BXBX NOVEL Chapter 258: Buddhist Beads.
“Is that the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple?”
The 9th Ancestor looked solemnly. The aura he perceived was the same as the aura in the wooden sword just now. They were obviously the same person.
“Well, this is a good time to learn something about other Peak Arhats. What is so different?”
The 9th Ancestor’s eyes flashed.
The 9th Ancestor had never lost to any Peak Legend.
“Huh?”
“Why isn’t that person moving?”
The Court Heads and Abbot Hui Wen saw the 9th Ancestor standing there quietly, they were slightly stunned.
The imposing manner revealed by the 9th Ancestor just now was not an exaggeration. Whether it was the array or the wooden sword left behind by the Venerable, they were quickly suppressed.
With such a peerless powerhouse, logically speaking, there should be no hesitation. So why did he suddenly stop now?
Just when everyone in the Shaolin Temple was confused, Xuan Ku’s heart suddenly moved and he looked towards the direction where the 9th Ancestor was.
He was just a Grade 1 Great Perfection and his Divine Sense can’t cover several hundred li like the 9th Ancestor. Hence, he couldn’t detect Su Qin’s aura in advance.
But Xuan Ku had the Buddha’s Heart and had an extremely keen perception of the outside world. He can faintly guess that the 9th Ancestor was waiting for someone.
“Could it be…”
Xuan Ku’s eyes lit up.
With the strength of the 9th Ancestor, even the entire Shaolin Temple would be unable to withstand a single blow from him. For him to wait cautiously, Su Qin was the only possibility.
Sure enough, after a few moments, a mighty aura permeated from a distance.
Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads looked in the direction where the aura had spread, their expressions suddenly changing.
“That is?!”
Abbot Hui Wen was overjoyed.
“Venerable, it’s the Venerable!”
The Court Heads also cheered excitedly.
Su Qin was the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple. If it were not for Su Qin, the Shaolin Temple would have been destroyed by the Descendant of the Demon Buddha decades ago.
At this moment, before the 9th Ancestor was about to suppress the entire Shaolin Temple, Su Qin appeared like a savior. The ecstasy in their hearts could be imagined.
“The Venerable is back!”
“The Shaolin Temple is saved!”
Many disciples were also shocked and happy. The 9th Ancestor was extremely tyrannical, but in the eyes of these disciples, Su Qin was invincible. In front of Su Qin, even the 9th Ancestor was nothing worth looking at.
“Very strong qi and blood.”
“Also one with a Mini Domain.”
As Su Qin got closer, the 9th Ancestor perceived more information.
Of course, this was also because Su Qin could not be bothered to conceal it. He just let it all out.
Otherwise, if Su Qin wanted to, let alone the 9th Ancestor, even an Earth Immortal using a domain would not find him and simply ignore him.
“This level of qi and blood, he must have at least a hundred years of lifespan…” The 9th Ancestor could not determine the specific lifespan of Su Qin, but from Su Qin’s vigorous qi and blood, he realized that the other party should have sufficient lifespan.
When one had reached the level of Peak Legend, even if one was about to face the limit of their lifespan, one can still maintain a certain level of strength. There will be no such thing as a mundane scene where one can’t even walk.
But qi and blood decaying was inevitable.
The closer one was to the limit of their lifespan, the more their qi and blood would decay. With the fluctuation of qi and blood revealed by Su Qin, he at least had hundreds of years of lifespan that can be squandered.
The 9th Ancestor guessed in his heart, with a hint of envy.
Naturally, the 9th Ancestor didn’t know that the remaining lifespan of Su Qin was far more than just hundreds of years. It was actually more than 940 years old and if you add the Flat Peach, Su Qin’s lifespan would skyrocket to 1940 years.
[Weng~]!
Su Qin soon appeared in front of the Back Mountain Forbidden Area.
The Old Taoist guessed that with a ten thousand li distance, a Peak Legend would take around an incense stick worth of time.
But Su Qin was not an ordinary Peak Legend. It took him far less than half an incense stick worth of time to cross a distance of nearly ten thousand li.
Since entering the 9th Heavenly Layer, Su Qin had not only maintained a solid realm, but also devoured most of the Fire Element pills that he obtained in the past few years, and used it to Cultivate the [Burning Sun Divine Art].
Today, Su Qin’s [Burning Sun Divine Art], although it still did not reach the Small Accomplishment, far exceeded the Entry Level.
With this degree of the [Burning Sun Divine Art], Su Qin could use a little bit of the ability of the Three-legged Golden Crow, such as speed.
Although the Three-legged Golden Crow was known as the Fire Element Divine Beast, with its True Fire hot enough to burn the Heavens and incinerate the Earth, the fire was just the strongest weapon of the Three-legged Golden Crow and not its only weapon.
In addition to the flames, the speed of the Three-legged Golden Crow was also extremely fast.
As a bird type Divine Beast, although the Three-legged Golden Crow was not as good at speed as the Da Peng (Divine Beast), it was far superior to other creatures.
Even by utilizing a small amount of it, Su Qin was able to boost his own speed several times. He’s almost on par with an Earth Immortal.
“Finally back…” Su Qin ignored the 9th Ancestor, as his gaze constantly swept across every corner of the Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple was the place where Su Qin had lived for more than 20 years, and he was very familiar with every corner.
“Venerable.”
Abbot Hui Wen walked to Su Qin and respectfully worshiped.
“Venerable.”
“Greetings, Venerable.”
“Greetings, Venerable.”
Many disciples looked at Su Qin enthusiastically and knelt, one after another.
In an instant, with Su Qin as the center, the entire Shaolin Temple’s tens of thousands of disciples all knelt down, and countless people cried from joy. Many of them were old people, who existed when Su Qin was still a Sweeping Monk. They experienced Su Qin’s power personally time and time again, saving the Shaolin Temple from extinction more than once.
“Venerable.”
Xuan Ku also moved towards Su Qin and bowed deeply.
Su Qin didn’t say anything and just slowly retracted his gaze. He looked at the 9th Ancestor and asked with interest: “Which Ancestor are you in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?”
“I am ranked ninth.”
The 9th Ancestor looked slightly surprised, he didn’t expect Su Qin to already know his identity.
Even now, the 9th Ancestor still had no intention of retreating.
Although Su Qin was vigorous lifespan-wise, the 9th Ancestor had not only cultivated Buddhist Divine that’s deep and unmeasurable, he also carried several pieces of treasure.
In fights, although qi and blood was a very important factor, it’s not the only factor. There were many other factors that affect the result of the fight, such as the Divine Art cultivated and the strength of one’s magic weapon.
This was especially true with the latter. With a powerful magic weapon, one can raise their battle strength to several levels.
“For the sake of not hurting anyone in the Shaolin Temple, I will give you a chance to go first.”
Su Qin’s expression was indifferent, as he calmly said so.
“You’re making me go first?”
When the 9th Ancestor heard this, he immediately moved, without the slightest hesitation. In fights, everything was indisputable. Since Su Qin wanted him to take the first move, of course the 9th Ancestor will not hesitate.
[Hong long long~]!!
Almost instantly, the 9th Ancestor used his techniques with all of his strength. A horrifying aura enveloped the entire Shaolin Temple, which quickly moved all around the area.
In the face of a young Peak Arhat like Su Qin, even if the 9th Ancestor had several treasures under his belt, he did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately tried his best.
Behind the 9th Ancestor was a heavy sound and a ten zhang-sized glaring Buddha appeared out of thin air.
This angry Buddha was far inferior to the Buddha in Su Qin’s eyebrow, but at this moment, as the 9th Ancestor made his best efforts, he also performed beyond Ancestor Chi Yuan.
“Is it possible that this person is really a Buddha?”
Abbot Hui Wen and the others were shocked when they saw this scene.
At this moment, after feeling the true power of the 9th Ancestor, they realized that the 9th Ancestor had kept his strength hidden when he dealt with them. Otherwise, if the 9th Ancestor directly showed such strength, the Shaolin Temple would have been destroyed long ago. How could it be possible that they would survive until Su Qin’s arrival?
“Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?”
“9th Ancestor?”
Abbot Hui Wen swallowed saliva and muttered.
They also heard the conversation between Su Qin and the 9th Ancestor just now.
From those conversations, it was not difficult to grasp that the 9th Ancestor came from a force called the Ten Thousand Buddha’s Hall, and in this force, the 9th Ancestor was only ranked ninth.
If the 9th Ancestor had such terrifying strength, what about the 6th and above Ancestors?
Abbot Hui Wen couldn’t imagine.
Just when everyone thought that the chaos was about to begin.
Su Qin, who was standing quietly, shook his head and said: “Not enough.”
“Just relying on these is not enough.”
Hearing this, the 9th Ancestor’s expression darkened.
At this moment, he had fully divulged his Divine Art. Except for the few treasures he had yet to use, this was his strongest attack. But it’s still insufficient according to Su Qin?
The 9th Ancestor took a deep breath, raised his right hand and a string of Buddhist beads suddenly appeared.
This string of Buddhist beads was dim in color and extremely shabby, but when it appeared, it automatically flew out, revealing a majestic aura that enveloped the people around.
“This string of Buddhist beads was left by a Great Arhat. It is one of the treasures in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. It is enough to shake an Earth Immortal.”
The 9th Ancestor looked at the Buddhist beads and a trace of awe flashed in his tone.
He was telling the truth, the Buddhist beads were indeed a treasure left by a Great Arhat. But if one wanted to use this string of Buddhist beads to battle with an Earth Immortal, you must first be strong enough.
Although the 9th Ancestor was a Peak Arhat, he was still a distance away from the Great Arhat Realm and was far from being able to exert the full power of the Buddhist beads.
It’s just that, even if the 9th Ancestor can’t compete with an Earth Immortal with the Buddhist beads, there was no problem in suppressing an ordinary Peak Legend.
[Bang~]!
As the Buddhist beads rose, the Heavens and Earth around seemed to solidify. The Buddhist beads continued to turn, and finally soared towards Su Qin.
The Buddhist beads flooded the void and slowly pressed down on Su Qin. With this attack, even if Ancestor Chi Yuan was here, he would definitely turn his head and escape. He absolutely did not dare to block the Buddhist beads head-on.
When Abbot Hui Wen and others saw the Buddhist beads, their hands and feet got cold.
Although they have confidence in Su Qin, the Buddhist beads were too terrifying. Even just looking at it from a distance, their minds were suppressed by it. Not to mention that Su Qin was facing them head on.
Under everyone’s horrified gaze.
Su Qin took a step, raised his right hand and clenched his palm into a fist. He then moved towards the Buddhist beads and punched.
The next moment, the punch hit the Buddhist beads.
Suddenly, the Buddhist beads vibrated, and the fierce power from it stopped abruptly.
“This is?!”
The 9th Ancestor, who had just had the look of confidence on his face, suddenly changed his expression and looked at Su Qin incredulously.
