Chapter 1262 - Chapter 1262 Chapter 554 Treasure Appearance Arhat

Chapter 1262: Chapter 554: Treasure Appearance Arhat Chapter 1262: Chapter 554: Treasure Appearance Arhat Although he asked, Tang Luo wasn’t particularly hopeful about Lu Shaolin coming through.

After all, the request was extremely challenging. The drainage system was designed by Yun Zu, utilizing half of the solidified Minor Spiritual Realm, and some of the methods employed could only be performed by someone at the level of King Realm.

He had approached Lu Shaolin mostly hoping that, through the face of this Master Shaolin, they could summon the resources of Yulin Pavilion, perhaps needing someone from King Realm to right the tipping scales.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the details, Lu Shaolin’s eyes brightened, and he could hardly contain his delight, “You mean to say, by repairing this evolution system, we can eradicate the epidemic?”

“Hmm…”

Tang Luo, still unsure why Lu Shaolin was elated, patiently replied, “It would cut off the biggest source of transmission, but the number of infected in Chaochang is on the rise, and the routes of infection are also increasing, so the key question afterwards is how to save those who have the disease.”

“I see,” acknowledged Lu Shaolin as he explained to the man named Gou Chen, “At the time, in order to persuade me to set up the grand spell, the Xiang Family spared no expense and even offered the design blueprints of the drainage system as compensation. After two years of studying it, I have mastered Chaochang’s drainage system like the back of my hand. Give me no more than two days, and I will have this purification system repaired!”

“In that case, I entrust this task to Master Shaolin.”

Gou Chen nodded earnestly, “For the next two days, I will work with Master Gu Han to set up an isolation zone in the Lower City District, doing our best to contain the spread of the disease.”

Lu Shaolin nodded, then gave Gou Chen and Gu Han an extra glance with an apparently puzzled notion, before transforming into a beam of Spiritual Light and disappearing.

Gu Han, who thought he was doomed, watched Gou Chen coax away Wang Chang and persuade Lu Shaolin in mere moments and felt an unreal sensation, “They’re just going to leave like that?”

“What else?” Tang Luo replied indifferently, “Not everyone in the world is like the An Clan who only thinks about how to consolidate their own power. There are sects with integrity and obligations. Compared to flattering the sanctimonious, saving the world is obviously more important.”

“Should we leave now?”

Gu Han asked Tang Luo, “Wang Chang will not give up easily, and with the speed at which the Dutian Heavenly King’s intelligence network operates, it won’t be long before they relay this information back to Hanging Sky City. If we stay in Chaochang, there might be trouble!”

“You make a good point,”

Tang Luo said hesitantly, “But if we pull out now, the civilians of the Lower City District might lose their linchpin. Let’s stay two more days! After the isolation zones are set up and everything is clearly explained, then we’ll leave Chaochang.”

“Hmm…”

Corpse Monk Gu Han, blessed with the Peeper of Prophecy, was extraordinarily sensitive to dangers, but this time was different. Amid the chaos of divine intelligence, even his supernatural abilities felt dulled.

So he also didn’t know if staying another two days was the right decision or not. Struggling internally for a while, he finally decided to obey his True Heart, “Then let’s stay another two days!”

At present, the control of the epidemic among the citizens in the Lower City District mainly relied upon Gu Han’s five hundred Corpse Refiners and Yanshan’s Cihang Treasure Light. These two were the main forces. The departure of any one of them would collapse the hard-maintained situation in the Lower City District instantly.

Now that the Corpse Monk Gu Han, with his Zen Heart clear and pure, would naturally not shirk his responsibility at such a time.

It’s only two days, it shouldn’t be too serious, Gu Han reassured himself while discussing with Tang Luo how to divide the isolation zone, then they set out to act separately.

…

Why the Chaochang epidemic is terrifying

Because in the eyes of ordinary people, the concept of contagion is very hard to grasp, and isolation seems to them a great dishonor.

People weakened by the disease become especially sensitive and irritable, and those they hurt first are those closest to them.

In a family of five, the moment any one member catches the disease, all five become patients.

Adults could endure the epidemic’s effects for three to five days, while children often suffered unbearable pain and couldn’t get up after just a day or two.

Therefore, in the quarantine zones of the Lower City District, one could see men and women everywhere holding their children who had lost consciousness.

They knelt before the quarantine barriers, praying that the doctors inside would save their children, but most of the time, the only response they received was a cold refusal.

Due to the shortage of herbs and the deepening of the poison, limited resources naturally had to be used to save those who were still alive.

For instance, some young adults who had just contracted the disease, some martial artists with a foundation in martial arts, in this natural disaster, the elderly and children naturally became the most vulnerable group.

Look at the bent bodies on the streets, either aged or young boys and girls; the once bustling streets now only echoed with wails.

Yet, in this boundless darkness, there was still a sun named Cihang Treasure Light, not sparing its own light, wanting to save everyone.

But this was ultimately an unrealistic dream. Yanshan had already forgotten how many times his Spiritual Power had been exhausted.

Every time he sat down to regulate his breath and then stood up again, there would be many more people around him; he could no longer see the end of the crowd, but he could see the desire in these people’s eyes.

They wanted to live, just to live.

The group of humble people prostrating in front of him praised not the teachings of Buddha, but the light of the living.

Good and evil seemed rather trivial in front of this instinct to survive.

Yanshan finally understood why, in the Buddha’s Country with eighty thousand scriptures, they only seek to cross themselves and not others.

The enlightened Buddha Son Yanshan decided to achieve the Arhat enlightenment today.

“The sun shines over three thousand realms, but will eventually face extinction one day.”

The monk, beautiful as a celestial being, smiled radiantly, “It turns out that by crossing oneself, one crosses others too!”

With the first step arose three thousand lotuses, and with the second step, a great chant of Brahma was sung. Yanshan, whose Spiritual Power was struggling to continue, gladly accepted the Arhat Fruit Rank.

A golden-hued Treasure Appearance Arhat emerged from Yanshan’s heart and instantly transformed into a huge Buddha ten zhang tall, seated on a cloud platform, scattering infinite Cihang Treasure Light, exterminating the disease from the people.

Seeing this Treasure Appearance Arhat emerge, Gu Han, who was eliminating the epidemic in South City, had tears streaming down his face.

Tang Luo, who was meeting with the White Tiger Seven Stars, also saw the Arhat seated on the clouds, and his forehead furrowed involuntarily.

“Such a magnificent Treasure Appearance Arhat, with a white tuft between his eyebrows and eyelashes like those of the King of Cows, eyes deep blue, his upper body as straight as a lion, his golden body radiantly shining, although it holds the Arhat Fruit Rank, it seems it may even surpass the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra Gold Body of the ten directions!”

Tang Baichuan, wearing a Kuixu mask, looked at the Arhat’s golden body in the clouds and could not help but exclaim in admiration.

“What a pity…”

Tang Luo sighed, then turned his head to ask the others, “Does anyone know how the situation is in the Nangang Clan Territory, whether it has been affected by the epidemic?”

“Don’t worry.”

Tang Baichuan transmitted to Tang Luo, “Tang Yao is very capable. He blocked several sources of living water as soon as the epidemic broke out. Now, the outer city has the most clean water owned by Nangang!”

“It’s you though, the clan leader said that you cannot use your old identity for now, today you will leave Chaochang with us.”
