Guarding the Prison for 100 Years, I Emerge to Overwhelm the Demon Venerable

"There’s something strange about this fiery meteor shower."

The Rebirth Buddha Venerable’s expression was a little grave as he looked at Su Bai, who stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

’This man... he’s gotten even stronger!’

For some reason, the Rebirth Buddha Venerable felt a sense of oppression in his heart.

Over the past five years, this Boxing Saint Daoist had sought him out more than once to discuss the profound Dao. Their conversations ranged from Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques to the state of the world, from the changes of past and present to the evolution of the future.

Thus, he could perceive Su Bai’s profound changes with extreme clarity.

In his entire life, he had never seen anyone progress at such a terrifying speed.

Five years ago, he had been unwilling to act, but he had calculated in his heart that he still stood a chance in a fight.

But now, he suddenly realized that even with Su Bai standing motionless with his back to him, he had lost all thought of attacking.

Or rather, he had lost the courage to attack.

Watching this man’s power leap forward again and again had a much greater impact on him than if they had actually fought and he had been defeated.

"In the starry sky, the stars are as numerous as the sea. A few falling from it is nothing to be concerned about."

Su Bai said faintly, his back still to the Rebirth Buddha Venerable.

"The Star Sea is boundless and infinite. Although a Feathered one can traverse the Star Sea with a Dharma Aspect, they still cannot fathom its depths."

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to know a great deal."

The Rebirth Buddha Venerable asked, seemingly out of curiosity.

In truth, he was indirectly probing, trying to learn about Su Bai’s origins and tutelage.

The cosmos was vast and boundless.

Throughout history, it wasn’t that no one had tried to explore the cosmos; it was just that they had reaped very little from their efforts.

Many Feathered and Ascension Immortal Realm beings had once traversed the starry expanse, but even when they returned at the end of their lifespans, they had discovered nothing.

Beneath the boundless cosmos, it seemed this world was the only one.

But those who knew the secrets of the cosmos invariably came from ancient lineages, or were old monsters from antiquity who had reincarnated.

"You old Monk, you’re still trying to get to the bottom of things, aren’t you?"

Su Bai chuckled, naturally aware of the Rebirth Buddha Venerable’s intentions.

In this world, there were many, many people who were suspicious of his origins.

Because he had appeared out of nowhere, and his rise had been too fast—even faster and more terrifying than that of the Netherworld Venerable Master back in the day.

If he had taken a few hundred years to build up his reputation, perhaps they wouldn’t have such doubts.

However, Su Bai naturally didn’t care about what these people thought.

"I cannot hide it from you, Fellow Daoist."

The Rebirth Buddha Venerable shook his head with a bitter smile.

"In this world, there are no dragons or serpents of unknown origin, to say nothing of a Divine Dragon such as yourself, Fellow Daoist!"

"This humble Monk is truly curious. I wonder if Fellow Daoist would be willing to enlighten me?"

"Too much curiosity is not a good thing."

Su Bai turned around, glanced at the old Monk, and then asked with curiosity of his own:

"I’ve heard that within the Wansheng Institute, there are two Supreme Techniques, the Great Sun Tathagata Scripture and the Prajna Venerable Buddha Scripture. It is said that by combining the two, one can attain the Dao!"

"I wonder, Fellow Daoist, if you might be willing to share a bit of them with me?"

Upon hearing this, a look of helplessness appeared on the Rebirth Buddha Venerable’s face.

"Amitabha Buddha. This humble Monk has misspoken."

He placed his palms together and said no more.

The Great Sun Tathagata Scripture and the Prajna Venerable Buddha Scripture were the eternal legacy of the Wansheng Institute. They were two complete, classic techniques. Legend had it that by combining them, one could attain the Dao and reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

He would naturally not divulge them easily.

Of course, he didn’t know that Su Bai had already obtained all the secrets of the Wansheng Institute.

The numerous discussions of the Dao over the past five years were not just discussions.

The power of his Divine Thoughts had long since surpassed that of this old Monk. Even if he used a Divine Thought Incarnation to enter the Wansheng Institute’s most secret Collection Pavilion, no one would ever know.

Su Bai smiled faintly and said, as if casually:

"I’ve heard that Prajna is the ancestor of All Buddhas, and the word Tathagata can be called supreme. Combining the two is the theoretical limit of the Buddhist Dao."

"If one were to cultivate this new Cultivation Technique, could they directly achieve the Feathered state and ascend to another world? I wonder if that’s true or false."

"In the ten thousand years of the Wansheng Institute’s history, no one has ever successfully combined the two Supreme Techniques, Tathagata and Prajna."

"As for the talk of achieving the Feathered state and ascending, it is merely a rumor passed down through misinformation. It cannot be taken as truth."

The Rebirth Buddha Venerable seemed very modest, not daring to exaggerate in the slightest, afraid that the Daoist before him would bring up exchanging Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques again.

Previously, Su Bai had already taken many of the Wansheng Institute’s Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques under the pretext of an exchange.

"Your Wansheng Institute has such a long heritage. It’s one thing that you can’t compare to me, but why is it that even Elder Gui Chen can suppress you?"

Su Bai sighed, his tone tinged with regret:

"The Dao becomes clearer through debate. To treasure one’s own worn-out broom will ultimately make progress difficult."

The heavens and earth are vast, the universe boundless. Even for Feathered beings and those in the Ascension Immortal Realm, it would be difficult to travel the entirety of the Four Seas and Five Continents, let alone the vast cosmos.

This made him feel more and more that many people’s paths of the Dao had gone astray.

Perhaps in ancient times, one or a few heaven-defying geniuses had succeeded by a fluke, and in doing so, led all the Cultivators of countless future generations astray.

It wasn’t impossible.

That was why so many people regarded their Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques as more important than their own lives.

"Pass on the scriptures, but not the method. This is the ancestral master’s final instruction. This humble Monk dares not disobey."

The Rebirth Buddha Venerable shook his head slightly.

In the past five years, although the Boxing Saint Daoist Temple that Su Bai had established did not widely open its gates, the beginning portion of the Fist Scripture he created had already spread throughout the world.

It had caused a huge uproar in the Cultivation Realm.

This Fist Scripture was an unranked Cultivation Technique that Su Bai had deduced by applying his own innumerable insights, supplemented with some Merit Points.
