These Monks Really Knew How to Play
"People from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land have arrived!"
Everyone looked over, their hearts slightly shaken.
Given the current situation, it seems that the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is about to become the sole dominant force.
A short while later, the flying boat hovered and approached.
Lu Changzhi spoke up, saying:
"We've already received the items; you're late."
He paused, then continued:
"Clean this place up, don't waste too much time."
After saying that, he got up and entered the flying boat.
Subsequently, figures of elders from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land descended from the flying boat, searching for corpses on the ground below and taking their storage rings.
At the same time, another kind-faced elder appeared in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the arena, and spoke:
"This Non-Self Cloud Heaven Holy Land, but by someone with ulterior motives."
Everyone present was taken aback upon hearing this.
Absurd, this is utterly absurd.
The ruthless killer had just entered your Cloud Heaven Holy Land's flying ship and was now taking storage rings from corpses, and now you're trying to clarify that it wasn't Cloud Heaven Holy Land who did it.
They're really treating them like they're blind!
At this moment, the elder spoke again:
"If they hadn't coveted the treasures taken from my Cloud Heaven Holy Land and deliberately provoked us, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood.
So, this is what "it was done intentionally by someone with ulterior motives" actually means.
If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with it.
It's nothing more than an attempt to distance themselves from the situation, so making such a statement isn't surprising.
The cleaning was done very quickly.
After doing all this, the airship slowly sped away into the distance.
"It seems the treasure underwater is extraordinary." After the flying boat had sailed far away, someone glanced down and sighed.
"Definitely." Someone else nodded. "Look at these elders from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land; they didn't even glance at the Rift Valley and left decisively. Clearly, with such outstanding individuals before them, this place holds no appeal for them anymore."
"I don't think so. Maybe they're afraid that the other groups will come and they won't be able to leave if they stay any longer. Otherwise, they would definitely try to do something here."
"What you said makes sense, but regardless, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land definitely benefited this time."
"Yes, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land seems to have had quite a bit of luck lately. We saw that extraordinary Heaven and Earth Phenomenon in the Eastern Region, and now they've stumbled upon this good fortune... it's truly..."
"Excuse me, sir, as far as I know, that light from last time didn't seem to be a good thing."
The crowd discussed it animatedly, expressing a great deal of emotion.
No one expected to witness such a conflict between the four major forces today.
Although, the scale is not particularly large.
But at least I witnessed a Saint's strike and it broadened my horizons.
"That previous shot must have come from an elder of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, Ge Duantian."
In the void, one of the three spoke:
"Leave one person here; the other, come with me."
A moment later, the two figures, along with their presence, vanished without a trace.
On the flying boat.
Lu Changzhi opened the system and began to examine his gains.
"As expected, this broadsword also has quite a few dents."
After glancing at the description of the large cleaver, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head.
After killing this wave, the greatsword was upgraded three times.
However, it still remains at the level of explosive martial arts techniques and light orbs.
Two more upgrades are needed before you can advance to the next level, which means you'll lose cultivation points.
Furthermore, the experience required for each upgrade gradually increases.
It's all a setup.
Of course, Lu Changzhi wasn't in a hurry.
I leveled up three times, which saved me 6,000 experience points.
Saving money is earning money.
In addition, there's the harvest this time.
The drop rate is extremely high; all the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills that have been successfully practiced are now contained in the small orb.
"Star Body Tempering Art" (Saint Rank Peak Grade) - Level 4.
"Three Stars Sever Life" (Saint Rank Low Grade) - Great Completion.
Chaotic World Meteor Hammer (Spirit Rank High Grade) -- Perfect.
There are many different martial arts techniques and methods, and they are quite varied. They are of different grades and the progress of cultivation is also different.
Lu Changzhi simply used the system prompts to record and review the information.
Some people may not practice much, but they make good progress in every kind of practice.
Some people practice all sorts of spiritual disciplines, trying out almost every one of them and becoming proficient in almost every one.
The basic and semi-advanced martial arts techniques are extremely limited in use and are merely filler.
"But."
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly. "Although its usefulness is limited, it is still a way to expand one's knowledge and skills."
It's not entirely useless, though.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi's gaze suddenly stopped.
His gaze fell on a name.
"The Harvest Yang to Supplement Yang Art" (Spirit Rank Peak Grade) - Complete.
After a pause, Lu Changzhi took another look.
You read that right, it's not about absorbing yin, it's about absorbing yang.
I glanced at the description.
Yes, it's a dual cultivation technique.
It is only suitable for male practitioners.
In contrast, Lu Changzhi fell silent for a moment.
He never expected that such a thing would have a corresponding dual cultivation method.
Knowledge gained +1.
I glanced at the source.
It burst from Jing Yun's body.
Lu Changzhi shook his head as he read it:
"These monks are really something else."
However, upon closer reflection, it seems there's no real problem.
It is said that Buddhist Order monks abstain from women... but it has never said that they are forbidden from men!
After examining the items that Jing Yun had dropped, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell upon a cultivation technique called "Evil Spirit Control Art".
The requirement for practitioners is to have sufficiently strong yang energy to prevent their minds from being corrupted by Evil Spirit. After cultivation, one can control Evil Spirit and make them do things according to one's wishes.
With the help of his Erudite, information about the Evil Spirit appeared in Lu Changzhi's mind:
"Evil Spirit are formed when human souls are influenced by Devil Qi, causing them to lose their reason. They can invade the bodies of ordinary people and cause harm, and can be controlled through certain methods..."
After reading what the other monks had revealed, Lu Changzhi frowned slightly.
"I initially thought it was just a unique hobby, but now it seems these monks are hiding something too."
Jing Yun was not the only one who practiced these two things.
All three of them were Buddhist Order monks.
This is where the problem lies.
At this moment, Gu Qingyang got up and went outside.
"Changzhi man, these are the spoils of this trip. Take a look?"
The pockets were filled with storage rings and other items.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi looked at the monks' vows and vows.
Nothing was found that was related to Evil Spirit.
As for the other items, although there were quite a few, nothing really caught my interest.
If that's the case, things become much simpler.
Leave it to the sect.
Looking outside, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he asked:
"Old Ancestor Gu, is this flying boat heading towards the Cloud Heaven Holy Land?"
This is not the direction to return to the Five Symbols Sect.
"If you're going to put on a show, go all the way."
Gu Qingyang spoke softly, glancing towards the rear of the flying boat:
"Two elite members of the Shadow Hall are secretly following us. Dealing with them would be too low in return for the effort, so we might as well continue the charade."
