Chapter 6: Tribulation Zen [Part 2]

Zhang Yuan looked at the Ku Chan opposite him. He was also a young man's face, wearing a cassock, and his eyes were also filled with a hint of vicissitudes and compassion, and his tone of speaking was the same, but he only told him that the Ku Chan in front of him was not the same person as the Ku Chan he saw a few days ago!

"Ho Chan, how are you doing recently?" Zhang Yuan asked tentatively.

"The little monk has been safe. Thank you for the teleportation, and the adults are concerned, but..." Ku Chan showed a puzzled expression and asked, "The teleportation, do you know the young monk?"

"...Did you forget?" Zhang Yuan asked hesitantly.

"Forgot? Oh, please forgive me. The little monk was punished by the sky for committing the murderous crime. His body was broken by the sky thunder. His three souls and six spirits were also damaged. He lost a large part of his memory, but he could not remember what happened before. Could it be that the little monk and the teleportation master had an old age?"

"Oh." Zhang Yuan's face showed a sudden look and said to himself: "It seems that Ku Chan is not the original Ku Chan, maybe it is a copy! However, this is just right. He doesn't know that I killed him by chance, nor does he remember what he said to me, which is more beneficial to me!"

Zhang Yuan thought so in his heart, but he was still a little worried, so he continued to ask tentatively: "Then what do you remember? We saw it not long ago. Have you forgotten even the things that happened a few days ago?"

"Not long ago? When exactly?" Ku Chan looked puzzled, then shook his head and said, "The little monk has no impression. After the little monk's body was broken, the sky saw that it was pitiful. Heaven entrusted the little monk with important tasks to the little monk, stayed in the secret realm of the burrow, and transformed the fierce tiger's aura. After the little monk completed the task, he stayed in the Tiger Pagoda... Huh!?"

Ku Chan's face suddenly showed a look of shock, his eyes swept around, then he looked at the statue and relics of Fuhu on the ground, his body trembled, and he said tremblingly: "Where is this? Why is the little monk not inside the Fuhu Pagoda?"

When Zhang Yuan saw Ku Chan's fearful expression, his mind turned, and a thought flashed quickly in his mind, and he immediately pretended to be surprised and exclaimed: "Ku Chan, have you forgotten even these?"

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he did not wait for Ku Chan to speak, and immediately continued: "You have completed the responsibilities given to you by the Dao of Heaven, and the whole world has changed. The Dao of Heaven has allowed you to leave the Secret Realm of Crouching Tiger. This time I came to ask you for help, and you have agreed!"

"This..." Ku Chan's face showed shock, confusion, confusion, surprise, hesitation... The expressions on his face changed instantly. More than ten seconds later, Ku Chan asked hesitantly with a tremolo, "Sir, can the little monk really leave the Secret Realm of Crouching Tiger?"

"Take it seriously! You can already clench the tiger secret realm." Zhang Yuan said in a sure tone.

"But why does the little monk have no memory? Moreover, this seems to be inconsistent with the trajectory of the heavenly way. The little monk should stay in the Crouching Tiger Pagoda and wait for the Heavenly Gifted One to appear. Only the Heavenly Gifted One can take the little monk out of the Crouching Tiger Pagoda..." Ku Chan said in confusion.

"Stop!" Zhang Yuan interrupted Ku Chan's words and said, "Listen to me and say slowly. After you finish listening, you will understand!"

"First of all, I want to tell you that there has been a great change in the world of immortality, and the way of heaven has opened up the free mode..."

"What!? How is it possible!? The free mode should not be three thousand years later..." Ku Chan exclaimed.

Zhang Yuan pressed down with both hands and said, "Ku Chan, don't talk first, listen to me."

"Yes, the teleportation master, the little monk is reckless. Please tell me, sir." Ku Chan said with some trepidation.

"Cough cough." Zhang Yuan coughed twice, snatched his words, and said: "First of all, the world of immortals has undergone great changes now, and many situations are different from before. You can no longer look at the current world with the eyes of the past. For example, the Heavenly Dao has broken off its connection with the monks. Unless something earth-shaking happens, the Heavenly Dao will not contact the monks."

"This, this..." Ku Chan was shocked again, then suddenly realized and said, "So that's it! So that's it! No wonder a few months ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Secret Realm of Crouching Tiger was in turbulent, and then the little monk lost contact with the Heavenly Dao."

After Ku Chan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and immediately asked: "Sir, the little monk is the next monk guardian, I don't know this..."

"Ku Chan, you have to understand that now is a free mode, and the original appointment of the Heavenly Dao no longer counts. You have to fight for all positions by yourself. However, this may not be a good thing. Without the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, you can do whatever you want and no longer have any worries." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"This..." Ku Chan had joy and sorrow on his face, and then said with a wry smile: "Sir, you have achieved the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit, and live with the Heavenly Heaven. As long as the Immortal Dao World is not destroyed, you are immortal, but how can you understand the sufferings of our lower-level monks..."

"Free mode, this is a great disaster for all monks below the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit. In order to seize the position of power and to seize the opportunity, all monks will start a life-and-death battle, and the Heavenly Gifters will continue to challenge. It is said that the number of Heavenly Gifters is tens of millions. How can the lower-level monks like the little monks resist tens of millions of Heavenly Gifters? They can beat one, but they can’t beat ten, but they can’t beat one hundred Heavenly Gifters. It’s really a disaster for all ordinary monks in the world!"

When Ku Chan said this, the bitter color on his face became increasingly strong. He sighed and said, "If history moved forward according to the trajectory of heaven and opened up the free mode three thousand years later, the little monk might also evaluate his efforts and practiced to the Bodhisattva Buddhahood, and perhaps he could still survive the great catastrophe of freedom mode. However, now the little monk is only a level 0 soul, and at this time he catches up with the free mode... it is bitter, it is bitter."

After hearing Ku Chan's complaints, Zhang Yuan felt that the time was ripe, and then said, "Ku Chan, the free mode is indeed a variety of disadvantages, but things have happened, so everything has to be looked forward. Now the entire world of immortality has become very different from before. Many situations make people feel strange, and in addition..."

"For the sake of fairness, the Heavenly Dao has eliminated all the fellow Taoists' fruits. I am almost the same as you now. I am all low-level cultivators and are no longer a fairy." Zhang Yuan said with a look of pain.

"What!? Sir! You were cut off the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit!? How is this possible?" Ku Chan said with disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible. The world today is very different from before. Everything needs to be started again!"

Zhang Yuan's expression turned sharply and said with a firm look on his face: "I was able to become a celestial immortal in the past, which was a gift from the heavenly way! Now I am not a celestial immortal, but even if I am not a celestial immortal now, I will still be able to ascend to the celestial immortal again in the future! Free mode is free together, without the constraints of the celestial law! The greater the achievement we cultivators want to achieve, the greater the effort we need! As long as we are willing to work hard, any dream and any ambition can be achieved! Not to mention a small celestial immortal, even becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal or even a saint, it is not impossible!"

Zhang Yuan finished these words with a firm tone, some of which were pretending, and the other part was infected by himself, and he was suddenly full of heroism.

Ku Chan looked at Zhang Yuan in shock, his eyes were a little dull, his mind was a little confused, excited, longing, and expecting...

"Ku Chan!" Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted softly, Ku Chan was shocked, then looked at Zhang Yuan in confusion and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly on his face and said, "Ku Chan, although I was cut off the Taoist fruit, I was a celestial immortal after all, and had many abilities, especially being able to freely travel to the secret realm of heaven and earth, and being able to bring others into the secret realm. This is something that others cannot do. Do you understand these?"

Ku Chan looked at Zhang Yuan in confusion and said hesitantly: "The little monk doesn't understand very well. Please give me a famous saying... Huh!? No, sir, do you mean that monks from the outside world can no longer enter the secret realm?"

"Haha..." Zhang Yuan smiled. He knew that Ku Chan had already understood what he meant, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned his mind and thought about how to continue to lie, how to continue to fool, and how to say so that Ku Chan would willingly follow him.

Seeing Zhang Yuan laughing but not speaking, Ku Chan felt that Zhang Yuan had agreed. He was silent for a moment and asked bluntly: "Sir, are you here to look for the little monk, but have you given me some instructions?"

"Haha..." Zhang Yuan smiled again, but he still felt that the heat was not good enough. If he proposed to subdue Ku Chan as a subordinate at this moment, Ku Chan might have a knot in his heart, so he prepared to add another fire.

"You haven't seen it outside yet, so you don't understand the situation outside. The changes in the outside world are earth-shaking. Moreover, the outside world has been implementing the freedom mode for many years. Most of the fellow Taoists have fallen or hidden. The monks have disappeared in the world." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"How is that possible!?" Ku Chan exclaimed again. In just over ten minutes, he had already exclaimed several times in a row.

"Oh, the way of heaven is fair and fair. When the free mode is turned on, the way of heaven has cut off all the Tao fruits of monks, and some of them have their memories wiped out. After the free mode is turned on, the heaven and earth undergo drastic changes, and the spiritual energy is turbulent. Afterwards, the spiritual energy in the outside world becomes thinner. In this case, how can the monks recover their cultivation? It can be said that it is a thousand years of difficulties, and..."

"The free mode is turned on, and wars are constantly coming. Many monks have died in batches before they can remember to practice again. All kinds of situations are combined together, so the external world has withered, and now the outside world is a world of mortals, and the monks have disappeared." Zhang Yuan said in a rude way.
