“Huh?”
Hearing the words of the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect, Lu Ming felt somewhat bewildered and instinctively felt his body.
Then, he let out an earth-shattering, ghost-wailing shriek:
“Ah... Oh... I don't want to live anymore!”
Because he realized he was completely naked, suspended upside down as the Sect Master held him by his foot!
At this point, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect quickly flipped Lu Ming right side up.
“How did you end up like this, kid?”
Lu Ming covered his face. “Why didn't you put some clothes on me?”
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect shrugged. “I'm just an old man. I don't have any clothes that would fit you!”
Lu Ming: “...”
“You could have at least found any random piece of cloth to cover me up!”
“You can't just let me fly naked across half of the Xuantian Continent!”
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect grinned at Lu Ming. “You've turned into a three-year-old toddler. Who's going to care if you're naked?”
Lines of black appeared on Lu Ming's forehead as he glared at the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect.
Seeing Lu Ming's adorable yet fierce expression, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect chuckled. “Fine, fine! Here you go!”
With that, he took off his outer robe and handed it to Lu Ming.
“There, there... Don't say I'm stingy. I don't have my storage bag on me, so I don't have any spare clothes!”
Lu Ming took the robe and clumsily threw it over himself. Well, it reached all the way down to his ankles, saving him the trouble of needing pants. After all, he didn't have any anyway!
Then, Lu Ming quickly inspected his body. Projecting a reflection with a spirit crystal, he discovered he had actually turned into a three-year-old child!
Next, he examined his internal condition. With his Mahayana stage cultivation, the fourth layer of the Qingshan body refining technique seemed to be complete!
Then, he observed his dantian. It was still the same black vortex dantian! Nothing had changed there!
Just then, Lu Ming's eyes lit up. He discovered that his Weapon Vault and the Equality Secret Realm authority token were both being nurtured inside his dantian.
Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh in relief. It was a good thing he hadn't lost these two items!
He rubbed his face, not knowing how to describe his current state of mind. A three-year-old body... Was he supposed to grow up all over again?
But... why did it feel so bizarre? Though he was alive, this was simply too weird!
Lu Ming wasn't surprised that he had survived. After all, he was a man with the Protagonist Halo over his head! How could he die so easily?
Even if the protagonist died, the great Heavenly Dao would find a way to resurrect them!
“By the way, why did you turn into this?” Seeing that Lu Ming had finished sorting himself out, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect couldn't help but ask.
He was truly curious about what had happened to Lu Ming!
Lu Ming then recounted everything that had occurred in the Thunder Pool.
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect nodded. He hadn't expected Lu Ming to actually master the Qingshan body refining technique...
“How about I test your body refining technique?” the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect suggested.
“Sure!” Lu Ming was also eager to try.
Boom! Lu Ming was blasted backward!
...
“Though your body refining technique hasn't reached great completion, it has achieved minor success. Not bad, not bad at all. It's truly not easy to achieve this in our current, resource-depleted state!”
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect, who was now missing a trouser leg, praised him with satisfaction.
Lu Ming, who had the missing trouser leg wrapped around his rear, nodded in agreement.
He also hadn't expected his body refining technique to be so effective.
“Let's go, back to the Qingshan Sect!”
Hearing this, Lu Ming remembered something and abruptly looked up at the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect. “Can you find the sect? I offended quite a few people from the ancient powers back then, so the Grand Elder and the others moved...”
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect gave Lu Ming a strange look, then pulled out his Sect Master token.
As he channeled spiritual energy into it, a guiding route appeared on the surface!
“Holy crap! The identity token has this function?!”
“You didn't know?”
“Nobody told me!”
Lu Ming felt depressed. What was the point of all the hard work he had put into searching for the sect back then?
...
Time flew by, and the Buddha Son born from the lotus grew up a little in the blink of an eye. Abbot Zhiyuan named him 'Buddha Son Ye Zang'!
Buddha Son Ye Zang demonstrated supreme wisdom roots from a young age, naturally aligning with the Buddhist teachings and the great Dao.
While other children were still babbling their first words, he could already sit alone on a lotus platform, reciting thousands of Buddhist scriptures without a teacher, every word and sentence drawing down the celestial Buddhist light.
State-of-mind bottlenecks that ordinary cultivators spent years struggling to break through required only half a day of quiet meditation for him!
Furthermore, his cultivation grew at a terrifying speed.
Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in three months, reaching the Nascent Soul stage at one year old, and ascending to the Tribulation Transmutation stage at two years old!
Ye Fan hadn't expected his body to grow so quickly in cultivation by practicing Buddhist techniques.
Now, he was about to turn three years old!
His cultivation had already reached the Mahayana stage. Once he broke through the Mahayana stage, he would be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm!
Ye Fan believed this day would come very soon.
After ten lifetimes of cultivation, he was finally about to return to the Immortal Realm!
Over the past three years, the name of Buddha Son Ye Zang had echoed throughout the cultivation world!
Everyone knew that as long as no accidents occurred, Buddha Son Ye Zang's future achievements would be immeasurable!
The Ancient Buddha Sect also protected him with the utmost security.
They worried that another accident like the loss of the Vajra Bodhi Fruit would occur.
During these years, Abbot Zhiyuan had stayed by Ye Fan's side almost constantly, guarding him day and night!
Seeing Ye Fan's cultivation speed and his extraordinary bearing, Abbot Zhiyuan felt extremely satisfied. The only point of dissatisfaction was that the Buddha Son's body refining technique was not very successful!
This was because the Vajra Bodhi Fruit had never been found, and the foolish ancestor of the Ancient God Clan had also vanished without a trace!
“Abbot Senior Brother, the Buddha Son is about to turn three. Should we host a grand birthday celebration for him?”
Abbot Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, and he nodded. “Yes! We shall host it!”
After all, the Buddha Son was already at the Mahayana stage, making him a powerhouse in his own right!
It was time to show him off to the other ancient powers!
At the same time, it would serve as an advance warning to them that the Ancient Buddha Sect was about to rise!
Hearing Abbot Zhiyuan's agreement, the fat monk Zhiku immediately sent a sound transmission to the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan. “The Buddha Son of our Ancient Buddha Sect is about to celebrate his third birthday. We welcome you to bring the geniuses of this generation to witness the ceremony! We can have some friendly spars then...”
“Ancient Emperor! Our Buddha Son is turning three...”
After sending sound transmissions to the Ancient God Clan and the other powers, Zhiku looked at Abbot Zhiyuan. “Abbot Senior Brother, should we send an invitation to the Qingshan Sect?”
Abbot Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then frowned. “I heard their Saint went missing, and they've been searching for him for the past few years. They probably won't come...”
Zhiku nodded. “Then we won't send one.”
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Abbot Zhiyuan's eyes. “No... send it. Let them experience the brilliance of our Buddha Son in advance!”
Zhiku nodded, then pulled out his sound transmission token. “Grand Elder of Qingshan, our Ancient Buddha Sect is hosting a third birthday celebration for our Buddha Son. We invite your Qingshan Sect to attend and witness the ceremony!”
