NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 115: Purple Gold Alms Bowl
"Your Highness came here without cause, claiming to be looking for someone. Suddenly a person like this appears. How can I believe this..."
The Buddha spoke, and his eyes fell upon the many Bodhisattvas: "Capture this person, and if necessary, kill!"
"Yes!"
Eight Bodhisattvas immediately charged out.
"Please wait, everyone..."
At this moment, a melodious voice sounded, followed by the lingering sound of a zither, causing everyone's actions to pause involuntarily.
The many Bodhisattvas turned their heads in unison and saw Ren Qiuyao, who had come with Crown Prince Yuanqing, had somehow summoned the supreme treasure of music - the Nine Heavens Celestial Sound Zither!
This zither was carved from Phoenix Perching Phoenix Wood and inlaid with Star Resonance Stones. As for the strings, they were Nine Nether Heavenly Silkworm Silk. With a gentle pluck, it stirs the soul, forming its own space. Even though the Bodhisattvas had strong cultivation, they could not evade it in a short time.
"Such audacity!"
The Bodhisattvas were actually stopped by someone with knowledge of heavenly music. Although it was unexpected, it was also a loss of dignity. Vairocana Bodhisattva shouted, and the zither sounds that had confined everyone immediately shattered.
The Bodhisattva himself had the ability to traverse the void. At this moment, using his strength, even though Ren Qiuyao was not weak, she couldn't resist.
However, in that brief moment, the figure who had stolen the Bodhi Saint Tree had already left the range of Sumeru Peak, disappearing from sight.
"Your Highness, what do you mean? If the Bodhi Saint Tree cannot be retrieved, you must give our Buddhist Sect an explanation..."
Silent Extinction Nirvana Bodhisattva was almost exploding with anger. Without saying more, he accelerated and charged out. The other Bodhisattvas also gave a fierce look and hurriedly rushed out of the main hall.
"I will go and have a look as well..."
Crown Prince Yuanqing hurriedly turned around, also wanting to leave, but felt his body tighten again. The Buddha on the lotus platform also showed displeasure in his eyes: "Both of you stay!"
Crash!
A tremendous power enveloped them, covering Crown Prince Yuanqing and Ren Qiuyao. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move.
The peak of Life Sea 9-dan was indeed powerful, but against a figure of the Origin World like the Buddha, it was far too inferior.
"Rest assured, no one can steal from our Buddhist Sect and escape!"
Confining the two, preventing them from causing more problems, the Buddha let out a low shout and extended his hand. In an instant, a Purple Gold Alms Bowl broke through the air.
The Buddha's celestial treasure, the Purple Gold Alms Bowl!
Forged from chaotic purple gold, inscribed with the Sanskrit of the Mahayana Infinite Life Sutra, it was incomparably powerful, one of the Buddha's strongest treasures, far surpassing the Ten Directions Bodhi Soul-lock and the Reincarnation Relic Tower.
Whoosh!
As the Purple Gold Alms Bowl appeared, the space confined by the Mountain River Order was immediately torn open. This celestial treasure then appeared behind the escaping Zhang Xuan in a flash.
Just when Zhang Xuan thought he had escaped the range of his pursuers, he was planning to use the Teleportation Formations of the Suspended Realm to flee when he felt a tremendous suction force fall from the sky, completely enveloping him.
He hurriedly looked up, his pupils involuntarily contracting.
He saw a massive Purple Gold Alms Bowl floating in the Firmament above, completely enveloping him. Suspended beneath this celestial treasure, he was like an escaping Six-Eared Macaque, powerless no matter how great his cultivation.
This is the Buddha's strength?
The Buddha himself didn't even come, yet just one celestial treasure pushed him to his limits, leaving him powerless.
"I can definitely escape... Burn my qi fortune!"
Seeing his body stiffen, and the eight Bodhisattvas flying towards him from afar, Zhang Xuan knew he couldn't escape and would be killed. With a low shout, he frantically mobilized the qi fortune he had just obtained.
30 units of qi fortune might not be enough to escape from the Law Heavenly Capital, but escaping from the Buddhist Sect shouldn't be a big problem.
That was why he dared to set his plan here.
As the qi fortune quickly burned, suddenly, a small jade seal appeared abruptly, shattering the devouring force of the Purple Gold Alms Bowl with a light shake.
It was the small jade seal representing the identity of the Crown Prince!
The Emperor ruled the world, and as the Crown Prince, although his status was far inferior, he was still second only to one. This small jade seal contained supreme authority. Although it might not be as superior as the Purple Gold Alms Bowl in rank, its power was by no means inferior.
In the confrontation between the two, the devouring power of the latter immediately dissipated, and Zhang Xuan, whose body was confined, regained his freedom.
"Haha, farewell..."
By now, Zhang Xuan had already escaped the control range of the Buddhist Sect and the Mountain River Order. With a slight shake, he disappeared from his original spot.
"Damn it..."
Many Bodhisattvas arrived almost simultaneously, only to see the figure had disappeared. Facing the numerous soldiers brought by the Crown Prince, their eyes narrowed and were about to explode with anger.
The Buddhist Holy Land had not only been infiltrated but someone had also brazenly stolen the Bodhi Saint Tree...
No matter how they thought about it, they felt stifled.
"Take all these people back!"
As the many Bodhisattvas were filled with anger, the Buddha's cold voice rang out.
"As you command!"
The eight Bodhisattvas did not hesitate, their hands clasped in respect. With a light grasp, they captured the many soldiers into the Palm Buddha Country and began to fly back.
Moments later, everyone returned to the main hall. By now, Crown Prince Yuanqing and Ren Qiuyao had been sealed with power, standing quietly, unable to move.
"Your Highness, why did you steal our Buddhist Sect's sacred tree?"
The Buddha's face was solemn as he looked over.
"That man is the thief I was pursuing, not one of mine!"
Crown Prince Yuanqing explained.
"Not one of yours? Then why did you repeatedly obstruct us? Is it not because you think we are fools?"
Silent Extinction Nirvana Bodhisattva angrily rebuked.
Not only was he angry, but the other Bodhisattvas and even the Buddha were full of rage.
If it weren't for his successive use of the Mountain River Order and the small jade seal during the pursuit, and Ren Qiuyao's performance with the Nine Heavens Celestial Sound Zither, how could that person have had the chance to escape!
"I obstructed you? It was clearly you who stopped me from pursuing him; otherwise, he would have long become my prisoner..."
Crown Prince Yuanqing snorted coldly.
Although this was the Buddhist Sect's stronghold, he was the Crown Prince and did not believe they dared to kill him! So, he had no reason to have too many misgivings.
"You dare turn the tables on us? How shameless..." Vairocana Bodhisattva said angrily.
"Who is turning the tables is clear. I am only pursuing my thief..." Crown Prince Yuanqing retorted without yielding an inch.
"A堂堂 Crown Prince, twisting logic, since that is so, you people watch over him and do not let him leave. I will go and seek Emperor Fusheng for an audience, to inquire personally whether he sanctioned the theft of the Bodhi Saint Tree..."
The Buddha rose from the lotus seat and stepped forward. The next moment, he had vanished from the spot.
As the Crown Prince, they indeed had no right to kill or imprison him. But they could seek justice from Emperor Fusheng and see what his son was truly up to!
