Several years earlier.
Inside the Temple of All Living Beings Without Form.
Outside the Dust-Cleansing Pool.
"Greetings, Great Dharma King!"
Moluoshi pressed his palms together and bowed respectfully, looking toward the Great Dharma King Jiumoluo Jie before him.
Jiumoluo Jie's voice was extraordinarily calm. "Sangji's Dust-Cleansing Karmic Affinity Divine Ability has been difficult to cultivate. It must be entangled in profound Causality. Even with the Dust-Cleansing Pool, it is hard to wash away..."
A sharp gleam burst from Moluoshi's eyes.
He was already at the middle stage of the Purple Mansion and had cultivated the White Bone Visualization and Dust-Cleansing Karmic Affinity, two Divine Abilities. Yet before the second Divine Ability was completed, even he had not known its crucial mysteries!
Clearly, this was the foundation of the Temple of the Source of All Dharmas... From the progress of various cultivation methods, even to subtle differences in their manifestations, they could discern one's roots and distinctions...
"Originally, Sangji had been in seclusion for many years and still could not become a Dharma King. We suspected that his fortune was shallow, so we deliberately tested him using the Corpse Yin Sect's Profound Lord's Ritual Corpse-Congealing True-Form Edict. In the end, nothing abnormal was found. He was also an important chess piece in the Esoteric Monks' Eastern Crossing, so we temporarily set the matter aside..."
"Now it seemed that his fortune was not too shallow, but too deep..."
Jiumoluo Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing all manner of venomous and cruel expressions. "Go make the arrangements first... Whether Sangji succeeds or fails, seize him and turn him into an Attendant sacrifice for the Lord of the Charnel Forest!"
"And declare the White Bone Way traitors to the path... Deal with them all at once!"
Moluoshi wore the same cruel smile...
Suddenly!
Rumble!
