Chapter 835 - 838: Fish Basket Guanyin

"What are you all...?" So many men shouting at her, wanting her as their bride.

Princess Miaoshan was furious, she wanted to act, but at that moment, her head was dizzy, and she vaguely saw a memory,

In the memory,

She was a very beautiful fisherwoman,

Just like today, holding a fish basket, with a fish inside, surrounded by many rough men, all proposing marriage.

...While Miaoshan was in a haze, Yang Tianzi, Old Master Crocodile, and Master Li the Fortune Teller were furious,

Who is Miaoshan?

The princess of Wudong Immortal Dynasty,

How could ordinary men dare to approach her?

Could an ordinary man pursue her?

The most furious was Yang Tianzi,

In the Immortal Emperor Realm, people were divided into classes, clearly separated by their status.

Poor people,

How could they match with the noble?

Yang Tianzi feared that if Miaoshan were seen with this group of lower-class people,

King Wudong would be furious, and Yang Tianzi might even face death.

If he died, what would happen to Xiu’er?

Thinking of this, Yang Tianzi wanted to act.

"Hold on." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement spoke up just in time, dismissively saying, "If you step in, it will interfere with Princess Miaoshan’s enlightenment of Buddhist martial arts."

Seriously?

Is it true or false?

Yang Tianzi’s expression was uncertain, unable to decide.

Princess Miaoshan did not understand the memory she saw,

In the memory, she seemed to be married to someone named Marang.

She looked at the person claiming to be Marang,

"You... are you Marang?"

"Yes, I am Marang." The servant nodded, although his real name was Qiu Er, not Marang. The Ancestor of Blood Refinement instructed him to do so, so he complied.

"Is it you? Is it really you?" Miaoshan’s tone was much softer.

Noticing Miaoshan’s change in tone, Yang Tianzi, Master Li the Fortune Teller, and Old Master Crocodile felt uneasy.

Could it be that Miaoshan has feelings for this person?

This is not allowed; if King Wudong found out, he would certainly be enraged.

If they did not stop it, they would be in grave danger too,

"This cannot be." Yang Tianzi shouted,

The beast soul he held in the Martial Emperor Realm erupted,

It was the fierce Xingxing Beast,

Legend has it, this beast looks like a monkey with white ears, able to crawl and stand upright, known as Xingxing, and its flesh allows one to run swiftly.

The fierce Xingxing Beast is the king among Xingxings.

Now, the beast soul appeared behind Yang Tianzi, three meters tall, robust, roaring as if ready to devour someone.

"Be silent."

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement, seeing the roaring Xingxing Beast, found the cries dreadful and uttered a hum, causing the sensitive beast soul to vanish out of fear.

"What?" Yang Tianzi was shocked.

He hurriedly asked in his heart what happened to the Xingxing Beast.

But the beast soul dared not answer.

At this moment, Miaoshan finally awoke from her stupor, her mind clear.

"You are not Marang." Miaoshan snorted at the person claiming to be Marang, preparing to act.

"Wait." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement stopped her, saying, "Think carefully now, do you remember anything?"

"Remember what?" Miaoshan was stunned,

Indeed, she remembered something, and upon thinking, her pupils shrank: "How... how is this possible?"

She waved the fish basket gently, her actions carried the demeanor of the Buddhist Sect,

Vaguely, she was surrounded by the Buddha Light.

"Is this... Buddhist martial arts?" Yang Tianzi’s jaw dropped,

Buddhist martial arts, compared to regular martial arts,

Are easy to distinguish,

For instance, when Buddhist martial arts are showcased, they illuminate with Buddha Light,

Seeing Miaoshan waving the fish basket, every movement so filled with Buddha Light, unmatched in the moment,

This is not just Buddhist martial arts; it is the superior Buddhist martial arts.

But holding a fish basket, proposed to by many,

Could she have learned it?

What logic is this?

It’s not just Yang Tianzi confused,

Master Li the Fortune Teller and Old Master Crocodile racked their brains but couldn’t understand either,

Heavens,

Could anything be more absurd?

Holding a fish basket, and able to master Buddhist martial arts?

Old Master Crocodile even wondered if he should hold a fish basket too?

One day wouldn’t work,

He’d take two days,

If two days didn’t work,

He’d take three days,

If still nothing,

He’d sleep with the fish basket,

Surely that must work?

Then Miaoshan suddenly looked at the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, her demeanor more respectful and polite, she bowed and asked, "May I ask, Ancestor of Blood Refinement, what’s going on?"

"Hehe, let me tell you a story, shall I?" The Ancestor of Blood Refinement smiled,

Miaoshan nodded.

Yang Tianzi and others were curious about the story,

They heard the Ancestor of Blood Refinement narrate,

It is said there was a place on the East Sea Coast. The people there, isolated from civilization, knew not of etiquette.

A great being from the Buddhist Realm, the Bodhisattva Guanyin transformed into a beautiful fisherwoman to enlighten them. Guanyin promised to marry whoever could recite the Buddhist scriptures she taught. A fisherman named Marang succeeded and was thus enlightened by the Bodhisattva.

This signifies that one must have faith in whatever they do, and with firm belief, they can receive the aid of the Bodhisattva Guanyin and influence those around them.

This is the legend of the Fish Basket Guanyin.

"Bodhisattva Guanyin? Such a great being, how come I’ve never heard of it?" Yang Tianzi was distressed,

"I get it, Guanyin’s three thousand manifestations, I... no matter what, the kindness of the Ancestor of Blood Refinement surpasses Mr. Wu Tian."

After the shock, Miaoshan expressed her gratitude to the Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

"You don’t doubt my abilities anymore?" The Ancestor of Blood Refinement chuckled.

"We... we were wrong." Master Li the Fortune Teller admitted,

Acknowledging that his thoughts were entirely exposed.

And they felt a metaphorical slap to the face.

But neither Master Li the Fortune Teller nor others hated it, realizing their initial mistake, doubting a person from the start.

Yang Tianzi, contemplating how to ask about Xiu’er, while Miaoshan, having learned the Buddhist martial arts, thought of going outside to practice.

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement nodded, but remembering something, said, "Remember, the fish in your basket has a name I gave, Great King of Numinous Power."

...Outside the quadrangle courtyard,

"Even Yang Tianzi is asking the Ancestor of Blood Refinement for advice; it seems this Ancestor’s abilities surpass Mr. Wu Tian’s."

The people outside began discussing the hottest topic of the day.

Wu Tian, Ancestor of Blood Refinement, who is superior?

In the Three Realms, rarely has there been a time when,

one person’s brilliance overshadowed everyone in the realms.

Such occurrences are rare, yet now, two have emerged.

"I think Mr. Wu Tian is still more powerful, even killing a Law Enforcer, clearly not fearing the Divine Emperor."

"Hehe, the Divine Emperor is busy with the affairs of the Lower Realm. Once he knows, a strike of Heavenly Thunder will annihilate Wu Tian."

"Yes, I think so too. The Ancestor of Blood Refinement has more inscrutable methods."

Amidst their discussion, Old Huangpi, the pangolin, stood up.

The pangolin couldn’t help it, and before Old Huangpi could react, joined the conversation: "You actually don’t know, in the Xiuyuan Realm, there’s a mysterious figure, not as grand as Wu Tian or the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, but certainly a third figure."
