752 -752: Enlightenment Supreme Treasure

Twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls flew out, transforming into the form of a great formation that completely surrounded Jiang Liu.

At the same time, Jiang Liu could feel a confining force emerge, instantly binding his entire body and leaving him unable to move.

This feeling was as if every inch of his body was tightly tied up with ropes.

Phew!

Watching Jiang Liu completely restrained by the power of his own twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls, Maitreya Buddha secretly sighed in relief.

As expected of a Treasure, even if they were Quasi-Saints, even if their cultivation level was much higher than his own, once activated, it could successfully confine the target, rendering them immobile.

“Xuanzang, it seems that the secrets you hold are much greater than I had imagined!

The greater the secrets, the greater your schemes!”

After having restrained Jiang Liu with the power of the Sea Calming Pearls, Maitreya Buddha gravely stared at him and spoke.

“Buddha, do you think you’ve got me completely figured out?” Instead of replying to Maitreya Buddha’s supposition, Jiang Liu spoke.

“Oh?

Do you perhaps think you still have the ability to escape?” Seeing Jiang Liu’s unruffled demeanor under his Sea Calming Pearls’ confinement, Maitreya Buddha’s brow furrowed slightly as he asked.

“Buddha, I still believe that it’s best to let the facts speak for themselves!” Jiang Liu spoke again, his expression still calm.

As his words fell, a powerful force burst forth from Jiang Liu’s body to counter the confining force of the Sea Calming Pearls on him.

As Jiang Liu’s power erupted, the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls floating in mid-air began to tremble at that moment, emitting bursts of brilliant light as if confronting Jiang Liu’s power.

However, after a moment, this brilliance began to converge.

Simultaneously, the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls flew back towards Maitreya Buddha, transforming into a string of chant beads that wrapped around his wrist.

As the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls flew back, Jiang Liu felt the firm confining force on his body completely dissipate.

“No, this can’t be possible…”

Lowering his head to look at the chant beads in his hand and then at Jiang Liu, who had regained his freedom, Maitreya Buddha’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Among Quasi-Saints, there are stronger and weaker ones, but in Maitreya Buddha’s view, other than a few top Quasi-Saints like Minghe and Kunpeng, no others should be able to break free from the confinement of these twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls.

Yet!

Xuanzang managed to do it!?

“You should have known that these twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls could not possibly trap me!”

Jiang Liu himself found nothing strange about escaping the confinement of the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls; in fact, he thought it was all within the realm of expectation.

Before this, he had also held the Sea Calming Pearls in his hands and examined them.

Although they could confine a target, there was a precondition: the target’s level could not be more than 5 levels above that of the holder.

Maitreya Buddha is level 93, which means his Sea Calming Pearls can only trap targets of level 98 and below.

I am now level 100, so it makes sense that they cannot confine me, doesn’t it?

“Buddha, I also have a treasure here that can bind a target; would you like to give it a try?” After breaking free from the confinement of the Sea Calming Pearls, Jiang Liu stared at Maitreya Buddha and spoke.

With these words, without giving Maitreya Buddha a chance to react, an Eighteen-Rank Lotus directly emerged from Jiang Liu.

It then burst forth with a tremendous radiance, pressing down on Maitreya Buddha.

The Eighteen-Rank Lotus, capable of attack, defense, and also confinement.

However, its power varies depending on the user’s own level.

At level 100, Jiang Liu’s use of the Eighteen-Rank Lotus was naturally incomparable to before.

The tremendous radiance enveloped Maitreya Buddha, making him unable to move.

“This, this is…” Being bound by the power of the Eighteen-Rank Lotus, Maitreya Buddha felt his whole body immobile and secretly anxious within.

Terrible!

This Xuanzang’s cultivation level seems to be slightly higher than Wutian Buddha’s was initially?

Such cultivation makes him one of the top existences among Quasi-Saints, right?

What’s more important is the treasure in Xuanzang’s hands.

Originally, if his cultivation level was low, there wouldn’t be anything fearsome, but now, his cultivation has reached this terrifying level, so the emitted power is naturally extraordinarily frightening.

Having confined Maitreya Buddha with the power of the Eighteen-Rank Lotus, Jiang Liu simultaneously channeled a portion of his cultivation into the Absolute Immortal Sword.

Controlling the Eighteen-Rank Lotus to confine Maitreya Buddha didn’t require the level 100 him to channel all his power, just a portion was enough.

After channeling another portion of his power into the Absolute Immortal Sword, Jiang Liu raised the sword in his hands, and then, he chopped down towards Maitreya Buddha.

Another immense wave of Sword Qi appeared!

Watching the immense Sword Qi coming towards him, Maitreya Buddha’s pupils shrank to their limit.

Death!

The feeling of death was unprecedentedly intense!

As he faced the incoming Sword Qi, Maitreya Buddha felt an unmistakable threat of death.

Rustling!

However, just as the Sword Qi was about to strike Maitreya Buddha, suddenly a verdant green leaf appeared.

This verdant green leaf grew as it met the wind, positioning itself in front of Maitreya Buddha like a green shield.

With a loud thud!

The Sword Qi emitted by the Absolute Immortal Sword fiercely struck the green leaf, surprisingly producing a sound like that of clashing metal.

Then, the Sword Qi dissipated.

But on the green leaf, a crack nonetheless appeared.

“What is this thing?” Jiang Liu stared wide-eyed at the verdant green leaf that had blocked the attack from the Absolute Immortal Sword, finding it hard to believe.

Could there be such a powerful leaf in the world?

“What!

He, he managed to damage even this Holy Tree’s leaf!?”

Jiang Liu marveled inwardly at the resilience of the mysterious leaf, yet on Maitreya Buddha’s side, seeing that a crack had formed upon the leaf due to the Sword Qi, his expression was filled with disbelief.

Whoosh!

However, before Jiang Liu could make any move, the cracked leaf, as if coming to life, flew directly in front of Jiang Liu.

The leaf, growing as it met the wind, wrapped around Jiang Liu securely like a bedsheet, rolling him up tightly.

At this moment, the battle between Jiang Liu and Maitreya Buddha had reached a deadlock.

Jiang Liu’s Eighteen-Rank Lotus unleashed a restraining power, tightly binding Maitreya Buddha, rendering him immobile.

And Jiang Liu himself?

He too was wrapped up by the miraculous leaf like a bedsheet, similarly unable to move.

“Xuanzang, at this point, it seems neither of us can do anything to the other!” Seeing that Jiang Liu was wrapped by the leaf, Maitreya Buddha let out a sigh of relief and spoke.

Previously, his Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls’ restraint could be escaped, but Maitreya Buddha truly did not believe that the restraints brought by the Holy Tree’s leaf could be so easily broken.

“Hmph, what is this leaf!?” Jiang Liu, seeming unconvinced, struggled a bit and asked.

But no matter how much Jiang Liu struggled, the leaf held him tightly, rendering him unable to move.

“Since you have such a high level of cultivation, don’t tell me you aren’t aware that the Buddhist Sect has two Saints?

This leaf is from a Holy Tree called the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree!” Listening to Jiang Liu’s question, Maitreya Buddha openly explained.

“Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree!?” Hearing Maitreya Buddha’s words, Jiang Liu’s expression slightly changed.

Jiang Liu was naturally aware of the Saints’ Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree.

However, Jiang Liu still found it hard to comprehend and said, “Although your leaf comes from the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, my Absolute Immortal Sword is also a Saint’s Dharma Treasure, could it be?

This sword isn’t even comparable to your leaf!?”

Indeed, Jiang Liu found it hard to understand.

The Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree is a Saint’s Treasure?

So then, is the Absolute Immortal Sword not also a Saint’s Treasure?

A grand Treasure Sword, to be actually inferior to a leaf!?

Jiang Liu couldn’t believe it!

“Hahaha, Xuanzang, although your cultivation is high, your insight is lacking!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Maitreya Buddha couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Why are you laughing!?” Hearing Maitreya Buddha’s laughter, Jiang Liu frowned and asked.

“The Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree is a Saint’s Enlightenment Supreme Treasure, which are the treasures where Primordial Spirits reside, placed within the Heavenly Dao, like the Jieyin Treasure Banner, the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, the Tai Chi Diagram, the Pangu Banner, of course…”

At this point, Maitreya Buddha paused slightly, then his expression became a bit more serious, continuing, “Of course, that includes the Green Duckweed Sword as well!”

“The Four Swords of Zhu Xian, although formidable, are not Sect Master Tongtian’s Enlightenment Supreme Treasures!”

“So that’s it!” Hearing Maitreya Buddha’s explanation, Jiang Liu suddenly understood.

So that’s what Enlightenment Supreme Treasures mean?

So it means, while the Four Swords of Zhu Xian are formidable, Sect Master Tongtian’s most precious treasure is still the Green Duckweed Sword?

But what exactly is the difference between Enlightenment Supreme Treasures and ordinary treasures?

Jiang Liu was quietly puzzled and was about to inquire, but Maitreya Buddha already took the initiative to speak.

“Enlightenment Supreme Treasures contain the attached Primordial Spirits of Saints; even an ordinary stone can possess immense power, certainly not something a lifeless object like the Absolute Immortal Sword can compare with!”

“So, that’s how it is, thank you, Buddha, for resolving my doubts!” Jiang Liu spoke, his tone still respectful and courteous.

However, as his words fell, Jiang Liu took a deep breath, “But, time is getting late, Buddha, you should be on your way!”

Dispel Curse!
