Chapter 341: Chapter 256: The Buddha’s Son Did the Killing, What Does That Have to Do With Yang An?

’If I kill him, will I get more attention?’

’If I kill him, will Great Virtue Temple no longer have a Buddha’s Son, only me, the Holy Child?’

’So why not kill him?’

’Kill him?!’

A figure appeared before him—the silhouette of Hai Shu Bodhisattva from Great Virtue Temple. A massive black hand suddenly shot out to grab him.

Guang Hui was suddenly startled.

’No!’

He abruptly came back to his senses and squeezed his eyes shut again.

’My mind is in turmoil. I should be focusing all my energy on cultivation, on improving myself as quickly as possible. How can I be thinking about such things at a time like this?’

’But... but...’

’No!’

’As long as I can break through to the Visceral Stone realm, I won’t be any worse than him.’

’I’m the Holy Child! The reincarnation of Zhenyuan Bodhisattva!’

Guang Hui once again tried his utmost to calm his mind and continue cultivating.

The Dharma Assembly grew quiet, with only the unending chants of the Zen Masters lingering in the air.

Yang An’s body was still being "roasted" by the flames, but no one could help him.

The fiery light grew larger and larger, gradually engulfing his entire body.

Just as worried expressions appeared on the faces of the onlookers outside the main area, the fiery light suddenly shot toward the sky before rapidly retracting back into Yang An’s body.

The Monk’s Robe he wore was scorched black, but Yang An’s face showed no sign of pain. Instead, he looked relieved.

’The Tribulation Crossing was a success!’

His Highness the Buddha Prince has successfully passed his Tribulation Crossing!

Seeing this, the crowd that had been watching Yang An intently all breathed a collective sigh of relief.

They had been terrified that some accident would occur during the Buddha’s Son’s Tribulation Crossing. Thankfully, everything was fine.

Seeing that the tribulation had subsided, the crowd began to whisper amongst themselves and prepare to return to the main area.

Since the Buddha’s Son had already broken through a Great Realm, they figured this was surely the end of it.

The Yuan Si realm couldn’t compare to Visceral Stone. A breakthrough within a Small Realm of Visceral Stone was not nearly as easy as in Yuan Si.

"Let’s all head back."

Lingering at the edge of the inner field, unable to closely observe the Zen Masters’ preaching, would diminish their experience.

The crowd began to return to their original spots within the assembly grounds.

But just as everyone was about to head back, the Mana that had condensed into what looked like a vast white fog suddenly pulsed again.

At this, everyone froze, their faces stunned once more.

’No way. Again?’

There were only two people in the main area now: one Buddha’s Son, one Holy Child.

Countless gazes swept over the Holy Child, Guang Hui, before turning in disbelief back to the other figure.

’He broke through again?’

A massive amount of Heaven and Earth Mana converged on Yang An’s position, forming what looked like a pure white lotus around him.

And at that very moment, Yang An’s Cultivation Level had risen from the Early Stage of Visceral Stone to the Middle Stage of Visceral Stone.

He had clearly just passed his Tribulation Crossing! How did he break through again?

This time, it wasn’t just the onlookers; even the Zen Masters presiding over the Dharma Assembly were stunned.

It wasn’t unheard of for someone with true Wisdom Root Talent to break through multiple times during a Dharma Assembly, but that usually only happened at very large-scale events.

For example, an assembly with at least a dozen Zen Masters or even a Bodhisattva personally participating might produce such a spectacle.

The greater the cultivators participating, the grander the phenomenon of coalescing Heaven and Earth Mana—a gift from the Buddhas.

But this Dharma Assembly was much smaller, with only a few Zen Masters in attendance.

And yet, this was happening.

This could only mean one thing: the Buddha’s Son’s Wisdom Root and talent were terrifying!

If anyone had still harbored doubts about the Buddha’s Son’s identity as a True Buddha Reincarnation, those doubts were now completely gone.

Only a true True Buddha Reincarnation could possess such terrifying Wisdom Root and talent, an inheritance from a past life.

At the same time, despite their surprise, they felt a growing excitement.

The more people who broke through during the assembly, the greater the gift they, the presiding Zen Masters, would also receive from the Buddhas when it concluded.

Perhaps the temple would even have a special reward for them afterward.

’A breakthrough... another breakthrough...’

Guang Hui didn’t open his eyes, but he could already sense the phenomenon outside. Beneath his eyelids, his eyeballs trembled rapidly.

Although he could no longer sense the level of the Buddha’s Son’s cultivation aura, he knew it was him who had broken through once again.

A foul air seemed to be trapped in his chest, impossible to exhale.

’Why did he break through again? Why?’

’I was so close, just a little bit more, and I could have broken through to Visceral Stone and caught up to that guy.’

’Just a little bit! A little bit!’

As if stimulated by the Buddha’s Son, the Heaven and Earth Mana that had gathered around Yang An suddenly trembled again. A portion of it then split off and enveloped Guang Hui.

This development immediately drew everyone’s attention once more.

’What’s happening?’

’How did the Holy Child break through too? Are these two competing with each other?’ 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The crowd couldn’t even remember how many times the two had broken through combined. For these two, raising their Cultivation Level was as easy as drinking water.

’They’re both monsters!’

’Although, if we’re being honest, the Buddha’s Son is the bigger monster. The Holy Child clearly can’t compare.’

A smile spread across Guang Hui’s face. He opened his eyes and couldn’t stop himself from laughing out loud.

He had broken through too, from the Yuan Si realm to Visceral Stone.

’I was a little slower, but I still have a chance to catch up and surpass him. I still have a chance to prove myself.’

’The gap between us is only a single Small Realm. There’s still time. The Dharma Assembly is far from over.’
