Chapter 238: Killing Chickens to Warn Monkeys, Chen Shisan: I Want the Merit Pool
Upon hearing this news, Tianxuan and the others could no longer sit still; the initial trio, along with Meng Yu from Kongming Tian, were now gathered.
The four knew that Chen Changsheng and Emperor Huangtian had a profound relationship.
However, their master had never mentioned that Emperor Huangtian was dead!
“Master, one can eat food randomly, but one should not speak carelessly.”
“The life and d*ath of Emperor Huangtian is not something you can speculate on.”
Meng Yu, who had been silent, finally spoke.
The leader of the Shadow Legion was the founder of Kongming Tian, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Kongming Tian was a subordinate of Emperor Huangtian.
Given that, Meng Yu naturally could not accept the news of Emperor Huangtian’s demise spoken by the Buddhist Nation.
“Amitabha!”
“Monks do not lie. The fact is, Emperor Huangtian is dead, and our Buddhist Nation has evidence to arrive at this conclusion.”
As he spoke, the old monk Huineng waved his right hand.
A segment of the Heavenly Mandate instantly floated above the Buddhist Nation, and feeling that familiar aura, everyone panicked.
“The Heavenly Mandate is severed, there is absolutely no chance of survival.”
“This is the ironclad proof of Emperor Huangtian’s d*ath!”
“Extracting the spear could not only make one the master of the Buddhist Nation but also allow one to receive the Heavenly Mandate!”
“Can I refuse the Heavenly Mandate?”
As soon as Huineng’s words fell, before anyone could react, a voice entered their ears.
Turning around, they saw Chen Shisan raising his right hand after finishing the fruit platter.
“From what you all seem to say, it sounds like you’ve run into some trouble.”
“How about this: if I help you solve your problem, can you lend me the Merit Pool?”
“Besides that, I have no desire to be the master of the Buddhist Nation.”
Everyone: ???
Wait, what’s wrong with you?
Do you value the Heavenly Mandate less than a Merit Pool?
Although the Merit Pool is indeed quite remarkable, the significance of the Heavenly Mandate is far greater!
Having an old segment of the Heavenly Mandate means that once the timing is right, bearing a new Heavenly Mandate would go incredibly smoothly.
To put it simply, getting this segment of the Heavenly Mandate would make you a candidate for the Heavenly Mandate!
Chen Shisan’s sudden remarks also took the old monk by surprise.
“Amitabha!”
“The Merit Pool is the lifeblood of the Buddhist Nation, and no one can use it.”
“Young disciple, you should change your request.”
“But I don’t want anything else besides the Merit Pool.”
Upon hearing this, Huineng the old monk squinted and said, “Using the Merit Pool is not impossible. If the young disciple could become the master of the Buddhist Nation and then bear the Heavenly Mandate, then the Merit Pool is naturally available for use.”
Facing this somewhat cryptic statement, Chen Shisan scratched his head and said, “Tianxuan, what does he mean by that? Why does he want me to be the master of the Buddhist Nation?”
Glancing at the gradually encircling monks, Tianxuan replied lightly, “It’s simple: the Merit Pool will not be given to outsiders.”
“If you want to use the Merit Pool, you must first become a monk, then spend a few thousand years leading the Buddhist Nation to greatness.”
“Once you reach that level, you can use the Merit Pool.”
“A few thousand years?”
Hearing this response, Chen Shisan shook his head repeatedly, saying, “That won’t do; I still have things to do for my master.”
“If I help them, what will happen to my master?”
“Also, I don’t want to become a monk.”
“Whether or not you want to become a monk can be discussed later; right now, it seems you need to draw your sword, as we have trouble.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several old monks rushed out.
“Amitabha!”
A friendly reminder: The options “Switch between Traditional and Simplified Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Reading Background Color” are available at the upper right corner of the page.
“Although the Seven-Colored Lotus Treasure of Cloud Mountain Temple has been stolen, should not the Tianxuan disciple provide an explanation?”
Looking at the few old monks from Cloud Mountain Temple and then glancing at Linglong, who sat quietly, Tianxuan smiled and said, “You all took such a long time to come find trouble with me; it’s truly commendable.”
“Indeed, the Seven-Colored Lotus of Cloud Mountain Temple was stolen by me charming the Buddhist Daughter Linglong. If you have any issues, just come to me.”
Seeing Tianxuan admit it so candidly, the old monk from Cloud Mountain Temple calmly said, “Since the Seven-Colored Lotus is in your hands, it shows that you have karmic ties with the Buddhist path.”
“The old monk would like to request that you shave your head and become a monk at Cloud Mountain Temple.”
“Ha ha!”
“You’re being a bit greedy; just for eating some lotus seeds and lotus roots, you wish to take me entirely? That’s probably not appropriate.”
“Moreover, according to the teachings of the Buddhist path, in such a situation, you should enlighten me with a direct blow to my head, allowing me to gain sudden insight.”
“To be more straightforward, you need to subdue me.”
“Otherwise, you might as well flow through a stream; this casually joining you would make me lose face.”
After saying this, a surge of lightning power began to manifest around Tianxuan.
Facing this impending confrontation, the people of the Buddhist Nation did not seem overly flustered.
Since entering the Buddhist Nation, this group had already been noticed.
The reason they had yet to settle the matter with Cloud Mountain Temple was that the Dharma Assembly was more important.
They originally planned to wait until after the Dharma Assembly to settle accounts slowly, but who would have thought they would dare to target the Merit Pool?
Since that was the case, they could not be spared.
The attempt to hold the Dharma Assembly meant the Buddhist Nation had also prepared to deal with various troubles.
Killing chickens to warn monkeys, these two Tù Huǔ will become the most striking example for the Buddhist Nation to intimidate the world.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the words fell, Tianxuan’s figure flashed as he quickly pulled Chen Shisan to fly away.
It was clearly unwise to engage with the people of the Buddhist Nation deep within their territory.
As Tianxuan’s figure retreated, the old monk from Cloud Mountain Temple remained calm.
He slowly extended his right hand downward.
A large hand that could cover the sky and shade the sun appeared above Tianxuan’s head.
“Rulai’s Hand Seal!”
Seeing this move, Meng Yu instinctively said something, and then angrily proclaimed, “Master, is it a bit excessive to use such a move against two Tù Huǔ?”
In response to Meng Yu’s questioning, the old monk from Cloud Mountain Temple remained steadfast.
Seeing that escape from pursuit was impossible, Tianxuan tossed Chen Shisan to the ground, and his entire cultivation suddenly erupted at that moment.
Xuan Bird phenomenon, crystal Fate Lamp, thunderous divine powers…
All powers were unleashed by Tianxuan.
A law containing Dao rhythm crashed heavily into that gigantic hand.
Observing Tianxuan using this technique, Huineng the old monk frowned.
Daoist Hongyuan Art, this was once the supreme skill of Shangqing View.
Since the Invincible Daoist ascended, this supreme skill had been lost.
As a member of the Demon Clan, why would he possess the untransmissable secrets of the human Daoist sect?
While pondering this, an inexplicable worry grew in Huineng’s heart.
After the incident at Cloud Mountain Temple, there had been forces secretly hindering their pursuit of these Tù Huǔ.
However, no matter how the Buddhist Nation investigated, they could never uncover the source of this force.
Now this Tù Huǔ from the Demon Clan was using the untransmissable Daoist skill.
It seemed that he stood behind someone of notable background!
“Boom!”
A massive shockwave caused Tianxuan to fall from the air.
Though he successfully withstood the “Rulai’s Hand Seal,” Tianxuan was already unable to continue fighting.
With the Fate Lamp Realm hard resisting a powerful blow from the Buddhist sect, such an achievement could be considered astonishing.
