"Brother Long is indeed thoughtful and meticulous. This is the key!"

The monk surnamed Cai praised with a mysterious look on his face, then lowered his voice and said solemnly.

"According to reliable information, the Holy Land may return to our cultivation world in the near future, allowing our cultivation world to return to a time of fairness and justice!"

"That's impossible! The holy land is firmly sealed by the monument and guarded by two great Mahayana cultivators from our cultivation world. If the people from the holy land want to get out, I'm afraid there's no way in..."

The monk named Long frowned slightly and kept shaking his head, feeling that it seemed unreliable.

"You must have heard of that rumor!" Unexpectedly, the monk surnamed Cai still smiled calmly.

"Rumors? You mean the rumors about Holy Light..."

As he spoke, the monk surnamed Long turned his head in disbelief and looked at the sun that was emitting dazzling light.

"The rumors may be true..." The monk named Long said meaningfully, meeting the other party's shocked gaze, and then said solemnly.

"The Holy Light Ceremony, who says you have to go to the Holy Land to participate? The Holy Light is everywhere..."

As he spoke, the monk surnamed Cai faced the sun with a pious look on his face, looking very much enjoying it.

"Brother Cai, you..." At this time, a bold guess arose in the mind of the monk named Long.

"That's right! I also think it's true. I've even tried it, and it does have some effect! Haven't you seen that my cultivation speed has increased a lot over the past hundred years?"

The monk named Cai simply admitted it.

"You should know that my cultivation level was originally far behind yours, but now I have surpassed you and am only one step away from the Golden Core stage!"

"......" After hearing this, the monk surnamed Long was even more surprised, and his expression changed.

"Brother Cai, you and I are brothers. Tell me clearly whether you feel like you are being controlled. I don't want my Long family to become puppets of others!"

After thinking for a long time, the monk surnamed Long couldn't resist the desire in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course not. I had the same suspicion as you earlier, so I deliberately put it to the test! Humph! Rumors, everything is just a rumor!!!"

At this time, the monk surnamed Cai said with a cruel look on his face, as if he had been deceived for countless years and had suddenly come to his senses.

"That's right! Rumor has it that the sooner you comprehend the Holy Light now, the sooner we, the Holy Lord, will be able to enjoy the true Holy Light Ceremony when we return to earth! That is when you will truly embark on the path to immortality..."

"Oh? Is that true?!!!" The cultivator named Long took a step forward, a look of longing appearing on his face.

"Of course! That's what I said. Besides, even if I didn't have the opportunity to go to the Holy Land, I have already achieved some real success! Being able to break through the realm is better than anything else. Speaking of which, Brother Long, your life span is almost over, right? Oh... you should think more about yourself!"

"Brother Cai, please help me!" At this time, the monk surnamed Long also threw away the worries in his heart and bowed very seriously.

"Brother Long, no need to be so polite! We are brothers, how can I just watch you fall into despair?"

The monk surnamed Cai hurried forward, raised his hands slightly, and spoke sincerely.

"Then please teach me, Brother Cai!"

"Brother Long, you'd better think it through. If this gets out, it will be a crime punishable by death..."

"Hmph...Death is the end of the world! My life is already in danger, why would I bother with him so much?"

Unexpectedly, the cultivator surnamed Long didn't care at all at this moment. It seemed that he was also affected by the other party's great increase in cultivation.

His eyes became more determined.

"In that case, Brother Cai, please remember this..."

As he spoke, the monk surnamed Cai leaned over and the two began to communicate with each other.

Ning Ping's mind moved slightly from afar, and he heard the other party's voice transmission.

The content of the message was nothing special. It was the prayers chanted by the monks of the Holy Land at the Holy Light Ceremony, which Ning Ping was also familiar with. There was nothing special about it.

Then there is the practice method which is somewhat special.

Most cultivators, unless they are practicing special techniques, usually practice in a quiet secret room.

As for the monk named Cai, he said that when practicing, he had to be under the scorching sun and silently recite the prayer in his heart to show his sincerity.

I'm afraid that practicing in the sun is the key.

The role of the prayer may be more to relax the mind so that the holy light can more easily penetrate the monk's soul.

After finding out this, Ning Ping had a rough idea in his mind, and his face became more serious.

Even from this small example, we can see that the infiltration of the Holy Land is already very widespread.

The good news is that this only exists in low-level cultivators, and high-level cultivators should not be so easily bewitched.

And what the cultivator surnamed Cai said, that cultivation is more difficult nowadays, is just a complaint.

In fact, there was a plan for this early on. Not to mention other things, elixirs and other commonly used items for cultivation are actually 20% cheaper than before.

But there are naturally many unhappy cultivators among them, as the path of cultivation is inherently difficult and goes against the will of heaven.

So this kind of rhetoric has a breeding ground.

As expected, the cultivator named Long was still somewhat cautious and did not make this method public. It was obvious that he wanted to try it himself first.

Together with each other, the two came to a nearby hilltop and began to practice.

After a brief exchange, the two began to practice.

The monk surnamed Cai moved his lips slightly, and it seemed that he was reciting the prayer of the holy land.

With Ning Ping's powerful soul, it was of course easy for him to detect the other party, and the other party was completely unaware.

In Ning Ping's consciousness, as the other party's skills were running, there were no other special changes in his body.

Just as he had thought before, the amount of control over the monks' thoughts contained in this holy light should be extremely low.

However, the faint light from the body of the monk surnamed Cai was clearly audible.

However, compared to before, the light on the monks who had experienced the Holy Light Ceremony was much dimmer.

Judging from the content of their previous conversation, this cultivator must have been practicing this method for a long time, perhaps as long as a hundred years.

Based on this speculation, the time consumed in the Jindan stage will probably be even longer.

For cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, the time required would probably be even longer.

This vaguely matched what he had in mind. Otherwise, if the light contained the strong will of Immortal Lord Luo Kun, the situation would have been completely out of control long ago.

But even so, the current situation is very tricky.

Ning Ping was not in a hurry and just waited for them quietly.
