Heart-Cleansing Temple.
In front of Qin Nan was a monk in a tattered kasaya. He had a ponytail on his head and was sitting on a stone chair with his legs apart. He was hugging a giant dragon leg with his chubby hands. He was none other than Yuanji.
Not far from him was a bald middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with a small mustache on his chin.
"Ah, so you're the famous successor of the Immortals, Qin Nan, it's an honor to meet you!"
The middle-aged man was the first to react. He grabbed Qin Nan's hands with a warm smile.
"And this is …"
Qin Nan looked at Yuanji.
He had just used the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle to scan the middle-aged man. He realized the man was only a Human God.
"This is a core disciple of our sect, Yuanjue. He used to be a reputable Exceptional Genius too."
Yuanji collected his thoughts and wiped the grease on his lips.
He was an Exceptional Genius of the Ancient Bodhi Temple. His cultivation had long reached the Heaven Immortal Realm, and he had mastered many kinds of Bodhi Eyes. As such, he immediately recognized Qin Nan as soon as Qin Nan came in.
"Used to?"
Qin Nan's eyes glittered. He brought his fists together and said, "Cultivator Yuanjue, nice to meet you."
Yuanjue waved his hand and said, "Master Qin Nan, since you're familiar with my Junior Brother, please don't be so courteous. I'll go get the dragon meat, we can talk while we eat."
With that, he hurriedly ran into the courtyard.
Yuanji let out a sigh and transmitted his voice, "My Senior Brother is unlucky. He ended up awakening the Bodhi Slaying Flesh when he achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm."
Qin Nan was startled. Yuanji continued, "The Bodhi Slaying Flesh is a strange flesh that can strengthen one's cultivation by killing people of Buddhism. The more you kill, the stronger your cultivation will be."
"My Senior Brother is devoted to Buddhism. He was worried that the Bodhi Slaying Flesh would affect him one day, so he destroyed his cultivation and ended up like this."
Qin Nan frowned. "Is there no way to resolve it?"
Yuanji shook his head and said, "No, even a Master of Dao won't make any difference. This is because the Buddha Slaying Physique is a great curse created by an extremely terrifying existence of the Demonic Dao in the ancient times. No one can dispel it. "
Qin Nan's heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, he felt that these words were a little familiar.
"Come, Almsgiver Qin, have a taste of my cooking!"
At this time, Yuanjue had already walked out from inside, carrying a huge jade basin with pieces of fragrant dragon meat in it.
Qin Nan picked up a piece and took a bite. An exquisite sense of beauty immediately rose in his heart. He couldn't help but praise it as he continued to eat.
"This prince will also try some!"
Doom swallowed his saliva and reached out his claws, grabbing half of it.
"Ten Ancient Evils? Benefactor Qin, can you let this poor monk take a look at it? "
Yuan Jue's eyes lit up.
"No problem."
Qin Nan immediately summoned the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
"Hey, Qin Nan, you haven't told me why you're here."
Yuanji asked.
"I'm going to have a breakthrough, but I need to fight an Exceptional Genius of Buddhism to have a chance of succeeding."
Qin Nan said.
Even though he was quite close to Yuanji, he could not tell him the truth.
"Oh? Are you serious? "
To his surprise, Yuanji and Yuanjue's eyes glittered.
"What is it?"
Qin Nan was startled.
"Hehe, Qin Nan, you've come at the right time. We have always been on bad terms with Priest Liujie of the Heart-Cleansing Temple. That guy has been trying to pick on us since he achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm. "
"Look at our shop, there used to be more than twenty of them, but only one is left now."
"Since you're here, you can help us eliminate him!"
Yuanji rubbed his hands excitedly.
Yuanjue frowned and said, "Yuanji, how can you kill a disciple of your own sect? I think you should just cripple him. "
Qin Nan and Doom's lips twisted upon hearing this.
How were they still disciples of Buddhism?
They were clearly two demons!
"If I were to make a move, it would be fine. However, you should know what I've been up to lately. If my identity is exposed, it's going to bring me great trouble. "
"Besides, how am I supposed to teach him a lesson? I can't just barge into your sect and challenge him to a duel, right …? "
Qin Nan shook his head.
He was planning to keep Yuanji inside the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.
"HAHAHA, you don't have to worry about the two things you mentioned. I can alter your aura and appearance. I can guarantee that no one will know your identity within a day, unless a Nine Heavens Supreme is here. "
"Besides, Liujie has been recruiting disciples at the Heart-Cleansing Temple since he achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm. He's located quite far away from our sect."
Yuanji burst out laughing.
Qin Nan's heart shuddered upon hearing the words.
"By the way, Master Qin, do you know about the Battle of Will?"
Yuanjue asked. Qin Nan immediately shook his head.
"The Battle of Will is a duel between two people without using any Immortal Arts. The duel only relies on one's will."
"Our Ancient Bodhi Temple is different from the other Supreme Daoism factions. Any outsider is allowed to challenge our monks in the Bodhi cities, temples, or even our own sect."
"As long as the difference in cultivation isn't too huge, it doesn't matter if the duel ends up crippling the duel."
Yuanjue purposely emphasized when he mentioned crippling the duel.
"Oh? That's interesting. "
Qin Nan's interest was aroused.
It was easy to understand why the Ancient Bodhi Temple would do such a thing. They were trying to train their disciples with the help of experts and geniuses.
Some experts and geniuses were using the duel to train themselves too.
"Hehe, Qin Nan, you might not know this, but Empress Feiyue once came to our Ancient Bodhi Temple before she achieved the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm. She took on six peerless monks on her own and won the duel. She claimed great benefits too."
"With your cultivation, you should have no problem taking out Liujie. Why don't we increase the stakes before the Battle of Will …"
Yuanji said with a wink.
"The disciples of the same sect are terrifying."
Doom shuddered. Luckily, he did not join any faction in the past.
"If that's the case, I don't mind accepting the challenge."
Qin Nan nodded after a slight ponder.
He could indeed take part in the duel under the circumstances.
Besides, both of them were trying to cripple Liujie. It should not be a problem if he accidentally put the man into the Ownerless Heaven Pattern, right?
"As expected of my brother!"
Yuanji and Yuanjue were excited.
"Qin Nan, let's not waste any more time. Five Buddhas in the Sky, Great Change!"
Yuanji made his move. He performed a hand seal, summoning five enormous Buddhas in the courtyard. They each fired a Bodhi glow at Qin Nan. It entered Qin Nan's body.
