Chu Mo stared blankly at the old monk, the corners of his mouth twitching, "You already know what I'm here for?"

"Take out the bead that seals your family members." The old monk said softly, "A group of wronged souls, only here can they be liberated, from suffering to joy."

The corners of Chu Mo's mouth twitched as he looked at the old monk as if he had seen a ghost, "How do you know?"

"Hehe, the aura around you has already told me." The old monk looked at Chu Mo, "Rest assured, young man, the Buddhist gate is not as frightening as you think, nor is it like the legends. If one day you truly can take that step, come back to take your family away. By then, if I had deceived you today, wouldn't it be leaving a great calamity for our Buddhist sect?"

"You know what I'm thinking inside my mind?" Chu Mo looked at the old monk, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The old monk smiled, "The old monk has just lived a bit longer, it's not as magical as you think."

Chu Mo looked at the old monk, then at Xu Du, the little monk, who had been silent since coming in, feeling quite unsure. If this place were not indeed the location marked on the map as the site of the Buddhist gate, Chu Mo would have found it hard to believe this dilapidated, desolate place could be it.

Such a broken place, could it really be the place even the supreme beings of the Heavenly Realm fear?

Although the word of mouth mostly has a significant difference from the facts, there is no smoke without fire. Rumors that are completely unreliable do not last long.

The old monk said, "It's just appearances."

Chu Mo was completely stunned!

He raised his head, looking at the old monk, "You must know how to read minds, right?"

"Hahaha." The old monk laughed heartily, "Young man, have you been reading too many legends? If the old monk were supreme, perhaps I might indeed have the divine abilities you speak of. But the old monk is just an ascension-phase monk, how could I have such divine abilities?"

"Ascension-phase..." Chu Mo pondered in his heart, thinking, An ascension-phase cultivator couldn't be this terrifying, could he? I didn't say a word, and you guessed my intention; I didn't show any emotion, just thought in my mind, and you came with 'It's just appearances'!

Could you not be so monstrous?

Or is it that the Buddhist sect possesses unique supreme divine abilities?

Compared to that, Chu Mo leaned more towards the latter. Because he possessed a similar divine power—Fengshui Divine Art!

Thinking this, Chu Mo suddenly moved, displayed the Fengshui Divine Art, and took a look at the dilapidated desolate land of the Buddhist gate before him.

Swipe!

A flash of golden light nearly blinded Chu Mo's eyes!

Hiss!

Chu Mo couldn't help but gasp, stepping back several paces.

The old monk squinted his eyes, glancing at Chu Mo, a flicker of light in his eyes, pondering something.

Little monk Xu Du showed a shocked expression, looking at Chu Mo with disbelief, his expression akin to seeing a ghost.

Chu Mo couldn't help but close his eyes, simply stunned and frightened by what he had just seen...

In that instant, what he saw... Where was that broken desolate sight? It was clearly a vast, boundless, huge palace!

This palace blotted out the sky and covered a million miles!

Soaring directly into the sky!

One Buddha after another sat in each palace, the golden light that almost blinded Chu Mo emanating from them!

Each Buddha was dignified in appearance, emitting an aura of fairness and might, as if each presided over a part of Heaven and Earth.

"This... What is this?" Chu Mo stared in astonishment, having used just a bit of the Technique of Energy Observation from the Fengshui Divine Art, and as a result, directly perceiving this.

The old monk glanced at Chu Mo and said indifferently, "It's just appearances."

"..." Chu Mo was full of frustration, thinking, does he have to be so insincere? He looked at the old monk, "Can we talk about something more substantial?"

The old monk sighed, "They were all glories of the past. What is there to say?"

"And the huge palaces that span a million miles, and the golden Buddhas in each palace?" Chu Mo stared at the old monk, his eyes not blinking.

Suddenly, the young monk Xu Du knelt down with a thud, clasped his hands together in prayer, tears streaming down his face, and muttered, "He truly is a young sage, truly a young sage. Only he could see it... It really exists... So it all wasn't fake!"

"Ah..." the old monk sighed again, looking at Xu Du and said, "All conditioned phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew or a flash of lightning, and should be viewed as such. Whether it exists or not, how does it matter? You should awaken!"

"But master, this represents the glorious past we once had!" Xu Du said, tears still streaming down his face.

"You are too attached to forms," the old monk sighed lightly for the third time, then waved his hand, "You are no longer suited to stay here. Go, undergo the Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Perhaps there, you will find what you have been seeking."

Xu Du was dumbfounded, looked at the old monk, and suddenly kowtowed vigorously, "Please master, I realize my mistake, please don't send your disciple away..."

Chu Mo watched the scene dumbfounded, unable to interject or understand what the old monk was really planning.

The old monk waved his hand, "Arising and ceasing of conditions are like the blooming and withering of flowers; why behave like a foolish child? You also understand very well that your future isn't here. Now that the sage has come to the world and had his experience, you naturally should leave as well, to pursue the law in your heart."

At that time, Xu Du was still in tears, but his expression was no longer that of fear. He suddenly turned to Chu Mo, his expression very sincere, "Could you tell me again, what exactly did you see in that instant?"

Chu Mo said, "A vast palace covering a million miles, towering into the sky. Inside each palace, there was a golden Buddha, each seemingly suppressing a different world."

"I understand," Xu Du clasped his hands together at Chu Mo, bowing deeply, "Thank you for enlightening me. I owe you a big cause and effect, and I will surely repay it one day."

As he spoke, Xu Du kowtowed a few more times to the old monk, then stood up, turned, and walked away without looking back.

A moment later, a tremendously powerful aura suddenly erupted outside, continuously climbing higher and higher!

"What is this?" Chu Mo, shocked, rushed outside and saw a frail figure a thousand miles away in the void, under the sky, triggering the Heavenly Tribulation.

That figure was none other than the young monk Xu Du who had just left!

But wasn't he a Mahayana monk? How could he possibly trigger the Heavenly Tribulation directly? No, no, no... he was no longer a Mahayana monk! Chu Mo stared dumbfounded as the aura emanating from that figure grew stronger.

In a short time, it forcefully climbed to the aura of ascension!

The advancement in cultivation... could it be done like this?

Boom, boom, boom!

A bolt of heavenly lightning, struck directly at the young monk Xu Du.

But the young monk reached out and actually grabbed the heavenly lightning.

This was the first time Chu Mo had seen someone besides himself face the Heavenly Tribulation in such a manner.

Crack!

The bolt of heavenly lightning was directly caught in the monk's hand, and then... casually tossed away!

With a boom, it dispersed in the sky.

Next, another bolt of heavenly lightning struck down. The young monk repeated the action, casually grabbing and tossing... and it was done!

"Is this undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation?" Chu Mo was dumbfounded.
