Chapter 799: Buddhist Cultivator

Cape III Planet

The current Space Battleships still have the same weapons: particle cannons, lasers, ultrasound weapons, and so on. This does not mean that Huaxia has stopped researching in this area; rather, other types of weapons do not have significant advantages, so there is no need to change them unless there is a groundbreaking advancement.

However, the same weapon can have very different powers. A fire spear is still a spear, and a sniper spear is also a spear, but can they be the same?

At that moment, an entire Space Fleet focused its fire on the bald man, whose expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly disappeared.

"Boom!"

After a series of intense attacks, the bald man reappeared, looking tattered and barely able to maintain his Soul Changing Dharma Appearance, coughing up blood heavily.

"So powerful!"

"So strong!"

"This body is stronger than that of the demon race."

But Shiyi and the others were incredibly shocked. They asked themselves, under the concentrated fire of the Space Fleet, could they hold out against it with their strength?

"Trying to escape."

"Capture him alive!"

The bald man was already deeply afraid. He quickly tried to escape, moving very fast. Shiyi and the others shouted loudly, preparing to catch him alive.

"Go!"

The three of them used their powers to block the bald man. He took out a club and smashed it down fiercely, causing Shiyi’s flying sword to cry out in pain.

"The thief is strong! Space Battleship, attack!"

Shiyi shouted loudly. In just one round, all three of them suffered setbacks, each being pushed back. This made them very upset. They had spent hundreds of years practicing various secret techniques in Tao Achieving, and yet they still could not defeat this person. This was simply too much.

"Puff"

A series of lasers appeared, and the bald man kept teleporting, not giving the Space Battleship a chance to lock onto him. His whole body was shining brightly as he quickly healed his injuries.

"Bang"

In the end, he was still caught in the area of effect of the ultrasonic weapon, and his body fell out of the teleportation.

"······"

The bald man finally couldn’t hold back and shouted angrily, but since there was a language barrier, Shiyi and the others didn’t understand what he was saying; they could only guess from his expression that he must have been cursing very badly.

The bald man vanished once more, appearing in space. He spoke truthfully, and a fire lotus appeared beneath his feet, spreading outwards and quickly swirling towards the Space Battleships.

"Danger, retreat!"

"Space jump!"

On every warship, the commanders realized the danger and immediately used all their energy to jump through space. The massive warships didn’t actually travel far, just tens of thousands of miles. Flying in space didn’t matter much since everything is measured in light-years, but during a battle, this emergency escape was very effective.

All the warships suddenly disappeared and reappeared thousands of miles away. The bald-headed man found it difficult to keep going; to extend for tens of thousands of miles took a huge toll on him.

The Space Battleship that reappeared focused its fire again, launching various weapons at the bald-headed man. He used his powers to dodge and summoned a shield to protect himself, struggling to survive.

"Five Elements Sword Classic, Nine Nine Returns to One."

"Escape Word Technique."

"Sword Classic, Celestial Flying Immortal."

Shiyi and the others joined the battle once more. As Tao Achieving Ancestor, if they couldn’t use any strength, they would feel very embarrassed. They all took out their strongest powers.

The bald-headed man was hindered by powerful techniques, feeling as if the space around him was thick like a swamp. His teleportation power had already failed, and he relied solely on his shield to withstand the attacks. But how many rounds could his shield withstand?

Gritting his teeth, the bald-headed man pulled out a gleaming golden stone. After crushing it, his power suddenly surged dozens of times. Not only did he instantly block the attacks, but he also broke free from the troubles of others and charged straight at a Space Battleship.

He has already seen that although the three Tao Achieving individuals are quite strong, they are not a match for him. Even with these space weapons, they pose a great threat to him.

No one knows how the bald man disappeared; anyway, in the next moment, he appeared beside a Space Battleship, raising the golden staff in his hand and smashing it heavily onto the Space Battleship.

"Boom"

The energy shield of the Space Battleship instantly shattered, and even the metal shell of the ship dented inward, causing the entire battleship to slide several kilometers away.

With just this one blow, he almost destroyed a Space Battleship.

"Prepare to launch the escape pod"

"Prepare the self-destruct system"

"Explode"

The commander of the Space Battleship remained very calm. When he saw the bald man attacking again, he directly activated the self-destruct system.

When the bald man came close again, the battleship exploded, and at the same time, the escape pod was shot out. The bald man also sensed this and quickly prepared to leave.

"Boom"

However, the treasure-hunting Space Battleship still overwhelmed the bald man. Especially since the Space Battleships were all powered by nuclear energy; when they exploded, it was like a nuclear bomb going off, creating a small sun right there.

"Damn it, still not dead."

Shiyi and the others received a search signal from another Space Battleship. The bald man hadn’t died yet, and they were all impressed. Surviving this was beyond their understanding.

After the nuclear explosion, the bald man appeared again. Although he wasn’t dead, his condition was definitely bad; his body looked like a skeleton, injured beyond recovery.

"·····"

The bald man stopped struggling and quickly sat cross-legged in the void. He murmured to himself, and golden light formed a symbol that floated in the air, radiating light in all directions, while his body had disappeared.

"Did he commit suicide?"

"It doesn’t look quite right."

Shiyi and the others did not understand what was happening; the presence of the bald man had disappeared, leaving only the swastika.

"Withdraw."

At that moment, Lin Jiang’s voice came through their watches. The three of them did not dare to be careless and immediately retreated.

·······

A day later, Lin Jiang and the senior leaders appeared once again in the space of Cape III Planet. The swastika was still there, and looking at it, Lin Jiang was filled with confusion.

He had already watched the battle video, and with this symbol, he was sure that the visitor was a monk. There were no monks on Blue Star; there were primitive religions that emphasized strict rules, but Lin Jiang was very certain there were no monks.

"This is a Buddhist seal; the visitor is a Buddhist cultivator."

At that moment, a voice entered Lin Jiang’s ear.

"I know the other side is a Buddhist cultivator."

"Do you know about Buddhist cultivation?"

"Is there something strange about it?"

"I am even more curious about your past world. Tell me what you know."

"Or you can speak first; I know it is very little."

"Well, Buddhist cultivation is also a kind of spiritual tradition, but it is different from our practice. In their philosophy of cultivation, they place more emphasis on training the physical body, making it extremely strong. They believe in achieving enlightenment through the body, which they refer to as becoming a Buddha…"

Xia Qingshan’s voice echoed in Lin Jiang’s ears again, sharing what he knew.

In Xia Qingshan’s past world, there were Buddhist cultivators; it was a tradition that came from another world, filled with strong life force and great temptation, which once caused significant chaos, but was ultimately destroyed by the heavenly path of his world.

Even the heavenly path of that world wanted to find the world of Buddhist cultivators for a counter-invasion, but in the end, they could not find it and had to give up.

"What are the levels of Buddhist cultivation, and what level is this monk?"

"Buddhist cultivation goes from low to high, called novice, monk, master, lawmaker, Zen master, diamond, arhat, bodhisattva, true Buddha, which correspond to the nine levels of cultivators. The Buddhist cultivator in front of us should be an arhat, corresponding to Tao Achieving."

"Arhat? Are their arhats that strong?"

Lin Jiang was a bit shocked; the monk’s displayed power was approaching that of Transmigration Stage.

"I don’t know the exact reason; Buddhist cultivation is a kind of cultivator. Theoretically, the strength of those who have achieved Tao should be the same, but you know that’s not possible; the difference between one Tao Achieving and another can sometimes be very large."

"Could it be that their cultivation civilization is stronger than ours?"

"It’s possible; the world of Buddhist cultivation is very different from ours."

"In what way is it different?"

"It’s very complicated; let’s talk when we have time. Right now, you need to find a way to erase this character. The spirit of that Buddhist cultivator is hiding within this character. It has been emitting the coordinates of Cape III Planet, calling for help. If you don’t want to be ambushed by the Buddhist cultivator, you must erase this character."

"Shiyi and the others tried, but couldn’t erase it."

Lin Jiang said that before they came, Shiyi and the others already knew something was wrong and attempted to get rid of it, but failed.

"This symbol holds the power of rules. I can pass on a skill to you that will allow you to erase it."

"Power of rules?"

"We can talk about that later. Let’s focus on the task first."

"Hehe."

Lin Jiang let out a cold laugh. It seemed this guy was a bit insincere and had hidden a lot from him.
