Chapter 253 The Three-Year Period Has Arrived

“Master Bai Mei, your open favoritism towards the demonic outsiders is unacceptable. As a member of the righteous path, I will not stand idly by. I urge you to see the gravity of this situation clearly and distinguish right from wrong!”
Wu Hou said from the side, strongly hinting that the old monk should not muddy the waters since they all were at the Great Crossing Realm, and initiating a fight would benefit no one.
“Amitabha, this old monk cannot stay silent as you all stray further and further onto the wrong path. Today, no one will lay a hand on these young ones!”
Bai Mei’s expression darkened, and an intangible might swept out, with the sound of thunder rolling in the void once again.
“Very well, Bai Mei, by openly protecting those demonic beings, you no longer have a place in the Western Desert. Benefactor Wu, since Master Bai Mei is this old monk’s younger fellow disciple, it wouldn’t be proper for me to act against him. I implore you to assist me so that I might deal with these demon path witches,” said the Thousand Buddha’s Child.
“Hold on, since Abbot Master and Master Bai Mei are from the same sect, this is a domestic affair of the Western Desert. As an outsider, it is inconvenient for me to intervene. Leave these youngsters to me, and the Abbot can focus on dealing with Master Bai Mei!”
Wu Hou spoke indifferently, internally cursing the old bald donkey from the Thousand Buddha Temple for his worthlessness.
These official words were all talk, but what he really wanted was to personally apprehend the Demonic Woman and Liu Jinshui first, to seize their resources, didn’t he?
Pretending to be virtuous!
There was a moment of silence in the arena, then Thousand Buddha’s Child slowly spoke, “Since that’s the case, today this old monk will clean house. It’s also a good opportunity to see what progress my younger brother has made after all these years.”
Inside the Thousand Buddha Temple, golden light shone brilliantly as a Buddha manifested in the void, soaring into the sky, emitting a radiance so bright that it hurt to look at.
From Li Xiaobai’s perspective, he could only see the feet of this Buddha, with everything else obscured by the clouds. He took out a pair of sunglasses from the mall, a System product that gave him outstanding vision, almost like having clairvoyant eyes, and he easily saw the full appearance of the Buddha.
It was a colossal golden Buddha with two faces, representing good and evil. One face was kind and benevolent, while the other was extremely ferocious, as if choosing someone to devour, both eyes staring straight at Monk Bai Mei.
The golden Buddha soared into the sky, and even the eagles flying high were no higher than its ankles. Its size was so immense it was beyond belief.
Li Xiaobai felt that not just the Western Desert, but at this moment on the Immortal Spirit Continent, there was likely no one who couldn’t see this giant Buddha. Such was the battle between Great Crossing Realm Cultivators, a clash between the top experts of the Mainland. After this fight, it would surely shake the Immortal Spirit Continent.
“Amitabha, elder brother, the Two-faced Buddha is not right. Over the years, it seems you’ve really gone astray,” Monk Bai Mei said, shaking his head lightly.
A golden light shot into the sky behind Monk Bai Mei as well, with an immeasurably large Buddha standing tall, facing the Two-faced Buddha from afar.
Li Xiaobai looked up and saw Monk Bai Mei’s Buddha was no less impressive than the one above the Thousand Buddha Temple, and it even had four faces, representing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. It was actually a Four-faced Buddha!
Simply in terms of number, it had two more faces than the Two-faced Buddha.
This old monk was also a formidable character. Yu Sanbian actually knew such a high-level expert.
“Brother Yu, what’s the story with this old monk? How did you come to be acquainted with such a powerful figure?”
Li Xiaobai tugged at Yu Sanbian’s sleeve beside him.
“Three years ago, while I was in the Western Desert pursuing the Mind-comprehending Method, I met a great master by chance. He taught me the Closed-eye Meditation to cultivate my mind. At the time, I felt that the master was extraordinary, but I never expected he would be an expert of this caliber!”
Yu Sanbian looked at the slightly stooped old monk with eyes full of respect and excitement.
Over the years, he had doubted more than once whether the Closed-eye Meditation was truly worth the effort he had put into it, for to pursue it, he had even allowed his cultivation level to stagnate considerably.
If that hadn’t been the case, he might now be a young hero of the same caliber as Monk Liaowang.
But now, looking back, the monk was indeed sincere in his words. The Closed-eye Meditation technique personally imparted by a Great Crossing Realm Expert was positively earth-shattering and moving enough to make ghosts and gods weep!
“So that’s how it is, Brother Yu is also a man of great opportunity.”
Li Xiaobai nodded, aware of Yu Sanbian’s practice of Closed-eye Meditation in the Western Desert. Since he had known him, the fellow had yet to open his eyes.
“Hehe, Master Abbot has taken great pains, these youngsters will be captured by this old man immediately!”
Wu Hou said with a laugh, knowing that if he could be the first to obtain the resources from the Demonic Woman and Li Xiaobai, he would have the upper hand. How the loot was divided would then be his decision.
“Benefactors, one cannot forcibly contend with a Great Crossing Realm Expert. This monk will escort you a great distance with speed,” Monk Liaowang glanced at Wu Hou in front and then addressed the group.
“I’ll listen to you,” Su Mei’er said.
“Monk, there’s no need for that. I have a strategy in mind to defeat the enemy,” Yu Sanbian said confidently, thumping his chest.
“Brother Yu, do you have an ingenious plan?”
Li Xiaobai felt a bad premonition rising in his heart. He was all too familiar with Yu Sanbian’s current demeanor. It was the typical sign of someone getting carried away.
One must know, even with the System within himself, facing a Great Crossing Realm cultivator only meant one could run. Yu Sanbian was merely at the Nascent Soul Stage and yet dared to make such outrageous claims. Li Xiaobai felt the other man must be either drunk or foolish.
“Do you still remember that I said I have always been practicing Closed-eye Meditation?”
“That day, Master Bai Mei once said, ‘Closed-eye Meditation, for a period of three years. After three years, when one’s eyes reopen, the mountains and rivers shall shatter before me, and the heavens and earth shall dim because of me, this is the Fiery Golden Eyes!'”
“Now that the three-year period has ended, it is time to display my true strength!”
Yu Sanbian’s face was flushed with excitement, and he appeared very agitated. Three years had passed, and to open his eyes for the first time at such a momentous occasion made him feel that his years of effort hadn’t been in vain. He finally had an opportunity to use his abilities.
“Cough cough, Brother Yu, while you may have achieved Closed-eye Meditation, your cultivation level is still merely at the Nascent Soul Stage. I’m afraid the power of the Fiery Golden Eyes might not be as formidable as you wish. Let’s still follow Monk Liaowang and get out of here,” Li Xiaobai said, feeling a cringe coming on. Yu Sanbian must have lost his mind to believe a story that could fool a three-year-old.
Monk Liaowang and Su Mei’er also nodded, agreeing with Li Xiaobai’s suggestion. For someone at the Nascent Soul Stage to hard clash with a Great Crossing Realm was a bit too far-fetched.
Turning to look at Monk Bai Mei who was beside them, he too had heard Yu Sanbian’s words. His hands continuously stroked his white eyebrows, evidently attempting to calm his emotions. There was no denying, this old monk was definitely setting up Yu Sanbian.
“Hehe, Brother Li, even though you are a chosen one, there are some things that evidently you do not know. In the world of cultivation, one cannot always equate the level of cultivation with heroism. Three hundred years ago, the Wine Sword Immortal ascended to the Upper Realm after overpowering a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert without falling short, while merely being at the Golden Core Stage.”
“He did so with his painstakingly honed Sword Intent, not his cultivation level. That year, he was only fifteen years old.”
“The Wine Sword Immortal remained true to the sword throughout his life, repelling enemies with his will. This Closed-eye Meditation of mine also shares a similar miraculous trait. While others spend ten years perfecting a single sword technique, I have spent three years perfecting my vision!”
“Now that the three-year period has come to an end, how can I continue to remain low-profile and hidden? Today’s battle is the moment for me, Yu Sanbian from the northwest, to surpass my predecessors and become renowned throughout the world!”
