After several days of recuperation, Ye Wen's body gradually recovered. As he hadn't sustained any serious injuries, a few days of proper care saw him return to his former self, with no trace of his recent wounds apparent.

With his condition improved, Ye Wen turned his attention to Hasna’s situation, the first step being to formally accept her as his disciple.

The initiation ceremony was solemn. Ye Wen was now the Patriarch of the Shu Mountain Sect, his seniority matched by only a handful of individuals in the entire sect. Most of the hundreds on the mountain were his juniors, making his acceptance of a disciple a major event for Shu Mountain.

Because of this, Hasna completed the entire discipleship ritual under the gaze of nearly everyone in the sect. Fortunately, possessing Wu Zhen's memories, she understood the importance of the etiquette and caused no mishaps during the ceremony, ultimately completing all the necessary, tedious formalities.

Once the rites concluded and the crowd dispersed, Ye Wen led Hasna back to the inner courtyard and asked, "What martial arts have you learned in this life?" Hearing Ye Wen's question, Hasna executed a few chopping motions, "I learned saber techniques!"

"Nothing else?" Shaking her head, her scattered, slightly curly long hair flew about.

Ye Wen massaged his temples. "Then do you know how to practice internal cultivation?"

Hasna paused, seemingly searching for the meaning of 'internal cultivation.' After a long moment, she recalled the relevant information from her memories and nodded uncertainly, "I should... know..." Seeing her hesitant answer, Ye Wen realized that even if Hasna knew about it, she likely lacked understanding of the intricate details. "Then what were your previous cultivation methods?"

Hasna considered this. "My previous cultivation method? You mean the Buddhist divine abilities I cultivated in my past life?"

Ye Wen nodded. "I've been thinking about this these past few days while I was free. If you are to cultivate, you can either practice our sect's techniques or re-cultivate the Buddhist divine abilities from your past life. Which do you think is better?"

"They seem the same..." Hasna didn't perceive much difference, even proposing a suggestion that surprised Ye Wen: "Can't I practice them together?"

"Ah?"

Buddhist divine abilities and Daoist internal arts? Ye Wen genuinely didn't know if they could be practiced concurrently. However, upon reflection, the genuine internal arts of the Xuanmen sect rarely conflicted with anything else; perhaps the only conflict would arise with some of the more unorthodox, peripheral techniques. If Hasna wished to practice both, it didn't seem impossible.

"I'm not sure about that, but you can try it yourself!" He casually produced two secret manuals: the Full Purity Art and the Primordial Spirit Essence Refinement Art, used for initiating disciples in the Shu Mountain Sect. "These two techniques are required studies for all sect disciples. Every single one must start their cultivation with these two manuals!"

"As for what level of attainment you reach in the future, it will all depend on how far you can advance these two techniques!"

The Full Purity Art might be replaced soon, but the Primordial Spirit Essence Refinement Art would be continuously practiced until Hasna could cultivate techniques like the Heaven and Earth Supple Body or other methods capable of tempering the physical form.

Hasna took the two manuals, examining them curiously. They appeared to be ordinary booklets, faintly emitting the scent of ink.

"No need to look so closely. I just copied these new ones these past few days."

"Oh!"

At Ye Wen's remark, her interest waned. Confirming they were merely common Shu Mountain items, she naturally stopped scrutinizing them.

The master and disciple stared at each other for a moment before Ye Wen finally asked, "By the way, I don't know much about your previous world. What deities do you have over there?"

Ye Wen had only heard of Islam, the religion observed by Muslims, but had no detailed knowledge of it—the only thing he knew was that Muslims don't eat pork, and he only learned the reason later: it seemed Muslims considered pigs unclean and thus avoided contact with them.

Upon Ye Wen's question, Hasna did not conceal anything. Moreover, now possessing Wu Zhen's memories, she knew about both Islam on Earth and Islam in the Immortal Realm. Naturally, she could emphasize the differences between the two. Furthermore, thanks to Wu Zhen's influence, Hasna showed no inhibition when discussing her faith and deities.

After she had explained for a while, Ye Wen suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? So Islam here has many gods!" It was only after Hasna spoke that Ye Wen realized that in this realm, in addition to Allah, Muslims also revered three goddesses: Sun, Almighty, and Fate. On Earth, these three were deities worshipped by the people of that region before the advent of Islam.

Thinking it over, Ye Wen grasped the key point. Setting aside the deities whose domains conflicted geographically with Islam, the very premise of the "Allah is the one true God!" doctrine practiced by Islam on Earth made no sense in the Immortal Realm's context.

In the Immortal Realm, there were countless gods of varying sizes, and unlike on Earth, these gods were not ethereal beings difficult to locate but existed concretely, occasionally demonstrating their power in public view. If Allah arrogantly declared himself the sole god, his only outcome would be annihilation!

In fact, as Hasna continued to narrate, Ye Wen gradually understood that Allah had indeed nearly been annihilated!

Initially, Allah was quite arrogant, proclaiming himself the sole true god. However, at that time, the Heavenly Faction had not yet been established because their realm was also in chaos. But later, when the factions reconciled, finding their ideologies or habits somewhat aligned, they unified. At that time, the Allah faction still adhered to the doctrine of one true god, which angered the surrounding various factions and led to them being besieged.

"No wonder Muslims were driven and hunted so fiercely..." Ye Wen murmured, "They truly brought it upon themselves."

The Heavenly Faction had also been very exclusionary in those years, even denouncing other deities as heretical evils. But they were quick to recognize the shifting tide. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, they decisively changed their stance. Thus, the Heavenly Faction grew stronger, almost occupying most of the continent north of the Mediterranean, especially the fertile regions.

The Olympian Gods were less interested in territory; they simply enjoyed warfare. Islam provided them with ample justification, so the Olympians contributed significantly to the siege battles. However, their final gains were far less than those of the Heavenly Faction—though the Olympians were still satisfied, feeling the fighting had been exhilarating!

The situation with the Buddhist Realm was even simpler—they directly labeled Islam as the domain of demons and constantly launched demon-slaying campaigns. However, after so much time had passed, these conflicts had long since lost their original flavor.

The Islamic forces also changed. Allah began to acknowledge the existence of other gods, even incorporating the three goddesses who didn't originally belong to the Islamic system into his faction. It can be said that the three goddesses are now among the more formidable entities within the Islamic power structure. With the zealous assistance of the hundreds of lower-tier gods under them, this faction managed to survive.

"But this has also caused divisions in the faith among my people; they are no longer as united as they once were..."

Ye Wen, however, thought this outcome was for the better; at least they were no longer foolishly provoking trouble everywhere. As for the predicaments Islam faced, he had no intention of managing them. He was only puzzled about how so many distinct religious factions were connected to Earth.

Perhaps sensing what Ye Wen was wondering through Wu Zhen's memories, Hasna casually replied, "Actually... it's quite simple... Each god, before leaving Earth, leaves behind some lower-ranking spirits to propagate their existence..."

"..." Ye Wen hadn't expected the reality to be so straightforward. Hasna then even recalled more astonishing facts from Wu Zhen's memories: "For instance, the Caliph in the Islamic sect inherited a task assigned by Allah. After completing that task, they came to the Immortal Realm, and now they are the deities of the Islamic world!"

After talking with Hasna for a while, Ye Wen began guiding her in cultivating her internal arts. Ye Wen watched over her until she smoothly stepped through the gateway of cultivation, only then relaxing.

However, Ye Wen also noticed that as Hasna cultivated, Buddhist energy surged around her. It seemed that although she had obtained some of Wu Zhen's Buddhist power, she hadn't truly integrated it for her own use. During her practice, the Buddhist energy seemed to overflow uncontrollably. If it had been the former Wu Zhen, such a situation would never have occurred.

Hasna seemed to realize her own issue as well, frowning and muttering, "These things... I was going to give up on them, but discarding such powerful energy feels too much of a waste!" Ye Wen knew Hasna’s ultimate goal in cultivation was to settle scores with the Buddhist Realm, and it was ironic that she had been reincarnated as a monk and inherited such surging Buddhist power. He couldn't tell if this fate was a blessing or a vexation.

Fortunately, because Wu Zhen had been a high monk in his past life, a wealth of Buddhist wisdom was passed down to Hasna. While it might not instantly enlighten Hasna into becoming another great... nun, it could allow her to set aside her preconceptions and view her Buddhist energy more objectively.

Ye Wen was quite objective about it. Looking at Hasna’s swirling Buddhist power, an idea for a martial art surfaced in his mind!

That martial art was also acquired through summoning in the Changbai Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, like the Innate Heaven and Earth Skill, he had only obtained the initial moves. In terms of sheer power, it wasn't necessarily stronger than the Innate Heaven and Earth Skill, but in terms of fame, it was certainly not weaker.

Ye Wen hadn't practiced it because he was focused on mastering the Primordial Chaos Scripture and hadn't found the time. Later, he simply forgot about it, and besides, it was a Buddhist technique, not entirely aligned with his own style!

Instructing Hasna to continue meditating and circulating her energy, Ye Wen returned to his sleeping chamber. He casually took out that secret manual and, looking at the thin booklet, the four large characters on the cover gave Ye Wen a rather amusing idea.

"It would be quite interesting to have a Muslim cultivate a Buddhist martial art and then use it to beat those Arhats and Bodhisattvas, wouldn't it?" Thinking this, he began copying the contents of the thin booklet onto a blank scroll. To use it as quickly as possible, Ye Wen specifically used the special ink he had obtained from Cui Jun—the kind that dried instantly upon writing. He effectively squeezed Cui Jun’s entire stock dry.

He bent over the writing table, even copying the accompanying illustrations with perfect fidelity. By the time Ye Wen finished, Hasna had also nearly completed her first cultivation session since becoming his disciple. Holding the transcribed manual, Ye Wen returned to the courtyard. The leaves, having begun to yellow and fall with the onset of autumn, had almost covered Hasna entirely. Yet the girl paid them no mind; instead, she opened her eyes and continuously touched her own body, as if something was missing.

"What are you looking for?"

"Master... this internal art is so interesting!" Hasna seemed to recall something amusing as she pointed to her chest, "It feels like a little mouse is scurrying around inside, hahaha!"

As she gestured on her body, her loose robes were pressed tightly against her figure. Coupled with her hearty laugh, the fullness of her chest, which Ye Wen hadn't paid much attention to moments before, shook dramatically, and the two distinct points beneath the fabric made Ye Wen nearly choke on his phlegm.

"Stop fooling around!"

Fortunately, Ye Wen was a man accustomed to big storms; such minor stimulation was insufficient to make him lose composure. He only realized he had been momentarily distracted, attributing it to having been too long since he last enjoyed intimacy with his wives.

While contemplating whether he should summon Hua Yi or Ning Ruxue back—one busy teaching a disciple, the other focused on her own cultivation—he handed her the manual in his hand.

"What is this?" Hasna curiously took it, but the moment she saw the characters on the cover, her expression shifted rapidly. Her look seemed to carry a mixture of shock, aversion, curiosity, and utter bewilderment—truly as bizarre as possible.

While Ye Wen admired the expression change, more magical than a Sichuan opera face-change, he casually answered Hasna's question: "This is a set of palm techniques I created a few years ago, of course, with some reference material. Currently, it only has the first four moves. I didn't continue creating the rest because I became busy with my own cultivation. When you master these four moves, I will create and teach you the subsequent ones!" He paused, then added, "Of course, if you wish to create the later moves yourself, that is entirely up to you!"

Hasna’s expression finally normalized somewhat. Looking at the manual in her hands, she felt a strange mix of laughter and tears. Possessing Wu Zhen's memories, she naturally knew what those four characters signified, but with Hasna’s personality being dominant, she still found it difficult to accept this palm technique.

"Master... why do you want to teach me this set of skills?"

Ye Wen smiled. "Don't you think it would be quite interesting to use Buddhist things to defeat those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?"

Hasna blinked. She had considered several possibilities but had genuinely not thought of it that way. But at Ye Wen's suggestion, images began flashing involuntarily in her mind. As a result, she was surprised to find that if such a scenario actually occurred, it would indeed be very interesting.

In truth, Ye Wen didn't mention the real reason: the surge of Buddhist energy within Hasna might resonate with this Buddhist palm technique. Coupled with Wu Zhen's deep understanding of Buddhist doctrine, Hasna was the most suitable person among the hundreds of disciples in Shu Mountain to cultivate this skill—even Ye Wen was not her equal in this regard.

Hasna touched the cover before finally nodding. "Then I will practice this 'Buddha's Palm' skill... Master said there are only the first four moves?"

"Yes... only the first four moves." The set Ye Wen summoned was likely the Datang version of the Buddha's Palm from the Son of Heaven series. Because he hadn't watched that entire series completely—only glancing at a few parts—Ye Wen specifically rewatched the Son of Heaven series and realized there were two versions of the Buddha's Palm, even within the same series.

In the volume primarily detailing the Buddha's Palm, its practice required coordination with Buddhist weapons, but the set Ye Wen summoned was the version that didn't require weapon synchronization.

The four palm techniques he received were the first through the fourth moves. Each move had a specific added effect, possessing tremendous force, but the forms themselves were not particularly exquisite—it was a palm technique relying on raw power.

"This palm technique's power is immense, and mastering it requires sufficiently profound cultivation! You are only just beginning to practice now, so don't rush to master the palm technique in a short time..."

As he was speaking, he looked up to see Hasna had already flipped open the manual, reading it while gesturing with her free right hand, seemingly practicing.

Ye Wen didn't mind. Logically, with her barely initiated internal cultivation level, Hasna absolutely could not unleash this palm technique. For example, the first move, 'Buddha Light Manifestation,' released a palm strike accompanied by actual Buddha light. The current Hasna couldn't even manage to strike with that move, let alone manifest Buddha light—her internal strength was insufficient; the gathered energy would likely dissipate instantly due to lack of follow-through.

But Ye Wen hadn't expected that after waving her hands for a moment, Hasna would casually unleash a strike. Immediately, a powerful surge of palm force rushed toward him. Concurrently, as the palm struck, the Buddhist energy surrounding Hasna abruptly manifested, entirely transforming into Buddha light. Under the illumination of this light, it seemed all worldly impurities could be purified.

Ye Wen possessed deep cultivation. Although he felt a strange sensation, his movements were unaffected. With a raising of his hand, he unleashed the Dark Chaos technique, squarely meeting Hasna’s strike. The two forces collided with a faint 'pu' sound. Hasna felt the force of her strike vanish completely, leaving her entire body feeling awkward. She flung her left hand, tossing the manual aside, and prepared to execute the next move.

Seeing this, Ye Wen instantly shifted the force in his left palm to the White Cloud Smoke technique, then let out a soft exhale. The burst of energy sent Hasna flying backward, instantly negating the move she was about to execute with her left hand. Jolted by Ye Wen’s energy, she snapped back to reality, standing there sheepishly beaming at Ye Wen.

With a gesture, the manual flew into Ye Wen's hand as if drawn by a magnet. He glanced at its contents, then told Hasna, "Your execution of the 'Buddha Light Manifestation' move was good, but your force was too weak. Go back and cultivate diligently!"

"Yes, Master!" Hasna stuck out her tongue, took back the manual Ye Wen tossed over, and then took her leave.

Seeing Hasna disappear, Ye Wen looked at his palm, which still held faint traces of the Buddha light energy, and shook his head helplessly. "This disciple... seems like she won't be a quiet one either!"
