The young girl walked slowly into the house, and immediately noticed the unmoving Thousand Buddha Child sitting in the chair.

“Village Chief, the little girl has placed the doll here.”

With a respectful expression, the girl placed the doll on the desk, and then stepped back out of the room.

Thousand Buddha Child was frantic, fire spewing from his mouth as he desperately blinked at the girl, but the command of the Heavenly God Doll was undoubtedly powerful, and the girl left the house without so much as lifting her head.

The room fell silent once again.

A few days later, the villagers found his corpse in the chief’s golden house; like the old village chief before him, he had starved to death.

In front of Thousand Buddha Temple.

The chaotic energy dissipated, and Thousand Buddha Child suddenly rose, breaking out in a cold sweat. It had been a long time since he felt something so real. The last time he underwent the test of the Golden Light Mirror was when he achieved his Golden Core, and he performed very well then.

For this, the Thousand Buddha Temple had rewarded him with a set of Buddhist Sect Cultivation Technique.

However, this time, it seemed it was not so easy to muddle through.

Glancing around, Master Xuan Ku was looking at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: “Thousand Buddha Child, how did the Illusionary Realm feel?”

“Elder Uncle, I…”

Thousand Buddha Child was pale as paper; he had misjudged. He had thought the key to the Illusionary Realm lay in that limitless drawing of items, but it turned out that the doll in his hand was the real cause of his moral downfall.

The doll represented desire, an intense need for control, to command everything.

“Thousand Buddha Child, you truly have opened this old monk’s eyes. You’ve broken just about every rule and precept in the Buddhist Sect.”

“The Illusionary Realm that I had designed for you reflects your heart. The item you drew would correspond to something pertaining to it. Your heart was very greedy, wanting to control everything; thus you drew a Heavenly God Doll that could make everyone in the village unconditionally obey you.”

“Under this desire for control, you repeatedly committed murder and transgressed against the precepts of lust. For your own selfish desires, you slaughtered a family of five, and in the end, you were devoured by your desires; you reaped the consequences of your actions. What do you have to say for yourself?”

Master Xuan Ku’s face was somber. Thousand Buddha Child, a high monk of the Buddhist Sect, had allowed darkness to take over his heart, truly a disgrace to Buddhism.

“Elder Uncle, the disciple was momentarily possessed. I beg for your mercy. The disciple is willing to reflect upon the wall for a hundred years!”

Thousand Buddha Child said in a fluster.

“Merely a hundred years of wall reflection cannot atone for the sins you’ve committed. Over the years, you’ve been corrupt, taking bribes, bullied the weak, harmed countless women, and for the sake of personal gain, you’ve framed many of your fellow cultivators. Mere reflection won’t suffice to offset your sins.”

“This old monk sentences you to the frontier. The Flesh Mountain has revived; you will defend there for a thousand years, contributing to the human race. If you do so, your past misdeeds will be erased.”

Master Xuan Ku spoke indifferently, as the current situation at the frontier was tense and high-end combat strength could not be wasted lightly.

“Thank you, Elder Uncle!”

Thousand Buddha Child felt a wave of relief in his heart, as long as he was not killed.

“Swear by your Taoist heart.”

Master Xuan Ku said.

Thousand Buddha Child’s heart, which had been slightly revived, sank. Swearing by his Taoist heart meant he really would have to defend the frontier for a thousand years, unable to make even the slightest move, until he died in battle.

He thought about fleeing but, seeing the group of experts around him, he dismissed the idea.

“I, Thousand Buddha Child, swear by my Taoist heart…”

Watching Thousand Buddha Child take the oath, Master Xuan Ku nodded and turned to Ling Xue’er, “How about it?”

“Not satisfied.”

Ling Xue’er rolled her eyes.

“The border situation is tense, and many squads have been redirected to gather troops; now is a time when every hand is needed. Although this disciple of the Thousand Buddha has committed many evils, he can still be put to good use. Supported by the oath of his daoist heart, I imagine he won’t stir up trouble.”

Master Xuan Ku said.

“Suit yourself, the forces of my Kingdom of Women are already stationed at the Southern Ming Frontier, ready to crush the Flesh Mountain at any moment. We don’t need the help of these Buddhist degenerates.”

Ling Xue’er spoke indifferently.

“So much the better. The disciple of the Thousand Buddha has been subdued, and now it’s your turn.”

Master Xuan Ku’s gaze shifted to the righteous crowd and the Buddhist cultivators.

The cultivators turned pale; if the disciple of the Thousand Buddha had been taken down, they feared they too would meet their end if they entered the Illusionary Realm.

“Great Master, please spare me!”

“Considering all the years I have devoted myself to the Thousand Buddha Temple, please spare my life!”

“Indeed, I am seventy-three this year and truly unable to battle anymore. I wish to retire from the martial world and from then on, never appear before the eyes of the living.”

Elder Monk Yuanjue’s face was bloodless as he knelt and begged for mercy.

Behind him, Monk Ling Jue was also trembling. This turn of events had ruined his prospects, and if he had to go through the Golden Light Mirror, his public persona might collapse, which for a Buddhist cultivator was unacceptable.

“No need for more words, this old monk aims to select the worthy. I will neither kill the wrong person nor let the guilty escape.”

Master Xuan Ku formed a seal spell with his hands, and the essence of chaos emerged, enveloping all the righteous individuals and monks from the Thousand Buddha Temple present.

In the void, lightning manifested; Master Xuan Ku was employing Buddhist Law to evolve the Great Divine Power, constructing an entire grand world.

Tens of thousands of cultivators were cast into the Illusionary Realm; this world had no preamble, it was directly a realm of wine ponds and flesh forests.

“This old monk has simply constructed a world of wine ponds and flesh forests based on what many cultivators harbor in their hearts, towards distinguishing those who truly have steadfast hearts.”

Master Xuan Ku said.

The scene gradually became clearer. It was a colossal pool filled with wine, where countless dancing girls swayed lightly in the water, their figures undulating.

Li Xiaobai and his companions blushed as they watched.

Su Mei’er’s face was so red it looked as though it might bleed, she cursed loudly, “This baldy is up to no good either!”

Hehuan Zi giggled, “Who would have thought that Master Xuan Ku is also a man of passion, actually indulging in such tastes; truly a role model for us!”

Ling Xue’er said, “The Buddhist Sects are indeed insincere, with crooked beams and askew pillars!”

“Amitabha, this is the fastest way to select, my heart holds no wicked thoughts, and gazing upon these will cause me no discomfort. If you all cannot accept this, you may turn away.”

Master Xuan Ku spoke calmly, his eyes unwavering as he stared at the giant scene in the void.

Master Xuan Bei also chuckled, wearing a knowing expression and likewise stared unblinking at the scene.

Li Xiaobai lit a Huazi, took a fierce puff, and forcibly settled his nerves.

Cultivators in the scene started to go mad, and faced with the wine ponds and flesh forests, they quickly lost themselves, turning thoroughly into demons, howling and laughing maniacally.

As their inner sense and judgment collapsed, monstrous figures burst from their hearts, showing their fangs and claws, making grotesque faces as they danced with the dancing girls.

In the midst of a mad dance with a host of demons, there was still a small group of people who maintained a clear mind, confronting the beauty and alcohol with steadfastness akin to mountains. Some cultivators even deliberately cut their arms and legs, using the pain to stimulate their brains to stay alert.

Li Xiaobai looked surprised, as among these people, there were indeed some genuine gentlemen.

Liaowang watched the indulgent scene in the void, slowly shaking his head, “They are all bewitching.”

Ji Wuqing laughed out loud, “Kikiki, all of them are old lechers!”
