Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 100

This voice was incredibly serene.

At the same time, it seemed as if thousands of Buddhist chants and scriptures were being recited, guiding souls to transcendence.

If an ordinary person, or even a typical saint, were to hear it, they would be unable to resist falling into it, enchanted by the voice, and would be converted to Buddhism, becoming a protector.

But the Great White Bone Saint, being a powerful Great Saint and a giant of his era, naturally would not be swayed by mere sound.

“Boom!”

His gaze turned cold, and a terrifying wave of energy erupted, surging forth and directly shattering the voice.

Then, his gaze turned to look.

There, beneath the demon palace, in a deep abyss filled with countless seas of corpses, sat an unparalleled and exquisite Bodhisattva Heavenly Maiden.

She sat cross-legged on a white lotus platform, her hands forming a lotus mudra. At the center of her forehead was a red lotus mark, and her face was flawlessly beautiful, exuding a serene Buddhist aura.

Behind her, a Bodhisattva’s manifestation appeared, with a thousand hands and a thousand weapons. Each arm, white and jade-like, held a Buddhist artifact.

White divine light spread out, and golden light shone brilliantly, accompanied by the apparitions of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, chanting thousands of Buddhist hymns.

It was as if a Buddhist kingdom had descended.

Boom!

In this abyss, countless corpses, numbering in the billions, emitted overwhelming fiendish energy. Along with the wailing of countless lingering souls, they trapped her within.

Not only that, but in all directions, there were great formations that could easily trap a Great Saint. These formations were interconnected, forming an unparalleled deadly array.

Terrifying waves of energy continuously erupted, and the immense power of the deadly array surged, pressing down and eroding that Buddhist kingdom.

“Heavenly Maiden Qingyin of Mount Sumeru, you can barely protect yourself now, and you still wish to convert me?”

The Great White Bone Saint’s gaze flickered as he stared at the exquisite Heavenly Maiden, coldly laughing.

This was one of the most outstanding prodigies of the Buddhist Sect, qualified to attain a status equivalent to that of a Buddha’s disciple. Her future achievements would at least be that of a Quasi-Emperor level Buddha.

The Heavenly Maiden Qingyin before him was one of the most exceptional maidens of Mount Sumeru.

“Daoist friend, do not persist in your delusion. Although you have trapped me for now, the Buddhas of Mount Sumeru will soon sense it. Once a Buddha takes action, no matter how great your divine powers, you will be killed!”

The Heavenly Maiden Qingyin lowered her eyes, speaking softly, her tone filled with endless compassion.

“Hahaha. Heavenly Maiden Qingyin, there’s no need to scare me. What of the Buddhas? Do you really think I want to capture you? To tell you the truth, there is a high-ranking individual from the Crimson Blood Imperial Court who desires you. I am merely bait to lure you into the trap!”

“Believe me, it won’t be long before a few of your Daoist friends will come to capture you. At that time, I am quite curious to see how the most esteemed Heavenly Maiden of Mount Sumeru, who has glimpsed the supreme Buddhist Dharma, will perform on the bed!”

The Great White Bone Saint coldly laughed, his gaze sweeping over the Heavenly Maiden Qingyin’s exquisite face, filled with compassion and Buddhist aura, feeling a stir of desire within him.

Unfortunately, she was desired by that high-ranking individual from the Crimson Blood Imperial Court, and he could not touch her.

“…… So it is him. The sea of suffering is boundless. Turn back ashore. Why be so attached to mere physical form?”

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Maiden Qingyin’s expression changed slightly. She gently raised her eyebrows and sighed, filled with sorrow.

It was as if she sighed for the people who were sinking into the sea of desire.

“Hmph!”

In response, the Great White Bone Saint merely snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to her. At the same time, his gaze flickered as he thought of Su Changsheng, and a surge of murderous intent rose within him.

He very much wanted to kill him.

But then he recalled Su Changsheng’s earlier words, and a sense of apprehension arose within him.

If Su Changsheng were to come after him, he alone would indeed not be a match for him.

“Roar…”

At this moment, from the distant sky, an earth-shattering dragon’s roar echoed, accompanied by waves of terrifying aura, causing the Great White Bone Saint to reveal a look of joy.

“Hahaha! Heavenly Maiden Qingyin, your welcoming party has arrived. Soon, you will go to serve your benefactor!” The Great White Bone Saint laughed heartily as he stroked his hand.

The Heavenly Maiden Qingyin’s expression remained unchanged. She simply lowered her eyebrows and continued to chant Buddhist scriptures, her sanctity unmatched, with boundless Buddhist light radiating from her.

Boom!

Quickly, a celestial dragon soared through the sky, traversing billions of miles in an instant, and then appeared before him, transforming into a young man with dragon horns. Additionally, several other figures followed by his side.

Each of them exuded the might of a Great Saint.

“White Bone greets the Third Highness!”

Upon seeing the young man with dragon horns, the Great White Bone Saint showed a respectful expression and stepped forward to speak.

“White Bone has not failed Your Highness’s expectations. I have successfully trapped the Heavenly Maiden Qingyin, and now that Your Highness is here, she can be captured!”

“Hahaha, good, good, good! White Bone, this prince knew he wasn’t wrong about you. Well done! From now on, you will be a guest official of Prince Shenwu’s Residence!”

The young man with dragon horns laughed heartily, patting the Great White Bone Saint on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Upon hearing this, the Great White Bone Saint was overjoyed and quickly knelt on one knee.

King Shenwu was a giant of the Crimson Blood Imperial Court, a hegemon at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

And the young man before him was one of his sons.

“Qingyin, long time no see!”

The young man with dragon horns ignored him and instead looked at the trapped Heavenly Maiden Qingyin, a smile on his lips, exuding the demeanor of a noble gentleman.

However, the burning greed in his eyes betrayed his true intentions.

“Ever since our last meeting, I have been thinking about you day and night and was unable to sleep. I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Please forgive me, Qingyin!”

The young man with dragon horns continued.

“Sigh. Daoist friend, why cling to worldly desires? Qingyin is devoted to Buddhism, seeking only to attain the Buddha’s fruit position and guide people to the Western Pure Land.”

The Heavenly Maiden Qingyin sighed, lowering her gaze.

“This physical body is but a mundane vessel, destined to decay and wither. Why be infatuated with it and fall into a lower path?”

“Good, good, good! As expected of a Heavenly Maiden of Buddhism, you possess great wisdom and determination. Unfortunately, this prince is indeed infatuated with the physical form. Since you are unwilling, I will have to take you by force!”

Upon hearing this, the young man with dragon horns laughed loudly, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the Heavenly Maiden Qingyin.

“Take action!”

The young man with dragon horns looked at the several Great Saints behind him and commanded with a wave of his hand.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The Great Saints stepped forward and immediately unleashed their overwhelming saintly might. Each reached out with a giant hand, grasping the entire abyss, and then tore and sliced through the very fabric of space itself.

In the end, the space spanning tens of thousands of miles was torn apart, along with numerous formations, making it look like a fragmented small world.

This scene caused the Heavenly Maiden Qingyin’s expression to change slightly. The other party intended to take the entire deadly land with them.

If that happened, she would have no chance of escaping.

Once she reached Prince Shenwu’s Residence, no matter how great her abilities were, she would be at their mercy, unable to escape.

It seemed she had no other choice!

The Heavenly Maiden Qingyin sighed inwardly, and the lotus mudra in her hands quietly shifted. She naturally had a trump card to escape, but the cost was immense and would harm her foundation. She did not want to use it lightly.

However, given the current situation, she had no other option.

“Your Highness, I have a request. Please assist me!” Just as the Heavenly Maiden Qingyin was about to use her trump card, the Great White Bone Saint spoke to the young man with dragon horns.

“Speak! You have rendered such great service. As long as it is not too excessive, this prince will grant it!”

The young man with dragon horns, feeling elated, readily agreed without a second thought.

“It is like this…”

The Great White Bone Saint was overjoyed and immediately recounted the matter of Su Changsheng.

“A Great Saint dares to claim he will kill you?”

The young man with dragon horns looked somewhat puzzled. He glanced at the Great White Bone Saint with a hint of doubt.

“I know for a fact that you managed to escape from a peak Great Saint. Why are you so apprehensive about an ordinary Great Saint?!”

Upon hearing this, the Great White Bone Saint gave a bitter smile.

His so-called escape from a peak Great Saint was greatly exaggerated; the other party simply did not take him seriously.

Su Changsheng, however, was different. Not only was he powerful, but his sphere of influence was also close to the Great White Bone Saint’s territory. They would inevitably cross paths unless he abandoned his own forces.

But he, the Great White Bone Saint, could he really be frightened by a mere Great Saint into abandoning his foundation and fleeing?
