I'm Fighting Kou Ziling? Taking on "Old Mo" (7k)

"This is a master from the upper realm, whose Daoist name is Qingzhi."

Fu Tingxue also introduced Daoist Qingzhi and Abbot Jingchen to both sides.

Qingzhi's gaze swept over Jingchen and the others, her eyes sparkling with different emotions, clearly recognizing their respective identities.

However, compared to Old Mo, who was more accepting of the image of a young master from the Aristocratic Clan, she was clearly more accepting of Old Gang Leader Su wearing a monk's robe.

This person has mastered more than one form of the Tathagata Divine Palm and has also created the Dream Arhat Dharma Aspect. He has a very deep connection with Buddhist School, so it would be unreasonable for him not to Buddhist School.

As she glanced at the abbot, Fuhu, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The Divine Monk Wuse?

This man is indeed a monk wherever he goes; no wonder he was able to create the Kashyapa Dharma Aspect Form!

Since High Antiquity, many extraordinary talents have emerged in Buddhist School, but only the Divine Monk Wuse was able to comprehend the Kashyapa True Intention!

But the last one surprised her greatly.

"Ji Yaoyang?"

Qingzhi's eyebrows twitched involuntarily; she never expected that this person would actually become Buddhist School in this world.

Over a hundred years ago, the royal family produced a prodigy who was once astonishing and had the potential to rival the Old Wang. However, due to the royal family's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, he became a fallen genius. Even though he achieved the Dharma Aspect, he completely cut off his future path and became the "threshold" of the Dharma Aspect Realm in the eyes of the world.

Who could have imagined that another possibility for his life would be a life of quiet contemplation, observing Buddhist precepts and practicing spiritual discipline?

Unconsciously, a secret story that her senior brother had mentioned before surfaced in Daoist Qingzhi's mind.

Is it possible that Ji Yaoyang in the present world might also become Buddhist School?

That's not necessarily true. My senior brother once mentioned that the extent to which the projection on the Other Shore deviates from the original person's life trajectory depends on the distance between the two worlds and the causal connections between them. It cannot be generalized.

Generally speaking, the greater the distance, the greater the deviation.

Daoist Qingzhi couldn't help but look at Yu Tunzhou, thinking to himself, "I wonder if there's a projection of Lu Huaiqing in this world, or if there's another possibility for this kid."

After introductions, a few pleasantries helped to bridge the gap between them.

Jingchen and Fuhu were discussing something in hushed tones, while Monk Wuchen stood to the side, his eyes lowered as he twirled his prayer beads.

Yu Tunzhou then turned his gaze to Fu Tingxue, his eyes showing three parts doubt, three parts emotion, and four parts delight at seeing rare animals.

He had known Old Mo for three years and was very familiar with that lazy man. Now, seeing this other Old Mo, who was gentle, upright, and a strategist in the military, he felt very interested.

The contrast is too strong!

Fu Tingxue felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She twirled her folding fan between her fingers and finally couldn't help but ask, "Master Yu, is there something wrong with my face?"

"No." Yu Tunzhou shook his head decisively, a smile playing on his lips. "I just felt that Commander Fu had an extraordinary bearing, making me feel instantly at ease. I couldn't wait to take a picture here as a memento, to cherish it forever."

Fu Tingxue looked blank, posing for a commemorative photo?

Could this be some kind of Divine Ability or Secret Method from the upper realm?

The Yu Tunzhou and turned its head.

"Jingchen, do you have a portrait of that Mietian Demonic Monk Extinction? I want to recognize him beforehand, so I don't run into him without knowing who he is in the future."

Since Abbot Jingchen is Old Gang Leader Su and Fu Tingxue is Old Mo, then the biggest villain in this Turbid Kingdom must also be some powerful figure from the Central Plains, right?

Is it related to Buddhist School? Could it be a great master from Vajra Chan Temple or Little Thunderclap Temple?

However, neither of these two families has a Dharma Aspect expert on Heaven Ranking.

Hearing his question, Daoist Qingzhi also came over, pondering whether to tell Yu Tunzhou about the "projection" and "possibilities".

This was the result of her senior brother's pioneering efforts, and theoretically, it shouldn't be told to outsiders, but she wanted to confirm one thing from Yu Tunzhou.

"Portrait..."

Jingchen pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and lightly brushed away the mud and sand beneath his feet.

The yellow sand swirled and undulated, instantly solidifying into a lifelike face on the ground.

This face is not handsome, and there is nothing particularly outstanding about its features; it appears quite ordinary.

Yu Tunzhou gradually frowned, because the eyes of this face were blank and lifeless, making the whole face look no different from that of an ordinary passerby.

"This is the Demonic Monk Mietian." Jingchen's voice was solemn. "This person has an indescribable eeriness, especially his eyes. Even this old monk finds it difficult to describe the essence of his eyes, hence I have not added any details."

Good heavens, is this some kind of finishing touch?

Yu Tunzhou looked at Daoist Qingzhi, his meaning clear: recognize her.

The top Dharma Aspect experts on the Heaven Ranking are usually kept secret and do not have their portraits circulated like those on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. Especially at the Dharma Aspect level, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to see their true appearance.

"This is... Kou Ziling!" Daoist Qingzhi transmitted her voice secretly, with a hint of fear and certainty.

The Demonic Monk Mietian was actually the Heavenly Demon Kou Ziling?!

Yu Tunzhou suddenly paused, taken aback.

His next "task" was to fight the Demonic Monk Mietian.

I'm going to fight Kou Ziling?!

It seems... it's not entirely impossible!

His mind raced, and far from being afraid, he felt a surge of eagerness to try.

The ultimate level of this world is the External Scenery Fourth Layer, so this is not Kou Ziling at the Dharma Aspect level, but Kou Ziling at the External Scenery Fourth Layer!

He may be at a disadvantage in terms of skill level, but his opponent is unlikely to possess Kou Ziling's various Divine Ability and methods.

Why not let him have a hand?

Not to mention Kou Ziling, after this battle, he will have the opportunity to spar with Abbot Jingchen, Old Mo and others, and meet the top Dharma Aspect of the Central Plains in advance.

Standing nearby, Daoist Qingzhi noticed that Yu Tunzhou seemed inexplicably eager to try, and couldn't help but show a look of shock.

Is this guy thinking of arm wrestling with that person?

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but his senior brother had mentioned that the Old Wang, himself, and Kou Ziling had all seen the threshold to a higher realm.

She even suspected that this Demonic Monk Mietian had already been "enlightened" by Kou Ziling.

If that's the case, then the Mietian of this world has probably become an avatar of Kou Ziling, possessing all the Divine Ability powers and abilities that Kou Ziling has!

Qingzhi looked solemn. According to Fu Tingxue's previous description, Mietian had been entrenched in the Turbid Kingdom for ninety years.

Could it be that Kou Ziling attempted to invade this Buddhist kingdom ninety years ago?

"Yu Tunzhou," she suddenly spoke, "Did Lu Huaiqing mention the projection of the lower realm to you, or the ' Nine Heavens Central Theory' to you?"

Yu Tunzhou turned around and looked at him with a strange expression. "Is this a secret passed down through generations of the Nanhua Sect, or a discovery by the Supreme Sword Lord?"

Qingzhi immediately became certain that Lu Huaiqing had indeed revealed these secrets to this young man.

The latter, in particular, was the first theory proposed by Lu Huaiqing.

She said seriously, "Yu Tunzhou, has Old Mo mentioned to you his true purpose for entering Luofu Grotto-Heaven?"

What was Old Mo's true purpose in entering Luofu Grotto-Heaven?

"Yes," Yu Tunzhou glanced at Fu Tingxue and said, "Two words: become stronger."

Although his answer was extremely concise, Daoist Qingzhi still looked enlightened, as if it confirmed his own guess.

"Really..."

"He had known about the location of this Buddhist kingdom for a long time..."

"I originally thought this fellow had infiltrated the grotto for thirty years to exchange for two volumes of 'books,' but now it seems he came for the Buddhist kingdom."

"It seems he's reached that point too..."

Yu Tunzhou turned to look at Daoist Qingzhi was muttering to herself.

Did the Old Mo come for the Buddhist kingdom?

Before leaving, Old Mo mentioned that he came to Luofu Grotto-Heaven after hearing a certain rumor, hoping to meet the Martial Ancestor and gain the possibility of further advancement.

As for entering this Buddhist kingdom...

Yu Tunzhou suddenly asked Huntian, "If a Immortals and Gods enters the lower realm and finds their own projection Other Shore the other side, can they use this to find the way to a higher realm?"

Huntian gave an affirmative answer.

The most important part of this stage is the first step.

Once the first step is taken, everything else will be easier.

Unfortunately, those without a proper lineage or those who are independent Rogue Cultivator can forget about it, because after the collapse of the Heavenly Court, all the lower realms lost contact with the Central Plains.

The quickest shortcut is to use the method of Nether Passage to enter the Inner Heaven and Earth of ancient Immortals and Gods, and seek out one's own projection.

However, this step also depends entirely on luck. Not every Immortals and Gods Inner Heaven and Earth has the potential to breed countless spirits, let alone happen to contain one's own projection Other Shore the other side.

Yu Tunzhou falls into deep thought.

Where exactly did Old Mo get his information?

He made a suggestion.

If Old Mo hadn't traveled through time, he wouldn't have grasped the True Intention of Taijiquan. Would he then have remained in Luofu until this Buddhist kingdom opened up?

That's not right either. Even without me, Master Lu would still come to Luofu Grotto-Heaven and release the Martial Ancestor...

If it weren't for him, how would the Martial Ancestor have been released?

Without grasping the True Intention of Taijiquan and seeing any hope ahead, would Old Mo stop the Martial Ancestor from breaking free of his seal?

If neither of them is willing to concede to the other, and they end up forcing a fight, what will be the outcome?

As Yu Tunzhou continued to follow this line of reasoning, his heart grew increasingly heavy.

Each link is interconnected, and the source of the entire chain is one's own arrival.

His appearance can be considered the optimal solution for the final outcome of Luofu Grotto-Heaven!

Yu Tunzhou suppressed the surging thoughts in his mind and temporarily set aside the deduced path.

Meanwhile, Abbot Jingchen and the others were already discussing their next plan.

"... The Demonic Contamination isn't a major problem, but it certainly can't be completely eradicated in a short time, and we can't count on the army."

"Therefore, we have no choice but to launch a direct attack. Fortunately, we have the assistance of the various masters who have descended from the upper realm. Even though their strength is suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth and cannot be fully utilized, it is still enough to lend us a helping hand."

How long will it take to bridge the gap between us and this world?

"There are quite a few people; it will take at least three to four days."

"It's taking too long. Let's try to shorten it to within three days!"

"At that time, we old guys will join forces to hold off Mietian, while Young Hero Yu and the others will split up and attack, destroying all official temples within the Turbid Kingdom, cutting off the source of Incense and Fire Prayer Power for the Mietian Buddhist Treasure, thus stopping the Nirvana Assembly!"

"Things have come to this point, and this is the best arrangement. We should be grateful for the unexpected turn of events in Heavenly Dao, and for the many helping hands from the upper realm."

Jingchen spoke slowly, then looked at Yu Tunzhou and frankly revealed his plan, hoping that Yu Tunzhou could lend a hand.

Since Yu Tunzhou already had this intention, he naturally did not refuse.

However, he did not need to eliminate the barrier between himself and the world, so he decided to sneak into the Turbid Kingdom alone and find Dingguang before the great war broke out.

In addition, he also harbored the idea of having a preliminary showdown with Kou Ziling's projection.

The fact that this person could suppress Jingchen and others single-handedly demonstrates his extraordinary abilities, indicating that he has already reached the pinnacle of this world.

No matter how much you hear about it, nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes and trying it yourself.

Upon hearing his idea, Master Wuchen shook his head, thinking it was somewhat rash. Yu Tunzhou had underestimated that person's strength, and if he were captured, they would likely be put on the defensive.

At that point, whether to rescue or not will be a dilemma.

Although Jingchen and the others did not speak, their expressions all conveyed the same idea.

Fu Tingxue suddenly smiled, closed her folding fan, and said with great interest, "Young Hero Yu, how about we have a little sparring?"

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

This is the best arrangement.

The battle between Yu Tunzhou and Fu Tingxue allowed them to see Yu Tunzhou's strength and also gave Yu Tunzhou a clear understanding of their strength, thus making him realize the power of Mietian.

"Good!"

Yu Tunzhou agreed without hesitation, his eyes burning with desire.

"Let's stop here to avoid delaying our joint attack a few days from now," Fu Tingxue said with a smile, then rose first and headed towards a distant hilltop.

Yu Tunzhou followed, and the rest of the crowd followed from a distance, watching the battle.

Not long after, the two stood on separate hilltops.

Fu Tingxue closed her folding fan and said with a smile, "Young Hero Yu, please."

Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but sigh, finding it hard to accept that the Old Mo was so refined and gentle; he looked so much like...

Punch him!

Yu Tunzhou took a step forward, his Primordial Spirit leveraging the power of heaven and earth, breaking through the limits of the physical body, and merging with the surrounding Void.

The first level of the Pure Land allows one to sense the enemy's Qi and Blood flow, muscle contractions, and even their emotions, murderous intent, and mental fluctuations. Even without lifting an eyelid, one can predict the enemy's next move.

However, this move becomes ineffective when facing martial artists who have forged their Inner Heaven and Earth or whose cultivation of Nature Cultivation has reached the same level.

To break through the External Scenery, one must first explore the Pure Land.

Therefore, Yu Tunzhou had never used this move to deal with powerful beings from the External Scenery.

Against ordinary martial artists with Divine Ability powers, this move is even more redundant, since a single punch would be enough to kill them.

But things are different now. He was curious about the cultivation system of this world, so he first tested it with his Primordial Spirit.

"Huh?"

Fu Tingxue's eyes gleamed, realizing that she had no secrets whatsoever from Yu Tunzhou's eyes, and that he could see right through her.

"Young Hero Yu's cultivation of the Primordial Spirit is so profound? That Demonic Monk is most skilled in Primordial Spirit attacks, his methods are unpredictable and difficult to defend against, and we have all been troubled by him. With such a level of cultivation, Young Hero Yu will be much more at ease than us when we fight him."

He was deeply moved and praised it.

"I've made my move," Yu Tunzhou said directly.

He clenched his right fist, took a step forward, and seemingly unremarkablely extended his fist, but it was as fast as lightning, instantly arriving in front of Fu Tingxue!

At the same time, his mind shifted with his own, and a sense of purity and fulfillment suppressed the sharpness and aura that gradually emerged from Fu Tingxue's body.

With his momentum overwhelming him, Fu Tingxue's movements were inevitably a step slower, putting him at a disadvantage and forcing him to retreat.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure retreated swiftly like a wisp of smoke.

But Yu Tunzhou's punch showed no hesitation; in fact, it grew stronger with each passing breath, rapidly closing the distance between the Mortal Realm.

In response, Fu Tingxue withdrew her hand from the hilt of her sword, her body sank, and her Inner View transformed, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. Instantly, a biting wind howled, snow fell heavily, and the celestial phenomena changed as a result.

Yu Tunzhou seemed to have stumbled into an extremely cold world, his body covered in layers of frost and snow, the sudden chill slowing down his punches.

Fu Tingxue seized the opportunity, her body seemingly growing several times larger, and threw a punch. This punch affected the entire Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth, infusing the weight of the "world" into her fist, leaving no room for resistance.

Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but praise in his heart, "What an exquisite method of utilizing the Inner Heaven and Earth!"

Among the experts he had previously faced in the Eastern Wilderness External Scenery, none possessed such a method: without relying on Divine Ability powers, the mere connection of the Inner Heaven and Earth's energy was enough to alter the celestial phenomena and create a home-field advantage.

This is not yet Dharma Domain; it can only be considered a prototype. Fu Tingxue was clearly holding back.

At this moment, Fu Tingxue threw a punch, and his body seemed to swell several times its original size. This was an illusion caused by the connection between his Inner Heaven and Earth and the outside world, which filled the surrounding Void, making it impossible for him to dodge and leaving him with no choice but to take the punch head-on.

Yu Tunzhou exhaled and his body seemed to suddenly rise higher, like a divine mountain rising from the ground. With the imposing presence of Mount Kunlun, he delivered a punch [Ten-Thousand-Ren High Mountain]. The force of the punch was unimaginably heavy, forcefully breaking through the Void and forcing Fu Tingxue to change her move.

Having gained the upper hand in one move, Yu Tunzhou pressed his advantage, and the illusory image of the divine mountain behind him suddenly dissipated, its original heaviness transforming into a vast expanse, spreading across the surrounding Void like a surging ocean, engulfing Fu Tingxue within it.

Fu Tingxue's expression was solemn. Instead of retreating, he advanced. His Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth appeared and disappeared around him—the cold wind swirled the snow and the vast mountains and passes were covered in silver, a desolate and frigid snow scene at the border!

This is his Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth [Snow Covers the Border Mountains], which blends the Sha Qi of military formations with the chilling Sword Intent. Having been immersed in it for over a hundred years, it has long been polished to perfection.

Although he did not draw his sword, thousands of Sword Qi, like a Great Wall of ice and snow, stretched out in front of him, blocking the overwhelming and vast Fist Intent.

The next moment, the longsword was drawn with a clang.

The chilling atmosphere between heaven and earth was amplified even further.

"Young Hero Yu, I, Fu, am going all out!"

Fu Tingxue unfurled her longsword, its Sword Qi as dense as flying snow. Every move she made carried the strict discipline of a military formation, like a battle array, advancing step by step. It was not Divine Ability, yet it surpassed Divine Ability. Gradually, she seized control of the laws of the surrounding world, making it difficult for Yu Tunzhou to draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

He quickly seized the opportunity, thrusting his longsword forward. In an instant, Sword Qi split into flying snowflakes, spreading to every corner of the surrounding world.

Yu Tunzhou had already realized that the opponent's cultivation mainly focused on the Inner Heaven and Earth the human body, using this to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and to compete for and dominate the power of the surrounding Void, forming a field that was close to Dharma Domain.

Once the enemy falls into the field, it's like falling into a small world created by the opponent, where their Divine Ability are difficult to use, and even escape becomes a fantasy!

This is quite different from the pursuit of Spirit Aspect and the fusion of the Inner Heaven and Earth to form a unique Dharma Domain, yet it shares a similar essence.

Of course, there is also the flaw that the Dharma Domain does not exist.

Faced with this sword that occupied the laws of the surrounding world, Yu Tunzhou purified his mind and merged with the surrounding Void. When the mind is pure, the environment is pure. He took a step back, and it seemed as if elegant and pure white flowers of wisdom bloomed under his feet.

The Purity of the Void, and every step brings forth splendor.

Realizing that the opponent's Primordial Spirit cultivation was weak, Yu Tunzhou 'Primordial Spirit hovered high in the sky and looked down at the sword from a superior position, taking in all the mysteries of the Swordsmanship. He then calmly retreated without getting a single snowflake on him.

The expressions of the onlookers in the distance varied.

Jingchen exclaimed, "The Buddhist scriptures say that those who use their minds well will find that the fields of their minds are free from the weeds of Ignorance, and that the flowers of wisdom will bloom everywhere. This young friend seems to be quite young, yet he has such Primordial Spirit cultivation; it is truly astonishing."

Fuhu pondered for a moment and said, "Is this the cultivation system of the Upper Realm? It surpasses ours in the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit. It's a pity that many of our realm's traditions have been lost for many years..."

Daoist Qingzhi stood aside, equally moved, finally witnessing Yu Tunzhou's true strength.

How exactly did this kid cultivate?

In just a few years, his Nature Cultivation cultivation has reached the pinnacle of Pure Land, and now he is even able to merge his Primordial Spirit into this world, forming an alternative Dharma Domain!

Now, let alone merging her Primordial Spirit with the world, even projecting it beyond a few feet is extremely difficult for her; the barrier between heaven and earth is as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm.

Fu Tingxue's expression turned solemn.

He had already occupied the surrounding Void and the surrounding laws, but he never expected that Yu Tunzhou could still retreat calmly, which shocked him greatly.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the longsword. A wisp of snow flew across the clouds for miles, and a heavy snowfall descended, spreading an endless chill that further expanded the scope of his Inner Heaven and Earth.

When!

He lightly flicked his longsword, and the sword's resonance echoed far and wide, permeating the principles of law and disrupting the energy flow of Yu Tunzhou.

The next moment, he swung his sword, its sharpness forcing everything aside, severing the laws of heaven and earth, turning the world beneath his sword into a lawless place, where only his sword and his own laws remained.

Where the sharp edge shines, all things submit!

At this moment, in Yu Tunzhou's eyes, all things in heaven and earth had receded, leaving only this sword standing before him. Even Fu Tingxue's figure had melted into the Sword Intent, completely overshadowing all the sharpness in the world.

This sword strike allowed Yu Tunzhou to glimpse the ultimate cultivation system of this world.

--To divide the external Inner Heaven and Earth world!

Compared to the rudimentary form of the Dharma Aspect Realm, Fu Tingxue's method is strong in that her Inner Heaven and Earth can easily shake the outer world, and she can leverage twenty or thirty times her strength with just ten. However, it is also weak in that her Inner Heaven and Earth is exposed and easily destroyed!

Yu Tunzhou's eyes were deep and profound. Kunpeng, residing high Inner Form the boundless blue sky, saw everything. Whether it was the flow of laws and principles around him or the changes in the sword technique, everything seemed to be a fraction slower in his eyes until he found the slightest flaw in Fu Tingxue's connection between the inner and outer worlds.

Yu Tunzhou and steps forward, with a clear mind and pure spirit, the Void becomes unobstructed. Therefore, this fist strikes the eight extremes, Fist Intent heaven and earth, pervading all directions and the six realms.

Crack--

It sounded like the soft cracking of ice crystals.

The frost and snow surrounding Fu Tingxue suddenly stopped, and the Inner View illusory image shook violently.

His expression was shaken, as he felt that the opponent's punch was the Fist Intent of heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were the Fist Intent, which had severed the connection between his inner and outer worlds!

Even a single moment is enough to seal the victory!

As fist and sword clashed, the entire mountain shook violently, and Fu Tingxue's Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth froze for a moment.

In that instant of vulnerability, Yu Tunzhou's fist broke through the sword net and stopped three inches in front of his brow.

The force of the punch hit his face, making the hair at his temples fly wildly.

While this punch wouldn't seriously injure Fu Tingxue given his physique, it was enough to prove that Yu Tunzhou had accurately found his fatal weakness in the short exchange.

If Yu Tunzhou had pressed his advantage relentlessly, his Inner Heaven and Earth might have been damaged as a result.

Therefore, the outcome is already decided.

"Fu admits defeat."

Fu Tingxue took a step back, clasped her hands in a gesture of respect with her sword in her lap, and praised:

"Young Hero Yu's methods are truly extraordinary!"

Yu Tunzhou smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Old... Commander Fu didn't use all his skills either; this battle was merely a preliminary skirmish."

Fu Tingxue shook her head. "Our system is based on the inner world, yet you, young hero, were able to find the flaw in the connection between the inner and outer worlds at a glance, which gives you a significant advantage. If you really fight to the death by any means necessary, once the Inner Heaven and Earth is damaged, defeat is only a matter of time."

The secret passage where Yu Tunzhou —this is the advantage of the Dharma Domain.

The reason why powerful beings in the external External Scenery rarely directly manifest their Inner Heaven and Earth to the outside world is that although the Inner Heaven and Earth can directly shake the outer world, it is also extremely easy to be damaged, far inferior to the Dharma Domain which is born from the Inner Heaven and Earth and Spirit Aspect.

Unless there is a problem with the construction of the Dharma Domain, there are almost no flaws, and it can only be used to Dharma Domain Dharma Domain.

Even if the Dharma Domain is broken, the backlash is far less than the damage to the Inner Heaven and Earth; it just takes some time to recover.

Seeing that the battle was over, the people who had been watching from afar rushed forward.

Jingchen clasped his hands together and praised, "Benefactor Yu's path seems to be the path of my heart being heaven and earth. The foundation of this path is even higher than our division of heaven and earth, and it is even more similar to the Mietian."

The monk Wuchen nodded slightly, only solemnly advising, "Even so, I hope Benefactor Yu will be careful in everything. That Demonic Monk is cunning and unpredictable; do not underestimate him. Your own safety should be your priority."

"Thank you all for the reminders," Yu Tunzhou said, bowing slightly.

With the war over, everyone returned to the central command, and the tone of the meeting was finally set.

Before leaving, Daoist Qingzhi secretly reminded Yu Tunzhou that if Kou Ziling had already enlightened the clone of this world, then the one in the Turbid Kingdom should be directly regarded as Kou Ziling's clone!

After Yu Tunzhou thanked them, he did not return to Little Formless Temple with the others.

When the night was deepest, he quietly and alone stepped back into the territory of the Turbid Kingdom.

It hadn't been long since he left, but this time, as he re-entered the country, Yu Tunzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks in the streets of a small border town.

The night was deep, the long street was deserted, and not a single soldier was to be seen on patrol. Yet, a feeling of being watched clung to him like a bone-deep ailment, impossible to shake off, making him extremely uncomfortable.

His Primordial Spirit probed his surroundings, and suddenly his heart sank as he finally understood where this feeling of being spied on came from.

As he walked along the streets, countless fixed gazes were fixed on him from behind windows and through cracks in doors of every household.

Those citizens of the Turbid Kingdom stood motionless in the darkness, like silent stone statues, quietly watching him, the outsider, through a layer of paper window and Daoist School.

He stood in the middle of the long street, his aura completely concealed. Not to mention ordinary people, even those with Divine Ability or those who had just entered the External Scenery would not be able to sense his presence.

But those gazes remain.

With a thought, he vanished from his spot, traversing half the small town.

But as soon as he landed, that lingering sense of being watched quickly returned.

As his Primordial Spirit swept across the surrounding houses, countless gazes silently fell upon him.

This strange situation made Yu Tunzhou frown.

It seems something has its eye on him.

That Demonic Monk Mietian?

Yu Tunzhou suddenly looked in the direction of the temple in the city.

It's that... Buddha statue!
