"The Hunyuan Mirror is still here; could it be that all of this is real?"

Ye Beixuan looked at the familiar Hunyuan Mirror in his storage ring and muttered.

Feng Qiongyu said: "Senior Brother, all of this is naturally real."

Ye Beixuan asked: "Who came to this Grand Ceremony? Did Master and Eldest Senior Brother come?"

Feng Qiongyu asked with a face full of confusion: "Senior Brother, what are you saying? Did your Master not already enter the Holy Academy? Furthermore, you do not have an Eldest Senior Brother."

Ye Beixuan did not ask further. Although he had a hundred doubts about his whereabouts, the thing to do now was to first determine whether he was truly in an illusion.

Soon, he took Feng Qiongyu to the Grand Ceremony and looked at the familiar faces of the Dao Seeking Academy.

Ye Beixuan began to suspect that everything that happened on Miaomiao Mountain was a dream, a dream produced by his own cultivation.

If this was truly the case, then the Saint Tribulation he encountered was also just a dream. However, this was not a bad thing; if he could absorb experience from it, then he would definitely be able to become a Saint.

Just as Ye Beixuan and Feng Qiongyu were immersed in the illusion.

In the depths of the oasis, inside a magnificent temple.

An Eight-Armed Buddha slowly opened his eyes and muttered: "I did not expect that this time, this Seat could actually harvest a fellow who is the reincarnation of a Half-Saint. If I can incorporate his Divine Soul into this Seat's Buddha Kingdom, then this Seat will definitely be able to become a Buddha on the spot.

"At that time, the entire Demon Domain will belong to this Seat. At that time, I will be able to leave this damnable place, and the Xuantian Continent will also become this Seat's hunting ground, hahaha..."

The Eight-Armed Buddha Demon did not think about seeking trouble with the Phoenix Clan. In his memory, the Phoenix Clan had a Divine Emperor presiding over it.

Even if he became a Saint, he would not be an opponent for those powerhouses; developing in secret was the most correct choice.

As for the enmity between the Demon Emperor and the Phoenix Clan, what did it have to do with him, the Eight-Armed Buddha Demon?

He immediately placed his divine consciousness on Ye Beixuan. As long as this brat fell completely into the Buddha Kingdom, the opportunity to harvest the Divine Soul would arrive.

His Buddha Kingdom and the Divine Domain were worlds apart. Only when a cultivator bewildered by the Buddha Kingdom completely believed in everything they saw could the Buddha Kingdom slowly swallow their Divine Soul completely, finally merging as one with the Buddha Kingdom.

The Eight-Armed Buddha Demon also enjoyed this process very much; he called it 'salvation'.

Therefore, the Eight-Armed Buddha Demon was different from other Demon Race Great Sages. He had no subordinates. As long as a holy spirit entered the oasis, whether human or demon, they would be 'saved' by him, using this to enhance his own strength.

And this oasis was also called a forbidden ground by all magical creatures.

Inside the illusion, after Ye Beixuan finished attending the Grand Ceremony, he returned to his own courtyard at the first opportunity.

He began to organize his thoughts, planning to find some useful things from them to help his cultivation.

Unknown how much time passed, the cultivation method taught to him by "Master" Chu Feng suddenly flashed through Ye Beixuan's mind.

Among it, the Hunyuan True Intent he comprehended was the strongest True Intent he had seen in his life. If he walked upon the Hunyuan Great Dao, his future achievements would be far more than just a Saint.

Ye Beixuan began to cultivate the technique "Master" taught him, and soon he comprehended the Hunyuan True Intent.

Feeling the Hunyuan Purple Qi within his body, Ye Beixuan was exceptionally joyful in his heart.

Sure enough, it could be cultivated successfully. It seemed that the Sitting Oblivion Path did have some substance. However, that technique was too profound and could not be cultivated continuously, to avoid mental derangement appearing again.

Seeing the technique Ye Beixuan was cultivating, the Eight-Armed Buddha Demon muttered: "This brat really is somewhat extraordinary. This Seat is actually curious about exactly what things he can come up with later."

Ye Beixuan could not stop after cultivating the Hunyuan Creation Sutra. As the Hunyuan Purple Qi in his body increased, his Hunyuan True Intent soon reached Great Perfection, and he was only one step away from comprehending the Hunyuan True Meaning.

He was not in a hurry to take that step. Instead, he constantly recalled the cultivation process of his two lives in the Sitting Oblivion Dao within his mind.

As time passed day by day, Ye Beixuan's Divine Soul gradually merged into the Buddha Kingdom. Just at the instant when half of his Divine Soul was swallowed by the Buddha Kingdom.

Ye Beixuan suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart. The accumulation of two lives erupted at this moment, and the Great Dao True Meaning in his body also transformed into the Hunyuan True Meaning.

A wisp of Hunyuan Purple Light suddenly emitted from his Divine Soul, dispelling the Buddha Kingdom shrouding him, and his Divine Soul returned to his body from the Buddha Kingdom.

At the same time, the Ye Beixuan in the illusion also saw a light. That was a Hunyuan Purple Light that broke through the horizon, and he subconsciously walked following that light.

Unknowingly, Ye Beixuan passed through the Hunyuan Purple Light, and the scene before his eyes underwent a huge change, with a peach blossom forest reflecting in his eyes.

Ye Beixuan looked at the scene before him, the corners of his mouth rising slightly: "Buddha Demon, thank you. You allowed me to comprehend the Hunyuan True Meaning."

"Originally, I would have needed eight to ten years to comprehend this Hunyuan True Meaning. That illusion technique of yours actually allowed me to combine the experiences of two lives and enter into a sudden enlightenment."

After speaking, he immediately emitted the Hunyuan True Meaning from his body. A purple light shrouded him and the dazed Feng Qiongyu beside him.

Feng Qiongyu, who originally had her eyes closed tight, abruptly opened her eyes. She looked around with a bewildered face and muttered: "Senior Brother, what happened to us?"

Ye Beixuan explained unhurriedly: "We fell for the Buddha Demon's trick. However, his means are merely so-so. Buddha Demon, why do you not show yourself quickly? Otherwise, we are going to leave."

"Noisy!"

A majestic voice came from the depths of the peach forest.

Accompanying it was a burst of violent trembling sounds. The earth seemed to crack open, and even the sky changed color along with it.

"Senior Brother, look ahead."

Feng Qiongyu pointed to the front and said with a stunned expression.

Ye Beixuan looked in the direction Feng Qiongyu pointed. He saw a huge Buddhist temple slowly rising into the sky, subsequently freezing in mid-air.

That was a Buddhist temple emitting dazzling Buddha light. The brilliant Buddha light dyed the sky golden.

Wherever the Buddha light reached, the vitality of all living things burst forth.

Ye Beixuan felt this Buddha light and subconsciously held the Sword Jade in his hand, the corners of his mouth rising slightly: "Buddha Demon, you are finally willing to show yourself."

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from the Buddhist temple, and the Buddha Demon's majestic voice came again.

"This Seat has underestimated you. However, do you think that relying on the Great Dao True Meaning you just comprehended, you can block this Seat's tens of thousands of years of insights? Even if you add your two lifetimes together, you are not this Seat's opponent!!!"

Ye Beixuan smiled and said: "Whether I can win or not, do we not have to fight first to know the ending?"

"What a sharp-tongued junior. Today, this Seat will let you know that there are gaps even between Half-Saints, let alone you, who are currently just a tiny Dao Integration cultivator."

As the words fell, a stalwart figure slowly walked out from the Buddhist temple...
