Mu Jinyu quickly led the many bishops of the Brilliant Divine Authority back to Mount Song from the Vatican.

Penetrating through the Mountain Protection Array where Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Mu Jinyu stopped the Flying Shuttle and let the bishops disembark.

"Is this the Spirit Mountain where Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere? It seems even stronger than our Holy City..."

"The Buddha's Light is indeed richer than that of our Holy City!"

The many bishops of the Brilliant Divine Authority quickly glanced at Mount Song and made their judgment, their eyes showing a hint of envy.

"Dragon King, this way please..."

At the mountain gate, several monks respectfully invited them to the guest hall to discuss together upon seeing Mu Jinyu's return.

Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, then invited the somewhat nervous bishops, "Everyone, let's go together. It's time for us to rely on you."

"Alright."

The dozens of cardinals, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, suppressed their inner tension, nodded to Mu Jinyu, and followed the monks to the guest hall.

At the guest hall, the monks of Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere were already engaged in a fierce debate with the Taoists of the Way of Nature.

Neither side would concede to the other.

"Dragon King, you're back. Please perform that spell again to see if our discovered Buddhist Law has the effect of counteracting Demonic Qi..."

"Dragon King, just perform the spell! I want this bald-headed bunch to know that our Taoist Law is the correct one!"

With the word "bald-head" said, the hall immediately erupted into another noisy chaos.

Mu Jinyu, feeling a headache from listening, said, "I'll just teach this spell to you, so you can experiment and find your own suitable method."

Pausing, Mu Jinyu pointed to the cardinals of the Brilliant Divine Authority behind him and introduced, "By the way, I've also invited these idle bishops of the Brilliant Divine Authority over. A blend of East and West might spark even more dazzling insights..."

The monks and Taoists exchanged glances upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, then looked at the people of the Brilliant Divine Authority with playful yet determined eyes.

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism had now escalated into an East-West clash!

They found it even more interesting now!

Maybe they would even team up to uncover the flaws in the Brilliant Divine Authority's cultivation method!

Sheng Rulai and Ning Fan were also present but had not spoken. They showed no reaction to Mu Jinyu inviting the Brilliant Divine Authority, merely nodding slightly as they continued to ponder solutions in silence.

Afterward, Mu Jinyu taught the spell learned from Xilin to everyone present, allowing them to experiment by themselves whenever they had an epiphany without waiting for him to return. Thus, they could reveal the Demonic Qi in someone and attempt solutions devised by themselves.

Mu Jinyu had no intention of hiding this spell. While it was mysterious, it only served as a detection tool for Demonic Qi. Once a definitive solution was found, it wouldn't be feasible for him alone to check the entire nation, let alone the world, to see if anyone had issues.

Sooner or later, he would need to teach it to others to enable self-checks and self-solutions...

He never had any intention of keeping the spell secret from the start.

Soon, the monks, Taoists, and bishops present all learned this spell from Mu Jinyu. They then brought in a pitiful young monk and performed the spell, revealing the Demonic Qi within him.

"Hmm, it truly works!"

"Come, Nian Chi, practice my Buddhist Law first and see if you can expel the Demonic Qi within you!"

"No, you should practice my Sword Technique first; it is surely more suitable..."

"Oh, come on! Now that you've learned the detection spell, why should our Nian Chi serve as your test subject? Your Taoist Law has plenty of people infested with Demonic Qi—just find a few of them and conduct your experiments!"

"Ah, but all those people are on Dragon Tiger Mountain, and it would take a long time to get them here. Time does not wait for you, don't you know? We should set aside sectarian views now and quickly find a solution!"

"What you say makes sense. Liao Xin, call those fallen brothers to have everyone try their ways together then..."

"Alright then..."

The monks of Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere were initially unwilling to let their fallen monks be test subjects for the Taoists of the Way of Nature but were persuaded before long to give it a try.

This put those monks in a difficult position, as they had never learned any basic Taoist techniques, and were now being forced to study advanced ones abruptly.

Unbeknownst to them, as soon as those from the Brilliant Divine Authority began discussing and uncovering divine arts, they would have to learn those arts to see if they can counteract Demonic Qi!

Mu Jinyu observed the good atmosphere among them, but since he didn't quite understand these matters, he did not join in.

He thought for a while and decided to let them continue experimenting. If their acquired Buddhist, Taoist, and divine methods finally proved ineffective against the Demonic Qi, he would consider creating a cultivation technique to resolve the issue himself.

For now, it's better to find Mu Shao'ai.

Invite him to join in as well.

Thus, Mu Jinyu bid farewell to Sheng Rulai and Ning Fan and set off for Mount Tai again.

As he journeyed toward Mount Tai, he sent a Communication Talisman to briefly inform Mu Shao'ai of the trouble and significance of this matter!

From a distance, Mu Jinyu barely caught sight of Mount Tai when Mu Shao'ai's figure appeared before him.

"Wow, how come you have so many things going on here? I'm starting to regret coming with you!"

As soon as Mu Shao'ai saw Mu Jinyu, he began to complain with endless resentment.

First, he heeded Mu Jinyu's advice to come ambush the Heavenly Maiden of the Divine Race from another world at Mount Tai, and then Mu Jinyu said they should go to the Mesopotamian Plain in three days to confront the founder of Paradise Lost.

Now, not even a day into those three days, another troublesome matter had arisen.

Some omniscient traitor, Chu Tiance, had staged a shocking drama of kidnapping all humanity, forcing him to stop searching Mount Tai and go to Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere to find a solution.

"What's there to regret? Could your old master really ignore all this?" Mu Jinyu heard his master's complaints and took it in stride with a laugh.

"But this is so troublesome. I'd rather wait at the Mesopotamian Plain for the founder of Paradise Lost and resolve him instead!" Mu Shao'ai exclaimed with some frustration.

The thought of getting involved in the discussions among the Three Realms of Buddhism, Taoism, and Deities gave him a headache!

And having to find suitable scriptures to harmonize toward a fitting solution felt even more burdensome and annoying!

Mu Jinyu smiled, saying, "Master, aren't you the one who prides himself on being knowledgeable across ancient and modern wisdom, versed in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism? Why such a woebegone look now?"

Pausing for a moment, Mu Jinyu suspiciously eyed Mu Shao'ai and speculated, "Could it be that you were bluffing before?"

Mu Shao'ai was so angry he blew his beard and glared at Mu Jinyu, saying, "Get lost, stop provoking me, I'm fed up. Anyway, I'll get involved in this matter now, and as for teaming up to ambush someone in the Mesopotamian Plain in three days, figure it out yourself. I'm out!"
