"What kind of thod is this?"
Outside, the Zhenwu Ancient King stared at that figure with a Sharp Gleam in his eyes. "He seems to have fused multiple Holy Classes into one?"
"If he had used this thod last ti, even if the six of us joined forces, we might not have been able to inflict any injuries on him." The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron's eyes held trepidation.
"Then he is now..." The Vast Sea Emperor furrowed his brows tightly, but his expression suddenly changed.
"He wants to go out!" The Bronze Ancient King shouted sternly, his body bursting into streams of data light. The others weren't far behind, each displaying various thods.
They all materialized simultaneously at the edge of the Flare Realm, their expressions all incredibly ugly.
The Imasurable Buddha's strength was originally greater than theirs, and having lost the initiative, it was very difficult for them to stop him.
Above their heads, the Spirit of the Vast Sun lost interest and vanished.
"He wants to force his way out. His target is probably the Dust Star Sea." The Xuantian Ancient King's expression was cold and silent. "The reason why no one else from the Buddha Land ca is probably because there is sothing he wants in the Dust Star Sea."
"Can he force his way out?" The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron was a bit hesitant.
The Vast Sea Emperor said in a deep voice, "Such thods are unheard of. Besides, since he's trying, he definitely has a certain level of confidence. With all of us absent, if he arrives in the Dust Star Sea, won't he be acting unscrupulously?"
"Don't wait anymore." The Star-Firmant Ancient King said in a muffled voice, "If we join forces, we can also send one or two people out. Hurry and catch up to stop him!"
However, upon ntioning this topic, no one spoke. The urgency in everyone's hearts was because they were all trapped here. Those sent out wouldn't necessarily feel the sa urgency.
"Even if we don't trust each other, this Imasurable Buddha poses a greater threat." The Star-Firmant Ancient King advised, "I suggest sending the Ancient King Sacred Cauldron and Xuan Tian out; they are still trustworthy."
"You trust them, but I don't. Why not send out?" The Zhenwu Ancient King sneered. "Sending the Vast Sea Emperor out works too."
"You..." The Star-Firmant Ancient King's cheek twitched.
"Even if we send one or two people out, they would be severely injured upon exiting, which might not be a good thing." The Bronze Ancient King shook his head. The Imasurable Buddha's thods were definitely more nurous than theirs; it was risky.
The Xuantian Ancient King, however, said, "From outside this Flare Realm to the Dust Star Sea, there is still a very long distance covered in Nether Mist. How can he pinpoint the exact location?"
"The portion of power sent out last ti?" The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron guessed.
"Go find Taixuan Hong and have him use Deduction on that strand of the Imasurable Buddha's power, then have the people of the Dust Star Sea look for it." The Vast Sea Emperor sounded urgent. The Royal Court was the largest faction in the Dust Star Sea; if anything went wrong, their losses would be the greatest.
The Xuantian Ancient King also nodded. "The Faith Essence will probably be delivered very soon. Let's ask him to hand over the thod to get out in advance. We can also take this opportunity to give instructions to our subordinates. Otherwise, going back and forth will delay us for several more months."
......
"He really went out?" Su Chen's heart palpitated slightly as he looked at the Ancient Kings who failed to stop him.
He knew that the Imasurable Buddha's destination was exactly the Dust Star Sea. Now that the Ancient Kings were all absent, once this guy arrived in the Dust Star Sea, wouldn't he act unscrupulously?
"He actually had the confidence to force his way out." Su Chen furrowed his brows tightly; he truly hadn't anticipated this developnt.
But soon, the voice of the Xuantian Ancient King ca from outside. It lost its usual cadence, becoming cold and emotionless. "Little friend, please co out for a chat."
Hm? Su Chen paused, then reacted. "Right, with the Imasurable Buddha going out, these guys definitely can't sit still."
After pondering briefly, Su Chen ford a Phantom Image and walked out. The Xuantian Ancient King didn't engage in idle chatter with him this ti, getting straight to the point:
"You must have observed what just happened. That Imasurable Buddha forced his way out, and his target is very likely our holand."
"Our disciples and followers are all there, but we are not. No one can stand against this Imasurable Buddha. Little friend... he has repeatedly intended to harm you, and we stepped in to stop him every ti. We wonder if little friend can help us now."
The Xuantian Ancient King's words carried a coldness, and the others were equally solemn.
Su Chen readily agreed, "Naturally, it's not a problem. I've seen everything you all have done. Just tell directly what you need help with."
Hearing this, the Xuantian Ancient King's expression softened a bit. This Taixuan Hong was quite difficult to deal with, and right now, they had no mood for empty talk with this person.
He said, "We hope you can first hand over the thod to get out to us. When our disciples deliver the Faith Essence, we can inform them of the thods they need to prepare."
After saying that, he added, "We have cooperated several tis; we wouldn't stoop to swallowing your Faith Essence."
"Hmm..." Su Chen pondered. Originally, after these guys got out, they would very likely set their sights on him.
But now that his talent had been verified, and with the variable of the Imasurable Buddha, he actually hoped these guys would get out as soon as possible.
Feigning a mont of hesitation, he agreed, "No problem. I believe you are all overlords of your domains and naturally wouldn't bully a junior like over such a matter."
"Little friend is wise." The Xuantian Ancient King sighed emotionally. Including the Zhenwu Ancient King, the expressions of the several individuals relaxed to varying degrees. These words clearly resonated with them.
Su Chen carefully described the thod of getting out, which was nothing more than using a stronger ritual and combining internal and external forces.
"...Five hundred portions of Faith Essence, and there must also be a thod comparable to the Radiant Moon Tier..." Hearing this, the several individuals fell into thought.
Then the Xuantian Ancient King asked, "I wonder how confident little friend is in using Deduction to locate that strand of power the Imasurable Buddha let escape last ti?"
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. Feigning contemplation, he said, "Naturally, I don't have a hundred percent certainty. It should be around seventy or eighty percent."
Seventy or eighty percent? The group exchanged glances; this Probability was already very high.
"In that case, we ask little friend to help with the Deduction."
The Xuantian Ancient King looked at the Vast Sea Emperor. The group had reached a consensus. The Vast Sea Emperor didn't say much; with a flick of his hand, a mass of dense fla drifted over.
It was exactly the strand the Remnant Spirit had once inhabited. Su Chen felt emotional. He hadn't expected that the Imasurable Buddha forcing his way out of the Flare Realm would indirectly facilitate this for him.
These guys also realized that after the Imasurable Buddha went out, he would likely need that strand of power that escaped earlier as a guide.
"You actually had this Primal Source in your hands?"
He feigned surprise as he reached out and took this Remnant Spirit Origin, along with the fresh blood squeezed out by the Bronze Ancient King and the others.
"Obtained through a coincidence." The Xuantian Ancient King was vaguely prevaricating.
Su Chen naturally wouldn't press the issue. "Please wait a mont, everyone."
The Phantom Image turned and returned to the palace. Looking at this Remnant Spirit Origin, Su Chen let out a long breath.
He couldn't stop the Imasurable Buddha from forcing his way out, but at least he obtained this Remnant Spirit Origin.
Although the Faith Essence in his hands was running low due to exchanging for weapons, once the Faith Essence from the Dust Star Sea arrived, he could start preparing for the Class Requirent Deduction.
As for the blood of the Ancient Kings, that was rely a condition he intentionally stated to dispel any sense of coincidence.
He took out a glass bottle and stored it first; who knew when it might co in handy.
Waiting for more than half an hour, the group of guys outside still didn't rush him.
"Tsk, they really have patience." Su Chen had originally planned to wait for them to urge him a few tis before going out. He waited another half an hour, and still, no one spoke; they just stood there quietly.
"Why compare patience with them? An hour is enough." Speechless, Su Chen ford a Phantom Image and walked out again.
"Little friend finished the Deduction this quickly?" Seeing him co out, the Ancient Kings were all sowhat surprised.
"Fast..." Su Chen felt speechless internally, saying, "I am originally adept at this; practice makes perfect, that's all."
"According to my Deduction, a portion of the Imasurable Buddha's power seems to be hosted in a person nad 'Pei Jun'."
"Who?" The Vast Sea Emperor's expression changed slightly, and the others all turned their gazes to him. This na was precisely the real na of the Hell-Suppressing King.
Su Chen repeated it once more, feigning doubt, "Do you know this person?"
"Mm, he is a subordinate of this friend here." The Xuantian Ancient King didn't conceal it, pointing at the Vast Sea Emperor.
"Oh." Su Chen realized and offered a considerate reminder: "The Imasurable Buddha excels at turning black into white; don't let him be bewitched."
Several of them could foresee this happening. The Hell-Suppressing King knew too little about the matters here, and the Imasurable Buddha could easily make his mind uneasy in a few words.
"If he uses the matter of purifying Mist Cinders as bait, the entire Royal Court might have to obey his commands," the Bronze Ancient King suddenly said.
The Vast Sea Emperor's face changed drastically with anger, but he quickly cald down again. Right now, no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait.
"Thank you for your assistance, little friend." The Xuantian Ancient King nodded slightly.
"As I said before, we share a bitter hatred of the enemy." Su Chen waved his hand but then said, "Right now, the Imasurable Buddha has left, and his disciple can only stay in the Cultivation Sanctum. If you guys don't..."
"If we had the confidence to break through the Cultivation Sanctum, little friend would have probably drank and chatted rrily with us face to face long ago." The Xuantian Ancient King shook his head.
Su Chen was stumped and said crossly, "Your Excellency really knows how to joke."
Seeing that these people weren't prepared to take the risk, the Phantom Image returned again, while the several Ancient Kings left his Hall Door.
In Su Chen's pupils, the faint purple fire before him was reflected. "I hope it'll be in ti. But even if that strand of power is erased, it can at most delay the Imasurable Buddha for a while, since the general direction is already known."
"If he isn't completely killed, the Dust Star Sea will be exposed no matter what. Even if he is besieged and beaten to death by the Ancient Kings, the Buddha Land will still take notice."
"The exposure of the Dust Star Sea's coordinates seems to have beco a fact..." Su Chen pondered, his brows tightly furrowed. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.
"I wonder how the Abyssal Domain as a whole will deal with the Outer Realms. Hmm... maybe there's one person who knows."
Su Chen's heart stirred, and he then took out that bottle of Taixuan Tianyi's fresh blood. Now that the Imasurable Buddha had left, he could actually try communicating with the other party.
Doing as he said, he followed the steps he just learned from that ritual, using the fresh blood to draw incantations on the Faith Essence. The mont the last stroke fell, vigorous blood fire suddenly rose before his eyes.
.........
Seeing his Sect Master successfully force his way out, Kong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes lowered. "Once the Sect Master finds that place, he can report to the World-Honored One."
Finding the place where the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith fell but keeping it hidden from the World-Honored One had always left him anxious and apprehensive.
Turning his gaze, he looked at Taixuan Tianyi in the corner, his words gentle: "Patron Taixuan, could you tell a bit about that Taixuan Hong?"
Taixuan Hong? Taixuan Tianyi's expression was hesitant. "What aspect do you want to hear about?"
But after his expression flickered several tis, Taixuan Tianyi helplessly said, "I really don't know much about him. I only fought him once; he is extrely adept at speed."
"I see..." Kong Ming looked thoughtful. There didn't seem to be anything too special about him. To be able to pass the trial imdiately upon entering the 8th-Tier, could he have used so unknown thods?
He pointedly said, "The deep affection within your Taixuan family's bloodline is truly enviable. Even having only t once, the other party was still willing to spare your life."
"This..." Taixuan Tianyi froze, not knowing what to say.
Kong Ming didn't press the matter. He sat cross-legged on the ground, a Sharp Gleam rising and falling in his chest, preparing to nourish the Seven-Branch Wondrous Tree as he usually did.
But imdiately, he felt an emptiness in his chest, only then rembering that the Seven-Branch Wondrous Tree had long since disappeared. His expression darkened for a mont before he let out a helpless sigh.
"Taixuan Hong..." Taixuan Tianyi murmured in his heart. He originally suspected the other party's identity.
In his knowledge, the Taixuan family didn't have any surviving bloodlines left outside. Yet the Imasurable Buddha had said that there actually were, only that they were separated by vast distances and were unaware of each other.
This made him increasingly suspicious. Could the other party really be...
Suddenly, right at this mont, his heart suddenly palpitated, his heartbeat accelerating abruptly, and a voice faintly sounded in his ears, "Taixuan Tianyi?"
A bloodline ritual? This...
He was all too familiar with this feeling. He had used it frequently while fleeing with his clansn, and when paired with the Power of Faith, it could penetrate the Nether Mist.
But this was the Flare Realm. Besides him, there was only that Taixuan Hong.
Is he really a mber of my Taixuan Lineage?
Taixuan Tianyi found it unimaginable, yet also felt it was expected; it was extrely contradictory and bizarre.
He naturally knew how to respond and tentatively asked, "Taixuan Hong?"
"It's ." Hearing the response from the Ritual Array, Su Chen felt reassured. "How were you suddenly caught?"
Hearing this question, Taixuan Tianyi was silent for a mont before saying, "It's impossible to keep fleeing forever. Being caught is quite normal."
Detecting the resistance in his words, Su Chen didn't respond to that, rely asking, "What's the situation on your end? Why did the Imasurable Buddha suddenly run out?"
"This matter... is complicated to explain." Taixuan Tianyi pondered. "He originally harbored a certain objective toward that Dust Star Sea."
"What objective?" Su Chen pressed.
"I don't know the specifics. He and Kong Ming hid almost all their conversations from ." Taixuan Tianyi shook his head. "However, according to my estimation, it should be related to the eight Radiant Moons of the Dust Star Sea."
"Eight Radiant Moons?" Su Chen was slightly stunned. "How do you know that the Dust Star Sea has eight Radiant Moons?"
Although the Dust Star Sea only had six living Radiant Moons now, counting throughout history, there indeed had been eight.
One of them turned into the Crimson Evil God, while another was forged into the Galaxy Throne.
But those Ancient Kings absolutely couldn't have revealed this information to this Taixuan Tianyi.
"Because..." At this point, for so reason, Su Chen felt Taixuan Tianyi's voice beco much colder and deeper, "Because the eight Radiant Moons of the Dust Star Sea are the eight that fled during the Mist-Fall Calamity."
"And what is the Mist-Fall Calamity?" Su Chen muttered to himself.
Originally, this Taixuan Hong identity was just sothing he casually ca up with to deal with the Ancient Kings outside.
But as ti went on, and various events occurred, this identity vaguely beca more solid, which had so benefits.
At least when communicating with this Taixuan Tianyi, the other party didn't have too many ulterior motives.
However, because of this, there were so questions he couldn't ask directly, so he had to feign surprise and say, "So it was the Mist-Fall Calamity."
"Exactly, it was precisely that Mist-Fall Calamity that drove the Holy Sovereign mad!" Taixuan Tianyi was now sowhat Gnashing Teeth:
"Back then, eight Radiant Moons from various factions colluded with The Final Ruin of the Nether Realm to stir up the Mist-Fall Calamity, causing heavy casualties among nurous factions."
"The Holy Sovereign was consequently targeted by The Final Ruin, and ultimately went mad and perished."
