“Outside the Fourth Star Ring, I am already invincible.”
This fifth disciple of mine truly turned out well!
With the boost from his Invincible Stance, he could instantly kill a Two-rotation Star Venerate! One must remember, the Fourth Star Ring was a barrier even for High-star Supremes!
At the same time, Wuwu's myriad insights into the Buddhist Dao flooded into Lu Xuan's mind. Endless divine radiance poured in, starlight shimmering and spreading. Lu Xuan's attainment in the Buddhist Dao had already reached unfathomable depths! It was twice that of Wuwu's!
Lu Xuan looked at Wuwu. “Let me see your Buddhist Dao insights.”
Wuwu slowly rose, inscribing all his Buddhist Dao insights into an Ancient Jade Slip, which he then handed to Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan took it, his divine sense sweeping over it. Just for show, of course...
A moment later.
Lu Xuan flicked his finger. “Whoosh!”
A brilliant divine radiance surged into Wuwu's glabella, instantly transforming into a boundless ocean of insight. Wuwu was slightly astonished. “Such vast Buddhist Dao insights!”
He was stunned. Master had merely swept his divine sense over it, yet he had directly made so many improvements to his insights! His power was beyond words! A colossal wave surged within Wuwu's heart! Lu Xuan's help was immense, truly a transformative grace!
Chen Changsheng smiled, and Wuwu returned the knowing glance. The two were like reflections, their faces different, yet unable to erase the Power of Karma that subtly bound them.
Lu Xuan asked the System, “What's the upgrade status of Myriad Laws Immunity?”
At that moment, the System replied, “Within three realms above the Host, enemies cannot inflict any damage upon the Host!”
Lu Xuan smiled. “Good, good, good. Better late than never!”
Next, Lu Xuan retrieved a Vajra Scepter from his System space. A terrifying aura surged from it, gleaming with brilliant golden light. Though currently sealed, the Dao and Rhyme emanating from it were incredibly potent, far surpassing that of a Supreme! This was a Star Venerate Realm spirit weapon!
Chen Changsheng and Wuwu were instantly captivated! Their eyes gleamed, once again struck with awe. It was a faceted scepter, with three Buddha statues carved into its middle section: one smiling, one enraged, and one scolding, all exuding immense majesty. Countless, intricate Dao patterns were inscribed upon its surface, impossible to fully count.
Lu Xuan looked at Wuwu. “This Vajra Scepter is for you. With your current cultivation, you can unlock one seal. There are two more seals; you can unlock one when you reach Seven-star Supreme, and another when you reach Nine-star Supreme!”
Wuwu excitedly accepted the Vajra Scepter from Lu Xuan. “Thank you, Master!”
A Star Venerate Realm spirit weapon!
Lu Xuan activated his Insight Eye, and he saw with absolute clarity countless red karmic threads on Wuwu's body. Though faded, they were densely interwoven, pulsating with an eerie power. Even after Seven-lifetime Reincarnation Cultivation, Wuwu had still not managed to wash away all traces of Dao Yi from his being. These karmic threads stretched endlessly into the distance. A portion of them led to the Southern Wilds!
Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze, stating calmly, “Dao Yi's wisp of obsession, actually incarnated here?”
At the same time, within the Supreme Profound Sect, inside Ancestor Liu Ruyan's stone sculpture...
Nangong Baixue was cultivating. Meanwhile, Qin Wang and Dao Yi's corpse simultaneously felt a chilling dread. They sensed themselves being observed by a terrifying entity!
Nangong Baixue slowly opened her eyes and asked, “What's wrong?”
Qin Wang's body trembled, too terrified to speak. Dao Yi's corpse stated, “This realm has a Supreme existence!”
Nangong Baixue scoffed. “It's nothing. My main body is already in the Star Venerate Realm! A mere Supreme can be extinguished with a flick of a finger!” Her main body, Ancestor Liu Ruyan, had already sent a message. Liu Ruyan would dispatch High-star Supremes to descend upon the Tai Chu Realm! They were coming to retrieve this avatar, and simultaneously take Dao Yi's obsession and his corpse! Therefore, Nangong Baixue had nothing to fear! Simply because... Liu Ruyan had promised to grant Nangong Baixue independent existence! Considering this, Nangong Baixue slowly closed her eyes.
On the other side.
Wuwu looked at Lu Xuan. “Master, I still need to make a trip to Ling Mountain Temple to seek the Nirvana Scripture!”
Lu Xuan nodded. “Go. Do you know what to do?”
Wuwu glanced at the Vajra Scepter in his hand. He understood! From this moment on, he would transform into a Warrior Monk! The Vajra Scepter was inscribed with countless runes, and its function could be summarized in one word: 'Break'! To break all obstacles in the world! Defeat demons, shatter obstacles!
Though he was Wuwu, the Power of Karma from Dao Yi still lingered in his bones. Dao Yi had once been an invincible expert across all Five Domains! Wuwu's previous seven lives had also been filled with countless battles! In this life, he would begin his true combat now!
Wuwu bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan. “Master, I'm leaving.”
Lu Xuan nodded, then pulled out a lounge chair and leisurely reclined. Wuwu slowly walked out of the room, informing the surrounding Buddhist cultivators of his intentions. “I have taken a master, and now, having stepped into the Supreme Realm, I shall journey to Ling Mountain Temple!”
The crowd prostrated themselves on the ground, asking in utter shock, “Master Wuwu, who is your master?” They couldn't comprehend! Currently, Wuwu was undoubtedly the foremost expert in the Western Desert! Who could possibly be qualified to be Wuwu's master?
Wuwu slowly replied, “My Master, Lu Xuan, is resting in the room. You must not disturb him.” With that, he dissipated all his oppressive aura. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat trickling down their backs, and slowly rose.
“Whoosh!”
Lu Xuan flicked out a stream of light that landed on Wuwu, and profound spatial array patterns surged around him. “Boom!” Wuwu vanished instantly, reappearing directly at Ling Mountain Temple.
At this moment, the setting sun's afterglow bathed Ling Mountain Temple, and countless scripture pavilions shimmered with brilliant golden patterns, dazzling beyond compare. The evening glow was breathtaking.
As Wuwu descended, Minghui Master already stood before Ling Mountain Temple's gates, his monk robes billowing without a breeze. He looked at Wuwu, “You... you've broken through to the Supreme Realm?”
Wuwu replied calmly, “Indeed. I have come to borrow the Nirvana Scripture for study.” Though he had now stepped into Four-star Supreme, the traces of Dao Yi on his being had not yet been fully washed away. He still needed the Nirvana Scripture! Only through the Nirvana Power, washing away the lead and glamour, could he truly become Wuwu!
At that moment, a dozen powerful Buddhist cultivators appeared behind Minghui Master! All of them were Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes! A grey-robed Buddhist cultivator said coldly, “Wuwu, you're not thinking of just taking it, are you? Our Ling Mountain Temple has already contacted our Supreme Old Ancestors; they have joined Bodhi Temple and become abbots! No matter how powerful you are, you are no match for the seniors of Bodhi Temple!”
Wuwu's expression remained serene. Today, he must read this Nirvana Scripture. Borrowing it was merely a courtesy to Ling Mountain Temple!
Suddenly, Minghui Master spoke, “I admit, my combat power is inferior to yours. I propose a Buddhist Debate with you. If I lose, you may borrow the Nirvana Scripture!”
Wuwu quietly looked at Minghui Master and said, “Agreed.” One must know, Wuwu's current attainment in the Buddhist Dao was already terrifying! Lu Xuan had bestowed upon him a vast amount of insights! These insights far surpassed his own! He knew Minghui Master had risen dramatically in this era, and not long ago, had engaged in Buddhist Debates with powerful Buddhist cultivators across the entire Western Desert. Minghui Master had won them all! He was far ahead of his peers! However... Wuwu knew, deep down, that his current self had already far surpassed Minghui Master! He was even further ahead than 'far ahead'!
At this moment, Minghui Master directly sat cross-legged and said, “Please begin.” Wuwu also sat cross-legged and replied, “Please.”
Minghui Master asked, “Wuwu, you have always sought to sever the self. After severing the self, what remains of you? What are you? How will you exist?”
