Within the Cultivation World, although there are a multitude of forces and schools, such as heresy and heterodoxy, as well as cultivator families claiming endless lineages, and new sects constantly erging,
still, when everything is accounted for, Daoist and Buddhist are held in highest esteem.
And among the Buddhist Sect, presently, the Great Freedom Temple has the most formidable strength, declaring itself to be filled with Arhats and a Little Western Heaven in the Human World.
Bai Qin had once stated in Southern Yue that he was confident he could rely on the "Buddha Bird relics" to break away from the Great Freedom Temple and establish his own lineage, which, despite sounding sowhat boastful, seed feasible given that his senior brother was willing to fully support him.
Hence, one can infer the imnse power held by the Buddha Treasure that Tao Qian had acquired.
"It's a good thing that I entered the Spirit Treasure Sect in ti, otherwise, even if I fled to the ends of the earth, I would surely be hunted down relentlessly by the Great Freedom Temple."
"The hundreds of Buddha Birds and Protecting Dharma Vajras within the relics, if they could all co to life and exert their full strength, and develop for a few hundred or a thousand years, perhaps another Vajra Temple might erge."
"What a pity, since I am not Buddha's son, such grandeur can only be a dream."
"However, I should take a gradual approach now, taking advantage when I can—why pass up an opportunity?"
Muttering to himself, Tao Qian did not hesitate to call forth the relic treasure that he hadn't used in a long while.
At the sa ti, he seed to have a premonition, and couldn't help but pinch the "Great Freedom Nirvana Seal."
Originally, this was one of Great Freedom Temple's Profound Buddhist Laws, but it was altered by the Spirit Treasure Sect to remove the hidden influence that generates a fondness for Buddhism.
Right now, as Tao Qian executed it, he stumbled upon an unexpected gain.
The impulse to go and devote himself to the temple, triggered by hearing Ba Tuo Bodhisattva recite scriptures, lted away in a mont like the last snow under the strong sun.
Tao Qian paused, then imdiately grinned and said understandingly,
"Who would've thought, there are conflicts even within Buddhism."
"Great Freedom hears of the Dharma Cakra magical thod, only to feel not so free anymore."
He said jokingly, and as the words fell, the Buddha Bird relics, brought out by listening to the scripture, burst into golden Buddha Light.
Within it, the phantoms of Hundred Buddha Bird Protectors surged forward as if they all knew the benefits of listening to the scriptures.
Without needing Tao Qian to beckon them, each one solemnly sat down, their postures varied, listening to Ba Tuo Bodhisattva chanting the "Buddha Reversing Demon Scripture."
In just a few breaths, a Buddha Bird Protector's extrely faint silhouette began to solidify, followed by the second, the third, the fourth...
In Tao Qian's mind, Records surged continuously.
Each one represented a Buddha Bird Protector whose Dharma Image beca clearer.
Thus, the benefits for Tao Qian were clear and straightforward.
In the future, when he needed the help of the Buddha Bird Protectors, the cost would be much lower.
"Previously, it took all my mana to summon a total of ten protectors, including the Sky-Supporting Ancient Ape, to fight at the Cavernous Mystery level."
"Beings like the Garuda, Lingjiu, Peacock, and so on, were definitely beyond summoning."
"Now I am only one step away from the Cavernous Mystery Realm, and with this benefit, though still a stretch, if luck is on my side, perhaps I could summon one?"
With his thoughts settled, Tao Qian felt more joyous and imrsed himself in listening to the scriptures.
He was thankful that Ba Tuo Bodhisattva was only an illusion, not a True Master.
Otherwise, seeing a Spirit Treasure Disciple draped in the guise of the Secret of the Toad Sect, pinching the Nirvana Divine Seal of the Great Freedom Temple, and calling forth a hundred Buddha Birds to mooch off the rhythm of his scripture, even a Buddha would beco angry and lift a hand to capture this sly youngster, to personally shave his head and make him a monk.
However, there was an observer on the scene, Yuan Gong, an old predecessor of the Secret Demon Sect.
The Old Demon, who had spent his lifeti practicing swordsmanship, watched his newly accepted disciple turn a dangerous price and peril into an undeniable benefit with just a few actions and was montarily stunned.
After contemplating it for a mont and seeing the joyous outco, he showed a smile and said to himself thrice in delight,
"Good, good, good!"
"When we parted ways, all my brothers said they had no expectation for , a straightforward person, to attract any impressive Secret Demon Children, and they just asked to focus on my swordsmanship inheritance, that rebuilding the Secret Demon Sect was not my burden."
"Heh heh, but they underestimated this Old Ape. When they see my clever disciple, they will surely be begrudging."
...
In the Demon Trap Pit, the Grain and Grass Officer Tao Qian was leading a hundred Buddha Birds and mooching off the Subli Dharma of a Dharma Cakra Temple's Bodhisattva.
anwhile, in the territory above the Secret Realm, Yellow Robed Seductive Spirit Wei Ziyuan, having just led two captives out with the Magic Rope about ten miles away, confird that no one was nearby, complained about being overworked the night before and said she wanted to rest for a mont. She casually found a large rock and fell asleep on the barren hills, not caring about Qin Wuxiang and Zhou Yingchun.
She slept openly, but intentionally hung the Forbidden Spirit Sealing God token on her charming waist, conspicuously visible.
The two Demon Children didn't hesitate; like two grasshoppers tied to the sa rope, they hopped over cautiously and took the token.
Freeing themselves from the Forbidden Technique and loosening the divine rope, they said,
"Thank you for the assistance."
The two exchanged glances, perfunctorily thanked Wei Ziyuan with a bow, then both transford into beams of Evasion Light and fled.
Scarcely had they left when the Lustful Charm awoke.
She glanced around with dissatisfaction and said, "Those two dead ghosts just left like that, and not even a fart was left behind. There's still plenty of ti, and here I am, a beauty sleeping under a crabapple tree in spring, not sure how to co up to seek pleasure with . Truly blind, no wonder they got caught by that thief."
Qin Wuxiang and Zhou Yingchun, having hurried away, naturally did not know that a Yellow Robed Seductive Spirit was cursing them in the shadows.
Even if they did know, they would not have acted on it.
The forr, whether before or after his transformation, was a person who loved cleanliness and would never touch the body of a Seductive Spirit.
The latter was not interested in female cultivators, only male cultivators.
Having narrowly escaped death, they soared on their Evasion Light, quickly crossing Ten Mountains and Eight Waters to enter into Shangyang City.
Midway, Master Baihua Zhou Yingchun couldn't hide his worries and softly transmitted a ssage:
