The Post Sky Tipping Era

At this moment, Zhang Fanyin also realized that the Physical Bodhisattva Statue of the Heavenly Dragon Temple had attracted some powerful enemies. She immediately became alert and then said, "Li Yi, quickly put away this Physical Bodhisattva Statue, don't let it be seen by those with ill intentions."

"Easier said than done, this Physical Bodhisattva Statue contains the power of the Heavenly Dragon, it shakes the space, even approaching it is dangerous, to store it within a Magic Treasure, at least we need to wait until its power calms down."

Li Yi felt the force and still didn't dare to approach.

However, the power of this Physical Bodhisattva Statue was passively triggered, without conscious control, so it wouldn't last for a long time.

But its exposure was inevitable.

As the Brahmic music reverberated, the Buddhistic light suddenly appeared. The first thing to arrive over the ruins of Heavenly Dragon Temple was a robe, on which stood a bald monk with hands clasped together and a benevolent face. This monk looked about thirty years old, though standing still, he was like a great Buddha, imposing and awe-inspiring, and similarly accompanied by three monks in robes, whose presence was equally strong.

"It's the revered monks from Xiangguo Temple, they have come so quickly." Zhang Fanyin slightly moved her expression and whispered, clearly recognizing this group of people.

"I am Liaokong, greetings to the two laypersons." The leading monk politely bowed.

Li Yi and Zhang Fanyin both knew the visitors were not friendly, so they did not give a good response and remained alert.

"Brother Liaokong, the earthly body of the Heavenly Dragon Vast Power Bodhisattva, indeed the rumors are true, this Physical Bodhisattva Statue is in the Heavenly Dragon Temple, not found for hundreds of years, who would've thought it would appear today, this Physical Statue is destined for us at the Heavenly Dragon Temple, today it should be invited back." One of the monks beside said joyfully.

Monk Liaokong naturally also saw the Physical Bodhisattva Statue, but he felt the power of the Heavenly Dragon reverberating, otherwise, these two laypersons who arrived first would have invited the statue away already, not waiting until now.

Moreover... Monk Liaokong's gaze stayed on Li Yi; he felt Great Divine Power embodied within this person, though not manifested, if unleashed, it would surely be earth-shattering, not to be underestimated.

"Xiangguo Temple speaks of inviting the Physical Bodhisattva Statue from Heavenly Dragon Temple back, it's excessively arrogant, I don't agree." A coarse voice echoed, like a lion's roar.

Then came a burly giant bald man with robust muscles, holding a monk's staff, treading the Buddhistic light, appearing in the sky.

Behind him, several strong Martial Monks followed closely.

"Master Bu Huai of Jingang Zen Temple." Monk Liaokong recognized the person.

"An ancestor of mine practiced in Heavenly Dragon Temple, this Physical Bodhisattva Statue is profoundly connected to Jingang Zen Temple, today I shall bring this Physical Bodhisattva Statue back to Jingang Zen Temple to conclude this karma for my ancestor." Master Bu Huai said, his powerful voice reverberating between heaven and earth, dizzying to hear.

Monk Liaokong, however, was not angry, only smiled and said: "Whether this Physical Bodhisattva Statue resides in Xiangguo Temple or is brought back by Master Bu Huai to Jingang Zen Temple, cannot be decided by mere words, everything has predestined dharma."

"I am here, guided by the Physical Bodhisattva, seeking for destiny, the people of Xiangguo Temple should leave quickly, lest you provoke my anger and I transcend you all." This Master Bu Huai's temper was very fiery, glaring at them, murderous, truly like an angry Vajra.

"Even if I agree with Master Bu Huai taking the Physical Bodhisattva Statue away, the two laypersons won't agree." Monk Liaokong clasped his hands together, his eyes looking towards Li Yi and Zhang Fanyin not far away.

He was trying to divert the trouble towards Master Bu Huai.

No one wanted to clash with this reckless Martial Monk, lest others gain the advantage.

"Do the two laypersons also want this Physical Bodhisattva Statue?"

Master Bu Huai, then focused on Li Yi; although his Vajra-like appearance seemed furious, he was not really reckless, sensing Li Yi's extraordinariness.

To compete for this Bodhisattva Statue is not only about strength but also backing.

Without strong backing, even bringing the Physical Bodhisattva Statue back can't ensure long-term possession.

And Li Yi was not a monastic person, just a mundane cultivator, even with high cultivation, he posed the least threat; if possible, it was best to drive him away first.

Li Yi coldly said; "This Physical Bodhisattva Statue was found by me, destined for me, it should belong to me. You two baldies, seeing anomalies here hurried over and want to claim this Bodhisattva Statue for yourselves; that's just wishful thinking. If you know what's best today, scram now, or stay to keep company with the ruins of Heavenly Dragon Temple."

After speaking, he immediately took out the Shattered Star Long Spear, and with a casual swing, the Red Gold Divine Light splattered, directly eradicating the Buddhistic light, cleaving the sky, its terrifying sharpness made one's heart palpitate.

With just this casual strike, the strength revealed made Monk Liaokong and Master Bu Huai palpitate.

"Excellent cultivation."

Master Bu Huai couldn't help but exclaim: "But sir, you're not a monastic person, this Physical Bodhisattva Statue bears too much karma, you cannot bear it, I advise you kindly not to get entangled in this matter, lest you lose your life unnecessarily."

Li Yi said, "I'm also advising kindly, you baldies, leave early to avoid dying under my spear. Dying is a minor issue, if you bring great enemies upon your temples, ending like Heavenly Dragon Temple, it would be a huge loss."

"Stubborn fool, I will kill you." Master Bu Huai instantly raged, his Primordial Spirit Light radiated a Vajra image manifesting, he lifted his staff and lashed it towards Li Yi's head.

Body and spirit as one, Vajra power burst, incredibly formidable.

Li Yi, newly arrived in Brahma Realm, didn't know the strength of cultivators in this world; he used this chance to assess which tier he belonged to, whether he could confront these people.

Immediately, the Sixty Acupoints resonated, five-colored lights surged, his Shattered Star Long Spear erupted with boundless Divine Light, these glows converged, indestructible, meeting the opponent's strike.

Bang!

Heaven and earth trembled, with the residual power sweeping out, everything around seemed about to be destroyed.

Yet, at this moment, the Physical Bodhisattva Statue radiated Buddhistic light, enveloping all sides, protecting the ruins of Heavenly Dragon Temple, despite the residual power surging, the ruins remained intact.

Apparently, during Heavenly Dragon Temple's prime, having a Physical Bodhisattva Statue safeguarded it against many powerful enemies.

It's just unknown why the temple was destroyed and became a wasteland despite worshipping such a powerful Physical Bodhisattva Statue.

After the clash, Master Bu Huai's face changed drastically, his body involuntarily flew backward.

Even though he had Vajra power, he found it difficult to withstand.

Moreover, his staff was hit by the Red Gold Divine Light, creating a massive breach, with cracks appearing nearby; if fought several more times, his staff would shatter.

"Nothing but this, such strength and you wish to act viciously, today I'll send you baldies off together." Li Yi's strike tested the opponent's mettle, indeed strong, surpassing Mahayana Realm Immortals and Great Demons, yet limited.

It wasn't hard for him to kill them.

With this thought, holding the Shattered Star Long Spear, he attacked again.

"Such bravery, really think I can't kill you?" Master Bu Huai raged, golden light surged from his body, his form expanded, terrifying Vajra power continued to escalate.

Earlier was just a trial, in real life and death struggle, not necessarily losing.

"Good, they're fighting." Yet, onlookers from Xiangguo Temple rejoiced at the scene.

With both sides engaged, regardless of who wins or loses, it benefits them; Monk Liaokong's diversion whence trouble was ingenious, although Master Bu Huai wasn't mindless, his fiery temper prevailed.
