What If I Can't Die?

309 Fated with Buddha

Along the way east, the Supreme Yang True Fire on Song Shi’s body became more and more exuberant. The power of the sun within a radius of one hundred thousand feet was absorbed, revealing a huge circle of light. It looked especially mystical, as if the Sun God had descended.

Cultivating under the sun could not only easily condense the Supreme Yang True Fire and strengthen his Nomological power, Nascent Fire, and Physique, but Song Shi also discovered that it was helpful for cultivating the Acalanātha Body.

The yin and yang energies in his body were also growing and nourishing his body, strengthening his origin.

For a moment, Song Shi’s strength improved again. It was not much, but he was steadily approaching the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

The distance between the Nether City and the Imperial City was eighty thousand kilometers. In his previous life, this distance meant that he could circle around Earth. But in this cultivation world, it was only the distance from the border to the Imperial City.

The journey took a lot of time. Song Shi was basically cultivating the whole way.

Bai Yu’er had nothing to do and interrogated Perfected Lord Demon Slayer for some information to prepare for the upcoming operation.

After ‘prying open’ Perfected Lord Demon Slayer’s mouth, Bai Yu’er drew a map of the Imperial City and handed it to Song Shi. “Young Master, you can take a look first and make sure you know what to do.”

Song Shi, who was glowing, took a look and noted it down. He praised, “You’re very cautious.”

“Young Master, the nest of Great Qian is guarded by Numinous treasures. We cannot underestimate them.”

Bai Yu’er was still rather solemn.

Upon hearing about Numinous treasures, Song Shi paid more attention. “If there’s any danger, you can leave first. I have a way to deal with it.”

Just as Bai Yu’er was about to say something, the sound of a bell could be heard from afar.

Focusing, he saw an ancient yellow ship flying in the white clouds. The clouds were dense, and it looked like it was floating in the sea.

There was a huge swastika engraved on the bow of the ship. There was also the sound of Buddha flowing as the sound of the alms bowl being knocked rhythmically sounded, bringing with it a calming charm.

The entire Buddhist boat was filled with Buddhist light that spread out in circles. It was holy and peaceful, like a huge Buddha passing by.

“Eh? I didn’t expect to meet someone from the Buddhist Sect in such a remote place.”

Under the influence of Song Shi’s circulating Acalanātha Body, the owner of the Buddhist boat revealed a look of surprise. He mistakenly thought that Song Shi was really a Buddhist.

Coupled with the light of the Supreme Yang True Fire, the Acalanātha Body indeed make him look like a Buddhist monk.

He took a few glances and said in surprise, “I’ve never seen him before. Which Buddhist Sect is he from?”

Changing his direction slightly, the owner was curious and prepared to visit his fellow companions along the way.

Opposite him, Song Shi also sensed the Buddhist light illuminating the world. A Buddhist boat was constantly approaching him.

“Monks again.”

Bai Yu’er frowned. She had only caught one of their subordinate. Why was there a bunch of them? Could it be that they were here to save someone?

“It means that we are fated with Buddha.”

Song Shi smiled meaningfully.

The Buddhist boat quickly approached. One of the old monks opened his eyes and looked disappointed when he saw Song Shi and Bai Yu’er.

“I thought I met a fellow cultivator, but it turns out that it’s an evil person pretending to be a Buddha. He’s really a misleading person.”

Bai Yu’er was displeased, “Bald donkey Sheng Ming, watch your mouth.”

She clearly knew this monk and secretly introduced him. “Young Master, this old monk is the abbot of the Great Light Temple in Sand Country, Venerable Sheng Ming. Some demons once went to the Great Light Temple to cause trouble and in the end, he was the one who dealt with the guy who became their watchdog. His Great Light Buddhist Dharma is very powerful.”

“Oh, a top-notch expert in the Buddhist world. I didn’t expect to meet him here.”

Song Shi was surprised.

At this moment, a young monk walked out and pressed his palms together. “Master, this person is the Blood-Robed old ghost who caused a ruckus in the Immortal opportunity meeting.”

“No wonder he’s so fierce and murderous.”

The Sacred Venerable nodded and said, “Put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Can the two of you follow me to the Great Light Temple to study Buddhism?”

Song Shi was speechless.

These guys liked to persuade people to convert to Buddhism? Could it be that there were benefits to converting people?

“Young Master, if you become a believer, their Dharma will become more profound. The stronger the faith of the believer, the stronger their Dharma will be.”

Bai Yu’er answered Song Shi’s question.

Song Shi curled his lips. “Why go to the Great Light Temple? If you follow me, it will be more convenient for you to teach me Buddhism every day.”

“Benefactor, your hostility is too strong. Why don’t you cultivate your character with me first?”

The Sacred Venerable smiled, “You can become a Buddha faster if you wash away your hostility.”

Song Shi held Bai Yu’er’s hand and walked out. He chuckled. “That makes sense. The few of you, follow me and help me neutralize my hostility. Yu’er, attack!”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Bai Yu’er smiled charmingly and no longer hid her cultivation. She directly released the terrifying pressure of the late-stage Soul Transformation realm.

However, the face of the Early-stage Soul Transformation Sacred Venerate twitched. “Amitabha. I remember that I still have something important to do. I’ll discuss the Buddhist Dharma with the two of you in the future.”

Initially, he thought that Bai Yu’er was just an ordinary maid. No matter how powerful the Blood-Robed old ghost was, he was only at the Nascent Soul realm. He wanted to take him in, but he did not expect Bai Yu’er to be so powerful.

“Too late.”

Song Shi grinned and unleashed a terrifying strength that was not inferior to a mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator. The expressions of all the monks opposite him changed.

RUMBLE!

With a loud bang, the battle ended quickly. Perfected Lord Demon Slayer could only lament in his heart when he saw his fellow Daoists beside him.

At least he wasn’t lonely anymore.

A few days later.

Great Qian Imperial City.

As the capital of a country, it was naturally majestic in all aspects. The atmosphere was extraordinary and prosperous. It was as if the wars in the other prefectures had nothing to do with it.

Near the wilderness, the Imperial City seemed peaceful but when they approached, a huge commotion was stirred up.

On this day, the Void outside the Imperial City suddenly became much brighter. The people on the way looked up in confusion. Soon, their pupils constricted and they revealed shocked expressions.

“What… what’s going on?”

“Why are there two suns in the sky? Could it be that there’s an ominous sign?!”

Wherever the light touched, people cried out in alarm. Looking at the extra sun in the sky, their expressions became uneasy.

This was because the phenomenon caused by Song Shi’s cultivation was too great. It directly formed a huge sun in the sky.

As it was closer to the ground, the phenomenon of the sun in the sky was even more imposing than the real sun. However in reality, Song Shi was far from being comparable to the sun.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Among the guards of the Imperial City, cultivators flew out with vigilance and waited.

One of the people in golden armor landed on the city gate and said loudly, “I wonder which fellow Daoist is in the sky. Outsiders of the Imperial City are traveling in the sky. Please come down and fly after obtaining the pass.”

High in the sky, in the Buddhist boat, Bai Yu’er hesitated. “Young Master, do we have to be so high-profile? They might not even give us a chance to enter the city.”

“Who said we’re going in like this? Aren’t we asking for a beating like this?”

Song Shi chuckled. “We will disguise ourselves. Let’s go in first. When the time comes, we’ll be prepared. It’s more suitable for action this way.”

“I understand. Young Master wants to use his fake identity to attract attention and make it convenient for the real him to act secretly.”

Bai Yu’er guessed some of Song Shi’s motives and came to a realization.

The Imperial City was heavily guarded. If they approached with their original appearance, they probably wouldn’t be able to enter. If they sneaked in, any movement might attract the attention of the entire Imperial City.

Now that they had a disguise, they could more or less divert some attention away.

The next moment, Song Shi’s flesh and bones squirmed and he transformed into an old monk. It was the appearance of the Venerable Sheng Ming.
