The Buddhist Sect, specifically the Golden Wheel Temple, attempted to coerce Xie Wuyi into using ancient evil cultivators' souls to fuel their Asura Calamity Method. Xie Wuyi was captured and controlled by a golden chain, and Li Yunjing, after witnessing this through a Soul Searching Technique, released Xie Wuyi and decided to change their escape route. They then discovered Xie Wuyi had a Buddhist Sect restriction on his chest, prompting them to quickly flee Celestial Net Island.

Li Yunjing’s sigh had not yet faded when suddenly, the distant sea surface surged with towering waves, a golden light bursting from the seabed and illuminating the entire sea region as if it were daylight.

"Not good! The Buddhist Sect is coming for revenge!"

Yue Wuya’s face changed drastically, urgently urging the spiritual boat to accelerate.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

In Li Yunjing and Yue Wuya’s gaze, from the direction of "Celestial Net Island," a Buddhist chant echoed through the heavens and earth, and within the golden light appeared an old monk clad in robes, holding a golden bowl, with eyes like electricity, directly fixed on Li Yunjing.

"Fellow Daoists of ’Celestial Net Dao Sect,’ release my ’Golden Wheel Temple’ disciple, and our Buddhist Sect is willing to coexist peacefully with your sect."

The old monk’s voice was like a great bell, shaking "Celestial Net Island," leaving countless people dizzy.

Even on the spiritual boat far from "Celestial Net Island," the members of "Limitless Cliff Sect" all felt their blood surging, experiencing various discomforts.

"So formidable!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, suppressing the surging blood within his heart, revealing a terrifying expression.

"Golden Wheel Dharma King! You’re too arrogant! You’re just alone, and yet you dare to attack our ’Celestial Net Dao Sect,’ you’re courting death!"

On "Celestial Net Island," azure brilliance shot straight to the nine heavens, as a great expert of the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" appeared, summoning a reflection of the nine celestial rivers in the void...

"Fellow Daoist Li, these two have unfathomable cultivation, we must hurry and flee!"

Feeling the two strong auras from the direction of "Celestial Net Island," Yue Wuya urged anxiously.

"Go!"

Li Yunjing’s gaze sunk, swiftly forming a seal, and a purple light curtain rose around the spiritual boat, which accelerated instantly, speeding towards the "Ghost Mist Sea" direction.

Aside from Li Yunjing’s spiritual boat, many other ships scattered across the sea, quickly fleeing.

"My disciple under the poor monk, Hui Ye, acted on his own, offending the fellow Daoists of ’Celestial Net Dao Sect,’ the old monk is willing to make amends, please forgive him once."

Seeing this, the old monk frowned slightly, raising the golden bowl in his hand once more, a golden light like a bolt of silk sweeping forth.

"Boom!"

The golden light struck the nine celestial rivers, erupting with a deafening roar.

The light curtain trembled violently, yet the nine celestial rivers did not shatter in the end.

Negotiations must indeed occur!

But during the negotiations, they must also engage in mutual combat, testing each other’s details to aid in the final decision-making!

"Oh? Could actually block an old monk’s strike?"

Golden Wheel Dharma King appeared slightly surprised, then sneered, "’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ indeed has individuals with great mana."

He clasped his hands together, muttering words of incantation, and countless golden runes appeared on the sea surface, forming a giant cage, trapping the nine celestial rivers within.

"Hmph! The Buddhist Sect’s ’Vajra Demon Subduing Array’!"

The expert across from "Celestial Net Dao Sect" sneered continuously, "But can mere Buddhist Divine Techniques truly contend with our Profound Sect Orthodox Sect?"

"Break for me!"

Within the nine celestial rivers, a man dressed in azure Daoist robe had a trace of ferocity flash in his eyes, his forefinger and middle finger merged, forming a sword finger, tearing through the void, and slashing fiercely on the golden cage.

"Crack!"

A rift appeared in the cage, the nine celestial rivers once again surged down.

"Golden Wheel Dharma King, your ’Golden Wheel Temple’ intended to overthrow ’Celestial Net Island,’ a grievous crime, and you think one sentence will make me release people, wouldn’t that cause our ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ to lose face among the many grand sects on ’Celestial Wave Star’?"

The azure-robed man from "Celestial Net Dao Sect" sneered, "If you want to release people, I need to see your ’Golden Wheel Temple’s’ sincerity!"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Golden Wheel Dharma King clasped his hands together, appearing dignified, Buddha light flowing around him, said slowly, "The poor monk is willing to exchange three volumes of the ’Great Sun Tathagata Sutra’ for Hui Ye’s freedom."

As these words fell, a sudden silence descended between the sea and sky.

The ’Great Sun Tathagata Sutra’ is one of the supreme classics of the Buddhist Sect, rumored to, upon reaching great success, allow one to attain the Arhat fruit, a treasure countless cultivators dream of.

"The Dharma King really is willing to pay generously."

The azure-robed man of "Celestial Net Dao Sect," Master Xuan Xiao’s gaze turned slightly, pondering for a moment, then coldly laughed, "But mere three volumes of sutra, you think can exchange for a shameless villain who intended to overthrow the foundation of our sect?"

"If Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao has other conditions, feel free to speak directly."

Golden Wheel Dharma King’s expression remained unchanged, spoke calmly.

Master Xuan Xiao’s gaze flickered, suddenly raised his hand and swept, the nine celestial rivers rolled back, forming a light curtain, enveloping the two, isolating external probing.

"Since the Dharma King is so forthright, then I won’t beat around the bush."

"Firstly, the ’Great Sun Tathagata Sutra’ must be complete twelve volumes, not mere three volumes."

"Secondly, ’Golden Wheel Temple’ must swear to the Heavenly Dao, not stepping into the East Sea for a hundred years."

He stood with hands behind his back, his voice low.

Master Xuan Xiao’s words made Golden Wheel Dharma King’s face extremely unsightly, but before Golden Wheel Dharma King could haggle over the terms, the Master continued with a third condition.

"Thirdly..."

Master Xuan Xiao’s eyes flashed with cold light, "Hand over a ’Buddha Bone Relic’!"

Upon hearing this, Golden Wheel Dharma King’s brow furrowed.

The second condition is still negotiable, but the ’Buddha Bone Relic’ is a supreme treasure of the Buddhist Sect, each one containing the lifetime cultivation of past high monks, incredibly precious.

Especially the first condition, it’s simply impossible to agree to.

Golden Wheel Dharma King was also harboring malicious intentions, trading out the first three volumes, if "Celestial Net Dao Sect" had individuals cultivate it, surely they would be shocked by the profound Buddhist Dharma, and combined with subsequent cultivation techniques, all within "Golden Wheel Temple."

Those cultivators wanting to obtain the divine skill codex would be tempted by the Buddhist Sect, perhaps becoming a pawn of "Golden Wheel Temple," contributing to the spread of Buddhist Dharma.
