　　Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
　　“I haven’t heard of it yet.”
　　Lin　Buyu　replied：
“The Lingxiao Assembly, also known as the Chaos Star Demon-Slaying Assembly, was the last imperial decree issued by the old Heavenly Court before its downfall. It is an upper realm grand event that takes hunting extra-dimensional demons as a competition. This grand event is held once every thousand years. During the grand event, those who rank among the top hundred on the Demon-Slaying List can still receive the precious treasures bestowed by the old Heavenly Court to this day.”
　　Lin Buyu paused for a moment and then continued：
　　“Most importantly, as far as I know, Three Corpse Cave attaches great importance to the Chaos Star Assembly. All disciples of Three Corpse Cave must participate in the Lingxiao Assembly. Moreover, the top ten on the list can no longer be bound by the sect rules of Three Corpse Cave and can freely travel between the upper and lower realms.”
　　When Xu Taiping heard this, his heart moved and he said：
　　“In that case, younger martial sister, you can take this opportunity to leave the Three Corpse Cave.”
　　Lin　Buyu　nodded.
　　Then she looked at Xu Taiping with burning eyes and said：
　　“The next Lingxiao Conference should be two hundred years later.”
　　Xu Taiping understood what Lin Buyu meant and immediately nodded heavily and said：
　　“Buyu, see you at the Lingxiao Conference two hundred years later！”
　　However, when saying this, Xu Taiping added in his heart again——
　　“If I don’t die under the Great Void Calamity.”
　　Hearing this, Lin Buyu smiled and nodded, saying：
　　“Hmm！”
　　……
　　Half a month later.
　　Youxuan Cave.
　　“After a full half a month, this turmoil of corpse demons has finally subsided.”
　　“Judging from the intelligence sent by Zhao Qian, in this turmoil, the Qingxuan Sect suffered more than three hundred casualties, and even dozens of disciples on the mountain died.”
　　“Alas…”
　　A long sigh came from behind the bronze door.
　　Xu Taiping, who was sitting on the futon in front of the door, silently spilled a cup of wine in his hand on the ground, and then put down the wine cup and turned to look at Lu Daoxuan at the door and said：
“Master, just the turmoil caused by the two corpse demonic qi of Yu Yangzi has caused such heavy casualties to Qingxuan. If the seal of the Taixuan Sect’s remnant is really opened, I’m afraid Qingxuan will hardly be able to resist.
The immortal mansion remains of the Taixuan Sect is also the Yunmengze Secret Realm.
　　The ghosts inside, although not as powerful as Yu Yangzi, far outnumber him in quantity.
　　If the Qingxuan Sect forcefully unlocks the seal between Qingxuan and the relics of the Taixuan Sect in order to obtain the complete inheritance of the Taixuan Sect, what the Qingxuan Sect will face will be the disaster of ghost zombies, which will be a hundred times more dangerous than the Ghost Moon Tide half a month ago.
　　Even more terrifying is that the ghosts in the relics of the Taixuan Sect were caused by the Taixu Calamity.
　　They simply can’t be killed completely.
　　After a long silence, Lu Daoxuan finally spoke and said：
　　I have already agreed with Zhao Qian that after Qingxuan closes the mountain for one Jiazi this time, we will tell the disciples of all peaks about the matter of the Taixuan Sect and the situation that Qingxuan will face in the future.
　　Those who are willing to share the hardships with Qingxuan will stay.
　　Those who are not willing will have this memory erased and be sent out of the mountain.
　　However, we will not mention the Taixu Calamity for the time being, and only say that it is to deal with Jiuyuan.
　　Because it involves too much, in these days, Lu Daoxuan and Zhao Qian have been discussing how to implement this matter.
　　Xu Taiping nodded and said：
　　If they are still willing to stay after knowing the danger, then they can indeed be regarded as our like-minded people.
After explaining this matter, Xu Taiping suddenly remembered that his Xuanyuan clone seemed to be still left the Taixuan Town Demon Coffin and immediately asked Lu Daoxuan curiously:
　　“Master, my Xuanyuan Clone is still cultivating in the Taixuan Town Demon Coffin. Should I ask him to come out？”
　　Lv Daoxuan behind the bronze door shook his head and said：
　　“Since you didn’t use him when you fought against the three corpse demon qi of Yu Yangzi, it’s better to leave him in the coffin to continue cultivating. When the power of those two Demon Emperor Heart Orifices is completely exhausted, it’s not too late to ask him to come out.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked again：
　　“Master, do you know how much is left of these two Demon Emperor Heart Orifices？”
　　Lv Daoxuan behind the bronze door silently calculated for a while, and then said：
　　“It could be as short as one month or as long as three months. It won’t be too long.”
　　When Xu Taiping heard that the Xuanyuan Clone could still cultivate in the bronze coffin for one to three months, he was immediately overjoyed andSecret passage：
　　“The cultivation gained in the bronze coffin in one month is probably equivalent to ten years in the outside world. Coupled with the guidance of Senior Dao Gui, there is indeed no need to rush to ask the Xuanyuan Clone to come out.”
　　And just as Xu Taiping was thinking like this, Lv Daoxuan suddenly spoke again：
“Don’t worry, this Xuanyuan Clone doesn’t need you to carry it with you. Moreover, because these nine bronze coffins can sense each other’s minds even if they are separated by several worlds, even in the Xuanghuang Heaven, you can enter your bronze coffin to undo this Xuanyuan Clone.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was immediately overjoyed.
Because this means that if he encounters danger in the Profound Wilderness Tower, he can Clone left in the Nether Profound Cave and obtain the saber techniques he has cultivated in the bronze coffin.
　　This is undoubtedly a safeguard for him who is alone in the Barbaric Wilderness Heaven.
　　After raising his head and pouring a mouthful of wine, Lü Daoxuan behind the bronze door continued：
　　“Let’s talk about your trip to the Thousand Buddha Kingdom.”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart immediately tightened, and he nodded and said：
　　“I was just about to ask you, Master, about this matter.”
　　Regarding this trip to the Thousand Buddha Kingdom, Lü Daoxuan only told him that whether this trip was successful or not was related to whether he and Qingxuan behind him could change from chess pieces to chess players in the confrontation with the Great Void Tribulation.
　　But what exactly to do, Lü Daoxuan didn’t mention a word.
　　After a little thought, Lü Daoxuan behind the bronze door finally said：
　　“For this trip to the Thousand Buddha Kingdom, what you need to do, Taiping, is very simple. That is to go to the capital of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom, climb to the Vulture Peak Ten Thousand Buddha Cave in the capital, and invite down a Buddha statue.”
　　“And then invite this Buddha statue back to the Profound Wilderness Heaven.”
　　“As for which Buddha statue, it depends on your own choice and opportunity.”
　　After hearing Lü Daoxuan’s specific plan, Xu Taiping asked curiously：
　　“Master, why do you specifically invite back a Buddha statue？”
　　Lv Daoxuan behind the bronze door smiled, and then said with a hint of “cunning” in his eyes：
　　”It’s　a　deal.”
　　Lv Daoxuan didn’t continue to play tricks and immediately explained：
　　”Roughly in the first Jiazi year after the True Martial Great Emperor ascended, the prosperous Buddhist sect, due to a certain karma, caused most of the Buddhist fate to wither in the Supreme Purity Realm.”
　　”Only in several immortal mansions in Youyun Heaven and Jueming Heaven, there are still several Buddhist traces.”
　　”Among them, the once extremely powerful Thousand Buddhas Kingdom disappeared overnight.”
　　”When it was discovered again, the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom had become a ruin in the Barbaric Heaven, and its fate was the same as that of the millions of gods in the Supreme Purity Realm in the past, reduced to an abandoned son of heaven and earth.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping asked curiously：
　　”Master, do you know what this karma originated from？”
　　Lv Daoxuan behind the bronze door shook his head and said：
　　”Because this matter is very similar to the consequence of encountering the Great Void Tribulation, many people including the five elders of our Taixuan Sect tried to explore this matter back then, but until today, no one has been able to find out the reason.”
　　When he said this, Lv Daoxuan paused for a moment, and then continued：
　　”But when the five elders of our Taixuan Sect explored this matter in the countless wilds, we accidentally discovered that before the destruction of the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom, it left a method that could make the Buddhist fate return to the Supreme Purity Realm.”
　　Xu Taiping’s heart stirred, and he blurted out：
　　”This method, could it be to go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave on Lingjiu Peak in the royal capital and invite down a Buddha statue？”
　　Lv Daoxuan behind the bronze door nodded and said：
　　”That’s right.”
　　Xu Taiping immediately asked again：
　　”But if that’s the case, why haven’t these remaining Buddhist disciples in Shangqing done so？”
　　Lv Daoxuan asked rhetorically：
　　”How many Buddhist disciples have you seen who have gone to the Wild Heaven for training？”
　　Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said：
　　”It seems that indeed I haven’t heard of any Buddhist disciples going to the Wild Heaven for training…”
　　Xu Taiping immediately asked again：
　　”Master, there must be some reason why Buddhist disciples don’t enter the Wild？”
