How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 303: Seizing Control of the Gateway

Lin Xiaosu nodded gently: "Miss Ru Si’s words hit the mark! The portal to enter and exit Kun Cang is controlled in two places, externally by Wuxiang Temple, and internally by Yanhua Building. Wuxiang Temple, without dispute, is the Outer Sect of Three Buddha Temple. Yanhua Building is controlled by the Three Buddha Temple, Luanyun Heaven, and Yin Yang Temple. Do not underestimate the weight of this portal control right. With this control right, they can prioritize their communication with the external world, their disciples have more freedom than others, they can get the best talents, they can even eliminate geniuses from other sects at will. This is just the surface; the deeper logic is that joining their Upper Three Sects would become the aspiration of the entire young generation of Kun Cang. As such, their sect strength will continue to expand, truly forming a suppression in terms of power."

The three Palace Masters nodded together...

Indeed, that’s the case.

This portal control right is too important.

Having the portal control right, it might seem like nothing, as people can enter and exit freely anyway, at most giving Yanhua Building some toll fee.

But actually, it’s very crucial at critical times.

For example, if there are outstanding talents from outside wanting to enter Kun Cang, they choose first; the leftovers they don’t care about are left to other sects.

For example, if they want to eliminate a certain genius, once this genius exits the Gate of Kun Cang, they would know, and it is more convenient for them to conspire against him externally than anyone else. Who would know how that poor genius perished?

Over time, they have formed a sect attraction.

And thus, they mixed into the Upper Three Sects.

"I understand the gentleman’s intention, and I accept it too!" Hua Miaoyi said. "But does the gentleman have any clever method to untie this deeply entrenched dead knot?"

"This is what I want to discuss with the three Palace Masters, a bet!" Lin Xiaosu said. "Are you willing to bet on gaining control of this portal right in our own hands?" freēnovelkiss.com

Hua Miaoyi felt as if a great wave was crashing in her heart!

Li Chushui felt the same. "Gentleman, taking the control of the portal right from their hands is certainly exciting, but it’s absolutely impossible!"

"Why?"

"Yanhua Building is jointly controlled by three superior forces, as long as we act against Yanhua Building, it means waging war against the three superior forces simultaneously, that... that outcome is truly unimaginable!"

"Yes, with our current strength, we can barely contend against Three Buddha Temple alone without fear, but facing the three superior forces, any rash move might truly invite disaster." Lu Sanqian, who is known for his decisive actions, also shook his head.

"Yanhua Building!" Lin Xiaosu smiled lightly. "It has become a key link in the portal only because of the array settings for entering and exiting Kun Cang, which is set up for dual control. If we change the dual control to single control, Yanhua Building will naturally become obsolete. Don’t need to worry!"

Hua Miaoyi’s eyes lit up. "Single control? Change to unilateral control by Wuxiang Temple?"

"Yes!"

"Wuxiang Temple..." Lu Rufeng scratched his head. "Then... wouldn’t it perfectly align with the wishes of Three Buddha Temple? Their power would be unprecedented?"

"Wuxiang Temple is controlled by Three Buddha Temple, their power is unprecedented!" Lin Xiaosu said. "But do you think, Brother Lu, that I can still allow Wuxiang Temple to be controlled by Three Buddha Temple?"

Everyone’s eyes lit up simultaneously...

Wuxiang Temple is outside of Kun Cang!

And the territory outside Kun Cang is the home field of Qianlong!

Feng Ji interjected: "Do you intend to use the Power of Hidden Dragon to clean up Wuxiang Temple? But doing so would mean Qianlong directly going to war with Kun Cang. Does it fit Qianlong’s broader strategy?"

She rarely spoke, but when she did, it was deeply profound.

The relationship between Qianlong and Kun Cang is exceedingly delicate; they cannot go to war recklessly.

Due to both forces supposed to be Guardians of Daxia on a national level, although Kun Cang’s guardian has long had a vacancy suspicion, they are ultimately not enemies.

If Qianlong were to take out Wuxiang Temple, it would be direct war against Kun Cang.

Wuxiang Temple is not Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple.

Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple has a record, evidence of guilt.

The sect behind it is also flawed, the Xiaoyao Palace.

Whereas Wuxiang Temple has no blemish, and behind it is the orthodox Buddhist Three Buddha Temple representing Kun Cang, the uncrowned kings of the entire Kun Cang; the positions of the two temples are entirely different.

The consequences of taking it down are also entirely different.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Qianlong directly taking action is obviously a bad move, but externally there is a place of law. If... if some murder cases happen in the Buddhist temple and the evidence is irrefutable, no matter what backing it has, I will still handle it!"

Everyone’s eyes lit up brightly...

Lu Sanqian laughed heartily: "I always said the gentleman’s scheme is that there is always a way to break the situation! This plan is amazing!"

Feng Ji laughed: "I understand your intention. The remaining matters need not bother the Master and two Palace Masters; I will handle it!"

"Senior Sister Feng, let’s handle it together, I happen to know a place and some people that can be used..." Lu Ru Si said.

After a round of discussion, passion was high.

Everyone felt as if they had returned to their teenage years, with blood boiling and passion...

Lin Xiaosu bowed slightly: "Today, I will take my leave!"

"Alright! You go with Ruoshui!" Li Chushui said.

"Thank you, Palace Master, for your care for Ruoshui!" Lin Xiaosu thanked Li Chushui again.

"Let’s go!" Li Chushui stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Xiaosu’s shoulder, the next moment drifted upwards, returning to Chunshui Palace...

That day, Lin Xiaosu and Ding Ruoshui returned to Yanhua Building and obtained the Token to exit Kun Cang.

A flash of light, they passed through the Kun Cang portal back to Wuxiang Temple.

As they passed through the Kun Cang portal, Master Hui Guang still sat in front; the two faced him with a slight bow and exited the side hall, while Master Hui Guang lifted his eyes, quietly watching their backs.

Master Kong Wen representing the orthodox Kun Cang had already issued a ban on the three sects.

The ban takes effect in three days.

This son managed to leave Kun Cang today, is it by recognition? Or is there another plan?

Regardless of any conspiracy, Wuxiang Temple is not afraid.

He, Hui Guang, is in the Observing Heaven realm.

The Observing Heaven realm in Kun Cang is also at the level of top elders in the sect, not to mention in the martial declining Mortal World?

In this Mortal World, he doesn’t even care about the Qianlong King.

Even if Qianlong really intends to take down Wuxiang Temple with an iron hand, it still has to consider the entire Kun Cang behind Wuxiang Temple.

I believe as long as the decision-makers of Qianlong haven’t lost their minds, no one would have crooked thoughts about Wuxiang Temple.

Outside the Wuxiang Temple gate is the Bodhi Tree, lush with branches and leaves.

Under the tree, wildflowers grow.

When entering Kun Cang, the Start of Spring was no more than ten days, the water was not warm, the flowers were not blooming.

And today, smoky haze rises, tender willows blow fluff, wildflowers bloom, and spring is vibrant.

Checking the phone, March 17th according to the solar calendar.

Forty-six days of Kun Cang journey.

"Take off the gown and change into spring clothes, cross two worlds, return to reality, how do you feel?" Beside him, Ding Ruoshui smiled lightly.

"Highly condensed into four words: Coming back is great!" Lin Xiaosu took a long breath, inhaling the full scent of flowers.

"During this trip, didn’t we practically strip each other to the bottom?"

"Damn!" Lin Xiaosu glanced sideways at her. "Would you dare say those words again in front of your mom?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? If my mom hears these words, she’d die of joy!" Ding Ruoshui also gave him a sideways glance. "But you won’t be like my mom, only focusing on the literal meaning and missing the subtext, right?"
