Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Although the Buddha has cultivated the Bodhi of Enlightenment in the Bodhi Sutra and can see through other people's thoughts, he still cannot fully master the power of this technique when facing powerful Saints.

"Buddha, there is no time to lose, let's head to the Black Abyss as soon as possible."

Han Feng looked solemnly at the Buddha.

The Buddha clasped his hands together and nodded solemnly.

"Please follow me, gentlemen."

A moment later, the Buddha, along with the three others and several highly respected monks, set off towards the Black Abyss.

Along the way, the group hurried along, and when they arrived at the outside of the Eastern Black Abyss, the scene before them was shocking.

The area is now under martial law. The Black Abyss is like a lurking beast, constantly spewing out billowing demonic energy.

It may not be obvious from a distance, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the situation here is already showing signs of impending disaster.

The demonic energy blotted out the sky, turning the sky here into a dark black color. Even when the sun was blazing outside, this place was as if it had fallen into an endless abyss, without seeing any light.

When Hua Xianzi and Lingyun first saw this scene, both of them frowned.

Hua Xianzi's colorful robes fluttered in the demonic energy, her eyes filled with vigilance; Ling Yun, as the patriarch of the Spirit Clan, exuded the majesty of a superior and appeared somewhat calm, but she too felt apprehensive about this unknown and dangerous energy.

This energy was completely different from battle qi. The power of laws contained within it was like the uncreated chaos, profound and unfathomable. The two could only sense its deadly threat.

Han Feng's eyes were sharp as he quickly surveyed the area and decisively ordered, "There's no time to lose, begin setting up the formation immediately!"

He took out the array plate, transferred energy into it, and in the next instant, the array plate emitted a mysterious and profound aura.

Next, Han Feng listed out all the rare materials needed to set up the formation. Each material shimmered with a unique light, which slightly eased the oppressive atmosphere around him.

"Next, I would like to ask for your assistance."

Han Feng looked at Hua Xianzi and Ling Yun.

Lingyun and Fairy Hua exchanged a glance, and a tacit understanding arose between them as their eyes met.

The two moved gracefully and lightly into their designated positions within the formation, ready to work together to set up the array.

Before coming here, the two had already gotten to know each other through Han Feng's introduction on the way.

Although Ling Yun, as the patriarch of the Spirit Clan, held a high position and possessed the powerful cultivation of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, her status differed from that of Fairy Hua. However, their shared identity as friends of Han Feng naturally blurred the differences in their statuses, leading them to become closer.

At this moment, the two focused on setting up the formation, communicating the details with their soul power, and their cooperation became increasingly tacit.

Hua Xianzi's jade hands danced, her fighting spirit flowing like silk threads, intertwining with the spiritual energy mobilized by Ling Yun.

Han Feng and the Buddha Venerable provided full support from the sidelines.

Although the Buddha's cultivation level is not as high as the three of them, he can offer some suggestions and provide guidance on the arrangement of the formation thanks to his profound understanding of Buddhism and his extraordinary insight.

Han Feng then mobilized the energy of heaven and earth with all his might. His body shone brightly, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, building a stable energy transfer station that continuously supplied powerful energy to the formation, ensuring the stable construction of the formation.

Time passed quietly amidst the tense preparations. For three days and three nights, all four remained fully focused, without the slightest slackening.

Finally, with the exquisite cooperation of Fairy Hua and Lingyun, this ninth-grade orthodox technique, which embodies the hard work of everyone, was successfully completed.

"It's done."

Han Feng let out a long sigh, his voice tinged with exhaustion but unable to conceal his joy.

After saying that, he rose up from the ground and stomped his foot. A powerful force surged out from under his feet, propelling the entire formation to firmly cover the sky above the Black Abyss.

In an instant, the formation merged with the surrounding world, and countless mysterious patterns rapidly spread out from the formation, radiating a powerful force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

Hua Xianzi and Ling Yun landed lightly and carefully examined the formation, not overlooking any detail.

After confirming that everything was correct, the two returned to Han Feng's side and said in unison, "No problem."

Han Feng nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction: "This formation is incredibly powerful. Even with my strength, it would take a lot of effort and time to break it by force."

It's a pity that setting up the formation takes too long; otherwise, it would have been an unparalleled killing move to defeat the enemy in battle.

Generally speaking, such powerful formations are often set up in advance, and then the enemy is lured into a trap.

The Buddha gazed at the array that enveloped the Black Abyss, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Although the formation is complete, it only temporarily suppresses the demonic energy of the Black Abyss. The road ahead is still long and arduous.

Anyway, at least the current troubles have been resolved.

With this formation, as long as no unexpected event suddenly breaks out, Black Abyss can enjoy peace for at least a hundred years.

"Thanks to the help of the three benefactors, otherwise the Eastern Xuan Continent would have faced a great calamity."

The Buddha bowed respectfully to the three of them.

Even if he used the formation left by the Buddhist ancestors, he would still be unable to complete the formation on his own, let alone seal the Black Abyss.

Han Feng and his two companions received the greeting from the Buddhist Venerable. Han Feng then returned the greeting, saying, "Although the formation is complete, we will still need to rely on Buddhism for its maintenance in the future. The Black Abyss was originally a forbidden zone for the human race. Buddhism has protected this place for many years, which is already a great merit."

"This is the duty that our Buddhist sect should fulfill. Our ancestors made a great vow to guard the Black Abyss and prevent demons from harming the human world again. Although my cultivation as the abbot of the Buddhist sect is not very high now, I must fulfill this wish and do my best to protect the world and suppress demons."

The Buddha spoke with unwavering eyes.

Han Feng's arrival undoubtedly helped the Buddhist sect fill a major gap, and from now on, the Buddhist disciples only need to maintain the formation.

Of course, the Buddha was unaware that the riots of demons on the Dou Qi Continent were inextricably linked to Han Feng.

"Now that this matter is settled, we'll head back now. If you need anything, just let me know."

Han Feng said to the Buddha.

The Buddha nodded slowly, clasped his hands together, and watched the three people depart.

On the way back, Lingyun asked the question that had been on her mind: "Mr. Han Feng, that Black Abyss Land looks quite dangerous, what exactly is going on?"

Han Feng said solemnly, "Those are wounds left on the Dou Qi Continent during the ancient war, which have not been fully healed even after tens of thousands of years."

"However, these places are much better than before, but they have only shown signs of deterioration in recent years."

Lingyun looked thoughtful and said, "Speaking of which, my Ling Clan territory once had a similar place."

Han Feng raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Which place is Chief Lingyun referring to?"

"The Spirit Clan was once responsible for maintaining the stability of a remote area. That place gave me a special feeling. There was an energy inside that was very similar to demonic energy. However, those places were relatively stable, so there was no demonic energy outburst."

Lingyun explained.

Han Feng nodded.

"During the ancient war, it is said that there were many points where monsters invaded, but many places were also sealed. What remains now are just a few larger gaps."

"There's no need to be too nervous for now; the most urgent matter is the Central Plains Soul Palace."

Lingyun looked at Han Feng.

"The matter of the Soul Hall has caused quite a stir in Zhongzhou. How do you plan to resolve it now?"

Han Feng, in his capacity as the Azure Dragon, invited Ling Yun to come and told her that he was also an ally of the Soul Extermination Division, or at least a member of the resistance against the Soul Clan. Therefore, Ling Yun had a relatively friendly attitude towards Han Feng.

"The Starfall Pavilion is already organizing its forces, and war with the Soul Palace could break out at any time. However, the specific deployment routes and overall planning are still underway."

This battle will inevitably be very long, and once it begins, it will be an endless struggle.

The Starfall Pavilion needs to accumulate enough power to increase its chances of winning this battle.

After all, defeating the Soul Palace is no easy task for most forces.

Lingyun nodded.

"If needed, my Spirit Clan can lend a hand."

Lingyun already knew that most of the pills sent to Linghai City were made by Xingyun Pavilion.

After all, with a Medicine Saint in charge, the Starfall Pavilion is a high-yield producer of elixirs.

Besides the Pill Tower, the Starfall Pavilion is currently the strongest in terms of pills.

Since Fellow Daoist Qinglong and Mr. Han Feng have a deep relationship, there must be a supply exchange between them.

Han Feng smiled gently.

"Then I will thank Clan Chief Lingyun in advance."

After returning to Zhongzhou, the three split into two groups and went home separately.

After escorting Fairy Hua back to the Flower Sect, Han Feng said to her, "Elder Hua, the Flower Sect has formed an alliance with the Starfall Pavilion. I'm afraid the war in the Western Regions will require your leadership."

Fairy Hua nodded.

"I know. The sect has been preparing for this. As long as you issue any instructions, we will cooperate fully."

Han Feng nodded.

“Mr. Han, thank you so much for introducing me to the Spirit Clan Chief. I have learned a lot from her.”

Fairy Hua thanked Han Feng.

"I invited her under a different identity, thankfully you didn't expose me."

Han Feng smiled.

"what?"

Hua Xianzi's expression faltered slightly.

She didn't notice it at all.

"In the art of formations, everyone learns from each other. Following you two masters of formations, I feel that my own skills in formations are improving day by day."

Han Feng said this.

"If Mr. Han wants to learn, he will definitely make great progress in no time."

"Elder Hua, so you can use such polite words now?"

Han Feng said with a smile.

Hua Xianzi blushed slightly.

"What I said is just the truth."

After chatting with Fairy Hua for a while, the two parted ways in front of the Flower Sect and Han Feng returned to the Starfall Pavilion.

"Feng'er, it's just in time that you're back."

When Yao Chen saw Han Feng, he said to him, "The Central Continent Space Trade Fair has sent an invitation. Haven't you been paying attention to this?"

Has it been delivered yet?

Han Feng nodded.

He came back this time to ask the teacher about this matter, and judging by the time, it will be soon.

"The message personally delivered by Jianbaoshan also mentioned information about some important treasures at this space trade fair, including the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map that you are interested in."

Yao Chen looked at Han Feng, seemingly finally understanding why his disciple insisted on participating in this conference.

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is no ordinary flame; it is a powerful strange flame ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking. If you want to further enhance the "Burning Technique," it is definitely the best choice.

"The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is good, but its value is also extremely high. There may be many competitors at this auction, so I'll probably have to go all out this time."

Yao Chen said this.

Han Feng chuckled softly, "Compared to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, a small price is nothing. Besides... by the way, teacher, didn't Jianbaolou announce any major news at this auction?"

Han Feng asked.

Yao Chen's expression shifted slightly: "Hey, kid, you actually got the question right. But how did you know?"

Han Feng smiled without saying a word. Yao Chen shook his head helplessly, "It's said that they will announce some extremely shocking news at this space trade fair. For them to consider it major news, this matter is probably not simple."

Yao Chen sighed, "This space trading fair is a super auction jointly organized by the top hidden forces in Zhongzhou, such as Jianbaoshan, Kongxuanmen, and Dixingzong."

If even they consider this shocking news, it might truly cause a major upheaval in Zhongzhou.

Han Feng thought to himself that the time was almost up.

The reason he was so eager to know this news was that while the matter of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was important, the news of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's emergence was even more crucial.

He needed to find the Bodhi Tree in advance and become its ally so that he could have a powerful purifying assistant when the extraterrestrial evil forces invaded in the future. Moreover, he was also curious about the secrets the Bodhi Tree knew from tens of thousands of years ago.

If many people knew about the emergence of the Bodhi tree in advance, then this matter would not have been accomplished so easily and quietly.

"By the way, teacher, did you tell your junior brother he's back? Hasn't he always wanted to see the world?"

Han Feng said.
