Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Well, since you've already entered Buddhism, I don't have anything to say. When you get out of here, remember to contact Brother Xiao Jin..."

Yuwen Yundan hesitated and asked, "True Lord... can we still get out of here?"

Snapped--

Jing Yu flicked Yu Wenyundan's head again and said calmly, "What did you call me?"

"Really...uncle." Yuwen Yundan touched his swollen forehead and grinned, "Uncle, how long have you been here? Qiu Xuandong has been a formidable figure in our Futu Immortal Continent over the years. I wonder how many Yuanying Zen Lords and Jindan Masters he has devoured..."

"No Buddhist cultivator who was devoured survived. Many Buddhist cultivators say that even a great Zen master wouldn't survive for more than a quarter of an hour after entering Qiu Xuandong's belly."

"I never thought there was another world inside this cave, but I don't think there's any danger here. What about those Zen masters who were swallowed? Why is my uncle the only one here?"

Jing Yu subconsciously rubbed his belly and rolled his eyes. "The rumors outside aren't groundless. This place is extremely dangerous. They say even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage wouldn't be able to survive for even a moment. That's not entirely wrong... Unless you're a Great True Lord who has mastered the [Law of Earth], you might not be able to hold out for more than ten days or half a month."

Yuwen Yundan was a little confused, but Jing Yu said meaningfully, "You'll understand soon..."

A day passed, and no new "food" appeared in the cave. Yuwen Yundan was feeling bored when Jing Yu placed a hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"coming soon."

"what?"

Before Yuwen Yundan could react, he suddenly saw a large amount of mysterious yellow energy oozing out of the cave wall and rushing towards them!

"The mysterious energy! The means of law!"

Yuwen Yundan was horrified when he saw this. He was obviously an expert and was naturally familiar with the famous [Xuanhuang Qi] in front of him!

Just when he thought he had no chance of survival this time, a gray Dharma light enveloped him. No matter how the Xuanhuang Qi washed and oppressed him, this thin layer of Dharma light was extremely resilient and swallowed up and consumed the Xuanhuang Qi that touched it.

After a full half hour, the omnipresent dark yellow aura gradually faded away, and when Yuwen Yundan looked at Jing Yu, there was only shock and numbness in his eyes!

Seeing the old friend's son acting like this, Jing Yu couldn't help but feel a little pleased with himself, and said leisurely:

"You're lucky, kid... It just so happens that your uncle has made a breakthrough in his magical power of light, and has also mastered the principles of earth. It has become much easier for me to deal with the Xuanhuang energy, which is why I can protect you and help you get through this safely."

"If you had come in a few months earlier, I would have only been able to protect myself, and you would have been dead."

Yuwen Yundan was horrified. "Even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage wouldn't be able to withstand the profound yellow energy of the Divine Transformation level for long! And yet Uncle Xuan Jing blocked it so easily, even having enough energy to protect others... Just how far has his cultivation reached?"

After the mysterious and yellow aura faded away, the [Mushroom People] and [Crystal Worms] in Qiu Xuandong's body all appeared and cleaned up and devoured the corpses and debris that had not been digested for some time.

When the [Crystal Bug] spit out crystals one by one, Jing Yu secretly took away about 4 to 5 percent of it as usual, took one of the spiritual crystals, and handed it to Yu Wen Yundan.

"Here, this is a top-grade Qi-training medicine. After taking and refining it, it will help you improve your cultivation."

Yuwen Yundan was horrified. He had just clearly seen a [Mushroom Man] pick up a skull from the cave, and after several processes, pass it to the [Crystal Worm], and only then was this crystal stone refined!

"Uncle, this... this is..."

Jing Yu said quietly, "This is the transformation of the many Zen masters who were swallowed into Qiu Xuandong's belly..."

"Then...that means..." Yuwen Yundan stuttered.

"eat human?"

Jing Yu shook his head. "Qiu Xuan Cave has devoured countless Buddhist cultivators over the past hundred years, and their cultivation has advanced rapidly. We survivors must catch up. Practicing here is a race against time... If you don't eat, you will become a pile of fertilizer like these dead Buddhist cultivators."

"As the saying goes, in an emergency, one must take the necessary measures. If we can escape from this predicament and kill that old glutton Qiu Xuandong, we will save countless lives that are about to be eaten, and atone for our sins."

Yuwen Yundan felt a chill run down his spine. "I...I...we monks are vegetarians, so we really can't eat meat."

"Oh?"

Jing Yukudu's profound light was activated, and he instantly swept over a [Mushroom Man] that hadn't had time to leave, and held it in his hand:

"Would you like to eat mushrooms? They taste good and are also beneficial for cultivation. They are also a standard vegetarian dish."

Yuwen Yundan was at a loss for words. "Mushrooms are spiritual, how can they be considered vegetarian dishes?... Uncle, you've made such a big fuss, aren't you afraid that Qiu Xuandong will find out?"

Jing Yu didn't take it seriously: "I've lived here for nearly a hundred years, so how could there be any rules that I haven't figured out?"

"This mushroom man is a companion creature in Qiu Xuandong's inner world, just like the bacteria in our bodies, countless of them are born and die every day. How could they be discovered if one or two were missing?"

"Besides, my uncle is very good at hiding himself. If I acted deliberately, even if I was standing in front of Qiu Xuandong, this lunatic wouldn't be able to detect my presence, not to mention that I'm in the inner world and can't see inside all the time."

Yuwen Yundan asked, "Then how did you, Uncle, get swallowed by Qiu Xuandong?"

Jing Yu: “…”

Yuwen Yundan is the only surviving descendant of Yuwen Xiaojin after all, and Jing Yu cannot sit idly by and watch him die like this, so whenever the Xuanhuang Qi invades, he protects him with [Ku Du Xuan Guang]... Fortunately, he is no longer the same as before, and he does not feel any effort. Instead, when protecting one person and dealing with the Xuanhuang Qi, he has a deeper understanding of the law of earth.

Five days passed, and a quarter of an hour before the next leakage of the Xuanhuang Qi, two Jindan Buddhist cultivators fell into the cave. Yuwen Yundan was about to greet them, but was stopped by Jing Yu in an instant and sealed up. The Ku Du Xuan Guang enveloped them, hiding them perfectly.

So Yuwen Yundan could only watch as the two men turned into powder in an instant under the Xuanhuang Qi. The gap in cultivation between the Golden Core Master and the God Transformation Lord was so huge that the two did not even leave behind their corpses.

"Buddha-honored One... sins, sins..."

Yuwen Yundan lowered his head, unable to bear to watch any longer, and just recited scriptures and chanted Buddha's name, chanting the Buddha's mantra for rebirth for the two of them.

"What? You think I shouldn't just sit back and do nothing?" Jing Yu said indifferently.

Yuwen Yundan paused after stopping his chanting and said, "Uncle will make his own decision... Besides, you have no relationship with these two people, but... but... after all, they are two innocent people."

"Innocent?" Jing Yu shook his head. "These ancient monks, driven by incense and vows, have institutionalized living beings without restraint, forcing others to believe in them and thus keeping the mortals captive. They've turned a perfectly good Buddhist island into this state. How can they be innocent?"

"I've already given them a break by not stepping forward to add another ray of profound light."
