To be fair, Buddhist baldies love to make a fuss, and their methods are quite formidable. But compared to the numerous demons and ghosts, Buddhist monks are still better. Most monks can still subdue demons.

With so many experts suddenly missing from the Northern Province, the suppressed demons and ghosts are definitely going to wreak havoc. I'm afraid the countries in the Northern Province will be in chaos for a while.

Zuo Wentao and Tao Jun realized this, but they dared not mention it in front of Gao Xuan.

Celestial Fool Master also thought of this, and with some worry said, "The Buddhist and Daoist sects have the upper hand in the Northern Province, able to steadily suppress demons and ghosts. Now that the Buddhist experts are gone, the countries where the Golden Body Arhats resided are likely to suffer.

"There's also a severe issue: if no one guards the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, there will certainly be problems."

Though the demons and ghosts across the regions are dangerous, they have formed a balance with the Human Race. Even if issues arise, they can always be controlled.

But the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is different. The cave gathers Ultimate Yin Filthy Qi, nurturing countless demons. These demons are numerous but lacking in intelligence, with particularly great destructive power.

Once the seal of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is broken, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Northern Province.

Of course, the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is also a treasure trove. The bodies and crystal cores of demons can be used for artifact refining and alchemy, making them very valuable.

Such a unique cave greatly interests Celestial Fool. However, Yu Jing Dao lacks the talent. Even occupying the cave might not ensure suppression.

Celestial Fool also has to admit that the Buddhist monks are quite adept at suppressing demons. The Daoist Sect falls short in comparison.

Gao Xuan nodded. "That is indeed a problem."

He killed the Buddhist monks because they wanted to kill him. The few Golden Body Arhats were aggressive, and he wouldn't hold back.

As for the dozens of Arhats, Gao Xuan didn't care much initially. It was Lingxu's Asura King self-explosion that made Gao Xuan move the Five Hundred Arhat Array to mitigate the explosion's power.

The outcome was total annihilation of the Buddhist sect.

Having killed these monks, Gao Xuan also had to take on their responsibilities. He could not disrupt the peaceful life of the Northern Province's countries because of his personal vendetta.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I am not familiar with the Daoist experts. I would trouble Celestial Fool Fellow Daoist to invite Daoist experts to my Celestial Master Temple, so we can discuss a countermeasure together."

Celestial Fool hurriedly nodded. "Leave it to me. In the Northern Province, there are only three Human Immortals: Chen Jiu Feng, Sikong Ling, and Xu Royal Court. I am quite familiar with them…"

Celestial Fool was very proactive, as the Buddhist sect had been aggressively expanding over the years with overwhelming momentum. The Daoist Sect was dispersed internally, though there were four Human Immortals, they were pressed to the point of suffocation by the Buddhist sect.

Now that the Buddhist experts are exterminated, it presents a valuable opportunity for the Daoist Sect.

Moreover, Gao Xuan is just one person. Judging by Gao Xuan's demeanor, he didn't have the intention of establishing a sect. No matter how vast his Divine Techniques were, his resources were limited.

Celestial Fool is extremely obsessed with cultivation, but as the strongest Human Immortal in Yu Jing Dao, he also cares deeply about the sect's legacy.

This matter is very important, potentially affecting the structure of the Daoist Sect for thousands of years. He must be proactive.

Celestial Fool left with Zuo Wentao and Tao Jun; the faces of the three old Daoists were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

No one had expected such an outcome before coming here.

Gao Xuan also swept back to the Celestial Master Temple; this time, having killed many Buddhist experts, the gain in magical artifacts was insignificant. The key was the experience and knowledge of these monks.

The ultimate move of the Asura King at the end, extremely sinister. The space barrier was corroded by poisonous power. Without his control of the Inversion of Heaven and Earth Technique and prior arrangements, it would be hard to escape the trap.

Returning to the Celestial Master Temple, Gao Xuan first released Ripples.

Ripples pouted unhappily. She was enthusiastically fighting a group of Arhats but had no idea what happened, being taken into Gao Xuan's consciousness sea.

Gao Xuan tapped Ripples' little head. "Your swordsmanship is mediocre, but your temper is not small. I did it for your own good. You go practice swordsmanship obediently…"

Ripples left feeling a bit wronged, clutching the Hongyi Sword. She didn't think she had lost.

Continued fighting would surely expose the monks' weaknesses, but the master didn't give her a chance to shine.

"I must become stronger, so the master doesn't always treat me like a child…"

Ripples held the Hongyi Sword and went to practice diligently. In the quiet room, Gao Xuan opened the Nether God Claw, first inspecting Lingxu's memory.

The Four Great Golden Body Arhats, undoubtedly the strongest in Xuan Xiang. The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon and World-Ending True Flame are extremely formidable. In the Cyan Celestial Realm, Xuan Xiang should be among the top Human Immortals.

Lingxu pales in comparison, likely lacking a couple thousand years of Dao practice.

However, Lingxu's Asura King Dharma Aspect, Martial Skill is wondrous. Among all the enemies Gao Xuan encountered, the Asura King Martial Skill was the best.

Gao Xuan's pride in the Water Heaven Sword Technique was entirely subdued by the Asura King. Without his strong cultivation level and the Hongyi Sword's might, he wouldn't be able to defeat the Asura King.

Clearly, Lingxu, merely a Golden Body Arhat, and a woman at that, even if she spent her life refining Martial Skill, could not achieve this level of cultivation.

If she truly had such spiritual Martial Dao, Lingxu would not be stuck at the Golden Body Arhat level.

The Nether God Claw's ability to absorb the Divine Soul and extract memories is what Gao Xuan values the most. Luckily, it operates normally even in the Immortal Realm.

Through several battles, the Nether God Claw benefited the most.

The memories of Lingxu were extracted by the Nether God Claw.

Gao Xuan browsed through them; Lingxu's early life was quite rough, but her strong-willed nature coupled with talent and luck allowed her to reach her current position step by step.
