Sign In Buddha’s Palm

Chapter 259: Spring Rain.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“Not good!”

The 9th Ancestor seemed to have noticed something and his expression changed drastically. He wanted to recall the Buddhist beads.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Su Qin’s punch had already hit the Buddhist beads.

The Buddhist beads were left by a Great Arhat from the last prosperous era. Although it had suffered from the flow of time, it still retained its power.

On this alone, one could see that the 9th Ancestor was worthy of being an Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall for being able to wield it. He’s above ordinary Peak Legends.

But at this moment, after Su Qin’s punch…

[Bang~]!!!

Although the Buddhist beads seemed to be made out of some kind of wood, in fact it was metal. When Su Qin hit it, a loud bang resounded everywhere.

The Shaolin Temple disciples felt a clap of thunder blow into their ears, it was deafening. Even a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, like Xuan Ku, felt his mind go blank for a second.

[T/N: I think I’ve been mistranslating Xuan Ku’s Cultivation, he’s actually just a Peak Grade 1 from being Grade 1]

As for the weaker Shaolin Temple disciples, they fell to the ground and some even fainted.

After a moment, Xuan Ku’s Buddha’s Heart allowed him to gradually regain his senses. He looked up and saw Su Qin standing in place, as if he hadn’t moved.

The 9th Ancestor, on the other hand, had retreated several thousand meters away, almost exiting the range of the Back Mountain Forbidden Area. The light from the Buddhist beads had also obviously dimmed, as they were suspended in front of the 9th Ancestor.

“Venerable won?”

The Shaolin Temple disciples began to wake up, one after another and seeing this scene, they relaxed slightly. Just now, the Buddhist beads looked so imposing and terrifying.

Now, it seemed that the 9th Ancestor’s attack was blocked by Su Qin and the former had suffered a backlash. Otherwise, the former would not have retreated that far away.

“The Venerable is too strong.”

The Shaolin Temple disciples looked towards Su Qin, excitement emerging in their hearts. Even the old ones in the Shaolin Temple haven’t seen Su Qin take action before, even more those disciples who just came to the Shaolin Temple.

The 9th Ancestor solemnly stared at Su Qin, especially when he noticed that a shallow dent had appeared on one of the beads.

This was left by a Great Arhat. Although it could not be compared to when it was at its peak, it retained most of its power and was still a Great Arhat level treasure.

Yet, Su Qin was able to leave a mark on it! This could only mean that even if Su Qin was not an Earth Immortal, he should be very close. Maybe he had already transformed his Primordial Spirit and was ready to break through to Earth Immortal Realm.

The 9th Ancestor was frightened at the thought.

Although he still had some trump cards, they were, at most, similar to the Buddhist beads. Since Su Qin can deal such damage to the Buddhist beads, he could probably do the same to the others.

Not to mention that the 9th Ancestor did not dare to drag out this situation any longer. After all, he was close to the limit of his lifespan.

He might not even have the energy to find Buddha’s aura, so why would he use his remaining lifespan against a vigorous opponent like Su Qin?

Thinking like this, the 9th Ancestor decided to retreat.

As the 9th Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, he was not stupid. He would naturally retreat if he knew that he had no other options.

“I lost.”

The 9th Ancestor took the Buddhist beads back, moved towards Su Qin and cupped his hands together. He whispered: “The strength of the Venerable is rare in the world.”

The 9th Ancestor admitted frankly.

Hundreds of years ago, he was vigorous and could act without fear. He might have been able to use the treasures on hand against Su Qin.

But now…

Su Qin doesn’t even need to move much. As long as Su Qin dragged out the fight, the 9th Ancestor would be exhausted and his strength would plummet after 5 minutes.

“Your Buddhist beads are also quite hard.”

Su Qin shook his head and commented.

His body had been transformed almost six times. Coupled with a punch that sublimated from the fusion of thousands of Divine Arts, he still wasn’t able to break through the Buddhist beads. He only left a fist mark, it was indeed hard.

“Hard…”

The 9th Ancestor’s mouth corners twitched.

God knows how many enemies had been suppressed using the Buddhist beads, but now it only ended up as ‘hard’ in Su Qin’s mouth?

However, although the 9th Ancestor was gloomy, he also knew that Su Qin was fully qualified to say this. Such strength, if placed in the past, was enough to crush several generations. Other than an Earth Immortal, otherwise who could stop him?

“In that case.”

“I will leave first.”

The 9th Ancestor took one last deep look at Su Qin and his figure began to fade.

“This is?!”

Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads were stunned.

Just now, the 9th Ancestor was still standing there, talking to Su Qin, but the next moment, he disappeared silently, as if he was never here to begin with.

“An interesting way to escape.”

Though, it only aroused a smile on Su Qin’s face.

Although in the eyes of Abbot Hui Wen and the others, the 9th Ancestor disappeared out of thin air. In Su Qin’s view, it was just an embodiment of the fast speed of the 9th Ancestor.

At that moment, the 9th Ancestor used some kind of escape technique to move towards the West at an unimaginable speed.

Even the fading silhouette left by the 9th Ancestor was because of the very fast speed.

Su Qin had a thoughtful look, as he looked in the direction where the 9th Ancestor was escaping. Finally, he shook his head and said: “However, you can’t escape.”

He had the [Eyes of Truth] and [Celestial Eyes]. As long as Su Qin had seen a person once, the 9th Ancestor in this case, even if the other party escaped to the ends of the earth, he could still lock on to the latter’s location from an endless distance.

This was why Su Qin still hasn’t chased the 9th Ancestor.

Unless the 9th Ancestor can completely leave this realm and hide in a spatial magic weapon independent of the world, like the War God Temple, then the whereabouts of the 9th Ancestor will always be viewed by Su Qin.

“Venerable.”

At this time, Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads gathered around and bowed slightly to Su Qin.

“Get up.”

Su Qin waved his hand and looked at the Shaolin Temple disciples.

Although Su Qin and the 9th Ancestor only exchanged some moves for a bit, for some disciples who were new to Martial Arts, it was no less than a disaster.

Especially when Su Qin’s fist collided with the Buddhist beads. The residual energy that had fluctuated around even shook Xuan Ku’s mind who had Buddha’s Heart, not to mention ordinary disciples.

The Shaolin Temple disciples in the Middle and Upper Realm were fine. Although their faces were pale and they felt lethargic, they would be fine after some rest. But those disciples of the Lower Realm had fainted on the spot.

If Su Qin just left them be, these disciples would form Heart Demons.

Feeling Su Qin’s gaze, the Court Heads immediately reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to check the fainted disciples.

The Bodhi Court Head was good at concocting pills and was proficient in medicine. At this moment, after watching the fainted disciples, he slightly frowned.

“Abbot.”

The Bodhi Court Head walked quickly in front of Abbot Hui Wen and said solemnly: “These disciples are in a strange state, and many seem to have entered Cultivation Deviation.”

Abbot Hui Wen’s expression changed.

Abbot Hui Wen couldn’t be more clear about what Cultivation Deviation meant. He almost suffered Cultivation Deviation back then because he seeked instant benefit. If Su Qin didn’t take action at that time, there would have been no Abbot Hui Wen now.

“This is troublesome.”

Abbot Hui Wen looked troubled. The hidden dangers of Cultivation Deviation were so great that even if the disciples survived by chance, they would still be left with permanent effects.

Just when Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads were overcome with pessimism, not knowing what to do, Su Qin strode forward.

These disciples can also be regarded as Su Qin’s descendants, so Su Qin will naturally not let them die when he’s literally in front of them.

Su Qin’s thoughts moved and a drop of Wood Spirit Liquid appeared in front of him.

This Wood Spirit Liquid was obtained from Su Qin’s Sign In over the past few decades.

“Scatter!”

Su Qin let out some aura and the drop of Wood Spirit Liquid turned into countless mists, melding into the clouds.

[Bang~]

It soon started to rain, as if it was spring.

Wherever the rain passeed, everything would recover. The fainted disciples on the ground, felt a warm current coursing through their bodies when they were showered by the rain. The warmth then moved towards their limbs and bones.

“I… I’m okay?”

A disciple opened his eyes. He was not even a Martial Artist yet. He was dazed, as he looked at his hands. He felt that his condition was better than ever before, and he even felt that within his body, there were slight signs of the birth of Internal Strength.

It was not only this disciple, but all of the other disciples showered by the spring rain woke up. They not only got rid of the Cultivation Deviation, but they also felt their Cultivation had improved.

Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads looked at all this, dumbfounded, as if they had seen divine intervention. Cultivation Deviation was extremely complicated and everyone had different types of Cultivation Deviation. To save a Martial Artist from it, one must analyze various reasons. Not to mention, whether one can be cured still largely depends on luck.

But now?

With just some rain, all of the disciples stood up and were alive.

“Many thanks Venerable.”

Abbot Hui Wen moved towards Su Qin and bowed deeply.

At this point, how could he still not know that it was because of Su Qin?

“Many thanks Venerable.”

The cured disciples also moved towards Su Qin and bowed together in great gratitude.

Su Qin did not comment.

A drop of Wood Spirit Liquid contained enough vitality to make a Legend’s eyes hot. Naturally, rescuing these disciples was as simple as eating and drinking.

At the same time, several thousands li away from Shaolin Temple.

The figure of the 9th Ancestor appeared quietly. Each step he took would propel him forward several dozen li. Finally, he stopped.

“The Venerable of the Shaolin Temple has transformed his Primordial Spirit? How could he be so strong?”

Until this moment, the 9th Ancestor had no time to think about the details of his fight with Su Qin.

“But I didn’t feel the aura of a Primordial Spirit at all…” The 9th Ancestor shook his head, full of doubts.

Once a Peak Legend transforms his Divine Sense into Primordial Spirit, the Primordial Spirit would emit an aura. But the 9th Ancestor did not feel the slightest amount of Primordial Spirit aura on Su Qin.

“Could it be that he hadn’t formed his Primordial Spirit yet?”

The 9th Ancestor frowned and thought hard, only to come to this conclusion.

“But without relying on the strength of a Primordial Spirit, how could he leave a fist mark on the Buddhist beads? How strong is this Venerable’s body then?”

The 9th Ancestor had a hard time fathoming this possibility.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall produced many Great Arhats in the past, especially in the last prosperous era.

But from ancient times to the present, the 9th Ancestor has not heard of a Great Arhat who was able to use just their body to leave marks on a Great Arhats level treasure, whilst at the Legend Realm.

This was all under the premise that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall attached great importance to the tempering one’s body. Otherwise, if it were other Major Sects, their bodies would be even weaker.

“However, my [Divine Steps Escape Technique] is one of the best. Even in the last prosperous era, it was famous for its power.”

A smile appeared on the 9th Ancestor’s face.

The [Divine Steps Escape Technique] was derived from a magic power of Buddhism. Although it was far inferior to the original, it was a great escape technique.

“Unfortunately, the cost of using [Divine Steps Escape Technique] is too much.”

The 9th Ancestor lightly sighed. In just a short time, he had already spent most of the True Essence within his body.

The reason why the [Divine Steps Escape Technique] stopped here was to see if Su Qin caught up. Second, he was also taking the opportunity to recover and make up for the lost True Essence.

“It seems that the Venerable hadn’t given chase.” The 9th Ancestor waited for a while, but after not detecting Su Qin’s aura, he slightly relaxed.

If Su Qin really caught up, the 9th Ancestor wouldn’t dare to return to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

He was unsure whether the 6th and 7th Ancestor had arrived. Once Su Qin found out the location of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, it would absolutely bode ill to the sect.

Next, the 9th Ancestor did not dare to stay in the Tang Empire for a long time, so he moved towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall deep in the Western Desert.

As he was recovering, the 9th Ancestor naturally did not have the luxury of using the [Divine Steps Escape Technique]. After confirming that Su Qin had not chased him, the 9th Ancestor relaxed a lot and slowly returned to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

After a little half a day later, the 9th Ancestor came to the Western Desert.

He looked at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall in the depths of the Western Desert and joy flashed across his face.

“The 6th Ancestor and 7th Ancestor are here?” The 9th Ancestor whispered to himself and eagerly moved towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.
