Chapter 751: Chapter 147: Mortal Demon Domain, Twin Buddha Children

Chi Guang had not anticipated that his attempt to lay low would be taken seriously by someone.

“*It seems this time, there’s no way to keep a low profile…*”

The cold glint in Chi Guang’s eyes flickered as he recalled what his master had said about the demon statue of the twin Buddha Children, the fires of battle burning intensely in his gaze.

Meanwhile, as the battle for supremacy loomed, within the Flower Travel Association.

The Ye Ancestor and Green Ancestor, among others, sent a message to Li Hao, informing him that they were about to arrive in the Canglan Realm to support and watch over him during the battle.

Qing Jiu, upon hearing the news, feigned innocence and said, “Isn’t anyone coming to see me?”

“You’ve got your master backing you up, what need do you have for us? Qingfeng is the one who’s all alone.”

The Ye Ancestor replied in a disgruntled tone.

“Exactly, what, do you want us to watch you try to show off?” The Green Ancestor was even more direct.

Qing Jiu, feeling helpless, said, “You’re really making me feel left out, though.”

“Still in the mood to chatter here, I see you can’t wait to get your hands moving.” Green Ancestor remarked.

Qing Jiu: ʘᴗʘ

Upon learning that the Ye Ancestor and others were coming, Li Hao sent a message to Zhan Tan, asking her to help with their reception.

Zhan Tan assured Li Hao to focus solely on preparing for the battle and not to get distracted by these matters.

Earlier, while discussing the Artistic Path with Li Hao, she already felt it was taking up some of his time. Now, with the impending battle, she too had received some news that many Heavenly Prides, under pressure, had breakthroughs on the eve of the battle, raising their powers to a new level that could potentially threaten Li Hao.

As the date of the battle approached, Emperor Canghai also found Li Hao, Chi Guang, Su Yun, and others, asking if they needed any assistance, be it weapons or a Divine Pill.

Su Yun mentioned needing a Condensation Dao Pill, while Chi Guang stated he needed nothing, and Li Hao did the same.

“If you can secure a spot to represent the Canglan Realm in battle, you will receive the blessings of the Canglan Realm’s incense fire, though how much depends on your performance in the showdown.” Emperor Canghai said.

He held great expectations for both Li Hao and Chi Guang, having initially placed his heavy bets on Chi Guang, believing he would undoubtedly secure a top ten spot. However, Li Hao’s recent performance had delighted him even more. If both could represent the Canglan Realm in battle, the Canghai Divine Dynasty would receive two portions of Dragon Energy!

This was the Heavenly Dao’s gift to the Canglan Realm, and these two portions of Dragon Energy could stabilize the Canghai Divine Dynasty’s domain, with hopes that the Imperial Family could either witness the birth of a prodigious saintly figure or absorb it themselves to practice the Emperor’s Path to becoming a Saint.

Saints each formed their own schools, like the Sword Saint, Literary Saint, Buddhist Daoist Saint, etc. If a Divine Dynasty’s emperor wished to become a Saint, they would follow the Emperor’s Path, which required the accumulation of Dragon Energy.

On the eve of the grand battle, the Three Great Sacred Lands and dozens of dynasties were abuzz, with even those Heavenly Prides who didn’t make the cut eagerly anticipating this Canglan Realm’s pinnacle battle of Heavenly Prides.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and the quota battle was set to take place within the Buddhist Holy Land.

Since the emergence of the Supreme Genius Battle, the selection site for this Canglan Realm’s quota battle had been alternated among the Three Great Sacred Lands.

This provided an opportunity to showcase the splendor of the Sacred Lands and attract numerous Heavenly Prides from different Divine Dynasties, and this time, it happened to be the Buddhist Holy Land’s turn.

Li Hao, Chi Guang, and other top ten contestants from the Divine Dynasty followed the Imperial Family to the Buddhist Holy Land.

From a distance outside the Buddhist Holy Land, they could see the towering Sacred Peak reaching the heavens, auspicious clouds filling the sky, and Buddhist light shining as if the sun had descended upon the Sacred Peak, transforming into a treasure bead radiating myriad Buddhas’ light.

Upon stepping into the Buddhist domain, the faint sound of pious Buddhist chants could be heard.

Compared to participants like Li Hao, those merely coming to watch had arrived a day earlier, relying on connections to secure a front-row view.

At the base of the Buddhist Holy Land’s mountain, two enormous beasts resembling golden lions lay prostrate, emanating the aura of the Half-Saint Realm. Though they appeared like golden lions, astute observers could discern that they were ancient Demon Kings hiding their true forms.

Half-Saint Buddhist Beasts guarded the mountain’s entrance, with monks along the path steps offering a grand display of Buddhist light and treasure aura.

“Is this the Buddhist Holy Land?”

“*So solemn and reverent, it makes me instinctively lower my voice.*”

“*So many Buddhist Beasts, look, they’re using Buddhist Beasts as mounts—isn’t that a Half-Saint Buddhist Beast?*”

The crowd buzzed with chatter.

At the Sacred Peak Top, vast and open, forces from all sides gathered. Among them, hundreds of princes and princesses were common, and there were even those who were heirs of ancient Martial Arts Families or the direct line heirs of noble families—all with significant backgrounds. Otherwise, they could not have been there in person, only able to gaze upon the event through a Boundary Stone from afar.

Aside from those with influential backgrounds, there were numerous Heavenly Prides grouped together, creating a formidable presence.

Yet, in front of the masses, there was a notable presence of half-saint Buddhist figures displaying their majestic forms, towering over a hundred feet high. Among the several hundred thousand gathered at the peak, they were extremely conspicuous.

Their mounts were also massive and imposing, fearsome in aura, astonishingly existing at the Half-Saint Realm.

There were Green Lions, Golden Haired Behemoths, White Pigs, Peacock Kings, and others, all radiating auspicious signs. However, before their subjugation, these Buddhist Beasts were undoubtedly dreadful demons that struck fear into the hearts of many.

Above the Buddha Venerate Treasure Hall, the Saint of the Buddhist Holy Land, the Thousand Worlds Buddha Honor, sat majestically and solemnly, his divine appearance akin to the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, towering a thousand feet high, visible even to those standing at the periphery of the Sacred Peak, from where his body emanated the golden light of the Buddha’s Path and an aura of auspiciousness and prosperity.

The Thousand Worlds Buddha Honor was also the leader of the Buddhist Holy Land, having overcome the Three Calamities, with one foot stepping into the Supreme Saint Realm.

Rumor had it that he had transformed and cultivated through a thousand lifetimes, transcending the worldly sources, life and death, fame and wealth, rights and wrongs, reaching a Great Detachment Mindset.

Within the Canglan Realm, the Buddhist Holy Land held the highest status, and this Thousand Worlds Buddha Honor was recognized as the strongest in the Canglan Realm.

Now, forces from all directions, countless Heavenly Prides, all glimpsed this mightiest figure in the Canglan Realm, their eyes filled with admiration and reverence.
