"Grandmaster Ha Ha definitely hasn't gone to another world!" Shi Feiyang spoke with conviction.

Deng Yin nodded slightly but did not speak.

The Dao Level of Red Corpse God Monarch and Jiulei God was somewhat inferior, and the results of their divination were a tangled mess, unable to make an accurate judgment.

Shi Feiyang continued, "He must have hidden inside a man-made Grotto Heaven. Then he disturbed the Heavenly Number, making it seem as if he had fled to another world."

Red Corpse God Monarch and Jiulei God looked towards Deng Yin, who pondered for a moment before saying, "However, my Gua Xiang indicates that his presence is in at least six worlds within the Heavens."

"That's a deception he's created," said Shi Feiyang. "His true body must still be in this world."

"In this world, there are very few with the ability to create a Grotto Heaven, a separate world. Could it be that he has sought refuge with someone? Iron City Mountain?" Red Corpse God Monarch turned to Deng Yin.

"Impossible!" Deng Yin exclaimed, "The Old Master of Iron City Mountain emerges from seclusion only once every 720 years. Other than that, no one can find Iron City Mountain, no one at all..."

He repeated himself, his voice fading.

In the past when he was being pursued by Master Changmei, he had also sought refuge with Iron City Mountain, but he could not find the way there. Even after praying on his knees numerous times in vain, or when Red Flower Princess died under the Purple Ying Sword, that "Father-in-law" also remained unresponsive.

Neither as his son-in-law nor Red Flower Princess as his daughter could they contact that old demon, nor find the path to Iron City Mountain.

The four once again attempted to divine the answer, and Red Corpse God Monarch was the first to come up with a result, "He's in his old lair, the Wildman Mountain Longdi Cave?"

"How is that possible..." Everyone shook their heads. They too had come up with this Gua Xiang, but it was clearly fake.

"Although he's not at his old lair in Wildman Mountain, we still need to go there!" Shi Feiyang declared.

He immediately set off with Deng Yin, leaving Red Corpse God Monarch and Jiulei God behind. He needed Deng Yin's help to kill Grandmaster Ha Ha or else he would give him the Blood God Scripture. He did not want to involve others.

Shi Feiyang and Deng Yin left West Kunlun and hurried to the Wildman Mountain Longdi Cave.

As expected, the place had been deserted for a long time. Both searched inside the cave, and not only was there not a single person, but even the seals and spells had vanished. Many snakes, insects, rodents, wolves, foxes, rabbits, and pheasants had invaded the cave and claimed it as their own.

Some of the animals had become sentient and stared in shock at the sudden appearance of the two men, their eyes frozen with fear.

Shi Feiyang and Deng Yin cast spells again to search, confirming that within thousands of miles there was no one, and no hidden holes or spaces.

The two returned to the front of Wildman Mountain, and Deng Yin looked towards Shi Feiyang as if to ask what they should do next.

Shi Feiyang gazed towards the Wildman Mountain, "Let's blow this place up."

"Blow it up? Grandmaster Ha Ha is already not here, blowing it up... What's the point?" Deng Yin asked.

"To let the world know that I have been here." Shi Feiyang first cast a spell to drive away the wildlife from the mountain and then made a series of hand gestures in front of his chest.

Between Heaven and Earth, colorful Thunder Pearls began to appear out of thin air.

Eastern Green Wood Thunder, Southern Red Fire Thunder, Western White Gold Thunder, Northern Black Water Bomb, plus Central Yellow Earth Thunder.

Hundreds of Thunder Pearls formed and converged towards him. Then, following his hand gestures, all the Thunder Pearls simultaneously bombarded Wildman Mountain.

This was his self-created Five Qi Jun Heaven Thunder, blending Heaven and Earth, aligned with Nine Wilds, transforming into a Nine Palaces Formation. The center of Heaven is called Jun Heaven.

With Shi Feiyang at the true center of Heaven, he controlled the Five Qi of the five directions into Thunder Pearls, which were convenient and swift with great power.

Hundreds of Thunder Pearls exploded upon Wildman Mountain, various lightning flashes shining simultaneously. According to the Five Elements Attribute, there were generative and destructive changes, and in an instant, Heaven and Earth shattered, with a loud crackling. The mountain peak where Longdi Cave was situated collapsed, stones rolled chaotically, and the place became ruins.

Shi Feiyang left the underground part undisturbed, only blowing up the mountain peak.

The wild people from various mountain peaks and valleys were terrified. The Longdi Cave was their sacred mountain, inhabited by a great deity, and now it had collapsed!

They all grabbed their long spears and shields, uttered frantic cries while looking this way, and quickly sought their shamans in the villages to inquire about the situation.

In more distant places, those with Divine Skills were also watching, witnessing Shi Feiyang blowing up Grandmaster Ha Ha's lair, and a chill ran through their hearts.

Since Grandmaster Ha Ha became one of the five freaks and three demons a thousand years ago to now, no one had dared to do this to him. Not even when the Emei Sect and Buddhist forces had laid down the Liangyi Dust Formation, defeating Grandmaster Ha Ha, did they blow up Wildman Mountain.

Many were speculating: Master Yuan Yang had taken on Grandmaster Ha Ha, and it seemed, judging by the situation, it was a fight to the death.

Those with lesser Divine Skills sensed only the mountain collapsing and did not know who had acted. They approached cautiously and looked from afar.

Watching the mountain peak collapse, Deng Yin felt the anger of his older brother and came over to ask in a low voice, "Where do we go next to find Grandmaster Ha Ha?"

Shi Feiyang suddenly laughed, "Before I came, I had not considered it, but now that we're here and after blowing up Wildman Mountain, I've had a sudden inspiration. Since Grandmaster Ha Ha isn't in his lair, he must have gone to mine!"

Deng Yin was stunned for a moment, "Your old haunt?"

"Yes," Shi Feiyang nodded, "He's in the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain! Let's go!"

After saying this, he swept his robe's sleeve and flew away with Deng Yin towards the south, leaving the Central Earth Continent, crossing the vast expanse of the South Sea, and at last reached the Little Antarctic.

He took out the Zhou Tianyu Light Disc, broke through the Aurora Fire, and the two arrived above the sea.

Shi Feiyang only knew Grandmaster Ha Ha was here, but exactly where required further calculation. He held the Yu Guang Disc, continuously calculating in search of the location.

Deng Yin followed beside him, patiently waiting for the results to emerge.

The city on the East Coast that never sleeps wasn't the place, then it must be in the Bright Realm on the West Coast.

Shi Feiyang arrived at Qianling Mountain's Heavenly Heart Palace and stood on the white jade platform. In front of him was Tianxin Lake, upon which grew the towering Heavenly Jade Lotus, already more than a dozen zhang high.

Right in front of the railing, a monk clothed in a kasaya, was speaking with a small girl dressed in a white gauze.

The monk was none other than Grandmaster Ha Ha. He looked at Shi Feiyang and raised his palm formally, uttering a Buddha's name solemnly, "Amitabha Buddha! Has Fellow Daoist Shi been well?"

Shi Feiyang said, "You've actually run off to this place, and even fabricated the illusion that you've escaped to other worlds."

Grandmaster Ha Ha exclaimed in admiration, "This place is originally a part of the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm. Although it has fallen to the Human World, it is still separated by Magnetic True Qi and the Aurora Fire, almost akin to being another world altogether. I merely took advantage of this, altered the Heavenly Number, thinking it was flawless, yet I couldn't deceive Fellow Daoist Shi's Zhou Tian divination."

Shi Feiyang said, "What have you done to my child when you came to my place?"

Grandmaster Ha Ha let out a hearty laugh and with a casual wave of his hand, the white-clad little girl beside him dissipated into glimmers of light and vanished into thin air.

"I knew Fellow Daoist harbored the intent to kill me, so I had to use some self-preservation measures. This Heavenly Jade Lotus originally comes from the pool in Taixu Immortal Mansion, truly a marvelous thing. It can neutralize all poisons under heaven. I merely passed on some Techniques of cultivation to this young lady, teaching her how to create External Bodies. She has done quite well..."

Then he waved his hand again, and the girl in white who had disappeared reappeared, standing between him and Shi Feiyang, saying to Shi Feiyang, "Brother, this Big Monk is very kind. Now, I have obtained unparalleled mana and Divine Skills.

I don't have to stay here anymore. The world is vast, and I shall go wherever I wish. I have also seen the worlds beyond this one in the heavens, and I plan to explore them all. Brother, don't harbor resentment against the Big Monk; it was all my own choice."

Shi Feiyang looked at this scene, his eyes instantly reddened and shot out two beams of Demon Light!

It turned out Grandmaster Ha Ha had actually fed his own Second Primordial Spirit to Miaomiao!

To say fed, because his mana was so immense, his Second Primordial Spirit actually merged with Miaomiao. He possessed Miaomiao's memories and Divine Skills, and Miaomiao equally retained his memories and mana. Miaomiao was almost equal to his second embodiment - Miaomiao hadn't vanished, her main consciousness was still present, and she acquired great mana, but she couldn't defy his will, becoming a part of his Primordial Spirit!

"Do you think this way I won't be able to destroy both your body and soul?"

Grandmaster Ha Ha laughed again, "You can destroy my body and soul, but I still have my second Primordial Spirit and can be revived at any time. You can also destroy my Second Primordial Spirit, but if you do, your sister will also be completely obliterated alongside it, as long as you have the heart to..."

"Brother, please don't kill the Big Monk. There is no deep hatred between you two, why must you fight to the death?"

Shi Feiyang looked at her, "There wasn't before, but there is now."

Miaomiao shook her head, "But I am fine now. The Big Monk hasn't threatened me or coerced me. This was my choice. I want to merge with him. I like this feeling now."

Shi Feiyang nodded, "Fine, I won't harm you. But I'm going to annihilate this monk first, then see to your matter!"

He suddenly made his move, his ten fingers shooting out Pre-Postnatal Five Elements Sword Qi. This was another level on top of the Five Elements Essence Qi from the He Sha Book, imbued with even more power and intricacies.

From his ten fingers jetted out sword Qi of ten colors, rapidly elongating with a sharp whistling of wind, striking directly at Grandmaster Ha Ha.

Grandmaster Ha Ha, seeing the formidable sword Qi, hastily took off a string of Buddha Beads from his wrist. The eighteen beads formed a circle floating in front of him, turning slowly, radiating brightness, protecting him.

The Sword Qi struck the golden Buddha Light, ringing out with a clang of metal, jangling harshly, sparks flying. As the Sword Qi moved, it emitted a screeching sound that set teeth on edge.

Shi Feiyang continued to press the Sword Qi, the array of colors becoming ever more dazzling to the eye.

After all, Grandmaster Ha Ha wasn't a true Buddhist monk, and what emanated from him wasn't Buddha Light, unable to withstand Shi Feiyang's Sword Qi onslaught, cracking profusely.

He hadn't expected Shi Feiyang to be so formidable with just his mana, without deploying any Magical Treasures, even making his own Magical Treasure seem inadequate in defense.

Previously, though he had been wary of Shi Feiyang, he was just that—wary. He didn't believe that Shi Feiyang could kill him. Moreover, if he couldn't win, he could certainly flee. What concerned him was the possibility of Shi Feiyang seeking assistance to gang up on him.

That old monster went to West Kunlun to stir discord among Deng Yin's trio, although sowing seeds of suspicion, he was unable to change Deng Yin's mind instantly to assist him against Shi Feiyang. On the contrary, he realized Deng Yin would probably side with Shi Feiyang.

Everyone's strength was actually at the same level; if it's one against many, certain defeat was inevitable. Hence, he fled to Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, thinking of this scheme.

Only now, upon clashing, he realized Shi Feiyang was even more formidable than during their encounter at Wildman Mountain, taking the upper hand without needing the Heavenly Mirror or Nine Suspicions Tripod.

"Amitabha Buddha!" Grandmaster Ha Ha exclaimed again, as his eighteen Buddha Beads rapidly expanded and enlarged, each growing to the size of about a zhang in diameter, within the golden sheen spewing out streams of black flames, which was the Heavenly Evil Fire.

Within the black flames emerged rohan figures, some with a raised hand holding an alms bowl, some reversing the Golden Wheel, some surrounded by blistering flames, some spewing out yellow sand, totaling eighteen arhats. At first, they were just black silhouettes emerging through the flames, later gradually taking form – they were his eighteen disciples!
