Chapter 359 (1/2)
”If you are unable to come within three chi, you will go call off those belligerents, how about it?” The yellow-clothed man put both his hands behind his back, the epitome of calm.
Aratha was humiliated, activating his Vajra Dharma Characteristic.
But regardless of how hard he tried, that range of three chi was like a celestial moat, completely impregnable. The yellow-clothed man yelled in seeming rebuke, sending Aratha flying. The Ancestral Masters alongside Great Master Still Void one by one felt disbelief. To be able to make the Supervoid Aratha completely unable to fight back, only a Supervoid Late Stage Great Cultivator could achieve this.
Aratha's fury turned into shock and caution.
”What Adept is this Benefactor?”
Great Master Still Void respectfully asked.
”Do not tell them.” The yellow-clothed man was bored.
Abbess Water Moon was without a choice, but her eyes clearly told the rest of her compatriots: It was best to not provoke the yellow-clothed person.
The group was silent, astonished within their thoughts.
”Since you have lost, are you not going to invite that Star General over? Your Servant actually is very curious.” The yellow-robed person said to Aratha.
”Hmph, when did Poor Monk ever promise you.”
Aratha merely pretended to not have heard.
The yellow-clothed person shook his head, very disappointed.
Because this Azure Dragon Territory Cultivator had arrived, the Buddha Kingdom Six Ancestors on the other shore that originally had a relaxed atmosphere immediately felt very unsettled and odd, heavy as a mountain, more oppressive than the sea of bitterness.
Actually, the yellow-clothed person seemed indifferent. The originally arrogant and egotistical Aratha and Senior Monk Extreme Happiness did not say anything more, only focusing on meditating on reciting scripture nearby. Calming their minds, receiving the final trial, that former pride of not allowing that holy object of Buddha Kingdom to touch the fingers of others had been turned into a clownish joke before overwhelming might.
Not long after, another monk reached the other shore.
Everyone opened their eyes.
”Great Master Shen Hui, you have also come.”
Great Master Still Void bowed his head.
The other Six Ancestors were all exceptionally deferential. Great Master Shen Hui was Cold Tang Kingdom's state teacher, assisting Emperor Tang.1 His cultivation was Supervoid Middle Stage. If he was in the Buddha Kingdom, he was a character equivalent to a Six Ancestor Chief. It was only because that he was to assist Emperor Tang declare Dharma that he left the Buddha Kingdom.
Inside Buddha Kingdom, he could be promoted to a character truly like a Holy Monk.
”Great Masters are all here.” Great Master Shen Hui slightly smiled and put his hands together.
Upon seeing the yellow-clothed person, he showed a surprised expression. He evidently felt the yellow-clothed person's power, also deferentially saluting.
”Yellow-browed boy, right now, everyone is here, should we not be leaving?” Aratha asked.
”There are still some who have yet to ascend the shore.” The yellow-browed boy shut his eyes.
”Who else is there?” Aratha was confused. He gazed at the sea of bitterness, practically unable to see any Buddhist cultivators that were ferrying across the sea of bitterness. After all, without the cultivation and endurance levels of a Buddha Kingdom Six Ancestor, how could an ordinary person cross this borderless sea of bitterness.
The yellow-browed boy pointed at that measureless Buddhist aura – which was precisely the place the Heavenly Solitary Star and cultivators were dueling.
”They have already polluted their karma2 in the sea of bitterness. This is what you said, they have lost the qualifications, what are we waiting for.” Aratha's tone was heavy.
”Naturally, there is karma.”3
The yellow-browed boy answered no more.
”It seems your plan was not so perfect, ha, ha.” The yellow-clothed man derisively laughed.
Aratha's expression was unsightly.
Shifting the camera shot back to Su Xing's side,4 when the five Supercluster Ancestors simultaneously attacked, that honestly was a change in the atmosphere. Earth-shattering, violent waves were stirred in the sea of bitterness. Under such an attack, even if a Star General could black, they would be forced to use full power.
Just at this moment, a yellow book soared into the air. This book flipped open, and a brown airflow bubbled out. A seeming heavenly canopy enveloped Su Xing and the others within. THat brown heavenly canopy looked easy to break, but regardless of whatever powerful ability the Chan Masters used, their Star Energy seemed to sink into a great ocean, disappearing without a trace.
”Earth Book of Empress Tu”
Chan Master Great Enlightenment was shocked.
”Why would he have this sort of Spirit Treasure.” The Chan Masters had sinister gazes. With a glance, they discerned this Earth Book surprisingly already evolved into a Prehistoric Spirit Treasure. The Earth Book flowed with an aura that was like an impenetrable wall, absorbing every one of their attacks.
”Right now, it isn't too late for regrets.” Su Xing was expressionless.
He had not yet given Empress Tu a ”psychic communication,” otherwise, she would have frightened these old monks to death.5
”Since this is so, even more reason to not allow the Holy Monk's bowl and alms to fall into their hands.” Chan Master Great Enlightenment screamed.
The other hesitant Chan Masters immediately nodded. They stowed their powers, surrounded Su Xing and the others, not making a move, but they did not have any intentions of regret. They made clear they wanted to waste the magic energy of Empress Tu's Earth Book.
”If you won't make a move, then I won't be polite.” Su Xing thought, glancing at Wu Siyou.
The Harm Star understood tacitly.
”You cannot act.” Chan Xin suddenly shouted.
”Chan Xin, what are you saying?” Su Xing was bewildered.
”If you pollute the sea of bitterness karma, you will lose your qualifications.” Chan Xin calmly said.
”What?”
”The sea of bitterness is boundless, yet a turn of the head is the other shore, lay down the butcher's knife, become Buddha on the spot. This sea of bitterness tests the body's Eight Distresses. If you make a move, you will pollute your karma, and this sea of bitterness will be uncrossable.” Chan Xin's explanation was the same as Great Master Still Void's.
Su Xing and the others were immediately stupefied upon hearing this.
”Worthy of Heavenly Solitary Star Flowery Monk Lu Zhishen. This sea of bitterness' mystery was seen through with a glance. Pity that you are a Star General of Maiden Mountain, otherwise, you truly would have a connection with my Buddha.” Chan Master Great Enlightenment chanted Amitabha.
”Could it be that because Zhishen is Maiden Mountain's Star General that there is no connection?” Chan Xin questioned.
”Maiden Mountain uses the Star Duels to sow calamity and chaos in Liangshan Continent and thus is an evil way. How can my Buddha have a connection with such an evil way.” Chan Master Great Enlightenment replied matter-of-factly.
”What sophistry,” Wu Siyou retorted, about to act. Whatever sea of bitterness karma there was, the Harm Star basically did not care.
Su Xing pulled her back.
”Lord Husband,” Wu Siyou was confused.
