Chapter 2558: My Name Is Wang Shouzhe, and I Am Your Old Ancestor
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
...Emperor Tianrui looked at Sacred Lord Cloud Peng, then at the Nirvana Buddha, feeling his entire heart tighten, a rare moment of nervousness and unease washing over him.
The suffocating silence lasted for several breaths.
Suddenly, the Nirvana Buddha laughed.
As he laughed, a burst of Sanskrit music resonated around, the vast Buddha resonance rippling endlessly: "Cloud Peng, since when did you become so audaciously bold? However, this matter is ultimately a disaster caused by the Saintess of our Great Nirvana Temple, my side is indeed at fault."
He pondered for a moment and continued, "How about this~ we are willing to offer twenty Chaos Spirit Stones to settle this conflict, after today, neither side will entangle in this matter any longer. How does that sound?"
He understood that if he didn’t take a step back today, regardless of his heaven-reaching methods, he shouldn’t expect to leave alive with the Saintess.
After all, he was merely a projection at this moment, with strength only at the level of the Sacred Supreme. If it were just Emperor Tianrui, he certainly couldn’t keep him, but with the addition of Sacred Lord Cloud Peng, he couldn’t be assured of retreating unscathed, let alone protecting Xiang Yao.
Upon hearing the Nirvana Buddha’s words, Emperor Tianrui was overjoyed, the tension he held immediately subsided.
He truly hadn’t expected that Sacred Lord Cloud Peng’s assertive stance could really force the famous Nirvana Buddha to compromise.
Moreover, he mentioned settling this conflict!
The esteemed Buddha Master, whose words are followed by law, naturally wouldn’t speak nonsense. Since he said to settle the conflict, it meant the matter was considered resolved here and wouldn’t be revisited or cause trouble for the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty.
Not to mention the additional gain of twenty Chaos Spirit Stones~!
Emperor Tianrui, fully satisfied, was just about to agree when he heard Sacred Lord Cloud Peng say in dissatisfaction: "Nirvana Buddha, are you trying to dismiss a beggar? The Saintess of your temple secretly infiltrated our Eastern Dawn God Continent, stirring up trouble with serious and malign consequences that might even affect the internal unity and stability of our human race. To settle the conflict, twenty Chaos Spirit Stones are far from enough!"
In the past, even if Sacred Lord Cloud Peng stood up to bear the matter, he would mostly agree directly after the Buddha’s proposal of settlement terms.
However, after spending over a decade with Wang Shouzhe, his "horizons" unexpectedly broadened, gaining a new understanding of the world of the wealthy.
Think about what that kid does~ randomly relocating a cave dwelling, even small matters over the span of a month, he could spend over twenty Immortal Spirit Stones.
When Prince Wen Yu offended him in the business world, he set up a grand scheme, almost crashing the entire grain market of the Tianrui Sacred Dynasty, and seized the opportunity to make a substantial profit, with the Chaos Spirit Stones being calculated in dozens.
With horizons broadened, the appetite of Sacred Lord Cloud Peng also grew larger.
"Oh~" the Nirvana Buddha smiled whimsically at Sacred Lord Cloud Peng, "Then tell me, how should I compensate you?"
"Besides the twenty Chaos Spirit Stones, we also want a Sacred Artifact as compensation," Sacred Lord Cloud Peng demanded exorbitantly, "Moreover, I heard your temple’s Tathagata Buddha Tree has come to fruition and fortunately bore two Tathagata Buddha Fruits, we want one!"
"..."
The Nirvana Buddha’s whimsical smile slightly stiffened, eyeing Sacred Lord Cloud Peng with a hostile look, without speaking for a while.
However, Sacred Lord Cloud Peng didn’t flinch, holding a poised demeanor, with a determined look, ready to engage if negotiations failed.
After all, if the Buddha projection and the Saintess were to die here, the loss would be even greater.
Speaking of the Buddha projection, if it suffered here, the Buddha’s divine soul would be injured and who knows how many years of seclusion it would take to recover.
And the importance of "Fragrant Jade Holy Concubine" goes without saying.
It’s well-known that secret techniques like the Buddha Seal and Dao Seal are immensely consuming, posing a significant burden even for mighty beings like Buddha Masters and Taoist Masters.
Even though the situation of the Great Nirvana Temple differs from the Primordial Taoist Palace, it is mostly probable that only those with extremely high potential, those hopeful of inheriting the position of Buddha Master, would be granted such. Since "Fragrant Jade Holy Concubine" bears the Buddha Seal, she is likely the Quasi-Buddha Son of the contemporary Great Nirvana Temple.
This level of progeny is rare and invaluable, a loss the Great Nirvana Temple cannot afford.
Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Just when Emperor Tianrui feared that the two sides wouldn’t reach an agreement and were on the verge of battle, the Nirvana Buddha laughed: "Alright, it’s settled then."
With that, he casually made a gesture, and a space portal opened beside him, from which a pile of items floated out.
The most abundant of these were, of course, the Chaos Spirit Stones. No more, no less, exactly twenty pieces.
Apart from those, only two items remained. One was a fruit, roughly the size of a palm.
The fruit was a pale yellow, its surface smooth and glossy, with tiny gold veins spreading across, emanating a faint glow. Dense Buddha resonance flowed in the glow, instilling a sense of peace and tranquility.
As for the other item, it was a jade pestle.
The jade pestle was about a foot long, entirely white, as if made of jade, with gold veins entwined around it, exuding a mysterious and profound aura.
Clearly, this was the Sacred Artifact promised by the Nirvana Buddha.
Naturally, the Nirvana Buddha couldn’t carry these things with him but rather retrieved them from the of the Great Nirvana Temple.
This is a specially developed small space, vast and expansive inside, capable of housing countless rare and precious treasures.
