Chapter 511-2: Vajra Bodhi Seed, Sudden Change! (2)

The woman was draped in black gauze, and her face also had a black gauze veil concealing her mouth and nose. Her figure was slender, with a slim waist and bare feet. She was actually Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva.

The woman softly spoke. “Lu Wu, this seat has come by Enma’s decree to take the dragon child’s shed remains.”

As she spoke, she extended a fair hand. A sinister black flame rose from her palm.

When Lu Wu saw this black flame, He understood that the woman had indeed come by the order of Ancient Heavenly Enma.

His expression did not change as He asked, “Manjusri, what use do you have for this object?”

“This is Enma’s decree. You should not ask too much.” As the Bodhisattva spoke, her tone shifted. “However, there is no harm in telling you.”

“Some days ago, this seat captured an exotic dragon demon, and unexpectedly discovered that the dragon demon had the protection of a great divine art from beyond the heavens.”

“Enma once searched for a great thousand world beyond the heavens for many years, yet the void beyond the heavens is vast and endless, and great thousand worlds are like grains of gold buried in a great desert. How could they be so easy to find?”

“The exotic dragon demon possesses a great divine art from beyond the heavens, so it must be connected to a great thousand world.”

“This matter is of great importance, so this seat immediately reported it to Enma. Unexpectedly, halfway through, that exotic dragon demon broke free from its restraints and fled the dojo, even abducting a disciple under this seat.”

At this point, Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva could not help showing a trace of anger.

“That exotic dragon demon has the protection of a great divine art. Even Enma cannot detect its tracks, so He ordered this seat to come to Kunlun to obtain the dragon child’s shed remains.”

“With the dragon child’s shed remains in hand, through the bloodline resonance between the two and by driving a supreme secret art, there is a considerable chance of tracing the exotic dragon demon’s whereabouts.”

Lu Wu knew in His heart that the exotic dragon demon was you, and the Bodhisattva’s abducted disciple was the White Elephant Demon currently hiding in the detached palace.

If it were an ordinary time, He would definitely have allowed Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva to obtain the treasure as soon as possible and quickly leave Kunlun.

But at this moment, He could not agree, because obtaining a specific treasure required holding Enma’s keepsake, which was that clump of gloomy black flame, and then entering the treasure mountain.

And the dragon child’s shed remains that the Bodhisattva needed were hidden inside Langfeng Peak…

Lu Wu knew that you were fated with the Dragon God, and there was a very high chance that you would enter the illusion of the Demon-Subduing Stele. At this moment, how could He dare allow the Bodhisattva to enter Langfeng Peak?

With this thought, Lu Wu’s expression did not change. He smiled faintly and said, “Manjusri, I have been trapped guarding this Kunlun for many years, and it really is dull beyond measure. Now that you have finally come here, will you not accompany me for a few cups of wine before leaving?”

“As for obtaining the dragon child’s shed remains, such matters can be handled by servants. Why would there be any need to trouble the Bodhisattva’s honored self?”

As He spoke, He shouted loudly, “Where is the Nine-Tailed Fox? Come quickly to pay respects to the Bodhisattva!”

When the Bodhisattva saw this, she arched a willow brow, but did not refuse.

Before long, the Nine-Tailed Fox walked gracefully out from the detached palace and bowed to the Bodhisattva.

After hearing the White Elephant Demon describe the situation outside the palace, she had long since interrupted her cultivation and hidden inside the palace’s Hidden Chamber together with the White Elephant Demon.

Now, only after hearing Lu Wu’s call did she walk out of the palace. Her thoughts were meticulous, and she did not say much. However Lu Wu wanted her to cooperate, she cooperated, and she absolutely would not reveal any flaw.

When Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva saw the Nine-Tailed Fox’s obedient expression, then looked at Lu Wu, she chuckled softly and said, “So you found a descendant. No wonder…”

“Such a joyous event indeed deserves a great drink.”

The Bodhisattva took out a bracelet from her sleeve and said, “Since she is Lu Wu’s descendant, she counts as a junior of our family. Let this Medicine Master Radiant Glazed Bracelet be a meeting gift.”

Seeing Lu Wu nod, the Nine-Tailed Fox repeatedly thanked her and accepted the bracelet, looking terrified and honored.

The Bodhisattva handed that clump of gloomy black flame to the Nine-Tailed Fox, then walked side by side with Lu Wu into the detached palace.

Lu Wu’s secret art voice transmission sounded by the Nine-Tailed Fox’s ear. “That Enma keepsake might contain the evil god’s will. Do not bring it into the treasure mountain.”

“With my ability, I can at most undo the treasure mountain restriction for the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense and let you return to the treasure mountain. You must find the dragon child’s shed remains during this time and bring them out!”

“If you can find your husband, instruct him not to come out. If you do not run into your husband, then retrieve the dragon child’s shed remains as quickly as possible.”

“Go and return quickly! You must obtain the dragon child’s shed remains before your husband comes out!”

“Quick!”

The Nine-Tailed Fox’s expression grew solemn, and she immediately flew toward Langfeng Peak.

Only after flying near Langfeng Peak did she quietly land and throw the gloomy black flame at her feet.

She was just about to fly toward Langfeng Peak again, but as soon as she rose, she stopped. After thinking for a moment, she also took off the Medicine Master Radiant Glazed Bracelet that the Bodhisattva had gifted her from her wrist.

She threw this string of extremely precious Dharma treasure beads at her feet as well, then flew toward Langfeng Peak once more…

Lu Wu invited the Bodhisattva to sit, brought out a jar of fine wine, and after patting away the mud seal, poured a full cup for the Bodhisattva with a smile. “Manjusri, this is good wine I have treasured for many years. If not for your arrival, I would not be willing to use such fine wine to receive just anyone.”

As the amber-colored wine was poured into the cup, the entire room filled with a rich wine fragrance. Just smelling it lightly made one feel the magic power in one’s body surge, and the mind become clear and awakened.

“Good wine!” The Bodhisattva gently removed her face veil, revealing an incomparably beautiful face. She did not stand on ceremony either, lifting the wine cup and draining it in one gulp. “Lu Wu, I’m afraid I am still benefiting from your descendant, the Nine-Tailed Fox. In the past, I never saw you be this generous.”

“Not at all, not at all. You jest…”

The two drank and chatted merrily, cups clinking back and forth. From the look of them, they seemed like old friends who had not met in many years.

[You only feel the world spin. When you open your eyes again, you see a huge stone stele before you.]

[Three prophecy-bone words are carved upon it: Demon-Subduing Stele!]

[The huge stone stele sits upon a central base. From the outer edge of the stone base, more than ten narrow stone bridges extend outward, connecting to more than ten buildings shaped like burial chambers.]

[These burial chamber buildings are dreamlike and illusory, as if they are not real existences.]

[Above every burial chamber stands a huge statue of a different strange beast. The statues are like dragons and yet not dragons, both resembling dragons and also possessing the prominent characteristics of different species.]

[You see a colossal monster statue with a dragon head and fish body. You also see a monster shaped like a giant turtle, yet with a dragon head and dragon scales. There are even divine monsters with dragon heads and wolf bodies, dragon heads and lion bodies…]

[The stone stele reads: Ancient legends say the dragon gave birth to nine sons, yet nine is a placeholder number. In truth, the Origin Dragon had many offspring, among which sixteen dragon children were first-generation direct offspring.]

[They are respectively Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Baxia, Bi’an, Fuxi, Chiwen, Taotie, Gongfu, Jiaotu, Chi, Hou, Qilin, and Pixiu.]

[The sixteen children were offspring born through union with great yokai such as ox, wolf, bird, toad, lion, turtle, tiger, fish, and others. Each dragon child is different, and all possess great divine arts…]
