Chapter 568 The Buddhist Relics in the Tablet
The entrance of Tianjiao Battle was still slowly turning. There was no response of it.
“…Senior Sister Apprentice Qingshui, we have inquired clearly in the past few days.”
Remembering Su Li’s previous instructions, Jiang Run changed her t.i.tle and said with a respectful tone, “The rules of each Tianjiao Battle are almost the same. The first test is to examine the essence of pract.i.tioners’ souls to prevent alien clans from blending in with us.”
“Sister, I’ve also collected a lot of information.”
Xuan An glanced at Jiang Run. He smiled and said with a tone that implied a comparative meaning, “I heard that in ancient times, alien clans were rampant, but Human Clan was far from being as strong as it is now. It could even only survive in the cracks among alien clans. The first means of cultivating the Human Clan’s talents must be eliminating alien spies, otherwise it is very possible to do good for the alien clans.”
Su Li nodded slightly, and her eyes flashed with strange lights.
The condition of her body was complicated now, and she didn’t even know whether she belonged to Human Clan or not, so she was not sure whether she could pa.s.s the first test.
But since she had already entered, there was absolutely no chance for her to come back.
Jiang Run gave a quizzical look at Xuan An, who was struggling for favor. He coughed lightly and continued, “The second test is about cultivation. The skeletal age of the Tianjiao List is limited within two thousand years old. Whether the partic.i.p.ants are one hundred years old or one thousand years old, they will be treated equally. The higher the cultivation level is, the higher the initial ranking will be.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Run paused and worried, “Senior Sister Apprentice, I’m afraid that the ages of the twelve of us…are too young. The oldest among us is only 1,200 years old, and the disciples of holy sects are at the age of 2,000. The age gap is too big.”
Su Li didn’t answer when she heard the words. She glanced at Jiguang Sect and others, who all bowed their heads in shame.
“Why? It hasn’t even started yet, but you’ve lost your confidence at all!”
Su Li frowned slightly and blamed coldly.
Xuan An shook his head and sighed, “Sister, don’t blame them. You don’t know that the disciples of holy sects who partic.i.p.ate in the Tianjiao Battle this time are different from the previous.”
Su Li raised her eyebrows and did not speak. Xuan An continued, “The disciples of the holy sects under the 2000-year-old limit in the past years could rarely reach the early stage of Huashen Realm! But this time… not to mention the early stage of Huashen Realm, there are so many pract.i.tioners who are even in the middle and late stages of it. I heard that the four people of the top holy sects have broken through Huashen Realm, and they are in nature’s test now! If they were in normal holy sects, they would already be the elders!”
“Is the rumor I heard true?”
Ying Qiao’er opened her mouth slightly, and exclaimed in a low voice, “When I was in the teahouse with my senior fellow apprentices, I heard someone say that those who partic.i.p.ated in the b.l.o.o.d.y Accident of Holy Spirit have faintly broken a certain shackle in their bodies, so they practice so quickly like prodigies! It’s amazing that they are in the nature’s test under the age of 2, 000!”
As soon as she said that, Yan Ziye and the others immediately looked at each other. Their cultivation progress was also very fast. The rumor that Ying Qiao’er heard might be true. The influence left by the Reincarnation Mirror helped them.
Su Li narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment. Then without mentioning the b.l.o.o.d.y Accident of Holy Spirit, she said, “Since we have come, let’s stay and enjoy it. You do your best, but the first thing is to be alive. Understand? Especially, you. Xuan An.”
Seeing Su Li’s eyes, Xuan An shrank his neck and said, “Sister, don’t worry. I won’t risk my life. We can give up before entering each test. And I will give up after the second test for just seeing the ranking of my cultivation. There are a lot people who come here to join in the fun like me.”
Su Li nodded slightly, and then turned to look at Jiang Run, “Go on.”
“OK.”
Jiang Run’s tone was unhurried and organized. He quickly shared what he had heard with everyone. Not long after he finished speaking, there was a sudden vibration in the vortex behind the Tianxing Tablet, and then it turned quickly.
“TheMysterious Realmof Tianjiao Battle is open!”
Instantly, everyone stopped everything in their hands and rushed into the vortex immediately. No one knew when the vortex would close. If someone missed the Tianjiao Battle because of hesitation, he or she would regret it for the whole life.
“Let’s set off, too! What Jiang Run said just now can only be used as a reference. You should be careful! Go!”
Everyone dashed out without saying a word. Tens of thousands of geniuses in Qingshui Circle turned into turbulent flow, scrambling to join in the battle. The scene was spectacular and cruel. When some people with low cultivation fell down, they were trampled into blood mist in the blink of an eye by countless pract.i.tioners behind them!
Su Li’s expression did not change, but a light flashed in her eyes. She immediately ordered,
“Ziye and Ling Qinglan, you two go at the forefront, leaving a way out for Xuan An and the others.”
Yan Ziye knew the background of Xuan An and the others, so he took the lead without saying anything.
A strange thought flashed in Jiang Run’s heart. Even if this group of people were the old acquaintances of Lord Qingshui, they were too obedient.
But at this moment, he didn’t have time to think much about it and rushed into the vortex.
After the darkness, all the hustle and bustle turned into extreme tranquility.
Opening her eyes, Su Li found that she was alone. Standing in front of the giant ancient tablet, she was surrounded by chaos and unable to see the anything.
“It seems that everyone has been separated and tested individually.”
Su Li turned to look at the stone tablet. According to Black Lotus’s knowledge, the stone tablet contained a complete piece of scripture. Although the content of the scripture was left on the ancient tablet, the name and the general outline of it were erased. She could just see the blurred trace.
“Look at this scripture and recite it while touching the tablet. If you don’t have inner demons, you will be one of Human Clan. Otherwise, your body will be destroyed, and your soul will be shattered!”
Seeing the last paragraph of the scripture, Su Li narrowed her eyes and immediately put her palm on the ancient tablet without hesitation.
In an instant, the golden flash of the ancient tablet rose sharply and profusely. Then countless golden words jumped out of the ancient tablet, standing in the air!
Su Li’s eyes contained golden flash, and her vermilion lips were lightly open. The content of scripture came out from her mouth loudly and decently.
Every time she uttered a paragraph, a line of golden scripture from the air sank into her body by itself. The scripture ran inside her body from the beginning to the end, as if it was looking for something.
At this moment, Su Li was instantly keyed up!
Although she treated herself as one of Human Clan, she had the characteristics of Ghost Clan. Would this scripture let her go?
Su Li was ready to withdraw her palm when it was about to touch the Black Lotus Throne in her pubic region. But at this moment, the two originally tranquil Divine Thunder suddenly triggered, dragged the golden words over, and then swallowed them!
Drone!!
The void trembled, and the originally quiet ancient tablet violently shook. Then…more scripture was spewed out!
At the same time, the original words on the ancient tablet disappeared and were replaced by another line of words.
“At the beginning of l.u.s.tration, all evil retreats. It is good luck to Human Clan. I’m willing to do you a favor with my Buddhist relics…”
Su Li had no time to take a closer look at the following handwriting. Although the energy surging from the scripture was gentle, it was too large for her, and she had to concentrate on absorbing it.
None knew how long it had pa.s.sed. The golden flash on the stone tablet dimed, and its energy subsided.
Su Li opened her eyes, and the bright light of Buddha flashed in her eyes. The energy was very gentle. Although she couldn’t refine it immediately, it was easy to suppress it.
“I only heard about the Buddhism relics from Black Lotus. It’s the supreme treasure for cultivation of Human Clan in the ancient times. I didn’t expect to possess it.”
Su Li sighed inwardly. The line of handwriting on the stone tablet had disappeared, and the original scripture reappeared. But under the scripture, a line was left empty.
“Cultivation: the perfection phase of Yuanying Realm; ranking: not yet determined.”
Under this line of information, there was a blank groove. Since Jiang Run mentioned it, Su Li knew what to do. She took out a white and flawless blank jade slip.
The jade slip was specially made by Tianyake Attic and distributed to all young talents who partic.i.p.ated in the Tianjiao Battle. The jade slip could reveal their names on the Tianjiao List and divide their sects. It was also the key for all talents to become world-famous!
Su Li gently put the jade slip into the groove, and her lips slightly curled up. A faint voice sounded, like a stone thrown on a calm lake with ripples.
“I am from Ni Sect, Su Jiuzhou!”
Just as Su Li spoke her ident.i.ty, in one of the numerous s.p.a.ces with stone tablets, Ling Li looked at the scripture on the stone tablet in front of him with indifferent eyes.
“Ling Li, don’t forget your innate mission. As the Tablet Keeper, you are destined to give everything to Ling Family forever. Even if it is your life, you must give away that without hesitation!
And I, Ling Xian, am the only daughter of my father, the young master of Shengtian Shrine and even the Fate Ancestor in the future! According to the destiny, you…must obey me. Otherwise, no one could protect my wild nephew, even if he hides in the Yin and Yang Region. As for my master, destroying a region is just a piece of cake. You know that?”
The cold words that the veiled woman in the Shengtian Palace said before the journey still sounded in his ears. Then Ling Li took a deep breath. The killing intent in his eyes faded. He took out a jade slip and put it into the groove.
It seemed that he hadn’t spoken for a long time. His slightly hoa.r.s.e voice echoed in the air.
“Fate Palace, Ling Li!”
Then the jade slip in the groove flashed with white light. It melted into the stone tablet and disappeared.
At the same time, Ling Xian, who was in the Fate Palace, saw the black jade slip hanging in the middle of the main hall bursting with dazzling light. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile that would enchant the world appeared on her perfect and exquisite face. Somehow this smile was perfect but made people feel a little uncomfortable.
She turned around, bowed to the shadow above the hall and smiled,
“Master, it’s done. I know that my good-for-nothing brother is cold-blooded and ruthless externally, but he really cares about that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Even if he is the only one in our Fate Palace to partic.i.p.ate in the battle, he would make us be rated as a holy sect. But Master… I don’t understand. Our Fate Palace has always been low-key. Is it too reckless?”
The figure concealed in the shadow made a chuckle. It fell silent for a moment. Instead of making an answer, it posed another question, “Since you did it, the luck of Shengtian Shrine would inevitably decrease. Aren’t you afraid of your father’s rage and his blame on you?”
“Master, please don’t tease me!”
Ling Xian’s beautiful eyes sparkled with light and showed her ambition. She said, “I am the only discipleof you. The Fate Palace must be charged by me in the future. So must the Shengtian Shrine! In my opinion, the Fate Palace and the Shengtian Shrine both are my force, and their luck all converge on me. Is there any difference?”
If she said it in an ordinary sect, it would be a monstrous crime, but Fate Ancestor in the shadow actually smiled happily after hearing it.
“What a good girl. I chose the right person!”
