206: Chapter 206 Silent Zen Temple

"You want to go to the Central Region? Then this Seat will go with you."

"Very good, then... happy cooperation."

Su Mo smiled with satisfaction, not at all surprised by this result.

"Central Region? Brother, what kind of place is the Central Region?"

Fierce Tiger King stepped forward and asked in confusion.

He had never heard the words "Central Region" before, whether he was at the Beast Taming Sect or in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Su Mo turned around and explained patiently:

"The Cultivation World is vast; it is not just the Eastern Region beneath our feet. There are also the Western Region, Southern Region, and Central Region."

He cast his gaze into the distance:

"The Central Region is the most prosperous place for Cultivation, where Sects stand in great numbers, hiding countless secrets and Opportunities."

Fierce Tiger King's eyes lit up as he listened, feeling like a frog in a well.

"Why is there no Northern Region?"

Phoenix Nine Heavens spoke before Su Mo could:

"The Northern Region does not cease to exist... In ancient times, because of a great war that swept across the world, the Northern Region turned into a Forbidden Ground, known as the Immortal Burial Battlefield."

"What?! Immortal Burial Battlefield? Could it be that Immortals fell there?"

Fierce Tiger King and several Elders exclaimed in unison.

The great power capable of turning an entire region into a Forbidden Ground could only be achieved by Immortals, right?

"Immortals? Those were no Immortals, just Cultivators who had become powerful to a certain degree."

Su Mo sneered.

This remark made Fierce Tiger King and the others tremble inside. In their deeply ingrained perception, Immortals were the supreme existence, the ultimate goal of every Cultivator.

Yet in Su Mo's words, it seemed like nothing special.

Even Phoenix Nine Heavens fell into silence. As a Mahayana Stage Cultivator, she had never been able to step into the Tribulation Crossing Stage, as if a natural chasm blocked the path forward for all Cultivators.

"Then why... has the Immortal path been severed..."

Su Mo heard Phoenix Nine Heavens' whisper and began to ponder.

After the Light Law Origin condensed, he also had a feeling of being unable to advance further, as if the Law Origin was covered by an invisible membrane, unable to transform into an immortal fetus and step into the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

He recalled the "Blood Scripture" given to him by the Blood Sea Demon Venerable...

"Could it be..."

A flash of realization crossed Su Mo's eyes.

The Immortal path was severed by the Great Nirvana Buddha and the Blood Sea Demon Venerable, and the Cultivation Technique given to him by the Blood Sea Demon Venerable was a key, a key to advance further.

This was just Su Mo's conjecture, but the more Su Mo thought about it, the more possible it seemed. As for what purpose the Blood Sea Demon Venerable wanted to achieve, it was unknown...

"Trying to use me, huh..."

A look of ferocity flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

"Then let's see who is using whom!"

He was already prepared to Cultivate the "Blood Scripture", but not by himself, rather by his Incarnation.

...

On top of the Two-Headed Phoenix, Su Mo was lying leisurely on a soft bed made of countless Zerg.

Insect eggs rolled past his hand, and then, under everyone's gaze, hatched into a Nascent Soul Great Perfection Zerg.

Besides Su Mo, there were a few others on the Phoenix's back: Su Su, Blue Heart, Fierce Tiger King, and Phoenix Nine Heavens.

Despite the repeated pleas of his clansmen, Fierce Tiger King firmly rejected the proposal to stay, handed all clan affairs over to the Grand Elder, and resolutely decided to follow Su Mo to the Central Region.

He knew that calm waters do not produce skilled sailors.

Behind the group, Phoenix Nine Heavens was like a lone wolf, far away from the others. She had changed into a crimson-gold long dress formed from pure Fire Spiritual Qi, her figure outstanding, her Phoenix eyes gazing coldly into the distance, showing neither joy nor anger.

"Brother, can we really see Mom and Dad this time?"

Su Su did not care about the insect swarm at all; instead, she clung to Su Mo, thoughtfully feeding him crystal-clear Spiritual Fruits.

"Rest assured, we will definitely see them."

Su Mo said helplessly.

Along the way, this question had been asked a dozen times. Every time, he would give a positive answer, but not long after asking, he would hear it again.

"Mm! I believe in Brother!"

Having received a positive reply, Su Su immediately smiled like a flower and picked up an even larger Spiritual Fruit.

"Brother, eat another one, this one is so sweet!"

Blue Heart, watching this scene from the side, covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes gentle.

Phoenix Nine Heavens' gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep across this warm scene. Her cold eyes fluctuated slightly, but quickly returned to calm.

A moment later, Phoenix Nine Heavens' eyes suddenly became serious, and the aura around her, which had been restrained, instantly became sharp.

Almost at the same time, Su Mo stood up, the laziness on his face swept away, and he looked down.

They were currently above a city of the Human Race. Looking down from high above, the city layout was complete, bustling with traffic and noise, looking very peaceful.

But Su Mo felt a familiar aura.

Great Nirvana Buddha!

Every place in this city was emitting the peaceful aura of the Great Nirvana Buddha, which was very strange.

Phoenix Nine Heavens also felt this aura, which she extremely detested, and her face became icy cold.

"Has this aura actually permeated into the Human Race city..."

Su Mo's mind moved, causing the Two-Headed Phoenix to stop in place.

"Wait here for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could react, he stepped off the Phoenix's back, his figure falling towards the city below.

Seeing this, Phoenix Nine Heavens' eyes flashed, and she followed him down.

Su Mo did not appear directly in the city; instead, he concealed his figure and used his Divine Sense to perceive every part of the city.

He saw some Cultivators, their words full of praise and longing for the "Nirvana Zen Monastery". Among the vendors, there were those selling jade pendants carved with the " 卍" Buddhist seal, and many families would pray to the temple in the center of the city before meals.

The entire city, from Cultivators to Mortals, almost everyone was immersed in a peaceful aura.

And the source of all this was the Nirvana Zen Monastery in the center of the city.

"You felt it too?"

Su Mo looked at Phoenix Nine Heavens, who had also concealed her figure beside him.

"It has actually infected all the living beings in the entire city!"

Phoenix Nine Heavens' expression was grim.

Seeing the whole from a part, it was enough to show that the Great Nirvana Buddha's aura had probably spread to a much wider area.

"What exactly is he trying to do?!"

"Not sure, but it's definitely not anything good."

After saying this, Su Mo walked towards the Nirvana Zen Monastery in the center of the city.

He wanted to see who exactly was presiding over this monastery.

Seeing this, Phoenix Nine Heavens hesitated for a moment, then quietly followed.

She also wanted to know what kind of entity could possess such an aura. She had avoided it repeatedly before, but now with Su Mo around, she was effectively Immortal and had absolutely nothing to worry about.

The closer they got to the monastery, the more intense the eerie aura beneath the peace became.

At the entrance of the monastery, there were two monks greeting guests, wearing peaceful smiles, with the " 卍" Buddhist seal between their eyebrows emitting a faint radiance.

"Two benefactors, you look very unfamiliar. Is this your first time coming to our Nirvana Zen Monastery?"

One of the monks spoke, his voice peaceful and pleasant, yet carrying an unquestionable tone.

"The monastery is holding a Dharma assembly today, focusing on the true meaning of Nirvana, which can transcend the sea of suffering and attain great freedom. Would the two of you like to enter and listen?"
