Chapter 624

Such a thing as a teleportation gate has never existed in the Journey to the West World.

It's hard to guarantee that Ancestor Hongjun, upon seeing the teleportation gate, won't make some connection.

Luo Fu cannot remain constantly in the Nether Blood Sea, sealing this small space with the Chaos Pearl.

"It's better to carry it with me!"

With a thought, Luo Fu directly began communicating with the Chaos Pearl.

The next moment, an invisible force enveloped the entire small space.

Shu!

Under the effect of this invisible force, the small space instantly vanished like a bubble, taking Luo Fu along with it.

When it reappeared, the small space suddenly materialized inside the Chaos Pearl.

"Now no one can find it."

After storing the small space within the Chaos Pearl, Luo Fu nodded in satisfaction.

"This space shall be called Qiankun Cave Heaven!"

This small space is specifically meant to house the teleportation gate, primarily involving the Dao of Space.

Qiankun means space; naming it Qiankun Cave Heaven is extremely fitting.

After arranging Qiankun Cave Heaven, Luo Fu began using it to carry out his next plan.

He expended considerable effort to create Qiankun Cave Heaven; of course, he must make good use of it.

With a wave of his right hand, a surge of spatial power flew from Luo Fu's hand into one of the Shankongjian Sect's teleportation gates.

Boom!

The teleportation gate immediately activated and began to rage.

Normally activating a teleportation gate would never trigger such a rage.

Clearly, Luo Fu was not activating the teleportation gate normally.

As the teleportation gate raged, a tremendous suction force transmitted to the other side of the gate.

Immediately, a figure, utterly powerless to resist, was teleported into Qiankun Cave Heaven by this suction force.

······

Bombarding Lingshan.

"Spatial fluctuations—that's Kong Xuan's sacred ground. Could he be contemplating the Dao of Space?"

A gaunt old monk suddenly opened his eyes and gazed toward a certain direction.

Since this spatial power caused no significant destruction,

the gaunt old monk merely glanced once, then withdrew his gaze.

"Luo Fu Daoist—when did such a figure emerge in the Three Realms? Why did the Saint task me with replacing Sakyamuni? I must seek out Sakyamuni to learn more about this Luo Fu Daoist. Amitabha!"

This gaunt old monk was none other than the current second-in-command of Buddhism, Daoist Randeng.

······

Inside Qiankun Cave Heaven, under the suction of the teleportation gate, a figure appeared out of thin air before the gate, utterly powerless to resist.

This figure was none other than Kong Xuan, the Peacock Great Brightness King.

"Where is this place? Why am I here? Luo Fu Daoist—did you bring me here?"

Kong Xuan first looked bewildered, then quickly realized—he turned sharp eyes toward Luo Fu.

"I brought you here. Before discussing my purpose, let's deal with a small problem first."

With a light wave of his right hand, a beam of light shot out and struck Kong Xuan directly.

Upon being struck by this light, Kong Xuan's body first erupted in intense Buddhist radiance, which then melted away like snow.

Only a trace remained, sealed by the light and left inside Kong Xuan's body.

"Thank you, friend!"

As the Buddhist radiance was purged, Kong Xuan's gaze suddenly became clear.

In an instant, as if understanding something, Kong Xuan sincerely bowed to Luo Fu in gratitude.

The Buddhist radiance within Kong Xuan was the transformative light left by Saint Zhunti.

With Kong Xuan's strength, Saint Zhunti's transformative light could not fully convert him.

Hence, Kong Xuan had not lost his self like other fanatical devotees.

Of course, this transformative light had subtly but profoundly influenced him.

Otherwise, Kong Xuan would never have joined Buddhism.

This was why Kong Xuan thanked Luo Fu.

The Saint's methods were extremely subtle.

Had Luo Fu not acted, Kong Xuan would never have discovered it.

Though the transformative light now had limited effect on Kong Xuan, as Saint Zhunti's understanding of the Transformative Dao deepened over time,

this transformative light would eventually fully convert Kong Xuan into a puppet of Buddhism.

"The problem is handled. Now, let's get to the main point: yes, I brought you to Qiankun Cave Heaven. But I didn't bring you here for you—I brought you here for Daoist Yuan Feng."

To Kong Xuan's gratitude, Luo Fu merely nodded slightly and accepted it calmly, then directly stated his purpose.

"For Daoist Yuan Feng? But Daoist Yuan Feng has been dead for ages!"

Hearing Luo Fu's words, Kong Xuan's pupils shrank sharply; his gratitude faded, his gaze sharpened again, and a flicker of wariness surfaced deep in his eyes.

"Heh, no need to be so wary—if I truly meant you harm, you couldn't stop me."

Sensing the rising wariness in Kong Xuan, Luo Fu smiled faintly, speaking with absolute confidence, then immediately exposed Kong Xuan's secret.

"Daoist Yuan Feng is dead—but you still carry her lingering soul."

Yes, there is also a secret within Kong Xuan.

That secret is Daoist Yuan Feng.

Kong Xuan's true form is a peacock.

This is also why he is called the Peacock Great Ming King in Buddhism.

The peacock is the offspring born by Kong Xuan before his death.

In other words, Kong Xuan is the son of Daoist Yuan Feng.

Precisely because of this, a fragment of Daoist Yuan Feng's lingering soul remained within Kong Xuan's bloodline.

The phoenix is a legendary immortal bird, possessing the ability of rebirth through nirvana.

As the first phoenix in heaven and earth, rebirth through nirvana was nearly her instinct.

How could Daoist Yuan Feng, who possessed the ability of rebirth through nirvana, be utterly lost?

Thus, before her death, Daoist Yuan Feng left behind a contingency—her contingency was the lingering soul within Kong Xuan.

Daoist Yuan Feng, who could rebirth through nirvana, even with only a fragment of her soul, might still be reborn.

Unfortunately, the contingency left by Daoist Yuan Feng did not help her achieve full rebirth.

Since the Wushuyuan Society, Kong Xuan's greatest endeavor has been to resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng.

Even his joining Buddhism was meant to use Buddhism to resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng.

But he never expected that the two sages of Buddhism would be so shameless—they left their own contingency directly within him.

If Luo Fu had not intervened, Kong Xuan would surely have joined Buddhism.

"How do you know this? I've never told anyone."

Hearing Luo Fu reveal his secret outright, Kong Xuan was stunned, his face filled with disbelief as he demanded harshly.

"Don't ask how I know— I only want to ask you: do you want to resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng?"

Luo Fu cut off Kong Xuan's question and retorted bluntly.
