Empty-Existence Nunnery

Is this not enough?

Su Che looked at the Yin-Yang Dharma King, wondering what this man was up to.

These High Antiquity remnants, some of the most prominent figures in the world, have come all the way to Jiankang City to find a girl. Even if I pretend there's nothing wrong with this, no one will believe me.

"Oh, right, there's something I need to tell you."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King slowly pointed to the sky.

"Your Jiankang City is quite interesting; it has a very powerful array set up there."

A very powerful formation?

"I can't guess the specific origins, but at least I can Heaven-Hearing Earth-Seeing."

You mean to say...

"Void Transposition, such a grand spectacle, someone might come to take a look."

Jiankang City was the foundation of the Southern Dynasty, so it was only natural that it had various defenses in place.

However, Su Che was not worried.

"With you here, even if the entire Censorate were to mobilize, they would likely suffer a crushing defeat."

"Don't say that. Although I am confined to one place, I have never dared to underestimate the heroes of the world. Take the Jiankang City God, for example, who is known as the number one person in the Divine Path of this realm. The Censorate is also full of hidden talents."

What the Yin-Yang Dharma King said next almost made Third Young Master Su vomit blood.

"Besides, my current level is probably only between the Eighth Grade and Ninth Grade. If anything happens, I'll still have to trouble you."

calm.

Su Che exhaled a breath of stale air.

"It's alright, shall we go to another one?"

"Let's go to another one."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King nodded in satisfaction.

The two then continued their journey.

The Qinhuai River at night is ablaze with lights, and the bustling crowds exude boundless prosperity.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King looked at Su Che.

"Someone is watching us."

Su Che looked around suspiciously, but saw no sign of anyone watching him.

"He's not here. Didn't I tell you? There's a formation here; the people watching us should be over there."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King pointed in the direction of the Jiankang Palace.

Even with his keen senses, Su Che didn't detect anything unusual.

"It's just ahead."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King suddenly frowned. He didn't know what he had sensed, but he took a big step forward.

Su Che caught up with him in a few quick steps.

One thing is certain: the Yin-Yang Dharma King before us is indeed in a state of utter exhaustion, his soul adrift and his life force nearly depleted.

"Arrive."

The two of them wandered through countless streets and alleys, and even Su Che was dizzy from all the twists and turns, until they finally arrived at an alley.

"Senior, this doesn't seem to be a brothel."

Su Che looked at the house in front of him and felt something was off.

This is a nunnery.

Although the Buddhist community in the Southern Dynasty declined rapidly after the National Preceptor Lion Azure Lotus Perfected Tathagata, went astray halfway through his term at the end of the previous dynasty, the Buddhist School in the Southern Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse.

Even a centipede, though dead, does not fall down easily. How much less so a giant in the Buddhist School spiritual world?

You can still find traces of it in the streets and alleys.

This nunnery in front of us is a trace of the prosperity of Buddhist School in the past.

There hangs a sign that reads "Empty-Existence Nunnery" in the middle of a residential building. Su Che once read in historical records that at the end of the previous dynasty, Buddhist School flourished, and many high-ranking officials and nobles donated their residences to become temples.

It means donating one's own house to be used as a temple. The Empty-Existence Nunnery in front of us should be the residence donated by some noble person during the previous dynasty. You can still vaguely see the original layout from the outside.

"Isn't it a brothel?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King shook his head. "Then it's not a brothel."

As he spoke, he walked through the tightly closed gates of Empty-Existence Nunnery and barged inside.

Ghosts are formless yet have substance; passing through walls and houses is a matter of moments.

Su Che shook his head, and with a light leap, he flashed into the nunnery.

"Careful."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King stood at the door of the wooden house.

"Hey you, you over there, go and say hello to that guy."

Su Che looked up.

Behind the gate of the temple stands a tall and imposing Vajra statue, entirely black, with six arms and three faces, holding various Law Artifact in its hands. It stands on a multitude of statues of evil spirits, posing in a ferocious manner.

If it were merely an exquisite and lifelike sculpture, it would simply be a testament to the craftsmen's superb skills. But this Vajra statue, with its eyes wide open in fury and its piercing gaze fixed on Su Che, clearly appears to have come to life.

Su Che frowned slightly and slowly took a step forward.

A flame suddenly formed three feet in front of him, no bigger than a fist, but it shot towards him fiercely, heading straight for his face.

Su Che Immovability, standing as tall as Mount Tai, his hands silently forming a hand seal at his chest.

A large, jet-black hand, wreathed in eerie blue flames, appeared behind him and scooped the flames into its palm.

The flame in his palm was icy cold; with just a slight touch, Su Che's soul could feel the sobs mingling within it.

Go, you Ninth Nether Soul-Burning.

The dark blue flames expanded, engulfing the ball of fire within them.

The Ninth Nether Soul-Burning Yinflame was fierce and domineering; it immediately extinguished the flames with fire, extinguishing the wisps of fire.

It's really strange and eerie.

Su Che sensed the changes within the flames and found a familiar feeling.

Wasn't that the raging Karmic Fire burning in the Hell Path that I saw in the Azure Emperor's Treasure Garden the same kind of smell?

Lightning flashed in Su Che's eyes.

It was after he entered the Sixth Grade that the Secret Register of the Yin Heaven of Zhoujue underwent a change, which became known as Lightning-Cleft Thunder Eyes.

With this Divine Ability, one can observe the changes of Yin-Yang, the arising and ceasing of thunder, and anticipate the enemy's moves.

The Secret Register of the Yin Heaven of Zhoujue is based on Mystic Talisman and can be considered part of the Mystic Gate Talismanic Arts lineage, but in the end it still falls under the category of methods for Spirit Preservation.

The so-called "Spirit Preservation" means visualizing one's own spirit, Spirit Transformation, and possessing immeasurable Divine Ability.

This Lightning-Cleft Thunder Eyes is the Secret Method of the Celestial Marshal of the Northern Pole Tianpeng for subduing ghosts and demons.

Lightning flashed in Su Che's eyes, and he indeed noticed something amiss.

The Vajra statue before us is nothing more than an Putong clay or wooden puppet on the outside, but its interior holds a completely different world.

Beneath the layers of clothing, something seemed to be slowly wriggling and leaping inside him.

"What a fiend! Behold my Secret Soul-Swaying Arrow!"

Nine dark brown arrows appeared behind Su Che, and the Profound Bow reappeared in his hand.

"Wait a minute..."

Before the Yin-Yang Dharma King could finish his sentence, Su Che had already drawn his bow to its fullest extent and sent his arrow flying like a shooting star.

A long, dark brown arrow shot out, shattering the Vajra statue in front of them into a pile of fragments.

"Sigh, these young people nowadays, why Immovability to shout for war? You, Mengzhang's grand-disciple, do indeed have some of his former flair..."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King then went on and on.

A human figure slowly emerged from inside the broken Vajra statue.

Su Che had never seen anything so wicked and vile.

It seems they threw someone into a pot of oil and fried them until they were burnt, then put them back in the pot and boiled them over a high flame for three days.

It was barely recognizable as a human figure, no taller than a person's leg, but covered in charred and swollen marks.

It crawled out from the fragments of the statue, stretched out, and began to expand from the middle outwards.

It's as if its left and right legs had different wills and decided to separate and live independently; this thing is getting further and further off track.

Finally, it tore itself in two, and then each part began to grow, making up for the lost body. Before long, there were two identical evil creatures standing there.

"Sigh, they put this thing at the door just to trick you into taking a taxi."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King took out a Yellow Talisman from his sleeve and slowly stuck it on the ground.

"This thing is what Buddhist School calls one of the Hellspawn. It's already an inanimate object, so no matter how you kill it, you can't eradicate it completely. It lives on Karmic Force; the more you kill it, the more Karmic Force accumulates, and the more of it there are. Whether it's useful or not is another matter, but it's certainly disgusting enough."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King stood up and gently patted Su Che on the shoulder.

Let's go.

As soon as the Yellow Talisman entered the ground, the small courtyard in front of them immediately turned into a swamp. In an instant, two waves of mud rolled and swallowed the two Hellspawn whole.
