Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 952: I’m Really Not That Strong

"This aura, why does it resemble the Buddha Flame Root?"

Ye Yun furrowed his brows while scrutinizing the yellow-robed monk with renewed focus.

This monk had also attained the First Layer of the God King Realm, matching Happy Buddha Ancestor’s cultivation level.

With a slender frame, he released a profound Buddhist aura that nearly masked the Buddha Flame Root’s subtle presence.

Despite its subtlety, Ye Yun perceived it clearly.

Noticing Ye Yun’s unfriendly expression, Happy Buddha Ancestor let out a cold snort, "Boy, how does my return disturb you? I’m only here for a quick look, and I’ll leave right away!"

"The Yinfuti you mention... is him?"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor cried out in astonishment.

"That’s right, this kid brims with malice, sharp-tongued and stubborn by nature, tough to enlighten, exactly like the fabled Yinfuti..."

Happy Buddha Ancestor drew a deep breath before speaking deliberately.

"Interesting..."

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor’s scrutinizing eyes landed on Ye Yun, scanning him thoroughly from top to bottom.

Right then, the White-clothed Saintess opened her eyes.

"Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, what do you plan to do to my guest?"

The White-clothed Saintess demanded icily.

"Nothing at all, Saintess, no need to misunderstand, hahaha!"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor opened his palms with a hearty laugh, "I’m simply curious about Yinfuti and came to see for myself..."

"You’d better not hold any malicious thoughts; he’s a guest of our Holy Buddha Sect, and until we arrive at Jade Buddha City, nobody can touch him!"

The White-clothed Saintess warned coldly.

"Fine!" Buddha Flame Old Ancestor nodded quickly, apparently unwilling to clash with the Holy Buddha Sect’s might.

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor?

Ye Yun’s pupils contracted slightly upon hearing their exchange.

It truly was the Buddha Flame Root.

This matched his earlier assessment perfectly.

Ye Yun had assumed the Buddha Flame Root lurked deep in the Divine Land, incredibly difficult to locate, but surprisingly, he met Buddha Flame Old Ancestor on the Holy Buddha Sect’s Celestial Boat.

Ye Yun blinked and grinned, saying, "Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, you’re the Buddha Flame Root, right?"

"Correct, you Yinfuti do have some insight!"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor declared with pride.

"Your Buddha Flame Root’s tendrils stretch far and wide across the Divine Land; is this your clone or your main body?"

Ye Yun inquired smilingly.

"You’re really clueless—when has Buddha Flame Old Ancestor ever revealed his true form? Nobody knows its location!"

From nearby, Happy Buddha Ancestor snorted disdainfully, his eyes full of mockery, as though ridiculing Ye Yun’s ignorance.

"So it’s just an avatar..."

A soft smile played on Ye Yun’s lips as he beckoned to Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and asked cheerfully, "You’re a great demon too, so why did you turn into a monk?"

"This old monk follows the Buddha’s path devoutly—what’s wrong with being a monk?"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor scoffed dismissively.

"Interesting..."

Ye Yun shrugged, a spark of light flickering deep in his gaze.

This Buddha Flame Root was said to be utterly savage—how could it abruptly embrace Buddhism?

Something suspicious was definitely at play.

"Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, are you planning to enlighten this Yinfuti?"

Happy Buddha Ancestor arched a brow and smiled as he asked.

"I fear the Saintess won’t grant this poor monk the chance."

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor glanced at the White-clothed Saintess with a questioning expression.

"You’d better not; after all, he’s my guest..."

The White-clothed Saintess paused briefly before turning down Buddha Flame Old Ancestor.

Previously, Happy Buddha Ancestor had nearly enlightened Yinfuti due to a careless word; if Buddha Flame Old Ancestor came purposefully now, it would embarrass her as the Holy Buddha Sect’s Saintess.

Especially since she had received invaluable favors from him.

"Very well!"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor clasped his hands, displaying a regretful expression.

"Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, you fake monk with shallow faith, how dare you try to enlighten me? Keep dreaming!"

Ye Yun burst into loud laughter.

"Kid, don’t get too cocky—even as the legendary Yinfuti, you’re not invincible. When we reach Jade Buddha City, I’ll definitely convert you!"

Anger flashed across Buddha Flame Old Ancestor’s face, but he refrained from acting, instead flicking his wide sleeves and vanishing into the void with Happy Ancestor.

Seeing the two God King experts depart, Master Hongyun finally snapped out of his daze.

Pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat, he murmured, "Heavens above, this Buddha Flame Root is terrifyingly powerful..."

In the Cangnan Continent.

Previously, a Buddha Flame Root had ensnared him, though it was only at the True God-stage.

The Buddha Flame Root standing before him now, just a single avatar, had already attained God King-stage, leaving one to wonder at the terrifying might of its true body.

Master Hongyun trembled.

In that instant, unease surged through him, his thoughts thrown into chaos.

"Saintess, what do you know about Buddha Flame Old Ancestor?"

Ye Yun turned, flashing a smile at the White-clothed Saintess as he inquired.

"I know a little..."

The White-clothed Saintess gazed at Ye Yun with curiosity, doubt flickering in her eyes.

Why is this man suddenly so curious about Buddha Flame Old Ancestor?

"He aims to enlighten me, so of course I must learn about him. If it suits the Saintess, please share..."

Ye Yun gave a faint smile.

"Buddha Flame Old Ancestor is basically an incarnation of the Buddha Flame Root, well-acquainted with the numerous sects in the Buddha Sect, profoundly skilled in the Buddhist Path. But normally, he operates solo; his power falls far short of the Three Supreme Buddha Sects..."

The White-clothed Saintess elaborated.

"With countless avatars and a true form, he ought to be immensely strong in theory—how is he no match for your Three Supreme Buddha Sects?"

Ye Yun questioned with a grin.

"This is just one avatar of the Buddha Flame Root; the others have never shown themselves, and it's unclear if they pursue the Buddhist Path, so we've never accounted for them..."

The White-clothed Saintess offered a soft smile, her expression glowing like a field of flowers in bloom.

That smile made Ye Yun tsk in wonder.

This young lady truly captivates.

Her otherworldly charm outshines even hidden orchids; no common beauty can rival her.

"For this Buddha Flame Root, even a single avatar at God King-stage—doesn't that seem rather frightening?"

Ye Yun pressed further.

"Though the Buddha Flame Root is formidable, Divine Land teems with far mightier existences; it's not yet his moment to cause chaos. Were he to truly wreak havoc, he'd have been eradicated ages ago..."

The White-clothed Saintess smiled, lips curving delicately.

Ye Yun nodded silently.

The powerhouses of Divine Land had triumphed over the Ancient Clan and Dragon Clan conflict, showcasing their extraordinary prowess.

Fierce as this Buddha Flame Root might be, it had refrained from making waves.

The fact that a God King-stage avatar could peacefully pursue the Buddhist Path said it all.

Ye Yun said nothing more.

The Celestial Boat sped onward, ripping through the void en route to Jade Buddha City.

At the same time.

In a distant region of the void, two eminent monks strode together.

They were none other than Happy Buddha Ancestor and Buddha Flame Old Ancestor.

"Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, why hold back from enlightening that Yinfuti?"

Happy Buddha Ancestor inquired.

"The Holy Buddha Sect's Buddhism reigns supreme in the Land of Thousands of Buddhas; I'm no match for them—how could I dare provoke?"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor smiled and shook his head.

"I don't buy it. Your avatar has hit God King-stage, so your true form must be even more horrifying, no? Even without it appearing, additional God King-stage avatars would command respect from Holy Buddha Sect!"

Happy Buddha Ancestor laughed lightly.

"I'm really not that strong; you're thinking too highly of me!"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor gave a wry smile.

"Jade Buddha Sect doesn't yet know another Yinfuti has emerged in this world—what if we rush this intelligence to them?"

Happy Buddha Ancestor thought for a moment before suggesting.

He appeared to crave worldly turmoil.

"Let's hold off on spreading it for now; why don't we team up, try enlightening first, and observe the outcome? Success could etch our names in eternity, with Buddhist Path insights to challenge Jade Buddha Sect!"

Buddha Flame Old Ancestor dismissed the idea with a wave, then grinned, laying bare his intentions.
