Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 733 The Conflict Between Immortals and Buddhas! (Two Chapters Combined)

Based on Guaili's reaction, Song Changming realized that his prediction was correct.

It's highly likely that this time it was one of Guaili's close friends who betrayed her.

All that calculating the location of the Sun God's Fire was just a pretext, a scheme to lure Guaili here.

"How hateful!" Gua Li gritted her teeth after realizing what had happened.

Song Changming was also not happy. He said in a muffled voice, "We can talk about other things later. Right now, we should try to get out of here."

Although he broke the Buddha's disciple's supernatural powers, it didn't mean they were safe.

Those Buddhist practitioners who possess supernatural powers are certainly not ordinary people.

Sure enough, as they ascended to the ninth heaven, a beam of Buddhist light appeared before them.

With a Buddhist chant, a large golden pestle smashed down on them from the sky.

Song Changming immediately unleashed another strike, unleashing a torrent of dragon power that shook the heavens and the earth!

The sword energy seemed to transform into ten thousand giant dragons, colliding with the Buddhist light of the golden pestle.

In an instant, golden light filled the entire sky, even more dazzling than the nine blazing suns.

The next moment, the myriad dragons formed from the sword energy vanished into thin air, and the golden pestle fell back into the Buddha's hand, spinning in his palm like a screw.

The Buddhist disciple glanced at Song Changming a couple more times, seemingly surprised that Song Changming, merely a True Immortal, could actually block his Golden Pestle magic weapon head-on.

Song Changming felt heavy-hearted.

This Buddhist disciple is indeed not so simple; his Buddhist power has reached the level of a celestial being.

Even if his cultivation as a True Immortal has improved, he would most likely still be unable to defeat the Buddha's disciple before him.

Even with Guai Li by his side, things are still a bit risky.

"Unfortunately, the life-saving monkey hair that Monkey King gave me has already been used up," Song Changming thought to himself.

Otherwise, things would be much easier.

"Could it summon the Celestial Venerable, or your senior brothers and sisters?" Song Changming asked Gua Li telepathically.

“I’ve tried. That guy must have some kind of magical artifact. Unless we can get away from him, the message won’t get out,” Gua Li said, shaking her head.

It can only be said that the other party came prepared and was determined to capture her today.

"Do not remain stubbornly deluded," the Buddhist disciple said slowly, his hands clasped together.

The kindness in his tone had completely vanished by this point.

The Buddhist concept of "compassion" is nothing but empty rhetoric. When it comes to actual fighting, these supposedly compassionate Buddhas are far more ruthless than anyone else.

The Buddhist disciple clearly did not want to delay any longer, and a huge golden Buddha statue manifested around him.

Clearly, the other side is getting serious.

That Buddha statue undoubtedly represents another kind of supernatural power or ability of Buddhism!
The fact that the opponent can frequently use a variety of supernatural abilities suggests that they are no ordinary person.

Behind this Buddhist disciple, there is probably a truly great Buddha standing!

Otherwise, the other party would never dare to so openly arrest a disciple of a Celestial Venerable.

As soon as the Buddhist disciple moved, the golden Buddha statue attacked along with him.

The Buddha statue clenched its fist in one hand and held the suddenly enlarged golden pestle in the other, unleashing a blinding beam of light.

Song Changming also unhesitatingly unleashed his three heads and six arms, now wielding five swords and a top-grade magic weapon, the Wind Spirit Fan.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use more magical artifacts to defend against enemies, but rather that he didn't have any more good offensive magical artifacts.

Furthermore, if it's not a top-grade magic weapon, it would be more powerful for him to wield a celestial sword to kill.

"Taste my Five-Sword Style!"

Song Changming possesses a golden Supreme Sacred Body of the Sword Dao, and with these five swords in hand, he can naturally maximize their power.

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed, resisting the attacking Buddhist disciple.

When supernatural powers clash, even though Song Changming's immortal cultivation is far inferior to his opponent's, he miraculously manages to barely hold on thanks to the martial pill within his body and the burst of myriad dragon powers.

Logically speaking, without powerful magical artifacts to protect them, a celestial being fighting a true immortal is like a father beating his son, a one-sided bullying where the true immortal has no chance of winning.

Therefore, it is indeed as incredible as a miracle that Song Changming was able to withstand the enemy's offensive.

Even Guai Li, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

She knew that Song Changming's martial arts were astonishing and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, but she never expected that Song Changming, when he was at full power, would be able to fight against this Buddhist disciple with the combat strength of a celestial being.

You should know that this Buddhist disciple is no ordinary celestial being; he possesses great supernatural powers.

"Three heads and six arms!" The Buddhist disciple narrowed his eyes, and the golden Buddha statue on his body threw a powerful punch.

Song Changming raised his sword to fight back, but the immortal sword could not withstand the combined force and broke in two.

Song Changming has always been aware of the importance of good weapons. There are many powerful immortal weapons in the Celestial Court, but unfortunately they are all too expensive.

It requires either a large amount of immortal cultivation techniques or a large number of immortal-nourishing pills in exchange.

He is now the team leader, and his annual stipend has doubled compared to the time when he was a Heavenly Soldier, but he still can't afford to buy very good weapons.

After all, his current cultivation requirements are much higher than during his time as a heavenly soldier.

Even if you don't use it at all, you might not be able to get a handy weapon without decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation.

Song Changming took a step back, and with a flick of his wrist, another immortal blade appeared.

If the quality of the immortal swords wasn't good enough, he would make up for it with quantity.

Seeing this, the Buddhist disciple swung his golden Buddha statue again, each punch landing like a giant meteorite.

boom!
At that moment, a burst of glazed fire erupted, burning away half of the golden Buddha statue's head.

The Buddhist disciple glanced at Guaili, who was bathed in lapis lazuli fire, and then directly removed the string of Buddhist beads and relics hanging around her neck.

The Buddhist relic, whose grade was unknown, grew larger in the wind after being thrown out, and actually wrapped around Guaili in layers.

Even if Guaili transforms into her true form, the Glazed Flame, she cannot break free.

When Song Changming realized something was wrong, the Buddhist monk's sleeves transformed into clouds, and he directly took away the adorable girl.

Finally, the Buddhist disciple gave Song Changming a deep look before transforming into a beam of Buddhist light and disappearing into the horizon without lingering.

Song Changming withdrew his supernatural powers and took a few breaths.

The opponent's methods were too sophisticated, and he possessed too many supernatural abilities; even if he wanted to catch up, he couldn't.

Not to mention, even if they caught up with him, they couldn't save Guaili.

But did they just let him go like that?

Aren't they afraid that he will go to Yuan Tianzun to tell him about this?
Or perhaps the other party wasn't afraid of Yuan Tianzun at all, or maybe letting him go was intentional.
Song Changming didn't think much of it and went straight back to the Outer Heavens, heading to Qingguang Star where Yuan Tianzun was located.

Regardless of the other party's plans or schemes, this matter must be informed of Yuan Tianzun as soon as possible.

After all, Guaili was still in danger of being captured, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her die. On Qingguang Star, atop a white tower, the white-haired youth sat cross-legged, his powerful immortal energy shimmering with a white light, like rays of light converging together.

The white-haired youth was none other than Cang Zhe, the eldest disciple of Yuan Tianzun.

As he devoted himself to cultivation, his immortal cultivation began to show signs of perfection, and the opportunity for a breakthrough was on the horizon.

Just as he was getting into the swing of things, the white-haired youth suddenly stopped his cultivation, opened his eyes full of spiritual light, and looked out at the approaching figure beyond the Azure Star.

The next moment, he disappeared from the top of the tower.

A flash of white light appeared outside the Abyss Palace.

"Brother Song, it's rare for you to come here, why are you in such a hurry?" Cang Zhe stopped Song Changming and asked.

"Guaili has been captured by the Buddhist sect." Upon seeing Cang Zhe, Song Changming immediately recounted everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Cang Zhe's brows twitched slightly, and a change appeared in his usually calm expression.

"Brother Song, come with me to see the Heavenly Venerable," Cang Zhe said. Without waiting for Song Changming to say anything more, he raised his hand and conjured a cloud, leading Song Changming towards the main hall where the Heavenly Venerable Yuan was located.

Soon, Song Changming met Yuan Tianzun.

This was, in fact, the second time he had met Yuan Tianzun since arriving on the Primordial Continent.

During this time, out of various concerns, he did not disturb this celestial being.

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable." In the hall, Song Changming and Cang Zhe bowed to the Heavenly Venerable Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged and whose back was the only visible part of him.

Before Song Changming could speak again, Yuan Tianzun said, "I know everything."

Clearly, he had overheard Song Changming and Cang Zhe's explanation from afar.

"Heavenly Venerable, let this disciple go and fetch the person," Cang Zhe said.

"No need, that person's target is me," Yuan Tianzun said calmly, his eyes closed, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Upon hearing this, Song Changming immediately realized that the other party probably had much bigger plans.

Guai Li was merely an unlucky soul who brought out Yuan Tianzun.

Cang Zhe looked worried and said, "Heavenly Venerable, you are about to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. If you are disturbed by that, I'm afraid..."

Yuan Tianzun slightly raised his hand, stopping Cang Zhe from continuing.

“Guaili is destined to face this calamity, which was caused by me, and only I can resolve it.”

As Yuan Tianzun spoke, he opened his eyelids, his gaze cold as he stood up.

"Keep an eye on Yuan Palace."

The voice of Yuan Tianzun still echoed in the hall, but he had disappeared and gone nowhere.

Song Changming noticed that his senior brother Cang Zhe had a furrowed brow and looked very worried.

This was an expression I'd never seen before when I heard that Guaili had been arrested.

"With the Celestial Venerable taking action, there shouldn't be any problems," Song Changming said.

He felt that no matter how outrageous the Buddhist sect was, they shouldn't have gone so far as to fight against Yuan Tianzun in the Outer Heavens for the sake of a true immortal disciple.

After all, the commotion was too big, alarming all the immortals of the Celestial Court, and even the Celestial King. The only one in the wrong could be the Buddhist sect.

Even if the struggle between immortals and Buddhas is an inevitable trend, it shouldn't have turned into such a public falling out and a confrontation between opposing camps.

However, Cang Zhe remained silent, seemingly completely uneasy about Yuan Tianzun leaving because of this matter.

"I'm not worried about Guaili, I'm only worried that the Buddhist sect's actions might cause problems with the Heavenly Venerable's Golden Immortal Dao Fruit." Cang Zhe finally expressed his concerns to Song Changming.

For Buddhism, the Buddhas were not happy to see another Golden Immortal powerhouse in the core circle of the Celestial Court!
Perhaps, the other party's purpose this time was specifically to disrupt Huang Yuan Tianzun's breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm.

"So, does the Celestial Court hope to see another Golden Immortal, or not?" Song Changming couldn't help but ask upon hearing this.

If there is any hope, the Celestial Court should support Yuan Tianzun and stand on his side, instead of leaving Yuan Tianzun to face the Buddhist sect's targeting alone.

Cang Zhe shook his head and said, "The Celestial Court is already divided into numerous factions, and there are many immortals and gods who dislike the Celestial Venerable. Unless the Celestial King intervenes, no one in the Celestial Court will be willing to help the Celestial Venerable fight against Buddhism."

Cang Zhe understood the Celestial Court and the Buddhist sect far better than Song Changming, and was also aware that Yuan Tianzun had been targeted and had become an important pawn in the power struggle between the two factions.

Whether Yuan Tianzun can overcome this hurdle is of paramount importance.

If he can reach the ranks of the Golden Immortals this time, he will have the opportunity to completely shed his status as a pawn and become a player at the table!

Of course, Cang Zhe did not tell Song Changming all the specific interests involved.

After all, Song Changming is only a minor True Immortal at present, and knowing too much won't be of much help.

Even he himself was the same; at this moment, he could only obey orders and stay in the Yuan Palace, unable to do anything more.

"Changming, you should go back first. This matter should be resolved soon," Cangzhe said.

Song Changming nodded; there was indeed nothing more he could do about this.

The two sides in the game were of such high social standing that he didn't even qualify to be a piece in the game, so he had no choice but to return to the Celestial Army and wait for news.

And the news came quickly.

On that day, for some unknown reason, Yuan Tianzun directly attacked within the Buddhist community, killing many Buddhist disciples and Arhats. Even the Buddha himself was injured, and seriously so!

Ultimately, the matter drew the attention of the Celestial King and the Buddha, who intervened to end the incident.

As for Yuan Tianzun, it is said that he has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Pool by the Immortal King and will suffer the torment of lightning for a thousand years!
The most regrettable thing is that the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit that Yuan Tianzun was about to obtain has been completely hopeless because of this incident!
After hearing this version of the events in the army, Song Changming was dumbfounded.

I never imagined that the day when Tianzun went to the Buddhist temple alone would lead to such serious consequences.

And the cause was Guaili being kidnapped?
Song Changming felt a chill run down his spine. Was this the outcome that Buddhism was aiming for?
The Celestial Venerable of the Celestial Court, a powerful figure who was about to ascend to the position of Golden Immortal, was forcibly suppressed and disappeared just like that?

For a moment, Song Changming lost his mood for cultivation. Not knowing how Guaili was doing, he rushed to Nayuan Palace again.

then.

Inside the Abyss Palace, Song Changming saw the group of disciples gathered together, as well as Abyss Heavenly Venerable sitting cross-legged in the main hall.

"Sit down," Yuan Tianzun said, gesturing for Song Changming to sit in front of him.

"Senior, I've heard..." After sitting down, Song Changming was unsure of the situation.

"The beating was real, the punishment was fake," Yuan Tianzun said directly, seeing the doubt in Song Changming's mind.

"That's good," Song Changming breathed a sigh of relief.

A thousand years of lightning punishment—that's an incredibly heavy penalty.

With heavenly lightning striking his body every day, enduring a thousand years of torment, even if he doesn't die, most of his cultivation would probably be scattered!
At that time, Yuan Tianzun will be rendered useless.

Fortunately, this is just a rumor. Yuan Tianzun does not need to be punished. He only needs to stay on his Qingguang Star and keep a low profile in recent years.

Of course, besides this, Yuan Tianzun's killing of Buddhist monks did not come without a price.

The Golden Immortal Dao Fruit that was about to be obtained is indeed gone, and the price paid is by no means light.

If the Buddhist sect's goal was to prevent Yuan Tianzun from advancing to the Golden Immortal realm, then they have achieved their objective.
