The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1328 - Chapter 1328 Chapter 1427 Ten Thousand Year Ice

Chapter 1328: Chapter 1427: Ten Thousand Year Ice Chapter 1328: Chapter 1427: Ten Thousand Year Ice “Someone is going to slaughter the Buddha?” Shamo’s face was full of confusion, still not understanding what these words meant. In his mind, the Buddha was not to be desecrated, something elusive and intangible, and all beings in the world should respect the Buddha. Who could slaughter the Buddha? Who would dare to slaughter the Buddha?

Ling Chanzi smiled, beckoning to the young monk, who approached Ling Chanzi with hands clasped together in a gesture of respect.

“I have to go out for a while, you stay here and be good. Don’t sneak out to play, do you understand?” Ling Chanzi spoke gently, lightly patting Shamo’s round, bald head.

Upon hearing this, Shamo’s cheeks turned bright red, feeling embarrassed that the Zen master knew about his previous sneaky departures from Boundless Peak to go out and play.

However, Ling Chanzi didn’t hold these matters against him. With a leap, he was standing on a lotus flower, reciting sutras, and drifted away from Boundless Peak.

“Farewell, Zen master,” the young monk bowed deeply, also chanting the Buddha’s name devoutly and respectfully.

The young monk did not see that the few pats on his head from Ling Chanzi had left nine dots of incense scars on his skull.

Buddhist monks, upon taking vows to shave and ordain, all receive six dots of incense scars on their heads in front of the Buddha.

This was a Buddhist Sect tradition–not one that was there from the start, but established later when a certain generation of high monks naturally formed these incense scars atop their heads during ordination. Thus, Buddhist monks also began to mark the scars in front of the Buddha during their head shaving ceremony.

Ordinary monks receive one to three incense dots when they ordain and become novices in the Buddhist Sect.

But Ling Chanzi left nine incense dots on the young monk’s head.

This was extremely significant, as even many high monks with stature within the Buddhist Sect possessed only six incense dots.

Nine incense dots were the mark of a high monk in the Buddhist Sect, identified with great wisdom and perseverance, someone with the potential to become a Buddha.

Ling Chanzi was one of the most esteemed figures in the current Buddhist Sect, with twelve incense dots on his head, just like Buddha Head and Burning Lamp Buddha.

Among those with less than twelve, the high monks with nine incense dots were considered of high rank.

Shamo had only been part of the Buddhist Sect for three or four years and had already received his incense dots, initially just two. Now, it had suddenly increased to nine.

If others in the Buddhist Sect saw this, even those with the purest hearts would likely feel a surge of shock and envy.

Ling Chanzi stepped on the lotus and left, casting one more gentle, smiling glance at the young monk standing atop Boundless Peak.

“In a thousand years, the Buddhist Sect will still need you to shoulder the heavy responsibility.”

…

Heaven King from the East Pole, carrying a black stele, arrived in the territory of the Seven Seas, without joy or sorrow, exuding an unstoppable momentum.

The people from the three sects soon noticed the Heaven King from the East Pole, but they failed to recognize him as the Heaven King from the East Pole.

After all, even in the Nine Countries, the Heaven King from the East Pole was a figure who kept out of sight, let alone in the Seven Seas. While many knew of him, very few could recognize the Heaven King from the East Pole.

“Halt! Who are you? How dare you trespass into the territory of the Seven Seas?” Several figures appeared, blocking the way of the Heaven King from the East Pole, with the leading one issuing a stern warning, his expression vigilant.

The Heaven King from the East Pole did not stop his stride, continuing to charge straight toward them, stepping firmly upon the black stele.

“Court death!” Several people flew into a rage and immediately set out to subdue the scruffy-looking old man.

But to their surprise, the techniques they employed were utterly ineffective, not even reaching the Heaven King of East Pole before dissipating into thin air.

This scene shocked the group and made them realize that something was terribly wrong.

“Make way,” said the Heaven King of East Pole with a faint smile, his figure swiftly charging forward. In an instant, the few who had blocked his path turned into dust, vanishing with the wind.

The three sects faced a significant upheaval and a massive crisis.

…

In the land of magma, Yin Wuyan dodged the relentless pursuit of the guardians. Although she was within the formation and the guardians could always know where she was, blindly fleeing solved nothing.

However, Yin Wuyan had no choice in this place more dangerous than the previous Demon Beast Forest. The area was riddled with volcanoes, with craters everywhere, and the guardians likely had the power to induce volcanic eruptions at will.

Once these volcanoes erupted, the all-encompassing magma flow was too much even for a master like Yin Wuyan to confront directly.

Boom!!!

The familiar sound of eruption thundered as Yin Wuyan looked on helplessly towards the front, seeing indeed that three volcanoes had erupted simultaneously. The magma surged high into the sky, morphing into waves that roared towards her.

This had been a daily occurrence for her in the past few days. Initially panicked and caught off-guard, Yin Wuyan had now found some countermeasures.

With a pat on her Nine Palace Bag at her waist, she produced an object in her hand that was crystal clear and seemed to be ice.

Yin Wuyan threw the object in her hand toward the oncoming magma. Upon collision, the crystal-clear object shattered instantly, releasing a terrifyingly cold air.

The extreme cold met the scorching lava, naturally creating a mutually nullifying effect. The temperature of the lava plummeted rapidly, and the chill also rapidly evaporated and dispersed.

Thus, the magma could no longer pose a threat to Yin Wuyan, allowing her to escape with ease.

“Thank goodness I brought these millennium ices; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome,” Yin Wuyan thought to herself as she glanced back at the magma that was gradually cooling.

However, she soon became concerned again. Although millennium ice could counter the magma, she didn’t bring much. Millennium ice was a rarity, mainly abundant within the Taoist Sect of the Seven Seas, as they possessed a millennium ice peak with an ample supply of it.

The scholar’s sect had little millennium ice to begin with, and Yin Wuyan had practically carried all of it with her.

For now, she still had some millennium ice left, which would suffice for the time being, but once it was exhausted, Yin Wuyan would face an extremely awkward situation.

“I wonder if Fang Lin is still alive or if he has been killed by the guardians here?” Yin Wuyan thought about Fang Lin, but then shook her head, feeling he wouldn’t be so easily slain by the guardians.

“Eh?” Just then, Yin Wuyan suddenly noticed a silhouette sitting cross-legged inside a volcano below.

Yin Wuyan immediately headed downwards to see what was going on.

Buzz!

A sky-piercing blade light surged directly towards Yin Wuyan.
