"What about the Joyful Buddha? Grandpa, we need to hurry up a bit. That guy Chen Qing, he really is quite lucky."

"Why?" Old Liu indeed did not delay. After all, that guy Chen Qing could take off at any moment, and now that he finally knew the direction, of course, he wouldn’t be careless.

"Among the thirty-six Buddhas, the Joyful Buddha is the weakest. Chen Qing is a clone, and he probably doesn’t know the hidden location of the Buddha Kingdom back then. So this seems purely a matter of luck..."

The grandson of Old Liu had a somewhat gloomy expression.

His elder brother died a horrible death, and grandpa’s Space-Time Jade was lost, almost all thanks to Chen Qing.

Even just a clone could be so troublesome, it’s no wonder grandpa was so cautious with him.

Unexpectedly, his luck was even good enough to encounter the weakest among the Buddhas!

"Chen Qing’s luck isn’t that good..." Old Liu said with a slight smile.

If other Buddhas encountered Chen Qing, even the strongest Past Buddha might not be able to keep a hold of Chen Qing. But this one... is different. If Chen Qing meets him, the odds of winning are probably less than ten percent.

"Grandpa thinks that Chen Qing can’t even deal with the Joyful Buddha?" The kid asked curiously.

"As for the Joyful Buddha himself, there are indeed many weaknesses, especially before his power is restored. Relying too much on the Buddhist mother, it’s easy for Chen Qing to exploit gaps, but the premise is that back then, he didn’t set up that trap."

"Trap?"

"It should be said... it’s also his luck.

" Old Liu looked distantly towards the horizon.

The path the Joyful Buddha chose was too obscure, ultimately relying on the path of lust which cannot lead to the ultimate step.

He was always seeking change until one day.

.. he fortunately found a prototype of a Dao Fruit!

------------------------------------------

"A conspiracy over a million years?"

Upon hearing Chen Qing’s words, the Buddhist mother felt even more panicked. She felt that the Joyful Buddha was too calm about his betrayal, as if he hadn’t anticipated it but still... didn’t care.

Previously, she couldn’t comprehend what his trump card was.

After all, if the Joyful Buddha can’t tempt Li Yankong, and if he allows him to save more than seven high-quality seeds and get them on her side, then the roles of attacker and defender would be reversed!

And now... a second person who will not be tempted appears in the dream.

And this person, compared to Li Yankong, seems completely different.

"This thing is very strange. According to Ao Zhen back then, it seems to have emerged from nowhere, a wild demon without any power or resources, who grew to a near King Level in a very short time. This only shows how special this demon is."

"I have been thinking about why Ao Zhen, who is clearly in the Southern Sea, would appear here?"

"Logically, if captured, sending it to the place where this Buddha resides from so far away must have a reason. It can’t be that he came here in advance to wait for me, right?"

Chen Qing rubbed his fingers, staring at the rigid Ao Zhen in the picture: "Ao Zhen didn’t come here because of me, because no one can precisely predict that I would come here. Ao Zhen came here because of the Sword Spirit, Ao Zhen... is a whetstone!"

"Whetstone?" The Buddhist mother wasn’t foolish, and upon Chen Qing mentioning this, she responded immediately.

This Sword Spirit’s life has been unique, battling life and death with those who excell in swordsmanship.

Each victory made it stronger. In its previous life, it encountered Ao Zhen and, after being cut off from its path, went through several reincarnations until now.

It acquired its power once more and progressed greatly in spirit.

Now, killing Ao Zhen again would break its inner demons, and very likely.

.. it would immediately become a new King Level!

And with this thing’s unique power...

The Joyful Buddha is seeking transformation!

The Buddhist mother’s pupils dilated, she finally understood why the Joyful Buddha has not cared about her trying to take the Joyous Buddha Power from the start. Because he simply did not care, from the beginning, he planned to abandon the world of lust.

"If that’s the case..." the Buddhist mother suddenly smiled: "It seems that there is no longer a reason for cooperation between me and my senior."

"Oh?" Chen Qing heard the dangerous tone in her voice but was not surprised, nor panicked, and responded indifferently: "Do you think so?"

"Isn’t that so?" the Buddhist mother said with a laugh: "I collaborated with the senior to take down the realm of lust and become the new Joyful Buddha, but now that fellow has long been prepared to transform, so there’s no conflict between him and me, right?"

"If you had done nothing before, maybe there would have been no conflict..." Chen Qing said indifferently: "But you didn’t, you betrayed him."

"What’s the big deal?" Upon hearing this, the Buddhist mother covered her mouth and chuckled: "We are all under the same power, there’s no need to escalate to a Life and Death situation. Since there is no absolute conflict of interest, we are all from the same root, why should we slaughter each other? Doesn’t he understand this simple truth? "

"Perhaps he used to understand..." Chen Qing shook his head.

"What do you mean by that, senior?" The Buddhist mother smiled as she approached, but she was cautious not to let Chen Qing escape.

At this moment, there was not a trace of Spiritual Power on Chen Qing’s body. If she could take down Chen Qing herself, her claim to the position of Joyful Buddha would be even more legitimate!

Despite the obvious malice from the other side, Chen Qing was still not in a hurry. He pointed to the floating eyes and said in a faint voice: "Take a look..."

The Buddhist mother frowned and, while guarding against Chen Qing, she glanced over the situation within the Thousand Eyes Technique. After seeing what was happening inside, she was stunned for a moment.

Just a moment ago, she had a sword at the throat, yet now she had voluntarily retreated?

What was that fellow doing?

"Why did you retreat?" Ao Zhen, after surviving a close brush with death, felt not a trace of joy. On the contrary, a nameless rage surged from within her heart.

Because she could clearly see the disdain in the other’s eyes.

"You are not the Ao Zhen of the past... Killing you now is no different from killing a chicken by the roadside..."

Ao Zhen: "....."

"I’m giving you time..." Lin Feng spoke and then actually sat down on the ground. He placed his long sword casually beside him, closed his eyes, and said: "You better hurry up, my patience is not that great."

"You...." A sense of unprecedented suffocation flooded her heart, but even so, she still dared not move her sword again so easily.

The hand clutching the sword was trembling, unable to take a step forward!

"What is this...." The Buddhist mother was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

"Haven’t you figured it out yet?" Chen Qing said coldly: "That Sword Spirit is taking the most pure path of slaughter.

Such a path demands an unobstructed heart.

Any slight disorder in emotions would make it impossible to be as pure as it.

He is giving Ao Zhen time because he wants to sever the ties of the past. The only defeat of his life, which ended his Sword Spirit career - Ao Zhen is an obstruction to him.

Only by defeating a completely prepared Ao Zhen can his mind reach enlightenment. "

"Once he succeeds, his path will soar into the heavens, immediately becoming the pinnacle among King Level, even touching the threshold of Monarch is not impossible!"

"Such a monster, even if the Joyful Buddha could occupy him through the seed, to steal his Dao Fruit, he needs to have the same state of mind to control it.

Your betrayal is an obstruction to him. Getting rid of you is not a question of trouble, but only by killing you, can he become as pure as the Sword Spirit! "

"Nonsense!" The Buddhist mother rebutted immediately.

But then she looked uncertainly inside again.

At that moment, the two of them stood frozen against each other, with the atmosphere tensing.

Lin Feng’s demeanor, closed-eyed and meditating, seemed to indeed confirm what Chen Qing had said, his Dao Heart pure, coming here for this very reason— even if he would be killed by Ao Zhen again, he would still make the same choice.

To kill an incomplete Ao Zhen would mean a forever-present inner demon, and his own Dao path would be ruined.

Whereas if the Joyful Buddha took over such a pure being...

"Have you thought it through?" Chen Qing smiled as he watched the Buddhist mother retreat.

"Even so, what can you change?" The Buddhist mother stared intently at him: "You have no Spiritual Power, and I suppose you also don’t dare to willingly enter the dreamscape, right? Since that’s the case... Even if you know all this, what can you do?"
