Long Bodhisattva broke through nine heavenly caves, full of confidence, and prepared to challenge the prodigies of the various major sects in the cultivation world.
“From where should I start?”
Long Bodhisattva muttered to himself, “The Azure Cloud Sword Sect is full of powerhouses, but it is too far away.”
“The Buddhist Sect also has many experts, but they are in the Western Desert, which is too distant.”
“I am currently in the territory of the Yin-Yang Sect, so why not start with the Yin-Yang Sect?”
At this thought, immense battle intent appeared on Long Bodhisattva’s face. “I have heard that the Yin-Yang Sect has eighteen holy sons, all of whom are heavenly prodigies among the younger generation.”
“I shall start with them!”
“I will challenge them one by one, sweeping through all the cave heaven realm experts among the younger generation in the cultivation world.”
“I will let everyone know that no genius or prodigy can withstand a single blow from me, Long Bodhisattva.”
“By then, I will kick the holy sons of the Yin-Yang Sect and punch the divine sons of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect. I, Long Bodhisattva, will surely become the brightest star among the younger generation in the cultivation world.”
In truth, Long Bodhisattva was not young. If he were in the secular world, he would already be a grandfather several times over at his age, but the cultivation world was different. Here, over a hundred years old was still considered very young.
After all, there were old monsters who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
“The holy sons of the Yin-Yang Sect, my fists are already itching with eagerness. When I arrive, it will be the moment for you to tremble.”
Long Bodhisattva grinned, took a step forward, and swiftly vanished from the spot.
After travelling for half a day.
In the evening, Long Bodhisattva arrived at a city. At the city gate, he saw the wanted poster for Ye Wushuang.
“Eh, the loose cultivator Ye Wushuang?”
“Could it be that boy from the Ye family in the secular world?”
“What heinous crime has this fellow committed to be wanted by the Yin-Yang Sect?”
“Speaking of which, back in the secular world, this boy was at odds with Long Yi and even boasted that one day he would wipe out the Forbidden City. Truly overestimating himself.”
“Ye Wushuang, if I ever see you, I will eliminate you on behalf of Long Yi.”
Long Bodhisattva smiled faintly at the corners of his mouth. At this moment, he had no idea that the Forbidden City had long been destroyed; otherwise, he would not have been able to smile.
After entering the city, Long Bodhisattva saw various street-side stalls with food wafting aromas, which stirred his appetite.
“It has been a long time since I last enjoyed good food. It seems I need to find a place to savour some.”
“The sky is darkening, so I might as well rest for the night.”
“I will set off again tomorrow morning!”
With this in mind, Long Bodhisattva found an inn. Upon entering, he said to the innkeeper, “Give me a superior room, and bring some fine food as well.”
With that, Long Bodhisattva took out three spirit stones.
“Esteemed guest, please follow me.” The innkeeper took the spirit stones, beaming with delight, and led Long Bodhisattva to a room on the second floor.
After entering the room.
Long Bodhisattva tossed out two more spirit stones and said, “Do you have good wine? Bring me ten jars.”
“Certainly, please wait a moment, esteemed guest.” Seeing his generosity, the innkeeper was overjoyed, took the spirit stones, and hurried out.
“Wait a moment.” Just as the innkeeper was about to leave the room, Long Bodhisattva suddenly spoke up.
The innkeeper turned around and asked, “Esteemed guest, is there anything else you require?”
“Do you know where any of the Yin-Yang Sect’s holy sons are nearby?” Long Bodhisattva asked.
The innkeeper countered, “May I ask what the esteemed guest wants with the Yin-Yang Sect’s holy sons?”
“Do not ask so many questions. Just tell me where the Yin-Yang Sect’s holy sons are.” A vast aura emanated from Long Bodhisattva, startling the innkeeper into a shiver.
The innkeeper hurriedly replied, “Esteemed guest, the Yin-Yang Sect’s holy sons are great figures. How could a lowly person like me possibly know their whereabouts?”
“Be off with you!” Long Bodhisattva waved his hand.
Unexpectedly, just as the innkeeper reached the door, he heard Long Bodhisattva muttering to himself, “Holy sons of the Yin-Yang Sect, wait for me. Soon, I will suppress you one by one.”
“I will make you all know that I, Long Bodhisattva, am the strongest cave heaven expert in the cultivation world.”
Long Bodhisattva?
The strongest cave heaven expert?
The innkeeper paused in his steps, his heart pounding wildly.
Could the person inside be the Long Bodhisattva that the Yin-Yang Sect was hunting?
“Truly, it is a case of seeking him far and wide only to find him close at hand. Who would have thought that the one the Yin-Yang Sect could not find would stay in my inn? I am going to make a fortune.”
With this thought, the innkeeper hurried downstairs, called over a servant boy, and instructed, “Immediately send fine food and ten jars of good wine to that esteemed guest upstairs. I have to go out for a bit.”
With that, he quickly left the inn.
…
Night fell.
Long Bodhisattva, having eaten and drunk his fill, was about to lie down when he suddenly heard the “clop clop” of horse hooves from outside.
He probed with his divine sense and immediately discovered that over a hundred people from the Yin-Yang Sect had surrounded the inn.
Among them were three cave heaven initial stage powerhouses.
“The Yin-Yang Sect truly lives up to its name as a top sect. Even in such a small city, three cave heaven powerhouses have appeared. I wonder if any of them are holy sons of the Yin-Yang Sect?”
With this in mind, Long Bodhisattva leaped out through the window and appeared on the inn’s rooftop.
In an instant, several cold glares turned towards the rooftop.
“Where is the Yin-Yang Sect’s holy son?”
Long Bodhisattva declared loudly, “I am Long Bodhisattva, here to challenge the Yin-Yang Sect’s holy sons. Please show yourselves at once.”
Instantly, all eyes turned to Long Bodhisattva.
“You are Long Bodhisattva? Excellent. Men, take him down.” The leading cave heaven realm powerhouse bellowed.
At once, dozens of Yin-Yang Sect disciples closed in on Long Bodhisattva.
That Yin-Yang Sect cave heaven realm powerhouse added, “The Sixth Elder has ordered that whoever captures Long Bodhisattva alive will be heavily rewarded!”
Hearing this, Long Bodhisattva felt no fear; instead, his face lit up with excitement.
“I never expected even the Yin-Yang Sect’s elders to know my name. It seems my era, Long Bodhisattva’s era, is truly coming.”
Long Bodhisattva was greatly agitated. A powerful aura emanated from him, with nine heavenly caves floating behind him, awe-inspiring and soul-seizing.
The group from the Yin-Yang Sect was immediately too frightened to move.
First, Long Bodhisattva’s cultivation was far stronger than theirs; charging at him meant certain death.
Second, Long Bodhisattva had annihilated the Jiang father and son of Bright Moon City and slain thousands of soldiers; his infamous reputation preceded him.
Finally, the Sixth Elder’s order was to capture him alive, but they could not even fight him, so how could they capture him?
Seeing the Yin-Yang Sect members cowed by his aura, Long Bodhisattva burst into laughter. “A bunch of useless trash.”
The faces of the Yin-Yang Sect members darkened, each one seething with anger but too afraid to speak.
“You lot are mere rubbish, not even worth my effort.”
Long Bodhisattva’s tone was utterly arrogant, paying no regard to those present.
“Still the same words: hurry and summon your sect’s holy sons. Tell them that I, Long Bodhisattva, await their honourable arrival here.”
“Scram!”
Long Bodhisattva roared furiously. The sound waves surged forth like towering ocean waves, crushing outwards.
In an instant, the Yin-Yang Sect disciples on site were all flung into the air, spitting blood.
“Boring.”
Long Bodhisattva found it utterly lacklustre, stretched lazily, and returned to his room to sleep.
