Chapter 234: The Twelve-Rank Merit Gold Lotus, Waiting for Chen Shisan to Create an Opportunity
After finishing his words, Chen Shisan walked resolutely towards the Buddhist Nation.
Watching Chen Shisan’s back, Tianxuan’s mouth twitched continuously.
“Sir, you’re being incredibly unreasonable.”
“Letting Thirteen go do that kind of thing, with his stubborn character, he’ll get beaten so badly that even his mother wouldn’t recognize him.”
“Slap!”
As soon as Tianxuan finished his sarcastic remark, he was struck heavily on the head.
The forceful blow made Tianxuan stumble.
“I’ll teach you a little trick for when you’re talking bad about someone.”
“First, confirm whether you’re under someone else’s spiritual sense, or check if there’s any remnant spiritual sense left on you.”
Chen Changsheng’s voice echoed in his ears, causing Tianxuan to apologize repeatedly, then hurry towards the Buddhist Nation.
……
Under the Bodhi tree.
Chen Changsheng’s mouth curved into a smile.
Seeing Chen Changsheng smile, the smaller Bai Ze spoke, “What are you laughing at? Tell me!”
“Nothing much, that kid Tianxuan was talking behind my back, so I gave him a little scare.”
“They’re about to enter the Buddhist Nation?”
Hearing about Tianxuan, Bai Ze immediately stood up from the ground.
“That’s fantastic! I’ll go find them right away.”
“The last Seven-Colored Lotus had no flavor; the Twelve-Rank Merit Gold Lotus from the Merit Pool should taste pretty good.”
“With me, Bai Ze, in action, there’s nothing in this world I can’t obtain.”
As he spoke, Bai Ze was about to run out.
However, halfway through, he was caught by Chen Changsheng by the back of his neck and lifted up.
“I’ll give you a warning; you better not target the Merit Pool’s Gold Lotus.”
“If you touch the Twelve-Rank Merit Gold Lotus, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson and make you a dog without desires.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze instantly tucked his tail in.
“Chen Changsheng, you’re going too far.”
“The Merit Gold Lotus isn’t even yours; why are you feeling sorry for it?”
Watching Bai Ze’s flustered demeanor, Chen Changsheng then threw him back to the ground.
“Although the Merit Gold Lotus is good, what I need right now is the years of thought power and strength from the Merit Pool.”
“For Thirteen to wield the strongest sword, he cannot do it without a strong body.”
“Because for his physique, he cannot endure such immense power.”
“The bodies of living beings are quite marvelous; sometimes, it’s not the resources that limit cultivation, but the body of the creature itself.”
“Do you understand what I mean?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s gaze, Bai Ze replied frankly, “I don’t understand.”
“You’ve been by Thirteen’s side for so long; how do you think his strength is?”
“Although his realm is a bit lacking, his power is still quite considerable.”
“Especially when he draws his sword, I feel his momentum changes; he’s a very strong swordsman, no doubt about that.”
Upon hearing Bai Ze’s assessment, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said.
“Back in Gold Mountain City, Thirteen awakened the sword spirit of the True Martial Sword and then swung his first sword in life.”
“After he swung that first sword, I stepped in to block it.”
“Because there were too many mortals in that city, if the power of that sword were to be released, everyone in the city would d*e.”
“And I got injured. I bled a drop under Thirteen’s sword.”
Once these words came out, Bai Ze’s eyes widened in shock.
“Chen Changsheng, stop joking! Could that broken True Martial Sword really hurt you?”
“Just a reminder: If it was the previous Wu Li or Jiang Feng wielding it, I could somewhat accept that.”
“But now you’re telling me that Little Thirteen used the True Martial Sword to injure you?”
“Had he entered the Path of Cultivation back then?”
“Even if he had entered, he would at most be in the Spring Eye Realm.”
“A small cultivator in the Spring Eye Realm, holding a broken quasi-Seventh Rank weapon, injured you, the undertaker.”
“Making up lies is not how you’d do it.”
Seeing Bai Ze’s excited stance, Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “I was also quite shocked, but that’s the truth.”
“At that time, Thirteen was still an ordinary mortal.”
“Before swinging his sword, he practiced basic sword techniques for a day and was following along with diagrams since he couldn’t read.”
After hearing this, Bai Ze’s mouth was agape, unable to close.
It was unimaginable to him how Thirteen managed to swing that sword.
Without any cultivation, then when Thirteen swung his first sword, all the power relied entirely on the True Martial Sword.
The fact that a broken True Martial Sword could injure Chen Changsheng was simply a huge joke.
After a few breaths to digest what Chen Changsheng had said, Bai Ze finally spoke.
“If there’s anything else, just say it. I can’t understand this situation.”
“Thirteen is indeed a swordsman; the swords he swings are very strong, all stemming from his conviction, from his heart.”
“But no matter how strong his conviction is, one fact cannot be ignored: his talent is too poor.”
“The ‘Sea of Suffering’ and ‘Cave of Heaven’ are two significant realms that all cultivators must pass through.”
“The first major realm is just to lay the foundation; the second major realm is when cultivators truly shine.”
“Once Thirteen steps into the Consciousness Realm, genuinely entering the second major realm, his sword will shine even brighter.”
“But by then, his body would not be able to handle it.”
“Thirteen himself hasn’t realized this issue, nor have you.”
“But Thirteen’s body has recognized this problem; hence, his cultivation is strictly limited to the Shore of the Other Side Realm.”
“This is also why, despite providing him countless cultivation resources, his cultivation still cannot go up.”
“Gulp!”
Bai Ze swallowed hard.
“So if Little Thirteen forcibly breaks through the Shore of the Other Side Realm, what would happen?”
“Swing a sword, then d*e.”
“Thirteen needs the Merit Pool to strengthen his body. This process isn’t something that can be completed in a day or two.”
“Once you touch the Merit Gold Lotus, the wrath of the Buddhist Nation will descend.”
“With my strength and means, I can certainly withstand the wrath of the Buddhist Nation and even slap them a few times.”
“But in such a scenario, how will Thirteen still use the Merit Pool?”
“You know how stubborn those bald ones are; even if they were destroyed, they wouldn’t let Thirteen use it.”
“If the Merit Pool is destroyed, what will Thirteen do?”
After listening, Bai Ze smacked his lips and said, “Then just don’t touch it. I’m not that unreasonable of a beast.”
“But just know, once Thirteen is done using the Merit Pool, you can’t stop me.”
“If you’re not afraid of being chased all over the Crimson Realm by that group of baldies, do as you please.”
“Anyway, I won’t involve myself in this matter.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng slowly closed his eyes.
Taking a glance at the eyes closed Chen Changsheng and then looking at the lively environment outside.
Bai Ze still chose to lie beside Chen Changsheng’s feet.
Neither he nor Chen Changsheng could act for now; if they wanted to help Thirteen, they had to wait for him to create a suitable opportunity.
What that opportunity would be and when it would appear, no one knew.
But Bai Ze firmly believed that Little Thirteen would certainly create such an opportunity.
