Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Those great families would destroy the soul plates of Robe Ghosts."

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, "So, your Broken Robe can’t even compare to those of the Reincarnation Temple. Those monks only care about their reputation. If those masters are too aggressive, they could drop everything and tear their masks off,

but your Broken Robes are really no match—your ghostly lives are still in the hands of the Six Great Families.

"Who says not?" Tiancan Monk sighed.

Zhou Xuan then said, "Don’t just sigh. I’ll teach you a trick. Mobilize your Robe Ghosts, launch a swift attack on the Six Great Families, and seize all those soul plates,

then wouldn’t your lives be in your own hands? Why call those rich families ’masters’? Call them ’worthless scum.’"

The Eternal Life Sect Leader gathered around and said to Zhou Xuan, "Master, you may not know, but those Six Great Families aren’t just wealthy; they have capable people in their clans."

"What kind of talented people?"

Zhou Xuan inquired.

"Every state has its own Human World Guardian. Ping Shui Prefecture needs no more description—that is the Zhou Family’s Nuo God,

Mingjiang Prefecture used to have the ’Star Covering’,

Snow Plain Prefecture also has one. These guardians of the human world all possess extraordinarily high Taoist skills. Can the Robe Ghosts grab those soul plates? Even if Tiancan himself takes the field, he might not win."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan asked, "Do you mean—there are Human World Guardians within those Six Great Families as well?"

"Naturally, there are."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader nodded lightly.

As the conversation reached this point, the door suddenly creaked open.

Ning Yu bowed and approached Zhou Xuan, saying, "Mr. Zhou, I’ve already communicated with ’Wu Cang’; you may enter the tower to observe."

"All right."

Zhou Xuan took steps forward to enter the tower,

and Ning Yu carefully served by Zhou Xuan’s side, saying, "Mr. Zhou, this should be your first visit to Snow Plain Prefecture, right?"

"Hmm, it’s the second time."

Zhou Xuan said.

The first time he came to Snow Plain Prefecture was when he engaged in the ’War Without Distance’ with Mr. Feng. Overnight, he crossed five states and ended up capturing Mr. Feng in Snow Plain Prefecture.

Ning Yu nodded and said, "So you haven’t visited often. Mr. Zhou, I, a little monk, offer a piece of advice: Each state has its own customs,

and Snow Plain Prefecture has its own customs. While you’re in our state, try... I mean, try not to discuss those six masters."

Zhou Xuan’s eyes narrowed involuntarily: "Ning Yu, are you so addicted to being a servant? In this barren wilderness, we talk a bit about those great masters, and you advise me to keep quiet?"

"Do not discuss the affairs of the great masters; follow the customs when you arrive."

Ning Yu seemed to have heard something ’very serious’ and stopped performing Buddhist rites, opting instead to make secular gestures, continuously bowing and saluting.

However, he wasn’t bowing towards Zhou Xuan but towards the door of the Heavenly Spirit Tower.

Inside the Heavenly Spirit Tower, there is something peculiar, which Ning Yu refers to as ’Wu Cang.’

Now, Ning Yu’s comical plea clearly indicated he was begging ’Wu Cang’ to calm its anger.

Zhou Xuan discerned that the tower’s guardian, ’Wu Cang,’ was not a monk of the Reincarnation Temple but someone from the Six Great Families.

His previous comments might have angered ’Wu Cang.’

"Ooo...ooo...ooo..."

A gusting sound erupted from within the tower; though it was a howl, the tone was calm, and the ’Wu Cang’ within wasn’t angry.

Only then did Ning Yu breathe a sigh of relief, extremely cautiously saying to Zhou Xuan, "Mr. Zhou, there are truly no wild mountains in Snow Plain; you must be cautious in your words; walls have ears."

"Hmph, a good servant."

Zhou Xuan snorted coldly, carrying the already asleep Zhao Wuya, striding into the Buddha Tower.

The Buddha Tower has seven floors; the Heavenly Spirit Magical Artifact infused with Buddha energy is naturally on the top floor.

The other six floors contain no scriptures, no furniture or items; instead, there are only paintings upon paintings,

the content of which Zhou Xuan found extremely bizarre.

The first floor’s paintings depict a group of monks worshipping a Five-Colored Divine Ox,

and after the Divine Ox received the venerations, the monks killed it and skinned it.

The second floor’s paintings show the monks cutting the removed hide into extremely thin, long strips,

they circled these leather strips around the border of the Great Snow Mountain,

and overnight, a giant Buddha palm appeared within the entire snow mountain.

The following floors depict the Buddha palm growing into a gigantic form, attracting countless people to worship and make pilgrimage.

After Zhou Xuan finished viewing the six floors’ paintings, he asked Ning Yu, "What do these paintings mean?"

"What’s recorded in the paintings is the Genesis of our Snow Plain Prefecture—it is the legend of the Ancient Buddha’s descent..."

Ning Yu responded softly, fearing to startle the ’Wu Cang’ within the tower...
