It had been a long time since I had entered the Kunlun Sacred Land, and everything here remained unchanged.

The Kunlun Sacred Land does not have distinct seasons. Outside the Sacred Land, the cold wind blows, while Sacred Land it is warm like spring, with vegetation evergreen, flowers blooming and bearing fruit year-round.

"Stay close to me and don't move around. Even if you see someone, don't panic!"

Zhang Xuezhou flicked his Heavenly Robe, and the Sacred Land mark flashed and disappeared. The Heavenly Robe's markings prevented the Kunlun Sacred Land's formation from identifying him as an outsider.

Zhang Xuezhou gave a word of advice to the Buddha Son Shigong was clinging tightly to his back, feeling that no holy son from any other Sacred Land was as unlucky as him, having to go in and out of his own holy Sacred Land in such a way.

He was caught by the Buddha Son Shigong at this moment and could not shake Buddha Son Shigong off, so he had no choice but to lead the way.

This differed somewhat from Zhang Xuezhou's previous estimate, but Zhang Xuezhou did not panic. Whenever he saw a good treasure, the Buddha Son Shigong would not follow him but would choose to take the treasure first.

"Please make sure you lead the right way, and don't run into any powerful figures from the Kunlun Sacred Land," said the Buddha Son Shigong, slightly nervous. "Some of the powerful figures here are good-natured, but others were ruthless killers back in the day, ready to take lives at the slightest provocation. They won't give us a chance to escape!"

"Don't worry, I won't risk my life," Zhang Xuezhou assured him, patting his chest.

"Pound gently, don't make a sound!"

After entering the Kunlun Sacred Land, Zhang Xuezhou acted as if he were back home, moving around with extreme ease.

Following closely behind Zhang Xuezhou, the Buddha Son Shigong didn't encounter any illusionary formations, which made him both excited and worried.

The excitement stemmed from Zhang Xuezhou retracing his steps, making everything seem simple and straightforward. The worry, however, lay in the fear that Zhang Xuezhou might have stumbled upon some powerful expert from the Heavenly Court.

"Don't worry, many of them don't seem to be able to see us," Zhang Xuezhou said. "It'll be very easy for us to move around!"

"How could they not see us? What kind of logic is that!"

"Just stay close to me!"

Zhang Xuezhou twisted his neck and struggled for a moment.

If it weren't for the Buddha Son Shigong holding him back, his Heavenly Robe would have reverted to their original white gauze style.

As long as he wears the top-grade Heavenly Robe of the Kunlun Sacred Land, no one will show him any malice.

"This is Kunlun Ruins, over there is the Wondrous Dharma Palace, over there is the Jade Pool Palace, over there should be the Jade Pool Palace, over there is Master's royal palace, over there is the brewery, over there is the elixir-making workshop, over there is the scripture pavilion, over there is the orchard..."

Zhang Xuezhou had previously resided in the Wondrous Dharma Palace and had not seen the full panorama of the Kunlun Sacred Land, but after Ren Anran transformed into human form and visited Western Kunlun, the Emperor guided her and introduced her to this Sacred Land.

Ren Anran's cartography skills far surpassed Cai Ma's; if time were not limited, Ren Anran could have almost created a 3D map for Zhang Xuezhou.

Even so, the map that Ren Anran drew for Zhang Xuezhou was more than enough.

Zhang Xuezhou pondered how to shake off Buddha Son Shigong, where he should go, and how to minimize clashes with unfamiliar masters.

"That's right, Zhenyuan the Great God should recognize me. And since his place is an orchard, it won't involve anything important!"

Zhang Xuezhou wandered through the desolate Kunlun Ruins for a while before finding the Sacred Land Shuttle Device.

The Kunlun Sacred Land is not a single area as ordinary people imagine, but rather comprises several areas, each of which can be used as a separate secret realm. These secret realms are accessible only through a shuttle device.

Zhang Xuezhou decided where he wanted to go, and then stood on the shuttle device and kept exploring.

"Dongfang Shuo, are you sure you can handle this? This kind of thing isn't something we can just use casually, is it?"

Following behind Zhang Xuezhou, the Buddha Son Shigong traversed areas he had never seen before, and he felt that he had not caused the slightest disturbance to the formation.

But seeing Zhang Xuezhou fiddling around aimlessly, he couldn't help but feel tense.

A normal, skilled person wouldn't just grope around like that. Buddha Son Shigong, after all, a member of the Western Sect, and the Western Sect also has a time-travel device, but using a time-travel device isn't something Zhang Xuezhou would do by groping around like that.

"Don't worry, as long as I find the right way to activate it, I can take you flying," Zhang Xuezhou said, turning around.

"But you can't just randomly touch the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches transfer chart like that. You have to use the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to rotate them to the correct positions to achieve the transfer!"

"I won't touch it!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied sullenly.

Ren Anran Ren Anran a map, but she didn't draw the way the Emperor and the others traveled by teleportation on it.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou had followed the Emperor to the Wondrous Dharma Palace, Zhang Xuezhou hadn't seen clearly what was happening. He only felt the Emperor flick his sleeve, and he was instantly transported to another place.

"Hold on tight!"

At this point, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't distinguish the positions represented by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, so he had to try them one by one, since if he made a mistake, he could just try again.

Let's go!

Zhang Xuezhou let out a shout, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Shifting Plate was turned by him. A faint radiance immediately covered his body and then spread to the Buddha Son Shigong.

"We're going to get our precious baby!"

Buddha Son Shigong exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected Zhang Xuezhou to actually activate the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Transfer Disk and bring him inside again.

Normally, without sufficient authorization, outsiders cannot activate this array-traversing device.

He was both surprised and delighted, feeling as if a moment of enlightenment had arrived in his life.

After a moment of discomfort in his head, when the Buddha Son Shigong opened his eyes again, he saw a palace in the distance.

"Don't wander off, let me look around a bit more!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't understand where the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches shifting plate would turn, but he recognized the palace in the distance.

He had gone to the wrong place, so he skipped the investigation and started moving to another location.

"Shall we search this area?" the Buddha Son Shigong whispered.

"I haven't been here before," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Let's start by searching a more familiar area!"

"That makes sense!"

After thinking for a moment, Buddha Son Shigong did not object, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to explore the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches transfer disk on the shuttle device once again.

The light flashed again, Buddha Son Shigong saw a large lake not far away. Above the lake, a gray-bodied, four-legged monster was stirring up trouble, accompanied by the constant croaking of huge frogs.

"Don't panic, stay calm, don't make a sound!"

The shuttle device led them into the Wondrous Dharma Palace. In the distance, Sha Li glanced at Zhang Xuezhou at the entrance. The croaking of the Golden Toad Dharma King stopped, and Zhang Xuezhou quickly restarted the device.

"Dongfang Shuo, I feel like we've been discovered; they've spotted us!"

"Don't panic, let's stay calm!"

As the voice faded, ripples appeared in the space at the entrance of the Wondrous Dharma Palace, and the figure vanished once more.

Sha Li shook his head on the lake surface and looked at the Golden Toad Dharma King, whose head was half-exposed in the water.

"It seems the young master has returned?" Sha Li said.

"The Holy Son has returned?"

The Golden Toad Dharma King exclaimed in surprise.

Having been suppressed and admonished by the Emperor, he now showed no regard for elders and even lowered his own status.

He swayed his demonic body in the water, then transformed into a human form and stood above the lake.

When Sha Li swayed, he transformed into a burly man with fluffy black hair and an ugly blue face, standing on the waves.

"Your transformation is so ugly. Adjust your appearance again, lest you frighten the Holy Son," the Golden Toad Dharma King exclaimed.

"Didn't you say that the fiercer you are in battle, the more frightening you are? Why are you saying that I look ugly now? I transformed according to your instructions!" Sha Li asked, puzzled.

"Going to battle and seeing your master are two different things. Your master is not your enemy, so there's no need to treat him fiercely!"

The Golden Toad Dharma King offered a defense, then widened his eyes and looked around, trying to find Zhang Xuezhou's whereabouts.

His observations in the water were not as thorough as Sha Li's, but the Golden Toad Dharma King knew very well that Sha Li would not lie.

Several years later, his adopted son finally returned to the Wondrous Dharma Palace.

The Golden Toad Dharma King was confined to the Wondrous Dharma Palace by the Emperor. He knew very well that he could not leave, but seeing an acquaintance in a place where he rarely saw a third party for several years was still a happy thing.

He happily looked back for a while, but couldn't figure out where Zhang Xuezhou had gone.

But once Zhang Xuezhou arrives at the Kunlun Sacred Land, the other party will inevitably return to the palace to rest.
