Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 1916 - Old Buddha Nantai

A black rift appeared in the hall. A hunchbacked old man with white prayer beads around his neck walked out from it.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan was startled.

He felt an overwhelming presence from the old man even though he was not emitting any aura. Nothing could possibly stop him once he unleashed the destructive force in his body.

"Master, you're here at last!"

Yuanji and Yuanjue blurted out in joy.

"Greetings, Old Buddha Nantai!"

Many elders soon wore a helpless look, but they quickly greeted respectfully without any hesitation.

Old Buddha Nantai was a unique existence in the Ancient Bodhi Temple. He indulged in food, gambling, and was cursing all the time too. He did not behave like a Buddhist.

Yuanji and Yuanjue were deeply influenced by Old Buddha Nantai.

However, despite the complaints from the disciples and how infuriated the authorities of Ancient Bodhi Temple were, they were still unpunished.

Rumors said that Old Buddha Nantai was their Patriarch's brother, but it was yet to be proven.

"Master, basically, what happened here is..."

Yuanji glanced at the elders while transmitting his voice. He did not forget to exaggerate the incident.

"Humph, you call yourself elders of the Heart-Cleansing Temple? How is everyone going to see the Ancient Bodhi Temple once the news spread to the public?"

Old Buddha Nantai's words shook the hall vigorously.

"Old Buddha, regarding the matter..."

The elders had troubled looks on their faces.

"Hehe, we have nothing to worry about now that my master is here. My master is strict when it comes to bets..."

Yuanji transmitted his voice to Qin Nan.

Qin Nan was his guest. He would feel embarrassed if he allowed the others to pick on Qin Nan.

"However, your intention was good, I am pleased."

The Old Buddha Nantai's tone switched all of a sudden.

The elders, Yuanji, and Yuanjue were stunned.

Qin Nan looked at Yuanji with a weird expression.

"Master, what do you mean..."

Yuanji was about to say something as he collected his thoughts.

"Kids aren't allowed to interrupt when adults are talking!"

The Old Buddha Nantai hit Yuanji on the head. Yuanji's eyes widened. He could only murmur no matter how hard he was trying to speak. He could not even transmit his thoughts.

"Old Buddha, we were thinking...'

The elders spoke when they realized they still had a chance to turn the tables around.

"What did I just say? Kids shouldn't interrupt when adults are speaking."

Old Buddha Nantai harrumphed coldly. An overwhelming aura loomed over the elders. They began to tremble with wide eyes.

In addition to them, Qin Nan too was dumbfounded.

What did this Old Buddha Nantai want?

"Qin...ah, young man."

Old Buddha Nantai said with a friendly smile, "It's inappropriate to let you take Liujie away, but it's fine if you're willing to go to the Bodhi Pond."

Qin Nan's eyes turned cold.

He was well aware of what the Bodhi Pond was used for.

The elders immediately let out relieved sights; so that was what Old Buddha Nantai was up to.

"Well, I'm not asking you to stay in the Bodhi Pond for too long, a day will do. It's unwise for you to stay in it for too long," Old Buddha Nantai said with squinting eyes.

"Just...a day?"

Qin Nan was startled.

The elders had an urge to vomit blood too. They did not expect the sudden turnaround.

The Bodhi Pond was capable of converting all living things into following the teachings of Buddhism. Normally, it would take four to five months to convert an Exceptional Genius.

It would take at least seven months to convert someone as talented as Lin Nan.

What difference was a day going to make?

He was obviously helping Qin Nan!

"Old Buddha, Great Bodhisattva Guangming won't agree with it!" the Great Elder blurted out.

Great Bodhisattva Guangming was Liujie's master, an authority in the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm, someone with great influence in the Ancient Bodhi Temple.

The Great Elder swallowed the rest of his words when Old Buddha Nantai cast a brief glance at him.

However, Qin Nan frowned as he realized something.

"This Old Buddha Nantai accidentally said the word Qin just then. He clearly knows who I am. What is he trying to achieve by asking me to stay in the Bodhi Pond for a day?"

Qin Nan was immersed in deep thoughts.

He believed someone like Old Buddha Nantai must have a reason for the things he did.

"Young cultivator, just take my advice. If you don't, that bald donkey Guangming will surely come and take your life, giving you a lot of unwanted troubles."

Old Buddha Nantai chuckled as he suddenly transmitted his thought, "Besides, there's no way I will hurt you since you are close with Feiyue."

Qin Nan's heart skipped a beat.

This Old Buddha Nantai was a friend of the copper mirror?

"Fine, I shall follow senior's advice," Qin Nan brought his fists together and said after a brief pause.

He had no clue how close Old Buddha Nantai and the copper mirror were, but he knew Old Buddha Nantai could easily take him down with force if he wanted.

He should be relieved that Old Buddha Nantai was going easy on him.

However, Old Buddha Nantai was clearly up to something too. He should take one step at a time and adapt to the circumstances.

Old Buddha Nantai smiled. He waved his hand, summoning a golden Bodhi gate.

"This gate will bring you to the Bodhi Pond."

Old Buddha Nantai flicked his finger. A talisman landed in front of Qin Nan. He said, "Show this talisman when you're inside, they won't do you any harm. I'll see you again in a day."

Qin Nan nodded. He stepped into the gate and vanished into thin air.

The elders could not help but watch it happen.

Yuanji was able to speak again when Old Buddha Nantai waved his hand. He blurted out after holding back the words for so long, "Ah, you old prick, didn't you know he's my brother, why did you send him to..."

Old Buddha Nantai rolled his eyes. He looked at Yuanjue and said with a calm smile, "Why haven't you visited me after ten years? You ungrateful disciple, didn't you know I've been waiting to eat your dishes?"

Yuanjue's eyes dulled. He said, "I've given up on cooking..."

Old Buddha Nantai waved his hand before Yuanjue could finish his sentence, "Come see me in five days."

He disappeared after finishing the sentence.
