Zhu Youmu sat cross-legged there in meditation, in a meditative state, communicating divinely with the witch. His body frame swiftly grew larger, his torso extended, and his limbs became robust...

In just a few hours, his body transformed from a young boy into a young man!

The original goose-yellow small jacket was directly stretched open by his body, tearing and hanging on him.

He remained unaware, still trapped in the demon realm, unable to extricate himself.

After three days and nights, on the black reef thousands of miles away, the Princess of Stone God slowly opened her eyes, a look of satisfaction on her face.

Such an Arhat monk with millennia of cultivation is a great nourishment for those on the Demon Path. If she could absorb all his essence energy, spirit, and divine blood, it would not only add many cycles of Dao Level to her cultivation but also temporarily free her from the restraints of the Blood God Scripture.

While she lured Zhu Youmu into the demon realm, she also cast spells on Jiang Xuejun.

The Princess of Stone God sensed that there was something terrifying residing inside Jiang Xuejun, temporarily suppressed and sealed, though very evil. Despite being suppressed, it could silently influence Jiang Xuejun's emotions. The Princess of Stone God perceived it as the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, which made her hesitate.

She merely intended to challenge Shi Feiyang a bit, not to completely infuriate him, nor did she want to destroy the world. She simply wished to bring Deng Yin out to eternally be with her.

Initially, she worked on Han'er, planning that if Shi Feiyang accepted Han'er, she could remotely control Shi Feiyang's Primordial Spirit through Han'er, making him obey her every command and act entirely according to her will.

Unfortunately, Shi Feiyang did not fall for it, so she had to turn to Chi You.

However, her deal with Chi You was not directly completed; currently, it merely involved her helping Chi You deal with Zhu Youmu and Jiang Xuejun, while Chi You assisted her in bringing Deng Yin out of the Immortal Mansion at the spiritual bridge.

It was merely a transaction, far from an alliance. If she released the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader from Jiang Xuejun, it would become a big issue. She had a premonition that if she did so, Shi Feiyang would personally come to put her back into the Blood God Scripture and destroy her along with the scriptures.

While she hesitated, Jiang Xuejun instead went to meet the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader by herself.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader truly lived up to being the top expert of the Demon Cult. Even with less than a quarter of an avatar and forcibly sealed and suppressed by Jiang Xuejun with the Mysterious Sect's power, he could still release his will.

Jiang Xuejun, unable to compete with Zhu Youmu, was extremely furious. She felt Zhu Youmu had changed—how could he become like this!

So many people from the tribes were slaughtered, sparing not even the children. How could Zhu Youmu so casually forgive the culprit in just a few words!

Is this still the Great Compassion of the Buddhist sect?

As she fumed, the consciousness of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader echoed in her mind: "The Great Compassion of Buddhism is only used to forgive murderers! They are hypocritical, with double standards, most detestable! They forgive the killers on behalf of the murdered, allowing those with blood-stained hands to become Buddha on the spot if they lay down their weapons. They use phrases like 'better to untie than to tie', 'revenge breeds endless cycles' to excuse the murderers…"

If these words were spoken at any other time in the past, Jiang Xuejun would never have listened, even if she didn't immediately act to silence him; she would certainly have retorted. But now, she increasingly felt there was truth in them. She not only resented Zhu Youmu but also hated the entire Buddhist sect!

She felt that these words made sense, naturally developing a flaw in her guard against the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader. He could increasingly affect her emotions and spirit, expressing her thoughts and discomfort through words she favored the most.

Jiang Xuejun felt such pleasure hearing those words! Though a Great Demon, the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader sometimes spoke with reason.

The resentment accumulated with Zhu Youmu, and the blocked energy was smoothly vented by a few words from the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader!

Thus, before the Princess of Stone God could decide whether to take action, Jiang Xuejun had already merged with the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader!

According to Jiang Xuejun's thinking: her Primordial Spirit cultivation was just a step away from the Heavenly Immortal position. In terms of Mana and Divine Skills, she had already far surpassed ordinary Heavenly Immortals. Even if the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader was formidable, he was merely a wisp of remnant soul.

Jiang Xuejun knew that merging with the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader would further distance her from becoming a Pure Yang Heavenly Immortal, as her Primordial Spirit would become less pure. However, since she couldn't achieve Pure Yang now anyway, it was crucial to increase her power first…

She was similar to Shi Feiyang, temporarily giving up Pure Yang Heavenly Immortal, enlarging the "Moon"; though the purity decreased, her Mana doubled!

As for potential consequences, such as being influenced by the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, she felt it was insignificant. She believed she could maintain control. The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader had been with her for quite some time, and aside from the initial fierce struggle to seize her body, he had behaved well afterward.

Jiang Xuejun felt that she could completely suppress the remaining soul of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader!

In fact, she was extremely infuriated by Zhu Youmu. For thousands of years, they had always been good partners and friends, working together to slay demons.

In the end, Zhu Youmu not only couldn't distinguish right from wrong, but even attacked her like this, hitting her with the Vajra Giant Spirit God Palm until she vomited blood!

This enmity was something she definitely had to repay!

Jiang Xuejun integrated the avatar of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader into her own Primordial Spirit, gaining immense mana and the thousand-year wisdom of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader.

Her whole being had transformed from the original, not only was her temperament different, even her eyes, expressions, etc., seemed like she was a different person.

"Above the heavens and under the earth, only I am supreme! Back then when Shakyamuni was born, he walked seven steps towards the four directions like a calf and said this sentence. Hmph, it was just the monks trying to glorify their master! What ability does he have to claim such supremacy? I can truly claim to be supreme!"

After speaking, she flew straight out of the icy training cave, instantly reaching the skies above the Great Buddha Temple.

Zhu Youmu was sitting on the Dharma Platform lecturing. These days, he always felt uneasy, with images of the Scattering Flower Witch constantly appearing in his mind.

He knew that his condition was abnormal. Several times, he sat in meditation, trying to go deep into a meditative state to reflect and see the true nature of all phenomena.

But every time he entered the meditative state, the Witch would come out and practice the skills from the "Blood God Scripture" with him from start to finish.

Each time Zhu Youmu practiced with the Witch, his body aged significantly, from a teenager to a young man, and from a young man to middle-aged.

Now Zhu Youmu was an old monk with age spots and graying hair and beard.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Xuejun was also shocked: "We haven't seen each other for several days, how did you become like this?!"

Zhu Youmu, with a face full of age and wisdom, said: "It's just a stinky shell, neither pure nor impure. I see the true nature of all phenomena and do not judge the Tathagata by the appearance of the past, present, or future..."

He looked up at Jiang Xuejun with a face full of black evil, his pupils revealing dark red blood qi, knowing she had merged with the evil demon, "Your appearance is no better than mine. In the end, you couldn't suppress the evil demon within you and merged with him?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Xuejun cursed angrily, "I was trying to retrieve the Bowl for you back then that the evil demon took advantage of me, and now you're mocking me for it? This evil demon was devoured by me, but not merged! I've gained his power! Zhu Youmu, Zhu Youmu, back then you disregarded our past friendship, using the Vajra Giant Spirit God Palm to critically injure me, and today your retribution has come!"

As she finished, she raised her hands, fingers like eagle claws, immediately invoking the Heavenly Gang to descend, Earth Evil to rise, heavens and earth reversed, a massive amount of black evil qi filled the human world, covering more than ten thousand miles of frozen earth.

Zhu Youmu released the Great Sandalwood Buddha Light to protect the Great Buddha Temple, chanting continuously, raising his hand to directly unleash the Vajra Giant Spirit God Palm.

He could see Jiang Xuejun had changed, at this moment, Jiang Xuejun was no longer the dear friend he knew, but the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader!

Contrary to Jiang Xuejun's claim that she devoured the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, it was the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader who devoured her.

In recent days, Zhu Youmu felt his growth, previously having doubts, but the Princess of Stone God, using remote casting, enlightened him himself: Daoism emphasizes the pure heart of a child, while our Buddhist sect emphasizes self-nature, children also have greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, and suspicion, the outer shell is not important. He felt his power increasing daily, becoming more vigorous and thinking he was nearing enlightenment.

But now engaged in a real fight, Zhu Youmu realized he couldn't defeat Jiang Xuejun!

In fact, his spirit and blood were drained by the Princess of Stone God through remote casting, significantly weakening his strength, while Jiang Xuejun, having merged with the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, experienced a tremendous power increase.

He thought his power had also increased, practicing the orthodox Buddhist Demon-suppressing Great Technique, while Jiang Xuejun abandoned the powerful Mysterious Sect's orthodox skill to merge with an evil demon, using the Demon Path Great Technique. Even though her power had multiplied, it should have been deeply suppressed by his Buddhist Righteous Skill, finding it inferior to using the original "Tai Xuan Golden Chapter" skills.

However, as soon as they engaged, Zhu Youmu quickly fell into defeat. His Vajra Giant Spirit God Palm couldn't shatter the pervasive black evil, while Jiang Xuejun sent out numerous strands of Black Evil Silk, denser than a spider web, covering the skies above the Great Buddha Temple. Each Black Evil Silk seemed to have a soul wriggling within, opening their mouths wide to suck away the souls of those below through the Buddha Light.

Jiang Xuejun used the Mystic Yin Ghost Hand against Zhu Youmu's palm. Ordinarily, the Buddhist skill should suppress the Evil Path. At the same power level, the Vajra Giant Spirit God Palm would steadily win over the Mystic Yin Ghost Hand. Yet, now Zhu Youmu found himself outmatched as the Buddha Light Hand crashed repeatedly, shattering continuously.

Jiang Xuejun used the Cold Flame Soul Searching Great Technique, filling the air and earth with Cold Flame Mysterious Light, also unleashing Mystic Yin Cold Light Arrows, and Mystic Yin Seven Evil Demon Light...

The two fought for the time it takes to sip a cup of tea. All of Zhu Youmu's Buddhist Demon-suppressing Great Techniques were broken one by one, the Great Sandalwood Buddha Light was torn apart by the Mystic Yin Ghost Hand. The firmness of the Buddha Light, like a copper wall, was pierced by five giant black fingers, the middle finger aimed at Zhu Youmu. Zhu Youmu quickly escaped using a flash of golden light, while the middle finger ghost claw struck his Dharma Platform, resulting in an explosion, sending flames flying!
