The Person in the Pagoda

Even after he regained his health Buddha Son Shigong continued to feign illness and even infiltrated the secret realm of Mount Mi Lu.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that Buddha Son Shigong was plotting something. He liked this kind of person who was plotting, and only someone with this kind of quality would reveal the secrets of Mount Milu.

Compared to Lingxiao and Kunlun, the Milu Mountain secret realm is not large, but it still covers an area of about ten miles in radius.

Zhang Xuezhou could fly quickly through the secret area, but searching for this secret area was another matter entirely. Having someone to guide him would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble and allow for a more in-depth investigation.

"This is the workshop. I usually learn to make some bone artifacts here!"

The sickly -Buddha Son Shigong led the way, occasionally making introductions, while Parvati, whose appearance had somehow become ugly, remained silent as she walked beside the group.

"These bone tools are quite nice!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the bone artifacts mentioned by the Buddha Son Shigong.

These bone artifacts were crafted from the Yao Treasure of powerful demons; some possess the original power of the Yao Treasure, while others have become Incantation Technique Law Artifact for incantations.

Creating a treasure is not as simple as grinding it a couple of times; it requires the use of Law Power to repeatedly refine it and constantly withstand the erosion of the Yao Qi remaining in the Yao Treasure in order to maintain its characteristics as much as possible while still allowing the Yao Treasure to use it normally.

After listening to the Buddha Son Shigong's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou barely grasped the process of creating the Yao Treasure.

"This is my wife. She usually does chores for me, but she's been corrupted by Yao Qi, and her body is somewhat deformed!"

Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou's gaze sweep towards Parvati, the Buddha Son Shigong offered a brief explanation.

"Then she works for a rather long time," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"It's been quite a long time!"

The Buddha Son Shigong nodded and then lowered his head again.

His staying here clearly comes with conditions; only by meeting these conditions can he be stationed in the secret realm of Milu Mountain.

"What are you looking for here?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with a smile. "I'm somewhat lucky, and the cultivator next to me is a great talent. Perhaps he can help you while completing your mission to the Immortal Court!"

"I'm just using the Yao Treasure to study Demon Power; I have no other purpose!"

The Buddha Son Shigong shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he had no ulterior motives.

"The world holds countless mysteries, and trying to solve them alone is always a poor strategy," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "I've heard that some fortuitous opportunity in the world can turn white hair black, change one's appearance, extend one's lifespan, and even regenerate severed limbs, thus making one completely new!"

"Um?"

The Buddha Son Shigong's gaze sharpened. He was indeed not hiding anything and was genuinely researching Demon Power to see if he could implant a demonic body into himself.

But no matter what demonic body he connected with, it couldn't compare to the original limbs. He hadn't intended to pay attention to Zhang Xuezhou's incessant questioning, but Zhang Xuezhou directly hit his weak spot.

"What fortuitous opportunity in the world can allow someone to be reborn after severing their body?" asked the Buddha Son Shigong, earnestly.

"Hehe!"

Zhang Xuezhou chuckled dryly without responding, which made the Buddha Son Shigong, itching to know more. He wished he could just pry open Zhang Xuezhou's mouth and get the information he needed.

Buddha Son Shigong was well aware that if he couldn't help Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou would never hand over the fortuitous opportunity so easily.

Ultimately, they weren't exactly close friends. They had met and cooperated a few times, each taking what they needed, and weren't long-term stakeholders.

However, Buddha Son Shigong felt that the Immortal Court and Kunlun had staged a thief crying "stop thief!" incident, with the aim of smearing the two sect leaders, and it was impossible to truly find any scapegoating cultivators.

It seems that Zhang Xuezhou and others are conducting the investigation, but how could Buddha Son Shigong get involved in such speculation?

"The only things I can access are Yao Treasure and dead souls. These areas are all within my reach. That area, however, is off-limits to me and holds great danger!"

The Buddha Son Shigong pointed out several areas.

The areas he can enter won't hold any special secrets, while the areas he can't go to are fraught with danger. Even if Zhang Xuezhou comes with an imperial decree to investigate, he'll need considerable skill to enter.

The Buddha Son Shigong's gaze swept over the numerous areas still burning, and the white ash left behind by the burning souls of hundreds or even thousands of great demons. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou and the others were incredibly audacious in carrying out their orders. They were showing no respect for the Western Sect. If they had any secret hiding places, they would have chosen to forcibly enter them.

After pointing out several places, the Buddha Son Shigong saw that Zhang Xuezhou and Divine Lord Zhenyuan were indeed heading towards the dangerous area ahead, completely ignoring the arrangements made by the two sect leaders, Jieyin and Zhunti.

"There's poison powder on the door, and a trap behind it!"

"The mechanism must be connected to this heavy stone; be careful not to damage the internal support points so it won't fall!"

"Just push down the huge boulder beforehand!"

The Buddha Son Shigong saw the two of them whispering to each other for a while, and then they started demolishing the house.

He watched blankly as the two, who completely disregarded the rules, pushed over the massive boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds, directly tearing off the roof of the secret chamber set up by the Master of the Zhunti Sect, and then crawled into the secret chamber from the top.

"What kind of treasure is this?"

"I feel it's better than Li Tianwang's pagoda magic Law Treasure!"

"This kind of mysterious energy on the tower is very rare; it actually neutralized my Law Power!"

"The Seven Treasures Tree of the Zhunti against magical Law Treasure; this must be his spoils of war!"

"I... am too heavy. This treasure is difficult to use without knowing the proper methods; it's no different from carrying a wall!"

"Let's see if we can find any spirit jade!"

The conversation inside the secret room was very quiet, but Buddha Son Shigong could hear it clearly.

He was somewhat taken aback, feeling that the two men seemed less like they were there to inspect and more like they were there to freeload.

It was truly rare for a cultivator in the Three Realms to have the audacity to openly rob the Western Sect. For a moment Buddha Son Shigong felt a sense of existential unease. He thought that Zhang Xuezhou was used to eating and drinking for free in the Kunlun Sacred Land and probably didn't understand that the situation at Mount Milu was different.

But as soon as he thought of how Divine Lord Zhenyuan could casually fan away a boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds, he felt that these two people did have some ability to take advantage of a crisis. Even if they were no match for the two sect leaders, they could at least run away.

"This tower has suddenly become light again; it actually tipped over just now!"

Why do I suddenly feel so light?

"I don't know either, can we use it?"

"Take it all, take it all! Anything these two old geezers have hoarded, I'll take it all. Even if I don't need it, I'll be happy to leave it in the sea for them to search for!"

"Fine, you're in charge!"

The two searched the secret room thoroughly, even resorting to treasure-hunting techniques.

After waiting for a while, the Buddha Son Shigong saw two people jump out of the secret chamber one after the other, each carrying a pagoda that was ten feet tall.

A pale yellow aura emanated from the pagoda, clearly indicating it was an extraordinary treasure. The Buddha Son Shigong, reluctantly stepped forward.

"Gentlemen, I have no intention of becoming a fugitive. Could you please be a little more polite, or wait until the leader arrives before recovering the stolen goods?"

Zhang Xuezhou and his group searching for clues was one thing, but ransacking the place like this was bound to cause trouble. Even if the Buddha Son Shigong feigned illness, he couldn't escape it. He would most likely be beaten to death by the Zhunti Leader under the pretext of neglect.

He looked troubled, feeling that the clues Zhang Xuezhou and the others were searching for were completely different from what he had imagined.

The Buddha Son Shigong could never have imagined that the two of them would dare to embezzle such a precious treasure.

He stepped forward and pleaded, but the strangely-looking cultivator beside Zhang Xuezhou waved his long sleeve, and a gentle binding force made it difficult for him to move.

"Stop making such a racket! If you want to avoid disaster, leave here as soon as possible!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan bound Buddha Son Shigong with a single sleeve. Shigong Fozi had been whipped by Zhunti Jiaozhu with the Seven Treasures Tree, but now that he had obtained a precious treasure, he was in a very good mood and could not listen to Buddha Son Shigong's advice.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't been familiar with the other party, the power of his sleeve wouldn't have been so simple.

"Please spare my life, gentlemen. I finally managed to get transferred to Milu Mountain..."

The Buddha Son Shigong pleaded several times, while the Divine Lord Zhenyuan showed impatience on his face.

The two repeatedly made excuses and kept pulling at Zhang Xuezhou. Then, a loud bang was heard from the pagoda, and the ten-foot-tall pagoda rapidly grew larger, transforming into a nine-foot-tall pagoda.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the pagoda's main gate suddenly opened, and a white-haired Daoist priest draped in pale yellow mystic energy walked out of the pagoda.

"That Ten Thousand Demon Soul-Devouring Array is finally gone! My survival was actually due to fate!"

The Human Dynasty the crowd, and with a swift movement, his figure receded rapidly, disappearing directly through the Bifeng layer above Mount Milu.

"Is there someone still imprisoned in this tower?"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan exclaimed in surprise. He looked at the Daoist who had vanished in an instant and couldn't help but gasp.

It's hard to say about the opponent's other abilities, but his flying skills alone are extraordinary. Even if he tried his best, his speed was probably only equivalent to the opponent's starting speed.

"It seems to be a Yang Soul Body!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan focused on the flying Technique Method used by the Daoist, while Zhang Xuezhou paid attention to the opponent's body.

If he wasn't mistaken, the other party was indeed a Yang Soul, but possessed a body indistinguishable from a physical body. This body gave him a sense of familiarity, and there was a high probability that it was formed through cultivation using the Zhu Jiuyin method.
