All Heavens: Becoming a Saint Begins in Deep Space

Old Chen said, "Decades ago, people from Xinxing were excavating various relics, ancient temples, and Taoist monasteries in various parts of Laotu. The Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries in Laotu now are just newly built by the tycoons later."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan finally understood why this ancient temple, which had been around for a thousand years, only retained this few mysterious elements.

The old land has been emptied out; everything Wang Xuan desires is now in Xinxing!

After chatting for a while, Wang Xuan turned and left with Wang Li. On the way away, Wang Xuan thought of the scene that the Ghost Monk had demonstrated in the inner realm, where Bodhisattvas and Arhats rose from the ground and rushed into the depths of the starry sky.

It turns out the temple had been moved.

Today is Sunday. Wang Li drove to the city center to buy some things to put in the dashboard space, while Wang Xuan said he wanted to go out for a stroll.

They parted ways, saying they would contact each other by phone if needed.

Bring up the panel.

Name: Wang Li

Age: 20

[Cultivation Level: Below Grandmaster]

[Portable Space: Nine Cubic Meters]

[Remaining Anchor Point Uses: 1 (Overworld Only)]

[Number of trips to other worlds: 1 (The world you will travel to is unknown; please choose carefully.)]

The word "be cautious" about time travel made me hesitant to travel until I reached the Grandmaster level. Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. After arriving at the supermarket and putting the things I needed into my personal space, I decided to go.

I asked Wang Xuan to send me his location so I could go find him.

Wang Li rushed over and, not far from Wang Xuan, found that Old Chen was also there, along with Wu Yin. Next to Wu Yin was a middle-aged man with a strong presence and a very imposing manner.

Seeing Wu Yin accidentally fall into the water, he reached into his backpack, took out a camera, and found a tricky angle to record the scene. In the photo, Wang Xuan is very close to Wu Yin.

Wang Li was surprised. The place where they separated was far from Yunhu, but Wang Xuan still went to Yunhu. Looking at the scene in front of him, it seemed that he had returned to the original storyline.

Wang Xuan also saw Wang Li, smiled and jogged over, then asked Wang Li where the car was parked so that he could leave quickly, leaving Lao Chen to handle those matters alone.

……

The following day, Monday.

Wang Li and Wang Xuan arrived early.

Wang Li's peaceful life was coming to an end, and he chatted and boasted with his colleagues, taking the opportunity to look at them properly in the remaining time they had.

Old Chen also arrived, looking radiant and full of energy.

A colleague joked, "Old Chen, long time no see! How's your study of the I Ching going?"

"I gave up that book a long time ago," Old Chen replied readily. Then he called Wang Xuan and Wang Li out to have a chat.

"I'm at work," Wang Xuan replied as he came out.

"It's alright, I'll give you all a long vacation. Take a good rest these days." Old Chen displayed his leadership demeanor with great ease.

Wang Xuan looked thoughtful and asked Wang Li, "Do you think we should go to Rising Star right now?"

Wang Li shook his head and said, "Let's wait a bit longer. Now is not the time to go. Besides, some people don't want us to go to the new star and want to keep us in the old land."

Wang Xuan had long known about his younger brother; sometimes he was a bit eccentric, but his words were always accurate.

"Okay, then we'll listen to you and not go to Xinxing for now. But Lao Chen, you guys can try to see if anyone is stopping us from going to Xinxing." Wang Xuan listened to Wang Li's words wholeheartedly.

Old Chen looked at Wang Li suspiciously, his face full of disbelief: "Really? Okay, I'll have someone arrange it and see."

After all, this kid had a lot to say, and then confidently said, "Even if someone doesn't want you to go, we can still get you there. Don't underestimate our strength."

Wang Xuan looked at Old Chen. Some time ago, this old man wanted to send them over there, and now he's saying this again, so he must have ill intentions.

His behavior at Yunhu, and his apparent lack of interaction with Wu Yin and the others, suggests he might be planning to betray them.

"Old Chen, are you planning to dig up some magic herbs? No way, we absolutely won't participate in this operation," Wang Xuan flatly refused.

Old Chen chuckled and said, "What are you thinking? No, this operation isn't dangerous at all. You have to trust me."

"Old Chen, let me make this clear first: don't even think about selling us to the Wu family. Otherwise, even if we pass on the Ascension Technique to you, you'll still die a horrible death," Wang Xuan joked.

Old Chen was naturally willing to listen, but he still added, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate me. I have a lot of authority in the field of ancient arts, and I deserve their solemn invitation."

They now realize that some problems can only be solved by those who rely on traditional methods.

Wang Xuan looked incredulous. He seriously doubted whether it was true or not. Was Old Chen really that powerful?

By this time, they had arrived at the abandoned machinery factory behind the design institute.

"See that big gear over there? I smashed a lot of those machines when I was young," Old Chen said, pointing to a pile of abandoned machinery.

At this point, he walked over to a steel plate that was over ten centimeters thick, patted it gently with his hand, and said in a very pretentious manner, "I haven't taken action for many years."

Then he urged Wang Li and the others to teach him the immortal techniques. They had no intention of being perfunctory. Wang Li and Wang Xuan demonstrated it once. As for how the five internal organs vibrated, they could only explain it in words.

Old Chen, being an expert, exclaimed in amazement, "Impressive! It looks like the Vajra Fist, but it's definitely not. Some of its techniques are worth practicing for me."

Wang Li and the others only taught him one move, telling him they would complete the remaining moves tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow." Old Chen nodded and left excitedly.

Wang Li and the others exchanged a glance. Their meaning was that the old monk would go back to find you tonight and complete the remaining moves. It was unclear whether Old Chen understood what they meant.

After Old Chen left, Wang Li ran to the steel plate with a heart full of joy, patted it twice, and thought to himself, "Old Chen is indeed Old Chen, his strength is truly profound."

When Wang Xuan came over to check, he gasped in shock. He was astonished that Old Chen was so monstrous.

"I'll have to be nicer to Old Chen next time, or he might hold a grudge against me," Wang Xuan sighed.

That evening, Wang Li and Wang Xuan returned home and began whispering among themselves, telling the old monk that Old Chen often went to Xinxing and could help them resolve their wishes.

Sure enough, the next morning, Old Chen came over, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "I demanded to know why they tried to harm me. I just sent one away, and now they've sent another wicked monk. What do you mean by this? I haven't even had a chance to catch up on my sleep, and it's already starting again."

Wang Li asked in surprise, "Didn't he teach you that kind of boxing technique?"

Old Chen said indignantly, "What is there to teach? He sat on the edge of my bed and stared at me all night. His gray eyes even smelled of decay. He's not even as good as the last fairy. At least she kept her distance and was stunningly beautiful. He didn't say anything and just stared at me."

Given Old Chen's extraordinary strength, Wang Xuan and the others each recounted their experiences. Before Old Chen left, Wang Li specifically mentioned that the master Old Chen was from Pufa Temple.

Pufa Temple belongs to the Chan (Zen) school of Buddhism, which emphasizes the concept of "Buddha is in the mind itself, and enlightenment comes from seeing one's true nature." It teaches that one should act with sincerity and avoid being driven by ulterior motives.

Old Chen was suddenly taken aback and exclaimed, "I never thought that I, Old Chen, would one day sincerely worship Buddha."

Listening to Wang Li's words, Old Chen resolved to confront the ghost monk tonight and empty the scriptures from his body.

Old Chen was indeed no ordinary person; he got what he wanted that very night.
