Chapter 1411: The Dragon Clan Near Their Demise, Chu Kuangren Is Too Good At Pretending
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the sky above the Dragon clan, the Million Strong Underworld Army attacked, with Gilded Immortals and Arch Gilded Immortals among them.
Coupled with the Eighty Demonic Generals’ help, Chu Kuangren formed an army alone and put the entire Dragon clan in despair!
Although the Dragon Clan Forefather was an Arch Gilded Immortal, he was eventually killed after a round of combat with the Skeletal Yin General. Even the rest of the Dragon clan Gilded Immortals fell one after another.
“We’re doomed…”
A Dragon clan’s elder looked at what was left of the Dragon clan with a dejected expression.
!!
Meanwhile, Jing Hui walked out from another ruin. Initially imprisoned, she was released when Chu Kuangren turned the Dragon clan into chaos and destroyed the Dragon clan’s defense force.
Looking at the countless Underworld Soldiers and Generals, as well as the Dragon clan’s disciples who were killed and injured, Jing Hui was so shocked that her delicate body trembled.
Had she walked into a hell on earth?
“Amitabha…”
A look of pity appeared on Jing Hui’s face. She pressed her palms together, sat down with her legs crossed, and recited the Rebirth Mantra.
Soon, the Buddhist Light manifested to be salvation for all dead souls.
Chu Kuangren sensed the Buddhist Light and looked over, where he noticed Jing Hui. Immediately, he knew she was the target of his trip this time.
“The Dragon clan has imprisoned her, but she is trying to help them find peace?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
However, he did not think what Jing Hui did was wrong as it was about her personal Dao.
He did not want to judge her either.
The next moment, Hell’s Gate operated, and countless Underworld Soldiers returned to the Yin Space.
Yin qi in the air gradually dissipated.
Only the Dragon clan’s ruins and frightened Dragon clan’s disciples were left.
In the ruins, Buddhist Light emerged with only the sound of Jing Hui’s chanting reverberating in the air. The solemn and calming effect it had relieved the Dragon clan from their panic.
However, they still looked at Chu Kuangren like a devil!
Chu Kuangren approached Jing Hui and released Shang Honghua from his Enchanted Sleeve.
Shang Honghua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jing Hui was safe and sound. Seeing that she was chanting scripture, Shang Honghua did not step forward to disturb her.
“My King, Jing Hui is kind, and she’s a Buddhist. Please forgive her.”
Shang Honghua was worried that Chu Kuangren would be displeased with Jing Hui’s act of trying to help the Dragon clan’s people.
Chu Kuangren did not take it to heart. “It’s fine.”
Following that, he looked at a Dragon clan Gilded Immortal and slowly walked toward him.
He was the only Gilded Immortal left in the Dragon clan.
Unfortunately, he was severely injured by the Yin Army, which left him with little strength and his aura weak.
On top of the terrifying series of incidents, he was frightened upon seeing Chu Kuangren approaching him. “D-Don’t come near me!”
Chu Kuangren mobilized his thoughts and imprisoned the Gilded Immortal with silver-white Daoist patterns. It was the Spacetime Sealing Technique.
“It will be a question and answer session from now on. If your answers satisfy me, you and the rest of the Dragon clan can live.”
“W-What do you want to ask me?” the Dragon clan Gilded Immortal asked while calming himself down.
“Why did the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist and others come to the Dragon clan?”
“The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist… The East Sovereign Immortal Hall’s people came here to take the Arcane Deity Order.”
At that point, the Dragon clan Gilded Immortal had nothing to hide. He told Chu Kuangren everything he knew for the sake of the remaining Dragon clan disciples.
The Arcane Deity Order was a treasure the Dragon clan obtained by chance.
It was said that the order was related to the Nine Heavens Deity, a top-notched Gilded Immortal in ancient Immortal times.
The Nine Heavens Deity, who was the most powerful female cultivator under the West Ruler Matriarch, had left behind an orthodoxy called the Arcane Deity Sect on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.
According to rumors, that orthodoxy was guarding some of the treasures the West Ruler Matriarch left behind.
The Arcane Deity Order was the Arcane Deity Sect’s token and key to entering the Arcane Deity Sect and obtaining those treasures.
Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up with interest upon hearing that statement.
Those ancient Immortal Embodier great ones seemed to be preparing something by leaving some of their treasures for those in the current era.
Perhaps they were like Xu Wu, cultivating living energies to resist the Void Egg?
First, it was the Jade Pool in the Kunlun Secret Realm, and now the Arcane Deity Sect on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet…
They were all left by the West Ruler Matriarch.
Chu Kuangren was interested to take a look at it.
“Amitabha…”
At that moment, Jing Hui was done with her chanting.
She looked at Shang Honghua and nodded. “I’m relieved that you’re fine, Benefactor Shang.”
“These are your prayer beads.”
Shang Honghua returned the prayer beads, which were an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon, to Jing Hui. To a Prodigy, they were also considered a precious treasure.
“Oh…” Jing Hui suddenly eeked.
Then, she looked at Shang Honghua and furrowed her brows. “The evil qi in your body hasn’t been completely eradicated?”
“Yeah.”
Shang Honghua nodded. “Although it hasn’t been completely removed, I have no risk of falling down the path of evil at any time, as it was before.”
“My Buddhist world has a Restful Mantra that can clear one’s mind and soul. I’ll pass it on to you, and hope it’ll be of great help to you,” said Jing Hui.
Before this, Shang Honghua had the risk of becoming evil at any time and could not calm herself to cultivate the Restful Mantra. However, since most of her evil qi had been expelled, she could cultivate it now.
“Well..”
Shang Honghua was a little surprised. “The Restful Mantra is a Buddhist cultivation technique. Will it affect you if you pass it on to me?”
All advanced cultivation techniques were strictly guarded by their respective orthodoxies and could not be easily passed on to others.
“Rest assured, Benefactor Shang. This Restful Mantra isn’t a precious cultivation technique.”
“Many thanks for it.”
At that moment, Chu Kuangren approached them.
He took out a crystal-clear pearl that contained intense Buddhist Light. “For helping Honghua several times, please accept this as a gift.”
“The Bodhi Heart?”
Jing Hui was shocked.
The Bodhi Heart was the Buddhist world’s most precious treasure. It had the protection of a Daoist core and contained a Buddhist cultivator’s understanding of Buddhist cultivation at the Bodhisattva level.
Only a Bodhisattva-grade existence could form the Bodhi Heart.
Even a Prodigy like Jing Hui dreamt of having a treasure like that.
“I-It’s too precious.”
Jing Hui immediately waved her hand to reject Chu Kuangren’s offer.
“It’s useless to me, so it’s a waste if I keep it,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
He had obtained the Bodhi Heart from the killing of Huijue, the Buddhist Samantabhadra’s successor, and had been keeping it ever since. However, he had yet to have a chance to use it.
It could not be a better idea to give it to Jing Hui as a reward.
He could be regarded as the Buddhist world’s enemy because he had killed Buddhist Prodigies like Huijue and Buddha’s Sword and even possessed the Papiyas Might. However, he could always deal with matters and people clearly.
Since Jing Hui helped Shang Honghua, he gave her the Bodhi Heart.
If he and the Buddhist world became enemies and fought in the future, he would not hesitate because he owed them a favor.
After Jing Hui heard Chu Kuangren’s words, the corner of her mouth twitched.
‘The Bodhi Heart is useless and a waste if kept with him?’
‘How many treasures does he have? So many that the Bodhi Heart, a Buddhist treasure, has become a decoration?!’
‘Chu Kuangren is too good at pretending.’
“If that’s the case, I’ll accept it.”
Jing Hui took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the Bodhi Heart.
At first, she was afraid of Chu Kuangren after knowing that he killed all the Dragon clan disciples,
However, when she saw his handsome look, she suddenly felt that Chu Kuangren was not that scary anymore.
