Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 386: Dimensional Fusion

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Dimensional Fusion

“Is it this hasty? Don’t you think there’s something wrong here?” Lu Ran asked.

“Whether there’s a problem or not isn’t mine to decide. As you said, as long as it remains as data, it can’t escape the rules of the Data World. You can’t escape it, so there’s no point in mentioning it for me. I just do what I should do. The Taoist Sect has worked so hard, they can’t just give up on some ambiguous things.” Cen Yunuo said.

“You really are submissive to fate.” Lu Ran remarked.

But on second thought, it made sense.

That was just something Lu Ran said offhand.

Nobody knows what the actual situation is.

Moreover.

Indeed, remaining within the data can’t escape the data rules.

No need to think too much.

“Right, also, are you so sure that after finding me, I’ll help you?” Lu Ran asked.

“Previously uncertain, now certain, especially after you wiped out Japan. You’re a Longxia person, being patriotic is good. Buddhism is also a foreign force, regardless of whether it’s foreign, those bald-headed ones only teach people to kneel before Buddha statues and look up to the sky when in distress. What’s the use? They should be killed! Lastly, because of the emergence of tasks, would you give up those rewards? Plus, you’ve already killed monks from the Great Buddha Temple.” Cen Yunuo explained.

“True.” Lu Ran shrugged and said.

Then he added: “I don’t hold much grudge against Buddhism, just doing tasks is no big deal.”

After saying that.

Lu Ran looked around.

“This Daluo Palace, as you said, is the Ancestral Court of Taoism. It’s so dilapidated now, the disciples are gone. The Taoist Sect is so marginal now, it’s precarious, fearing the Tao Lineage is about to be lost. Even if Buddhism is eliminated, is it impactful?”

Cen Yunuo was silent for a few seconds, then said: “That’s not for me to decide. But one thing, the reason Taoist Sect has degraded to this point is because of oppression by Buddhism. Their force is strong. If you want to eliminate Buddhism entirely, the resistance will be immense.”

Resistance?

Lu Ran waved his hand and said: “There’s hardly any resistance. It’s only up to whether or not I choose to kill. Anyone on the same side as Buddhism can be killed. I don’t lack reverence for life, but if they’re idiots, that’s a different matter.”

After saying that.

The two casually chatted. Cen Yunuo originally planned to bury the old Taoist.

But he forgot it had already been datafied.

The old Taoist’s corpse was directly decomposed into data in front of Cen Yunuo.

So it saved digging a hole.

She then set up a memorial tablet for the old Taoist in the shrine.

Because by the time she was done, it was already evening.

So the two stayed the night at Daluo Palace, planning to set out to find trouble with the Great Buddha Temple the next morning.

The next morning.

“How did you sleep last night?” Cen Yunuo asked with a smile.

“Just average. Shall we leave now?” Lu Ran said.

“Yeah, the Great Buddha Temple isn’t far, we’ll go straight there.” Cen Yunuo nodded.

“Not far? What do you mean? Are Buddhism and Taoism so close?” Lu Ran asked in surprise.

“What do you think? Buddhism develops everywhere, setting up temples in all directions, targeting Taoist Sect, subtly affecting over many years. Whether it be followers or influence, all increasingly inclining, trampling over Taoist Sect. Taoist Sect had no choice but to decide as such.” Cen Yunuo replied.

“Taoist Sect is truly so weak? Being so suppressed by Buddhism?” Lu Ran asked in confusion.

In theory.

A formidable Taoist Sect, with its rich heritage, culturally and in depth, shouldn’t lose to Buddhism.

Cen Yunuo explained:

“Different philosophies. You know monks go out to beg and develop, but have you heard how Taoist Sect acts?”

“Also, Buddhist disciples generally don’t return to secular life. Their influence grows, people increase.”

“But Taoists aren’t the same; Daluo Palace’s disciples don’t stay long, it’s not secularizing but becoming Fire-dwelling Taoists, dispersed among civilians.”

“Buddhism preaches mercy with hidden agendas, while Taoism stays truly pure, uninvolved with worldly affairs.”

“Such a result isn’t surprising.”

…

Cen Yunuo is quite knowledgeable on these matters.

The two headed towards the front gate.

On the way, Lu Ran curiously asked: “What kind of experience is it supposed to be?”

“What kind of experience?” Cen Yunuo asked, puzzled.

“To live again, and reincarnate with memories. It sounds so groundbreaking.” Lu Ran excitedly asked.

“What, you want to experience it yourself?” Cen Yunuo rolled her eyes at him and said irritably.

“Not really, just think it’s fascinating. The world changes too fast, it’s like suddenly arriving in another world.” Lu Ran remarked.

Before this.

Lu Ran was killing goblins, leveling up, hunting monsters, raiding dungeons, playing national wars, and dealing with other Professionals.

Now suddenly engaged with Taoism and Buddhism, feels like another world.

If Lu Ran were to release some pets here, it would be even more bizarre.

Within the Taoist Sect, came the Dark Elf Queen, Yamata no Orochi, Scale Demon Queen, etc.; it simply isn’t a product of the same dimension!

Exactly for this reason.

Proves Cen Yunuo’s earlier words.

The Data World is gradually engulfing more planes and worlds.

All kinds of products not from the same dimension are continuously merging in, confronting one another.

The two reached the doorway.

Suddenly Cen Yunuo stopped before something similar to an altar.

She checked the talismans surrounding the altar.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, “Let’s go.”

“What’s this altar thing?” Lu Ran asked, puzzled.

“What altar? That’s the Thunder Altar, a place for Taoists to conduct air flow and suppress evil spirits. You may have heard of the Demon-locking Tower? It’s a folk name, but apt.” Cen Yunuo explained.

Lu Ran turned and looked.

Indeed, at the center of the Thunder Altar, there’s a seven-story wooden tower, not eye-catching, not majestic.

Lu Ran of course has heard of Demon-locking Tower, but unrelated to Taoism.

Just before the Data World, this would appear in various TV shows and movies.

“You mean, there’s still a demon suppressed inside?” Lu Ran asked.

“Yes, but don’t worry, as long as the Demon-locking Tower isn’t damaged, it’s fine. The talismans on it can last decades, and I can always supplement and repair.” Cen Yunuo said.

Lu Ran then remembered.

Cen Yunuo was also a disciple of the old Taoist, skilled in her own right.

“Hey, since you say that, you also know Taoist Skills? But isn’t your Profession a Summoner? How does Taoist Skill exist? Skills? Do you have a special set of skills just for Taoists?” Lu Ran asked.

“Indeed, Taoist Skills do exist, but not in the form of skills. It’s just Taoist Skill and hasn’t been datafied, it’s originally attached to my soul from its original plane.” Cen Yunuo explained.

That’s quite intriguing.

A Summoner, yet knows Taoist Skills, not in skill form, but as an entirely different ability!

Just thinking.

Cen Yunuo opened the gate.

But the scene before them stunned both.

Outside the gate, densely packed, was filled with people!
