"Hmm?!"

Hearing this weak voice, Mu Jinyu was suddenly startled.

He didn't expect that in the folding space ahead, there would still be a living person!

However, this voice sounded familiar, and it even called him Master Mu?

Mu Jinyu focused his gaze forward and saw a tattered-clothed man with long black hair sitting cross-legged on the fog-covered mountain rock ahead.

After taking a closer look, Mu Jinyu's eyes showed a look of realization, and he said, "Sheng Rulai?!"

"Master Mu..."

At this moment, the man with long black hair struggled to lift his head, his dense black hair revealing a long-missed handsome face.

It was Sheng Rulai, the Buddha Head whose Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere!

He was one of the few God Realm powerhouses who survived the dark turmoil a year ago.

Mu Jinyu hadn't expected they would meet here a year later.

When Mu Jinyu returned from the Kunlun Ruins, Mu Hongchen and the others had told him about the changes and situations of various major organizations.

At that time, she had mentioned that Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere had moved to Mount Song.

And Buddha Head Sheng Rulai had gone missing after a trip, presumed dead. The Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere was now led by a new Buddha Head, and Mu Jinyu had once lamented over it.

Unexpectedly, he met Sheng Rulai here today.

"Master Mu, it's been a while..."

Sheng Rulai's appearance was still as handsome as before, but he seemed much more haggard, and there was a faint swirl of black qi between his brows, appearing somewhat sinister.

"Buddha Head, how did you end up here?"

Mu Jinyu asked curiously.

It seemed Sheng Rulai hadn't spoken for a long time, so his speech was quite raw, but after saying a few sentences, the flow improved much: "It's a long story, but it goes like this..."

Sheng Rulai briefly recounted his experiences over the past year to Mu Jinyu.

During the Spiritual Energy Revival and the evolution of all creatures, he led the severely injured Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere to vigorously resist the ferocious beast massacre.

Of course, they didn't go on a killing spree but instead transformed those ferocious beasts into guardian spirit beasts of Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere.

However, not long after, as Sheng Rulai's cultivation continued to grow, he also noticed something was amiss.

He seemed to be falling into demonhood.

It was eventually discovered that the Shariputra used to resist demons contained a trace of demonic qi, and when he absorbed the Buddha power from the broken Shariputra, he inadvertently absorbed that trace of demonic qi into his body.

This was the reason he fell into demonhood.

Forced into a corner, Sheng Rulai needed some spiritual medicine to suppress the demonic qi within him, but unfortunately, among the four famous mountains of the Buddhist Sect, there was none of the spiritual medicine he most needed.

Later, he heard that there were traces of such spiritual medicine discovered near Mount Tai.

So, he came to Mount Tai, and after braving countless deadly dangers, he managed to reach this folded space midway up the mountain.

But he didn't expect that soon after entering this folded space, the coordinates to return disappeared.

In other words, this folded space was completely sealed.

He couldn't leave here!

Fortunately, within this folded space, there was indeed the kind of spiritual medicine he needed to suppress his demonic nature.

In the face of having no retreat, Sheng Rulai had to find a way to completely resolve his fall into demonhood using these spiritual medicines.

But unfortunately, after more than half a year, the spiritual medicine was exhausted, and the situation that had somewhat improved completely relapsed, falling into demonhood again, and becoming even more severe.

The Buddha's Light behind his head vanished, and a head of black hair grew.

Falling into demonhood made Sheng Rulai extremely tormented and painful, fortunately, there were many restrictions here, and after several attempts, he actively entered one of the restrictions, allowing it to confine him.

Unable to move, unable to cultivate.

It was because of this that Sheng Rulai had not completely become a demon.

Otherwise, even Sheng Rulai didn't know how he would ultimately end up.

"I see..."

After listening to Sheng Rulai's ordeal, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but feel quite rueful.

Because Sheng Rulai's current cultivation was only at the Fifth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

He remembered that when he left Huaxia, Sheng Rulai's cultivation didn't seem to be only at the Fifth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm? After all, he was the Head of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Yet now, a year later, countless juniors had reached the Fanxu Realm, but Sheng Rulai's cultivation had regressed.

It's quite tragic indeed!

But compared to Ren Xiaoyao of the Way of Nature, Reinhardt of the Brilliant Divine Authority, Cain of the Fallen Splendor, he was still alive, which was actually quite fortunate.

"Buddha Head, let me help you out."

Mu Jinyu gazed at the black qi on Sheng Rulai's brow and thought, could his Life Source Energy dissolve this demonic qi?

Even if not, it's worth a try.

After all, Sheng Rulai had been trapped here for more than half a year, the situation was already dire, if he continued to be trapped by the restrictions, within a few months, he would undoubtedly die.

"No need..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Sheng Rulai shook his head and said, "I know my condition, here, I can still barely suppress my demonic nature. If I'm let out, I fear the first thing I would do is attack you."

"I would rather attain nirvana here than transform into a demon!"

Sheng Rulai's voice was weak, yet very firm.

Mu Jinyu stared deeply at him for a few moments, then shifted his gaze to the rock he was sitting on, his eyes flickered, and he spoke, "Buddha Head, don't be so resolute. I have a way to replicate the restrictions here, even directly on you to allow you to move freely."

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Rulai quickly raised his head to look at Mu Jinyu, his eyes sparkled, "Is this true?"

If there's a way, Sheng Rulai naturally hoped to move freely, rather than being trapped here, suffering tremendously.

"Yes."

Mu Jinyu finished speaking, pinched his fingers, and immediately several runes formed by True Yuan appeared in front of him, then intertwined into a restriction.

Sheng Rulai glanced at it, and his eyes immediately showed excitement.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't recognize what restrictions Mu Jinyu had set, but Sheng Rulai had actively entered this restriction and had been trapped for several months, he researched this restriction every day, so he was very familiar with it.

Naturally, he recognized at a glance that the restriction Mu Jinyu set was the very one that currently trapped him.

He didn't expect Mu Jinyu could set such an ancient restriction, but at this moment he was too excited to think much about it and said, "Dragon Master, since that's the case, then I'll trouble you."

"Yes."

Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, then stepped forward and waved his hand to dissolve Sheng Rulai's predicament.

He had traversed countless folded spaces on the way, conquering many runes and restrictions, and the restriction that trapped Sheng Rulai happened to be one he learned in previous folded spaces.

After Sheng Rulai was freed, before he could speak, his eyes flashed red, and a tremendous demonic qi surged out from him.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu forcefully suppressed him with Abundant True Essence so he couldn't move, then used Life Source Energy to see if he could dissolve the demonic qi within him.

Unfortunately, it failed.

Sheng Rulai's situation wasn't poisoning, wasn't injury; he had fallen into demonhood. How could Life Source Energy make his demonic qi dissipate?

Instead, as Life Source Energy restored Sheng Rulai's weak body and deteriorating qi-blood to normal, it was absorbed along with the demonic qi, making the demonic qi even more vigorous.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu had to quickly stop sending Life Source Energy.

After that, he used a spell, forming several runes in the air with True Yuan, which finally converged into a restriction, then intertwined into a "卍" character, firmly imprinting it on Sheng Rulai's brow.

As this "卍" character was imprinted, the rampant demonic qi on Sheng Rulai's body receded like a tide, returning to his body.

At the same time, his eyes, which gleamed with red light, returned to normal.
