Xiao Wangyue's expression was extremely solemn as he spoke. In fact, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Because of this, Luo Xiu's impression of him improved significantly.
In his opinion, the fact that this person did not take the opportunity to make excessive demands was the greatest help to Luo Xiu. Just as he had said, he did not want to waste time here. After all, as long as the problem with his body remained unresolved, he needed to find more of the God Body Refinement Art as soon as possible so that the system could analyze it and find a way to resolve his problem.
After exchanging some more information with the two of them, Luo Xiu bid farewell to the patriarch of the Ji family and the master of the Divine Sword Sect. Time was of the essence and he could not afford to waste any time. Furthermore, Luo Xiu was afraid of any unforeseen circumstances, so he headed straight for the Four Way Region. As he needed to pass through the Sacred Buddha Sect to get to the Four Way Region, Luo Xiu took the opportunity to obtain a batch of goods from the Divine Sword Sect and disguised himself as a merchant. This was the only way to go to the Four Way Region without standing out.
Along the way, Luo Xiu had seen too many cultivators. There were those who had good intentions and those who had ill intentions. At this moment, he was in this world. He could clearly feel that as his understanding of this world deepened, he could realize that his current situation was all caused by himself. Blaming the heavens and blaming others would not solve the problem.
More importantly, he knew that he did not possess the qualifications to challenge any organisation in this world. As a result, since Luo Xiu had received news that he could buy the God Body Refinement Art from the Four Way Trading Company with spirit stones, Luo Xiu could not give up on this opportunity for the sake of his body.
This was because he knew very well that if he could use spirit stones to resolve the problem in his body, as well as the drawback of relying too much on the water of the Heavenspan River, Luo Xiu would not hesitate at all. With his current strength, he did not know how powerful his cultivation would be if he could really break free from his dependence on the water of the Heavenspan River.
At this moment, to Luo Xiu, he could feel the soul force and physical strength in his body increasing at every moment. The quality of his body was increasing at the same time. This situation had been going on for three to four years. After such a long time, Luo Xiu's physical strength was almost twice as strong as before. Even his soul was twice as strong as before. There was no need to talk about the other changes in his body.
As long as he could resolve the strange power in his body, as well as the additional shadow in his soul, Luo Xiu was certain that his future would be bright. More importantly, he had the innate Hong Meng Purple Qi in his body. With this heaven-defying spiritual item in his body, he could cross the Saint Realm in a single step and directly enter the supreme Monarch Realm.
For Luo Xiu, no matter how well-prepared he was, he still felt that he was not prepared enough after entering the Sacred Buddha Sect. Along the way, Luo Xiu encountered many checks. Even though he paid a price to pass through these checkpoints, he could still feel the Sacred Buddha Sect's shamelessness. What made Luo Xiu feel even more disgusted was the way the Sacred Buddha Sect governed the world. They were simply raising everyone like cattle and sheep. They only needed the power of faith from these cattle and sheep. As for the rest, they didn't care about the lives of the common people at all.
There were even some extreme fellows who, in order to obtain even purer faith, would secretly take action, causing the living environment of people to become even worse. Such despicable methods simply caused Luo Xiu to feel shocked.
One had to know that ever since he had arrived at the Sky Penetrating Cascade, he had never seen anything like a desert on any of the planets. However, in the star domain controlled by the Sacred Buddha Sect, deserts were a common sight. Almost all of the 320 planets controlled by the Sacred Buddha Sect were deserts. The entire world was like this. It was clear how shameless the Sacred Buddha Sect was in order to obtain more power of faith.
Compared to these shameless people of the Sacred Buddha Sect, Luo Xiu actually admired the way the Divine Sword Sect handled things. The people of the Divine Sword Sect were simply the moral standard of the Cultivation World. Although the Sacred Buddha Sect had a reputation of being a virtuous senior monk, they were actually doing extremely despicable things in secret. While Luo Xiu felt extremely ashamed, he was also shocked by the bottom line of these people. They were simply inhumane.
If Luo Xiu had been surprised that the people of the Divine Sword Sect were so serious about the Sacred Buddha Sect's invasion, Luo Xiu was no longer curious after seeing how the Sacred Buddha Sect controlled the people they controlled.
At the same time, he also realized that he really hadn't been overly involved in this matter. As a result, he actually felt a little ashamed. Luo Xiu didn't have a good impression of the Sacred Buddha Sect. Therefore, he had hurried along at his fastest speed. He only wanted to pass through the planets controlled by the Sacred Buddha Sect as soon as possible and reach the Four Way Territory as soon as possible.
Along the way, Luo Xiu also saw a lot of extremely arrogant scenes. The senior monks of the Sacred Buddha Sect were even more shameless than Luo Xiu had imagined. Although the Sacred Buddha Sect was called the Sacred Buddha Sect, it was actually a genuine demonic sect. The degree of ruthlessness in their actions was even more shocking than the true demonic sects.
Their way of doing things was simply unscrupulous. It was almost to the extent that both men and gods would be angered. The 320 planets controlled by the Sacred Buddha Sect were filled with scenes of yellow sand everywhere. This was because only a harsh environment could cultivate such fanatical believers. Therefore, when Luo Xiu saw how unscrupulous the people of the Sacred Buddha Sect were, he knew that he was a little embarrassed that he hadn't helped the Divine Sword Sect previously.
However, the current situation didn't allow him to consider anything else. Now, Luo Xiu was facing the biggest calamity of his life. He was surrounded by many disciples of the Sacred Buddha Sect. Moreover, the three people leading them were Sage experts with the same cultivation as him. At this moment, Luo Xiu had to avoid relying too much on the water of the Sky Penetrating Cascade and aggravating his body's problems. Therefore, he sealed most of the power in his body in order to reduce the consumption of his body. Therefore, his outward appearance showed that he had just broken through to the Sage Realm and could fall below the Sage Realm at any time. Therefore, when more than ten people of the Sacred Buddha Sect wanted to deal with him, Luo Xiu was actually very helpless. These people were so bold and confident that they could pinch a soft persimmon. Luo Xiu was simply amazed.
"Masters, why are you blocking the path of the Old Man?"
Luo Xiu was prepared to use peaceful means before resorting to force. Therefore, he sincerely cupped his hands to the crowd and performed a Buddhist etiquette. Then, he asked in an incomparably calm tone.
Along the way, it wasn't that he hadn't seen other cultivators, but no one had made things difficult for him. The people of the Sacred Buddha Sect were only eyeing him covetously. Luo Xiu realized that he might have given himself away somewhere. He even suspected that he was unlucky to be targeted because of his weak cultivation.
"Haha, Benefactor, you're too courteous. The reason why we're stopping you is to invite you to our Great Bright Temple. Our temple's abbot is looking for you. If you agree, please come with us!" The leader of the group, a bald monk in the intermediate stage of the Saint Realm, looked at Luo Xiu and said in a leisurely tone.
Hearing these words, Luo Xiu could not help but be stunned at this moment. Clearly, he did not expect these monks to say such words. More importantly, to Luo Xiu, these people did not seem to be deliberately looking for trouble with him. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for him. This caused Luo Xiu to be somewhat dumbfounded for a moment.
More importantly, Luo Xiu could clearly feel that these monks had already surrounded him. As long as he dared to say no, these people would join forces and attack him. This made Luo Xiu hesitate. Of course, he knew what kind of place the Great Bright Temple was. That was why he was hesitating.
On every planet controlled by the Sacred Buddhist Sect, there was a Great Bright Temple. The monks in the Great Bright Temple all had powerful cultivations. This was because that was the only place where they could refine the power of faith generated by fanatics. Therefore, to Luo Xiu, entering that place was no different from a lamb entering a tiger's den. What made him feel even more incredulous was that these monks were acting so confidently. It was obvious that they thought that they could defeat Luo Xiu. However, for some unknown reason, the way these monks handled things really made Luo Xiu unhappy.
"Masters, I still have important matters to attend to. I need to hurry to the Square Trading Firm as soon as possible. The reason for this is that someone in my family is seriously injured and urgently needs something from the Square Trading Firm to save his life. Therefore, I can't be delayed on the way. Please forgive me, Masters. After I finish my business and save my junior's life, I will pay you a visit.
What do you think? "Luo Xiu said this to test the waters. He knew very well that he had to be very careful and wouldn't leave any traces behind. Therefore, he wanted to see what these monks were planning by stopping him.
"Hehe, this isn't up to you, Benefactor. I only know that my temple's abbot has ordered me to invite you over. As for how you communicate with my temple's abbot, that's up to you. As for your junior, you can't prove that you're telling the truth. Therefore, it's better for everyone to be friendly. What do you think?"
Seeing Luo Xiu's evasive words, the leading monk's face turned cold and a faint black light appeared on his face. This made Luo Xiu somewhat speechless. The arrogance of these monks was really unexpected.
They couldn't wait to attack him. Luo Xiu also understood the style of these monks. He knew that this trip to the Guangming Temple was imperative. For him, since he had already been exposed, he didn't care about anything else.
For Luo Xiu at this moment, if he could really solve his own problem, then it would be fine. But if he couldn't, then the consequences of this matter would be really bad.
Moreover, at this moment, he also wanted to keep the peace. He didn't want to fight with these monks in their base camp. Not to mention whether he could defeat them, just the endless support of experts was already an incomparable headache.
"Masters, what do you want? If it's convenient, please tell me. Old Man, I do have something important to say three times. I need to make a trip to the Square Trading Company. Of course, if you have the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir that I need, then Old Man wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. However, your Sacred Buddha Sect doesn't seem to have this kind of elixir, right?"
Shaking his head, Luo Xiu's gaze became resolute and decisive. Since things had already reached this stage, even if he wanted to make peace, Luo Xiu knew that he had to make the first move when he saw that the group of monks in front of him did not want to bother with him. He did not want to return to the Great Light Temple with this group of people. Putting aside whether or not he could defeat them, he could not afford to waste time.
When the dozen people opposite him heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. Then, all of them stretched out their hands and took out the weapons in their bodies. What was even more strange was that six of them directly formed a formation and surrounded Luo Xiu in the middle. Seeing this, Luo Xiu didn't panic at all. Energy flashed in his hands and a violent force flowed all over his body. When the seal was undone, it directly formed two special vortexes in his body. At the same time, the vortexes continuously spewed out violent energy.
At this moment, the aura around Luo Xiu's body skyrocketed. His entire being was like a god that had descended to the mortal world. He directly sent the six monks that surrounded him flying. Of course, at the same time that he sent these people flying, the violent energy also invaded their bodies without holding back, shattering their internal organs and mercilessly ending their lives.
At this moment, the few people from the Sacred Buddhist Sect on the opposite side were astonished. Some of them had extremely ugly expressions. Seeing how ruthless Luo Xiu was, they didn't waste any time and rushed towards Luo Xiu as if they were facing death. The remaining seven people weren't ordinary people. With the seven of them joining forces, Luo Xiu didn't even have a chance to retaliate. He could only be attacked in a sorry state and dodge everywhere. He looked extremely miserable. Even Luo Xiu could feel the cold murderous aura from the person who was commanding the battle in front of him.
Luo Xiu was entangled with these people and was unable to break free from their encirclement. He clenched his teeth and activated the secret technique in his body. The berserk energy was completely released by him, and the long sword in his hand trembled from time to time. The terrifying lightning that was released from the sword directly swept through all the enemies in the field.
At this moment, Luo Xiu's strength was fully unleashed. He only wanted to get rid of this group of eyesores in the shortest amount of time possible and then leave this place. Because he was very clear that if he continued to waste time with these people, there would be no benefits at all. It was even possible that he would be drawn into an even larger whirlpool because of this. So, at the first moment he realized the severity of the problem, Luo Xiu practically used all of his strength and completely exploded.
