Lu Chen sat at the edge of the Buddha Burial Cliff, looking at the abyss and thinking about everything he had experienced at the bottom of the abyss. Lu Chen had originally planned to go to the Monastery as soon as he had made an agreement with the Golden Buddha Academy, but he couldn't withstand their repeated urging and stayed behind. For the past few days, he had been sitting at the edge of the Buddha Burial Cliff, thinking about what he needed to do in the future.

Actually, Lu Chen had already seen through Fan Yu's unwillingness when he had first discussed this matter with Xu Yin and his group for the Golden Buddha Academy to return to the Lingyun Sect. As for Fan Yu, Lu Chen had also obtained some understanding from Ling Tian. Before Fan Yu took over the Golden Buddha Academy, the Golden Buddha Academy had been stuck at a low point. It had been unable to recruit disciples all year round, and the new blood was insufficient, moreover, the buddhist arts were more profound and difficult to cultivate, causing the Golden Buddha Academy to almost be expelled from the top of the Sky Dragon Continent, becoming a medium-sized sect. At the same time, he lectured the disciples every ten days, and told them about his understanding of the buddhist arts without any stinginess. Moreover, if there were any areas where disciples did not know about, regardless of the level of their cultivation, he would patiently help them solve their difficulties. This caused the disciples of the Golden Buddha Academy to cultivate at a much faster rate than before, and the Golden Buddha Academy also regained its former glory. Moreover, Fan Yu was also a very ambitious person. His cultivation was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and he only lacked a sliver of comprehension, so unlike the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators, he didn't tremble when facing Soul Formation cultivators but treated himself as their equal.

When Fan Yu had just taken over the position, he was only at the early Nascent Soul Stage at the time, and everyone looked down on him. Xun Yun of the Devil Sect had even ridiculed him, saying that the Golden Buddha Academy was just an old autumn scene, causing Fan Yu to consciously throw the academy out and declare it as a medium-sized sect. However, Fan Yu had not been afraid of Xun Yun and said instead, "Senior is right, perhaps the current junior's cultivation is very low, and the Golden Buddha Academy is somewhat difficult, but junior will not forever stay in the Nascent Soul Stage, and the Golden Buddha Academy will not always be in a predicament. Furthermore, Senior Mu Qiu has been in the middle stage of the Soul Formation stage for countless years. I think Senior Mu Qiu is more suitable for it. " Xun Yun was instantly angered speechless by Fan Yu, and he even said ruthless words, saying that he would watch the Golden Buddha Academy fall, but what exceeded everyone's expectations was that not only did the Golden Buddha Academy not fall, it had even regained its glory.

After understanding Fan Yu's character, Lu Chen knew that if Fan Yu was willing to let the Golden Buddha Academy return to the Cloudsoaring sect, the chances of him doing so were basically zero. Just like how Lu Chen believed that if one day a Chamber of Commerce emerged and said that the Green Xuan Residence originally belonged to them and the Green Xuan Residence returned to that company, he would directly kick that person out. Therefore, he took a step back to let the Golden Buddha Academy help the Lingyun Sect in the future, and linked the two sects together. He could also take this opportunity to let the people of the Golden Buddha Academy have a good impression of him. After all, to Lu Chen, the return of the Golden Buddha Academy was only a matter of time. However, he did not want the disciples of the Golden Buddha Academy to rebel against the Lingyun Sect and become a tumor in the Lingyun Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, as expected, you're here." Fan Yu saw Lu Chen from a distance and said with a smile. In the past few days, he had been receiving rays of Golden Buddha luminescence from the main hall. He could clearly feel that his understanding of buddhist arts had greatly improved, and he could also faintly feel that he had touched a thin layer of the Spirit Severing Stage. Therefore, he was deeply grateful towards Lu Chen for losing his initial enmity.

"Sect Leader Fan, what business do you have with me?" Lu Chen turned his head and saw Fan Yu smiling as he asked.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have come on an important matter and I believe that you will also be interested in this matter." Fan Yu said with a smile.

"Oh, then what is it?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

"The Devil Sect is in trouble again, I'm afraid." Fan Yu said.

On the way back to the Buddhist Palace, Lu Chen learned what had happened from Fan Yu. It turned out that when he was at the bottom of the Buddha Cavern, the people of the Devil Sect suddenly received news that the Heaven Punisher Cliff, which had always been in seclusion, had suddenly said that it wanted to break through, so he handed all matters concerning the Devil Sect over to Xing Yun to take up the position of sect head. And yesterday, Fan Yu had received a note from Xing Yun saying that he would come to the Golden Buddha Courtyard in due to an important matter.

Lu Chen fell into deep thought after hearing Fan Yu's explanation. He said that Heaven Punisher Cliff had broken through his closed-door cultivation, but generally, people would be able to guess that something had happened to Heaven Punisher Cliff, which was why Heaven Punisher Cliff had even given the Sect Leader the authority. However, Lu Chen wasn't worried about this. What he was worried about was whether Xing Tianya, who was trapped in the array, was truly dead. The array he set up clearly only had the effect of trapping people, it couldn't cause any casualties at Xing Tian Cliff.

"Sect Leader Fan, may I ask if there is a possibility that the Life Plate has shattered and that person is not dead?" Lu Chen asked after thinking for a while.

"This one." Fan Yu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "I just heard that the Devil Sect used to have a cultivation technique called Duo Soul Ma. The person who cultivates this technique can split their soul into two, one could destroy their soul, but the person who cultivates this cultivation technique can still live. "However, because this cultivation technique was unorthodox and the method used to cultivate it was too harsh, it was destroyed by the Devil Sect more than seven thousand years ago."

"Dual Soul Art." Lu Chen read the cultivation technique again thoughtfully, then fell into deep thought.

Lu Chen and Fan Yu both felt a familiar aura when they arrived at the Buddhist Sect's front hall. Lu Chen and Fan Yu looked at each other and said, "I didn't expect the Devil Sect's people to come so quickly, I think I'll just avoid them for now." With that, Lu Chen left stealthily.

Not long after Lu Chen left, he saw Xing Yun following the patrolling disciples towards the buddhist temple at a leisurely pace.

"Fellow Daoist Xing, I didn't expect that you would arrive after we sent out our message yesterday." Fan Yu laughed as he spoke.

Xing Yun bowed to Fan Yu and said, "Sect Master Fan is too polite. Because I also have matters to discuss with you, I directly activated the sect's transmission array. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to reach here so quickly."

Fan Yu waved his hand and ordered the patrolling disciples to go down. He said to Xing Yun, "Fellow Xing, you're too polite. Why don't you and I head into the hall to discuss this?" With that, he led Xing Yun into the sect's buddhist hall.

Upon entering the buddhist temple, Xing Yun saw Xu Yin and Wan Nan hurriedly bow towards the two of them and then stand to one side.

"Little friend Xingyun, why have you come this time?" Xu Yin asked.

"It's like this, a while ago due to some matters within the sect, the Sect Leader brought a group of disciples back to the sect. Now that the sect's matters have been resolved, the Sect Leader wants to replan the matter of the Heavenly Ghost Courtyard, so he sent some juniors to invite the Golden Buddha Academy to join in the expedition against the Heavenly Ghost Courtyard." Xing Yun respectfully said.

"If little friend Xingyun has something like this, then there's no need to discuss it anymore. The last time Sect Leader Xing came, we very clearly told him that our Golden Buddha Academy does not participate in the Heavenly Ghost Academy." Wan Nan waved his hand.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Xing Yun's face as he continued, "Junior knows that the Golden Buddha Academy has never participated in the disputes between sects on Sky Dragon Continent, but now our sect has obtained evidence that the Lingyun Sect and Cloud Sky Sect have allied. If we don't cooperate now, we will only be swallowed by those two sects."

"Fellow cultivator Xing, your words are wrong. Even if the Cloudsoaring sect and the Cloud Sky Sect are united, our Golden Buddha Academy has never had anything to do with them. What does that have to do with us?" Fan Yu faintly said.

"Sect Leader Fan is wrong. Why would the Lingyun Sect ally with the Cloud Sky Sect? They are the two largest sects on the Sky Dragon Continent, which one of us can touch them." Furthermore, to be honest, the reason why our sect was so chaotic was because the Cloudsoaring sect's people had instigated our disciples to leave the sect in order to integrate with our sect. This matter was enough to prove the Cloudsoaring sect's ambition. If your Golden Buddha Academy is able to get its way today, then the Lingyun Sect will be destroyed sooner or later. " Xing Yun said.

Fan Yu's expression suddenly became unsightly as he asked, "Then what does this have to do with dealing with the Heavenly Ghost Yard?"

Seeing Fan Yu ask this, a hint of delight flashed across Xing Yun's eyes as he said, "Actually, the punishment for the Heavenly Ghost Courtyard is fake, but the actual purpose is to sneak attack them while the Cloudsoaring sect and Cloud Sky Sect are unaware of the situation. Even if we can't eliminate the two sects, it would at least greatly damage their vitality.

Fan Yu looked at Fan Xian and Xu Yin, then lowered his head and thought for a while before asking, "What confidence do you have? You must know that the Cloudsoaring sect and the Cloud Sky Sect are not people that you and I can resist."

Xing Yun smiled and said, "Sect Leader Fan, you don't have to worry about that. I've already convinced the people of the Intense Flaming Sect, and in the future I will go to the Confucian Academy. Even if the Cloudsoaring sect and the Cloud Sky Sect are stronger, they will still suffer a great loss of vitality."

Fan Yu thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, if you can persuade the people of the Confucian Monastery, then I am willing to cooperate with you."

When Xing Yun heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy. "Sect Master Fan, we have a deal."

Fan Yu nodded. "It's getting late. How about this? Fellow Xing, you should temporarily rest at the Golden Buddha Academy for the night. Tomorrow, you can go to the Confucian Academy."

When Xing Yun saw that it was indeed getting late outside, he nodded in agreement. Fan Yu then had his disciple Xu Ji take Xing Yun to the guest room to rest.

Not long after Xing Yun left, Lu Chen walked in from outside and cupped his fists towards Fan Yu: "Sect Leader Fan, many thanks for your cooperation earlier."

Actually, Lu Chen had overheard Xing Yun's words through the golden Buddha in the main hall, so he had used the mini golden Buddha to secretly send a voice transmission to Fan Yu, asking Fan Yu to agree to Xing Yun's request.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is too polite, but why did Fellow Daoist Lu let me agree to Xing Yun?" Fan Yu asked.

"Actually, it's to let the Devil Sect devote their energy to our Sect and the Cloud Sky Sect. Right, I wonder if the transfer array from the Golden Buddha Academy to the Monastery can still be used?" Lu Chen asked.

"This can still be used. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lu is going to the Confucian Monastery now and won't stay any longer?" Fan Yu asked.

"I won't disturb you any longer as time is pressing. After everything is settled, I'll invite the seniors to my Lingyun School to drink some of my tea." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Then I'll be troubling you." Fan Yu said with a smile.
