Chapter 764: The Past Amitabha Sutra Obtained

Champion Marquis watched the figure of Tianshe Wang gradually disappear, intending to leave.

"So the Marquis actually likes this kind of married woman; no wonder you have been ignoring this little girl these days."

A charming, melodious giggle suddenly rang out, and a face of peerless beauty appeared before him, dressed in white robes fluttering like a fairy.

Sheng Nü of the Supreme Dao, Su Mu.

Champion Marquis laughed heartily, reached out to wrap his arm around Su Mu's slender waist, and used his hand to lift her fair, smooth chin: "You're wrong, as long as she is a beauty, I, the Marquis, like her."

"Since that is the case, why is it that after the Marquis abducted this little girl, you never look for me to discuss poetry or prose, acting so cold and distant."

Su Mu leaned against Champion Marquis's side, appearing even more petite and beautiful in contrast to his tall, burly frame; her tone was gentle yet carried a hint of grievance, her eyes shifting: "Marquis, rest assured, I will not be as heartless and ungrateful as Tianshe Wang, abandoning you; perhaps, perhaps I can even help you achieve great things."

"Great things, what great things?" Champion Marquis asked with interest.

"For instance, helping you, Marquis, sit on that position." Su Mu's eyes shifted, looking toward the direction of Yujing City.

"Hahaha, this must be what Meng Shenji told you to say to me. The reason you did not flee is also because that Supreme Sect Leader ordered you to lurk by my side." Champion Marquis laughed heartily: "If I am not mistaken, that number one person in the world seems to have taken a fancy to me, wanting me to replace Yang Pan, believing I am more suited to be the supreme ruler."

Su Mu's eyes shifted, her pitch-black pupils like deep, bottomless pools, and she said as if nonchalantly: "The Marquis is truly as wise as the sea; you guessed it right away."

"Do not harbor such thoughts; I can guarantee that if I truly were to sit on that position, Meng Shenji would pounce and bite like a mad dog." Champion Marquis patted Su Mu's tender, smooth cheek and smiled: "Of course, if you wish to emulate Meng Bingyun, it would not be unacceptable for me to play the role of Hong Xuanji once. Rest assured, I am very attentive to every woman I have been with, and I will never let your end be as miserable as Meng Bingyun's."

Champion Marquis took a deep look at Su Mu, laughed heartily, and left with the Haotian Golden Chapter.

Su Mu watched the departing Champion Marquis and his Human Immortal clone, her brows slightly furrowed, falling into deep thought.

What exactly does Champion Marquis mean?

Since he guessed that the Sect Leader intends to support him as Emperor, why not go with the flow, but instead speak these profound words?

As for that Human Immortal clone, Su Mu had seen it before at Tianzhu Shan; she was at most surprised that it had been incubated so quickly, but not particularly shocked.

After the Human Immortal clone was incubated, Champion Marquis began searching for the Past Scripture, intending to use it to recover his memories.

Previously, Champion Marquis had deeply excavated his own memories and obtained key information such as "Xianghu King, White Ape King, fox."

His information network spanned all the nations of the world, and after a period of searching, he learned that the two great demon immortals, Xianghu King and White Ape King, had both reincarnated in Yuantuguo.

The two demon kings are now, one the young master of the Bai family in Yuantuguo, and the other a princess of Yuantuguo.

But Yuantuguo is very far from Great Gan, and when the Great Zen Temple was destroyed, the two demon kings had likely only just reincarnated and should not have participated in the battle to suppress the Great Zen Temple.

Then.

The key information lies in those two characters: "Pure Fox..."

Through the pursuit of his vast information network, Champion Marquis finally tracked down a clue some time ago.

The Pure Fox Clan once lived near the Great Zen Temple; Xianghu King originated from this Heavenly Fox Clan, and White Ape King and Xianghu King were childhood sweethearts.

Perhaps when the Great Zen Temple was breached, this Pure Fox Clan took the opportunity to snatch away the "Past Amitabha Sutra."

While Champion Marquis was incubating the Tianzhu Divine Stone, he ordered his subordinates to search with all their might for the traces of the Pure Fox Clan.

Three days before the "Haotian Golden Chapter" appeared, Shen Ying Wang reported to him that the Pure Fox Clan had been found.

And now that everything is settled, Champion Marquis naturally wants to go find the Pure Fox Clan and get his hands on the "Past Amitabha Sutra."

"This is the place."

Champion Marquis put away the map and arrived in a valley.

Not far away was a pitch-black valley, and in the center of the valley, there was a faint firelight.

He pondered for a moment, then wrapped himself with the power of his divine sense and stepped into the valley.

In the middle of the valley, a large bonfire was burning, and around the bonfire sat dozens of snow-white foxes.

These foxes were half-squatting and half-sitting, as if they were human, each holding a book in their hands, making strange sounds, as if they were children reading in a private school.

The most eye-catching among them was an old fox, because he stood like a human, and what came out of the fox's mouth was also human speech, but the accent was very strange, as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Because of his divine sense, these foxes did not see Champion Marquis.

A moment later, Champion Marquis arrived at a stone cave on the south side of the valley.

Many small holes had been chiseled into the stone walls of the cave, and oil lamps were lit in each one.

And all four sides of the stone cave were wooden bookshelves, with books of all kinds placed on them.

On the four walls, outside of the dozens of large bookshelves, under the walls on all four sides, were piled countless books with yellowed paper. There were incomplete ancient texts and scriptures.

"Avatamsaka Sutra, Rebirth Sutra... most of them are Buddhist scriptures, and the seals are all 'Great Zen Temple'; it seems I have come to the right place." Champion Marquis walked to a large bookshelf, his gaze swept over the shelves, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

"The Rebirth Sutra is likely among these books, but there are simply too many scriptures here; wanting to find the 'Past Amitabha Sutra' is not an easy task."

There were too many books here, filling an entire stone chamber; conservatively estimated, there were at least one hundred thousand volumes.

Of course, this could not stump Champion Marquis.

Champion Marquis stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering.

An invisible fluctuation radiated from between his brows; the speed at which this fluctuation spread was very slow. When the fluctuation covered the books on the shelves, the books immediately floated into mid-air and then flipped through rapidly. It was as if someone were reading, only this person's reading speed was unbelievably fast, and they were reading hundreds or thousands at a time.

The "Past Amitabha Sutra" was very likely hidden here, and the monks of the Great Zen Temple must have hidden the secret manual very securely, perhaps even covered by interlayers or special materials, so he naturally could not be the least bit careless.

Champion Marquis's speed of flipping through them was truly too fast; books floated up one by one and then fell down one by one, and he read the books with the 'Great Zen Temple' seal even more carefully, not missing a single page.

After about an hour, as Champion Marquis's divine sense poured out and was consumed, his face became slightly pale.

Just as he was about to rest for a moment, Champion Marquis suddenly opened his eyes, a touch of joy appearing on his face.

As Champion Marquis reached out, a book flew into his palm; it was the "Martial Scripture" compiled at the founding of the Great Gan Dynasty.

The Great Gan Dynasty once collected books from all over the world, and then had thousands of martial arts masters compile the "Martial Scripture" and "Dao Scripture," separately expounding on the Martial Dao and the Immortal Dao. It is a pity that a few years after they were compiled, the Great Gan Dynasty, under the slogan of "rectifying the human heart and abandoning evil doctrines," banned their printing and recovered and burned all those that had fallen into the hands of the common people.

This is also a method used by dynasties from ancient times to the present: weakening the people and keeping them ignorant, so that it is conducive to rule.

Holding this "Martial Scripture," Champion Marquis sent out a burst of force, and the "Martial Scripture" was shattered, ground into powder, and turned into ash and dust.

And a piece of slightly dark golden paper appeared from within the "Martial Scripture."

This paper was like gold leaf, covered densely with small script scriptures and pictures.

Champion Marquis took a glance, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and confirmed that this was the very thing he had been searching for—the Past Amitabha Sutra.
