milk is indeed a treasure worth twelve thousand Spirit Stones. A jar of Earth Milk not only helped me break through to the Second Realm, Ninth Layer, but also helped me cultivate the Supreme Yang Limitless Body."

"The Supreme Yang Limitless Body is truly a cultivation technique comparable to the core inheritances of major powers! Even just cultivating the early stage of the Supreme Yang realm has increased my blood qi and strength several times over."

"My current strength is even a notch higher than my peak in the simulations!"

What Jiang Chuan said, if it were to spread, would be enough to cause a huge commotion in the Warrior Monk Institute!

To break through to the Fourth Realm, cultivators must use their blood qi as paper and their spiritual energy as ink to draw an Inner Scenery Map.

A minimum of thirty thousand jin of blood qi is required to meet the minimum requirement for drawing the Inner Scenery Map.

Many peak Third Realm cultivators need to purchase treasures and temper their physical bodies to strengthen their blood qi.

And what was Jiang Chuan's realm?

There was a gap of nine minor realms between the Second Realm, Ninth Layer, and the Third Realm, Ninth Layer!

Feeling the hunger in his stomach, Jiang Chuan got up and walked out of the room, preparing to get something to eat.

"Junior Brother, if you didn't come down soon, I was about to check if you had died."

Seeing Jiang Chuan come downstairs, Jing Hui said with surprise.

Jiang Chuan: "..."

How could he say that!

He wished he would die!

"Senior Brother, how long did I cultivate?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Seven days."

"Seven days?"

Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback, then he sighed, "As expected, time flies when you're in the mountains."

In Jiang Chuan's perception, he was immersed in the transformation of his body and the growth of his strength during his seclusion, and it felt like not much time had passed.

Seven days had actually passed in reality.

"By the way, junior brother, when are we leaving for Stone Lotus Ridge?" Jing Hui asked.

Jiang Chuan patted his stomach. "Senior brother, get me something to eat. We'll leave right after I finish."

Jing Hui immediately cooked Jiang Chuan a pot of white corn porridge.

Looking at the unchanging white corn porridge, Jiang Chuan's face filled with disgust. He gritted his teeth and downed it in one gulp.

"Junior brother, if you don't want to drink porridge, I can make you something else next time?"

"Make what?"

"White corn rice."

"."

Stone Lotus Ridge was located a thousand miles east of the Warrior Monk Institute.

The ridge was verdant and lush, covered in ancient, flourishing trees. A silver waterfall cascaded from the peak, resembling a silver ribbon winding around the mountainside, making Stone Lotus Ridge appear even more majestic.

Jiang Chuan controlled the Flame Sun Needle and, carrying Jing Hui, flew to a palace on the summit of Stone Lotus Ridge.

The palace was somewhat old, its walls covered in the mottled marks left by time.

Cat demons of various sizes were sprawled all over the palace.

"Meow!"

As soon as Jiang Chuan and Jing Hui landed, a chubby orange cat got up from the ground and slowly walked towards them.

"One spirit fish per person, and I'll introduce two suitable partners to you both."

"We're not here to ask for cats," Jiang Chuan shook his head.

To supply the disciples with food, Bodhi Temple cultivated vast fields of White Jade Rice.

Many mouse demons often took the opportunity while Bodhi Temple disciples were cultivating to sneakily nibble on the White Jade Rice.

To deal with the mouse demons, many disciples responsible for growing the rice would specifically come to Stone Lotus Peak to ask a spirit cat to help catch the mice.

This was known as asking for a cat.

"Meow! Then what are you here for?" The orange cat squatted on the ground, looking at the two of them quizzically.

Jiang Chuan took out a mission token from his storage bag.

"I am Jiang Chuan, and this is my senior brother Jing Hui. We accepted a mission from the External Affairs Hall and have specifically come to seek an audience with Ancestor Ziyun."

"So that's what you're here for."

The orange cat turned and walked towards the palace. "Let me be clear, whether I introduce you or not depends on the Ancestor's mood. I can't guarantee anything."

After the orange cat entered the palace, Jing Hui asked, "Junior brother, what do we do if Ancestor Ziyun refuses to see us?"

"I believe Ancestor Ziyun will definitely see us," Jiang Chuan raised his voice.

Jing Hui looked puzzled. "Ancestor Ziyun doesn't even give the elders face. How can you be so sure he'll see the two of us?"

Jiang Chuan retorted, "What is Bodhi Temple's purpose in hosting the Nine Abyss Dynasty?"

"To strengthen Buddhism and resist the immortal path," Jing Hui blurted out without hesitation.

The conflict between the Buddhist and immortal paths was no secret in the Qingyuan Realm.

It wasn't the first day they had clashed and fought each other.

"Yes, to strengthen Buddhism and resist the immortal path."

Jiang Chuan nodded. "To achieve this goal, the Three Buddhist Dao Sects didn't hesitate to offend Maha Hall, one of the Nine Outer Sects, and even went to war with them."

"Ancestor Ziyun, being a member of our Bodhi Temple, naturally wouldn't undermine this endeavor."

"Then why did the elders try to persuade Ancestor Ziyun before, but he wouldn't listen?" Jing Hui's confusion deepened.

"Stone Lotus Ridge is the Ancestor's Cave Mansion. The elders are powerful, and coming to find the Ancestor would somewhat involve exerting pressure.

Jiang Chuan explained, "It's normal for Ancestor Ziyun to disagree. The elders also realized this, which is why they posted the mission in the External Affairs Hall, allowing us disciples to come forward and discuss matters with the Ancestor."

Jing Hui looked impressed. "So that's how it is. Junior brother, you truly live up to the title of Buddha Son; you are so intelligent."

Jiang Chuan: "."

Senior brother, I said all that to fool Ancestor Ziyun inside. How could you actually believe it?
