178: Buddhist magic, Thousand-handed golden body

At the cliff top of Wudao Peak, beneath the green pine tree,

Bursts of Buddhist light shone like vast stars, and countless Buddhist Sanskrit characters surged out from Jiang Qingchen's body like agile spirits, profound and astonishing.

“Buzz...”

As time flowed, the Buddhist light suddenly expanded, like a blazing flame shooting straight into the sky, shimmering with golden brilliance.

It was like a golden Dragon coiling in the Void Realm, or like countless golden Arhats chanting Sanskrit in unison, each with a different form, majestic and solemn!

Jiang Qingchen's body, bathed in the Buddhist light, also became increasingly condensed, as if cast from gold, shining with a sacred radiance, his demeanor majestic, inspiring awe and a desire to prostrate oneself in worship!

At this moment, the scorching sun high in the sky also appeared dim in contrast to the vast Buddhist light.

Just then, Jiang Qingchen clasped his hands together, like a devout believer, and his majestic voice, like a great bell, rolled out from his throat.

“amitabha...”

Golden light condensed behind him into a several-zhang-tall Thousand-Handed Golden Body, solemn and majestic, with a powerful Aura, like a pillar supporting the heavens.

Not far away, Mu Buyu's eyes widened, shimmering with curiosity and confusion, like two bright stars.

Strange, strange, why would Revered Master suddenly Cultivate Buddhist Divine Ability?

Meanwhile, Ling Yunyan had changed into a gradient purple-gold long dress, with a light golden sash tied around her waist, perfectly accentuating her slender figure.

Her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, tied into a ponytail with a purple ribbon, swaying gently in the wind, as graceful as a celestial being.

At this moment, the flame mark on her brow, blooming like a red lotus, made her Aura appear even nobler and more domineering, like a goddess from the Nine Heavens, inviolable and awe-inspiring.

However, her expression at this moment formed a stark contrast to her noble Aura.

Her face was filled with infatuation, her eyes full of adoration, as if she had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

Her gaze was dazed and mesmerized, as if she wanted to engrave the person before her deeply into her heart.

Saliva nearly drooled from the corner of her mouth, as if she was already immersed in beautiful fantasies, unable to extricate herself.

Finally, she couldn't help but speak, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

“Revered Master, he's so handsome! No matter how you look at him, he's absolutely outstanding!”

“Hmph, I used to be blind, to actually think the Saint of the Myriad Seconds Holy Land was handsome. Compared to Revered Master, there's absolutely no comparison!”

Just as she was lost in her fantasy, Mu Buyu mercilessly raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead.

With a “dong” sound, like a clap of thunder, it hurt so much that tears welled up in her eyes.

“Ah!!” she shrieked.

“What are you doing!!” Her eyes widened in fury, glaring fiercely at Mu Buyu, her cheeks puffed out, like an angry pufferfish, ready to engage him in a fierce battle at any moment!

Mu Buyu, however, glanced at her indifferently, his seemingly calm face concealing an inner smugness: “So satisfying! No wonder Revered Master likes to tap heads, this feeling is truly wonderful!”

“You!!!” Ling Yunyan was struck by lightning, instantly sobering up. She gritted her teeth, glaring venomously at Mu Buyu, having already cursed him countless times in her heart!

Damn Second Senior Brother, you just wait!

When this goddess's strength surpasses yours, I will surely beat you until you kneel and call for your mother, letting you know how powerful this goddess is!

Ling Yunyan clenched her fists tightly, trembling with rage, her face extremely unsightly.

If it weren't for her inferior strength, she truly wanted to rush up and challenge Mu Buyu immediately.

Not long ago, after teaching her the Sect rules, he directly gave her a good beating and warned her not to have any improper thoughts about Revered Master!

At that time, seeing that he was only in the Naling Realm, she naturally wasn't afraid, and even planned to beat him back.

The result... she was abused.

Her Senior Brother was not in the Naling Realm at all; he was clearly a sly fox, his strength even stronger than the Yin Yang Realm, directly crushing her confidence!

Now, thinking about it, she still felt a lingering fear. Thankfully, Senior Brother knew how to hold back, otherwise it wouldn't be strange if she had to stay in bed for ten days to half a month.

She held onto the grand ideal of a maiden's revenge, ten years is not too late, and secretly kept these matters in her heart!

If there's a chance in the future, she must get it all back at once!

Despite this, she couldn't help but admire her Second Senior Brother's strength.

He was much stronger than those Saints, goddesses, and ancient prodigies!

“What do you mean 'you'? Behave yourself. This Senior Brother is doing this for your own good, otherwise Senior Brother will surely punish you severely when he returns!” Mu Buyu shook his head, completely disregarding her dignity.

Now, he must properly teach this Junior Sister, whose brain is filled with nonsense, a lesson, lest she cause great trouble in the future and Revered Master will definitely punish her severely!

Although Revered Master usually doesn't particularly like certain women, he could sense that there seemed to be a figure in Revered Master's heart.

As for who it was specifically, he had no idea, perhaps Senior Martial Uncle Qu, or someone else!

At a time like this, touching that last pure land in his heart would undoubtedly be courting death.

Even as a disciple, one must never commit such a taboo!

“Who knows if you're just bullying me...” Ling Yunyan naturally couldn't understand, and replied with full displeasure.

Mu Buyu didn't argue. His gaze turned towards his Revered Master, as the strange phenomena had already vanished, indicating that Revered Master's Cultivation had ended.

Jiang Qingchen slowly opened his eyes, awakening from his Cultivation state.

Feeling the surging power of the Divine Ability just now, he couldn't help but beam with joy.

Although this Buddhist Divine Ability's Rank wasn't very high, it was full of prestige; a several-zhang-tall Thousand-Handed Golden Body looked incredibly awesome!

“Congratulations, Revered Master, on the Major Achievement of your Divine Ability!”

Mu Buyu walked over from a distance, with Ling Yunyan following beside him, looking dejected.

“It's you two. Is there something you need?” Jiang Qingchen tidied his clothes and looked at the two of them calmly.

“Revered Master, the new Sect Master wants you to go over. It's probably about those matters concerning the Yu Province border!” Mu Buyu replied.

“Oh? If that's the case, then let's go!” Jiang Qingchen pondered for a moment and then agreed.

He also had his own plans; after arranging this matter, he also had some things to do!

...

At the Peak of the Main Peak, within the great hall, it was already bustling with people. Sect Elders and some unfamiliar faces were gathered here.

Above, Mo Tianyu wore a white long robe, with a benevolent face. At this moment, he shed his usual serious demeanor, revealing a rare smile that made him seem approachable.

And the Peak Revered Masters of the other Main Peaks, though unfamiliar faces, all possessed extraordinary and refined Auras.

Jiang Qingchen leaned lazily in his seat, like a languid cat, holding some spirit fruits in his hand and leisurely savoring them.

Although Jiang Qingchen appeared carefree, his gaze inadvertently swept over everyone, and he sighed inwardly.

This newly appointed Sect Master and the other Peak Revered Masters, their appearances and reality did not match; their cultivation had all been suppressed to the Naling Realm.

In the future, anyone who accidentally provoked them would only have themselves to blame.

At this moment, Mu Buyu and Ling Yunyan stood respectfully behind Jiang Qingchen.

Mu Buyu was well aware of the Sect members concealing their cultivation, so he wasn't surprised.

However, Ling Yunyan, seeing the highest Realm among those present being only Divine Sea, her mind seemed to crash for a moment, unable to comprehend this twist.

Although her Second Senior Brother had instructed her to conceal her cultivation, she had indeed suppressed her cultivation to the Dharma Idol Realm Peak.

But upon seeing the deliberately suppressed Realms of these Elders and Peak Revered Masters, she finally recalled the fear of being dominated in her fourth life by a Sect whose Revered Master was only seemingly in the Supreme Realm, and whose Elders were all Immortal Saints!

This entire Sect was full of sly foxes; who could withstand that?

At this moment, many gazes fell upon her, the one with the highest apparent cultivation, filled with surprise.

This made her face turn somewhat unnatural, and her heart involuntarily tightened.

After a while, she quietly concealed her cultivation directly to the Naling Realm.

Only then did the crowd slowly withdraw their gazes.

Ling Yunyan felt the pressure dissipate, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, a few beads of sweat had seeped onto her forehead!

At this moment, Mo Tianyu, seeing that most people had arrived, stood up and spoke.

“All Elders and Peak Revered Masters, I believe you all know the purpose of summoning you here today, so I won't go over it one by one!”

“Now that the entire Yu Province falls under the jurisdiction of my Immortal Seeking Sect, and there have been successive city-destroying massacres at the border, my Immortal Seeking Sect naturally must take responsibility and restore peace to Yu Province!”

“After discussion, it has been decided to depart for the border today to bring the culprit to justice!!”

“Now, if the Elders have no objections, please arrange your personnel for each Peak. In ten minutes, gather at the Sect Plaza!”

Mo Tianyu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, his voice calm, which comforted the group of old men who observed him.

These issues had been discussed in advance, and now it was just a formality, so naturally, no one had any problems!
