Chance and coincidence always depend on one's own ability. Yun Xian's success only proves that there are indeed enough possibilities at the bottom of the lake. This also means that anyone who goes there is qualified to participate in the competition, and she, Lu Zhaozhao, is no exception.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Zhaozhao set off for East Lake.

Along the way, Lu Zhaozhao only pondered two issues: how to achieve first place in Longji, a place filled with so many experts and even with Yunxian in charge, and the other was the scroll of martial arts that Ying Che had asked someone to bring her before he left the mountain.

As he had said, this technique was truly powerful, describing a method that could significantly increase one's strength in a short period of time. This type of technique, which provided a short-term boost in strength, was not uncommon, but this technique was unique in that, unlike other techniques that quickly entered a period of fatigue after increasing their strength, it did not cause significant backlash damage to the caster, and the aftereffects did not appear immediately.

Lu Zhaozhao stroked the yellowed scroll with his fingertips, seeming to be lost in thought.

This set of skills was given by Master Yunxian to Senior Brother Ying Che. It was because Ying Che had some disagreements with her these past few days that he brought this set of skills as an apology.

However, forced amplification techniques are not popular in large sects. Firstly, this type of technique is more harmful than beneficial. Although this volume of techniques has resolved most of the crises in this regard, there are still follow-up reactions. Secondly, most of those who use this short-term method to improve their cultivation are independent cultivators who are wandering around the world. They may face danger at any time, but the disciples of large sects are protected by their masters and have never needed these things.

Similarly, Ying Che is very powerful and has few rivals among his peers. But now his master Yun Xian has passed this skill to him. It can only be possible that he wants him to face a senior who is stronger and more experienced than him.

"Who could it be?" Lu Zhaozhao couldn't figure it out, but she knew that in places she didn't know, the situation seemed to have become more serious and complicated.

Fortunately, Ying Che should have mastered this technique thoroughly, and the dense annotations on it made it particularly easy for Lu Zhaozhao to read.

While practicing and traveling, on the last night before arriving at East Lake, Lu Zhaozhao finally saw the last part.

"This scroll is titled The Secret of No Form. Infinite meanings arise from one Dharma. This one Dharma is no form."

This one sentence at the end of the volume made Lu Zhaozhao's hands tremble slightly.

It is obvious that the origin of this scroll is not from the public world of cultivation. In other words, it is not the same as the "Tao" they practice.

This is a Zen scroll!

Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath and stared at the last sentence.

Buddhism believes that there are ten aspects of things in the world, but there is no such aspect, so it is called aspectless. It means to get rid of the worldly aspects and recognize the true reality.

The scroll in her hand was likely only a fragment; the rest might be in Yun Xian's possession, or perhaps he only had this one. But what Lu Zhaozhao knew for sure was that the technique it contained must be profound and profound. To achieve formlessness, one must first recognize the ten forms, so she deduced that this scroll must contain at least ten more parts!

Lu Zhaozhao bit his lower lip and fell into deep thought.

After emerging from the back mountain, she had spent the last few days in the library cramming for the history surrounding that period. Zen Buddhism, a mysterious sect that had briefly flourished a thousand years ago before vanishing from the history of orthodox cultivation, now reappeared before her eyes.

She knew in her heart that Yun Xian, or everyone in the contemporary cultivation world, had no direct connection with the conflict a thousand years ago, but this sect that retreated to the Northern Territory reappeared, and related things recorded in the destroyed historical materials appeared before her eyes again and again, making her wonder whether this was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.

Donghu Lake is right in front of her. In these days, she has also roughly learned the Wuxiang Jue. If she uses it forcefully, she may not be able to defeat it even if she is in the Out-of-Body Stage.

This place is very close to East Lake, and the powerful people from various sects are resting around here. Therefore, she cannot send out her spiritual sense to sense the road ahead. She can only rest here for a while and wait for tomorrow to make a decision.

Just as she was about to rest, she suddenly heard the sound of grass leaves rubbing against each other.

It was only for a moment, but she heard it clearly!

If there is no wind, then it can only be a living thing.

The sword was unsheathed, and Lu Zhaozhao listened attentively. For a moment, the only sounds in the world were her breathing and heartbeat.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the other side. Without hesitation, she slashed with her sword, stirring up a storm. The grass in front of her, as tall as a person, was neatly cut off, stretching for dozens of meters.

The sword energy swept across the cleared space, and naturally, the hidden and troublesome things had nowhere to hide.

"Raccoon slave?"

Lu Zhaozhao was a little surprised.

Donghu Lake is located in a remote area. Suddenly, a pure white raccoon appeared in the wilderness. Could it be the spiritual beast of the lake?

Lu Zhaozhao thought about it and walked forward to check.

The raccoon looked frightened and stood there motionless. Lu Zhaozhao picked it up and checked it over and over again, but could not sense any spiritual power at all.

"How is that possible? Even if you're not a local spirit beast, you must be raised by a cultivator. How could you not have any spiritual power at all?"

While Lu Zhaozhao was puzzled, the raccoon slave seemed to react. He cried out, jumped out of her arms, and ran away.

Lu Zhaozhao squinted his eyes and looked at the direction it left, then kept a distance and followed it.

After turning several corners, she and the raccoon slave arrived at a spacious open space.

The surroundings seemed to have been specially cleaned, and the rest tents were neatly arranged, and the arrangement seemed to have a special meaning.

This specification seems to be something that only a large sect can possess.

Lu Zhaozhao stood behind a tree in the distance and observed quietly.

The raccoon slave disappeared into the tent, leaving only the patrolling disciples and the burning torches visible in the darkness.

After looking for a while and finding nothing, Lu Zhaozhao felt relieved.

The reason she chased after it was because she was worried that this raccoon was deliberately released to investigate the situation, but now it seems that it is really just an ordinary raccoon, and she finally felt relieved.

She turned around and went back to rest.

There were too many sects stationed nearby, and they all had more or less grudges against each other. She didn't want too many people to know about her trip, so she didn't plan to get too close to here.

Just before she took a step, there was movement in the tent behind her.

"I am deeply grateful for your help, Immortal. I will report this to my master in detail upon returning to the academy, and we will continue the friendship between our two sects."

A tall man spoke respectfully to another man beside him. The other man was standing in the shadows. He seemed quite aloof and didn't say much. Lu Zhaozhao couldn't see his true face.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, it seemed like it was time to say goodbye. The two of them slowly walked out. The first person that caught Lu Zhaozhao's eye was the man who spoke at the beginning. He took a few steps closer, and Lu Zhaozhao finally saw his appearance clearly.
