Chapter 1252 - 412: Celestial Master Slays the Mortal World Emperor at Penglai (Four-in-One - )

Chapter 1252: Chapter 412: Celestial Master Slays the Mortal World Emperor at Penglai (Four-in-One Chapter)

However, even so, the strength he could exert in actual combat was far beyond what an ordinary Mahayana monk of the Buddhist Sect could compare.

His insight, vision, and the subtlety of his Buddhist Law surpassed Jiang Kui, Xi Zhichang, and others.

Even if the two Grand Scholars of the Ming Dynasty joined forces, they would find it hard to rival him.

But as Zeng Kui and Xi Zhichang made preparations for the Gezhi sacrificial rite, they immediately bowed in unison.

"Yan Keji" immediately became solemn.

Because a shadow suddenly broke through the water from the sea and flew to the crowd.

The Ink Blade, which had earlier flown to an unknown place due to the chaotic time-space of the Penglai tide, suddenly reappeared.

"Han Qingtao, the traitor, specifically stole this treasure to deal with you?" Zeng Kui asked coldly.

With a slash of the Ink Blade, a large amount of Golden Glow immediately fell in mid-air, as if "Yan Keji" was spouting blood all over!

Lei Jun saw this scene from afar through the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror and had an epiphany.

He recalled hearing Xu Yuanzhen, Ji Dongquan, Ji Chuan, and others talking about the origins of the Ming Dynasty in the Mortal World.

The previous dynasty established by alien races, Great Qi, eventually had its foundation collapse, losing its territory.

At that time, many of the uprising participants came from the White Lotus Sect.

Although the Ming royal family now avoids mentioning that part of history, it is rumored that the founding emperor of Ming also came from the White Lotus Sect and once bore the title of Bright King.

However, after the formal establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they were deeply wary of the White Lotus Sect and vigorously cleaned them out.

Today, the White Lotus Sect is still prosperous and is considered a significant threat by the government.

From this perspective, the Ming government has accumulated and researched against the White Lotus Sect for many years.

The teachings of the White Lotus Sect differ from the Orthodox Buddhism of the Central Land.

However, their relations are closer than Western Regions Buddhism and Central Land Buddhism.

The treasure that was useless against Sumi significantly threatened "Yan Keji" before us.

Zeng Kui and Xi Zhichang, two Ninth Heavenly Layer Neo-Confucian Great Scholars, used this blade to fiercely slay the incarnation of a Venerable of the Buddhist Sect!

But, they couldn’t escape unscathed either.

Using the shattered incarnation as a guide, in the tumult of the void, it seemed a massive Buddhist palm transcended the barriers of time and space into Sumi.

The chanting of Zen suddenly grew louder at this moment.

Amidst the spreading golden light, Lei Jun’s Jade Pure All-Heaven Precious Mirror could only observe the general scene.

Xi Zhichang perished on the spot.

Fortunately, other strong individuals from the Ming were breaking into Penglai, which helped Zeng Kui save his life.

The void rift opened by the Buddhist palm and the void gateway between the Mortal Ming World and Penglai pressed against each other, causing intense turbulence.

The Buddhist palm retracted.

Zeng Kui and other Ming practitioners were also knocked out of Penglai.

With another shock of time-space, the Penglai Sea tide surged even more fiercely than before.

Is that coming from... the Saha World?

Lei Jun recalled the scene when the Buddhist palm extended.

In both the Saha World and Sumi, are there Honored Ones of the Buddhist Sect dormant?

Judging by the situation, the one in the Saha World seems more at ease than the Venerable Shan Zhihui of Sumi.

But still, it’s not without trouble.

Otherwise, it would have shown its holiness and walked the Mortal World long ago, rather than retracting immediately upon revealing the Buddhist palm.

It seems there’s an intention to imitate a high true figure of the Taoist Sect, to meddle in Penglai, yet it’s unclear if there’s another purpose.

Still, the current state is not proper, having its incarnation cut by the Ink Blade, the incarnation should not manifest for quite some time.

The changes in Penglai today indeed caught many off-guard... Lei Jun thought.

As he was pondering, the light of the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror resumed rotating, reflecting in this direction.

Under the mirror’s light, two figures were approaching the cave mansion from afar.

One was a female Taoist in simple clothes and straw shoes, while the other was a Taoist in a black robe and white attire.

They were unmistakably Han Qingtao and Li Hang.

"Yan Keji is from the Buddhist Sect!" Han Qingtao said in a deep voice.

When she first saw the transformation of the Ink Blade, she was surprised, but doubts soon arose in her mind.

She seized the Ink Blade only to be prepared while recovering the Crossing Void Shuttle, just in case.

As for the anticipated targets she was guarding against, they were the Abbot Guangshu of the Bodhi Temple or members of the Ming White Lotus Sect.

Never expected, due to twists of fate, that Yan Keji would actually...

Li Hang suddenly stopped: "Is this near one of your cave mansions?"

Han Qingtao: "It’s not safe to stay here for long, we’ll have to abandon it."

As she spoke, she messaged Zhuang Changfeng and the others from the Mortal Tao Country inside the cave mansion.

Li Hang was about to say something when his expression changed again.

A tall young Taoist dressed in a Nine-colored Pari Robe, wearing a White Jade Seal and wielding a Purple Thunder Sword, drifted over and almost in an instant appeared before the two of them.

Centered on him, a massive black sphere like a cosmic body appeared, expanding in all directions, swallowing the surrounding void.

Experienced in countless battles, Li Hang and Han Qingtao had no time for more words and immediately dodged in different directions to avoid being captured by the Great Vehicle Taoist Scene of a Talisman Sect practitioner.

Unfortunately, the newcomer’s speed was too fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Though Li Hang evaded in time, he was still engulfed by the expanding cosmic expanse.

Han Qingtao immediately united with her life-bound magic treasure, the Taiyi Breakthrough Sword, utilizing the Immortal Soul Sword Skill.

The seven-foot giant sword flashed with cold light, seemingly slicing through the void and teleporting away from its original place in an instant.

Such speed was even beyond the reach of a Talisman Sect expert’s Great Vehicle Taoist Scene to capture.

However...

Celestial Master Lei watched the fleeting sword light calmly.

A golden faint star glow enveloped him, with purple and black thunder lights intertwining like dragons.

With a single step, he too seemed to teleport, instantaneously catching up to Han Qingtao fleeing with the sword.
