Chapter 664 - 29: Buddhist Nemesis?

Chapter 664: Chapter 29: Buddhist Nemesis?

The next morning, as the steel aircraft carrier set sail once more.

All the Longbo Giants gathered at the edge of the island, seeing off Li Boyang and Xiluo.

Among them, Qing Yue and Luo Qiao were the most sorrowful.

Especially Luo Qiao, who looked at the gradually receding silhouette of the carrier, his face filled with nostalgia and reluctance.

On the contrary, Yao Xi, one of the three siblings, though grateful for the changes Li Boyang and Xiluo had brought to the Longbo Giants, maintained a sense of vigilance and calm.

After all, Qing Yue and Luo Qiao could ignore matters of the clan, but as a Priest, Yao Xi did not have that luxury.

Especially in the coming period, Yao Xi was responsible for transforming the "Heaven and Earth Net" formation left by Ying Long into a real barrier to welcome the arrival of the Mountain People.

Having lost the dominant position, what Yao Xi needed to do was to strive for sufficient benefits for the Longbo Giants within the framework.

Although this was difficult, it was precisely the Priest’s duty.

As a realist, Yao Xi would not place all hope on the mercy of the Mountain People.

If necessary, for the benefit of the Longbo Giants, confronting those Mountain People and even Ying Long was also Yao Xi’s responsibility.

At least, that’s what Yao Xi believed.

The High Priest had too strong a filter for the East Sea God; Yao Xi did not share such a strong filter.

Perhaps, this was also an important reason why the High Priest chose Yao Xi as their successor without hesitation!

"So, are we not heading east anymore?"

Quietly lying on Li Boyang’s head, Xiluo lazily wagged her tail while curiously lowering her head to ask.

At this moment, the steel aircraft carrier had turned towards the inland area, which obviously did not align with the route initially set by the two.

"There’s nothing much to explore in the east anymore. Don’t you want to see the Great Xia and Kunlun?"

Upon hearing this, Xiluo immediately understood.

"It’s for that Buddha head, right?"

It was evident that Xiluo had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Xujia and Luo Qiao yesterday.

The headless Buddha statue of Biyou Palace lacked a head.

Only after absorbing sufficient Sword Qi and Thunder Power did it regenerate the Buddha head and dragon wings.

Then the question arises, since the headless Buddha statue was born from Amitabha, it could not originally have been in a headless form.

Thus, where did that head go became a big mystery?

Unfortunately, Xujia had not actively mentioned the whereabouts of that Buddha head.

This left the curious Xiluo fretful and restless the whole night.

"Could it be that the Buddha head is involved in some major event?"

Slightly suspicious, Xiluo glanced at Li Boyang, feeling that even if this wasn’t a big deal initially, his involvement would certainly make it one.

This was a tacit understanding developed over their long-term interaction.

"Hehe, let’s have Xujia tell you about this!"

Turning his head to look at Xujia behind him, Li Boyang raised an eyebrow and said.

Standing respectfully behind Li Boyang and Xiluo, Xujia, who had been trying to minimize his presence, raised his head in slight astonishment.

He obviously did not expect the conversation to eventually turn to him.

"Well, it’s actually not as complicated as you might think..."

Hesitating to speak, Xujia, still unfamiliar with Xiluo’s personality, explained.

......................................................

Xujia collected fragments of spiritual jade in the realm of the Four Seas and Eight Desolates to access the mirror dimension.

If you say such an action is low-key, that’s obviously impossible.

Not to mention, the fragments of spiritual jade themselves hold mystical properties, and it is impossible for other beings or Gods not to notice them.

To obtain the spiritual jade from their hands, Xujia employed a combination of rewards and threats, using all sorts of methods.

Relying on his "Golden Body of Eighteen Feet," which was indestructible and swift across vast distances.

Xujia could advance with attacks or retreat defensively; most Celestial Gods had little means against him.

Not to mention, Xujia had never been someone who rested on his laurels; he also grew rapidly at a visible pace during this process.

Initially, the Celestial Gods had simply not been able to deal with Xujia.

But as time went by, almost all the Celestial Gods who had interacted with him admitted that Xujia was astonishingly surpassing himself.

Essence, Qi, Spirit, and Heart were the four Divine Gate Celestial Passes.

Breaking through any one of these meant the cultivator was exceeding the realm of Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation.

However, for Xujia, the Heart Path seemed without a threshold, easily crossing the Divine Gate and reaching the Celestial Pass.

Unfortunately, this was Xujia’s limit.

Or more accurately, it was the limit of Amitabha’s inheritance.

If Xujia continued further, he would only inherit the "Path of Guidance" of Amitabha, becoming an avatar for its rebirth.

Even though Xujia at the time was unaware of Amitabha’s existence, he faintly sensed that it was not his path, and he should not continue on it.

It was at this time that someone set their sights on Xujia.

This person did not come for the spiritual jade but specifically for Xujia.

Xujia had clashed with them multiple times but could never ascertain their true nature or origin.

The only certainty was that their methods were bizarre, and their forms ever-changing, making it unlikely they were a God, or even a conventional cultivator.

In just a few encounters, Xujia saw the opponent in more than one form.

Sometimes as a Three-Headed Six-Armed Ghost God...

Sometimes as a Two-Faced Eight-Armed Demon God...

Sometimes as a Beast-Headed Human-Bodied Evil God...

Initially, Xujia didn’t even associate them as a single entity but saw them all as beings trying to snatch the spiritual jade fragments.

But after multiple encounters, Xujia realized they were not aiming for the spiritual jade, their attacks were directed at him.

This confirmed Xujia’s suspicion — this guy was purely targeting him.

Unfortunately, this guy was no match for Xujia.

Especially as Xujia’s strength steadily increased and his attacks became more ruthless, the opponent sensibly ceased to appear.

Until Amitabha, leveraging the spiritual jade, manifested a Buddha form, attempting to enlighten Xujia.

But Xujia still wholeheartedly wanted to reach the mirror dimension, to the point of breaking ties with it.

Subsequently, the Buddha statue was decapitated under the power of the mirror dimension, and Xujia, at the brink of death, was guided back to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

And the one who had long been lurking seized the opportunity to take away the Buddha statue’s head.

Hence, Xujia also roughly guessed their motive.

Their interest had never been in him, but in the power of Amitabha.
