"?" Lu Ren slowly typed a question mark, full of doubt: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Great Shizhi smiled bitterly: "I don't know either, but I think it's probably like that; he must have two reproductive systems. Back then, Guan Zizai, as the prince of Mola Country, achieved the Bodhisattva Fruit Position, and because of the Celestial Heart, appeared with both male and female characteristics."
Lu Ren did not comnt further; although he had learned so gossip stories, he did not delve too deeply into these matters, because focusing too much on this would surely skew the mindset.
Pretending to ponder, watching as Great Shizhi appeared on the brink of utmost exhaustion, he asked, "Where are the spirit ships of your Ling Mountain and Celestial Palace headed? To the true other shore?"
Great Shizhi gave a bitter smile: "If we truly reached the other shore, how would we return here? The other shore cannot be found. We've exhausted resources, joined hands with the Celestial Court, and forged the two spirit ships of Ling Mountain and Celestial Palace to venture to the Unknown Infinite Land, but there ultimately is nothing that we desire. The so-called other shore is just an illusion, a bubble that bursts at a touch."
Great Shizhi sighed: "After enduring so many years, it's nothing but elusive; is this truly the so-called Enlightennt Land? Eternal and immortal, all things return as one. Even the Supre struggles, eager to escape the Sea of Suffering to beco that one eternal being. Can we, can we ever have a chance?"
Seeing the bewildered look on Great Shizhi's face, Lu Ren understood that after so many years, even wandering in the Unknown Land had been just wasting away ti, watching helplessly as his lifespan gradually dried up and died of old age.
It can be said that even soone as strong as Great Shizhi, at the Peak of Human Immortal Realm, is facing the depletion of lifespan, about to die of old age.
"When will your Celestial Palace and Ling Mountain's two hidden ships arrive?"
Upon hearing this, a peculiar smile appeared on Great Shizhi's face, "You have actually revived Witchcraft Cultivation, is there possibly a surviving Ancestral Witch erging?"
Lu Ren said, "The twelve Ancestral Witches have long perished in history. I think you should be more aware of these histories than I am?"
Great Shizhi continuously coughed blood, a smile on his face: "I think you should understand that Witchcraft Path is a taboo; those who encounter it are tasked with exterminating it. If there are no Ancestral Witches comparable to Earth Immortal Realm, you will be turned over with a flip of the hand."
Lu Ren replied indifferently: "You need not worry yourself about this. Right now, I just need to know when the Celestial Palace and Ling Mountain will return?"
"Ten years, you only have ten years." Great Shizhi Bodhisattva responded with a mildly dismissive tone: "Although I don't know what great fortune you have obtained, under a true Earth Immortal, these matters are but trifles.
The mortals who worship the Witchcraft Path are slaughtered entirely, leaving only a pure batch, and in a few centuries, they can grow again..."
Bang!!
Watching the brain matter of Great Shizhi Bodhisattva burst under his foot, already silenced, Lu Ren slowly withdrew his foot and his eyes suddenly brightened, like Void Generating White, lightning filling the void, montarily freezing Great Shizhi's True Spirit who wished to escape from here.
Great Shizhi scread in horror: "If you kill , Tathagata will sense it, you..."
Before the words were finished, Lu Ren's face turned cold, and implicitly there was a force of intense sharpness yet carrying a weight that overwheld all things, instantly covered the space around, increasing the pressure by dozens of tis.
And that wisp of True Spirit escaping from Great Shizhi's Primordial Spirit was directly crushed.
"Ding, you have successfully killed the Great Shizhi Bodhisattva, you gained 5 Skill Points."
Lu Ren remained silent for a while, and as he prepared to turn away and leave, he suddenly paused as a glance shot over from a far-off distance, through great magical power, through Great Divine Techniques, traversing through countless barriers, nurous spaces, and landed on him.
It was a pair of golden eyes, the gaze devoid of any emotion, if it had to be described, it was as if the other party was just a stone, emotionless, simply seeming to have touched so chanism and sensed, thus looked over.
"Ding, you have encountered the gaze of Tathagata, who seems quite interested in you, more imbued with negative malice wanting to see through you."
"Tathagata?!"
Lu Ren was suddenly alard, his robust Qi and Blood soared as a wolf smoke rises, his entire body emanating heat like a celestial furnace, exuding astonishing warmth from his body.
Although there was no air dium on the lunar surface, the land beneath his feet almost turned into glass.
Under the induction of Witch Power inside, capturing and converging the Thick Earth Essence Qi from the Moon, the energy visibly flowed upward like a reversed waterfall.
His Essence, Qi, and Spirit escalated to the peak in an instant, continuously breaking shackles under the rotation of the World Honored One's Heart Sutra, breaking through his limits with a relentless fervor to elevate his power.
Within, always ready to manifest the Ancestral Witch Incarnation, to face whatever lies ahead.
Even the earth seed unable to bear the great power Lu Ren possessed. Simply the ripple waves spontaneously emanated from his power amplitude, set off a tempestuous storm, the swirling dust like rising tides, the ground further cracking, nurous layers of soil being squeezed to the surface, as if this part of the Cosmos and world were stirred.
Lu Ren's expression was cold, undaunted, instead he focused his mind, gazing intently without hesitation into the gaze from Tathagata.
If it were face-to-face, with him being a re True Immortal, and facing the pressure from an Earth Immortal's gaze, it would be unbearable no matter what.
But such a gaze piercing through layers of space, beyond countless barriers, from an endless distance was, quite frankly, already unbelievable to simply peer upon, let alone exert any more force.
Well, Lu Ren felt he wouldn't even need to struggle, possessing such greatness, he might as well lay down, clean his neck, waiting for a cleaver blow.
Their gazes intersected, and the once-still gaze of Tathagata finally flickered with a change. After gazing at Lu Ren for a long while, the space forced under the Great Cosmos' rules and will began to get forcefully restored, then the gaze utterly ceased.
When all settled down, Lu Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief and then realized he had unknowingly broken into a cold sweat.
He stumbled back, sitting down abruptly, gasping heavily; despite the lack of air, the body's physiological instincts were fully released under Witchcraft Cultivation to relieve internal pressure.
It's not physical exhaustion but a kind of soul-crushing spiritual pressure, previously held at bay by a high concentration of Spirit and an indomitable, fierce battle intent.
Yet, once the crisis was averted, the body's natural release in Witchcraft terms was not necessarily a bad thing.
Acting freely without overstepping boundaries.
Not in the sense Kong Qiu spoke of, about observing rules as the ultimate principle, but a kind of personal revolution setting a boundary in the heart, within which freedom of action is allowed.
