Chapter 86: New Technique! Overwhelming! Wu Chen's Shock

"What’s going on here?"

Wu Jiuling, utterly bewildered, spoke up, "Even if one uses a top-tier Heaven Rank secret technique, it wouldn’t summon more than a few hundred feet of Dao aura."

"Even a Heaven Earth Technique would only summon a thousand feet of Dao aura, which is more than enough to use in the Ten Thousand Techniques Space."

"But this... it's causing the entire Ten Thousand Techniques Diagram to go into turmoil. What kind of Dao technique could this be?"

Wu Jiuling turned to Su Nan, his tone sharp and annoyed, "Is this the son you said hasn’t learned any techniques?"

He was increasingly convinced that Su Nan was unreliable.

Ever since Su Changqing appeared, nothing Su Nan said had been accurate.

"I... he..." Su Nan was speechless.

He was just as confused as Wu Jiuling.

In his memory, Changqing had always been a simple villager.

"I was only gone for a few days..."

Su Nan looked in the direction of Green Mountain Village, muttering to himself, "What exactly have you been teaching Changqing?"

...

The turmoil in the Ten Thousand Techniques Diagram also stunned Miao Ba and the white-bearded elder, who had been closely monitoring the situation.

"Is that kid trying to use an Emperor Technique in the Ten Thousand Techniques Space?"

"For a simple entry test, you’re pulling out a technique of this level?"

Miao Ba’s lips twitched. This was taking things way too seriously with that little monk.

While all the top prodigies who came to the Small Immortal Sect were exceptional, none of them were this monstrous.

Without hesitation, Miao Ba personally intervened, suppressing the chaotic Dao aura.

If this continued, he wasn’t sure if the Ten Thousand Techniques Diagram could withstand Su Changqing’s experiment, but he knew it would affect everyone else inside.

Sure enough, as the Ten Thousand Techniques Diagram calmed down, the other prodigies, who had been frowning with their eyes closed, gradually relaxed.

In the Ten Thousand Techniques Space, Su Changqing’s brow glowed with a golden light, and a regal aura enveloped the heavens and earth. A golden giant sword’s tip slowly materialized from the golden pattern on his brow.

A torrential sword intent erupted, and a majestic golden light covered the world. But just as the sword tip appeared, it dissipated with the wind.

"Hmm?"

Su Changqing was taken aback, looking around, "Is this world unable to bear it?"

He shook his head regretfully, sighing to himself, "A minor sect is still a minor sect. Even the legacy my second brother casually gave isn’t something this sect can handle."

"But it’s still good. The four arts of immortality, the divine foot technique, and Second Ox’s sword techniques are still useful in this minor sect."

With these thoughts, Su Changqing dispelled the imperial pattern on his brow and began to meditate.

Scholarly, Buddhist, and sword energies flowed continuously from his body.

...

Time slowly passed, and before they knew it, a day had gone by.

"Time’s up! Wake up!"

A deep voice boomed, jolting the prodigies out of their immersion in the Ten Thousand Techniques Space.

They slowly opened their eyes, seeing a gray, hazy world with no one around except their opponent.

"The Ten Thousand Techniques Space will balance your strengths, putting you on the same level."

"Your task is to defeat the enemy in front of you using the techniques you have newly mastered."

"Techniques learned within the Ten Thousand Techniques Diagram contain special Dao auras. Those who attempt to cheat using their own techniques will never be allowed to join the sect."

"Now, begin!"

The voice, after briefly explaining the rules, disappeared.

At this moment, Su Changqing looked at Wu Chen, who was standing a short distance away, his expression serious.

"Master, please."

Su Changqing was nervous.

Apart from the bandits he had recently encountered, he had never fought anyone, let alone engaged in a magical duel.

He had no experience at all.

The only good news was that his opponent came from the ordinary area and was likely far weaker than the other prodigies.

He still had a fighting chance.

"Haha, what a good place."

Wu Chen looked around and smiled when he realized they were the only two present.

In this environment, he had an eighty percent chance of succeeding!

"Such a precious Heavenly Buddha Body, simply hidden in your clothes?"

Wu Chen focused on Su Changqing’s chest, where a pure Buddhist aura emanated.

"Master?"

Seeing Wu Chen staring at him intently, Su Changqing asked, puzzled.

"It’s a pity we can’t kill. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be alive."

Wu Chen’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at Su Changqing.

Many powerful figures from Spirit Mountain, even a Near-Emperor, had died because of this person.

If the timing were right, he would have killed him.

"Kill?"

Seeing Wu Chen, who had been gentle moments ago, now with a cold, icy expression, Su Changqing’s eyes narrowed, "Do we have a grudge?"

At this point, Su Changqing realized that Wu Chen’s intention wasn’t as simple as finding a weak opponent.

Setting Context: Appears to be a Chinese-inspired fantasy setting, possibly related to Buddhist and Daoist themes.

But he couldn't figure out why he would have offended a monk, having lived in Greenhill Village all his life.

"An enemy?"

Wuchen stepped forward, a look of disdain on his face. "You aren't even worthy."

He was tired of talking and planned to suppress Su Changqing directly, bringing the Heavenly Buddha Body back to the Western Regions.

"You're underestimating me."

Su Changqing's expression turned serious as he waved his hand, and a sharp sword formed by Dao Harmony appeared in his hand.

The Ten Thousand Laws Map would balance their powers, so even though Su Changqing was just a mortal, he could still summon formidable strength.

"A mere mortal thinks he can resist?"

"You have no idea who you're facing."

Wuchen sneered, and a Buddhist seal formed at his fingertips, followed by a massive Buddha palm condensing in the sky.

"Fall!"

Boom!

The seal transformed, and the giant Buddha palm descended from the sky, smashing down in front of Su Changqing.

Dao Harmony spread, completely enveloping Su Changqing.

"Pathetic."

Wuchen sneered, but before he could finish his sentence, a bright sword cry rose from the dark Dao Harmony, and the Buddha palm was severed.

Wuchen's eyes narrowed as he focused.

Streams of light, like ribbons, circled around Su Changqing, and he stepped forward calmly.

"Who am I facing?"

"Are you that strong?"

Su Changqing looked at Wuchen and said calmly, "We're both ordinary disciples, so don't talk big."

Wuchen laughed in anger. "Ordinary disciple? Arrogant!"

As the current chief disciple of Spirit Mountain, when had he ever been looked down upon?

"Buddha Descends!"

Wuchen's body was bathed in intense Buddhist light, and a hundred-foot-tall Buddha appeared behind him, seated cross-legged.

"Kill!"

With a fierce cry, Wuchen formed a seal with his fingers and charged at Su Changqing.

The hundred-foot-tall Buddha behind him moved in sync, and a massive, glowing fist descended like the sky collapsing.

"Stream Formation!"

Su Changqing lightly shouted, and the streams of light around him formed a grid in the sky, covering a hundred-foot area.

"Fall!"

Boom!

The grid made of sword streams descended from the sky, trapping Wuchen firmly.

On the grid, nine vertical and ten horizontal lines, totaling 361 intersections, suddenly burst with overwhelming sword intent.

"Heavenly Origin!"

Su Changqing's sword struck the Heavenly Origin point on the grid, and the grid's light intensified.

The 361 intersections erupted with overwhelming sword intent, converging into a single force, like a tidal wave, and struck Wuchen directly.

"Spit!"

Combining the power of 'Chess Realm·Immortal Finger' and the ferocity of the Surging Wave Sword Technique, this technique, both an array and a sword, shattered the hundred-foot-tall Buddha behind Wuchen, causing him to spit blood and fly backward.

"How is this possible!"

Wuchen, trapped in the center of the stream-formed grid, looked around in disbelief at the overwhelming sword intent.

Such a powerful and mysterious technique, created by a mortal in just one day?

He had also created several powerful secret techniques in the Ten Thousand Laws Space.

But now, he didn't even have a chance to use them, defeated by the other side with overwhelming force, unable to fight back.

His secret techniques were many, but this mysterious sword technique was far beyond what he had created.

"Still want to fight?"

Su Changqing pointed his sword at Wuchen and asked calmly.

Wuchen's expression changed, and after a moment, he clasped his hands in a bitter smile. "Sir, you are truly talented. This monk is convinced."

Su Changqing waved his hand, dispelling the large sword grid.

But at that moment!

Wuchen, who had been docile, suddenly showed a cold glint in his eyes.

He stomped his foot heavily, and intense Buddhist light gathered in his hands, forming a heavy Vajra Pestle.

In an instant, Wuchen was in front of Su Changqing, raising the Pestle high, the Buddhist light surging, and he roared,

"Die!"

The Pestle, accompanied by a fierce wind, radiated endless Buddhist light, descending directly onto Su Changqing's head.

Wuchen's face lit up with joy.

But at that moment, Su Changqing lifted his eyes calmly, showing no surprise.

He formed a Buddhist seal with his fingers, holding it in front of his chest, and softly chanted,

"Lotus Bloom."

Boom!

As the Pestle descended, Su Changqing's body also radiated brilliant Buddhist light.

A sacred white lotus appeared above his head, blossoming and emitting ethereal light, protecting him within.

The Pestle struck the lotus, causing a massive explosion, but it couldn't even make it waver.

Su Changqing looked at the shocked and dazed Wuchen and smiled lightly.

"By coincidence, I also know Buddhism."
