Chapter 70: The Bodhi Divine Metal, a Lifelong Dao Artifact!
"Su Nan!"
Seeing Su Nan's indifference, Kasyapa could no longer contain his urgent and furious roar.
"Do you intend to wage an eternal war against my Buddhist sect?"
"Let Fan Yin go, and you can make any demands!"
Kasyapa could sense that in that instant, Fan Yin's Longevity Spirit Token had suddenly dimmed to the extreme.
It was a sign of severe injury and impending death, which made him extremely anxious.
Cultivating a Near-Emperor required an endless amount of resources.
Moreover, with the path to Emperorhood about to open and the suppression of heaven and earth dissipating, the Dark Forbidden Zones were stirring, and the Demon Race was eyeing everything greedily. This was a time when skilled experts were sorely needed.
Losing a Near-Emperor at this critical moment would be a significant blow.
"An eternal war against your Buddhist sect?"
Su Nan was so amused that he laughed out loud. "A Domain Lord, a Near-Emperor, and dozens of great powers, all forcefully invading my Southern Domain."
"After blocking me, they even resorted to bullying the young, targeting my Su family descendants?"
"Now you say it's me who's picking a fight with your Buddhist sect?"
Su Nan shook his head, speechless. "The Taoists often say the Buddhist sect is shameless. Today, I've seen it for myself."
"Further talk is useless."
Kasyapa took a deep breath and said with an icy tone, "State your conditions!"
"Conditions?"
Su Nan smiled, revealing a chilling grin.
If it were just a minor issue, he might have used this opportunity to extort some compensation and be done with it.
But the Buddhist sect had actually dared to target his two sons, which enraged him!
The Buddhist sect might be wealthy, but they couldn't buy Fan Yin's life from Su Nan!
"Exchange your head for Fan Yin's life. Are you willing?"
Su Nan's mocking smile hid an unyielding coldness in his eyes.
"You—"
Seeing Su Nan's determination, Fan Yin grew desperate.
But before he could say anything more, his expression suddenly changed, darkening sharply.
The peak Near-Emperor's furious aura shook the heavens, and a massive golden Buddha with boundless rage appeared behind him.
Su Nan swung his Great Azure Spear, causing the void to crack. He narrowed his eyes and looked at his opponent.
"Very well, very well indeed."
Kasyapa took a deep breath.
He looked at Su Nan, his calm voice hiding a chilling threat.
"Domain Lord Su, a great era is coming. We'll see what happens."
With that, Kasyapa, filled with anger, was about to leave.
But at that moment, the void in front of him collapsed, and a massive spear emitting a terrifying aura blocked his path.
"Leaving so soon?"
The voice rang out, and Kasyapa, barely suppressing his killing intent, slowly turned to look at Su Nan, who wore a half-smile.
"This time, my Western Region lost a Near-Emperor, a Great Sage, and dozens of powerful experts. What more do you want?"
Su Nan sneered. "What does that have to do with me? Did I invite them to come?"
He looked at Kasyapa and said coldly, "I don't know if they live or die, but your Buddhist sect invaded my Southern Domain without cause, destroying thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and injuring my Su family descendants."
"This unprovoked disaster must be addressed."
Zhao Shanke, standing nearby, twitched the corners of his mouth and gave Kasyapa a strange look.
Why did you provoke this man? He can stir up trouble even when he's in the wrong. Now that he's in the right, it's no surprise he's not letting the Buddhist sect off lightly.
"Compensation?"
Kasyapa looked at Su Nan, disbelief written on his face.
After suffering such heavy losses, they were still being asked for compensation?
"Who else should pay if not you?"
Su Nan raised an eyebrow, his expression turning stern. "If you don't compensate, I can also bring dozens of great powers to visit your Holy Mountain one day."
"I'll see if there are any new generation of Buddhist disciples who catch my eye, and I'll kill a few to offer to the heavens. See if you can kill all the people I bring."
"Then we'll be even."
With that, Su Nan called to Wu Jiuling, who was drinking and watching from a distance, and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Geshe’s veins bulged on his forehead as he immediately halted Su Nan.
Su Nan could fend him off, but he couldn’t stop Su Nan from entering the Western Regions. If Su Nan really brought a group of the Su family’s powerful cultivators to slaughter the young generation of Spirit Mountain, the loss would be even greater.
Geshe had no doubt that Su Nan would follow through with his threat. The man always kept his word.
There was nothing he could do. Even if he had to swallow his pride and the bitter taste of defeat, he had to.
"How will you compensate us!" Geshe gritted his teeth.
Su Nan grinned at the question. "I’ve heard that a recent discovery of a Buddha’s tomb in the Western Regions has brought significant gains to Spirit Mountain, hasn’t it?"
"I don’t want much, just three pieces of ‘Bodhi Divine Gold.’”
At these words, Zhao Shanke and Geshe both paled slightly.
What a voracious appetite!
Bodhi Divine Gold was an extraordinary and rare metal of the Emperor level, used to forge the supreme weapons of the Buddhist sects, possessing immense power.
Such a material couldn’t be measured by value, as no one would ever trade it.
Even a small piece, the size of a fingernail, was worth a fortune.
Su Nan’s desire for this material was straightforward.
Changqing was about to embark on his cultivation journey. Once his foundation was established, he would open his Life Palace to nurture his innate Dao weapon.
An innate Dao weapon would accompany a cultivator for life, and the quality of the rare materials used to nurture it was crucial.
If the quality of the rare material was too low, enhancing its grade in the future would be extremely difficult.
However, if an Emperor-level rare material was used from the beginning, the resulting weapon would be incredibly powerful, making the path much smoother.
Su Nan had been keeping an eye on this for a long time, but the world’s supply of divine gold was scarce. Even as a domain lord, he had searched for a long time without finding a satisfactory piece.
But now, with Geshe practically handing himself over, Su Nan saw an opportunity to take advantage.
The Buddhist sect’s reserves were far deeper than the Su family’s.
"Impossible!"
Geshe refused without hesitation, his voice filled with anger. "Not only do we not have it, but even if we did, I wouldn’t give it to you."
Before he could finish, Su Nan turned and walked away.
"Wait!"
Geshe’s face turned red with fury. "Three pieces are too much. An inch, I can only give you an inch."
Before he could finish again, Su Nan turned and took another step.
Zhao Shanke’s eyes twitched at the scene. Su Nan was really pushing the Buddhist sect to the brink.
"Stop right there!"
Geshe couldn’t hold back any longer and roared, his expression twisted as he threw out a piece of Bodhi Divine Gold, the size of a finger.
The divine gold was pure and radiant, and the moment it appeared, a serene and harmonious aura spread throughout the heavens and earth.
Though small, it seemed to have faint Zen symbols on it, radiating a powerful Buddhist intent that dispelled illusions and brought great enlightenment.
"Bodhi Divine Gold!"
Zhao Shanke’s eyes lit up at the sight, and he instinctively took a step forward.
Despite its size, this piece could easily be transformed and would be enough to forge a small divine weapon.
But before he could examine it further, Su Nan snatched the divine gold and held it in his hand, a delighted smile on his face.
Of course, he knew that three pieces were impossible. Getting this one piece was already more than he had expected.
If Geshe had been more resolute, even an inch would have been acceptable.
"Su Nan, I will remember this day!"
Geshe’s voice was filled with bitter and cold anger as he turned and left.
The Buddhist sect had lost both their resources and their pride, suffering a heavy blow.
He would not let this go!
"Little Immortal Sect"
Geshe muttered to himself, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, before disappearing at the southern border.
Su Nan, however, paid no attention to Geshe’s threats. Instead, he examined the Bodhi Divine Gold in his hand, frowning slightly.
"It’s still a bit too small, just enough to nurture a small innate Dao weapon."
"Dagger? Short sword? Hmm, this size seems more suitable for a brush pen."
"Bodhi Command Brush? That might work."
