Chapter 308 - 1130

Chapter 1130, Volume 414562

After leaving the Hall of Heroes and crossing the vast snowfield, Jiang Bai used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to travel eastward, and within an hour or so, he had entered the borders of China.

He shouted from the edge of the grassland and then rushed straight in.

Instead of returning to Tiandu or going directly to see Lao Cheng, they headed straight for Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snowy Mountains of Southwest China.

Before this, Lao Cheng had sent him a text message out of the blue, saying, "Go back and look through the ancient books of the Great Snow Mountain when you have time."

This was just a minor incident at the time, but Jiang Bai still remembered it.

Although Cheng Tiangang often joked and teased Jiang Bai, it was because he had a good relationship with Jiang Bai and considered him a friend.

However, this does not mean that he is a person who talks nonsense.

On the contrary, Cheng Tiangang never speaks without a purpose; if he said something like that, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Considering his location at the time, Jiang Bai guessed that Cheng Tiangang might have learned some secrets from the Southern Border Witch God Sect, or perhaps he already knew something but couldn't tell him, which was why he sent him a cryptic text message at that time.

Although Cheng Tiangang never mentioned it again after that, Jiang Bai kept it in mind.

During this time, he was constantly being hunted down and had no chance to return to China, let alone go to the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain to look through any ancient texts.

However, now that the matter has been resolved and Jiang Bai has nothing else to do, he has the time to go straight to the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain as soon as he enters China.

Consider that this place was once a powerful and influential sect that dominated the martial arts world of the Central Plains. Yang Wudi had to exchange things with it when he came here. It was once a place of great power and influence.

When Jiang Bai first took over, this place was also a place of fierce power.

This is consistent with its historical significance.

But ever since the last time they came out of the Lishan Mausoleum, after the Supreme Daoist Master said those words to Yang Wudi, Jiang Bai had some doubts.

Yang Wudi is clearly not simple. The Greedy Wolf Devouring Heaven Technique is just a cover. He must have a more powerful technique or strength.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been necessary for such an arrogant and unparalleled figure as the Supreme Dao Master to waste so much time talking to him, advising him not to hold back and to show his strength.

If Yang Wudi has such strength, why did he submit to the Lingjiu Palace of the Great Snow Mountain and even exchange himself with them?

According to Jiang Bai's plan, they should have demonstrated their true power and razed the Lingjiu Palace on the Great Snow Mountain to the ground. Even if they hadn't razed it to the ground, given the old Living Buddha's temperament, he wouldn't have refused to give it to them.

However, Yang Wudi did not do that. On the one hand, it shows that Yang Wudi is a person who values ​​rules and morality. On the other hand, it can also be viewed from another perspective.

For example... is there some kind of hidden strength in the Lingjiu Palace of the Great Snow Mountain that even Yang Wudi would have to give way to even if he stopped hiding his true strength?

Already harboring suspicions, Jiang Bai's doubts deepened further after receiving the text message from Cheng Tiangang.

Although the truth may not be so, Jiang Bai felt it was better to go and see for himself.

Jiang Bai stopped to rest twice along the way, then had a meal in a small town and took a nap. By the afternoon, he had arrived at the location of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain.

In the past year, Jiang Bai has taken over the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain. With the strong financial support of the Imperial Enterprise and Jiang Bai's hard work, the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain is no longer what it used to be.

The magnificent palace still sits atop the mountain, unchanged, but the landscape at the foot of the mountain has taken on a different appearance. The winding road leads out of the mountains, and the area now has the feel of a modern rural village.

There is also a small airport nearby, which serves as the landing and takeoff point for Jiang Bai's private jets. Occasionally, employees of the Empire Corporation also come here for leisure and vacation.

This place has become an exclusive resort for Imperial Enterprises.

Even more remarkably, there are now several followers of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain within the Imperial Enterprises, including Li Qiang, a senior executive of the company, who was originally a devout follower of Tibetan Buddhism Rinpoche.

Now, the head of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism is here, and there are hundreds of masters who can be called Living Buddhas. Naturally, he has become a follower of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain.

Jiang Bai had even heard that this guy was currently promoting his faith to senior and middle management within the Empire Corporation.

Jiang Bai simply smiled at these things, not caring at all, because he was the living Buddha master of Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain and the true head of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. In his view, believing in the sect he belonged to was not a bad thing.

I've heard that several high-ranking officials are already interested.

Only Yao Lan, after listening to Li Qiang's preaching and learning that Jiang Bai was the living Buddha and master of this place, scoffed at it.

To expect her to bow down to Jiang Bai whenever she sees him from now on... Yao Lan said she couldn't do that.

When Jiang Bai appeared at the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain, it immediately alerted the palace. One after another, experts came out and looked up at the palace with wary expressions.

When they saw Jiang Bai appear, they were all stunned, then respectfully prostrated themselves on the ground, calling out, "Master!"

Jiang Bai waved his hand, telling them to get up. He then summoned a Dharma King who had stayed behind. This Dharma King was the latest one promoted by Jiang Bai. He had turned the Four Dharma Kings into Eight, including four juniors and four ascetic monks.

This is one of the ascetic monks; his name seems to be Errilun.

"Where are the records of our Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain? I'd like to take a look." Jiang Bai instructed. He had previously read the records of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain, which recorded some past events. Jiang Bai had only skimmed through a portion of them and had not read them all.

However, now that he had doubts and heard Lao Cheng's words, and since he had nothing else to do, he decided to check everything.

"I wonder what kind of scriptures the Living Buddha wishes to read?" Errilun asked curiously. He was also a high monk who was good at reading and loved reading. He had studied all the scriptures of Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain, but he still hadn't finished reading them.

Because the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain has a history of thousands of years, it has a collection of hundreds of thousands of books, many of which are unique copies. There are too many for him to read them all.

"Bring all of them, however many there are, to my room."

If you're going to look at something, you should look at the whole thing; otherwise, you won't understand anything.

"Yes, Master. Please return to your room. I will immediately lead people to retrieve all the books and send them over. There are a total of 414,562 books, not one missing. They are all in the storeroom. It may take some time, so please wait a while."

One sentence made Jiang Bai vomit blood: 414,562 volumes?

Is this some kind of scam? He's reading them all by himself, isn't he going to make Jiang Bai want to vomit blood?

Chapter 1131 Grace

Even if he didn't eat or drink and had a photographic memory, it would still take him a very long time to finish reading it.

Back then, Tiandu University was known for its million-volume collection, of which about 100,000 were truly useful. Jiang Bai spent several months reading them.

These 400,000+ copies are enough to give anyone a headache.

You should know that the books in Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain are different from those in outside libraries. Many of them are unique copies, and they were written by people. Some of them contain errors, and there are differences in the style of writing and the characters, making them very difficult to understand.

Even Jiang Bai wouldn't dare say that he could read every single one of them smoothly.

More than 400,000 copies—that's enough to turn your hair white from reading!

"Uh, no need. Summon all the literate high-ranking members of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain, all the masters and living Buddhas of the Tantric sect, and all the ascetic monks in the surrounding area, and spread my decree throughout the entire Tibetan region."

"Within three days, no matter what methods they use, they must all come to the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain to study the scriptures!"

After thinking it over, Jiang Bai gave this order. It was a last resort. The Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain had a considerable number of people, but only a few hundred. Among them, only one or two hundred could read the written characters, and even fewer could read the ancient scriptures.

Those ascetics and hermits were indeed highly virtuous monks, proficient in Tibetan, Mongolian, Sanskrit, and many other languages, but firstly, they were old, and secondly, their numbers were not very large.

The combined number is less than three hundred people, which is really too few. With over four hundred thousand copies sold, this is going to exhaust them all.

Therefore, Jiang Bai gave this order.

After all, Tibet is dominated by Tantric Buddhism, and Tantric Buddhism is led by the Vulture Palace in the Great Snow Mountain. No one dares to disobey his orders.

Moreover, this is not oppressive governance, but benevolent rule.

As soon as Jiang Bai finished speaking, Erri Lun prostrated himself on the ground and shouted, "The kindness of the Living Buddha master will surely be appreciated by everyone. It is a great opportunity for everyone to have the chance to read the rare and precious books in the Lingjiu Palace of the Great Snow Mountain."

After saying this, the current Dharma King, who came from the Tantric school, excitedly went to issue the order.

This is a rare opportunity for all the masters.

The books in Lingjiu Palace on the Great Snow Mountain are extremely precious. Many rare copies have been sealed away for hundreds or even thousands of years, and no one is qualified to read them. Now that Jiang Bai has opened the storehouse and made them available for people to read, it is an incredible opportunity.

After the order was issued, Tibet was in motion. Orders were sent out through the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain. In the past, it was necessary to send envoys, but now it is not necessary; a phone call is sufficient.

It is passed on to Living Buddhas and great Dharma Masters in various regions, and then they pass it on to others.

Then one by one, the old monks emerged from the temple, which they had not left for many years, and headed southwest as if on a pilgrimage.

If it weren't for the time constraint, I reckon we would have had to prostrate ourselves at every step.

Three days was an extremely tight timeframe, but no one was delayed. The old monks, unusually, used their privileges and various means to get themselves to Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain.

The agreed-upon three-day period was already halfway through on the first day, and by the second day, even the most remote monks had arrived.

They gathered at the foot of Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain, and then, step by step, prostrated themselves and kowtowed as they walked up to this magnificent Buddhist palace.

Then they entered the main hall.

Instead, all the ancient books had already been brought out. After Jiang Bai accepted the homage, he sat upright in the center and said in a deep voice, "I have invited you here today to look through the ancient books. Please cooperate."

"I ask you to find the origins of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain, as well as some myths and legends, or secrets related to the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain."

"Whoever finds these can stay at Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain to meditate."

"Even if we can't find it, everyone here can stay and study the scriptures for a month."

One sentence moved people to tears, and they all kowtowed to thank the Living Buddha for his kindness, which made Jiang Bai blush slightly.

After all, sitting there while a bunch of old monks worshipped him, watching them weep and express their gratitude, Jiang Bai felt somewhat embarrassed.

Once his order was given, the main hall immediately began to operate efficiently.

These elderly monks are all highly learned individuals; they are arguably the most knowledgeable people in Tibet, and are all highly educated intellectuals.

With their devout faith, at Jiang Bai's command, no one hesitated and began carefully reading and examining those rare and ancient books.

They searched word by word, not knowing what the Living Buddha was trying to do, but they knew that the Living Buddha must have a deeper meaning, and no one dared to take it lightly.

Moreover, if they could find something useful that could be kept in the sacred snow-capped mountains, that would be far more tempting to them than gold and silver.

To be able to remain in the holy land, or even live out one's old age in solitude around the holy land, is the lifelong wish of every high-ranking Tantric monk.

However, only senior monks with a certain level of cultivation and extremely high status are qualified to come here. Others may spend their entire lives without ever being qualified, which has caused countless people distress in the past.

Now that such a great opportunity is right in front of us, only a fool would not take it seriously.

The people in the hall were working efficiently, so Jiang Bai felt embarrassed to leave and sat down there as well. He found a few rare books and started reading them in a seemingly serious manner.

Time passed slowly, and the books were read one by one before being carefully collected by the young lamas.

But still, there were no results. Before they knew it, a day had passed. After a simple meal, these people worked tirelessly without sleep, but Jiang Bai was getting a little irritable.

Since it was already dark, and tens of thousands of books had been lost without any results, Jiang Bai even began to suspect that Cheng Laohu was playing a trick on him.

However, you always need to be patient with these things.

Therefore, Jiang Bai tried his best to be patient.

One day passed, then two days. The monks worked tirelessly, but still found nothing. Although they found several books, they were all just myths and legends. Jiang Bai kept them by his side but couldn't figure them out, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The third day passed in the blink of an eye. Nearly a thousand old monks had searched through the library and read almost half of the books, but still found nothing.

Jiang Bai was about to give up when suddenly an old monk stood up, holding a book, and said excitedly, "This...this...how is this possible?"

A single sentence drew everyone's attention, including Jiang Bai. The nearly ninety-year-old monk trembled, staring at the book in his hands with disbelief, almost in a daze.

This was a composed and enlightened monk who had never approached Jiang Bai in the past three days, nor had he even left his seat. His sudden behavior was incredibly surprising.

Chapter 1132 The Vulture Spirit of the Buddhist Kingdom Comes from the Great Snow Mountain

"What's wrong?" As the people around him gathered, Jiang Bai stood up, knowing that they had discovered something, and immediately asked.

With trembling hands, the old monk touched the yellowed ancient book, slowly stepped out of the crowd, and said to Jiang Bai in a trembling voice, "Living Buddha Master, you...you look here..."

I looked at the book title, "The Chronicles of the Three Living Buddhas of Lingjiu Palace," and it said...

"One day I asked the patriarch, 'Where did the Lingjiu Palace of the Great Snow Mountain originate?'"

The patriarch replied, "Vulture Peak is born in the Buddha's land, and comes from the Great Snowy Mountains."

"After pondering it all my life, I finally understood, and that led me to the Buddhist land."

"Buddha, Buddha's Land... It really, really exists!?" The old monk trembled, tears streaming down his face, unable to control himself.

One sentence caused the faces of those around them to change drastically, and they trembled with extreme excitement. These people were all enlightened monks who had dedicated their lives to their faith, enduring wind and rain, suffering all kinds of hardships, to spread the teachings and resolve doubts.

This is what I've pursued my whole life.

However, with the discovery of science and technology and the enlightenment of mankind in recent years, many beliefs have been refuted. Although these old monks have persisted to this day, they are still somewhat wavering.

Regardless of the existence of immortal sects, those Daoists, though dissatisfied, at least had something to rely on.

Those Western barbarians also have traces of true gods to follow.

But the Buddhist sect has vanished without a trace, leaving people to speculate.

Most people place their hopes on the afterlife, firmly believing in the concept of reincarnation, and endure suffering in this life to accumulate merit for the next.

However, it would be a lie to say that I had no thoughts about it.

Now, some clues have been found in a book of the Three Dynasties from who-knows-how-many years ago, which sends shivers down one's spine.

The third Living Buddha was a rare genius in the history of Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain. The first Living Buddha founded Lingjiu Palace, but his fame was not widespread. The second Living Buddha laid a solid foundation and spread the light.

However, the Lingjiu Palace truly flourished under the leadership of this third Living Buddha, who ruled the Tantric sect, exerted his power over Tibet, and coveted the Central Plains. He has always been a legendary figure.

His biography is clearly based on his own account, a conclusion reached by Jiang Bai and others after their research, as many events are narrated from his own perspective.

Whether it's true or not is unknown, given how long ago it was, but we can be about 70% certain.

Because the notes match the scriptures left by the three Living Buddhas.

"Quick! Find them! Find all the notes of the three Living Buddhas, all their records of life, all their remaining writings. I need to uncover their secrets!"

"Also, give me all the documents from the two generations before and after my three generations. I reckon what I'm looking for is in these documents!"

After flipping through it, Jiang Bai found only one useful sentence, and it was just a brief record without any details. This forced him to abandon the chronicle, but he did not give up on finding the hidden secrets within.

This book is only a little over a hundred pages long, with few words on each page. It mainly records Buddhist teachings, but here the writing is bold and vigorous, with a noticeably stronger and more powerful style.

These few words, written with unconnected strokes, suggest that the author must have been filled with struggle and contradiction when writing them.

However, since it has been written down, it must have a deeper meaning.

Jiang Bai was very suspicious of how Cheng Tiangang knew about this place, but since he had brought it up and now he had found some clues, Jiang Bai decided to investigate further.

These few words alone are enough to send chills down one's spine.

"Vultures, born in the land of Buddha, come from the snowy mountains."

These few words are quite profound.

With Jiang Bai's command, the old monks, who were already excited beyond measure, immediately put in their best effort. Their previous exhaustion vanished.

Even some elderly monks, who were already exhausted and were being helped down to rest by the young monks, pushed away those around them and sat down again.

To pursue the mystery of the Buddhist kingdom, even death would be without regret.

Even if you're completely exhausted, you can't leave at this moment.

Because this may be their lifelong wish, and although they cannot be certain, they cannot give up as long as there is even a sliver of hope.

Even the slightest mistake could lead to a lifetime of regret and an unbearable death.

These people swept away their slump, racked their brains, and narrowed down the scope of their search, no longer having to struggle in this vast sea of ​​books.

As a result, the search speed increased, and a moment later, someone else exclaimed in surprise.

"Found it...found it...Master, please look!" An old monk shouted excitedly, his voice trembling.

After saying this, he held the book high, and when a servant took it and brought it over, the old monk could recite the contents of the book from memory.

"The master of the three incarnations of the Living Buddha, in the Journey to the West, there is a mountain in the west called Kunlun. Kunlun has a peak, and in the peak is a spirit. This peak is a spiritual mountain, and in the peak is a temple, which is Leiyin Temple!"

"Splash!"

One by one, the people present stood up, their faces filled with horror. The news they had just heard had already surprised them enough, and they were filled with great anticipation and hope.

However, the biography of the three Living Buddhas is somewhat vague. It only mentions that the Buddhist kingdom exists and that the Vulture Palace in the Great Snow Mountain may have originated from there, but it does not record anything useful in detail.

However, this secret Journey to the West chronicle contains too much: "In the west there is a mountain called Kunlun. Kunlun has a peak, and in the peak is a spirit. This peak is a spiritual mountain, and in the peak is a temple, which is Leiyin Temple!"

Doesn't this mean that the legendary Western Paradise, the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling, is located there?

It's important to know that Leiyin Temple has always been part of mythical legends, and in many people's minds, this place doesn't actually exist.

Even these old monks, who were devout believers in the Buddha, always thought it was a mysterious and unpredictable place, in another dimension, and that it could only be reached after death.

However, there are now records in this annals that things like the Western Paradise and Mount Ling, which shouldn't exist, actually do.

Moreover, it's located in the Kunlun Mountains?

That place has been steeped in mythology throughout history, including the Jade Void Palace and the Kunlun Immortal Gate. Now, someone is actually telling Jiang Bai that there is a Buddhist kingdom here.

Could the legendary Leiyin Temple be among them?

This shocked Jiang Bai, as the Great Thunderclap Temple was not among the Ten Great Immortal Sects, and it didn't even exist in any of the Immortal Sects.

Occasionally there are a few Buddhist, Taoist, or immortal sects, but they are actually just putting on a show and practicing Taoist methods.

Now that such a record has suddenly appeared in these ancient books, it's no wonder Jiang Bai was so shocked.

In fact, it wasn't just him who was horrified.

Everyone around stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief. No one questioned the authenticity of the unique record of the three generations of Living Buddhas; the Living Buddhas were true gods living among humans.

The records of Lingjiu Palace in Daxueshan Mountain could not possibly be wrong.

If that's the case, then... does this legendary Buddhist kingdom really exist?

And... it's in the Kunlun Mountains, not far from them?

Chapter 1133 Heirloom

The news was so shocking that the thousands of people in the room stood there dumbfounded, and the huge room was completely silent.

"Keep searching! You must find out every clue! Find out where the Third Ancestor went back then, and when his Journey to the West chronicle recorded those events."

"We will find it even if we have to search the entire Lingjiu Palace."

At Jiang Bai's command, everyone around him sped up their work again. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present realized what was happening and began searching with great enthusiasm.

As it turns out, the historical records of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain are very complete, as it is a powerful sect that has survived for thousands of years without major changes.

The content of the Journey to the West Chronicle was quickly determined to be the events of the twelfth year of the Third Living Buddha.

That year, the Third Living Buddha was traveling abroad, accompanied by his disciples. The record states: "He traveled three hundred li west of the Great Snow Mountain, then two hundred li east, and entered Kunlun."

"Kunlun has twelve peaks, shrouded in mist. A living Buddha once entered and returned after three months."

"When the disciple inquired about his whereabouts, the Living Buddha remained silent!"

"This is it!" Jiang Bai immediately concluded that this should be the so-called Western Paradise, the location of the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling.

This description perfectly matches Jiang Bai and others' speculations.

In Jiang Bai's mind, the so-called Great Thunderclap Temple was not a place where Buddha resided, but rather something similar to a celestial sect, a place where a group of powerful Buddhist cultivators lived.

It's just that over the centuries, the legends have turned into myths, making that place seem increasingly mysterious. Whether it's really that mysterious or not, only heaven knows.

However, Jiang Bai didn't believe it. Just like Jin'ao Island and Yuxu Palace, in myths and legends, they were described as gods during the Investiture of the Gods, but were they really that powerful?

Obviously not!

This was especially true for ordinary people, particularly in an era when technology was not advanced and humanity was still in a state of ignorance.

But in Jiang Bai's eyes, they were just a group of powerful guys.

Jiang Bai's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching an extremely high level. He has seen countless things, including the Hall of Heroes, the Holy See, immortal sects, and demonic sects, and has a very good understanding of their true nature.

In his view, the reason it was passed down as a myth was entirely due to the weakness and ignorance of humankind, which led to the spread of misinformation and the formation of myths in later generations.

But that's not the case.

"If it was a small world where Buddhist masters gathered, why did it remain hidden for a thousand years after leaving behind such a glorious legend?"

No, no, it may have been more than a thousand years. Apart from a Vulture Palace and a Buddhist kingdom that originated from Vulture Peak, there is no other information related to this place.

Based on Jiang Bai's understanding of these experts' personalities, they were also human beings, and no human being could forget about fighting. No matter what kind of magic you cultivated or what kind of person you were, as long as you were human, you would fight.

Where there is conflict, there will always be traces.

These Buddhist masters do not engage in production and live a life detached from worldly affairs. The fact that the Great Thunder Temple is hidden among the Kunlun Mountains and does not stand out is clearly abnormal.

This made Jiang Bai suspicious and speculative.

"Master, we..."

"Owner..."

As Jiang Bai fell into thought, the surrounding crowd had already turned their attention to him. Their eyes were practically blazing with fire, their gazes gleaming. Even the frail old monk was no exception, looking at Jiang Bai with hopeful eyes.

Jiang Bai understood their meaning and knew what they were thinking.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I know what you're thinking. If this matter hadn't been discovered, we would have let it go. But since we've found some clues, we should investigate."

"Master, I am willing to serve you and go to West Kunlun!" On the spot, Errilun knelt down and respectfully called out to Jiang Bai.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The allure of the Buddhist kingdom and the unwavering faith drew these people to volunteer, even though everyone knew that this path might not be easy.

"No, I'll go myself. Your strength is far inferior!" Unfortunately, Jiang Bai refused their offer and decided to go himself.

Just then, the old monk who had first discovered the scriptures stood up last, holding a yellowed sheepskin scroll, and said with a solemn expression: "Master Living Buddha, according to historical records, when the Third Living Buddha crossed the sea to the west, he brought a string of Buddhist beads with him. These Buddhist beads were left by the founder of the sect."

"When they returned, one of the prayer beads was missing. The disciples asked why, but the Third Living Buddha remained silent. However, the disciples who accompanied him on the westward journey guessed that the prayer beads had a profound meaning."

"We must find this thing now!"

His words startled Jiang Bai for a moment, then he realized that neither Leiyin Temple nor the Buddhist Kingdom would be easy to find. For thousands of years, the West Kunlun Mountains had been sparsely populated, but they were not without human traces.

If such a place truly existed open to the public, people would have gone in long ago, and it wouldn't have remained hidden until now.

Judging from the nature of those immortal sects, Buddhism and Taoism must have some kind of inherited artifact, serving as a key or proof of entry; otherwise, that place would already be overcrowded.

As the world's third largest religion, it once had countless followers in ancient times. If this holy site were discovered, the consequences would be self-evident.

So the old monk's words served as a reminder to him.

"Buddhist beads? Where are they?" Jiang Bai asked, frowning.

That should be an heirloom; where is it now?

As he spoke, Jiang Bai looked at Er Rilun, who was now the head steward of the entire Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain and should know more about things here than he did.

Of course, he didn't forget to look at the other Dharma Kings around him.

The group exchanged glances, then gave each other wry smiles, their strange looks making Jiang Bai feel uneasy.

Finally, Errilun respectfully said to Jiang Bai, "Master, shouldn't that thing... that thing be with you?"

"Me?" Jiang Bai was completely taken aback. What did this mean?

How did this thing end up in my hands?

That day, the Living Buddha Abu Danzeng didn't give me any inheritance. He just chatted with me for a while and then led me into the bronze relic.

They didn't give me anything else either.

How did this thing end up in my hands, according to these people?

These guys are blatantly lying, aren't they?

"Um, this string of prayer beads disappeared along with its eleventh owner back then, along with the secret manual of the 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.' Back then..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai understood what they meant. He had previously told people that he had accidentally obtained the inheritance of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill".

Unexpectedly, along with the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill," these Buddhist prayer beads were also lost...

Chapter 1134 Determined to Win

In their eyes, since they had found the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill," they must have found the Buddhist beads, because the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" was a closely guarded secret of the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain.

Jiang Bai must have found the remains of the eleventh incarnation to obtain this item. Even if Jiang Bai hadn't found it, the place where he obtained the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" must have contained it. That's why they made this claim.

Having figured this out, Jiang Bai quickly waved his hand and said, "Yes, I understand. I'll handle it. You don't need to worry about it."

After saying that, he added, "You're all tired. The things have been found. You've all worked hard. You can rest and recuperate in the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain for a while. I will take care of finding this Buddha. If we find the Buddha Kingdom one day, I will definitely let you enter."

One sentence was enough to make everyone around him prostrate themselves in gratitude.

Jiang Bai didn't say anything more about it and turned to leave.

He agreed so readily, but he was actually worried sick inside.

Things weren't as simple as he made them out to be; the heirloom item was definitely not in his possession.

His "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" was obtained entirely through the system and had absolutely no connection to the eleventh living Buddha who had disappeared.

He really can't produce it now.

But he couldn't tell anyone about this, which really worried Jiang Bai.

After thinking it over, Jiang Bai went directly to find Cheng Tiangang. He was the one who told him the news, and Jiang Bai didn't believe that he knew nothing about it.

After a while, the call connected. Jiang Bai recounted everything that had happened in the past few days without hiding anything, and directly asked Cheng Tiangang, "Old Cheng, no one in the Lingjiu Palace of the Great Snow Mountain knows about this news. How did you find out? How did you know that such a peculiar message was hidden in the secret historical records of my Lingjiu Palace of the Great Snow Mountain?"

"Hey, do you even need to know that? I don't know your so-called Three Living Buddhas, and nobody here knows them either. But the Great Thunderclap Temple, it was once a notorious and formidable place. Back when Qin Shi Huang destroyed Wu, the Thunderclap Temple disappeared and never reappeared."

"Based on the clues we have gathered from the Southern Frontier Witch God Sect, the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain may be related to the Great Thunderclap Temple, which is why I'm reminding you of this."

"I didn't expect you to actually find something!"

"To be honest, this was unexpected. If you ask me, I really can't give you a clear answer."

Jiang Bai was taken aback by these words, and replied noncommittally, "A clue?"

"Indeed, clues. After Qin Shi Huang destroyed Wu, many sects disappeared, among which the Yellow Spring Demon Sect suffered heavy losses. You cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, so you couldn't possibly not know that this ultimate technique is derived from the Yellow Spring Demon Sect's Demon Dragon Prison Suppression Technique, right?"

"Speaking of which, I should ask you about this. My grandfather asked me to test you to see if you're a member of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, but I'm too lazy to test you. Just tell me directly whether you are or not!"

"As we all know, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill only has thirteen levels. Your current strength far exceeds these thirteen levels of martial arts, at least fourteen levels."

"The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique is no longer enough for you, unless you switch to another technique or find the Demon Dragon Suppressing Prison Technique. That's why our people here asked me to test you!"

Cheng Tiangang and Jiang Bai have a really good relationship. He is also straightforward and decisive. When the Southern Border Witch God Sect asked him to test Jiang Bai, he directly stated his intentions, showing an attitude of "I treat you as a friend, take it or leave it."

"Of course not, I don't even know what the Yellow Springs Demon Sect is! How could I have anything to do with them? I just switched to cultivating a unique skill and obtained it in the Lishan Mausoleum. Keep this information to yourself, don't spread it! What, does your Southern Border Witch God Sect have a grudge against the Yellow Springs Demon Sect?"

Jiang Bai replied irritably, saying that although he had lied, it wasn't entirely false; he really had no connection with the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.

"It's not a holiday, we had a minor disagreement, but that happened so many years ago, I've long forgotten about it. I'm asking you because I'm afraid you might really be a member of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, the karma would be too great!"

"You should know that the Yellow Springs Demon Sect was infamous back then. Tsk tsk, it was a leader in the entire demonic path. It competed with the immortal sects for supremacy, killing countless experts and causing bloodshed."

"They have quite a few enemies."

"Of course, I can't compare to you. You're the enemy of the whole world, spanning East and West, with enemies all over the world. It's really hard to find someone like you throughout history!"

Jiang Bai was speechless after hearing those words. He wiped his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

The way you say that makes it sound like you're incredibly disliked.

"I've heard some of what you're saying, but why are you telling me this nonsense? It seems like we've gone off-topic."

Jiang Bai responded with dissatisfaction, not wanting to argue with Cheng Tiangang about this matter, because he was never in a favorable position, and his reputation was indeed... quite bad.

The world is our enemy; this is not a joke, it's the truth.

If it weren't for his strong backing and the intervention of several powerful figures, Jiang Bai would probably still be on the run.

"Off-topic? No, not at all. You know the Yellow Springs Demon Sect is ruthless and fearsome, but it was precisely because of their ruthlessness and fearlessness that they suffered heavy losses when Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Wu Kingdom!"

"Later, they were besieged and almost wiped out."

"And the sect that finally annihilated them was the Great Thunderclap Temple. It is said that all the supernatural powers, secret techniques, treasures and secret manuals of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect were taken away by the Great Thunderclap Temple in one fell swoop."

"It was after that incident that the Great Thunder Temple completely disappeared within a few decades and never reappeared."

"The Great Thunderclap Temple is gone, the Yellow Springs Demon Sect is gone, but there is now the Great Snow Mountain Lingjiu Palace, which produced a strange 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill' derived from the 'Demon Dragon Suppressing Prison Technique', and it also has a group of Buddhist masters. Tell me... how can they not have anything to do with the Great Thunderclap Temple?"

"To be honest, we're not the only ones who suspect Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain. In fact, someone tested the waters long ago. The eleventh Living Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple disappeared and died a violent death in a foreign land. Do you really think that was just a coincidence?"

"After failing to find out the results of the investigation and discovering that they were not remnants of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, but simply Buddhist and Taoist masters, and that Buddhist elements had been incorporated into the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, we gave up the investigation."

These words immediately lit up Jiang Bai's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Someone attacked the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain? They were the ones who killed the eleventh Living Buddha? Who was it?"

His words were filled with urgency, because finding these people might lead to finding that string of Buddhist beads, which were now suspected to be a heirloom, and Jiang Bai was determined to obtain them.

Chapter 1135 Don't Mess Around

Although Jiang Bai didn't know what he might encounter after obtaining this item and entering the Great Thunderclap Temple.

It's unclear whether he will gain immense benefits and powerful assistance there, or be suppressed in one fell swoop, but Jiang Bai is eagerly anticipating that place.

One sentence made Cheng Tiangang's expression turn stern, and the other party warned warily, "Jiang Bai, what do you want to do?"

"Your going there to be a living Buddha is just a formality, a way to leave behind a legacy. What does Lingjiu Palace have to do with you? Whether their previous masters live or die is none of your business, right?"

"I'm warning you, your troubles are just over. It took a lot of effort to settle this, so don't act impulsively. If anything happens again, I won't be able to help you!"

You could tell he was genuinely frightened by Jiang Bai, afraid that Jiang Bai might start a fight without thinking and cause more trouble.

Jiang Bai is currently at the top of the blacklists of various immortal sects. If it weren't for the combined efforts of the Supreme Dao, the Southern Border Witch God Sect, and the Ten Thousand Saints Sect, as well as Xu Changsheng and Ye Jingshen spreading rumors outside, Jiang Bai might not have been able to return unscathed.

According to Cheng Tiangang, this is a sensitive time, and it's already a big favor that others aren't causing trouble for Jiang Bai, so Jiang Bai shouldn't create trouble out of nothing.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

If anything else happens, there's really nothing he can do to help.

"Uh..." Jiang Bai hadn't expected Cheng Tiangang's reaction.

He gave a wry smile and said dryly, "Don't worry, I was just asking out of curiosity. I definitely won't cause any trouble for anyone."

"Really not?" Cheng Tiangang still didn't believe it.

"real!"

After confirming several times, Cheng Tiangang slowly said, "Actually, this matter is just a bit old, but it's not a secret."

"Many people knew about this back then, and it was even tacitly approved by several sects. They just wanted to test the mighty Lingjiu Palace in the snowy mountains of Tibet. The one who made the move was none other than someone you are familiar with..."

"Jade Void Palace!"

"Damn it!" Jiang Bai's face darkened immediately. If it were another sect, Jiang Bai would still have ways to deal with it. Whether it was coercion, bribery, or underhanded tactics, he was willing to do it.

Anyway, it's not like he hasn't done this kind of thing before. It's just setting a trap. He'll find an excuse, wait for things to calm down, and then deal with them.

Upon hearing that it was Yuxu Palace, Jiang Bai's arrogance immediately diminished.

The reason is simple: Jade Void Palace is a behemoth, and it is almost impossible to take it down. It is a huge sect that can rival the Supreme Dao and make Golden Turtle Island inferior.

There are many experts inside, and the Jade Void Palace Master, Daoist Yuanyuan, is someone who can rival the Supreme Dao Master.

They also orchestrated this attack on Jiang Bai.

This whole thing was finally settled, and Jiang Bai must have been out of his mind to go and recruit them!

So upon hearing about the Jade Void Palace, Jiang Bai could only curse. It seemed that the matter of the Buddhist beads would have to wait and be discussed later; there was no opportunity for the time being.

The Jade Void Palace sect is vast and has a large number of members. Even if Jiang Bai wanted to make an enemy of someone and was willing to do anything to take them down, he wouldn't know who to turn to.

If this thing were in someone else's hands, that would be fine, but if it's in the Jade Void Palace's treasury, unless you break down their gates, you can only dream of getting it.

"A sect like Jade Void Palace is targeting the Great Snow Mountain Spirit Vulture Palace? How could they do something like that!"

Jiang Bai couldn't help but mutter, extremely dissatisfied with the fact that a sect like Jade Void Palace bullied the weak.

"What can't they do? Haven't they done this kind of thing countless times?" Cheng Tiangang sneered. He also had a great disdain for immortal sects like Jade Void Palace.

He then added, "Speaking of which, you know the person who did it back then, Xiahou Zhongde from Yuxu Palace. Back then, he was just a greenhorn, but he was considered an outstanding outer disciple in Yuxu Palace."

"Yu Xu Palace is, after all, a celestial sect. It's too embarrassing for them to send any experts to deal with a secular martial arts sect, so Xiahou Zhongde stepped forward. I heard that he was even injured in that battle."

Xiahou Zhongde?

Jiang Bai was no stranger to this person. Back when he left Lishan Mausoleum, this old guy had sworn to kill him. Later, he was so scared by the Supreme Daoist Master that he fled in panic.

However, Jiang Bai had a deep impression of this person because Xiahou Zhongde had put a lot of pressure on him at that time.

Looking back now, that shameless old man who bullied the weak must have been at the peak of the Great Celestial Realm, a level higher than myself now.

However, he is only highly skilled in cultivation; it wouldn't be difficult for Jiang Bai to kill him.

To put it bluntly, killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken!

The only problem is that killing him will stir up a hornet's nest. The Jade Void Palace will definitely come out in full force to fight him to the death. After all, he is a Supreme Elder at the peak of the Great Heaven Realm and a very important figure in the Jade Void Palace.

If we kill him, the Jade Void Palace will definitely not let it go. They will probably mobilize all their forces, and even the Jade Void Palace Master, Daoist Yuanyuan, will likely have to take action personally.

He'll be in danger then.

The pent-up anger that had just been suppressed was about to surge up again, but this time there was no one to plead for them.

Jiang Bai fell silent for a moment, pondering the question. Cheng Tiangang called him several times, but he did not respond.

After a long pause, Cheng Tiangang finally lost his temper and roared, "Jiang Bai, what are you doing? Didn't you hear me? What do you want to do? You're not going to attack Xiahou Zhongde, are you?"

"Don't you dare mess around, kid. That's a peak Grand Heaven Realm expert, a renowned master of Jade Void Palace who has dominated the world for hundreds of years! He's not someone you can handle!"

"Even if you can handle him, you can't actually kill him. Otherwise, even the Supreme Dao Master won't be able to protect you. Xiahou Zhongde is a direct disciple of Daoist Yuanyuan!"

"When that old fellow Yuan Yuan Dao Ren goes berserk, even my grandfather has to give him a wide berth, and Xu Changsheng has to show him respect! Don't go looking for trouble!"

Jiang Bai simply replied impatiently, "I know, I know, I'm not stupid."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Cheng Tiangang on the other end extremely worried. He called several more times, but Jiang Bai didn't answer. Helpless, Cheng Tiangang could only harass him with text messages again.

Most of them were trying to dissuade Jiang Bai from acting impulsively.

Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow at this, then told Cheng Tiangang to rest assured that he would not make any rash moves for the time being.

Upon hearing Jiang Bai's words, Cheng Tiangang knew that Jiang Bai was definitely going to take action against Xiahou Zhongde. However, since Jiang Bai said that he would not act rashly for the time being, there should be no immediate disaster. Therefore, Cheng Tiangang did not continue to ask any questions and simply told Jiang Bai to take care of himself.

But if you don't know something, that's fine. But once you do know, it's like a demon has grown in your heart. It's hard to remove and keeps growing. Jiang Bai's desire to kill Xiahou Zhongde grew stronger and stronger.

Chapter 1136 Officer Da Ye

"Damn it, let's do it! It's just Xiahou Zhongde. I'll take him down and still be carefree. If these bastards cause me any more trouble, I'll just run away."

"You can hide in the Hall of Heroes for a year and still emerge as a hero. Who knows, you might even advance to the Supreme Celestial Rank. If I don't slaughter you all, the blood will flow like a river!"

With a heavy heart and gritted teeth, Jiang Bai, who was impatient, made a decision.

In the end, he did not follow Cheng Tiangang's plan and prepared to kill Xiahou Zhongde and take the Buddhist beads from him.

However, to avoid losing more than he gained by trying to steal a chicken, Jiang Bai decided to be patient for a while and investigate, asking someone to check whether Xiahou Zhongde had handed over the items when he did this.

Looking at that old man's face, he was fierce and domineering, with a hooked nose and triangular eyes. You could tell at a glance that he was no good, and his heart was very dark. He probably saw that the Buddhist beads were good and swindled them.

If that's the case, killing him is just right. First, it'll vent my anger; second, it'll be my revenge; and third, I'll get something from him.

If the money has already been handed over, then that's fine. There's no need to kill someone for no reason and make an enemy of the Jade Void Palace.

Although the two sides seem to have always been enemies, several big players have stepped in and temporarily settled the matter. Since there is no benefit to be gained, Jiang Bai has no reason to cause trouble.

He's rich and powerful, and he's living a very comfortable life. Why would he make himself uncomfortable?

However, Jiang Bai had no foundation within the immortal sects, and even less so within a behemoth like the Jade Void Palace.

So he had to ask someone for help.

Asking others for help is definitely out of the question. Putting aside whether Cheng Laohu has the ability or not, even if he does, he certainly won't help me. The moment I speak to him, he can immediately guess what I'm thinking.

It's not realistic to look for him.

Yang Wudi... Okay, Cheng Laohu just couldn't contact him for a month, but for the past two months, Yang Wudi has almost completely disappeared from the planet. He's vanished without a trace. You're looking for him? You might as well not look at all!

As for Li Qingdi... well, who knows, he might just turn around and sell himself.

This guy has a really good relationship with those guys from the Immortal Sect!

To be honest, they're family, especially after Cheng Laohu muttered something about Xu Changsheng releasing Zhao Wuji from his confinement.

Because once Zhao Wuji returns, Jiang Bai will definitely side with him, and Zhao Wuji and Li Qingdi...

The relationship between the two of them can only be described as... well, let's just say it's not good.

It would be a miracle if Li Qingdi helped him; it would be quite generous of him not to kick him while he was down.

After much thought, Jiang Bai thought of Ye Qingguo again.

Their relationship wasn't great, but they had shared a night of passion, and Ye Qingguo wasn't so indifferent to him anymore. Plus, with Ye Qingcheng's connections, she didn't refuse when Jiang Bai asked her for help twice.

This guy is determined to take advantage of the weak, so he thought of Ye Qingguo again.

Ye Qingguo is the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao. The Supreme Dao and the Jade Void Palace have been fighting openly and secretly for thousands of years. If they didn't have a few spies in the Jade Void Palace, not only would Jiang Bai not believe it, but the Jade Void Palace itself wouldn't believe it either.

With Ye Jingshen's connections, her influence extends throughout the cultivation world. Going to her... is definitely the right thing to do.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Bai bid farewell to Lingjiu Palace on the Great Snow Mountain. Before leaving, he instructed Errilun to take good care of these old monks and not to let them get involved in the affairs of the Buddhist Kingdom. If these people wanted to stay, they could stay at Lingjiu Palace on the Great Snow Mountain to study the scriptures.

You can leave whenever you want.

He personally handled matters concerning the Buddhist kingdom.

E Rilun readily agreed, and Jiang Bai then boarded a private plane to return to Tiandu.

After getting off the plane, the first thing Jiang Bai did was call Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian was Jiang Bai's family member and eyes and ears in Tiandu. He knew the movements of all the people Jiang Bai was related to.

"Xiao Tian, ​​where is Ye Qingguo?"

"Miss Da Ye? She's at work right now. You don't know that she resigned from Imperial Enterprises two weeks ago. She said she didn't want to do some meaningless work here and wanted to find a job on her own, so she left."

"It should be working hours now."

Miss Da Ye is Ye Qingguo, and Miss Xiao Ye is Ye Qingcheng. These are the honorifics used by Jiang Bai's subordinates, such as Xiao Tian, ​​to distinguish between Ye Qingguo and Ye Qingcheng.

"She changed jobs again? What did she do?" Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, somewhat taken aback.

To be honest, given Ye Qingguo's personality, Jiang Bai knew she wouldn't last long in the dead-end job he arranged for her.

However, that was just to give her an initial contact with society; I didn't expect her to adapt to the new job so quickly.

"Uh, police." Xiao Tian paused for a moment and replied dryly.

"Oh, a police officer? What? A police officer?! How did she become a police officer? How did she do it?" Jiang Bai said "Oh," then came to his senses and asked in astonishment.

Ye Qingguo ran off to become a policeman?

How... how did they do that?

You have to understand, being a police officer isn't something just anyone can do. Ye Qingguo had no diploma, no experience, and hadn't even taken an exam, so how did he become a police officer so quickly?

"Um, boss, this isn't just a matter of a phone call. Miss Da Ye was watching TV the other day and said that she's very capable and that there's no point in just hanging around here. She wants to be a police officer who eradicates evil completely, so she asked me to arrange it."

"Hmm, you mean this... I made a call in your name, can they not make arrangements?"

Xiao Tian gave a wry smile and said dryly. After saying this, he remembered something and quickly said, "Boss, I wanted to arrange an office job for Miss Da Ye. It was really not my idea for her to become a criminal police officer. My friend at the Tiandu Bureau told me that this was arranged personally by Minister Cheng."

"It seems that Miss Da Ye called him. No one dares to disobey Minister Cheng's orders, don't you think?"

Jiang Bai was speechless about this, but he didn't blame Xiao Tian. That was Cheng Tiangang's territory, and it was his business how he wanted to arrange things. Ye Qingguo also had a lot of face with Cheng Tiangang.

Besides, even if Cheng Tiangang doesn't help, as long as she makes a phone call to Li Qingdi or Yang Wudi, those two old scoundrels who are still delusional and unwilling to give up will be eager to get things done for her.

This is something Xiaotian can't stop.

Therefore, there is no reason to blame them.

"Where is she now? I need to talk to her about something." Jiang Bai asked with a helpless sigh.

"Well, speaking of this, boss... I really have to tell you, Miss Da Ye has been a detective for two weeks now, and she's already turned Tiandu upside down. Right now, she's sitting at Zhongtian Group, insisting that the Wu brothers, Wu Tian and Wu Zhong, broke the law and are trying to arrest them. They called me for help, and I don't know what to do."

Chapter 1137 The Mocking Physique

Jiang Bai was speechless at these words. The Wu brothers, Wu Tian and Wu Zhong, were among the first people he met in Tiandu. Later, they were determined to follow him around, so they could be considered half of his own people.

To be honest, these two brothers didn't have a clean past, but that was in the past. Ever since they helped Lao Cheng with that matter and dealt with Khun Sa, they've long since cleared their names and are now perfectly respectable people.

Why would Ye Qingguo approach them?

Um, what does this mean? If we're looking for them, does that mean we also need to look for ourselves?

Jiang Bai was speechless and also felt a pang of regret. He rubbed his temples and whispered to Xiao Tian, ​​"I'll be there right away."

After saying that, he walked out of the airport, where a private car was already waiting. Someone cleared the way, and they sped all the way to Zhongtian Group.

Upon entering, I noticed an eerie atmosphere, with staff members whispering amongst themselves.

One of the receptionists knew Jiang Bai; Jiang Bai had been here before and she was the one who greeted him, leaving a deep impression on him.

When Jiang Bai inquired about the whereabouts of Wu Tian and Wu Zhong, she hurriedly led Jiang Bai upstairs without asking a single extra question. She knew that Jiang Bai was a big shot, a very, very big shot, and even the powerful and influential CEOs Wu would bow and scrape before him.

Upon reaching the 88th floor, they found a large crowd gathered outside, including Wu Zhong's secretary. Upon seeing Jiang Bai, the secretary quickly and respectfully greeted him, "Mr. Jiang."

"What's going on?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.

"I don't know. Both Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu are inside now. Officer Ye wanted to arrest them. They were about to leave with him, but Brother Xiao Tian called, so they're still waiting."

He then pointed to the office in the distance, where Ye Qingguo, Wu Tian, ​​and Wu Zhong were standing facing each other. Behind Ye Qingguo were two middle-aged criminal police officers wiping away sweat.

As for the Wu brothers, Wu Tian and Wu Zhong, they stood there with bitter expressions, showing no trace of fierceness.

"Are you leaving or not! I'll ask you two one more time!" Just as they approached, they heard Ye Qingguo's icy voice.

"Officer Ye, let's go. We'll cooperate with whatever you need. But Brother Xiao Tian just called and said..." Wu Tian replied bitterly. To be honest, it wasn't really a big deal for them.

The past has already been cleared up, and the internal files have been deleted. The reason for this visit is that Wu Tian got drunk a few days ago and beat up a kid. I didn't expect that kid would dare to call the police!

Calling the police wouldn't have been a big deal; it would have been resolved in minutes under normal circumstances. But unexpectedly, this matter fell into Ye Qingguo's hands.

He knew about this Miss Ye. Although she hadn't been in Tiandu for long, she was Miss Ye's older sister and someone close to Master Jiang. How could he dare to offend her?

Sure enough, when the other party came to his door, he was ready to surrender, but unexpectedly, Xiao Tian called and told him to wait.

As a result, he got stuck in a stalemate with the man, but he couldn't do it openly, so he had to resort to gentle persuasion and persistent pleading. Neither of the brothers had ever experienced such a situation before, and they were in a very awkward position.

"What he says is his business, but since you hit someone, I'm going to arrest you!"

Ye Qingguo raised an eyebrow and said coldly.

"What's wrong?" Just then, Jiang Bai walked in with a smile.

Seeing this scene, he looked puzzled, but what surprised him even more was that Ye Qingguo blushed when she saw him. Of course, it was fleeting, but Jiang Bai still noticed it.

I don't understand what's wrong with Ye Qingguo.

Taking a deep breath and straightening his chest, Ye Qingguo said, "Is this your friend? He's acting recklessly, beating up people he doesn't even know."

"Uh." Jiang Bai was speechless upon hearing this, thinking it was a big deal.

After thinking for a moment, he tried to speak up for Wu Tian, ​​but before he could say anything, Wu Tian took the initiative to say, "Officer Ye, I was wrong in this matter, I accept the punishment, just arrest me. Actually, I wanted to go with you just now, but Xiao Tian called and said that Master Jiang was coming, so I didn't leave."

"I'm willing to punish you, whatever you say is fine, it's all up to you."

This guy knows how to handle things, which made Jiang Bai chuckle. Ye Qingguo glanced at him, then at Jiang Bai, and said in a deep voice, "The person involved doesn't have any major problems. As long as you handle it well, we won't investigate further."

Wu Tian knew this was because of Jiang Bai's influence, so he didn't dare to delay and quickly agreed. He then left with the two police officers who were constantly wiping their sweat.

Although if we disregard this matter, there would be no problem at all. For such a trivial matter, who could do anything to these two brothers?

But there's nothing we can do. She's Jiang Ye's woman, so how can we not be tactless? Judging by the situation, she might become the boss's wife one day. If we don't give her face, do we not want to live in this world?

I'll just treat it as a game. Nothing will happen if I go. The kid who called the police has already made arrangements. He knows who Wu Tian is, and he's behaving himself now.

Wu Zhong thanked Jiang Bai and Qingguo, then tactfully left, leaving the room to the two of them, as he could tell they had something to say.

"Why did you become a policeman? What were you thinking?" After everyone left, Jiang Bai asked curiously. How could a great cultivator at the Middle Heaven level suddenly decide to fight demons and protect the righteous path?

What are you doing here as a people's police officer?

"I was bored, and I came here because I found the TV show quite interesting. My mentor said I should experience the various aspects of human life. I think this job is pretty good. It allows me to meet all kinds of people. Recently, my state of mind has changed a bit, and I can vaguely see that I'm advancing in my cultivation level."

"I estimate that I should be able to advance to the Great Celestial Rank by the end of the year or the beginning of the new year."

One sentence left Jiang Bai speechless: This is talent!

Damn it, he was exhausted like a dog, and with the system being such a huge bug, being chased for thousands of miles, and having to flee in panic, he finally managed to reach the Great Celestial Rank.

Of course, it's a high-level Celestial Realm, but Ye Qingguo, what does he do? He just plays around here for a few days and is already on the verge of breaking through.

This qualification is far superior to his.

Jiang Bai gave Ye Qingguo a strange look, not wanting to make things difficult for himself on this issue, and said, "I have something I'd like you to help me with!"

"Something's up again!" Ye Qingguo frowned, somewhat annoyed.

Because Jiang Bai always had something to ask her, and it was never anything good.

It's only been a few days since the last incident? How come there's trouble again? They want my help? To leak information again? Or to help them do something bad?

What does this guy do?! Is he born with a sarcastic streak?

"Forehead..."

Hearing this, Jiang Bai looked slightly embarrassed and scratched his head.

To be honest, nothing good ever comes from contacting them, which is quite embarrassing, even though they don't seem to be strangers to me.

Chapter 1138 Ye Qingguo Asks for Help

"No, I need your help investigating someone. This isn't about spreading rumors."

Jiang Bai explained that Ye Qingguo wasn't his mouthpiece, and he had to make things clear to her before asking for help.

"Investigate someone? Who?" Ye Qingguo asked with considerable curiosity.

Then, almost as if possessed, he added, "Is it Sikong Mingyue from the Star-Picking Tower? Why can't you wait?"

She herself didn't know why she said those words, and her face turned red after she finished speaking.

"Uh, no."

"It's Xiahou Zhongde from Yuxu Palace!"

Jiang Bai smiled awkwardly. As expected, there are no secrets in the cultivation world. Ye Qingguo already knew that the Star-Picking Tower had compensated him with the compensation of a young lady.

Hmm, thinking about this, Jiang Bai thought of Nangong Xueyu from the Nangong family. Hmm, it's been a long time since I've spent the night there. Should I go to her place tonight?

It tastes pretty good.

"Xiahou Zhongde! Jiang Bai, what are you trying to do! Jade Void Palace is not like Star-Picking Tower; they are not to be trifled with! Xiahou Zhongde is no ordinary person either; he is a peak Great Heaven Realm expert, just one step away from stepping into the Supreme Heaven Realm and becoming a giant!"

Why are you investigating him?!

As soon as Jiang Bai finished speaking, Ye Qingguo was shocked. He was horrified to see Jiang Bai investigating Xiahou Zhongde for no reason!

That's not someone you can mess with.

"Here's the thing. Xiahou Zhongde ambushed the 11th Living Buddha of Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain several hundred years ago. That man had a great treasure on him. I hope you can help me investigate whether this thing is still in Xiahou Zhongde's hands."

"Did he hand it over to the treasury of Yuxu Palace, or did he keep it for himself? You know, I've only met Xiahou Zhongde once, but judging from that old guy's face, he's a selfish and self-serving fellow. I don't believe he'd be so selfless as to hand it over."

Jiang Bai didn't hide anything and told Ye Qingguo directly, not afraid that she would tell others.

First of all, regardless of whether she knows how or not, it wouldn't matter even if she told the Supreme Daoist about it.

The conflict between the Supreme Dao and the Jade Void Palace has existed for countless years. They would welcome any opportunity to strike at the Jade Void Palace and would naturally not betray themselves.

If he can kill Xiahou Zhongde after his conflict with the people of Yuxu Palace, those old guys from Taishangdao would probably be happy to see it happen.

If not, well, I don't really have much of a relationship with them anyway.

Therefore, Jiang Bai really had no worries about Ye Qingguo.

"What is it?" Ye Qingguo blinked and asked curiously. Then he found a black executive chair and sat down in the conference room, looking like he was about to have a long talk.

Jiang Bai's expression was quite strange. He hadn't seen Ye Qingguo for over a month, and she seemed so different from herself. She wasn't as cold as before, and her expressions were quite varied in front of him.

Jiang Bai had the illusion that this was not Ye Qingguo, but Ye Qingcheng.

Jiang Bai didn't speak, just looked at her strangely, making Ye Qingguo very uncomfortable. She subconsciously wiped her cheek and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

His words were quite gentle, which made Jiang Bai's hair stand on end.

Something unusual must be going wrong. Ye Qingguo's behavior is too abnormal.

"N-nothing! It's just a string of Buddhist prayer beads, golden prayer beads. That thing is very important to the Lingjiu Palace of the Great Snow Mountain, and to me!"

"If, and I mean if, the investigation results show that Xiahou Zhongde did not hand this over to Yuxu Palace, then what do you plan to do?" Ye Qingguo frowned as she looked at Jiang Bai, and said with some worry.

She hadn't known Jiang Bai for very long, but she believed she had seen through him. He was a complete troublemaker, and if Xiahou Zhongde hadn't handed it over but instead kept it for himself, she feared Jiang Bai would cause trouble.

In fact, the possibility is very, very high.

As far as she knew, the Lingjiu Palace in the Great Snow Mountain was just a secular martial arts sect, and the level of the people inside was not very high. There were very few experts who could enter the Star Rank.

Ye Qingguo didn't think there was anything good in such a sect, nor was it worth the attention of the Jade Void Palace. No one would care whether Xiahou Zhongde got anything or not.

Moreover, even if Xiahou Zhongde were to do so, he would probably pocket the money. Ye Qingguo was about 70% certain of this without needing to investigate.

That is why Ye Qingguo asked this question.

"Uh, nothing!" Jiang Bai touched his nose and said, trying to change the subject.

"Really not?" Ye Qingguo squinted, her face full of disbelief. The more Jiang Bai acted this way, the less she believed him.

"Ahem, just help me investigate, you don't need to worry about anything else!" Jiang Bai coughed awkwardly twice, then gave Ye Qingguo his instructions.

"Jiang Bai, I'm warning you, Xiahou Zhongde is different from the enemies you've encountered before. He's someone who has one foot in the Tai Tian position, and his strength is terrifying. My master once said that Xiahou Zhongde is a person…"

"Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Changsheng had blocked us and left some hidden dangers, we might already be one of the giants now. This person is extremely talented and has endless tricks up his sleeve."

"His cultivation is far superior to that of ordinary people. Even Feng Feifei, who was chasing you some time ago, was no match for him. The two of them fought once, and Feng Feifei was at a disadvantage!"

"If you're even thinking about getting involved with him, you'd better give up now!"

"Besides, your matter was only recently resolved. The Supreme Dao also paid a price to settle things. If you attack Xiahou Zhongde again, I'm afraid even my master won't protect you!"

"Yuxu Palace is not a small, insignificant place; it's not so easy to bully. Besides, Xiahou Zhongde is extremely important. You need to understand that…"

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Bai interrupted her: "I know, I know. I'm not stupid. I would never do anything recklessly if I wasn't sure!"

"Just help me investigate."

Hearing him say that, Ye Qingguo continued to talk about this issue, but instead sat there staring at Jiang Bai, making Jiang Bai feel a little uneasy. After a while, the other party said, "I can help you, but you have to do me a favor too."

"Help? You want my help?"

Jiang Bai was completely stunned. Ye Qingguo was asking him for help? Had the sun risen in the west?

Who is Ye Qingguo? She is the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao, the daughter of Ye Jingshen, and the disciple of the Supreme Dao Master. Let's leave aside her identity for now, and also leave aside the behemoth that is the Supreme Dao for now.

The mere presence of two giants, the Supreme Dao Master and Ye Jingshen, is enough to make everyone in the cultivation world hesitate, even Xu Changsheng and Ye Qingguo can treat them calmly.

Jiang Bai couldn't think of anything that could make her feel troubled!

Who in the cultivation world would be foolish enough to provoke her? No matter if you're a shaman, demon, immortal, or Buddha, provoking her is just courting death.

Chapter 1139 He's Here

Jiang Bai couldn't understand how he could help with Ye Qingguo's affairs.

Even if people in the cultivation world were completely out of their minds, they wouldn't bother her. So, what's left are the troubles of the secular world?

To be honest, Jiang Bai didn't need to help with this. It was a minor problem; Xiao Tian could handle it with just a word.

What a mess! Her mother's two former suitors, now shameless bastards claiming to be her uncle, are shamelessly acting as her protectors for the Ye sisters, Ye Qingguo and Ye Qingcheng, all day long.

Is there anything in this world that Yang Wudi and Li Qingdi combined cannot resolve?

To be honest, those two can't handle it...

Jiang Bai, well... he can't handle it either.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bai was greatly taken aback. Pointing to his own nose with one finger, he said speechlessly, "You... want my help?"

"Not bad! Is there a problem?" Ye Qingguo blinked and asked noncommittally.

"No, no problem." Jiang Bai couldn't say there was a problem when he needed someone's help.

He just looked at Ye Qingguo with a strange expression, wondering what she needed his help with.

Could it be that some blind bastard offended her, and since she couldn't easily take matters into her own hands or ask someone else, she had him do something underhanded and sneak up on her?

After taking a deep look, Ye Qingguo stood up, lowered the curtain on the transparent glass not far away, checked that no one was around, and then continued to stare at Jiang Bai before speaking.

"He...is here. I think you should go see him."

"Him?" Jiang Bai was taken aback, then looked at Ye Qingguo's silent expression and instantly understood.

The "he" Ye Qingguo mentioned must be that "wild man."

Well, whether it is true or not, that's what Jiang Bai thinks.

As a man with a strong possessive desire, after taking someone's virginity, he had some intention of taking her for himself. However, Ye Qingguo was always cold and aloof, and the situation was different from others. Jiang Bai was also always running around, so he didn't have time to make a move.

However, this does not mean that Jiang Bai tolerates the existence of "him".

Although, to be honest, Jiang Bai himself seems to be the one who's a wild man.

Jiang Bai was no stranger to this person. Although he had never met him, Jiang Bai knew of such a person before, and he might hold a significant place in Ye Qingguo's heart.

Before entering the Lishan Mausoleum, Ye Qingguo had personally come to find him, offering him valuable treasures to allow him to enter the mausoleum with her.

Unfortunately, Jiang Bai did not agree.

That person's cultivation level is probably not very high, not reaching the Great Star level or above, or perhaps they are too old and have exceeded the limit. In any case... they are not qualified.

I don't know what Ye Qingguo was thinking at the time, but he wanted him to go in.

Logically speaking, Ye Qingguo should have been aware of the trials and tribulations at Lishan Mausoleum.

But she still did it, probably because she had a backup plan at the time. It's just that "he" didn't come, and Jiang Bai didn't agree, which led to what happened later.

After leaving the Lishan Mausoleum, Ye Qingguo never mentioned this matter again. Unexpectedly, she suddenly brought it up today and asked for my help.

Should I go see him?

Um, what does this mean?

Jiang Bai looked strange.

"Me, see him? What for?" Jiang Bai couldn't help but ask, wondering what Ye Qingguo's intentions were.

Is this a setup to send me over to explain things to someone? Or is it a setup to send me over to get into a fight? Or something else entirely?

"Tell him for me to let bygones be bygones, to go back, and not to contact me again."

Ye Qingguo's calm remark only made Jiang Bai more puzzled.

What does this mean? Has she broken off her relationship with her ex-lover?

Should I let myself see him and dispel his idea?

Hmm, should I tell him about my relationship with Ye Qingguo to completely put an end to his hopes?

After saying this, Ye Qingguo glanced at Jiang Bai again: "Actually, there's nothing between us, but he's been good to me. We've known each other for a long time, and he's always taken care of me."

"Of course, I don't deny that he had some feelings for me. In fact, I didn't realize it at first, but as I got older, I did, because I never had any special feelings for him, so I started to distance myself from him."

"However, he didn't understand my thoughts and continued to pester me. He had been really good to me before, so I wanted to make it up to him by letting him enter the Lishan Mausoleum, which would be considered the end of this karmic debt."

Unfortunately, this plan did not succeed.

"But now that I think about it, I was a bit naive back then. I didn't owe him anything. In fact, I avoided him and tolerated his continued harassment. That was already out of consideration for our past relationship. I didn't do anything wrong to him."

"If that's the case, why bother talking about compensation? It's just that he doesn't understand this principle."

"He came to see me, but I didn't see him. I had already explained things to him, but he didn't understand. He's been looking for me for the past few days, hoping I would see him."

"I was originally planning to go see him myself today, but since you're here, it's perfect for you to go. I think his appearance will make him give up!"

"He has been in the Supreme Dao for many years, so he naturally understands the way of the Supreme Forgetfulness Method, which is to forget emotions when they are extreme. I have also been affected by this method recently, and your image often appears in my mind."

"It's okay to tell him some things; he'll understand and give up on him!"

Ye Qingguo spoke calmly, but her face turned slightly red as she spoke, especially when she mentioned that Jiang Bai's image had been appearing frequently recently. Her face turned as red as an apple.

However, she quickly recovered and then hinted to Jiang Bai that she could tell the other party something. What could she tell him? It must be that something happened between the two of them at the Lishan Mausoleum.

This surprised Jiang Bai, but also brought a hint of joy to his face.

He was about to put his hand on Jiang Bai's shoulder when he spoke, but Ye Qingguo slapped it away, stood up, and said to Jiang Bai with a fierce look, "Jiang Bai, show some respect. I'm just telling you about my current situation, not that you can lay a hand on me!"

"This is the last time this has happened. What I need to do now is forget you, to forget you after being so deeply in love. This feeling will probably become stronger in the future, and once it reaches a certain point, I will try my best to forget you!"

"So don't have any improper thoughts about me!"

This made Jiang Bai quite embarrassed. He touched his nose, chuckled, and didn't say anything.

Now he somewhat understood the meaning behind the Supreme Dao Master's words. This Supreme Forgetfulness Technique was truly bizarre; even someone like Ye Qingguo could have his mind affected.

At the same time, he understood why the Supreme Dao was protecting him—not Jiang Bai, but Ye Qingguo.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Ye Qingguo's implication was quite clear: this Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, which takes emotion to its extreme, can probably only be used once.

If something were to happen to him, Ye Qingguo would likely be brought to a standstill, which is why the Supreme Dao attaches such importance to this matter.

Chapter 1140 A Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat

Because Ye Qingguo's feelings for him had not yet fully developed and had not reached the point of being intensely affectionate, he naturally could not forget her.

Once he reaches that level, Jiang Bai figured he should pack his bags and leave Ye Qingguo's side.

It is difficult to make someone extremely passionate; it takes time and opportunity. Especially for someone like Ye Qingguo, you can't just find anyone. They must be exceptionally outstanding, and there are other methods involved. It's not as simple as it seems on the surface. Otherwise, the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique wouldn't be the supreme martial art of the Supreme Dao.

The methods involved are complex, but forgetting emotions is surprisingly simple.

When one is deeply in love, one cannot rely on external forces. As for forgetting love, it's not so easy for a highly skilled person to manipulate things; they might just end up destroying themselves.

Of course, these are just guesses. Jiang Bai doesn't know anything about the "Supreme Forgetfulness Technique," and everything is just speculation.

Having experienced an awkward situation, gained no advantage, and instead been lectured by Ye Qingguo, Jiang Bai quickly changed the subject.

"You said you're very familiar with him, that he used to treat you very well, that you've known each other for a long time, and that he's a very shrewd person?"

Ye Qingguo had previously said that "he" had been in the Taishangdao for many years, so Jiang Bai naturally assumed that the other party was a member of the Taishangdao.

In my imagination, this person should be a disciple of the Supreme Dao Sect. He should be quite young, but his talent is average. He met Ye Qingguo and naturally fell in love with this beautiful girl over time. He treated her well, which made Ye Qingguo feel somewhat guilty and that she should make amends.

However, the truth surprised Jiang Bai, because Ye Qingguo thought for a moment and replied, "He has indeed been in the Taishang Dao for many years, but he is not a disciple of the Taishang Dao."

"He is a monster, kept in captivity by the Supreme Dao."

"A monster?" Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Qingguo strangely, as if to say, "Girl, your taste is a bit too unique."

You don't like so many people, but you like monsters?

As if noticing the strange look in Jiang Bai's eyes, Ye Qingguo blushed and huffed, adopting a girlish demeanor. She said to Jiang Bai, "I told you, I have no feelings for him. It's just that he's infatuated with me. I didn't realize it before, but I did later, so I decided to make it up to him. I have no other intentions!"

Jiang Bai believed this.

Because the two sisters, Ye Qingguo and Ye Qingcheng, share a common trait: they never lie!

Of course, the two times they leaked the information on their own behalf were exceptions, but those were done through other people's mouths, not their own.

Moreover, it was Jiang Bai who led people astray in the end.

"What kind of monster?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.

He was eager to know what kind of demon race was so presumptuous as to want to pursue the Heavenly Beauty of the Supreme Dao.

You're a monster kept in captivity by the Supreme Dao, where do you get the courage to pursue the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao? Aren't you afraid that the Lord of the Supreme Dao will annihilate you in a heartbeat, leaving your body in pieces?

"A three-eyed toad!"

Three-eyed toad? Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment. Damn it, isn't this just a toad? At most, a big toad with three eyes.

No wonder he wasn't qualified to enter the Lishan Mausoleum. That place isn't open to just anyone; first of all, you have to be under the age limit.

Humans are judged by their birth age, while demons are judged by their age at which they take human form.

Secondly, there is strength.

The most important thing is connections. You see, apart from Jiang Bai, everyone who can go there has a deep connection with the right people.

The Ten Great Immortal Sects, the Southern Border Witch Clan, the Human Emperor Family, the Demon Clan's Giant Sect, and so on—without a strong foundation, meaning without a powerful force, no matter how outstanding you are, you can forget about getting in.

The three-eyed toad should be considered a variant. We don't know what kind of body it has, or its age, but its legs alone are not up to par.

What are the demon races kept in captivity by the immortal sects? To put it bluntly, they are slaves!

Their status was even lower than that of slaves.

A toad kept by the Supreme Dao actually wants to pursue the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dao? It really proves the saying, "A toad wants to eat swan meat!"

This guy is really overestimating himself.

"I know how to handle it, but there's one thing: what if this guy doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't appreciate it? You know... I have a bad temper!"

Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow and asked noncommittally.

"Don't kill him." Ye Qingguo frowned and gave this advice.

This surprised Jiang Bai. It seemed that Ye Qingguo was right. She had no designs on that person and didn't want to harm him. So, if this person was ungrateful and didn't know what was good for him, he could be taught a lesson.

This suggests that his status in Ye Qingguo's heart was not actually that high.

At that time, Ye Qingguo had little contact with the outside world. She felt that the other party had treated her well and felt somewhat guilty, wanting to make amends.

However, he was also annoyed by the other party's harassment, so he did not object to Jiang Bai teaching the other party a lesson.

"Since that's the case, I understand. Where is he?" Jiang Bai chuckled, knowing what to do.

This matter is very simple; it's just a toad. Jiang Bai is very experienced in dealing with these kinds of things.

First, try to reason with him, then use force. Make it clear to him and make him give up. If he doesn't give up, Jiang Bai has plenty of ways to deal with him and make sure he submits completely.

"This is his phone number." Ye Qingguo took out a number and handed it to Jiang Bai. She wondered how that monster had gotten her number; he was quite capable.

He then sent a text message to the other party, inviting them to a secluded mountain villa in the suburbs. Jiang Bai then said to Ye Qingguo, "Just wait for the good news. I need to get my business done as soon as possible, as I'm in a hurry. As for this guy, I'll give you a result today."

After saying that, Jiang Bai turned and left, heading straight for the suburban villa, the place where he had fought the experts from Zhaixinglou last time. Jiang Bai had damaged some parts of the place, but then he thought that he needed a place like that, so he bought it directly.

After all, there are many things that are inconvenient to handle in Tiandu City, where there is a huge flow of people.

Jiang Bai quickly arrived at the villa. As soon as he arrived, he saw a fat boy standing by the lake at the entrance of the villa, staring intently at the picture of Ye Qingcheng on the billboard in front of him.

He was still drooling.

She looked to be around twenty years old, dressed simply, and was slightly overweight, but not shockingly so.

He's a bit short, and his face... well, it's kind of creepy.

Jiang Bai shuddered the moment he saw him. Where did this guy get the courage to pursue Ye Qingguo?

It's important to understand that when demons transform into human form, it's not a random process. Their appearance is predetermined and related to their original features, which is why fox women are particularly alluring and beautiful.

Of course, one can only change their appearance at will once their cultivation reaches a certain level, well, a very, very high level.

Otherwise, once they transform into human form, their appearance will remain unchanged for life. Otherwise, do you really think that the aesthetic sense of the demon race is so bad? Why do they make everyone look so deformed and grotesque?
