Chapter 786: Saint Path Embryo, Long Time No See 5
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Hahaha…”As the eight beams of light converged to form a Buddha Palm that seemed to connect heaven and earth, aimed to suppress everything below, suddenly, a loud and resounding laughter bellowed across the land.
This laughter, coming from afar and growing closer, traversed the sky with a howling sound. Almost immediately, there appeared a blinding and terrifying white lightning, tearing apart that Buddha Palm.
Thunder roamed like serpents all around, and the wind and clouds underwent a violent change.
At the same time, a figure in a green robe approached with leisurely steps from a great distance. Though his gait was slow and unhurried, with every step he crossed vast spans of space, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Buddhist Holy Land, above the Buddha Hall, standing in opposition to the three Saints.
His long gray hair fluttered in the wind, and the green robe he wore billowed. Topped with an ordinary wooden hairpin, he bore a slight smile on his face.
With hands clasped behind his back, he looked indifferently at Buddha Venerate, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Then, he looked down at the young man on the battle platform whose expression went from shock and anger to stupefaction, and with a toothy smile, he said:
“Little Hao, long time no see.”
The familiar voice and words sent Li Hao into a trance.
It felt as though his blood had begun to surge and boil, stirring excitement in his heart.
He knew that figure all too well; although the temperament had changed somewhat—more ethereal and transcendent—Li Hao would neither mistake nor misrecognize him. It was… Feng!
Thief Saint, Feng Boping!
Turbulence filled Li Hao’s heart. He had not expected to encounter Feng here.
Previously, when he went to Mo River and released Feng’s soul thought, while Feng’s soulless body remained at Heavenly Gate Pass, Qianqian informed him that Feng had departed, waiting for him in the Land of All Saints.
Li Hao had not yet had the chance to look for him, yet Feng had found him first—to encounter each other here!
“Who is this man?”
“A Saint, he is a Saint!”
“Fortunes gather, and Dao surrounds him; which Saint might this be?”
Many people were dumbfounded and shocked at the sight of Feng Boping.
Literary Saint and Sword Saint recognized him at once—it was the Thief Saint!
Over a decade ago, it was heard that this Thief Saint had stepped into the Three Calamities Saint Realm in a single stride, had transcended the Heavenly Tribulation, and his method of transcendence was extraordinarily extravagant. While other Saints resisted the Heavenly Tribulation, he actually stole the power of the Heavenly Tribulation and used it to confront the Heavenly Tribulation!
That dazzling power of the Tribulation Light was his doing.
The Heavenly Tribulation of a Saint, turned into his method of attack—indeed terrifying!
Could it be his Sect… Literary Saint pondered with a flicker in her eyes, having suspected earlier that a Heavenly Pride like him must have a great figure behind him, but she didn’t expect it to be this Saint.
Far away within Sword Ancestor Holy Land, by Sword Cliff, the figure holding the Sword Tower’s Artifact Soul narrowed the eyes slightly, then smiled indifferently, causing the Sword Soul to dissipate and return to the Sword Tower.
He did not say anything, and then sat down leisurely, drawing out his wine gourd to take a sip.
In the Buddhist Holy Land, however, it was now a scene of alarm and commotion, as no one had expected another Saint to appear, and moreover, to take action for Li Hao, shattering the Buddha light.
Buddha Venerate’s face lost its smile as he fixedly gazed at Feng Boping.
Next to Sword Saint, Bian Ruxue’s mind was buzzing wildly. Since her sudden insight and heartbreak, the unfolding events before her were beyond her expectations.
That childhood figure, once hovering in the Mortal World, now stood right before her eyes.
Not long ago, he had come to her Holy Maiden Peak to give her a Pill.
Was he truly Li Hao?
But why hadn’t he recognized her?
Did he not recognize her, or was it… an unwillingness to acknowledge?
She felt her Dao Heart trembling. Despite having severed all ties, his appearance, right before her and even a hundred times brighter and more astonishing than the image from her childhood, caught her off guard.
Defeating a Semi-Saint with a single sword strike while standing on a Buddha Child, the embryonic form of the Ultimate Sword she sought seemed to be embodied by Li Hao.
Wasn’t he someone who never cultivated the Sword Dao, who never enjoyed sword practice—could it be that he sought to follow in her footsteps?
A multitude of thoughts raced through her mind, and within the shattered ice of her Dao Heart, subtle cracks began to form.
Sword Saint seemed to notice the tumultuous Daoist Charm around Bian Ruxue, something surprising that deeply drew his gaze.
Realizing the rift in her Dao Heart, Bian Ruxue was suddenly alarmed, and her expression shifted slightly, yet she simply gazed silently at Li Hao.
“Feng!”
At that moment, Li Hao could not help but call out excitedly.
Feng Boping chuckled lightly, his eyes also showing some excitement. For a Saint to smile so brightly was already a great display of emotion.
He laughed and said: “I had anticipated that with your talent, you would inevitably reach the Land of All Saints. I even thought of sending someone to greet you after transcending the tribulation. Yet I heard of your demise ten years ago. That Void Saint was despicable, a Saint ambushing someone of the Dao Law Realm, utterly unworthy of the title!”
While talking, he looked at Li Hao and smiled again: “Good that you didn’t die, good that you didn’t. I knew you were lucky, Little Hao. You may not be cherished by your parents, but you certainly have a great fortune!”
Li Hao responded with excitement and a touch of helplessness, reluctant to bring up the past and curious, he asked:
“How did you find me?”
“I thought you were dead. I looked for the place where that Void Saint took your life, but he had slain you in the vacuum, and being a master of that domain, he covered his tracks, making them untraceable. My arrival here is mainly due to that unfinished business from the Mortal Realm that still needs to be settled!”
Feng Boping mentioned this with a hint of chill in his eyes.
Although it was with the help of Buddha Lord’s hand that his avatar had the opportunity to enter Mo River, which led to Li Hao entering as well and thus acquiring a true heart to transcend and overcome the Three Calamities, he did not feel grateful. Otherwise, how could he justify Li Hao’s true heart willing to die for him!
