Capítulo 270: Chapter 292 - Inside the Ancient Buddha Clan!
With a clang, a flicker of panic crossed Qing Xuan's eyes. She still didn't know how to broach that topic with Qing Yuan Jing. Mentioning these people was only to prepare Qing Yuan Jing psychologically. Gradually, she planned to mention Mo He Tian and test her sister's reaction. However, due to her own nerves, she ended up saying too much and arousing her sister's suspicions.
"It's nothing, just that so many talented people have come to our Ancient Buddha Clan. I wonder who will come out on top," Qing Xuan laughed and changed the subject out of curiosity.
"Speaking of which, it seems there's someone who's stirred up the Great Thousand Worlds time and again recently. Even I, within the clan, have heard of him," Qing Yuan Jing commented, pausing her flower watering and a glimmer of interest flashing through her calm eyes.
"Who is it?" Qing Xuan felt a bad premonition seeing her sister's reaction. Her sister was usually icy cold, showing no emotion towards anyone, but this time seemed different.
"The Demon-Slaying King of the Great Thousand Palace, Jiang Yun."
With Qing Yuan Jing's soft utterance of Jiang Yun's name, Qing Xuan froze, her eyes sparkling with admiration. She murmured, "It's him!"
"Yes, such a person is indeed rare. I've heard that he has repelled numerous Dark Clan invasions, saving billions in the northern realms from calamity. He became a bulwark, standing firm in the north. Such a heroic deed can be compared to that of the ancient emperors!" Qing Yuan Jing nodded, her voice filled with respect.
"Indeed, he is a legend!" Qing Xuan nodded in agreement, admiration evident in her tone. Even as disciples of the ancient clans, they couldn't help but look up to Jiang Yun's exploits.
"Are you interested? Unfortunately, true love is not something we can afford. The clan values lineage above all..." Qing Yuan Jing teased, her eyes holding a tinge of darkness as she noticed the starry look in Qing Xuan's eyes.
"In the eyes of the masses, we might be the untouchable princesses of the ancient clans, but to someone like him, we are no different from ordinary girls," Qing Xuan said with a bitter smile, shaking her head slowly.
"Sister, is Jiang Yun coming to our clan for the Competition?" Qing Yuan Jing asked curiously, nodding noncommittally.
"No."
Seeing Qing Yuan Jing's hopeful gaze, Qing Xuan sighed and shook her head regrettably.
"What a pity! To miss the chance to meet such a genius!" Qing Yuan Jing remarked, shaking her head in disappointment.
Qing Xuan agreed with a nod, also wanting to meet the renowned Demon-Slaying King. However, she reminded herself that she had initially come to test her sister's feelings about Mo He Tian, yet they ended up praising Jiang Yun together.
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Qing Xuan calmed down and smiled at Qing Yuan Jing, "Sister, while Jiang Yun is a legend, our five ancient clans also have many outstanding youths, like Mo He Tian from the Mo He Clan. I heard that he has broken into the Saint rank and taken over the role of clan leader. He is a hero in his own right, not much inferior to Jiang Yun!"
Qing Yuan Jing continued watering the flowers, shaking her head slightly. There was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes as she said, "The Mo He Clan is ambitious, and Mo He Tian is no easy character. It's said that Jiang Yun had some clashes with the Mo He Clan, but after witnessing Jiang Yun's rapid rise, they never demanded an explanation. Such bullies are not comparable to the likes of the Demon-Slaying King."
Hearing Qing Yuan Jing's words, Qing Xuan immediately understood. It seemed her sister didn't hold Mo He Tian in high regard.
Knowing her sister's character, Qing Xuan couldn't help but worry. If this is the case, it will be hard to carry out the elders' plan.
Since the beginning, Qing Yuan Jing had been observing Qing Xuan. Noticing the worry in her sister's eyes and her unusual behavior today, coupled with the recent rumors in the clan, she had a bad premonition and asked, "Sister, you didn't come just to discuss the world's heroes with me, did you?"
Qing Xuan sighed upon hearing this, seeing her sister's discerning eyes, and exclaimed, "You're still as sharp as ever."
"The elders told me that the clan has preliminarily agreed to the proposal of an alliance with the Mo He Clan, and the proposed match is between you and Mo He Tian!"
Qing Yuan Jing paused from watering the flowers, then gently smiled and said softly, "I disagree. I will never marry Mo He Tian!"
In that moment, though gentle, Qing Yuan Jing displayed an unyielding determination, showing her unique edge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The melodious sound of bells resonated throughout the entire Buddha Realm. With the sound of the bells, countless figures soared into the sky, heading towards the depths of the mountain ranges.
A fervent atmosphere enveloped the entire world as the grand event of the Buddha Clan's Competition was about to begin.
At this moment, a towering main peak rose straight into the sky like a majestic pillar. Surrounding the main peak were numerous other peaks, each with jade platforms exuding a sharp aura.
Seated seats had been arranged on these peaks, and light figures shot down from the sky, taking their places.
Within a few minutes, the mountain ranges became animated with activity.
Boom.
With the continuous ringing of the bells, all powerful beings present instinctively looked up to see billions of spiritual lights blooming from the top of the main peak.
Within these spiritual lights, numerous figures appeared, each exuding an imposing aura that made all the superpowers present tense up.
As the largest spiritual light dissipated, twenty figures appeared at the top of the main peak. Nineteen of them stood distinctly apart, respectfully positioned behind the foremost person.
That person was an elderly man with white hair, his appearance aged, eyes cloudy. Unlike the other nineteen figures behind him who exuded overwhelming spiritual power, he had no spiritual aura, appearing ordinary and unremarkable.
However, the numerous superpower experts present couldn't help but show respect upon seeing this old man.
"Sage Heavenly Supreme!"
Everyone thought of these words upon seeing the old man. He was the Ancient Buddha Clan's only Sage of Supreme rank, Buddha Xuan.
Many gazes also fell upon the nineteen figures behind Buddha Xuan. Each of these figures radiated with brilliant spiritual light and terrifying spiritual pressure, making the superpowers wary.
A faction with a Sage pivotal elder and many such powerful beings was naturally the focus of attention.
"Welcome, Great Elder!"
As the white-haired old man appeared, countless members of the Buddha Clan respectfully saluted, even the Heavenly Supreme elders showed reverence.
As the clan's only Sage Heavenly Supreme and a pillar of the clan, Buddha Xuan commanded unmatched respect.
On the peak, with all eyes on him, the elder Buddha Xuan, with a stern yet kind face, scanned the surroundings, his old voice echoing through the mountains.
"Today marks a grand event for our Ancient Buddha Clan, thank you all for coming. Buddha Xuan expresses his gratitude."
His courteous words were reciprocated with respectful gestures from the superpowers' leaders. As a Heavenly Supreme of the Sage level, Buddha Xuan was among the highest echelons in the Great Thousand Worlds.
After exchanging pleasantries, Buddha Xuan took his seat on the high platform of the main peak, his gaze falling on the nineteen figures below, and said solemnly, "The Clan Competition begins now. Show your skills and keep your positions, or let others take your place."
"Yes."
With his words, the nineteen figures immediately responded and shot out, landing on the jade platforms.
Simultaneously, vast spiritual energies spread across the skies.
"The Clan Competition, begins now."
"Heh, though the Buddha Clan is strong, they are hardly a match for us, the Mo He Clan," Mo He You said dismissively while observing the Buddha Clan's experts.
"The Buddha Clan Chief suffered severe injuries fighting the Dark Clan, weakening their strength. Still, as long as the Buddha Tower and Buddha Xuan exist, they cannot be underestimated!" Mo He Tian replied.
Ancient clans like theirs always had hidden powers.
The Buddha Tower was their greatest asset, having killed three Dark Emperors, entities akin to Sage Supremes.
The Buddha Tower was their ultimate weapon, ensuring their place in the Great Thousand Worlds.
Nodding solemnly, Mo He You glanced at the younger generation of the Buddha Clan, noting, "Big brother, Qing Yuan Jing isn't present. How odd for her to miss such an event."
Glancing briefly at the gathering area of the Buddha Clan's younger generation, Mo He Tian's expression remained calm, "It doesn't matter. Our main goal here is to discuss the joint attack on Heavenly Spiral Continent with the gathered forces. Qing Yuan Jing is a minor matter."
The alliance with the Buddha Clan was virtually assured in his mind, unworthy of his concern. The real issue was planning the attack on Heavenly Spiral, as questioning a Demon-Slayer King was unprecedented and required careful plotting.
After a brief glance at the fierce battles on the platforms, Mo He Tian deduced the chaotic internal state of the Buddha Clan, exacerbated by inter-clan rivalry and restrained only by Buddha Xuan.
With a flash in his eyes, he turned to Mo He You, "Let's go, there's nothing more to see. We need to meet with the other clans."
Their departure drew attention, but no one dared investigate.
Heavenly Spiral Continent, Ancient Heavenly Palace.
Rivers of spiritual energy flowed, releasing pure energy into the air, creating a fresh and ethereal atmosphere.
On stone platforms beside the river, young figures sat quietly, cultivating and refining themselves.
In the distance, shadowy figures could be seen training.
With Jiang Yun reopening the Ancient Heavenly Palace, various powers of the continent had been integrated. Over six months of coordination had revitalized the once dormant palace.
With countless talents joining, the palace now thrived, resembling its heyday.
The previous generation was built on the renown of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, but their promising leaders fell before reaching their potential due to the Dark Clan invasion, leaving them without a single Supreme.
A true regret.
