Chapter 1385: with translation of chapter title

This is the power of the world tree's living beings offering to me; the world tree does not die, these living beings are not extinct, this power continues to exist. In some great worlds, this power is also called 'incense'!

Incense!

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Xuan gave a simple explanation.

In some worlds, there are also strong cultivators who prove the Dao through the way of incense, such as many Buddhist cultivators who establish Buddhist countries, using the power of offerings to comprehend and prove the Dao.

Wu Wo thought for a moment and said, 'Back when we were in Nan Huang, a few Buddhist temples already used this method to cultivate, but back then the number of living beings who believed in them was still too small, so they did not produce the strong incense of the master. After arriving at the Fallen Star Sea and the lower realms, the number of believers increased, and indeed a prototype of this incense emerged.'

Lu Xuan smiled without speaking, 'In this world there is certainly no shortage of true Buddhas, but many more follow the way of incense to gather followers.'

Wu Wo nodded, 'Not bad. They create disasters, then step in to quell them, gradually raising their status in the hearts of believers. Those living beings are all being deceived!'

Ji Fuyao gave a disdainful smile, 'How could such a great Dao reach the summit?'

Ye Chen snorted coldly, 'I don't want this kind of Dao incense even if it were given to me! If it were the master's kind of incense, I could still accept it.'

Everyone does not disdain the cooking of some Buddhist cultivators.

Lu Xuan said lightly, 'Actually, relying on this power of offerings, one can also reach the pinnacle. However, if the believers encounter problems, the power of faith usually scatters like monkeys fleeing a falling tree. As the saying goes, the peak can produce false support; at dusk, how can one witness true believers?'

Everyone nodded.

This way of incense is a mutually beneficial process.

Lu Xuan's hand seal shifted, drawing the incense power on his body directly onto Xiao Shu and Xiao Qing, leaving none for himself.

This incense power is useful to you; the stronger you become, the more they offer, the more they offer, the stronger you become.

If the world tree keeps rising, then all this will be like stepping on the left foot with the right foot and the right foot with the left foot, continuously rising.

Not long after.

Lu Xuan finished eating, then collapsed onto the Yan Chuang and began to rest.

Xiao Nannan then pulled Xiao Shu's hand, and the two began to play again.

……

At the same time, the Butterfly World.

Central trunk.

Chi!

The phantom of Butterfly Moon slowly appeared, she wore a blood-red dress, her exquisite face cold as frost, her posture peerless, like a celestial maiden, her jade hand continually shifting.

One after another, brilliant Dao patterns emerged, then transformed into a vast net that fell into the upstream river.

Supreme divine ability!

Splash! Splash!

In the upstream river, a spray of waves immediately rose, the great Dao of time rippled.

At that moment, at the zenith of the void, the young man of the Past Sect held a fishing rod, his brows slightly furrowed.

It was precisely Butterfly Moon's intervention that caused him to lose again his pursuit of the Reincarnation Ancient Court.

He did not say anything to Butterfly Moon.

"Is Butterfly Moon doing this on purpose, or is it accidental?"

The young man muttered to himself.

The great battle that erupted at the end of the river has nearly made him angry.

Just because.

During the final battle, the Shou clan actually dispatched five-star Dao Void realm experts; their aura nearly stirred up waves, causing his fish to disappear.

As for Lu Xuan and the Shou clan, the outcome of the Guile Palace battle, he does not care.

The Past Sect does not interfere in this, because there is no employer asking them to.

Moreover, regarding this battle, he has long felt faintly that Lu Xuan will not be defeated here.

After all, a person's fame, a tree's shadow.

In the past, Lu Xuan dominated the void; in the great universe, he held power over life and death, unmatched under heaven. As the saying goes, a dead skinny camel is still bigger than a horse; if Lu Xuan were to fall to a Dao Jun realm cultivator, his lifelong fame would forever sink into the world.

And at this moment.

Butterfly Moon's will also noticed the young man at the void's zenith, who still wore a raincoat and bamboo hat, appearing as an old fisherman, holding a fish rod without line, fishing in the upstream river.

She merely glanced at him, then treated him as if he did not exist.

A strong cultivator of the Past Sect has already been imprisoned by her, right here in the central trunk.

She understands the Past Sect's code of conduct.

In the absence of an employer ordering her to act, this person will not make a move against the Butterfly World.

Soon.

The vast net that Butterfly Moon scattered in the upstream river began to tremble, strands of divine radiance poured down, each strand of Dao Resonance exuding great power, sealing a supreme object beneath the great net.

This is an ancient relic!

The Past Sect man at the void's zenith lightly probed and said, 'It is not the Reincarnation Ancient Court.'

In the past, Butterfly Moon once struck at the upstream river, seizing the fragmented inheritance of the Reincarnation Ancient Court and casting it into the Butterfly World.

But the true foundation of the Reincarnation Ancient Court still lies within this upstream river.

The Reincarnation Ancient Court is what he is concerned about.

This is the employer's demand.

The rain‑clad man's eyes were like water; he could not help but recall the endless past, imagining that back then this stretch of the upstream river was prosperous and flourishing, with many great powers standing side by side.

Back then, as a disciple of the Past Sect, he had once set foot in this ruined universe, and was shocked by this place.

He once thought that such a hegemonic land would never decline; know that the great powers dominating here, such as the empress of the Reincarnation Ancient Court, were truly formidable figures.

Who could have imagined that the silent years would bury this land of flowers as splendid as brocade.

Many major powers sank, the great world shattered, and only some fragmentary small worlds remain above the long river.

Even the empress of the Reincarnation Ancient Court has disappeared.

The straw-hatted man sighed, withdrawing his gaze from the place of Dieyue's vast net.

Continue fishing for the relics of the Reincarnation Ancient Court!

Know that, in former times this land of flourishing blossoms, many great worlds were shattered, the river of time flowed backwards in a rush, and many relics and inheritances, even supreme treasures, sank into the long river.

Just now Dieyue fished out a relatively large inheritance power.

But compared to the Reincarnation Ancient Court, it's still vastly different!

The straw-hatted man looked at the shimmering waters of the long river, his gaze deep, his fishing rod extended toward the vicinity of the World Tree, calming his mind and regulating his breath.

At this moment, Dieyue's jade hand rose lightly.

The relic of the ancient great world that he had just fished up transformed into a stream of light, winding around her fingertips.

It appears to be only a faint stream of light, but inside it secretly hides the universe.

This is indeed the remnant of a great world from the past!

"Chi chi chi!"

In the endless darkness, several illusory figures slowly emerged.

The aura of the Deceitful Clan, the aura of the Longevity Clan, and the aura of the Past Sect…… all emerged!

They are the Deceitful Clan's Xuanming Old Ancestor, the Longevity Clan's Sima Tai, and the Past Sect's Suxi……

Also the aura of Gu Yue Laozi!

They all looked toward Dieyue Old Ancestor, as Xuanming Old Ancestor coldly chuckled and said, "Dieyue, your painstaking efforts to fish up these ancient relics, attempting to use their power to oppose us, is nothing but a foolish daydream!"
