Chapter 2594 Terrifying Monk
Su Zimo looked up expressionlessly.
In the crowd of the Grand Firmament Immortal Domain, a black-robed man stood at the front of the many Perfected Immortals behind the Immortal King experts. He was tall and mighty, emitting a violent and savage aura!
The black-robed man glared at Su Zimo with a burning gaze. Suddenly, he grinned and did not conceal the hostility in his eyes!
This person looked unfamiliar and was at the Perfected One realm.
Su Zimo had never seen this person before in his memories.
Logically speaking, he should not have any grudges with the Perfected Immortals of the other Immortal Domains.
"Who is that?"
Su Zimo asked.
Yun Zhu seemed to have sensed the black-robed man"s hostility towards Su Zimo as well. "That"s Qin Ce. His strength is unfathomable and he"s a popular candidate for the Supreme Perfected Immortal this time round."
"Do you remember I mentioned something to you about the Grand Pure Jade Manual in the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual?"
Su Zimo nodded. "You said that the Grand Pure Jade Manual once landed in the hands of a Heaven Immortal in the Grand Firmament Immortal Domain…"
At that point, Su Zimo seemed to have understood something as he murmured, "Could it be…"
Yun Zhu said, "The Grand Pure Jade Manual fell into Qin Ce"s hands. However, that was tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, he was only a Heaven Immortal."
Jun Yu said, "The reason why Qin Ce was able to cultivate with such a terrifying speed to become a Paradise Void Perfected Immortal in tens of thousands of years was because of the Grand Pure Jade Manual."
"Of course, he"s a prince to begin with and has a n.o.ble status with sufficient cultivation resources."
Qin Ce was even a prince!
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
It was no wonder why this person was so domineering. Even though he knew that Su Zimo was from Heaven and Earth Academy, he did not conceal the hostility in his heart.
Su Zimo had no doubt that if he was just an itinerant cultivator, this Prince Qin Ce would even dare to s.n.a.t.c.h his Jade Pure Jade Manual in broad daylight in front of everyone!
In the upper world, without the backing of a powerful faction, it was extremely difficult for one to survive, let alone cultivate!
A long time after the Grand Firmament Immortal Domain arrived, the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain arrived.
Unlike the other eight Immortal Domains, although the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain also had Supreme Immortal Kings and ordinary Immortal Kings leading the group this time round, there were clearly much less Perfected Immortals.
The entire group added up to less than 10,000 people.
Furthermore, it was clear that there was a lack of top-tier Perfected Immortal experts in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain. Most of them were at the Convergence or Celestial Being realm.
"It"s really way too tragic for the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain this time round. There"s definitely no hope of them contending for the Perfected Immortal Ranking."
"Notwithstanding the Perfected Immortal Ranking, it"s already extremely fortunate if any Perfected Immortal of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain can be ranked in the top hundred this time round."
"After all, in that battle back then, Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain was way too domineering and violent. He killed thousands of Perfected Immortals and the masters of the five immortal cities singlehandedly, dealing a severe impact to the Perfected Immortal circle of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain. From the looks of it, they might not be able to recover without 100,000 years at the very least."
"Song Xuan and the others brought it upon themselves by kidnapping a Dao child of Desolate Martial. Who knew that Desolate Martial would be so domineering that he would disregard everything and barge into the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain alone to start a ma.s.sacre in Langfeng City!"
The moment the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain descended, the crowd discussed.
The Immortal Kings of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain had ugly expressions. They surveyed their surroundings and harrumphed coldly, emitting a powerful might to stifle the discussions around them.
After all the nine Immortal Domains of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain arrived, tens of thousands of monks from the four continents of the Pure Land of Bliss arrived at the same time.
"Did the Pure Land of Bliss produce any incredible monks this time round?" Su Zimo asked.
Yun Zhu said, "The most noteworthy person from the Pure Land of Bliss is an Arhat named s.h.i.+ Wunian."
"Most of the other Arhat experts are from the four continents. However, s.h.i.+ Wunian is from Mount Meru of the Pure Land of Bliss. It"s said that he has already obtained the supreme true inheritance of Buddhism!"
"If nothing goes wrong, s.h.i.+ Wunian should be this year"s Supreme Arhat."
Following Yun Zhu"s direction, Su Zimo"s gaze landed on a monk in the crowd.
The monk was young and held one palm upright in front of him with a string of prayer beads hanging on it. He followed behind a Heavenly King of the Buddhist monasteries with a lowered head.
From afar, s.h.i.+ Wunian was no different from the other monks and was one of the types that were difficult to discover in a crowd.
However, the moment Su Zimo"s gaze landed on that person, s.h.i.+ Wunian suddenly raised his head. A bedazzling divine light burst forth from his eyes as he looked towards Su Zimo.
"What keen senses!"
Su Zimo"s heart skipped a beat.
What was even stranger was that after the monks of the Pure Land of Bliss descended, countless gazes lingered on s.h.i.+ Wunian.
s.h.i.+ Wunian was unmoved by all of them.
When Su Zimo looked at him, he sensed something and turned back!
Just as Su Zimo was puzzled, an unfamiliar voice sounded in Su Zimo"s ears. It was warm, moderate and extremely pleasant, like Sanskrit of the Buddhist monasteries, causing one to unconsciously feel reverence.
"Patron, you have an affinity with the Buddhist monasteries and the aura of Buddhism around you is extremely pure. I hope that I will have the chance to discuss Buddhism with you."
Su Zimo looked at s.h.i.+ Wunian who was among the monks in the distance.
s.h.i.+ Wunian smiled benevolently and nodded in his direction.
"What a terrifying monk!"
s.h.i.+ Wunian"s gaze was warm and his tone seemed extremely polite. However, Su Zimo felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine!
He finally realized why s.h.i.+ Wunian noticed him.
That was because s.h.i.+ Wunian could sense the aura of Buddhism from him with just a single gaze and could tell that he was different!
Although s.h.i.+ Wunian phrased it nicely, in reality, he wanted to probe Su Zimo"s secrets!
Although this person might not have guessed that he had cultivated the Taboo Mystic Cla.s.sic of the Buddhist monasteries, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, Su Zimo was clearly targeted by him!
This monk who had the potential to become the Supreme Arhat indeed possessed phenomenal abilities.
Before the Nine Firmament Meet began, Su Zimo was already targeted by many cultivators, including Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals—they were all hostile!
Su Zimo had a calm expression.
Given his current cultivation realm, he could sweep through all other experts of the Heaven Immortal realm.
If did not matter if they were princes or princesses, everyone would be suppressed by him!
If Perfected Immortal experts like Qin Ce and s.h.i.+ Wunian were to come knocking, Su Zimo would naturally not be able to defeat them. However, it was not as though he had no way of dealing with them!
The Martial Dao Prime Body was still in seclusion in Avici and was at an important juncture of deducing the Martial Dao.
As long as the Martial Dao Prime Body came out of seclusion, he could resolve all the dangers he was facing!
The Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and Pure Land of Bliss factions were all present. Together, there were more than a hundred thousand cultivators gathered on the Builder Tree Mountain Range with a ma.s.sive might.
Most of those cultivators were experts at the Perfected Immortal realm.
On the side of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, there were 13 Supreme Immortal Kings and more than a hundred ordinary Immortal Kings!
For the Pure Land of Bliss, ten Supreme Heavenly Kings and dozens of ordinary Heavenly Kings arrived as well.
This was an unprecedented sight—it was clear how much the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and Pure Land of Bliss valued this Nine Firmament Meet!
The reason why there were so many Immortal King experts holding down the fort was to ensure that the Nine Firmament Meet could proceed smoothly without any sudden variables appearing!
As the various factions gathered, the Nine Firmament Meet officially began!
