Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Panda Novel

On Terraglyph Planet, a gigantic stone grotto was somewhere in a desert, and inside the grotto was a cave.

Its walls were filled with gorgeous murals. There were murals of benevolent Bodhisattvas, raging Heavenly Guardians, and even the smiling Buddha…

With the lifelike murals, it looked as if all the gods and Buddhas had gathered in that place.

The place was known as the Thousand Buddha Grotto.

Countless cultivators were looking at the surrounding murals here and could not hide their amazement.

Some people saw all forms of living beings in those murals, some saw their past and future, while some saw prosperity and wealth…

Everyone saw different things, which was a very peculiar thing.

There was a statue of a Buddhist practitioner sitting with legs crossed at the end of those murals.

That lifelike statue was sitting with his palms together, where a golden irregular stone sat in the palm of his hands.

That 'stone' radiated faint traces of Buddhist Light, and Daoist patterns were intertwining all over it while Brahmic Chimes were ringing faintly. That was the Buddhist Sarira!

The sky-prides and cultivators who tried to get closer to that Sarira either fell into a confused or maddened state. It was as if they had fallen prey to some illusion. The closer they got to the Buddhist Sarira, the worse the effect became.

As such, many people did not dare to approach it as they were extremely frightened.

"Although this Sarira is a great item, the Buddhist Great One's trial is certainly no joke."

"Anyone who wants to get the Sarira must first undergo the Mental Demon Trial and then survive the Perilous Brahmic Chime. However, just the Demon Trial alone is already subjecting the cultivators to their greatest fear. This trial is just too difficult."

Everyone looked at that Sarira and lamented.

The person closest to the Sarira was a monk in a red cassock.

That person was a sky-pride from the Buddhist orthodoxies.

Right now, he was only a hundred steps away from the Sarira. However, it was already taking him a tremendous effort to stay where he was, let alone approach the Sarira.

He was sweating profusely as if battling some sort of terrifying being!

Finally, he sat down with his legs crossed, held his palms together, and started reciting the Buddhist sutras. Then, Buddhist Light began to radiate from him like he was resisting the influence of something.

Upon seeing that, a sky-pride shook his head. "Even that Buddhist sky-pride can't stand a chance in the Demon Trial, let alone the rest of us."

At that moment, a few people arrived outside the grotto.

They were Heavenly Champions who had come here to attempt the Sarira.

The one leading them was a handsome white-robed monk.

He was wearing sandals and had a calming smile on his face.

However, everyone's expression changed uncontrollably at the sight of him.

"It's him, the Buddhist Prodigy, Buddhist Daoist Huijue!"

"Even he has come to the Thousand Buddha Grotto. Interesting."

"Rumor says that this person is the successor of Samantabhadra, one of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas of ancient Immortal times. He's so powerful that even ordinary True Immortals are no match for him."

Huijue came to the Thousand Buddha Grotto, looked at the statue with the Sarira at the end of the murals, and chanted. "Amitabha."

After that, he started walking toward the statue right after that.

He walked at a brisk pace while his body radiated with Buddhist Light. It was as if the Demon Trial's power in the surroundings did not affect him.

Everyone was amazed.

"As expected of the Buddhist Prodigy. He's truly excellent."

"The Buddhist sky-pride earlier is nothing compared to Buddhist Daoist Huijue."

Moments later, Huijue arrived beside the Buddhist sky-pride. He looked at the fellow Buddhist sky-pride who was drenched in sweat sitting cross-legged on the floor and could not help but shake his head. "Fellow Buddhist sky-pride, if you continue to persist in this Demon Trial any longer, I'm afraid your Buddhist core will be ruined. Please forgive me for what I'm about to do."

He waved his sleeves, releasing a ray of Buddhist Light that enveloped the Buddhist sky-pride and instantly sent him out from the Demon Trial's range.

That Buddhist sky-pride slowly opened his eyes, revealing a lingering fear. "It's just too difficult. If it weren't for the Buddhist Daoist's help, I'm afraid I'll still be trapped in the Demon Trial now."

At that thought, he looked at Buddhist Daoist Huijue gratefully.

Meanwhile, Huijue continued walking toward the statue.

His arrival had attracted the attention of every sky-pride present.

Everyone wanted to see whether he could obtain that Sarira in the end.

Soon, Huijue was fifty steps away from that statue.

Upon reaching that point, the Demon Trial's power weighing on Huijue began to get stronger.

Besides that, the sounds of Brahmic Chimes began to ring in his surroundings.

The reverberating Brahmic Chimes were impacting Huijue's mind, seemingly wanting to strip away his consciousness at once.

Even Huijue's expression could not help but turn serious because of the effects of the two trials. Subsequently, his Buddhist Light radiated at its brightest.

However, after another ten steps, he could not move forward anymore.

At that time, a colorful light emerged from Huijue's body.

A Buddhist Trait was contained within that light.

Within that light, a vague figure of a crystal-like heart was formed from the intertwining light rays.

That Buddhist sky-pride could not help but exclaim, "It's… It's the Bodhi Heart!"

The Buddhist orthodoxies had five levels of karmic being, and the Bodhi Heart was a power only a Bodhisattva, a Fourth-level Karmic Being could cultivate.

"It appears that rumors about Huijue being Samantabhadra's successor are true."

Otherwise, there would be no explanation of where Huijue's Bodhi Heart came from.

With the help of the Bodhi Heart, Huijue noticed that the effect of the Demon Trial, and the Perilous Brahmic Chimes drastically reduced.

Hence, he continued walking toward the statue at the end of the grotto.

While Huijue was undergoing the trial, a few more people arrived at the grotto.

The person leading them had black hair and was wearing a white robe. He was handsome like a true Immortal.

Many people gasped upon noticing him and were more shocked than seeing Huijue.

"I-It's him! Chu Kuangren is here!"

The shocked gazes of many landed on Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren was a name that was close to being forgotten but had regained people's attention recently, causing countless sky-prides and Heavenly Champions to pay attention to him again.

Now, he had come to the Thousand Buddha Grotto, obviously for the Sarira.

Chu Kuangren exclaimed with amazement when he arrived at the grotto and saw the countless murals there. "What a splendid assembly of gods and Buddhas!"

Then, he noticed the Sarira at the end of the grotto.

That was his main reason for coming here.

Just when he was about to walk toward it, someone went and stopped him. It was the Buddhist sky-pride from earlier.

"Amitabha. Venerable cultivator, a Buddhist Daoist from our Buddhist orthodoxy is still undergoing the trial. Please do not disturb him, venerable cultivator," the Buddhist sky-pride said while holding his palms together.

Chu Kuangren could not help but sneer. "Why? Are we not allowed to undergo the trial just because he's there? Although this is a Buddhist Great One's inheritance, we're in the Interstellar Arena. Anyone can take any Opportunities of Fortune or inheritances they are capable of getting. It doesn't matter whether you're a Buddhist Daoist or not."

Following that, he stepped forward toward the statue.

"Please stop, venerable cultivator!"

The Buddhist sky-pride still wanted to stop him.

If anyone else were to undergo the trial, he would not need to worry about them affecting Huijue's progress.

However, things were different for someone as well-known as Chu Kuangren.

No one could ever predict the things he could do or cause.

To ensure that Huijue was the one to get the Sarira, he must stop Chu Kuangren.

"You insolent fool!"

Just when that Buddhist sky-pride was going to block his way, Chu Kuangren's face turned cold.

His body shook as a surge of Immortal Core energy poured out like a raging wave.

The Buddhist sky-pride's expression changed. Before he could even resist, he was immediately blasted away by that surge of energy.
