Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 834 Changes in Great Leiyin Monastery

Ding Hao was speechless.
He took out the jade bottle Ximen Qianxue had given him not long ago, took out a few semi-god-level elixirs, and handed them to Golden Cicada.

Golden Cicada unabashedly caught the elixirs and swallowed them like chewing beans.
Only then did he slowly sit cross-legged and run his cultivation method to heal himself.
A golden Buddha’s halo flashed, and waves of faintly discernible Sanskrit incantations rang out from his body.
A holy and solemn Buddha’s halo enveloped him!

Ding Hao stayed with him quietly.

“Golden Cicada’s strength was unfathomable.
He was not inferior to me.
Besides, he was born in the Great Leiyin Monastery, a sacred place of Buddhism, so he must have countless trump cards and killing weapons.
Why was he so badly injured? If it weren’t for his Buddhist unique skills, he wouldn’t have survived until now.
Who on earth could do this?”

Moreover, Ding Hao found that the injuries inside Golden Cicada’s body also carried a trace of holiness and solemnity.
They were not demonic power.

Things got even stranger.

About 30 minutes later, Golden Cicada finished healing himself.

He was badly injured, so he couldn’t recover in such a short time even with the assistance of Ding Hao’s elixirs.
If he wanted to recover completely, it would take at least two or three years.

“Now, can you tell me what had happened?” Ding Hao looked at him quietly.

Golden Cicada took out something from his pocket and bit them hard.
Then he sighed and said, “Do you want to know who hurt me?” Before Ding Hao could answer, Golden Cicada continued, “You will be surprised because the person who injured me so badly is an expert of the Great Leiyin Monastery.
Considering seniority, I have to call him Martial Uncle.”

“Well? Your Martial Uncle? He’s at least a monk in the Sage Realm, isn’t he?” Ding Hao was stunned and then said meaningfully, “What wicked things did you do? Why did your Martial Uncle attack you in such a lethal way?”

Golden Cicada finished eating in a few bites and muttered, “If only I could moisten my throat with some wine.
You never know how greedy I was when I saw you eating and drinking just now.
I didn’t do any wicked things but occasionally break the rules to eat meat and drink wine.
But this is also a kind of cultivation, so it’s impossible to kill me for it.
The problem now is that not only my Martial Uncle, but at least half of the monks in the Great Leiyin Monastery want to kill me.”

“Damn!” Ding Hao was shocked and said, “Did you defecate on Buddha’s Lotus Platform? How did you end up being betrayed by everyone? Aren’t you the successor to the contemporary Lord Buddha? How did you screw it up?”

Golden Cicada smiled wryly.
“It’s much worse than defecating on Buddha’s Lotus Platform.
Now I’m the number one traitor of the Great Leiyin Monastery in its history of thousands of years.
I’m a villain wanted by the Great Leiyin Monastery and thousands of Buddhist sects in the Western Desert.
Don’t you think I’m miserable?”

Ding Hao was stunned.
He immediately jumped up and said, “No one saw you when you came here, right? You’d better leave now.
My small Swordsmanship-seeking Sect dare not take in the number one wanted criminal in the world.”

“You’re so petty and mean.” Golden Cicada sighed, “What a cruel world.”

Ding Hao laughed and said, “Well, tell me what happened.”

Golden Cicada smiled wryly.
“Do you still remember the woman we saved from people of Miaoyu Bordello?”

“Sweet Sound?” Ding Hao nodded and said, “Of course I remember her.
You said that she was a genius in cultivating Buddhism with a Buddhist fate in her body.
Didn’t the Great Leiyin Monastery send you to Snow Province to look for the two disciples of Zero Thought Sect with Buddhist fate? Now Lei Tingchan’s present whereabouts are still unknown.
You had taken Sweet Sound back, so you nearly completed your task…” Speaking of this, Ding Hao suddenly opened his mouth wide and stared at Golden Cicada with a strange expression on his face.
He said, “You perverted monk, did you do something bad to Sweet Sound because of her beauty?”

Golden Cicada said furiously, “Amitabha.
Monks are completely indifferent to worldly temptations.
Am I a perverted person?”

Ding Hao snorted.

“You…” Golden Cicada was about to go mad, but now he was too weak to defeat Ding Hao.
In the end, he said angrily, “It’s that Sweet Sound.
She’s now the Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery.”

What?

Sweet Sound had become Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery?

Now Ding Hao was shocked.

The Great Leiyin Monastery was the number one holy land of Buddhism on the Land of Infinity.
According to the legends, Lord Buddha of the Western Desert was one of the five War Gods in the Land of Infinity.
He was equivalent to God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region in the Northern Region and the Central Region Supreme God of War in the Divine Central Continent.
They were all unparalleled existences.
Even the Supreme Masters of the Immortal Realm could not replace them easily.

Although Sweet Sound had entered the Sage Battlefield, she came from a small sect like the Zero Thought Sect in the Northern Region, and her strength was only around the Great Grandmaster Realm.
It was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world for her to become the master of the Great Leiyin Monastery as if a beggar became an emperor overnight.

Moreover, Buddhism had far harsher requirements for the Lord Buddha than that of ordinary sects.
In addition to their strength, they also needed profound Buddhist cultivation.
It was even impossible to pick one qualified person from tens of millions of geniuses.

Ding Hao also knew Sweet Sound didn’t have the aptitude to become a Lord Buddha.

What on earth had happened?

Ding Hao looked serious.
He soon realized that it was not only a matter of the Great Leiyin Monastery, but it would also affect the fate of the entire Human Clan on Land of Infinity.
Because the Great Leiyin Monastery was one of the pillar sects of the Human Clan on the Land of Infinity.
It enjoyed equal popularity with the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost and the Super Heaven Pavilion.
Even the Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect were not comparable to it.

Ding Hao was looking at Golden Cicada silently, waiting for his detailed explanation.

“Three years ago, I took Sweet Sound back to the Great Leiyin Monastery.
The elders of the temple observed her in person and praised Sweet Sound for her Buddhist nature.
Even the Lord Buddha had personally seen her once.
Therefore, Sweet Sound became one of the disciples of Great Leiyin Monastery by direct line.
She practiced the unique skills in the monastery and displayed her amazing talent.
In less than three years, she had successfully entered the Martial Emperor Realm from the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Her achievements were awesome although she had benefited a lot from the monastery’s resources.
What’s more, Sweet Sound’s comprehension and reading of Buddhist classics made many elder monks feel inferior.
She became one of the successors of the Great Leiyin Monastery and had a promising future.” Golden Cicada sighed.

Ding Hao nodded and continued to listen to him.

“About a year ago, the sudden change in the Green Wood Cliff of the Divine Central Continent caught the attention of various experts of the Immortal Realm.
The former Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery also went to the Green Wood Cliff to find out what had happened.
Since then, things went out of control like the flood.
The former Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery never returned from the Green Wood Cliff.
He only sent a Buddhist edict back and asked disciples to select a new Lord Buddha by themselves.
After a short period of chaos, the situation returned to normal under the leadership of some elders in the monastery.
According to the long-standing rules, the new Lord Buddha must be selected from the confirmed successors of the Great Leiyin Monastery.
Therefore, Sweet Sound, I and the other four Senior Brothers have the possibility of becoming the new Lord Buddha.”

“In terms of seniority and contribution to the Great Leiyin Monastery, Sweet Sound is a latecomer, after all, so she was least likely to become the Lord of Buddha.
At that time, my Senior Brother Bajie was the most prestigious and powerful.
He had already entered the Immortal Realm hundreds of years ago, and his Buddhist nature was the best.
He was favored by everyone.
There was almost no suspense that he would become the Lord Buddha so I thought everything had been settled.
However, the day before the ceremony, Senior Brother Bajie…” Golden Cicada’s voice trembled, and a trace of pain appeared on his face.
He said, “He died!”

“What?” Ding Hao could not help exclaiming.

Died?

An expert of the Immortal Realm had a lifespan of thousands of years.

Moreover, according to Golden Cicada’s description, his Senior Brother had just entered the Immortal Realm a hundred years ago.
If nothing untoward happened, he could live for at least 900 more years.
Yet he had suddenly died.
It was obvious that he had not died naturally, but had been killed.

It was incredible that an expert of the Immortal Realm was killed in the Great Leiyin Monastery, where numerous experts gathered.

Even the top experts of the Immortal Realm such as God of War of Mysterious Frost and Supreme God of War were not able to kill him.

Unless.

Ding Hao’s eyes sparkled, and he thought of the only possibility.

“You live up to the title of the Saber and Sword Addict.
You got the answer so quickly.” Golden Cicada noticed Ding Hao’s expression and sighed.
“At that time, everyone in the Great Leiyin Monastery was shocked.
The soon-to-be Lord Buddha was killed in the monastery.
It was a scandal that has never happened since the establishment of the Great Leiyin Monastery.
Therefore, this news has been blocked from spreading.
All the elders of the monastery were furious and tried their best to investigate.
In the end, it was confirmed that Senior Brother Bajie was killed by the monk in the monastery because injuries caused by an extremely profound magic skill of Buddhism were found in his dead body.

Ding Hao nodded, not knowing what to say.

The fact that Senior Brother Bajie had died from the magic skills of Buddhism meant that there was a traitor inside Great Leiyin Monastery.

With the strength of the Great Leiyin Monastery, it should be easy to find out the truth.
Could it be that?

“The elders of all the academies in the monastery tried their best to track down the murderer.
However, there were no clues at all.
At that time, the other three Senior Brothers who are qualified to become the Lord Buddha-Senior Brother White Dragon, Senior Brother Wujing, and Senior Brother Wukong were…they were all killed one after another!” Golden Cicada said in a trembling voice.

Ding Hao was stunned.

It was too shocking.
If these words weren’t said by Golden Cicada, he would never have believed it.
In his previous life, the First Lady of the most powerful country in the world couldn’t be raped in the White House.
Similarly, it was also impossible for the successors of the Great Leiyin Monastery to be killed in the monastery one after another.
It was just impossible!

Senior Brother Bajie was in the Immortal Realm.
Although Senior Brother White Dragon, Senior Brother Wujing, and Senior Brother Wukong were not in the Immortal Realm, they were at least the top experts in the Sage Realm.
The Senior Brothers were of about the same strength as Chu Kuangtu, but how did they die under powerful protection?
