"This Flash-Shadow Body hasn't turned on cheats, right? Although it runs fast and hides deep, it's impossible to even figure out the thoughts in other people's hearts. It's a bit unreasonable."
Su Chen secretly clicked his tongue. What kind of place exactly was that obscure and unknown place?
Although it seemed to be information intercepted from the Reality World, it definitely had nothing to do with the Reality World.
That day, after the Ritual Sacrifice ended, he returned to the Floating Island and found the Great Exalted had become Heavenly Sovereign, then kneaded the Main Profession together. After that, by the time he Dispatched the Flash-Shadow Body out again, the Prison-Suppressing King's side probably already finished communicating with the Immeasurable Buddha.
"It couldn't possibly be salvaged from a past time node, right... However, being unreasonable is good. The more unreasonable, the better."
Su Chen restrained his Thoughts and focused his attention on this top-secret Intelligence. This passage revealed the hidden information in the scene just now, among which there were several pieces of information worth noting.
The Flash-Shadow Body used the word "bewitch", indicating that the communication between the Immeasurable Buddha and the Prison-Suppressing King contained a strong sense of guidance.
"Those old guys in the Flare Realm aren't simple figures either. This Immeasurable Buddha is a guy from the Buddha Land. Wanting to gain their trust is probably as difficult as ascending the heavens."
"Even if the Vast Sea Emperor truly wanted to ask for his help, he would still have to pass the hurdle of the other several Ancient Kings first." Su Chen brainstormed.
"This Immeasurable Buddha said he was sent by the Vast Sea Emperor to help; nine times out of ten it's fake. His true purpose is to use those Sacrificial Ritual Methods to receive the Wheel of Salvation and determine the coordinates."
"However, what is his goal in wanting to figure out the Dust Star Sea's coordinates?"
Su Chen attempted to perform a Deduction. The only two things he could think of in the Dust Star Sea that were worthy of a figure like the Immeasurable Buddha coveting were two things.
One was the Starfire accumulated over many years. Its uses were very numerous: expanding the coverage area against the Nether Realm, Energy Supply, giving birth to various strange items. It could be said to be the core of the core.
He speculated that even in the Abyssal Domain, Starfire should be extremely precious.
Furthermore, there were the numerous Radiant Moon Spirits. According to what Taixuan Tianyi said back then, even among the Various Major Factions in the Abyssal Domain, the status of a Radiant Moon was pivotal.
And this Dust Star Sea suddenly had six Radiant Moons. How could it not make people covet them?
Wheel of Salvation, what was this thing... Su Chen pondered, lifted the shielding on the Remnant Spirit, and asked: "Taixu, do you still remember the Wheel of Salvation?"
"Wheel of Salvation?" The Remnant Spirit had already adapted somewhat to Su Chen's suddenly sounding voice, but was somewhat astonished by his question.
"I vaguely remember..." he said, "This seems to be one of the Buddha Land's ultimate Foundations kept at the bottom of the box."
"An ultimate thing kept at the bottom of the box?" Su Chen felt A Slight Shock in One's Heart and pressed: "What kind of might does it have?"
"Might?" The Remnant Spirit pondered briefly, seeming To Think about how to explain. After a moment, a voice finally responded: "The Wheel of Salvation is not famous for its Lethality. You can simply understand it as a kind of teleportation device driven by faith as energy."
"Just a teleportation device?" Su Chen was astonished.
"Don't underestimate it. The Wheel of Salvation can penetrate the Nether Mist, and its teleportation distance is also unimaginable." The Remnant Spirit emphasized, "In addition, it seems to have some other might, but what I remember most clearly is this point."
Penetrating the Nether Mist... that was indeed Not to be Trifled With. Su Chen was slightly shocked. The Nether Mist was something that could almost isolate everything. Currently, the only thing he knew that could penetrate the Nether Mist was the Power of Faith.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this Wheel of Salvation?" The Remnant Spirit's words carried probing.
But Su Chen didn't pay attention to him, asking directly: "If a Great Sun makes a move, do they have the ability to break the Starfire?"
"A Great Sun making a move?" The Remnant Spirit's words became a bit higher-pitched, "No matter how formidable a Solar Flame is, it is also formed after death. If a living Great Sun makes a move, it definitely wouldn't be able to block it."
After finishing answering, the Remnant Spirit couldn't help but ask: "Did a problem occur with the Solar Flame?"
Su Chen still didn't respond, his eyes flickering. That was interesting then.
Since that Immeasurable Buddha could enter this Flare Realm, then why hadn't the true controller of the Buddha Land made a move to directly take down this Solar Flame?
The old guys inside definitely couldn't resist a true Great Sun. At that time, the Dust Star Sea's coordinates probably wouldn't be a problem either, so why the need to sneakily bewitch a Prison-Suppressing King?
Su Chen murmured in his heart. The only explanation was that this Immeasurable Buddha was planning to swallow it all himself.
Was it the Spirit of the Vast Sun or the Dust Star Sea, or perhaps he wanted to swallow both himself?
Through Deduction step by step to this point, Su Chen instead breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This way, he still had time to scheme for that Spirit of the Vast Sun.
"It's just that it's best not to expose the coordinates of this Dust Star Sea either..." Su Chen changed his mind and frowned again. No eggs remain intact under a toppled nest. If the Abyssal Domain truly noticed the Dust Star Sea,
at that time, the Bronze Sect and he would both find it hard to look after themselves alone. But this matter was very difficult to inform the higher-ups of the various Sects; there were simply too many things that needed explaining...
"However, right now the Prison-Suppressing King is following the Vast Sea Emperor's orders to come to the Bronze Sect to inspect my Talent. Even if he truly believed what the Immeasurable Buddha said, he would have to wait until he returned from here before making plans."
Seeing that Su Chen consistently ignored him, the Remnant Spirit was somewhat angry in his heart, but could only take advantage of this opportunity of communication to hurriedly say: "I have already thought of how to obtain my lost Primal Source from the hands of those few guys."
"Oh?" Su Chen restrained his Thoughts and quietly listened to the Remnant Spirit's further explanation.
He said: "My lost Primal Source uses Solar Remnants as a surface disguise. You only need to mention the need for Solar Remnants to them, and they will naturally be able to think of my left behind Primal Source."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "Can't they see through it?"
"They can't see through it. Remnant fire is also Vast Sun Fire." The Remnant Spirit was very certain.
Su Chen couldn't help nodding. He still had to exert subjective initiative; wasn't the method thought out?
Mentioning Solar Remnants using Taixuan Hong's persona appeared quite normal. The several Ancient Kings only had this one portion in their hands, so naturally they could associate it, and it could also evade some risks.
The Faith Essence traded for the method to get out, then what should this lost Primal Source be traded with?
Su Chen wasn't worried. Originally, this was probably still a problem, but the appearance of the Immeasurable Buddha made the Flare Realm full of variables again.
He estimated that this matter should be much easier to handle than before.
Moreover, with the Radiant Moon Spirit polluted, the Vast Sea Emperor was probably extremely anxious to come out.
"There's one more thing," the Remnant Spirit suddenly said.
"Speak." Su Chen recovered his senses.
The Remnant Spirit cautiously inquired: "Do you know that the big guy shackling me in this place suddenly became quite a bit stronger?"
As the Remnant Spirit spoke, he also cautiously looked at the massive behemoth before him. Its figure was imposing like a mountain, yet as light as nothing, seemingly existing between the virtual and the real.
There was no wind around his body, yet the long red hair fluttered backwards like flames. His face was very blurry and couldn't be seen clearly. The most intimidating thing was his eyes.
The left pupil was blazing gold, deep within the pupil seeming to have a noon sun, so piercingly bright that it made people not dare to look directly at it. The right pupil was deep purple, seemingly having a sea of thunder sinking and floating.
His might was much stronger than originally. He didn't know how the other party suddenly became like this.
"Mhm, I know." Su Chen said it as a Gloss Over.
The Remnant Spirit faintly speculated. If Su Chen knew..., could it be this Transformation was related to the other party?
He wanted to say something more, but found that the other party completely had no response again, feeling a burst of anger in his heart.
...
"This Dispatch ability is truly formidable."
Su Chen sighed with emotion once again. This secret Intelligence directly let him learn of the Immeasurable Buddha's existence, as well as the unexpected situations he might face in the future. He could make plans early and wouldn't be suddenly startled only when matters came to a head.
"Dispatch out, Dispatch them all out."
Su Chen expended Divine Blood again, also Dispatching the recently entered Cinderless Flame out.
"As for Flash-Shadow Body..." He hesitated slightly, not continuing to Dispatch it.
When the time came, the Class Forging ability still had to rely on Professional Spirituality. If he Dispatched the Flash-Shadow Body out, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to use Class Forging at that time.
Moreover, the Divine Blood in his hand had also been consumed by a large chunk. He originally had thirty-five drops. Successively Dispatching four times had consumed twelve drops.
Just now extracting it consumed another seven drops. Before and after, he had already consumed nineteen drops, leaving only sixteen drops.
Originally he still felt wealthy, but now he was almost completely hollowed out.
"Wait for Old Bo to return and restore some blood for me..." Su Chen estimated. Old Bo had been acting for a while, and should be able to pray to Black Buddha now. He also had to figure out Black Buddha's reaction, as well as the follow-up plans.
Leaving the Main Building, he entered the Nether Tower again.
Not long after, he walked out again, his expression unavoidably revealing disappointment, and sighed:
"This Lao Hei is quite vigilant. I originally thought it would at least take the third purge to make him alert."
The first discovery could still be explained. For the second time, he thought he could also fool his way through, but the result was that Lao Hei directly told him not to plan the subsequent matters anymore, and only needed to keep an eye on Su Chen.
"However, he actually hasn't suspected me yet, but instead suspects the so-called Sect higher-ups I Contacted, and even told me to keep a low profile recently. This Believer identity is truly useful..."
Su Chen sighed with emotion, but he could also hear that Black Buddha's suppressed anger wasn't small.
If it wasn't because he still had some uses, who knew how he would deal with him.
"Next, I don't know what plans Lao Hei is preparing again."
Su Chen didn't think Lao Hei would stop his hands at this. The sunk costs were too large. Withdrawing now, this breath of anger could probably be held in Black Buddha's chest for a millennium.
It's a pity there's no way to continue plucking.
Su Chen was helpless. The Sect was ruthlessly plucked for a sum by him, and Black Buddha's side was also plucked bald.
"I have to think of a way, I can't Draining the reserves."
...
In the Flare Realm, apart from the Spiritual Tower and the scattered, unopened palaces, other places were all a mess. Many empty Grand Halls had all shattered, and what entered the eyes were all broken walls and ruins.
There were even some areas that had completely turned into flat ground, leaving nothing left. The ground was even cracked, seemingly having experienced a huge battle.
In the shadows of a certain palace ruin, the several Ancient Kings were all in this place. The Xuantian Ancient King looked somewhat wretched, his face bruised and swollen, yet he also squeezed out a smile: "It's good that you two can reach an agreement."
The Vast Sea Emperor's hair was disheveled. Looking at the Bronze Ancient King, he also said a few soft words: "The people under my command acted too recklessly. After we go out, I will naturally give an explanation."
The Bronze Ancient King was expressionless, sparks popping from all over his body: "There's no such thing as an explanation or no explanation. Old Turtle is dead."
Saying this, he also sighed, and added: "However, I'll say this upfront. The Mist Embers entwining my Bronze Sect's Starfire were weakened many times, and I sliced it into three portions, only then could Su Chen gradually deal with it."
"The Mist Embers corrupting the Radiant Moon Spirit are a single entity. Whether they can be purified is still unknown."
The Vast Sea Emperor, however, said: "It's nothing more than using the method you used once again. The Royal Court can afford to wait. Moreover, there's still the Galaxy Throne. After we get out, we will definitely be able to suppress those Mist Embers and provide an opportunity for Su Chen."
"Mhm." The Bronze Ancient King nodded. He agreed to the Vast Sea Emperor not purely because these people forced him; he also had his own little calculations.
Although he didn't think that Taixuan Hong was Su Chen, what if One in Ten Thousand he really was? Before the Mist Embers were purified, this Vast Sea Emperor would always have to stand together with him.
Not only that, because of this Immeasurable Buddha's appearance, the thoughts in the other people's hearts should have also somewhat changed...
The Bronze Ancient King didn't think deeply. The probability of equating Taixuan Hong with Su Chen being one or two in ten was already considered large. There was no need to consider too much because of this.
"A portion of his power infiltrated the Dust Star Sea. I don't know for what reason." The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron pinched his beard, quite worried: "We shouldn't have let them wait until sending the Faith Essence before starting the sacrifice."
The Vast Sea Emperor frowned, "Who could anticipate future events."
"This Immeasurable Buddha's strength is no small matter. Even with the Spirit of the Vast Sun muddying the waters, he could actually withstand the several of us." The Zhenwu Ancient King's expression was heavy and gloomy, his Aura fluctuating unsteadily.
"However, since this person came, the others of the Buddha Land haven't been seen for such a long time; there are probably hidden circumstances." The Xuantian Ancient King speculated.
The Bronze Ancient King looked far away at the Spiritual Tower in the distance, "I am more worried about that Kong Ming. If this person is Selected by the Spirit of the Vast Sun, even without the others of the Buddha Land, we would be in danger too."
...
On The Sixth Layer of the Tower of Spirit, inside the Cultivation Sanctum opened by Kong Ming, the Immeasurable Buddha slumped to the ground. The monk's robe on his body was already in tatters. His voice was grimly cold: "I did underestimate them."
Kong Ming looked at his Master with a worried expression. Taixuan Tianyi stood in the corner, his eyes flickering.
The Immeasurable Buddha said in a deep voice: "The power I sent out was intercepted by more than half. Only a wisp is left. I'm afraid it will be difficult to receive the Wheel of Salvation. We can only rely on the native power of that Dust Star Sea. I hope they have the Resources to start a sacrifice..."
"Master." Kong Ming hesitated, "If we don't report clearly to the World-Honored One, that unknown True Radiance Talent 7th-Tier... we don't know where he came from. If he comes next time and happens to see us, he will definitely be driven to desperate measures. Delay breeds change."
He faintly perceived that his Master keeping it hidden without telling was probably not purely for his sake.
"True Radiance, 7th-Tier?" Taixuan Tianyi in the corner blanked. Where did another True Radiance 7th-Tier pop out from?
Besides Kong Ming here, isn't there only that Taixuan Hong? But Taixuan Hong is clearly Divine Dawn. Could there be another one of The Recognized?
After Kong Ming opened the Cultivation Sanctum, he was thrown in, completely ignorant of the situation on the other side.
"Hmm..." The Immeasurable Buddha's eyes flickered, yet he shook his head saying: "It's not the time yet. Wait, wait a bit longer..."
