Lu Yang felt he might be a bit sensitive.
After all, the value of [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness] was truly too high. Just one [Mortal World] perfected his Dao Heart and made him crave other levels even more.
Just a casual mention of Outer Heavens opportunity.
Maybe Mu Changsheng just said it casually; it doesn't mean he has actually been to a [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness]... But just in case, I should pay attention in the future.
Immediately after, he shifted his attention.
The conflict between Mu Changsheng and [Sky-Shrouding] was only one aspect. In his layout overseas this time, another important chess piece had not yet been placed.
Overseas, in a certain remote sea area.
After fleeing all the way here, Yuan Tu simply sank to the bottom of the sea, chose an underwater cave to hide, and then set up a formation before breathing a sigh of relief.
"Many thanks for Senior's help."
Settling his mind, Yuan Tu cupped his hands towards Sisui in his consciousness sea, saying gratefully: "If not for Senior's action, Yuan Tu would have died without a burial place."
Yuan Tu's expression was honest, and his tone seemed very sincere. However, hidden deep in his eyes was some inexplicable feeling—simply because from time to time, the previous sensation would recur in his mind: the fear of having his body manipulated by Sisui at will, clearly conscious yet unable to control even a finger.
Whenever he thought of this, his expression almost twisted.
But he inherited Lu Yang's character of not showing emotions at critical moments. So even though his thoughts turned a hundred times, his expression remained unchanged.
Then he saw Sisui smile bitterly:
"What are you saying... Cough cough cough!"
Sisui waved his hand while coughing violently: "This time I squeezed my divine marrow to help you. I'm afraid I will perish afterward."
"Perish... Really...?" Yuan Tu was instantly shocked.
Of course it was fake.
Sisui shook his head in his heart. It was just that this time, fighting on behalf of Yuan Tu was too conspicuous. He needed to lie low for a while, shifting from the open to working in the dark.
But words still had to be said nicely.
Sisui said in a deep voice: "Of course it's true... Anyway, after I perish, you must act carefully. Never let people with intentions chase you to your door like this time again."
"Especially that [Sky-Shrouding]."
"This person's strength is extraordinary. He and I had grudges before. His special trip to kill the two of us this time is probably to silence me."
"Silence you?" Yuan Tu was stunned.
Sisui continued according to the script written by Lu Yang: "Exactly, because I learned a big secret of his... The [Bodhisattva Coiled Dragon Shadow] of the Pure Land is actually an incarnation he sent into the Pure Land back then!"
"Apart from me, no one else knows this matter. You are the second... Remember, it must rot in your heart. Wait until your cultivation strength is sufficient in the future to make plans. If your strength is insufficient, don't let your imagination run wild. After all, that's a secret at the Perfected Lord level; it's still too early for the current you..."
Listening to Sisui's earnest teachings, Yuan Tu's expression instantly changed. The dissatisfaction from just now was thrown beyond the nine heavens, leaving only deep emotion and sorrow. He hurriedly swore: "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely not act recklessly... When my cultivation achieves great success, I will definitely avenge you personally!"
"No need, I don't expect you to take any revenge."
"Just be safe and sound."
As his voice fell, Sisui shook his head and sighed lightly, as if breathing his last breath. The already illusory figure completely dimmed and then shattered.
Bang!
In an instant, the consciousness sea, originally incomparably bright due to Sisui's existence, plunged into darkness. Yuan Tu stood on the spot, his expression incredibly melancholy.
He seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
However, before he could organize his thoughts and accept the fact that "Senior has passed away," his entire vision was suddenly seized by a dazzling Buddhist light.
"Amitabha!"
The Buddhist light condensed, reflecting a magnificent golden mountain in Yuan Tu's eyes. On the mountain, high monks sat quietly, and novices chanted sutras. Their appearances and forms were all different, numerous as sand, tiny as ants, hard to fathom. Yet billions of golden rays fell down, illuminating the form and appearance of that golden mountain incredibly clearly.
Only when close could one see clearly.
What golden mountain was this?
It was clearly a narrow and long Buddha head, only having achieved the Buddhist cultivation golden body and being incredibly vast, with seven apertures tightly closed, making people mistake it for a mountain.
"Who goes there!"
Amidst the shock, Yuan Tu didn't forget vigilance. He hurriedly stood up and shouted angrily, while secretly forming hand seals intending to flee immediately.
But soon, he discovered in horror: I can't escape? How can this be!
The usually always successful [Determine Intimacy and Distance] was completely silent at this moment. No matter how much spiritual power he injected, there was no reaction, producing not a bit of divine ability.
Looking up again, he only saw that golden mountain Buddha head trembling slightly. The originally tightly closed seven apertures slowly opened, features unfolding, finally about to reveal a face... For no reason, Yuan Tu's gaze was completely fixed on the golden mountain, seemingly wanting to see what the face of such a Buddha head looked like.
Soon, he had the answer.
On the golden mountain, the five features gathered. Nose, eyes, mouth, tongue—the presented face was actually a handsome young man—shockingly his own appearance!
In an instant, Yuan Tu showed a look of joy.
Invisible mighty power completed the transformation of Yuan Tu's Dao Heart amidst the facial changes of this golden mountain Buddha head, molding his will into a brand-new appearance.
"Hey... I never thought I was actually an incarnation of a Bodhisattva!"
Yuan Tu finally achieved enlightenment.
Immediately after, that golden mountain Buddha head finally retracted its divine ability. A woman in white holding a treasure vase walked out from it—it was precisely [Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon].
"In this way, I can be considered not to have disgraced the mission. The only [City Rampart Earth] Foundation Establishment cultivator in the outside world has returned to the Pure Land, sufficient to replace Fu Long's position. Afterward, letting him attain [City Rampart Earth], plus the World Honored One enlightening the [Buddhist Kingdom on Earth]... there is hope. We also have a chance to go further."
"Excellent, excellent!"
[Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon]'s face was full of smugness. After all, she had secretly tracked Yuan Tu for quite a while before finally finding the opportunity to act.
Immediately after, she looked at Yuan Tu.
But soon, she discovered something wrong. Clearly Yuan Tu had already been converted and became one of their own, yet he had no reaction facing her, a Bodhisattva.
The next second, Yuan Tu was trembling even more, his teeth chattering.
Seeing this, [Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon] frowned: "Arhat Yuan Tu? What happened?"
"Big matter... Big matter!"
After Yuan Tu was converted and achieved Arhatship, his thinking shifted drastically. Therefore, the intelligence Sisui told him before immediately became a shocking secret.
"Please lend your ear, Bodhisattva."
Yuan Tu dared not neglect. He hurriedly leaned close to [Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon], transmitting via divine sense, explaining the whole sequence of events.
"...What did you say?"
[Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon] acted somewhat casually at first. However, as time went on, her expression became increasingly serious and solemn.
[Bodhisattva Coiled Dragon Shadow] is actually [Sky-Shrouding]'s incarnation?
Are you kidding!
Of course she wouldn't easily believe Yuan Tu's words. But if it were truly so... that would be something the Pure Land absolutely could not accept, and preparations must be made early!
