Chapter 3668 Cleansing Technique

"It's over, it's over!"

The pagoda door was opened, and a white-haired Taoist priest ran out.

Later, it was Zhang Xuezhou and his gang, who had caused the trouble, who chased after them.

The Buddhist disciple looked at the nine-zhang-tall pagoda treasure, then at the secret chamber in the distance that had been destroyed by Zhang Xuezhou and his men.

If everything could be restored, he could be said to have barely managed to protect the secret place of Mount Milu, thus avoiding punishment.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou and others took something, as long as he keeps a record, the Western Church can hold them accountable later.

The current situation has exceeded his expectations, and Master Shi Gong believes that things have most likely gone wrong.

"Parvati, let's go, let's go!"

His sickly body became healthy, and he no longer looked sickly.

Quickly pulling Parvati along, the Buddhist disciple chose to flee from the secret realm of Mount Miru.

"You two thieves, don't run!"

The Buddhist monk could only make a show of pursuing, regardless of whether he could catch up or not, he would just chase after them first.

Parvati, skilled in flight, spun the icy wind, pulling him downwards.

Where did they go?

The Buddha turned to look at Parvati, who opened her dark mouth and made an "ah ah ah" sound.

"If I had the chance, I would kill that old bastard!"

The naive Parvati suffered greatly under the guidance of the Buddha Shi Gong. Lacking the qualifications to enter the secret realm of Mount Meru, Parvati had to have his tongue cut out in accordance with the rules, and flames appeared in the eyes of the Buddha Shi Gong.

He looked at the disappearing light in the distance and felt that the secrets of the Western Sect were most likely related to the pagoda opened by Zhang Xuezhou and others.

Although he was aware of the situation, he lacked the power to participate.

All these things made him feel extremely frustrated, and his temperament inevitably became distorted.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, he was momentarily at a loss as to where to go or what to do.

His strength was already very high, but he was just one step short of the top level. This one step was the dividing line between dragon and snake, and he was thus completely suppressed. Not to mention that they were also controlled by the two leaders.

"You mean someone else went in to inspect Mount Milu?"

As they continued their descent, the Buddha lost track of Zhang Xuezhou and the others, while Parvati discovered that someone else had come to inspect Mount Milu.

This made the Buddhist disciple feel somewhat anxious and uncertain.

He felt that the secret place of Mount Milu would inevitably be turned upside down, causing huge trouble, and the two leaders would likely be implicated, leading to unpredictable consequences.

This could even lead to the downfall of the leaders, but just thinking about the collapse of the Western Religion after its destruction, with so many people scattered and no longer having any influence in the Western Religion, he felt a strange emptiness in his heart.

"Ignore them. Go find Brahma and Vishnu now. They should be hunting demons in the west right now. Quickly find them and discuss with them to see if we can find an opportunity for ourselves!"

The Buddha pointed in a direction, and Parvati quickly waved his sleeves, changing the direction of the pursuit of Zhang Xuezhou and the others, turning towards the place indicated by the Buddha.

"I've fallen behind?"

Not only was Master Shi Gong unable to catch up with Zhang Xuezhou and the others' whereabouts, but Zhenyuan Shenjun also lost track of them.

He and Zhang Xuezhou flew from Duanhun Ridge all the way to Xiniu Hezhou. Zhenyuan Shenjun didn't feel anything special at the time. But when he used his true abilities to chase after them, Zhenyuan Shenjun found that his flying speed was lagging behind and he couldn't catch up with the two in front of him at all. He even lost track of the direction he was following.

"Who are these people? How come they are all so strong?" It was one thing for Zhang Xuezhou to explode, and Zhenyuan Shenjun felt he could accept it, since they were all acquaintances. But Zhenyuan Shenjun couldn't accept that a powerful cultivator had jumped out of the treasure, and that the other party was likely stronger than him.

When even such a powerful cultivator ended up being locked up in a treasure, Zhenyuan Divine Lord suddenly felt that his abilities were limited, and his arrogance was suppressed time and time again.

He waved his long sleeves and flew through the air, not seeking to catch up at top speed, but simply flying forward to see if Zhang Xuezhou would eventually catch up or lose him.

"To be honest, I don't understand why Dongfang Shuo wanted to pursue him. He's not like those two old fogies from the Western Sect. Does he have some secret?"

Zhenyuan Shenjun didn't understand, nor did he think much about it, since it would be simpler to ask Zhang Xuezhou when he returned.

Zhenyuan Shenjun drifted along, and after traveling only a few dozen miles, he saw Zhang Xuezhou standing on a boulder, with an old man with white hair standing at the other end.

"Is this the end of the pursuit?"

Zhenyuan Shenjun had no idea that he had lost his target, but after flying around haphazardly for a while, he actually caught up with it.

"Why didn't it fly?"

Zhenyuan Shenjun shouted, and Zhang Xuezhou turned around and looked over.

"There's something wrong with his Yang Soul Body; it must be leaking!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the white-haired old man in front of him.

Many years ago, Zhang Xuezhou's head was opened by Chunyu Tiying to remove the curse, which caused his two bridges of heaven and earth to break. Whenever his magical power is full to a certain threshold, it will leak out.

No matter how hard one tries to cultivate, this drawback will render the cultivator's cultivation fruitless.

Zhang Xuezhou almost succumbed to this illness as well. He accepted all kinds of rare and precious herbs without hesitation, regardless of the side effects, and he also cultivated his physical body before finally repairing his two bridges of heaven and earth.

The white-haired old man's situation was similar to his, but it was destined that the other party would find it difficult to make up for this deficiency.

"Your Yang Soul Body cannot consume rare and precious materials, so your chances of repairing yourself are very slim!"

Zhang Xuezhou spoke.

In fact, this was not the first time he had spoken up, but the white-haired old man had simply ignored him.

"Does this flaw of his necessitate a return to that magic pagoda?"

Zhenyuan Shenjun flew closer and saw that the other party's body was leaking air like a sieve.

This is probably the main reason why the white-haired old man stopped flying away; if he continued flying, his body would likely disintegrate.

“His physical condition may be due to the influence of the magic pagoda, coupled with the stimulation of the spell casting and the different external environment. Going back will require his body to adapt, which may worsen his illness,” Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and then said to the white-haired old man, “If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Celestial Lord Laozi’s Shuqing Body, right?”

"Is he also Laozi?" Zhenyuan Shenjun asked in surprise.

“He must have developed his own consciousness. I wonder if he acknowledges this matter,” Zhang Xuezhou pondered. “The Great Wilderness Creation Scripture and the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique don’t have a case of such a long-term separation. He can recover in the short term, but it’s hard to say what will happen in the long term. Moreover, Laozi’s Three Pure Ones have one living, one dead, and one imprisoned, and their states are all different. It should be difficult for them to return to their original state!”

"Aren't the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture and the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique Zhu Jiuyin's cultivation methods?" Zhenyuan Divine Lord said, "Why does Laozi also cultivate these?"

"These two methods were passed down by the Sage Hongjun. Their cultivation methods and circumstances are different!"

Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the man was doomed to fail due to his dire condition.

The Yang Soul's body was formed from condensed magical power, while the opponent's Yang Soul contained a pale yellow aura from a pagoda.

If one is inside a pagoda, this aura might be able to keep the Yang Soul Body stable and prevent it from being attacked, but once one regains freedom, it becomes a vulnerability in the Yang Soul Body.

If the Yang Soul cannot expel these foreign energies, the opponent's body will continuously leak magical power until the entire body is exhausted.

Returning to the pagoda would also mean certain death for the opponent. Once this aura completely erodes the white-haired old man's Yang Soul Body, the foundation upon which he built his Yang Soul Body will cease to exist, ultimately leading to his soul being scattered.
