Chapter 167: Bodhisattva Kuduo
Chapter 167: Bodhisattva Kuduo
It was reasonable for Shen Tian to have such thoughts.
Technically, Shen Tian had only snatched others’ fortuitous opportunities twice after he had transmigrated.
Once was when he had obtained the Demon Book of Hyuga before Qin Gao. That had resulted in Qin Gao receiving a harsh beating.
The second time was now that he had obtained the Divine Devouring Vine’s silver liquid, which was supposed to be Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity.
As a result, Fang Chang had suffered a Qi Deviation immediately. His Golden Core was now broken, and he was on the verge of death now.
He had snatched the fortuitous opportunities twice, and both times the original owners had suffered almost immediately.
It was just too much of a coincidence!
Although the 13th Prince had been well-educated, the books he had read were just common ones. Shen Tian had no understanding of the silver liquids.
He planned to secretly bring the liquid to Fang Chang’s room, and from there, he would share the providence with him. However, Fang Chang was in the White Lotus Mountain’s ‘ICU ward’ now.
The Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and White Lotus tried their best to save Fang Chang. However, there was no good news at all.
Thus, Shen Tian was really concerned about this matter.
Of course, Shen Tian was worried because Fang Chang was his Senior Brother, not because he was afraid of losing someone whose providence he could freeload.
Well, I should go to White Lotus Mountain and check on him. He is my Senior Brother, after all.
Worse comes to worst, I need to see my Senior Brother for the last time before he dies!
Shen Tian sighed and used his flying sword.
A huge crowd surrounded the White Lotus Mountain, but they were not allowed to enter. Only the true disciples had the eligibility to enter, and there were very few of them.
Li Yunfeng, Qin Yundi, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhang Yunting were present, together with Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao was here not because he was worried about Fang Chang. He just felt that being here allowed him to integrate into the group faster.
Shen Tian landed and asked, “How’s Senior Brother Fang Chang? Update me.”
Li Yunfeng’s face was filled with sorrow. “Senior Brother, you are finally here. Poor Fang Chang, what a tragedy...”
Shen Tian decided to ignore Li Yunfeng. He had no time to listen to whatever he was trying to say. He looked at Qin Yundi and asked, “Yundi, you are an honest man. Tell me, what’s the situation now.”
Li Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, feeling insulted and threatened.
He would seek revenge if someone else treated him in that manner. Unfortunately, Shen Tian had beaten First Senior Brother before, so Li Yunfeng did not want to mess with him. He had an ominous feeling that the outcome would be a nasty one if he tried to pick up a fight.
Qin Yundi quickly answered, “The Sacred Leader and Martial Uncle Azure Lotus have been inside for two hours. Nothing happened in these two hours. I think First Senior Brother is not healed yet.”
Zhang Yunting added, “Sigh... First Senior Brother is too stubborn! He is too proud and refused to cultivate the forbidden sutra we gave him. Instead, he tried to forcefully refine his Golden Core. As a result, he suffered a Qi Deviation and broke his Golden Core.”
He genuinely worried about Fang Chang as they were like true brothers.
Shen Tian felt helpless too. Although he had suffered plenty of Qi Deviations before, those brought minor injuries. What Fang Chang suffered was way worse.
Cultivating to the Qi Refinement stage was not a big deal at all. It was the most basic step. One could consider themselves as real cultivators when their Dharmic foundation formed their Golden Core, and Divine Emblems started to appear on it. Thus, the Golden Core was no different than a cultivator’s heart.
Fang Chang was in a perilous situation now since his Golden Core had broken.
Shen Tian wanted to help, but he had no idea what he could do.
At that moment, a ray of light enveloped the White Lotus Mountain. It was a golden Buddhist light, and its radiance lit half of the sky. At the same time, 800 Arhats and other guardians stepped out of the ray of light.
Sanskrit sounds suddenly reverberated the place as if Buddha was chanting sutras to redeem the world. Then, the wooden fish released rhythmic sounds, and a monk in a white robe appeared out of nowhere.
He was sitting cross-legged, with a giant Bodhi Divine Tree avatar behind him.
When the wind blew, all the leaves started moving, and it radiated more light.
When the monk appeared, it seemed like the entire world was rid of all troubles.
The young monk was too outstanding, and everyone was looking at him.
Zhang Yunxi said to Shen Tian, “This is First Senior Brother’s friend, Bodhisattva Kuduo. He’s the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s Bodhisattva, the strongest one in this generation.
“Sonic Thunder’s Sacred Leader has personally taught him the Great Sonic Sutra and the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra. These are the best arts they have.
“However, Bodhisattva Kuduo does not like sitting down and reading books. He is more of a hands-on type of person.
“His Mighty Dragon Demon Subjugation technique is extremely powerful. He’s ranked 2nd on the Golden Core List, surpassing our First Senior Brother.”
Zhang Yunxi’s introduction was short but provided critical information to Shen Tian.
Shen Tian concluded that this Bodhisattva was an extraordinary individual. One had to know that millions of Golden Core cultivators resided in the Eastern Wilderness. Thus, the Bodhisattva was really amazing to rank second among so many Golden Core cultivators.
Shen Tian asked quietly, “Senior Sister, why does it seem his cultivation technique is different? Why does he have an avatar as well?”
Zhang Yunxi looked at Bodhisattva Kuduo and said, “Well, you will find out soon.”
Bodhisattva Kuduo sat down in mid-air and slowly floated onto the top of the mountain.
He was good-looking and gave off a friendly vibe. He smiled and started to rub his rosary beads, and then the avatar disappeared immediately as though it was just an illusion.
Bodhisattva Kuduo heaved a long sigh.
“I’m so bored! Master punished me to copy the entire sutra!
“Fortunately, Fang Chang suffered a Qi Deviation, and I managed to escape from him. Thank you, Fang Chang!
“Sister Yunxi! Hello! I haven’t seen you in half a year. Do you want to test out my skill now?
“Erm, are you new around here? Your looks are comparable to mine. How should I address you? Do you want to test out my skills too?”
The monk’s sudden change of demeanor astounded Shen Tian. He stared at the rosary beads Bodhisattva Kuduo was holding and asked, “What was that avatar just now?”
Kuduo smiled. “That’s my Master’s item. What you saw earlier was just an illusion.”
