"Buddhist Sect’s Tribulation?"

"What tribulation can the Buddhist Sect have?"

Zhao Feng remained puzzled.

What Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad said was too profound and unfathomable, sounding utterly mysterious, possessing a sense of being only comprehensible through intuition rather than words.

"The Buddha was originally Dao."

"Dao diminishes, demons rise."

"Only comprehensible by intuition."

"Perhaps in the future, you will understand." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad smiled faintly.

"Then what tribulation does the Heavenly Court face?" Zhao Feng asked again.

"Previously, I might not have known what tribulation the Heavenly Court suffers, but after seeing you, perhaps..."

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad gave Zhao Feng a deep look: "You are the tribulation of the Heavenly Court."

"If I am indeed the Heavenly Court’s tribulation, then that is wonderful." Zhao Feng chuckled, rather agreeing with this tribulation.

The existence of Qin.

Is to replace the Heavenly Court.

To change this realm.

"From your avatar, you appear to possess enough strength to contend at the level of Daluo Peak, and furthermore, you seem to have several supreme treasures that might enable you to battle a newly ascended Quasi-Saint."

"But once you reach above Mid Quasi-Saint, it is beyond your ability to handle."

"You have entered the Heavenly Court with your avatar this time, not with your true form, which is wise."

"Do not underestimate the Heavenly Court; apart from Hao Tian, there are numerous individuals who can counter you."

"Among the Six Emperors, both Emperor Changsheng and Emperor Qinghua possess strength beyond Quasi-Saint level."

"Moreover, within the Eight Divisions, there are also many Quasi-Saints, though many disciples of the Jie Sect who previously were on the list during the Sealing God Battle were unrestrained by the Heavenly Destiny, but with the Saint’s disappearance, such a situation naturally ceases." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad elaborated.

"I understand the Lord’s meaning."

"In the past, with the Saints present, Hao Tian had to consider the Saints behind the listed Heavenly Gods, but with the Saints vanished, he certainly has no more reservations."

"The Investiture of the Gods is sufficient to control these Heavenly Gods." Zhao Feng immediately nodded in understanding.

"You understand, and that is well."

"Do not underestimate Hao Tian." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad nodded.

"Excuse me, Lord."

"How many forces within the Earth Immortal Realm disrespect the Heavenly Court?" Zhao Feng asked another crucial question again.

During this conversation, Zhao Feng discerned one thing.

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad harbors no animosity toward him, at least not now, on the contrary, he even holds favorable regard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Feng naturally wants to ask more about the situation in the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Wuzhuang Temple, West Kunlun, Blood Sea, Li Mountain... these are no secrets, as long as you enter the Earth Immortal Realm, you can investigate." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad chuckled.

"Lord."

"From your perspective, does the Heavenly Court have any chance of ridding the Immortal Miasma?" Zhao Feng asked.

"In the short term, it can’t be solved."

"But the Heavenly Court is full of talent, and there are those knowledgeable in alchemy and epidemic toxins, given time, the Heavenly Court must be able to resolve it." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad smiled.

...

The two continued with questions and answers.

As time gradually passed.

Until the end.

Zhao Feng posed one of the questions he was most curious about, perhaps one that countless individuals in the Primordial Earth Immortal Realm were curious about.

"Lord."

"It is rumored that you are the avatar of the Taiching Saint from long ago—is this true?" Zhao Feng asked, probing.

"Yes, and no."

Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad smiled.

Zhao Feng looked on with a peculiar expression.

This answer seemed as good as non-existent.

"Alright, young man."

"Since you have come today."

"And I see we are quite connected, I will give you some things." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad did not give Zhao Feng an opportunity to ask further.

With a wave of his hand.

A Dan Gourd appeared.

Along with a scroll.

Both flew toward Zhao Feng.

"What is this?" Zhao Feng received them, tentatively inquiring.

"A single Nine-Transformation Golden Pill."

"Ten Six-Transformation Golden Pills."

"One hundred Fourth-Transformation Golden Cores."

"A scroll of the One Qi to Three Pure Ones Divine Skills, containing my understanding of this divine skill, possibly allowing you to master it more powerfully." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad smiled.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Feng’s eyes brightened, and he immediately cupped his hands and bowed in gratitude: "I thank the Lord for his grace."

"The Palm Leaf Fan and Vajra Bracelet—do you have them in your possession?" Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad smiled again.

"Ah?"

Zhao Feng was dumbfounded, looking at Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad in disbelief.

Ever since Zhao Feng acquired these supreme treasures, he had never shown them.

Even when facing the Heavenly Court, Zhao Feng did not reveal all his magical treasures but used them one by one.

After all, every magical treasure was Zhao Feng’s trump card.

Capable of delivering a fatal blow to the enemy at the critical moment.

The Vajra Bracelet and Palm Leaf Fan are not simple.

"These two magical treasures have always been stored in Doushuai Temple; I do not know how you obtained them."

"However, since you have acquired them, they now belong to your stewardship."

"I hope you will properly utilize these treasures, and effectively transcend your Heavenly Court tribulation."

"Go on now."

"I look forward to you bringing change to this realm." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad smiled mysteriously.

With a lift of his hand.

An irresistible force immediately appeared upon Zhao Feng, directly ejecting him from Doushuai Temple.

Before Zhao Feng could gather his thoughts.

The gates of Doushuai Temple also closed tightly.

"An interesting young man."

"Neither following the Dao nor the Immortal Path, but a completely different cultivation method."

"This realm is shrouded in Tribulation Qi, yet the masses remain unaware; if this continues, ultimately, this realm will perish."

"A Heavenly Court tribulation, may he truly be the tribulation, and replace it."

"If this realm does not change, it is doomed to perish." Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad thought deeply.

Outside Doushuai Temple.

Looking at the closed gates.

And at the Dan Gourd and the One Qi to Three Pure Ones Divine Skill.

Zhao Feng felt as if he were dreaming.

"Lord Lao Zi seems to be a person with the well-being of the masses at heart, from this perspective."
