Gu Ping noticed the man, Zhuang Zhixian. He took advantage of the exhausted Foundation Practitioner from the Jade Void Sect, who was already injured, and struck with a long stick, knocking the Jade Void Sect cultivator unconscious. Then, while everyone was distracted, he quietly took the man away from the battlefield. 0
 
Was this Zhuang Zhixian's goal? No sect would take him in because a Great Master had said he would become a demon in the future. Yet, Zhuang Zhixian did not give up; he wanted to use this opportunity to force out the secrets of the Foundation Establishment technique, a top-tier method from the Jade Void Sect. If he had the chance, he would stop at nothing to infiltrate the Jade Void Sect. 0
 
Zhuang Zhixian believed his talent was no weaker than anyone else's, but just one sentence had denied his future. He refused to accept it and was unwilling to give in. He worked hard to become a cultivator, willing to risk everything for even the slightest chance. For this reason, he had scavenged many times and nearly lost his life on several occasions, yet he still hadn’t obtained what he sought. 0
 
He was too weak and had not truly entered the Cultivation World. Even the Foundation Establishment techniques sold at the Fairy Market were beyond his reach. As a mere Qi Refinement cultivator, he could barely afford them. Fortunately, he encountered Gu Ping and learned about Gu Ping's situation. He chose to help Gu Ping in hopes that tomorrow he could finally obtain what he desired—a method that would allow him to cultivate for a long time. 0
 
Now that he had seized an opportunity, it felt as if Azure Hawk was right behind him. This was indeed troublesome; tomorrow's events must not be revealed to them, Zhuang Zhixian thought. 0
 
Finding a dense thicket, Zhuang Zhixian hid himself and bound the already injured Jade Void Sect cultivator, preparing for an ambush against whoever might follow him. 0
 
Just as he sensed someone approaching his expected position, Zhuang Zhixian launched an attack without hesitation. However, to his surprise, his prepared strike missed entirely. Even more shocking was that the person was none other than the ordinary human he had thought posed no threat. 0
 
How could this be? 0
 
What about my goal? 0
 
The two questioned each other simultaneously, but neither answered nor sought an explanation for their misunderstanding. 0
 
Zhuang Zhixian silently turned around toward the tree where he had tied up the Jade Void Sect cultivator, not wanting to engage with Gu Ping any further; Gu Ping seemed to have no intention of pursuing him either. 0
 
Just as Zhuang Zhixian was about to turn and leave, Gu Ping's voice rang in his ears. 0
 
 
Is cultivation really just about seeking? 0
 
Zhuang Zhixian pondered this question within himself. When he was expelled from the Sect, no one had asked him anything. He had inquired from various sources to find the location of the Fairy Market, hoping to buy a method, but there was no crowd to accompany him. As he scavenged for resources, no one blamed him. Now, was he still seeking? 0
 
He had already given up on seeking; he knew he could not turn back. 0
 
He had never seen him before, and he had never seen Zhuang Zhixian either. 0
 
Zhuang Zhixian understood that after tomorrow, a new world would emerge, and at some point, a demon named Zhuang Zhixian would appear. For now, he hoped that this new self would not truly go astray. His future depended solely on him. 0
 
Gu Ping returned to the battlefield nearby and happened to see the Primordial Celestial Demon bowing before Ling Chanzi. Ling Chanzi was enveloped in a brilliant Buddhist light, and a massive Buddha's Golden Body appeared in everyone's sight. The Mahayana Practitioners who had come down with the True Immortal were nowhere to be seen. 0
 
The Buddha's Golden Body slowly extended its right leg and formed the Demon Suppression Seal. It struck the Primordial Celestial Demon as if it had crossed through the river of time, delivering a powerful blow that soon dissipated into smoke. 0
 
The dark clouds that once covered the sky had cleared. Aside from the corpses of cultivators scattered across the ground, there were no traces of battle left. Just as everyone thought it was all over, a black-red figure swiftly raced toward Great Green Mountain like a streak of light, disappearing from view before anyone could react. 0
 
Some people gazed at the lotus flower entwined around Ling Chanzi's leg with fiery eyes, wanting to know if his Buddha could protect the Little Monk after vanquishing demons. 0
 
Gu Ping was unaware of Ling Chanzi's initial intentions. Now he understood what weighed heavily on his heart: I don't deny it. The Little Monk he had saved was not entirely out of danger. Although Ling Chanzi came to subdue demons, pulling such an innocent person into this conflict as a shield left Gu Ping with an unresolved knot in his heart. No matter what happened, he only wished for the Little Monk's safety; perhaps then that knot could finally unravel. 0
 
"Yoyo," Gu Ping called out and then awakened Yoyo from her slumber, instructing her to save Dong Lai. 0
 
 
Yoyo swiftly transformed, becoming a giant fox that rivaled the towering trees, and then appeared before everyone. Some who had read about the Fox Clan gasped in disbelief upon seeing the gray mane around Yoyo's neck, exclaiming in astonishment at the sight of the Pure World Fox. 0
 
The strange flames of the Fox Spirit Canghong completely engulfed the land, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Yoyo picked up Ling Chanzi on its back and carried her away into the distance. 0
