Pei Tu Gou
Chapter 698 Emperor Amitabha! (Second Update)
Qi Cang's pupils shrank. Even with foresight, his heart was still shaken.
Having truly witnessed and experienced the supreme coercion of Emperor Yuan Yang, he still couldn't muster any intention to challenge him.
Feng Xinglie was indeed stronger than him, but he had not yet been crowned king. Even if he was close at hand, the gap was still huge.
Not to mention after thousands of years of cultivation, even Emperor Yuan Yang from a thousand years ago was beyond his reach at this time.
Cross-level challenges might occur in anyone, but they could never happen to Emperor Yuan Yang.
Because he would be the only uncrowned supreme being in history who had the power to attain the Dao without actually attaining it!
Qi Cang's heart was shaken, but it soon turned into a sigh.
Why bother knowing that it couldn't be done?
If it were him, even if he had been crowned king, he would never touch Yuan Yang's sharp edge. The great era would eventually come, so why rush for a moment?
"What a 'dare to be the first under heaven'..."
Sun En put down his wine glass and looked at Feng Xinglie with a strange look, but also with respect.
Being in the current world, at the current realm, he understood the power of his teacher a thousand years ago. A slight difference was a world of difference.
He understood this, and he believed that Feng Xinglie, who had gone further on the road to becoming a marquis than he had, would also understand.
But precisely because he understood, precisely because he knew, he felt touched.
"Alas, Brother Feng..."
Sun En sighed, "You are only a step away from being crowned king and will eventually cross it. There is no need to put so much pressure on yourself."
He could see that Feng Xinglie was at a critical node of transformation, and perhaps a breakthrough was not far away. He couldn't understand why he was doing this at this time.
"Anything, someone has to do it eventually. Rather than waiting for others to do it, it's better to do it yourself!"
Feng Xinglie's expression calmed down, but his heart was surging:
"A thousand years ago, Yuan Yang was crowned king, and the world worshiped him. I once thought of going, but when I saw Mount Da Shi from afar, I retreated.
In my life, I have only retreated once. Perhaps, it is because of this retreat that I have been unable to take another step forward for hundreds of years...
This time, I will not retreat, whether I lose or die."
The restaurant was noisy, but the three of them were surrounded by emptiness, as if they were in two completely different dimensional worlds.
Feng Xinglie was rarely calm. He knew very well what he was going to do.
Just as he knew very well what he was lacking for a breakthrough.
"Then why did Brother Feng invite me here?"
Sun En shook his head, knowing that he could no longer persuade him. Once a person like him made up his mind, it was difficult to turn back.
"I know that I don't have much chance of winning this trip, so how could I drag others down? Not to mention, Feng Xinglie has never had the habit of joining forces with others to fight enemies in his life!"
Feng Xinglie saw through Sun En's thoughts and didn't care. He spoke frankly, "Brother Sun, don't worry. I'm not asking you to help."
"Oh?"
Sun En was noncommittal, "Then what does Brother Feng want?"
"In today's world, besides Yuan Yang, the only ones who catch my eye are Empress Chu Mengyao of Zhongzhou, the Buddha 'Di Mituo' of the Endless Desert Sea, the Third Prince of the North Sea 'Long Aotian', and Brother Sun, four of you."
Feng Xinglie raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes clear and without impurities:
"I will pave the way for you, test Yuan Yang, and let you see how high the highest in the world is!"
"Us?"
Sun En's heart stirred slightly, but he already understood that Feng Xinglie had invited more than just himself.
Feng Xinglie looked out the window, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the sea of clouds and see the distant scenery: "Perhaps the other Daoists are already on their way."
"Brother Feng's boldness is amazing, and I admire him very much."
Sun En said, pouring himself a glass of wine, gently rotating it, and raising his eyebrows, "Does Brother Feng know where I, Sun, come from?"
"Hmm?"
Feng Xinglie raised his eyebrows slightly, "I haven't asked yet."
Hundreds of years ago, he met Qi Cang on the road. Lei Dao struck out and swept across thousands of miles, killing him until he was covered in sweat and fled in embarrassment, eventually encountering Sun En.
Although this Sun En was not as good as him at this time, the 'Huang Tian Great Method' had already shown its promise.
He was also curious about who his teacher was.
Hoo~
Sun En drank all the wine, then stood up and bowed to the east:
"My teacher, Yuan Yang!"
"..."
Feng Xinglie's body trembled slightly, and a ripple rippled in the wine glass.
His expression changed for the first time since he appeared:
"You are Yuan Yang's disciple?!"
.......
Feng Xinglie's figure was no longer on the long street, and Sun En retracted his gaze.
The two ultimately did not clash.
First, the two had no grievances. Second, Sun En didn't think Feng Xinglie could threaten his teacher.
Since he wanted to die, he could only let him go.
Millions of people died every day in this world. It didn't seem like a big deal to die one more Feng Xinglie?
"Feng Xinglie is arrogant and unruly. This time, he is going to fall..."
Qi Cang sighed for some reason.
He thought he would be happy to see Feng Xinglie's miserable end, but he wasn't. He even had a hint of admiration and regret.
People like Feng Xinglie had a childlike heart, to put it nicely, but they were reckless and unbridled, to put it bluntly.
But in today's world, it was difficult to see such a pure person.
After a thousand years of the evolution of heaven and earth, I don't know how many people yearn for someone to challenge Yuan Yang, but the only one who dares to stand up is this Feng Xinglie.
"Since it concerns my teacher, I still have to go and take a look. Do you want to go with me, Brother Qi?"
Sun En pondered for a long time and decided to go and take a look, even though he didn't think Feng Xinglie could achieve anything.
"I won't go. Be careful. If it's not necessary, just watch from the sidelines."
Qi Cang hesitated slightly, but refused. Even now, he still had a deep awe for Emperor Yuan Yang.
For no other reason than facing an existence that could control his life and death.
The best way to get along was to respect him from a distance.
However, he still warned him, implying that this trip was not simple.
"Brother Qi, don't worry. There are not many people in this world who can take me down."
Sun En didn't persuade him much, and he didn't care about Qi Cang's warning.
Without seeing any action, he disappeared into the restaurant.
Before leaving, there was still a pill left on the table. The revival of spiritual energy didn't mean that pills were useless. They were still the 'currency' for traveling between countries and even the Nine Provinces.
'Feng Xinglie fights Yuan Yang... The great event that opened the curtain of the legendary great era. Should I go and take a look?'
Qi Cang hesitated a little.
He knew a lot, much more than most people in this world, but because he knew so much, he hesitated even more.
Feng Xinglie opened the curtain of the great era, but after that...
Sun En in his memory had never been damaged, but he had never participated in it before. It was hard to say whether there would be any variables.
"Is this the restaurant where Supreme Guanglong once stayed?"
A clear female voice came from outside, breaking the noise in the restaurant. Her voice was quite gentle, like rain hitting plantain leaves or pearls falling on a jade plate.
This voice was not very loud, but it seemed to have magical power. The moment it sounded, all the sounds inside and outside the restaurant, and even everything else, disappeared.
"This voice sounds a little familiar..."
Qi Cang came back to his senses from his memories and raised his eyebrows to look over. He couldn't help but feel a 'thump' in his heart.
He saw a petite figure dragging a long shadow slowly walking into the restaurant in front of the restaurant door. Behind her were two tall and burly monks, as majestic as vajras, one on the left and one on the right.
She was a delicate-looking girl who couldn't be considered stunning.
She was wearing a white monk's robe that was spotless, and three thousand strands of blue silk hung down her waist. At this time, she was curiously looking at the restaurant. Her clear eyes reflected everything inside and outside like a mirror.
Anyone who saw her eyes couldn't help but turn away, as if they couldn't face her.
"How could it be her..."
Even though his state of mind had improved after thousands of years of quiet cultivation, Qi Cang still couldn't control his emotional changes for a moment.
"The Buddha 'Di Mituo' of the Endless Desert Sea!"
Seeing the girl, someone in the restaurant gasped, and the temperature in the entire restaurant suddenly rose.
Indeed, many people couldn't control their energy and blood. Their faces were flushed, and their expressions were extremely excited!
Some small cultivators who practiced Buddhist supernatural powers even knelt on the ground and chanted 'Buddha', sincerely and humbly!
Even some cultivators who didn't practice Buddhism and didn't believe in Buddhism seemed to be infected and became a little excited.
"Buddha!"
The restaurant was in an uproar.
A thousand years ago, many forces in the Star Sea returned, causing great waves in the Eastern Continent and even the Nine Provinces.
The collision between the Star Sea forces and the old forces made many people hear the names of these forces.
Among them, the most widely spread were the Endless Desert Sea and the Buddha Land.
The Nalanda Temple of the Endless Desert Sea was said to be the place where the ancient Buddha attained the Dao, and it was also the ancestral land and root of all Buddhist sects.
The Buddha Land was established by a brilliant monk from the Nalanda Temple who left the Star Sea.
It was said that the monk's ideas were incompatible with the Buddha's, and there was a huge difference between the two factions. This return would naturally not be peaceful.
However, among Buddhists, those with incompatible ideas did not want to see each other with weapons, but wanted to hold a debate.
The Buddha 'Di Mituo' emerged at that time.
It was said that he was born on a life planet in the Star Sea and had Buddhist nature from birth. He attended the largest debate meeting in Buddhism in thousands of years a thousand years ago.
He overturned the seven sects of Buddhism and eighteen senior Dhyana practitioners, causing a sensation in the entire Buddhist community and becoming the first 'Buddha' jointly recommended by the seven sects of Buddhism since ancient times!
"Immeasurable Buddha."
The delicate girl put her hands together, lightly recited a Buddhist chant, and the invisible but tangible soft Buddha light had already helped everyone up.
A peaceful and serene aura spread out, smoothing out the waves in everyone's hearts.
The restaurant, which was still in turmoil a moment ago, had calmed down in the next moment, and a pin could be heard dropping.
"This monk is only here to admire the relics of the sages. If I have disturbed you, please don't blame me."
Di Mituo opened her mouth calmly, and everyone said that they didn't dare.
However, they had all calmed down and were no longer as excited and fanatical as before.
Then, her clear eyes shifted and fell on Qi Cang, who was expressionless in the corner, and smiled slightly: "Daoist, this monk is being polite."
"Hoo~"
Qi Cang suppressed his twitching eyelids and returned a salute: "This poor Daoist is Qi Cang. I have met the Buddha."
At this moment, Qi Cang was a little dazed.
He hadn't encountered similar things for hundreds of years. The last time he encountered it was when Sun En traveled, and he retreated to cultivate because he had some insights.
Then, he encountered Feng Xinglie for the second time.
However, after several hundred years, similar things had not happened again. Although he still remembered that his 'luck was at its lowest point' and it was easy for ominous things to happen.
But after not encountering it for a long time, he was a little careless.
Who would have thought that Di Mituo would be encountered just after Sun En left!
This Buddha...
Recalling the deeds of this Buddha in his previous life's memories, Qi Cang felt a burst of palpitations in his heart. In a sense, this Buddha was even more dangerous than Feng Xinglie!
