Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Trap Buddhism! Score! Demon!
"You... can even use Buddhist techniques!"
Wu Chen looked at the Buddhist aura on Su Changqing in disbelief.
The purity of that aura surpassed his by several degrees.
He was the chief disciple of Ling Mountain! How could this be possible?
Suddenly, Wu Chen looked at the sacred white lotus, as if recalling something, his expression changed,
"White lotus... it’s the Step-by-Step Lotus Divine Feet technique!"
Su Changqing’s gaze sharpened upon hearing this, "You know about Divine Feet Technique? Are you here for the compass?"
"You better hand over that thing!"
Wu Chen’s eyes burned as he looked at Su Changqing’s chest,
"Some things are not meant for you; otherwise, great disaster will come upon you!"
Step-by-Step Lotus Divine Feet technique!
It was one of the supreme secret techniques lost to Buddhist sects, far beyond ordinary divine abilities.
Just a white lotus evolved from the Divine Feet technique had such strong defensive properties; how powerful the complete Divine Feet technique could be?
When all eight treasures were in place, what kind of terrifying Buddhist secret method might appear?
Just thinking about it made Wu Chen’s heart pound fiercely.
"I take it, it’s a great disaster; you take it, and it’s not?"
"What kind of robber logic is that?"
Su Changqing raised an eyebrow, an ethereal Buddhist lotus above his head, his sword mobilizing countless sword intents, directly slamming into Wu Chen.
Wu Chen let out a shout as the Buddhist light around him grew, only blocking the sword after retreating several steps.
"I’ll be waiting for you at the Little Immortal Sect."
Wu Chen took a deep look at Su Changqing, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned to leave the Ten Thousand Laws Map.
Su Changqing looked thoughtfully at the retreating figure, murmuring softly,
"It seems Dad picking up this compass isn’t simple."
...
Above the sky.
Seeing the scene within the Ten Thousand Laws Map, Su Nan also furrowed his brow in deep thought.
"What exactly is the origin of the Eight-Treasure Compass?"
"Although it was the companion Spiritual Treasure of Bodhisattva of Good Deeds, it shouldn’t have attracted such attention from Buddhist sects."
"Could there be another secret to this compass..."
By now, Su Nan finally confirmed one thing.
The Buddhist sect had mobilized overwhelming forces, even having Kashyapa personally intervene, all for that compass.
"Lotus... Divine Feet technique, could it be that the eight treasures on that compass each correspond to a divine ability?"
This idea made Su Nan’s eyes light up instantly.
If so, it would mean the Buddhist sect possesses other eight treasures, right?
"Divine abilities are rare gems."
"Gotta think of a way to get the eight treasures from the Buddhist sect to Chang Qing."
Su Nan rubbed his chin, pondering to himself.
The Buddhist sect is no fool; having lost quite a few powers, they’re probably afraid to easily tread into the Southern Regions.
Snatching is too difficult; Ling Mountain is not easy to breach, the Buddhist sect’s foundations are deep.
Deception won’t work; they are already wary, not easy to trick.
Su Nan frowned in deep thought for a long time before his eyes suddenly brightened,
"A duel!"
"Battle at the same cultivation level, wagering the eight treasures of the compass."
"Since the Buddhist sect is so determined, give them a chance they can’t resist."
The more Su Nan thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed.
At present, the Buddhist sect is unaware of Chang Qing’s talent; with having planned against the unprepared, there’s no reason to lose!
"This duel can’t be proposed by me; must let the Buddhist sect approach Chang Qing first..."
Su Nan looked at Wu Chen and Min Xin sent by the Western Regions below, the corners of his mouth revealing a smile suddenly.
"Su Nan!"
"Is this what you call having a son without knowing any techniques or having never cultivated?"
"Simultaneous cultivation of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Sword, this you call ordinary?"
As Su Nan was pondering how to trick the Buddhist sect, Wu Jiuling widened his eyes as he watched Su Changqing below.
Although Su Changqing just showcased two techniques, they contained much more than meets the eye.
He thought Su Changqing was an ordinary genius, but didn’t expect such profound knowledge!
Regardless of others, just based on the performance in the first two rounds, Su Changqing’s qualifications undeniably counted as top-tier talent!
"Ah, calm down, it’s mediocre at best, no different from the ordinary in my eyes."
Su Nan casually waved his hand dismissively, yet the raised corners of his mouth couldn’t be suppressed.
Although he didn’t know why Chang Qing had undergone such a transformation in a short period.
But the inexplicable joy of his son transforming from an ordinary genius to a top-tier talent made his heart overflow.
"Well? Does my son now qualify to cultivate the Martial Ancestor’s legacy?"
Su Nan cast a sideways glance at an amused Wu Jiuling.
He still remembered how this old man came all the way with a sour face.
If it were any other legacy, he would have thrown in the towel and walked away long ago.
But this Foundation Establishment technique is crucial at the beginning of cultivation, requiring the ultimate method to cultivate!
"It’s passable."
Wu Jiuling pondered for a moment before speaking,
"The Martial Ancestor’s legacy highly emphasizes comprehension, the deciding factor for maximum potential."
"Chang Qing’s comprehension is excellent, likely allowing him to attempt cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Su Nan immediately frowned, "Such talent only allows an attempt?"
Even with his peak quasi-emperor eyes, he couldn’t find a single flaw in Chang Qing.
Yet this could only be an attempt?
"Why do you think I’ve been waiting for the ’Emperor Body’ to appear?"
Wu Jiuling replied helplessly, "Anyone can cultivate the Martial Ancestor’s legacy, but the differences within are worlds apart."
"Those with poor aptitude, even cultivating the Martial Ancestor’s legacy can’t reach heights, rather it drags them down."
Su Nan exclaimed in amazement, growing more eager for the Martial Ancestor’s legacy.
After all, it was one of the top three invincible emperors throughout ancient history.
...
While Su Nan and Wu Jiuling chatted, Elder Bai Zui below found himself in a dilemma.
"How... how should this be scored?"
Looking at Su Changqing below, Elder Bai Zui was visibly troubled.
In terms of performance, Su Changqing undeniably belonged to the top-grade elite category!
But... this person might have a grudge against the Sect Leader; in the first round, the Sect Leader even personally intervened to suppress.
Under such circumstances, can he simply assign scores?"
"Sect Leader, how should this be scored?"
After contemplating for a while, Elder Bai Zui still chose to transmit a message to the Sect Leader asking for guidance.
Meanwhile, Miao Ba was equally troubled.
His thoughts were similar to Elder Bai Zui, believing there was a rift between Su Changqing and Su Nan.
If the scores were random, how would it please the Domain Master?
"Domain Master, how should this be scored?"
Miao Ba opted to directly transmit a message to Su Nan.
"Scoring..."
Receiving the message, Su Nan pondered momentarily, just about to transmit instructions.
But then...
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion shook the heavens, abruptly originating from the rear of the Little Immortal Sect.
The Little Immortal Sect was founded at the edge of the Southern Regions, surrounded by mountains.
In the depths of the hundred-thousand wild mountain ranges, there’s an obstruction of heaven transformed into a vast and boundless barrier, seemingly preventing or sealing something.
Yet today, that immense barrier burst open a breach.
At the moment of the breach in the barrier, an immensely thick surging murderous aura shaded the midday sun, rising like smoke to cover the sky.
Simultaneously, a fierce, bloodthirsty aura completely different from the Human Race permeated everywhere.
As soon as this unique aura was detected!
Wu Jiuling, Miao Ba, as well as all the elders stationed within the Little Immortal Sect, all changed their expressions drastically!
The Great Cyan Spear appeared unknowingly, as Su Nan slowly turned, narrowing his eyes at the far distance, speaking with an edge of endless bloodthirsty aura in his tone,
"Demon!"
