Chapter 84: The Rival! Enlightenment Dust of the Buddhist Sect
Chapter 84: The Rival! Enlightenment Dust of the Buddhist Sect
"Finally, this round is over."
In the sky above, Su Nan dispelled the carefully maintained aura he had been sustaining and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Even now, as he looked down at Su Changqing, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"He was fine in Greenhill Village, so how did he change so much in just a few days?"
He frowned, puzzled. "Could it have something to do with what the second brother sent to Changqing?"
"What kind of fortune did Zi'an find?"
Su Nan was utterly baffled, unable to fathom the magnitude of Su Zi'an's efforts.
"What do you plan to do for the second round?"
Wu Jiuling looked down at Su Changqing with keen interest.
"What can we do? We'll just test his enlightenment as usual. Do you think Changqing can outshine all the prodigies?"
Su Nan waved his hand and said, "The Ten Thousand Dharmas Chart is a divine creation, but not everyone can comprehend it."
"For those who practice Buddhism, viewing the chart is like standing in the Buddha’s land; for those who practice dark magic, it’s like being in a hellish realm."
"To understand the dharmas, one must have the ‘cause’ to see the ‘effect.’”
"Changqing hasn’t started cultivating yet, so the ‘cause’ isn’t there. Even if the divine essence touches him, he might not understand much."
After a moment of contemplation, Su Nan hesitated and added, "But Changqing can comprehend divine techniques as a mortal. His enlightenment must be exceptional, so he might understand something else."
At this point, Su Nan was no longer entirely sure about Su Changqing.
Wu Jiuling nodded, his eyes filled with hope as he looked down at Su Changqing.
Enlightenment is crucial in the Wu Ancestor’s legacy, determining one’s ultimate potential.
...
On the platform, the elder of the Little Immortal Sect finished explaining the rules and waved his sleeve, causing a divine chart to descend, covering the sky.
The chart was enveloped in a mist of divine essence, with the aura of the cosmos and the clash of swords and blades flashing within, encompassing myriad dharmas.
"Find your own opponent, or the sect will randomly assign one."
"If you cheat during the duel, you will be disqualified from entering. The time limit is fifteen minutes!"
As the elder’s voice faded, the prodigies on the platform quickly moved into action.
They paired up, studied the Ten Thousand Dharmas Chart, and then engaged in real duels.
These prodigies had already made their judgments about their opponents.
Although everyone was on the same platform, they had already divided themselves into different groups during the climb up the Heavenly Path.
Ordinary prodigies found ordinary opponents, middling prodigies found middling opponents, and top prodigies found top prodigies.
After all, only duels between peers could truly showcase one’s abilities.
As for ordinary prodigies teaming up with top prodigies?
No one was that foolish; it would be asking for a beating.
Thus, despite the limited time, the tens of thousands of people quickly found their opponents.
However, Su Changqing found himself in an awkward position.
He had mistakenly entered the path of the top prodigies and arrived late on the Heavenly Path, placing him in the lower-middle tier among the tens of thousands of prodigies.
This meant that none of the top prodigies chose him as an opponent.
"Well, if I fought any of them, I’d probably lose badly."
"I’ll just wait for the sect to randomly assign an opponent. Hopefully, it won’t be too strong."
Su Changqing muttered to himself, a hint of nervousness in his expression.
Xuan Qingzi, standing beside him, couldn’t help but chuckle.
He had witnessed Su Changqing’s terrifying enlightenment, having learned the extremely difficult Dao seals in just two days.
How could he be weak at comprehending the Ten Thousand Dharmas Chart?
"Relax, just do your best," Xuan Qingzi said with a light laugh, trying to reassure him.
Su Changqing nodded and waited for the random assignment of an opponent.
At this moment, in the ordinary prodigy area, a monk with a serene face and wearing a monk's robe looked toward where Su Changqing was.
"The aura of the Eight Treasures Compass is on him, is it?"
Wuchen's eyes flickered as he murmured to himself, "It seems the Buddhist Order's intel was wrong. He didn't come to this ordinary prodigy platform but went to the top one."
Due to the Eight Treasures Compass, the Western Regions suffered heavy losses. How could the Buddhist Lord Kasyapa be content to let it go? After a thorough investigation, Kasyapa sent Wuchen and Mingxin, the leaders of the new generation of Ling Mountain, to the Little Immortal Sect to act at the right moment.
Originally, with their talents, they would have been among the top prodigies. However, to get closer to Su Changqing, they chose the ordinary prodigy path and inadvertently missed their chance.
"Brother, this is a good opportunity now," Mingxin came to Wuchen and whispered, "The Su family doesn't know how important the Eight Treasures Compass is to our Buddhist Order."
"We can use this battle to seize the Heavenly Buddha Body and send it back to the Western Regions using the spatial mark bestowed by the Buddhist Lord."
Wuchen pondered for a moment, glancing casually into the depths of the sky.
"Su Changqing's status in the Su family must be significant. We don't know if someone is watching from the shadows."
If a Domain Lord were observing, their meticulous plan would be a mere joke.
Mingxin smiled, "Relax, a Domain Lord wouldn't have the leisure to watch this boring sect entrance examination."
"Even if Su Changqing is exceptional, could he be the illegitimate child of someone important?"
As he spoke, his passionate eyes turned toward Su Changqing, "He's just a mundane with no cultivation, likely just an ordinary descendant of the Su family."
"During the one-on-one battles, this will be a rare opportunity!"
"Brother's insight has earned you the name 'Wuchen' from the Buddhist Lord. Subduing him will be a piece of cake."
"At that time, defeating Su Changqing with overwhelming force and retrieving the Heavenly Buddha Body will be a tremendous achievement for you, Brother!"
Those simple words ignited a fiery look in Wuchen's eyes.
"Junior Brother, wait for my good news."
With that, Wuchen left the ordinary prodigy area and headed straight for Su Changqing.
In no time, Wuchen approached Su Changqing with a gentle smile, bowed, and said, "Amitabha, this humble monk Wuchen has yet to find an opponent. May I team up with you, sir?"
Before Su Changqing could respond, Wuchen laughed openly, "My strength is not high, and I fear a random strong opponent. I observed you just now, hehe."
Though he didn't finish, his meaning was clear.
But because of this, Su Changqing's surprise turned to realization.
"Master, you came at just the right time. I was also in need of a suitable opponent."
Su Changqing smiled lightly, "I hope you will show mercy in the battle."
Wuchen's eyes flashed with a strange light, and his smile widened, "Rest assured, sir, I will only use the necessary force."
Hearing this, Su Changqing, who had been a bit tense, immediately relaxed.
However, Xuan Qingzi glanced at Wuchen.
Would a Buddhist monk be so kind as to seek Su Changqing as an opponent? That night at the Great Void Prohibited Abyss, Su Changqing was unconscious, but Xuan Qingzi had sensed the fall of many Western Regions' Buddhist Order auras.
This monk likely had ulterior motives.
With that thought, Xuan Qingzi secretly formed a hand seal and calculated the situation.
In an instant, the caution in his eyes dissipated, and he shook his head with a smile.
He had actually worried that Su Changqing might get into trouble in this test of insight.
The divination showed no surprises.
Great fortune.
