Chapter 434: Heita: Su Chen's Luck is Rare in the World |
The Immeasurable Buddha was still pondering the potential consequences this matter could produce. Hearing the sudden shout, he could only gather his thoughts and respond respectfully: "Daoist Lord."
"This Daoist Lord Lingxiao is a Vast Sun?" Chu Linyuan looked at the Immeasurable Buddha, whose face had changed, and immediately realized.
Although just by hearing his title, he knew it definitely wasn't a small figure, but a Vast Sun... his heart couldn't help but skip a beat in shock.
"Master actually had this kind of backup plan?" Qing Cang only found it Unimaginable. Looking at Su Chen's back, he was vaguely filled with Suspicion.
The Order's members were all Staring with tongue tied. That bald guy had previously dispersed the Phantom Image left behind by the Ancient King so effortlessly, and with his unreasonable remarks, it seemed he had already eaten them alive.
But now, to actually be so reverent to the human face in the Firmament, what level of existence was this self-proclaimed Daoist Lord Lingxiao?
Han Xiao beside Kong Ming, however, vaguely had a bad premonition, his face twisting: "How could the Bronze Sect still have this kind of Method!"
"Did you understand what I just said?" Daoist Lord Lingxiao's voice echoed. "However much the Bronze Heaven loses, I will go to the Buddha Land and take that much back."
Hearing this, the Immeasurable Buddha's face changed continuously. He could feel that this was just an insignificant wisp of power. Although it carried the prestige of Daoist Lord Lingxiao, it didn't have any real might, it was only used for passing a message.
From the corner of his eye, the Immeasurable Buddha glanced at the Starfire, and then sensed Su Chen standing not far away. Besides the Starfire in this Bronze Sect, the only thing that gave him a bit of interest was this Su Chen.
But... was it worth becoming enemies with Daoist Lord Lingxiao for this?
Since High Heaven had absorbed this Bronze Sect as the Ninth Heaven, this wasn't a simple protection, but truly a part of High Heaven.
If something went wrong with this Bronze Sect, even if Daoist Lord Lingxiao himself wanted to let the matter drop, he might not be able to.
Whether it was the external public opinion of the Abyssal Domain or internal to High Heaven, it would push Daoist Lord Lingxiao to demand an explanation, as compensation for the humiliation of having a "Heaven" forcibly destroyed by the Buddha Land.
Daoist Lord Lingxiao didn't urge him either, just looking at him indifferently.
The Immeasurable Buddha's eyes flickered, and eventually he said in a low voice: "Since this place is High Heaven's Bronze Heaven, we will naturally withdraw."
"Buddha..." Han Xiao's eyelids twitched. He couldn't help but speak, but could only utter these two words before his mouth and tongue were sealed.
Hearing these words, Chu Linyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief slightly. Qing Cang stared at the Immeasurable Buddha with a cold and harsh gaze.
Withdrawing?
The other higher-ups present, as well as the numerous members of the Order, although lost and confused, couldn't help but feel a bit invigorated seeing that the bald guy seemed to have given in.
But they were still somewhat apprehensive in their hearts. After all, what High Heaven, what Bronze Heaven, they had never heard of it.
They just vaguely understood that their Order seemed to have merged into someone else's faction. Although it seemed very powerful, and even the bald guy had to avoid it, it was still unknown what changes would occur afterwards.
Regardless, the current crisis of being overturned was indeed resolved, bringing somewhat a feeling of Surviving a disaster.
Hearing these words, that Daoist Lord Lingxiao didn't give any response. His gaze swept over, but didn't find the Head of the Bronze Sect who had previously sacrificed to him.
The rolling golden tide curled back, turning into the White Jade Command Token again, falling into Su Chen's palm. Unlike before, two characters gradually surfaced in the center of the token—Bronze.
It trembled slightly, and a stream of information transmitted from the token.
"Have the Heavenly Lord of the Bronze Heaven construct a Heavenly Gate as soon as possible. High Heaven will be responsible for all consumptions afterwards."
Su Chen's expression flickered. The information this Daoist Lord Lingxiao gave him was exactly the specific steps for constructing a Heavenly Gate. It was similar to a Star Gate, but it connected to High Heaven, which was far away in the Abyssal Domain. The various Materials consumed could be called massive.
Once the construction was completed, heading to the Abyssal Domain wouldn't require spending a long time on the road, which was quite convenient.
"Yes, Daoist Lord." Su Chen responded seriously and put away the token.
Looking up, he saw the Immeasurable Buddha still standing in place. Qing Cang's voice was deep and stagnant, "Forgive us for not seeing the guest out."
The depths of the Immeasurable Buddha's eyes were a patch of ice. Such a small figure dared to bark wildly at him. If it wasn't for...
He shook his head and said indifferently: "Please open the door."
Open the door?
Chu Linyuan paused slightly, and only then reacted. The other party was talking about the Bronze Shield. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart; when the other party came, he had passed directly through the Bronze Shield.
Why wasn't he using that Method now? Could it be because the price was too high?
Chu Linyuan also had the mind to mock him a couple of times, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. With a flick of his finger, a Rift surfaced on the Bronze Shield barrier.
The Immeasurable Buddha swept his gaze over the crowd before him, raised his hand and rolled it up, wrapping up everyone. They transformed into Streaking Light, passed through the Rift, and plunged straight into the depths of the Starry Expanse.
His speed was extremely fast. He soon went far away from the Bronze Sect and abruptly stopped in a barren Starry Sky. Looking back, he could still see the light emitted by the Bronze Sect's Starfire.
"Damn it!" He spat out two words, his face already turning indescribably gloomy.
The distance between the Royal Court and this Bronze Sect was not short, and they also had to pass through high-tier defense barriers. Using the Wheel of Salvation this time cost thousands of pieces of Faith Essence.
If he could take down this Bronze Sect, devour its Starfire, and make its Resources his own, it naturally wouldn't be a loss.
But right now, it was a massive loss.
This was also the reason why, in the end, even though he felt he couldn't save face, he still didn't use the Wheel of Salvation to leave. On the one hand, it was because the consumption was indeed not small, and on the other hand, it was because he hadn't yet determined where to go.
"Bronze Heaven... Bronze Heaven..." The Immeasurable Buddha's expression flickered. Daoist Lord Lingxiao already knew about this matter. The Professional Spirituality of that Sovereign of the Purple Zenith probably couldn't be jointly controlled by Great Heaven and the Buddha Land.
If this Daoist Lord Lingxiao was even more ruthless and informed Longevity and the Machine Domain, then it was equivalent to not finding this Vast Sun class.
"How could it be like this." The Immeasurable Buddha frowned tightly, truly unable to figure it out. Those few guys in the Flare Realm clearly knew nothing about the Abyssal Domain.
How did they bafflingly join High Heaven?
"Martial Uncle, since you've come, why hide." Suddenly, the Immeasurable Buddha turned his head to look at a certain spot in the void. Black mist-light swirled, and the shadow of Heita surfaced.
Heita? The expression of Han Xiao beside him changed slightly.
"Ate a loss?" Heita's gaze was astonished. He vaguely felt the unwillingness and anger coming from the Immeasurable Buddha.
After communicating with the Immeasurable Buddha, he had lain dormant nearby through the Nether Realm. Once the Bronze Sect's Starfire was devoured, he could act arbitrarily and directly make a move to capture that Su Chen.
But waiting until now, the situation seemed quite different from what he had imagined.
Hearing this, the Immeasurable Buddha's face changed slightly. His thoughts converged and became peaceful again. "It is said that Martial Uncle's Telepathy Holy Class has already derived several characteristics, it indeed lives up to its reputation."
Heita didn't understand: "The Bronze Ancient King shouldn't be here, right? Even if he is, he shouldn't be your match himself. You can also utilize the Wheel of Salvation, why did you withdraw so unwillingly?"
"Since Martial Uncle knows the hearts of others, why not take a guess?" The Immeasurable Buddha no longer needed a guide, nor did he need to feign politeness to Heita.
"Mm..." Heita's pitch-black eyes narrowed. "Since no battle broke out, it must be something that made you apprehensive. But the local Dust Star Sea shouldn't have it."
"The only thing that can confront a Vast Sun is a Vast Sun, the Abyssal Domain?"
"It seems I guessed right." Heita's gaze flowed, but looked at the group of people standing beside the Immeasurable Buddha. Han Xiao's gaze dodged, his heart feeling anxious.
"The Longevity Pillar, only those few people scattered about, almost not concerning themselves with worldly affairs. Is it Great Heaven, High Heaven, or..."
Before he finished speaking, Heita cried out in Suspicion, "It's actually High Heaven?"
The Immeasurable Buddha's face was extremely ugly. He could protect himself, but the emotional fluctuations of the others could be easily captured by Heita.
But at the same time, he suddenly realized one thing. Those so-called Ancient Kings indeed didn't understand the Abyssal Domain very well, but these Great Eldritch Gods understood it very well.
It was just that these guys didn't dare to easily approach the Nether Realm zone near the Abyssal Domain. Before they even came into contact with those Vast Suns, they would be devoured by wandering Final Ruins.
"It was you guys?" he suddenly said, his gaze cold and harsh.
"What us?" Heita didn't understand, but then understood and sneered: "You suspect me, or those few guys helped the Bronze Sect connect with High Heaven?"
The Immeasurable Buddha's face showed a Mercurial Mood. The distance between the Dust Star Sea and the Abyssal Domain was truly too far; ordinary communication Methods were simply useless.
At this kind of distance, almost only a Vast Sun could still receive specific messages.
But the method of directly sacrificing to Daoist Lord Lingxiao, even within High Heaven, was a secret among secrets. These few guys naturally wouldn't know.
The Immeasurable Buddha pondered for a while, but suddenly asked, "Martial Uncle waiting here, could it be you are hoping to reap the spoils as a third party?"
"Indeed that was the plan, a pity..." Heita's gaze was deep and serene, secretly sneering. The Immeasurable Buddha failing to achieve his goal was not good news for him.
"This person's luck is truly too good. When the Bronze Sect was completely off guard, there was a Qin Tianlin to take the knife for him. I personally lay dormant, and was ruined by Crimson's plotting. Now the Buddha Land descends, and he actually hitched a ride with High Heaven..."
Heita carefully calculated, remained silent for a long while, unable to speak.
"In this Bronze Sect, is there still something Martial Uncle covets?" The Immeasurable Buddha asked probingly, but saw Heita suddenly laugh, "Martial Nephew, you should rather think about how to explain to the World-Honored One."
Heita's laughter seemed near and far, disappearing into the Starry Expanse.
The Immeasurable Buddha snorted coldly, frowning tightly. If he had known earlier that Daoist Lord Lingxiao would intervene, his Methods wouldn't have been so cruel.
The essence of this Draining the Pond to Catch the Fish was because they wanted to block the news, destined to become enemies with those Radiant Moons.
If this news couldn't be blocked, the benefits of Draining the Pond to Catch the Fish wouldn't be that great.
The Immeasurable Buddha pondered, "Right now, Great Heaven's people are also making moves. Aside from that Sacred Cauldron and this Bronze, there are only three Orders left. The evil reputation has already been born, the other Orders will probably naturally resist me and cannot be Salvation-ed."
"I can only compete in speed with Great Heaven... Must go to the other few Orders as soon as possible to seize benefits."
And also the matter of Daoist Lord Lingxiao's intervention, must be reported to the World-Honored One as soon as possible. The Immeasurable Buddha calculated, smoothing out the next plan. The glow of the Wheel of Salvation gradually lit up.
.........
Seeing that Immeasurable Buddha truly leave, the numerous higher-ups of the Bronze Sect temporarily put their hearts back into their stomachs. Pairs of gazes converged on Su Chen, clearly wanting to figure out what High Heaven and Bronze Heaven exactly meant.
Chu Linyuan said in a deep voice: "Alright, everyone go back first."
"Venerable?" The Master of the Punishment Hall, Wu Feng, couldn't help but speak.
"Go back." Chu Linyuan frowned. "When it's time to explain to you, we will naturally explain to you. Now the Dust Star Sea has encountered a great change, the Royal Court's Starfire has disappeared, and the Sacred Cauldron Cult has been breached..."
What? Everyone's expressions were filled with horror. The Royal Court's Starfire disappeared, the Sacred Cauldron Cult breached?
This... this... is this still the Dust Star Sea they knew?
"Was it done by that Immeasurable Buddha just now?" Someone's throat rolled, and they asked cautiously.
"Pretty much. Don't spread the things that happened today for the time being." Chu Linyuan answered with Vague Prevarication. To be honest, he didn't know what was going on with this High Heaven's Bronze Heaven either, but right now he indeed had to pacify the people's hearts.
At least let them know that for the time being, it wasn't a bad thing.
Sounds of gasping cold air rose and fell in succession. Everyone foresaw that if Daoist Lord Lingxiao hadn't appeared to deter the Immeasurable Buddha.
The fate of the Bronze Sect probably wouldn't have been much better than the Royal Court and the Sacred Cauldron Cult.
"Did you hear clearly?" Chu Linyuan looked around. Seeing that the crowd's Surprised Expressions hadn't faded, he shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes, we understand." Only then did everyone react and hurriedly responded.
Temporarily pacifying everyone's thoughts, Chu Linyuan exchanged a glance with Qing Cang, and the two landed back on the Floating Island together with Su Chen.
As soon as they landed on the Floating Island, Chu Linyuan couldn't wait to ask, "Junior Brother, this High Heaven, and also the Bronze Heaven, what exactly is the situation? When did Master contact you?"
"Uh..." Su Chen had just anticipated this scene and already had a draft in his mind. He said: "It was shortly after Senior Brother Qing Cang left last time."
"I left last time?" Qing Cang made a slight estimation, his eyes becoming increasingly suspicious. "It hasn't even been a day. So coincidentally? How exactly did he contact you?"
Su Chen shot Lao Qing a glance: "Master's Methods are Unimaginable, I also don't quite understand. Anyway, Master's shadow just suddenly appeared."
"I'm afraid, Master also expected this day." Chu Linyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Qing Cang's gaze swept over Chu Linyuan, looking like he had Words Caught in His Throat.
But Su Chen didn't give Lao Qing a chance to speak, saying: "This High Heaven is one of the Five Pillars of the Abyssal Domain."
"Five Pillars?" Chu Linyuan and Qing Cang's minds were immediately attracted.
Su Chen gave them a rough explanation of the faction structure of the Abyssal Domain.
"Five Vast Suns existing together..." Chu Linyuan and Qing Cang's faces weren't lacking in shock. They clicked their tongues and said: "No wonder that Immeasurable Buddha was so arrogant."
"Then what does that Bronze Heaven mean." Chu Linyuan digested for a moment and asked again.
Su Chen pondered and said: "According to what Master said, this is because of High Heaven's internal structure. It originally consisted of Eight Heavens. After our Bronze Sect joins, we will be the Ninth Heaven, the Bronze Heaven."
"How exactly do we join?" Chu Linyuan's expression was nervous, not lacking in apprehension.
"According to Master..." Su Chen seemed to be recalling. "It seems we have to bring the Radiant Moon Spirit, as well as all Morning Star Spirits and their The Chosen to High Heaven to become the Bronze Heaven. There are no requirements for other members and disciples."
"As for our place here, it seems nothing will change, still managed by us."
"This..." Chu Linyuan and Qing Cang looked at each other. Taking away the Radiant Moon and Morning Star Spirits was within their expectations. The Bronze Sect's past process when devouring other factions was also pretty much the same.
But not making any changes to the Bronze Sect exceeded their expectations. It could even be said to be much better than their previous expectations.
