Chapter 396 Relics
“You actually have such strength, no wonder you made such a bet with me.
But it is not so easy to gain the power of a god in the Nascent Soul stage."
Seeing that all the enemies were killed by Fang Xiao, the Zhenkong Sword Spirit, who had been watching silently, finally spoke.
Originally, it planned to rescue Fang Xiao in the critical moment, but it didn't expect that the old monk, who was comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was completely powerless to resist.
“I’m naturally aware of the difficulty of becoming a spirit, but I’ve already made some progress and I’m confident that I can win the bet with you.
Senior, please don't deny your responsibility when the time comes."
“You kid.
But it's a pity that you beat that bald donkey to pieces."
Zhenkong felt extremely regretful, as if he was hinting at something.
"I don't know where the pity is, please give me some advice, senior."
Fang Xiao also guessed that he might have missed something, and immediately asked for advice.
"Fortunately, the body of the bald donkey in the early Nascent Soul stage is still there. You will know the answer after you burn it."
After hearing the instructions from the Zhenkong Sword Spirit, Fang Xiao also shifted his attention to the headless corpse in front of him.
Then he set fire to the headless body of the young monk and his head.
Buddhist monks all practice physical cultivation. Even if their bodies are already dead, they are still burned for a long time before turning into a pile of ashes.
However, just when Fang Xiao was confused, a ray of golden light in the ashes caught his attention.
He immediately extended his magical power and took out the thing from the ashes.
“Could this be a relic?”
Fang Xiao looked at the crystal bead emitting golden light in front of him and said uncertainly.
“You have some knowledge, this thing is a relic.
Whenever a Buddhist practitioner in the Nascent Soul stage dies, relics will be left behind after his physical body is burned. If refined with proper methods, these relics can have the miraculous effect of strengthening the body.
However, the monks of Taibai Sword Sect do not focus on physical training, but rather on sharpening their swords.
But it's a pity for the old monk's relics."
After these words were spoken, Fang Xiao's face froze, and he felt extremely regretful.
Although the Jiu Miao Sect is full of Kun practitioners, it is also a real Buddhist sect.
Fang Xiao missed not just one relic, but five, including one left by a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Its miraculous body-refining effect is quite timely for him now that the essence and blood wine has been exhausted.
Unfortunately, opportunities rained down on Fang Xiao, but he cleverly avoided them one by one.
At this moment, a spot of light suddenly floated out from the Zhenkong Sword and came in front of Fang Xiao.
“I see that you seem to be practicing the method of physical training, which includes the technique of refining relics, which can refine the essence.
As for whether to use it for physical training or sword sharpening, it is up to you to decide."
"Thank you, senior, for the gift."
Fang Xiao's worry turned into joy in an instant, and he accepted the secret refining technique in the light spot.
It was indeed painful to miss several relics, but it was nothing compared to successfully subduing Zhenkong.
You must know that the Zhenkong Sword is the spiritual treasure of the Taibai Sword Sect.
Not to mention how powerful it is, he has mastered countless of Taibai's lost sword techniques.
The sword principles he understood were what Fang Xiao had always dreamed of.
Carrying the Zhenkong Sword is like carrying a great sword master with you, and you can ask him for advice anytime and anywhere.
Even outside of swordsmanship, the knowledge and experience of Zhenkong Sword Spirit was far beyond his reach.
After Fang Xiao collected the relics, he set off again.
Although he was fishing, the Taibai Sword Sect was not open for long this time and he could not delay his trip.
In addition to finding out the purpose of the Middle-earth Royal Court, Fang Xiao also has an additional task, which is the relic.
By searching the soul of the Nascent Soul, Fang Xiao also gained a lot.
The only ones included in this Buddhist sect are the four people from the Jiu Miao Sect who had already been destroyed by Fang Xiao.
The other three sects, Tianfo Temple, Tantric Buddhism, and Vajra Buddhism all acted together, totaling fifteen people.
And this time, these fifteen people have all entered the Taibai Sword Sect.
One of the purposes of their coming to Taibai Sword Sect this time is to inherit the sword art.
Among the cultivators who have some restraint towards Buddhism, sword cultivators are definitely one of them.
At the same time, Buddhist practitioners are also frequent targets of sword practitioners, as if they are born to dislike Buddhism.
Therefore, Buddhists are usually quite hostile to sword practitioners.
As for how to weaken sword cultivators, the most fundamental way is to reduce their inheritance.
They cannot destroy the existing sword sects, but they must at least ensure that the inheritance of Taibai Sword Sect will not fall into the hands of these sword sects.
However, these are secondary to Fang Xiao. He also received another piece of information from the young monk's memory.
This news is of utmost importance.
The person who had been widely rumored in the outside world as the great power in the spiritual world who had just transformed into a calamity-reincarnated being was among the fifteen people.
After learning that they had another purpose besides collecting the sword-wielding heritage, Fang Xiao was also quite surprised.
What Buddhists seek is nothing else but the platform for ascension.
Its purpose can be said to be exactly the same as that of the Tianlan Sect.
The difference is that, apart from the coordinates of the spiritual world, Buddhism has no ascension platform or boundary plate.
It is well known that Taibai Sword Sect possesses a complete ascension platform, and there are already many forces seeking to obtain it.
But since the demise of the Taibai Sword Sect, no one has ever found any trace of the ascension platform.
Obviously, the Buddhist sect knew some news, but because of the restrictions on cultivation by the Taibai Sword Sect, they have not been able to put it into action.
This time, Tianlan Sect obtained the core of Taibai Sword Sect's formation, and the Buddhist sect took this opportunity to hitch a ride and search for the whereabouts of the ascension platform.
The only pity is that the young monk does not know the specific information about the ascension platform.
However, this piece of news was of great importance, so after Fang Xiao sorted it out briefly, he sent a message to inform Li Mobai.
……
At this time, in a secret place on Tianzhu Peak.
Li Mobai was arranging everyone to help set up the teleportation array.
However, the news about Fang Xiao has already been passed on.
'A powerful body that can turn the tide? Seeking to seize the ascension platform?
The purpose of the Middle-earth Royal Court has not yet been clarified, but the Buddhist sect has emerged again.
It's really troublesome.'
After reading the message, Li Mobai frowned.
If all forces can survive these less than ten days safely, with some losses, and preserve the Taibai Sword Sect, Li Mobai will accept it.
But if the ascension platform really came into being, Li Mobai would definitely not allow other forces to take it away.
This does not even include the Middle-earth Royal Court. The things they are seeking must be even more precious than the Ascension Platform.
However, in the process of the teleportation array connecting to the sect protection array, Li Mobai had to be present to activate the array center for assistance, and he couldn't leave at all.
He thought about it carefully and immediately sent a message to Fang Xiao.
"Boy, if there really is a powerful person who can turn the catastrophe, you must be careful. The secret magic of the spiritual world is definitely not something that a mere lower world like me can compare to. The strength must be far beyond that of ordinary cultivators."
"Uncle Master, rest assured, I have no intention of confronting him head-on.
The major forces knew what the royal court was doing, so they put the blame on them for the incident of the ascension platform.
Let this great man who can turn the catastrophe and all the forces go to fight with the royal court.
We can also find out their bottom line."
Obviously Fang Xiao was planning to make the matter of the ascension platform public, forcing Wang Ting, who had been hiding behind the scenes, to respond.
