Chapter 1466 - 1466 Ksitigarbha's Successor Hui Zhang, Lapis Lazuli Land, Buddhist Word Boundary

1466 Ksitigarbha’s Successor Hui Zhang, Lapis Lazuli Land, Buddhist Word Boundary

Starting a while back, Chu Kuangren had noticed something strange about Shi Ying. The Buddhist Trait in her has grown stronger.

In other words, her true identity seemed to be awakening.

In the past two years, through the analysis from Lil Ai and the information he gathered about the Buddhist world, he had a strong grasp of the matter, but he had never made it verbal.

“Chief, I need to leave for some time,” Shi Ying said after a hint of hesitation.

“Oh? Where to?”

“To the west. I want to search for some answers.”

Shi Ying decided to trust the woman in white in her mind and search for answers in Lapis Lazuli Land.

“To the west? Why don’t we go together? I’m going there to visit Honghua.”

A while ago, Shang Honghua headed to the Euphoria Pure Land in the west to look for Jing Hui.

Visiting Shang Honghua was just an excuse. He wanted to go to the west because he wanted to see what Shi Ying would do.

“Great!”

Shi Ying was rather surprised that Chu Kuangren would accompany her on this trip.

After some preparations, the two of them departed from the academy.

Lan Yu was studying the insights she recently got on Prominent Radiant War Immortal Physique and was in closed-door cultivation, hence the absence.

As for Chu Hong, someone from the Phoenix Nest visited a few days ago and she followed them away. She has not been back since then and would probably stay there for some time.

The others were minding their own businesses either.

In the past two years, Chu Kuangren has been traveling around the world, enjoying life. The outside world even started a rumor about him slacking on cultivation.

Countless Prodigies seized the chance to try to catch up to him.

Chu Kuangren and Shi Ying’s trip to the west was no urgent matter either. They casually traveled and visited many places along the way.

Six months later, they finally arrived at the far west of the Immortal World.

They clearly sensed the difference in culture and people when they arrived. The people in the west were mostly devoted Buddhists, both men and women.

In addition to that, the cultivating clans were mostly related to the Buddhist world as well.

After some research, they found out that the land was divided into five kingdoms, each having its own Pure Land.

They were the five biggest cultivation factions of the Buddhist world currently, named the Five Ways Pure Land.

In the center of the five kingdoms was another Buddhist land, not categorized under any of them — the Lapis Lazuli Land.

The center land would be Chu Kuangren and Shi Ying’s destination on this trip.

It was said that Lapis Lazuli Lan used to be a cultivation sacred land that rivaled the Five Ways Pure Land. Due to some unknown reasons, it declined and lost every monk it has.

All that was left was the land.

Despite its fall, as one of the top Buddhist world factions that rivals the Five Ways Pure Land, Lapis Lazuli Land still housed many opportunities that attracted Buddhist world cultivators.

Therefore, the Five Ways Pure Land would send their respective disciples to the land for preaching and also search for Opportunities of Fortune once in a while.

The said day was around the corner. The Five Ways Pure Land had agreed to organize another expedition to Lapis Lazuli Land.

“Lapis Lazuli Land eh? Interesting.”

Chu Kuangren and Shi Ying arrived at the land and spotted a golden boundary further away.

The boundary was formed by countless Buddhist characters.

Inside the boundary would be the Lapis Lazuli Land.

Meanwhile, there were many people gathered outside the boundary, listening to the monks’ mantras and speeches.

The monks were rather young-looking, but all of them had Kasaya on with Buddhist light circulating around them, grinding them a holistic and solemn bearing.

For some reason, when Shi Ying spotted the monks, she sensed familiarity in her heart.

The monks also noticed Chu Kuangren and Shi Ying’s arrival.

One of the young monks was shocked by Shi Ying’s arrival. “Guan… No, It’s you… I see…”

The young monk was first surprised before he realized the situation. Curiosity then replaced the remaining expression, but when he saw Chu Kuangren, his eyes shrank in fear.

A heavy look appeared on his face. It was only a few breaths, but his expression already shifted multiple times. It was not exaggerating to call him the master face-shifter of the Buddhist world.

Chu Kuangren noticed the change of expression and smiled profoundly. “It seems like master isn’t welcoming my presence.”

“The Buddhist world is always at people’s convenience. If Brother Chu wants to come, I, Hui Zhang, and my fellow Buddhists welcome you,” the young monk smiled.

Hui Zhang was one of the Prodigies of the Buddhist world. He came from the Pure Land of Virtue and was said to bear the inheritance of Ksitigarbha.

Behind Hui Zhang were the other Prodigies, like Jing Hui and No-Knife Monk.

Jing Hui was rather surprised to see Chu Kuangren. She headed up and greeted him, “Brother Chu, you’re here as well.”

“My king.”

Shang Honghua was also there. She smiled and bowed respectfully.

Chu Kuangren nodded at both of them.

As for the other Buddhist world Prodigies, they might not make it verbal, but their gazes brazenly hinted at their unwelcoming attitude at Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren had killed several Buddhist world Prodigies after all.

In addition to the Papiyas Strength, he could very well be considered the common enemy of the Buddhist world.

It would be strange if they all welcomed his presence.

“Everyone, the session is almost over. Now, let us enter the Lapis Lazuli Land,” Hui Zhang said.

He then looked at Chu Kuangren, “Brother Chu, I still have other matters to attend to, please excuse me. Do help yourself around.”

“The matter that you are referring to is to enter the Lapis Lazuli Land? What a coincidence. My junior and I want to visit the old sacred land of the Buddhist world as well. Why don’t we go in together?”

Chu Kuangren’s words put a bitter look on the other Prodigies’ faces.

“Brother Chu, the Lapis Lazuli Land is a sacred land of the Buddhist world. Only Buddhists are allowed inside, please refrain yourself.”

“Yeah. Besides, the Buddhist Character Boundary is set by the Buddhist great one. Even if we allow your entry, you can’t go in.”

The others adhered in agreement.

Chu Kuangren smiled. “Master Hui Zhang said it. The Buddhist world is at everyone’s convenience, and Lapis Lazuli is considered a fallen Buddhist land. Technically, it does not belong to either of the Pure Lands. As for whether I can enter, I don’t think I need to worry any one of you.”

“You…”

One of the Prodigies tried to raise the argument, but Hui Zhang stopped him.

“If Brother Chu wishes to enter, it is fine by me, as long as the Buddhist Character Boundary acknowledges you.”

“Great.”

Chu Kuangren then headed to the Buddhist Character Boundary.

“Hmph! Chu Kuangren is a merciless killer! He killed many of our Buddhist Prodigies and even possessed the Papiyas strength. Why would the Buddhist Character Boundary grant him entry?

“Yeah. If he wants to break in by force, he’s going to regret it.”

“Not even an Arch Gilded Immortal can break the boundary, let alone him.”

The Prodigies looked at Chu Kuangren as if they were looking at a clown.

However, the closer Chu Kuangren got, the brighter the Buddhist light shone on him.

The Buddhist light shone so brightly that it shadowed even the sun.

Chu Kuangren looked absolutely compassionate with the Buddhist light manifesting around him as if he was a live Buddha.

The people even knelt at him and called him Buddha reincarnate.

The jaw-dropping scene left the Prodigies stunned.
