Chapter 323: Sister Miaochang, Qing Nü, and Li Yu's Shura Field
Li Yu was not entirely certain at first that the pollution and invasion of the Shuiyue Nunnery by the Immaculate Mount Mount Fumu must have been empowered by the authority of the Curtain Master.
It was not until he accelerated toward the depths of the Shuiyue Nunnery and witnessed a "melodramatic story" unfolding the next moment that he became completely convinced.
It was a pair of figures, one man and one woman, locked in an endless struggle.
The woman, if there were no surprises, should be a high-ranking disciple of the Shuiyue Nunnery; judging by the intensity of her energy, she had reached at least the level of a Sequence 5 【Precept-Holding Chan Master】.
Yet at this moment, she had not a shred of the appearance of a Chan master who was pure of heart and few of desires, or one who held the precepts and cultivated.
Instead, she was scantily clad, bright and moving.
Her head, which should have been shaven bare, had grown a head of dark hair, and every smile and frown was constantly releasing a power of enchantment that made one's soul tremble.
It seemed that because she was polluted, her cultivation had instead advanced greatly.
Around her body, there was actually a "Red Lotus Domain" co-existing, where strange red lotuses condensed from filthy Qi were in full bloom, and any intruder had to undergo a judgment.
At this time, the person trying to break in and awaken this nun was a young man clearly dressed as an Imperial Prince.
He wore an imperial robe and was handsome, though his temperament appeared somewhat decadent and weak.
He should be cultivating the Heavenly Lord path under the Haotian Sect, and it was estimated that he had also reached the Sequence 5 level.
While displaying the demeanor of a wealthy tycoon, he kept throwing talismans and magic treasures into the Red Lotus Domain, while simultaneously uttering Dao sounds in an attempt to awaken the woman.
Yet not only did he fail!
He himself became trapped within.
He was forcibly seized into the domain by the nun, pressed onto the bewitching red lotus, and subjected to plucking and supplementation.
And it was not just his physical essence that was plundered; a unique Qi within his body was also taken away.
That was the Imperial Luck!
Normally, it is very difficult to plunder.
But if the original owner is willing, the success rate is very high.
The man appeared even more decadent and weak after being plucked, while the nun's temperament changed abruptly, manifesting a sense of dominance; she stripped the Sixth Prince of his robes and put them directly onto her own graceful body, looking like a mighty and domineering Empress.
In a trance, she seemed to truly show signs of waking up.
But it was not a return to her original self, but a transition to another personality.
During his rapid approach, Li Yu heard the whole story.
"The woman is named Miaokong, and she is one of the most outstanding talented disciples of this generation of the Shuiyue Nunnery."
"During an outing to gain experience, she developed feelings for the Sixth Prince, who had the best chance of seizing the position of Crown Prince in the Gan Kingdom, and almost returned to secular life to marry into the royal family."
"However, this romance was rejected by both the Gan royal family and the Shuiyue Nunnery, and because the Sixth Prince had a somewhat cowardly personality, although he loved Miaokong deeply, he dared not defy the Emperor, and in the end, the lovebirds were torn apart."
"After suffering this tribulation, Miaokong returned to the nunnery and successfully promoted to Sequence 5 【Precept-Holding Chan Master】, becoming famous."
"The Shuiyue Nunnery's current disaster was inexplicably known first by the Sixth Prince, and he was not blocked when he entered the Zhu Wugou Land Array."
"Because of his previous guilt, he tried to awaken Miaokong."
"He gave everything, and there was a glimmer of success."
"But if there are no surprises, he will still fail, and because of the 【Imperial Luck】 he contributed, Miaokong will gain more powerful strength while her temperament will change drastically, breeding infinite ambition; a polluted, self-centered, and domineering female demon is being born."
Li Yu quickly summarized the plot and continued to maintain his stealth state, moving toward the deeper parts at a faster speed.
He did not intervene!
First, he was worried about Sister Miaochang's safety and did not want to delay even a moment.
Second, he knew that what was before him was not his "cause and effect," but an independent story derived from the authority of the Curtain Master, in which there was no role for him, Li Yu.
If he rashly intervened, he would suffer a backlash from the authority.
At this moment, because he realized something, a complex expression of both relief and ugliness appeared on Li Yu's face.
"As one of the important Buddhist cultivation sites in the Gan Kingdom, the Abbess of the Shuiyue Nunnery is Sequence 3, so there should still be a group of Sequence 4 Elders, some Sequence 5 disciples, and so on."
"Even if their spiritual connection with the 【Mount Mount Fumu】 is cut off, they still have the power to resist."
"But because of the authority of the Curtain Master, they are being polluted at an accelerated rate."
"At the same time, because of this evil god's 'playwright quirk,' some disciples with obsessions will have stories derived from them."
"The characters involved will, under the guidance of mysterious cause and effect, come to the Shuiyue Nunnery inexplicably and incredibly smoothly."
"Just like that Sixth Prince and Miaokong."
"Hmm?"
"If Sister Miaochang and I also belong to this situation, then she should not have fallen and alienated to the extent of those outer court disciples, and might even have gained some empowerment in strength..."
"If it were purely the 'Immaculate Mount Mount Fumu' descending to pollute, She would only think of alienating everyone in the Shuiyue Nunnery into Her own 'Immaculate Buddha Maidens' as resources, and packing them all up to return to the Fallen Buddhism."
"But with the Curtain Master involved, many melodramatic stories will arise in the process."
Just as this speculation could not help but arise in Li Yu's heart.
Along the way, he saw one scene after another of similar situations, which almost completely verified his thoughts.
Most of the Sequence 4 nun elders and Sequence 5 and 6 disciples.
Had all been polluted into well-known strange objects in the Fallen Buddhism.
Such as "Meat Lotus Desire Guanyin," "Blood Ghee Lamp Mother," "Womb-Storage Woman," and so on.
These nuns were all highly gifted.
After being polluted, alienated, and fallen, as long as they are brought back to Wanfu City and blessed, the Fallen Buddhism can greatly increase its strength again.
To a certain extent, it can be considered as taking away a complete Shuiyue Nunnery from Buddhism, which is completely worth the 【Immaculate Mount Mount Fumu】 sending a clone to make a trip; with the bottom-line help of the Curtain Master, it can be called a huge profit.
Except for them!
The rest were even better.
Those who had not been quickly polluted into strange objects, such as Miaokong, each had a bigger background, carried story plots, and had cause and effect.
Therefore, those who were inexplicably attracted were also not ordinary people.
If it were anyone else trapped in this.
It would be almost impossible to figure everything out; it would be equivalent to breaking into a terrifying and strange unknown domain, having to complete tasks like "concealment," "finding people," and "solving puzzles" in a short time.
Even a Sequence 4 could not do it.
But Li Yu could steal laws to disguise himself, and at the same time possessed part of the power of the "Ancient and Modern Puppeteer."
Whether it was the Shuiyue Nunnery before the mutation or the current Shuiyue Nunnery, there were no obstacles for him.
While he was following his perception to find Sister Miaochang's whereabouts.
A casual glance at the scenes he saw along the way was enough to know the story behind them:
"Shuiyue Nunnery Elder Jingyi, cultivation realm Sequence 4, is one of the well-known Buddhist divine nuns in the Imperial Capital area."
"However, in her early years, she secretly became a Daoist partner with a disciple of the 【Demon-Swaying Sect】 and gave birth to a daughter. Later, the disciple died, and for some unspeakable reasons, Elder Jingyi secretly arranged for her daughter, Shen Shen Ruolan, to successfully join the Demon-Swaying Sect."
"Perhaps because of her father's inheritance, the girl showed extremely high cultivation talent, and shortly after reaching adulthood, she quickly promoted to Sequence 5 【Great Supernatural Power】."
"Originally, she did not know everything behind it!"
"Until two days ago, Shen Shen Ruolan inexplicably learned the truth."
"She rushed to the Shuiyue Nunnery under the stars and passed through the Pure Land Array without any obstruction to confront Elder Jingyi."
"Therefore, both mother and daughter were polluted."
"They are transforming toward a story that fits the Fallen Buddhism; Elder Elder Jingyi will be alienated into some kind of Mount Mount Fumu, and her daughter will be alienated into a powerful and fallen guardian deity."
"Another talented disciple of the Shuiyue Nunnery, Lady Miaoxiang, has a cultivation realm of Sequence 5; her fame is no less than Miaokong's, and even more resounding because of a special matter."
"Also traveling outside, she met a Daoist partner."
"The difference is that Lady Miaoxiang's Daoist partner is a woman, and her background is also extraordinary."
"She is a female general with great military achievements in the Li Kingdom, and also the Saintess Zhou Zhou Hongyu of the 【Red God Sect】, whose cultivation realm has reached Sequence 4 Seven-Kill General."
"Although this marriage was also opposed."
"But this time, the opponents were only from the Shuiyue Nunnery; the Red God Sect was very satisfied, even proud, that their Saintess did not mess with men but instead abducted a Buddhist holy nun back from the Gan Kingdom."
"Zhou Hongyu was originally leading troops in battle when she also inexplicably received some kind of premonition and rushed to the Shuiyue Nunnery under the stars."
"As soon as she entered, she discovered that Lady Miaoxiang had been polluted into a strange object of the Fallen Buddhism, 'Heavenly Desire Saintess,' which is actually a monster in the form of physical service."
"Once she is brought back to Wanfu City by the Immaculate Mount Mount Fumu in this form."
"Lady Miaoxiang's ending can be imagined."
"In order to let Lady Miaoxiang escape her doom, Zhou Zhou Hongyu had to merge with her; the two will be alienated together into another powerful strange object, 【Dual-Body Heavenly Maiden】. The benefit is that they will never be separated and can protect Lady Miaoxiang, but the price is that she is also trapped in it and cannot be freed."
These stories, and the scenes currently unfolding, opened Li Yu's eyes, and the Truth Bubble also gained energy.
In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh: as long as there are living beings, there will be the entanglement of desire and cause and effect, and even a Buddhist stronghold like the Shuiyue Nunnery cannot be an exception.
At the same time, he had to constantly suppress the urge to intervene.
Although it seemed that he could intervene and offer help in these scenes.
But in reality, once he really did so, the consequences would be uncontrollable.
Where does he not understand now?
Sister Miaochang!
In all likelihood, she was also chosen because of the obsession in her heart.
And the story derived from her, as well as the cause and effect, must have a part for him, Li Yu.
"It really is karmic retribution!"
"In order to trick the Jiao Qing puppet into letting me pass, he gave me a portion of the power of the 【Ancient and Modern Puppeteer】, and under the pretext of 'character depth,' told me about the entanglement between me, Qing Nü, and Sister Miaochang."
"Now, this part has actually been triggered into reality by the authority of the Master of the Curtain."
"If the story logic develops this way, could it be that 'Sister Qingnv' has also been caught in the crossfire, implicated by causality, and is inexplicably coming here..."
As these thoughts surfaced, Li Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
An ominous premonition was sensed by him.
And the premonition of a True Lord of Food-Qi is usually destined to become reality.
The next moment, a scene appeared that made Li Yu want to curse.
Behind him!
A bird's cry, full of spiritual energy and innate divinity, suddenly rang out.
Because of the intimate contact between Li Yu and Sister Qingnv in the "Shattered Realm of Immortal Qin" earlier, he was incomparably familiar with the aura of Sister Qingnv's body and soul.
So even though Li Yu did not turn his head, and even if it were merely based on the sound of this movement technique breaking through the air.
He immediately knew that the person arriving was indeed Sister Qingnv.
While remaining hidden, Li Yu turned around.
Sure enough, he saw Sister Qingnv again, with her extremely beautiful face and cold temperament, looking like an "ancient goddess," flying through the air.
As a goddess of the Earth Mother Sect and a chosen devotee of the two goddesses, the Earth Mother and the Spirit-Responding Primordial Sovereign, her cultivation realm had risen extremely fast.
If one were to look only at the intensity of her aura, it was not much different from Li Yu's current level.
Just as he saw Sister Qingnv approaching and hesitated whether to reveal himself to stop her.
As if triggered by this cry of the spiritual bird, a burst of extremely intense and terrifying Buddhist Qi erupted from deep within the Water Moon Nunnery.
Two voices suddenly spoke from the very depths:
One of the voices, even for Li Yu at this moment, made his heart and soul tremble uncontrollably after hearing it.
He did not need to look to know who it was.
The Immaculate Mount Mount Fumu!
Or rather, it was the avatar of the Immaculate Mount Mount Fumu descended upon the Water Moon Nunnery, having polluted and possessed the body of the Water Moon Abbess.
At this moment, She was saying in that extremely terrifying, delirious tone:
"Are you truly willing to offer up everything, just to obtain enough power to stand unrestrainedly beside your Ren Shou brother?"
"This disciple is willing."
"What if someone stands in your way?"
"This disciple shall employ lethal means."
"What if that person is your good friend, Sister Qingnv?"
"She shall also be killed."
As these words rang out.
Not only did the expression of Sister Qingnv, who was flying through the air, change drastically, nearly causing her to fall.
Li Yu, who was hidden in the shadows and about to break into the depths of the Buddha hall, could no longer suppress the urge to curse out loud.
In fact, he did not hold back; regardless of the fact that he was wearing the skin of a bystander, he cursed the Master of the Curtain directly in his heart:
"What is this?"
"A Shura field?"
"Is the Master of the Curtain not just a disgusting playwright, but also one without any creativity, who must make things this melodramatic?"
At this moment, Li Yu felt as if he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
Perhaps, if he hadn't used these things as excuses to deceive the Zuo Ci puppet.
The melodramatic story before his eyes would not have unfolded.
However, facing the combined authority of the Master of the Curtain and the Immaculate Mount Mount Fumu—two evil gods—if it were just Li Yu alone, he might still have had some power to resist.
But now, it was the little nun Miao Chang.
Her inner obsessions and desires were now clear at a glance: Miao Chang's status was not low, but her cultivation progress had always lagged a step behind Li Yu and Sister Qingnv.
Especially since the speed of Li Yu's cultivation growth was simply too fast.
Miao Chang longed to see Li Yu again.
But for the subsequent Strange Domain matching, Sister Qingnv was able to match, yet she lacked the qualifications.
After Sister Qingnv returned from the Shattered Realm of Immortal Qin and relayed Li Yu's situation and message, it did not dispel the obsession in Miao Chang's heart; instead, it became even more intense.
Of course, this in itself was nothing.
Once Li Yu arrived and met with her, it could have been resolved.
But the "Master of the Curtain" had intervened, and under the catalysis of His authority to distort reality and make everything dramatic and exaggerated, the scene before them occurred inevitably.
