Capítulo 2208: Chapter 2207: The Strange Old Man, Cloud Interval Temple
Looking down from the sky, one would discover that the flattened Kanglong Mountain actually retains a gigantic footprint.
It’s akin to the footprint of a giant.
Simply put, a giant descended from the heavens and obliterated Kanglong Mountain with one step.
It also utterly destroyed Buddha Country with that step.
Because of that step, many feared being implicated, so they dared not approach.
Until many years later, the area around Kanglong Mountain had no more disturbances or even any battles.
So forces began searching the area for treasures left behind by Buddha Country.
Over ti, more and more people ca here.
On the ruins of Kanglong Mountain, a city was established.
It is nad Longxing City.
Like a newborn Kanglong Mountain, Longxing City developed rapidly.
Under the leadership of a family nad ng, the city quickly beca a large city.
Though the ng family initially relied on the backing of ten families as a subordinate power.
With the fall of the ten families, the ng family seized the opportunity and swiftly rose in rank.
They began to absorb the foundation left by the ten families, making the ng family strong and powerful.
Moreover, Longxing City underwent several expansions, now thriving and powerful.
……
Xu Zii moved quickly after learning the location of Longxing City.
He navigated the Ti-Space Shuttle, making haste the entire way.
Finally, at dawn the next day, he arrived outside Longxing City.
Looking down from the firmant, Longxing City indeed resembles a stretching dragon.
Different from other cities.
The others are built from a central point, expanding in all directions.
But Longxing City expanded east and west, making it appear like a dragon poised to soar.
Standing beneath Longxing City, one could feel a rich concentration of spiritual energy.
This isn’t the level of abundance nature’s spiritual energy should possess.
Xu Zii imdiately saw that beneath Longxing City lies one, perhaps several Spirit Veins.
No wonder the ng family risked establishing a city here.
With spiritual energy as a blessing, it’s a fortune for ancestors across generations.
Xu Zii descended from the firmant.
As he had overlooked from above, he could clearly sense a force of faith.
Different from his own Power of Faith.
The faith Xu Zii gathers is ant to enhance his own power.
But the faith in Longxing City is pure.
Neither wanting nor dependent.
Xu Zii doesn’t know the true nature of Buddha Country, but this power of faith resembles Buddha Country’s principles.
Old Longevity Man said, Jade Mountain Buddha’s dream is for everyone to be like dragons.
Xu Zii doesn’t think much of this dream.
After all, if everyone is like dragons, then who would be the rat?
Human thought is complex.
There is goodness, yet also evil.
The inherent flaws in human nature can’t be easily changed.
Unless Jade Mountain Buddha can enlighten everyone.
But that’s impossible; with billions of creatures in the world, who can enlighten each one without eventually collapsing from exhaustion?
Xu Zii entered the city.
Longxing City has a registry system; local residents can enter for free, outsiders must pay an entry fee.

To Xu Zii, money is already just a figure.
He casually tossed hundreds of Spirit Stones.
The gatekeeper rarely sees such generosity.
He paid no heed to Xu Zii’s deanor and, while picking up the Spirit Stones, said with a grin, “Enough to enter, Master, take care.”
“Let ask you sothing,” Xu Zii said.
“Speak freely, Master. I will answer anything,” replied the gatekeeper.
Holding Spirit Stones in his hand, he understood the principle that wealth commands respect.
“Is there a temple in the city?” Xu Zii asked.
“Why do you ask, Noble Sir?” the gatekeeper asked curiously.
“Monks these days are all deceivers, Noble Sir would do well to be cautious.”
Hearing the gatekeeper’s words, Xu Zii calmly said, “Just answer my question; I’ll discern everything else myself.”
“There is one temple, nad Cloud Interval Temple, with a Barefoot Monk inside,” the gatekeeper replied.
“But the temple has no attendees, and the so-called monk is a fraud.”
“A debauched monk, a wine-and-at monk.”
Xu Zii wasn’t expecting the temple’s reputation to be so poor here.
Could Buddha Country truly be destroyed?
Otherwise, how could everyone turns to dragons beco what it is now?
No matter what, Xu Zii decided to visit.
He walked through the city gates. Longxing City’s vastness is evident; on the streets, one could see all kinds of people.
Besides humans, there are even so smaller races here.
After getting his bearings, Xu Zii headed towards Cloud Interval Temple.
Cloud Interval Temple is relatively famous in Longxing City.
But this fa denotes infamy, not worth boasting about.
The area of Cloud Interval Temple isn’t large, and when Xu Zii arrived, it was quite desolate.
From the outside, it hardly resembled a temple; it was shabby and neglected.
While surrounding buildings remained intact, only this seed out of place in Longxing City.
In front of the temple, there was even a stinking ditch, the sll lingering in the air.
The wooden sign hung above was rotting, almost ready to fall.
Even the na “Cloud Interval Temple” was barely visible.
Xu Zii crossed the ditch and walked directly into Cloud Interval Temple.
Inside was even more decrepit, dust covering the floor, appearing as if untouched for years.
“Is anyone there?” Xu Zii called.
No one answered, but his Divine Sense spread out, detecting life inside the main hall.
He stepped into the main hall.
The main hall of the temple was already dilapidated; one side had collapsed.
Other halls were even worse.
Within the main hall stood only a Jade Buddha statue.
However, half of the Jade Buddha seed cleaved by Sword Qi, splitting it in two.
Beneath the statue, an old man wrapped in a blanket lay asleep despite the heat.
Upon hearing movent, the old man gradually lifted his head, eyes sparking with light.
Quick to move, defying his age.
He jumped up and rushed to Xu Zii.
He smiled and said, “Burning incense and praying to Buddha here is effective.”
“How effective?” Xu Zii asked.
“Your wishes will co true,” the old man said, producing incense sticks from behind him.
“But you must buy incense here, the ones outside won’t do.”
“Ten Spirit Stones per stick, no deception.”
