In these three years in the wild, of course, Xu Taiping was not only repairing the Buddha statue.
For example, taking advantage of the unique chaotic energy in the Barbaric Wilderness, he tempered this physical body from the physique of a wild lion to that of a pythonic flood dragon within three years.
If it were in the outside world, even if he used the Human Emperor Body Tempering Art to temper it, it would still take at least thirty years, or even longer.
Of course, even in the Barbaric Wilderness, it is estimated that there aren’t many people who dare to walk in the Barbaric Wilderness without carrying a Flood Dragon Token like he, Xu Taiping.
And compared to the physique of a wild lion, the physique of a pythonic flood dragon, just from the outside, will give people a sense of oppression.
This feeling is like that of a lion or tiger compared to a shiba inu, or a flood dragon compared to a fierce beast.
At this moment, the several cultivators of Yunjing Palace in front of Xu Taiping were almost the same.
After seeing Xu Taiping display the physique of a pythonic flood dragon, they instinctively took a few steps back, and their hearts somehow throbbed for a while.
It was as if the one standing in front of them was not a human, but a ferocious flood dragon.
“Just in the sleeping flood dragon state, and there is already such an effect？”
After seeing the reactions of the several cultivators, Xu Taiping was slightly surprised.
In these few years, in order to search for the incomplete Buddha statue, most of the time he walked in the barren lands of Thousand Buddha Kingdom, and what he encountered were mostly wild beasts, so this was the first time he saw the reaction of human cultivators to his physique of a pythonic flood dragon.
”Daoist friend, my junior brother was just impetuous. Please don’t take offense.”
At this time, a handsome middle-aged man stood out from among the few people and cupped his hands towards Xu Taiping with a smile on his face.
”Senior Brother Liang, you…”
”Cough, cough！”
Hearing this, the cultivator with the knife was obviously a little unhappy, but as soon as he wanted to argue, he was glared back by the middle-aged man.
At the same time, he heard the voice from the middle-aged man in his mind——
”Wait until everyone arrives！”
Hearing this, the disciple with the knife immediately understood the intention of Senior Brother Liang.
”Your Yunjing Palace, why did so many people come all of a sudden? Is the Zou Jiao Order so easy to get now?”
Xu Taiping ignored the polite of Senior Brother Liang and asked curiously.
Of course he knew that these people were stalling for time, but he didn’t care.
The task that the divine sense of Master Kasyapa gave him had been completed. If this Buddha statue was destroyed, it would be destroyed. Maybe he could receive the task again at that time.
”Which sect does the daoist friend come from and how should I address you？”
Senior Brother Liang didn’t answer directly, but inquired about Xu Taiping’s identity.
His intention to stall for time was not even bothered to cover up.
Xu Taiping frowned slightly.
”Must one have a sect？”
He asked rhetorically.
Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Liang’s heart trembled, and he secretly thought：
”Could this person be a shape-shifting monster beast or a demonic cultivator？”
After carefully sizing up Xu Taiping’s body, which was like that of a monster beast, a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was glad that he hadn’t made a move just now.
What the daoist friend said is correct. To enter the wild, one only needs a dragon order or a chaotic stone.
Senior Brother Liang smiled awkwardly and then explained to Xu Taiping again：
“Daoist friend, you may not know that just one year ago, the Tianmen Gorge, which originally had extremely fierce water potential, suddenly dried up. A fisherman discovered a large chaotic stone at the bottom of the canyon. After the nine mansions dug it out, they started to auction it in batches. Fortunately, our Yunjing Palace captured the first batch.
This is no longer a secret, and there will be no punishment from the sect for speaking it out.
Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
Although only three years have passed, many things have happened outside. I wonder if the Qingxuan Sect has captured a chaotic stone.
Perhaps the other peaks have captured it, but with the meager’s resources of our Seventh Peak, it is probably that we won’t be able to capture it.
But it doesn’t matter if we don’t take pictures of it. I have one.
While thinking this way, he took out a large stone weighing one or two hundred catties from the gourd and then looked at the few people and said：
The chaotic stone you mentioned is this thing, right?
This stone was accidentally discovered when looking for the Buddha’s head some time ago. However, since he and Fairy Lingyue have never seen the original chaotic stone, they are not very sure.
And that Senior Brother Liang’s breathing became a little rapid after seeing this stone.
He had been to the auction of the Nine Mansions that day. The original stone taken out by the Nine Mansions was exactly the same as this one. It must be the Chaos Stone, there is no mistake！
”This… Fellow Daoist, you may have misidentified it. But it doesn’t matter. We have a senior brother who happens to be an expert in appraising this thing. When he comes, I will ask him to help you appraise it.”
The senior brother surnamed Liang said with a gentle smile.
His expression and tone were concealed very well. However, Xu Taiping was very sensitive to the changes in the spiritual energy and blood qi fluctuations around this physical body.
At this moment, Xu Taiping could even clearly sense that the heart rate of the cultivator surnamed Liang was accelerating, and the blood flow rate was also accelerating.
Even, he also felt a trace of killing intent from the cultivator surnamed Liang.
”It seems that we have picked up the real thing.”
While putting away the Chaos Stone, Xu Taiping said to Fairy Lingyue in his heart.
I said long ago that it was real.
Fairy Lingyue yawned in the gourd.
The spiritual energy in the wild is filthy. In the state of a spiritual body she needs to sleep often to restore her energy.
”Boom！…”
Just at this time, more than a dozen cultivators with cultivation bases above the Tongxuan Realm all flew down from the sky at the same time.
The spiritual energy stirs up air waves, and wave after wave slapped on Xu Taiping’s face.
Xu Taiping, who had been staying in this desolate place for almost three years, was seeing such a lively scene for the first time.
Junior Brother Liang, what are you all doing standing here? Why haven’t you made a move yet?
At this time, a middle-aged man carrying a sword and wearing a black Taoist robe quickly walked up to the cultivator surnamed Liang, with a slightly displeased expression on his face.
Senior Brother, please forgive me. I just happened to meet a very interesting fellow Taoist, so I chatted with him for a few words.
The cultivator surnamed Liang looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
Hearing this, Senior Brother Qin also looked towards Xu Taiping.
After seeing Xu Taiping’s body that was like that of a monster beast, his brows also slightly furrowed, and he immediately understood why his junior brother had not made a move just now.
Since we’re here, then junior brother, don’t talk nonsense with them. Let him scram.
Senior Brother Qin raised the corner of his mouth and said.
In their opinion, their side had more than a dozen Tongxuan Realm cultivators. As long as the other party wasn’t a Lianshen, they had nothing to fear.
