Chapter 327: Three Pure Ones from One Qi!
The scene unfolding on the screen left everyone utterly stunned. Even after the image faded, many were still unable to recover from their shock.
While Sun Wukong remained in a state of constant amazement throughout the broadcast, he was one of the few who managed to analyze the events while watching intently.
[Sun Wukong: This physical cultivation technique is truly incredible! It withstood so many attacks, some from Quasi-Saints, and even Saints, yet every single one was neutralized. The most shocking part is that Jieyin emerged completely unscathed!]
Each moment of the broadcast etched itself deeply into Sun Wukong's memory. It became an unforgettable experience for him.
If the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique had initially left him awestruck, then the Arhat Golden Body was something he dreamed of obtaining.
Despite wanting both techniques, if Sun Wukong had to choose, he would abandon the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique without hesitation.
This was because he knew the Arhat Golden Body suited him better. His innate divine abilities would be significantly enhanced when combined with this extraordinary body.
Sun Wukong took pride in his physical prowess, which had helped him overcome countless challenges and mitigate serious damage time and again.
But no matter how much he desired the Arhat Golden Body, it was forever out of his reach. First, it was a Buddhist technique, and Sun Wukong saw himself as a mortal enemy of the Buddhist sect—a foe with irreconcilable differences, making any peaceful interaction impossible.
Moreover, the Arhat Golden Body was among the highest-level techniques in Buddhism, personally imparted only by Saints. For Sun Wukong, being taught such a skill was an unattainable fantasy.
Even if Sun Wukong somehow stood before a Saint, Jieyin would never share such a powerful technique. Within Buddhism itself, very few were privileged enough to learn it, and not all who attempted succeeded. The difficulty of mastering the Arhat Golden Body was monumental.
For the first time, Sun Wukong began to despise his indestructible Copper Skin and Iron Bones, forged in Laozi's alchemy furnace.
But no matter how much disdain he held for it, this innate ability remained invaluable. At the very least, it provided consistent protection against significant damage—far more reliable than the distant dream of the Arhat Golden Body.
The display of such a powerful technique ranked ninth thrilled Buddhist disciples to no end.
[Tathagata Bodhisattva: This demonstrates the pinnacle of Buddhist techniques. Jieyin, worthy of his Saint status, has mastered this art to perfection!]
Aside from the Buddhist Saints, none understood the Arhat Golden Body better than Tathagata Bodhisattva. At the peak of Quasi-Saint status, he too had practiced the technique and knew the difficulty of perfecting it.
For this reason, Tathagata was not surprised by Jieyin's ability to withstand so many attacks. To him, it was completely natural.
[Guanyin Bodhisattva: Jieyin is the ultimate goal we aspire to!]
Guanyin's words rang true but were ultimately futile. It was an unattainable goal. Buddhist disciples were advised not to aim for such heights, as it was impossible to achieve. Even Tathagata himself had no confidence in reaching that level.
[Tongtian Jiaozhu: The Arhat Golden Body truly lives up to its reputation. It seems Jieyin has been tirelessly cultivating during this time!]
As a Saint, Tongtian Jiaozhu recognized the formidable power of Jieyin's technique. He couldn't help but be curious about its remarkable defensive capabilities.
Interestingly, Tongtian Jiaozhu excelled in offensive techniques. During the ancient Investiture of the Gods battle, Jieyin was only victorious due to the combined efforts of Zhunti, Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun.
Now, after all these years, everything had changed. Jieyin's strength had clearly grown, and significantly so. Previously, Tongtian Jiaozhu had been confident he could defeat Jieyin. Now, he wasn't so sure.
[Zhunti: Even we Saints must never stop cultivating and maintaining inner peace at all times!]
[Nuwa: Since when did Buddhist techniques become so powerful?]
Nuwa found herself perplexed. In her impression, Buddhist techniques were diverse and unique in their applications but never this powerful. Today's rankings had completely overturned her perception.
[Jieyin: Buddhist techniques have always been this profound. Perhaps the Saint Nuwa has simply not observed closely. If you wish to explore further, I would be happy to exchange insights with you.]
Jieyin maintained a calm demeanor, even extending an invitation to Nuwa. However, Nuwa showed no interest and did not respond.
Relations between Nuwa and the Buddhist Saints had never been particularly amicable, making mutual exchanges highly unlikely. This dynamic might change under external pressures, such as a summons from their shared teacher, Hongjun Saint, to attend a lecture.
Nuwa shook her head in response to Zhunti's earlier remarks. She was unconvinced by his words and remained resolute in her own thoughts, showing no interest in engaging further.
[Di Jun: It seems that whether it's the demon race or the witch race, our proud physiques pale in comparison to a single Buddhist technique!]
Di Jun was visibly disheartened. The demon race's supposed area of expertise had been utterly eclipsed.
Yet his frustration wasn't entirely justified. The power of the Buddhist technique ultimately stemmed from its practitioner, Jieyin.
The overwhelming strength of the Arhat Golden Body and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique heightened everyone's anticipation for the upcoming rankings.
If the techniques ranked tenth and ninth were already so incredible, what horrors awaited in the higher ranks?
Even with their wildest imaginations, none could fathom the true power of these techniques. Such was the might of the Saints.
Finally, amidst the anticipation, the eighth-ranked technique was revealed. This one, however, was particularly unique.
