192: The Buddhist disciples of the Hanging Temple reappear! Three thousand relics are melted into Buddha bones!
As early as Ancient Green City, Qin Han had deduced that this fellow would come, but when he went to Golden Scale Celebration, he did not find the bald monk’s figure.
He originally thought the star god pearl was just a gimmick, a lure specifically designed to set him up.
Initially, he was still worried if there was a trap, but after seeing the new Son of Luck, Qin Han temporarily put his worries aside.
However, no sooner had he thrown this person to the back of his mind than he appeared.
The timing was just right, not too much, not too little, precisely as he was about to enter the Kunpeng Nest.
“amitabha, Qin Han and this humble monk are fated; to meet here is destiny,” Jiekong’s voice was very soft, yet it clearly entered the ears of every living being present.
They subconsciously stopped their movements and all looked up at this ‘uninvited guest’.
“Who is this person? When did Eastern Que Spirit State have monks?”
“Judging by the style of the kasaya, he seems to be a visitor from Ximo Ancient State.”
“What? Ximo Ancient State and Eastern Que Spirit State are more than one hundred and eight thousand billion li apart; how did he get here?”
“This person has Buddha light shrouding his head, and behind him is the legendary Floating Pagoda; could he be from that place?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s hearts tightened, and cold sweat unconsciously flowed down their foreheads.
“That’s right, he’s from Desolate Ancient Pure Land!”
Hiss!
Many living beings gasped, the legendary story of Xuankong Temple was still ongoing, and many people knew that such a force existed.
“But aren’t their precepts to avoid the world and Cultivate Buddhism? Why are there still monks walking the world?” one person asked, puzzled.
“Because he is a Buddhist Son,” Qin Han slowly said.
In an instant, the air seemed to solidify, terrifyingly quiet.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten their purpose for being here, all staring at the mid-air with horrified expressions.
The Floating Pagoda slowly descended, and Jiekong stepped onto the sea surface, walking on water, with a halo appearing around his legs, untouched by the Five Elements.
“The Kunpeng Nest is fated with my Buddha; I hope all of you can grant this humble monk an opportunity to enter,” Jiekong’s fair-skinned, red-lipped face showed an expression of devout reverence.
Those who didn’t know would have thought he was truly this polite and candid.
“Even if you are a Buddhist Son, this is the territory ruled by the Sea Race; unauthorized individuals are not permitted to enter!” A Sea Race being reacted, sternly refusing, not falling for his act at all.
As the saying goes, a strong Dragon does not suppress a local snake; so what if Jiekong was the famous Buddhist Son of Xuankong Temple?
Upon reaching Gaiyou Sea Area, whether it was a Dragon or a tiger, they had to lie prostrate before them.
“The owner of the Godly Nest is deceased, so it should be ownerless; why must Qin Han seize it by force, occupying another’s nest?” Jiekong tried to reason with him.
“What rubbish about ownerless property? Didn’t you hear what I just said? This is the territory of Gaiyou Sea Area!”
“This humble monk observes that Qin Han already shows signs of becoming a demon, so allow me to enlighten you.”
Saying that, Jiekong clasped his hands and suddenly formed a seal; a Vajra Seal as large as a mountain suddenly shot out, its Aura surging, Buddha light shining everywhere.
“Not good!” That Sea Race being never expected Jiekong to act so decisively, and instinctively sacrificed his divine weapon to block it.
The golden twin shears were shattered by the terrifying Buddha light the moment they touched the Vajra Seal, and the remaining force continued to strike, instantly killing him!
“amitabha, Good luck…” Jiekong’s face was calm, without the reaction one would expect after taking a life.
“The Buddhist Son has killed!” Everyone was greatly shocked.
From the Aura of his attack, Jiekong was already a half-step Dharma Aspect, and had touched the power of the Dao!
“Divine Ability Extreme Boundary?” Qin Han saw the Buddha light flickering beneath the kasaya, and could clearly sense the power of the divine bone through his Physical Body.
“He also cultivated a divine bone?” Wu De asked in surprise upon hearing this.
“To be precise, it’s a Buddha bone!” Qin Han frowned slightly; he saw Buddha light and Sanskrit within the divine bone.
Not only that, he also found emerald green and blood-red relics embedded within the bones; according to his previous impression, Jiekong’s body contained three thousand Buddhist relics!
To have relics integrated into one’s body, how bold was such a method?
Jiekong had melted the relics formed from the nirvana of successive enlightened Buddhas of Xuankong Temple into his own body, greatly strengthening his own combat power.
This method had a drawback: if Jiekong could not suppress the residual thoughts of the relics in his Buddhist cultivation, he would very likely suffer a backlash.
Even mental derangement.
Therefore, Qin Han could roughly guess his intention for coming to the Kunpeng God Nest.
“He’s here to solve a problem, perhaps to find a Jianmu leaf.”
“Isn’t that thing for Cultivating? Is his goal not the Kunpeng Precious Technique?” Wu De asked, puzzled.
“Cultivating is one aspect; another is to purify the residual thoughts of the Buddhas,” Qin Han said.
“Three thousand relics, chanting scriptures in one’s mind day and night, even for a Buddhist cultivator, it’s easy to be driven mad, right?” Wu De secretly clicked his tongue.
It had to be said, Jiekong was extremely bold, and his ambition was also immense.
He was the first monk to enter the mortal world since the establishment of Xuankong Temple, and he must have the ambition to become an emperor.
Throughout history, there had been no Buddhist or Daoist emperors; he might want to break the zero constraint.
Jiekong’s strike intimidated others; he walked on water and came before Qin Han, bowing slightly with clasped hands in greeting.
“Qin Han, please make way; this humble monk will be immensely grateful,” Jiekong’s face was as usual, with a refreshing expression, leaving no room for fault.
At first glance, it seemed like a polite request, with no other intentions.
However, Qin Han clearly felt a subtle pressure lingering around him.
This was not a discussion, but coercion!
It was also about reclaiming the ground he lost in their previous contest.
Everyone else subconsciously retreated, their eyes filled with uncertainty.
“What if I don’t?” Qin Han said indifferently.
“Qin Han seeks the Kunpeng Precious Technique, and this humble monk only seeks the Jianmu leaf; we have no conflict of interest, why block the way?” Jiekong asked.
“You monks who abstain from meat and chant scriptures are truly interesting. If I don’t make way, will you not leave?” Qin Han said with a half-smile.
“Since that is the case, then this humble monk shall seek guidance from Your Excellency.”
As soon as his voice fell, Jiekong suddenly attacked, unleashing the Vajra Imperishable Divine Body, his entire body golden like a Buddhist bell, indestructible.
His palms were enveloped in countless blazing runes, shaking the surroundings.
“Good timing!” Qin Han had long wanted to experience his capabilities, and it was a good opportunity to see if there was any gap between himself and the Legacy holder of an Desolate Ancient force.
He then met the attack with a punch, his fist, covered in sacred light, was heavy as ten thousand jun!
“Bang!”
The collision between the two instantly erupted into a terrifying, earth-shattering Qi wave, immediately sending others flying.
“Quick, retreat!” Yan Taiyin, with a solemn expression, led his subordinates away.
The Qi wave swept through, causing sea waves to surge towards the sky.
Such a disturbance from mere Physical Body collision clearly demonstrated their strength.
Their figures were submerged in the sea waves, but the Physical Body clash did not cease; instead, it intensified.
The sound of metal clashing was incessant; one side was brilliant like gold, the other white like a holy spirit.
The two fought from the crack entrance to the island reef, and then from the island reef to the desolate island; wherever they passed, not a blade of grass grew, and plants turned into dust.
“As I expected, Qin Han has indeed entered the Divine Ability Extreme Boundary as well.”
