Chapter 146 - 135: Creating a Technique in 10 Days, Thinking About Marrow Cleansing

Chapter 146: Chapter 135: Creating a Technique in 10 Days, Thinking About Marrow Cleansing

Before bookshelves piled high with Buddhist Scriptures, Chen Sha stood facing a white-capped nun.

His expression trembled slightly. "You are the one who created the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell?"

In that moment, too many connections flashed through his mind. Zhang Daoxuan’s Jade Emperor Tower, Chen Fuyao’s Great Yellow Court, and now, even a Qi Curse from the Buddhist Sect of the Divine Land World originated from this Great Vajra Ascender of the Ninth Tribulation Era standing right before him.

He wondered, "The Ninth Tribulation?

"Could this be the past history of the Divine Land?

"But why are there no records of it in the historical annals? None of these legendary figures left behind even a single word or name."

Sister Taie looked at Chen Sha with a hint of confusion. "Indeed. This Curse Skill was created by me after contemplating the Ksitigarbha Sutra of Life and Death. The so-called ’Mid-Yin’ refers to a state in our Buddhist Sect before a life is reincarnated—a state of being about to be born but not yet born, seemingly dead but not dead. If a Cultivator can achieve this state during Meditation, they can reach the state of Perfection in the Meditation Realm. However, I created this Curse Skill barely a few months ago. Even my Buddhist friends in the Little Blissful Sacred Land have never heard of it. How could you have such foresight, layman?"

Hearing that the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell was created by Sister Taie at this current stage less than a few months ago, Chen Sha’s mind raced with even more associations.

How should he explain?

He had no intention of explaining anything. He simply looked at Sister Taie and said, "Let’s put that question aside for now. I only want to ask you, Divine Nun: if someone from the Buddhist Sect learned your Curse Skill and planted it on a pregnant woman with the intent to eradicate the child in her womb, but unexpectedly, the woman still gave birth to the child—the woman died, and the child, due to the effects of the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell, was born lacking intelligence and with a body much smaller than her peers—is there a way to save her?"

Sister Taie looked at Chen Sha in bewilderment. "What are you talking about, layman?"

Chen Sha only asked, "How can one save this person affected by the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell?"

For a moment, Sister Taie simply gazed at Chen Sha.

Various flashes of thought flickered in those weathered eyes filled with the wisdom of Buddhist Techniques. She seemed to be striving to understand what Chen Sha was trying to convey, as well as attempting to determine why he would say such things.

How could a Skill she had created less than two months ago be reduced to a dark art used by someone in the Buddhist Sect to harm others? Not to mention, in this story, it even killed a pregnant woman...

How could someone of the Buddhist Sect do something so devilish?

However, Chen Sha repeated his question. "Is there a way to save her?"

Sister Taie slowly closed her eyes. "I never imagined that the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell could be used to kill. But if such a thing truly happened, please describe the suffering child’s symptoms in detail. Only then can I figure out how to save her."

Hearing this, Chen Sha breathed a sigh of relief. This proved that his judgment of the Divine Nun’s character during the previous scene trials was correct.

She was, after all, a genuine cultivator of Buddhism who painstakingly devoted herself to scripture.

Even if he didn’t state the real reason, a "genuine" cultivator of Buddhism would naturally harbor compassion and kindness. Saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda; she would not ignore it.

Chen Sha subsequently explained Gu Lingling’s specific symptoms.

Upon hearing them, Sister Taie fell into deep thought.

"If this child has already grown up, the Qi Curse has penetrated deep into her flesh and blood. To resolve it... perhaps..." She glanced at Chen Sha and said, "Layman, give me ten days. I need to re-cultivate the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell for a while. Perhaps I can find a solution through it..."

"I can wait even a year," Chen Sha replied softly.

Within these Cosmic Light Fragments, time hardly flowed relative to the outside world. Let alone a year, he could afford to wait even ten or a hundred years.

Ten days flashed by in the Cosmic Light Fragments.

During this period, Chen Sha sat cross-legged in the Paradise Scripture Tower. He had no interest in Buddhist Scriptures, so he took this time to comprehend the remaining thirteen gods within his body.

Of the Twenty-four Gods of the Yellow Court, he had already cultivated eleven.

If all Twenty-four Gods reached Great Success, with his Cultivation Technique and Qi Power, the sheer number of fused Martial Arts would make him even more terrifying and powerful than his father, Chen Canxuan, on an equal foundation.

Suddenly, Chen Sha opened his eyes, watching Sister Taie walk toward him after ten days.

In those ten days, the white-clad nun seemed to have undergone extremely exhausting contemplation, so much so that more wrinkles had formed between her brows. Seeing Chen Sha still waiting there, she softly spoke, "During these ten days, building upon the foundation of the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell, I have newly created a ’Karma Receiving Spell’. With this Qi Curse, you can have another person bear the consequences of physical and intellectual atrophy on behalf of the child in your story. It is equivalent to transferring one person’s affliction onto another."

Chen Sha was incredibly shocked upon hearing this.

To think she could create a Superior Martial Art Qi Curse within just ten days!

According to Bi Yunxiao, the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell was an exceptionally superior Innate Level Martial Art within the Buddhist Sect, yet this Divine Nun only took ten days to...

She was truly worthy of being the first person in the True Realm’s Ninth Tribulation Era to ascend to the Immortal Realm through the Great Vajra Realm.

But Sister Taie had not finished speaking.

"To achieve the Karma of the Physical Body that I described, there is a crucial condition. It is best if the person who personally cast the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell bears the karma in the child’s stead. Because the Qi Power within that child inherently belongs to the curse-caster, they are the most suitable candidate to cultivate the Karma Receiving Spell."

Hearing this, Chen Sha slightly raised his head. "Thank you for your guidance, Divine Nun."

Sister Taie sighed. "Though I do not know why you told such a story, since this Qi Curse has been created, I shall impart it to you. If... there truly is such a demonic person in our Buddhist Sect, I hope you can eradicate that demon on our behalf, layman."

Saying so, she imparted the secret cultivation text of the Karma Receiving Spell to Chen Sha.

Chen Sha looked at the Divine Nun and bowed with clasped hands. "Your profound virtue, Divine Nun. If we ever meet again in the future, this junior will surely repay you handsomely..."

"The future..." Sister Taie murmured to herself.

Then, she watched as Chen Sha’s body vanished from his spot right after he bowed.

Her expression was filled with astonishment.

Then, in the very next instant, everything within this Cosmic Light Fragment rewound. Along with the astonished Sister Taie, everything reverted to the time before it all began.

***

WHOOSH.

Chen Sha withdrew his Heart Spirit from behind the Southern Heavenly Gate and opened his eyes within the Jade Capital Temple.

Recalling the Karma Receiving Spell in his mind, he muttered to himself, "The curse-caster..."

He then stood up and walked out of the room.

He coincidentally heard Mu Hongfu crying from where Gu Lingling was. Startled, he thought to himself, "Could it be that my blood marrow isn’t a match?"

He immediately walked into the other room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Mu Hongfu looking at him with excitement. "Sect Leader Chen, Lingling is saved!"

Chen Sha immediately looked at Chang Xi in the room.

Chang Xi smiled and nodded at him. "It works."

Only then did Chen Sha realize that Mu Hongfu was crying tears of joy. She had pinned her last hope on him, and finally, his blood marrow did not disappoint her.

But he wanted to share an even better piece of news with her. "Regarding the consequences of the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell on Lingling, I have also found a solution."

Instantly, everyone present looked deeply shocked. 𝖋𝙧ⅇ

Chang Xi blinked, looking at Chen Sha curiously. "Junior Brother Chen, what is your solution?"

They were all baffled.

He had merely gone into his room to think for a while and had already come up with a solution? Was it truly that miraculous?

Chen Sha only replied, "You will know when the time comes. Before that, help Lingling change her marrow first. Once it’s successful, Lady Mu can take her back to the Yuan Country to wait for me..."

Saying this, he looked at Yu Miaolian, Zhang Liting, and his two disciples. "You guys should go along with them as well. Wait for me in the Yuan Country. I want you all to arrive a few days later."

Yu Miaolian asked in confusion, "Then what about you, Sect Leader?"

"Before that, I need to make a trip to the Celestial Demon Sect," Chen Sha said. "If Lingling’s marrow replacement is successful, her life will no longer be in immediate danger. She will just need to wait for me in the Yuan Country to help her undo the power of the evil curse. But since I already have a solution for this, there’s no need to rush. Furthermore, I had planned from the beginning to visit my mother at the Celestial Demon Sect first. After all, the Celestial Demon Sect is part of the Demon Sect. It wouldn’t be convenient to bring the four of you along. It’s best if I go alone."

Hearing Chen Sha say that he needed to visit the Celestial Demon Sect first, both Yu Miaolian and Zhang Liting expressed their understanding. This woman was their true master’s wife. She had been injured in the battle against Long Zaitian not long ago, so one of Chen Sha’s purposes for descending the mountain was likely to visit her.

However, the other two beautiful women present, Bi Yunxiao and Mu Hongfu, clearly had a change in expression upon hearing the mention of the Celestial Demon Sect.

This was especially true for Mu Hongfu, who had even been hunted down by the Demon Queen for a period of time in the past.

But now, looking at Chen Sha, Mu Hongfu couldn’t muster any hatred toward Yun Shouxuan at all.

Gu Lingling was saved, and it was because of Chen Sha.

This made her even feel a sense of gratitude toward Yun Shouxuan, who had once pursued her.

For Mu Hongfu, her purpose in seeking out Chen Sha was only to cure the terminal decaying blood disease plaguing Gu Lingling. She never expected to truly find hope. What was more, the incredibly resourceful Chen Sha even claimed he could cure Lingling’s congenital deficiency.

Although he was nominally Lingling’s half-brother, they had never met before.

Yet he was willing to go to such lengths...

Watching Mu Hongfu’s grateful expression, Chen Sha could guess what she was thinking and couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.

This was hardly something incomprehensible.

He had always only been ruthless toward his enemies.

If someone had no grudges or enmity with him, he naturally wouldn’t actively dislike them. Moreover, this was one of the sisters left behind by his old man, seeking him out on the verge of death.

He believed that in any ordinary family, anyone with a conscience would not leave their family members to die when faced with a terminal illness.

Birth, aging, illness, and death accompanied everyone throughout their lives. Who could avoid getting sick?

And when one was sick, they could only rely on their family.

If they didn’t rely on their family, who else could they rely on?

***

Next, Chang Xi began to prepare for Gu Lingling’s marrow replacement.

At Chen Sha’s realm, his manipulation over his own blood and marrow had reached a level unattainable by ordinary people. With just a relaxed thought, drops of blood marrow fell into the small vial in Chang Xi’s hand.

"You don’t need to give that much," Chang Xi said with a frown. "Even if you are a Great Innate, blood marrow is still very precious."

Chen Sha remained silent.

To him, this small amount of blood marrow wouldn’t damage his body at all. If he were to successfully cultivate the Marrow Spirit Cover in the future, it would be even less of an issue.

Thinking of this, Chen Sha mused inwardly, "It seems the Buddhist Sect has a Martial Scripture called the Sutra of Marrow Cleansing."

He would first visit the Celestial Demon Sect, and then head to the Water Moon Temple. When the time came, he had to make them bring that scripture out for him to see.
