354: Buddhist woman Chanka Miaoyin

Though the Jade-Faced Buddhist Disciple was bald, he was incredibly handsome, no less beautiful than many exquisite Fairies renowned for their beauty.

The Buddhist Maiden beside him was even more stunning than God Xi; though she wore only a simple monastic robe, it did not conceal her peerless beauty, but rather added a touch of Zen.

She had not shaved her head; her long dark hair was tied with a plain silk ribbon, falling gracefully over her slender, snow-white neck to her delicate waist, which could be encircled with one hand. Her face was perfectly flawless, her skin crystal clear and smooth, like immortal jade, and her eyes sparkled as if containing brilliant starlight.

She sat quietly on her seat, untouched by worldly desires, her entire being seemingly radiating a layer of holy Buddhist light, like a living Buddha. Her demeanor was peaceful and serene, and a single glance at her could bring immense tranquility.

“Is it beautiful?”

A gentle voice came from beside him.

Wu Ning turned his head and saw God Xi with a half-smile.

“That is the current Buddhist Maiden of the Mount Sumeru Buddhist Court—Chan Jia Miaoyin. She possesses Innate Buddhist bones and divine eyes. It is said that at her birth, auspicious signs descended from the heavens, manifesting Buddhas everywhere. She is only a little over a hundred thousand years old, yet she has already ascended to the Immortal Emperor Realm,” God Xi whispered.

Just then, the Miaoyin Buddhist Maiden raised her eyes and looked in their direction. As their gazes met, Wu Ning immediately felt a sense of Karma and destiny.

“Interesting…”

Wu Ning smiled slightly at her. This should be the power of her divine eyes, carrying a hint of the Buddhist concept of knowledge of past lives. However, it was still too weak to affect him.

A hint of surprise flashed in the Miaoyin Buddhist Maiden’s eyes, and then she returned his smile, like a spring breeze rippling and a hundred flowers blooming.

A moment later, more people arrived on the uppermost floor.

Three men and one woman, all appearing very young, dressed in luxurious golden robes, with arrogant eyes and unreservedly strong auras, they were members of the Dragon Clan.

“Fellow Daoists of the Dragon Clan, please be seated,” a God Race man cupped his hands and said politely.

Facing the God Race, the Dragon Clan members had to restrain some of their arrogance and directly chose seats closer to the front.

With the arrival of the Dragon Clan, people from the Human Race Ancestor Court, Original Demon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Innate Saint Spirit Clan soon arrived consecutively.

Wu Ning nodded secretly; each clan basically had a Young Dao Venerable present.

Once the twelve seats on the uppermost floor were filled, the seats on the middle and lower floors were also mostly occupied.

A God Race man clapped his hands, and the Prodigy gathering officially began.

The next moment, hundreds of exquisite dancers entered, and as musicians played, they began to dance gracefully.

Their postures were graceful, their dances enchanting, immortal music drifted, and various illusions enhanced the scene, making it feel like an immortal realm—a truly extravagant scene of peace and prosperity.

Everyone began to converse. Although most people did not know each other, those Young Dao Venerables were at least tens of millions of years old, so even if they had not met, they had mostly heard of each other’s names.

At the Human Race Ancestor Court’s seats, several Human Race Prodigies also greeted Wu Ning.

These individuals all possessed extraordinary bearing, with the lowest cultivation being at the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm, and the highest being a black-clothed youth who was already at the Dao Lord Realm.

His aura was profound, indicating that he had been a Dao Lord for quite some time, at least much stronger than Gu Tian.

The black-clothed man also sized up Wu Ning, then stood up and walked towards him.

“Wu Clan Dao Child, I have long admired your name!”

Before Wu Ning could ask, he continued to introduce himself: “My name is Night Dust. I also graduated from the Chaos Academy, so I suppose I am your senior.”

“Senior Night Dust,” Wu Ning cupped his hands slightly and said, “Are you looking for me for something?”

Night Dust nodded, “Several Elders from the Ancestor Court are worried that you might be assassinated, so they asked me to remind you to be careful. If you plan to leave the Tianxu God Realm, you can come with us then.”

“Thank you for the Elders’ concern. Please convey my message to them and tell them not to worry. I dared to come to the Tianxu God Realm because I have trump cards and am not afraid of being assassinated.”

“I will definitely deliver your message, but you still need to be careful. Many people are targeting you, and those fellows might even dispatch a Celestial Sovereign.” Night Dust glanced at the Demon Race seats from the corner of his eye, reminding him again.

“Thank you for the reminder.” Wu Ning smiled faintly, not particularly concerned.

With a Celestial Sovereign Realm Straw Man Puppet and various powerful trump cards, even without revealing his true cultivation, he could fearlessly face other Celestial Sovereigns.

If he were to use the protective trump card bestowed by True Martial Old Ancestor, activating the Ancestor’s Dominator power, he might even have a chance to kill a Celestial Sovereign.

Moreover, he possessed the Innate spatial supreme treasure, the Door of All Heavens. As long as he had spatial coordinates, he could travel freely throughout the Myriad Realms, allowing him to return directly to his clan.

If someone wanted to lie in wait for him, it would only mean they were overthinking it.

Night Dust saw that even when he heard of a Celestial Sovereign, Wu Ning’s expression did not change in the slightest. It was not difficult to guess that he must have trump cards to deal with Celestial Sovereigns, so he said no more.

After Night Dust left, Wu Ning thought that after this Prodigy gathering, he could visit a few Ancestor Court Elders.

“Everyone…”

After an unknown period, a God Race Young Dao Venerable with golden eyes stood up and walked to the front. His figure immediately drew everyone’s attention.

“I believe everyone has been eagerly awaiting this, all coming for this treasure exchange. So, without further ado, the treasure exchange segment begins now.”

“I’ll start us off.”

With that, he raised his hand and took out dozens of treasures: top-grade Divine Weapons, Emperor-grade Divine Medicines, Formation Flags, talismans, various top-grade Artifact Refining Materials, and even a Low Grade Dao Artifact.

It was a Dao Cauldron, but a corner of it was broken.

Dozens of treasures floated in the air, shimmering with colorful light and radiating divine brilliance, emitting various powerful auras, immediately capturing everyone’s attention.

“Everyone can take a look. If you see something you like, you can offer a corresponding treasure in exchange.”

“Only treasures are accepted, not Divine Crystals.”

Looking at the dozens of treasures, the eyes of everyone in the hall immediately grew fervent. While these items might not hold much appeal for Dao Lord powerhouses, the vast majority of those in the hall were not Dao Lords.

“Fellow Daoist, I am willing to offer two Emperor-grade Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Divine Pills in exchange for that Dao Flower!” A male Innate Saint Spirit Clan member took out two immortal jade medicine bottles, each containing an Emperor-grade Divine Pill.

The Golden-Eyed Dao Lord pondered for a moment and agreed to the exchange.

Subsequently, others spoke up one after another.

“Fellow Daoist, I want that Divine Spear. How about exchanging it for ten Emperor-grade Immortal Medicines?”

“Fellow Daoist, I am willing to exchange a piece of Primordial Divine Gold for that Spirit Sealing Divine Talisman.”

“Fellow Daoist, how about a bottle of Undying Divine Spring for your Medicine Cauldron…”

In less than fifteen minutes, the Golden-Eyed Dao Lord successfully exchanged over ten treasures. As for the remaining items, either no one was interested, or his asking price was not met, so no exchange was successful.
