Chapter 37 Bodhi Scripture, Thousand-Hand Buddha!
“This gift is too valuable. It’s not suitable for me to take it.”
“This is only a transaction. Even if I bring the Bodhi Bead back, I won’t be able to find a Sacred Monk. Instead, if you travel the mountains, you will have a better chance of finding him.”
“Even if you can’t find it, you’ve worked hard. Comprehend the Bodhi Bead and treat it as my reward.”
Li Xuanxin stared at Ji Tianlin.
“Aren’t you afraid that I won’t return this Supreme Treasure to you?”
Ji Tianlin smiled.
“If you don’t give it to me and become greedy, you will become a demon. From now on, you will no longer have a Buddhist heart! Without a Buddhist heart, you will no longer be a Buddhist disciple. What’s the use of this Buddhist Supreme Treasure, the Bodhi Bead?”
Li Xuanxin smiled and no longer refused. Since it was a Supreme Treasure of the Bodhi Temple, it might have some Buddhist comprehension. It was also very good to comprehend.
As for finding the Sacred Monk… If he could not find this, he could give him some other exchange, such as secretly helping him once. It could be considered repayment for this karma.
Seeing Li Xuanxin accept it, Ji Tianlin smiled.
“I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first. See you if fate allows.”
“We’ll meet again if fate allows.”
The two of them bid farewell. Ji Tianlin used the Six Armor Divine Movement and vanished.
After sensing Ji Tianlin’s aura and completely leaving, Li Xuanxin held the Bodhi Bead in his hand and slightly released a trace of Buddhist power. The Bodhi Bead immediately soared like a bright sun.
A Buddha statue sat cross-legged in the Bodhi. It chanted Buddhist scriptures and was surrounded by peace and righteousness. Golden lotuses spun under it, filled with supreme might.
As long as this thing sensed the dense Buddhist power, it would react. However, Li Xuanxin never exposed his aura, so even if Ji Tianlin was beside him, it was impossible for him to sense it.
“What a good thing. As expected of a Dharma treasure given by the Bodhi Temple’s Master Bodhi. It’s filled with the profundities of the Buddhist Sect. If I can comprehend it, it might allow me to break through to the Firmament Realm!”
Li Xuanxin took a step and instantly disappeared. He found a mountain stream and began to study the Bodhi Bead.
He circulated the Muscle Strengthening Scripture and an Arhat Golden Body protected him.
This could prevent anyone from launching a sneak attack while he was comprehending.
Li Xuanxin immersed his Essence Soul in the Bodhi Bead and was wrapped by the supreme Buddhist power. He immediately felt his cultivation level increase rapidly.
“Amitabha, good, good! I didn’t expect that after a thousand years, there would actually be someone who could comprehend the profundities of the Bodhi Bead. It’s really one of the greatest blessings of our Buddhist faction.”
Li Xuanxin had just entered the Bodhi Bead when suddenly, a Buddhist voice attracted his attention.
On careful look, it was the Essence Soul of a Buddha.
“You are…?”
“Hehehe, I’m Master Jue Hui of Bodhi Temple.”
“A thousand years ago, when Middle Earth was in chaos, in order to eradicate the Devil General, Bone Corrosion, I sacrificed myself to the Buddha to eliminate the devils. I suppressed the devils and my Essence Soul was also sealed in the Bodhi Bead.”
“For a thousand years, I have been waiting for a fated person to solve the mystery of the Bodhi Bead and release my Essence Soul.”
“I see. Sorry for my lack of manners.”
‘However, although I’m a disciple of the Buddhist faction, I’m from Spirit Platform Temple and not Bodhi Temple. My inheritance is different, so I can’t release
you.’
“Why don’t I bring the Bodhi Bead to the Bodhi Temple and let Master Bodhi help Senior break the seal?”
Master Jue Hui’s eyes moved slightly, then he smiled.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Little child, you only need to learn the two supreme Buddhist cultivation techniques in this Bodhi Bead-Bodhi Scripture and Thousand-Hand Buddha. Cultivate them to the tenth level and you can release my Essence Soul.”
“So simple?”
“Yes!”
“But I’m not a disciple of the Bodhi Temple. Isn’t it a little inappropriate to cultivate the Supreme Technique of the Bodhi Temple?”
“Hehe, so what? The Buddhists of the world are one family. Besides, I have an extremely high status in the Bodhi Temple. With me as a guarantor, you won’t have any trouble. You can trust me freely.”
Li Xuanxin remained silent. He first imprinted the Bodhi Scripture and the Thousand-Handed Buddha on the Merit Golden Lotus.
Then, he said again, “Before cultivating, I want to ask Senior something.”
Jue Hui smiled faintly, “Go ahead.”
“Senior said that a thousand years ago, you sealed the Devil General, Bone Corrosion, in the Bodhi Bead. Then why is there only you here and not him?”
A hint of gloominess flashed across his eyes, but he still smiled calmly.
“Isn’t this very easy to understand? It’s been a thousand years. The Devil General has long been expiated by me using Buddhist Dharma. His soul has dissipated and he has vanished without a trace!”
“Oh~! Then Senior’s Buddhist cultivation should be very profound. Why… are you so impatient? You’re even inferior to a junior like me? Or is Senior the Devil General yourself?”
The smile on Master Jue Hui’s face gradually disappeared.
“Little monk, I didn’t expect you to be so scheming at such a young age!”
Then, his body transformed from an accomplished monk to a figure emitting black demonic Qi.
“That’s right, I’m the Devil General, Bone Corrosion! Originally, if you obediently learn the ten levels of the Bodhi Scripture and break the seal, I might let you live.”
“But you insisted on acting smart and exposing me.”
“Even if you expose me, what’s the point? My punch has 2,800 years of cultivation. Can you block it?”
“Hurry up and cultivate the tenth level of the Bodhi Scripture. Let me out. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer.”
However, just as he finished speaking, Li Xuanxin struck out with his palm.
Boom-!
The Buddhist light shone brightly. The entire Bodhi Bead was filled with Buddhist light. Three thousand years of cultivation transformed into a huge Buddhist palm. In an instant, it turned the Devil General into ashes!
“Sorry, this palm of mine has three thousand years of cultivation.”
Li Xuanxin said indifferently, but then he frowned.
Because he felt that the Devil General that he had shattered into pieces had actually condensed again and revived.
“Huff! Huff!”
His Essence Soul constantly absorbed the energy he dissipated and looked at Li Xuanxin in shock.
“You… How can you have three thousand years of cultivation? How old are you? Your bone age is at most thirty years. No, you are twenty years old at most! How can you have three thousand years of cultivation with twenty years of lifespan?”
Li Xuanxin was also a little surprised.
“You weren’t killed by my palm?”
Devil General, Bone Corrosion, came back to his senses and smiled coldly.
“I’ve been in this Bodhi Bead for a thousand years and have long become one with it. There are 108 perfected levels of the Bodhi Scripture and the Thousand-Hand Buddha in the Bodhi Bead!
“Unless you cultivate the Bodhi Temple or the Supreme Mystical Power of another Buddhist Sect and reach the perfected 108th level, exceeding the limits of the Bodhi Bead, you can’t kill me. No one can kill me.”
With that said, he suddenly laughed proudly.
“Hahaha… I suddenly don’t want to go out. You’ve entered the Bodhi Bead. As long as I don’t agree, you can’t leave.”
“I only have 2,800 years of cultivation, but you have 3,000 years of cultivation. You are a top-notch genius of the Human Race!”
“Sacrificing myself in exchange for a supreme genius with three thousand years of cultivation, this is simply a huge benefit to our Devil Race!”
“From now on, you will stay in this Bodhi Bead and accompany me obediently. Stay with me forever.”
Li Xuanxin’s expression did not change.
“Didn’t you just say that as long as one cultivates the Supreme Mystical Power of the Buddhist Sect and reaches the 108th level, they can surpass the bearing limit of the Bodhi Bead and kill you?”
