In the deepest part of the dark dungeon, a thick stone door blocked the end of the dungeon.
The sound of water dripping could be heard clearly.
Xuan Zhen took out a key and opened the door.
The surrounding torches kept the room from being too dark.
Bo Fan looked in front of him and saw an old man with nine iron chains on his body, piercing through his shoulder blades, four limbs, neck, and ankles.
Every single chain was made of pitch-black metal and emitted a cold aura!
"Nine Mysterious Lock?!" Bo Fan looked at Xuan Zhen in shock, his face full of questions.
Xuan Zhen shook his head, "It's not me who wants to use the Nine Mysterious Lock on him. It's Living Buddha's request."
"Ah?" Bo Fan was even more shocked.
At this moment, the old man who was tightly bound by the Nine Mysterious Lock raised his head slightly. His eyes were already festering and his body was emaciated. He looked like he only had one breath left.
"Senior Living Buddha …" Xuan Zhen called out.
Living Buddha took a deep breath and said in a weak voice, "City Lord, you've brought people here."
"Senior Living Buddha, do you want me to release you first …" Xuan Zhen couldn't bear it.
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Living Buddha extremely excited. He shook the chains with force, "No! Don't release me! Not even for a moment! "
"I've already revealed Heaven's secret and will be punished by Heaven. Only the Nine Mysterious Lock can keep me alive!"
Bo Fan was even more shocked. What did Living Buddha do to deserve such torture?!
"Senior Living Buddha, Senior Bo was my master's good friend when he was alive. He's also my mentor and friend. He's trustworthy." Xuan Zhen said.
"En, I know. This person's aura is peaceful and he's broad-minded." Living Buddha said weakly, as if every word took a lot of effort, "Among his disciples, there's one who can take on a heavy responsibility!"
Bo Fan was perturbed and asked, "Senior Living Buddha, what are you trying to tell me? Who's the disciple you're talking about? What do you want him to do? "
Living Buddha took a deep breath and looked up at the starry sky outside the window.
"Calamity starts in Sacred Mountain. Spiritual energy awakens. Calamity descends. All races will be exterminated!"
"Seeking answers from Heaven, Heaven doesn't speak. Immortals don't speak. There's no solution to this divination!"
"Half a year ago, I observed Heaven's secret and found out that calamity starts in Sacred Mountain. As expected, Sacred Mountain's spiritual energy had erupted. This divination is true!"
Bo Fan sucked in a cold breath.
The Living Buddha was one of the top experts of the Fifth Heaven and should be ranked in the top ten! It was precisely because of this that people like Xuan Zhen and Bo Fan were in awe of him.
The Living Buddha was a Dual Cultivation Job, but his job was very interesting. One of the Dual Cultivation Jobs was a monk's fourth job transition job, Heavenly Buddha. This was nothing special.
The key was his other profession, the Oracle!
Oracles originally didn't have any fighting power, but if Oracles were a dual profession, then it would be the most terrifying profession!
How terrifying was a person who could predict your next move at all times?!
And the reason why the Living Buddha was called the Living Buddha was because of his superb prediction ability. It could even be said that his identity as an oracle had surpassed his identity as a Heavenly Buddha!
However, he had predicted this terrifying prophecy.
An inexplicably ominous divination! What was even more frightening was that part of this divination had already started to come true!
A month ago, the Spirit Qi of the Holy Mountain really recovered!
Would the following divination come true? Based on the Living Buddha's ability to predict and the results of the previous divination, it was impossible for it to be fake!
Perhaps the reason why a famous expert like the Living Buddha would appear in a small place like Wu Bangcheng was to prove his divination!
For Living Buddha to not believe in his own prophecy, how terrifying was this prophecy!
"This, this, this …" Bo Fan's hands trembled, "Senior Living Buddha, is this divination really unsolvable?"
"Unsolvable!" Living Buddha said.
"Then, then aren't we just waiting for death? Oh right, didn't you say that one of my disciples could take on a heavy responsibility? Isn't there a solution? "
The Living Buddha sneered, "I used the Nüwa Heavenly Array to deduce and found that the eighty-one solutions to this divination were all blocked, which means this divination is unsolvable!"
"However, although this divination is unsolvable, what I can't understand is that there are eighty-two possibilities for this divination's development! And the last possibility, I can't see it clearly no matter what! "
"You can't see it clearly?"
"Yes, I can't see it clearly!" The Living Buddha said with certainty, "But whether this possibility can solve this catastrophe, I don't know …"
"This matter concerns the survival of thousands of races. Although I'm not a saint, I know that it's a hundred times more difficult for humans to reach the Fifth Layer of Heaven compared to other races. If the Fifth Layer of Heaven encounters a Heavenly Tribulation, the human race will have no successor, which could lead to the extinction of the human race!"
There was no need for the Living Buddha to explain this point. They were all from the human race and understood the human race's situation the best.
Just like the demon race, they started from the Fourth Layer of Heaven, but the human race climbed up from the First Layer of Heaven. Many of them had to go through the hard work of their families to reach where they were today.
If all races at the Fifth Layer of Heaven were to be wiped out, it would be a fatal blow to the human race!
"In my current situation, I don't have the strength to investigate it personally. The Heavenly Mystery Lock can still protect me for a while. I want to see the outcome of this divination with my own eyes."
"Bo Fan, one of your disciples is called Luochen. Xuan Zhen recommended this person to me, saying that this person has a calm mind and good strength. He's one of the most promising newcomers in the Sacred Mountain."
"He's also a warrior monk, which is also very important. If you agree, I want to take him as my disciple!"
Bo Fan finally understood that the Living Buddha wanted Luochen to help him move around outside.
Xuan Zhen, this guy, the so-called martial arts competition for marriage was just a cover. His real purpose was to select candidates for this mission!
Sure enough, although this guy was a martial arts fanatic, it was impossible for him to become the city lord of Wu Bangcheng without any schemes!
Although Luochen took the initiative to admit defeat in the battle with Nameless, it was impossible for an expert like Xuan Zhen not to see through the strength and calmness he displayed. Moreover, he and the Living Buddha were both warrior monks, so it was convenient for them to pass on their knowledge.
"Senior Living Buddha, if Luochen has such an opportunity, I naturally won't object. Besides, this is a matter of great importance. If Luochen can help senior solve the divination, Bo Fan will fully support it!"
…
After returning from the dungeon, Bo Fan didn't speak until he returned to Xuan Zhen's room.
"Senior Bo, you didn't say a word on the way back. You made me very nervous." Xuan Zhen looked at Bo Fan with a smile.
"You stinking brat …" Bo Fan shook his head. This brat recommended Luochen without informing him. It was more or less stealing the limelight.
But then again, this matter was too serious. His opinion wasn't that important.
"You really don't speak a word of truth."
Xuan Zhen hurriedly apologized, "Senior Bo, I didn't dare to say. I've been on tenterhooks all day with such an ancestor at home! Senior Living Buddha said that only the three of us know about this. I didn't even tell Xuan Lan! "
"I'm just waiting for Senior Living Buddha to tell me that I can report to my superiors. Only then will I be free."
Bo Fan shook his head. Xuan Zhen's words weren't wrong.
To be able to obtain the inheritance of the Living Buddha was a great opportunity for Luochen. Thinking of this, Bo Fan didn't pursue the matter any further.
"Sigh, but I don't understand why you didn't recommend Nameless. He seems to have the skills of a warrior monk."
Xuan Zhen shook his head, "I suspect that the revival of spiritual qi in the Heavenly Lake is related to this Nameless. Although I can't confirm whether he is the so-called 'Heaven's Calamity', his origin is unknown. He doesn't belong to any sect. His actions are both righteous and evil. Why would I recommend him?"
Bo Fan immediately got angry, "Is this a reason? You're only responsible for recommending. It's up to Senior Living Buddha to decide! If you don't tell me the truth, I'm going to flip out! "
"Aiya, Senior Bo, I'll say it, I'll say it!" Xuan Zhen hurriedly said, "I really can't hide anything from you!"
"Actually, I definitely recommended him. Senior Living Buddha rejected it at that time."
"Why?"
Xuan Zhen said, "Living Buddha said that this person must die. He can't bear the heavy responsibility!"
