Have you made up your mind yet?
The old Living Buddha staggered to the edge of a cliff in the Esoteric Sect Ancestral Land, looking at the young Living Buddha standing on the cliff with a complex expression.
Although the other party did not speak, he knew this disciple's character well and knew he would inevitably make that decision.
However, if that were the case, the lineage of their Living Buddhas would be severed.
"The legacy of the Tathagata Divine Palm is indeed very powerful. Even a fragment is far beyond our imagination. However, mastering it is too difficult! Too difficult! Too difficult!"
The young Living Buddha said "too difficult" three times in a row, which shows how high the threshold for mastering the Tathagata Divine Palm is.
"We need a new and powerful inheritance, one that can enable those at the Celestial Realm or even the Shattering Realm. This is our only chance!"
His bright eyes gazed ahead at the three figures heading there, his expression resolute.
The old Living Buddha sighed, took a deep look at the resolute young Living Buddha, said nothing more, and slowly walked away, leaning on his cane.
It's all for the sake of the Esoteric Sect, so he couldn't say anything, he could only hope it would succeed!
Leaving aside the matter concerning the two generations of Living Buddhas, on the other side, Wang Hao was leaving with his fellow disciples, the young Long Ling.
After Tathagata Divine Palm technique to the old and young Living Buddhas, he took his leave.
Having already obtained almost all of the martial arts traditions of the nomadic tribes of the grasslands, there was nothing more for them to do staying, so they naturally couldn't linger any longer.
Of course, the Tathagata Divine Palm was a derivative work he created by combining the martial arts traditions and Buddhist foundations of the three major branches of Buddhist Order: Tianzhu Buddhist Order, Central Plains Buddhist Order, and Esoteric Sect. It also borrowed from Hong Kong comics in its setting and even added some elements of the Primordial Great World.
In terms of sheer prestige, it absolutely deserves to be called a technique of the Shattering Realm.
Since it's a high-level technique for the Shattering Realm, the entry requirements are naturally higher.
Everything else about this counterfeit martial art is easy to understand, but there is one thing that is most difficult, even demanding: the practitioner must reach the state of perfect goodness and benevolence.
To put it bluntly, this is a cultivation method perfected by sages.
But achieving perfect goodness and benevolence is incredibly difficult; at least, Wang Hao has never met anyone who could do so.
However, that's none of his business. On the contrary, he has already passed on the legacy of the Divine Palm of the Tathagata Divine Palm. Whether you can cultivate it or not is your business. From this point of view, you can't say that he's lying.
"What's wrong, Master?"
The little Long Ling Longling, sitting on the shoulders of the High Person Longxiang, asked curiously when he saw Wang Hao suddenly stop.
In contrast, the more experienced High Person Longxiang immediately put down his junior brother from his shoulder, cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and even took the huge vajra from his back and held it in his hand.
"What brings the Living Buddha here to offer his teachings?"
Wang Hao turned around and looked in the direction he had come from. There, a figure was rapidly approaching; it was the young Living Buddha.
" Amitabha Buddha! This humble monk wishes to request that the Guru leave behind all of his lineage!"
After chanting a Buddhist prayer, the young Buddhist Dao his purpose.
He didn't believe that this so-called Shengxiu only possessed those inheritances, so he must have other powerful inheritances under his command, at least powerful inheritances that could be cultivated to the Celestial Person Realm.
According to the intelligence he had obtained, anyone selected as Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult would inevitably be able to cultivate to the Celestial Person Realm or even the Shattering Realm.
He wouldn't believe it without a sufficiently powerful lineage of cultivation techniques to support it.
Although this person possesses the inheritance of the Tathagata Divine Palm, the conditions for cultivating the Tathagata Divine Palm are too harsh. This person does not seem to be a person of utmost kindness and benevolence. Therefore, the one he cultivates must be another powerful inheritance.
That was his goal!
This action was not only for his own ambition, but also for the sake of the entire Esoteric Sect and even the martial arts world of the grasslands.
The rise of the Central Plains martial arts world and even the entire Central Plains is unstoppable. Once the Central Plains truly becomes powerful, their grasslands will be in danger and will inevitably be annexed.
This kind of behavior often happens on the grasslands, so he knows it very well, not to mention that the grasslands and the Central Plains are sworn enemies!
Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, he must obtain the inheritance from this person, even if it means forcibly taking it!
"Brother Living Buddha, you've gone too far!"
The young Long Ling Longling, who was being protected behind the High Person Longxiang, stepped forward and looked at the young Living Buddha with dissatisfaction, his tone even carrying a hint of reprimand.
Although the Living Buddha holds a high position, he is of the same generation as him, so he can speak up and dissuade him.
This Shengxiu master was invited by him, so he couldn't just stand by and watch him be treated rudely.
High Person Longxiang stared intently at the Living Buddha, his muscles tense, ready to strike at any moment. He had clearly chosen to side with his junior brother.
Wang Hao was quite satisfied with this, nodding inwardly. He then turned his gaze to the young Living Buddha opposite him and said indifferently, "The Dharma is passed on to those with affinity. The Living Buddha is not one of those with affinity for Shengxiu!"
He does indeed possess many inherited skills, but he has no reason to give them to the other party, especially since the other party is of grassland origin.
"I didn't want to use this method, Master, why force me?"
With a sigh, a bright yellow light gradually appeared in the young Living Buddha's deep eyes, and his body radiated an extremely hot aura.
"Get out of here. The battle that follows is not for you!"
Wang Hao raised his hand to stop the young Shengxiu from saying anything more, and looked solemnly at the young Living Buddha.
The young Living Buddha himself was very powerful, and he gave the young man a strong sense of danger when they were exchanging ideas in the Esoteric Sect Ancestral Land.
Now, it is clear that some kind of secret technique to enhance strength has been used, and the combat power must be even stronger. The danger of the upcoming battle will probably not be less than the Eight Extremes Sword Formation jointly used by the eight Confucian School patriarchs last time.
Last time, he was able to strike at a single point and prevent them from unleashing the full power of their sword formation. But now, that young Living Buddha is a being who has gathered all the great power into one, making him almost flawless.
What follows is likely to be a tough battle!
"Master, be careful!"
High Person Longxiang nodded, then quickly retreated to the back of a hill a hundred feet away, holding the little Long Ling in his arms.
Compared to that, he still hoped that the Shengxiu master would win, not because he lacked national sentiment, but because today's events absolutely could not be revealed.
After all, who knows what kind of strength the hidden lineage of the Tianzhu Buddhist Order possesses, or whether there might be a super strong expert at the Celestial Person Realm?
Once the other side hears about their Esoteric Sect's attack on Shengxiu, they will definitely not let it go.
The Living Buddha clearly couldn't have been unaware of this, so once the other side won, they would inevitably silence them.
Therefore, to be honest, they had no choice but to pray that the Shengxiu Master would win, so that they would have a chance to survive.
"What's the trick to this move? It doesn't seem to be recorded in the inheritance you gave us!"
Seeing the Living Buddha's aura growing stronger and stronger, Wang Hao became curious.
In just a short while, the opponent's aura surged threefold; the amplification from this secret technique was terrifying.
" The Great Sun Soul-Burning Method is a secret art passed down through my lineage of Living Buddhas. Every generation of Living Buddhas, upon passing away, uses a secret method to condense their own Soul Power into relics and seal them into the body of the next generation of Living Buddhas."
This secret technique has three levels, obtained by comprehending the three aspects of the rising sun, the Scorching Yang, and the setting sun. Each level increases one's strength threefold. Once the third level, the setting sun, is mastered, one will be Invincible. This humble monk is confident that he will not be weaker than the legendary Celestial Person Realm experts."
Without any intention of hiding anything, the young Living Buddha openly and generously revealed the secret method he used.
Although he was in the wrong for what he did today, he was not a despicable person and would not mind revealing his trump card. Moreover, even if the other party knew, the outcome would not change in the slightest!
"I see!"
Wang Hao suddenly realized, then summoned the strange longsword that had been hovering behind him, and calmly explained, " The Great Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword Instruction, comprehended from a fragment of the Tathagata Divine Palm manual, possesses unparalleled power and Inazuma- fast speed. You are the first person to witness its sharpness!"
As he spoke, driven by the Seven Po Magnetic Field, the strange longsword slowly came out of its sheath.
This is a longsword unlike any other sword. It resembles a vajra, except that the sharpened part of the vajra is extended to form a cross-shaped blade, or simply put, a four-sided dagger.
This was the very weapon that Wang Hao had forged while stationed on Zhou Xueyi's island. It was a sword specially crafted to match the Shengxiu persona and was named the Great Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword, to complement the Great Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword Instruction.
As for the Great Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword Instruction, it was a skill he developed based on the Seven Po Magnetic Field, integrating various Buddhist Order martial arts and Buddhist teachings.
Originally, it was only a half-finished product, but after thoroughly comprehending all the martial arts traditions of the Esoteric Sect, the technique was finally completely perfected.

Looking at the progress of 9,000 points in the Seven Po Magnetic Field on the attribute panel, Wang Hao felt even more confident.
Compared to when I left the island last time, I have made progress in all aspects, but the biggest improvement has been in the Seven Po Magnetic Field.
He discovered that the Esoteric Sect Ancestral Land had conducted extremely in-depth research on the Supreme Yoga Tantra, and had developed many supporting secret methods for this purpose, almost pushing the Seven Po Magnetic Field to its extreme.
With the help of these foundations, Wang Hao also advanced his Nine Revolutions Po Condensing Instruction to the Great Completion stage, just a little short of perfection, reaching the limit of the Great Grandmaster realm.
The so-called Great Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword Instruction is a disguised application of the Nine Revolutions Po Condensing Instruction.
He has now fully developed the Seven Po Magnetic Field, and only needs to merge Seven Po Magnetic Field into one to sense the magnetic field of the entire world.
His Seven Po Magnetic Field initially had three magnetic field nodes, each capable of unleashing 10,000 jin of power. Each time a new Seven Po Magnetic Field was activated, it would triple in power compared to the original.
Currently, his Seven Po Magnetic Field number 2,187, each magnetic field node capable of unleashing 7.29 million jin of power, covering an area of 729 zhang in radius.
In other words, if he were currently using the Wuming disguise, he could simultaneously control 2,187 longswords, and each longsword could unleash a terrifying force of 7.29 million jin, while also being able to traverse within a range of 729 zhang.
With his current strength, if the nomadic tribes of the grasslands were to send another million troops, he would not have to fight as hard as he did before, and he would not have almost been defeated in a ditch.
However, since he is using the alias "Shengxiu" this time, he cannot use the same fighting style as the Wuming.
Unlike the Wuming One, who dispersed all the magnetic field nodes, his design for the Shengxiu disguise mode was to merge all the magnetic field nodes into one and apply it to a single object.
Although this merging weakens all magnetic field nodes, the more nodes merged, the greater the weakening.
However, after complete integration, it still achieved a tenfold increase.
In other words, when he merges all the magnetic field nodes into one and applies it to the same object, he can unleash a terrifying force of 72.9 million jin.
The only pity is that such terrifying power far exceeds his control limits, so he can only launch straight attacks, at most with a slight arc.
What's worse is that he can only unleash one attack, because after that, under such terrifying power, his personal sword will disappear from sight and cannot be recalled.
Even the Great Vajra Demon-Subduing Sword itself couldn't withstand such power; it would shatter after a single strike.
Of course, while it has many drawbacks, its power is quite formidable.
