In the end, Wang Wen easily won yet another bet with the Spirit Grain.

The Tathagata did not know his exact age, but he could clearly perceive that his lifespan had increased by one-tenth.

This is a chilling feeling that's hard to ignore when you think about it.

A life form that is clearly immortal can still have its lifespan extended.

What number is larger than infinity?

Or perhaps immortality doesn't actually mean infinity?

Wang Wen pondered this question and left Thunderclap Temple without looking back.

Behind him, the Buddha slumped back onto his lotus throne, Tathagata dejected.

Even the golden light emanating from the Buddha's image dimmed considerably.

He gazed in the direction Wang Wen had left, his expression a complex mix of shock, confusion, relief, and loneliness.

Finally, all of this vanished in a state of bewilderment, and the speaker addressed the countless Buddhas, saying, "Everyone, I may have been wrong."

The Buddhas were alarmed. "How could the Tathagata be wrong?"

The Tathagata did not reply further.

He actually stepped down from the lotus platform step by step.

The closer they got to the ground, the more determined their gaze became.

The moment he finally stepped onto the ground, his towering golden body shrank and merged into his body. As if he had suddenly attained enlightenment, his face glowed with a rosy light, and his eyes became clear and bright, no longer clouded.

The Tathagata's level of spiritual cultivation.

Incredibly, he made another slight improvement despite the odds being against him!

Three thousand Buddhas chanted in unison, loudly congratulating the Tathagata reaching even greater heights.

Tathagata, the Buddha did not show much joy.

He glanced back at the gods and Buddhas inside Thunderclap Temple.

He silently walked out the door and left.

The Buddhas hurriedly flew after him, only to be astonished to find that the Tathagata's figure had already vanished.

Eastern Victory Divine Continent.

This is the only native continent that has retained its original appearance.

It was Wang Wen who deliberately expended energy to restore Monkey Brother to his original state.

Wang Wen asked the other team members to stay in the sky and keep Supreme Lord Lao as riddle solvers.

He went down to the human world to play with the Monkey Brother.

To be precise, it was a backup plan he activated Tathagata discovering that Tathagata was not powerful enough to fulfill the role of a spirit that could contend with Human Face.

Commonly known as "Pulei Bi".

The specific content is as follows: Since there is no suitable spirit to confront head-on, let's try negotiating with leverage.

After all, while the behavior of Human Face recognition technology has been disheartening so far, it has ultimately only been about "embezzling" energy.

The other party once stated that it would take only 300 " Wang Wen " to restore his memory.

Wang Wen wanted to see if she could start the conversation from this angle.

Of course, the prerequisite is to first expand and strengthen one's own capabilities before having the confidence to do so.

Currently, he only has 5.5 units of energy equivalent to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, which is equivalent to 55 units needed for Human Face.

At the current recovery speed of the Foundation Establishment stage, doing nothing but sightseeing, eating, drinking, and sleeping for a day can restore 2 units. If one focuses on cultivation to recover, it can be even faster, restoring approximately 7 units.

Wang Wen's goal was to test whether she could actually steal a 1:365 time difference from the ground while her teammates were "time-pressing" in the air.

He was too lazy to use his internal energy to recover, and simply wandered around the Eastern Continent.

If the mood strikes, practice the Heavenly Gang Technique a few times to improve your cultivation and see if you can advance further beyond the Foundation Establishment stage.

From a long-term perspective, it is wiser to spend time cultivating the Heavenly Gang Technique to increase one's cultivation level than to use the Spirit Recovery Technique to restore energy.

Therefore, Wang Wen is occasionally able to calm down and practice her skills.

However, to avoid being too bored, he chose to cultivate at Monkey Brother's Flower-Fruit Mountain, so that he could chat with Monkey Brother from time to time and it wouldn't feel so dull.

Just then, as he and Monkey Brother were eating fruit and chatting, a fat monk dressed in a simple robe came to Wang Wen's side.

Looking at the menacing Monkey King and Wang Wen, who was leisurely eating fruit and ignoring him.

Tathagata Buddha spoke, as if talking to himself, asking, "Does the 'Heaven Beyond Heaven' that you and Laozi spoke of truly exist?"

Wang Wen shrugged noncommittally, picked a rosy fruit from the fruit plate, took a bite, and her face wrinkled from the sourness.

The Tathagata smiled enigmatically.

Looking up at the sky, he said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this world is just a large cage, and that we, who consider ourselves transcendent gods and Buddhas, are actually just ignorant lives imprisoned in that cage, even less than ants."

Wang Wen said casually, "It doesn't matter, it's not important anymore. Do you want some fruit?"

He offered the Tathagata the ripe, red fruit that had made his face wrinkle from the sourness.

The Tathagata gazed at the beautifully colored fruit and pondered for a moment.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

With a hint of pleading, she said to Wang Wen, "You have a way to take me to see the outer heavens, right?"

Wang Wen saw that he wasn't falling for it.

Silently withdrawing her hand, she casually replied, "Once you become a spirit, you can come out with me."

The Tathagata nodded. "Then please let me become the spirit of the artifact. No matter what, I want to see the outer heavens."

Wang Wen frowned as she looked at him.

For a long while.

He shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, I initially asked you to be the spirit of a weapon so that you could deal with a troublesome guy. But after several tests, I confirmed that your strength is insufficient to defeat him. And I can't use any other spare precious items to carry you, so there's nothing I can do. Forget about it."

"Just stick to your original plan." The Tathagata's gaze was resolute. "I will defeat that one."

Wang Wen shook her head with a smile, "Don't be cocky. That guy is very powerful. No matter if you're immortal, you'll die if you lose."

The Tathagata walked to the edge of a flat cliff.

Looking around.

In the distance, the continuous canopy of trees forms an undulating green carpet.

Birds flitted among the leaves, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

With a single flap, they would burst forth from the branches and leaves in droves, chasing each other into the sky, before disappearing into another emerald green carpet.

The Tathagata the clouds on the horizon changed shape uncontrollably under the sway of the wind.

He said to Wang Wen, "Last time you asked me if I was willing to die for the common people, I lied, because the instinctive tremor at the thought of death made me back down. But now you've proven the existence of the outer world with a tiny grain of rice. The thought that such a beautiful world is just a prison, the fear of the unknown far outweighs the fear of death. I think, if I were to live in this great terror forever, it would be better to die!"

He turned around, looking directly into Wang Wen's eyes. "So, at least let me try, okay?"

Wang Wen looked at the Tathagata, who had already lowered his posture to an infinite degree.

I thought about it for a long time.

Tathagata the earnest gaze of the Buddha.

He shook his head again. "My relationship with that guy is very delicate right now. Once we fuse with the spirit, it'll be like officially breaking off all ties. If I lose, I'll be in a very difficult situation."

"Even if I were certain of victory, I would hesitate, let alone someone like you with almost no hope of winning." Wang Wen looked at Tathagata with a complicated expression and said, "I don't want to take the risk."

The Tathagata's eyes dimmed.

He inhaled and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more.

In the end, all he could do was sigh.

Raising their heads to look up at the sky, they resembled a young child facing the unknown with worry and fear.

He did not continue to plead, and walked step by step toward the mountain path.

Looking Tathagata the somewhat lonely figure of Buddha, Wang Wen felt a pang of sympathy.

It's rare to find a living being so willing to become a spirit of an artifact and so fearless of death.

But as mentioned earlier, it had already fused with the artifact spirit several times before, only to be easily destroyed by the Human Face.

The relationship between the two sides is currently delicate, and forcibly fusing the spirit artifacts would be tantamount to declaring war.

It would be very embarrassing if they couldn't win in one battle. Someone like Human Face, who can defy the rules, might do something if provoked.

What if the Scepter is completely Destruction and can never be used again?

Wang Wen still needs to rely on the Scepter; he dares not gamble.

Just then...

The aircraft suddenly swooped over.

As the scanning light fell, the Scepter appeared before Wang Wen on its own, and Human Face emerged from within it, first glancing expressionlessly Tathagata the back of Buddha.

He then snorted at Wang Wen, "That's wise of you. Ten more of these kinds of people wouldn't make a difference. I'm speaking to you politely: I won't offend others unless they offend me. I only care about power. Peaceful coexistence is better for everyone."

"Yeah?"

It wasn't Wang Wen who spoke.

Instead, it was Monkey Brother King, who had remained silent beside Wang Wen.

The Monkey Brother pointed his finger at the Human Face.

The solitary figure of Tathagata, walking in the distance, suddenly scratched his head and tumbled back, shouting happily halfway, "Did Old Sun act like him?"

The Human Face floating above the Scepter looked at the expressionless Wang Wen, and then saw a dazzling golden light emanating from the finger pointing at her, a light that filled her with dread.

His expression finally changed.

They were eager to pay for the return of the items to the aircraft themselves.

Wang Wen swiftly pulled the flying vehicle over and kicked it away with a powerful kick. Looking expressionlessly at the face, Human Face said, "I don't want to take risks. The fusion device and the Spirit Advancement Scepter are on your territory, so it's true we can't see the odds of winning. But what if we fight outside?"

In the azure sky, the empty air suddenly trembled, revealing a series of spirited deities and Buddhas.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals.

Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

Nine Luminaries, Ten Palaces, and Four Heavenly Kings.

Supreme Lord Lao )

Three thousand Buddhas.

Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Vajras.

They all appeared in the air.

Everyone was chanting and casting spells in unison.

The power of this land and sky is so concentrated for the first time in history.

The Human Face tried to hide inside the Scepter, but found that the golden light had stopped the space around it, leaving it completely immobile.

Wang Wen proactively explained, "Let me introduce you. The Tathagata Divine Finger, which could even stop a black tornado, coincidentally is also a power capable of defying the rules, and its power increases with the number of people involved. Do you remember?"

The Human Face horrified. "Impossible! I saw everything you did. When did you set up this trap?!"

Thank you [Ghost Slayer Duan Yun] for your huge reward!!! Thank you [Tiandi Jiajie] for your huge reward!!!
