Chapter 137: Chapter 131: Mount Ling’s Fury! The Decline of the Liu Family!
"Half a year, my Liu family will wait for you!"
Liu Hongyun shot a fierce glare at Wu Jiuling and Chang Qing, then turned to leave with the members of the Liu family.
The Liu family arrived in glory, but departed in utter disgrace.
Many disciples of the Little Immortal Sect stood on either side as they left, their expressions ranging from sardonic to mocking, causing the faces of the Liu family members to flush with embarrassment.
Wu Yong watched the Liu family’s retreating figures, his smile cold.
Did they really think they could just walk away after delivering a blow?
Then this slap he received was far too cheap.
Wu Yong took out a Communication Talisman, sent out two simple messages, and then put it away nonchalantly.
"Are you alright, Senior Brother?"
Wu Yong, smiling, glanced at Chang Qing beside him.
Today, he truly witnessed the formidable power of his Senior Brother, whose combat strength was simply beyond reason.
"Once Senior Brother is rested in these two days, I must ask him to accompany me back to the Wu family..."
The cultivation method of the Primordial Celestial Divine Body is quite different from ordinary inheritances.
It gathers the internal universe through array patterns; the more array patterns are inscribed, the stronger one’s power becomes.
The Wu family has countless Arrays, with even a corner of the Great Emperor Killing Array as their foundation.
Initially, Wu Yong’s plan was to slowly practice other Arrays, gradually enhancing himself.
But now, after witnessing Chang Qing’s terrifying comprehension, Wu Yong had an exceedingly bold idea.
He wanted to ask his Senior Brother to help inscribe the Great Emperor Killing Array on his body!
Once successful, his power would take a monumental leap.
"Feeling better, no need to support me anymore."
After a short rest, Chang Qing finally regained some strength.
Although his whole body still ached and tingled, he was able to move on his own.
Chang Qing stood up, looking at the Dharma Wheel at the center of the Array, and with a wave of his sleeve, grasped it in his hand.
"Dharma Wheel..."
Gazing at the Dharma Wheel densely covered with Buddhist patterns in his hand, Chang Qing’s eyes showed a peculiar light.
He could feel the intense desire emanating from the Compass.
"Like the Divine Foot technique, this also requires the comprehension of Buddhist scriptures."
After a brief observation, Chang Qing couldn’t help feeling a bit of a headache.
He had only trained in the Shrinking Ground technique of the Divine Foot, but not the Lotus Step or the Buddha Land subsequently.
It’s not that he didn’t want to; it’s that he never comprehended the Buddhist scriptures, and there were many things he couldn’t understand.
Now with the addition of a Dharma Wheel, there was even more for him to comprehend.
"This item has no small connection to Buddhism."
At some point, Shan Ming came to his side, looking at the Dharma Wheel, marveling:
"The Buddhist patterns inscribed upon it are extremely profound; I’m afraid they can’t be deciphered by ordinary scriptures."
Saying this, he pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to retrieve several ancient books, with Buddhist charm swirling around them.
Shan Ming looked at Chang Qing, advising:
"Since you have received the true teaching of Senior Wu, following his path might affect the progress of your cultivation."
"These might be of some help to you, but remember not to lose the bigger picture over the small gains."
In cultivation, people rarely practice multiple paths simultaneously. It’s not because their combat power is weak, but because their energy cannot keep up.
A single path alone can require a cultivator’s lifetime to explore, let alone several.
These Buddhist scriptures were somewhat detrimental to Buddhism, being a gift from Shan Ming to Chang Qing.
But before giving them, he had to issue a warning.
Wu Jiuling’s path is extraordinary in the world, if misguided, it would be a case of good intentions doing harm.
Yet unbeknownst to him, Wu Jiuling and Elder Fu on the side were simply smiling, not intending to stop him at all.
Lacking energy?
If Chang Qing had nothing else, he certainly had energy in abundance!
Not to say just a few Buddhist scriptures, even if Chang Qing really intended to walk the Buddhist path, it would definitely be among the peak!
"Thank you, Elder, the disciple takes note."
Seeing this, Chang Qing rejoiced, hastily bowing in gratitude.
He was originally worried about where to find Buddhist scriptures, never expecting such a happy surprise.
"It’s just a small thing."
Shan Ming chuckled, glancing in the direction of Wu Chen and Min Xin, spoke meaningfully:
"To speak of superior Buddhist techniques, one must go to the Lingshan to find them."
Chang Qing was momentarily stunned, then looked towards Wu Chen and Min Xin, his eyes slightly brightening.
In the distance, when Wu Chen and Min Xin felt everyone’s gaze, they couldn’t help but feel a chill in their scalp.
"This Little Immortal Sect is no longer a place we can stay, we must leave!"
After a transmitting sound, Wu Chen hurriedly departed.
"Senior Brother, what about our Dharma Wheel!"
"What about it? How should I know? I’ve already sent a message to the Buddha Lord, the rest isn’t our concern..."
Just like the Liu family, Wu Chen and Min Xin hastily fled from the Little Immortal Sect in embarrassment.
Shan Ming did not make things difficult for the two, after all... there would be dealings to come later.
...
Meanwhile, in the Lingshan Treasure Temple.
"They actually lost!"
The Buddha Lord Kashyapa suddenly opened his eyes while silently chanting scriptures, and anger flashed through them.
"The formidable Young Master of the Liu family, along with over ten Liu family disciples, were actually... taken down instantly?"
Kashyapa’s face flickered with indecision.
He didn’t overly blame Wu Chen and Min Xin.
He understood well that if Chang Qing truly possessed such combat power, it didn’t matter who went, they would lose.
The plan was correct; the mistake lay in severely underestimating Chang Qing’s strength.
"Another Buddhist treasure lost..."
Kashyapa kept urging himself to stay calm, but eventually couldn’t help flipping over the mat in front of him.
There were merely five Buddhist treasures in the Lingshan, yet two were lost back to back!
The Celestial Buddha’s body had yet to be seen, and they were already losing half their Buddhist treasures.
Even the calmest of Buddhas couldn’t help but feel anger rise in their hearts.
"They already know the importance of the Celestial Buddha’s body, and trying to be clever again will be difficult."
Kashyapa sat for a long time, then glanced towards the direction of the Southern Domain, his gaze turning slightly cold,
"If that’s the case, then we must seize it by force, as for the timing..."
"Is he heading to participate in the Celestial Demon Pool..."
In the enormous Buddha hall, Kashyapa was the only one.
He lowered his head and frowned for a moment, then seemingly thought of something, his expression subtly changing, his form turned into a wisp of Buddha light and dissipated.
...
At the border of the Southern Domain and the Buddhist Domain, amidst a stretch of mountain ranges.
The members of the Liu family wore grim expressions, hurrying along the road.
The place they were heading was the spatial node between the Liu family and the mainland, the direction of their home.
"That Chang Qing is too arrogant, will he come with Wu Jiuling in half a year?"
"If he comes, he must be slain!"
A powerhouse King from the Liu family spoke with murderous intent.
"Hmph, isn’t he strong? By then, contact several of our allied families and invite a few peerless prodigies."
"Even if not a match individually, we’ll swarm and kill him, just like we did with his Senior Brother before!"
Another Liu family Saint said, eyes flashing with cold light.
"No need to invite anyone."
Liu Hongyun’s low, cold voice sounded: "Have you forgotten what day it is in six months?"
At these words, the eyes of the Liu family members present lit up slightly.
"Sigh, first report to the Patriarch..."
Not far from the spatial node, Liu Hongyun couldn’t help sighing lightly.
The other Liu family members nervously proceeded forward with hesitant steps.
Yet just as the Liu family members were about to step into the spatial node, a monstrous Killing Array suddenly descended from the sky!
Boom!
The entire forest exploded, with large rips appearing in the heavens above.
Rays of divine light intertwined like countless divine swords, slaughtering everything within a radius of several miles.
Thinking they had reached home, the slightly off-guard Liu family members were instantly halved, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.
Liu Hongyun was stunned for a moment, and when a Saint who had just spoken beside him suddenly burst apart, his defense shattered instantly.
"Who is it!"
"My Liu family demands your death!"
