Chapter 84 A Sudden Realization in the Outhouse! Laborers lining up to use the toilet?
The night was deep, and at the construction site in the northern suburbs of Qingyun City, a scene that was eerie to the extreme unfolded.
Outside the newly built backyard latrine, tens of thousands of elites from the Zixiao Holy Land, along with old monsters from various Sects who had just been incorporated, were actually lined up in an orderly, long queue.
At the very front of the line, the True Immortal Old Ancestor Cangqiongzi and the Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo, "Xiao Yuan," were arguing until they were red in the face over the squatting spot in the latrine closest to that "Night-Luminescent Pearl."
"What does a half-bodied demonic creature like you know! This old man possesses a True Immortal body. The Universal Buddha-light emitted by this Buddha Venerable Sarira is perfect for cleansing my immortal bones! Let me go in and squat for a while first!" Cangqiongzi glared, his beard bristling.
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo didn't give an inch, tightly clutching a roll of straw paper in his hand. "Bullshit! I used to be a Demon God, and the Karmic Obstruction on me is the heaviest! The Lord embedded this Buddhist treasure in the latrine clearly to use the Buddha-light to dissolve the demonic barriers within me and achieve the unity of Buddha and Demon! Today, I am definitely squatting in this spot!"
That Origin Sarira, which once belonged to the Dominator of the Western Pure Land, the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, was now embedded all alone in the yellow mud wall of the latrine.
It emitted a soft and holy golden Buddha-light, illuminating the entire pit and the fanatical faces of the old monsters outside.
Who could have imagined that the supreme Origin of the Buddhist path would now actually become a voice-activated toilet sensor light.
What was even more ridiculous was that these powerful figures of the Central Continent actually treated using the toilet under the illumination of the Buddha-light as a supreme, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Line up! Don't push!"
As the foreman, Lei Mingzi held a stick to maintain order on the side. "Each person can only squat for half an incense stick's time! Once you've grasped the true essence of Buddhism, pull up your pants and get out quickly. There are still tens of thousands behind you waiting to detoxify!"
"A stroke of luck! This is a monumental stroke of luck!"
A Void Returning Stage Elder who had just walked out of the latrine pulling up his pants was red-faced, with tears of joy streaming down his cheeks.
With a thud, he knelt at the entrance of the latrine and shouted loudly, "The Lord's intentions are truly profound! Excreting under this Buddha-light, how could that be filth? That is clearly the Acquired Impurities and the three thousand threads of worry within us mortals! This old man has had an Epiphany! My Bottleneck has loosened!"
As soon as he shouted this, the eyes of the laborers waiting in line turned even redder.
Even using the toilet can lead to a Breakthrough? This construction site is simply the top-tier cultivation Holy Land in the entire Universe!
Just as these old monsters were dancing like demons and almost coming to blows over a single squatting spot.
"Woof!"
A dog's bark rang out.
The Ancient Devouring Beast, "Xiao Hei," in the form of a local dog, swaggered through the crowd with an arrogant gait.
It walked to the base of the latrine wall, didn't even glance at the Sarira emitting supreme Buddha-light, and directly lifted a hind leg.
"Splash..."
The sound of water being released rang out. Xiao Hei shook its body, yawned contentedly, and strolled back to the courtyard to sleep.
The entire scene fell into a dead silence.
Tens of thousands of Cultivators stared blankly at the puddle at the base of the wall, then at the Buddha Venerable Sarira, whose light had dimmed slightly from the stench of urine.
"This... this dog..." Cangqiongzi swallowed hard, his scalp tingling.
"Too arrogant! It actually ignored the Buddha Venerable's pressure and marked its territory directly under the Buddha-light?!" Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo gasped. "Could it be that this dog's Realm has long transcended the struggle between Buddha and Dao, reaching the state where All Phenomena Are Empty?!"
Just as the old monsters were wildly overthinking about a dog.
"Squeak—"
The back door of the small courtyard opened.
Lin Yuan, draped in a thin outer garment, rubbed his bleary eyes and walked out with a yawn.
He had an urgent need to urinate in the middle of the night and was coming out to relieve himself.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a dense mass of people outside. Tens of thousands of shirtless men, not sleeping in the middle of the night, were lined up neatly at the latrine entrance, with some even trembling with excitement, their faces flushed.
Lin Yuan was stunned.
He looked down at the crowd, then at the latrine emitting a soft golden light.
"You're all not sleeping in the middle of the night, just standing here like you're being punished?"
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, looking suspiciously at Cangqiongzi's action of clutching his stomach.
"Could there be something wrong with tonight's barbecue? I told you that cheap chili powder Old Wan bought wouldn't do; it must be expired."
Lin Yuan sighed and waved his hand. "Alright, alright, those with upset stomachs go deal with it quickly. If you're really so weak in the legs from diarrhea, I'll give you half a day off tomorrow. Honestly, with such weak stomachs, why try to eat heavy-flavored barbecue like everyone else."
After saying that, Lin Yuan shook his head, turned back into the courtyard, and closed the door with a "bang."
Leaving behind tens of thousands of Central Continent powerhouses outside the latrine, once again frozen in a daze.
The night wind blew past.
Cangqiongzi suddenly slapped his thigh, having a sudden realization!
"Did you hear that?! The Lord said tonight's barbecue was intentional!"
With tears of joy, Cangqiongzi pointed at the latrine emitting Buddha-light. "The Lord intentionally added 'Heavenly Dao Chili Powder' to the grilled meat to cause our stomachs to churn, all to force us to expel the Impurities from our bodies! And this Buddha-light latrine is the final place of baptism the Lord prepared for us!"
"The Lord is using this method to cleanse our marrow and reshape our Foundations!"
Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo was also trembling with excitement as he pulled Cangqiongzi aside.
"Foreman Cang! Your stomach is fine, so step back for a moment! My half-body is heavy with Devilish Qi; I'll go inside for baptism first!"
"Bullshit! This old man is going to squat under this Buddha-light until dawn today!"
Under the night sky of Qingyun City, the line to fight for a spot in the latrine grew even longer.
