"Is this the legendary land of the sealed spirit?" Liu Yunfeng furrowed his brows and sighed softly, "Such means are truly breathtaking, to seal such a vast area and completely eliminate the spirit energy here. Turning it into a true land of the mundane. However, doing so... will indeed lead to big cause and effect!"

"Compared to the act itself they committed, this is hardly big cause and effect. But speaking of big cause and effect, hehe, the Buddhist Sect has indeed borne it." Zi Dao said this and smirked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo nodded, his knowledge of the Buddhist Sect's past was not something he could speak on. But he did have a say in the present state of the Buddhist Sect.

Just then, suddenly, a thunderous boom sounded from the sky, and a somewhat piercing voice burst out: "Tell grandpa, what has the Buddhist Sect endured?"

This voice gave the trio quite a start, but soon, their faces all showed excitement.

The Great Saint!

That monkey!

Chu Mo took a deep breath and said, "The Buddhist Sect has long since departed from the Luotian Immortal Domain, now they have declined and withered."

After he finished speaking, for a long while, no sound came from the void.

Chu Mo thought the other party would burst into wild laughter, but there was not the slightest noise. He exchanged looks with Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng. They were both confused.

After a long time, a sobbing sound suddenly came from the void. It was actually crying!

The three of them were all stunned, not understanding what this was all about.

Soon, that sobbing sound was suddenly replaced by laughter.

"Wahahahahahahahaha, hahahahaha..."

"Old Buddha, you also have such a day? You took action to suppress Grandpa Great Saint, and what is the outcome? Still couldn't escape annihilation, could you?"

"How come you didn't ascend to a Supreme Buddha?"

"How come you didn't receive Immeasurable merit?"

"I said back then, suppressing me would bring you no benefit! Hahahahahaha, decayed and withered... you refused to accept me, and still talk about laying down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha instantly? Ridiculous, ridiculous! Hahahahaha!"

The monkey's uproarious laughter, for some reason, sounded full of sorrow to the three listeners. It was not a happy laugh, nor was it crying from extreme joy. It was an emotion filled with sadness.

Time passed, and eventually, the voice lowered gradually, until only a sigh remained: "What does it matter whether one succeeds or fails? In the end, dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, in the end, it's all just emptiness; how is the suffering of sentient beings, how is their joy? These are their own choices! What does the appearance of all sentient beings have to do with you? Wouldn't it be better to just be your own Buddha? Aiming too high with grand vows, in the end, it only wounds your own heart and body."

The three looked at each other, somewhat understanding and somewhat not. It seemed the monkey was talking about the Buddha who had personally suppressed it. But from these words, they could hardly hear any resentment. What they felt... seemed to be endless lament.

"Enough, the three of you little fellas, come over here and let me take a look at you?" The voice thundered, pressing down so heavily that it seemed the entire sky would crack open.

All three of their heads throbbed with tearing pain, and they couldn't help but show shock on their faces.

This Great Saint, even Zi Dao didn't know exactly how many years he had been suppressed here. In any case, it was a very, very long time. In such a sealed spirit land, his cultivation seemed to have not been damaged at all. This truly was a remarkable miracle.

The closer the three of them walked, the more they could feel an immense pressure. There seemed to be no aura here at all, but the three felt their steps growing heavier and heavier. They were also becoming more and more frightened. In a place like this, if it were used to suppress cultivators of their Supreme Realm, they would probably be crushed to death on the spot.

"Too weak, far too weak, look at your frail appearances, can't even walk a few steps?" The rumbling voice came from the sky again.

All three gave wry smiles.

Chu Mo said, "It's because your cultivation is too profound."

"Is that so?" The rumbling voice sounded somewhat doubtful, then said, "No, no, it's because you are too weak!"

"..." Chu Mo was speechless and chose to remain silent.

The voice continued, "Do you know who I am? What purpose do you have coming here? Tell me, who sent you?"

Phew!

Zi Dao exhaled deeply, standing there and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

A mighty peak half-Holy actually sweating. This feeling was too rare for Zi Dao. He sighed, "I grew up listening to the legends of the Great Saint, greatly admiring Great Saint in my heart..."

"Nonsense, nonsense! Absolute nonsense... utterly nauseating!" The sharp voice in the void, full of disdain, scoffed, "I detest that sanctimonious way of talking the most, get someone else to speak, or just scram! Don't think I can't blow you away with a single breath just because I'm suppressed here!"

"..." Zi Dao was covered in sweat, finally experiencing what was meant by unpredictability of moods.

Liu Yunfeng has always been articulate, but now he was somewhat trembling as he turned his gaze to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo thought for a moment and said, "We are here to release you."

"Aiyoh hey... that's quite interesting, little guy, you say you say, do you have the ability to release me? Do you really have that ability? Boasting so boldly, who do you think you are? If it were a Great Saint Realm cultivator… hmm, even one from the Great Saint Realm wouldn't suffice, too weak, too weak, not even worth one strike of my rod... If it were a cultivator from the ancestral realm, then maybe, just barely. What do you think this seal of mine is?" The voice thundered, still filled with disdain.

"We are too weak, but the key is that you are strong. You could teach us something. After all these years, has anyone else been here besides us?" Chu Mo said with great confidence.

Indeed, to pass through that toxic miasma and the terrifying area where human Dao is obliterated is something not even ordinary Great Saints could achieve.

"How could there be none? A young monk came by a few decades ago, but I drove him away. That little monk, hehehehe, was as naive as a fool, actually saying he wanted me to be his bodyguard, protecting him while he sought after the true scriptures. Pah, where do true scriptures come from in this world? He's more delusional than Buddha! A little monk with insignificant Daoist achievements, yet thinking of enlightening all beings. Hoping to turn every creature towards kindness. Utterly naive to the extreme. I laughed myself to death. If the human heart could be enlightened by a few true scriptures, this world would have been wonderful long ago." In the sky, the monkey's voice rang out.

Chu Mo and his brothers exchanged glances, never expecting that someone had indeed made it here before them. And according to the Great Saint's words, the visitor's Daoist achievements were not great, so his cultivation level couldn't have been very high. How did he cross this forbidden area?

At this time, the monkey's voice rang out again: "The little monk was persistent and stayed here with me for three years. Later I got annoyed, and with one breath, I blew him away, and he never came back. I don't know if he was unlucky enough to have fallen into the poisonous miasma and died."

"..." Chu Mo and the others all had exasperated looks on their faces.

The trio continued forward, the pressure growing stronger with each step, making it increasingly difficult to walk.

Chu Mo pondered for a while and suddenly began to recite the Buddha's Six Syllables of Truth.

In the instant that the Six Syllables of Truth were recited, Chu Mo suddenly felt his body lighten, as if the overwhelming invisible pressure around him disappeared without a trace!

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng were both stunned, staring at Chu Mo with a blank expression.

Chu Mo said to them: "Brothers, if you can't keep up, then wait here. I'll go ahead and take a look."

The Great Saint was mercurial, who knew whether it would just blow them away with a puff? It was better for him to go ahead and check things out first.

Zi Dao, though surprised by Chu Mo's sudden transformation, didn't question further but nodded: "We'll walk slowly; enduring this pressure has its benefits for our cultivation."

Liu Yunfeng also nodded: "Right, I was thinking the same thing, Third Brother, be careful."

Chu Mo acknowledged them and then quickly walked towards the base of the mountain.

At that moment, the monkey's voice was full of surprise: "Eh? Little brat, you actually know this? You have a profound connection with the Buddha, yeah!"

"A bit," Chu Mo admitted frankly.

Since the monkey himself has such a deep connection with Buddha, it meant it was very familiar with the divine abilities of the Buddha. Therefore, there was no point in lying to it.

"How interesting, you actually know this? In that case, you really might be able to release me," the monkey said with some astonishment, then suddenly asked in a harsh tone: "Little brat, you possess the divine abilities of the Buddha and also have the power of the Daoist Sect. Tell me, what have you come for? If you want to release me, what's your plan?"

By the end of the question, the monkey's voice had become slightly threatening.

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng, who were struggling against the pressure, both stopped in their tracks, concern evident on their faces.

Chu Mo said, "A group of supreme beings wants to kill me. But I heard they are all a bit preoccupied now, suffering backlash from their past deceptions. They are all in recuperation. But I am still worried because under them, there are many terrifyingly powerful cultivators from the Great Saint Realm. They want to kill me, and I still can't defend myself. So, I want to release you, stir the waters of this Luotian Universe, and buy myself some time."

"..." Zi Dao turned pale.

"..." Liu Yunfeng's face looked ashen.

The pair almost went mad, thinking, Third Brother, are you courting death? Your honesty is fine, but do you need to be so forthright? Isn't this basically telling the Great Saint that you want to use him once you release him?

If you can succeed with this approach, now that would be truly unbelievable.

Well, no need for us to push forward, might as well wait to collect Third Brother's corpse...

Silence.

After Chu Mo finished speaking, the whole world fell into deathly silence.

After a long while, the monkey's laughter suddenly erupted: "Haha... hahahahaha... hahahahahahaha!" His voice was filled with endless joy like a happy child.

This completely dumbfounded Liu Yunfeng and Zi Dao.

The fist Chu Mo had been clenching quietly relaxed. A bead of sweat slid down his forehead, unnoticed.
