Chapter 195 - The Indian Buddha enters Shaolin
Chapter 195: The Indian Buddha enters Shaolin
“Have you heard? The Indian Buddha, Aro, has come to our nine provinces again.”
“Aro? Who is Aro? Is he very powerful?”
“Look at how ignorant you are. Aro is a genius Buddhist disciple from India more than 40 years ago.
“Back then, he came to challenge the Buddhist disciples of our nine provinces and only failed once. He won all the other duels. In the following decades, he came to challenge us every year. Besides that time when he failed, he has never failed before.”
“Wow! It can’t be, right? Is he that powerful?”
“He is quite powerful. It is said that he is already at the peak of the Xiantian sixth-grade great grandmaster rank. He could advance to the Xiantian seventh grade at any time!”
“Oh my God, if he advances to the Xiantian seventh grade, isn’t that the legendary divine grandmaster rank?”
“Isn’t that so? So you know how powerful he is, right? I heard about it! He had already defeated quite a number of people this time. Because he only challenged people of the same generation, seniors and juniors wouldn’t challenge him. Therefore, unless the nine provinces Buddhist senior who defeated him previously made another move, he would definitely sweep through this year!”
“Hiss! He is really too strong! Speaking of which, isn’t our nine provinces’ Buddhist sect very powerful? How can we not be able to defeat him?”
“What are your ears for? Didn’t you hear what I said just now? Do you want me to say it again? He is only challenging the Buddhist martial arts experts of his generation.
“I will not mention the Buddhist eminent monks who are slightly older than him. In the past few decades, the nine provinces Buddhist sect has also produced very powerful martial arts experts.
“Among them, there were two who were one or two years younger than him and had already advanced to the divine sect. Were they stronger than him?
“The ones he challenged were only those who were in the same batch as him. In his batch, there weren’t many who could fight. Don’t you think it’s infuriating?”
“There’s nothing we can do about that.”
Ye Xiao had already known that the Indian Buddhist was coming. He had not expected him to come so quickly!
Moreover, it seemed that that fellow did have some potential.
Generally speaking, a normal genius would advance to the grandmaster rank around the age of 30 to 40 years old. They would advance to a great grandmaster at the age of 50 to 60 years old and advance to the divine sect at the age of 100 years old.
The other party was able to advance to the peak of Xiantian sixth grade at the age of 60 years old. He was only half a step away from entering the Xiantian seventh-grade divine sect. His aptitude could be considered pretty good.
However, Ye Xiao was not too interested.
That was because his genius was only compared to ordinary people. If he were to compete with those true geniuses, he might not even be able to compete with Piao Jiansheng, let alone the emperor’s bloodline owner.
If it was not for the fact that Fa Zheng wanted to fight with him, he probably would not even care about that name.
Then again, according to what they said, if nothing unexpected happened, there was an 80-90 percent chance that Fa Zheng would lose.
He had a good relationship with the old monk.
‘Let me see if I can help him.’
No matter what, Fa Zheng was from nine provinces. No matter how talented Aro was, he was still Indian.
He still had to help his own people.
He quickly arrived on the fifth floor.
There were almost no students on the fourth floor because ordinary students were not allowed to come up here unless they had contributed or had excellent results.
Fa Zheng, on the other hand, was reading on the fifth floor.
The fifth and sixth floors were also the places where most of the Buddhist techniques donated by Shaolin were stored.
Ye Xiao went up and took a look.
Fa Zheng’s current cultivation had already reached the peak of Xiantian fifth grade. He was just one step away from advancing to Xiantian sixth grade.
However, his talent was only that of an ordinary genius. Therefore, if he were to rely on himself to advance, he might not even be able to complete it in a few months.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and found a Diamond Sutra on the bookshelf.
The Diamond Sutra was a grandmaster-level mental cultivation technique in Buddhism.
There were actually many mental cultivation techniques in Buddhism, and they were very famous.
One example was the muscle-tendon changing sutra, Diamond Bodhi Sutra.
However, in reality, the Dharma Scripture was the true essence of the Buddhist mental cultivation technique. It could also be said to be the general outline of the Buddhist mental cultivation technique.
Ye Xiao had already learned the Dharma Scripture, so he could see through those Shaolin mental cultivation techniques at a glance. He could understand the flaws in them in minutes and optimize them.
Subsequently, he used his own strength to change the information recorded in one of the Diamond Bodhi Sutra into another mental cultivation technique. Many parts of the Dharma Scripture were added into it, perfectly joining together.
Although it could not be compared to the complete Dharma Scripture, it was still several times better than the Diamond Bodhi Sutra.
He walked to Fa Zheng’s side and placed the text on the book that he had not read yet.
His cultivation was too high, so Fa Zheng could not notice that small action at all.
“Old Monk, you came to read so early? Did you have breakfast?”
“No, this penniless monk can’t eat with Mr. Ye these days.”
Ye Xiao nodded.
“Then continue to work hard. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
“Alright! We’ll talk about it after a while. When the time comes, this penniless monk will treat you to a meal.”
Ye Xiao smiled.
“Then when the time comes, if I go to order seafood or something, you’re not allowed to cheat!”
“Don’t worry. Although this penniless monk doesn’t eat, this penniless monk will never stop others from eating.”
The two of them bade farewell and Ye Xiao returned to his fourth floor.
As a good friend, he had already helped out a little. If Fa Zheng could comprehend it, that would be his blessing.
If he could not comprehend it, then there was nothing he could do.
Ye Xiao was currently only at Xiantian eighth grade. For the time being, he did not want to expose his identity.
Now, he had to busy himself with his own matters.
The first thing he needed to do was to read a book and look up some information. He wanted to see which flowers could be bought in that world and which ones were within the price range that he could afford.
Susan the bee needed flowers to produce honey. Moreover, the better the flowers, the better the honey that was produced.
It could be imagined that good honey would definitely help him improve his strength.
Therefore, Ye Xiao tried his best to find good flowers.
…
On the other side, under the ground, Susan had already been healed by Mo Yu and the Earth Immortal Weng.
Although Mo Yu’s healing technique was also an imperial technique when compared to Ye Xiao, it was like heaven and earth.
Whether it was a healing technique or a cultivation technique, if one wanted to use it well, it still depended on the person.
Ye Xiao’s mental cultivation technique was very powerful!
Therefore, when he used a healing technique or a battle technique, his power was much stronger than others.
In addition, his attacks were very powerful. Those two strikes had caused serious damage to Susan. Mo Yu was still unable to do his job as a healer. With the help of the Earth Immortal Weng, he was much better.
After healing, Susan’s expression was ice-cold and unsightly.
“That d*mned human b*stard! He doesn’t treat us as living beings at all. He’s absolutely detestable to the extreme.”
Norfis consoled her,
“There’s no other way. We have no choice but to lower our heads under the eaves. Let’s endure it for the time being. I’ve already thought it through. As long as we work together, bide our time, bear hardships after hardships, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, work hard to govern, and work hard to be strong… We’ll definitely be able to break through this seal in the future
“You just need to bide your time. I can understand it. There’s no need to say so much.”
After a pause, Susan spoke again,
“Then with Senior’s opinion, how long will it take for us to escape from here?”
Norfis stroked his chin and said with a serious expression,
“Previously, I predicted 2,500 years for us, but after the three of you came in, I’m a little uncertain. Those 2,500 years definitely won’t be enough for us to defeat that guy.
“So I’ve decided to add another 1,500 years, make it up to 4,000 years!
“Star beasts will increase their cultivation base with age.
“After 4,000 years, we can all become peak-stage divine grandmasters!”
Susan frowned slightly.
“Isn’t this a little too long?”
Norfis shook his head.
“Not at all. We star beasts aren’t like humans. In a few decades, we’ll become a generation of superior martial arts experts. We’ll need a long period of time to temper and grow.
“And there’s one more thing that you haven’t thought of.
“The lifespan of humans is very short. Even if the martial arts they practice become very strong, their age won’t surpass us star beasts.
“If we push the time to 4,000 years, there are four benefits.
“First, if this human kid doesn’t live long, we can torture him to death.
“It’s impossible for the human race to always have a martial arts expert like him, right? Won’t we be free then?
“Second, even if he doesn’t die, his talent will still be limited, right? He can easily reach the peak of the divine sect, but it will be difficult for him to advance to the King realm.
“If he can’t break through this realm in his entire life, as long as we all reach the peak of the divine sect, we can destroy him.
“Thirdly, if there is a beast calamity during this period and we are discovered by our own kind, we can also escape if they rescue us.”
Susan nodded.
“As expected of a senior. What you said makes sense. This junior admires you, but what about another point?”
“This fourth point is actually not important. However, think about it. The conflict between the star beasts and the humans is becoming more and more intense. The battle is getting more and more intense year by year. There will be a decisive battle sooner or later.
“How many people will die and how many star beasts will there be?
“If we were to be poultry here, even though it might not sound good, in reality, we would be safe too!
“If you were to go out now, you would only be a slave to the Tiger God. Who would you be a slave to?
“Ye Xiao is not bad either. He is strong and handsome. He is only a human. However, if he doesn’t say it and if we don’t say it, who would know that we have been poultry to the human race?
“After 4,000 years, perhaps the humans and star beasts would all be dead.
“As for us, our cultivation would just reach a high level.
“At that time, if we were to go out again, it would be beneficial to us without any harm!
“Perhaps, both you and I would become an overlord!”
Susan’s heart shook.
Hiss!
What Senior Norfis said… Actually made some sense!
