The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The air is thick with life, as vibrant and pure as when the world first began.

The light covered Tianlejun's body, and the corrosive spiritual energy that the Tantric disciples had tried so hard to remove but still couldn't completely dissipate was rapidly decomposing.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tianlejun's physical body miraculously regenerated, and even his severed limbs regrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Tianle, who was originally unconscious, coughed several times in a row!

"Cough! Cough cough cough!"

The Tantric disciples all gasped in shock. Even though they knew that Chi Miao possessed abilities that could not be measured by normal levels, they were still stunned by what they saw.

"This...this is simply a miracle!"

"Is this the Holy Maiden...? To achieve this without even receiving the Tantric teachings is simply unbelievable!"

They always knew Chi Miao was capable, but they never expected him to be this capable!

Moreover, after healing such complex and severe injuries, she seemed completely unaffected, which was terrifying!

Chi Miao's life force gradually subsided, and she breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Tian Le Jun: "How are you feeling?"

Tianlejun opened his eyes, seemingly unsurprised that Chi Miao possessed such power; his eyes held both relief and self-reproach.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Chi Miao shook his head: "There's nothing to worry about. We've all worked hard for Miaohua Continent and for this world, and so many years have passed... Thank you for your hard work."

The four disciples of the Tantric sect are all Jiang Yue's disciples, which means they are practically her disciples, so she naturally has to do her best for them.

Tianle-jun, who possessed the ability to hear people's thoughts, clearly fell silent for a moment.

Wow... what a great rounding up move!

Tianlejun didn't expose him, nor did he waste any more words. His eyes quickly cleared, and he said, "Now that you have obtained the inheritance left by Tianbei and returned to the Tantric sect, let's not delay... I will take you to the place of the Tantric sect's inheritance."

Chi Miao nodded; this was the reason she came to the Tantric sect.

Tianlejun got up and led Chi Miao out.

The Tantric disciples then looked at Ying Wuhuo and the others: "Call your other fellow practitioners here as well. Tantric Buddhism... also has a share of its heritage for you."

Ying Wuhuo frowned: "Fellow Destiny?"

Mu Jiuzhou was taken aback: "You didn't know?"

Jin Shengfei shook his head repeatedly. What did they know?

Mu Jiuzhou was also stunned: "You two... didn't you come together because of your fate as fellow destiny friends, and that's why you've stayed with Chi Miao all this time?"

Ying Wuhuo and Jin Shengfei both showed bewildered expressions.

Song Chenxing and Yun Yao were also stunned.

"You all didn't know?!"

Jin Shengfei: "No way, why do you guys even know this?!"

Mu Jiuzhou remained silent for a long while before sighing:

"Fate is truly a wonderful thing."

The term "life-bound friends" refers to a pact made between a Tantric Buddhist holy woman and her five life-and-death friends, promising to be together for all eternity, never to be separated, and to support and grow together in every life.

Even at the cost of my life, even at the cost of everything.

Once they successfully establish their foundation, their past life memories will surface... This is true for every generation of saintesses and their destined companions.

However, these individuals in this generation were completely unaware of the matter of the Fated Friend.

The strange thing is that... the previous Holy Maiden secretly broke this contract.

After all, her soulmates in each lifetime had sacrificed far too much for the Holy Maiden.

Their Tantric tradition not only recorded the story of the holy woman, but also the story of her fellow incarnations—each of whom died a tragic death in every incarnation.

No matter how much they planned, they couldn't have foreseen that even without a contract of fate, these individuals would still find the Holy Maiden under the guidance of destiny, help her, and become her sworn brothers.

Mu Jiuzhou looked into the distance and silently recited in his heart:

"Can it succeed?"

"The mission of Tantra..."

This arduous road, built from the corpses of countless people, is the greatest road in the world.

Those eight words... became increasingly profound to them as they read on.

……

A forbidden area of ​​Tantric Buddhism.

There are four walls here, and countless lamps on the walls, but only two lamps are lit.

A lamp burns eternally, as if it will never go out.

There was another lamp... a faint light, as if it wouldn't last much longer.

Apart from these lamps, this forbidden area of ​​the Tantric sect had absolutely nothing special about it!

This left Chi Miao somewhat bewildered: "The lineage of Tantric Buddhism...is it these lamps?"

Tianle nodded: "Yes... these lamps are called life lamps."

Chi Miao was stunned: "Life lamp?"

Tianlejun: "Using the soul as a guide, synchronizing with the flame of life, this is the life lamp."

It means using the spirit as the wick to synchronize with the life state of the spirit's owner.

That makes sense, doesn't it?

Wait... no!

This is a forbidden area of ​​Tantric Buddhism. Tantric Buddhism was her creation from a previous life. There are so many life lamps here, could it be—

Just as Chi Miao was about to speak, Tian Le Jun said:

"There are three thousand life lamps here... and these three thousand life lamps all carry the soul of the same person!"

"The Holy Maiden of Tantric Buddhism—that is, you."

When Chi Miao heard the result, he couldn't help but gasp. Three thousand lamps!

There are so many...

"These life lamps... aren't just from after the founding of Tantric Buddhism, are they?"

Tianlejun nodded: "Yes, when I was brought back to the Tantric sect by my master, there were already more than two thousand life lamps here. And each time you reincarnate, another life lamp will appear on the wall. This is how our Tantric sect senses the birth of a holy maiden."

"And you... happen to be the three thousandth life lamp."

Hearing this, Chi Miao couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, a mixture of excitement and shock.

Looking at these three thousand life lamps, only two were still burning; one belonged to her, and the other…

The faint firelight reminded Chi Miao of what Yan Shu had said: among their reincarnations, only one was truly special, having escaped the Yama Curse and become an immortal being.

Crimson Moon.

Chi Miao asked, "Where did Jiang Yue go back then?"

Tianlejun shook his head: "We don't know, but... in the last period of her life, she had become a mortal without any cultivation."

Chi Miao was stunned: "She stripped away her cultivation?"

Tianle shook his head again: "We don't know, but... she said she's looking for a possibility—the only possibility."

"The only possibility?"

Chi Miao looked curiously at the lamp that belonged to Jiang Yue, approaching it step by step, as if it possessed some kind of magic.

The Gou Shi System suddenly spoke up: "Chi Miao, I have a very familiar feeling!"

And it was at this moment that Tianle Jun suddenly spoke up from behind:

"Chi Miao, are you aware of the eight-character mission of Tantric Buddhism?"

Chi Miao froze, pursed her lips, nodded, and then read out each word carefully:

"Secretly seizing power from Heaven to destroy the very essence of Heaven!"
