Chapter 561: Chapter 314: Return to the Small World! (Part 2)

Knock, knock!

The head fell to the ground, bounced twice with two light sounds, then rolled off to the side.

Blood spurted from the severed neck like a fountain.

After Li Yujing killed this man, she and Su Jing, moving with perfect tacit understanding, lunged at the fat Monk while his five blood-colored Flying Sabers had yet to fly back.

In an instant, the fat Monk’s eyes were filled with the cold gleam of two Treasure Swords.

The next moment, the two Treasure Swords stabbed into the fat Monk’s eyes and pierced out the back of his skull.

When Su Jing and Li Yujing pulled their swords free, two bloody holes were left where his eyes had been.

Blood and brain matter gushed from those two holes.

The fat Monk lost his life and toppled backward.

His massive body slammed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The remaining five Monks, seeing they had already lost two men in quick succession, instantly lost the will to fight and all tried to flee.

Although Su Jing and Li Yujing saw that these five Monks had no more fighting spirit, they still gave chase and, after a brief struggle, killed all five.

After finishing all this, Su Jing and Li Yujing exchanged a glance and hastily left the scene.

Through Destiny Communication, Su Que saw all of this.

And right after, he saw yet another scene.

It was the Abbot of the temple where the fat Monk resided. Seeing that the fat Monk and the others had not returned for a long time, he followed their tracks and arrived at the place where the fat Monk had been killed.

The Buddhist Sect’s Destiny Communication could not only sense the present, but also foresee the future.

The scene just now was a picture of the future.

The Abbot of this temple was a Martial Artist at the Early Stage of Divine Realm, already not weak by the standards of a Small World.

If he caught up to Su Jing and Li Yujing, the two of them would be in danger.

Su Que immediately controlled his split body, turning into a wisp of black smoke and flying toward where Su Jing and Li Yujing were.

...

The fat Monk’s Abbot, Dharma name "Wu Chan," was called "Grandmaster Wu Chan" by the local believers.

Just as Su Que had foreseen, Monk Wu Chan, wielding a massive Crescent Shovel, his robes fluttering and white beard streaming, left the temple to search for the fat Monk and the others.

Among these seven, there were quite a few good seedlings for Cultivation, and he had spent no small amount of resources raising them.

The disappearance of the seven made his heart uneasy.

Besides ordering other Monks to go out and search, he personally set out as well.

Monk Wu Chan followed the tracks and, after flying for a while, discovered the corpses of the fat Monk and the others, and at once flew into a rage.

However, he quickly calmed his anger, began to coolly analyze the wounds on the corpses, and realized that the ones who killed his seven disciples had used Sword Technique.

Furthermore, the Martial Arts Cultivation of those two wasn’t high; they mainly prevailed through exquisite Sword Technique and Body Technique.

After examining a bit more, Monk Wu Chan followed the tracks of the two and pursued them.

Monk Wu Chan flew along while his white beard fluttered.

Although the Great Buddha Temple, which oversaw all the Buddhist Temples under heaven, had ordered them to bring those with talent in Martial Arts and Magic into the Buddhist Sect,

Monk Wu Chan was currently filled with fury and only wanted to smash the two who had killed his disciples into pulp with his Crescent Shovel.

Just as Monk Wu Chan was flying, suddenly, his brows twitched.

Immediately after, a black shadow—Su Que’s split body—abruptly appeared above Monk Wu Chan’s head.

Controlling the split body, Su Que activated the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique and released a Demon Seed.

The Demon Seed shone with purple light and generated a suction force.

Su Que’s split body was now at the Third-Layer of the Realm of Merging, whereas Monk Wu Chan was only a Martial Artist at the Early Stage of Divine Realm.

Their Cultivation differed greatly; the moment the Demon Seed’s suction force arose—

The fury-filled face of Monk Wu Chan instantly twisted.

His Essence Qi and Spirit were sucked up into the Demon Seed.

At once, with a plop, Monk Wu Chan lost his life and his corpse crashed to the ground.

Su Que’s split body once more凝聚ed into human form; spreading both hands, he cast "Ten Yang Little Thunderbolt."

A fireball formed in midair, rolled over Monk Wu Chan’s corpse, and destroyed this Monk’s body.

Immediately after, Su Que controlled the fireball and rolled it over to the Monks killed by Su Jing and Li Yujing.

Very soon, there were no corpses left here.

Then Su Que used the fireball to completely erase the traces left by Su Jing and Li Yujing.

Even if someone came, they would not be able to track Su Jing and Li Yujing through the traces.

...

At this moment, atop Spirit Mountain.

The shattering of a Small World’s barrier had already put some of the Arhats and Vajras on Spirit Mountain on alert.

"Just who forcibly broke open that Small World’s barrier?"

Three of the Eighteen Arhats, talking among themselves, were about to descend to the Lower Realm to take a look.

"Wait! That is the Small World where that Ascender originally resided."

An Arhat who had once participated in the hunt for Su Que spoke up immediately.

"Then let me go down once."

A humanoid being with the head of a white elephant, over two zhang tall and holding a massive Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand, spoke.

This white elephant was once an elephant from Samantabhadra Bodhisattva’s White Elephant Park.

Later, after successfully Cultivating, he became a Guardian Deity of Spirit Mountain, known as the "White Elephant Vajra."

His Cultivation had already reached the Tenth-Layer of the Realm of Merging.

"Could it be him? Didn’t Hundred-legged Bodhisattva already go looking for him? But Hundred-legged Bodhisattva has yet to return."

One Arhat said.

Suddenly, this Arhat furrowed his yellow brows and said, "No, Hundred-legged Bodhisattva has already..."

"How could that be?"

Another Arhat picked up his words:

"Hundred-legged Bodhisattva’s Cultivation is at the Peak of the Nineteen Layers of Merging Realm, and that Ascender only ascended not long ago."

"Unless he is the reincarnation of a figure like the Buddha or Taoist Ancestor, there’s no way he could Cultivate so fast."

The Arhats and Spirit Mountain Guardian Deities present all nodded one after another, feeling that this Arhat’s words made sense.

Immediately after, the White Elephant Vajra hefted the Demon-Subduing Pestle that was twice his own height and, together with two Arhats who were not among the Eighteen Arhats, turned into three rays of Buddha’s Light and headed toward the Small World where Su Que was. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Passing through the clouds, they arrived above that Small World and saw the shattered barrier of that Small World.

Then they passed through that broken barrier.

The White Elephant Vajra shook his massive white elephant head and said to the two Arhats:

"Let’s patch this barrier up first, then go hunt for this Lower Realm fellow and catch the turtle in the urn!"

"Indeed!"

The two Arhats responded in agreement and began, together with the White Elephant Vajra, to cast Skills and mend that Magic Barrier.

...

In the Upper Realm, Su Que, by releasing his Spirit, sensed that the world barrier of the Small World where his split body was had begun to be repaired.

As for the White Elephant Vajra leading them, according to the memories he had obtained from the Spirit Mountain Arhats, Su Que knew that his Cultivation had reached the Tenth-Layer of the Realm of Merging.

With the current strength of his split body, he was no match.

"However, my split body knows the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique and can use the Demon Seed to absorb Essence Qi and Spirit to raise the split body’s Cultivation."

Su Que then controlled his split body to use Destiny Communication.

He sensed the Buddhist Temples and Bandits of this world.

Whenever he saw a Buddhist Temple, he would storm in, use the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, and drain all the Essence Qi and Spirit of those Monks.

When he encountered a Mountain Village, he would also break in and absorb the Essence Qi and Spirit of the bandits.

Although the people in this Small World had low Cultivation and the Essence Qi and Spirit he could draw from each individual was not much,

the advantage lay in this Small World’s vast territory and large population.

With small amounts accumulating into much, the Cultivation of his split body was slowly rising.

At the same time, the White Elephant Vajra and the two Arhats had already repaired the Buddhist Barrier of the Small World where Su Que’s split body was.

Descending to the Lower Realm, they arrived at the Great Buddha Temple and ordered the Abbot of the Great Buddha Temple to mobilize all the Monks of this world to hunt that man.

At the same time, the White Elephant Vajra and the two Arhats personally took the field, turning into Buddha’s Light and searching all over the Small World.

On the other side, Su Jing and Li Yujing were flying along.

Suddenly, Su Jing turned her head and said to Li Yujing, "I don’t know why, but these days Monks have increased all over the land, and they’ve gained a lot of Martial Arts and strange Dharma Gates."

"They are everywhere, forcibly ordaining people into Buddhist Temples."

"I don’t know if my younger brother has also been forced into a Buddhist Temple by them."
