146: Rift-shaped Pearl, Ancient Bronze Lamp

Hearing Huixin mock him like that, the Bald Monk instantly became enraged.

So, he looked at Huixin, and with a similarly mocking tone, he laughed.

"As the saying goes, a monk does not lie. Senior Brother Huixin, it's not very good to speak of your fellow Buddhist disciples like that."

"Who in the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms doesn't know that the four paths of our Buddhist Sect are all of similar strength? By speaking of your fellow disciples like that, are you perhaps looking down on your own Sect?"

"Perhaps this is what is meant in Buddhist scriptures by 'being within it, yet not knowing its suffering.'"

"Only when one's own environment is extremely sorrowful will one fantasize about others, fantasizing that others' environments are as sorrowful as their own," the Bald Monk laughed.

His level of passive aggression had truly reached its peak.

Just a few words directly pierced Huixin's heart, making him almost spit blood in anger.

"Hmph, Senior Fang Chen, you're ruthless," Huixin said angrily.

With that, he directly took out a Sacred Artifact from his Storage Ring that exuded a strong Law of space.

It was a small, black bead.

Inside the bead, starlight twinkled, as if filled with countless spatial cracks.

"This is the Fissure Bead, an supreme Sacred Artifact of the spatial Dao, possessing the ability to penetrate space."

"It was specially lent to Little Monk by Sacred Monk Wuneng of my Bodhi Sect to help Little Monk complete the mission," Huixin said with a smile.

He looked at the Bald Monk beside him with a hint of challenge in his eyes.

"What a good item," Lin Xiao's eyes sparkled with golden light as he looked at this treasure.

If he had this item, future travels would undoubtedly be much more convenient.

Thinking this, Lin Xiao immediately claimed the so-called Fissure Bead as his own in his heart, planning to get his hands on it directly when he had the chance.

"Senior Fang Chen, Senior Huixin has already brought out his best Magical Artifact. You wouldn't still be hiding yours, would you?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

He looked at the Bald Monk beside him, feeling a little expectant.

"I wonder what treasures this monk has," Lin Xiao thought with a smile.

Anyway, these things would all be his in the future, so there was no harm in looking at them now.

"Junior Brother Fang Chen, why don't you just give up? Anyway, your Tiantai Sect doesn't have anything presentable, so you might as well not bring anything out, lest it damage the reputation of our Buddhist Sect," Huixin interjected when he saw this.

Lin Xiao, who was beside him, inwardly exclaimed, "Good fellow."

He immediately assigned him the role of a good teammate.

"He's really a good teammate; this wave is too powerful," Lin Xiao said with a smile, looking at the Bald Monk.

This guy, as expected, was already furious under the dual stimulation of Lin Xiao and Huixin.

"How is that possible? My Tiantai Sect is a top Buddhist Dao force that has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years. High-grade Sacred Artifacts are naturally available in abundance," the Bald Monk said with a forced smile.

After speaking, he also directly took out a Sacred Artifact from his Storage Ring that exuded a rich power of the Great Dao.

It was a lamp-shaped Sacred Artifact, but he didn't know what it was used for.

Although many of its auras were obscured by Buddha Power, Lin Xiao could still vaguely sense something.

He discovered that it contained a strong power of the Great Dao of time.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao was about to ask what it was.

But before he could speak, Huixin, who was beside him, suddenly shouted.

"What, it's actually a replica of the Bronze Ancient Lamp!"

"Bronze Ancient Lamp?! What is that?" Lin Xiao asked, stunned by Huixin's words.

Seeing that the Sacred Artifact he had produced had startled Huixin, the Bald Monk immediately burst into laughter.

"The Bronze Ancient Lamp is one of the top hundred Sacred Artifacts in the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms. It is said to possess the power to alter time."

"And this high-grade Sacred Artifact in my hand, although it is a replica of the Bronze Ancient Lamp, its power of the Great Dao of time that can be unleashed is also not to be underestimated," the Bald Monk explained to Lin Xiao.

After speaking, he once again confronted Huixin.

"Senior Brother Huixin, I wonder how this treasure that Junior Brother has brought out compares to your broken bead," the Bald Monk said with a smile.

"Hmph, you're impressive."

Seeing this, Huixin naturally knew that he couldn't contend with Senior Fang Chen, so he simply gave up resisting.

He manipulated the Fissure Bead and left the place.

Watching the duck he had almost caught fly away, Lin Xiao immediately felt anxious.

He was about to give chase, but looking at the Bald Monk beside him, Lin Xiao still stopped.

He asked calmly, but not before flattering the Bald Monk.

"Senior Fang Chen, judging from the recent competition, your Pure Land Sect's strength is still superior."

"I think after the Azure Emperor Sect's matter is settled, it would be better for me to join your Tiantai Sect, Senior."

"But didn't Senior Huixin come to the Azure Emperor Sect for something? Why did he leave so quickly?"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, the Bald Monk quickly became elated, a look of triumph on his face.

"Haha, Buddha's Son Kong Chan, I welcome your joining on behalf of the Tiantai Sect in advance."

"As for Huixin, you don't need to worry about him."

"Senior Brother Huixin has always been magnanimous. It's inevitable that he'll be a little annoyed by this defeat in the competition."

"It's highly likely that he's gone home to call for reinforcements. We shouldn't bother with him; he should be back soon," the Bald Monk said with a smile.

As he spoke, he didn't forget to put down Huixin, calling him a big good-for-nothing who only knew how to call for help when he couldn't win.

"Is that so?" Lin Xiao nodded after hearing the Bald Monk's words.

He didn't care about anything else; he just needed to know that Huixin would return later.

After all, anyone would feel a little unwilling when a captured prey flew away.

After Huixin left, only Lin Xiao, Little Monk Kong Kong, and the Bald Monk remained in the entire cave.

Seeing that the current situation was very favorable to him, Lin Xiao moved his Divine Thought and sealed off the entire surrounding space.

"Buddha's Son Kong Chan, what is this?"

Seeing this, the Bald Monk was stunned, momentarily unable to understand Lin Xiao's intention.

He didn't know why Lin Xiao would inexplicably seal off this space.

Was it to prevent the aura from leaking?

That didn't seem right.

He had clearly used the great formation given to him by his Sect to hide this cave very securely.

Except for Buddhist Cultivators who Cultivate Buddha Power and the spies he had arranged in the Azure Emperor Sect beforehand, it was simply impossible for anyone else to know about this place.

The Bald Monk was a little puzzled and was about to continue asking.

But just then, an incredibly powerful and terrifying aura erupted from Lin Xiao's body.

It firmly bound him and Little Monk Kong Kong, making them unable to move.

Seeing this, a bad premonition immediately arose in the Bald Monk's heart.

He shouted loudly at Lin Xiao: "Kong Chan, what do you mean by this? Do you intend to kill us and then monopolize the Luck of the Azure Emperor Sect?"

"No, no, no, Senior Fang Chen, you might have misunderstood. I'm not interested in the Luck of the Azure Emperor Sect," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

With that, he deactivated the ability of the Thousand Illusions Mask and reverted to his original appearance.
