Chapter 458: The Misfortune of Guiyuan Buddha

"When did it become your turn to speak?" Xuan Yuan\'s eyes widened in anger.

Immediately, Xuan Yuan released his own destiny aura, causing Piaoxiang Bodhisattva to feel a deep fear in her heart, her face showing signs of pain.

Guiyuan Buddha glanced at Xuan Yuan and waved at Piaoxiang Bodhisattva to indicate that she should remain silent. Piaoxiang Bodhisattva promptly closed her mouth.

Zhong Shan watched coldly. When Guiyuan Buddha looked at Zhong Shan, he remained wary of Tian Ling\'er. To become the foremost Buddha in the Pure Land, Guiyuan Buddha had to be incredibly powerful. Even though Xuan Yuan released his own destiny aura, revealing himself as a Celestial Realm expert, Guiyuan Buddha remained unafraid. He was confident that he could forcibly take someone away even in Xuan Yuan\'s presence.

The only person Guiyuan Buddha was cautious of was the unfamiliar woman who seemed unaffected by his destiny aura and could even reflect it back. Who was she? Could her destiny be stronger than his? Unless she was an immortal, but immortals couldn\'t exist in this world.

Unable to discern Tian Ling\'er\'s true identity, Guiyuan Buddha decided to test her.

He raised his right index finger to the sky, releasing a powerful aura. His eyes conveyed a sense of disdain for all life.

Seeing this gesture, Xuan Yuan\'s eyes grew cold, and anger flared in them. He clearly understood Guiyuan Buddha\'s intention.

Zhong Shan did not understand the gesture, but Tian Ling\'er suddenly looked shocked. She extended her right hand and pushed it forward.

Seeing Tian Ling\'er\'s response, Xuan Yuan was momentarily stunned. Guiyuan Buddha took a deep breath, retracting his finger, and his eyes filled with solemnity. He then placed his right hand horizontally at his abdomen, lifting it slightly to his chest, and looked at Tian Ling\'er with a confident expression, as if challenging her.

Xuan Yuan watched coldly, taking a deep breath before turning to Tian Ling\'er.

Tian Ling\'er, seeing Guiyuan Buddha\'s action, was slightly stunned. She shook her head and extended both hands, pointing all ten fingers downward.

Now, everyone was watching Tian Ling\'er and Guiyuan Buddha\'s silent confrontation. Only Xuan Yuan seemed to understand, his eyes growing increasingly serious before he smirked coldly at Guiyuan Buddha.

Guiyuan Buddha, seeing Tian Ling\'er\'s gesture and shaking her head, raised an eyebrow in surprise and increasing solemnity. He then clasped his hands together, lifted his right foot, and lightly stomped the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground below rippled like a wave, turning up fresh soil.

Guiyuan Buddha finished his action and looked at Tian Ling\'er with a cold expression.

Tian Ling\'er, seeing his move, showed a hint of disdain, flipping her hand to reveal a small cloud in her palm before looking up at the sky.

Seeing Tian Ling\'er\'s action, Xuan Yuan showed a look of astonishment and uncertainty in his eyes.

Guiyuan Buddha, witnessing this, reacted as if he had received shocking news. His hand trembled, clearly shaken by Tian Ling\'er\'s response.

Guiyuan Buddha took several deep breaths, his eyes filled with disbelief as he pointed at the cloud in Tian Ling\'er\'s hand. Tian Ling\'er tossed the cloud beneath her feet and stood upon it.

At this moment, Guiyuan Buddha\'s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, but ultimately, he seemed resigned. He clasped his hands together and took a few deep breaths before bowing respectfully. The oppressive destiny aura he had been emitting was quickly withdrawn, as if he dared not act rashly in front of Tian Ling\'er.

"May I ask your esteemed surname?" Guiyuan Buddha finally couldn\'t hold back his question.

The moment he spoke, it meant his Silent Meditation had been broken! Although it was regretful, he couldn\'t help but ask. Piaoxiang Bodhisattva beside him was filled with panic. Broken? How could this be? The woman before them had broken the Buddha\'s Silent Meditation?

"My surname is Tian. Now, you should leave!" Tian Ling\'er replied impatiently.

With a slight bow, Guiyuan Buddha and Piaoxiang Bodhisattva instantly disappeared, leaving the scene.

At this point, Xuan Yuan looked at Tian Ling\'er with immense shock and confusion, his eyes full of uncertainty.

"Friend Xuan Yuan, is something wrong?" Zhong Shan asked immediately.

"Is what Princess Ling\'er said just now true?" Xuan Yuan asked, looking at Mr. Shi nearby for confirmation.

"What do you mean true? Refusing that bald guy? Of course," Tian Ling\'er replied quickly.

"Refusing? What refusal?" Xuan Yuan asked, puzzled.

Tian Ling\'er also looked at Xuan Yuan with confusion. What was he talking about?

Zhong Shan seemed to realize something and looked at Xuan Yuan, asking, "What did the riddle between Guiyuan Buddha and Ling\'er mean just now?"

Xuan Yuan adjusted his emotions and looked at Zhong Shan, saying, "Guiyuan Buddha pointed to the sky, boasting \'I am supreme in the heavens and earth.\' Princess Ling\'er responded by extending her five fingers and pushing forward, meaning \'The five decays of celestial beings, you will die sooner or later.\' Guiyuan Buddha raised his hand in front of him, lifting it slightly, indicating \'Destiny elevation, immortal life.\' Princess Ling\'er shook her head with both hands pointing downward, signifying \'Surrounded on all sides, you will meet a bad end.\' Guiyuan Buddha stomped the ground, saying \'Pure Land, who dares to be impudent?\' Princess Ling\'er flipped her hand to reveal a small cloud and looked at the sky, indicating \'From the clouds above, I come from the heavens.\' Guiyuan Buddha, unsure, pointed at the cloud, and Princess Ling\'er stepped on it, symbolizing she came from the upper realms."

Tian Ling\'er was stunned, her mouth agape. Could it be interpreted that way?

"I noticed Princess Ling\'er\'s destiny is extraordinary, like that of an immortal. Could she truly be from the upper realms?" Xuan Yuan asked, still uncertain.

Seeing Tian Ling\'er\'s expression, Zhong Shan realized there had been a huge misunderstanding.

Turning to Tian Ling\'er, he asked, "Ling\'er, what just happened? What did he ask, and how did you respond?"

"Well, didn\'t they say they wanted to invite you to the Pure Land earlier?" Tian Ling\'er asked.

"Yes, Piaoxiang Bodhisattva said that," Zhong Shan nodded.

"I wondered why the bald guy wanted to invite you. Then, he raised one finger and said, \'Invite you for a meal,\'" Tian Ling\'er explained.

"Invite me for a meal?" Zhong Shan\'s expression turned peculiar.

Xuan Yuan was dumbfounded. Invite for a meal? Zhihuo, Qinghong, and others couldn\'t help but laugh.

"Yes, so I extended my hand and clearly told the bald guy we weren\'t going," Tian Ling\'er continued.

Thinking about Xuan Yuan\'s interpretation of \'the five decays of celestial beings,\' Zhong Shan\'s expression grew even stranger. Qinghong struggled to contain her laughter, and even Xuan Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

"The bald guy then made a gesture with his hand on his chest, lifting it slowly like a bowl. He must have been saying, \'Then come to the Pure Land for porridge!\'" Tian Ling\'er said.

"Invite me for porridge?" Zhong Shan\'s face became more unnatural.

"Yes, so I extended both hands, showing him \'We don\'t even want to eat, how could we go for porridge?\'"

Tian Ling\'er looked as if her explanation was perfectly logical. At this moment, Qinghong and Zhihuo couldn\'t hold back any longer and burst into laughter. Xuan Yuan stared at Tian Ling\'er in disbelief. Drinking porridge?

"What about later? When Guiyuan Buddha stomped the ground, making new soil appear, what did that mean?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Oh, the bald guy said, \'If you don\'t eat, you won\'t have the strength to walk!\'" Tian Ling\'er replied.

Even the most stoic Lin Xiao couldn\'t help but laugh, and Mr. Shi showed a rare smile. Xuan Yuan stood there like a wooden statue, processing the idea that not eating would make you unable to walk.

"And then?" Zhong Shan asked again.

"Then I summoned a cloud to tell him, \'I don\'t need to walk; we can fly in the sky,\'" Tian Ling\'er said with a touch of disdain.

"After that, the bald guy still didn\'t believe me and pointed at the cloud, thinking it was too small. So I made the cloud bigger, stood on it to show him, and dispelled his idea of inviting us to eat," Tian Ling\'er said.

"Oh no, I can\'t take it anymore!" Qinghong clutched her stomach, laughing to the point of breathlessness. Zhihuo was wiping away tears from laughing so hard.

"Hahahahaha!" Lin Xiao finally broke into wild laughter.

Mr. Shi shook his head with a smile, looking astonished. This mix-up was monumental. Guiyuan Buddha, you\'re on your own now.

Xuan Yuan, who had initially been dumbfounded, stood there like a wooden sculpture, and finally understood. He felt an urge to laugh aloud at the situation. Guiyuan Buddha, even you have your bad days.

"Did I say something wrong?" Tian Ling\'er asked Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan was overjoyed. Guiyuan Buddha indeed had the worst luck encountering Tian Ling\'er. If he didn\'t need to maintain his authority in front of his subordinates, he would have shouted in joy.

"You truly are my lucky star," Zhong Shan said, holding Tian Ling\'er\'s hand.

Ever since their first meeting, whenever Tian Ling\'er was around, unexpected surprises followed. From their adventures on Sky Wolf Island to now, despite the dangers, they encountered numerous lucky encounters. And now, such a powerful Buddha had been effortlessly dealt with by Tian Ling\'er.

"More than a lucky star, I heard that Guiyuan Buddha\'s Silent Meditation is a formidable technique, yet Ling\'er broke it. If Guiyuan Buddha knew, he would definitely be furious," Qinghong said, still laughing.

"Indeed, the Silent Meditation is one of the powerful techniques of the Pure Land. I can\'t believe it was broken today. Truly, it must be destiny," Xuan Yuan said, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Commander, should we spread the word to annoy Guiyuan Buddha?" Lin Xiao asked with a grin.

"Of course, we should. At the very least, we need to make him weep in front of a green lamp for three days and nights! But not now. Let\'s wait until we\'re within the territory of the Great Luo Dynasty," Zhong Shan said with a laugh.
