Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2526: 244: Calamity Plague (Part 3)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
The instant he laid eyes on the opponent, he grasped exactly how True Man Taiyi had reached this place, his expression turning somber right away:
“Did you plant this Pu Yan here?”
Facing him in the sky, Wang Ba remained impassive, lifting his hand leisurely to slip Pu Yan back into his sleeve.
He stated calmly:
“You might have severed causality beyond the Three Great Dharma Realms, yet the causality inside them remains untouched.”
“By chance, this individual shares a causal link with me, impossible to evade or sever, allowing my arrival here.”
Tianshang Buddha Lord’s face grew overcast:
“Is that the case? Even if you’ve slipped into this spot, so what?”
“It’s merely a matter of time.”
Wang Ba, on the other hand, offered a faint smile, his eyes glancing at the monks below who appeared completely unaware of the duo’s existence, gesturing toward them with a chuckle:
“These must be the seeds you intentionally preserved?”
“I detect no trace of those Great Bodhisattvas, just them, each brimming profoundly with Buddhist nature—definitely not from your demon spawn you disregard… It looks like you hold them in high regard?”
Though phrased as a question, his tone carried absolute conviction.
Tianshang Buddha Lord’s features flickered subtly, without a second’s delay, he swiftly formed a hand seal!
Next to Wang Ba, a massive hand seal burst through the void, smashing toward Wang Ba!
“Bang!”
Wang Ba’s form exploded apart beneath the giant hand seal in an instant!
“Silkworm Dragon Staff?!”
Tianshang Buddha Lord’s mind jolted, refusing to waver, he lightly tapped between his eyebrows with a raised hand.
The scene before him transformed immediately:
In the temple underneath, the numerous monks, especially those with modest cultivation but profound Buddhist nature, were now encircled by wisps of greenish-black mist!
And the True Man Taiyi, whom he had just demolished, now stood within the temple.
At his feet, a pink rabbit reared up on its hind legs, its nostrils twitching faintly, as countless threads of greenish-black mist swiftly extended from the rabbit’s nose to the environs…
“Plague poison?!”
Tianshang Buddha Lord’s look changed marginally, comprehending at once.
With no delay, he thrust his hand out like a bolt of lightning toward the pink rabbit.
But right then, the pink rabbit bounded away nimbly, vanishing into Wang Ba’s sleeve!
“Ninth-Tier!?”
A glint of astonishment flashed in Tianshang Buddha Lord’s eyes!
As the pink rabbit dove into the sleeve, the Chaos Green Fox sprang forth simultaneously, charging straight at Tianshang Buddha Lord!
Spotting the Chaos Green Fox, Tianshang Buddha Lord’s stare hardened, his movement halting unexpectedly; rather than press forward, he withdrew with elegant poise.
The Chaos Green Fox gnashed its fangs, crouching low on all fours, poised to pursue Tianshang Buddha Lord, yet Wang Ba softly reined it in.
It grudgingly closed its snarling jaws, though it stayed poised for action, its gaze locked intently on Tianshang Buddha Lord, primed to lunge anytime.
Wang Ba regarded Tianshang Buddha Lord steadily, whose visage was shadowed nearby, and explained:
“Buddha Lord, your discernment is sharp—these monks are indeed afflicted by plague poison, a product of the Realm Sea’s laws.”
“My plague demon is quite unique, a scarce Ninth-Tier plague demon hailing from the Realm Sea… surely the Buddha Lord comprehends this.”
“Its plague poison possesses an odd nature; even a Mahayana Cultivator, if contaminated and failing to cleanse it promptly, would trigger the Three Calamities and Six Tribulations—not to mention these regular monks. Were it not for my strict control, this plague demon would have tainted these young monks already.”
With that, he pivoted the subject.
Gesturing at the surrounding monks shrouded in greenish-black aura, oblivious to it all, he remarked approvingly:
“These are souls rich in Buddhist nature; I believe that in time, if not claiming your legacy, they are destined as the true heirs of the Supreme True Buddha.”
“For them to perish now to plague poison would be a true tragedy…”
Tianshang Buddha Lord stayed silent, glaring venomously at Wang Ba, then forced out words through gritted teeth, barely containing his fury:
“Do you want me to allow your departure?”
