Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1947 - 1947: A Vessel for the Buddha's Relic?

Ye Qing carried Wan Yan Yong's corpse and walked about three hundred meters in that stone corridor before putting down the body. Wan Yan Yong had been drained of his vitality by the Instantaneous Blossoms and had died of old age, so leaving him here in the stone corridor, no one would suspect that he had ever entered that burial chamber.After arranging Wan Yan Yong's body, Ye Qing didn't rush to leave. Instead, he stood there for a while, pondering. He had just memorized the entire Tianzhu Sword Technique, which was used to control the Tianzhu Sword, the same technique he intended to use to save Wen'er. However, Ye Qing certainly wouldn't hand over the Tianzhu Sword Technique directly to Du Canglang.

Initially, Ye Qing planned to create a fake version of the Tianzhu Sword Technique for Du Canglang. But with his current capabilities, creating a sword technique was impossible. Even if he managed to create one, Du Canglang, with his power, would easily tell if it was fake. Therefore, Ye Qing decided to slightly modify the original Tianzhu Sword Technique, changing some of its content. This way, while the general content remained unchanged, some details were altered. Even if Du Canglang got his hands on this modified version, he'd never suspect that Ye Qing had tampered with it. And using this altered technique to control the Tianzhu Sword would be impossible.

Ye Qing wasn't in a hurry to leave; he wanted to first figure out how to modify the Tianzhu Sword Technique. After the modifications, Ye Qing also needed to remember it thoroughly. Otherwise, if Du Canglang asked him about it and he answered incorrectly, Du Canglang would definitely become suspicious. To deceive Du Canglang, Ye Qing must first memorize the altered Tianzhu Sword Technique completely.

The content of the Tianzhu Sword Technique wasn't extensive, so making changes wasn't hard. Ye Qing casually altered a few words, such as changing the direction of Internal Breath flow. Originally starting from the Dantian, he modified it to start from the chest. The meridians it passed through were also altered. The changes were minor but completely changed the method of using energy, making the use of the Tianzhu Sword with these changes impossible.

After firmly remembering the modified Tianzhu Sword Technique, Ye Qing silently recited it several times to ensure he hadn't made any mistakes, feeling confident afterward. He stood up and strode out of the stone corridor. Walking through it once earlier, he hadn't spotted the Instantaneous Blossoms. After seeing those black flowers in the burial chamber, Ye Qing realized that the Instantaneous Blossoms were actually some kind of insect that could move. It was likely that the Instantaneous Blossoms sensed the presence of the Buddha's Relic on Ye Qing, which was why they didn't appear in the stone corridor. Anyway, with his current condition, even if the Instantaneous Blossoms did show up, he had nothing to worry about. Hence, for him, the stone corridor posed no danger, allowing him to walk out unreservedly.

After walking along the stone corridor for about two minutes, Ye Qing suddenly felt a slight movement in his left hand. Perplexed, Ye Qing looked at his left hand but saw nothing unusual. Scratching his head in confusion, he felt another wave of energy fluctuation in his left hand moments later.

This energy wave was very familiar to Ye Qing. It was the same type of fluctuation as the power of the Buddha's Relic in his right hand. But what surprised him was the appearance of this power in his left hand as well. How could it replicate the fluctuation that was normal for his right hand, now appear in his left hand?

As Ye Qing was overwhelmed with shock, the energy fluctuation in his left hand grew stronger. Moreover, a round bead appeared in the palm's center—just like the Buddha's Relic embedded in his right hand.

"Buddha's Relic?!" Ye Qing exclaimed, seeing clearly that the round bead in his left hand was indeed the Buddha's Relic. But wasn't the Buddha's Relic in his right hand? How had it suddenly appeared in his left hand? Could it be the Buddha's Relic could move freely within his body?

The energy fluctuation in the left hand intensified, manifesting the power of the Buddha's Relic. While Ye Qing was bewildered by this unexpected turn of events, his right hand also began to exhibit energy fluctuations identical to those in his left hand!

"What is going on?" Ye Qing, astonished, stared at both hands, having no clue about what was happening. Both hands now exhibited the same energy fluctuation from the Buddha's Relic, yet he had only one Buddha's Relic. How could both hands simultaneously show such power fluctuations?

The energy waves in both hands seemed to resonate, rapidly intensifying. Eventually, Ye Qing clearly saw a round bead appearing in his right hand, just like the Buddha's Relic.

On looking at his left hand, the Buddha's Relic was still there!

Ye Qing was stunned, his eyes fixed on his palms, where two Buddha's Relics appeared before him. After a moment of silence, he pinched his thigh hard, suspecting it was a dream. But the sharp pain assured him it was real, not an illusion or dream. He indeed had a Buddha's Relic in each hand!

This left Ye Qing more astonished. Why did he have a Buddha's Relic in each hand? Wasn't there only one Buddha's Relic in his body? Where did the second one come from?

Suddenly, a light of realization struck Ye Qing's mind, recalling the Buddha's Relic he had taken from the Master's stone coffin earlier. He remembered clearly placing that relic in his pocket. However, when he later looked for it, he was surprised to find it missing. Throughout the event, he hadn't felt the Buddha's Relic being lost. Despite later searching the Stone Chamber and Stone Corridor, he hadn't found the Buddha's Relic, perplexed over its sudden vanishing. But now, seeing the two Buddha's Relics in his hands, Ye Qing dared to entertain a bold thought.

Was the Buddha's Relic in his left hand the one he had taken from the stone coffin, which subtly integrated into his body without him noticing? Did it enter his left hand?

The thought made Ye Qing's heart skip a beat. After all, he still hadn't figured out how the first Buddha's Relic had integrated into his body in the first place. Now, another Buddha's Relic had merged into him, and the process was so bizarre, leaving him puzzled. Could he have become a vessel for these Buddha's Relics? Could they just integrate into his body at will?

Looking at his hands, Ye Qing wondered whether to feel troubled. The Buddha's Relic had effortlessly integrated into his body, resonating with the one in his right hand. Undoubtedly, having the Buddha's Relic in his left hand would make his left arm Vajra Indestructible, just like the right. But having two Buddha's Relics in him, if word got out, wouldn't it drive the world mad? Everyone would come seeking him to seize these relics!

"What's happening?" Ye Qing muttered quietly, but the empty stone corridor had no one to answer him. He stood there for a long time, staring at the Buddha's Relics in his hands until they gradually disappeared. Inside him, the Buddha's Relic's power constantly clashed with the Devouring Demon Flower's power, something Ye Qing was accustomed to. He thought having another Buddha's Relic would render the Devouring Demon Flower's power incapable of resisting its force. Yet that wasn't the case. The Devouring Demon Flower's power surprisingly withstood the Buddha's Relic's power, preserving Ye Qing's body from being torn apart.

Unable to unravel the reason, Ye Qing sighed, clenching his fists as he walked out. With the Buddha's Relic already residing within him, he could do nothing to change it and had to take things step by step. He was always concerned about when the Buddha's Relic would indeed tear his body apart!

Having traversed the stone corridor once before, Ye Qing moved faster on his way out. Soon, he stepped out of the stone corridor. Outside, Du Canglang stood anxiously at the crossroads. Wen'er was by his side, looking like he would kill her if Ye Qing didn't come out soon.

Foreigners and members of the Wanyan Family stood aside; Du Canglang hadn't killed them but hadn't let them leave either. It seemed he intended to use them for labor.

Seeing Ye Qing emerge, Du Canglang's face lit up despite himself, and Wen'er was thrilled, rushing to him in excitement: "Ye, you... you finally came out!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her voice choked, her eyes slightly red, clearly showing her concern for Ye Qing.
