Chapter 108: Mysterious Vegetarian Feast on the Eve of Buddha ‘s Birthday

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The night was cool as water.

In Tian Chong Temple, the lights were gradually extinguished.

Perched atop a large mountain, the temple resembled a vast beast lurking in the darkness.

A slender figure leaped into the temple, moving lightly without making a sound.

She rolled up the sleeves of her nightwear, revealing a line of faint golden characters on her delicate wrist.

“Only four hours left.”

She glanced at it, knowing she needed to act quickly.

The woman in the nightwear, named Lin Qingyu, came from the renowned demon sect of the Archean Eon Realm, the Spirit Charm Sect.

Three thousand years ago, Tian Chong Temple had clashed with the Demon Charm Sect when the Tian Chong Buddha was still alive.

He converted the “Heart-Bewitching Elder” of the Spirit Charm Sect with a mere vegetarian feast, leading her to confess her ten major sins and convert to Buddhism, willingly being confined in the temple for self-reflection.

Back then, the Heart-Bewitching Elder was at the Void Refinening Stage. After becoming a nun, she disappeared from the public eye.

Years passed, and outsiders assumed she had entered nirvana long ago.

But Lin Qingyu knew otherwise.

Inside the Spirit Charm Sect, the soul lamp of the elder still burned.

The soul lamp, a special magical artifact commonly used by major sects, is activated by a cultivator’s essence blood before leaving for important missions.

If the cultivator perishes, the lamp extinguishes, serving as a notification.

Three thousand years had passed since the Heart-Bewitching Elder converted and became a nun, but her soul lamp had never gone out.

“The Heart-Bewitching Elder was a top enchantress, practicing the ‘Mysterious Yin Nurturing Spirit Chapter,’ which required dual cultivation with men daily before reaching the Mahayana phase, or her cultivation would regress…” Lin Qingyu’s eyes narrowed.

Such an enchantress willingly became a nun, embracing asceticism.

This itself was riddled with doubts, let alone her prolonged survival.

Tasked by her sect, Lin Qingyu came to clarify what truly happened back then.

The golden characters on her wrist were a decree left by a powerful figure of the Spirit Charm Sect.

It concealed her aura, eluding the Buddhist cultivators of Tian Chong Temple.

However, the temple’s holy ground was under the protection of Buddhist might, limiting the decree’s effectiveness to only four hours.

After four hours, once the decree faded, the powerful monks of Tian Chong Temple would detect Lin Qingyu’s presence.

Thus, she needed to locate the Heart-Bewitching Elder and ascertain her current state before dawn.

Harnessing her internal force, Lin Qingyu moved through the temple.

The temple had a no-fly zone array, and not even a mosquito could take flight.

She used stealth techniques, sticking to the walls, concealing her presence, avoiding the patrolling monks without making a sound.

She took out a lotus-shaped lantern covered with a black cloth, faintly glowing from within.

This was the Heart-Bewitching Elder’s soul lamp, which Lin Qingyu brought from her sect.

The lamp, holding the cultivator’s essence blood, would glow brighter as Lin Qingyu neared the elder.

While the lamp couldn’t provide a precise route, it helped her locate the general area.

Utilizing a cultivator’s speed, Lin Qingyu continuously corrected her direction, moving towards the core area of Tian Chong Temple.

After a long while.

As she turned a corner, preparing to check the soul lamp for her direction, she heard voices nearby.

“Quick, hurry up, don’t let him escape!”

“Search carefully, don’t miss any corner!”

“Tomorrow is Buddha’s Birthday; the abbot ordered no mistakes!”

A group of disciplinary monks crowded over, each wielding a magical artifact with powerful auras, seemingly searching for someone.

Lin Qingyu was startled, then realized they weren’t after her.

Someone had infiltrated the temple and was discovered by the disciplinary monks.

As the stern-faced monks approached, Lin Qingyu reluctantly flipped over a nearby courtyard wall.

Jumping the wall was inelegant, but she had no choice.

First, due to the temple’s restrictions, cultivators couldn’t use transformation techniques to disguise themselves as small insects on a stone.

Second, the walls and ground of the temple were made of Buddhist gold bricks, engraved with scriptures. When combined, they formed a magical artifact, rendering wall-penetrating techniques useless.

However, just as she was halfway over, her body not yet landed, Lin Qingyu froze.

She saw someone squatting by the wall base, dressed similarly to her in the same nightwear from the Longevity Palace, their face concealed.

The person on the ground was equally shocked upon seeing Lin Qingyu.

Both concealed their auras, unaware of each other’s presence, resulting in an unexpected collision.

The atmosphere turned awkward. Lin Qingyu was about to flee using her powers, but the other person reacted faster.

He grabbed Lin Qingyu’s dangling ankle and yanked her down.

With a thud, Lin Qingyu landed in the soft mud, realizing she was in a vegetable garden.

Her ankle seized, Lin Qingyu instinctively counterattacked. Her body twisted at an incredible angle, and she kicked out, striking the other’s face.

The man in black grunted, sent flying by her kick.

The enchantress from the Spirit Charm Sect rose gracefully, a short knife materializing in her hand, and swiftly attacked in silence..
