Floating Life Demon Territory, Twin Buddha Child

Red Light never expected that his simple desire to keep a low profile would be taken so seriously by someone.

"Looks like I can't keep a low profile this time..."

A chilling glint appeared in Red Light's eyes as he thought of the demonic statues of the Twin Buddha Child his Master had mentioned, and his eyes burned with intense fighting spirit.

Meanwhile, the battle is about to begin at the Flower Wandering Society.

Night Ancestor and Azure Ancestor Communication to Li Hao, informing him that they were about to arrive in the Azure Wave Realm to watch the battle and support Li Hao.

Upon hearing the news, Qing Jiu feigned a pitiful expression and said, "Has no one come to see me?"

"You have your Master to back you up, why would you need us? Qing Feng is all Lone Man."

"Night Ancestor said irritably."

"Exactly, let's see how you show off!" Azure Ancestor even more direct.

Qing Jiu sighed helplessly, "Your favoritism is really hurting me."

"You still have the energy to ramble on here? I think you're itching to get your hands dirty," Azure Ancestor said.

Qing Jiu:

Upon learning that Night Ancestor and his group were coming, Li Hao Communication to Zhan Tan, asking her to help with their reception.

Zhan Tan told Li Hao to focus on preparing for the battle and not to let these things distract him.

She had already felt that discussing Painting Dao with Li Hao earlier was somewhat of a delay for Li Hao. With the battle imminent, she had also received some news that many Heavenly Prodigies were breaking through their limits under pressure, reaching a new level of strength, which might threaten Li Hao.

As the war drew near, the Azure Sea Great Emperor also approached Li Hao, Red Light, Su Yun, and others, asking them if they needed any assistance, such as weapons or Divine Pills.

Su Yun said she lacked the Dao Condensation Pill, while Red Light said she didn't need it, as did Li Hao.

"If you can secure a spot in the battle for the Azure Wave Realm, you will receive the Incense of the Azure Wave Realm. The exact amount you will receive will depend on your performance in the battle," said the Azure Sea Great Emperor.

He had high expectations for both Li Hao and Red Light. He had previously placed his bets heavily on Red Light, believing that he would definitely get a spot in the Top Ten. But Li Hao's performance surprised him even more. If both of them could represent the Azure Wave Realm in the battle, the Azure Sea Divine Dynasty would receive two portions of dragon energy!

This is a gift from the Heavenly Dao of the Azure Wave Realm. These two portions of dragon energy can stabilize the Azure Sea Divine Dynasty and give birth to Prodigy with the potential to become Sage among the Imperial Clan. If he absorbs them himself, he can also use them to cultivate into Imperial Dao Sage.

Each Sage forms their own system, such as the Sword Saint, the Literary Saint, and the Buddhist Dao Sages. However, if the emperor of the Divine Dynasty wants to become a sage, he can cultivate the Imperial Dao, which requires accumulating dragon energy.

On the eve of the great battle, the Three Great Sacred Lands and Ten Kings were extremely lively, and the Heavenly Prodigy who had not been selected were also looking forward to this Heaven Pride Battle in the Azure Wave Realm.

The days passed quickly, and the competition for the spots was decided to take place within the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land.

Since the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle was introduced, the venues for the quota battles in the Azure Wave Realm have been rotated among the Three Great Sacred Lands.

This allows the Sacred Land to showcase its splendor and attract the Divine Dynasty Heavenly Prodigy; this year, it just so happens to be the turn of the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land.

Li Hao and Red Light, along with other members of the Divine Dynasty's Top Ten contestants, traveled to the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land with the Imperial Clan of the Divine Dynasty.

Even from afar, outside the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land, one can see a majestic, towering Saint Peak, Auspicious Omens filling the sky, bathed in Buddha Light, as if the sun had descended upon the Saint Peak, transforming into a precious pearl shimmering with countless Buddha Light.

Once you enter the Buddhist Sect Earthly Territory, you can faintly hear the devout chanting of Buddhist scriptures.

Compared to the contestants like Li Hao, the other spectators had come a day in advance through connections, hoping to get a front-row seat.

At the foot of the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land mountain, two colossal beasts resembling Golden Lions lay prostrate, exuding the Aura of the Half-Saint Realm. Although they resembled Golden Lions, it was clear to any discerning eye that they were ancient Demon Kings, concealing their True Forms.

Half-Saint Buddha Beast guards the entrance at the foot of the mountain, while monks greet visitors at the steps along the way, showcasing the aura of Buddha Light.

"This is Buddhist Sect Sacred Land?"

"It was so solemn and dignified that I subconsciously dared not speak loudly."

"So many Buddha Beasts! Look! Using Buddha Beasts as mounts, those must be Half-Saint Realm Buddha Beasts, right?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

At the summit of the sacred peak, a vast expanse of land, millions of people from all sides gathered. Princes and princesses were everywhere, as were inheritors of ancient martial arts families, direct descendants of princes, and so on. They all had extremely powerful backgrounds; otherwise, they would not have been able to witness the battle in person and could only look up at it from home through the boundary stone.

Besides those with powerful backgrounds, there were also many outstanding talents from various Heavenly Prodigy, who gathered together and created a formidable force.

However, in front of the crowd, there were several Buddhist Half-Saint revealing their precious forms. They were enormous and towering, hundreds of feet tall, and were extremely conspicuous among the millions of people gathered at the summit.

Their mounts were also enormous and imposing, and were actually Half-Saint Realm.

Some are blue lions, some are Golden-Haired Hou, and there are also White Pigs, Peacock Kings, and so on, all exuding Auspicious Omens. But before these Buddha Beasts were subdued, they must have been ferocious demons that terrified people.

Above the Buddha Treasure Hall, the Sage of the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land, the Thousand Lifetimes Buddha, sat majestically, his precious appearance as solemn as the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. He was a thousand feet tall, and even those standing on the periphery of the Saint Peak could clearly see that his whole body radiated golden Buddhist Dao light, spreading Auspicious Omens.

The Thousand Lifetimes Buddha is also the master of the Buddhist Sect. He has survived the Three Calamities Tribulation and has one foot in the Supreme Saint Realm.

Legend has it that he has reincarnated a thousand times and has seen through the Origins of the world, including birth, old age, sickness, death, Merit and Fame, fortune, right and wrong, honor and disgrace, and has reached State of Mind of great transcendence.

In the Azure Wave Realm, the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land holds the highest status, and this Thousand Lifetimes Buddha is widely recognized as the strongest being in the Azure Wave Realm.

Now, all forces and countless Heavenly Prodigy have caught sight of this supreme expert of the Azure Wave Realm, and their eyes all reveal reverence and respect.

As various forces gathered, Li Hao and his group also arrived. He and Red Light walked among the Top Ten the Divine Dynasty, attracting much attention. They were both popular candidates to secure a spot in this battle.

As Li Hao and his group arrived, a commotion soon broke out in the arena, as many Saint Child and Saint Daughters from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land also came.

Li Hao and Red Light turned around and saw a group of elegant figures walking towards the steps. There were men and women, but they all had a scholarly air about them, like literati who were just strolling around the world and chatting.

This "sao" is the "sao" in "Li Sao".

Li Hao spotted familiar figures among them: Zhan Tan and Zhao Qing Shu.

However, Zhan Tan was merely an accessory, there to escort them, walking to the side and behind.

Walking in the center were ten young men and women, including Zhao Qing Shu, all Aura of the Dao Law Realm.

At the very front was a young scholar, handsome and extraordinary, like an ordinary Xiucai. His eyes revealed a kind of indifference that had seen through the world, as if he had read countless books and was no longer surprised or curious by any changes.

"Is that Lin Shuhai from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land? He looks quite ordinary."

"That's called restraint. What do you know? My friends from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land told me that he easily defeated a group of geniuses from the Martial Ancestor Holy Heavenly Prodigy with just three words. Can you imagine?"

"That's really exaggerated?"

Many people focused their attention on the young scholar, their gazes serious.

His Red Light eyes narrowed. Besides the Twin Buddha Child, he also wanted to test his skills against this Heavenly Prodigy from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land.

Sensing his fighting gaze, Lin Shuhai looked over, his eyes meeting Red Light's, but his expression remained calm, a slight smile appearing on his lips as he nodded gently.

Red Light grinned; these guys from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land were indeed very polite.

Zhan Tan, who was behind Lin Shuhai, also noticed Li Hao, and a gentle smile appeared on her calm and serene face.

This appearance drew the attention of those around her, who were somewhat mesmerized. This Half-Saint- saint possessed an ethereal beauty and an air of noble inviolability, yet her gentle smile at this moment seemed to turn the mortal world upside down, causing hearts to flutter.

"Night Ancestor and the others have arrived. I'll introduce them to you after you're done."

Zhan Tan transmitted his voice to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded.

As the people from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land took their seats, a commotion soon arose again near the steps outside the venue.

A group of imposing figures walked over, each with a different aura, but all exuding a chilling aura. They were none other than the Bright Moon Saint Child and others from the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land.

"The Sword Ancestor Sacred Land has arrived too; everyone's here!"

"What's that Saintess's name? She's so beautiful."

"Watch your words. That's Ancestor Yao, an elder of the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land. But she was indeed Saintess several hundred years ago."

Li Hao turned his head and saw Ancestor Yao, Lin Qingying, and the others. They were all familiar faces, and he couldn't help but smile.

Lin Qingying and Ancestor Yao noticed Li Hao's gaze and looked at him. Ancestor Yao smiled and nodded slightly to Li Hao.

Previously, Li Hao had displayed unparalleled Sword Dao, and recently he had also won first place in the Divine Dynasty's Rogue Person Tournament. She knew that this battle would be the moment when Li Hao would truly make a name for himself.

When Lin Qingying saw Li Hao, she immediately thought of the insights she had gained during her Seclusion, and felt a sense of peace in her heart.

Beside them, Bian Ruxue, Bright Moon Saint Child, and the others also noticed Li Hao, since the seats occupied by Li Hao and the other Rogue Person of the Divine Dynasty were the same as those of the Sacred Land, and were in the most conspicuous places.

Recalling the information he had gathered upon emerging from seclusion, the Bright Moon Saint Child's expression turned cold. Li Hao clearly disregarded him completely, and even disregarded everyone else, thinking that defeating him would secure him first place?

Although he was furious, a sharper glint appeared in his eyes. He had gained a great deal from this Seclusion, and he would avenge himself!

Bian Ruxue and the other Saint Child and Saint Daughters saw Li Hao, but they didn't feel anything. It had been too long since Li Hao had displayed his Sword Dao, and they knew that Li Hao was a Sword Dao prodigy. If they encountered him this time, they could only avoid his sharp edge.

As the people from the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land arrived, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly heated.

"Look, those are Buddhist Sect Buddha Child!"

"Is that the Twin Buddha Child? I heard he's mastered the Six Great Extreme Realms, that's terrifying!"

"I heard that he has had Heart Demon since childhood, and his cultivation to this day is all about subduing that Heart Demon. While others fight against external forces, he fights against himself!"

From the Buddhist hall ahead, ten figures emerged, including Buddha Child and female Bodhisattvas, all with serene and peaceful expressions, seemingly unaffected by external distractions.

The leader was a young Buddha Child, dressed in a black and white Kasaya, with one of his eyes being white, making him look rather eerie.

As the other party walked out, the previously noisy Saint Peak became much quieter in an instant, and many people's eyes became particularly solemn. This was the Twin Buddha Child of the Buddhist Sect, who were the most famous among the Three Great Sacred Lands. In addition to the Six Extremes Realm, they also possessed many Divine Ability and methods. Legend has it that they were the reincarnations of a Buddhist Sect Sage who sought to advance further.

Upon seeing the other person, Red Light, who was standing next to Li Hao, became serious.

He could vaguely see a terrifying demonic statue behind the other person. Although it was extremely well hidden, just the fact that it was standing there gave him the feeling that his gaze could not be locked onto it.

Besides him, Lin Shuhai, who was inside the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land, also glanced at the other party indifferently, his eyes flickering slightly, but his expression did not change much.

"Is this the Twin Buddha Child? How terrifying! I heard he devoured his own sibling while still in the womb. He's born with both Buddha and demonic bodies; it's incredibly frightening."

Li Qingyi's eyes were wary as she stared at the Twin Buddha Child. She seemed to notice her reflection in their white pupils, and a feeling of dread washed over her. She dared not look any longer.

"My Master said that some powerful individuals begin their plans from the womb; it's not purely innate, but rather the work of Sage!"

Zhao Qing Shu said with a solemn expression.

"We are certainly no match for them; I wonder if Senior Brother Book Sea can win."

They looked at Lin Shuhai before them. Although he appeared refined and composed, like an ordinary Xiucai, they knew how terrifying this Senior Brother was in battle.

If one can win this battle, they will surely receive a generous Incense. After all, Ten Kings in the Azure Wave Realm will be watching this battle, which will attract countless people to admire them and offer them Incense.

"This feeling... it's kind of familiar..."

Li Hao looked at the Twin Buddha Child, his eyes flickering slightly. He thought of the Buddha Master he had killed earlier, who had also used this method to cultivate Buddha-Demon Dual Cultivation. For Buddhist cultivators, it was certainly difficult to see through the karmic obstacles of the world, but it was even more difficult to overcome the demons in their hearts. This was a difficult hurdle for all Buddhist cultivators.

As human beings, we are bound to Heart Demons. Buddhist practitioners, who strive for transcendence, must subdue or suppress these Heart Demons.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the Half-Saint of the Buddhist Sect and the Thousand Lifetimes Buddha.

He could vaguely sense that what the other party was revealing at this moment was not the True Form, but an avatar.

Even so, it was like a blazing sun, inspiring a sense of awe and reverence.

Is this the strongest of the Three Tribulations Saints below the Supreme Saint?

Li Hao had also learned about the three realms of Sage in recent days. Each of the Three Calamities. Each time one overcomes a calamity, one's strength will increase significantly. However, each calamity is also a tribulation!

Throughout history, more Sages have perished under the Three Calamities than exist today.

Once one survives the Three Calamities, one's name will be remembered for eternity. As long as one doesn't seek death, one can live to a ripe old age, which is an extremely long Years.

At this moment, as everyone arrived, not long after, two enormous void-like structures suddenly appeared in the sky, from which two figures slowly emerged, their figures majestic and enormous like the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, namely the Sword Saint and the Literary Saint.

Li Hao had seen the Sword Saint before and could tell at a glance that the opponent was now a reflection of himself, just like the Void Saint avatar that had chased him before.

The same was true for the Literary Saint. This was the first time he had seen the Literary Saint. The other party seemed to be a great Confucian scholar, but he was full of Auspicious Omens. The Void in which he was located showed the phantom of a blue sea Bamboo Grove, as if a leisurely Qing Feng was blowing, and it looked extremely peaceful.

Beside the Sword Saint, light distorted into sword shadows, forming Sword Domain phenomenon.

The gathering of the three Sages to witness the Heaven Pride Battle in the Azure Wave Realm was a sight that made many of Heavenly Prodigy geniuses present envious.

Unfortunately, they no longer have the opportunity to perform on stage. Otherwise, they could have showcased their talents before the Sage, and if they had gained his favor, they would have soared to great heights!

As the three Sages Descent, the Thousand Lifetimes Buddha, seated above the Buddhist temple on a dazzling Lotus Pedestal, exchanged a glance with Sword Saint Literary Saint and the Sage of Sword Saint, Sacred Capital nodded slightly to him.

Without much small talk, the two were already old acquaintances. The Thousand-Life Buddha Master slowly explained the rules of this battle.

Now, the Three Great Sacred Lands and the Rogue Person of the Divine Dynasty, totaling forty people, will not engage in combat in the first round, but rather search for Spirit Pearls.

The Thousand Lifetimes Buddha raised his hand and pointed, and a ray of Buddha Light, like a golden flame, fell out and burned a Void Passage in Void center of the Square.

On the other side of the passage lies a Forbidden Zone, inhabited by Demons.

"These are Spirit Pearls, scattered throughout the Floating Life Demon Territory. The Top Twenty who bring back the Spirit Pearls will advance, while those who lag behind will be eliminated."

The Thousand Lifetimes Buddha spoke slowly.

These rules had already been discovered by certain forces and had spread to the ears of contestants like Li Hao.

Li Hao was not surprised because he had been secretly informed by Zhan Tan. The other disciples of the Sacred Land also remained calm, as they were already aware of the rules.

Only a few Rogue Person of the Divine Dynasty, including Su Yun, showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this, which also shows that the power behind them was not strong and that they had not been informed in advance.

"To prevent anyone from harvesting Spirit Pearl at once, only one will be released at a time, witnessed by both the Literary Saint and the Sword Saint, and will be randomly handed over to Demon in the Floating Life Demon Territory Realm."

"Whoever can defeat the Demon and retrieve the Spirit Pearl the fastest will advance in rank."

As the Thousand Lifetimes Buddha spoke, the silver-white Spirit Pearl in his hand transformed into a stream of light and flew into the void rift in the arena.

Li Hao knew that this was essentially a demon-slaying competition.

After the Spirit Pearl fell, the first to go into battle were the Buddhist Sect disciples, specifically the Twin Buddha Child.

This was a random selection Principle. Everyone was surprised and taken aback to see the highly anticipated Twin Buddha Child make their move first, but even more so, they were filled with anticipation, wondering how the other would perform.

The Twin Buddha Child remained calm and expressionless as they stepped directly into the Void Rift under the watchful eyes of the entire audience.

The place was extremely quiet, and the scene within the Floating Life Demon Territory was nowhere to be seen.

The World Stone reflects only the confrontation and battle that follows.

At this point, it can only be considered a Preliminary Selection elimination.

A moment later, light appeared in the Void Rift, and the figures of the Twin Buddha Child stepped out, holding the silver-white Spirit Pearl in their hands.

At this moment, someone nearby was responsible for recording and checking the time, and immediately announced in a loud voice:

"Twin Buddha Child, 1 minute 34 seconds!"

Everyone was surprised to hear this, not expecting the other party to come out so quickly.

However, he had no concept of such a result, but he did realize that the other party was very fast. The Demon guarding the Spirit Pearl was at least at the Dao Law Realm. To find it, kill it, and take back the Spirit Pearl in such a short time was definitely fast.

Not long after, the second chosen prodigy made his Heavenly Prodigy, and his opponent was none other than Zhao Qing Shu, whom Li Hao had met before.

Zhao Qing Shu's expression was solemn. Making a move after the Twin Buddha Child would inevitably create a contrast, and he felt somewhat unlucky.

However, being Heavenly Prodigy, he wasn't too afraid and quickly stepped forward.

After the Spirit Pearl was released, Zhao Qing Shu stepped into the Floating Life Demon Territory.

Time passed, and a cup of tea was gone... After a long while, Li Hao estimated that about fifteen minutes had elapsed. Finally, a figure staggered out from the crack; it was Zhao Qing Shu.
