Chapter 974: Chapter 975: Pointing the Sword at Tianxuan Temple!
At the same time.
In the main city of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom, within the Tianxuan Temple.
A group of Buddhist monks furrowed their brows, apparently pondering some difficult problem.
Monk Xuan Bei sat at the end, in what used to be his own monastery before Master Tianxuan had repurposed it into Tianxuan Temple.
“Amitabha, Bodhi Temple has run into trouble, and there is no word from the members of the Heavenly God Sect. Can any wise nephew tell this old monk exactly what has happened?”
Atop a high seat, an emaciated old monk spoke softly, his expression calm yet betraying an underlying anger that was discernible to all.
...
The Bodhi Temple housed their painstakingly cultivated experimental materials, which had always been strictly guarded by the Heavenly God Sect. Now, the silence from the sect meant that these materials had likely been taken by others.
“Amitabha, this disciple has already sent people to uncover the truth. A cultivator named Li Xiaobai has recently risen to prominence in the Earth Spirit Realm, and yesterday he appeared in the Northern Region, where he killed King Weiwu. Today, he showed up in the Western Desert and turned the Bodhi Temple upside down. His approach is fierce, and I’m afraid he won’t be easy to deal with.”
A monk below took out a copy of the Immortal Spirit Daily from his bosom and handed it up.
This was issued early this morning, and the entire paper was full of topics concerning Li Xiaobai, a rising star who had soared from the Earth Spirit Realm to the Central Origin Realm and had now returned with a vengeance.
“Amitabha, so it’s him. This old monk has heard of him. I heard that on that day, King Weiwu let go of a youngster who must be this same person. I never imagined that in such a short time he would cultivate to such an extent. He could actually kill King Weiwu, which means at least he has entered the Earth Immortal Realm. It is understandable that the Heavenly God Sect is no match for him.”
“However, what concerns this old monk the most are the whereabouts of those children. Go and investigate again, we must take those children back! This relates to whether the Buddhist Sect can produce another unparalleled master!”
Monk Tianxuan said coldly.
“Yes!”
The monks responded.
“Master Xuan Bei, what are your thoughts regarding this Li Xiaobai?”
Master Tianxuan looked toward Monk Xuan Bei, who was sitting at the doorframe, and spoke blandly.
“Amitabha, this monk does not know.”
Monk Xuan Bei brought his hands together, chanting the Buddha’s name and staying silent. His heart trembled continuously. That junior from the past had returned, and he had returned with an unparalleled sharp edge sweeping through, successively killing both King Weiwu and the Heavenly God Sect, towering like insurmountable mountains. His realm was no longer something Xuan Bei could gauge.
“This old monk has heard that you’re on good terms with that Li Xiaobai. Tell me, if this old monk were to hang you up outside Tianxuan Temple, do you think he would come to save you?”
Monk Tianxuan continued speaking, with a cold smile on his face.
Xuan Bei shook his head, his expression indifferent as he said, “Amitabha, Master Tianxuan need not go to such lengths. If Li Xiaobai has arrived in the Western Desert, then he would not merely target the Bodhi Temple. If this monk is not mistaken, the young man must already be on his way to Tianxuan Temple.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cry of alarm came from outside the hall: “Abbot Master, someone has fought their way here!”
“What’s happening? Who has fought their way here?”
Master Tianxuan’s eyes suddenly turned fierce. Could it be that Xuan Bei had guessed correctly, and Li Xiaobai had come to kill?
“Reporting to the Abbot Master, the comer is a young man, whose aura is fierce and who is followed by a hundred children. The defensive positions outside Tianxuan Temple have been completely leveled by him. Please make an early decision!”
The reporting sect disciple outside the hall spoke with a tremble in his voice.
“Rubbish, daring to run wild within Tianxuan Temple, he truly doesn’t see this old monk as a threat. If he truly dares to come, this old monk will make him regret it for the rest of his life!”
Monk Tianxuan’s face flashed with a trace of ferocity, and with a tap of his Zen staff, he, along with a group of monks, slowly walked out of the great hall. Merely from the description of the visitors as “Sect Disciples,” he knew it had to be Li Xiaobai.
That he would bring a hundred children directly to him, how little did he regard him?
You should know, he was currently the only Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator in the Earth Spirit Realm! One could say he was an invincible existence. Yet, under this sky, someone dared to challenge him, truly seeking death.
…
At this moment, outside Tianxuan Temple, dust swirled, and a ferocious and terrifying Steel Behemoth roared forward. A young man in white sat lazily on it with a hundred children, a Huazi dangling from his mouth, smoking it off and on. As the breath of the Huazi entered their bodies, the eyes of the children instantly cleared up, and the side effects of being eroded and assimilated by the Power of Faith disappeared without a trace.
Yet these children were all very young, generally just a bit older than babies, only able to babble and toddle, unable to communicate normally.
This heavy-duty truck was acquired with Immortal Stones and rampaged across the Immortal Spirit Continent without an equal.
The checkpoints set up by the monks in front of the temple were as good as non-existent, demolished in a single encounter.
“Master, we’ve arrived, Tianxuan Temple is right ahead!”
Fu Tiantian parked the truck and said.
“Very well, you siblings look after these children. I will be back shortly.”
Li Xiaobai summoned a golden chariot and drove into Tianxuan Temple.
Now Tianxuan Temple had completely changed its appearance. Not only had its name been altered, but even the statue of the Buddha enshrined within the temple had been removed and replaced with a human figure, emaciated and gaunt, with a plaque beside it bearing the words “Master Tianxuan.”
This old monk also had some interesting plans—coming to the Immortal Spirit Continent to impose his will was not enough, he even erected a statue of himself for worship. He was determined to become a Living Immortal on the Immortal Spirit Continent!
“Are you Li Xiaobai?”
In the courtyard of Tianxuan Temple, which was crowded with people at the moment, over a hundred Buddhist monks were arrayed in battle readiness, warily watching the young man in white who was slowly approaching. It was he who had killed King Weiwu and nearly destroyed the re
“The new method of cultivation is not to be explored in this manner, Master. You have not only donned a false appearance, but you have fallen into demonhood. Go on the road to the Western Paradise and repent your sins before Buddha!”
Li Xiaobai said coldly, the longsword in his hand swept out, unleashing an earth-shattering Sword Intent against the Monk Tianxuan before him; strands of black energy sought to corrode everything.
After the series of shocks, the tidal waves in Monk Tianxuan’s heart could not be calmed for a long time as he stared blankly at the Sword Intent sweeping before him, only reacting after quite a while.
“Demon Subduing Talisman!”
A golden talisman appeared in the void, blocking the path of the Demon-Sealing Sword Intent.
The eerie black aura intertwined and spread, the Buddhist radiance on the golden talisman flared, blocking the Sword Intent.
Seeing this, Monk Tianxuan was actually the one taken aback, his expression gradually taking on an air of excitement.
“Amitabha!”
“You are not of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; you are merely of the Earth Immortal Realm’s cultivation level?”
“A mere Earth Immortal Realm dares to deceive this old monk? I was almost fooled by you!”
Monk Tianxuan was furiously enraged, realizing after the actual fight that the opponent’s cultivation level was not as strong as he had imagined.
Is he really just a junior cultivator? Did he actually have a moment when he thought he encountered a formidable opponent?
“Hehe, sorry about that. I got caught up in the act just now, almost forgetting that I currently have only the strength of the Earth Immortal Realm.” Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.
“Youngster, die!”
The Buddhist aura around Monk Tianxuan surged wildly, a lion of the Buddhist Sect burst forth behind him and soared into the sky, its ferocious fangs snapping viciously towards Li Xiaobai.
[Attribute Points +1,000,000…]
[Attribute Points +1,000,000…]
Li Xiaobai stuffed a handful of Heavenly Fragrance Life-extending Pills into his mouth, his physical body cycling between severe injury and recovery.
Monk Tianxuan, in his furious state, was casting his Cultivation Technique recklessly, intent on completely subduing the detestable youth before him, totally unaware that unbeknownst to him, a crimson sun had slowly begun to rise behind the temple.
