The Old Monk Could Find No Road to Heaven, and a True Sage Hurried Down to the Mortal World [Another Two-in-One]

"This is bad! The heavens and earth have discovered me!"

Old Monk's face changed drastically, but his first instinct was not to protect himself. Instead, he reached for the Kasaya slipping away!

Within the Kasaya, Buddha Light swelled and shrank unpredictably. The shadows of seven Buddhas wavered, entangled in countless strands of Myriad Manifestation Thought.

From that Myriad Manifestation Thought burst the three karmic acts and three poisons, giving rise to the Four Demons and Six Thieves!

One glance was enough to set Old Monk's mind racing and throw his Buddha Thought into chaos!

"How vicious!"

"Excessive Evil Thought is poison, of course. But when compassion goes too far, isn't that poison too?" Chen Cuo shook his head with a smile and walked through the air toward Old Monk and the Kasaya.

As he moved, riotous colors surged across the Kasaya.

All around them, the power of heaven and earth suddenly intensified!

"Pfft!"

Old Monk spat blood again!

He could spare no thought for anything else. Raising a hand, he slashed open the flesh of his wrist.

From the gaping wound, blood flecked with gold gushed out, carrying Old Monk's cultivation, vital essence, and spirit with it.

That blood held the essence of his entire being. If an ordinary person obtained it, drinking it could prolong their life. If a cultivator obtained it, they might even refine it into pills that increased their cultivation, provided they knew how!

As the blood drained away, Old Monk's presence plummeted. In an instant, he fell from Beyond the Mundane to Return to Truth, and he was still falling.

His eyes, once gleaming and shooting golden light, swiftly dimmed. The air of age about him showed itself without concealment.

"Decisive indeed!"

Even Chen Cuo could not help admiring the sight, though he knew it
