Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Reversing Seizure
Western Region, Mount Fanjing.
Atop a grand and majestic mountain, an immensely magnificent temple stands tall.
Heavenly Dragon Temple, the foremost Buddhist sect in the Western Region!
Rumble, rumble~
Above the dark vault of heaven, the sky is dense with clouds as thunder rolls and howling winds whip up the clouds into a huge vortex high in the sky, with countless lightning serpents slithering in and out of it.
The whole world seemed on the verge of collapse!
And right beneath the thundercloud vortex, Heavenly Dragon Temple still shone bright, with lanterns ablaze and incense burning.
Inside the golden splendor of the grand hall, a scene of utter chaos unfolded.
Numerous monks looked on with eyes filled with terror at the enormous painting hanging beside the Buddha statue.
This painting was about nine feet wide and over thirty feet tall.
It cascaded from the very top of the great hall’s dome to the ground, where it was held aloft by a lotus stage made of pure gold.
The painting depicted only a lifelike and fierce five-clawed Heavenly Dragon with bared teeth and claws.
Mists of darkness swirled around it, its lengthy dragon body violently twisting as if about to burst forth from the painting.

Anyone could see that this Heavenly Dragon was in a state of fury!
This giant painting was none other than the treasure that guarded Heavenly Dragon Temple—the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon True Soul Painting.
It is said to have been crafted by a Power Man of the Buddhist Sect who extracted and refined the soul of a malevolent dragon, infusing it with the embodiment of the sect’s Guardian, the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, possessing the mighty ability to eradicate all demons and suppress evil wraiths.
Furthermore, the renowned Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method originated from this very Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon True Soul Painting!
However, at this moment, the temple’s treasured artifact, which the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple venerate, was fast becoming their nightmare.
In the grand hall, many monks, who had low levels of cultivation, bled from their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears under the force of the intense spiritual assault.
Their appearances were extremely miserable.
Simultaneously, their Divine Souls and wills were being eroded by the Heavenly Dragon’s malevolent thoughts.
If their spirits were to crumble, they were very likely to fall into demonhood!
“The abbot has come!”
Just as the monks were lost and anxious with fear, a monk with white eyebrows holding a Zen staff entered the grand hall, escorted by numerous red-robed monks.
“Namo Amitabha Buddha~”
With a loud chant of the Buddha’s name by the white-eyebrowed monk, the disorderly scene in the hall was greatly ameliorated.
They had found their cornerstone.
The monks quickly bowed in respect and, despite their agony, moved aside.
The white-eyebrowed monk stepped forward to face the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon True Soul Painting.
He looked up at the furious Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon and shouted, “Away!”
His voice boomed like a bell, soul-shaking and awe-inspiring!
A vast Buddhist power instantly cleansed the malicious aura filling the grand hall.
Upon the release of the true words, the dragon in the painting suddenly trembled.
The dragon, with its blood-red eyes, gave the white-eyebrowed monk a deep look. Filled with reluctance and anger, it coiled its long body and retreated into the dark mists, hiding itself once again.
At that moment, the white-eyebrowed monk noticed blood dripping from the area beneath the dragon’s neck.
The silver crescent-shaped scale that had been there was now gone.
The reverse scale had been taken!
The white-eyebrowed monk’s complexion immediately changed.
The reverse scale of a True Dragon is forged by fate, being both a vulnerability and the essence of its spirit, deadly upon contact.
Who would have thought that the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, enshrined in the Heavenly Dragon Temple’s grand hall, could have its reverse scale taken in full view of everyone?
The anger of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon was completely understandable.
Its loss was enormous!
The question was, who in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm could do such a thing?
With that thought in mind.
Even the glass-like Buddha heart of the white-eyebrowed monk started to show fissures!
He immediately asked in a deep voice, “Is Wuming here?”
Immediately, a burly monk stepped forward: “Your disciple is present!”
The white-eyebrowed monk said, “Convey my decree, retract all of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Methods that have been distributed, and cease its propagation from now on!”
His heart bled at the thought.
It was through the cost-effective Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method that Heavenly Dragon Temple not only made a fortune but also attracted a large number of talented individuals.
This “Returning Dragon” plan had been in effect for a hundred years and had worked very well.
Now that it was being discontinued abruptly, massive losses were inevitable!
But when it comes to the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon True Soul Painting, such a price must be endured.
Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable!
The stocky monk hesitated, then asked, “Master, should we still sell the Vajra Ghee? Do we need to take it back?”
“Keep selling it!”
The white-eyebrowed monk said sternly, “From now on, increase the price by three times, no, sell it for five times the price!”
Previously, with an ulterior motive, Vajra Ghee could be sold at a slim profit.
Now that the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method is not usable, we can only compensate for the loss through this secret medicinal oil.
Those cultivators who have gotten used to using Vajra Ghee to temper their physiques will surely not mind spending five times the price!
The stocky monk bowed respectfully, “I will follow the decree carefully!”
The white-eyebrowed monk waved his hand dismissively, his gaze returning once again to the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon True Soul Painting.
A sense of unexplained heart palpitations arose!
At this very moment, millions of miles away in the Inner Sect of the Cloud Sun Sect.
Wang Chen, who was at home, had just discovered an astonishing change in the data of the Ancient Taoist Stele.
[Owner: Ancient Taoist Stele (Sealed): 505720/10000000]
The sealing points of it had suddenly increased by 500,000!
Was this due to having suppressed the True Form of Heavenly Dragon?
Wang Chen was somewhat puzzled.
But he did not delve into studying this issue that might never be resolved.
After all, the Ancient Taoist Stele was simply too mysterious.
The real issue Wang Chen now needed to address was that, although he had broken through to the fourth layer of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method, entering the Vajra Impermeable realm,
To stabilize the realm and unleash the true power of the Vajra Impermeable physique,
He needed to continue cultivating this method.
Wang Chen was not lacking in cultivation techniques.
Monk Wuxiang had given him all three middle layers of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method.
But the Vajra Ghee that assisted in cultivation, he had long since used up.
Without this special medicinal oil, the effectiveness of his cultivation would surely be greatly reduced!
Of this, Wang Chen had a deep understanding.
After much deliberation, he decided that for the sake of his own life and property, he would go all out!
The next morning, Wang Chen left the Inner Sect and headed for Cloud Mountain City.
He sold the Autumn Water Sword, the Soul-Shaking Bell, and part of the talismans he had drawn before.
Although the prices offered by the talisman shop were very low,
He had no choice for the sake of obtaining spirit stones.
Wang Chen even sold an artifact that originally belonged to Lv Defang.
This artifact was of high grade,
It just had been significantly damaged in battle, and he had picked it up and kept it unused all this time.
Now it was disposed of as a damaged item.
Of course, he had worn the Thousand Mechanisms Changing mask to sell everything separately in the three cities of the Outer Sect.
In addition,
All the bits and pieces that Yuanyuan had scraped together, regardless of their value, were all cleared out in one go.
He only kept the Mysterious Armor Ring.
After all this running around, his legs were almost thin.
In the end, Wang Chen had exchanged for a hundred and seventy-six bottles of Vajra Ghee.
The higher the level of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Right Method, the greater the need for Vajra Ghee.
A hundred bottles may seem plenty,
But the actual consumption rate when used is very fast.
But there was no other way, he could only gather that many spirit stones; he couldn’t exactly sell his kidneys or blood, could he?
After practicing at home for another three days,
The Vajra Impermeable physique became stable, and only then did Wang Chen go to the Sect Affairs Hall to take on sect missions.
As the saying goes, troop training for a thousand days is for one moment of battle.
He had diligently and painstakingly cultivated, investing everything to arm himself, and it was time to put his skills to use!
