Chapter 398 Completely Breaking Buddha's Defense! (4K)
"This is the Grand Freedom Buddha from our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, holding an extremely high position within the Temple..."
Monk Wu Le and several disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple brought their hands together in salutation, showing solemn respect.
Lu Changsheng's face grew even darker. The disciple he had taken on had attracted the competition of the Grand Freedom Buddha from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, causing quite a bit of trouble for himself.

The Buddhas from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple were not only highly esteemed but also possessed profound cultivation, equivalent to an Immortal Emperor from a holy land.
Among the Buddhas of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the Grand Freedom Buddha was also one of the stronger ones.
Even the Five-Clawed True Dragon from the realm of Daluo Golden Immortals had to pull the cart for the Grand Freedom Buddha.
When the Grand Freedom Buddha came to Yun Cang Country, thousands of Arhats and monks followed him. With the grand chanting of sutras and celestial maidens scattering flowers, golden lotuses surged up from the ground. The scene was truly majestic.
"Junior Brother, the pressure from this Grand Freedom Buddha is so strong, countless times more potent than that monkey's. We need to be careful in dealing with him," Shangguan Zhao'er said.
Zhao Wuyan, normally all smiles, turned serious after the arrival of the Grand Freedom Buddha.
He vaguely sensed the hostility from the Grand Freedom Buddha.
The Grand Freedom Buddha was trying to snatch the disciple from his junior brother. No matter how high the Grand Freedom Buddha's cultivation was, he would stand by his junior brother's side.
Without his junior brother, Zhao Wuyan wouldn't even have the chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Shangguan Zhao'er said, "I've heard my master mention this Grand Freedom Buddha. Five million years ago, he was already a Buddha. Now, after another five million years, his cultivation is unfathomably deep. Even the seven Great Demons are like nothing in front of him. Why is he so determined to snatch Junior Brother's disciple?"
Shangguan Zhao'er realized that the new disciple Chen Yi, taken in by Lu Changsheng, was no ordinary person.
No, none of the disciples Lu had taken in were normal, not even the dog guarding the gate, which was a Three-Eyed Divine Canine.
The people of Yun Cang Country had never seen a true Buddha. Faced with the radiant Buddha light and extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and on earth, they all worshiped without exception.
Even in Mount Shu's sphere of influence, the overwhelming pressure of the Grand Freedom Buddha compelled mortals to bow in worship.
The Grand Freedom Buddha's gaze settled on Lu Changsheng and then on Chen Yi, to whom he said, "You have a connection with our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. It would be better for you to enter my Buddhist Sect, cultivate to fruition, and proceed to the Western Paradise."
As if by some inexplicable magic, the words of the Grand Freedom Buddha caused heads to lower even further among the people of Yun Cang Country.
Even Zhao Wuyan, at the peak of Earth Immortality, began to look dazed.
"Hmph."
Lu Changsheng snorted coldly, running the True Solar Fire Yuan Skills, his True Solar Fire Yuan True Qi dispersing the Buddha's voice, calming down Zhao Wuyan, as well as everyone in Yun Cang Country.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Such terrifying Buddhist Force."
Zhao Wuyan felt a chill run down his spine.
The skills of the Grand Freedom Buddha were excessively strong; a mere sentence had affected even the peak-level Earth Immortals.
"True Solar Fire Yuan Skills? Are you from the Holy Land of Tai Hua?"
The normally composed Grand Freedom Buddha appeared slightly perturbed.
Tai Hua's Holy Land and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple were evenly matched in strength, so there really was no need to give face to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Lu Changsheng said to Chen Yi, "Disciple, would you consider joining another Sect?"
Chen Yi shook his head.
Lu Changsheng had avenged him and shown him kindness; he had no reason to enter the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
"Grand Freedom Buddha, you have heard it. My disciple does not wish to enter your Sect. Please depart."
Lu Changsheng's master was Lin Xuantong, the Saint Lord of Tai Hua, whose status was equivalent to the Buddha Lord of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Thus, as Lin Xuantong's direct disciple and the candidate Holy Son of Tai Hua's Holy Land, Lu Changsheng's status was not much less than that of the Grand Freedom Buddha.
Lu Changsheng believed that when he was in the right, Lin Xuantong would stand by his side, so there was no need to grovel before the Grand Freedom Buddha.
Monk Wu Le also stepped forward to plead for Lu Changsheng: "It happens that Lu benefactor saved this person and took him in as a disciple. This indicates that there is a predestined cause and effect. We renunciates should comply with destiny and not force it."
The Grand Freedom Buddha still looked kind and benevolent, but his voice did not contain a hint of emotion: "This child is the reincarnation of a Buddha and has a karmic connection with our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Only our Temple can help him regain the memories of his past life. You, a Sword Cultivator, taking a Buddhist Sect's genius as a disciple, is undoubtedly wasting heavenly gifts."
A reincarnation of a Buddha?!
Shangguan Zhao'er, Zhao Wuyan, and the people of Yun Cang Country were astonished to hear this, that Lu Changsheng's disciple was the reincarnation of a Buddha!
No wonder the Grand Freedom Buddha from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was so intent on taking Chen Yi as a disciple.
"That's not necessarily the case. Our Holy Land of Tai Hua lacks neither Buddhist cultivation techniques nor resources for cultivation. With his comprehension, a little guidance is all that's needed for him to become a Buddha."
Lu Changsheng possessed the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, which allowed him to give away higher-level Buddhist cultivation techniques and treasures. Having Chen Yi as his disciple truly would not be worse off than being in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
At the same time, Lu Changsheng made his identity from the Holy Land of Tai Hua known to at least prevent the Grand Freedom Buddha from daring to kill him, and the Grand Freedom Buddha would also not want to offend Lin Xuantong.
"If the benefactor insists on disrupting the predestined cause and effect, do not blame this Buddha for taking action," the Grand Freedom Buddha said with an unchanged expression, but the tone hinted at a threat.
"Hey, you stinking bald donkey, my junior brother took my master as his mentor, and that is destiny. You intervening forcibly is actually the disruption of cause and effect, isn't it? What kind of nonsense Buddha forcefully takes others as disciples, truly hypocritical. I think, this Buddha of yours is not even as good as Monk Wu Le. He's much better than you," Lu Qinglian said with her hands on her hips, still composed in the face of the Grand Freedom Buddha, ridiculing him in a peculiar tone.
The benevolent expression on the Grand Freedom Buddha's face stiffened, and his demeanor slightly odd.
Unyielding, Lu Qinglian continued to act in her true character from Zhuan: "I think you are just a Buddhist practitioner who has cultivated for a long time, possessing cultivation but not true compassion. It seems to me, if I, Lu Qinglian, were to become the Immortal Emperor, I could presumably serve as a Buddha in your Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?"
