Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 673: Buddhist Prayer Beads

“So the Purple-Gold Gourd is Senior One-Qi’s magical treasure.” Everyone in Chunjiang City looked up at the battle and awaited its outcome; Lu Yang was no exception.

He had only heard Yun Zhi mention the name Purple-Gold Gourd. It contained dual energies of yin and yang. Anyone sucked inside would be torn apart by the two energies in mere moments.

But he didn’t know who possessed this magical treasure.

Previously, at a stall in the black market, he had seen a magical treasure claimed to be the Purple-Gold Gourd, but he could recognize it was a fake at a glance. Even selling the entire black market wouldn’t cover the cost of the real Purple-Gold Gourd’s stopper.

“That’s it? We won?” Lu Yang felt the battle had ended surprisingly quickly.

“You think a half-immortal is so easy to defeat? This guy’s Incipient Dao Fruit can create objects from thin air. Even if he is trapped inside the gourd, he can still use that ability.

“Don’t underestimate any half-immortal. His ability might not be significant in the outside world, but once he’s in the Void Realm, few half-immortals can beat him.”

“That strong?”

Lu Yang was taken aback. Doesn’t that mean the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord hasn’t even gotten serious yet?

Sure enough, just as the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had predicted, the Purple-Gold Gourd shook violently. No matter how the One-Qi Venerable Lord tried to suppress it with spells, he couldn’t stop the shaking.

Bang!

The gourd’s stopper was forced open by an endless stream of magical treasures, and the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord escaped successfully.

“Transcendent Tribulation cultivator, looks like you aren’t completely useless.”

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord was jet black, protected by countless layers of armor. The armor was scarred and battered, clearly damaged by the yin-yang dual energies.

Layer by layer, the armor fell away, while the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord himself was completely unharmed.

~~~

“Senior brothers, I sense that the protective prayer beads I gave Benefactress Kongque have been activated; she’s in danger. I’m going to check.” Shi Chan transmitted an auditory message, startling Lu Yang.

“Be careful! We haven’t seen Ye Xiao at all; he has likely gone to kill Miss Kongque. Old Meng and I will head over there too!”

~~~

Lu Yang’s guess hit the mark. After Ye Xiao broke free, the first thing he did was to rush to the inn and kill Miss Kongque.

I’ve said that whoever I set my sights on must either submit to me or die!

I keep my word.

“Huff, huff... Who gave you this magical treasure?” Ye Xiao was panting heavily. Kongque was right in front of him, but no matter what method he used, it was blocked by the prayer beads in front of her chest.

The creator of this magical treasure must be an extremely powerful existence—no weaker than myself!

“You don’t need to know!” Seeing that Ye Xiao couldn’t harm her, Kongque breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for the magical treasure Shi Chan had gifted her. I could never afford a magical treasure that can block attacks of the Nascent Soul Stage for a quarter of an hour.

“Since I can’t deal with you for now, this younger or elder twin sister beside you is in danger!” Ye Xiao revealed a cruel smile. He could already imagine Kongque’s twisted and grief-stricken expression after he killed Fuling.

“Younger Sister, run!” Kongque hastily yelled. She stood before Fuling to shield her from Ye Xiao’s attack.

However, her reaction speed was far slower than Ye Xiao’s. He only needed to circle one round, and she could no longer protect Fuling.

Ye Xiao transformed into a shadow, appearing behind Fuling. She was wide open, the veins on her neck clearly visible.

Success!

A giant golden hand abruptly appeared between Ye Xiao and Fuling, blocking the fatal blow.

“Benefactor, your heart is consumed by killing intent.”

With his strike foiled, Ye Xiao hastily retreated. This person’s cultivation isn’t low—facing him head-on might be disadvantageous. As an assassin, I’m skilled in ambush; frontal assault isn’t my forte.

“Master Shi Chan!”

The sisters were overwhelmed with emotions upon seeing Shi Chan’s arrival, as if they had seen a beacon of hope.

“Little monk, you’re the one who gave Kongque the prayer beads!” Ye Xiao regarded Shi Chan as a mortal enemy.

Without the prayer beads, I would have succeeded long ago!

“Amitabha. You have good eyes, Benefactor. This poor monk had an epiphany during the Advanced Golden Core Stage and refined the sandalwood prayer beads with vow power.”

“Nonsense! That’s impossible!” Ye Xiao was enraged. If you had refined this magical treasure at the Advanced Golden Core Stage, how could it have blocked my Basic Nascent Soul attacks?

“Quell your anger, Benefactor. Monks do not speak of falsehood. Ever since I began my journey, I have only experienced one defeat. Losing to this poor monk is not embarrassing.” Shi Chan spoke the truth. His only defeat was when he went to the Dao-Seeking Sect and challenged Yun Zhi.

Ye Xiao grew angrier. I’m an almighty reforged cultivator and the Dark Night Pavilion Leader who has instilled fear in the hearts of numerous cultivators. How could I not defeat a little monk from a later era?

It must be a psychological tactic!

“Little monk, I’ll make sure you know the consequences of provoking an assassin!”

Boom!

The Sword-Cleansing Pond that was over two meters long smashed through the wall, plunging headfirst into the inn’s hallway. Ye Xiao only felt a tremendous shockwave before he was sent flying. Several of his bones snapped as he crashed through the wall on the other side.

“How is it? Are the two young ladies injured? Where’s Ye Xiao?” Lu Yang was worried that Shi Chan couldn’t handle Ye Xiao and hastily flew over on his pond.

I gotta say, piloting a pond is much faster than flying by myself.

Shi Chan pointed toward the hole in the opposite wall and pressed his palms together. “He was sent flying by you, Senior Brother Lu Yang.”

Immediately after, Meng Jingzhou walked in through the other wall, carrying someone in his hand. “I saw someone lying on the rooftop when I arrived. He looked badly injured but was still breathing. Does anyone know him? I think he can still be saved.”

“Senior Brother Meng, this is Benefactor Ye Xiao. He was just sent flying by Senior Brother Lu Yang.”

“Ah? So he’s Ye Xiao. Forget it then, I’m not saving him.” Meng Jingzhou disdainfully tossed Ye Xiao to the ground and stepped on him a couple of times for good measure.

What trash—even Lu Yang could beat him.

“What should we do now—” Before Meng Jingzhou could finish, the ground shook violently.

The twin sisters were thrown off their feet, and the inn’s roof was ripped off clean. As the dust dispersed, the aloof figure of the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord was revealed. Surrounded by various Transcendent Tribulation-grade magical treasures, he ignored Lu Yang and the others.

Just a few Nascent Soul cultivators—they won’t amount to anything.

With a tap of his finger, he conjured a drop of fine jade wine and dripped it into Ye Xiao’s mouth. The latter regained vitality, and his injuries healed.

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord was here for two purposes: to reduce the number of Transcendent Tribulation cultivators from Great Xia and to have Ye Xiao nurture a group of Fusion Stage assassins. Both methods aimed to destroy the Great Xia founded by Jiang Ping’an.

Lu Yang exclaimed inwardly, This is bad. It means One-Qi Venerable Lord had lost.

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord’s Incipient Dao Fruit’s ability is a secret. His pulling everyone into the Void Realm signifies that everyone had witnessed his methods. He never intended to leave anyone alive!

“Supreme Lord.” Ye Xiao knew he was no match for Lu Yang and the others and slunk behind the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord.

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord casually swept his gaze over Lu Yang’s trio, his brow slightly furrowing as his eyes settled on Meng Jingzhou. “You are from the Meng Family?”

He had been defeated by the combined efforts of the Jiang and Meng families’ ancestors. The Void Nothingness Sect, which he had established with his own hands, was also exterminated by these two major factions. His hatred for the Meng Family was no less than his hatred for Great Xia!

Everyone from the Meng Family must die!

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord reached out a hand. Just as he was about to execute Meng Jingzhou, his expression suddenly changed. He sensed someone attacking the barriers of his Void Realm.

“Who is it?!”

A crack appeared in the sky. A tall, thin man resembling a bamboo pole appeared, staring coldly at the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord.

“Damn it! I finally found a lead on the Twins River. I’d like to see which rascal without eyes dares to touch the people I’ve marked!”
