Chapter 628 – Master Zhi Zhi
Chapter 628 – Master Zhi
As the two men confronted each other, the Buddhist cultivator holding the Demon Bucking Mortar and Pestle put away his precious weapon, folded his hands, and took the lead to speak.
“Goodness, goodness, poor monk is the infinite mountain Zhi Zhi, I do not know who the female monks are?”
Immeasurable Mountain Duizhi?
Xu Chuniang’s gaze moved slightly, she had also heard of Master Yuzhi’s name, a great cultivator in the late YuanYing stage of Buddhist teachings.
However, back when the evil cultivators had killed the Cold Mountain Sect, Mount Immeasurable had chosen to seal its own gates to protect itself.
She had heard that the order to seal up Mount Immeasurable was given by Master Yuzhi.
Just as Xu Chuniang was pondering, Master Zhi Zhi looked at the thousands of Yuan Magnetic Divine Lights in mid-air, and the mountains that had been flattened behind her, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
“Could it be that Shi Master is the newly promoted YuanYing of the Easy Sect, the Immortal Xu who destroyed the Mixed Yuan Sect?”
Seeing her identity singled out, Xu Chuniang didn’t deny it.
“Not bad, why has Your Excellency appeared here?”
Although the fact that Master Yuzhi had sealed himself off from the mountain had displeased her, but associating the Buddha’s light on Shangguan Xue’s body and the sudden appearance of Master Yuzhi, she realized that there might be some sort of connection between the two.
“Hehe, why Immortal Xu came, is why I came.”
Master Yuzhi smiled faintly, meaning to say.
Xu Chuniang’s heart fluttered, she had come for the purpose of searching for the place of great fortune and uncovering the thieves who stole it.
Could it be that this Master Zhi Zhi had come here for this matter as well?
Seeing that she was silent, Master Zhi Zhi clasped his hands together and uttered another Buddha’s name.
“I know that because of the matter of Immeasurable Mountain’s self-sealing of its gates, the other several sects have many grievances against us, but the truth is that we are only doing this to protect ourselves.”
Master Yuzhi sighed softly, “The five great sects are separated from each other, and there were originally quite a lot of disagreements, and with a slight provocation from those evil cultivators, there will be frequent chaos.
Even if I, Immeasurable Mountain, don’t seal the mountain gates, I won’t be able to change the end of the other several great sects.”
Xu Chuniang knew in her heart that Master Yuzhi was speaking the truth.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect had three YuanYing cultivators in attendance, and still chose to stand idly by when the Loose Sect was attacked by evil cultivators.
Perhaps, the Wan Jian Sect’s YuanYing cultivators, too, had thought of stepping in to help.
However, the two sects were very far apart, and once the YuanYing cultivators left rashly, it was very likely that the evil cultivators would take advantage of the situation.
In the end, it was the Easy Sect’s own strength that was insufficient.
The Immeasurable Mountain had the late YuanYing stage Master Yuzhi, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had three YuanYing stage sword cultivators.
The Easy Sect, Myriad Dan Sect and Cold Mountain Sect were slightly weaker, which was why they were targeted by the evil cultivators.
Xu Chuniang sighed in her heart and didn’t dwell on the matter much, opening the door to ask.
“So Master’s visit here is also due to the decrease in heaven and earth’s aura?”
Master Yuzhi nodded, “The theft of the great fortune of heaven and earth has actually been in the works for a long time, and the evil cultivators being in power is one of the signs.
Some of my Immeasurable Sect’s predecessors came here and found a rare space formation, I brought my disciple to the Western Region to cultivate, so I walked up the path, and ended up being trapped in the formation for several years.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, “The disciple you spoke of, wouldn’t that be Shangguan Xue?
How do I remember, Senior Sister Shangguan is a member of my Easy Sect, how did she become your disciple again?”
“That’s a long story, I can only say that she didn’t deserve her fate.”
Master Zhuozhi’s eyes showed the color of remembrance, when he picked up Shangguan Xue in front of the mountain gate, she already had a demonic qi entering her body, an omen that her life would not last long.
Master Zhi Zhi recognized that what she was wearing, was precisely the Taoist robes of the Free Sect, and picked her up, but also just to let her have a place to return to after death.
But the demonic gas attack Shangguan Xue, lasted seven days and seven nights, hard not broken.
Master Zhaizhi was impressed by her perseverance and finally decided to save her.
At the beginning, his original intention was to help Shangguan Xue clear the demonic energy in her body.
However, because of the demonic seed planted by the Three Idiots, the demonic qi in Shangguan Xue’s body had long been deeply rooted and could not be eliminated. In the end, Master Yu Zhi had to find another way to let Shangguan Xue switch to Buddhism, suppressing the demonic energy in her body.
“My Limitless Sect’s Kung Fu is not to be outsourced, since I have taught her Buddhism, I have no choice but to accept her as a disciple.”
“It’s just fine for you to have her turn to Buddhism and suppress the demonic energy, why did you bring her to the Western Region to suck in the demonic energy?”
“Although after turning to Buddhism, the dual cultivation of Taoism and Buddhism can always suppress the demonic qi in her body, it also hinders her cultivation progress.
If you want to break through to the YuanYing realm, the only way to successfully form a baby is to absorb a large amount of ghost qi, making the four qi in your body balanced.”
Xu Chuniang’s brows furrowed, “Wouldn’t it leave any hidden dangers to cultivate all four qi together like this?”
“Naturally, there is.”
Master Yuzhi sighed, “Once the balance in her body is broken, it is highly likely that she will simply explode and die.
Even worse, it is possible that she will be reduced to a killing creature without feelings or reason.”
“Then you still brought her to the Western Region to inhale ghost qi?”
“This is her own choice, and before coming here, she has requested me to carve a Buddhist seal in her Yuan Shen, once the demonic or ghostly qi prevails, the Buddhist seal will be activated to erase her Yuan Shen.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart was clear, Senior Sister Shangguan would rather die than turn into a monster that plagued the earth.
“Then do you know that Senior Sister Shangguan originally had a master?”
“I know that, I asked her to go back to the Easy Sect before, but she was unwilling to go back, saying that she had changed her practice to Buddhism, and that she had no face to face the Easy Sect and her former master again.”
Hearing this, Xu Chuniang remained silent for a long time.
Perhaps Senior Sister Shangguan, in fact, wanted to return to the Free Sect, but nowadays, as long as she showed up in the cultivation world, she would be treated as an evil cultivator.
She just couldn’t return to the sect even if she wanted to.
“The theft of the Great Luck is not a trivial matter, I’ll have Shangguan Xue wait outside and step into the formation alone.”
Speaking here, Master Yuzhi looked towards the tandem plains behind Xu Chuniang, his face showing astonishment.
“Could it be that Immortal Xu wanted to use brute force to open the mountain and break the formation?”
“This spatial array is based on nine mountain ranges, right now three of the nine mountains have already been destroyed by me, and it’s no longer difficult to break the rest of the array.”
After saying that, Xu Chuniang catalyzed the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and chopped down towards a few obvious breaks.
“Ka-ching ……”
Large swathes of space shattered, revealing the true mountain range that had been concealed by the formation.
Master Yuzhi marveled, “This Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, in the past, I only read about it in ancient books, I don’t want to see so much Yuan Magnetic Divine Light today, it’s really very sharp.”
After breaking the spatial formation, everything around seemed to be no different, but the clouds of smoke hovering in the distance had quietly dissipated at some point.
Xu Chuniang put away the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and looked towards Master Zhi.
“The formation has been broken and the road ahead is uncertain, is Master leaving here?”
“I have a hunch that the person who laid down this spatial array is most likely a thief of fortune.”
Grandmaster Zhuozhi looked into the distance, his eyes showing a bland color.
“Back then, when evil cultivators plagued the world, in order to protect the Infinite Sect’s thousand-year foundation, I had to seal my own mountain gate.
And now that the evil cultivators have been removed, and there are no more worries, I will walk this journey with you to help.”
Xu Chuniang nodded, “In that case, Master will travel with me.”
