Mortal Mirror

On a mountain shrouded in clouds, stood a small temple. On the stone tablet in front of the temple, three large characters were clearly written… Prajna Temple.

Beside the three large characters were two lines of smaller text… Last night, the wind and rain passed; how many flowers fell, who knows?

Following the stone steps beside the tablet, one entered the temple and saw a Bodhi tree planted in the courtyard. Beneath the Bodhi tree, three people sat cross-legged, facing each other.

They were Yinian, Jing'er, and Mei'er.

Now, the two women were even more charming and moving than before, yet they also possessed an indescribable Buddhist aura.

Yinian looked at the two and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Good, good. Mei'er has already abandoned external forces. From now on, you will possess your own true form. Thus, you no longer need to fear being exposed."

Mei'er said happily, "I must thank you, Yinian. If you hadn't taught me the Buddhist methods, allowing me to become a Buddhist fox, perhaps even after several decades, I still wouldn't have been able to truly transform into a human."

Jing'er also said, "Yes, it's truly unimaginable that we ghosts could also become Buddhas. When I become a Ghost Buddha, I wonder if the young master will be greatly surprised."

The two women smiled at each other, extremely charming.

I wanted to go search for it years ago, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Now that we have the time, let's go together."

The two women nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we'll listen to you."

Li Ergou, along with Ye Wanwan, Jiutian, and Ye Min, traveled day and night, finally returning to Fish City after ten days. The people of Fish City were overjoyed when they learned of the honors Li Ergou had received.

Alas, Li Ergou couldn't escape the ways of the world and had to constantly socialize, which took him seven or eight days.

Li Ergou was determined to leave and informed the Prefect and the Commandant about his intention to join the Divine Dragon Hall. Both were shocked by Li Ergou's words.

The Divine Dragon Hall was a legendary existence even in the ears of those important figures.

What could the two say? People strive for higher positions, and water flows to lower ground. In fact, when Li Ergou won first place in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, the two knew that Li Ergou was no ordinary person and Fish City couldn't contain him.

They just didn't expect Li Ergou to soar so high, directly heading to such a powerful place. Thus, the two became even more caring towards Li Ergou, showering him with concern.

In the following time, Li Ergou considered his options. He planned to deal with all the chickens on Orange Mountain. After all, so many chickens consumed too much, and he didn't know what the situation was like in the capital.

It would be good if he could buy a mountain there, but if he couldn't buy a suitable mountain, these chickens would become a burden.

However, this trip had opened up a path to wealth for him, which was to sell these chickens as mounts. They were worth a lot of money, allowing him to make a hefty profit. It was a pity that Mei'er and Jing'er were no longer around.

He could only entrust the matter to Xiaoxiao. Although this girl was young, she was very clever. During his absence, she and his second uncle had managed Orange Mountain in an orderly manner.

He instructed her to do this, along with Ye Wanwan and Ye Min.

As for Jiutian, this guy was a demon, with high cultivation and strong combat power. He just didn't know why he insisted on following him.

Fortunately, this guy wasn't stupid and volunteered to help. Li Ergou let him do as he pleased.

Li Ergou then went to Yellow Maple Valley. He hadn't returned for many days, and the Five Ghosts immediately came out to greet him upon his arrival.

After not seeing them for many days, Li Ergou saw that the Five Ghosts' cultivation had improved greatly. They had all reached the peak of Great Ghost strength, equivalent to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage for humans.

Their cultivation speed was so fast, likely due to his frequent cultivation of the Burial Sutra here, which greatly connected to the Netherworld.

However, even so, Li Ergou felt that their cultivation speed was still too slow and not very useful.

The only good thing was that the ghosts were extremely loyal to him, which was a small comfort.

When the Tree Demon saw Li Ergou, it also wore a cheap, flattering look, showering Li Ergou with praises. Then, it obediently went to guard the gate of Yellow Maple Valley.

In fact, the Tree Demon was clever and knew how to handle matters, mainly because it knew how to flatter people, saying things that made people feel comfortable. He was considering whether to ask it if it wanted to leave with him.

However, he still had many things to do now, so this matter wasn't urgent. He could talk about it when he left.

Li Ergou had many things to deal with now, after all, this trip to the Mountain and Sea Realm had brought him a lot of gains.

First, he had to refine the armor and magic treasures given to him by the Mountain and Sea Giant. Second, he had to deal with the big snake he had captured from the Sheepskin Cave.

He didn't know if the big snake was dead or not. It also had an egg, which was left behind after the pangolin died.

There was also a Celestial Burial Pill, and he didn't know how to use it.

As for the golden wings, he had seen the flying artifact on the Mountain and Sea Giant's gatekeeper and always wanted to refine one himself. If possible, he wanted to use the wings of that alien to refine it.

Most importantly, he had to thoroughly investigate the Azure Heaven Qi. The Azure Heaven Qi that had condensed in his arm in the Divine Pool had completely merged into his bloodline. He was very worried about this and didn't know if it would cause him some unspeakable harm.

Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to thoroughly investigate the Azure Heaven Qi and find out what was going on and how it would affect him in the future.

He came to his usual place of cultivation, took out the coffin, and released the Golden Buddha beside him to suppress his demonic thoughts.

Then, with a thought, he began to investigate.

This investigation scared him enough. It turned out that the Azure Heaven Qi had widened his meridians by half, and half of the space was used to contain itself.

All the Azure Heaven Qi flowed like a liquid in his meridians, each going its own way with the spiritual Qi, without any conflict.

Seeing this scene, Li Ergou not only didn't feel happy, but his expression became even more serious. This Azure Heaven Qi was clearly just a strange gas, but it could actually allow itself to exist. This was very strange.

He was really afraid of creating another Blood Linglong. After all, he hadn't figured out his second incarnation yet. If another problem arose, would he still be himself?

With a thought, he rushed into the Azure Heaven Qi. He wanted to understand what kind of power was hidden in this gas.

The moment he merged with the Azure Heaven Qi, he suddenly felt a bright light in front of him.

Then, he seemed to have entered a river of light that was all azure.
