"What a meticulous person. Too bad I have already informed that great figure. Let me see how miserable you will be in front of him. When the time comes, I will personally repay today’s humiliation. You will regret sparing me. A woman’s grudge runs deep."

Xiao Shou had no idea that his secret was about to be exposed.

After a good night’s sleep, he woke up feeling refreshed.

He stretched his body lazily and casually cast a cleansing spell out of habit.

Then he checked the condition of his Nascent Soul.

What he saw nearly made his jaw drop.

Since when had the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame inside his Nascent Soul become so large?

It had originally been just a tiny flame in his dantian, but after one sleep, it had expanded to fill his entire lower abdomen.

Even taking stimulants would not cause such an exaggerated change.

And his cultivation level...

When he evolved the Eternal Prosperity Mountain Range had he not just advanced one stage?

But judging from the current state of his spiritual energy, was he now at the fourth stage? Or even the fifth?

Did he somehow get into a time machine and transmigrate again?

Xiao Shou who is shocked released his divine sense to scan his surroundings.

The cave dwelling was still the same cave dwelling, but the Seven Deadly Sins in the surrounding spiritual energy had completely disappeared.

It seemed that after obtaining the Vermilion Bird Flame, Emperor Yingzhou had indeed resolved the issue quickly.

Thinking this, he extended his senses outside, only to be startled again.

The once quiet area was now filled with countless cultivators and mortals coming and going, forming a dense crowd.

Confused about how such a peaceful place had suddenly become so lively, he listened more closely with his divine sense.

People kept talking about something called a black divine flame that purified the world and saved lives.

A black divine flame cleansing the world?

Only then did Xiao Shou remember that before falling asleep, he seemed to have lost a small flame he had summoned.

Could it be related to this?

He summoned the small black flame and asked suspiciously, "Was this your doing?"

"I am full... so full... I want to sleep..."

The little black flame transmitted its simple thoughts to him.

Hearing the words "so full," Xiao Shou was certain that it was indeed connected to his flame.

Perhaps even his sudden surge in cultivation was thanks to the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame.

He could roughly imagine what had happened.

Still unaware that his fox fire had devoured countless sin laden cultivators, including Emperor Yingzhou, officials, soldiers, nobles, as well as the Island Master and Young Island Master of Penglai Immortal Isle, treating them all as food, Xiao Shou remained calm.

Although the outcome had been unintentional, resolving the Seven Deadly Sins was not a bad thing.

At least he would not have to hear later about countless people suffering and feel regret over it.

That was what he thought.

But just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Little benefactor, this humble monk invites you to meet."

"Ah, that strange monk..."

Xiao Shou immediately panicked.

He hurriedly tidied himself up and prepared to escape using the Frostheart Fleeting Battleship.

At that moment, the voice spoke again, calm and unhurried.

"If you wish to leave, I will not stop you. However, the many people outside searching for you are quite pitiful. I have always enjoyed helping others. I would not mind drawing your true appearance for them. That way, no matter where you go in the Heaven Origin Realm, they will surely find you one day and personally offer their thanks."

"You bastard. You call this not stopping me? This is clearly a threat. So the monks of Fanghu Mystic Isle are all like this. No wonder people lump your island together with the other two immortal isles instead of seeing you as compassionate monks."

Only then did Xiao Shou realize that the strange monk had been addressing him as "little benefactor."

But whether it was the old man from yesterday or the middle aged cultivator from today, neither identity should have been addressed that way.

Did he have some method to see through his disguise?

And how did he know about him being a transmigrator, about the so called protagonist and supporting roles?

Xiao Shou collapsed onto the bed and rolled around in frustration, unable to calm down.

Sensing his reaction, a strange feeling of fond indulgence rose in Tongchan’s heart.

Even his middle finger felt slightly warm.

He could not help but chuckle softly.

"Amitabha. It cannot be helped. This monk was born with such a temperament. But I would not dare generalize and have all the monks of Fanghu Mystic Isle act the same as me."

"Pfft..."

For some reason, such a simple sentence, when spoken by him, instantly eased Xiao Shou’s mood.

His worries faded, and he laughed out loud.

After laughing, he could not resist teasing, "So this is what you are like as a monk."

"Yes. This monk is exactly like this."

The smile at Tongchan’s lips was impossible to hide.

Feeling more relaxed and somehow unable to stay guarded against him, and instinctively sensing that he meant no harm, Xiao Shou thought it over carefully.

Now that he had been blocked at his own door, and did not even know how much the other party knew about his secrets, there was no point in hiding anymore.

"All right then. Please come in and have a seat."

"Then I shall take the liberty."

After speaking, Tongchan opened a path through his golden purple singing bowl and lightly stepped inside.

He saw Xiao Shou sitting on a meditation cushion inside the simple cave dwelling while looking at him with a faint smile.

After the monk entered, Xiao Shou carefully observed this person who had caused him repeated setbacks.

The monk wore spotless white robes, his appearance was striking and upright, and he was unusually tall.
