Chapter 75: Tomorrow at Midnight!
Chapter 75: Tomorrow at Midnight!
Zhang Zhongba pulled Ji Jingqiu aside to a private room for a confidential conversation.
As soon as they entered, Zhang Zhongba asked sternly, "Are you sure you're not currently being influenced by the Supreme Buddha Sect's Divine Roaming?"
Ji Jingqiu nodded, "I've already entered Tranquil Mind."
Zhang Zhongba shook his head, "This isn't a state of meditation... What are you talking about?"
Ji Jingqiu calmly replied, "After the incident with Li Buyi, my Mind Ocean cultivation made some breakthroughs, but due to the burden of my Life Body, I didn't make progress for a long time. After breaking through the Third Limit recently, I took the opportunity to enter Tranquil Mind."
Zhang Zhongba wiped the sweat from his bald head.
It could be explained that he had good luck in forging the body and seeing the Heartfire, but it didn't necessarily mean he had talent in Mind Spirit cultivation.
But to enter Tranquil Mind through body forging...
His younger brother was sweating profusely.
However, thinking about his partner, Ji Jingqiu, who had endured sixteen years of poison, Zhang Zhongba felt a sense of relief.
From this perspective, it was even more surprising that Ji Jingqiu hadn't gone crazy in these years, compared to entering Tranquil Mind through body forging.
"What about the gold ring I gave you last time?" Zhang Zhongba asked.
Ji Jingqiu took it out of his pocket; he hadn't lost this ring.
Zhang Zhongba took it and examined it carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief, "It hasn't changed color, so there should be no problem."
"You can wear this as a warning."
Zhang Zhongba returned the ring to Ji Jingqiu and explained, "The Supreme Buddha Sect is sinister, and the source lies in their Supreme Buddha, which is no less skilled in bewitching and distorting the Mind Ocean than the Heaven Demon among the Four Demons in the depths of the wilderness."
Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask, "Four Demons, Heaven Demon?"
Was this the Sixth Heaven Lord, who was subdued under the Bodhi tree? How does it feel so professional and relevant?
Zhang Zhongba nodded, "One of the four Inner World Scene disasters in the Mind Ocean, and also the most troublesome thing for the Federation currently. Since you want to deal with the Administration, you'll definitely come into contact with this in the future. I'll explain it in detail later."
He paused, then finally prepared to reveal some information to Ji Jingqiu, saying, "Brother... Do you know who founded the Supreme Buddha Sect?"
Ji Jingqiu shook his head.
"It was Mu Heishan, the second son of Mu Shuai!"
Zhang Zhongba spoke with a grave expression,
"I briefly mentioned the situation of the Supreme Buddha Sect to you before, but in reality, their situation is several times more complex.
Back then, not long after the Federation stabilized, Mu Shuai mysteriously disappeared, claiming to be in seclusion. No one knew where he went.
Mu Heishan left the Mu Clan to inherit his father's will and founded the Supreme Buddha Sect, aiming to oversee the Federation's operations.
As I told you before, they split into two factions internally. One faction follows ancient traditions, while the other attempts to create new methods and forge a Supreme Buddha to save the world.
And the original core they used to create the Supreme Buddha...
Is Mu Heishan's Divine Essence Core!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingqiu understood why the Supreme Buddha Sect possessed numerous Mind Spirit secrets matching the Flame Prison Meditation Chart.
Turns out their original founder was the second son of Mu Shuai!
"Back then, they had the incense offerings connection with the Mu Clan, so the Administration never took action against them.
But after they created the Supreme Buddha using Mu Heishan's Divine Essence Core, the incense offerings connection with the Mu Clan was completely severed.
The Mu Clan personally tried to rectify the situation, but ultimately failed due to this Supreme Buddha.
After absorbing countless Martial Artists' Divine Essence, this Supreme Buddha's position rivaled the Four Gods of the Federation but also fell into chaos and confusion.
Even if you've reached Tranquil Mind, you must be cautious. Unless you attain Firm Foundation, ensuring your Mind Spirit realm never regresses, you risk being polluted and corrupted."
After listening to Zhang Zhongba's analysis and instructions, Ji Jingqiu indicated that he understood.
"I understand what you mean," Zhang Zhongba asked again, "When did you join the Supreme Buddha Sect?"
"It was when I was taken by Li Buyi."
Zhang Zhongba thought for a moment, "The Administration has always wanted to plant an informant within the Supreme Buddha Sect, but their screening mechanism is extremely strict, making it almost impossible. Now that you're here..."
"I'll register you with the Administration and connect you directly to me, but remember, don't do anything risky!"
Zhang Zhongba spoke with unusual seriousness, "My only request is that you discreetly provide intelligence on the Supreme Buddha Sect without exposing yourself.
And don't associate with them!
You can try to follow the faction that adheres to ancient traditions; at least they won't do things like hurting the heavens and harming people."
Zhang Chongba's thoughts turned to his younger brother, Ji Jingqiu. He had been too presumptuous, thinking that being an informant was easy and that he could play both sides. But every step as an informant was like dancing on the edge of a cliff.
Even if Ji Jingqiu had just entered the Body Forging Realm and joined the Supreme Buddha Sect, he would only be an ordinary believer with limited access. How much useful information could he possibly gather? The risks far outweighed the potential gains.
Moreover, their uncle had high hopes for Ji Jingqiu. Not long ago, he had even discussed Ji Jingqiu's development plans in the Core Zone during a remote call.
On top of that, the recent embarrassing incident was still fresh in Zhang Chongba's mind. He couldn't bear to let Ji Jingqiu take on any more risks.
Ji Jingqiu nodded, "I heard that they're planning to target a genius disciple from the Mu Clan in the west soon."
Zhang Chongba's expression suddenly changed, and he muttered, "The west... a genius from the Mu Clan... What audacity! How dare they target Mu Junxin?!"
Ji Jingqiu added, "They say he's a Natural Buddha Son, a True Buddha's Foe."
Zhang Chongba's face turned serious, "That kid does have a strong Zen intent. They say he has the potential to cultivate the Flame Prison Meditation Chart..."
The original text can be found in Chapter 6, Book 9, on the online novel platform.
Speaking of this, Zhang Chongba couldn't help but glance at Ji Jingqiu up and down.
He hadn't noticed it before, but Ji Jingqiu's Zen intent, while not as strong as before, seemed to have improved in 'quality'.
This was probably due to Ji Jingqiu's recent breakthrough in the Tranquil Mind state.
The higher one's cultivation in Mind Spirit, the less one showed their abilities. Some had a depth like an abyss, while others were as vast as the sea.
"Brother, when you have the chance, go to the Mu Clan and take a look. See if you can comprehend their Family Inherited Visualization Chart."
Zhang Chongba pondered for a moment, "I've met Mu Junxin before, and his Zen intent is not even half as strong as yours."
Ji Jingqiu looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand the meaning.
Zhang Chongba quickly waved his hand, brushing off the topic, "This information is important. I'll report it to the higher-ups and inform the Mu Clan to be cautious. If it's true, it'll be your achievement!"
"There's one more thing."
Ji Jingqiu briefly explained the trouble regarding the Starlink Corporation, concealing some details.
Hearing that the Starlink Corporation was attempting to use Ji Jingqiu as a breakthrough against Lou Qinglan, Zhang Chongba frowned.
To be honest, he wasn't keen on getting involved in the conflict between the Starlink Corporation and the Taian City Government Hall.
On the surface, it seemed like an internal power struggle within the Starlink Corporation, with one faction trying to eliminate the remaining members of the Lou Clan after their recent defeat. But they ended up clashing with the Taian City Government Hall...
However, according to the Administration's intelligence network, the truth behind this incident was a power struggle between the Ji Clan, one of the Six Great Families, and the commercial alliance that the Starlink Corporation belonged to.
Lou Qinglan was a crucial link in this matter.
When they first arrived on Dong Sanhuang Planet, there were three of them, including himself and Ah Dao, and a young girl named Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji was the current head of the Ji Clan's branch on Dong Sanhuang Planet, Ji Anyu.
Where had she gone? She had left to deal with this matter.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chongba rubbed his chin, "Brother, I'll introduce you to someone in a few days. Coincidentally, he also has the surname Ji, but a different character than yours."
Ji Jingqiu reminded him, "There are people from the Starlink Corporation and the Supreme Buddha Sect within the Security Bureau as well."
Zhang Chongba rubbed his temples, feeling like Taian City was already a fishing net, full of holes from beginning to end.
According to their investigations, the Supreme Buddha Sect had been operating on Dong Sanhuang Planet for at least seven or eight years. If not for their caution due to the Ji Clan's branch, their actions would have been more unrestrained, and perhaps even the Government Hall would have fallen.
With this in mind, it didn't seem so unacceptable.
Dong Sanhuang Planet was just a remote planet, and considering the premise of not harming the populace, their security forces were capable of dealing with Soul Roaming Warriors. But when it came to Shackles Realm warriors, they faced some challenges.
Previously, the Supreme Buddha Sect had only sent a few Soul Roaming Realm warriors.
It wasn't until their uncle appeared and disrupted their plans that they dispatched the Shackles Realm warrior, Li Buyi, as reinforcements.
"Alright, this time, I'll help the Security Bureau take down the traitor while I'm at it."
