Sunlight pierced through the opening at the top of the Buddhist hall.
Qin Yexuan's heart trembled.
A true extraterrestrial powerhouse had arrived this time.
Haotian had already subdued those extraterrestrial demon gods, so it was likely he who had personally sent this one.
Based on Qin Yexuan's deduction, Haotian would not leave his aerial island at this moment, as he needed to fuse the Pangu Spirit with the Pangu Body as quickly as possible.
The last remnants of the Pangu Spirit and the final pieces of the Pangu Body were both in Goryeo.
With that old scoundrel Haotian's character, he would only appear in Goryeo with absolute crushing power after he had fully integrated his trump cards.
Before that, he wouldn't show himself, not even for a moment, if there was the slightest risk.
In this world, Haotian feared and was most wary of him, Qin Yexuan.
The two had once shared the same body and traversed ten thousand years, knowing each other far too well.
The strongest individuals from Goryeo's three great sects in the hall had long since prostrated themselves on the ground, watching as Qin Yexuan alone confronted those monsters.
And the silent foreign strongmen, they had not made a move from beginning to end.
They were like a group of puppets.
Brilliant light appeared from above.
A handsome man, stepping on golden petals, descended from the sky.
Behind him, a pair of white wings unfolded in mid-air.
Beautiful, sacred, it brought tears to the eyes of everyone in the hall.
He landed before Qin Yexuan, smiling, appearing so pure and flawless.
"Little Joseph, the last time I saw you on television, you were already so old that your eyes could barely open, and you could only sit in a wheelchair. How have you become young again?"
The Pope from the Holy Land smiled and said, "In the baptism photos for me, you looked exactly like this. Eighty years later, you still look the same. I think 'returning to youth' is not as fitting for you as 'immortality,' a power sought by gods and demons alike."
Qin Yexuan said coldly, "You are not Little Joseph. At least, the boy I knew had the most devout faith. He would never appear before me with werewolves and vampires!"
Ah!
Those who were stunned were shocked.
Qin Yexuan looked at the strongmen brought by the Bishop, "You don't need to pretend anymore. I can smell the blood on you from far away."
Roar! Roar!
The faces of more than a dozen strongmen contorted, their features protruding, black fur appearing on their bodies. They didn't directly transform into werewolves, but donned a layer of hard armor covering half their bodies. These armors seemed natural, bearing the crests of the bloodthirsty wolf tribe.
The other strongmen opposite them revealed sharp fangs, and their entire bodies began to shrink. Their robust physiques became exceptionally slender. With black cloaks and red scarves, they instantly transformed into elegant vampires.
"Duke-level of the wolf tribe, Elder-level of the vampire race. Impressive. The Holy Land can actually get two blood feud families to cooperate."
The wolf duke revealed his bloodthirsty claws.
The vampires looked disdainful.
No matter how one looked at it, Qin Yexuan had no power to resist.
The principle of "all beings are equal" offered no advantage against these monsters who had existed since ancient times.
"Qin, even if you cast 'all beings are equal' and both sides lose their spiritual energy, these werewolves and vampires can still tear you apart with their innate physique!"
Qin Yexuan shrugged, "Yes, so you intend to deal with me here?"
The Pope of the Holy Land hesitated.
After a long while, he shook his head, "Do not harm him. Imprison him first. Our only goal is the Mingben Secret Teachings; make them hand over the book of prophecy!"
What exactly was written in that book of prophecy from the ancient Goryeo people?
And how did Master Mingben predict it?
Qin Yexuan had not yet figured it out.
He was thrown into the Guanyin Hall behind the main hall. The wolf dukes, with their simple and crude methods, directly moved four large statues to block the entire Guanyin Hall from the outside.
The metal sculptures weighed thousands of pounds, and Qin Yexuan could only watch.
"I hope that Zhu Tianqi is smart when he arrives and comes to find me first..."
Qin Yexuan looked outside through the gaps.
A meow was heard, and the silhouette of a lion cat flashed past.
Qin Yexuan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Tell Zhu Tianqi to come see me first!"
He sat in the Guanyin Hall, watching the sunlight outside gradually set.
Even if the three great sects were to hand over the book of prophecy of the Mingben Secret Teachings, they would have to transport it from their headquarters. Not to mention, the remaining pages preserved by Qinglong Temple also needed to be retrieved from the temple's mechanisms, which would take time.
Time was on his side.
Although he didn't know what was in the book of prophecy, it seemed to be related to him.
The last ray of sunset light pierced through the gaps in the statues, and Qin Yexuan felt a gust of wind.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhu Tianqi standing before him.
Her long black hair was tied back with a simple white scarf, and her figure seemed to have grown taller. Zhu Tianqi wore a dashing trench coat, tilting her head as she looked at him.
"It seems Xuanyuan Xing has condensed your body for you, and you can now freely use all the demonic sect's techniques."
When Zhu Tianqi heard his words, she smiled, "This is all thanks to Big Brother's help. But why have you become so useless now?"
Qin Yexuan leaned on the Guanyin statue to stand up, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me about Teacher Wang. What exactly did she say when she found you?"
Zhu Tianqi shrugged, "You know the rest. That book of prophecy by Master Mingben. It's related to your background... The only interesting part is that Wang Jiaqian told us that you yourself don't know this secret."
Qin Yexuan's expression turned wistful.
After a long while, he nodded, "Yes, I can't recall certain crucial memories, including where I came from, why I'm here, and some scenes of my encounter with Su Qing."
"Because Haotian sealed your crucial memories. But why? He is already the most powerful being in this world, perhaps even unique in the entire universe."
Qin Yexuan pondered, "You don't understand Haotian. Since Wang Jiaqian, as a member of the Wu tribe, ascended to the sky island, she would never betray Haotian."
Zhu Tianqi was startled, "You mean Teacher Wang was actually acting under Haotian's orders to find us? She wasn't cooperating sincerely?"
Qin Yexuan smiled, "You can't interpret it that way. Haotian disdains schemes and prefers overt strategies. What he said must be the truth, and Teacher Wang also genuinely cared about me when she revealed those secrets."
Zhu Tianqi was a bit confused.
Qin Yexuan said in a deep voice, "Haotian felt that the time had come, so he decided to return my sealed memories."
"Then what about that guy from the Holy Land outside? Isn't Haotian behind him?"
Qin Yexuan shook his head, "It seems that Haotian's subordinates have different ideas. They don't want me to regain my memories, so they sent Lucifer's avatar."
Zhu Tianqi became eager, "It seems I still have to go and meet him!"
"That's an extraterrestrial powerhouse. Even though you are the top cultivator among mortals, going there would be suicide."
Zhu Tianqi was silent for a moment, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Your body has been enhanced, and you possess the top demonic sect techniques, but your spiritual energy is acquired."
Qin Yexuan's eyes gleamed, "If I lend you some innate Pangu Spirit, you can take the final step, shatter the void, and achieve your ultimate form!"
