Chapter 541: Chapter 304: Hundred-legged Bodhisattva! (Part 2)

The City Lord’s pale and shocked face was in front of him.

Su Que used telepathy, and his spiritual power immediately spread from his brow, invading the City Lord’s mind to acquire his memories.

He wanted to see if there were any clues about Merging Realm Techniques in the City Lord’s memories.

In just an instant, he obtained some information on the Merging Realm, but not much.

He only knew that the path the City Lord cultivated was "Sword Dao," and there was a Merging Realm Technique for cultivating the "Sword Dao."

Su Que felt this "Sword Dao" wasn’t suitable for him, but he could reference its cultivation method.

After acquiring the memories, Su Que released his Lifebound Demon Seed, absorbing this person’s essence, qi, and spirit.

He recalled the Lifebound Demon Seed back into his body, and with a thought, the essence, qi, and spirit poured into his own body.

Remaining lifespan: 9768

His lifespan was extended by over two hundred years.

After acquiring the essence, qi, and spirit, he took this person’s Storage Pouch into his own.

Then, he unleashed a stream of Myriad Poison True Qi, destroying the person’s body, and his form darted toward the body of the Red Sound Fire Vajra.

The Red Sound Fire Vajra’s Five Viscera were shattered, but he could still stagger along.

Blood gurgled from his mouth as he struggled in one direction, hoping to find a safe place to heal while Su Que dealt with others.

Su Que reached him, immediately using telepathy to obtain the Red Sound Fire Vajra’s memories.

Then, he skillfully released his Lifebound Demon Seed, absorbing the essence, qi, and spirit of the Red Sound Fire Vajra, and finishing his life.

As the sturdy body of the Red Sound Fire Vajra collapsed, the Lifebound Demon Seed returned to Su Que’s Dantian.

After integrating the essence, qi, and spirit of the Red Sound Fire Vajra, Su Que glanced at his attributes.

Remaining lifespan: 10089

His lifespan increased by about three hundred years, surpassing ten thousand in total.

This meant that even cultivators at the peak of the Merging Realm couldn’t match him mentally or physically.

Based on the memories he obtained from the Arhats and Vajras, with his current spirit and body, plus the skills like Celestial Demon Dissolving Technique, Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, and Demon Saber for accelerating cultivation—

Even Spirit Mountain’s Bodhisattvas would be a match for him if they were weak.

Following the Red Sound Fire Vajra’s memories, Su Que took the Storage Pouch from his body and unleashed a stream of Myriad Poison True Qi, destroying the corpse.

Then, he went to take the Storage Pouches of those demon monks, Bhikkhus, and Warriors, releasing another Myriad Poison True Qi.

The deep purple Qi spread for a thousand miles.

Not only did it destroy all these corpses, but even the nearby vegetation was affected by the Myriad Poison True Qi.

In merely a moment, the place became desolate.

Once everything was prepared, Su Que flew to the sky, planning to find a secluded place to review today’s gains.

He would consume the Celestial Medicine and Elixirs he gained, and improve his Martial Arts and Techniques.

...

Those loose cultivators who fled due to witnessing the City Lord’s head suddenly being cut off didn’t know where to go and flew frantically in one direction.

They were extremely fearful of being pursued by cultivators who killed their City Lord.

After a while of flying, they suddenly saw a glow of red mixed with gold in a large patch of floating clouds.

Next, this glow condensed into a massive, transparent, sky-covering red centipede beam, rolling towards them.

The loose cultivators were shocked, and before they could resist, they were enveloped by this colossal red centipede beam, unable to move at all.

While the loose cultivators were struggling, they saw another red glow flying towards them.

On the red glow stood three people.

The person in the middle appeared to be a fifty-year-old monk, his face pale and beardless.

Half of his body was draped in a red cassock, his head adorned with a pointed off-white monk’s hat.

Hands clasped together, a red halo behind his head.

This monk was the Spirit Mountain’s "Hundred-legged Bodhisattva."

His true form was a centipede, having cultivated demon techniques for five hundred years, allowing him to ascend.

He was later subdued by Spirit Mountain’s Divine Buddhas and brought into Spirit Mountain for cultivation, working for Spirit Mountain.

After cultivating Buddhist techniques for six hundred years, he finally achieved the "Bodhisattva" status of Spirit Mountain.

Beside him stood the new Subduing Dragon Arhat and Subduing Tiger Arhat.

The Eight Great Vajra and Eighteen Arhats of Spirit Mountain were initially titles of twenty-six Buddhist cultivators of Spirit Mountain.

But due to frequent divine wars, the original Eight Great Vajra and Eighteen Arhats perished.

Subsequently, the Eight Great Vajra and Eighteen Arhats became inheritable titles and positions.

If one of the Vajra and Arhats died, someone from the remaining Dharma Guardian Deities and Arhats would fill in.

After Su Que killed the previous Subduing Dragon Arhat and Subduing Tiger Arhat, the Bodhisattvas of Spirit Mountain chose two skilled ones from the remaining five hundred Arhats to take up the titles of "Subduing Dragon" and "Subduing Tiger."

The Subduing Dragon Arhat on the left stood nine feet tall, bare-chested, with nine ferocious dragons of varying colors tattooed on him.

The Subduing Tiger Arhat on the right had a tiger head and human body.

Originally a Tiger Demon in the Lower Realm, he refined his throat’s transverse bone over two hundred years, ascended as a Demon Immortal after three hundred years.

Subdued by Spirit Mountain Divine Buddhas, he cultivated Buddhist techniques for four hundred years, achieving the "Arhat" status.

After being severely injured by Su Que, the Red Sound Fire Vajra sent a distress signal to Spirit Mountain despite the excruciating pain.

Spirit Mountain, receiving the signal, knew only that Red Sound Fire Vajra and Baggy Arhat faced life-threatening danger but was unaware of how strong the enemy truly was.

They figured that anyone able to push both Red Sound Fire Vajra and Baggy Arhat to the brink must be quite formidable.

Thus, a Bodhisattva and two of the Eighteen Arhats were sent for reinforcement.

As they arrived, they spotted the group of fleeing loose cultivators.

Hundred-legged Bodhisattva, along with the new Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger, knew that Red Sound Fire Vajra and Baggy Arhat left Spirit Mountain intending to bring loose cultivators from a city back to Spirit Mountain to "enlighten" them into monk soldiers.

Seeing this group of loose cultivators, they guessed they had fled from the battle between Red Sound Fire Vajra and Baggy Arhat.

Hundred-legged Bodhisattva immediately mobilized True Qi, forming a "Centipede Dharma Aspect," capturing the loose cultivators.

After seizing them, Hundred-legged Bodhisattva used telepathy to read a loose cultivator’s memory.

His mind flooded with images from the loose cultivator’s perspective, witnessing Su Que fighting Red Sound Fire Vajra, Baggy Arhat, and the City Lord.

’Sudden flashing of Martial Arts Techniques, Buddha Soldier Breaks the Red Dust...’

Hundred-legged Bodhisattva’s narrow eyes gleamed. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

’This is the one who ascended from the Martial Arts Small World, continuously killing many of Spirit Mountain’s Arhats!’

Su Que became notorious in Spirit Mountain.

The Arhats previously at the Small World read Li Xuanji’s memory and learned some of Su Que’s characteristics.

Meanwhile, the new Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger Arhats also read the loose cultivators’ memories, witnessing these scenes.

"This Ascender actually came here!"

"I suppose it’s him who killed the Gatekeeper Arhat and Long-Eyebrow Arhat!"

The new Subduing Dragon Arhat said.

After Su Que killed the Gatekeeper Arhat and Long-Eyebrow Arhat in the Valley River Mountain Range, the news eventually reached Spirit Mountain.

Currently, the Spirit Mountain Divine Buddhas not engaged in divine wars were searching for the mysterious cultivator Su Que.

They read the memories of the loose cultivators from the Valley River Mountain Range, learning that this person not only wore a mask but also used disguise techniques.

Meaning they couldn’t track him by appearance alone.

The Spirit Mountain Divine Buddhas contemplated whether they could use Destiny Communication together to locate this person.

But from Li Xuanji’s memories, they knew this mysterious cultivator’s cultivation advanced rapidly, and he might be an Upper Realm deity reincarnating.

Moreover, in his past life, he might have had profound cultivation and participated in many Upper Realm affairs.

Using Destiny Communication involved the Buddhist Sect’s concept of "cause and effect."

Utilizing Destiny Communication on someone entangled with great fate and destiny could potentially entangle one in cause and effect, suffering from karmic forces.

Thus, Spirit Mountain’s lesser divines dared not casually use Destiny Communication.

They wanted to report this to the Spirit Mountain Buddhas.

However, the Buddhas were either in closed meditation or engaged in prolonged battles with the Celestial Court deities.

They figured such a small figure was not worth having the Buddhas intervene.

Moreover, cause and effect, as well as karmic force, were things the Buddhas were reluctant to entangle with unless absolutely necessary.
