When they arrived in front of the Demon Suppression Tower, a narrow bronze door slowly opened. A skinny old monk with white eyebrows and beard stepped out slowly with his palms pressed together.
"Honorable Master Kong Wu," Fa Yuan returned the greeting, "Only one Heart of Asura disappeared?"
The skinny old monk nodded slowly, "Only one."
His snow-white eyebrows drooped to the corner of his mouth, his triangular eyes looked a little fierce, but his gaze was calm and clear. He had really reached the state of mind like still water, without any ripples. Even when such a big event happened, he was still calm and collected.
"How did it disappear?" Fa Yuan asked, "Did you find out?"
"I don't know." The skinny old monk shook his head slowly, "It shouldn't be because of the Demon Suppression Tower."
"It can't be that Heart of Asura King, right?" Fa Yuan asked.
Kong Wu said, "It's a Heart of Asura from a hundred years ago. I thought it had been washed away by the teachings of Buddhism and regained its Buddhist nature. I didn't expect it to suddenly disappear, as if it disappeared into thin air in this world."
"Can't find it?" Fa Yuan's expression changed slightly.
Kong Wu shook his head slowly, "Brother Kong Cheng has already tried, but he can't find it."
"How can this be!" Fa Yuan frowned.
Kong Wu shook his head without saying anything, obviously not knowing the reason.
"Then let's go in and take a look," Fa Yuan said.
Kong Wu glanced at Chu Li.
Fa Yuan said, "Brother Chu is not an outsider, he can also help."
"Since Fa Yuan said so, then please go in." Kong Wu bowed to Chu Li with his palms pressed together.
Chu Li pressed his palms together to return the greeting and followed him inside.
Fa Yuan entered the Demon Suppression Tower last and closed the bronze door.
The inside of the tower was completely different from what Chu Li had imagined. His Omniscient Mirror could not observe the situation here because there was an invisible force blocking it. When he stepped into the tower, he found it bright.
Sunlight shone through the top of the Demon Suppression Tower, but it was brighter than outside.
The walls of the tower were engraved with Buddhist scriptures and statues. The atmosphere of Buddhism was thick, and it was full of righteousness. It could really purge evil, and the name of Demon Suppression Tower was true.
He also found that there was not a trace of spiritual energy in the tower, just like in his Jueyuan Valley.
At this moment, there was a young monk sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, and he didn't move at all as if he was meditating.
This young monk seemed to be around the same age as Fa Yuan. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. Although he was not considered handsome, he was not ugly either. His skin was smooth and delicate, and his eyebrows were so black that they shone. His whole body was shrouded in an exuberant heroic spirit, which was similar to Chu Li.
In addition to the Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures on the walls of the pagoda, there were also small holes in which Hearts of Asura were fixed. At first glance, it was a little frightening. If these Asuras were to really come back to life, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda would definitely not be able to suppress them.
"Honorable Master Kong Cheng." Fa Yuan bowed with pressed palms. "Did you find anything?"
The young monk slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze was clear and calm. He shook his head lightly and said, "No. I've searched everywhere but found nothing. It seems as if I've been enlightened and ascended."
Chu Li looked at the young monk.
His whole body was shrouded in a layer of brilliance, but it was not the white light of a Celestial Being, but a kind of golden light. Obviously, his Buddhist Cultivation had reached a very deep level, almost reaching the Arhat Realm. The depth of Buddhist Cultivation was really rare.
The young monk looked at Chu Li and bowed with pressed palms. "Are you Almsgiver Chu Li?"
Chu Li bowed with pressed palms. "Chu Li greets Great Master Kong Cheng."
Even if he met Monk Ming, he would not be so respectful, but towards Kong Cheng, he was respectful from the bottom of his heart. This was the true virtue of a high monk.
Great Master Kong Cheng shook his head. "Almsgiver Chu, you've come at the right time. Did you find anything?"
Chu Li looked up at the sky and pointed. "It should have risen."
"Hmm — —?" Fa Yuan looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li said, "I can feel a trace of Grandmaster's aura. It's obvious that Grandmaster has taken action to guide it over."
"This pagoda bans all spiritual energy," Kong Wu said.
Chu Li nodded. "It can ban the spiritual energy of this world, but it can't ban the spiritual energy of Grandmaster."
This was the same situation as Jueyuan Valley.
He suddenly thought that the existence of Jueyuan Valley might be related to this Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Unfortunately, too much time had passed, and it was impossible to find out. There was also no need to find out.
He turned his head to look at Fa Yuan and smiled. "Fa Yuan, you should be able to feel it, right?"
After listening to Chu Li's words, Fa Yuan fell into deep thought.
When he entered the pagoda earlier, he also felt a familiar feeling, but he did not pay much attention to it. He thought that it was familiar because he had been here before. Now that Chu Li pointed it out, he immediately understood. It was the aura of Grandmaster!
Fa Yuan was puzzled. "Why would Grandmaster Asura be guided?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Who knows about Grandmaster Asura? Everyone keeps it a secret and dare not say much."
"Asura …" Fa Yuan said, "Could it be that the descent of these Skylanders has something to do with Asura?"
Kong Cheng said, "Asura are indestructible. They are not considered strong in this world, but they will be stronger in Grandmaster Asura. According to what I know, Asura come from the Asura Realm, and they are best at fighting."
Fa Yuan furrowed his brows. "Then this Asura won't come back, right?"
Kong Cheng said, "If they enter Grandmaster Asura, they will not come back. To Asura, this Whirling World is like a prison."
"That's good." Fa Yuan nodded. "As long as they don't appear in this world."
Chu Li pondered. "Master Kong Cheng, is there really no way to destroy Asura?"
"According to what I know, there is no way to destroy Asura in this world." Kong Cheng shook his head.
Chu Li sighed. "If that's the case, we can only suppress them."
"Yes." Kong Cheng nodded.
Fa Yuan said, "Since they came to our Demon Prison Tower to receive the Heart of Asura, I wonder if …"
He frowned slightly, extremely dissatisfied with the Skylanders. Even with a peaceful and kind heart, he still had a faint desire to kill.
"I want to put Nephew Liao Ming's remains into the tower." Kong Cheng said.
"This …" Fa Yuan hesitated.
The Enlightened Master's remains had to be put into a specialized pagoda to protect everyone in the temple. The Enlightened Master Dojo formed could prevent Grandmasters from ascending to Grandmaster Asura. They could continue to live in the Enlightened Master Dojo as if they were in the temple.
Kong Cheng said, "If Nephew Liao Ming knows about this, he will not object."
"… Alright, we'll listen to Honorable Master Kong Cheng." Fa Yuan slowly nodded.
Kong Cheng said, "With the Enlightened Master's remains, we can hide from Grandmaster Asura's prying eyes. They will not be able to see the Demon Prison Tower."
Chu Li smiled.
The Enlightened Master's remains did have the ability to hide the secrets of heaven. There were Enlightened Masters in the Imperial Mausoleum of the Ji Dynasty. It was because the Enlightened Master's remains could hide the secrets of heaven that the Enlightened Master could not be discovered by Grandmaster Asura.
The Grandmaster Asura only recognized two kinds of Enlightened Masters. One was to become an Enlightened Master, the other was to cultivate the heart technique of the Four Spirit Beasts to become an Enlightened Master. The others were not Enlightened Masters and would be destroyed by lightning, just like Song Zhifan.
Fa Yuan and Chu Li exited the Demon Prison Tower and arrived outside the Tempest Temple.
Fa Yuan bowed with pressed palms. "Brother Chu, why are you frowning?"
Chu Li laughed. "I'm worried about something."
"What is it?"
"The descent of the Skylanders has already caused chaos. If Asura from Grandmaster Asura descends, what will happen?" Chu Li asked.
Fa Yuan frowned and said slowly, "It won't be that bad, right?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Always think of the worst. If the Skylanders can descend, why can't Asura?"
"I will continue to investigate the Heart of Asura." Fa Yuan said.
