Mortal: Starting with the Seven Mysterious Sects, I proved my Dao through sacrifice.

Murong Fan recalled that as soon as he stepped into the stone chamber, he saw an ancient bronze bell floating in the center, its surface engraved with intricate Buddhist patterns and radiating immense Buddhist power—this was the Great Sun Tathagata Bell, a supreme spiritual treasure. Beside the bell, a golden Dharma wheel floated, its surface reflecting the images of the Buddhas of the Three Worlds—this was another supreme spiritual treasure, the Wheel of the Three Worlds Bright Kings. On the stone wall in the corner of the chamber, a diagram of a killing formation was engraved—the supreme killing formation, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation—these were the treasures he had sought.

Murong Fan was immediately blocked by the remnant spirit of the ancient Buddha upon entering the stone chamber. "Who are you, you petty thief, daring to trespass upon my ancient Buddha's ruins! And you even dare to covet my Buddha's treasures!"

An aged yet majestic voice echoed across the square. A phantom figure slowly emerged from the Buddhist temple, dressed in a tattered golden monk's robe. Its face was indistinct, and its body was surrounded by a dense aura of Buddhist power. It was the remnant soul of an ancient Buddha.

Murong Fan's heart skipped a beat, knowing he had encountered a formidable opponent. He immediately clasped his hands and said, "Junior Murong Fan, I stumbled upon this place by mistake and unintentionally discovered this spiritual treasure. I found that it has a deep affinity with Buddhism. I beg senior to grant my request."

"Buddhist affinity? Trespassing on my ancient Buddha's ruins, and you dare to call yourself a Buddhist affinity? Absolutely outrageous!" The remnant soul of the ancient Buddha sneered, raising his hand to unleash a golden Buddhist seal towards Murong Fan. Wherever the seal passed, the air was compressed, crackling and popping. "If you want a spiritual treasure, you'll have to get past me first!"

Murong Fan dared not be careless. He activated the Bright King Technique, and his body radiated a surge of Buddhist light. The remnant soul of the ancient Buddha used the Great Sun Tathagata Bell to defend. "Clang!" The sound of metal clashing echoed across the plaza. Murong Fan felt his arm go numb and staggered back three steps before regaining his footing. He was shocked: "Such formidable strength! But this Great Sun Tathagata Bell is indeed extraordinary; it actually managed to block this attack!"

Seeing that Murong Fan had withstood his attack, the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha flashed a hint of surprise in its eyes, then coldly said, "This kid has some skill, but that's probably all!" Before the words were finished, countless golden Buddha palms instantly appeared from the void, sweeping towards Murong Fan like a tidal wave. "Buddha Palms Fill the Sky!"

Murong Fan dared not be careless in the slightest. While using the Bright King Technique to defend against the attacks of the ancient Buddha's remnant soul, his gaze swept over the treasures in the stone chamber. He knew that the purpose of this trip was to find treasure, and during the fight, his eyes fell on the Three Worlds Bright King Wheel.

In mid-air, a golden Dharma wheel floated, its surface shimmering with the shadows of the Buddhas of the Three Worlds. It was another celestial treasure, the Wheel of the Three Worlds Bright Kings, its surface covered with mysterious runes, radiating an ancient and majestic aura. "The Wheel of the Three Worlds Bright Kings!" Murong Fan's heart stirred; he had heard Yuan Xiang mention the origin of this treasure. Seizing the opportunity, he reached out and grasped the Wheel of the Three Worlds Bright Kings.

In an instant, a massive surge of Buddhist power erupted from the Dharma wheel, but instead of gently merging into his body, it resisted fiercely, surging back like a tidal wave. Murong Fan groaned, feeling a sharp pain in his arm, and the flow of Buddhist power became sluggish.

"Such strong resistance!" Murong Fan was shocked. He hadn't expected the Three Worlds Manifestation Wheel to be so unruly. He dared not be careless and quickly circulated all the Buddhist power in his body to fight against the resistance in the wheel.

Two immense Buddhist forces collided and merged within his body, and Murong Fan felt as if his meridians were about to burst. He gritted his teeth and, with unwavering willpower, gradually dissolved the resistance of the Dharma Wheel, while simultaneously attempting to communicate with it.

While battling the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha, Murong Fan also attempted to control the Three Worlds Bright King Wheel. Seeing the Three Worlds Bright King Wheel, which had been constantly backfiring, gradually become more compliant, the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha's attacks slowed down. At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on Murong Fan's forehead, and his face turned deathly pale.

Just when he was about to give up, the resistance within the Falun suddenly weakened considerably. Murong Fan was overjoyed, knowing that his efforts had paid off.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Fan increased his Buddhist power output and finally established a wondrous connection with the Three Worlds Bright King Wheel. At this moment, a purple-blue light screen appeared on the altar: "The Three Worlds Bright King Wheel has successfully recognized its master!" Murong Fan was overjoyed, knowing that he had obtained an extraordinary, heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Murong Fan's expression turned solemn; he knew he could no longer hold back. He placed the relic between his brows, channeling all the Buddhist power within his body, and unleashed the Three Worlds Bright King Wheel in his hand to defend. "Bright King Technique - Universal Buddhist Light! Three Worlds Bright Kings, Suppress All!"

A tremendous beam of Buddhist light erupted from Murong Fan's body, and the Wheel of the Three Worlds Spinning and Flying Out, its surface shimmering with the shadows of the three Buddhas, emitting a dazzling golden light that blocked all the attacks from the Buddha's palms. The moment the Buddhist light collided with the Buddha's palms, the entire plaza trembled violently, and the golden light illuminated the entire ruins.

A flicker of shock flashed in the eyes of the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha, clearly not expecting Murong Fan's Buddhist power to be so profound, capable of even drawing upon the power of the Three Worlds Bright King Wheel, a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. He held nothing back, his Buddhist power surging wildly, condensing into a phantom image of an ancient Buddha tens of feet tall. The phantom, wielding a vajra, slammed down fiercely towards Murong Fan. "Ancient Buddha Subdues Demons!"

Murong Fan felt an unprecedented pressure. He knew that this was the strongest attack from the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha. He gritted his teeth and pushed the Buddhist power in his body to the limit, trying to activate the Great Sun Tathagata Bell and the Three Worlds King Wheel at the same time. With his current cultivation, he naturally could not make the two spiritual treasures exert their full power, but at least he could withstand the attack from the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha!

"boom!"

After the earth-shattering roar, the ancient Buddha's phantom slowly dissipated, and Murong Fan collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his Buddhist power almost completely exhausted.

The remnant soul of the ancient Buddha became even more ethereal. He looked at Murong Fan, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, would possess such profound Buddhist power, and be able to draw upon the power of two Heaven-Reaching Treasures. It seems you are destined to be with the Buddha."

Murong Fan struggled to his feet, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

The remnant soul of the ancient Buddha looked at Murong Fan, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "I am Ku Chan of the ancient Leiyin Temple. Thirty thousand years ago, during the great war between the Demon Buddha and the Buddha, my temple suffered a great calamity. I used my last bit of Buddhist power to seal the Demon Buddha, and only my remnant soul remains to guard the ruins. Now the seal is loosening, the Demon Buddha is about to be born, and my remnant soul is about to dissipate. I urgently need to find a suitable successor to inherit the Buddhist power and rebuild the seal."

Murong Fan's heart stirred, and he quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This junior is willing to do my utmost to help senior rebuild the seal and suppress the Demon Buddha!"

The remnant soul of the ancient Buddha waved his hand and said, "Enough. I have been guarding this ruin for over 30,000 years, and my Buddhist power is about to be exhausted. I can no longer sustain it. The fact that you have been able to fight me for so long and still be able to draw upon the power of the Wheel of the Three Worlds and the Bell of the Great Sun Tathagata shows that you have a deep affinity with Buddhism and a steadfast mind."

"If you can also use this supreme killing formation, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, then you shall inherit the opportunities within this ancient Buddha's legacy," the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha continued.

Murong Fan opened the jade slip and began attempting to activate the formation. The initial parts of the formation activated smoothly. The remnant soul of the ancient Buddha sighed, "It seems you are the true master of these two spiritual treasures and the supreme killing formation, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation."

"But there is no free lunch in this world. You must swear an oath with your Dao heart that this treasure shall be used to punish evil and promote good, to protect all living beings, and not to aid the wicked. If you break this oath, the power of Buddha will backfire, and your Dao foundation will be destroyed!" After saying this, his figure slowly dissipated, leaving only a golden ball of light, which contained rich Buddhist power and a vast amount of information.

Upon hearing this, Murong Fan felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that this was the final test from the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Senior, rest assured, Murong Fan hereby swears that this treasure will be used to punish evil and promote good, and to protect all living beings. If I break this oath, may my Dao foundation be destroyed." At the same time, he made a Dao heart oath with his divine consciousness, imprinting this promise deep into the depths of his soul.

Murong Fan stared at the ball of light, his heart pounding with excitement. He knew it was the legacy left behind by the remnant soul of an ancient Buddha. He activated the Vidyaraja Technique, slowly absorbing the Buddhist power and information within the ball of light. He felt the Buddhist power surging through his meridians, and his sea of ​​consciousness gained many insights into Buddhist teachings.

After an unknown amount of time, Murong Fan finished his practice and stood up. He felt that the Buddhist power in his meridians was several times stronger than before, and his aura had become more stable. He knew that he was one step closer to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He looked at the ancient Buddhist hall in front of him, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. He picked up the Xiaoyin Dharma Sword and strode into the hall.

Murong Fan carefully explored the stone chamber, and when his gaze swept across a corner, he discovered an ancient Buddhist shrine. On the shrine, three scrolls of palm-leaf scriptures lay quietly, their pages yellowed and emitting a faint Buddhist light, clearly Buddhist treasures.

Murong Fan stepped forward, took out the palm-leaf scriptures, and scanned the writing on them. He discovered that these three palm-leaf scriptures recorded the physical cultivation methods of the ancient Buddha, which could make up for the shortcomings of the Mingwang Technique in physical defense. He put the palm-leaf scriptures away without hesitation. Just as he was about to continue exploring the side halls on both sides of the Buddha Hall, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the entrance. Several greedy eyes fell on the palm-leaf scriptures in his hand. The leader was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Jingyin Sect.

Murong Fan felt an unprecedented pressure. He knew that this was the strongest attack from the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha. He gritted his teeth and pushed the Buddhist power in his body to the limit, trying to activate the Great Sun Tathagata Bell and the Three Worlds King Wheel at the same time.
