The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Reporting to your Excellency, I have brought it."

Fang Heng took out a dark yellow book from his sleeve, handed it to Chu Xiu, and said.

Chu Xiu took the manual containing the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Knife Technique and began to read it.

After a while.

"Impressive! This Ananda Breaking the Precepts Sword Technique is indeed extraordinary!"

Chu Xiu's face showed amazement. He threw the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Sword Technique back to Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, build an armory in our Northern Garrison Office."

All the martial arts techniques obtained from the Seven Killings Organization and the Great Buddha Temple were put into the armory.

According to their grade, ordinary martial arts techniques are placed on the first floor of the armory.

The ultimate skill level is placed on the second floor.

The higher-end items are on the third floor.

With his current skill in swordsmanship, it would not be difficult for him to grasp the true meaning of Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Sword Technique.

With just a glance, he used several perfect-level peerless sword techniques to bring his Ananda Breaking the Precepts Sword Technique to a minor level of mastery.

With just a little contemplation, one can reach a state of great mastery, or even perfection.

Chu Xiu's Immortal-Slaying Sword Technique requires the integration of various sword techniques.

The more sword techniques incorporated, the stronger the Immortal-Slaying Drawing Sword Technique becomes.

This is also why Chu Xiu watched Ananda's breaking-the-precepts sword technique.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Heng said with a respectful expression.

"However, one must at least reach the Grandmaster level before one can enter the armory to view other martial arts techniques."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Those below the Grandmaster realm are not allowed to enter the armory."

"If they can master the Killing Blade Manual of our Northern Garrison, that would already be quite good for them."

"My subordinate understands."

Fang Heng said respectfully.

"Alright, that's all."

Chu Xiu left a sentence behind, took a step, and disappeared into the hall.

"Congratulations, my lord."

Fang Heng and Lin Huaiyu bowed respectfully.

After leaving the hall, Chu Xiu went to the study of the Northern Garrison Commander.

Fang Heng then sent someone to summon Pei Shiji, Yang Cheng, and Luo Tianxi.

After Pei Shiji and the other two arrived, Fang Heng and Lin Huaiyu handed over the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Pill and the Pure Yang Limitless Pill that belonged to the three of them.

Pei Shiji and the other two showed deep gratitude on their faces. Although Chu Xiu was not there, they still expressed their thanks in the direction of the study of the Northern Garrison Commander.

then.

Fang Heng and his group of five simply took the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Pill right there in the hall.

After consuming the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Pill, the five individuals experienced a significant enhancement in their talents and aptitudes, as if they had undergone a complete transformation.

Then, Fang Heng left the hall to carry out the tasks that Chu Xiu had entrusted to him.

Pei Shiji and the other three took the Pure Yang Limitless Pill in the hall and stepped into the realm of the Primordial Spirit.

Even if they had not yet reached the Grandmaster realm, after taking the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Pill, they all naturally reached the Grandmaster realm and met the conditions for taking the Pure Yang Limitless Pill.

Not long after.

Pei Shiji and others successively stepped into the realm of primordial spirit and became true primordial spirit immortals.

Half an hour later.

The entire Northern Garrison Command was mobilized.

Three thousand elite guards, riding their warhorses, departed from the Northern Garrison Command in a grand procession, heading out of the capital to various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Jing Shen Guard and the Jing Xian Guard are still secretly cultivating in the Northern Garrison.

A group of spies from the Northern Garrison Command were tasked with secretly investigating the list of people whose property had been forcibly seized by the Wanfo Temple.

The vast majority followed the Skyguard to various places to provide intelligence support for the Skyguard.

The remaining officers of the Northern Garrison were also responsible for investigating the list of people whose property had been forcibly seized by the Wanfo Temple.

Wanfo Temple.

A figure seemed to appear out of thin air deep within the Wanfo Temple.

This figure was an old man in black with white eyebrows and hair, and a ruddy complexion.

"Who dares to trespass on my Wanfo Temple?"

A cold shout rang out from Wanfo Temple.

A terrifying aura rose from Wanfo Temple, firmly locking onto the old man in black.

The old man in black became solemn and said loudly, "Wan Yulou, a retainer of the Wang family of Taiyuan, has come to pay respects to Master Zikong, the abbot of Wanfo Temple, on behalf of the Wang family of Taiyuan!"

Although this Taiyuan Wang clan retainer was a master at the peak of the ninth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm.

However, he never intended to hide it from the eyes of Wanfo Temple.

He couldn't hide it from him.

The strength possessed by Wanfo Temple is beyond that of a mere Ascended Immortal Realm cultivator.

Even those at the Celestial Realm, above the Immortal Ascension Realm, would be instantly suppressed upon entering the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple!

This is one of the four holy sites of Buddhism!

The reason the Wang family of Taiyuan sent him here was not because of his strength, but because he was shrewd and adept at handling affairs.

The voice just fell.

One after another, terrifying auras vanished.

"Benefactor Wan, this way please. The abbot is already waiting for you in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

A middle-aged monk in a gray robe with a gentle face appeared out of thin air in front of Wan Yulou and extended his hand to invite him.

"Excuse me, Master."

Wan Yulou dared not be negligent, returned the greeting to the middle-aged monk, and then left with him.

He was secretly shocked; this Wanfo Temple was indeed extraordinary.

This middle-aged monk looked to be only in his thirties or forties, but the aura he possessed far surpassed that of the man!

He is a true being of the Celestial Realm!

"You're too kind, Benefactor Wan."

"This humble monk Jingru is unworthy of the title of Master Wan."

The middle-aged monk shook his head and said as he walked away.

"So it was Master Jingru."

"Disrespect, disrespect."

Wan Yulou's eyes narrowed, and he spoke to Monk Jingru.

Within Wanfo Temple, the temple is divided into four sections: Ji, Fu, Zhi, Hui, Zi, Jue, Jing, Ben, Wu, and Pu.

The Pu generation are ordinary disciples, the Wu generation are inner disciples, the Ben generation are core disciples of each academy, the Jing generation are true disciples, the Jue generation are the heads and elders of each academy, the Zi generation are the abbots of Wanfo Temple, and the Hui generation are the abbots' uncles and grand-uncles, equivalent to the grandmasters and grand-uncles of the heads of each academy.

Not bad.

In Wanfo Temple, the abbot and the heads of each monastery are not of the same generation, but are held by the previous generation.

Those who were unable to serve as abbots all went to the Bodhidharma Institute of Wanfo Temple for intensive cultivation.

The head of the Dharma Institute is also a member of the same generation as the abbot of Wanfo Temple.

He was the head of the Bodhidharma Institute of Wanfo Temple, because he was of the same generation as the abbot of Wanfo Temple and was a true martial arts fanatic.

Therefore, the head of the Bodhidharma Academy is usually a mysterious figure in Wanfo Temple. He never participates in the handling of Wanfo Temple's affairs, nor does he ever appear.

Wan Yulou originally thought that if Monk Jingru could reach the Celestial Realm, he must at least be an elder of Wanfo Temple, someone of the Jue generation.

who knows……

He's only from the "Jing" generation!

The foundation of Wanfo Temple is probably no less than that of the major aristocratic families!

Less than a moment.

Monk Jingru led Wan Yulou to the outside of the Wanfo Hall and gestured for him to go in.

Wan Yulou straightened his clothes before walking into the Wanfo Hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Wan Yulou saw Master Zikong, the abbot of Wanfo Temple, dressed in a red kasaya, sitting cross-legged on a futon. He was small and unremarkable.

Although there is a golden Buddha statue that is three zhang tall in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, it is surrounded by golden Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

However, when Wan Yulou entered the Wanfo Hall, the first thing he saw was Master Zikong.

It was as if Master Zikong was at the very center of the entire Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.

In the Great Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and indeed in the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Master Zikong is the true Buddha in this world!

Wan Yulou naturally knew that Master Zikong's Buddhist teachings had reached an unfathomable level. He bowed respectfully to Master Zikong, saying, "Wan Yulou, a retainer of the Wang family of Taiyuan, greets Master Zikong."
