I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.

Chapter 503: 383 Xuanming’s Fall (Don’t Raise Book)_2

Looking at the place he had cleaved open, Chen Yuan’s Gang Qi surged out from within him, enveloping his body.

Then, he dove headfirst into the pit below.

Inside the mound was a huge cave, with faint formation patterns carved onto the ground. Touching them with his hand, Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened, recognizing the patterns as those of a large Gathering Essence Array.

Could it be…..

Was this the reason why the Qi in this secret realm was so thin?

His gaze indifferent, Chen Yuan continued forward. Because he had opened a huge crack, the cave was not dark but rather brightly lit.

After merely a hundred breaths-worth of time, Chen Yuan stopped in his tracks.

What appeared before him was a massive altar with nine tiers of stairs made from greenstone and inscribed with ancient and mysterious formation patterns.

Atop the altar was an extremely thin Spirit Pool, in which a lotus emitting a mystical glow was in full bloom.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy of the surroundings was all converging towards this Spirit Pool.

“This is….”

Chen Yuan frowned, feeling that the Divine Lotus seemed familiar, but he could not remember at the moment.

However, the Qing-colored light bursting from his eyes proved that this was his chance.

“Xuanming, isn’t it time to show yourself?”

Without making a move, Chen Yuan calmly spoke these words.

All was silent around him, and frowning, Chen Yuan said:

“Must I really ask you to appear?”

“Amitabha.”

A faint Buddhist chant rang out, and Xuanming, dressed in a plain white monk’s robe, slowly emerged from the cave wall behind Chen Yuan, his gaze fixed on him as he said:

“I did not expect Benefactor Chen to have Pupil Skill.”

Chen Yuan did not respond. From the moment he had entered the cave, he had sensed an elusive yet dangerous aura surrounding him, and his perception had always been very keen.

And within this part of the cave, that aura was even more formidable.

One did not need to think twice to know that Xuanming must be here!

Seeing Chen Yuan remain silent, Xuanming smiled faintly, not taking offense, his gaze fixed on the swaying lotus on the altar as he said:

“I never expected that the thin Primordial Energy in this secret realm was due to the tribute to a God Transformation Lotus.”

“God Transformation Lotus!”

When Chen Yuan heard Xuanming muttering to himself, his eyes suddenly lit up, finally recalling what the object was; he had come across some information about Spiritual Objects while cultivating in Qingzhou City.

In his view, the treasures guided by the Qi Fortune Altar were mostly Spiritual Objects, and it was always prudent to understand them in detail.

The God Transformation Lotus he mentioned was one of them.

Its main function was to nourish the Divine Soul, enhance the ‘divine’, and was a rare Spiritual Object in Jianghu, beneficial even for those at the Yang Transformation phase.

It also had some effect on Core Formation.

This item was a must-have for him!

Xuanming shifted his gaze to Chen Yuan and said:

“Benefactor Chen, this object is destined to be with this poor monk, I hope you can graciously step aside.”

“It seems to me that you’ve cultivated your Buddhism until it has confused you. Since ancient times, treasures belong to those with virtue. Coincidentally, I, Chen Yuan, have a character that stands for virtue. If anyone should step aside,

it should be you who considers doing so. If you do not wish to, then it’s only right that we determine the victor between us!”

Chen Yuan’s expression turned somber, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Monks, they truly were bothersome.

“As you wish.”

Xuanming’s gaze turned icy, and in the next moment, he stepped forward, unleashing a terrifying Fist Power.

Chen Yuan responded in kind.

Their fists collided with a muffled boom.

The surrounding cave trembled slightly, and rocks fell.

However, both of them consciously avoided the God Transformation Lotus and took their battle to mid-air.

Sword Light swept across the sky, accompanied by the roar of a dragon.

Because the Primordial Energy was sparse, the noise caused by their fight was also significantly reduced.

Xuanming tore off a string of Buddha Beads from around his neck and flung them forcefully.

The eighteen Buddha Beads were hurled towards Chen Yuan with a thunderous impact.

A punch, two punches, three punches…

Each Fist Power struck the Buddha Beads.

With one hand holding a Bowl and the other joined in a gesture, Xuanming chanted a Buddhist mantra.

“Om, Mani, Padme, Hum.”

The sound, like a great bell, rang from his lips, as if Buddha himself was whispering.

Brilliant golden light surged in the void as the eighteen Buddha Beads solidified into an Arhat Illusion nearly thirty feet tall in mid-air. The Arhat’s face was indistinct,

yet its demeanour solemn as if one from a temple shrine.

As the Illusion stood in the void, its posture mirrored Xuanming’s.

“Benefactor Chen, it is the heavens’ decree to cherish life. If you are willing to step back now, this poor monk can cease his actions.”

Chen Yuan grinned and said:

“There’s an old saying, if you’re going to help someone, help them all the way, even if it means sending the Buddha to the West. Today, I, Chen Yuan, will send you on your way.”

Immediately after, a powerful aura of fierce evil coiled around Chen Yuan, who gripped the Emperor Slaughter Saber and made a swift slash.

‘Endless Killing Path!’

This Saber Technique, which Chen Yuan had been cultivating until he obtained the Emperor Slaughter Saber, was finally unleashed to its full might as the Sword Intent matched perfectly with the ferocity of the saber.

It could exert power beyond a hundred and twenty percent.

A Sword Light tens of meters across appeared in the void, slashing down fiercely.

Xuanming’s expression became grave as he raised his palm, and the Arhat Illusion behind him did the same, pressing down forcefully.

“Boom!”

The Sword Light cut across the Arhat Illusion.

Inch by inch, it crumbled…

Both Sword Light and the Illusion shattered, their faces turning crimson for a moment, then the Buddha Illusion reformed, and the Sword Light struck again!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
