"Boom!"

Mu Jinyu's divine thought was unexpectedly engulfed by the magic flame.

"Ah!"

The excruciating pain of being scorched by the magic flame made Mu Jinyu cry out in agony.

"Bang!!"

Almost instantly after his scream, his divine thought was obliterated by the magic flame.

"Boom!"

However, after Mu Jinyu's divine thought was destroyed, things didn't end there. The magic flame summoned by the Buddhist Bell surged out of Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness and flowed into Mu Jinyu's Sea of Consciousness along the path of the divine thought.

It aimed to invade Mu Jinyu's soul in one fell swoop!

"Damn it!"

Mu Jinyu's face turned pale as he woke up from the piercing pain of his destroyed divine thought. Before he could curse in anger, he realized that the cluster of magic flames had already infiltrated his Sea of Consciousness.

Shocked and furious, he hurriedly calmed his mind and returned to his Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom boom!!"

Upon returning to his Sea of Consciousness, Mu Jinyu saw the violently burning magic flame rampaging with unstoppable might across his Sea of Consciousness.

Like a dry meadow catching a spark, it was instantaneously uncontrollable, setting the plains ablaze!

Its force was overwhelming!

Mu Jinyu was furious and terrified, not at all expecting the Buddhist Bell to provoke such a shocking upheaval!

Underestimating it, he ultimately fell into the trap!

Ignoring speculations whether it was Sheng Rulai or Peacock Ming King who plotted against him, his priority was to set up restrictions to suppress the demonic energy.

Mu Jinyu wasn't worried that after setting up such restrictions, even if his cultivation was sealed, he would have ways to overpower strong entities of the Fanxu Realm!

Yet before Mu Jinyu could set up those restrictions and hastily seal his own cultivation...

"Buzz!!"

The mystical little tree standing in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled slightly.

Its lush leaves rustled a few times, then bright green light scattered toward the overwhelming magic flame.

A startling scene unfolded.

Remarkably, the plant essence emitted by the tree wasn't incinerated by the threatening magic flame. Instead, it swallowed up the ferocious magic flame like a whale devouring its prey!

In a swoop, the magic flames and demonic energy infiltrating Mu Jinyu's Sea of Consciousness were completely swept away!

Had Mu Jinyu not still felt the fiery pain from the burning sensation in his Sea of Consciousness, he would have thought that just now was merely a hallucination.

"Buzz!"

The green light emitted by the mystical little tree cascaded over Mu Jinyu's Sea of Consciousness, instantly filling him with a sense of coolness and comfort, no longer bothered by the invasive magic flames.

Then, to Mu Jinyu's surprise, the mystical little tree proactively extended a branch and leaf, leaving his Sea of Consciousness and surging into Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness.

Once again, like a whale swallowing its prey, it absorbed all the pervasive demonic energy burning in Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness!

Only after consuming the last strip of demonic energy within Sheng Rulai did the verdant branch gradually leave Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness and return to Mu Jinyu's.

The continuously swaying branches and leaves of the mystical little tree then peacefully quieted down.

Meanwhile, Mu Jinyu, who took the risk of sending another divine thought into Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness to witness these changes, felt a mix of complex emotions and gratitude.

Once again, it was the mystical little tree that saved him.

Mu Jinyu felt that he ought to seriously reflect.

This time, after returning from Kunlun Ruins, he believed he had stepped into the mid Unity Realm Stage, and aside from his master with Void Breaking Realm cultivation, no one could subdue him on Earth, even with the revival of Spiritual Energy and its great potential for development. Yet, he hadn't even considered others as threats.

Consequently, this time, he nearly fell into the trap during Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere.

If it weren't for the mystical little tree, even pulling out various trump cards, he might have found a way to escape, but the eerie demonic energy entangling him would have made him suffer greatly.

Appreciatively and thoughtfully glancing at the mystical little tree, Mu Jinyu suddenly wanted to explore its origins—what exactly was this tree?

His Life Source Energy was formidable, yet faced with this demonic energy, he was helpless, while the mystical little tree initially seemed to find it tricky, unwilling to handle it, but when truly threatened, it swiftly dealt with the demonic energy effortlessly.

Mu Jinyu grew increasingly curious what kind of tree seedling this was.

He decided to investigate once this matter settled.

Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu stopped thinking further about the mystical little tree, opening his eyes slowly, gazing at Sheng Rulai, whose face was pale and expression bewildered.

His gaze was sharp, as if dissecting Sheng Rulai, to see if his heart was black, wondering if the recent upheaval was his doing!

"Dragon Master, what was that just now?"

At this moment, Sheng Rulai also regained his senses. His face was pale, as if recovering from a severe illness, his eyes were exhausted yet carried unconcealed joy and relief.

Though perplexed by the recent upheaval, ultimately, he was freed, no longer constantly threatened by falling into demonhood.

He guessed, perhaps the recent upheaval was orchestrated by Mu Jinyu?

Mu Jinyu remained silent, his gaze locked onto Sheng Rulai while extending his Divine Sense to focus on the unconscious Peacock Ming King, who had been knocked back, vomiting blood.

Who was behind this upheaval?!

Was it Sheng Rulai!

Or Peacock Ming King?

Or was it simply a coincidence?

Mu Jinyu stared into Sheng Rulai's eyes without acting impulsively.

Yet, Rexias, his father, was a loyal aide of Mu Jinyu. His clear eyes showed fatigue and relief, but Mu Jinyu couldn't see him being capable of calculating with such in-depth machinations.

"Buddha Head, could you open your Sea of Consciousness for me to inspect again?"

Mu Jinyu spoke in a calm and steady voice.

"Alright."

In truth, Sheng Rulai was also speculating in his heart. It seemed Mu Jinyu had encountered a problem earlier, though he didn't know what kind.

Grateful for Mu Jinyu's assistance, he didn't hesitate to agree.

He then let his guarded Sea of Consciousness open briefly.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu brought the Dragon Spear and Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, two Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, and once again entered Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness.

If Sheng Rulai dared to move recklessly, Mu Jinyu, shielded by the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, could directly use the Dragon Spear to pierce Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness!

Upon re-entering Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness.

Mu Jinyu noticed the erstwhile scene of overwhelming magic flames had vanished.

Sheng Rulai's Sea of Consciousness appeared as a world of brilliant golden light, flowing with Buddha's Light.

Standing in the center, Sheng Rulai's soul, under the protection of the Buddhist Bell, emanated a radiant jewel light, exuding a divine and serene aura.

No matter the appearance, he didn't seem like the one who plotted the earlier ambush.

Still, Mu Jinyu didn't let down his guard against Sheng Rulai. He took a deep look at the calm Buddhist Bell, then suppressed it with the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, preventing it from causing mischief, and began to employ Soul Searching on Sheng Rulai.

Indeed, Sheng Rulai's capability was only at the Divine Transformation Realm Fifth Layer.

With such strength, under Mu Jinyu's Soul Searching Technique, Sheng Rulai had no chance to conceal his secrets; all his actions would be laid bare, with nowhere to hide!
