Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1114: Push the Tower (Part 1)

When the Magical Treasure Flying Ship had flown nearly ten thousand miles, Yuanyuan suddenly said, "Master, we’re almost there!"

Wang Chen, who was seated in meditation on the Earth Origin Meditation Mat with his eyes closed, abruptly opened his eyes and waved his hand to conjure the Water Mirror.

At the same time, he reduced the speed of the flying ship.

But maintained its altitude unchanging.

Hovering above the clouds, Wang Chen peered through the Water Mirror to gaze down upon the earth, searching for suspicious targets.

The Water Mirror built into this Magical Treasure Flying Ship could reveal a hundred-mile radius below even through clouds and mist, allowing a clear view of the surroundings, which was incredibly convenient and practical.

He soon made a discovery and immediately directed the Water Mirror at the target, zooming in for a closer observation.

"It’s that tower!"

Yuanyuan immediately cried out, and then expressed confusion, "Huh, when did a temple appear here?"

She scratched her head and said, "I did not see it last time."

"It matters not."

Wang Chen immediately controlled the Magical Treasure Flying Ship, landing it about two to three hundred miles away from that temple.

He retracted the flying ship and once again collected Yuanyuan into the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon, then his figure flickered and he vanished from the spot in an instant.

A moment later, Wang Chen appeared in front of the temple.

The temple before his eyes was grand in scale and built with an imposing presence, but to Wang Chen, this structure was clearly a special creation.

That is to say, the temple itself was an immensely large Magic Artifact!

Within the temple grounds, there was a grand hall, and behind the hall stood a tall tower, emitting a faint Buddhist radiance.

It gave off a sense of majesty and solemnity.

The Haotian Realm is part of the Upper Realm, where the Taoist Vein is the undeniable orthodox path of cultivation, overshadowing all other schools, with its formidable influence being unquestionable.

Among the numerous marginal paths, the Buddhist Sect holds the first rank, and although it is in no way comparable to the Taoist Vein, it has a heritage that spans tens of thousands of years, with the Buddha Vein extending unbroken.

Although most Taoist cultivators look down upon Buddhist practitioners, it is undeniable that the Buddhist Sect has a particular set of skills for dealing with Evil Wraiths, and since they have always held the Taoist Sect in high regard, they are afforded a place in the myriad worlds, including the Haotian Realm.

In some minor thousand worlds, the Buddhist Sect is quite flourishing!

Therefore, encountering a temple in the land of the Nine States is quite normal. Usually, the Buddhist Sect builds their monasteries far from Immortal Cities, not competing with the Taoist Sect for Spirit Veins, presenting a stance of being aloof from worldly affairs.

And under normal circumstances, Taoist cultivators wouldn’t easily provoke monks, especially those Traveling Monks adventuring outside, who often possess excellent skills and profound strength.

"Amitabha Buddha~"

Just as Wang Chen was observing the temple, a chant of Buddha’s name suddenly came from within, and a figure appeared in front of the temple gate.

The person was clad in a Kasaya and holding a Zen Staff, with a compassionate and dignified appearance, he greeted Wang Chen, "I am Zen Master Fa Hai. I have seen my fellow daoist, but what brings you here in such honor?"

Zen Master!

Wang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he responded without showing any emotion, "So it’s Master Fa Hai. I am here looking for an acquaintance."

The Buddhist Zen Master is equivalent to a Nascent Soul True Immortal. He did not expect that the person suppressing Bai Susu would actually be a Buddhist practitioner of the Zen Master rank. This was a far cry from Yuanyuan’s previous account.

Clearly, there had been changes to the situation.

"Looking for an acquaintance?"

Fa Hai puzzled, "There are a total of one hundred and eight monks in this monastery, may I ask which one is your friend?"

"Heh heh."

Wang Chen chuckled, "Why would Master feign ignorance?"

Intuition told Wang Chen that the monk before him definitely knew the purpose of his visit but pretended to be confused.

He simply decided to confront the issue directly.

"I do not understand what the daoist friend is referring to..."

Fa Hai shook his head and said, "If the fellow Daoist does not disdain it, please enter the monastery for a talk. Should my humble monastery indeed have the friends of fellow Daoist, this monk will certainly not obstruct you. I hope fellow Daoist understands."

Wang Chen sighed and said, "This monastery of yours is too big; I fear once I go in, I won’t be able to come out."

He had already seen through the secrets of this monastery, how could he possibly jump in himself and give his opponent the chance to trap him like a turtle in a jar!

Fa Hai frowned, "Fellow Daoist seems to have some misunderstandings about this monk."

"Between men, there are no misunderstandings!"

Wang Chen waved his hand and said, "It’s just a fortunate meeting, Zen Master Fa Hai. Let’s have a bout before we talk!"

As his voice fell, he swung a palm through the air, striking towards the other side.

The overwhelming palm force instantly surged toward Fa Hai with a momentum that seemed to move mountains and overturn seas!

Mountain Splitting Palm!

Although this was a Golden Core tier spell, under the push of Wang Chen’s Nascent Soul cultivation level, it truly possessed the power to split mountains and break peaks.

However, faced with such a surging force, Fa Hai stood in front of the monastery gate without evading or dodging, his face calm and smiling.

Boom!

Accompanied by a dull thunderous sound, the Buddhist Zen Master was hit head-on by the Mountain Splitting Palm force yet remained unmoved.

It was only that the kasaya Fa Hai was wearing shimmered with a pale golden glow, bestowing upon him a protective barrier.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Fa Hai brought his palms together and revealed a compassionate gaze: "Fellow Daoist has too much aggressive energy. It is a sin, a sin!" freēnovelkiss.com

His strike having no effect, Wang Chen didn’t feel any surprise.

This palm of his had only used fifty percent of his mana, and though Fa Hai seemed to block it effortlessly, in reality, the Zen Master had relied on the power of the monastery behind him to craft an image of invincibility.

An ordinary Nascent Soul True Immortal, if without a Spiritual Treasure, would feel like retreating upon witnessing such a scene.

This Fa Hai himself was a Nascent Soul Rank Zen Master, and with the might of a heavy treasure, his strength could be said to be unfathomably profound.

But Wang Chen, who wanted to rescue Bai Susu, knew he must topple the monastery!

Unwilling to waste more words with his opponent, he immediately leapt into the air, releasing the Qijue Sword with a flick of his hand.

Clang!

Along with a resounding clang, seven Extreme Grade Magical Treasure Flying Swords flew out at the same time, sword lights like shooting stars piercing the sky, forming a sword formation around the monastery in an instant.

Seeing such a scene, Fa Hai’s pupils suddenly narrowed, and his expression abruptly turned fierce.

No longer able to maintain his compassionate facade.

"Buddha has three points of anger. Since fellow Daoist insists on pushing so hard, do not blame this monk for being impolite!"

Before his voice faded, the great monk suddenly retreated a step backward, his figure instantly vanishing into the gates.

The next moment, chants began to emit from the monastery.

At first, the chants were like melodious hymns, quickly becoming louder and even causing a resonance between heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the monastery emitted thousands of golden lights, entwining towards the Flying Swords in the sky!

However, at this moment, Wang Chen had already fully activated the Qijue Sword Formation, and with his command, thousands of fiercely sharp Sword Qi shot out, instantly crushing and defeating the incoming golden light.

Immediately following, sword qi battered the monastery’s surface, halted by an invisible barrier, and countless ripples arose in the wake.

For the time being, it was a standoff.

But the true power of the Qijue Sword Formation had yet to be revealed.

Under Wang Chen’s control, the seven Extreme Grade Magical Treasure Flying Swords unleashed varying powers, with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning striking in succession, the forces of heaven, earth, and man pressing down layer by layer. Countless sword beams crisscrossed mercilessly, grinding away at the monastery’s defenses relentlessly.
