Transcendent Mortal Third Rank, Fusion

What? Preserve the Wu Hua for preventing flowering)?

Xu Bai initially thought he had misheard, but after asking again and again, he received an affirmative answer from the abbot of Vajra Temple.

"What does Wu Hua have to do with this matter?"

He was puzzled as to why Wu Hua needed to be protected, judging from the Vajra Temple's expression at that moment, Wu Hua seemed to be of particular importance.

The path now facing the abbot of Vajra Temple is to decipher the secrets of the Saint Buddha Skeleton. If any discoveries are made, it may be possible to resolve the current problems within Buddhists.

But why is it related to Wu Hua? The abbot of Vajra Temple put his hands together and said, "King Xu, since we want to solve the problems of the past, there is bound to be a possibility of failure. The problems have existed for so long, from the past to the present, that means there is still a high possibility of failure."

"What I mean is, if Buddhists were to fall into utter ruin in the future, if it's convenient for you, King Xu, please lend Wu Hua."

Xu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from what the host said, Wu Hua seems to be different from others."

Even a fool could tell that Wu Hua's identity was different from what it seemed on the surface.

The abbot of Vajra Temple chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "If all Buddhists are destroyed, as long as Wu Hua is still alive, he will be able to create a brand new Buddhists. This is just my guess, after all... his identity cannot be revealed."

This answer was very strange, vague and mysterious. In short, it did not give Xu Bai a clear answer, but it was full of mystery.

Xu Bai knew that the abbot of Vajra Temple simply didn't want to tell him. No one would want to be a riddle teller, so this answer was perfunctory and also meant that the abbot was unwilling to tell Xu Bai.

He didn't dwell on these things. Everyone has their own secrets and the right to keep them hidden. Forcing someone to keep their secrets is not a good thing.

Xu Bai steered the conversation back to the topic, looking at the Saint Buddha Skeleton not far ahead, and said, "Then let's begin from today. I will study the Saint Buddha Skeleton here."

The progress bar was right in front of him, and Xu Bai felt it would be excessive not to hurry up and work on it.

Seeing Xu Bai's eagerness, the abbot of Vajra Temple knew it was time to get down to business. He didn't chat for long and only left after confirming that Xu Bai was there and wouldn't go far.

When they left, the abbot of Vajra Temple closed the door behind him.

After the door slammed shut, Xu Bai turned around and gave the first-grade puppet beside him a wink. The puppet, with its cold eyes, slowly walked to the door and locked it from the inside.

After completing all this and waiting until all preparations were in place, Xu Bai rubbed his hands together and came to the Saint Buddha Skeleton, examining them from head to toe.

Just as he had guessed, when the two progress bars were on the same object, they could be seen at a glance, and both progress bars would rise at the same time.

This was due to a confluence of favorable timing, location, and human factors; such a situation is rarely seen under normal circumstances.

This was the first time he had ever seen this. He had tried before, but even if he stacked two books together, they would never rise at the same time.

So it should be considered a coincidence, but whether it's a coincidence or not, in Xu Bai it's just a progress bar.

Having found a good spot, Xu Bai sat down comfortably and began to work hard.

Time passed slowly.

During this period, Xu Bai has been working non-stop, never leaving his room, constantly rushing to meet the deadline.

While he was tediously working on the progress bar, his recent deeds had already spread throughout the entire Vajra Temple.

Especially the fact that he almost drove the leaders of a group of medium-sized temples to their deaths shortly after his arrival is something that people talk about with great interest.

Of course, although Xu Bai was working hard to improve his progress, he wasn't completely oblivious to what was happening. From time to time, a young monk would bring him food, and he managed to find out about these things.

Especially after learning that the group of old monks who were angered by his nose were even more upset upon hearing these rumors, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I'm so angry, but I don't dare to fight back. It's really frustrating..." Xu Bai thought to himself with a sarcastic remark.

In front of him, two golden progress bars were moving forward side by side, just one step away from completion. He didn't leave; he just sat there, waiting quietly for the final progress bar to complete.

It seemed like only a sliver of progress, but it took a full incense stick's time for the last bit of progress to finally complete.

Pale blue smoke appeared before his eyes, then condensed into new characters that appeared in front of Xu Bai.

[You should observe and annotate the text to understand the Exemption Suppression Scripture *.]

[You observe the Saint Buddha Skeleton and comprehend the Demon Absorption Skill.]

"As expected, it's two skills." Xu Bai smiled slightly.

As he expected, the "Exemption Suppression Scripture" should be the annotation left by the abbot of Vajra Temple, since the annotation was originally for suppressing the remains.

As for the other Demon Absorption Skill, it should be something from the Saint Buddha Skeleton.

Thinking this, Xu Bai continued to look at the light blue text. Although the light blue text disappeared, it did not dissipate. Instead, it was re-condensing, which was a sign that it was about to merge.

A moment later, new text reappeared.

[Mergeable options found, currently in progress.]

[Immunity from Suppression + Vajra Saint Demon Body = Vajra Saint Demon Exemption Suppression Body.]

[Demon Absorption Skill + Myriad Aspects Heavenly Art = Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Art.]

[Merger successful!]

The next moment, the light blue text in front of him transformed into a large amount of information and flooded into Xu Bai's mind.

Xu Bai closed his eyes and wandered through the chaotic flow of information. After a while, he finally sorted out all the information before opening his eyes again.

The latest panel appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Xu Bai]

[Realm Level: Third Grade Mortal Third Rank Loose Cultivator.]

Two truly significant gains.

First, it was the Vajra Saint Demon Body, which advanced to the Vajra Saint Demon Exemption Suppression Body.

The addition of the words "exempt from suppression" has resulted in an outstanding improvement in effectiveness. The so-called "exempt from suppression" means avoiding all forms of suppression.

Anyone below the first level of Transcendent Realm can be exempted from this, while those above that level also have sufficient resistance.

Currently, this skill is powerful enough, but it is still slightly inferior to the next upgrade.

First, his strength reached the third rank of Transcendent Realm, a significant improvement.

Many of the skills he possesses are of high quality, but one must have the foundation to execute them. Reaching the third level of the Transcendent Realm makes this foundation even more solid.

The reason for this is the Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Art, which is at the third stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Compared to the Myriad Aspects Heavenly Art, it has the additional word "Guide," and this "Guide" has extremely profound uses.

First of all, this skill is thanks to the Saint Buddha Skeleton.

As for the skill on the Saint Buddha Skeleton, it is called the Demon Absorption Skill. This technique has a very important characteristic: it can absorb the chanting of Buddhists and prayers and then use it to bless itself. This is also the reason why the Saint Buddha Skeleton can exist for so long.

However, this thing has a drawback: it can't be used while you're alive; it can only be used when you're dead.

After being integrated with the Myriad Aspects Heavenly Art, the Myriad Aspects Heavenly Art became the Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Art, removing those drawbacks and adding a new characteristic.

His Heavenly Change is chaos, Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Art now possesses the ability to absorb chaos and erupt violently.

Absorbing the chaos of others, the more you absorb, the stronger you become, and most importantly, this skill has no upper limit.

What does "no limit" mean? It means that as long as he keeps absorbing like this, as long as he lives long enough and no one disturbs him, he could even destroy the world in one fell swoop.

However, it still has a drawback: the coverage area is not large, and the speed is not very fast.

Xu Bai estimated that if his cultivation technique continued to improve, it might increase the speed and area covered.

But that's enough; enough for him to use as a trump card.

Xu Bai stood up, stretched his neck, and looked delighted.

I currently have nine books from nine other major temples, but I don't have time to read them yet, as I need to investigate the issue of the Saint Buddha Skeleton first.

If you've accepted something and promised something, you have to do it well so that business will continue to flow in.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai circulated his True Yuan Power and began to carefully examine the Saint Buddha Skeleton in front of him.

He has absorbed the progress bar above and possesses a similar ability, so he can see the anomaly.

After a thorough examination, Xu Bai finally found the problem on the little finger of the Saint Buddha Skeleton.

That little finger was the only place where flesh and blood had grown back. When Xu Bai looked over, a thread that ordinary people could not see appeared at the tip of the little finger of the Saint Buddha Skeleton. The thread was very long and went straight to the ceiling.

Xu Bai followed the semi-transparent blood-red thread and saw that the ceiling had been pierced by the thread, or rather, the thread was invisible and the ceiling could not block it at all.

"Is there no end? Is it in the sky?"

With the ceiling blocking his view, Xu Bai couldn't see clearly either. He went straight out the door, came outside, and jumped onto the roof.

Only then did he see the silk thread, which stretched straight to the sky.

No one could see it; only after absorbing the skill could Xu Bai see it clearly.

At the end of this silk thread was emptiness, yet the thread remained inserted there as if it had been pierced through.

The contrast between the azure sky and the blood-red threads is somewhat eerie.

Xu Bai frowned, got up and flew to the end of the silk thread.

As he got closer, he finally saw clearly that the thread had indeed plunged into the void.

He didn't know what was on the other end, but judging from the current situation, it certainly wasn't good.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "I'd better tell the host this first, and I'd better not make any rash moves."

Regardless of whether the host can see it or not, I've already found out, so of course I should tell them.

As for moving this thread here first, Xu Bai had no such idea.

Novels and TV dramas told him that people who are prone to making mistakes never have a good ending.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai turned around, preparing to land back on the ground and tell the story.

Unexpectedly, before he could even fly down, he felt a gaze fixed on him.

Xu Bai suddenly turned his head and looked at the end of the silk thread behind him.

The feeling of being stared at just now came from there.

When he turned around, he finally realized who was watching him.

At the edge of the horizon, where everything was originally empty, a phantom image flickered, sometimes shining and sometimes dimming.

The phantom didn't look very tall, and was even about the same height and build as an ordinary person, but just standing there in mid-air gave Xu Bai an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Destruction, destruction, slaughter...

The figure exuded a variety of extreme and direct emotions, giving it an indescribable quality that made people afraid to look directly into it, lest a single glance plunge them into endless madness.

This feeling kept spreading, and if someone else were here, they probably wouldn't be able to stand it.

Xu Bai felt alright. Although he also felt a little uncomfortable, his Heavenly Change was extremely chaotic, so he had long been used to it.

"Saint Buddha?" he asked slowly.

When those two words were uttered, the figure in front of him swayed slightly and then quickly dissipated, as if it had been triggered by Xu Bai uttering those two words.

Xu Bai stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "This aura feels so familiar."

In the instant his figure dissipated, he sensed a familiar aura spreading through the air.

He was very familiar with this aura, as it had left a deep impression on him.

—The Ghost Market! The moment the figure of the Saint Buddha disappeared, the aura of the Ghost Market was revealed. Although it was only a trace and quickly disappeared, Xu Bai was certain of it.

Among the living, no one understands the Ghost Market better than him.

After all, he had visited both the Demon-Strange Entity Market and the Human-Strange Entity Market, and the memories were vivid.

"Yes, I think I understand now." After sensing that aura, Xu Bai thought about it carefully and connected the recent events, and a clue had formed in his mind.

"The Saint Buddha is dead. In this world, when a person dies, they either become nothing or they turn into a strange creature."

"Judging from this situation, the Saint Buddha has become a monster, and entered the Ghost Market when he became a monster, so he has retained his consciousness from his previous life."

"He wants to be resurrected, and after being resurrected, he will come out of the Ghost Market."

Once the general outline was clear, Xu Bai descended from the sky.

We can't wait any longer; we must inform the abbot of Vajra Temple about this as soon as possible and see if he and the other nine major temples have any solutions.

Because the things involved are becoming increasingly complex, even the Ghost Market has become involved.

After landing on the ground, Xu Bai did not linger and went straight to the room of the abbot of the Vajra Temple.

He soon arrived at his destination and knocked on the door.

Before long, the abbot of Vajra Temple opened the door. Upon seeing that it was Xu Bai, he stepped aside to let Xu Bai into the room before closing the door again.

Before the abbot of the Vajra Temple could ask, Xu Bai recounted the whole story. Of course, he didn't reveal anything he should keep secret, such as his cheat ability.

After listening to Xu Bai's explanation, the abbot of Vajra Temple fell into deep thought.

It took about half an incense stick's time for him to snap out of his reverie.

"It's even related to the Ghost Market." The abbot of Vajra Temple said, "Your King Xu, please wait a moment. This matter can no longer be kept secret. I need to inform those old guys."

Without pausing, the abbot of Vajra Temple hurried away.

Xu Bai did not stop him, calmly sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Actually, it's normal for the abbot of Vajra Temple to want to talk about this now, since it involves the Ghost Market. What Xu Bai can understand, the abbot of Vajra Temple can certainly understand as well.

A very important point here is that the resurrection of the Saint Buddha is no longer the most serious matter.

More seriously, resurrection means that the Saint Buddha has emerged from the Ghost Market.

If they can really get out using this method, the Ghost Market will definitely be able to detect it. If they use this to simulate other methods, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Currently, a major war is breaking out between the Human-Strange Entity Market and the Demon-Strange Entity Market, both in an effort to unify the two cities as soon as possible and then launch a large-scale attack.

If there had been an easier way beforehand, they would certainly have accepted it much more readily.

Therefore, the nature of this matter has changed, and the abbot of Vajra Temple has no need to hide it.

Before long, the remaining nine abbots, led by the abbot of Vajra Temple, arrived in the room.

The door was closed, and a somber atmosphere filled the room.

"King Xu, let's go see the Saint Buddha Skeleton together," the abbot of the Vajra Temple said solemnly.

Xu Bai put down his teacup and asked, "Is there already a solution?"

The abbot of Vajra Temple nodded and said, "It's better to give it a try than not to try at all."

Xu Bai didn't say anything, he just nodded in agreement.

The group left the room and went to the house where the Saint Buddha Skeleton had been placed at the beginning.

The Saint Buddha Skeleton were still scattered aside, seemingly without any abnormalities, but in Xu Bai, the thread on the little finger was very conspicuous.

"Gentlemen, the reason I didn't tell you before was because I didn't have solid evidence, but now we do." The abbot of Vajra Temple took a deep breath and said, "Then let's destroy the flesh on his little finger!"

Xu Bai stood aside listening. He had initially thought it was a brilliant method, but it turned out to be so simple. He couldn't help but frown. "Just destroy the flesh and blood of the little finger?"

In his view, if it's going to be destroyed, then it's better to destroy the entire Saint Buddha Skeleton. Destroying only the flesh of a little finger is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause, in case it grows back.

Upon hearing this, the hosts exchanged glances and gave each other wry smiles.

One of the abbots chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "Your King Xu, you may not know this, but with its current level of hardness, it is truly impossible to destroy the skeleton. At most, we can only wipe away the flesh and blood on it."

Xu Bai said, "I know that even if you join forces, you can't destroy it, but why not let everyone in the world join forces?"

The hosts fell silent.

Clearly, Xu Bai's words left them speechless.

Just because they can't destroy something doesn't mean there aren't stronger experts.

If even stronger masters can't destroy it, then gather all the masters in the world together and destroy them all. At least in the Great Chu Kingdom, the masters within its borders will obey the emperor's order.

At this moment, seeing the hosts fall silent, Xu Bai felt that they had some ulterior motives.

No one answered Xu Bai's question. The abbots of the nine major temples stepped back, allowing the abbot of the Vajra Temple to step forward.

The abbot of Vajra Temple looked left and right, realizing he had been tricked again, and could only helplessly say, "Your King Xu, this matter must not be done."

"Can we guarantee that everyone in this world is righteous? There will always be people with ill intentions."

"Moreover, there are also the Great Yue Kingdom and the Barbarian Tribe. If, during the destruction process, some conspiracy or trickery is used, causing things to develop in an unpredictable direction, that would be a real sin."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.

But their methods are ultimately just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

"From now on, we will clean the Saint Buddha Skeleton every so often to ensure that similar problems do not occur," said the abbot of Vajra Temple.

Xu Bai nodded.

If that's the case, then this is the only way to do it; at least it will alleviate the symptoms and prevent them from growing worse.

"Then let's begin," the abbot of Vajra Temple said, looking at the other abbots.

The abbots of the nine major temples agreed, and without any attempt to hide it from Xu Bai, they all clasped their hands together and surrounded the Saint Buddha statue in front of them.

The next moment, each of the abbots raised their right hand and placed it above the Saint Buddha Skeleton.

Waves of Buddhist light rose from their bodies, accompanied by mysterious chanting.

The entire room was filled with Buddhist light and sounds, which were so enchanting that they made one feel completely absorbed.

As Xu Bai stood in the room, he felt as if the ten abbots in front of him had gathered together, forming a Buddha as tall as a mountain.

"As expected of a top expert of the older generation," Xu Bai thought to himself as he silently took a step back.

Even though the Buddha's light wasn't directed at him, he could still feel the pressure as great as a mountain.

The Buddha's light and sound continue to spread, and under the Buddha's light and sound, the little finger of the Buddha's remains is undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The flesh on my little finger, influenced by the Buddha's light and sound, did not dissolve quickly; instead, it continued to grow rapidly.

Upon seeing this, Xu Bai quickly shouted.

"Stop!"

The hosts all stopped and their faces darkened upon seeing the scene.

"Why is that?" Xu Bai asked.

Instead of being destroyed, it helped the plant grow. This strange scene was something he had never seen before.

The abbot of Vajra Temple chanted a Buddhist prayer and sighed, "We miscalculated. The Saint Buddha's plan was too detailed. Buddhists originated from him, and using Buddhist methods to deal with him will only help him grow."

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow but did not answer.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was secretly pondering in his heart.

The Buddhist methods seem to have failed, since Buddhists techniques simply cannot erase the flesh and blood on it; on the contrary, the more they are used, the faster it grows.

Then we'll have to use other methods.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai said, "Write a letter to His Majesty, report what happened, and ask him to find an equal number of experts to smooth things over."

The solution has been clearly stated: the entire operation cannot be destroyed, because destroying it would require too many experts, human nature is unpredictable, and the Great Yue Kingdom and the Barbarian Tribe are also watching with predatory eyes.

However, destroying only the physical body, specifically the flesh and blood of the little finger segment, only requires an equal number of skilled individuals.

The abbot of Vajra Temple said, "I'm afraid this round trip will take a long time."

Xu Bai said, "That's better than having nothing to do, and I think it's best not to start any research on the Saint Buddha Skeleton."

Now that the matter of the Saint Buddha Skeleton has been clarified, further attempts to understand them would likely cause unnecessary trouble. Minimizing all risks is the best course of action.

The abbot of Vajra Temple and the other abbots exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

"That's the only way, but we've already made our promise, so we need to find a good excuse this time."

Xu Bai asked curiously, "Why make an excuse? If you make an excuse, aren't you obviously telling others that something is going on? We still need to study the Saint Buddha Skeleton. Just make a fake one. With the abilities of the ten abbots, I believe you should be able to do it."

They've already made the announcement, but suddenly they're not going to carry it out. Wouldn't that be like protesting too much? They might as well just make a fake one and get through this.

The abbot of Vajra Temple thought about it and felt that this method would work.

There's still some time before the date set for studying the Saint Buddha Skeleton is approached. They can create a fake one to keep the arriving monks calm for now.

By this time, a basic solution had been found. Next, Xu Bai left the room, wrote a letter, and handed it to the abbot of Vajra Temple, asking him to send it to the Capital City as soon as possible.

Next, the remaining matter concerns the ten abbots. They need to create a fake one to fool all the Buddhists in the world first.

Xu Bai didn't stay in the room. He went back to his own room, took out the nine books he had obtained earlier, randomly picked one out, and started working on the progress bar.

As long as there are no unexpected events along the way, and things continue at this pace, this matter will be basically resolved, and Xu Bai won't have anything to do afterward. So he should focus on increasing his strength first.

At present, the most important thing is to increase strength, and this is a full nine-stage progress bar.

Vajra Temple is safe enough; he needs to finish all nine progress bars here before moving on to the next place to continue his adventures.

With that in mind, Xu Bai continued working hard.

While Xu Bai was working on the progress bar, in a dense forest not far from the Vajra Temple.

At that moment, several hundred bald men dressed in black were sitting among them.

Although they looked like monks, they were dressed in black and lacked the solemnity expected of monks; instead, they exuded a sinister aura.

Hundreds of men in black were bowing their heads and reading Buddhist scriptures. If someone who understood Buddhist scriptures were here, they would know that the scriptures they were reading were actually being read backwards.

Hundreds of people whispered at the same time; although their voices were very soft, when they came together, they created a buzzing sound.

Suddenly, one of the monks dressed in black stopped.

As soon as he stopped, one after another, the black-robed monks stopped as well. A moment later, all the hundreds of black-robed monks had stopped moving.

The black-robed monk who had been sitting cross-legged stood up, looked in the direction of the Vajra Temple, and said, "It is the Buddha's light. It is the Buddha's light that stimulated the supreme Saint Buddha Skeleton, accelerating the growth of flesh and blood."

"They discovered it, they must have discovered the secret, but their Buddha's light cannot destroy flesh and blood."

Upon hearing these two sentences, all the black-robed monks present showed expressions of astonishment. Then, their expressions gradually changed, becoming sinister.

A chilling, icy aura emanated from them, inspiring despair and fear.

Another monk in black robes stepped out from the crowd and asked the first monk in black robes, "Chief Buddha, what should we do?"

The black-robed monk named Chief Buddha heard these words and fell silent. After a moment, he came to his senses.

He paced back and forth slowly, as if pondering what to do.

Where he walked, the grass withered, as if it had lost its vitality.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Chief Buddha finally stopped.

"Everyone, we are the direct descendants of the supreme Saint Buddha. Today, the Saint Buddha has opened the beginning of resurrection, but it is being hindered by this group of people who are protected by the Saint Buddha. It is time for us to take action."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed monks all nodded in agreement.

The Chief Buddha continued, "We have only passed down this small portion of our knowledge over the generations, and it is certainly no match for them, but that doesn't mean we have no way out."

"They must have realized that the Buddha's light and seal are no match for the Saint Buddha, so they will definitely call for other experts. We must seize the opportunity of the time difference and Exiting Sainthood Buddha's remnant soul before the other experts arrive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed monks erupted in uproar, whispering amongst themselves.

"The divine soul of the Saint Buddha has long since vanished; is it truly possible to summon even a trace of it?"

"Even if they summoned a wisp of it, could they possibly deal with so many Buddhists?"

"Most importantly, how can we Exiting Sainthood Buddha?"

The whispers gradually grew louder.

The Chief Buddha heard this, frowned, and raised his hands to suppress the noise.

"The method left behind by the Saint Buddha will surely be able to summon his remnant soul. As for whether it can deal with them, you don't need to think too much about it, because even the abilities of Buddhists come from the Saint Buddha."

"And how to summon... requires your help."

The black-robed monks looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the words.

However, they didn't need to understand, because the next moment, the black-robed monks present suddenly clutched their chests, collapsed to the ground, and died.

Strands of black energy emerged from the black-robed monk's body, gathered in the palm of the Chief Buddha, and transformed into a black bead the size of a peanut.

"I'm sorry, everyone," the Chief Buddha said calmly. "As the direct descendant of the Saint Buddha, I can control your life and death. The most exquisite part of your souls is the key to reviving the remnant soul of the Saint Buddha."

After saying this, he put the bead on his person, and in a flash, he changed out of his black clothes and put on a white robe.

The chilling aura emanating from him vanished, replaced by a radiant aura.

After tidying himself up, the Chief Buddha walked towards the Vajra Temple.
