Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

The Jile Heavenly Girl stepped on multicolored clouds; her flawless face was edged with gold under the sunlight, exuding purity, yet her outfit, though not revealing, highlighted her figure, each curve seemingly carved meticulously by the Heavenly Dao, inciting desire at first sight.

But the Eastern Glazed Buddha was filled with rage.

"You rebellious disciple of the Turquoise Pool, how dare you aspire to the position of Future Buddha?"

He had evidently not expected the boomerang to return so swiftly and shouted angrily at the Jile Heavenly Girl.

A light gold blood oozed at the corner of his mouth, with cobweb-like cracks on the Dharma Image behind him, clearly indicating serious injury.

He wasn’t foolish and naturally understood the purpose of Jile Heavenly Girl’s sneak attack.

Jile Heavenly Girl chuckled softly, "I am also a disciple of Leiyin Temple. Why can’t I be the Future Buddha?"

"Wishful thinking!"

The Eastern Glazed Buddha wiped the gold blood from his mouth, pointed at the bronze lotus lamp, and the lamp reignited, enveloping him. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, secretly utilizing his immortal power to heal his wounds while stalling for time, saying:

"Do you assume we are completely unprepared for you?"

"Oh?"

"Do you know the true decree of the Ancestor Master?"

Jile Heavenly Girl blinked, her face curious, her tone clear: "I’m eager to hear more."

"Only those who practice the Leiyin Skill and propagate the Buddhist Law can become the Future Buddha."

"We have never taught you the Leiyin Skill; you don’t even have a Dharma Image. The seat of Future Buddha has nothing to do with you! You’re always an outsider!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Jile Heavenly Girl pursed her lips, seemingly at a loss for words.

Seeing her like this, the Eastern Glazed Buddha felt a surge of joy, and pretended to be magnanimous, "I know, Jile, you are also eager in pursuit of the Dao. I will not hold this matter against you."

"Is Buddha really so magnanimous?"

"Now, in Leiyin Temple, only you and I remain as Golden Immortals. Once I achieve the Dao, you will be the only remaining Golden Immortal." At this, the Eastern Glazed Buddha sighed, seemingly worried, "How could we continue this mutual slaughter?"

"In the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, Buddha did not show such fellowship towards fellow disciples."

"You..."

The Eastern Glazed Buddha suddenly raised his head, seeing the Jile Heavenly Girl looking at him with a smile. That gaze seemed to penetrate his lungs, seeing through all his thoughts clearly.

"So, the slap I gave, Buddha couldn’t bear it."

The Eastern Glazed Buddha’s expression slightly changed, and another small mouthful of gold blood surged out from between his teeth.

"Wretched courtesan!" He opened his mouth, spitting out clotted blood, and cursed, "I have the lotus lamp bestowed by the Ancestor Master; do you still wish to kill me?"

Jile Heavenly Girl frowned slightly, her tone even somewhat aggrieved, "Could Buddha have misjudged me? How could I harm my fellow disciples?"

The Eastern Glazed Buddha was surprised by this, "What exactly do you want?"

"The very words Buddha just uttered are what I wish to say."

"What..."

A flash of insight occurred to the Eastern Glazed Buddha, and he suddenly understood, "You want me to surrender to you? To assist you in becoming the Future Buddha?"

Jile Heavenly Girl nodded with a smile.

"I said, you can’t become the Future Buddha!" The Eastern Glazed Buddha snorted coldly.

Jile Heavenly Girl laughed, and from the colorful clouds underfoot slowly emerged a Dharma Image of an extraordinarily beautiful, unrecognizable Heavenly Maiden.

"Where did you get the Leiyin Skill?" The Eastern Glazed Buddha’s eyes widened.

"Naturally, it was passed down by the World Honored One."

"Lu Yao?" The Eastern Glazed Buddha’s expression changed repeatedly and fell silent.

"So? Can I claim the position of Future Buddha?"

"..."

"Is Buddha still unyielding?"

Jile Heavenly Girl slowly withdrew her smile.

The Eastern Glazed Buddha felt no fear; though injured now, he had attained the Dao millions of years earlier than Jile Heavenly Girl, with far more profound cultivation.

More importantly, he held the lotus lamp bestowed by the Ancestor Master, so even if he couldn’t win, the Jile Heavenly Girl couldn’t harm him.

As long as he escaped today, the outcome was still uncertain.

Jile Heavenly Girl sneered, "Is Buddha obstinately ignorant?"

Eastern Glazed Buddha joined his palms and remained silent, or rather, his silence was his response.

Jile Heavenly Girl suddenly started laughing, and this laughter suddenly made the Eastern Glazed Buddha uneasy in his heart.

Looking down suddenly, he saw his chest and abdomen emerge with a face—it was Jile Heavenly Girl’s face!

This exceptionally beautiful face was utterly terrifying in his heart.

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

He called out in his shock.

The answer to him was the enchanting music of the entire West Continent, the chants resounding from the major Buddhist temples across the West Continent.

This uniform chanting reached his ears, and what he heard was countless people reciting in unison, "Chant my true name, and ascend to Paradise."

The Eastern Glazed Buddha looked on in horror to see that even in the Buddhist temples that were originally his, they were singing praises to Jile’s name.

"Is it the Paradise Fragrance?"

The momentum on Jile Heavenly Girl’s body was gradually rising, as she absorbed all the vast incense of the West Continent, seemingly causing her cultivation to soar.

"Of course...otherwise, why would I gift you the Secret Technique of Paradise Fragrance?"

The Eastern Glazed Buddha’s expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

...

"The Turquoise Pool has indeed produced a talent."

In the distance, the Maitreya Body sighed.

He and Qingnv had transformed, one into a breeze, the other into a white cloud, looking far into the internal strife between Jile Heavenly Girl and the Eastern Glazed Buddha.

Qingnv’s tone was also very complicated, "We didn’t expect in her early years...she harbored such deep schemes."

"Lu Yao’s selection of this girl was probably not a casual act either."

Despite her frustration, Qingnv replied, "Originally, we were here to block her..."

The Maitreya Body also shook his head.

The Heavenly Emperor Body never intended to spare the Eastern Glazed Buddha, they planned that once his guard was down, the two would join forces in a surprise attack to capture him.

After which, only three Golden Immortals would remain in the West Continent, naturally giving them the upper hand.

Yet unexpectedly, the Jile Heavenly Girl suddenly appeared and stole the spotlight.

The problem is, this girl now seems to have become a great force in the West Continent, with cultivation far stronger than the average Golden Immortal.
