Chapter 2365: Master of Nothingness

The Great Master, a Void Tempering Initial Stage Cultivator, struck with immense power and momentum, yet his palm met only air.

Ye Bufan’s figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot, and reappearing before the Three Great Elders.

With the Celestial Buddha Pagoda in imminent danger, he had no time to waste, nor would he entangle himself with that Great Master.

He arrived before Great Master Xuwu, reached out, and pulled out a Qi Recovery Pill. “Eat it!”

Ye Bufan’s loud shout contained the power of the Soul Capture Technique. At this moment, Great Master Xuwu was fully concentrating on controlling the Celestial Buddha Pagoda, completely unable to resist. He subconsciously opened his mouth, and the Medicinal Pill went directly in.

“What are you trying to do?!”

Only at this point did the surrounding monks regain their senses. One by one, they roared in anger, rushing forward, ready to strike.

But just then, Xuwu’s nearly depleted Dantian felt as if a clear spring had been poured into it, and his True Qi instantly surged again.

His cultivation returned to its Peak state, and the Aura of Dongxu Peak once again erupted from his entire body. This was the effect of the Qi Recovery Pill.

Upon seeing this, even if those monks were foolish, they understood that this Young man was not an enemy but was helping them. They immediately stopped.

Seeing these people retreat, Ye Bufan took out two more Qi Recovery Pills and gave them to the two monks behind him, Xukong and Xuzhu, who also ate them.

With the Medicinal Pills consumed, the three Dongxu Peak experts of Tianlong Temple all recovered to their previous cultivation, and the Celestial Buddha Pagoda stabilized once more.

Outside the Formation, people from various Schools watched as the Celestial Buddha Pagoda’s light dimmed, on the verge of being breached at any moment. Their hearts were filled with despair, and they prepared to fight the Demonic Sect once again.

At this moment, many more Cultivators, having heard the news, arrived, including Ximen Feng, the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

She naturally did not hesitate upon receiving her Sect Master’s command, bringing several Great Ascension Stage experts from her Sect to rush over. However, due to the long journey, they were a little late in arriving.

“Sect Master, what is happening?”

Ximen Feng asked, looking at the tottering Celestial Buddha Pagoda.

“Tianlong Temple was ambushed by the Demonic Sect. It looks like they are in grave danger.”

Originally, Ximen Jiayin still held a glimmer of hope for Ye Bufan, but after so long with no activity, she gradually lost confidence.

“Really? That’s truly a pity…”

Before Ximen Feng could finish speaking, the Celestial Buddha Pagoda in front of them suddenly glowed brightly, emitting dazzling golden Buddha light.

The overwhelming black Devilish Qi that had been surging forward rapidly retreated under the illumination of the Buddha light, returning to a stalemate in the blink of an eye.

“This… what’s going on?”

Everyone present was stunned. They had seen Tianlong Temple’s situation was dire, so how did it suddenly recover?

Not only them, but also those from the Demonic Sect who had been stirring within the Dark Night Demon Formation were equally bewildered.

In their view, victory was already within grasp, and they were about to break into the Celestial Buddha Pagoda. How did the situation suddenly change?

Among the Demonic Sect members, there were three leaders, the Three Great Elders of the Tianqiong State Demonic Palace.

The Second Elder, Xin Wubei, looked at the Grand Elder, Xin Wunu: “Big brother, what’s happening? It looks like the duck that was almost in our mouth is about to fly away?”

“How should I know?”

Xin Wunu’s expression was cold. “Keep attacking with the Formation. I refuse to believe we can’t take down these bald donkeys. Let’s see how much longer they can last.”

Inside the Buddha Pagoda, Great Master Xuwu handed over the control of the Celestial Buddha Pagoda to Xuzhu and Xukong. Now that all three had recovered their cultivation, only one person was needed to control it.

He stood up and approached Ye Bufan, clasping his hands together: “This old monk thanks the young benefactor for saving his life!”

His words were few but extremely devout.

He was very clear about how desperate the situation had been just now. As long as the Celestial Buddha Pagoda was breached, the entire Tianlong Temple would face destruction.

Therefore, Ye Bufan had not only saved one person but had saved the entire Sect.

“Great Master, you are too polite!”

Ye Bufan took out a small jade bottle and handed it to Great Master Xuwu: “There are twelve more Qi Recovery Pills in here. One pill can ensure that your True Qi will not dry up for half an hour.

You can let the two Great Masters use them in rotation. I have something I want to discuss with you.”

“Amitabha, young benefactor is truly a living Bodhisattva!”

Upon seeing this bottle of Medicinal Pills, even the deeply enlightened Great Master Xuwu showed a look of pleasant surprise. After thanking him again, he handed it back to Xuzhu and the other.

“May I ask young benefactor’s esteemed name? Tianlong Temple will forever remember it!”

“This Junior is Ye Bufan!”

Great Master Xuwu raised his white eyebrows: “So it is Medical Immortal Ye! No wonder you can produce such miraculous Medicinal Pills.”

As one of the five Eight-Star Sects, Tianlong Temple also had its own intelligence network, and they had already heard about Ye Bufan defeating Tianqiong Medical Saint.

Ye Bufan did not want to exchange too many pleasantries with him. He spoke directly: “Great Master, I have something I wish to discuss with you.”

“Medical Immortal, please speak!”

“I can help Tianlong Temple resolve this crisis, and even help you advance further, entering the ranks of a Nine Star Sect.

Of course, there are conditions. After the matter is settled, Great Master must perform a divination for me, using the secrets of heaven to inquire about one thing.”

After hearing Ye Bufan’s words, Great Master Xuwu’s expression changed dramatically. Even with his steady Heart-Nature, he was shocked.

Currently, Tianlong Temple had been besieged by the Demonic Sect’s Formation for over half a month, with no way to break it, yet the Young man before him claimed he could help them break the deadlock.

If it was just this, it would be understandable, as it was still within reason.

But to say he could help Tianlong Temple advance to a Nine Star Sect in a short time was completely impossible, something even an Immortal could not do.

If Ye Bufan hadn’t just helped Tianlong Temple avert the crisis, he would have truly thought he had met a madman.

Taking a deep breath, Great Master Xuwu asked: “Young benefactor, is what you said true?”

Ye Bufan said: “Of course, not a single word is false.”

Great Master Xuwu clasped his hands: “Amitabha, but this old monk truly cannot believe it!”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, then with a flick of his wrist, a golden fruit appeared in his palm, imbued with a flowing Buddha charm.

“Great Master, do you believe me now?”

Seeing the golden bell buddha fruit in his hand, Great Master Xuwu’s eyes instantly widened, his face filled with shock.

Not only him, but the surrounding monks also showed expressions of shock. The golden bell buddha fruit, the supreme Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure of Buddhism—how could they not recognize it?

The reason for Tianlong Temple’s decline was, firstly, the severe losses of powerful Cultivators in the last great war, and secondly, the increasingly scarce cultivation resources, making advancement to the Great Ascension Stage seem distant and uncertain.

But with the golden bell buddha fruit, everything would be different. This item had an unimaginable effect on monks who Cultivate Buddhist Cultivation Techniques.

“Amitabha!”

Great Master Xuwu recited a Buddhist chant loudly: “This old monk believes it, and accepts the young benefactor’s condition.”

But then he showed a puzzled expression, “Young benefactor, with the Demonic Sect surrounding us and eyeing us covetously, advancing to the Great Ascension Stage is not something that can happen in a short while. I’m afraid there isn’t enough time!”

Ye Bufan asked: “Just now, I heard Great Master Faxiang say that the Celestial Buddha Pagoda is originally a Buddhist sacred object. If Tianlong Temple has a Great Ascension Stage expert in charge, they can immediately break the Dark Night Demon Formation outside. Is that correct?”

Great Master Xuwu nodded: “What you said is true. As long as this old monk can Breakthrough to the Great Ascension Stage, even if it’s just the Early Stage, I can instantly turn the demons outside into ashes.”

“Then there’s no problem. I will help the Great Master improve his cultivation now.”

Ye Bufan said, putting away the golden bell buddha fruit, and then took out another golden Medicinal Pill.
