Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 979: Jade Buddha Sect No. 1

Boom...

Torrential rain poured down, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The heavens seemed to split open, unleashing endless rainwater that surged down furiously.

Amidst the boundless darkness, a ghostly figure, holding a Longsword upside down, emerged from the void, the pouring rain shying away from this person.

Suddenly.

Swish!

A dazzling sword light descended.

A towering ancient tree was instantly severed by the sword light.

That sword.

Shocking to the heavens and weeping to the ghosts, incredibly powerful.

That sword cut the tree at the ground level, severing it cleanly.

The ghostly black figure, without saying a word, approached slowly with the Longsword in hand.

"Who are you?"

The severed tree looked at the black figure with a face full of fear.

The black figure remained silent.

The sword in his hand sparkled silver in the rain.

He reached out.

The vast root system underground was instantly grabbed by him.

"You..."

The severed tree was stunned to see its roots being pulled out.

The next moment.

Before it could utter another word, the black figure vanished.

...

Vaguely, time seemed to reverse as Dragon Tree Buddha recalled a scene that had occurred in his past.

He was the giant tree in the darkness.

That day, his tree body was severed by a mysterious expert who did not kill him on the spot but merely took away his roots.

Indeed.

Dragon Tree Buddha’s true form was not a human but a giant rootless tree.

Its roots, in fact, were held by the cloaked youth standing far away in the void.

That is, the true form of Buddha Flame Root.

And the true form of Buddha Flame Root is the roots of Dragon Tree Buddha, marking the genuine relationship between the two.

"Uncle Master, who is this?"

Dragon Court Buddha Child glanced at Dragon Tree Buddha’s profile, somewhat unsure, and asked quietly.

The middle-aged monk waved his hand, setting up a barrier around them.

"This is the founding ancestor of our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect, Dragon Tree Buddha..."

The middle-aged monk whispered.

"What? Dragon Tree Buddha?"

Dragon Court Buddha Child looked utterly shocked, standing stunned.

Dragon Tree Buddha had been dead for over a million years, his body long buried on Cangnan Continent.

How is it possible that Dragon Tree Buddha is alive again all of a sudden?

This is indeed baffling.

"Dragon Tree Buddha returns willingly from a higher Buddhist realm back to the Divine Land, and furthermore, he brings a trace of Infinite Buddha Light. You should quickly return to the Sect to see if you can absorb that trace of Infinite Buddha Light..."

The middle-aged monk thought for a moment and said quietly.

Dragon Court Buddha Child is the most gifted person within the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect. If he can’t absorb it, then no one in this generation of Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect disciples might be able to absorb this Infinite Buddha Light.

The hope can only be deferred to the next generation.

"Uncle Master, what about this Dharma Assembly?"

Dragon Court Buddha Child briefly hesitated, feeling excited yet uncertain, and asked.

"Dragon Tree Buddha and I will attend it. Our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect has always been low-key and doesn’t seek fame in these gatherings, wouldn’t you say?"

The middle-aged monk smiled faintly.

"I understand, Uncle Master, I’ll be heading back now!"

Dragon Court Buddha Child nodded and then left alone, gracefully.

There were many experts in this lake, and Dragon Court Buddha Child’s departure did not attract any attention.

Though, there were two individuals on a lotus leaf whose minds were in turmoil.

Master Hongyun and his mentor Red Dragon stood behind the crowd, staring fixedly at Ye Yun in the void.

"That guy, is he really Yinfuti?"

Red Dragon wore a shocked expression.

When his disciple told him earlier, he didn’t believe it at all. The legendary Yinfuti—how could it possibly exist?

In the history of Divine Land, no real Yinfuti had ever appeared.

Yinfuti has always lingered in legends.

But today’s facts have brutally slapped him in the face.

Jade Buddha Sect not only has a Yinfuti, but even Holy Buddha Sect also has a Yinfuti. Now these two great Yinfuti are confronting each other in the void.

Looks like a spectacular duel between dragons and tigers is about to unfold.

"Master, why would I dare lie to you? This Ye Chen is indeed Yinfuti..."

Master Hongyun replied with a bitter smile.

"I was careless. Who would have thought there really is a Yinfuti in this world!"

Red Dragon sighed deeply.

It’s too late now to say anything.

If known earlier, their Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect could have acted in time to find a way to seize this Yinfuti.

A Yinfuti holds immeasurable value to any Buddha Sect power.

It is the supreme touchstone for testing the depth of Buddhist Law.

"Master, is that Purple Robed senior from Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect too? His monk’s robe looks different from yours."

Master Hongyun suddenly noticed a flash in the distance, and asked quietly.

Red Dragon looked at the purple figure, frowning slightly: "I don’t know him either, but he was brought by Uncle Master, perhaps there’s some relation to our Sect..."

"Oh!"

Master Hongyun nodded woodenly.

The conversation between Dragon Court Buddha Child and the middle-aged monk was isolated by the barrier, so no one else overheard.

Therefore, the two did not know the origins of Dragon Tree Buddha.

"Haha, Holy Buddha Sect and Jade Buddha Sect really are archrivals, both deploying their greatest weapons simultaneously. There’s going to be a show to watch..."

Red Dragon returned his gaze to the void above the lake where two figures stood, smiling as he spoke.

Their Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect has always been discreet and mysterious, and does not partake in the ranking fight of Buddhist Law in the Land of Thousands of Buddhas.

Thus, their visit is merely to join in the fun.

Within the lake.

On the largest Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus, everyone from Jade Buddha Sect now showed expressions of shock.

Especially the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, who frowned and his face turned rigid.

He hadn’t expected that Holy Buddha Sect would play a trick of pulling the rug from under them.

"Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, where did your Holy Buddha Sect’s Yinfuti come from? Does it have the Oracle from Eternal Divine Hall?"

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor asked calmly, hands behind his back.

This question, like a sharp knife gently pushed forward, forced Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman into a dead end.

If Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman lacked the Oracle from Eternal Divine Hall, then there were numerous ways he could resolve the matter.

"There’s no Oracle, but he truly is Yinfuti, that’s beyond doubt."

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman hesitated a bit, took a deep breath, and replied calmly.

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor smiled faintly.

"Are you kidding? Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, your Holy Buddha Sect presented a Yinfuti of unknown origin—is this intending to dupe our Jade Buddha Sect?"

A God King Realm expert from Jade Buddha Sect shouted angrily.

"Indeed, truly laughable, haha!"

Many people laughed out loud.

"Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, if there’s no Oracle from Eternal Divine Hall, all the daoists present would likely not recognize this Yinfuti’s identity..."

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor continued indifferently.

"Oracle Buddha Ancestor is right! This episode is merely a self-produced drama by your Holy Buddha Sect. Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, did you really consider us all fools?"

The Original Buddha Child from Supreme Buddha Sect stood out at this moment, ruthlessly critiquing Holy Buddha Sect.

"Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, Yinfuti itself is a legendary figure. Only a power like Eternal Divine Hall has the right to authenticate. Your Holy Buddha Sect is inferior to Jade Buddha Sect, lack the skill, so why not just acknowledge it?"

On a Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus, a God King Realm expert shouted loudly.

"That’s right, we all support Jade Buddha Sect!"

Someone shouted.

"The Oracle from Eternal Divine Hall could never be fake. We believe Jade Buddha Sect’s Buddhist Law has surpassed Holy Buddha Sect, ranking first in the Land of Thousands of Buddhas!"

"Jade Buddha Sect is first, an indisputable fact! I support them first!"

"I also support..."

"..."

All the Buddha Sect powers over the lake boiled over at this moment, nearly all support tilting towards Jade Buddha Sect.
