Chapter 83: Encountering Void Realm, the Meat-Eating Buddhist

The Wangxian Inn in White Stone City had become the temporary base for the Wenxian Sect.

Although it was called an inn, it had its own unique features inside, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi was far superior to the outside world; it was clearly not cheap.

After settling down, Zhou Chen first politely declined Liu Qianru's kind invitation to discuss sword techniques.

Then, strolling out of the inn, Zhou Chen intended to take a good look at this prosperous White Stone City.

Ever since his Transmigration, he hadn't seen such a large-scale city; he had either been cooped up in the mountains of the Wenxian Sect cultivating, or licking blood from the edge of a blade in various wilderness areas and Secret Realms. It was his first time entering a city as a mountain dweller.

Just after walking past two street corners, while Zhou Chen was looking around, a loud voice came from behind him.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist, please stay! This poor monk observes that you have restrained aura, a steady gait, and are faintly protected by Buddha light. You are surely someone with an affinity with my Buddha!"

Zhou Chen turned his head and saw a round, bald monk looking at him with a smile.

He was not tall, wearing a washed-out kasaya, with a slightly protruding belly and a greasy face.

When his eyes narrowed, they were just slits. He looked a bit sleazy; it was more of a feeling of a fat nerd rather than a high-ranking monk.

Zhou Chen subconsciously checked his opportunity panel.

[Name: Void Realm.]

[Cultivation: Core Formation Level 10.]

[fate: Ancient Buddha Reincarnation, astonishing Comprehension Ability, surviving great disasters, Immovable Wisdom King Physique.]

[Destiny: Reincarnation of an Ancient True Buddha, the true Buddhist son of the Heavenly Dragon Temple, dharma name "Void Realm", eventually stopping at the Holy Land Level 9, serving as the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Buddha Holy Land, honored as the Small Mi Holy Buddha, passing away in the Heavenly Buddha Holy Land.]

[Recent Opportunity: Three days later, at the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition arena stage, he will play the pig to eat the tiger, revealing part of his strength to defeat the chief Disciple of the Yin Mountain Sect, obtaining the Heaven Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique "Immovable Wisdom King Seal" bestowed by the upper echelon of the Heavenly Dragon Temple.]

[Ancient Buddha Reincarnation (Gold): Reincarnation of an Ancient True Buddha, Cultivating Buddhist dharma is like eating and drinking, with rapid progress.]

[Astonishing Comprehension Ability (Purple): Superb Comprehension Ability, easily comprehending various Cultivation Techniques.]

[Surviving Great Disasters (Blue): Always able to survive great disasters when encountering danger, Turning Misfortune into Blessing.]

[Immovable Wisdom King Physique (Purple): Special Physique, rapid progress in Cultivating Buddhist body-protecting Cultivation Techniques, with power increased by 30%.]

The fat monk's panel made Zhou Chen's heart stir slightly.

The Heavenly Dragon Temple had such a grand plan; the true Buddhist son was actually him. He didn't expect him to be hidden so deeply, and he didn't know what he was plotting.

"Great Master, you flatter me."

Zhou Chen cupped his hands, his expression calm.

"I am Zhou Chen, a Disciple of the Wenxian Sect. May I ask how to address you, Great Master?"

"This poor monk is Void Realm, just a small monk from the Heavenly Dragon Temple! Just call me Void Realm."

Void Realm laughed heartily and familiarly leaned in toward Zhou Chen.

"So it is Fellow Daoist Zhou from the Wenxian Sect! What fate! Let's go, let's go, meeting is fated, this poor monk knows of a barbecue place ahead, the taste is superb, this poor monk will treat!"

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to refuse, Void Realm enthusiastically led him toward an elegant pavilion by the street.

"Great Master Void Realm, doesn't your Heavenly Dragon Temple abstain from meat?"

Zhou Chen's face was covered in black lines; he didn't actually repel this fat monk, finding him quite interesting.

"They don't eat it, but I do! As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. But you must not betray me!"

Seated in a private room, several exquisite meat dishes were served. Void Realm ate heartily without standing on ceremony, speaking indistinctly while eating.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you came to this White Stone City, surely it is also for the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition, right? Hehe, this is a grand event in the Southern Region that happens once every hundred years, gathering Geniuses! This poor monk happens to have nothing to do, so let me tell you about it…"

He gulped down some Spiritual Qi tea, wiped his mouth, and his eyes shone.

"First, let's talk about your Wenxian Sect. The strongest is not Wei Yan, but Liu Qianru, Fairy Liu! Tsk tsk, I reckon she's at Core Formation Level 9, right? The undisputed number one of the younger generation of the Wenxian Sect, her "Ice Soul Cold Light Sword" is sharp and peerless!"

"Then there is the Green Mountain Sect, the Core Formation Level 10 Genius Jian Wuxin! This guy is a bore, holding his sword all day long. It is said that his sword heart is clear; he is likely one of the strongest in the younger generation of the Southern Region, with unparalleled attack power, ruthless in his strikes, just like his name!"

Zhou Chen listened with interest.

"The Yellow Maple Valley has someone named Han Li, heh, mysterious. No one can be sure of his Cultivation; he is as slippery as a loach, and opponents targeted by him have a hard time!"

After three rounds of drinks, the fat man spoke even more enthusiastically.

"As for our Heavenly Dragon Temple, my Senior Brother Xu Ming is the Buddhist son, Core Formation Level 10, the protective golden light of the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" is indeed something… Uh!"

Void Realm realized he had spoken too freely and quickly changed his words.

"And there is Bai Tingting from the Emei Grotto! Tsk tsk, she is also a beauty, Core Formation Level 9. However, the "Cixi Pudu Sutra" she Cultivates can make people fall into an infinite illusion, and her mental attacks are impossible to guard against; even this poor monk gets nervous watching her."

"On the Demonic Path side, Fu Jiuyou of the Yellow Springs Sect, Leng Rushuang of the Blood Drinking Sect, Mo Li of the Ruthless Valley, all are experts…"

Speaking to the end, Void Realm's expression became slightly serious.

"But if you want to talk about the most terrifying of the younger generation of the Demonic Path, it has to be the scourge of the Blood Demon Sect, Blood Wuhen! His Cultivation has already reached Core Formation Level 10! The Mystic Heaven Demon Body is incomparably domineering. It is rumored that not long ago, in the Buddhist Holy Land Secret Realm, he fought a mysterious expert to a mutual injury… Cough, anyway, when you encounter him, Fellow Daoist Zhou, you must be careful! If you go up against him, I'm afraid even Fairy Liu would struggle!"

Void Realm commented with flying saliva, and Zhou Chen memorized these names and strengths one by one.

When Void Realm mentioned Blood Wuhen, Zhou Chen's expression was a bit strange, wondering that he wasn't injured, so where did the mutual injury come from?

However, Blood Wuhen's rapid progress in Cultivation was indeed a strong enemy.

"Many thanks for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Void Realm, I have noted it down."

The two chatted a few more times about the secrets and anecdotes of the various sects in the Southern Region.

When leaving the restaurant, Zhou Chen and this fat monk actually felt quite compatible.

Just as he was walking side by side with Void Realm on a side road with fewer people, a warning sign suddenly arose in Zhou Chen's heart!

A cold and gloomy aura came from the intersection ahead.

Looking up, he saw a group of figures dressed in scarlet blood robes turning out from the opposite street.

The leader was tall, his face covered by a ferocious bronze ghost mask; it was Blood Wuhen.

Blood Wuhen's gaze was looking around aimlessly, and naturally, he also saw Zhou Chen and Void Realm.

Upon seeing Zhou Chen, Blood Wuhen's eyes condensed, staring fixedly at Zhou Chen, and his Mystic Heaven Demon Body was frantically warning him.

"This person… why does he have a familiar feeling?"

The brows under Blood Wuhen's mask were tightly locked, and a fierce blood-evil aura was released uncontrollably, causing several Blood Demon Sect Disciples beside him to show fear.

He wanted to step forward to investigate, but he was also a bit hesitant, afraid it was his own illusion.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Blood, nice to meet you! In this White Stone City, life is truly full of coincidences!"

Void Realm reacted extremely quickly. Feeling Blood Wuhen's gaze, he calmly stepped forward half a step, blocking Zhou Chen behind him to the side, a smile piled up on his fat face, and he announced a Buddhist name to Blood Wuhen and the others.
