Surprise!

"Take charge? What are you, anyway? Are you worthy of me taking charge for you?"

Abbot Kong Ming instinctively wanted to blurt it out, but the many elders within Bodhi Temple stopped him with their gazes.

Buddhism also had methods to condense a Dharma body using the power of faith.

As long as they could cooperate with the Nine Abyss Dynasty, the older generation of Bodhi Temple would see their strength surge over time.

If they could then seize the opportunities that were about to emerge in the Nine Abyss Dynasty, the Three Buddhist Dao Sects would have hope of standing alongside the Immortal and Demonic Dao.

At this moment, if they ruined this cooperation because of a moment of impulsive speech.

The elders within the temple would be the first to disagree!

The Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens came to Li Chanyu's side and inspected her injuries.

"Chanyu, all three Dantians have suffered varying degrees of damage, and your origin has also been severely impacted. If not treated properly, you will die within three years."

The Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens looked at Abbot Kong Ming.

"Although Chanyu had her reasons for acting, her offense does not warrant death. Daoist Kong Ming, have Jiang Chuan go to the Dan Ding Sect to request a Heavenly Grade High-Rank Wood Emperor Vitality Pill to heal Chanyu's injuries. Let this matter be put aside, what do you say?"

Qu Changhe and the other surviving cultivators of the Maha Hall, upon hearing the Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens' words, were all somewhat moved.

Requesting a pill from the Dan Ding Sect? If you want me dead, just say so! Jiang Chuan grumbled inwardly.

From Ji Yuansheng's attitude towards him, it wasn't difficult to see that the Maha Hall truly wanted him, the contractor of the Great Sun Divine Bell, dead!

The day after he left Bodhi Temple.

This time next year, Jing Hui could come to pay respects at his grave.

"Jiang Chuan, for the great cause of the temple, you will have to endure some hardship. Later, I will grant you an opportunity to compensate you."

Immediately, Abbot Kong Ming's voice sounded in Jiang Chuan's mind.

An opportunity?

Can I refuse this opportunity?

Before Jiang Chuan could refuse, Abbot Kong Ming's voice sounded again.

"Let's do it this way. Jing Zhen, Jing Yun, you will escort Jiang Chuan to the Dan Ding Sect to request the pill."

"As the Abbot commands!"

Elder Jing Zhen and Elder Jingyun spoke in unison.

Looking at Elder Jing Zhen and Elder Jingyun, Jiang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With the protection of the two elders, it should be enough to survive the pursuit from the Maha Hall.

With everything settled, Abbot Kong Ming had his junior brother, Elder Kong You, escort the Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens and the others to rest.

Before leaving, Li Yuejiao gave Jiang Chuan a deep look.

Noticing Li Yuejiao's gaze, Jiang Chuan raised his eyes to look at her.

Their eyes met, and feeling the coldness in Li Yuejiao's eyes, a surging killing intent, like a river bursting its banks, welled up in Jiang Chuan's heart.

Jiang Chuan's forehead veins bulged, and his fists clenched.

"Bitch! I will definitely kill you!"

Sensing the killing intent in Jiang Chuan's eyes, Li Yuejiao sneered.

It was as if she was saying, First, try to survive the pursuit from the Maha Hall.

After Li Yuejiao left with the Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens, Abbot Kong Ming's expression turned displeased.

"If it weren't for the cooperation with the Nine Abyss Dynasty, I really should have smashed this little girl with one punch."

Jing Hui: "."

It seems reasonable for the Immortal Dao to group us with the Demonic Dao and call us demonic outsiders.

After all, what kind of monks are constantly fighting?

"Consider it a whetstone for you. Jiang Chuan, when you return from Bamboo Immortal Island, find an opportunity to kill this little girl."

Hearing Abbot Kong Ming's words, Jiang Chuan looked confused.

"Abbot, wasn't I going to the Dan Ding Sect?"

Abbot Kong Ming shot Jiang Chuan a glare: "You brat are truly as stupid as can be."

Jiang Chuan: "."

Don't think you can just scold people because you're the Abbot.

Just you wait until I can beat you!

"That old bastard, the Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens, deliberately sent you to the Dan Ding Sect with ill intentions."

Abbot Kong Ming explained: "But out of consideration for the cooperation with the Nine Abyss Dynasty, I agreed to save him face. After leaving Bodhi Temple, Jing Yun and Jing Zhen will escort you to Bamboo Immortal Island."

"You will cultivate on Bamboo Immortal Island for a period of time, and then return with Jing Yun and Jing Zhen after these guys from the Nine Abyss Dynasty have left."

As he spoke, Abbot Kong Ming reached out his hand towards Elder Kong Bei.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

"I promised to give Jiang Chuan an opportunity, and the Bamboo Immortal Token you have is perfect."

Elder Kong Bei: ???

Can you not be so shameless?

You promised Jiang Chuan, and you're using my treasure?

"The Bamboo Immortal Token!"

Jiang Chuan was extremely excited. He hadn't expected the opportunity Abbot Kong Ming mentioned to be the Bamboo Immortal Token.

The Bamboo Immortal Token was a token given by Bamboo Immortal Island to cultivators who had rendered great service to the island. With the Bamboo Immortal Token, one could enter the place where the Sword Immortal practiced his sword arts in the past and comprehend the Sword Immortal's swordsmanship and sword intent.

Elder Jingyun and Elder Jing Zhen both revealed envious expressions.

To comprehend the Sword Immortal's swordsmanship and sword intent was a great opportunity, not just for Jiang Chuan, but even for cultivators in the Eighth Realm or Ninth Realm!

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat Abbot Kong Ming to death and take his place as abbot, Elder Kong Bei took out a bamboo slip about three inches long.

The bamboo slip was entirely green, as if meticulously carved from fine jade, crystal clear and translucent.

A stroke-like immortal character was engraved on the bamboo slip.

This added a vibrant immortal aura to the bamboo slip.

"Jiang Chuan, when you reach Bamboo Immortal Island, diligently comprehend the Sword Immortal's swordsmanship. Do not let down the cultivation that Abbot and I have bestowed upon you."

Jiang Chuan respectfully accepted the Bamboo Immortal Token: "Jiang Chuan will definitely not let down the elders and the abbot's cultivation."

Looking at the Bamboo Immortal Token in his hand, Jiang Chuan's thoughts raced.

"I wonder what kind of sword techniques and swordsmanship the Sword Immortal left behind?"

"Let's set off soon." Abbot Kong Ming urged.

A small boat, the size of a palm, flew out from Elder Jingyun's sleeve and continued to expand.

In the blink of an eye, a two-story, thirty-foot-long flying boat appeared before Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan nodded, then picked up the storage bags of Ji Yuansheng and the dozen or so deceased Maha Hall disciples, and then boarded the flying boat with Elder Jingyun and Elder Jing Zhen.

"Junior brother, you must be careful!" Jing Hui said reluctantly.

Jiang Chuan waved goodbye.

"I understand, senior brother."

Then, under Jing Hui's watchful gaze, the flying boat turned into a stream of light and shot into the sky.

Watching the departing flying boat, Jing Hui felt an inexplicable sense of unease surge within him.

He vaguely felt that Jiang Chuan's departure this time might be a one-way trip.

"Master, will Junior Brother be alright?"

Elder Kong Bei replied, "With Jing Zhen and Jing Yun protecting him, he will be fine. Jiang Chuan will be back in a few months."

Afterward, Elder Kong Bei reminded Jing Hui to cultivate diligently before leaving with Abbot Kong Ming.

Jing Hui hesitated for a moment, then headed towards Stone Lotus Ridge.

Jiang Chuan, now resting in the flying boat's cabin, began to inspect his spoils.

Clatter!

The moment he opened Ji Yuansheng's storage bag, the treasures that greeted his eyes made Jiang Chuan slightly stunned.

The next moment, a phoenix the size of a palm was taken out of the storage bag by Jiang Chuan.

The phoenix seemed to be carved from multi-colored crystal, emitting a five-colored radiance. Its wings were spread, as if about to soar into the heavens.

It looks!

It looks so lifelike!

Jiang Chuan recalled the groove on the main door of Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave mansion and looked at the phoenix in his hand with surprise.

"Could this be the key to Dragon Transformation Venerable's cave mansion?!"

Jiang Chuan stared intently at the phoenix with its wings spread in his hand, muttering to himself, "To know if it is, I just need to simulate it."

[Ding! Simulation begins. Randomly matching a romantic simulation partner for the host.]

[Ding! Match successful.]

[The romantic partner matched for this simulation is Bai Mengqiu from Myriad Wood Dao Palace.]
