The world of the Heavenly Book collapsed, but a corner of it fell from the sky, marking the end of the battle for the Heavenly Book. At that time, the momentum of the fall was so powerful that the waves almost overturned all the ships of the Righteous Sky Alliance. But after investigation, they found that the flow of the river was the same as usual, and the remains of the world of the Heavenly Book had melted into the water like bubbles, as if it was just a dream and never existed.
Ying Feiyang was also confused about this, and speculated, "I don't know what exactly happened in the world of the Heavenly Book, but according to the shape of the enchantment, it should be related to the Buddha Heart Sarira …"
"Really … seems like I thought the same." Su Miaoyin's eyes drooped, and she fell into deep thought, and her knuckles unconsciously knocked on the table.
"Dong — dong — dong —" As the rhythm of the knocking became faster and faster, Su Miaoyin's eyes became more and more clear. She suddenly thought of something and said to herself, "It starts from the Buddha Heart … and ends at the Buddha Heart Sarira, the Buddha Heart Zen Temple …"
"Prison of the Heart!" Su Miaoyin's eyes suddenly opened, and she cried out in surprise. Her eyes suddenly became frighteningly bright.

"Prison of the Heart!"
In the main cabin of another ship, Mu Zixuan blurted out these four words without any warning, which shocked Ce Tianji. The boiling tea was poured on his hand, and he shook his hand in pain while scolding, "My master, what big secret did you find that you can't say slowly? I'm old, and I can't stand your surprise."
Mu Zixuan smiled apologetically, and said, "Nothing. I just thought of the Heavenly Book this time, and thought of the Prison of the Heart under the Buddha Heart Zen Temple."
"This … this is completely unrelated, and yet you can think of the same thing. Ai, pity this great immortal who can pinch and calculate good hand ah!" He thought he could find out some big secret, but it was just a wild imagination. Ce Tianji immediately felt that it was not worth it for his hand to be scalded.
Ce Tianji naturally knew about the existence of the Prison of the Heart. As the saying goes, everything in the world has its own principles. Pure and turbid oppose each other, and holy and evil coexist. Wherever a poisonous snake appears, there must be an antidote within a hundred steps. Just like in the Kunlun Mountain where the pure Qi of the world rested, there was a deep abyss that connected to the Ghost Realm. At the supreme place of Buddhism, beneath the sacred and dignified Buddhist Heart Monastery was similarly suppressed an extremely filthy and muddy Heart Prison.
Speaking of prisons, Si Tiantai also had a God-imprisoning Prison, which was specially set up to imprison evil cultivators and murderers who relied on their cultivation to commit crimes in Chang 'an and Luoyang. Especially after Mu Zixuan became the commander of Si Tiantai, the name of God Imprisoning Prison became even more dreadful. Many famous people were stuffed into the prison, so when practitioners who were used to being casual came to the foot of the Emperor, they had to carefully consider whether their behavior was in line with the rules.
But even so, compared to the Heart Prison, the God Binding Prison was far inferior.
The Heart Prison of the Heart was one of the most mysterious places in the world. It was said that it was a naturally formed hole hundreds of feet deep in the ground. The hole was filled with poisonous and turbid air, and it was also shaped like a huge heart, so it was called the Heart Prison of the Heart. Although there was such a saying, no one could prove what the hole actually looked like.
They only knew that the turbid air in it could corrode cultivation, so it was used by the Buddhist Heart Monastery as a prison to imprison evil people. At first, it was only used to imprison the scum of Buddhism. Later, as the Buddhist Heart Monastery rose in the cultivation world, it was faintly becoming the number one sect of the Righteous Path. Many evil cultivators and murderers who were captured by other sects but were not directly executed for various reasons were also sent to the Heart Prison, so that they could listen to the teachings of Buddhism day and night under the Buddhist Heart Monastery and "turn over a new leaf" as soon as possible. After a long time, the Heart Prison of the Heart had gradually evolved into a public prison in the Tongtian Path.
The prison had always been a place where many things happened. The people inside wanted to escape, and the people outside wanted to break the prison. But the Heart Prison was guarded by the Prison Suppressing King Ming, and the Holy Buddha was on the outside. It could be said to be impregnable. "Always in the Sky" Lu Tianlan once escaped from Si Tiantai's God Binding Prison. But she tried to enter the Heart Prison of the Heart Prison several times, but she couldn't even get close to the prison door. Just from this point, the difference could be seen.
So far, no one had ever heard of anyone escaping after entering the Heart Prison of the Heart Prison. Therefore, there were many opinions about how mysterious this prison was, but there was no conclusion.
It was just that Ce Tianji didn't want to get involved in such an unlucky place like the prison. He also thought that he was a small character. Even if he committed a crime, he wouldn't even have the right to enter the Buddhist Heart Monastery and would be chopped into pieces. So he wasn't interested.
Mu Zixuan shook her head and said, "Uncle Ce, you are wrong. How can there be no connection between the two? Don't forget, the earliest Qi of Tian Shu was condensed in the Heart Prison of the Heart Prison. Because it was obstructed by the Buddhist Heart Monastery's Eight Protector statues when it came into being, it was divided into eight. That's why the Eight Tian Shu Battle happened."
Ce Tianji still couldn't get interested and said, "Then, what does it mean?"
"The Buddhist Heart Monastery is named after the Buddhist Heart. The most important thing in the Tian Shu Battle was the Buddhist Heart Sarira. When the Tian Shu world collapsed, a heart-shaped enchantment protected the remaining place. It was said that the shape of the Heart Prison of the Heart Prison was also a huge heart-shaped hole. The earliest Qi of Tian Shu was condensed in the Heart Prison of the Heart Prison … Uncle Ce, don't you think there are a lot of coincidences?"
Ce Tianji felt dizzy and couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader, don't beat around the bush. If you have any conjectures, just say it."
Mu Zixuan poured a cup of cooled tea. After moistening her throat, she said seriously, "This time, the Tian Shu Battle is a preset story. My Junior Brother and the others are playing the role of the characters in the story. But is this story really fabricated out of thin air? According to my conjecture, I'm afraid it isn't so. The stories in the Tian Shu are not groundless. Maybe it really happened before, and it's a repeat of the past! "
These words were really unimaginable. Ce Tianji heard it and immediately became spirited. He was stunned for a moment, then he denied in disbelief, "It happened before? How is it possible? No matter the race or the landscape in the book, there is no corresponding place in reality. Moreover, the book is about the end of the world. If it really happened before, how could we still exist after the end of the world? "
Mu Zixuan gently swirled the tea in her hand and said, "The Buddhists say that one grain of sand is heaven and earth, one leaf is Buddha. Perhaps there are three thousand worlds in a cup of tea. I only said it happened before, but I didn't say it happened in our world."
Ce Tianji snorted, "What three thousand worlds? It's just a mysterious theory of Buddhism. Who has ever seen it with their own eyes?"
Mu Zixuan shook her head and said, "Even though there are elements of mystery, it's not completely unreasonable. Uncle Ce, maybe you and I have seen it before. There are many big and small caves in the Tang Empire. It's just that because the caves are connected to the land of the nine prefectures, we have never separated them. Actually, since there are caves with their own sun and moon, and caves with different speed of light, naturally, there could be caves that are separated from the land of the nine prefectures. Then, to us, isn't it equivalent to another world?"
Ce Tianji didn't even think of such a statement, let alone hearing it. He was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Mu Zixuan continued, "If that's the case, maybe a long time ago, there really was a world like the one described in the Tomes of Arcane. Then, just like what was recorded in the Tomes of Arcane, the living beings of our world came to that world for some reason. This arrival, to that world, was equivalent to the invasion of the Sky Demon. The final result was the same as what happened in the Tomes of Arcane. Because of the Sky Demon's invasion, the Buddha's light was extinguished, and the end of the world came. That world finally collapsed and was destroyed. However, the Buddha's Heart Sarira that Buddha left behind played its role at the last moment and formed a Buddha's heart shaped boundary to protect the remnants of the world. "
"That remnant world drifted about in the cracks of time and space. In the end, it was like karma that was formed by nature, and it embedded itself into our world. A heart shaped barrier, a heart shaped hole, it formed precisely the Heart Prison of Oblivion! This time, the Tomes of Arcane was formed in the Prison of the Heart. What the Tomes of Arcane repeated was the cause of the Prison of the Heart. "
After saying this, Mu Zixuan spread her hands and flaunted, "Look, after my incisive explanation, everything makes sense. All the coincidences are not mere coincidences, but predetermined cause and effect."
Ce Tianji's mouth was still wide open. He couldn't bear to see someone else more eloquent than him, a great fortune teller. Ce Tianji instinctively wanted to argue, but he found that after this bold and imaginative explanation, everything really made sense.
In the end, Ce Tianji could only gulp down two mouthfuls of water. "Even if you really guessed everything correctly, what's the use?"
Mu Zixuan laughed and answered, "Cause and effect. If that's the case, then there's a great mystery in the Prison of the Heart. There's a lot of room for us to make use of."
Ce Tianji poured cold water on her, "Headmaster, do you need me to remind you? Instead of thinking about how to deal with Buddha Heart Zen Temple in the future, we should first think about the enemy in front of us. You also know the news about Wei Wushuang from Qingcheng Mountain. If we let Wei Wushuang recover this time, then everything we did before will be in vain. And that old guy Yue Cangqiong, with his personality, willingly joining the Righteous Sky Alliance, he must also be eyeing the position of the alliance leader. In addition to the Six Dao Evil Destroyer, after this incident, our cooperation with the Six Dao Evil Destroyer is coming to an end. If Di Lingtian isn't completely dead, it'll only be a few days before he completely falls out with us … "
Ce Tianji originally just wanted to argue, but after counting with his fingers, the more he counted, the more he felt that the situation wasn't good. It could even be said that they were in imminent danger. He couldn't help but say with a trembling voice, "Headmaster … the situation seems to be extremely disadvantageous to us."
Mu Zixuan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Alright, alright, Senior Uncle Ce, you're an experienced person. Don't act like you've never seen the world. Don't forget, the most important bargaining chip is already in our hands."
As Mu Zixuan spoke, he signaled with his eyes to the box that was placed on the right side of the table and within his protection range.
"This half of the Tomes of Arcane?" Ce Tianji didn't understand.
"Yes, with it, all the key items have been gathered. It's time for the decisive battle." Mu Zixuan drank the tea in one gulp, wiped his mouth and put the teacup on the table, making a crisp sound, embellishing his resolute words.
