Chapter 132: Do You Only Have This Much Ability?

The monk was in his early thirties. Below the black lotus embroidery on his sleeves and chest, his dharma name "Huijie" was embroidered, and below the name were five black lotuses representing his rank.

Judging from the color and richness of these five black lotuses, the monk Huijie should be a Fifth Rank, Third Stage.

"This is... a special place?"

Huijie's low voice was filled with pleasant surprise. However, he was not in a hurry to enter the dilapidated and desolate temple before him. Instead, he observed for a while, and only after confirming there was no danger did he walk in.

Soon, Huijie discovered the "Small Confinement Array" at the back of the temple. After sensing it and confirming the power of this array, he looked at the dense fog of the array with some unwillingness.

With his strength, breaking the array would not be easy.

But behind this array, there might be a special place for epiphany. He paced back and forth, unwilling to leave.

Huijie lingered in the dilapidated temple for an hour or two, almost turning everything here upside down, but he didn't find anything useful.

Even though he was unwilling, he finally left.

When Huijie entered the temple and touched the "Small Confinement Array," Lu Fang perceived it immediately. However, he only knew that someone had come in, but he didn't know who the other party was or what their rank was.

He was somewhat glad that he had set up the "Small Confinement Array" around the archway earlier.

Otherwise, if the person who came in had been a Fourth Rank, Third Stage person, entering the archway would have been absolutely disastrous for him.

The "Small Confinement Array" was a Fourth-Rank array treasure. Because of the complexity and profundity of the array, even if the other party were a Fourth Rank, Third Stage, they would be unable to break it if they were not proficient in array techniques.

Moreover, in this place, the appearance of such an array would not make anyone want to take the risk of entering.

After this, others touched the "Small Confinement Array," but none of them rashly broke the array to enter.

Lu Fang was a little worried at first, but later he let nature take its course, focusing on cultivating on the lotus platform. During this period, he also discovered that there were colorful fish in the pond, all of which contained the aura of the Ten Thousand Dao Stones.

Not only was the meat delicious to eat, but it was also a rare and highly nourishing item, which had unexpected benefits for cultivation and entering an epiphany to improve one's realm.

The speed at which these spirit fish swam in the water was astonishingly fast. Fortunately, they had no attack ability and were full of curiosity about everything.

This also allowed Lu Fang to use a bamboo pole to catch a few spirit fish to satisfy his hunger. The effect of consuming spirit fish and then cultivating was far better than imagined, and soon he entered the mysterious state of epiphany again.

With a soft pop!

Haoran Zhengqi surged out, condensing into cyan clouds and transforming into various visions, merging into Lu Fang's body.

The further one went in cultivation, the slower the improvement; this was indisputable.

But cultivating on the lotus platform, without consuming Book Fragrance Qi, Lu Fang just ate a few spirit fish and successfully entered the Sixth Rank, Second Stage.

One had to know that only three days had passed.

The special place in the trial grounds really had unexpected effects on improving and breaking through realms. If he could, he really intended to cultivate here the whole time.

But soon he discovered something was wrong. The previous three epiphanies were very easy, and he had entered that state without knowing it.

But afterward, he was unable to enter that state at all.

Although the Ten Thousand Dao aura here was very rich, the progress of his cultivation was only a little faster.

Although he was confident, he had to admit that he had no talent for array techniques. Zhao Qingzhu couldn't crack the array here, so he guessed that even if he learned it now, it would be useless.

This also let Lu Fang know that wanting to improve his realm to a very high level all at once in this place was completely unrealistic.

He simply stopped cultivating and started fishing for spirit fish.

These spirit fish were extra easy to catch using the exotic beast meat in his storage bag. He wasn't greedy either; he released all the small spirit fish he caught from the pond and only smoked and roasted a few hundred large spirit fish.

Afterward, Lu Fang searched the pond carefully, found no other useful things, took down the array, and walked out of the archway.

This special place was indeed very good, but unfortunately, it had certain limitations. Otherwise, if he could improve to a certain realm here before going out, he would be more confident.

Lu Fang left the temple, identified the direction slightly, and left.

In a vast desert area.

"Is Little Martial Uncle in this direction?"

Li Yu, in white robes, stood on the wind, looking into the distance.

Even though Lu Fang had said several times that she didn't need to worry about him, she was still somewhat worried. After all, his realm was the lowest here.

If the two of them could be together, it could greatly guarantee Lu Fang's safety.

Originally, Li Yu also intended to listen to Lu Fang, but after entering the trial grounds, she encountered an evil monk from the Black Lotus Sect. After a fight, she still couldn't feel at ease about him.

Anyway, there was still time, so she decided to find Lu Fang first.

"Female benefactor, a Fifth Rank, Third Stage female scholar, that is truly rare. I imagine your luck is not small."

Following this sentence, a monk from the Black Lotus Sect appeared in the distance.

Li Yu frowned. She perceived that the other party was a Fifth Rank, Third Stage, not the Fourth Rank, Third Stage evil monk who had chased her before, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This monk from the Black Lotus Sect was none other than Huijie, who had entered the temple before and touched the "Small Confinement Array."

The malice in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest.

Li Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, without any fear, and said, "Your Black Lotus Sect is truly hard to like. Honestly, I don't intend to seize anyone's luck, but for an evil monk like you, I will kill one every time I meet one."

The monk Huijie's mouth curled slightly, and he pressed his hands together:

"I have long heard that the Confucianism of Great Zhou is very powerful. It would be a pity if we didn't spar today, now that we have the chance to meet."

Without any warning, Huijie's whole body radiated black lotus-braided Buddha patterns, shrouding a certain area centered on him and Li Yu, forming a Buddha light barrier.

Huijie revealed a confident smile on his face and walked slowly toward Li Yu, saying, "You probably didn't expect that I could condense a barrier, did you? In a situation where strength is not much different in the same realm, I indeed couldn't do anything to you, but it's different now that there is a barrier."

Li Yu stood there motionless, smiling but not smiling, and said, "Oh, is that so? Then you can come and try."

As soon as the words fell,

the sound of Huijie chanting Buddhist scriptures rang out, and black lotuses appeared and disappeared in the field. Suddenly, with a boom! The black lotus mark in front of Li Yu exploded the moment it appeared.

Powerful energy collided, ripples of aftermath spread out, and the wind and sand were swept up. For a time, one couldn't see Li Yu at the center of the explosion.

"Do you only have this much ability?"

Li Yu walked out of the explosion area with ease. ===== CHAPTER 133 =====
