Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 966 - 964: The Supreme Venerable at the Pinnacle, Pointing the Sword at Spirit Mountain!

Chapter 966: Chapter 964: The Supreme Venerable at the Pinnacle, Pointing the Sword at Spirit Mountain!

The vast Shaolin Temple had been reduced to ruins.

The venerable Mount Shaoshi, with its thousands of years of heritage, had now become an Asura Ghost Domain, pervaded with the stench of blood and the aura of death.

The four Shaolin ancestors respectfully followed behind Xiao Yi.

Each one maintained a reverent posture, not daring to show the slightest disobedience or violation.

Xiao Yi had long known about the dispute of the five ancestors of Shaolin Temple; they had driven Supreme Shakya out of the Western Province due to conflicting ideals. However, this was not a big deal for him. Since the four had chosen to submit to him, he naturally would not trouble them further.

"Prajna!"

Xiao Yi spoke indifferently.

"Your subordinate is here!"

The Primordial Spirit of Prajna Supreme flew forward, looking at Xiao Yi with respect, "Buddha King, please give your command!"

This was the strongest among the four ancestors of Shaolin.

He was already truly and wholeheartedly submissive.

Xiao Yi hummed with satisfaction. This was indeed Prajna Supreme’s sincere submission. If there were even a sliver of disloyalty in him, he would have been reduced to ashes by now. Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "Your physical body has been destroyed, and it is not a long-term solution to exist in the form of a Primordial Spirit."

"Reporting back to Buddha King, it is an unparalleled honor to follow by the Buddha King’s side. Your subordinate dare not ask for more!" Prajna Supreme hurriedly said.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Rest assured, since you have chosen to follow me, I naturally cannot mistreat you." After pausing, Xiao Yi continued, "Here, ten source stones can keep your Primordial Spirit’s fire from extinguishing for a hundred years. When I have the time, I will take you to Spirit Mountain. If we encounter any who would block our way, you choose one, I will slay him and give you his body!"

Hiss!

Prajna Supreme gasped.

Was Xiao Yi planning to ascend Spirit Mountain to kill?

And...

To let him choose the target himself?

Even though Prajna Supreme had immense faith in Xiao Yi’s strength, he still could not believe that the current Xiao Yi had the capability to ascend and kill on Spirit Mountain!

Seeing Prajna Supreme’s hesitation, Xiao Yi said indifferently, "You can take your time to consider!"

Prajna Supreme promptly responded, "Your subordinate will obey!"

Veda Supreme, standing to the side, hesitated, unsure whether to speak.

Xiao Yi said, "Veda, do you have something to say?"

Of the four Shaolin ancestors, he had the fondest opinion of Veda Supreme.

Originally.

When Xiao Yi first came to Shaolin Temple and became the Buddha King, discussing the attack on Celestial Dragon Temple with the four ancestors, it was Veda Supreme who was the first to choose to support him. Moreover, over the years, among the four ancestors of Shaolin Temple, only Veda Supreme harbored a lingering concern about driving away Supreme Shakya.

Veda Supreme gave a bitter smile and said, "Buddha King, your subordinate is just worried about the retaliation from the Buddha Mother..."

The other three also showed solemn expressions.

Lotus Buddha Mother and the actual Buddha Mother, these were two entirely different concepts.

Ten thousand Lotus Buddha Mothers could not compare to a single actual Buddha Mother!

Xiao Yi replied indifferently, "Don’t worry, the Buddha Mother won’t make a move!"

"Eh?"

All four were startled.

Xiao Yi squinted, gazing toward Spirit Mountain with unyielding determination: "He definitely won’t make a move!"

The four exchanged glances.

They really didn’t understand why Xiao Yi was so confident that the Buddha Mother wouldn’t make a move. After all, slaying the Lotus Buddha Mother’s Dharmakaya was a direct affront to the Buddha Mother’s honor—could he really restrain himself from acting?

"The esteemed Buddha Mother sending out a Dharmakaya to deal with me was already an act of lowering his status. His actual form will definitely not descend to the Western Province, just like how I will definitely go to Spirit Mountain..."

Xiao Yi enunciated his thoughts clearly, then, without further explanation, he said indifferently, "You four continue to protect the law for me, and when I emerge from seclusion, that will be the time to head to Spirit Mountain!"

"Yes!"

Although the four had a myriad of questions in their hearts, they showed no hesitation in the face of Xiao Yi’s command.

Xiao Yi entered the secret chamber.

Taking out the Dragon Source Little Lin had given to him before falling into a coma, this was a Dragon Source obtained by refining half of the Lotus Buddha Mother’s Dharma Aspect, and the energy contained within it was so powerful that it could rival the total belief power of the four Buddha nations that Xiao Yi had previously devoured.

"Hopefully, this Dragon Source will bring me enough of a surprise!" Xiao Yi’s squinting eyes exuded a firm resolve.

He now possessed a cultivation that could match a Ninth Layer Supreme Realm, but he was still 8 million Sealing God Leaves short from reaching the Peak Supreme Realm. The energy contained in this Dragon Source, capable of rivaling the accumulated belief power of the four great Buddha nations over a thousand years, still held the potential to allow him to step into the Peak Supreme Realm.

Buzz!

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in midair, pushing the Divine Enthronement Heaven Subduing Skill to its utmost limit, while the Divine Sealing Tree rustled and floated behind him.

Green vines shot out fiercely, tightly coiling around the Dragon Source in his hand.

Waves of massive surging energy incessantly drilled into his body.

...

While Xiao Yi was devouring the Dragon Source and doing all he could to improve his cultivation, at the sacred territory, Spirit Mountain.

Within the group of lavish and majestic palaces, situated at the summit of Spirit Mountain in the Buddha Mother Hall, the Buddha Mother seated within the hall suddenly opened her eyes.

These were eyes as hot as the sun.

The light from her eyes burst forth like two heaven-splitting blades soaring into the sky, as if intending to slice open the very heavens and earth. The Buddha Mother’s right hand rose and slowly opened, revealing a wisp of ash in her palm, while her face remained expressionless, cold to the extreme.

It was as if nothing in this world could make her falter.

"Xiao Yi? A mere Ninth Layer Supreme Realm has managed to kill my Lotus Buddha Mother’s Dharma Body? Interesting, very interesting..." The Buddha Mother tapped her fingers lightly on her knee, showing an amused look on her face as her low murmur echoed throughout the hall.

In front of her.

A man with a golden halo atop his head, lobe-weights like scales, and a big belly was chuckling as he looked at the Buddha Mother.

He always wore a kindly look and was perpetually chuckling.

This man was none other than the first-ranked among the eighteen Buddha Supreme Venerates, the Maitreya Supreme.

Maitreya Supreme was the first Buddha under the command of the Buddha Mother.

His cultivation had also reached the Peak Supreme Realm.

"Maitreya!"

The Buddha Mother’s gaze remained indifferent as she spoke slowly, "Summon all Buddha Supreme Venerates to wait at Spirit Mountain for Xiao Yi and the renegades of Shaolin Temple’s arrival!"

The ever-smiling Maitreya Supreme asked, "Buddha Mother, with you presiding over Spirit Mountain, would Xiao Yi dare to come?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Daring to kill even my Dharmakaya, what else would he not dare to do?" The Buddha Mother snickered coldly.

Maitreya Supreme uttered in surprise, his jovial face revealing a hint of shock.

Before this.

He had not known that Xiao Yi had destroyed the Lotus Buddha Mother’s Dharmakaya, and now hearing it from the Buddha Mother herself, he felt a chill in his heart. Since the end of the Ancient Era, the Buddha Mother and the Buddha Ancestor had been presiding over the Western Province, holding the esteemed positions of holy venerates. Who would dare to defy them?

Let alone destroy their Dharmakaya.

This was a grave offense against the Buddha Mother!

Maitreya Supreme hesitated for a moment before saying, "Buddha Mother, since Xiao Yi dares to destroy your Dharmakaya, why don’t you descend upon the Western Province directly and subdue him? If Xiao Yi doesn’t come to Spirit Mountain and instead flees, with the vast Qingtian Realm it’d not be easy to find him again!"

"Rest assured, he will surely come!"

The Buddha Mother squinted her eyes, a sinister chill blazing within them, "Just as I will not personally descend to the Western Province to confront him!"

Time flew by swiftly.

In a blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

The entire Western Province had long been thrown into chaos; the Celestial Dragon Temple among the four great Buddha nations was completely ruined, Shaolin Temple suffered severe damage, but fortunately, powerhouses like Fajue were all abroad and did not return, avoiding disaster. While Hanging Temple and Vajra Temple managed to preserve most of their strength, they still couldn’t compete with Shaolin Temple, now united with all four patriarchs.

But now...

These three Buddha nations had also lost the desire to compete for believers.

As a result.

Led by the top temple under the former Celestial Dragon Temple Buddhist Kingdom, the Azure Cloud Temple, dozens of temples joined forces to establish the new Green Cloud Buddha Nation. However, this new Buddha Nation was plagued by constant internal strife, and stabilizing the rule of the Buddha Nation would require considerable time and management.

On this day.

Within the newly restored Shaolin Temple, a glow soared into the sky, condensing into an awe-inspiring longsword, as a majestic voice echoed above Shaolin Temple: "The Peak Supreme has arisen, all of Shaolin Temple follow me on the campaign—to attack Spirit Mountain!"
