Chapter 188: The Battle Between Buddhism and Daoism… Bumping into Everything Will Only Hurt Yourself, Hey!

Perfectly, the fruit landed right between the two who were just an arm’s length away.
Without any hesitation, Yuan Qing and Chen Xiangzi opened their mouths and fiercely bit into the fruit!
“Crunch!”
The good news was they both simultaneously bit into the Five Elements spiritual fruit, foiling each other’s plans.
The bad news was this scene of them sharing a fruit was accurately captured by the director.
The audience erupted in astonishment.
“It seems… The relationship between the two contestants is quite good,” the male commentator said with a chuckle.
“This scene… I’ve only seen it at weddings.”
The antics of the Buddhist monk and the Daoist brought a climax to the atmosphere in the arena. The audience cheered, the hosts fanned the flames, and the mood was lively.
Unlike the excitement in the audience stands.
The Buddhist-Daoist side suddenly quieted down.
The monk’s face twitched slightly.
The Daoist’s breathing became slightly rapid.
“You… Let go,” the monk communicated telepathically, his grip on the sword loosening, “So many people are watching…”
“You let go first, then I will,”
The Daoist’s arm also weakened, “Still trying to deceive me at this point?” He was clear that if he let go now, the Five Elements spiritual fruit would surely be snatched by the other.
One or two fruits didn’t matter.
But what was at stake was a matter of pride and rivalry, which was important.
“Then let’s not let go,” the monk gritted his teeth.
“Heh.” The Daoist sneered.
Both exerted force continuously.
With a “crunch,” the Five Elements spiritual fruit split in half.
Both the Buddhist and Daoist sides got half, with no clear winner.
At the edge of the cliff.
A stone drum floated in the thick fog.
On it stood two figures, one old and one young.
“Now’s a good chance, everyone’s attention is drawn by the Buddhists and Daoists.”
A cultivator from the Great Light Sect spoke.
“Shall we act now?”
The other asked.
“The Demon Transmutation Method can only last for an hour, and there are two more obstacles left. We must send this great demon’s soul over before the method ends,’ The older cultivator pondered, “We should have enough time.”
“Alright.’
The younger cultivator nodded and took out a jade sphere from his storage magic item.
He crushed the sphere, releasing a pale green mist that merged with the white fog.
“Senior brother, this magic item can only last for fifteen minutes…” The younger cultivator spoke.
Above the sky, the Bifang mythical beast circled, overseeing everything.
It was to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of the contestants, as well as to monitor the competition and prevent cheating.
The mist from the jade sphere could conceal them from external scrutiny.
Even the Bifang could not see through this special mist.
Releasing it in this obstacle and merging it with the white fog was just perfect.
“I know.”
The older cultivator nodded, no longer dawdling.
He sat cross-legged on the stone drum and took out an ancient-looking stone box with strange patterns etched on it. He opened the stone box.
A withered eyeball appeared inside.
The older cultivator took a deep breath and cut his finger.
Blood dripped onto the eyeball, gradually covering it entirely.
Drops of blood gathered, filling the entire stone box.
The older cultivator’s aura became somewhat listless.
This blood wasn’t ordinary but his vital essence, closely linked to his very origin.
A strange transformation occurred at this moment.
Threads of vital essence rose in wisps. The blood in the stone box diminished while the withered eyeball gradually swelled and filled out, as if absorbing the essence in the blood.
After all the blood was absorbed, only a layer of dried scab remained at the bottom of the stone box, and the eyeball transformed into a blood pill.
“Crack”
A faint sound echoed as cracks appeared on the surface of the blood pill, spreading outward.
A dark red insect, about the size of a copper coin and with eight legs, crawled out from the blood pill.
On the back of this round-bodied insect grew a dark red eyeball, which moved nimbly.
The older cultivator picked up the eyeball insect and swallowed it.
He then began to chant a complex and obscure incantation.
The cultivator’s originally pale face turned as red as a boiled crab, suddenly flushed.
His expression twisted in apparent agony.
The older cultivator lowered his head, and his facial features deformed, gradually melting.
After some time, when he lifted his head again, the younger cultivator stepped back in shock.
On that face, devoid of features, were web-like black cracks forming a sinister pattern.
It was an eyeball shape occupying the entire length of his face.
“Let’s go,” the older cultivator spoke, his voice hoarse.
He took out a human skin mask from his storage magic item and put on a hood, concealing his appearance.
Inside the bronze coffin.
“It tastes a bit sweet,” Lu Xuan observed the screen.
He was not referring to the intense situation between the Buddhist and the Daoist.
But to the Five Elements spiritual fruit in their mouths.
Judging by their expressions, it seemed quite delicious.
Lu Xuan held a fruit in his hand, bright red and somewhat firm, resembling an apple to the touch.
After cleansing the Five Elements spiritual fruit with his magic power and cutting it open, he fed a slice to the little girl beside him.
“Thank you, Master,” Ye Banzhuang grinned, revealing her small tiger teeth.
Lu Xuan then bit into a fruit himself and turned to feed it to Cheng Lingzhu.
The Daoist and the monk were both fixated on the Five Elements spiritual fruit.
But for Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu, eating the fruit was not as important.
Lu Xuan, savoring the taste from his partner, suddenly stopped.
“Hmm?”
Cheng Lingzhu blinked several times in confusion.
Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu parted, swallowing the spiritual fruit in their mouths, “It seems like something is coming.”
Just now, Lu Xuan sensed that within this obstacle, a special presence had arrived.
It felt like someone had performed some kind of sacrificial ritual.
This was very unusual. freeweb novel.com
“Really?” 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝒄𝙤𝒎
Ye Banzhuang frowned slightly.
She closed her eyes, spreading her spiritual energy to cover the entire obstacle.
“I didn’t sense anything.”
Ye Banzhuang found it strange.
She wasn’t too worried about any unexpected developments.
With her Master there, any situation could be handled.
Lu Xuan tapped the spiritual energy screen a few times, and a dragon corpse raised its head, stretching its neck towards a direction.
There, a fuzzy shadow was rapidly ascending.
“The people from the Great Light Sect?”
Ye Banzhuang identified the identity of the group; the blurry shadow was the chariot of the Great Light Sect cultivators:
“Do they not need to pick the Five Elements spiritual fruits? Or have they already picked enough?”
Lu Xuan’s group had only casually picked a few fruits to taste, as the three of them were not participating in the ranking and had no need for extra points.
However, the actions of the Great Brightness Sect cultivators were a bit abnormal.
“No big deal.”
Lu Xuan was unconcerned, ready to intervene.
What exactly the Great Light Sect cultivators planned to do was still unknown.
And now, they were unaware that they had been marked by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan pondered, waiting for the moment when these two covertly prepared to make a big move, he would then step in to suppress them. At the commentator’s booth.
“The contestants from the Great Light Sect have a very clear goal.’
The male commentator said enthusiastically:
“It seems they have already picked enough spiritual fruits to qualify, and now they are aiming to pass the obstacle quickly to secure a high ranking.” “The approach of the Great Light Sect’s contestants is quite wise.”
The female commentator nodded, “After all, the real substantial points are obtained through the competition rankings. Spending too much time on extra points in this obstacle could be counterproductive.”
After all, the Five Elements vines grew on the cliff, and the cultivators had to personally pick the fruits, making it quite challenging.
Moreover, the contestants had to contend with a tenfold gravitational pull, resulting in significant energy consumption.
This was like taking an exam, where it was important to allocate time wisely. Focusing on the crucial and easily attainable points first was the key strategy..
