Chapter 86: You Core Formation Stage Cultivators are Too Unstable!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Following the secret passage of the Royal Study, Lu Yuan quickly arrived at an empty secret chamber.
In the center of the secret chamber, there was a Buddha statue.
And in the Buddha’s hand was Chen De’s Imperial Jade Seal.
[Ding! Detected luck item, Evil Buddha Clay Statue…]
[Ding! Detected luck item, Great Xia Kingdom’s Imperial Jade Seal…]
Lu Yuan looked at the Imperial Jade Seal that was held by the evil Buddha statue and frowned.
He could sense that this evil Buddha statue was currently crazily absorbing the luck in the Imperial Jade Seal.
This portion of luck would eventually transform into invisible energy fluctuations that spread throughout the entire Imperial capital.
It was obvious that this evil Buddha was the core of the huge blood-coloured array.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan could not help but sigh, “Although I already knew Chen De is colluding with the Huanxi Sect, I didn’t expect this guy to be so crazy to even use the luck of the kingdom as a bargaining chip.”
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan raised the Qingyun Sword in his hand and swung it at the evil Buddha statue.
Boom!
The evil Buddha statue was instantly split apart by the slashing sword energy.
Although the Buddha statue was strange, it was only a medium. It did not have any special methods.
As the Buddha statue shattered, the Imperial Jade Seal naturally broke free from the evil Buddha’s control and fell to the ground.
Lu Yuan picked up the Imperial Jade Seal and put it into his storage bag.
At the same time, a system notification appeared.
[Ding! As the host has destroyed an Evil Buddha Statue, the luck of the Great Xia Kingdom has been changed to a certain extent. The host has received 10000 luck value…]
[Current luck value: 16320]
Right after Lu Yuan destroyed the evil Buddha statue in the secret chamber of the Royal Study, the entire palace ground instantly shook.
Chen De, who was underground, seemed to have sensed something and roared angrily, “Who, who destroyed my Buddha statue!”
With the Buddha statue on the ground destroyed, the grand array outside the Imperial capital would undoubtedly disappear very soon.
At that time, what happened here would undoubtedly spread to the Qingyun Sect very quickly.
This was definitely not a good thing for Chen De.
As for the huge Buddha statue underground, it was specially prepared by Chen De for his reincarnation ceremony.
It was completely different from the Buddha statue on the ground.
At this point, Chen De had no other way out.
He could only complete his reincarnation as soon as possible and then think of a way to escape.
“Chen De, ah, Chen De, it seems that you are not fated to be with my Buddha…”
Chen De turned his head. A Tantra monk wearing a Dharma robe slowly walked out of the shadows.
This monk looked very kind, and there was a feeling of an accomplished monk between his brows.
However, Chen De knew that this monk was not as kind as he looked.
After all, the devil monk of the Huanxi Sect was never a kind man.
“Master Jing Chen, why didn’t you help me kill the three Qingyun Sect disciples on the ground?” Chen De looked at the monk and asked.
“With your cultivation, killing these three people is nothing!
Jing Chen smiled and shook his head.
“Emperor Chen De, it’s not that this poor monk is unwilling to help you, but that I am is unable to help you as much as I would like to.”
“Do you really think that it’s easy for me to enter the Great Xia Kingdom? ”
“If not for this Buddha statue suppressing my aura, I might have been discovered by the Qingyun Sect cultivators long ago.”
“Now that the ‘One Leaf Blinding Eye’ on the ground has been destroyed, I think the Qingyun Sect will soon discover the situation here.”
“Your Majesty, it’s better to plan ahead. I have to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, this poor Monk might not be able to leave either.”
Chen De panicked when he heard that Jing Chen wanted to leave him alone.
“Wait, Master Jing Chen! I haven’t lost, I haven’t lost yet!”
“As long as my people bring me the Goddess here later and let me complete the reincarnation technique, based on Master’s cultivation, you can definitely bring me out of the Great Xia Kingdom alive. It won’t be too late to leave then!”
Hearing this, Jing Chen pretended to think for a moment before saying, “Then, please hurry up and reincarnate, Your Majesty. Your time and mine are very limited.”
Chen De’s face lit up when he saw Jing Chen agree.
With Jing Chen around, Chen De felt that he should be able to leave the Great Xia Kingdom alive after his reincarnation.
This was because this devil monk, Jing Chen, was not only the devil monk from the Huanxi Sect that Chen De had met in the past.
His strength had even reached the third transformation of the Core Formation Stage.
It was not strange for Jing Chen to appear here.
After all, every Buddha Child was a very precious asset to the Huanxi Sect.
How could he be unprepared and simply place the Buddha Child in another kingdom?
Behind every reincarnated Buddha Child, there would definitely be a Protector.
And this Protector was often the favourite disciple of the reincarnated Buddha Child.
Jing Chen looked at Chen De’s happy face and laughed as well.
It was just that his fake smile looked very strange.
This was because Chen De was only half right.
He would indeed bring the Buddha Child out alive, but it did not mean that Chen De would still be alive.
After all, once Chen De completed the reincarnation technique, he would immediately become the nourishment for the birth of the Buddha Child, and his soul would dissipate.
It could be said that Chen De’s fate had been decided from the very beginning.
Regarding his motives, Jing Chen did not plan to explain.
After all, if he had told Chen De the truth, Chen De would not have been so crazy about the reincarnation technique.
From the beginning to the end, Jing Chen, or rather, the Huanxi Sect, only had their eyes on the Buddha Child.
As for Chen De… He was just an abandoned child that had been toyed with, that’s all.
After Chen De waited anxiously for a moment, a team of practitioners soon arrived at the underground space.
When Chen De saw the gunny sack on the other party’s shoulder and the statue of the Jila Buddha Child in his hand, his face immediately filled with joy.
He thought to himself, “Soon, my dream of longevity… will be realized!
On the other hand, unlike Chen De’s excitement, Jing Chen seemed to have discovered something.
The merciful smile on his face instantly disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression.
Chen De, who was immersed in joy, did not notice this.
Jing Chen’s expression changed because he realized something was wrong.
There was nothing wrong with the statue of the Jile Buddha Child. It was indeed a Buddha statue made of his master’s ashes.
However, there was a big problem with the body of the Goddess.
Jing Chen could not sense any trace of the Jile Buddha Child divine soul within the Goddess in that sack.
Thinking about this, Jing Chen should, “Throw that person out!”
Upon hearing Jing Chen’s words, Liu Ming and the others were stunned.
However, Lu Yuan’s clone in the sack reacted very quickly and responded first.
Boom!
A ball of scorching flames suddenly spread out from the sack.
The sudden appearance of the flames caught Liu Ming and the others off guard.
Apart from Liu Ming, who had a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation, the rest of the team of ten people screamed and turned into charred corpses.
Lu Yuan stood in the flames and looked at Devil Monk Jing Chen and Chen De with a smile.
“The Core Formation Stage devil monk of the Huanxi Sect. There is indeed such a big fish hidden here.”
Jing Chen looked at Lu Yuan coldly.
“Fire Cicada Nine Transformations, you have good methods.”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan, who had transformed into ‘Xu Wan’er’, laughed.
“It’s just a small trick. I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Master.”
After sensing Lu Yuan’s cultivation, Jing Chen said, “A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, you can’t possibly injure me at your current stage, right?”
Lu Yuan did not answer this question directly. Instead, he turned to a charred corpse lying on the ground behind him and said, “Master, Senior Practitioner Chen, stop pretending. It’s time to lay out our cards.”
As Jing Chen and Chen De watched in shock, two of the charred corpses on the ground slowly stood up.
After a flash of divine lights, two Core Formation Stage cultivators appeared in front of Jing Chen.
It turned out that among the team of ten practitioners who had appeared, someone had been switched out.
Liu Ming, who was heavily injured and lying on the ground, saw this.
When did… When did all of this happen?
When Chen De saw one of them, he exclaimed, “Patriarch Yuanqing, why are you here?”
Chen Yuanqing looked at Chen De, whose face was haggard, pale and drained of blood. He said “Why am I here? That’s what I want to ask you, this unfilial descendant.”
“You are the Great Xia’s Imperial family bloodline and yet you are so foolish as to collude with a monk from the devil way.”
“Do you really think that you will have a good ending if you cooperate with them?”
Faced with Chen Yuanqing’s reprimand, Chen De roared in a distorted manner, “Then should I just wait for death?”
Chen Yuanqing shook his head helplessly.
Humans were never satisfied.
A descendant who did not have the qualifications to cultivate was the same.
Chen Yuanqing could not imagine what the consequences would be if a person with the qualifications to cultivate was allowed to sit on the throne.
At that time, in order to cultivate, the descendants might do even crazier things than Chen De.
Fortunately, although the current situation was serious, it was not to the extent that it was irreversible.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuanqing looked at Han Yuanshan.”Fellow Han, please don’t interfere in this matter. Let me clean up this family mess myself.”
Han Yuanshan was also happy to be free. He smiled and said, “Then I’ll hold the fort for Fellow Chen. Fellow Chen, please.”
Lu Yuan, who was at the side, looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he gave up in the end.
When Chen Yuanqing walked towards Chen De and Devil Monk Jing Chen, Lu Yuan’s clone spoke to Master Han Yuanshan in a low voice, “Master, is Elder Chen really fine alone? That devil monk doesn’t seem simple.”
Han Yuanshan said confidently, “My disciple, just watch. Elder Chen’s strength is not something that ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivators can compare with.”
Seeing Han Yuanshan so confident, Lu Yuan finally gave up the idea of persuading him.
The main reason was that Lu Yuan felt that although they had a huge advantage now, they could not be reckless!
Since they already had the conditions to fight in a group, why did they still have to fight one-on-one!
“Master, are you really not afraid of losing in the end?” Lu Yuan thought to himself. “Unstable, you Core Formation Stage cultivators… are too unstable!
