Chapter 243: Continue Making Things Up, The Monk Disciple Formally Takes A Teacher, Entering The Ancient Battlefield Once More
F*ck me!
‘What’s going on with the monk disciple?’
‘Going mad?’
‘What have I done to make the monk disciple go mad?’
Chu Kuangren may appear very calm on the surface, but deep down, he brooded over the monk as he had a lot of questions.
Did he not just say six words?
How could it possibly make a monk disciple go mad?
If he knew something like that would happen earlier, he would not have made things up on the fly. If something bad were to happen to this monk disciple, would Thunder Temple seek him out for payback?
Chu Kuangren kept on thinking about various measures to save the monk.
Although he was not afraid of the Thunder Temple, he did contribute to Wu Ye’s current situation. He could not possibly stand idly and watch without helping.
Chu Kuangren looked at Wu Ye and secretly gritted his teeth.
‘I must continue making things up!’
“Life is made by oneself, while appearances are made by the heart, hence everything in the world is simply an appearance. If the heart doesn’t move, all things are immovable. If the heart doesn’t change, nothing changes.”
“A foolish thought is the end of wisdom, while a sensible thought is the birth of wisdom.”
“All appearances are illusory. If one sees that all appearances are not, in fact, their true manifestations, then one shall see the Buddha...”
Chu Kuangren no longer cared if those verses made sense. He simply continued to recite the Buddhist classics that he had read from his previous life.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master was stunned speechless. From what he heard, every word that Chu Kuangren uttered contained an extremely exquisite Buddhist doctrine.
‘What level of enlightenment must one achieve in Buddhism to speak these words!’
‘Our Sect Leader can’t possibly be the living reincarnation of the Buddha, right?’
Beside him, Leng Changkong looked at Wu Ye with pity in his eyes.
‘It’s over, it’s all over.’
‘The six words that our Sect Leader said have already led Master Wu Ye to the brink of madness. Now that he’s spoken even more words...’
‘Is Master Wu Ye going to blow up on the spot?’
The more Leng Changkong thought about it, the more he felt that it could happen. He then quietly gestured to the other disciples behind him, signaling them to
step back.
As the exquisite Buddhist verses came out from Chu Kuangren’s mouth, Wu Ye’s grim face gradually turned serene.
His previously agitated spiritual energy had calmed down as well. Suddenly, a very strong Buddhist Light radiated from his body and burst into the skies.
He had gained a realization!
One by one, the doubts that had troubled him for many years were now solved under Chu Kuangren’s guidance, and the realm of his Buddhist cultivation had gone up a notch as well.
Although he had only comprehended a small part of what Chu Kuangren said, it made him admire the latter even more.
“Please accept my respects, teacher.”
In the eyes of the public, Wu Ye then knelt before Chu Kuangren and kowtowed towards him.
The sight of that shocked the cultivators around them beyond words.
That was the Thunder Temple’s monk disciple and also a Young Emperor among the younger generation, yet he was now prostrating willingly before Chu Kuangren.
It was truly unbelievable.
“Please stand up.” Chu Kuangren stood unmoved and accepted Wu Ye’s respects, but he felt relieved at the same time too.
‘Finally, everything’s over.’
Wu Ye stood up and said, “Teacher, please allow me to be your student. Your Buddhist cultivation is so high that it’s unbelievable. Just a little bit of guidance from you was enough to answer my doubts, even if I only comprehended a small part of it.”
“Your guidance has benefited me for the rest of my life, how can I repay such kindness you’ve given me? So from today onwards, I shall address you as my teacher.”
“Master Wu Ye, you’re too polite.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled. The fact that Wu Ye wanted Chu Kuangren to be his teacher did not mean that he truly acknowledged Chu Kuangren as a true teacher but it was simply an honorific instead
He would not mind it as long as it did not affect him.
With the release of the Tormented Army and cleaning up the battlefield done, Chu Kuangren was considering whether he should enter the Ancient Battlefield’s Core Area again.
After some pondering, he decided to go ahead and take a look. However, because the Ancient Battlefield’s Core Area was an extremely dangerous place, he decided to leave Lan Yu behind in Sunsoil City temporarily and went ahead to explore himself.
...
On the Ancient Battlefield.
Within the Inner Zone, Chu Kuangen had just passed by the Ancient Lou Kingdom.
After the Tormented Army had broken through their seal, the enchanted boundary had already dissipated, exposing the great ancient city under the Sun.
Chu Kuangren sighed softly as he looked at the dilapidated wall of the ancient kingdom. The Lou Kingdom was also a powerful sage orthodoxy back in the day as its foundation was even stronger than that of the likes of the Royal Azure Dynasty.
Yet despite how strong it was, the great Lou Kingdom still could not escape the fate of destruction.
This proved that nothing was everlasting in this world. At that thought, Chu Kuangren’s desire for strength grew stronger.
He could only ensure the Black Heaven Sect’s survival by becoming stronger.
By becoming an Emperor!
No, he wanted to surpass even the great Emperors!
Chu Kuangren’s eyes then lit up with determination.
Looking at the ancient city in front of him, he suddenly recalled something. “I guess Shang Han took that Boundary Emperor weapon away, huh? That’s interesting. I do wonder when he’ll dare to seek me out after obtaining that Boundary Emperor weapon?”
He suddenly looked forward to their encounter upon thinking of that.
He was unbeatable among the younger generation. If a few strong cultivators were to appear before him, he would gladly meet and take them on.
He would treat it as a way of relief so that he would not be too bored all the time.
At that moment.
Sounds of a fight suddenly came from the Lou Kingdom’s Palace.
Chu Kuangren’s figure turned into a stream of light and in the next instant, he was at the Lou Kingdom’s palace.
A group of cultivators was there fighting over something.
“Hand over the Sage’s bones! Otherwise, don’t you think of leaving here alive,” a sturdy-looking man yelled at another young man.
The cultivators around were staring menacingly at the young man as well. The unyielding young man then replied coldly, “You guys want this Sage’s bones? In your dreams!”
“Hmph, then death shall come to you.”
Everyone then rushed forward and attacked the young man.
The overall cultivation base of that group was not weak, and even the weakest was a Battle Monarch. Meanwhile, the young man’s combat strength was at the level of a Late-Stage Honorable.
However, there were at least three people there who had similar combat strength to him, so the young man was outnumbered and he soon fell into a disadvantage.
When Chu Kuangren arrived, that young man was already filled with bruises and injuries.
Chu Kuangren pondered upon overhearing their conversation.
“A Sage’s bones.”
“If I’m not mistaken, that must be the Lou Kingdom Ruler’s remains. I can’t believe that his body was left here.”
The Lou Kingdom’s appearance naturally attracted many adventurers to it.
After Chu Kuangren had cleared out the Lou Kingdom’s treasure and Shang Han took the Boundary Emperor weapon away, the most valuable thing there was naturally the Sage’s bone.
That was what those people were fighting over as of now.
Seeing that the young man was bruised and injured, Chu Kuangren had no intentions to strike. After all, he did not know the young man.
Incidents where cultivators killed each other to steal, loot, and pillage were very common.
After a while, the young man had his arm cut off by another cultivator who took off with that arm and the Yin and Yang ring on it.
The Sage’s bones were kept within that Yin and Yang ring!
Everyone immediately rushed to it.
“The Sage’s bones are mine.”
“F*ck off!”
However, a surge of absorption force then landed on the broken arm. Chu Kuangren simply reached out to grab it and took off that Yin and Yang ring.
His spiritual thoughts could sense that the Lou Kingdom Ruler’s remains were indeed stored inside that ring.
The surface of the remains radiated golden light and emanated faint surges of Daoist Rhyme. That skeletal remains were much stronger than the remains of ordinary Sages.
Chu Kuangren concluded that when the Lou Kingdom’s Ruler was alive, his cultivation base could be close to a Great Sage.
It was extremely rare to find such a strong cultivator now as not all the sage orthodoxies on the Firmament Star had a Great Sage watching over them.
“This set of skeletal remains is no doubt extremely valuable.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up.
Meanwhile, the cultivators’ expressions suddenly turned ugly when they saw Chu Kuangren taking that Yin and Yang ring. Some of them did not even say a single word before they armed themselves with weapons and rushed up to him, wanting to kill him and steal his loot.
