[You continue saying to the Lesser Dharma King, this senior brother also knows that although cultivating joy Chan can quickly advance one’s magical power, if something goes wrong, then in mild cases, one will become limp and weak and unable to cultivate this path again. In severe cases, all of one’s divine arts and magical power will be destroyed.]

[The Dharma King in your All Evil Precious Temple was precisely because something went wrong in cultivation and practice that he became unable to cultivate joy Chan again. And since all mortal medicines and stones were ineffective, he had you go out wandering to seek this divine medicine.]

[Could it be that this senior brother’s friend is also like this…]

[After hearing this, the Lesser Dharma King nods repeatedly, looking as if it is sincerely putting itself in its friend’s place.]

[You wrap an arm around the Lesser Dharma King’s shoulder and say with heroic spirit reaching the clouds, you and senior brother feel like old friends at first meeting. Senior brother’s friend naturally counts as your friend as well. If I can find this divine medicine, then giving senior brother half is only right and proper!]

[But this Kunlun is a Buddhist treasure land, Enma’s garden park. According to what senior brother just said, I fear that entering Kunlun will not be an easy matter…]

[When the Lesser Dharma King hears that you are willing to split half with it after gathering the divine medicine, it is deeply moved by your loyalty. But after learning of your difficulties, it also becomes somewhat anxious.]

[It ponders for a long time, then calmly analyzes for you, if this divine medicine is truly hidden within Kunlun, then senior brother faces three difficulties in entering the mountain gate to gather the medicine.]

[First, Kunlun is located over four hundred li east of Qingtang, but this place is hidden among the vast mountains and concealed by great divine arts. At a glance, it looks no different from the other mountain ridges. Truly finding Kunlun’s mountain gate is by no means easy.]

[Second, Kunlun is managed by Lu Wu. If one has not obtained Enma’s permission, even if the Buddha Ancestor personally descends, he will still be blocked outside the mountain gate. Entering the mountain gate is also an extremely difficult matter.]

[Third, even if you luckily enter the mountain gate, obtaining such divine medicine from Lu Wu’s hands will likely be even harder than hard.]

[After analyzing it like this, it also feels an extreme headache…]

[Seeing this, you sigh deeply and say, ah, I also know that entering the mountain to gather medicine is harder than ascending to the heavens. If not for the Dharma King’s commission, I would not have come to Secret Trace Temple to disturb senior brother.]

[Now senior brother’s friend also needs such divine medicine, making the burden on your shoulders even heavier…]

[But regardless of whether gathering the medicine succeeds in the end, I still want to go to Kunlun and try. Even if not for the Dharma King, I must do it for senior brother’s friend.]

[In your life, you admire people who put loyalty first the most. Senior brother wholeheartedly thinks for his friend, which moves you greatly. I also feel like old friends with senior brother at first meeting, so both emotionally and logically, I should do my utmost!]

[The Lesser Dharma King immediately stands up and toasts you with a cup of wine, saying, senior brother is so loyal and righteous. As junior brother, I should also return the favor. Senior brother, please enjoy the fine wine and delicacies here and wait a moment. Junior brother will go browse the sutras and classics right now to see whether I can find some clues related to Kunlun and help senior brother resolve his worries…]

[After saying this, the Lesser Dharma King thanks you repeatedly, then jogs away to search through the classics and sutras. From its appearance, it is simply even more invested in this matter than you yourself.]

[The White Elephant Demon beside you stares straight at you and secretly thinks, junior brother’s Great Deception Art is truly terrifying. In just a little while, it made this Lesser Dharma King wholeheartedly run errands and handle matters for you.]

[It grabs a chicken leg and stuffs it into its large mouth, then asks in confusion, junior brother, did you see in advance that the Lesser Dharma King could not do that? If its body were fine, how would you fool it?]

[You glance at the White Elephant Demon and reply, senior brother, these are not the main point. The main point is that all under heaven bustle for profit, and all under heaven hurry for gain. Let alone worldly mortals, even the gods and Buddhas filling the heavens value the interests they need.]

[I merely took out an interest that could move the Lesser Dharma King, which is why the Lesser Dharma King willingly works for me.]

[If the Lesser Dharma King had no hidden illness, you could also use those rare Buddhist cultivation methods in your pocket as bait, making the Lesser Dharma King willingly run errands for you.]

[The White Elephant Demon nods as if half-understanding. It only feels that there seems to be nothing that can stump you. No wonder the Bodhisattva entrusted the heavy responsibility of heading to Penglai to you…]

[…]

[…]

[You senior and junior brothers wait from nightfall all the way until daybreak before the Lesser Dharma King finally hurries back.]

[It searched through many ancient sutras and finally found concrete clues about Kunlun…]

[The Lesser Dharma King says to you, senior brother, several hundred years ago, this temple once organized many monks to search for Kunlun hidden among the mountains. Unfortunately, even after gathering over one thousand monks from the entire temple to search, they ultimately returned empty-handed.]

[Later, however, a mountain woodcutter actually discovered Kunlun’s mountain gate and unintentionally entered it, seeing countless rare treasures.]

[After leaving Kunlun, he reported it to the Dharma King of this temple at the time. The Dharma King recorded Kunlun’s location, then explored Kunlun again.]

[The Dharma King arrived at Kunlun’s mountain gate according to what the woodcutter said, but he was unable to enter.]

[According to that woodcutter, there was a voice in the unseen that said he was a fated one, so he was able to enter Kunlun’s mountain gate without obstruction.]

[Although there were many rare treasures and strange beasts within Kunlun, the woodcutter could take nothing away. He could only enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed. In the end, unwilling to accept this, he reported it to Secret Trace Temple.]

[Afterward, the Dharma King sent monks to Kunlun’s mountain gate many times, but unfortunately, no fated one like the woodcutter ever appeared again.]

[Perhaps because they disturbed it too many times and caused that yokai god Lu Wu to become displeased, after it crushed all the visiting monks to death with an overturned palm one time, the Dharma King listed Kunlun as a forbidden ground and forbade the monks in the temple from exploring Kunlun again.]

[As time passed, Kunlun gradually came to be forgotten by people…]

[After the Lesser Dharma King says this, it looks at you apologetically and says, senior brother, it only found these recorded sutras and Kunlun’s specific location.]

[Whether you can enter Kunlun’s mountain gate will still depend on senior brother’s fate.]

[Senior brother treats it with a sincere heart, so as junior brother, it naturally must tell the truth. That yokai god Lu Wu may be somewhat tired of seeing monks. If senior brother insists on going to Kunlun, you must be very careful.]

[If you confirm that you are not a fated one, do not linger or force it. Leave Kunlun as quickly as possible, so as to avoid failing to obtain the divine medicine and losing your own life instead.]

[As it speaks, the Lesser Dharma King tells you Kunlun’s mountain gate’s detailed location, as well as how to identify Kunlun among the mountains.]

[You have learned the specific location of Kunlun!]

When Lin Xun saw this prompt, it was as if he had seen the prompt [You have activated the hidden quest, Journey to Kunlun!]

He had already obtained the preliminary intelligence for the quest more or less, so he said farewell to the Lesser Dharma King and immediately set out for Kunlun.

[…]

[You sit upon the flying cloud raised by the White Elephant Demon. After flying over the Gobi wilderness, what appears before you is one vast mountain range after another…]

[You overlook the rolling mountains beneath your feet. The mountains are grayish-yellow, with extremely few trees, grasses, and plants. Even when there are trees, they are only one or two solitary, crooked dead trees.]

[Describing this land as bleak, deathly silent, and utterly lifeless is extremely fitting.]
