Chapter 256: Who Is It?
Edited bty: Mochiusagi
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall was one of the Major Sects overseas. They were known as the source of Buddhism since the last prosperous era and naturally knew about the War God Temple.
The 9th Ancestor was very clear about what the War God Temple represented. That’s a place where even powerhouses of the Earth Immortal Realm couldn’t break in without authorization. It was rumored to be something left by a certain supreme powerhouse.
However, with the end of the last prosperous era, the War God Temple had also disappeared without a trace.
What the 9th Ancestor didn’t expect, was that the War God Temple would appear on this continent.
The 9th Ancestor’s face became slightly solemn. His first thought was whether the War God Temple spoken by the Abbot of Vajra Temple, was the same War God Temple he knew of?
After all, the three words ‘War God Temple’ were not uncommon and not really that unique of a combination.
It’s just that the dragon, also mentioned by the Abbot of the Vajra Temple, made the 9th Ancestor startled.
If it was only the War God Temple, then it may be a coincidence that two things had the same name. However, the addition of the dragon was consistent with the record of the War God Temple in the Thousand Buddhas Hall Hall.
“You’re not lying to me, are you?”
The 9th Ancestor stared at the Abbot, as he spoke word for word.
The dragon in the War God Temple could even drive out Earth Immortals. Against such an ominous beast, even if a Great Arhat made a move, the latter would fail. So how could the dragon fall in the hands of an Arhat?
“This monk is telling the truth.” The Abbot put his hands together and said in a low voice.
“Hmm.” The 9th Ancestor seemed to think of something, “The last prosperous era was probably more than 10,000 years ago.”
“For such a long time, even if the War God Temple still exists, the dragon’s Qi and blood must have declined, its strength would have fallen into the Arhat Realm.”
When the 9th Ancestor thought of this, he slightly nodded, and figured it out.
As part of the Monster Race, the lifespan of the dragon was far superior to that of the humans, but it does not mean that the dragon’s lifespan had no limit.
Otherwise, this world would have long been dominated by the Monster Race. Where would the Human Race be placed?
Considering this, it was not so unacceptable for an Arhat to have killed the dragon.
“But.”
“Even if the dragon is really dying of old age, its innate abilities are still there. Since the Arhat of the Shaolin Temple could kill the dragon, he must have some means.”
The 9th Ancestor thought in his heart.
He didn’t doubt whether the Abbot of the Vajra Temple would lie.
The 9th Ancestor had been observing the reaction of the Abbot. If the other party had lied, it wouldn’t be hidden from him.
Furthermore, according to the description of the Abbot, although this incident was not known to passers-by, at least it was not a secret. He could just go out and verify it.
So would the Abbot of the Vajra Temple dare to deceive him?
“Perhaps, the Buddha’s aura that I’m looking for is related to this?”
The 9th Ancestor’s thoughts turned sharply. He raised his head and looked in a certain direction: “It seems that I have to go to Shaolin Temple.”
The 9th Ancestor took the risk of fighting against the Legend of Chang’an City and entered the Tang Empire because he felt the aura of Buddha. Now that he finally had a clue, how could he give up?
Thinking of this, the 9th Ancestor took a step forward and disappeared, moving towards the Shaolin Temple.
The Abbot and the Guardians of the Vajra Temple looked at each other. Finally, one of the Guardians asked: “Abbot, what is the strength of that person?”
“What strength?”
The Abbot looked at the Guardian: “What do you think? He was able to suppress thousands of disciples of our Vajra Temple by just relying on his aura!”
The Guardians turned pale. They had guesses in their hearts, but they had not dared to confirm. At this moment, they were shocked when they heard the Abbot’s reply.
“Abbot, if this person is a Buddhist monk, why haven’t I heard of him before?” The Guardian who first spoke, tentatively asked.
“I don’t know either.”
The Abbot shook his head slightly, with a hint of worry on his face: “But I’m afraid that there would be trouble in the Shaolin Temple.”

Imperial Palace.
Emperor Li Sheng frowned, while looking at the information presented to him.
“A young monk slapped a Peak Grade 1 to death?”
Emperor Li Sheng muttered to himself.
Generally speaking, whether it was Peak Grade 1 that had transformed once, or a Grade 1 Great Perfection that had transformed three times, the gap wouldn’t be enough to slap the former to death.
There was only one possibility and that was that the young monk’s strength had surpassed the 9 Grades, entering the Arhat Realm.
As for what level in the Arhat Realmat, Emperor Li Sheng does not know. After all, any Arhat can slap a Peak Grade 1 to death.
“Your Majesty, the young monk might be from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.” The Old Taoist said.
“Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall?”
Emperor Li Sheng put down the intelligence report and looked at the Old Taoist.
The Old Taoist came from overseas. He was much more experienced and knowledgeable in this field, so when Emperor Li Sheng had any doubts, he would ask the Old Taoist.
The Old Taoist was also happy to help. After some time of getting along, he could also see that Emperor Li Sheng had a certain status in Su Qin’s eyes.
How could the Old Taoist let the opportunity of getting closer with Emperor Li Sheng pass?
Therefore, the Old Taoist answered Emperor Li Sheng’s questions. Even if it involved the secrets of Dao Yi Men, he would speak without the slightest hesitation.
“Yes.”
The Old Taoist nodded.
“This young monk went to the Vajra Temple not long ago. He then left the Vajra Temple and moved towards the south…”
Emperor Li Sheng continued to look at the intelligence report.
Today, the information network established by the Tang Empire has spread all over the Empire. Not to mention that a figure like the 9th Ancestor walking on the official roads, even without searching much, Emperor Li Sheng would naturally grasp his whereabouts.
“Something’s not right.”
“This person’s goal is the Shaolin Temple!”
Emperor Li Sheng’s eyes shrank and his complexion greatly changed.
According to the action trajectory of the young monks in intelligence, he should be interested in Buddhism and in the south, there was only the Shaolin Temple that was Buddhist in nature.
“I’m afraid it’s too late.”
Emperor Li Sheng’s face was heavy.
The information he got was things that had happened a few days ago. Now the young monk should have arrived at the Shaolin Temple.
“This matter needs to be told to Third Brother.”
Emperor Li Sheng got up immediately and moved towards the East Palace.
The relationship between Su Qin and the Shaolin Temple was not known to many people in the world, but Emperor Li Sheng was one of those few who knew.
Therefore, when Emperor Li Sheng realized that the Shaolin Temple might be in trouble, he planned to immediately inform Su Qin.

At the same time, the figure of the 9th Ancestor was illusory as he was walking in the Shaolin Temple.
As a Peak Arhat with a Mini Domain, it was not hard to hide from everyone in the Shaolin Temple.
“Huh?”
“An array is actually set up there?”
The 9th Ancestor looked in the direction of the Back Mountain Forbidden Area, and his expression was a little surprising.
“Interesting.”
The 9th Ancestor took a step and appeared in front of the Back Mountain. He took another step, crossed 90% of the array, and came into the Back Mountain.
“The array is cleverly arranged, but its owner is, at most, a 4th or 5th Heavenly Layer Arhat. It’s not the Buddha’s aura that I’m looking for…”
The 9th Ancestor was disappointed.
He originally came to the Shaolin Temple with great hopes, so with this result, how could he not be disappointed?
Just as the 9th Ancestor was pondering, he took another step subconsciously and entered the Back Mountain Forbidden Area where Su Qin had secluded before.
[Weng~]!
Suddenly, the 9th Ancestor seems to have touched a certain restriction.
The array covering the entire Back Mountain Forbidden Area suddenly began to vibrate.
Clouds and mists lingered. One after another, fog dragons kept condensing and swarmed towards the 9th Ancestor.
“An array set up by a 4th or 5th Heavenly Layer Arhat could detect me?” The 9th Ancestor was stunned.
At this moment, the Shaolin Temple was in an uproar.
The Back Mountain Forbidden Area was the place where Su Qin secluded himself. It was also related to the Cultivation speed of the many disciples of the Shaolin Temple.
If a change occurs there, it would naturally immediately attract the attention of the Shaolin Temple.
In an instant, Abbot Hui Wen, the Court Heads and many disciples quickly came to the Back Mountain Forbidden Area, looking at the 9th Ancestor standing there.
“Those who trespass in the Shaolin Temple Forbidden Area, die!!!”
The Martial Monk Court Head had a hot personality and he immediately attacked. The Back Mountain Forbidden Area had extraordinary significance for the Shaolin Temple.
An outsider suddenly appeared, the Martial Monk Court Head naturally took action.
“Huh?”
The 9th Ancestor frowned, his thoughts moved.
Suddenly, the Martial Monk Court Head, who was rushing towards him froze, unable to move even a little bit.
“This is?”
The Martial Monk Court Head’s pupils shrank. 30 years later, with the help of the Essence Gathering Holy Land in the Back Mountain Forbidden Area and the recovery of vitality, he entered the Grade 1 Great Grandmaster. He might even complete his transformation at any time and become a Peak Grade 1 soon.
But now, the young monk in front of him made him freeze with just one look. This was simply terrifying!
“Grade 1 Great Perfection?”
“No, an Arhat?!”
The Martial Monk Court Head’s thoughts turned rapidly. Although his body was imprisoned, his thoughts were working at full speed, realizing the strength of the young monk.
Not far away, Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads saw this scene and their expressions changed slightly. They did not continue to attack the 9th Ancestor.
The 9th Ancestor was disinclined to pay any attention to the others, so he instead turned and looked towards the Back Mountain Forbidden Area. He whispered to himself: “I don’t believe it, a trifling array can stop me?”
The 9th Ancestor’s voice barely sounded and he already took another step. He wanted to enter Su Qin’s seclusion area.
[Hong long long~]!
In an instant, the array in the Back Mountain Forbidden Area was completely alarmed.
The World’s Essence Qi accumulated for decades suddenly began to rise, trying to block the entry of the 9th Ancestor.

At the moment when the array in the Back Mountain Forbidden of the Shaolin Temple was tempered with…
Under Chang’an City, in the Underground Palace, Su Qin, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly opened them.
“Who is it?”
Su Qin looked up in the direction of the Shaolin Temple.
