Chapter 1034: Beneficence Bodhisattva

Li Qiye glanced at the youth and told Wo Longxuan: “Go ahead and go back to train in peace. You won’t be able to compete against the Mortal King in your current state.”

Wo Longxuan bowed deeply towards him and said in a dignified fas.h.i.+on: “Words cannot express my grat.i.tude for your kindness. You saved my life. I, Wo Longxuan, will definitely repay you. Just say the word when you need me or the dragon cliff in the future.”

Li Qiye casually nodded. He didn’t really pay it any mind since he wasn’t expecting a reward from saving her. He had merely done so in pa.s.sing.

She bid her farewell and left with her junior brother. Li Qiye slowly entered the Buddhist City afterward.

Li Qiye trod through this bustling city and saw people coming and going. He noticed all the civilians here were wors.h.i.+pping Buddhism and chanting Buddhist scriptures. This made him sigh with emotion.

“Di s.h.i.+… What will you bring to the ultimate battle in the future… There are billions of creatures here…” He lamented.

He felt the Buddhist rhythm in this place. This rhythm was all over the plateau because this was the largest congregation of monks, especially at Spirit Mountain and Nalanda.

However, Li Qiye knew that the plateau hadn't become the sacred ground of Buddhism due to the number of monks.

“Evil Buddha is here.” His arrival to the city caused quite a stir.

Today, he had received a new moniker — Evil Buddha! No one knew where this hair-keeping monk came from or what his ident.i.ty was. However, they had seen his evil-subduing art, so they gave him this t.i.tle!

“It’s not just Evil Buddha, South Emperor came before him too.” A knowledgeable person spoke.

Many people glanced at each other after hearing about South Emperor being here as well. Not too many had heard of this South Emperor before, but with just one battle, he amazed the world by fighting against the eighteen great vajras alone. His prestige had completely surpa.s.sed Jikong Wudi’s group.

“Why is the plateau so strange this year? It is one thing that the geniuses gather here, but this devilish Evil Buddha comes out of nowhere and then this mysterious South Emperor. Evil Buddha and South Emperor simply render the younger generation out of breath.” Someone murmured.

“No, South Emperor is not so mysterious. He is an Era Evader from the Mysterious Bamboo Mountain!” A paragon from the southern region knew his ident.i.ty. To paragons from the previous generation, the t.i.tle of South Emperor was not unfamiliar at all.

“An Era Evader? What is that?” A youth didn’t know what it meant, so he asked his seniors.

A senior answered: “An Era Evader is a supreme genius. In order to avoid a great loss from competing for the Heaven’s Will, they would seal themselves early and abandon their generation in order to wait for a different, more opportune one, to seize the Heaven’s Will for the throne.”

“South Emperor isn’t an ordinary Era Evader. He was once the most brilliant genius of the bamboo mountain. For tens of millions of years, he is the only one to truly claim the moniker of South Emperor.” The paragon who knew his ident.i.ty continued: “Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong generation. Despite being so exceptional, he was in the same era as Empress Hong Tian. It was destined to be a disaster, so he chose to avoid that generation rather than compete with her to the end!”

“Competing against Empress Hong Tian for the Heaven’s Will…” Anyone would quiver after hearing this. The paramount empress had always been praised by the world.

“Even the last Immortal Emperor of the bamboo mountain, Immortal Emperor Yin Tian, was only his junior.” The paragon explained.

“No wonder why he is so heaven-defying.” Anyone would be stunned after hearing this. A terrifying and unparalleled genius having to evade Empress Hong Tian’s generation; they understood why he dared to challenge the eighteen vajras. It was because he absolutely had the power to do so.

After hearing the South Emperor’s tales, not to mention others, even the Jikong Wudi’s group of geniuses went quiet for a very long time. This South Emperor appearing out of nowhere brought tremendous pressure to them. Someone who had competed with the empress… No matter the time or place, this type of character was definitely invincible.

“An Evil Buddha and now an Era Evader.” Heavenly Emperor Lin murmured to himself: “This generation will definitely be exciting. It seems like Senior Brother won’t be lonely. He will finally have rivals to compare himself with.”

Eventually, Li Qiye arrived before an old temple inside the city. It was not grand, only old from being around for too many years.

In the minds of the people living here, the doors of this temple had always been closed. They didn’t know what kind of monks were training inside either.

He quietly stood in front of the temple, calming the indescribable tinge of emotions threatening to rise. For millions of years, groups of followers kept on leaving him. Very few were able to live until now.
