"Master Jiekong, why don't you take it from here?"
Ren Yunzong turned to Master Jiekong.
Master Jiekong pressed his palms together before speaking. "Once the Golden Cicada Temple and Yun Ge Sect have moved back to Muyun Prefecture, I intend to enter the Life and Death Pass. I hope to return to the Tribulation Crossing stage before Demon God Xuantianjun descends, so I can prepare for the battle to come."
"I've never doubted what you're capable of, Senior. With people like you and the sect master in the Cultivation World, it's as though we have anchors holding steady against the sea. Is there anything I can do to help with your seclusion? If you need Top-grade Spirit Crystals, I've saved up quite a few over the years."
Su Shi'er's expression turned solemn as he spoke.
The respect in his eyes was plain as he looked at the man before him.
Among the Daoist cultivators of the Cultivation World, some were righteous and some were wicked.
The same was true of the Buddhist Sect's Buddhas. On the path of cultivating the heart, one careless step could lead down a road of evil.
He had met Miaofa Tathagata and Master Jiekong only a handful of times, but the character they had shown had earned his heartfelt respect.
If their places were reversed, he knew he could never do what they had done.
The Cultivation World was full of petty scheming and struggles for power.
Yet it also had cultivators like Xiao Wujian of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect and Miaofa Tathagata.
That was why humanity had stood untoppled among the myriad races of this vast cosmos for millions of years.
At Su Shi'er's question, Master Jiekong gently shook his head.
"I appreciate your kindness, young friend, but I lack no cultivation resources."
