Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 979 - 977: My Fate Is In My Hands, Not Decided By Heaven! [Third Update]

Chapter 979: Chapter 977: My Fate Is In My Hands, Not Decided By Heaven! [Third Update]

"Open, open for me..."

The Buddhist Mother repeatedly struck the thick massive doors, with the thudding sounds echoing across the entire expanse of Holy Spirit Mountain.

Spirit Mountain trembled.

The Stairway to Heaven collapsed.

As if doomsday had descended.

Throughout the sacred land, countless creatures watched the Buddhist Mother in her complete rampage, dumbfounded and unable to recover their wits: "Am I hallucinating? Xiao Yi actually entered the current Buddha King’s palace?"

"Isn’t it said that the current Buddha King’s palace opens once every thousand years, and only those with destiny may have the chance to inherit the Buddha King’s Fruit Position?"

"Could it be that Xiao Yi is the predestined one for the Buddha King’s inheritance?"

"Holy shit, if that’s the case, doesn’t it mean Xiao Yi is about to become the third Saint Buddha of the Buddha King?"

"Once that happens, Xiao Yi will truly be on par with the Buddhist Mother, no wonder she’s so out of control. She wishes she could devour Xiao Yi’s flesh and blood, seeing him as a thorn in her side; yet now, Xiao Yi is about to secure the current Buddha King’s Fruit Position..."

One mighty being after another stared blankly at the terrifying energy booms coming from Spirit Mountain.

Under the frenzied bombardment, the grand doors of the Buddha Buddha Palace at the summit of Spirit Mountain remained motionless, for this palace is an even higher grade Yuan weapon than the entire Spirit Mountain itself.

Moreover, it’s a defensive fortress Yuan weapon.

Not to mention the Buddhist Mother alone, even if joined by the Buddha Ancestor, they would still be unable to shake it in the slightest.

"Damnable, damnable... Xiao Yi, you little bastard, how could you do this? How could you possibly have opened the current Buddha Buddha Palace? Have you been toying with me from start to finish?"

"Damn it, I’ve been wise all my life, yet I’ve been played around by you, a young brat?"

"How dare you do this?"

Roar!

At this moment, the Buddhist Mother completely lost control, hysterical, resembling a lunatic.

At this point.

She could no longer be clueless as to why Xiao Yi, at the realm of the Supreme Venerable, marched majestically and openly led an assault on Spirit Mountain. It turned out Xiao Yi had the means to open the current Buddha Buddha Palace all along and this was all part of his plot.

The prideful Buddhist Mother refused to stoop to personally deal with Xiao Yi.

Instead, she waited until Xiao Yi arrived at Spirit Mountain.

He fought his way to the peak of Spirit Mountain.

In the end, he opened the current Buddha Buddha Palace and hid inside.

Xiao Yi being able to induce the Palace Master to open the doors and receiving the current Buddha’s Holy Buddhist Position was almost a certainty; once Xiao Yi became the current Buddha, as a fellow dignified Saint Buddha, how could the Buddhist Mother lay her hands on him?

Even if she dared to stain her name with fratricide, the Buddha Ancestor would not let her off the hook!

Bear in mind.

Once someone inherits the Buddha Fruit Position, they become tied to the entire Buddhist sect’s fate.

The previous current Buddha fell five thousand years ago, causing immense damage to the sect’s fate, taking a full three thousand years to recover.

The current Buddhist sect could not weather such a blow.

That’s exactly why...

The Buddhist Mother was so furious, even going completely berserk.

From the moment Xiao Yi entered the Buddha Buddha Palace, it signified the Buddhist Mother’s utter defeat, unless she was willing to watch the decline of the Buddhist sect and become a sinner, otherwise, revenge was impossible.

At the same time.

Within the palace, guided by the Holy Buddhist Relics, Xiao Yi arrived at the deepest part of the palace.

Here lay a clear spring.

Above the spring, a golden hoop supported by a gushing fountain floated in mid-air.

Bobbing up and down.

Covered in mystic runes, this golden hoop seemed to house thousands of Buddhas within, their chanting resonating for miles.

The energy of the Holy Buddhist Relics within his body was acting up, constantly pushing Xiao Yi towards the golden hoop.

Arriving in front of the golden hoop.

Without even touching it, the golden hoop already emitted a faint glow of Daoist charm, a warm light bathing his entire body and imparting a sense of unparalleled power flowing into him.

It was no exaggeration to say...

This power was in no way inferior to that of the Buddha Mother.

It was absolutely at the level of the Supreme Venerable!

"A person of destiny, you have finally arrived!" A calm voice echoed within the Buddha Palace, a resonant and deafening sound. frёeωebɳovel.com

Xiao Yi’s expression changed slightly: "Who are you?"

"I am the Foremost under Buddha, the Present Buddha!"

Above the clear spring, a figure quietly emerged, but it was not a living being, only a silhouette. Flickering between clarity and obscurity, this Fo Canying smiled at Xiao Yi, "Since you’ve reached this place, you are destined to take over as the Present Buddha. Just put on the golden hoop, and you will inherit all my power, instantly ascending to the realm of the Supreme Venerable..."

Hiss!

Xiao Yi gasped in shock, to become a Supreme Venerable just by putting on the golden hoop?

Even his current strength was far from that of the Supreme Venerable.

This point...

Xiao Yi had deeply understood it during his recent clash with the Buddha Mother.

And this shadow claiming to be the Present Buddha actually said that just by putting on the golden hoop, one could possess the combat power of a Supreme Venerable?

Xiao Yi never believed in pie falling from the sky.

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes and asked, "Are there any restrictions if I put on the golden hoop?"

"Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch under the heavens!"

The Present Buddha’s shadow nodded, as if it were only natural. "This golden hoop contains power at the level of a Supreme Venerable. Such power, if it fell into the hands of outsiders, would certainly not be a blessing for our Buddhist sect. Therefore, only the one who puts on the golden hoop can inherit my power, and the only restriction is that you shall never betray the Buddhist sect for all eternity!"

That was somewhat understandable.

After all, the Present Buddha was one of the Three Saint Buddhas of the Buddhist sect.

At the same time...

The Present Buddha was also known as the Buddha King.

He was the strongest and most revered of the Three Saint Buddhas.

If one obtained this power without restrictions, and an enemy of the Buddhist sect inherited the power of the Present Buddha, wouldn’t it become a disaster for the Buddhist sect in the future?

Xiao Yi’s expression was somewhat strange.

It seemed that he was an enemy of the Buddhist sect?

Seeing Xiao Yi hesitating to put on the golden hoop, the Present Buddha’s shadow asked in doubt, "Person of destiny, don’t you crave power? This is the power at the level of the Supreme Venerable. After putting it on, you will not be able to betray our Buddhist sect, and there will be no other effects!"

Xiao Yi inquired, "Is there no other way to inherit the Buddha Fruit Position of the Present Buddha, other than putting on the golden hoop?"

"That’s not the case, from the moment you arrived, you were qualified to inherit the Present Buddha’s Buddha Fruit Position!" replied the Present Buddha’s shadow.

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Then if I put on the golden hoop, may I slay the Buddha Mother?"

"Uh..."

The Present Buddha’s shadow was dumbfounded, obviously not expecting Xiao Yi’s intention to be the murder of the Buddha Mother. He said in astonishment, "The Buddha Mother is a Holy Buddha of our sect, sharing the same origin with you; how could you kill her?"

"Since I cannot kill him, then I shall not wear the golden hoop."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and then said, "Please just pass on the Present Buddha’s Buddha Fruit Position to me!"

The Present Buddha’s shadow was dumbfounded: "You—you—you only want the position? Not the power of the Supreme Venerable? This is power at the Supreme Venerable level, a force countless beings yearn for but cannot obtain, and you actually reject it? Just wanting the position which is more of a symbol of status? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?"

The great monk couldn’t help but curse.

Xiao Yi glanced at him, an expression of disdain on his face: "It’s just the Supreme Venerable, sooner or later I will break through to this realm. Besides, I am the master of my fate, not heaven. How can I be bound by a mere golden hoop?"
