Chapter 515: Chapter 291: Merging Realm! Sealing the World! (Part 2)

As he approached the upper end of the Small World, this golden torrent transformed into Sanskrit characters, which layered upon the Small World.

Soon, the entire Small World was encased in a sphere formed of these Sanskrit characters.

This is the Buddhist sect’s "World-Sealing" technique.

After sealing the world, only those from Spirit Mountain could pass through this barrier.

If someone from this Small World wanted to ascend to the Upper Realm, or if another cultivator touched this barrier, he would know.

Originally, he was this Small World’s Receiving Arhat, but some time ago, he received no response from this Small World at all.

However, during that time, he was fiercely battling the Celestial Court’s gods and celestial soldiers, and couldn’t spare attention to this Small World’s matters.

Now, with the small-scale battle against the Celestial Court concluded, his Spirit Mountain had occupied this world.

After sealing the world, he was able to observe what had transpired in this Small World.

A thought crossed his mind, and he divided a strand of divine thought, sending it towards this Small World.

He was responsible for guiding over ten other Small Worlds.

Additionally, a lot happened in the other Small Worlds too.

He couldn’t personally descend to each Small World when something happened.

Moreover, if a war with the Celestial Court reignited, his Upper Realm self would have to join the battle.

Thus, if something occurred in the Lower Realm, he only needed to send a strand of divine thought down.

Besides, he believed that the most formidable person in the Small World likely wouldn’t be able to contend with his divine thought.

If his divine thought was vanquished, it indicated there was an extremely powerful person in the Lower Realm.

In that case, it would be worthwhile for his true self to descend and bring that person into Spirit Mountain.

...

A strand of Subduing Tiger Arhat’s divine thought floated towards Su Que’s Small World.

Inside an inn in Su Que’s Small World, a monk was kneeling and praying to a small Buddha statue.

Since Li Xuanji ascended the throne, he first exterminated the Great Buddha Temple, then ordered his troops to destroy all Buddhist temples in the Qi Kingdom.

He smashed all the Buddha statues and forced all the monks to return to secular life.

This monk, in fact, escaped from the Great Buddha Temple.

He was a devout Buddhist follower, and when he fled, he took a small Buddha statue with him.

Before becoming a monk, he was skilled in disguise techniques.

So he was able to evade the Qi Kingdom troops’ search and flee along the way.

The Great Buddha Temple, as the national religion for many years, had accumulated a substantial amount of wealth.

The golden leaves in his bag were enough for an ordinary family to live well for several generations.

He arrived at the Southern Domain, chose a luxuriously decorated inn, and took off all the disguise materials stuck to his face and head.

After instructing the innkeeper to heat up some water, he took a bath and began practicing the Great Buddha Temple’s Separation Fire and Ice Technique.

He was in his thirties this year, and his martial arts talent was pretty decent, having reached the Late Stage of Meridian Opening Realm.

After practicing for a while, he started wholeheartedly praying to the Buddha in front of the small statue.

Subduing Tiger’s divine thought was drawn to the monk’s prayer.

The monk was praying when suddenly his eyes rolled white, with a flash of gold in them.

As the golden light flickered past, his eyes revealed clear black and white pupils.

Subduing Tiger lowered his head, checked his hands, and felt his newly acquired body.

’This believer’s body is somewhat weak and may not withstand the full force of my divine thought.’

Although he intended to fight with magic by descending his divine thought.

Magic primarily relies on spirit and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, with relatively low dependence on the physical body.

However, if the physical body is too weak, it would be unable to bear the power of strong magic.

’Still, beating the people in this Small World doesn’t necessarily require full strength.’

Thinking this, Subduing Tiger then used telepathy.

In an instant, all the memories of this body flooded into his mind.

’So this is a result of the dynasty change, leading to the Buddhist sect’s decline in this world.’

’But why did the original Abbot Kong Wo and others of the Great Buddha Temple suddenly disappear?’

’Is it possible this dynasty’s power is so immense?’

’I should find this world’s monarch to understand more.’

Thinking this, Subduing Tiger suddenly stomped his foot, utilized divine power, and his figure transformed into a golden light, shooting out the window.

Then the golden light soared high into the sky, crossing the cloud tops and heading towards the Capital City.

...

Upon reaching the Imperial Palace, Subduing Tiger sought out a patrolling soldier, used telepathy, and learned the layout of the palace.

Before long, he appeared in Li Xuanji’s study.

Seeing a figure before him, Li Xuanji initially thought it was Su Que again.

But upon closer inspection, it was a monk, shocking him greatly.

He opened his mouth to shout while mustering his Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill True Qi.

However, Subduing Tiger took a single step forward, swiftly flashing in front of Li Xuanji in mere instant.

His right index finger revealed Buddha’s Light and pointed at Li Xuanji’s forehead.

Before Li Xuanji could let out a shout or unleash the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill True Qi, his eyes bulged, and he immediately lost consciousness, slumping down.

Subduing Tiger used telepathy to invade Li Xuanji’s spirit, instantly acquiring all of his memories.

’Turns out, the key figure who helped this person ascend the throne and played a crucial role in the destruction of the Great Buddha Temple was a mysterious master!’

In Li Xuanji’s memories, Subduing Tiger saw Su Que’s silhouette.

’Hmm? This person isn’t from another Small World, but a native of this world, and they rose rapidly within a few short years?’

From Li Xuanji’s memories, Subduing Tiger saw the scene from a few years ago when Li Xuanji first met Su Que.

At that time, neither Su Que’s skills nor the elixirs he asked Elder Qingxuan to refine indicated high cultivation.

Clearly, he wasn’t someone from another Small World who was hiding, nor was he a cultivator hidden in this Small World for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Thinking of this, Subduing Tiger felt excited.

’This person is a rare talent in cultivation!’

He contemplated bringing this person into the Buddhist sect, hoping to receive an empowerment from the World Honored One, thereby enhancing his own cultivation further!

Subduing Tiger finished thinking, glanced at Li Xuanji.

Although this person destroyed the Buddhist sect in this world, Subduing Tiger considered it destiny; destroyed as it was, it was ruined.

Once he captured that mysterious master, he would have this person rebuild the Buddhist sect in this Small World.

Subduing Tiger made up his mind, and his index finger once again emitted Buddha’s Light, pointing at Li Xuanji’s forehead.

His mana sealed Li Xuanji’s consciousness, ensuring Li Xuanji wouldn’t wake for a period unless he lifted it.

Then, he flew out of the Imperial Palace, leaving secret signs of Li Xuanji and Su Que’s meeting spots at several places throughout the city.

...

These days, Su Que spent his nights returning to Capital City, and his days on a deserted island, practicing the Seven Injuries Fist.

His Seven Injuries Fist sometimes demonstrated mighty power, with a single punch raising massive waves on the distant sea.

Other times it was gentle and flexible, with a punch appearing uneventful, as if nothing had happened.

Only he knew what would happen if he struck a martial artist with such a punch.

Seven Injuries Fist (12th Realm Unparalleled 23%) [Upper Level Extremist Technique]

While practicing, he noticed the medicinal power within his body being nearly depleted, so he retrieved the elixir bottle from his storage pouch and gulped down its content.

He found his elixirs were almost finished.

’I wonder if Elder Qingxuan has managed to refine the celestial medicine into elixirs?’

Thinking this, Su Que decided to seek out Li Xuanji for inquiry.

He immediately soared into the sky and flew back to Capital City.

...

After leaving secret signs throughout Capital City, Subduing Tiger returned to Li Xuanji’s study.

Anyone coming to see Li Xuanji was knocked unconscious and left in the study.

The study became littered with several bodies lying around.

Looking at these bodies, Subduing Tiger thought several individuals possessed martial arts cultivation superior to the body he currently inhabited.

However, unfortunately, his divine thought could only exert maximum efficacy over devout Buddhist followers.

If it attached to these people, their strong bodies wouldn’t utilize even ten percent of the divine thought’s strength.

Subduing Tiger was contemplating when suddenly a golden flash appeared in his eyes.

He sensed a rather powerful cultivator approaching this place.
