Chat Group: People in Douluo Continent wreak havoc across the heavens

Chapter 152 Lost Buddhist Supernatural Powers [Please Subscribe]

Night fell as dark as ink, slowly spreading across the world.

Along Xinzheng's main street, the warm yellow glow of candlelight emanates from the courtyards and houses, blending with the night sky to outline the city's silhouette.

Occasionally, a horse-drawn carriage would pass by on the long street, its wheels rolling over the smooth blue bricks, the clattering of hooves breaking the stillness of the night.

Many things happened during the day, and today is destined to be an eventful day, and for many, it will also be a restless night. Tonight, I toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep.

The person who started all of this is now completely uninvolved and living a carefree life.

In the backyard of Zilan Pavilion, in an elegantly furnished room, Lu Xian stood quietly by the window, gazing at the waning moon in the sky, the gentle evening breeze ruffling his black hair that draped over his shoulders.

His eyes were deep, and Lu Xian was pondering a question.

Do immortals exist in this world?

If they exist, where are they?

Throughout the entire series from Nine Songs of the Sky to The Moon of Qin, especially in the feature films, it is clearly recorded that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden exists in this world, and there is even a surviving divine beast in the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

All of this proves that there is indeed a power in this world that transcends the mortal realm, but it has never been revealed to the mortal world.

"What role does the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden play in this world? A creator goddess? Or... one of the countless gods and Buddhas?"

Lu Xian pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Perhaps when I reach a higher level of cultivation, I will come back to explore this place and gain something."

"Squeak!"

The door behind him was pushed open, interrupting Lu Xian's thoughts, and he turned around to look.

The dim yellow candlelight drew a line between the darkness outside and the outside world. A slender figure leaned quietly against the open doorway, standing silently between the light and shadow.

She wore a red dress, her melancholy eyes seemed to hold a clear spring, and her exquisite and perfect face was bright and charming, captivating the heart.

Her waist-length black hair and bright red skirt swayed gently in the breeze, and her long, slender legs beneath the red skirt seemed to be enveloped in a mesmerizing glow under the flickering candlelight.

She stood there, beautiful as a perfect work of art, a rare treasure of the world.

"I thought you weren't coming tonight."

Lu Xian chuckled.

"It took some time to get the little girl to sleep."

"Besides, if I hadn't come, Your Majesty would have been displeased again tonight, wouldn't you?"

Yan Lingji responded with a smile, her steps light and graceful. Her ample hips swayed beneath her red dress as she gracefully approached with her mysterious steps. Her long, slender arms wrapped around Lu Xian's neck like a serpent, and Lu Xian, in turn, embraced her slender waist, gradually tightening his grip as if trying to melt her into his own body.

"So proactive tonight? You're not up to any ulterior motive, are you trying to sabotage me?"

The quirky and unpredictable Fire Fairy is like a spirit born from flames, beautiful yet mischievous, someone you can see but can't have. Every move she makes tempts you to commit crimes, leaving you itching with desire.

Facing Lu Xian's slightly lowered head and teasing yet wary gaze, Yan Lingji tightened her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, closed her eyelids slightly, and offered him a kiss to show her attitude.

Their lips touched, and Lu Xian froze instantly. Then his eyes were filled with tenderness and surprise. In the past, he was always the one to take the initiative in such matters. Fire Fairy was the first person to make him take the initiative and turn the tables.

He kissed her fragrant lips, the sweet scent of orchids lingering around his nose. Their breaths gradually mingled, and the delicate body in his arms grew even hotter.

The moonlight, as clear as water, enveloped the courtyard like a veil, and also the two figures embracing each other by the window.

I don't know how much time passed.

Yan Lingji pushed Lu Xian away with seductive eyes, her cheeks flushed, her breath sweet as orchids, and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, do you believe me now?"

"Why!?"

Lu Xian still didn't quite understand why the Fire Fairy, who was throwing herself into his arms, made him hesitant to act freely.

"Hehehe." Yan Lingji covered her lips, squinted her eyes and chuckled, "Is Your Majesty perhaps feeling timid now? Then I'll have to look down on Your Majesty."

This sentence made Lu Xian frown. It seemed to be no different from the previous one, "Are you sure you can handle this, you little rascal?"

Previously, it was just verbal provocation, but now they're directly attacking us.

She doesn't even consider herself human!

Then I might as well just stop being human.

I can't stand even a little bit of it!

Even if there really is a trap today, Lu Xian is going to step into it!

With a slight tightening of his arms around her waist, Lu Xian swept the soft, boneless Fire Fairy up in his arms and strode quickly toward the bed. He didn't care about any tricks or schemes; today, he would force himself on her to get her into his mouth first.

Yan Lingji let Lu Xian hold her, resting her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. She slightly raised her sapphire-like eyes, and a handsome profile came into view.

She knew what was going to happen next, and a growing sense of apprehension about facing the big bad wolf appeared in her eyes.

Lu Xian rescued her from the water prison and later devised a plan to save Baiyue from dire straits. As a result, she developed some affection for Lu Xian, which is the main reason why she always liked to tease and seduce him.

However, this affection was not enough for her to offer herself to him.

When the two returned from outside the city on clouds today, Lu Xian casually killed Bai Yifei, thus completing the revenge for countless Baiyue people who had died under the iron hooves.

In that instant, she felt an emptiness in her heart. Her life goals and the things she wanted to do had all been accomplished for her by someone else.

It seems that there are no unfinished regrets left. She has become a free bird, without direction, yet everywhere is direction.

Birds always need to build nests, and Lu Xian's ready-made nest might be a bit cramped, but it's not necessarily a bad choice.

At least Lu Xian would protect her. Just like before outside the city, when Tian Ze upset her, his head fell to the ground the next second. He was very protective of his own, and she enjoyed that protection.

Aside from being a bit lecherous and unreliable, Lu Xian was otherwise a good person. In an era where life was cheap, it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Yan Lingji didn't really care about this flaw of his.

In Yan Lingji's view, chat groups are like matchmakers who span the world. Sometimes, you have to believe in the miracle called "fate"!

Night was falling.

When the two armies clashed, they fought hand-to-hand and killed each other without leaving a single survivor!

Women are all made of water. Lu Xian had seen the fiery and passionate Fire Fairy many times, but this was the first time he had seen the gentle and tender Fire Fairy. Even Bai Suzhen's flooding of Jinshan Temple was no more than this.

"You truly are a demoness; I need your help in my cultivation!"

Lu Xian was as calm and composed as the old monk Fahai facing the snake demon, unleashing one Buddhist technique after another. The Dragon Claw Hand was his forte, which he had already mastered to perfection. This move emphasized using strength to overcome gentleness, and Lu Xian had a deep understanding of the latter, having reached its pinnacle.

The battle gradually intensified.

Fire Fairy is indeed a demoness; she has some tricks up her sleeve. Lu Xian then uses Buddhist supernatural powers to try and suppress her, but he has to find another way: Buddhist supernatural powers allow one to travel on land!

Buddhist sword techniques are rare, and most have been lost to time.

Lu Xian's move was none other than the ultimate sword technique of breaking the orange tree, a great supernatural power of Buddhism and Taoism in the past!

Time passed, I don't know how much.

The two finally finished their sparring match and called a truce. Lu Xian successfully won the battle and fulfilled his promise, leaving Lu Xian with a bitter taste of defeat.

"There's no trick at all?"

Lu Xian was both surprised and delighted. Seeing that the Fire Fairy had fallen asleep exhausted, he gently pecked her cheek and then drifted off to sleep contentedly.

……

The affairs of the Qin Dynasty world don't actually need Lu Xian's intervention. The reason he came here this time was just to see the demeanor of this King of Qin. After seeing him, he was really just so-so. Everyone has one nose and two eyes, and he's not even as handsome as the readers he met before he transmigrated.

Even without Lu Xian's intervention, the wheels of history would still roll forward in the Qin Dynasty world, and the unification of the six kingdoms and the four seas would only be a matter of time.

With the Fire Fairy watching over things, and then sending potatoes and sweet potatoes grown by the Baiyue people to the Qin state, that would be enough to accelerate the course of history.

As for other world maps and such, there's no rush. We'll talk about them after the Central Plains are unified.

Lu Xian spent the whole morning in Zi Lan Xuan, being all lovey-dovey with Da Huo Ji. Around noon, the time limit of the time travel talisman was about to expire, so he returned to his own world.

Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

In Qian Renxue's study, Lu Xian walked out of the teleportation portal.

"You're back?"

Qian Renxue raised her eyelids slightly, then bent down at her desk again to review the memorials, her expression quite serious. This was her daily work, and she lived like a 996 corporate slave.

Little Fairy Doctor is currently helping her organize the memorials she has reviewed, categorizing them and putting them into wooden frames.

Lu Xian smiled slightly as he watched the two getting along so harmoniously. He walked over and sat on the armrest of the sofa. "Xian'er, why are you doing these boring things like Xue'er? Be careful not to pick up her bad habit of working like a beast of burden. You should focus on your cultivation and break through to the Other Shore Realm as soon as possible."

"But Master, Master's wife is really working so hard all by herself..." Little Fairy Doctor said, holding a stack of memorials, with sympathy, "She has to review mountains of memorials every day, from morning till night, and you don't even know how to help her."

"How can I help? I get a headache just looking at this huge pile of papers. She won't listen to me. She has the best cultivation talent in the entire Douluo Continent, but she wastes all her time on her desk. She's still only at the Bitter Sea Realm. If she could just put these things aside, she would have reached the Divine Bridge Realm long ago." Lu Xian said with some disappointment.

Qian Renxue put down her pen, looked up and smiled helplessly: "After all, some things have to be done by someone, right? Now that I'm in this position, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. Now that you're back, take Xian'er with you. She's still young, and this place is too confusing. Go out and explore more, get familiar with the area."

"By the way, I already had the recruitment notices sent out yesterday. I sent a copy to every major sect except Haotian Sect. Sects that are nearby will probably reply in a few days, while those that are far away may take ten days to half a month."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll take advantage of this time to go into seclusion and see if I can reach the Perfection of the Other Shore Realm. As for those who are disobedient, I'll eliminate them all when I come out of seclusion."

Having said that, Lu Xian rose from the armrest and greeted:

"Xian'er, let's go. You should also go into seclusion with me and break through to the Life Spring Realm as soon as possible. That way, you'll have the strength to protect yourself, and maybe later you can even lead a large army and become a Heavenly General who goes to war against the Star Luo Empire."

"Yes, Master, Xian'er will work hard!"

The two left the palace and bought some food in Tiandou City, which they put into Little Fairy Doctor's storage ring. Lu Xian wouldn't starve to death even if he didn't eat or drink, but Little Fairy Doctor hadn't reached that level yet.

Make preparations.

Lu Xian rode a cloud with Little Fairy Doctor to the mountain outside the city where he had been in seclusion. He carved out a stone chamber halfway up the mountain, casually set up a few array patterns, and took out more than ten pieces of pure source of varying sizes to place around the room.

With so many sources appearing, the colorful little snake in his sleeve was awakened, darted out, and lay on the largest source, comfortably squinting its eyes.

Lu Xian ignored it. It had a small appetite now, and even if it ate as much as it wanted, it wouldn't be able to eat a piece of source material the size of an egg, so it wouldn't affect its cultivation.

The Nine Transformations of the Other Shore: Each transformation requires about one or two catties of source for an ordinary cultivator. However, for a special physique like Lu Xian's, it is estimated that it may require four or five catties of source to complete one transformation. To complete nine transformations, it would require about fifty catties of source. To break through to the Dao Palace Realm, at least 500 catties of source are needed.

There's no rush with the Dao Palace for now. Not only does Lu Xian not have that many sources left, but he also doesn't have any ancient scriptures at the Dao Palace level. For now, he should focus on perfecting his cultivation at the Other Shore level.

Little Fairy Doctor held a fist-sized piece of Source and sat on a futon not far from Lu Xian. She had already entered a meditative state. With the cultivation experience taught to her by Lu Xian, her cultivation would basically not have any problems before the disaster of being lost. Lu Xian was not worried about this.

Lu Xian sat cross-legged on the futon and began his formal seclusion for cultivation.

Upon reaching the other shore, the cultivator's flesh, organs, and bones will wither and die, followed by a unique rebirth, involving nine blood exchanges and bone transformations. This is the transformation of the other shore realm.

Three days before his seclusion, Lu Xian was radiant with vitality, his entire being glowing with life force like a vast ocean. Strange phenomena appeared all over his body, making it incredibly dazzling.

After three days of this, the radiance gradually faded, and the entire cave became somewhat dim. Lu Xian's body no longer had any luster, and he looked like a withered tree, his vitality was waning, and his body had shriveled up. Compared with his previous crystal clear and flawless appearance, he was unbearable to look at.

On the seventh day of his seclusion, Lu Xian's internal organs ceased to function, he was lifeless, his bones were gray and almost decayed, and his vitality seemed to have come to an end.

By the eighth day, Lu Xian's body, like plants that had survived the cold winter, had regained its vitality and burst forth with boundless life force.

The cave was filled with brilliant light and the essence of life. Lu Xian's blood and essence were reborn, surging like a long river. His heart was beating like a drum, making a loud thumping sound. His bones were also constantly cracking. The grayness disappeared, and his body became as white as jade.

He had suffered some hidden injuries from bumps and bruises before his transmigration, whether they were on his skin, internal organs, or bones. Although they had long since healed, this time, as his body was reborn, he underwent another baptism.

The entire body is now spotless and completely reborn.

This transformation lasted for two days before Lu Xian fully woke up. His divine power surged, his physique improved significantly, and his body became stronger and more powerful than before.
