The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1340 - Chapter 1340 Chapter 1439 Ling Chanzi

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1439: Ling Chanzi Chapter 1340: Chapter 1439: Ling Chanzi “I was nearly killed, this place is truly dangerous, but fortunately, I brought enough Millennium Ice, so I should be able to hold on for a while,” a mild voice with a laugh sounded, as the young man dressed in a cyan Taoist robe flew over.

Yin Wuyan glanced at the person, then quickly withdrew her gaze and asked, “Where’s Little Baldie?”

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist gave a wry smile, “You’re always thinking about him, I don’t seem to exist in your eyes.”

Yin Wuyan curled her lips, “Little Baldie is much more interesting than you.”

The young Taoist sighed and with a face full of helplessness, said, “I don’t know where Little Baldie has gone.”

Yin Wuyan’s brows furrowed slightly, “Didn’t he come here with you?”

The young Taoist shook his head, “No, he didn’t.”

“What a pain,” Yin Wuyan said, somewhat dissatisfied.

The young Taoist smiled and also noticed that Yin Wuyan’s breath was unstable, and she seemed to carry injuries on her body.

“Did you fight with someone?” the young Taoist asked.

“It’s nothing, I just encountered a difficult opponent and was chased by the guardian of this place for a while, with no time to heal,” Yin Wuyan spoke lightly.

The young Taoist wouldn’t think it was that simple. With Yin Wuyan’s strength, it had long been difficult to find an opponent of the same realm, and even against a real Spirit Source Martial Artist, Yin Wuyan had the ability to fight.

An opponent that Yin Wuyan would describe as difficult must be extraordinary.

“Do you need my help?” the young Taoist asked, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes.

Yin Wuyan hummed lightly, “There’s no need.”

“Alright then.” The young Taoist nodded and the brilliance in his eyes faded slightly.

“Have you found the Array Eye?” Yin Wuyan asked.

“Not yet, I think we should find the guardian of this place first, then maybe we’ll get some clues,” the young Taoist said.

“Let’s find a place first, I need to heal. You’ll guard me,” Yin Wuyan commanded in an unquestionable tone.

“Sure, sure, whatever you say,” the young Taoist nodded repeatedly, without the slightest objection.

…

Sea Saint Institute.

The East Pole Heaven King broke through the formation with three strikes, heavily wounding a group of strong figures from the Sea Saint Institute, and even Dean Lu, one of the Minor Longevity figures, was gravely injured, nearly losing his life.

At this moment, Ling Chanzi, who had left Boundless Peak, finally arrived.

Ling Chanzi was dressed in a simple monk’s robe and looked no more than in his twenties, with ordinary appearance and nothing outstanding; if placed among the many monks of the Buddhist Sect, he would definitely be the inconspicuous kind.

Yet, this unremarkable young monk was one of the strongest figures in the Buddhist Sect.

Ling Chanzi was a contemporary of the Burning Lamp Buddha, and his junior. In terms of renown, he was not as famous as the Burning Lamp Buddha.

During the most glorious times of the Burning Lamp Buddha, Ling Chanzi was not well known, his light completely overshadowed by that of the Burning Lamp Buddha.

When the Burning Lamp Buddha retreated from the spotlight and stopped involving himself in the matters of the Buddhist Sect, Ling Chanzi went to Boundless Peak to meditate with great perseverance.

When the Buddha Head emerged, becoming the first master of the Buddhist Sect, Ling Chanzi was nearly forgotten by everyone, for he had always stayed on Boundless Peak and never left.

The people of the three sects truly came to know Ling Chanzi during a calamity that took place hundreds of years ago.

That time, a monkey arrived from the land of the Nine Countries wielding a black iron staff, making the martial arts experts of the three sects cry out to heaven and earth for mercy.

The Buddha Head was no match for it, and after many of their martial artists were defeated, the Taoist Sect and Confucian Sect chose to retreat completely, not daring to provoke this monkey.

It wasn’t until the monkey reached Boundless Peak and was about to level the entire peak with a single blow of its staff that Ling Chanzi appeared and caught the monkey’s strike.

After one strike, the monkey did not make another move, only laughed loudly a few times, left behind the words “So much for the martial arts experts of the three sects,” and promptly left.

That monkey was naturally the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who at that time was full of vigor and unrivaled in strength; many people believed he was unbeatable in all the world.

Being able to catch a blow from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and remain unscathed, to possess such strength, Ling Chanzi was certainly among the most exceptional martial artists of his time.

Later, the Buddha Head went to Boundless Peak to visit Ling Chanzi and sat under him to listen to the scriptures for three days.

After that, more high-level figures from the three sects went to visit Ling Chanzi, but none saw his figure; he seemed to have little desire to deal with the matters of the three sects.

It wasn’t until recently that the Burning Lamp Buddha passed away, leaving a request for Cangyunzi and Situ Yue to bring Ling Chanzi out from Boundless Peak.

The two did indeed go to Boundless Peak, but Ling Chanzi did not come down from the mountain, only telling them that when the time came for him to act, he would not stand idly by.

Today, as the Heaven King of the East Pole stirred up trouble across the Seven Seas and the three sects, humiliating the Sea Saint Institute underfoot, Ling Chanzi indeed appeared.

“Benefactor, this place belongs to the three sects, please return,” said Ling Chanzi, arriving on a propitious cloud, addressing the Heaven King of the East Pole.

The Heaven King of the East Pole initially remained silent, sizing up Ling Chanzi.

“People say your insight is not as profound as Burning Lamp’s, but looking at you now, it seems Burning Lamp’s enlightenment is not as deep as yours; otherwise, he would have achieved only fifty percent of Greater Vehicle Buddhism, while you have perfected it,” the Heaven King of the East Pole commented with admiration.

With a slight smile and a finger twirling a flower, Ling Chanzi replied, “Benefactor, you are mistaken. In terms of insight, I am much inferior to my senior brother Burning Lamp.”

“Yet in the accomplishments of Greater Vehicle Buddhism, you are superior to your teacher. I’m not wrong about that, am I?” said the Heaven King of the East Pole.

“Benefactor, you are wrong again. The level of one’s Buddhist knowledge doesn’t really mean anything. On Boundless Peak, there is a young novice monk whose understanding of Buddhism surpasses mine a hundredfold,” explained Ling Chanzi.

“Ah, you people of the Buddhist Sect always speak in such an irritating way, it’s incomprehensible. I really want to punch your bald head until it shatters,” the Heaven King of the East Pole remarked, his tone indescribably agitated.

“Benefactor, if you were to shatter this monk’s bald head, there will still be tens of thousands of bald heads in the Buddhist Sect ready to stand up,” Ling Chanzi said with his hands pressed together in a gesture of prayer.

The Heaven King of the East Pole was momentarily at a loss for words.

Situ Yue, standing nearby, had a strange look on her face. Ling Chanzi’s way of speaking was indeed odd, but upon closer listening, there seemed to be some truth in his words.

“Ling Chanzi, after all this talk, aren’t you just here to stand up for the Confucian Sect? Heh, has the Confucian Sect fallen so low that it needs someone from the Buddhist Sect to come to its aid? What about Feng Haitang? Qi Laoxie? Are they all gone?” said the Heaven King of the East Pole, his words dripping with disdain and contempt for the Confucian Sect.

“I am here!”

Then came a long cry, from above the sea surface, a person arrived, stepping on the great waves.

Situ Yue immediately cried out in shock: “Master!”

Ling Chanzi wore a smile, watching the person who came atop the waves.

The Heaven King of the East Pole was also smiling, his smile brilliant, as if he was quite pleased with the arrival of this person.

“So you’ve really appeared, Feng Haitang. I wonder who can take more of a beating, you or Ling Chanzi?” the Heaven King of the East Pole said eagerly, as if eager to test his mettle.
