Chapter 1522: Chapter 1523: Ye Mo Is Summoned Back
"Iâm warning you in advance, Iâll only teach you this one seal, no more exceptions, and you must promise not to blood refine me anymore."
Talisman Fatty grumbled angrily. When Blood Lunar Fairy taught Ye Mo Lifeblood Refinement, Talisman Fatty was startled, fearing Ye Mo might blood refine him. Once refined, he would indeed become Ye Moâs exclusive Fatty.
"Alright, as long as you can teach me one seal stronger than the Nine Stages Nine Practices, I wonât force you anymore. But in the future, donât beg me to blood refine."
Ye Mo clapped in agreement. Ye Mo had often tried to get Talisman Fatty to teach him seal crafting, but Talisman Fatty never agreed. Finally catching him at a disadvantage now, Ye Mo could extort one seal.
"Hmph!"
Talisman Fatty sat cross-legged in the space of the Suppression Celestial seal, arms crossed, and said, "Given the strength of your Divine Venerable Nine Souls power, if you want to maximize the power of a seal, I do have one suitable seal. Itâs called Nine Heavens Thunderbolt. In terms of grade, itâs considered a Demi-Immortal Talisman, created by an Immortal Talisman Master who perceived the thunder of the Ninth Heaven. If you can wield this seal to its fullest, you could threaten even the Devil Holy Mother at her peak, though merely a threat, incapable of harm; she possesses the Fairy Body of Water and cannot be killed in one strike, rendering any effort futile. Moreover, with your current power, executing it would likely drain all your strength."
The immortal world is divided into nine realms, and the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt belongs to the Immortal Thunder of the Ninth Realm, with tremendous power.
"Is the Demi-Immortal Talisman at the same level as the little girlâs?"
Ye Moâs interest was piqued, and he couldnât help but ask.
"Far from the Human-shaped Talisman Seal. I know your thoughts; with your current methods, youâre far from able to craft that Human-shaped Talisman Seal. If it fails, the memory stored in the charm will be destroyed. Even if you manage to craft it, it would just be another person."
Talisman Fatty immediately guessed Ye Moâs thoughts, but to truly revive the little girl, one must reach the level of an Immortal Talisman Master.
"I understand. Without a hundred percent certainty, I wonât attempt it."
Ye Mo nodded. That drop of Rune Spirit Tears holds the little girlâs memory. If the memory is nonexistent, then itâs not the little girl.
"Alright, kid, remember the rune pattern of this seal well!"
Next, Talisman Fatty demonstrated the crafting process of the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt before Ye Mo, who memorized it bit by bit. There were areas in this seal that Ye Mo couldnât comprehend, completely beyond his understanding. For an ordinary charm master, the bizarre patterns on the charm paper would be inscrutable, constantly changing without any apparent logic, transcending secular seal realms.
Later, during his travels with several girls, Ye Mo began familiarizing himself with the crafting method of the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt, until two months later, Ye Mo finally mastered it.
At this time, Ancestor Bodhi had summoned him back!
After two months away, the five super first-rate forces were not the only ones anxious; even Ancestor Bodhi was concerned. If they found out Ye Mo had been idly adventuring, they would likely be baffled.
Bodhi Island, Bodhi Hall!
Whoosh!
Ye Mo darted inside, reaching the entrance of the inner hall.
Ancestor Bodhiâs voice echoed at that moment, signalling for him to enter.
Ye Mo chuckled, not hesitating, and walked straight in to see Ancestor Bodhi sitting to the side.
In the hall, there was another person, a woman in a white dress, appearing as a virtuous fairy. She glanced at Ye Mo, then withdrew her gaze.
Ye Mo recognized her; it was the Saintess of the Ancient Buddha Clan, Jiumo Xin.
"Master, itâs been a while, youâre looking younger than ever. Look, the wrinkles are less than before."
Upon meeting Ancestor Bodhi again, Ye Mo couldnât help but jest, having heard that Ancestor Bodhi had nearly mobilized the five super first-rate forces to summon him, eventually getting the message to Ye Mo.
And it took a whole month.
One can imagine Ancestor Bodhiâs expression was quite remarkable back then.
"Youâre lucky you didnât anger me to death as your master. While the Devil Holy Mother is about to regain strength, youâve been frolicking around. Is this your solution?"
Ancestor Bodhi said, slightly vexed, "Alright, let me introduce you. This is the Saintess of the Ancient Buddha Clan, Jiumo Xin. You two should be acquainted."
"The renowned strongest on the continent, of course, I know her. But does Ye Mo remember me?"
Jiumo Xin smiled.
"The Saintessâs smile captivates cities; how could I forget?"
Ye Mo responded with a smile. Regarding Jiumo Xin, any man would remember after just one glance. Indeed, she was a standard beauty.
"No need for introductions then. Actually, I summoned you here not for my sake, but for the Ancient Buddha Clanâs intention. Theyâve heard youâve displayed various Buddhist martial pursuits and want to invite you to the Ancient Buddha Clan."
Ancestor Bodhi said.
"Go to the Ancient Buddha Clan?"
Ye Mo had little fondness for the Ancient Buddha Clan!
"Ye Mo, itâs related to Shariputra, I hope youâll visit the Ancient Buddha Clan!"
Jiumo Xin said.
"Shariputra?"
Ye Mo was amazed, as Shariputra formed from the Primary Buddhaâs incinerated relic bones, containing the zen wisdom of the Primary Buddhaâs lifetime. Generally, new Buddhas, after incineration, cannot form Shariputra.
Thus, Shariputra is extremely precious in the Buddha Realm, and those formed from Primary Buddhas with more profound Buddhist law after death are even more valuable. Obtaining one, and comprehending it, guarantees significant improvements in cultivation.
"Indeed, it seems Ye Mo, you have some understanding of Shariputra."
The Saintess smiled gently.
"Alright then, Iâll accompany you to the Ancient Buddha Clan, but I need to go back and say goodbye first!"
Perhaps acquiring Shariputra could significantly boost his cultivation, making this an invaluable opportunity. However, visiting the Ancient Buddha Clan, Ye Mo didnât know how long heâd stay, so he needed to bid his family farewell.
One day later, Ye Mo sorted everything out and headed to the Ancient Buddha Clan with the Saintess.
The Ancient Buddha Clan used to be an esoteric force, so its location is in an isolated space similar to the Dan Clan of the Wraith Land. To reach the Ancient Buddha Clan, one must be transmitted via a portal.
Upon arrival, the Buddhist Sect Master personally came to greet them. While Ye Mo previously encountered the Buddhist Sect Master several times, they had no interaction. Now, as Ye Mo becomes the continentâs top cultivator, the Sect Master naturally had to be gracious.
Buddhist structures, mainly pagodas and Buddha statues, regularly resounded with the sound of bells.
Though the disciples of the Ancient Buddha Clan believe in Buddhism, they donât count as belonging to the Buddha Gate. True members of the Buddha Gate observe ascetic rules, discarding worldly desires, but the Ancient Buddha Clan merely believes in Buddhism without adhering to other ascetic rules.
