Just ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍moments ago, he had been pondering Feng Jiuge’s matter.

That ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍kid had been slaughtering his way through the Demon Realm with unstoppable momentum. Once Feng Jiuge reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, Gu Yan still had not decided whether to bring him into the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven or allow him to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

While ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍thinking about this matter, he suddenly felt a whim arise in his heart.

Gu Yan was now already at the Golden Immortal Sixth Layer. The immortal power within his body was vast as the sea, while his mind was steady as a mountain.

At this realm, things like sudden spiritual premonitions rarely occurred.

Once they did occur, it meant that something somewhere had formed a karmic connection with him in the unseen.

At the time, he used the Haotian Mirror to perform calculations.

In the end, he discovered that the source of this premonition actually came from the Mortal Realm South Abyss No. 73.

Before Gu Yan had separated his Good Body Fang Yuan, this mortal world had existed in a state where various faiths coexisted side by side.

The Daoist sects had temples, spreading Dao teachings and refining pills to cultivate the body.

The Buddhist sects had monasteries, reciting scriptures and delivering salvation to all living beings.

The Confucian sects had academies, reading the books of sages and nurturing righteous qi.

Aside from these, there were also various miscellaneous and unorthodox schools, each competing for believers among mortals while spreading their teachings and imparting knowledge.

Thus, every faction possessed its own followers and incense offerings.

Although the various sects occasionally experienced friction, overall they coexisted peacefully, and none managed to completely suppress the others.

However, all of this changed entirely during the hundred years following the unification of the world.

In every corner of this world, everyone now recited only a single name.

Great Love Immortal Venerable, Fang Yuan.

The Daoist temples became empty. The Buddhist monasteries became empty.

Places once flourishing with incense offerings were now deserted.

The clay statues and wooden idols upon the altars gathered dust, neglected by all.

Replacing them were temples dedicated to Great Love Immortal Venerable spread throughout the world, flourishing with incense offerings and packed with believers.

But the problem was that this mortal world was unlike the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, which was covered by Gu Yan’s red entry 《Body Without Self and Form · Red》.

The reason the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven could isolate itself from all forms of investigation entirely relied upon the power of that entry.

Yet this mortal world lacked such protection, meaning it was exposed openly for anyone to see clearly.

Thus, the result of the Haotian Mirror’s calculations showed that forces within the Immortal Realm had already noticed the changes occurring within this world.

And that force was precisely the Buddhist Sect.

Originally, the Buddhist Sect’s believers within this mortal world accounted for sixty percent of the population.

Now, overnight, the believers had vanished, the monasteries had emptied, and the incense offerings had been severed.

Anyone in their position would have to ask: what exactly happened here?

The Buddhist Sect emphasized saving all living beings and spreading Buddhist teachings far and wide, placing immense importance upon lands of faith.

Now that the Buddhist Sect’s foundation within this mortal world had been uprooted entirely, it would be truly strange if they ignored the matter completely.

Furthermore, the Buddhist Sect had a certain rule.

Or perhaps more accurately, a bad habit.

Whenever they discovered that the faith of a mortal world had been occupied by another force, they would inevitably send people down to investigate.

If it was merely a minor sect, they would directly drive them away.

If it was an evenly matched opponent, they would negotiate and discuss the matter.

If it was an existence they could not afford to provoke, then they would simply swallow their anger and accept it.

In short, they first had to determine who was responsible before deciding how to handle the matter.

While Gu Yan was contemplating this issue, he also sensed the abnormal disturbance within the Spirit Realm.

As the scene within the Haotian Mirror shifted, revealing the Eastern Sea of the Spirit Realm—

Deep within the Eastern Sea, an enormous dragon shadow was awakening.

It was precisely Ao Cang.

At the time, while watching that demon dragon within the mirror, a plan immediately formed in Gu Yan’s heart.

He had been troubled over who would be suitable to send to the South Abyss mortal world, and now the most appropriate “candidate” had personally delivered itself to his doorstep.

Peak Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivation—

Not to mention within a mortal world, even within middle worlds, that was still top-tier combat strength.

If Ao Cang were sent to guard Mortal Realm South Abyss No. 73, then when the Buddhist Sect dispatched an advance force to investigate, it would naturally stand at the forefront.

At that time, if the Buddhist Sect failed to recognize what was good for them and insisted on slaughtering this demon dragon to seize territory from him—

Then Fang Yuan would personally step onto the stage.

Our Great Love Immortal Venerable did not cause trouble.

But he was certainly not afraid of trouble either.
