Chapter 805: Capture Puxiang Alive

Cape III Planet Area

Bodhisattva Puxiang, in a frantic escape, knows many secret techniques of the Buddha. Especially since the Buddha has also ventured into outer space, distances of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of light years can be daunting. Without the corresponding speed of movement, they would spend their entire lives just traveling, let alone spreading the teachings of Buddhism.

Bodhisattva Puxiang possesses a secret technique called "Step by Step Lotus." When he uses this magic, enormous Buddha lotuses bloom in the starry sky, one after another. From one end of the lotus to the other, he can simply lift his foot and cross over.

So at this moment in the starry sky, a Star Road was created by the Buddha lotuses. Bodhisattva Puxiang seems to be walking casually, but with each step he takes, he covers an unknown distance.

However, despite such an amazing technique, he still cannot escape the tracking of the Space Battleship because the commotion is too great. Not to mention radar; even the ordinary crew members of the Space Battleship can see it with their own eyes.

Along the way, the Space Battleship continuously launched attacks, further restraining Bodhisattva Puxiang and greatly slowing down his speed.

Cao Ying and the others have already entered a Space Battleship. Their speed is not as fast as Puxiang’s, and pursuing at high speed consumes a lot of their spiritual energy. Therefore, tracking from inside the Space Battleship is the most suitable option.

"He can’t run anymore."

Cao Ying watched Puxiang escaping, noticing that the number of Buddha lotuses ahead was decreasing and his speed was slowing down. He can’t run anymore.

The truth, just as Cao Ying said, was that half an hour later, Puxiang stopped, turned around, and looked at the fleet of Space Battleships. Though sound could not travel in space, his words still reached everyone’s ears as he said, "I am Puxiang. Is there anyone here from another world who dares to fight?"

"Ancestor Cao, I will go meet him."

"Meet him? He is at the Transmigration Stage; you’re asking for trouble."

"Um…"

"A Space Battleship costs at least several billion. If we spend so much money and you have to fight up close, then what are we spending all this money for? Prepare all the warships to attack and crush him."

Cao Ying said that Huaxia’s aerospace industry was already very advanced. The manufacturing cost of these warships had decreased a lot compared to before, but each one still costs billions. It would be foolish to spend so much and then fight up close.

The gun barrels of the warships began to shine with blue light. Puxiang realized something was wrong and hurriedly used a spell to evade. However, the sonic weapons were area weapons, and one shot sent him flying into the void.

With no way to escape, Puxiang stuffed a pill into his mouth. Then he summoned his dharma body and raised a Zen staff, bringing it down on a Space Battleship.

As the Zen staff struck down, the Space Battleship erupted with countless sparks, but it was not destroyed yet, and the attacks from the other warships began again.

A blast from a particle cannon hit Puxiang’s body, causing his massive dharma body to shatter, golden blood splattering across the void, and he was greatly injured.

"Capture him alive!"

At that moment, Cao Ying changed her mind and ordered for him to be captured alive. A Space Battleship moved forward, shooting out a large metal net made from nanotechnology, as strong and flexible as a high-level magical treasure.

Puxiang was too weak to escape and could only watch helplessly as the metal net closed around him, pulling him into the Space Battleship.

"Let’s go over there, and the ordinary crew members should be forbidden to approach him. The Buddhist cultivator is very strange; be careful of being attacked from within."

Cao Ying said that she had heard from Lin Jiang that these Buddhist cultivators were very good at influencing others, silently making them serve them, often with deep loyalty.

The two Space Battleships quickly docked, and within half an hour, Cao Ying saw Puxiang trapped in a chamber. The robots had already used high-level ropes as a safeguard for him.

"Is your name Puxiang?"

Cao Ying suddenly spoke, using the language of Lingjing Star.

"You, you…"

"It’s not very strange that you can speak your language, right?"

"Yes, I have shown my appearance."

"Do you have nothing to say, or are you still thinking in terms of winners and losers, believing that losing means losing?"

"Can you allow me to organize my thoughts?"

"Haha, of course, that is fine. I want to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."

Cao Ying laughed heartily; she truly wanted to know what Puxiang would say. Everyone understood each other well. Cao Ying wanted to find out some news about Lingjing Star, and Puxiang also wanted to know what was going on with that planet.

"How do you want to be called?"

After a long time, Puxiang finally regained some clarity and said to Cao Ying.

"Cao Ying"

"Master Cao, do you know that a great disaster is about to fall upon you?"

"Really? On what grounds? Just because you have hundreds of arhats and dozens of bodhisattvas from Lingjing Star?"

"That’s partially true, but Lingjing Star is just a small branch of my Buddha’s teachings. In this vast world of Buddhism, there are countless true Buddhas, and you are no match for them."

"Why don’t you mention that your Buddha Master from the Buddhist sect may personally descend?"

"Amitabha, our Buddha Master can take on countless forms. It is not impossible for him to personally come down one day."

"If you only have this little bit of eloquence, that won’t do."

Cao Ying let out a cold laugh; such threats felt to her like playing house.

"In the world, all laws and all emptiness, there are thousands of paths for practice. However, most cultivators are selfish and narrow-minded, and the path to immortality…"

"You all go out first, quickly."

Puxiang’s next words changed Cao Ying’s expression. He spoke to everyone, and although the others were suspicious, they didn’t say much and quickly left. Cao Ying also turned off all the electronic devices in the cabin.

"It seems that Master Cao already knows the truth about cultivation, that becoming an immortal is a deception."

"Hehe, continue."

"Cultivating to become an immortal is a deception in countless worlds, except for my Buddha sect. Our Buddha Master embraces all; he accepts the true Buddha and allows others who cultivate to attain longevity. Master, if you join my Buddha sect, you too can gain the path to longevity."

"After becoming an immortal through tribulation, one must feed off living beings. How can your Buddha sect transcend the material world? You are all the same. What you call teaching people to do good is just fake kindness."

"It seems that Master has a great misunderstanding of my Buddha sect. We study the methods of cultivation and are ahead of many traditions. My Buddha sect…"

Puxiang had a kind expression as he spoke to Cao Ying, discussing the differences between the methods of cultivation in the Buddha sect and other traditions.

In the ideas he presented, the leader of the Buddha sect, Buddha Master, was a true wise person, not someone narrow-minded like ordinary cultivators. He embraces the true Buddha and can allow others who practice the Buddha sect’s skills to attain immortality.

As for what Cao Ying said, the celestial beings need living beings as their food, but they also have other ways to avoid this, like using thought power. Thought power is very mysterious, and the Buddhist school has studied it for many years, developing many methods to use it, and so on.

The debating skills of the Buddhist school are unmatched; their theories are very well-structured and logical. Even Cao Ying could not tell what was true or false for a moment, looking somewhat confused. According to Puxiang, it seems that the Buddhist school is the ultimate path for cultivators, the true way.

"Cao Ying, wake up! Do not believe this man’s words. The practice of the Buddhist school is no different from ours. The prosperity of the Buddhist school is built upon the pain and blood of others, gained through plunder…"

Just then, a voice echoed in Cao Ying’s mind. Cao Ying suddenly realized something, and her eyes cleared up a lot; she recognized who the voice belonged to.

Puxiang in the cabin was quite surprised. What he had just said was also a way of imparting knowledge, not some secret technique, but the true words of the Buddhist school, the truth of the world. This often proves to be more effective than secret techniques. Clearly, this woman could not argue against his reasoning, so how did she suddenly awaken?

"Cao Ying, kill him."

"No, let me show my uncle first."

Cao Ying firmly rejected Xia Qingshan’s suggestion. She entered the cabin personally, attacked Puxiang, took away everything he had, and directly sealed his energy center, locking his cultivation.

Xia Qingshan’s voice did not sound again, and the Space Battleship flew towards Cape III Planet. Soon, they saw Lin Jiang and others who were still working on removing the marks for the Shenwu Demon Emperor.
