Chapter 308: Coming for the Gu

“This old monk is really stingy.”

After a while, Lin Jing left the Demon Subduing Temple. Outside the city, on the Nine Dragon Carriage, the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor was waiting for Lin Jing’s return. Seeing Lin Jing muttering to himself, he couldn’t help but ask:

“Did Your Highness the Saint achieve your goal?”

Lin Jing sighed, “I suppose I did.”

Saying that, he reached out his hand, and his palm began to blur into seven-colored Buddhist light.

Immediately after, Lin Jing’s entire body was enveloped in the seven-colored Buddhist light!

In the next instant, he was like a shadow of light, vanishing from the spot and appearing a kilometer away almost at the same moment.

“This is…” the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor exclaimed, “A teleportation Spell that turns oneself into Buddhist light and possesses speed comparable to light!!!”

“From its effect, the process of turning the body into Buddhist light should also grant immunity to pure damage that doesn’t involve mana!”

He spoke in utter shock, “No wonder Your Highness the Saint said that monk was stingy. Once one understands spatial power, who would use this kind of Spell? My Thunder Dragon Clan also has similar Spells that turn the body into lightning, and the effects are even better! Does Your Highness want to learn?”

Lin Jing returned to the flying boat, “No need. With the power of the Thunder Tribulation Gu, I can turn into lightning just the same.”

“This Buddhist Light Technique is a Buddhist dharma created by Senior Wu Mo of the Demon Subduing Temple. He passed it to me just to give me an identity.”

“However, compared to this Spell, I would rather learn the Buddhist sect’s Imperishable Golden Body. Unfortunately, such a supreme Buddhist technique is only passed to direct descendants. Senior Wu Mo wouldn’t even teach me the lower-tier secret technique of the Imperishable Golden Body, the Indestructible Vajra Body.”

“The Second-generation Sect Master’s Face isn’t very effective, it seems—”

“Indeed stingy.” The Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor nodded. “Your Highness needn’t mind. It’s fine not to learn these Spells. With my Thunder Dragon Clan’s Scale Blood Body Refinement, Your Highness’s Physical Body strength will not be inferior to those Buddhist Body Cultivators.”

Moreover—Lin Jing still had the Thunder Tribulation Gu. The Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor couldn’t imagine how strong Lin Jing’s Physical Body strength would eventually become.

It was likely that even the Thunder Dragon Clan wouldn’t be able to compare.

“True, but the Saintess Senior Sister took a lot of the scale blood the Thunder Dragon Clan gave me before, so it’s not enough at all.” Lin Jing sighed.

“That’s no problem at all.” The Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor said obsequiously, “It’s just scale blood. I have as much as you need here. Your Highness the Saint, please don’t be polite.”

The old fellow was now sucking up to Lin Jing in every way, all so the Thunder Dragon Clan could become the number one clan in the Demon Court.

His Majesty the Demon Emperor was just one individual and didn’t constitute a clan.

“Then I won’t be polite. I’ll rely on Senior for the body-refining scale blood from the Golden Core to the Soul Transformation stage.” Lin Jing nodded.

The Thunder Dragon driver was stunned and muttered, “Saint, actually, you could have been a little polite. I’m quite old; I don’t have that much scale blood—”

“Would using the Clan Chief’s and the Prince’s work??”

The Nine Dragon Carriage continued its journey. Having obtained the Buddhist Light Technique, Lin Jing began heading toward his destination, the Golden Light Temple.

With the Thunder Dragon Old Ancestor acting as the driver, the Thunder Dragons soared through the Void Realm. Currently, the Golden Light Temple was undoubtedly the liveliest place in the Western Desert. Buddhist prodigies from the Eighty-one Cities of the Western Desert, as well as Buddhist Cultivators from the Ancient Kingdom, Qingzhou, Martial Emperor City, and other places, traveled thousands of miles to pay their respects.

The names of the Gu God Sect’s Ten Unique Gu were known to everyone. If one could gain the recognition of the Golden Light Temple’s abbot, the Undying Monk, they would undoubtedly soar to greatness.

Aside from that, the current situation of the revival of demons and devils in the Western Desert was also one of the reasons why Buddhist Cultivators from all over were returning there.

Even more than just Buddhist Disciples, as Great Master Wu Mo of the Demon Subduing Temple had said, a large number of non-Buddhist Cultivators had also come to slay demons and eliminate devils. Among them, most were prodigies who had made it onto the qi luck gold list, coming to strengthen their Luck!

The location of the Golden Light Temple: Golden Bell City.

Just like when Lin Jing first visited Demon Swaying City, with the opening of a spatial tunnel, nine Thunder Dragons pulling a flying boat appeared, instantly attracting the attention of the entire Golden Bell City.

Inside the city, whether they were Buddhist Cultivators or the gold list prodigies gathered here for the Luck competition, all were shocked by this flashy way of traveling.

“Who is that?”

“So arrogant. This is a sacred Buddhist site; aren’t they afraid of being kicked out by the Golden Light Temple?”

“Exactly—wait, wait a minute!” Suddenly, someone saw the figure standing on the flying boat, and cold sweat began to pour down their forehead.

“That person looks so familiar. Could it be—”

Quite a few people recognized Lin Jing’s Face. Those who had just thought Lin Jing was too arrogant immediately shut their mouths, fearing they would be targeted by this Devil Head.

Boom!!!

With Lin Jing’s arrival, a golden glow shot into the sky from within the Golden Light Temple. Immediately after, a Golden Body Arhat stood atop the clouds, looking down at Lin Jing, who stood at the very front of the flying boat.

“Demon Court Holy Son, halt.” He called out, and Lin Jing stopped moving forward.

This Golden Body Arhat had a serious expression, as if he would strike if Lin Jing and the others took another step forward.

After all, the current state of the Golden Light Temple’s abbot was extremely poor, and this was the temple’s weakest moment.

“No need to be nervous.”

“This Saint heard that Senior Undying Monk of the Golden Light Temple wishes to find a host for the Golden Light Gu, so I have come to give it a try.” Lin Jing smiled slightly, and his words immediately silenced the Cultivators watching.

The Demon Court Holy Son… has come for the Strange Gu!

It made sense. If there was anything in the Golden Light Temple that could attract the Demon Court Holy Son, it would only be a Strange Gu.

It had long been rumored that the Demon Court Holy Son possessed another Strange Gu, the Ice Soul Gu, and now he wanted to take the Golden Light Gu as well.

It wasn’t impossible.

“Absurd.” The Golden Body Arhat frowned. “How could the abbot’s Golden Light Gu be passed to someone from the Demon Court?”

“Your Excellency, please return. You do not meet the conditions to inherit the Golden Light Gu!”

Are they going to start fighting…?

In Golden Bell City, many visiting prodigies were terrified. After all, the Demon Court Holy Son was no pushover, and the Golden Light Temple didn’t seem to welcome him. It could very well escalate into the Demon Court directly seizing the Golden Light Gu!!

“Let’s go.” Many visiting Cultivators turned and left, intending to leave the city immediately, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire of a great battle.

There were also Cultivators who couldn’t help but stay, wanting to see how things would develop; their desire to watch the drama burned fiercely.

“Oh? But how is it that this Saint heard that any Buddhist Cultivator can undergo the Legacy trial?”

“The Buddhist sect claims that all Buddhist Cultivators in the world are members of the Buddhist sect, and thus they preach everywhere. Now that it’s this Saint’s turn, you can’t just refuse to acknowledge that, can you?”

“This Saint has shown Buddhist cultivation methods many times in the Ancient Kingdom; it shouldn’t be a secret. My Buddhist cultivation talent was awakened by Great Master Wu Mo during his travels in the Ancient Kingdom, so I should be considered half a member of the Demon Subduing Temple. I should meet the criteria.”

After a slight smile, Lin Jing continued, “Furthermore, this Saint has extensive experience in controlling Strange Gu. If the Golden Light Gu is placed in my hands, it will better ensure that it cannot wreak havoc on the world in the future.”

The Golden Body Arhat kept a stiff Face. Seeing that Lin Jing was determined to obtain the Golden Light Gu, it wasn’t easy to directly start a conflict.

“You—”

After all, Lin Jing was right. Back when the Buddhist sect was still extremely weak, in order to grow and spread their teachings, they used the slogan that all Buddhist Cultivators in the world belong to the Buddhist sect. As long as one practiced Buddhist dharma, they could be considered a Buddhist Disciple, without necessarily having to enter a temple in the Western Desert.

It was precisely by casting a wide net and leaving Legacies everywhere that the Buddhist sect grew stronger. If they didn’t acknowledge it now, it would make the Buddhist sect look like sore losers.

Moreover… Great Master Wu Mo…

One of the nine Void Profound experts of the Buddhist sect. The Golden Body Arhat pondered; was this Demon Court Holy Son’s Buddhist cultivation talent actually discovered by Great Master Wu Mo?

“Fine. However, words alone are no proof, and rumors are just rumors. If the Saint can defeat one of our Buddhist sect’s prodigies of the same realm using only Buddhist dharma, then that will prove your words are true!”

“Your Highness the Saint, what do you think?”
