Chapter 3169 – This Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring Is Mine
“According to the records of the Arhat Progenitor, it’s one hundred and eight thousand zhang beneath this ancient well. This should be the place.”
Wuyin the Enlightened said flatly. They too were enduring enormous pressure. No one was exempt from the extreme cold. Underwater, their strength was greatly reduced, nowhere near what it was above the surface.
“Amitabha, it really is here. The ice on those green lotuses is the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring. Only when it’s taken out from beneath this ancient well can the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring turn into spring water.”
Shenyin the Enlightened said in a deep voice, his eyes lighting up. Everyone’s gaze gathered on the green lotuses.
“A bunch of greedy humans. You shouldn’t have come here.”
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque’s voice echoed through the waters. Everyone’s face changed. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque slowly stood up once again, his hundred-zhang body as tall as a mountain. Only when everyone raised their eyes could they clearly see the Scarlet-Ass Macaque.
“What… what kind of demonic beast is this? How can it be so terrifying?”
Wei Xiaolong said in a deep voice, his face changing drastically. The instant this Scarlet-Ass Macaque came out, he had felt enormous pressure, even greater than the pressure of the extreme cold in the water. This big guy was definitely not easy to deal with.
“I didn’t expect that such a strange beast really existed between heaven and earth.”
Yueyin the Enlightened murmured, his face full of disbelief.
“Amitabha, you’ve guessed it too, Junior Brother.”
Wuyin the Enlightened looked at Yueyin the Enlightened, his voice gradually becoming serious. Wei Xiaolong was full of shock, but had no idea what kind of demonic beast this was. Several eminent monks of Tianluo Temple did not even dare to meet his eyes. One could imagine how powerful he was.
“It’s the Scarlet-Ass Macaque, the most terrifying strange beast under heaven, an existence even more terrifying than the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise and the Qilin.”
Wuyin the Enlightened said.
“The one from the legends, one of the Four Dimitrios Monkeys? Didn’t they say that was just a legend?”
Wei Xiaolong said in a deep voice.
“A legend? Heh. Legends all have a basis. The Four Dimitrios Monkeys are each incomparably powerful and extremely terrifying. They have leapt out of the Three Realms and are not bound by the Five Elements. Even when they meet a great calamity of heaven and earth, they can quietly survive it. They’re far more terrifying than any person or any expert. Even Great Emperor Realm experts fell in countless numbers, yet they could escape unharmed from the great calamities of heaven and earth. Bodies like vajra, strength like barbarian kings, unstoppable force that no one can block. That’s the Four Dimitrios Monkeys. The Scarlet-Ass Macaque is the most sinister, cunning and violent of them. His presence here must mean he was suppressed here by the Medicine Buddha.”
Shenyin the Enlightened said. He could see that the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was bound by chains all over his body, but from the look of him, he was not easy to deal with either. The moment he slowly stood up, everyone felt their breath catch. The pressure the Scarlet-Ass Macaque put on them was truly terrifying.
“He truly lives up to the legends of the ancient strange beasts.”
Wei Xiaolong took a deep breath. Everyone acted as though facing a great enemy.
Although the Scarlet-Ass Macaque was bound by chains, he could move freely within a thousand zhang. And the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring was behind the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. If they wanted to take the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring, they would definitely have to get past him.
“I’ll fight you!”
Yueyin the Enlightened shouted in a deep voice. This Scarlet-Ass Macaque did not seem that powerful. He should be able to suppress the beast on his own.
But the moment Yueyin the Enlightened made his move, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque suddenly threw a punch that tore the waters apart. The might of that single punch instantly left Yueyin the Enlightened unable to fight. He was knocked back, his injuries extremely serious.
“Junior Brother! Be careful, this evil beast isn’t simple!”
Wuyin the Enlightened caught Yueyin the Enlightened. Yueyin the Enlightened’s face was completely pale. Fortunately, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque did not seem to have used his full strength in that strike just now. Otherwise, he probably would have had a hard time surviving.
“This beast is way too powerful. Puff——”
Yueyin the Enlightened spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as ugly as it could possibly be.
“Amitabha. Junior Brother, rest for now. I’ll fight him.”
Wuyin the Enlightened nodded, but his heart was extremely heavy. This Scarlet-Ass Macaque was completely beyond their imagination. He did not seem that strong, yet he had gravely injured Yueyin the Enlightened with one move. He truly could not be underestimated.
“Everyone, let’s strike together. Otherwise, this Scarlet-Ass Macaque will absolutely never let it go.”
Wuyin the Enlightened’s words were naturally meant for Wei Xiaolong. It seemed they had to join forces this time.
“All right, what Wuyin the Enlightened says is very true. That Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring is a true supreme treasure under heaven. Even Great Emperor Realm experts would probably covet it.”
The corners of Wei Xiaolong’s mouth curled up slightly as he smiled calmly. Killing this Scarlet-Ass Macaque might be hard for them, but trapping him and then taking the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring should not be difficult.
“Amitabha, thank you for your trouble, Benefactor Wei. Of the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring, our Tianluo Temple will take only one portion. The remaining two portions will all go to Benefactor Wei. As for the final search for the Reincarnated Living Buddha, I ask that Benefactor Wei help our Tianluo Temple to the very last moment.”
Wuyin the Enlightened said.
Wei Xiaolong’s eyes lit up. The Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring was incomparably precious. He could keep one portion all to himself and give the other to Heaven Connection Divine Palace. This Wuyin the Enlightened really knew how to handle people.
“Rest assured, Wuyin the Enlightened. I naturally won’t let you down. When the time comes, Tianluo Temple’s affairs will be my, Wei Xiaolong’s, affairs.”
“Amitabha, with those words from Benefactor Wei, I’m fully satisfied. Thank you, Benefactor Wei.”
Wuyin the Enlightened and the others quickly attacked. The strength of five Half-step Divine Emperors could not be underestimated either. At this moment, combining the power of five people, they directly confronted the Scarlet-Ass Macaque head-on. In a fit of rage, the Scarlet-Ass Macaque swung a punch. The five Half-step Divine Emperors blocked it perfectly, and all its great power was dispersed.
The Scarlet-Ass Macaque was also extremely furious. At this time, the Late Hierarch experts had no power to fight back in front of the Scarlet-Ass Macaque and were almost wiped out in an instant. Wei Xiaolong’s face changed and his eyes turned slightly cold. But as long as he did not lose any Half-step Divine Emperor experts, it did not matter much to him. Although those few were also pillars of Heaven Connection Divine Palace, compared with Half-step Divine Emperors, their value was much lower. They had come prepared this time. Deaths and injuries were unavoidable. As long as the three of them could return safely to Heaven Connection Divine Palace, that was enough.
The five Half-step Divine Emperors attacked at the same time and finally managed to tie the Scarlet-Ass Macaque down for the moment. At this moment, Wuyin the Enlightened shouted in a deep voice:
“Junior Brother, quickly, take the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring!”
“All right!”
Yueyin the Enlightened endured the pain and at this moment turned into a streak of light, quickly heading around behind the Scarlet-Ass Macaque. Those three green lotuses were the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring!
“This Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring is mine.”
Yueyin the Enlightened’s eyes lit up, and there was a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. But when he plucked the green lotuses, his smile stopped abruptly in an instant.
