Chapter 760: Chapter 149: Boundary Stone Reflection, Competing for Quotas_3

With the command of the Buddha Venerate, on the Buddhist Holy Land, one Bodhisattva after another stepped forth; on all four sides of the battle platform, massive, pitch-black stones like monuments rose between heaven and earth, casting Divine Light, connecting to each other.

These are the Boundary Stones, the divine light within the stones connecting to the heavens, mirroring the brilliance of the Array of Boundary Stones in a distant part of the Canglan Realm; instantly, above the cloud fog, the grand spectacle of the entire Buddhist Holy Land reflected.

In various Dynasties and big cities within the Canglan Realm, all could observe such magnificent scenes.

The lofty Buddhist Holy Land with its solemn and majestic temples, as well as millions who came to watch the battle including princes, nobles, and so forth.

Most importantly, the figures of three Saint Dharma standing tall, along with many Heavenly Prides exhibiting their upright statures, made the entire Canglan Realm boil over in an instant!

“That is the Buddha Venerate, the Thousand Worlds Buddha Honor, it’s said he endured the sufferings of a thousand worlds and has comprehended everything under heaven!”

“That’s the Literary Saint, the Supreme Saint in the hearts of us scholars!”

“That’s the Sword Saint, the ultimate aspiration of all Swordsmen!”

“So many people; are these the top talents of my Canglan Realm? At the age of 25, I attained the Three Immortalities, thinking myself the dragon among men, but compared to these exceptional talents, I am still too weak!”

“It’s said that some saintess, not yet 30, has reached the Dao Law Realm and mastered many Extreme Realms and Divine Skills, a top-tier within her realm!”

“That Buddhist Twin Buddha Child, it’s said he’s not even 20 years old, but he’s an anomaly; born with Buddha Light and Demonic Qi intertwined around him, reached the pinnacle of Power Passage Realm by age three, and achieved the Three Immortalities by ten!”

“That’s a reincarnated Saint, rumored to be the reincarnation of a venerable Buddha from the Buddhist sect, incomparable.”

Countless discussions arose; many princely heirs of dynastic families, with no chance to visit the Buddhist Holy Land, could only look up to the heavens from their clans.

The grand spectacle reflected in the clouds, like gods and Buddhas of the heavens, stirred people’s blood to boil.

Atop Buddhist Holy Land, Li Hao and others also saw this scene, the Boundary Stones were activated, what followed was the real competition amongst the Heavenly Prides!

This battle, if one’s performance dazzles, could attract countless believers on the spot, and later on, establishing temples would gather immense Incense Fire, greatly shortening the journey to becoming a Saint.

Igniting three sticks of Incense Fire is just the first step towards becoming a Saint, the subsequent Incense Fire needed the more the better; the more Incense Fire, the stronger the power. The main force on the path of Incense Sainthood, apart from one’s own Saint Path, is the power of Incense Fire!

“Finally, it begins.”

Chi Guang’s eyes revealed surging fighting spirit, the eyes of other Heavenly Prides became eagerly passionate too, whereas the less fortunate ones showed somber expressions, some revealing reluctance and envy, even just stepping onto the platform would expose them to the view of countless people across Canglan Realm, gaining fame instantly!

At this moment, following the Buddha Venerate’s command, Li Hao and others stepped onto the platform, twenty people standing in a row, each with a different aura.

Among the first twenty, Buddhist members accounted for eight, only losing two members, Literary Ancestor Holy Land accounted for five members, Sword Ancestor Holy Land four, and the remaining three were Li Hao, Chi Guang, and Su Yun, three independent fighters.

Seeing that only two from the Buddhist sect were eliminated, many were quietly shocked, this session’s Buddhist foundations seemed particularly strong.

As everyone’s waist tokens soared into mid-air, under the scrutiny of the three Saints, the luminescence of the great path enveloped them like a whirlwind, launching pairs of waist tokens.

Everyone quickly looked over, finding their own tokens and the corresponding opponents.

Li Hao saw his opponent was a young Arhat from the Buddhist sect.

The opponent also looked towards Li Hao, his face wearing a smile, neither happy nor sad.

Li Hao nodded slightly to the opponent, then turned and walked down the platform with others.

Although there were clashes with the Buddhist sect in the Mortal Realm, to be accurate, they were conflicts with the Buddha Lord, and the Buddhist sect in this Land of All Saints was another matter. Li Hao did not intend to extend grudges and resentment here, treating each issue on its own.

The stage was left empty, handed over to the first-time combatants.

Li Hao saw that the first battle was Lin Qingyue; her opponent was a Buddha Son from the Buddhist sect.

As the battle commenced, both sides exhibited Extreme Realms, with various splendid phenomena, the entire battle stage filled with ferocious power. Lin Qingyue displayed the utmost gentle Sword Intent, her Sword Qi sharp as shards of ice continuously intertwining, but the Buddhist Son was also extremely powerful, a Buddha statue reflection seeming to be blessed by golden Buddha light, displaying vigorous power.

Li Hao noticed that there was a mass of Sword Qi brewing inside Lin Qingyue’s belly, filling up the previously missing Dao fetus.

Her combat power wasn’t much less compared to before the battle with the Haoyue Saint Son, rather it had increased, gaining some insights into Nihility Sword Dao.

As the battle concluded, Lin Qingyue emerged victorious.

That Buddhist Son was defeated, his expression a bit sour, but still, he reined in his emotions, chanting a Buddhist marque relinquishing, before stepping down from the stage.

Lin Qingyue sheathed her sword, casting a glance towards Li Hao’s direction, her face clear and absolutely beautiful, revealing a smile.

This smile, reflected in the clouds, made numerous young masters from watching families within Canglan Realm dazzle with golden light.

“Who is that fairy, so beautiful!”

“Is she from Sword Ancestor Holy Land? Tomorrow I shall go to Sword Ancestor Holy Land, henceforth abandoning the blade for a sword!”

Countless people boiled over, shouting Lin Qingyue’s name, this resonance, coupled with the splendor of the first battle, spread Lin Qingyue’s fame throughout Canglan.

Li Hao also responded with a smile, pleased for the other party.

After Lin Qingyue stepped down, next was Chi Guang’s turn.

His opponent was Zhao Qingshu from Literary Ancestor Holy Land.

Seeing his own opponent, Zhao Qingshu’s face turned bleak, cursing his bad luck internally, yet remembering how Li Hao defeated the opponent and on the Saint Mountain, his master was close to Li Hao, it would be too disgraceful if he easily surrendered just like his defeated predecessor.

Then, battle!

…Lost.

Zhao Qingshu lost rapidly, Chi Guang didn’t intend to show mercy, a single Fire Element Divine Ability raised, Zhao Qingshu immediately enveloped in Heart Flame, the jealousy within his heart blazed like wild grass, the rapidity of the flames even surprised Chi Guang.

However, despite the loss, Zhao Qingshu still burst forth with his Shu Hai Divine Skills, the sky filled with brilliant sword shadows and saber radiance, swiftly consumed, eliciting sighs from onlookers.
