Chapter 491
by fanqienovelChapter 491: The Victory Returns
In Tulu City, at Kaye Temple.
The West Desert spans tens of thousands of miles, not as lifeless as outsiders imagine. A network of oases formed naturally along underground water veins has nurtured the Sand People for centuries.
Large oases have developed into sizable cities, and Tulu City is one of them.
This desert city has a population of hundreds of thousands and is the largest tribal gathering place closest to the Sand Guard, serving as an important base for the Sand Tribe’s raids against Daying.
Three hundred years ago, the Western Buddhist Sect established temples in Tulu City, extending their influence to the area nearest the West Sea Spiritual Realm.
Over the centuries, as the influence of the Buddhist Sect grew within the Sand Tribe, the status of Kaye Temple rose significantly.
While openly, the Western Buddhist Sect does not interfere in the Sand Tribe’s internal affairs, everyone knows that the Buddhist Sect has long become the clan’s master, and even the Great Witches must consider the Sect’s opinions in their actions.
At this moment, in the lecture hall of Kaye Temple, a water mirror suddenly materialized, vividly displaying the scene of Wang Chen battling Tuqi!
The audience present comprised hundreds of monks.
An elderly monk with a gaunt face sat cross-legged before an imposing Buddha statue, watching as Wang Chen crushed Tuqi’s head with a palm strike.
His gray-white eyebrows twitched as he hoarsely said, “What a pure Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm.”
An exclamation arose throughout the hall.
Any disciple of the Buddhist Sect knew of the renowned reputation of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm.
This was a powerful technique for subduing dragons and tigers, and for vanquishing demons and evildoers!
“Ancestral Master, isn’t the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm part of the sixth level of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method?”
A middle-aged monk exclaimed in astonishment, “How could the celestial guardians of the West Sea Sect know this divine power?”
His question reflected the curiosity of all the monks present.
The Buddhist Sect is known for its open approach to teaching, encouraging education for all without discrimination, and doesn’t hesitate to share basic techniques, even spreading them widely.
This is common knowledge, not a secret at all.
However, while it’s easy to start learning the Buddhist techniques, mastering them is challenging. Achieving higher levels requires the study of Buddhist scriptures to assist one’s practice, or there’s a great risk of falling into madness.
It is precisely through such means that the Western Buddhist Sect has carved out a place for itself in the Mountain-Sea Realm, where the Daoists dominate, attracting countless talents.
Wang Chen, as a disciple of the West Sea Sect, practicing the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method isn’t surprising.
Yet, to have cultivated the technique to such an extent left the monks utterly speechless.
They could hardly believe their ears!
They too had practiced the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, but the highest achievement among them had only been the fourth realm.
In fact, even within Tianlong Temple itself, very few could reach the Invulnerable Vajra realm with this technique.
Moreover, Wang Chen is so young!
No one doubts the ancestral master’s judgment, but they all feel that this reality is simply too bizarre.
“A prodigy of heaven.”
The gaunt old monk closed his eyes and said, “This person has a connection to our Buddhist Sect.”
The monks exchanged glances, all feeling somewhat uneasy.
The inner sect disciples of the West Sea Sect having a connection to the Buddhist Sect is hardly a laughing matter!
“Yuantong.”
As soon as the old monk finished speaking, a plump monk stepped forward immediately and responded, “Disciple is here.”
The old monk said in a deep voice, “Quickly send the memory stone to Tianlong Temple and hand it over to Master Fameng. Explain the entire process of what has happened without delay!”
“Disciple obeys!”
The plump monk respectfully received the memory stone from the old monk with both hands, then left the hall at top speed.
“West Sea Sect…”
The gaunt old monk sighed lightly, waving his robe sleeve as the water mirror in the air instantly vanished.
At the same moment, by the shore of Bi Po Lake, Wang Chen felt a sense of relief, the dark cloud that had hung over him quietly dissipating.
He calmly withdrew his gaze and then picked up his spoils.
Wang Chen did not disturb the corpse of Sorcerer Tuqi; he merely took the storage bag hanging from the man’s waist.
Though he did not open it to look inside, Wang Chen did not expect too many valuable items within.
However, the nine-ringed golden silver staff that had fallen to the ground was quite impressive.
This Buddhist weapon was extremely heavy; Wang Chen estimated it to weigh over a thousand pounds, shining brilliantly with a spiritual essence throughout, clearly a high-grade spirit tool of very high craftsmanship.
When Wang Chen lifted the staff, he distinctly felt a sense of resistance emanating from within it, causing his palm to slightly tingle.
It should be noted that Wang Chen had cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method to the sixth level, able to withstand any magic weapon’s attack without a scratch.
The staff’s remarkable nature was evident!
Feeling intrigued, Wang Chen acted swiftly, channeling the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method as he exerted strength with all five fingers gripping the staff.
With his effort, the resistance and rejection from the staff instantly vanished!
Not only that, the Buddhist spirit tool also transmitted a sense of obedience and submission to him!
Wang Chen did not expect its transformation to be so rapid, but considering he controlled a Buddhist tool with Buddhist techniques, this occurrence was entirely reasonable.
What a gain!
Wang Chen happily stored the nine-ringed golden silver staff in his storage ring and then summoned a flying sword to soar into the sky.
He returned to the Sand Guard.
At this moment, Daying City was filled with joyous shouts, turning every street and alley into a sea of happiness.
“Long live the Celestial Guardian!”
Countless people had witnessed Wang Chen slaying the Sorcerer of the Sand Tribe; they felt no horror in the bloodshed, only exhilaration to the fullest.
Daying, located at the border of West Zhou, is the frontline against the Sand Tribe and the Western Buddhist Sect.
The people here have an unbreakable deep-seated hatred against the Sand Tribe, known for their strong and courageous spirit in battle.
Everyone respects the brave warriors who slay their enemies!
In Wang Chen’s previous life, such a live broadcast would undoubtedly earn countless rewards, with chat screens filled with praise.
Initially, as the newly appointed Celestial Guardian of the Xun Celestial Guardian’s pavilion, Wang Chen did not have much prestige among the people of Daying.
But after this battle, his reputation soared to great heights, placing him at the pinnacle of Daying!
When Wang Chen returned to the Seven Star Pavilion, Kou Shihai was already waiting in the hall.
“Wang Shidi, well done!”
Seeing Wang Chen, the Grand Commander laughed heartily, his expression filled with delight.
Wang Chen smiled slightly, accepting the spiritual wine presented by a maid.
The wine was at the perfect temperature.
He raised his cup with Kou Shihai, saying, “Brother, I’m grateful for your trust.”
Kou Shihai responded, “I will personally report your achievements to the sect, and you will be honored according to your merits.”
Wang Chen clasped his hands together: “Thank you, Brother.”
He used the traditional etiquette of the martial world.
Unlike most cultivators, Kou Shihai carried a strong martial atmosphere about him.
“A small matter.”
Kou Shihai waved his hand, then his expression gradually became serious: “Wang Shidi, before I report to the sect, there’s something I must clarify. Please don’t take offense.”
Wang Chen set down his empty cup, looking serious: “Brother, please speak.”
