The Dao of Utmost Sincerity

Feng Haixiao gave an awkward laugh. He had previously walked a tightrope between Zheng Family Garden and Wanshun Sea Hall, and his stance was far from firm.

He was no match for a loyal minister like Wei Kaishan, but fortunately, he still stood firmly behind Martial Hall Master at the crucial moment, and they developed a bond of comradeship.

So he had nothing to hold back and said directly, "Brother Mang, the reason Old Wei and I came here is to ask what your plans are for us."

"What, Boss Zheng has no explanation?" Hu Mang asked casually.

"Boss Zheng only told us to rest for a while, but you know, people like us are like a man without his second-in-command when we lose our territory. We can't sit still at all. That's why I thought of you, Boss Zheng's favorite, to ask if there's anything we can do."

Although Wei Kaishan was too embarrassed to say it, he did have some thoughts in his mind. Going from a dock boss with nearly a thousand men under his command to an unemployed person all of a sudden, the psychological gap was indeed quite large.

The reason why they sought out this Heavenly Blood Python, rather than other guild leaders or bosses' secretaries, is even simpler.

"A turbulent time reveals a loyal minister, and a raging fire tests true gold. You won't know until you try; our Zheng Family Garden actually has a Nascent Soul cultivator hidden within."

Who could have imagined this?

No wonder the boss was willing to entrust his own safety to this person and make him a big shot in Zheng Family Garden. With Nascent Soul level combat power in charge, who could possibly assassinate Boss Zheng successfully? It couldn't be this Brother Mang himself, could it?

It has been almost half a month since they left Sumatra and seven days since they returned to Zheng Family Garden. Through Zheng Family Garden's intelligence system, they already know everything they need to know and everything they don't know.

The Buddha Woman hasn't shown her face for half a month, Immortal Woman He hasn't shown her face for half a month, Zhao Longbo hasn't shown his face for half a month.

The henchmen that fat bastard Master Bao hired at great expense seem to have all mysteriously disappeared.

In the eyes of other forces, these top experts from Nanyang may have disappeared to protect Master Bao.

But only they themselves knew that the three men disappeared after failing to hunt them down.

In particular, Feng Haixiao personally witnessed the Heavenly Blood Python and the Buddha Woman fighting fiercely in the rainforest, almost destroying half of the rainforest before finally disintegrating the Buddha Woman's physical body.

If the Buddha Woman was like this, the other two were probably no better off.

As expected of Nascent Soul level expert from Heavenly Gate, his strength is indeed exaggerated.

" With Boss Zheng's injuries not yet healed, and given the Wanshun Sea Hall incident, it's impossible for the Zheng Family Garden to start a new dock war anytime soon. We hope you understand."

"Yes, yes, we mainly want to find something to do. Otherwise, if we're going to teahouses every day, we might as well just retire and live a peaceful life," Feng Haixiao said.

"Just to find something to do," the Hu Mang repeated, "Just to find something to do?"

"Yes."

"I do have a project Heavenly Gate, which might be a bit dangerous. Would you like to participate?"

Hu Mang tapped the thick desk with his finger and suddenly said.

"The Heavenly Gate Project?" Feng Haixiao gasped. "Is it the Heavenly Gate Project I'm thinking of?"

"I can only tell you that it's a Heavenly Gate project; I can only say more once you've participated."

The research project started by people from Heavenly Gate, isn't it a Heavenly Gate project?

Hu Mang wasn't lying.

"Then I'll participate. There are countless people in Nanyang who want to get in touch with Heavenly Gate but don't know how," Feng Haixiao said decisively.

"If there's even a small opening in the palm of the Heavenly Gate, it'll be enough for us to eat our fill."

Wei Kaishan thought for a moment and said, "I'll join too, but I can only join after I've settled my old brothers in."

"Sure, just go to the newly built building in Zheng Family Garden and find a doctor named Doctor Sun. Tell him I arranged this, and he'll take care of everything."

Hu Mang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't use you for nothing. Your participation will also benefit your cultivation, and you'll likely be able to break through a minor realm."

Upon hearing this, both Feng Haixiao and Wei Kaishan were startled, their eyes suddenly lighting up.

After finding two Golden Core level test subjects for Sun Jidao, Hu Mang left Zheng Family Garden directly.

In fact, if he hadn't been blocked by the other party after leaving the pass, he would have left long ago.

The Wanshun Sea Hall matter has come to an end, but there are still many unresolved issues that need to be addressed.

Soon, Hu Mang arrived at a privately owned dock in Zheng Family Garden.

The pier was hidden between two islands, like a secret nest, surrounded by jagged rocks and dark waters.

The area had been cleared out long ago, and the pier was deserted, except for a few seabirds circling on the distant rocks, emitting sharp cries, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

The area had been cleared out in advance, and as soon as Hu Mang arrived, he was hit by a strong, fishy stench; the smell was like rotting fish and shrimp mixed with the putrid odor of seaweed, with a nauseating, sticky feeling that assaulted his nostrils.

He looked down and saw a large number of dead fish floating on the surface of the sea. The dead fish were belly up, their scales grayish-white, and they floated stiffly on the sea as if their life force had been drained by some force. They covered the entire dock area with their dense numbers.

"This is polluting the environment! You creatures would be better off just lying quietly on the seabed."

Hu Mang sighed and complained, completely unaware that he was the one who had lured these sea monsters out.

He didn't immediately fly into the sea. After touching the ceiling of "Shattering the Void", he suddenly had a mysterious intuition. This feeling was somewhat similar to "calculating the secrets of heaven", but it was more instinctive and direct.

For example, his martial arts instincts constantly reminded him that there was a threat ahead and that entering it would endanger his life.

The Hu Mang naturally knew what the threat was; these dead fish washed ashore had no "face" to speak of.

It had no eyes, no gills, and was completely smooth, making it look extremely eerie.

"Faceless Sea Lord's corpse surfaced again? It seems the Tianhai."

The Hu Mang muttered to itself.

Compared to the other two, the Faceless Sea Lord is considered to have a good temper among the sea monsters.

As long as you don't provoke it, it generally won't wake up. Plus, it sleeps on the seabed and rarely encounters any living creatures, so it's usually quite safe. Only when the underwater currents are strong enough to push it to the surface will it unleash the "Faceless Curse," wiping out all life within a radius of tens or hundreds of miles before sinking back to the seabed.

Before leaving, and considering that apart from "Whale Marquis" who had some intelligence, the other two were monsters without consciousness, the Hu Mang simply let the Ghost Dragon Vein swallow them, and then opened the Yin-Yang Passage to teleport back to Java.

Then they arranged the ghost ship on this private dock, hoping that in this quiet environment, the three sea monsters could continue to slumber.

As it turned out, he was prescient.

None of these three want to sleep!

The moment he emerged from seclusion, the consciousness of the Ghost Dragon Vein began frantically urging him to come over. If it weren't for the Ghost Dragon Vein stopping him, these three would have already been wreaking havoc off the coast of Java.

"Pure Body", "Immaculate Body", "Body-Protecting Buddha Light", "Wisdom King Fire"

Layer upon layer of minor Buddhist Divine Ability were piled on the Hu Mang, making the whole python look like a real monk.

What's interesting is that as these minor Buddhist Divine Ability were applied, the initial sense of danger gradually faded away.

Especially after the "Wisdom King Fire" covered its body, the Hu Mang felt that all sense of danger had disappeared.

"This martial artist's intuition even seems to have a bit of artificial intelligence about it; it can assess crises, can it?"

"However, this judgment should also be a kind of Heavenly Secrets Evolution; otherwise, even with the strongest sense of danger, it would be impossible to discern the strength of this Buddhist Divine Ability, or the extent to which it can digest strange phenomena."

According to the official statement of the Nanyang Chinese Affairs General Company, is this what is meant by "Dao of Utmost Sincerity can lead to foresight"?

A pl version of "The cicadas sense the autumn wind before it blows."

Or, to put it another way, it's the user-friendly version of the Heavenly Secrets Evolution.

As Hu Mang pondered this, he stepped onto the sea.

As it turns out, this "Dao of Utmost Sincerity" is effective. Where the Wisdom King Fire burns, the faceless fish also burn in large numbers. In some areas, even if the Wisdom King Fire does not cover them, they still burn fiercely.

The Wisdom King Fire is quite effective against the opponent.

If it weren't for the fact that Hu Mang had grown his hair to a medium length and tied it in a ponytail, he would really give the impression of a high monk walking across the sea to reach the other shore, with the Buddha's fire burning away evil spirits.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but my Binary Kasaya seems to have gotten quite thick. Come to think of it, my Lust Abstinence Software should be on the market by now, right? In the first quarter of this year, right?"

Creating a simple Cultivation Method software is not difficult; the challenge lies in creating a large-capacity Cultivation Method software.

For some reason, the people of the Mystic Shield Sect are extremely confident in this unconventional product, as if they won't give up on the market until they've polished it to perfection, which is why the launch date has been delayed again and again.

Fortunately, Heavenly Gate has Demonic Dao Committee but not a Buddhist Path Committee, so Hu Mang himself is confident about the product's scarcity.

The Hu Mang walked on the sea, leaving a fiery mark with each step, until it finally stopped on the surface of the sea, which was invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people.

The seawater no longer surged, but remained as still as if frozen, gleaming with a grayish-white luster, like a dried-up sea that had been drained of all life.

He could feel the seawater beneath his feet being slowly eroded by some force.

Here, the sea surface had been disturbed to a certain extent by three strange forces. For the first time, Hu Mang saw that besides the Ghost Haunt, there were other entities capable of disrupting reality.

Beneath the surface of the sea, countless blurry faces scream silently with their mouths agape. As far as the eye can see, the boundless sea is an endless expanse of human faces.

In addition, countless tiny white particles floated in the water, like crushed bone meal, slowly swirling, sinking, and rising again, as if some unseen hand was stirring a pot of cold bone broth.

Beneath the bone broth lay countless whelks of indescribable shapes.

Just one glance was enough to send his "martial arts intuition" racing again, and even the Buddha light Binary Kasaya began to flicker, like a program crashing.

Hu Mang took out the Clear Resonance Chime and exhaled.

"Okay, we'll tackle them one by one."
