Chapter 2026: Chapter 2027: Bestowing Swords at Qingyang Temple (Part 3)
"That’s right, it’s Mo Wang’an!"
"How... how could it become like this?" Gong Liangxing exclaimed in shock.
"It’s a long story. Previously, in a confrontation with a celestial evil entity, this Mo Wang’an was already broken. Initially, I planned to repair it, but later I changed my mind!"
As he spoke, Xue An’s fingers gently brushed over the fragments of Mo Wang’an.
"Instead of clinging to the obsessions of the past, it’s better to let go. After all, An Yan has returned to my side, and it’s truly unwise to hold on to a thought from back then!"
"So I decided to shatter this Mo Wang’an and then bestow the pieces upon you all. This way, you shall possess a set of sword instruments and can form a highly powerful Sword Array at any time!"
"But... Mo Wang’an already nurtured spiritual consciousness. If we do this..." Gong Liangxing said, somewhat reluctant.
Xue An smiled faintly, "Rest assured, before doing this, I had already consulted it. Moreover, after bestowing it upon you, Mo Wang’an is not dead. On the contrary, if you refine it properly, it may grow to an even greater extent!"
"So, would you be willing to inherit the fragments of Mo Wang’an?"
Gong Liangxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, we are naturally willing!"
"Very good!"
With that, Xue An raised his hand, and the sword fragments in his hand rose up, turning into streams of light that flew into the bodies of the Qingyang Sect crowd.
The people of the Qingyang Sect shuddered, only recovering moments later, and then bowed towards Xue An in unison.
Xue An waved his hand.
"Go now!"
The disciples from Qingyang Sect then took their leave.
After the command room was empty, Xue An turned to the massive monitor and said calmly.
"Don’t think that obtaining the Command Talisman Armor marks the end because the real trial... is just beginning!"
Meanwhile, as preparations were fervently being made on Earth, in the distant void outside the Pure Land Buddhist Country,
a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness, looking rather puzzled at the Garuda in front of him.
"Strange, clearly, there was a faint fluctuation emanating from here, but why did it suddenly disappear?"
This man was hurried and from his attire, he seemed to be a bounty hunter traversing the Multiverse.
Recently, the bounty with the highest reward throughout the Multiverse, even breaking historical records, was the task of finding Xue An’s whereabouts.
Bounty hunters across the Multiverse were moved by the news.
This one was no exception.
However, unlike other bounty hunters who blindly crashed around hoping to get lucky, he had a secret family technique that could track someone’s whereabouts through their bloodline scent.
So after investigating along the way, he had arrived here.
"Could Xue An be hiding in this Buddha Kingdom?" This hunter circled the Garuda a few times, mumbling to himself.
Because only that could explain the faint fluctuation of the bloodline.
"But these Buddhist cultivators are always indifferent to worldly affairs, afraid of getting involved in karma, so why would they shelter such a troublemaker?"
This bounty hunter was puzzled beyond words.
Just at that moment, the distant sky suddenly lit up with waves of Buddha light, and faint Sanskrit chants could be heard.
The bounty hunter was frightened into shrinking his neck, quickly hiding in the void, reducing his blood and qi activity to the lowest, entering a subtle state of presence and absence.
This was his life-saving trick.
He had just finished hiding when he saw countless golden lights enveloping the sky, led by several Great Bodhisattvas with golden wheels atop their heads and lotus flowers beneath their feet.
The bounty hunter’s eyes widened instantly, and two big words popped into his mind.
Esoteric Sect!
Indeed, the arrivals were the many Buddhist cultivators from the Esoteric Vajra Realm and the Womb Realm.
Back then, Xue An had formed an alliance with Master Bodhi in the Esoteric Altar City, ultimately becoming a teacher of the entire Esoteric Sect.
Later, Xue An had Maitreya lead Guan Zizai and other Esoteric powerhouses to the Pure Land Buddhist Country, so they could combine their strengths.
However, due to needing to cover their tracks along the way, Maitreya and his group had only now arrived at the Pure Land Buddhist Country.
Observing these Esoteric masters, the bounty hunter’s heart quivered slightly, suppressing it quickly, afraid to attract the attention of these Great Bodhisattvas.
He knew full well that these Esoteric Great Bodhisattvas operated in ways vastly different from the Pure Land Buddhist Country’s cultivators.
They were beings that would indeed engage in deadly combat!
But what were these Esoteric masters coming in such grand numbers to do in the Pure Land Buddhist Country?
Could it be that these monks were having an internal conflict, about to wage war?
The thought had just surfaced in the bounty hunter’s mind.
When he saw the golden lights come to a halt, and then Maitreya stepped forth, palms together, saying, "Namo, Honored Masters, elder brothers, Maitreya has arrived!"
As he spoke.
Inside the Garuda, a resplendent golden light emerged, followed by a voice proclaiming a Buddhist chant.
"Namo, my Buddha, what winds bring all the Great Bodhisattvas of the Esoteric Sect to gather here today? Are you perhaps intending to crash the party in the Pure Land Buddhist Country?"
As the words echoed, gold light flickered above the Garuda, and Yue Ji led Yue Sha, the White Eyebrow Arhat, and others as they stepped onto lotus flowers to welcome them.
The two sides stood apart in the air, lotus against lotus, faintly somewhat opposed.
Beside Yue Sha, Xiao Yingluo quietly asked, "Uncle, are you going to fight?"
Yue Sha smiled, "I don’t think so!"
"Then why make such a big display?"
"Perhaps it’s just for the show!" Yue Sha said calmly.
Just then, Yue Ji coldly swept his gaze over Maitreya and the others, then said icily, "Maitreya, what is your intention?"
His words were filled with wariness and hostility.
It wasn’t that Yue Ji was overly nervous, but indeed, the manner of these Esoteric people was too aggressive, inevitably causing him to suspect the worst.
Maitreya quickly clasped his hands in respect, "Brother Yue Ji, we were sent by Xue..."
Before he could finish, Guan Zizai, behind him, said coldly, "Brother Maitreya, hold off on speaking, let me first test Brother Yue Ji’s abilities!"
With that, he stepped forward and stood calmly, "Brother Yue Ji, I, the simple monk Guan Zizai, wish to engage you in a debate of the law!"
Maitreya trembled, "Guan Zizai, you..."
Guan Zizai waved dismissively, "It’s just a friendly spar, it won’t harm our harmony, right, Brother Yue Ji?"
Yue Ji gazed coldly at Guan Zizai, just about to speak.
At that moment, Yue Sha whispered to Ying Lou, "Ying Lou, don’t move. I’ll be right back!"
With that, he stepped forward and said calmly, "Guan Zizai, why not spar with me? What do you think?"
Guan Zizai glanced up sharply at Yue Sha, "It’s you!"
"Indeed, it’s me!" Yue Sha smiled slightly, "Do you dare to engage?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Guan Zizai replied coldly.
The atmosphere was instantly thick with tension, a great battle on the verge of erupting.
At that moment, a loud shout came from afar, "Everyone, hold off, the Mistress has arrived!"
