"Nirvana Scripture!!!"
Li Xiaotian's last words were spoken directly, not through telepathic transmission, so everyone present could hear.
Upon hearing Li Xiaotian demand the "Nirvana Scripture" from the Glazed Bodhisattva, everyone present was astonished.
The Nirvana Scripture, one of the five great legacy Buddhist scriptures of the Medicine Buddha Sect, could purify the soul, condense one's spiritual consciousness, ward off evil, and keep one's mind clear and pure. It was created by the Medicine Buddha, the founder of the Medicine Buddha Sect.
Furthermore, the most miraculous effect of the Nirvana Scripture was its ability to aid cultivation, allowing individuals to continuously perceive breakthroughs during their practice without encountering bottlenecks.
It could be said that the Nirvana Scripture was an infinitely enticing Buddhist scripture for any martial artist, something countless people in Buddha State dreamed of.
Therefore, when everyone present heard Li Xiaotian's words, they became restless. They were first surprised, but then their hearts were filled with shock.
Li Xiaotian was asking for a lion's share by exchanging the Blissful Buddha Son for the Nirvana Scripture of the Medicine Buddha Sect! It was known that the other party had not given anything in return, essentially trading for the Nirvana Scripture empty-handed.
"Li Xiaotian!!!"
The Glazed Bodhisattva's expression changed drastically at this moment. Whether he wanted to exchange or not was his decision.
But who would have thought that Li Xiaotian would be so direct, essentially forcing him to make a choice: either exchange or fight, leaving him no room to retreat.
"Why are you shouting? If you don't say it, how will the Blissful Buddha Sect know the great price you paid to save their sect's Buddha Son?"
Li Xiaotian sneered and transmitted his thoughts to the Glazed Bodhisattva.
"I'm helping you, Bodhisattva. The more you give, the greater the debt the Blissful Buddha Sect owes you, and the easier it will be for you to achieve your goals."
"But you shouldn't have said it out loud! Besides, I never agreed to exchange the Nirvana Scripture!!"
The Glazed Bodhisattva roared in anger. What a Li Xiaotian, forcing him into a corner.
"You don't want to? What? Are you suggesting a fight? With the Medicine Buddha Sect as the battlefield, killing until the heavens and earth are dark, leaving both of us wounded, and only then will you agree to the exchange?"
Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, raising an eyebrow, looking eager to fight.
"You, madman!!!"
Seeing this, the Glazed Bodhisattva's head began to ache. Li Xiaotian was impossible to reason with. Threatening to use the Medicine Buddha Sect as a battlefield, this was a clear threat.
But he was helpless against Li Xiaotian. Li Xiaotian could do such a thing, but he could not!
The Glazed Bodhisattva frowned, feeling both angry and vexed. His aura continuously fluctuated, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, unstable.
He seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Exchange!"
The Glazed Bodhisattva roared, his expression somewhat unwilling, but then he seemed to let go.
He was a bit deluded. Although the Nirvana Scripture was one of the five great legacy Buddhist scriptures of the Medicine Buddha Sect, it ranked last and was not forbidden to be passed on.
In ancient times, some of Buddha State's most exceptional talents had been gifted the Nirvana Scripture by the Medicine Buddha Sect.
Therefore, speaking of it, exchanging the Nirvana Scripture for the Blissful Buddha Son meant he had suffered no loss.
It was just that he was unwilling because he was stronger than Li Xiaotian, and this was on his own territory. Being constantly dominated by Li Xiaotian made him unhappy.
"Truly exchanging?"
Li Xiaotian's eyes lit up, not expecting the other party to agree so quickly.
"Amitabha, Li benefactor, a monk does not lie, but I hope Li benefactor remembers that the Nirvana Scripture is not to be disseminated outside!"
The Glazed Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and spoke unhurriedly. At this moment, his aura was stable, and his state of mind was peaceful.
He had no choice but to exchange. Li Xiaotian had grasped his weakness, threatening him with the life of the Blissful Buddha Son and the safety of the Medicine Buddha Sect. He had no other option.
Who made him a Buddhist cultivator?
Sacrificing oneself for others, if I don't go to hell, who will?
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a beam of Buddhist light emanated from the Glazed Bodhisattva and rippled outwards.
Everyone present, swept by the Buddhist light, felt the Glazed Bodhisattva's current state of mind.
"Amitabha! Bodhisattva's compassion!"
Instantly, numerous powerhouses from Buddha State clasped their hands together and chanted.
Although they didn't know what the Glazed Bodhisattva had gone through, at this moment, they all understood the state of mind that led the Glazed Bodhisattva to agree to Li Xiaotian.
Some looked at Li Xiaotian with fear in their eyes, guessing some of the truth.
They speculated that Li Xiaotian had threatened the Glazed Bodhisattva into agreeing by threatening war.
Li Xiaotian himself was a little stunned. They agreed just like that? He hadn't even killed a few more people to pressure the other party.
"Is this like the Buddha cutting flesh to feed the eagle?"
Li Xiaotian thought to himself, his expression strange. To think that these people from Buddha State were so kind, sacrificing themselves for others and possessing compassion.
If this were in Yan State, and sects like the Desolate Hall or Divine Sect were pressured like this by him, they would have already started a war.
No! Suddenly, Li Xiaotian's gaze sharpened. He looked deeply at the Glazed Bodhisattva, then at the Buddha State powerhouses present showing their admiration for the Glazed Bodhisattva. He smiled.
At this moment, the Buddha State powerhouses present were probably all moved by the Glazed Bodhisattva's compassion.
Li Xiaotian sneered inwardly. The other party had gained the favor of the Blissful Buddha Sect and increased his prestige in Buddha State by exchanging just one Buddhist scripture.
In terms of calculation, the Glazed Bodhisattva was the biggest beneficiary of this transaction.
The Glazed Bodhisattva seemed to sense something and looked at Li Xiaotian, a smile in his eyes, but a hint of mockery flashed within it, subtly.
"Li benefactor, you have not yet answered this seat."
The Glazed Bodhisattva spoke, his voice gentle.
"Of course, Bodhisattva, rest assured. I will absolutely not disseminate the Nirvana Scripture. I swear by the name of my Dragon King."
Li Xiaotian said with a smile, shaking his head. He didn't think too much about it; the Nirvana Scripture had been obtained.
As for what the Glazed Bodhisattva's purpose was, it had nothing to do with him, and he was not interested.
"That is good. Li benefactor, please follow me. The Nirvana Scripture has no physical form, and it can only be imparted on the Buddhist altar of the Medicine Buddha Sect from our Buddha's time."
The Glazed Bodhisattva said, turning towards the distant Medicine Buddha Sect and taking away the Blissful Buddha Son. It seemed he feared Li Xiaotian would go back on his word and kill him in the end.
Seeing this, Li Xiaotian frowned. Was the other party intentionally luring him? It was just a Buddhist scripture, why did it need to be imparted on the Buddhist altar?
"Brother, why don't I go?"
Beside him, Long Shiwu's weak voice came. His injuries had stabilized, and he had recovered some strength.
"No need. You take Qingmei and Anmei to meet up, and we'll leave after I come out."
Li Xiaotian shook his head and said. He believed the Glazed Bodhisattva wouldn't be so foolish as to intentionally lure him to the Medicine Buddha Sect and then suppress him using the Medicine Buddha's altar.
If that were the case, he would have agreed to exchange the Nirvana Scripture long ago and wouldn't have haggled with him.
With that, Li Xiaotian followed.
"Amitabha, benefactor Fifteen, benefactor Ye, you don't need to worry. A monk does not lie. Since the Bodhisattva has agreed to Li benefactor, he will absolutely not go back on his word."
A San spoke, comforting Long Shiwu and the other. He was confident about this. Breaking one's promise was extremely rare in Buddha State, especially among strong individuals who placed great importance on their reputation and credibility.
"That would be for the best. Although the Dragon King Hall only has my King as the overlord, if my King encounters any accidents, I believe the tens of thousands of brothers in the Dragon King Hall will make Buddha State remember us forever."
Long Shiwu said, gritting his teeth. If Li Xiaotian were to have an accident, every person in the Dragon King Hall would transform into a demon, bringing eternal unrest to Buddha State.
