Chapter 1120: Chapter 697 Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Bright King

Shen Yi had discussed with Qinghua before, about his current awkward predicament.

Unless he truly cast everything aside, sought no contention nor desire, finding a haven to live an ascetic life like a cloud or crane, there was no choice but to wade through muddy waters.

Seeing how things are developing, it seems the entire Human World has been pulled into the fray.

Not to mention cultivating all the way, only to die lonely in some desolate mountain, that would leave one questioning what was it all for.

Even if it were truly feasible.

He could solve the troubles plaguing him, escape Hongze, slay Zi Ling, cut down Qingluan, and emerge unscathed today thanks to favors he owed to many.

By retreating, Hongze surely would have no one left for protection.

Among the lands of the Shen Zhou, General Yan Lanting had once helped repel the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, who is now recuperating from severe injuries, and the main forces of Wushan lay incapacitated here; if Shen Yi were to leave, then the nine prefectures of Great Nan Continent would have only Ye Lan left to watch over them.

The grace of Master Zhi Kong’s transmitted teachings, elevating him to Seventh Grade, and even concealing the matter of the Dragon Tiger Scripture, ended with him becoming a black-haired beast under the Bodhisattva’s seat.

Given these circumstances, the seemingly idyllic retreat seems both dull and despicable.

When he had nothing to his name, he dared to extend his arm in front of the Canine Demon, and now, with his cultivation reaching the Taiyin True Immortal, Great Arhat, and bearing the Fourth Grade Immortal Official’s Leopard Seal, after his journey of slaughter, he finally gained some confidence, but now under such conditions, he contemplates retracting his outstretched arm?

Could this mean one who goes barefoot loses courage upon donning shoes?

Shen Yi, aware that the Bodhisattva was nearby, pondered for a long time amidst the Taixu Realm, and despite Qi Feng God General’s absence, he still chose to walk out in the end.

Since he was unwilling to retreat and hide, and had chosen to wade through the murky waters, perhaps it was time to cast off the shoes from his feet.

Why not join every faction, incite mutual interference, and as long as he himself is not awkward, it is the others who will be.

Shen Yi had some self-awareness in that regard.

Whether it be Taixu Golden Core Dao Fruit or the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Fruit Position of Three Thousand Tribulations, they were all prime talents that these gods, buddhas, and Immortal Venerables wouldn’t possibly give up.

Indeed, after hearing Shen Yi’s rather defiant words, the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva did not become angered.

He sat on the Lotus Platform, meditating with eyes closed.

The Bodhisattva wasn’t pondering whether to accept this Arhat of Three Thousand Tribulations, for entities at their pinnacle of heaven and earth, whatever one’s former identity was or whether they harbored hidden motives, it was irrelevant.

Because no matter what, the other party lacked the power to defy.

What he was considering was what status to grant the other.

"Present your Fruit Position for the conferral."

After a long while, the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva opened his eyes and slowly raised a palm, thereby recognizing Shen Yi’s argument.

"Disciple pays respects to Bodhisattva."

Shen Yi finally turned, palms joined, without a shred of hesitation, a streak of Jin Guang arose from within the Lotus Platform of his body, surging out from the crown of his Golden Body, condensing midair into an amber orb adorned with inscrutable symbols.

The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva scrutinized the symbols on the Fruit Position, he was evidently able to decipher it.

Moments later, his expression became much more solemn, and his voice deepened, "Today, I shall usher you into our Great Sect, bestowing the title Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Bright King."

The term ’Great Bright King’ suggests the wrath of Buddha.

Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing are the name of this Fruit Position.

This title, from beginning to end, had nothing to do with the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva.

Shen Yi’s previous actions had spawned a hint of wariness in the heart of this Bodhisattva; he was not fearful of being betrayed, for no ferocious beast could break free from the chains of his supreme methods, what he worried about was whether with this person’s temperament, he could cause trouble outside.

He did not take him as a protector disciple but introduced him to the Bodhi Sect under its name.

If there is merit, it would be his own credit as the guide; if there is a fault, there would be an explanation to say it is unrelated to him.

"Disciple thanks the Venerable for the conferment."

Shen Yi slightly lifted his gaze, watching the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva’s raised palm, and the quietly descending, radiant dots merging into his own Fruit Position.

Simultaneously.

The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva also closely observed the changes in Shen Yi’s demeanor.

How could any Cultivator tolerate his hard-earned achievements being meddled with by others, feeling resistance was inevitable.

But it had to depend on the degree; too much resistance would indicate excessive obstinance. If so, the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva would have to reconsider whether the chain dropping down was thick enough, or if more were needed to bind and even entangle the limbs to make them obedient.

If not necessary, he would be unwilling to do so.

After all, if tied too tightly, the other would lose the ability to flex his might, then why recruit them into the sect? It defeats the purpose.

But what the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva did not expect was how eerily calm Shen Yi was, as if well-prepared, showing no resistance, not even a hint of dissatisfaction.

Once that radiant dot had fully merged into the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Fruit Position.

Shen Yi’s body suddenly underwent a transformation, seeing his Golden Body’s sturdy spine, the muscular lines like undulating mountains, instantly bulging four traces, as if a dragon raising its head.

Puchi—

Hands forcefully drilled out from the torn flesh, four bulges shot forth, turning into four strong arms!

Shen Yi’s body slightly twitched, until those four arms were fully formed.

With the Dragon and Tiger heads on the left and right, and four arms grown from his back.

He breathed out softly, and his already majestic Dharma Body directly transformed into a three-headed six-armed figure, the four arms raised, hands held in a gesture that truly resembled the wrathful aspect of a Great Bright King.
