The King of Black Fog

Chapter 334: The Bizarre Fight with Buddhism - Part 2


Bai Suzhen shook her head, "The Bodhisattva Guanyin has guided me. I cannot betray the Bodhisattva, no matter what. Aside from such ungrateful actions, please ask Bai Suzhen to do anything else, and let Qing'er go."

"Sister." Qing'er, moved, held Bai Suzhen's hand.

"Since they came to us instead of seeking Guanyin, they probably don't know how to meet Guanyin themselves," Yang Qinglan said.

"Just torture her for a few more days, then it's fine," Li Changzhou thought nothing of it.

Qing'er's face turned pale. Each day when the poison acted up, she wished she could grind the flesh from her bones. The inhuman pain, even just imagining it, made her shiver all over.

"This young master," Bai Suzhen hastily said, "we sisters haven't even passed the Human Tribulation, how could we know where the Bodhisattva Guanyin is?"

"You don't know at all?" Li Changzhou asked.

"I only heard that the Bodhisattva's Daoist Arena is in the South Sea."

Didn't you just say you wouldn't commit ungrateful actions?

Or is it that this level doesn't count as being ungrateful? Is it common knowledge that Guanyin's Daoist Arena is in the South Sea?

Just thinking of the word 'Daoist Arena,' Li Changzhou felt a heavy mood, certain that it belonged to the Bodhisattva Guanyin's 'territory.'

In other places, an Earth Immortal might not necessarily be stronger than a Human Immortal, but within the 'territory' of an Earth Immortal, no number of Human Immortals could match against one Earth Immortal.

That was the opponent's world, and even if they hadn't merged with the world to become Heavenly Immortals, they could still leverage some of the world's powers, surpassing human limits.

In other words, even if they found Guanyin now, Li Changzhou and the others would not be a match for the opponent, only outside the opponent's Daoist Arena would they have a glimmer of hope.

The task was very difficult, Jigong and Guanyin were both good Arhats, good Bodhisattvas, Li Changzhou and his team felt like giving up.

But they couldn't.

The tasks were always hard, and the adversaries wouldn't always be villains. If they gave up this time, what would they do next time?

If they entertained the thought 'the task is too hard this time, let's switch to the next,' how would they take on future tasks?

"Let's lock them up for now," Li Changzhou told Turquoise Pool.

Before Bai Suzhen could speak, as Qing'er resisted, Turquoise Pool waved her hand, and suddenly one of the rooms inside the 'Treasure Horse Carriage' sucked the two of them in.

Thump~

The door shut automatically.

"Brother," Li Qianxia then spoke, "What if they truly don't know what to do?"

"What else can we do? Just let them go. We can't take them back to the modern times," Li Changzhou leaned back on a couch, recalling the battle he had just fought with Jigong.

"Oh, you were just scaring them?" Li Qianxia realized.

"You make it sound," Li Changzhou laughed, "as if your brother has become some demon who kills without blinking an eye."

"It's pouring in Lin'an City," Li Qianxia wore an expression that said 'and you say you're not a demon.'

Li Changzhou plucked a grape to eat, and while eating, he signalled Yang Qinglan with his eyes, "The heavy rain is her doing."

"I just brought heavy rain, didn't flood Lingyin Temple. Compared to the White Snake, I'm very mild," Yang Qinglan said.

"..." Li Qianxia couldn't argue with them.

"Should we head to the South Sea first?" Turquoise Pool, who controlled the driving, asked.

"Yeah," Li Changzhou nodded, "My Evernight City is in the South Sea. If we can find Guanyin, let's test the waters. If not, we go first to Evernight City to see what treasures Li Tang has left behind."

A dynasty's remnants, even if it's just bits and pieces, would still be a treasure trove for them.

It's a pity that the Great Song's fortune hasn't ended yet; otherwise, taking advantage of Tokyo's downfall to snatch something from the Imperial Palace could make a huge fortune, even if the task fails, it wouldn't be a total loss."

"May I ask Miss Yang of the Sui Dynasty, where is your family treasure?" Li Qianxia interviewed Yang Qinglan.

"I am it," Yang Qinglan gently smoothed her hair at her chest, a smile playing on her lips.

"...I suspect you're being narcissistic," Li Qianxia then turned to Turquoise Pool, "Princess Zhao, your dynasty is at its prime, your treasure must be the greatest among us, show us what you've got."

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan also looked at Turquoise Pool.

"Just an unfavored princess with nothing much," Turquoise Pool said with a smile, pulling out a piece of broken jade.

"What is this?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.

"A map," Turquoise Pool held the jade in her left hand, and with a gentle swipe of her right index finger over it, the image projected like a hologram in the middle of the hall.

A simple map, a red line steadily shortening, ending at a mountain.

"This is an island," Turquoise Pool pointed at the mountain, "one of the legendary Three Immortal Islands, Yingzhou, and this broken map can lead to Yingzhou Island and to the Eternal Spring on the island."

"Eternal Spring?" Li Qianxia was momentarily stunned, "The legendary spring that grants immortality if one drinks from it?"

"Could it be that exaggerated?" Turquoise Pool too wasn't sure and laughed a bit, "Perhaps it's just the Eternal Spring, keeping one youthful only."

"Even if it's just eternal youth, it's worth the trip," Li Changzhou straightened up.

Yang Qinglan nodded, "We might not need it, but we can trade it for other things."

The technological level of the Divine Will Great Wall is very high, but even so, the Eternal Spring still has a market, and it can almost be considered a solid commodity.

"The Three-Life Stone can also be used to exchange resources," Turquoise Pool said, "Many people are probably interested in their past lives and current lives."

"Speaking of which," Li Qian Xia looked at her older brother, "Li Two-Dogs, oh Li Two-Dogs, I never imagined your past life would involve your own sister... tsk tsk."

"Feudal superstition," Li Changzhou was unconvinced, "Buddhists cultivate virtue for the next life, while they themselves cultivate merits for transcendence in this life, all to either persuade people to be good, or as a means to swindle money. There's no such thing as past or future lives. Once you're dead, you dissolve into the cosmos, and reincarnation isn't you anyway."

"Hmm, that's true," Li Qianxia nodded, "In my last life you weren't my brother, and in my next life I won't be your sister, so they are not us."

"Qian Xia," Turquoise Pool suddenly smiled, "you should look into the Three-Life Stone, maybe that Li Biwei is you."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" Li Qianxia quickly refused, "That would just disgust me, don't make that joke! Let Qing Lan be Li Biwei instead."

"You're just trying to disgust your brother and me," Yang Qinglan laughed.

"... whether it's disgusting or exciting, who knows, you two played quite freely in your last lives."

The Treasure Horse Carriage galloped through the sea of clouds, heading towards the South Sea.

The sun set in the west, the night deepened, and each of them chose a bedroom to rest in.

Li Changzhou sat by the round window, gazing at the clouds and moonlight outside, pondering the battle that day.

This was truly the first time he counted engaging with a Human Immortal Level opponent, and even though Jigong had held back to avoid affecting the civilians, he still gained some insights.

These Buddhist cultivators, each had a Dragon Slayer Golden Body. Li Changzhou himself had a physical talent far surpassing any of them. If he could find a specific cultivation method focused on the physical body, it might bring him closer to achieving a fourth breakthrough in his physical form.

"Fragrant Leaf Crown" mainly taught Daoist laws, and while there were methods for cultivating the physical body, none were advanced enough.

He had to find a method.

He thought again of the Three-Life Stone, Li Biwei, and the string of beads left in the "Honey Pot World."

Sorting through his emotions, he became more resolute in his thoughts: regardless of whether it was his past life or not, what was past is past, and the present is what mattered most.

With that in mind, from now on, he would let no one disturb his peace with talk of past or future lives.

The carriage suddenly shuddered.

Li Changzhou immediately jumped through the window to the outside.

In the vast sea of clouds, countless lights flashed across the sky, nearly forming a bridge across heaven and earth. Concentrating his senses, each light was a cultivator.

At the very front of these countless lights, there was a small Human Immortal Level Jade Dragon.

The Jade Dragon spiraled, twisted, and then landed in front of Li Changzhou.

"Are you also here to help?" the voice of the Jade Dragon was crisp, like a young girl's.

"Yes," Li Changzhou answered.

"Good," the Jade Dragon nodded, "With a strong person like you, I feel more at ease. Keep up."

The Jade Dragon wove through the sky, flying back to the forefront of the bridge of light.

"What's going on?" Turquoise Pool stepped out of the carriage.

"Not sure," Li Changzhou sat in the driver's seat, flicking the whip, "Let's see what's going on; it might be something good."

"What good can it be?" Turquoise Pool sat beside him.

"Like hosting a Martial Arts Tournament, where I win in one fell swoop and become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance."

"Dream on. Let's ask someone."

Li Changzhou steered the "Treasure Horse Carriage" into the bridge of light, finding a swan.

"Brother, are you also here to help?" he asked.

The swan glanced at him and said in a female voice, "Who here hasn't been enlightened by the Bodhisattva Guanyin and is now going to the South Sea to assist?"

"...All of you are here to assist?"

"Aren't you?"

Li Changzhou looked forward, seeing no end, and looked back, also seeing no end.

"I am," he said.

They say that the righteous path lends plenty of support, but this is a bit too much!

And for a Bodhisattva like you, a high-ranking Earth Immortal, why call for helpers to fight!
