Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: White Chilong’s Golden Attribute, the Buddha’s Son Returns

Summon left, looking somewhat distracted.

Lü Yang didn’t mind. He knew this Daoist from his past and present lives needed some time to process things. So, he simply continued his seclusion and took out a Glazed Bottle.

[White Chilong’s Golden Attribute]!

This trip to the Dragon Palace had been incredibly lucrative for Lü Yang. The [Profound City Blessed Land] alone had raised his combat prowess by a whole level.

At a thought, the [Centome] materialized before him.

He swallowed it in one gulp!

[Settling experience for ”White Chilong”...]

[You are the Dragon Monarch’s eldest son, the product of his very essence. You were not born from the union of Yin and Yang, but rather from a drop of the Dragon Monarch’s heart’s blood, which granted you Enlightenment and brought you into being.]

Dense lines of text appeared.

Undeniably, as sons of the Dragon Monarch, White Chilong was far stronger than Celestial Python. This was perhaps because White Chilong’s origins were much more profound.

’Strictly speaking, White Chilong isn’t really the Dragon Monarch’s son. He’s more like a clone, one that developed its own consciousness and a relatively independent Soul... That’s why his bloodline is almost identical to the Dragon Monarch’s, far surpassing Celestial Python’s, and why his strength was top-tier even among those at Foundation Establishment Perfection!’

But alas, Heaven is jealous of great talent.

’The Four Great Forces were fishing in the Overseas, and White Chilong had no way to escape. He could only obediently walk onto the dining table and make a desperate, heaven-defying struggle... A pity he still couldn’t break free from his fate in the end.’

The Dragon Monarch’s eldest son, tragically carved up and devoured.

’...Hm?’

Suddenly, Lü Yang’s gaze shifted. White Chilong’s talent far surpassed Celestial Python’s, so the Perfected Lords the Four Great Forces dispatched to devour him were also stronger.

’In the previous life, the strongest cultivators who came to devour Celestial Python were only at the Middle Stage of Golden Core. Although Ang Xiao was at the Late Stage of Golden Core, he was confined to the Netherworld and didn’t truly make a move, which was why the Dragon Monarch was able to put up a fight... However, during White Chilong’s turn, the Dragon Monarch didn’t even dare to twitch.’

He could only watch as White Chilong was carved up.

Why?

Lü Yang found the answer in the memories settled by the [Centome]: ’Because at that time... a Great Perfected Lord at the Late Stage of Golden Core was personally present!’

’A Great Perfected Lord from the Sword Pavilion!’

”His name was... [True Monarch Gangxing]!”

Unlike Ang Xiao, who was trapped in the Netherworld, this Great Perfected Lord could act without restraint. The Dragon Monarch didn’t dare to confront him head-on.

Otherwise, if the man struck with his sword, a dragon could have truly died!

Just as Lü Yang committed the Sword Pavilion Great Perfected Lord’s Honorary Title to memory, the [Centome] finally burst forth with a brilliant golden light.

[You have obtained Golden Talent · Dragon-Stripping Platform!]

[Dragon-Stripping Platform: This is a Talent Skill nurtured by blood and hatred. It recreates the scene of White Chilong being carved up, allowing you to seal a person’s life and Qi.]

...

While Lü Yang was in seclusion, Summon stood outside the Cave Mansion, no longer able to hide the shock and rage in his heart. His entire face was slightly twisted.

’What is this damned place, this damned place...’

Who the hell was scheming against him?

’If there’s a mastermind behind the [Spirit Ruins Blessed Land], then what about my *Ten Thousand Spirits Returning to Ruins Dao Scripture*? Did I really manage to escape the [World Ruins Realm] back then?’

Or am I still in the [World Ruins Realm]?

Still on that dining table, being carved up by a Perfected Lord?

”...Bastard!”

Summon gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to face reality, yet he had no choice but to. A fire seemed to be blazing in his chest, threatening to burn through his very organs.

However, at that very moment, a voice asked, ”Daoist, why so distressed?” Summon looked up to see a handsome, relaxed-looking Daoist walking toward him. Summon didn’t recognize the man, nor could he divine any of his karmic links.

”And you might be... Daoist?”

”I am Nameless.”

Progenitor Tingyou shook his head. He still had some small renown in this world. Fortunately, after being cleansed by the [Centome], he was without cause or effect, so no one could see through him. But if he were to announce his true name, that would be another matter entirely and could easily bring trouble to Lü Yang.

”Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nameless.” Summon clasped his hands in a salute.

Despite the grief and indignation raging in his heart, Summon forcibly suppressed it. After all, this was how he had survived for hundreds of years; he was used to it.

”Greetings to you as well, Daoist.”

Progenitor Tingyou returned the salute, then clapped Summon on the shoulder and said softly, ”Actually, Daoist, you don’t need to trouble yourself over so many things right now.”

”If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.”

”Even if you do nothing, Daoist, someone will handle it for you.”

Summon was taken aback by his words, and then his eyes brightened slightly. ’That’s right. If Lü Yang didn’t intend to help me solve my problems, why would he have broken my Illusion Barrier?’

But soon, a worried look appeared on his face.

”That may be so, but I have yet to make any contribution. It’s inevitable that...”

As the saying goes, no reward without merit.

In this damned place, free things were the most expensive. Rather than accepting handouts from Lü Yang, Summon would feel more at ease relying on what he earned through his own efforts.

Besides, if he could make a contribution, he figured Lü Yang might be a little more dedicated when offering him guidance.

At this moment, Summon had only one thought: he was desperate to improve!

Seeing this, Progenitor Tingyou smiled faintly, then took a Talisman from his robes and tossed it into Summon’s hand. ”Take it. This is for you.”

”Hm?”

Summon held the Talisman in his hand.

The next second, an incredibly dense wave of Incense Smoke surged out from it. Looking up, Summon was stunned to see a Heaven-Covering Banner.

Beneath the Banner, countless phantoms emerged: bustling streets, cities of all sizes, and innumerable mortals. From each mortal, a wisp of thought extended, accumulating bit by bit, like grains of sand forming a pagoda. Finally, it all converged on Summon, causing his Qi trace to instantly break through its limits!

Foundation Establishment Perfection!

Almost simultaneously, Progenitor Tingyou also broke through to Foundation Establishment Perfection under the blessing of the Incense, then turned his gaze to stare out at the distant sea.

”Since you wish to listen, Daoist, why hide so far away and eavesdrop?”

”Why not come closer and listen openly?”

Progenitor Tingyou’s voice rode the tide, cutting through the waves as it spread. Before long, a figure appeared on the horizon.

The person wore monk’s robes that billowed in the wind. He looked unremarkable, like any Little Novice Monk you might find in the Pure Land in the West. But behind him hovered a towering Golden Buddha Statue riding a Six-tusked White Elephant. The elephant held a white lotus in its mouth, and the statue sat upright, its hands held in the Sealing Demon Seal.

”Who’s there!?”

Summon’s expression changed instantly. The person had gotten this close, yet until that very moment, his Divine Sense hadn’t detected a thing!

You had to understand, after surviving by the skin of his teeth Overseas for so many years, his greatest skill was observation with his Divine Sense.

The slightest disturbance would trigger a warning in his mind.

Even a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection shouldn’t have been able to approach without him noticing something... Yet this person’s appearance had caught him completely off guard!

But he quickly came to his senses.

After all, in the world today, who didn’t know that the Bhagavat of the Pure Land had sent another Buddha’s Son to ”dynamite fish”? Who would dare not to commit the Dharma Appearance of the Buddha’s Son to memory?

Thus, even in the barbaric and information-starved Overseas, it was hard not to recognize him. Even if you didn’t recognize the person, you would recognize that Dharma Appearance.

’[Victorious Will-Born Clarity Tathagata’s World Appearance]...’

The Buddha’s Son, Guang Ming!
