Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 135 Extreme wisdom will inevitably hurt you
A hundred years ago, the abbot of Fusheng Temple was Master Yuanjue, who had three disciples.

The first is Huiming, with kind eyes and a benevolent demeanor, known as the "Venerable Long Eyebrows." He was the first to join the sect and the oldest, and he always took good care of his fellow disciples, thus gaining the widest network of contacts and the greatest popularity.

The second is Huifan, a pot-bellied man often called "the bitter-smiling Maitreya." He is a dishonest person who often wanders down the mountain and breaks his precepts. He is often punished for this and is a frequent visitor to the precepts center.

The third was Huishang, handsome and elegant. Despite his bald head, he exuded a detached demeanor and extraordinary bearing. He was the last to cultivate, but his progress was not slow at all, reaching the state of Hedao at a young age.

These three brothers practiced the "Way of Subduing Dragons", "Way of Taming Tigers" and "Way of Riding Elephants" respectively. During the heyday of Fusheng Temple, they were known as the "Way of the Trinity of Dragon, Tiger and Elephant". They were extremely famous and were even feared by the Demon Sect.

One of the disciples was a master of the Three Harmonies Dao, and there was another abbot who had even higher cultivation. At that time, Fusheng Temple was considered to be the best in the orthodox way.

It’s a pity that all of this turned into nothing when the secret treasure of floating life was opened a hundred years ago.

When Kuhaha was talking to Yun Yi about the past events, he was actually vague about many details and did not explain them clearly.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, the Fusheng Temple was severely damaged only because of the sneak attack by the Demon Sect, but they never thought about... whether there was a problem inside the Fusheng Temple.

The crux of the problem lies with Huishang.

He didn't know when he had colluded with the Demon Sect, and it was he who helped the members of the Demon Sect escape the many investigations of the Fu Sheng Temple. Half of them disguised themselves as independent cultivators and were invited here, while the other half secretly sneaked into the mountain gate.

Therefore, when the Demon Sect appeared, Fusheng Temple was completely unprepared and suffered heavy casualties, so much so that Abbot Yuanjue fought to the death and severely injured the Demon Lord, forcing him to retreat.

It was also during this battle that Huifan's foundation was damaged and he lost interest in immortality.

In the blink of an eye, Huiming was the only one left in Fusheng Temple. He took over the nine-ring Zen staff passed down by his master, and from then on he was alone, guarding the main hall by himself, suffering from the torment of memories day and night.

The Fusheng Temple, which was once bustling with people and had many happy disciples, has since fallen into decline.

The three originally united academies began to fall apart. The reason was that Huishang was the abbot of Chuzu Temple. Huiming did not reveal to the outside world that his junior brother Huishang had betrayed the sect, which laid the seeds of disaster.

After much investigation, the disciples of Chuzu Temple discovered that their abbot had never come out since he entered the secret vault of Fu Sheng, so they all believed that the abbot had died in the secret vault.

Unfortunately, Abbot Huiming was a monk and could not lie, and was even less willing to tell the truth, so Huishang's death became an unsolved case.

Ci Lan's betrayal of his master was also related to this incident. Hui Ming felt guilty and did not pursue the matter.

But Huiming never thought that Huishang, who attacked Yuanjue and became a traitor, did not die, but hid in the Fusheng Secret Treasure for a full hundred years!

He looked at this junior fellow apprentice who had once been like a brother to him, and he could no longer conceal the grief on his face, and his two white eyebrows looked particularly sad.

Huiming asked, "How could you be so stubborn and refusing to change?"

Huishang's monk's robe had become tattered over the past century. While wrestling with his senior brother, he laughed heartily and said, "Is it me who is not enlightened, or is it you, senior brother, who haven't attained enlightenment yet?!"

"Hui Shang, Hui Shang. Back then, Master named you Hui Shang to warn you that extreme wisdom will lead to harm. Now it seems you don't take it to heart at all."

"Why must Master be right? Now that Senior Brother is the abbot, don't you know how many dirty things Fusheng Temple has done in private to maintain its so-called righteous reputation?"

"To achieve the greater good, one must sacrifice the small self."

“But who defines the size of the world?”

Huishang increased his strength, and the white elephant in the air began to subtly suppress the Dragon-Subduing Arhat. He spoke loudly, "Brother, we were all wrong. Good and evil, all illusions. Only Heaven and Earth are real. If we can find the way to Heaven, we will no longer be bound by the constraints of human nature, good and evil, or the righteous and the devilish!"

The sadness in Huiming's eyes finally faded away. He had been sad for so many years, but in the end he found out that it was just his wishful thinking.

It turned out that he and his junior fellow apprentice were no longer fellow practitioners.

Perhaps Huishang had some truth in what he said. After all, Huifan had said something similar before, which was why he became disheartened and no longer had the heart to study Buddhism.

But this logic, at least to me, doesn't make sense.

Huiming had made up his mind: "Since Junior Brother has decided to become a demon, I can only... give you a ride!"

His long eyebrows fluttered, his eyes were wide open, and the Zen staff in his hand, covered with a layer of Buddha's light, suddenly flew out. At the same time, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat in the air turned his hands to make clouds and his hands to make rain, and his two palms heavily clasped the two huge tusks of the white elephant.

With a little force, he broke it in half!
There are also different levels of cultivation within the Hedao realm. Now it seems that Huiming, as the oldest of the three brothers, has been immersed in the Hedao realm for many years, and his own cultivation is slightly higher.

Huishang was just the opposite. After he betrayed his master, his path was already unstable, and he faked his death and hid in Fusheng Secret Treasure for a hundred years. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was only a breath of spiritual energy left in his body.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, the situation on the field has become determined.

Zhao Wuxiang saw that he was unable to break free from the Soul-Fixing Orb and could only hope that Huishang could defeat the old abbot.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished, so he could only start thinking about how to break free.

The grand plan of Futian Pavilion is only one step away, and there is still one thing he must do.

Zhao Wuxiang seemed to have accepted his fate, but in fact he was secretly observing Yun Yi and others. He finally discovered that Ye Nianyi had the lowest cultivation level, but was the "culprit" who controlled the Nine Revolutions Soul-Fixing Pearl.

So he suddenly had an idea, risking his life by biting his tongue and spitting a mouthful of blood at Ye Nianyi!
Seeing this, Bo Yue immediately used his sword to block the pool of blood, which might contain some poison. Yun Yi, on the other hand, angrily grasped Zhao Wuxiang's chin and threatened, "Although I dare not kill you, I have a thousand ways to torture you!"

Zhao Wuxiang laughed heartily and said, "It's too late, it's already too late."

Because just when Bo Yue and Yun Yi were distracted by him, he finally secretly opened a talisman and threw it on the ground.

Yun Yi was the first to notice something unusual, and was surprised when he saw the talisman on the ground.

He exclaimed, "Dayan Escape Talisman?!"

The number of Dayan is fifty, and forty-nine are used, and one is missing.

As one of the most powerful talismans in the world of cultivation, its function is not to attack or defend, but another seemingly simple effect.

That is, it can transform itself into a landmark and teleport the person holding another talisman there.

In a flash, a powerful force burst out from the Dayan escape talisman.

Abbot Huiming and Huishang stopped upon seeing this, both of them were shocked.

The person who came was actually in the Ascension Realm!
