Chapter 99: Cheating
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After scanning for a moment, Lin Yan noticed the Eight-Armed Four-Eyed Vajra’s head in front of him.
He extended his hand into a claw and grabbed at the head. His five fingers easily dug into the black rock head. It was not harder than ordinary rocks.
He raised his head to his eyes.
This Vajra’s head was larger than an ordinary person’s head. His head was wrapped in a bun, and his expression was lifelike.
The only uncoordinated thing was that the two protruding eyeballs on his forehead were sparkling and translucent. They were extremely abrupt, as if they had been forcefully installed later.
Lin Yan reached out and touched it. The Golden Bodhi Scripture in his mind trembled even more violently.
“That’s right. The external spiritual matter refers to these two additional eyes.”
…..
These two eyeballs were different from Spirit Marrow. They did not have golden patterns like leaves, and their colors were different.
Lin Yan didn’t hesitate to activate the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
An extremely dense invisible substance was extracted and absorbed by the Golden Bodhi Scripture and injected into Lin Yan’s body endlessly!
Lin Yan was very surprised. There were actually so many external spiritual substances gathered in these two small stone eyes?!
He opened the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
On the Nine Wisdom Bodhi, the remaining six apertures that were originally gray began to light up at a visible speed.
One aperture, two apertures, three apertures…
In a short moment, he had directly filled the nine apertures and obtained a Nine Wisdom Bodhi!
Lin Yan was dumbfounded. He had already been prepared in his mind that he might not gain anything from this exploration.
For some reason, these two stone eyeballs actually gave him such a huge surprise!
“What exactly is this? A sarira? It actually contains so much external spiritual essence?
“In other words, other than the Spirit Marrow, there are other things that can provide external spiritual essence?”
Even when the Nine Wisdom Bodhi was completely filled, the external spiritual matter had yet to dry up and was still slowly injecting.
However, the Nine Wisdom Bodhi was already full. There was nowhere to go with this external spiritual substance. Lin Yan frowned slightly. Could it only be a waste?
At this moment, in his mind, the Golden Bodhi Scripture suddenly emitted a gentle golden light.
On the ancient book, in the row of special effects, words suddenly appeared. A line of words slowly appeared.
Special Effects:
Black Jade Bodhi—Extreme Sublimation
Nine Wisdom Bodhi—Nine Revolutions Nine Wisdom
Nine Wisdom Bodhi—Truth Comprehension (Hidden): Even you’re confused for a long time, it only takes one moment to comprehend. The moment you comprehend it, the Nine Wisdom Bodhi will be filled. It can transform into a spiritual light of enlightenment and give you an opportunity to comprehend.
The notification of the Golden Bodhi Scripture made Lin Yan quickly understand what it meant.
His eyes lit up. The Nine Wisdom Bodhi actually had a hidden special effect?!
Truth Comprehension. This special effect could only be unlocked after the Nine Wisdom Bodhi was filled.
It could transform a Nine Wisdom Bodhi into an opportunity for enlightenment and he could throw it into a skill to comprehend!
Lin Yan’s face was flushed red, and he was pleasantly surprised.
Enlightenment was a Buddhist term that could increase one’s realm in an instant.
For example, in his previous life, Lin Yan knew that Wang Yangming had an epiphany and became a Sage.
If it was placed on him, an epiphany could greatly increase the proficiency of a skill!
The proficiency of the enlightenment seed increased the proficiency, the Nine Wisdom Bodhi lowered the sublimation standard, and the Black Jade Bodhi sublimation offered special effect…
Didn’t this mean that as long as he had enough spiritual matter, he could completely quickly increase his skill realm and sublimate the special effects?
Just the Poison Transformation and Rejuvenation alone had already far surpassed martial artists of the same realm. If he had a hundred special effects…
Wouldn’t he be invincible?
Lin Yan took a few deep breaths. This was completely a figment of his imagination. After all, he was still confused about where the external spiritual matter came from.
The most important thing now was to quickly transform the Nine Wisdom Bodhi to prevent it from wasting the remaining spiritual essence.
He immediately communicated with the Golden Bodhi Scripture and transformed the Nine Wisdom Bodhi into a spiritual light of enlightenment.
Under the ancient page, the Nine Wisdom Bodhi immediately circulated with a gentle light. It was dazzling and slowly condensed, turning into a crystal-clear spiritual light. It was like a firefly, but if one looked carefully, it seemed to contain an endless universe.
The Enlightenment Spiritual Light could be stored.
Lin Yan was underground now and it was not safe around, so he was naturally not in a hurry to use it.
As the Nine Wisdom Bodhi emptied itself, the spiritual essence slowly injected again. The new Nine Wisdom Bodhi accumulated spiritual essence again.
Lin Yan sighed with emotion. This was really a pleasant surprise, a huge surprise.
However, on second thought, if he did not accumulate all the Nine Wisdom Bodhi in his life, or if he used it every time he did not reach the Nine Wisdom realm, wouldn’t he be unable to unlock this new special effect in his life?
Or perhaps from another perspective, could the Black Jade Bodhi also have a hidden special effect, but he had not found the conditions to unlock it?
With such thoughts running wild, the new Nine Wisdom Bodhi quickly lit up two more apertures. The infusion of spiritual matter slowly dried up.
The two eyeballs also dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Its size shrank and turned into two ordinary grayish-white stones. At a glance, it could be seen that they had indeed been installed later.
However, the moment the external spiritual essence dried up, Lin Yan’s mind suddenly trembled, and the Golden Bodhi Scripture shone with golden light.
In the golden light, Lin Yan seemed to see layers of fragment illusions.
In the magnificent and majestic holy temple, a kind-looking gray-robed old monk with a sympathetic expression was chanting Buddhist scriptures…
A delicate-looking young man knelt respectfully to the old monk. The old monk reached out and caressed him…
The old monk’s eyes were empty. He held the bronze chain and tied up a huge blood-colored stone coffin layer by layer, carrying it on his back…
Another old monk pressed his palms together in a solemn manner. However, demonic sounds circled his ears and endless “Master, Master” sounded. It was actually a language that Lin Yan could understand…
Finally, the old monk was withered and thin. He carried the stone coffin on his back and staggered forward, walking towards an endless abyss. Behind him, there was an emperor whose face could not be seen clearly. His entire body was dazzling as he stood at the peak, high and mighty…
The Golden Bodhi Scripture shook again, and all the illusions shattered and disappeared.
Lin Yan was sweating profusely, as if he had seen a movie that couldn’t be connected.
He lowered his head and looked at the Buddha Head in his hand. A hint of shock flashed across his eyes.
Due to the illusion just now, this originally ferocious Vajra statue actually had an additional sense of refinement.
On the Vajra statue, the two eyeballs shrank, clearly leaving the entire head. Lin Yan reached out and plucked off two grayish-white beads.
The Vajra statue that had lost its two round eyes was even more obvious. Under its dignified and terrifying face, one could vaguely see the appearance of the young man.
Lin Yan’s eyes flickered as he turned to look at the old monk’s wooden carving. His appearance was clearly identical to the old monk in the illusion.
In the end, did someone carve a wooden statue to commemorate the old monk, or was this wooden statue the old monk…
It was as if there was suddenly a ghost-like gloominess around him.
Crackle.
Lin Yan subconsciously exerted strength, and the head in his hand was instantly crushed into seventeen or eighteen pieces. This made him relax a little.
“Can someone from countless years ago really live until now…”
His expression darkened. Regardless of whether the illusion was real or fake, it was something that happened thousands of years ago and had nothing to do with him now.
After throwing away the fragments, Lin Yan weighed the two round stone beads in his hand and walked to the old monk’s side. He looked at the two stone beads in his hand and then at the two empty eye sockets on the old monk’s face.
The sizes of the two were coincidentally about the same.
“So, this spiritual quality came from the old monk?”
He picked up two stone pearls and inserted them into the old man’s eyes one after another. They were completely seamless.
The old man with the stone bead eyes instantly became extremely lively. His face was filled with pity and despair, as if it was about to jump out of his face. It almost stunned Lin Yan for a moment, as if he had seen the old monk in the illusion again.
“Why did they dig out the old monk’s eyeballs and embed them on the Eight-Armed Vajra’s head?”
Lin Yan reached out, wanting to dig out the eyeballs again.
…..
However, something strange happened.
It was clearly just a stone bead that he had casually stuffed in, but he could not even dig it out.
It was as if the eyeballs had grown back together with the wooden statue and become a part of it!
A cold glint flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes. He reached out, grabbed the old monk’s wooden head, and squeezed!
BANG!
With a soft crisp sound, wood shavings scattered in all directions. The upper half of the old monk’s wooden head was crushed by him.
Originally, he felt that if he flattened it like this, the stone beads would definitely be pinched out.
Unexpectedly, the stone beads shattered along with the wooden head and were mixed in the wood carving fragments.
Lin Yan released his palm. The old monk’s wooden statue seemed to have lost its support and flipped back. It accidentally flipped into the stone coffin and lay with the remains of the Vajra statue.
Lin Yan went forward to take a look, and his eyes narrowed slightly. After the old monk fell backward, he was forced to turn around. His hands landed on the remains of the Vajra statue that Lin Yan had crushed.
Coupled with the old monk’s pitiful face, it was as if he was praying for the shattered Vajra.
Lin Yan was silent. He subconsciously recalled the scene of the old monk reaching out and gently caressing the young man in the illusion.
“Are they dead or alive? This world is far stranger than 1 thought…”
Shaking his head, he dispelled the distracting thoughts.
It had been quite a while. The Wang family’s Tough Realm cultivators might have already arrived.
Lin Yan didn’t stay any longer. He turned around and retreated along the way, leaving the old monk and the handsome youth-like sculptures buried deep in the underground stone coffin..
