Chapter 1912

“That’s right, the woman among those three is Qing Liu, an Exceptional Genius of the Superfluous Lifeless Sect. She must have challenged Liujie to a Duel of Will to comprehend a new Dao Art,” Yuanji said.

Qin Nan’s eyes glittered.

It was a perfect chance for him.

However, how should he capture them?

The duel between Liujie and the three cultivators inside the round diagram intensified. Rare phenomena began to occur.

“This Liujie’s will is extraordinary,” Qin Nan exclaimed as he observed the duel with the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle.

The two sides were equally matched on the surface, but the truth was, Liujie had completely secured the upper hand. His Bodhi will was slowly penetrating his opponents.

Time gradually passed. Around half an hour later…

Qing Liu and her men were losing their ground. They were slowly backing away. They had reached the edge of the diagram before they realized it.

Once they stepped out of the diagram, they would lose the duel.

“The Art of Superfluousness, creating from nothing!”

Qing Liu suddenly unleashed her will. Wisps of dull glow surged forward and formed several giant swords in the rift. They proceeded to form a powerful sword formation.

“Mercy of the Buddha!”

Liujie straightened his face too. He uttered loudly when thirty-six golden warriors appeared behind him, each performing a different action as they stood in an invisible formation.

BANG!

Strong gusts of wind swept across the hall, shaking it vigorously.

Qing Liu was not willing to admit her defeat. Her will continued to rise, as if it was going to break through its limit.

Unfortunately, the energy she accumulated was not enough to break through successfully.

BANG BANG BANG!

Following a series of explosions, Qing Liu and her men were knocked flying. Blood leaked out from their lips as their auras fell dramatically.

The injuries from losing the Duel of Will was worse than ordinary injuries. It would take a long time to recover from the injuries even with the help of Immortal Blessing resources.

“Amitabha.”

Liujie placed his palms together as he landed on the ground. The overwhelming Bodhi intent and the golden warriors gradually dissipated.

He glanced at Qin Nan and the others when he sensed something. His eyes flickered murderously when he saw Yuanji and Yuanjue. However, he soon shifted his gaze to Qing Liu and her men.

“Three masters, you have lost the duel. Based on what we’ve agreed upon, you will spend a month in our sect’s Bodhi Pond…” Liujie said.

The Ancient Bodhi Temple had come up with the Duel of Will to lure the Exceptional Geniuses of the other factions into the Bodhi Pond.

Even though it would not necessarily brainwash them, it was still favorable to the sect if they could nurture the Buddha nature in their hearts.

They would be hitting a jackpot if they coincidentally convinced one or two Exceptional Geniuses to join them.

“Wait!”

Qin Nan interrupted.

“Mm?”

He immediately gathered everyone’s attention.

Yuanji and Yuanjue were startled too.

What was Qin Nan trying to do?

“You are…”

Liujie remained expressionless. He did not even greet Qin Nan the usual way whenever a Buddhist met a stranger.

The feeble-looking scholar was obviously not friendly if he came with Yuanji and Yuanjue.

“I’m Lin Nan, a rogue cultivator. I have come here because I’ve heard from Master Yuanji and Master Yuanjue that Master Liujie is excellent in the teachings of the Buddha. I’m here to have a Duel of Will with you,” Qin Nan said smilingly. He began to emit the aura of the early stage of the Peerless Ruler Realm.

The crowd was startled.

Liujie’s eyes flickered too.

Yuanji and Yuanjue were familiar with his cultivation. If they suggested this man Lin Nan to challenge him to a Duel of Will, he must be very capable too.

“If I win, I just want Qing Liu and her men to follow me for a month. I won’t harm them. If I lose, I will give you this cauldron. How’s that?”

Qin Nan took out the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.

“You assh***, how dare you treat me as a stake again…”

Doom’s groan echoed in the hall. If he did lose his mind, he might yell out Qin Nan’s name and curse him right away.

“Doom, the second-ranked among the Ten Primordial Evils?”

“It will be a great merit if anyone can convert it!”

The elders in the Peerless Ruler Realm recognized the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron at the first glance.

Qing Liu and her men were startled too.

Who was this feeble-looking scholar? Why was he helping them?

“Amitabha, Master Lin’s proposal is very tempting, but I already had a Duel of Will today. I need some time to recover from it. Why don’t we discuss it another time?” Liujie withheld his urge and declined tactfully.

“Liujie, are you scared now?”

Yuanji burst out laughing and snorted disdainfully, “Weren’t you extremely brave when you ambushed Senior Brother Yuanjue and I in the past? Why did you turn into a coward now that you’ve achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm?”

Yuanji spent some time with Xiu Shenliang, thus he had learned some skills of mocking people from him.

“Yuanji, don’t you speak off the cuff!” the Great Elder snapped.

Even though Yuanji had spoken the truth, it was not appropriate to mention it in front of the crowd.

Yuanji twisted his lips and said, “Yuanji, how about this? If you win the duel, I’ll give you my three badges. What do you say?”

The monks were dumbfounded by the words.

The Ancient Bodhi Temple had eighteen badges. If any of the Exceptional Geniuses were able to collect them all, they would be deemed the next Patriarch.

Liujie had ambushed Yuanji and Yuanjue in the past to rob their badges.

Liujie had taken Yuanjue’s two badges.

“Amitabha, Junior Brother Yuanji, are you being serious?”

Liujie squinted. He was intrigued by the offer.

“Why would I lie to you? However, if you lose, apart from handing over Qing Liu and her men, you will submit to my brother Lin Nan too. How’s that?” Yuanji said.

It was Qin Nan that asked him to provoke Liujie.

“Sure.”

Liujie paused briefly before nodding in the end. He looked at Qing Liu and her men and said, “Fellow masters, if I lose, you will have to follow Cultivator Lin Nan for a month. Are you willing to do so?”

Qing Liu and her men nodded after a slight hesitation.

Lin Nan obviously had something in his mind, yet anything was better than staying in the Bodhi Pond for a month.

As for what Lin Nan actually wanted from them, they would worry about it when the time came.

“Master Lin Nan, let’s begin.”

Liujie sat with his legs crossed in the air and signaled Qin Nan to start the duel.

His eyes emitted a faint Bodhi glow.

This Lin Nan must have come prepared. Otherwise, Yuanji would not dare to use his badges as part of the stake.

However…

He too had a trump card that he had not used before!
