Divine Brilliance

Chapter 865: Xiantian Marrow

“Even if it is as you said, I have no regrets and am willing to do so...”

Her voice was not only filled with coldness and calmness, there was determination contained within.

Zong Shou predicted that would be the case and shook his head slightly, “However, have you thought about how even if there is an Unlimited Beginning and End, he might not be willing to reciprocate your wishes, that your life’s devotion would be a total waste in the end? Even those words said by the few Buddhist Ancestors might not come true?” action

After all, he was the so-called Unlimited Buddha. Naturally, he was really clear about his own thoughts.

He said these words because he couldn’t bear to hurt her and also due to that prophesy.

For him to break the Fate and Cause and Effects powers within was a little problematic.

However, if this woman changed her words herself and removed those Spiritual Words, it would make things much easier.

Jingyin was evidently stunned and looked toward Zong Shou at a loss like she was feeling weird about Zong Shou saying the words “reciprocate your wishes”.

She then laughed, “You really can see through my heart! I am serving the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha because of impure motives. My entire family died at the hands of those Demon Fire Evil Devils. The remaining few are coolies in the borders. If I want my loved ones to get away from their hardship, I can only place my hopes on the future Buddha. As long as he descends, he will be able to let the people of this world break free from this calamity...”

She then said leisurely, “Moreover, what else can I do with my situation than believe in the Buddha? It was said that the Sky Burning Lu Family controls 800 worlds in the outer region, a huge number of troops. When my Leping World was at its most prosperous, we had 200 Vajra but they were unable to do anything. Much less now?”

Zong Shou was instantly speechless. The so-called Vajra were the Spirit Realm Cultivators among the Buddhist Faction.

Vajra, Luohan, Bodhisattva and Buddhist Venerable, these four ranks coincided with the Spirit Realm, Celestial Realm, God Realm and Saint Realm.

Further above would be Buddhist Ancestor.

Till today, it was said that there were only 3 Buddhist Ancestors, the Past, the Present and the Primordial Beginning Buddha.

Speaking of which, it really made one feel helpless. Although they had 3 End Realm Experts, they started off too late and were being suppressed by too many powers.

Even if they were able to take down Cangling World, they wouldn’t be able to protect it. The Lu Family people chased them out right away.

Like what Jingyin said, this Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha was already their last hope. If they gave up on it, then there was really nothing left.

At this moment, Cangling World indeed didn’t have any ability to go up against the Sky Burning Lu Family.

He sighed and then shook his head, giving up on persuading her. He could only think of a way before he left this place.

At that point, he could just directly bring her away to let her see the outer region worlds or maybe she would change her mind then.

He had a thought which was to directly let this girl meet the other Jingyin.

He then asked curiously, “Why do you call those Lu Family people evil devils? From what you said, the people of this world all hate the Lu Family to the bone...”

Based on what he knew, although the Lu Family pillaged from the worlds, stealing their resources, the reputation of the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty had always been good.

After all, they had tens of thousands of years of accumulation and their methods were really gentle. They also had 800 medium-sized worlds as foundations which was more than enough to feed their entire race.

This was why they weren’t like other rising powers that were despicable and unscrupulous when pillaging.

They were known for their formation. Many worlds were able to advance and grow under the development and protection of the Lu Family.

This time Jingyin hesitated for a moment before speaking, “The Lu Family has rules that any of our Buddhist Faction disciples would be taxed by 60%. If we change our faith, then it would just be 40%. The people of this world have been educated and converted by hundreds of years of Buddhist faith so why would be easily converted?”

Zong Shou shook his head. This sentence was obviously not the full truth and she was just trying to get him to stop asking.

60% was actually not much compared to Yuanlian World.

It wasn’t too heavy and it was still acceptable.

If one couldn’t take it, then they could just change their faith.

In terms of virtues and kindness, the Lu Family had already ruled this world for 20 years.

The strength of the Buddhist Faction had already been swept clean and all kinds of kindness and help they had shown should have already been cleared.

However, there had to be other reasons for the people of this world to still be unable to yield.

Their firm beliefs toward the Buddhist Faction could be seen from the thick Wish Power accumulation within this world.

Jingyin wasn’t a shrewd person and was really pure. When she saw the slight unhappiness on Zong Shou’s face, she couldn’t take it.

She only thought that Zong Shou was furious and changed her words, “Although the taxes are heavy, they aren’t much. However, the Lu Family will take 1 out of 10 kids of the Cangling World. Afterward, no one knows what happens to them. They just say that people of our Cangling World have special body qualities...”

Before she was able to complete her sentence, she was interrupted by a cough.

Zong Shou looked out to see a middle-aged beautiful nun who stepped out from the forest.

Looking at Jingyin whose face was flushing red, she sighed, “There is actually no need to hide it from you, you just needed to ask around and you would have found out. People of our Cangling World have special body qualities and are born good at controlling fire. It is said that when all babies are born, their brains contain a bit of Xiantian Fire Essence Marrow. This was quite helpful to the Lu Family. Many people guessed that the kids were taken to be refined into pills...”

“Xiantian Fire Essence Marrow?”

Zong Shou was at a loss, pulling Jingyin into his arms.

He grabbed her wrist and then looked carefully into her meridians. Moments later, a look of enlightenment appeared in her eyes.

That was really the case, such a thing really existed in the brains of the Cangling World people.

It should have appeared after they were given born and as time went on, it would be infected by the dirty air and impurities around.

For example, Jingyin currently only had a bit remaining.

However, if people of this world cultivated Fire Element Cultivation methods, they would be really efficient and improve really quickly.

As for this Xiantian Fire Essence Marrow, there weren’t many benefits to cultivators but, they were huge treasures to the Lu Family people.

They used it to refine pills or craft artifacts or consumed them directly. They would have benefits and would be able to strengthen the Bloodline Powers.

This was also why the Lu Family people only took babies.

He instantly felt disgust in his heart. If before this he wasn’t willing to join their side because of his parents, then at this moment, he was truly disgusted and wanted nothing to do with this race.

To obtain the Xiantian Essence Marrow, the babies had to be eatene, so what was the difference between that and cannibalism?

Such beast-like people with hearts of animals actually had the same bloodline as him.

Just thinking about it made him feel really uncomfortable.

“Which was why although the Lu Family taxes us lightly, the people of the Leping World want to chase them away at every moment. We hope for the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha to descend on this world.”
