"What was that just now?"

"I seemed to have contacted some indescribable existence out of thin air?"

"But this connection was forcibly severed by a mysterious third-party force?"

Li Yun frowned.

He suddenly felt something was not right.

The idea of continuing to upgrade the Immovable Bright King Scripture also had to be canceled.

He felt it was better to be cautious given such a bizarre change.

After all, he was still a bit weak now.

It was best not to get involved with those mysterious, indescribable existences for the time being.

And at this moment—

The Stone Gate of the Seventh Stone Chamber also opened.

Clearly, Li Yun had completed the rule test of the Seventh Stone Chamber by cultivating the Immovable Bright King Scripture, causing light to emit in his mind and evolve into a phantom image of the Wisdom King.

Li Yun thought for a moment, then stepped through.

Instantly, his vision cleared, but Li Yun was stunned.

Li Yun originally thought that after stepping through this Stone Gate, it would be the eighth stone chamber.

But he didn't expect it.

He appeared on a square that looked like white jade.

This square was located atop a mountain peak, surrounded by cliffs and precipices, with a clear blue sky and white clouds drifting above.

In front, an Ancient Temple stood on the edge of the cliff.

It was already desolate.

In a corner of the square stood an ancient stone tablet, inscribed with four large characters: Cloud Dragon Zen Temple!

Seeing the stone tablet, Li Yun's pupils suddenly contracted.

Cloud Dragon Zen Temple?

He had actually arrived directly at the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple?

So, there were only seven stone chamber tests, and after completing all of them, he could arrive at the real Cloud Dragon Zen Temple?

Was the Earth-grade Divine Power, the Netherworld Subduing Demon Seal, that Old Daoist Wuchen mentioned hidden within this Cloud Dragon Zen Temple?

Thinking of this.

Li Yun's heart trembled, and he felt a surge of intense excitement.

He quickly strode towards the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

But before he could leave the square.

A roar suddenly erupted from within the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

This roar was filled with madness and demonic energy, and it gave Li Yun a strange sense of familiarity. He immediately thought of the demonic energy he had seen on the Demonic Monk he had encountered before.

However, the demonic energy on those Demonic Monk was nothing compared to what came from within the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

If those Demonic Monk were just minor demons, then what was hidden in the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple was a colossal demon of unparalleled power.

"Dog thing, stinky bald donkey... you can't stop me!"

"Sooner or later, I will overturn this broken Zen Temple!"

"I will turn all the living beings in this world into my demon disciples, into my believers..."

"Buzz!"

Responding to this frantic roar was an ancient bell chime.

As this bell chime rang out, the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple erupted with brilliant golden light, enveloping the entire Cloud Dragon Zen Temple, and forming a massive hundred-zhang Buddha statue above the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

The giant Buddha formed a seal with one hand and a large palm print with the other, striking down!

A miserable howl immediately came from within the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

"Netherworld Subduing Demon Seal!"

"Damn bald donkey, this move again! You just wait, you can't suppress me for much longer..."

"My demonic thoughts have already spread out. Sooner or later, countless believers of mine will come here to overturn this broken Zen Temple..."

Li Yun was greatly shocked.

He felt that the huge Buddha statue above the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple seemed to be smiling at him.

With this smile.

The System began to vibrate intensely.

【Observing the Buddha's smile, Martial Dao comprehension points +300 million!】

Terrifying!

Just this one smile caused his Martial Dao comprehension points to skyrocket at a terrifying rate of 300 million per second. Unfortunately, it only lasted for ten seconds.

The massive Buddha statue then transformed back into a golden light and retreated into the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

The Cloud Dragon Zen Temple returned to its quiet and ancient appearance.

And at this moment.

On the System panel, in the Divine Power column, a new Divine Power, the Netherworld Subduing Demon Seal, predictably appeared and was currently loading.

The loading speed was a bit slow.

Even so.

Li Yun was already filled with pleasant surprise. This was an Earth-grade Divine Power! Its power was beyond imagination, and it was practically impossible to obtain outside. Now, he had it.

He just needed to wait patiently for a while, and this Earth-grade Divine Power would become a world-shaking ultimate technique in his hands!

From now on, even when entering the Reaching Heaven Nine Realms, he would have a foundation to stand upon.

Even so.

Li Yun still wanted to go and see the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

After all, the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple itself was an ancient treasure.

But just then.

A Buddhist chant suddenly came from behind him.

"Amitabha..."

Li Yun turned his head and was surprised to find that Little Monk Xu Ming had actually caught up again.

Li Yun truly found this mysterious Little Monk difficult to see through.

How long had it been? He had actually passed even the Seventh Stone Chamber with ease.

"Little Shifu Xu Ming, you're here..."

"Where are my friends?"

"Amitabha... Little Monk has done his best. Benefactor Zhao and the other three are still in the Sixth Stone Chamber. However, Benefactor Li, you can rest assured, they will be fine."

Li Yun was slightly surprised: "According to the rules of the stone chambers, if the test is not passed within three days, Sinful Fiend energy will be generated..."

"Amitabha... My Buddha is merciful. The tests set up in this Cloud Dragon Zen Temple are merely to select those who are fated with Buddha. How could it be so cruel as to kill people with Sinful Fiend energy if they fail the test?"

"In reality, that is just the Sinful Fiend suppressed within the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple causing trouble."

"Sinful Fiend?"

Li Yun was astonished: "Little Shifu Xu Ming, you seem to know a lot about the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple. I wonder what kind of existence this Sinful Fiend you mentioned is?"

"Amitabha..."

"That Sinful Fiend was one of the ancient Demon Sect magnates, and was actually one of the vanguards of the Demon Realm's invasion of the Heavenly Ancient Continent. In the ancient war, it was suppressed by a great sage of our Buddha's Door using the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple."

"However, the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple was also damaged as a result, giving the Sinful Fiend a chance to breathe."

"During the long period of confrontation with the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple, the Sinful Fiend also found a slight fated opportunity to tamper with the rules of the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple, thereby allowing a portion of its demonic thoughts to escape."

"If this continues, the Sinful Fiend will inevitably break free, bringing another catastrophe to the Heavenly Ancient Continent."

"Fortunately, Little Monk's Shifu calculated the time when the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple would reappear in the world and specifically ordered Little Monk to come here to retrieve the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple and suppress the Sinful Fiend again."

Speaking of this, Little Monk Xu Ming paused.

"If this affects Benefactor Li's fated opportunity, Little Monk hopes Benefactor Li will understand."

"So that's how it is..."

Li Yun immediately understood, and then said with a straightforward and calm demeanor: "It's fine. So-called opportunities, they are only opportunities if obtained; if not, they are merely fleeting clouds. Little Shifu Xu Ming, feel free to take this Cloud Dragon Zen Temple."

Li Yun thought to himself, anyway, the greatest fated opportunity, the Earth-grade Divine Power Netherworld Subduing Demon Seal, was already in hand. Whether or not he obtained this Cloud Dragon Zen Temple was no longer that important.

Moreover, there was a Sinful Fiend suppressed inside.

He was not confident in dealing with it.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. This was also a good fated opportunity to make friends with this mysterious Little Monk Xu Ming.

In his opinion, this was more valuable than the treasure that was the Cloud Dragon Zen Temple.

Unexpectedly.

Seeing him so open and generous, Little Monk Xu Ming was very happy.

"Amitabha..."

"I didn't expect Benefactor Li to be so broad-minded. Little Monk is impressed!"
