135: Nanshan Pure Land

【 experience points + 100,000,000 】

Swoosh! A beam of white light rose. Xu Le leveled up to Rank 71.

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth; his Soul suffered a heavy injury, as if he had been slashed by a blade.

The Buddha self-destructed, and the table and scriptures became inanimate objects without a Divine Soul, so the Contract Array naturally failed.

His Soul had suffered a severe blow. Fortunately, in the midst of misfortune, this failure occurred before the contract was completed; otherwise, losing a contract slot would have been enough to make him vomit blood in frustration.

Summoning the Little Peach Tree, Xu Le immediately felt his whole body become clear. Although he didn't heal instantly, the speed of his recovery increased by an unknown amount.

Only then did he look at the two notifications.

The experience points for the three Void Creatures—the Void Serpent, the Red-Haired Void Ape, and the Void Giant Octopus—were all 99.99 million, yet the Buddha within the scriptures reached 100 million.

Although there was only a difference of 10,000 experience points, it was a qualitative difference of 10,000; there was an essential distinction between the two.

Xu Le prepared to leave the Sea of Consciousness, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a golden glimmer floating on the surface of the sea.

He flew over to take a look and activated his Divine Eye. A row of information appeared.

【 Item 】 Divinity Fragment

【 Rank 】 mythic-grade

【 Item Details 】 A wisp of divinity originating from the Heart Buddha, possessing boundless light, boundless life, and boundless wisdom. It is one of the necessary conditions for attaining the Dao and becoming a god.

"Divinity? Then wouldn't that Buddha be a god?"

Xu Le shook his head. He still didn't think the Buddha was a god, and even less did he think he could slaughter a god.

He barely managed to win against Rank 99 Void Creatures, so slaughtering a god was even more impossible.

Unless... that was just a fragment of the Heart Buddha's Divine Soul, whose strength was barely a notch stronger than a top-tier Void Creature.

Therefore, the Heart Buddha must still be alive. If he were to use this fragment, he would likely attract the monstrous wrath of the Heart Buddha.

Xu Le's eyes flickered. He directly gathered the power of his Sea of Consciousness and began to refine and use the divinity.

He had already killed the other party's Clone; he didn't think returning the "corpse" would appease the other party's anger. Besides, why should he?

It was clearly the other party who had set the trap, actively luring them in. Even when the spider and the Cockroach chose to flee, they were still firmly fixed outside by the other party's manipulation of time flow. The intention was self-evident.

If you have too many debts, you don't worry. He already knew he had offended the Serpent Mother, the God of Death, and the God of Fire; adding one more Heart Buddha didn't matter.

If they really wanted to settle accounts with him, they could fight amongst themselves first. Right now, the most important thing was to improve his strength, and then he would round them all up.

Two days later.

The golden divinity was completely refined into a colorless state, taking on the shape of Xu Le.

He only felt a wave of comfort in his Soul, like eating a slice of iced watermelon in the middle of summer.

Regaining his composure, he opened his attribute panel:

【 Name 】 Xu Le

【 Class 】 Holy Contract Master (SSS Rank)

【 Rank 】 71 (42,580,000 / 150,000,000)

【 Talent 】 Innate Divinity, The Gift, Raven Emissary

【 Strength 】 8525+7000

【 Agility 】 8925+7000

【 Physique 】 8525+7000

【 spirit 】 8530+7000 + 800 (scythe of death staff) + 100 (Divinity)

【 Skills 】 Divine Eye, Contract Array, Mind Link, Life Recovery, Conceal Aura, Mental Shock, Earth Spike, Hurricane Howl (Equipment), Reapers Scythe, Void Evasion, Chain Lightning, Charged Strike (Equipment)

【 Equipment 】 scythe of death staff, Shadow Ghost Ring, space ring, traceless ring, soul of the black bird, demon moth wings

【 Items 】 Drum-Beating Void-Shattering Hammer (Unequipped), Clone Puppet, Dark Moon Mystery Set, space ring, Violent Tiger Fang (Dagger), Banshee Heart, Directional Teleportation Scroll, Devilish Qi Purification Talisman, Delicious Cookies, Tent, etc.

A wisp of divinity only increased his spirit attribute by 100 points. However, these 100 points of spirit attribute were different from the rest; when casting Skills, they could explode with 100 times the damage. This was equivalent to 10,000 points of spirit.

Is this what a god is? All attributes equivalent to 100 times that of a Mortal? Or just the main attribute? After all, his other attributes hadn't changed at all.

Putting this unanswered thought behind him, Xu Le opened his eyes and looked at the failed Contract Array.

The table and scriptures were dim and lusterless, so Xu Le instinctively cast "Divine Eye".

【 Item 】 nanshan pure land

【 Rank 】 mythic-grade · Yellow

【 Item Details 】 Created by the Heart Buddha using his own Domain, it contains a trace of the mysteries of the Heart Buddha's Divine Domain. It requires the use of divinity to bind and use.

After obtaining the divinity, Xu Le's Divine Eye was finally able to function.

He placed his hand on the table, imagining binding them using the divinity.

A wisp of Mental Energy flowed out from his Sea of Consciousness, circled the table and the scriptures, and easily completed the binding.

Xu Le knew this was because the Heart Buddha Clone that had previously bound this Divine Artifact had been killed, leaving the Divine Artifact ownerless; otherwise, it would never have been so simple.

Furthermore, he could currently only bind this one Divine Artifact; even if he encountered similar Divine Artifacts that required divinity to bind in the future, he could only stare helplessly. Unless he obtained more divinity.

Picking up the table and scriptures, he thought that taking them out during battle really lacked style; if they could turn into a sword and be carried on his back, wouldn't that be incredibly cool?

Swoosh! His hand felt light, and the table and scriptures transformed into a long sword with a strap.

"Is it this intelligent?"

He then imagined it turning into a gourd, a backpack, sunglasses, and a hat, and it could easily transform into all of them.

In the end, Xu Le chose to let it turn into a ring; after all, he could wear rings on all ten fingers.

Acting cool gets you struck by lightning; keeping a low profile is how you make a fortune.

The nanshan pure land is the prototype of a Divine Domain; using it can construct a Divine Domain. No matter how long one stays inside, the time in the outside world will not change.

A bit dull. However, if used well, it could definitely change one's fate against the heavens.

For example, hiding inside after being seriously injured and waiting until he was fully recovered before going out; after being besieged, pulling some enemies in, killing them, and then pulling in another batch, cycling through to kill ten or a hundred times as many enemies; or in a critical moment, hiding inside to think of a foolproof plan, and going out to solve the problem after figuring it out...

However, Xu Le currently only had 100 points of divinity, so he could only keep it open for a maximum of 1 day.

"It's time to go see our two friends outside."

Xu Le's heart stirred, the temple disappeared, and then he saw the whole world as if the play button had been pressed; the spider and the Cockroach were braving the void wind and fleeing into the distance.

Hearing the commotion behind them, the two monsters caught a glimpse of only Xu Le remaining in place, and they couldn't help but reveal expressions of terror.

Especially the spider, which screamed out loud. "Chi chi chi..." (I don't know anything.)

The originally strange sounds were actually understood by Xu Le, who grasped the meaning within them. It seemed the Heart Buddha divinity had some additional side effects.

Heart Buddha, heart; because it was through telepathy, was that why he could understand the other party's words? So that was it.

The nanshan pure land did not change the flow of time; rather, the speed "in the heart" was infinitely faster than the time in the outside world.

Having figured out this point, the look in Xu Le's eyes as he gazed at the spider brightened by two degrees. A thief claiming "there is no silver buried here"! He definitely needed to have a good chat with it.
