As he continued to walk forward with the old man, he recounted in detail the past events that happened in Shuipang County.

Collecting his thoughts, he realized that whether or not he had subconscious intent, speaking directly about Demon Night True Monarch seemed almost impossible. It wasn't exactly mental control but rather instinctual, as if both parties were naturally one, so describing it as shielding is not an exaggeration.

Apart from the matters of Demon Night True Monarch which were not mentioned at all, there wasn't much else he could hide, so he provided as much detail as possible.

The Divine Soul residing within the Dantian remained calm, indicating that the senior sister placed a considerable amount of trust in the old man.

"So that's how it is."

The old man's expression was somewhat sentimental.

He glanced back at Jiang Feng, with a hint of peculiarity in his gaze. With ordinary disciples, he could see through their Divine Soul and innermost thoughts at a glance, but with Jiang Feng...

He couldn't see through him.

Strictly speaking, it was from the moment the topic of the demon monk Jin Shan was brought up that he couldn't discern Jiang Feng's true thoughts, in other words,

Either Jiang Feng had cultivated some unknown Secret Technique, or,

There was something more terrifying guarding his mind.

To this very day, many people remain curious about how Jiang Feng managed to break Gu Miyun's Concealed Sound Pure World Formula, as the suppression from the Vajra Warrior was utterly ineffective on him. Ultimately, they could not find an answer, attributing it to Gu Miyun's lacking skill.

Having experienced much, he could naturally detect something amiss, but this was Xiao Liuer's treasured disciple, the sole inheritor of Swordmaster Peak. Even though Swordmaster Peak now seemed to flourish with disciples, the true successor was still Jiang Feng.

No one could shake this youngster's position in Liu Tangxi's heart.

Even if he harbored some curiosity, he refrained from asking more or probing unnecessarily.

"Your experiences are indeed bizarre and intriguing, the old man doesn't know whether to call you lucky or unfortunate."

"This Fangcun Mountain is a rare secret transmission of the Vajra Temple, used by the high monk Guang Xian for converting evil spirits. Whenever evil spirits needed conversion, he would contain them within."

"Even we at Purple Cloud Palace covet this Magic Treasure, and there's no need to mention his character. Although he isn't a person of this era, many temples still enshrine this high monk, addressing him as a living Buddha when he was still at the Vajra Temple is not an exaggeration."

"The people at Swordmaster Peak should be very familiar with him, as he had quite a connection with your Swordmaster Peak back then. Later, he underwent a transformation and entered the Demonic Path, prompting Xiao Liuer to personally track him down. During that time..."

"I was also there."

He paused momentarily.

The young man nodded slightly.

He knew that after that high monk fell into demonic ways, it caused the Buddha statues to weep and Bodhisattvas to reverse their postures. His senior sister even mentioned that after Guang Xian host became demonic, various sects dispatched experts to capture him. To think that even this ancestor figure personally went.

His expression revealed that there were likely significant connections between the two.

"Master praises him highly, acknowledging his virtues, conduct, intelligence, and wisdom as top-tier, no, excellent. Over countless years, Vajra Temple produced many renowned figures, but none could compare to his selfless sacrifice."

"His strength could reach the heavens, being the best among Buddhism's ninth grade, truly a physical Buddha. Back when he went to the border to resist the external Heavenly Demons, no one could approach him, calling him the first beneath the Immortal Monarchs would not be an overstatement."

"But now, his nature is destroyed and having succumbed to evil, that millennium of arduous cultivation is but an illusionary bubble. If not for such a turn, we wouldn't dare even with immense courage to trouble him."

"The Fangcun Mountain, Buddhist Bell, and those Vajra Arhat Statues you mentioned, all belonged to him, but after he personally shattered his Buddha form and lost his mental stability, he was no longer able to wield them. It's unclear how the Golden-haired Lion managed to utilize them either."

"Presumably, there's Buddhist involvement behind the scenes orchestrating this, as since Guang Xian demon monk entered the demonic path, Vajra Temple hasn't produced a truly authoritative figure."

"Among his many disciples, it's not surprising that someone has harbored evil intentions."

Continuing the slow walk within the Essence Gathering Tower.

The surrounding scenery finally changed; compared to the filthy and dilapidated exterior, upon truly entering this Grotto Heaven, Jiang Feng realized the scale of the Essence Gathering Tower was immense, beyond sight, at least several hundred meters.

Every so often, one could see a Magic Treasure or weapon, plainly placed in a corner or on a table.

The treasures included were various and colorful, with divine weapons like swords and spears, Secret Manuals in Jade Scrolls, multi-colored glimmering Magic Treasures, and many fifth-grade and above Elixirs, mineral materials for refining weapons, Immortal Herbs for alchemy, and natural treasures that directly enhance strength and physique.

Taking a casual glance.

"Jade Treasure Pill, sixth grade, possessing five clouds, crafted by Qi Tianhao, the 21st Peak Master of Divine Wood Peak."

"This Elixir has effects of calming the mind and gathering energy, enhancing one's Taoist cultivation, prohibiting usage by cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage. A single pill boosts half a grade of cultivation realm when taken by one at the Nascent Soul stage, up to the peak of Nascent Soul."

"If the consumer is at the peak of Nascent Soul, it can be used to protect one's origin during a breakthrough, increasing the success rate by about twenty percent during a secluded cultivation breakthrough."
