Seven days later.
"Hoo—"
Qi Fei let out a long breath.
He had originally planned to read at the foxes' place first and make up for his lack of knowledge.
He hadn't expected to get so engrossed before he knew it.
The wisdom of the Buddhas of Two Worlds had indeed shed some light on one another.
If he set aside the power shared by the other Qi Feis and the nourishment provided by his Human Immortal body, then judging by his state of mind alone, he could probably pass the Fourth Lightning Tribulation, or even the Fifth.
At this stage, a Ghost Immortal's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a standard early-stage Human Immortal.
And with the power of his soul added in, Qi Fei was confident he could pass two more Lightning Tribulations.
That was already a considerable gain.
But it wasn't the greatest benefit.
The greatest benefit came from the collision between the two Buddhas' ideas and his experience absorbing insights into various laws.
Qi Fei had glimpsed, faintly, a way to turn insights from other worlds to use in this one.
If he delved further into Buddhism, it might even be possible to discover a universal method in the Buddhist scriptures.
But a universal method guided by Buddhism wasn't what Qi Fei wanted.
Drawing nourishment from all the worlds and forging his own path—that was the great road to heaven that belonged to the Qi Feis.
Devoting himself to Buddhist studies would instead lead him astray.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
A faint, mysterious fragrance drifted in with it. Its sweet scent was pleasing, inspiring goodwill in anyone who smelled it.
It was probably the demon immortal Consort Yuan.
Consort Yuan practiced the Human Fragrance Scroll, the teachings of the Fragrance-Scenting Sect.
