Chapter 423 Ancient Buddha's Golden Body (Please Subscribe)

Unfortunately, the man in black robes was already dead.

There's no way to prove whether the old monk in front of us was the one who instigated it.

However, this is not important.

It's not important to Chen Yi, at least.

He already had a negative view of Buddhism, so even if the old monk from the Vajra Temple in front of him was indeed well-intentioned, he would still be subconsciously on guard.

"Little Sword Immortal Qinglong, please don't take it to heart. This humble monk should thank you for cleaning up the house for Vajra Temple."

"You're too kind, Master Wunian."

Chen Yi said noncommittally, "If that's the case, then may I leave now?"

The old monk Wu Nian shook his head and bowed, saying, "This humble monk has a request. I hope you will wait a moment, little sword immortal, and let me finish."

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, "A request?"

"If I am not mistaken, Master, your Buddhist teachings are profound, and your cultivation and Buddhist supernatural powers have reached the level of an Arhat. What could possibly be difficult for you?"

Buddhism has its own set of theories, such as Vajra Arhat and Bodhisattva status. In reality, strength depends on cultivation and supernatural abilities; everything else is just abstract.

Monk Wunian smiled and shook his head, "Little Sword Immortal, you may not know this, but the Vajra Temple where I reside is now nearly deserted. Shanzhen is the only disciple of my Vajra Temple who is still traveling outside."

"Unfortunately, he was deeply ingrained with evil, and was swayed by greed and anger... Amitabha, I have gone too far."

Monk Wunian paused for a moment, a serious expression appearing on his thin face, and said:

"This time, I did know in advance that he was coming to find the Little Sword Immortal. I didn't mention it before, partly to see what kind of person Daoist Zhao thought you were."

"Secondly, it's also to ensure that Seonjin won't hurt you."

Chen Yi chuckled softly, gripped the Spring Rain Sword tightly, and Xiao Qing beside him circled around it.

"Master Wunian, you've gone around in circles, but you still haven't said what the specific issue is?"

"Please forgive me, young sword immortal. I am old and have indeed made you wait a little too long."

"What this humble monk asks for is nothing more than the hope that if the little sword immortal encounters anyone from the 'Pure Land of Bliss' in the future, he will not hold back against them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi looked at him with slight surprise, "Master Wunian, do you have a grudge against the 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss'?"

He truly hadn't expected the monk Wunian to say those words.

As far as he knew, or rather, based on his previous conjecture, "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" should represent the Buddhists in all realms of Mount Taizhou.

In particular, the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" received the inheritance from the ancient Vulture Peak, which should be related to the relationship between Buddhists and the Pure Land.

According to what Monk Wunian said, Buddhist disciples from all regions of Taizhou Mountain also have many complaints about the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss".

Monk Wunian put his hands together in prayer and said calmly, "Enmity?"

"The Vajra Temple where I reside was massacred by the 'Pure Land of Bliss,' so there is indeed some enmity between us."

Before Chen Yi could ask, he continued, "These things are also known to Daoist Zhao and others, including Xun Wangtian."

“In the past, when my Vajra Temple was located in Xiaoluotian, Buddhism flourished. Monks and nuns could be seen everywhere, and the merits and vows of Buddhism were everywhere. My Vajra Temple has been passed down for thousands of years there, and there are nearly two hundred Arhats under its tutelage.”

"But... it is precisely because of the lotus platforms in the gate that have been passed down from ancient times that the 'Pure Land of Bliss' has been eyeing us."

"That day, the 'general' personally led his men here..."

Listening to the monk Wunian's account, I learned roughly what happened that day when the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" massacred the Lesser Heavenly Beings.

Indeed, not only did the Vajra Temple suffer that day, but other Buddhist sects within the Lesser Luo Heaven were also affected, with almost 99% dying.

As a result, apart from the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss," other Buddhist disciples on Mount Taizhou have dwindled in number and rarely travel on Mount Taizhou.

"The master said that the 'general' was only after those lotus thrones?"

Chen Yi recalled the generals and Fu Chen he had seen before; each of them appeared on a twelve-tiered lotus platform.

He had thought that those lotus platforms were inherited from the ancient sacred mountain, but now it seems that most of them were scattered on Tai Zhou and were seized by the general and others.

Wu Nian nodded, then shook his head, sighed, and said, "Of course it's more than that."

“Our Vajra Temple has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and it has a great collection of Buddhist teachings, including thirty-six major and minor supernatural powers and methods, among which the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra is the most important. Most of these supernatural powers and methods were taken away by the general and others.”

"There are also many Buddhist artifacts and relics, which have almost taken away most of my Vajra Temple."

After Wu Nian finished speaking, a sad expression appeared on his face. He looked at Chen Yi and said again, "These are common knowledge among the people of Tai Zhou Mountain. If you don't believe me, Little Sword Immortal, feel free to ask Daoist Zhao."

Chen Yi remained unmoved, saying, "I will inquire myself."

"It is inconvenient for me to agree to Master Wunian's request. Even if I fight against 'Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss' in the future, it will only be because of my grudge against the general and others, and will have nothing to do with Vajra Temple or you, Master."

On the one hand, he didn't want to have any connection with Buddhist disciples.

On the other hand, even if Wu Nian didn't say it, he still had a few grudges to settle with the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Most importantly, by agreeing to this, he was essentially taking on the consequences.

This is especially important.

Since Daoist Zhao Muzi agreed to act as guarantor for the contract between the human race and the demon court, Chen Yi has understood the role of cause and effect.

It is not something that ordinary powerful beings can easily get involved in.

Even those who have broken free from the control of the "Heaven and Earth Bridge," such as Daoist Zhao Muzi and the general, will not easily accept karma unless they want to. Otherwise, they would never participate in the conflicts of the outside world.

Wu Nian seemed to know all this as well, and bowed with his hands clasped together, saying, "This humble monk has overstepped his bounds, I hope the little sword immortal will not take offense."

"Master, you're too kind."

“Little Sword Immortal, it’s not that I’m being deliberately courteous, but I believe that right now, apart from you, no one could possibly be a match for ‘Pure Land of Bliss’.”

"It's not just because of your own talent and swordsmanship, but also because of Daoist Zhao Muzi and others from Xun Wangtian. You should know that there are countless realms on Mount Taizhou, and there are very few people who can compare to a 'General'."

Monk Wunian spoke frankly and sincerely, but unfortunately Chen Yi didn't have a good impression of him.

Just listen to it.

"Furthermore, this humble monk must tell you, little sword immortal, that the general has now mastered the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra and possesses three great supernatural powers: past body, present body, and future body."

"When his three bodies are united, he will be able to achieve the supreme golden body of the ancient Buddha of Mount Ling, free from the suffering of reincarnation, and live as long as the heavens."

Chen Yi frowned slightly, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra?"

Monk Wunian nodded, "It was precisely the great supernatural power he obtained from my Vajra Temple."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi asked, "I have a question. Since that supernatural power is so terrifying, why has no one at the Vajra Temple, where you reside, master, mastered it?"

Upon hearing this, Monk Wunian gave a wry smile: "Little Sword Immortal, you don't know this. It's not that we monks don't want to, but that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra requires extremely high talent and one must go through various tribulations before one can master it."

"In the history of our Vajra Temple, only the Vajra Buddha of ancient times has attained the six realms of existence. Unfortunately, because he lacked the crucial ancient Buddha lotus platform, he ultimately failed to achieve the unification of the three bodies."

Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat, "A twelfth-grade lotus platform?"

Monk Wunian nodded and sighed, "It is indeed the twelve-petaled lotus platform under the general's seat."

“In ancient times, when Mount Ling still existed, all those ancient Buddha lotus platforms were in the hands of the ancient Buddha. Even though Vajra Buddha’s Buddhist teachings were profound, he was still inferior to the ancient Buddha, which is why he met such a tragic end.”

"Now the general has not only mastered the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra, but also obtained the crucial Ancient Buddha Lotus Platform. In the future, he may be able to unite his three bodies and achieve the body of the Ancient Buddha."

Is that so?
This was the first time Chen Yi had heard of this matter. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "I'll remember it."

"If the opportunity arises in the future, I will certainly have the chance to spar with the 'General'."

Upon hearing this, the monk Wunian smiled and said:

"Of course, this humble monk believes that with your talent and cultivation, little sword immortal, even without my request, you will definitely encounter the 'Pure Land of Bliss'."

"If the young sword immortal needs anything at that time, this humble monk will certainly go to assist you." Chen Yi said noncommittally, "In that case, thank you, Master."

Whether they come or not, I'll at least agree to it first.

As for what happens next, it won't be too late to discuss it after he has asked Xun Wangtian and the others about the Vajra Temple.

Seeing that his wish had not come true, the monk Wunian did not linger there.

Before long, the merit and vow power on the black-robed monk Shanzhen dissipated.

After scanning the area and confirming that no one was around, Chen Yi went forward and took the storage artifacts and other items from the three people.

Then he waited quietly in place for a moment.

Only after the invisible, intangible white smoke emanating from the three powerful beings at the sixth or seventh level of supernatural abilities completely transformed into his cultivation did he calm his aura and signal to Xiao Qing:
"Let's go, it's time to meet up with Alang."

"Dragon performed well today, didn't he? Does he deserve a Divine Power Realm blood core?"

Chen Yi smiled and stuffed the two blood cores of the Great Demon King into his mouth, "Worth it, worth it."

"Ouch..."

As Chen Yi crossed the Blade Valley, he immediately noticed that his mental perception was affected by the surrounding environment.

It was as if his mind was being constantly cut by sharp weapons, causing his originally expansive mental perception to be interrupted from time to time.

"Oh?"

Chen Yi looked around, silently sensing the surroundings, and then used the [Discerning Mask] to observe, but still couldn't detect those strange and unusual golden winds, so he had no choice but to step forward.

"The situation here is indeed quite miraculous."

Or rather, Mount Taizhou is magical enough to support so many realms and give birth to a magical place like Blade Valley.

Three more hours passed, and the surrounding area calmed down.

Outside Blade Valley, the cultivators who had been waiting outside filed in.

Upon seeing the situation, the people and demons stared in horror at the three corpses on the ground.

"This……"

"They are the ones who made their move outside the valley."

"How could he have died here?"

A demon surveyed the surroundings, wrinkled its nose, and said, "It was killed by one person; the scent of that person still lingers here."

Upon hearing this, the other person, without saying a word, noticed the faint silver-white light emanating from around the black-robed man and exclaimed in astonishment, "Sword Intent of Slaughter?"

"Sword cultivator?"

"Was it done by that young swordsman who entered before them?"

Amidst the crowd's speculation, someone lifted the monk's black robes and mask, examined him for a moment, and then stared wide-eyed:

"He, he... he's the monk Shanzhen from the Vajra Temple!?"

"A Buddhist master at the seventh level of supernatural powers, how... how could he possibly die here?"

"The person who made the move is so powerful, has he already reached the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm?"

"Probably!"

The identities of the other two men in black were also revealed: "'Wind and Thunder Cudgel' Sui Li, a demon who roams many realms at the foot of Mount Taizhou."

"'Ghost Face' Yu Chengfeng is a demon of the sixth realm of supernatural powers, famous for his Nuoshe supernatural powers. Although he is not good at fighting head-on, his Nuoshe supernatural powers are the most bizarre when he cooperates with others."

"Two demons at the sixth level of supernatural powers and one abandoned disciple of the Vajra Temple at the seventh level of supernatural powers were killed just like that... Did that sword cultivator really have the eighth level of supernatural powers?"

"Why couldn't we recognize such a terrifying being before? Could he have just come from outside the realm?"

As everyone speculated, someone noticed a lingering trace of dragon energy. "What is this?"

"The aura is somewhat strange, but it is clearly upright and majestic, like some kind of auspicious omen..."

"This aura is very similar to that ancient divine beast that appeared above the 'Bridge of Heaven and Earth' a while ago, the Azure Dragon?!"

"It's him!"

Someone immediately realized what was happening and said excitedly, "I know who that sword cultivator is now."

"He should be the sword immortal who was rescued by Xun Wangtian at the foot of Taizhou Mountain a few days ago."

"I remember his name was Chen Yi!"

……

Half a day later.

As darkness fell, Chen Yi finally crossed the Blade Valley, looking back with lingering fear.

At this moment, his long robe was covered with dense tears, and in some places there were wounds that were about to heal.

This clearly shows how dangerous his experience had been.

No wonder the previous map specifically marked that you should never enter when the Golden Wind is raging, as it would be extremely dangerous.

In retrospect, the above labeling was conservative.

This wasn't just extremely dangerous; it was practically a life-or-death situation.

If Chen Yi hadn't possessed the "Close to the Ends of the Earth" supernatural ability, which allowed him to penetrate the golden wind, he would probably be dead by now.

Who could have imagined that during the raging period in Blade's Edge Valley, the golden winds were so dense that they left no gaps?

"Yi-ge'er, I told you to wake up Xiaoqing, but you wouldn't listen."

Xiao Yujian's voice rang in his ears, with a hint of schadenfreude in its tone.

Chen Yi pursed his lips, waved his hand to change into a new long robe, and then leisurely walked out of the valley.

suddenly see the light.

Outside the valley, instead of mountains and forests, there was a long street lined with taverns, inns, and various shops.

Although it was late at night, there were still quite a few people on that street.

Drinking and laughing.

There were also some people fighting in an open space not far away.

It was a lively scene.

Chen Yi's mental perception expanded instantly. After seeing the surrounding situation clearly, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the open space.

One of them was dressed in a gray short outfit, with a rugged face and dark skin, and a gourd of wine hanging from his waist.

At that moment, the man was fighting with a swordsman.

In the midst of the battle, Chen Yi recognized the man with the wine gourd hanging from his waist and couldn't help but grin.

"Ah Lang, you really never have a moment to rest."

He then walked over and joined the others in watching Ah Lang and the swordsman fight.

"Hey buddy, stop pushing yourself. Your swordsmanship is too low; you can't even cut my skin. Why bother?"

"Ah Lang, shut up!"

"I'll chop you down!"
