Chapter 168: Big Dipper’s Saint, Chen Zhongtian

Bodhisattva Kuduo explained, “I have never liked Buddhist scriptures, so I could not form the Bodhi avatar. The avatar just now was cast by my Master, an illusion stored within these Bodhi beads. Master had said that I was too easygoing. As the Bodhisattva of a sacred ground, I did not have the magnanimity and…”

Speaking till here, Bodhisattva Kuduo seemed to be unable to think of a suitable word.

Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. “Posh? Grandeur?”

Bodhisattva Kuduo hurriedly nodded. “That’s right, posh and grandeur, but what does posh mean? Sigh… Never mind! Anyway, Master demanded that I must activate the avatar when I am outside. Otherwise, he won’t let me leave, and I will be punished by copying the Buddhist scriptures’ passages. He’s simply heartless!”

Seeing Kuduo, who felt he was very wronged, Shen Tian could not help but secretly mourn for the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground.

The Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground is so tragic to have such a Saint!

As the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s Bodhisattva, isn’t fronting your responsibility? If you don’t show off your power, who would know of Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s name? Right!

One had to know that Buddhism’s cultivation method was the art of relic merit. It was different from the way of Dao.

The Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground originated from the West Desert Paradise. They were a foreign sacred ground.

As the cultivation art of relic merit had yet to take firm root among the masses, it was not easy for them to find disciples to cultivate Buddhism. Thus, presently, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s Bodhisattva, who was traveling, was extremely important!

If, while wearing clothing as white as snow, the Bodhisattva could flaunt his power as much as possible, then naturally, the sacred ground would have face.

However, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground just had to have such a blockhead. He traveled to many places, killing demons and fiends, thus accumulating merit, but he just did not know how to be a poser. Such an honest person, how could he help his sect to promote Buddhism and expand the sect?

The Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s leader had no other choice but to make a Buddhist artifact and force Bodhisattva Kuduo to bring it if he had to go outside. Thus, it could be seen how helpless the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground was to the point of going nuts with such an honest and upright Saint.

However, even though Bodhisattva Kuduo made the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s leader feel so resigned, his position was still as firm as a rock that no one could threaten it. That also reflected from another aspect the talent and strength of Bodhisattva Kuduo—it was indeed quite astonishing.

Yeap, both have well-developed limbs but a moronic head. The same dislike for reading books and always being punished to face the wall.

Shen Tian confirmed that this fellow was Fang Chang’s ‘true’ brother.

Just as Shen Tian was commenting about Bodhisattva Kuduo in his heart, the doors of the White Lotus Mountain’s secret room gradually opened, and a few people walked out.

The person walking in front was the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader. He was surrounded by lightning and heavenly aura, majestic and unfathomable.

Meanwhile, on the Sacred Leader’s left and right were the old Taoist priest, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and a dignified woman in white, respectively.

That woman wore a long white dress, and her ink-black hair covered her shoulders. It was as if a fairy had descended.

Her face was not as exquisite as Zhang Yunxi’a, but she emitted a holy, motherly radiance. It made one feel close to her just by looking at her as if they were related.

The white-clothed woman was the Peak Leader of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s White Lotus Mountain—Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.

She was the kindest and most gentle elder in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, as well as the dream lover of countless disciples.

As compared to other elders, who were discreet in speech and manner and always held themselves aloft, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus almost never got angry. She was easy to approach.

At the same time, as she mainly cultivated the Butterfly Immortal Sutra and White Feather Medical Sutra, she was also proficient in the art of healing. All of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s disciples would go to the White Lotus Mountain to heal if they were injured or poisoned. That was also the reason why all of the Divine Firmament’s disciples treated the White Lotus Mountain as a holy land.

Every female disciple in the White Lotus Mountain was extremely popular in the sect!

Upon seeing the few elders coming out, Zhang Yunting and Kuduo hurriedly walked up to them.

They said simultaneously, “Master/Sacred Leader, how is Senior Brother/Fang Chang’s injury?”

Their words were filled with concern, but the looks they gave each other were not that friendly. That was because Zhang Yunting thought that the reason his Senior Brother was this simple-minded was largely because… one takes the behavior of one’s company!

Meanwhile, Bodhisattva Kuduo thought that Zhang Yunting would just read ancient books and was simply an enigmatic person.

He had taken a liking to Fang Chang at first sight, and they often learned from each other by having friendly spars. He was extremely annoyed with Zhang Yunting, who was always following Fang Chang around!

Thus, every time Zhang Yunting and Kuduo met, they would definitely bicker.

However, this time, it was rare to see that they did not argue anymore.

The Sacred Leader looked at Kuduo calmly. “So it was Bodhisattva Kuduo.”

Kuduo replied respectfully, “I greet the Sacred Leader. Please forgive me for coming without invitation.”

The Sacred Leader said, “Not at all. I am very relieved that Chang’er has a good friend like you. It’s a pity that Chang’er’s injury has only barely stabilized. He is still unable to meet guests, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to see him.”

Bodhisattva Kuduo took out a small golden bottle. “I heard that Senior Brother Fang Chang is in trouble. I specially asked for this Golden Body Potion from my Master. I hope that it can be of some help.”

The moment that the Golden Body Potion appeared, it was as if chanting sutras’ sounds could be heard.

A faint fragrance escaped the jade bottle, and it made one’s body feel extremely comfortable. That was the ultimate treasure of their sect, the Golden Body Potion. It was the supreme treasure for those cultivating Buddhism to gather their relic and form the Golden Body.

Only when the Holy Monk passed into parinirvana could they create a little by consuming the Golden Body’s essence.

To the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, each bottle of Golden Body Potion was their core resource—its preciousness was immeasurable. Even Bodhisattva Kuduo, the core inheritor, could at most use a small bottle.

Bodhisattva Kuduo was actually willing to give a whole bottle of Golden Body Potion to Fang Chang to help him heal. One had to say, the brotherhood of these two bottom-feeders was truly deep!

The Sacred Leader said calmly, “I appreciate your kindness in Chang’er’s stead. However, Chang’er’s injury was because his Golden Core had cracked. The Golden Body Potion is the supreme treasure to strengthen one’s body. Thus, this Golden Body Potion would not be of much use to Chang’er’s injury. Bodhisattva, please keep it and use it yourself!”

Bodhisattva Kuduo instantly pulled a long face. “Even the Golden Body Potion is useless? Is it possible that Fang Chang is going to die?”

Upon hearing Bodhisattva Kuduo’s words, Shen Tian facepalmed.

This Bodhisattva was really straightforward…

Although what he said was not wrong, he actually said in front of the Sacred Leader that his disciple was going to die?

With such a Bodhisattva, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s hope of promoting Buddhism in the Eastern Wilderness was most likely an unachievable dream!

It was fortunate that the Sacred Leader had cut off his emotions and desires, so he was extremely rational. Thus, he did not think what Kuduo said was inappropriate.

He replied calmly, “It’s unlikely to result in death. But his Golden Core cracked, so it’s challenging to keep his cultivation.

“If Chang’er is lucky, maybe, he might cultivate again in the future.

“If Chang’er is unlucky, he will most likely not be able to cultivate anymore.”

Once the Sacred Leader finished, everyone’s minds were weighed down with anxiety.

To cultivators, especially a top genius of the Eastern Wilderness like Fang Chang, being unable to cultivate was simply like turning into a good-for-nothing. If he had to live like this, it would be better to die directly!

Such a result was too cruel to Fang Chang, who firmly believed he was “invincible”!

In an instant, the mood in the whole White Lotus Mountain turned heavy.

At that moment, starlight cascaded the White Lotus Mountain as a Big Dipper avatar illuminated the sky with its starlight.

The seven stars shone radiantly, vaguely gathering to form the shape of a huge spoon. It seemed to have the great grandeur of “scooping the countless stars in the sky at once”!

That’s right—another guest had arrived on the White Lotus Mountain!
