Daily Intelligence, Starting Out I Obtain the Heaven-devouring Demonic Art

72: Cover up the secrets of heaven and avoid cause and effect!Subsequently, Li Feiyu and others joined forces, giving their all, and finally stepped into the Third Layer of the Pan Yun Secret Realm.

Upon first entering the Third Layer of the Pan Yun Secret Realm, their faces were overjoyed, thinking they could finally search for treasures and improve their strength in the Third Layer.

But the result was that they witnessed a scene of rampant thunder, destroying heaven and earth.

Two unlucky Cultivators among them were even directly vaporized by the falling thunder.

”Holy crap... What happened to the Third Layer of this Secret Realm?”

”Quick... run... or we’ll die!”

”...!”

The Cultivators who had struggled with all their might to rush into the Third Layer of the Secret Realm now had drastically changed expressions, their eyes filled with fear and a desire for life.

Especially Li Feiyu, his current expression was as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

He had fantasized about obtaining some treasure in the Third Layer of the Secret Realm, thereby making a leap in strength and greatly improving.

But he never expected that the Third Layer of the Pan Yun Secret Realm would be such a scene of destruction.

If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn’t have entered the Third Layer of the Secret Realm even if it killed him.

No wonder that guy escaped so quickly; in this situation, who wouldn’t flee?

...Meanwhile, Wang Teng had already left the Pan Yun Secret Realm, but he was still fully operating the Formless Marvelous Art.

This was because a sense of crisis still surrounded him.

Kong Chen’s Master had no intention of letting him go, still using deduction and Karma attack techniques, wanting to pinpoint Wang Teng and utterly eliminate him.

However, he had been unable to succeed.

At this moment, inside a magnificent temple, a middle-aged monk suddenly opened his eyes, his expression furious, like an enraged Vajra, emitting an extremely violent Qi all around him.

He was Kong Chen’s Master, Jueyuan.

”Unable to pinpoint... actually unable to pinpoint... It seems the other party must possess a Cultivation Technique or treasure that conceals heavenly secrets and avoids Karma! Absolutely detestable!”

”Now, Kong Chen has been killed, the golden key has fallen into someone else’s hands, and I can’t even pinpoint the other party. It seems... I can only ask Ancestral Master to take action!”

Jueyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and opened the door to a grand hall.

Inside the grand hall... constructed from thousand-year-old rosewood, lifelike Golden Dragons coiled around the dark golden pillars, and luminous pearls embedded in the dome flowed with a moonlit brilliance.

On the central futon in the grand hall, an old monk sat cross-legged, fine dust settled on his frost-white monk’s robe, and his drooping brows and beard were like snow-white threads, yet they gleamed with a faint golden light under the candlelight.

The Qi flow around him seemed to solidify, and each breath he took carried a sandalwood-like Qi vortex.

The prayer flags suspended in the hall moved without wind, and the copper bells on the eaves, though motionless, emitted a distant Zen sound.

At this moment, the old monk’s eyes were slightly closed, and beneath his seemingly peaceful aura, there was a Buddhist might powerful enough to crush mountains, every wisp of Buddhist light seemingly able to purify all evil in the world.

He was one of the three Ancestral Masters of Tianlong Temple, skilled in deduction and Karma attacks.

”Ancestral Master... this Disciple has a request!”

Jueyuan looked at the old monk before him, his expression respectful, and bowed as he spoke.

”I already know why you’ve come!”

”That golden key is indeed very important to our Tianlong Temple!”

”Since that is the case, then I shall perform a deduction!”

The old monk’s voice was deep, and in the bronze censer before him, three sticks of sandalwood incense were curling up with blue smoke.

Suddenly, he brought his index and middle fingers together on his right hand, slowly raising them upwards, and gently pointed his fingertips towards the Void Realm.

The originally calm sandalwood smoke seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, freezing for an instant, then began to twist and spin, forming a small vortex.

However, the old monk’s brow furrowed imperceptibly, and countless mysterious runes rapidly flowed, collided, and combined.

His lips moved, as if he was softly chanting an ancient mantra, his voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, yet carrying a power that penetrated the heart.

The rotation speed of the sandalwood vortex grew faster and faster, light and shadows constantly shifting, and vaguely, countless fragmented images seemed to flash by, but they were all blurry and difficult to capture.

The old monk’s breathing also became somewhat hurried, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

He could clearly feel that the intent to pursue Wang Teng’s aura was like a lone boat sailing in a vast mist, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, seemingly interfered with and obscured by some force.

”Hmph...! Concealing heavenly secrets, severing Karma, it’s still not enough in front of this monk!”

The old monk snorted coldly, and the Buddhist light around him flared brightly.

He put his palms together, his eyes wide with anger, intending to peel back the mist before him and deduce Wang Teng’s whereabouts and all his information.

Just as the old monk was about to deduce Wang Teng’s whereabouts, in a trance, a green willow branch appeared before his eyes, striking towards him.

”Hmm?”

The old monk’s spirit was greatly shaken, his pupils constricted, and his expression was full of shock. It turned out that behind the person he was deducing, there was also a powerful expert presiding.

However, the old monk showed no fear, bringing his two fingers together, and a dazzling Buddhist light erupted from his fingertips, colliding with the green willow branch.

Boom...!”

Golden and green light erupted simultaneously, like two blazing suns colliding with a roar.

The entire magnificent grand hall also collapsed in an instant.

The thunderous explosion rent the clouds, and the air within a hundred-mile radius violently churned.

A torrent of violent energy, like a tsunami, swept in all directions, tearing the ground into gullies several feet wide, with shattered rocks and broken wood turning into streaks of fire in the energy vortex.

Even the entire Tianlong Temple was affected, with countless Disciples dead or injured, and almost all the temples collapsed.

Pfft...!”

The old monk spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face ashen as paper.

”Issue an order... no one is allowed to investigate that person’s whereabouts again...! This is... a death order...!”

The old monk held on with his last breath, and as his words fell, he directly sat in meditation and passed away on the spot.

”No... Ancestral Master...!”

The middle-aged monk Jueyuan cried out in sorrow and directly pounced towards the Ancestral Master.

However, he pounced into empty space, as the old monk’s body had already transformed into specks of light and vanished.

At this time, the strong experts of Tianlong Temple quickly gathered here.

Especially upon learning of the old monk’s demise, the expressions of Tianlong Temple’s strong experts drastically changed.

As one of the three Ancestral Masters of Tianlong Temple, and highly skilled in deduction and Karma techniques, the old monk was one of Tianlong Temple’s foundations.

Now, he had suddenly died violently, which was an absolutely huge loss for Tianlong Temple.

Even the overall strength of Tianlong Temple would decline by two points; how could the strong experts of Tianlong Temple accept this?

”We must avenge ourselves!”

The strong experts of Tianlong Temple said angrily.

Jueyuan looked at the angry crowd of Tianlong Temple, his expression changing, finally becoming resolute. He decided to conceal what the Ancestral Master had said; they must seek revenge.

Firstly, he had been taught by the Ancestral Master since childhood, and there was a deep bond between them.

Secondly, the Ancestral Master was one of the three Ancestral Masters of Tianlong Temple, and he had died from an attack using Karma techniques. If they didn’t even dare to react, where would Tianlong Temple’s dignity be?

Thirdly, it was his inner guilt. If he hadn’t sought help from the Ancestral Master, how would the Ancestral Master have died because of it?

Now, he wanted to transform that guilt into hatred and avenge the Ancestral Master.

Therefore, this revenge must be taken. As a powerful force that dominated an entire province, Tianlong Temple feared no one...
