Chapter 261: Meeting The Immortals

Wang Xuan was astonished, realizing Chen Yongjie had come prepared, specifically targeting the ancient temple at Zhous estate. However, the thought of the lotus pods origin excited him too, considering it was a divine seed harvested by Buddha himself from the highest spiritual realm!

He wasnt sure about the specifics of ancient times, but doubted many at his level could plant such divine seeds in their Life Soil realm. This opportunity wasn't for the newly transcendent; it was a rarity, possibly only for the chosen successors of the greatest immortals.

Wang Xuan frowned, pondering the consequences of vying with Buddha for this chance. With a red-dressed demoness already eyeing him, adding a supreme Buddha to the mix would complicate his life.

Chen sighed, "In this age, we can't afford to be choosy. Everything's decaying and vanishing. It's about surviving on our own terms now. Look at what I'm practicing the Sixteen-Arhat Body, Sakyamuni's Scriptures, the Bodhisattva Fist. I'm starting to feel like a monk already, but I just got married, so no way can I renounce the world."

Wang Xuan nodded, "If there's truly karma, and you can't handle it, you could always retreat to a monastery and become a future Buddha."

Chen stared at him incredulously, as if Wang Xuan was already setting him up to take the fall. "Try saying that to Guan Lin!" he challenged.

Wang Xuan chuckled, "Lets not upset Guan Lin. I'm also practicing Sakyamuni's Scriptures. We're all connected by fate." He then shared the complete Sakyamuni scriptures with Chen, curious to see how far Chen could advance in the Buddhist path.

Chen felt conflicted, torn between his suitability for Buddhist practice and the fear of involuntary renunciation. "I'll balance it with other techniques. Ive even picked out names for my son; I can't become a monk." He then glanced at Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan, feeling Chen's gaze, questioned, "Why are you looking at me like that?" detecting something impure in his look.

Elder Zhou, named Zhou Hongbin, eagerly awaited Wang Xuan. After several incidents, he was certain of Wang Xuan's capabilities in extending life; others were merely giving massages.

Wang Xuan, having finished chatting with Chen Yongjie, followed Zhou Hongbin to the ancient temple. Elder Zhou was quite straightforward, bringing out trays laden with various religious artifacts, from demon-subduing maces to Buddhist shrines and scriptures. It was evident that he was a true believer, cherishing these ancient items, not just as cultural relics but with a genuine reverence.

Elder Zhous sincerity was clear in the items he presented. Each piece, engraved with runes and exuding a subtle Buddhist aura, was a rare treasure. Among these, a particular bowl stood out as an extraordinary artifact. In the resplendent era of transcendence, such artifacts were considered divine and were powerful weapons in top sects.

Wang Xuan examined them carefully. He hesitated before the bowl and instead turned his attention to a three-foot-long, one-foot-wide silk cloth inscribed with characters he couldn't recognize.

Chen Yongjie also looked at the yellow silk, suspecting its power but unable to decipher it, speculating, "The Six-Syllable Mantra?"

Before making a decision, Wang Xuan first extended Elder Zhou's life. During the process, he infused some of the artifacts with mysterious factors for a closer examination.

"Such a large relic!" exclaimed Chen, surprised.

He saw a relic embedded in a piece of green stone within the temple, crystal clear and perfectly round like a gem. However, even he couldn't perceive the gap leading to the inner landscape.

As Wang Xuan infused Elder Zhou with life-extending energy, he also covered Zhou Yun, who had accompanied them, bestowing benefits upon him as well. Wang Xuan knew that as the era of calm was ending, opportunities to be near true bones or relics were dwindling, and he wanted to help his acquaintances while he could.

He also infused Chen Yongjie's flesh with the mysterious factors since Chen had almost depleted his energy after advancing to the Herb Gathering realm.

When Wang Xuan focused on the yellow silk, infusing it with mysterious factors, it began to emit a Buddhist light, and the characters glowed. He sensed the item's profound nature and decided to choose it over the bowl.

After infusing mysterious factors, Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie both projected their spirits and hurried to the Zhou family's treasury, eager to discover if the half lotus pod was there.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

In the treasury, they found numerous treasures and several extraordinary artifacts, the most prominent being a golden Buddha statue of immense dignity, covered in dense runes. It was a top-tier extraordinary artifact.

Wang Xuan scrutinized it but refrained from touching it, sensing that the golden Buddha was tampered with.

Despite a thorough search, they found no trace of the lotus pod. "There are only a few families with temples; we'll find it eventually!" Chen was not disheartened and remained confident.

Wang Xuan reminded him of another ancient temple on the New Moon. Chen nodded but felt the heavenly medicine seed was likely on New Star.

In the temple, Chen looked dignified in his kasaya. He took out the kasaya and a five-colored feather fan, asking Wang Xuan to replenish them with mysterious factors. Chen had drained these artifacts of their supernatural substances for his cultivation.

"Hey, Old Wang, where are you? There's bloodshed at the scene. It's not Professor Lin, but he's the one who beat the other guy up, covered in blood," Qin Cheng loudly informed Wang Xuan over the phone, his voice loud enough for others at the meeting to hear.

The crowd was speechless. Although Huang Jinglin had lost, he wasn't in agonizing pain as Qin Cheng described.

Irritated, Huang Jinglin got up from the ground, wanting to throttle Qin Cheng, suspecting that Professor Lin's disciple was deliberately slandering him.

"I'm just outside the Huang family's estate," Wang Xuan informed him.

The Huang family, while not a financial powerhouse, had considerable assets. They couldn't maintain their reputation as an ancient martial arts family without substantial resources.

Everyone present, being cultivators with keen hearing, overheard the conversation between Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng, and were stunned to learn that the recent influential figure, Wang Xuan, had arrived!

"Quick, welcome the Sword Immortal!" Huang Xinghai led the crowd out to greet him with great respect.

The crowd was momentarily dumbstruck upon seeing Wang Xuan. He was surprisingly young. While his combat videos were all over various platforms, they were all blurry, never showing his face clearly. Now, in person, they were shocked to see someone so young already a powerful superhuman.

"Sword Immortal!" many exclaimed, their eyes filled with fervor.

Wang Xuan wanted to correct themhe wasn't a Sword Immortal, as swordsmanship wasn't his fortebut seeing their eager expressions, he chose not to clarify. He smiled and nodded in greeting, then approached Professor Lin and Huang Xinghai.

"Professor, are you alright?" he asked.

The crowd had mixed emotions, marveling at how Professor Lin had mentored such a remarkable disciple in the old land.

"I'm fine, very good," Professor Lin replied with a smile, looking much younger than before, brimming with vitality even though he deliberately dyed his temples white.

"Wang Xuan, you've been invited repeatedly; is there something important?" asked Wang Xuan, looking at Huang Xinghai.

"Indeed, there's an urgent matter. Please, let's talk inside; it's not convenient here," Huang Xinghai responded, his heart tumultuous at the sight of Wang Xuan, a prodigious talent capable of opening inner landscapes, especially in this era of superhuman decay. It was a pity he wasn't a part of the Huang family.

Maintaining composure and with a secret treasure masking his inner thoughts, Huang Xinghai wasn't worried about a superhuman detecting his intentions.

"I'd like to challenge you, superhuman, Sword Immortal!" Huang Jingfeng interjected, eager for a match since returning from the Blessed Land and having heard much about Wang Xuan.

"Huang Jingfeng, stand down!" Huang Xinghai ordered sternly.

"It's fine," Wang Xuan signaled for him to proceed, curious to gauge the strength of someone who had returned from the Blessed Land.

Huang Jingfeng attacked, his fist glowing and emitting blinding lightning. Dozens of light beams intertwined like a spider web, striking towards Wang Xuan.

The crowd gasped in awe. Was this the power of a superhuman? Witnessing such a display of thunderous might at close range was truly astonishing.

Wang Xuan extended his right hand forward, and with a loud boom, all the lightning extinguished, the energy and light collapsing. At the same time, Huang Jingfeng grunted, staggering back with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Was it over already? The onlookers were dumbstruck.

"Let's go," Wang Xuan said, motioning for Huang Xinghai to lead the way. He was quite disappointed with the Huang family's superhuman, who was only at a "weak mist" level of the Mist Realm.

"Please," Huang Xinghai, although shocked, quickly composed himself and led Wang Xuan inside.

He apologized to the crowd, explaining they would not accompany them to the ancestral hall, a crucial area of the Huang family.

Wang Xuan frowned, sensing something amiss as they approached the building. There... a being was awakening! Was this his first encounter with a returned immortal?

Now that he was facing this situation, he had no reason to hesitate. He strode forward, the God Slaying Banner at the ready.
