Chapter 701: Five Six Four - Four Swords in Combat

"Tathagata, it’s better not to win the next battle, or the mess of Buddhism will drag you down into the abyss."

At this moment, Jiang Chen began to worry about Tathagata Buddha.

Considering the mess he left behind, if Tathagata Buddha takes over Spiritual Mountain after him, it would be like handling a bomb that could explode at any moment. Any slight mistake could shatter him to pieces.

Therefore, Jiang Chen’s desire to defeat Tathagata Buddha is not out of a craving for power in Buddhism, but out of concern for Tathagata Buddha and others!

Since he caused the problem of Buddhism, naturally he should also solve it.

Soon after, Jiang Chen’s avatar returned, bringing back the high-quality seeds researched by the Jiang family’s experts. There are mainly two types, one is rice and the other is wheat. Their yield is dozens of times that of the current seeds.

Science aside, the essence of practice is to make the impossible possible. No matter how incredible it is, as long as it’s related to practice, it will become reasonable.

The seeds have arrived, and from now on, the disciples of Buddhism have a new task to promote these seeds and replace the current crops of the Xiniuhe Continent.

Fortunately, this is Xiniuhe Continent, where the faith in Buddhism has taken root in people’s hearts. People do not doubt the disciples of Buddhism and will do whatever they are told.

If it were in the Nanbuzhan Continent, more persuasion would be needed to convince the people that these new crops are better than what they used to use. Otherwise, even if Jiang Chen gave them these seeds for free, they wouldn’t want to plant them.

Farming is no trivial matter, it relates to the basis of survival. Seeds can’t just be replaced on a whim, can they?

...

...

Jiang Chen has done what should be done. All that’s left is to wait patiently for the results.

In as little as a few years or as much as ten years, the results of Jiang Chen’s plan today will begin to show. By then, he will be able to know whether the completion of the grand wish will give a boost to the Great Wish Technique.

Time slowly passed. After an unknown period of time, Jiang Chen furrowed his eyebrows and opened his eyes to look towards the outside of the Spiritual Mountain.

"Who’s there?"

Just now, in his perception, a strange aura suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the Spiritual Mountain. This discovery made Jiang Chen vigilant.

Considering the current situation of Spiritual Mountain, any strangers who appear are far more likely to be enemies than friends.

As Jiang Chen was on guard, an ugly man with twin swords on his back emerged from the void.

Jiang Chen recognized this man. He was the spokesperson of the Ancestor of the Underworld River, the Innate Dao Sovereign Blood Luo of the Asura race. Not long ago, it was this Luo who held the Yuan Tu and Abi twin swords and killed Medicine Master Liuli Guang Tathagata.

Jiang Chen had a deep impression of him, not because he killed Medicine Master Liuli Guang Tathagata, but because he was too distinctive, incredibly ugly.

The Asura race is quite peculiar. The men are extremely ugly, while the women are stunningly beautiful. And as their strength grows, this disparity becomes even more pronounced.

It has been said that one can judge an Asura’s strength by their appearance. The uglier the male Asura, the stronger he is. The more beautiful the female Asura, the more terrifying her cultivation.

The opposite is also true!

Of course, Medicine Master Liuli Guang Tathagata was an exception. The former tribal chief of the Asura race is the most special existence in the Asura race. He was not only not ugly but extremely handsome.

It was his uniqueness that destined him for greatness. He has been celebrated as the Ancestor of the Underworld River’s most perfect creation, the greatest Asura.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen looked at the Blood Luo before him and couldn’t help but ask, "Blood Luo, why have you come to Spiritual Mountain instead of going back to the Netherworld?"

"Could it be that you want me to let go of those imprisoned Asura clansmen?"

Blood Luo is a follower of the Ancestor of the Underworld River’s, so naturally, he’s not Jiang Chen’s enemy. His sudden arrival made Jiang Chen think and he felt that the only thing related to Blood Luo was probably the Asura clansmen captured by the masters of the Mystic Sect.

All the Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain are dead, so naturally, the Eight Departments of Buddhism could not escape their fate either. They were not dead, but their situation was worse than death. They were all captured alive by the masters of the Mystic Sect and then given to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen thought that Blood Luo’s purpose of coming here was for those Asura clansmen, and his tone was somewhat cold.

In all honesty, Blood Luo didn’t hold the qualifications to make Jiang Chen give up what he already had. It would have been a different story if the Ancestor of the Underworld River himself came.

However, this time Jiang Chen misunderstood. Blood Luo’s arrival had nothing to do with the Asura clansmen of Buddhism.

Hearing Jiang Chen mention the Asura clan of Buddhism, Blood Luo replied with a contemptuous tone: "Brother Jiang, you misunderstand. I have nothing to do with these traitors."

"Since they followed the traitor Poxun and pledged allegiance to Buddhism, they have no longer been members of the Asura clan, but enemies of the Asura clan."

"It was their luck to fall into Brother Jiang’s hands. If they had fallen into my hands, I would throw them into the Sea of Blood to let their flesh become nourishment for the Sea of Blood. "

It is clear that Blood Luo wasn’t joking; he really wants to have those traitors eaten alive.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen suddenly understood why Blood Luo would be like this. After those traitors pledged allegiance to Buddhism, although their status was not high, their lives were not bad, and they could even legally eat humans and do evil.

The natural rulers of the Asura Clan, however, could only cower in the corners of the Three Realms, fighting to survive a life where tomorrow was not guaranteed.

This contrast made their hatred surge, and they naturally wanted to butcher those traitors alive.

Jiang Chen didn’t have time to understand the friction among the Asura Clan and asked directly, "Since it’s not for them, why are you here anyway?"

There’s no such thing as an unwelcome guest, If Xueluo came to the Spiritual Mountain, it must be for a reason.

Jiang Chen’s attitude was neither cold nor warm, and Xueluo, with his stern face, showed no emotion either, but he started to move, untying the twin swords from his back.

Those swords, naturally, were Yuan Tu and Abi.

When Xueluo unsheathed his swords, Jiang Chen wasn’t scared and maintained a nonchalant demeanor.

Even though Yuan Tu and Abi were strong, this place was the Spiritual Mountain, Jiang Chen’s turf. He didn’t believe Xueluo would dare to draw his sword against him here.

After a deep gaze at these swords, Xueluo held them up, lifting them high above his head, and he said to Jiang Chen, "Asura believer, Xueluo, on the orders of the Master, presents the twin swords, Yuan Tu and Abi, to Brother Jiang."

Looking at the Yuan Tu and Abi in Xueluo’s hands, Jiang Chen was truly shocked. These two swords were the lifelines of the Underworld River Ancestor, and he trusts him just like that?

Jiang Chen, puzzled, couldn’t help but ask, "What is the Ancestor implying? Why does he hand over Yuan Tu and Abi to me for no particular reason?"

Xueluo also didn’t know the reason. He was perplexed, but he dared not disobey the Ancestor’s command. He simply replied, "I don’t know either, but the Ancestor said, as soon as you see the swords, you’ll understand."

As soon as I see the swords, I’ll understand?

A thought crossed his mind, and Jiang Chen was inclined to guess, it probably had something to do with the Taichu and Dutian swords.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen took the twin swords, Yuan Tu and Abi, from Xueluo’s hands for a closer look.

Suddenly, a torrent of killing intent swept over him, mutating into a sea of blood and mountains of corpses right in front of Jiang Chen’s eyes. It fiercely assaulted his mind, intending to transform him into a mindless sword-slave driven only by the desire to kill.

Inside Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, his unbeatable Martial Dao intent gently quivered and shattered the innate killing intent that washed over him.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, "What vicious swords."

The murderous intent radiating from these swords was unparalleled in Jiang’s experience, even the four slaying fairy swords were no match.

All one could say was, it’s no wonder they were the supreme slaying swords born out of the murderous intent of Heaven and Earth. Just the naturally dispersed murderous intent was enough to shake the heart-minds of Innate Dao Sovereigns.

No wonder even the Medicine Master Liuli Buddha, a quasi-saint level master, had difficulty resisting the power of these swords.

After carefully examining the swords from top to bottom, Jiang Chen finally grasped why the Underworld River Ancestor had given them to him.

On the twin swords, the Taichu and Dutian sword auras hadn’t yet disappeared. The implication by the Underworld River Ancestor was undoubtedly for Jiang Chen to continue refining the Yuan Tu and Abi swords with the power of the Taichu and Dutian swords, hoping to further increase their power.

This request was one Jiang Chen could never refuse.

All four swords would benefit from cross-validation. As the quality of the Yuan Tu and Abi swords improved, the flaws in the Taichu and Dutian swords would be mended. It was a win-win situation, and there was no reason for Jiang Chen to refuse.

Having put away the twin swords, Jiang Chen said to Xueluo, "I’ve understood the Ancestor’s intentions. I will take the twin swords Yuan Tu and Abi for now. When the time is right, I will return them to the Ancestor."

With the delivery completed, Xueluo did not linger and directly took his leave, saying, "I have fulfilled the Ancestor’s command, and I don’t want to bother Brother Jiang anymore. I’ll bid you farewell!"

Having said that, before Jiang Chen could respond, Xueluo concealed himself within the void and disappeared without a trace, leaving no indication of where he had gone.

The location of the Asura Clan must be incredibly secretive, possibly not even within the Three Realms. Otherwise, the Buddhist door wouldn’t have been searching for so many years without finding a trace.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t intend to uncover the location of the Asura Clan. Instead, he focused all his attention on the four innate slaying swords by his side.

Yuan Tu, Abi, Taichu, Dutian!

Each of these four innate slaying swords were top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures. Individually, none of them were inferior to the four slaying fairy swords. Of course, when it came to four vs four, that was a different story.

The four slaying fairy swords were of the same origin. The power of the four swords combined wasn’t as simple as adding one plus one plus one plus one. It was exponentially stronger! And if one were to add the Array Map to them, their power would be top-tier even amongst the Innate Treasures.

Releasing his divine sense, Jiang Chen found a desolate void and at the same time lifted all four swords, thrusting them into it.

Bang!

The next moment, a terrifying sword intent erupted, tearing the void into fragments. And then, amidst the void that had completely turned into nothingness, the four swords began to clash, each taking its turn.

One sword attack from me, one from you.

Each of the four swords was out for itself, without any concept of alliance. Every sword strike was ruthless, carrying strong intent to shatter the others.

And amid these countless clashes, the sword intents emitted by the four swords gradually became purer and stronger.
