The Heavens: Man Covers the Heavens, Refines Treasures to Become an Emperor

Chapter 36: Clay Buddha Immortal God

"My Lord, I have found the clay Buddha."

It was Duan Lang's voice, with Feng Yun and the others beside him.

When Nie Feng returned to Tianxiahui, he realized that the trip to Wushuang City was a special opportunity arranged for him by Jiang Xuan. He couldn't help but think that his master was really good at foresight.

“What a constant stream of surprises!”

Jiang Xuan stood up from the secret room, his eyes revealing strong interest.

"Let's go and meet this clay Buddha."

Jiang Xuan felt very strange about the Fengyun world. It was obviously just a world of high-level martial arts, but it involved concepts of destiny and fate. It was very wrong. He wanted to know what this so-called destiny was.

Da da da!
Duan Lang led the way, and Jiang Xuan walked slowly towards the hall in front. A figure wrapped in sackcloth was hunched over and waiting carefully.

"I meet Gang Leader Jiang."

"Are you the Clay Buddha?"

Jiang Xuan looked at the clay Buddha with a leisurely gaze, as if he could see the scene inside through the linen.

"That's right, ahem, I am ugly and have to cover my face with sackcloth, please don't blame me, Gang Leader Jiang."

Along with the sound of old cough, the clay Buddha's already hunched body bent even more completely.

"Since ancient times, fortune tellers have been in control of fate and have revealed the secrets of heaven. Naturally, they will be punished by heaven for five disadvantages and three shortcomings."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand. He didn't care that the clay Buddha didn't show its true face. He knew that under the sackcloth was a horrible face.

"Since you are a clay Buddha, you must know why I asked you to come here."

Jiang Xuan went straight to the point, as this was related to his future plans.

"More than ten years ago, the former leader of the Tianxiahui, Xiongba, came to me to read his fortune."

"How can a golden scale stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon. The dragon's roar in the sky will shock the world, and when wind and clouds meet, it will swim in shallow water."

"This is the approval document I gave to Xiongba. As the saying goes, success or failure depends on the wind and clouds."

At this point, the clay Buddha looked puzzled.

"My approval is definitely not wrong. Xiong Ba should be at his peak right now, and Feng Yun and the other two have not yet turned against him. But for some reason, Gang Leader Jiang suddenly appeared and crushed Xiong Ba. How strange!"

The Clay Buddha was also very confused. For the first time, he doubted his own physiognomy.

Xiong Ba's destiny should have been to soar to the sky in the first half of his life, but when he was flying into the air, he was shot down by an arrow.

This deviation in fate had a great impact on his mind. When he learned that Xiongba would be replaced, he even risked his life to deduce it again, but what he saw was chaos and the unknown.

This made him feel extremely distressed and he was puzzled.

"A person's fate is determined by God. No one can escape the control of fate, unless..."

The clay Buddha's pupils suddenly contracted violently and he looked at Jiang Xuan in disbelief.

He did not calculate and deduce why Xiong Ba's fate deviated from its original trajectory, but he guessed...

Unless... one is someone with an uncertain fate and is outside the realm.

"Success is due to the wind and clouds, failure is also due to the wind and clouds, what do you see from these two?"

Jiang Xuan pointed at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun behind him.

"The dragon returns to the sea, and he can be called a stunning talent. He has endless opportunities and is out of control."

The Clay Buddha was shocked. These two people had the fate of being like the sons of the world. They were blessed by God and would surely encounter something miraculous after jumping off a cliff. Even a situation with no chance of survival could turn misfortune into blessing.

"They are exactly the Fengyun, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun you mentioned."

Feng Yun and the others were also a little confused. Is this really their fate?

Looking back on the past, it has indeed been smooth sailing.

When the Tianxiahui massacred the Huo Family Village, they only missed Bu Jingyun. After more than ten years of training, he surpassed countless martial arts masters. The peerless sword recognized its master, and Lingyun Cave had an opportunity...

The same was true for Nie Feng. Any one of these things would be incredible if taken alone, but they encountered so many incredible things at the same time.

"Bu Jingyun, Bu Jingyun...I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

The clay Buddha suddenly looked confused, as if he had seen this name in an ancient book.

Bu Jingyun raised his eyebrows, but didn't take it seriously. The name of Bu Jingyun, the head of the Feiyun Hall of the Tianxia Association, was known to everyone in the martial arts world. It would be abnormal if no one had heard of him. "Bu Jingyun, the immortal god of the Bu clan?"

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a gleam of light flashed across them, and he confirmed curiously.

"The ancient book records it vaguely. The name seems to be there, but there are no specific deeds."

"The Heaven's Crying Sutra predicts major events in the past, present and future, but how much one can see varies from person to person. I don't know this title."

The clay Buddha shook his head and said:

"If I really knew everything, why would I have been hiding for so many years, and why would I have fallen into such a situation?"

Judging from Jiang Xuan's tone, this title, the immortal god of the Bu clan, is quite impressive to use a god as a title.

"The Bu clan is a mysterious family. According to legend, they are the descendants of the ancient demon god Chi You."

"Every member of the Bu clan is a natural talent. This family has inherited a strong talent. Everyone in this family has a strong talent, not only in martial arts, but also in other aspects. Bu Jingyun's biological father, Bu Yuanting, has a mediocre talent in martial arts, but he has an extraordinary talent in swordsmithing. With this talent, he has become the world's top swordsmith."

"The Bu clan has another special feature, that is, every hundred years, a person with extraordinary martial arts talent will appear and ascend to the top of the martial arts world. The name of the Bu clan also comes from this."

"What's even more surprising is that the Bu clan members who have reached the pinnacle of the martial arts world all have the same face and the same name. They are all called-"

"Bu Jingyun!"

At this point, the Clay Buddha understood that the person in front of him was targeting the so-called Bu clan of gods. But why had he never heard of such a prosperous family? There was not even a single word about it in any ancient books.

Bu Jingyun was shocked and confused. He didn't know much about his biological father. He only knew that his martial arts skills were average. He didn't expect that he was actually the world's best swordsmith.

No one expected that the origin of the blood in his body was so extraordinary. He claimed to be a god. How arrogant and powerful he was.

Duan Lang was also surprised that this fellow disciple, with whom he had been at odds since childhood, had such a powerful background and was destined to reach the top of the martial arts world. This further strengthened his determination to pursue martial arts. He, Duan Lang, was no weaker than anyone else.

Jiang Xuan also saw the doubts of several people, and he slowly spoke:
"Bu Jingyun, who appears once every hundred years, is indeed extremely talented. In just a few decades, he has achieved what ordinary people cannot do in ten lifetimes. However, this clan also has its flaws. All members of the Bu clan can only live forty years, and the gods of this clan are no exception."

"Five hundred years ago, the Sword God Bu Jingyun died at the age of forty. The same was true for the Sword God and Fist God after him. They were all extremely skilled in martial arts and their fists dominated the world, but they all could not escape the fate of dying at the age of forty. Until two hundred years ago, a genius who surpassed all his predecessors appeared in the Bu clan. With his great wisdom, he found a way to immortality in this impossible situation and called himself a god, the God of Immortality."

"He created a method of longevity called the Heaven-Transferring Divine Art, which not only delays aging, but also allows one to achieve immortality by performing a head-replacement surgery and taking over other young bodies when one is about to die."

"As for the qualifications and matching degree of the person being seized, who in the world can surpass Bu Jingyun who appears once in a century..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan looked serious.

"My Lord, do you mean that the Immortal God might target Senior Brother Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Feng asked anxiously. From what Jiang Xuan said, the immortal god might very likely take over Senior Brother Yun's body.

"It's not a possibility, but a certainty. A hundred years ago, a god emerged from the Bu clan. He was the best in the world in terms of martial arts. He was imprisoned by the immortal god as a target for possession. I think he has a better choice now..."

……

In an unknown palace in Shenzhou.

In a warm tent made entirely of crystal, through the curtains, one could vaguely see a burly figure lying on his side.

Just by lying casually on his side, infinite power radiated from his body, and the terrifying pressure made all the subordinates below crawl on the ground, not daring to breathe heavily.

No one knew that this burly and strong body was wearing a human skin mask.

He can be immortal, but he cannot be immortal.

Under the mask, it was as if a knife called time was tirelessly carving on it, one cut after another, leaving many grooves, deep and ugly.

"My clansman, how is he now?"

The god spoke in a deep and creepy voice, like the soul-stirring sound from hell.

Before the warm tent, the god knelt respectfully and quickly replied:

"Bu Jingyun has encountered many good fortunes. His martial arts skills have become top-notch at that time. His physical condition is constantly improving. He will soon reach the peak of his life."

"It's great to be young!"

God sighed:
"It's really a happy life to make rapid progress and never have any bottlenecks. It's been a long time since I felt the joy of transcending the limits between life and death and standing on my own feet."

The words sounded like sighing, reminiscing, and also like...envy.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, just wait a little longer..."
