Chapter 304 Buddha Girl
Looking down upon the Northern Region, Su Yu also entered the Void, hoping to find the leading figures of the other four regions' geniuses. Those four were not within the Dao City's territory; they had all ventured deep into the Northern Region to explore its opportunities.
"Who do you think is the greatest genius of our time?"
"Is there even a question? It's definitely Wang Teng from Northern Plains. He's known as the reincarnation of an ancient emperor. He entered the Immortal Platform Secret Realm eight years ago and is called the Northern Emperor by the young talents of the five major domains. Almost no one dares to challenge him. Everyone avoids him when they see him. He is undoubtedly the number one genius in the world today."
In the far north, where the north wind howls and snow falls heavily, a few young cultivators discuss in a teahouse in an ice city. The tea smoke curls upwards as they admire the current prodigies of the Northern Region and debate who is the greatest prodigy in the world.
"The number one genius of our time should be Xiang Yufei Central Province. He killed King Physique with a single slap, and no one can fathom his true strength."
"That's not necessarily true. The Five Great Domains are so vast and boundless. Even Wang Teng and Xiang Yufei have their rivals. I've heard that the successor of the Demon Emperor Hall in the Southern Ridge has killed a Demon King at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven. Among the younger generation, no one can surpass him."
"A successor from Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert has been born, and that Western Bodhisattva is not to be underestimated. I've heard she..."
"I think you're just lusting after her body. Jue Youqing is nowhere near as good as the Central Emperor or the Northern Emperor!"
"I think the Southern Demon is the strongest."
These people argued, and no one could convince the other; they each had different opinions.
"There are too many prodigies among the younger generation today, making it difficult to predict who will be number one. The Yaoguang Holy Son in the Eastern Wasteland and the Divine Body of the Ji Family are also showing invincible potential and are striving to catch up."
"In just a few years, the number one expert will emerge. Don't you know that the Qishi Mansion can connect to the outer realms and will open an Starry Sky Ancient Road? Only the three strongest young people can go there."
"Alas, in the boundless Eastern Wasteland, there isn't a single Immortal Platform cultivator among the younger generation."
"It's a pity that Heavenly Master Cao fell from the Immortal Platform while saving the Jade Lake Saintess; otherwise, how could we allow the arrogant geniuses from other realms to run rampant!"
" Heavenly Master Cao's mastery of Source Arts is enough to annihilate Holy Lord, making him equivalent in rank to the Holy Lord of various major powers. Why should he be compared to the younger generation?"
A young man was also sitting in the teahouse, sipping his tea while listening attentively. He had a golden lotus flower between his eyebrows, which made him appear quite extraordinary.
Suddenly, a blizzard raged outside, and a handsome man walked through the snowstorm.
" Heavenly Master Cao! It's actually Heavenly Master Cao!"
Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, everyone in the teahouse erupted in excitement. They had just been talking about him, and now they were seeing him in person.
The young man also stood up and looked at the person who had come.
Su Yu gazed at the lotus Buddha mark between the young man's brows and chuckled, "I never expected to encounter a Buddhist nun in this far north!"
Realizing that the other party had seen through his identity, the young man removed his disguise, revealing his true appearance.
The woman was dressed in flawless white, her black hair like clouds, chanting Buddhist scriptures, ethereal and otherworldly. She possessed an aura that transcended the three realms, even the gods and Buddhas who smiled while holding up a flower were no more like her, as if she did not exist in this mortal world, both ethereal and vivid.
The golden lotus Buddha mark between her brows complemented her jade-like skin, shining brightly. She had a slender figure, her black hair like clouds, and possessed a refined and captivating beauty.
The woman in Su Yu smiled and said, " Amitabha Buddha, greetings to Heavenly Master Cao!"
Looking into Jue Youqing's eyes, Su Yu sighed, "There have long been rumors that a Buddhist nun has emerged in the Western Desert, destined to attain enlightenment and become a Bodhisattva. She is one of the few people in the history of the Western Desert who is close to Buddha and will achieve the Great Dao. Seeing her today, I can confirm that it is indeed true!"
The name " Jue Youqing) carries significant meaning in Western Desert Buddhism, and few have dared to use such a name throughout history.
It is another meaning of Bodhisattva, which includes self-awakening and awakening others. It refers to an enlightened person who takes it upon themselves to awaken others, and is Youqing with all sentient beings.
"You flatter me, Celestial Master!" Jue Youqing stood amidst the wisps of mist, his white robes billowing, his body as clear as seven-colored glass, emitting a Buddha-light, like a dream.
She didn't say anything more, maintaining a Buddhist-like, peaceful and serene demeanor, nodding and smiling at Su Yu without saying anything more.
"Our meeting is predestined; I wonder if the Buddhist nun would be willing to discuss the Dharma with me?"
Before the other party could reply, Su Yu stepped forward, and wisps of spatial divine runes flew out, carrying inexplicable Daoist charm, directly carrying Jue Youqing across the Ice City.
"Discussing the Dao? Forcing a Bodhisattva to discuss the Dao?"
The people in the teahouse were stunned and instantly lost in confusion. Some of the cultivators with lower cultivation levels spoke up, "Didn't they say that Heavenly Master Cao fell into the Immortal Platform Secret Realm? Jue Youqing is Immortal Platform cultivator!"
"Even the ancient families of the Holy City, skilled in Source Arts, can annihilate powerful enemies with Source Arts, let alone Heavenly Master Cao. Heavenly Master Cao will surely win this battle and show the prowess of the geniuses of the Eastern Wasteland to the prodigies from the Foreign Realm!"
Many cultivators' eyes gleamed with excitement as they mounted their Divine Rainbow and flew towards the outside of the city, not wanting to miss this Dao discussion.
Beyond the ice city lies a vast expanse of white. Looking into the distance, one can see towering mountains, far apart, disappearing into the clouds and perpetually covered in ice and snow.
At this moment, snow and ice filled the sky, and fragments of jade and precious stones fluttered down. Divine ice flew in, drawing shimmering light across the sky. It was the legendary Zhen Ice, said to possess mysterious power and be used as a material for refining weapons.
Legend has it that in ancient times, an immortal descended to earth and attained enlightenment in the Northern Region, causing the iceberg to be imbued with the light of the Great Dao, which has remained undiminished even after millions of years.
In the Void, Jue Youqing frowned, not daring to make a move. She did not cultivate the Space Great Dao, and if she made a rash move, she might fall into the spatial turbulence.
Finally, the two reached the summit of an iceberg.
What brings you here, benefactor?
Looking at Su Yu beside her, the female bodhisattva spoke. Dressed in white, she was like a goddess, and her voice was magnetic, like a bodhisattva walking in the Human World.
"I came for you! The golden age, where kings vie for the path to the throne, begins here!" Su Yu smiled slightly. This place was quiet and deserted, perfect for discussing the Dao.
" Amitabha Buddha, then I must offend you!" Jue Youqing offered up a translucent and radiant lotus platform, sat on it, and uttered a Buddhist verse.
Even with her Buddhist mindset, she felt somewhat dissatisfied being forcibly brought here by Su Yu to discuss the Dao.
She chanted scriptures, and instantly, heavenly sounds resounded. The howling wind and snow of the Nine Heavens turned silent, and golden divine characters appeared between heaven and earth. Buddhist light flowed on the lotus platform and fell on the lotus wall, peaceful and compassionate.
This is a great supernatural power in the Buddhist Sect, capable of reaching directly into people's hearts and suppressing enemies.
Facing the Buddhist nun who was at the third minor realm of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, Su Yu did not take it lightly. He waved his wide sleeves and unleashed a beam of purple-gold light, shattering the countless Buddhist inscriptions in one strike. Then, he summoned the Blood Jade Divine Mirror to completely seal off this place.
Thus, Jue Youqing was unable to use either divine thought transmission or the jade talisman technique. With everything in place, Su Yu revealed his true form.
As jade fragments fell, a handsome young man dressed in a purple-gold Daoist robe stood in the snowy region. He had a Chaos Bell mark between his brows, and his black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, giving him an air of timelessness and Wu Shi.
Upon first seeing Cao Yusheng's true form, Jue Youqing frowned deeply, and the Blood Jade Saint Mirror radiating light in the sky made her uneasy, vaguely sensing Su Yu's intentions.
"Does the Celestial Master intend to intimidate people with the power of his Saint Weapon?"
Seeing the Buddhist nun fall silent, Su Yu shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I don't want others to know my true identity, which is why I did this. Don't worry, I won't use Saint Weapon!"
Chapter 305 Divine Medicine and Extraordinary Phenomena [Bonus Chapter for the First Hall Master of this Book, Mo Bai]
Seeing that Su Yu's words were sincere, Jue Youqing somewhat relieved, but she did not show it.
The white-robed Buddhist nun's beautiful eyes shone with divine light as she gazed at Su Yu and said softly, "The Celestial Master has revealed his true form and sealed off this place. Does he intend to carry out an act of annihilation?"
"You'll find out soon enough!" Su Yu flicked his finger, summoning a divine sword.
The sword is three feet and three inches long, its blade is crystal clear, flowing with a soft divine radiance, and wrapped with nine strands of Black and Yellow Qi. It is an extraordinary celestial weapon forged from the Nine Heavens White Jade Disc and Black and Yellow Qi.
Despite his Dragon Transformation Nine Changes form, Su Yu did not underestimate the genius of Immortal Platform. With a wave of his hand, he activated the dragon energy of the earth's veins.
With the blessing of the snowy dragon energy, his divine power was comparable to that of a cultivator at the Immortal Platform.
Jue Youqing, dressed in white like snow, with hair as beautiful as clouds, and a serene expression, looked like a Bodhisattva. She gazed at the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Jade Sword in Su Yu's hand and took out a small twig from her cloud-like sleeve.
This is a Bodhi Tree, resembling a small dragon holding a leaf in its mouth. Its vigorous form is adorned with vitality, and a misty, colorful fog flows around it. With each wave of its hand, the Void trembles.
Looking at the familiar Bodhi tree branches and leaves, Su Yu said thoughtfully, "It seems you have quite the luck, actually managing to obtain a branch from the Ancient Bodhi Tree."
It is known throughout the five regions that there is an ancient Bodhi tree in the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Sumeru. It is a tree stump left by the immortal Bodhi tree, and like the divine peach tree in the Jade Pool Holy Land, it is extraordinary.
Jue Youqing was able to obtain a Bodhi Tree, indicating that she held an extremely high position in the Western Desert. There was a high probability that a Great Accomplishment King or even an ancient sage stood behind her.
The white-robed Buddhist nun held a green Bodhi branch in her right hand, saying nothing as she awaited Su Yu's move. In her left hand, she held a golden jade pendant, intending to send this information back to the Western Desert.
However, under the seal of the Blood Jade Saint Weapon, even the jade talisman given to her by the Half-Saint lost its effect and could not transmit sound.
Looking at the solemn and dignified Jue Youqing, Su Yu's gaze turned slightly cold. His true identity could not be revealed, and it seemed that he was about to commit plunder again.
"Buzz!"
Su Yu unleashed his extraordinary power, and in an instant, a Immortal King broke through the boundary and emerged, surrounded by Wuliang light. The moment the Immortal King's phantom appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, making one feel as if they were about to ascend to immortality.
As his divine thought moved, the image of the Immortal King merged with himself, and he was like the Immortal King reborn. He rushed forward, sword in hand, and attacked Jue Youqing.
This was a Immortal King phenomenon he created using the Humanoid Immortal Medicine; its power was boundless and far more than just Immortal King Descends Upon Nine Heavens.
A wisp of mist rose from the tip of the Xuanhuang Jade Sword, primordial and hazy, containing an extraordinary Daoist charm—the power of the Dao of Time.
Jue Youqing, dressed in white, Jue Youqing nose caught a whiff of the Divine Medicine's fragrance, and a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face. This fragrance was even more intense than the Bodhi Seed that grew from the Ancient Bodhi Tree.
As the sword light approached, it stirred the Buddhist nun's hair. Jue Youqing held a Bodhi branch, her face full of compassion, radiating Buddhist light. She chanted another ancient scripture, the Demon-Subduing Mantra. Her voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
In an instant, a burst of Buddhist light appeared, and a woman in white sat serenely on a lotus platform. Behind her lay a scene of a Buddhist kingdom, with a majestic Buddhist temple pressing down upon Su Yu.
Su Yu merged with the Void and unleashed a sword strike. The sword light flowed with an aura of vicissitudes, carrying a sense of Return to Source, colliding with the boundless Buddhist temple.
In the blink of an eye, everything changed. The illusory image of the Buddhist temple shattered, and the crystal-clear lotus platform was knocked down by Su Yu. Jue Youqing was forced back, and the Buddhist Sect light and shadow behind her collapsed and dimmed. Her Buddhist Sect powers were restrained by the divine arts of the " Wushi Scripture," and she was no match for him at all.
"This divine technique... it's actually the power of time." Seeing her black hair turn white after being hit by the sword light, Jue Youqing deeply apprehensive.
She cut off her white hair, then recalled the lotus platform that had flown out, sat on it, and began to chant another great Buddhist Sect supernatural power— the Wuliang Wangsheng Mantra!
Amidst boundless Buddhist light, she appeared as if a Bodhisattva had been born, dressed in snow-white robes. A golden lotus mark between her brows emitted auspicious rays, harmonizing with the Wangsheng Mantra and amplifying the Buddhist chant.
The vast Buddhist chants transformed into waves of light, spreading outwards. Within them lay the profound truths that transcended the mundane world. This was a divine art created by the True Buddha of the Western Desert, possessing the power to suppress ghosts and gods.
It was because he had mastered this technique that Jue Youqing was allowed to descend Mount Sumeru to gain experience and spread the Buddha's name.
Boundless golden light transformed into a colossal golden Buddha, Shrouding the Heavens. The Buddha swung its palm down heavily towards Su Yu, the movement accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
This is a Buddhist Sect technique for fighting Buddhas, using the power of heaven and earth to transform into a golden phantom. A single palm strike is enough to annihilate a cultivator at the Immortal Platform level; it is terrifying beyond measure.
Su Yu turned around, and the shape of True Dragon appeared behind him, making Jue Youqing's gaze even more intense; it was yet another extraordinary power.
Boundless dragon energy roared out, and the divine sword forged from the Nine Heavens White Jade Disc transformed into the Imperial Dragon Sword, its entire body golden. Nine strands of Black and Yellow Qi condensed into a Xuanhuang Qi, which transformed into the Imperial True Dragon, as if it had become a real living being. It broke free from the jade sword and, facing the golden Buddha's palm strike, the Xuanhuang dragon swung its tail, directly shattering the golden Buddha's hand.
Then the True Dragon roared, letting out a cry that resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and pounced towards the golden Buddha.
Jue Youqing clasped his hands together, offered up Bodhi Tree, which immediately released endless Life essence, and wisps of celestial light emanated from between his brows.
" Thousand-Handed Divine Buddha!"
The white-robed Buddhist maiden spoke, her voice serene and slightly magnetic, very pleasant to hear, and she appeared very peaceful. However, the golden Buddha exuded murderous intent, transforming into a thousand-armed form and striking towards the Xuanhuang Dragon.
At this moment, the Buddha's light and the dragon's energy resonated together, transforming the boundless wind and snow into a seven-colored rainbow, dazzling and magnificent.
Bathed in the rainbow's glow, Su Yu seemed to be enveloped in divine light, his dark hair gleaming with a crystalline sheen. He took a step forward, stepping onto the body of True Dragon, and then unleashed the forbidden technique of the " Taihuang Scripture," a legendary supreme killing technique comparable to the Battle Saint Method.
"Boom!"
The heavens and earth trembled, golden blood energy engulfed the sky, and Su Yu activated the vast blood energy of his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, his battle power surging like a mighty river, terrifying the mind.
Imperial aura dragons surged forth, swirling in the Void, circling the Xuanhuang dragon, and continuously shattering the golden Buddha's divine hand.
