Chapter 338: Chapter 255: This... This Is the Buddha’s Son? Too Terrifying

"Embrace the vows, uphold them unto rebirth, and find joy in paradise..."

Time ticked by. More and more attendees at the Dharma Assembly closed their eyes, becoming completely immersed, but Yang An was still observing everyone around him.

He was waiting for someone to have a noticeable breakthrough in their cultivation.

After a short while, gasps of surprise and admiration suddenly came from the crowd behind him.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Mana gathered on the grounds rippled, stirred like a tide, and a disciple from the Sacred Heart Institute trembled from head to toe.

Someone broke through!

From the Early Stage of Visceral Stone to the Middle Stage of Visceral Stone! A whole Small Realm!

Yang An’s perception swept over them for just an instant. The disciple’s Cultivation Level was completely exposed to him.

After seeing someone finally break through, he was finally relieved. It seemed what Qing Nan had said was true.

Now, it was time for him to prepare to release his Concealment Seal.

’As the Buddha’s Son, a True Buddha Reincarnation, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to have an epiphany during the Dharma Assembly and break through several stages of cultivation at once.’

Just as Yang An was preparing to undo the first layer of the Seal and proceed gradually...

Unexpectedly, gasps of surprise came from the crowd again.

In that instant, the concentrated Heaven and Earth Mana on the grounds shifted strangely once more.

"It’s Saint Child Guanghui! He broke through! He only joined our Great Virtue Temple a few months ago. To think he’d break through so quickly... he’s truly worthy of being a Holy Child, a reincarnation of a Bodhisattva."

Yang An didn’t turn around, but he knew from his perception who had broken through.

It was Ming Hui, but now his dharma name was Guang Hui.

He broke through from the Middle Stage of Primordial Feeding to the Late-stage in one go. As expected of a Holy Child, the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

’Compared to this *true* Holy Child, I, the *fake* Buddha’s Son, still haven’t made a move. It looks like it’s time.’

Yang An withdrew his senses and began preparing to release his Concealment Seal.

Just as he withdrew his senses, Guang Hui, sitting behind him, slowly opened his eyes and stared at Yang An’s back.

’Still at the Early Stage of Primordial Feeding...’

A faint smile touched Guang Hui’s lips.

He himself had broken through from the Middle to the Late-stage of Primordial Feeding. Yet His Highness the Buddha Prince, whose Cultivation Level was merely at the Early Stage of Primordial Feeding, had shown no signs of stirring at all.

’He’s nothing special after all.’

At the same time, murmurs of discussion rose from the crowd.

"The Sacred Heart and Saint Buddha Institutes are truly worthy of their names. One of their disciples and a Holy Child have already broken through so quickly."

"If we were also disciples of these two institutes, maybe we could also enjoy this opportunity."

"With the blessing of such dense Heaven and Earth Mana, if we could get into the inner grounds, we’d surely achieve a great boost in our Cultivation Level as long as we gained some enlightenment."

"It’s just a shame we weren’t reincarnated from powerful beings. We had no special fate in our past lives, so all we can do is cultivate diligently in this one. We can’t compare to the Holy Child."

"That’s not necessarily true. Look, His Highness the Buddha Prince is on the inner grounds too. He’s a True Buddha Reincarnation, so how come there’s no sign of a breakthrough from him?"

Someone suddenly pointed this out, and the crowd’s attention was drawn to Yang An.

It was true.

The Buddha’s Son truly hadn’t shown any signs of a breakthrough. Could his Wisdom Root really be inferior to those from the Sacred Heart and Saint Buddha Institutes?

De Ben, sitting on the inner grounds, also had a smile on his face as he looked at Guang Hui beside him.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother. To gain enlightenment so smoothly and achieve such a breakthrough, your Wisdom Root is truly exceptional."

"You flatter me, Senior Brother."

Guang Hui’s face was a mask of humility, but he couldn’t hide his smugness. His gaze remained fixed on Yang An as he sneered inwardly.

’So what if he’s the Buddha’s Son?’

’A past life is a past life, and this life is this life. Nobody cares about the past; they all look to the future.’

’Whoever rises the fastest is the strongest.’

’Yang An still hasn’t shown any sign of progress. I, on the other hand, have already broken through to the Late-stage of Primordial Feeding. If I can use this opportunity to break through directly into the Visceral Stone realm, I’ll have an overwhelming advantage.’

’From then on, the rumor that the Buddha’s Son is inferior to the Holy Child will spread throughout the assembly. *That* will be my true opportunity.’

Thinking of this, Guang Hui closed his eyes again, preparing to continue refining his Mana and seek a second breakthrough.

But just as he closed his eyes, he snapped them open again. His gaze fixed on Yang An’s back, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He still had his senses locked on Yang An. Just as he was about to withdraw them, he suddenly felt the aura of Yang An’s Cultivation Level change abruptly.

His Cultivation Level, originally at the Early Stage of Primordial Feeding, had suddenly broken through to the Middle Stage.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Mana was also drawn in an instant, spreading out continuously like ripples.

De Ben, who was beside him, also noticed the phenomenon around Yang An. He was momentarily stunned but didn’t think much of it.

"Worthy of His Highness the Buddha Prince, to also achieve enlightenment and break through during the assembly. He was just a little slower than you, Junior Brother."

It seemed like he was flattering Yang An, but in reality, De Ben’s words were a reminder to Guang Hui.

’That’s right. The Buddha’s Son broke through from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of Primordial Feeding. I, on the other hand, broke through from the Middle Stage to the Late-stage.’

’First, the difficulty of his breakthrough couldn’t compare to mine. Plus, he took much longer to do it.’

’Looked at that way, the Buddha’s Son was still inferior to me.’

Guang Hui was instantly reassured, a cold sneer rising in his heart.

’So what if he broke through? If I can break through one more time, I’ll advance from Primordial Feeding to Visceral Stone. That’s a breakthrough into a whole new Great Realm.’
