"HISS! A Primordial Golden Immortal was suppressed just like that?"

"Terrifying!"

"Who is this Holy Monk? He is so powerful!"

"A Divine Emperor Level cultivation, and he has comprehended the Three Thousand Buddha Gods Level—simply unimaginable!"

"Indeed, the world is too dangerous. It's better for me to keep a low profile!"

"The Yin Yang Sect is finished!"

In Qing State, and even throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Region, countless experts were in an uproar. Each of them was deeply shocked, firmly engraving in their memory the dignified Buddha figure and the Innate Supreme Treasure, Buddha Country of Ling Mountain.

「Yaochi.」

"Does anyone here recognize the Holy Monk who just appeared?" Duanmu Xi looked at Ji Yue and the other Daluo Golden Immortals of Yaochi. She did not believe the other party had appeared by coincidence and then suppressed Yang Po Chu and the experts from the Yin Yang Sect simply because they displeased him.

"I have never seen him before, nor have I even heard of this Holy Monk. Even his Innate Treasure is unheard of!" Ji Yue shook her head. For experts like Primordial Golden Immortals, they usually knew something about them, especially those who possessed an Innate Treasure. Even if such a powerful individual was not well-known, the fame of an Innate Treasure tended to spread easily. Moreover, every Innate Treasure has its own traceable origin. It cannot simply appear out of thin air.

"I have never seen him either!"

"Me neither!"

The crowd spoke one after another.

Duanmu Xi grew even more puzzled. Could this Holy Monk have connections with other sages of Yaochi, leading him to intervene on their behalf?

"Ancestor, when I saw the Holy Monk, I felt a sense of familiarity, as if I've seen him before, but I am certain I have never met him. I don't know if it's just an illusion!" Ji Hongxia spoke up weakly.

Instantly, all eyes turned towards her.

"At the Daluo Golden Immortal level, one's perception is extremely sharp. Since you have a feeling, it cannot be an illusion!" Duanmu Xi's voice was exceptionally certain. She quickly asked, "Does he remind you of anyone you know? Or could he be backed by some powerful faction? You say you don't know him, but it's possible that you have seen him, just not in that form!"

"Could it be Hongmeng?" Before Ji Hongxia could speak, Ji Yue exclaimed. Ji Yue had been managing Yaochi's affairs recently. Unlike Duanmu Xi and the others, who were either in seclusion or busy with other matters, leaving them no time for Yaochi's affairs, they were still unaware of Hongmeng.

"Who is Hongmeng?" Duanmu Xi asked. She had only emerged from seclusion today after sensing Yang Po Chu's aura, so she was unaware of any other matters.

"Hongmeng is..." Ji Yue quickly recounted the recent series of events that had unfolded in Yaochi.

Duanmu Xi pondered for a moment, her eyes thoughtful, then said, "It's indeed possible. However, if this expert is also one of Hongmeng's backers, then the force behind him is probably quite formidable! The person who acted last time used a Demonic Sword Innate Treasure. This time, it was an Innate Supreme Treasure, the Buddha Country of Ling Mountain. And the expert who killed Yin Kun used yet another Clock-Type Innate Treasure. Not to mention their strength; the mere fact that this backer could produce three Innate Treasures is already difficult to imagine."

"Then, we..." someone asked hesitantly.

"These are all speculations. Just proceed as usual," Duanmu Xi said. So far, whether it was Hongmeng or the Holy Monk, both had shown goodwill towards Yaochi, and naturally, they should not disrupt this goodwill. Everyone has secrets. Since the other party chose to conceal his identity, he did not wish to be known. By probing too deeply, they would only cause annoyance and gain nothing in return.

Was Hongmeng unaware that Duanmu Xi and the others had begun to speculate about his 'backer'? Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

At this moment, he was busy using the Mount Ling Buddha Country to convert Yang Po Chu as well as the four Daluo Golden Immortals of the Yin Yang Sect.

Within the Mount Ling Buddha Country's inner world, Buddhist chants reverberated. Rich Buddhist power flowed down like tides, incessantly washing over the minds and wills of Yang Po Chu and the four Daluo Golden Immortals with him.

"No, please, spare me!"

"I'm willing to submit! I'm willing to recognize you as my master! Holy Monk, spare my life!"

One Daluo Golden Immortal after another pleaded in terror. They could feel their minds and wills being twisted, their consciousness rapidly blurring. Once converted, they would become complete puppets. Therefore, they would rather pledge allegiance and be commanded by Hongmeng than be converted into puppets.

Unfortunately, Hongmeng paid them no heed. Empowered by the Divine Emperor Level Path of Supreme Exclusivity and the Three Thousand Buddha Gods Level, the Mount Ling Buddha Country was filled with endless Buddhist chants. Every note seemed like Dao Runes, imprinting deeply within their souls, branding their very True Spirit essence.

"AAAH!"

"Bald donkey, just you wait!"

"One day, when the Yin Yang Ancestor returns, he will not spare you..."

"He will not spare you!"

The four Daluo Golden Immortals let out their final, indignant roars. Immediately afterward, their minds and wills were twisted, their consciousness completely blurred, and they became protector puppets of the Mount Ling Buddha Country.

As the four Daluo Golden Immortals were converted, the power of the Mount Ling Buddha Country climbed to a new level. The pressure on Yang Po Chu, who was at the Chaos Golden Immortal Realm, suddenly increased. He struggled desperately. It felt as if the entire universe was pressing down on his back, making it difficult for him to move. He could only struggle to resist the pervasive Buddhist chants and Buddhist power. These Buddhist chants and Buddhist power continuously infiltrated his body, twisting his mind and will, seeking to assimilate him—or rather, convert him—into a protector puppet of the Mount Ling Buddha Country.

Hongmeng sensed the situation inside and mused, Primordial Golden Immortals are indeed formidable. At this rate, it will probably take at least three months to fully convert him! Three months isn't actually long; for experts at or above the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, it's extremely short.
