Strengthen The Descendants, My Descendants Are All Immortal World Bosses

Chapter 204 The First Standard Magic Treasures, The Spirit-Breaking Bow

Seeing Qin Changqing's slightly strange gaze, Master Zhicang clasped his hands together and said, "Vice Alliance Leader, there is no need to worry. The Buddhist Gate focuses on cultivating the mind. The reason for doing this is to temper the disciples' character and make their future cultivation path smoother. Moreover, the Buddhist Gate also practices the Joyful Zen and needs to pass it on. Otherwise, how can we strengthen the incense of our Eight Directions Temple?"

"Hehe, you old baldy... as expected of the abbot of the Eight Directions Temple, always deceiving people with your words," Qin Changqing sneered.

Qin Changqing didn't bother to care about how the sect operated. He understood that these female cultivators were prepared for him, simply to provide more spiritual roots for the Eight Directions Temple. After all, even for cultivators, bloodline relatives were the most trustworthy.

During the banquet, Master Zhicang, perhaps having heard about Qin Changqing's mastery of Buddhist principles from Yu Rakshasa, couldn't help but engage Qin Changqing in a discussion about Buddhism. The entire Great Hall's attention was drawn to them.

Qin Changqing was annoyed by the old monk's words. He wasn't a monk, so why should he discuss Dharma with him?

He decided to ask directly, "May I ask Master Zhicang, which came first, Buddha or humans?"

This question immediately stunned everyone present.

Master Huijue's eyes lit up, unable to help but exclaim, "Vice Alliance Leader is amazing! How should one answer this question?"

A disciple next to him was puzzled and asked, "Master, what's wrong with this question?"

Master Huijue's face showed a look of amazement as he explained, "This question seems simple, but it is full of traps and Zen mysteries. No matter how you answer, it won't work. If you say humans came first, then the Vice Alliance Leader can respond by quoting the Buddha, who said that humans are Buddha and Buddha is humans. Humans are future Buddhas, and Buddhas are past humans. Since the Buddha himself said that humans are Buddha, how can you say that humans came before Buddha?"

The disciple frowned and asked, "What if we say Buddha came first, and humans came later?"

Master Huijue shook his head and said, "That's even more incorrect. Before humans were civilized, let alone cultivation, they were no different from wild beasts. Even things like writing and language were created step by step. Cultivators are born from ordinary people. How can you say that Buddha came first and humans came later?"

The disciple was somewhat unconvinced and asked, "What if I say that Buddha and humans exist simultaneously?"

Master Huijue smiled bitterly and said, "That won't work either. Since the Vice Alliance Leader raised this question, it means that Buddha and humans must have a sequence. If you say they exist simultaneously, it's equivalent to abandoning the question and admitting defeat."

In the hall, there was a buzz of discussion. Some disciples who didn't understand were enlightened by the Master's explanation and looked at Qin Changqing with awe.

After pondering for a long time, Master Zhicang reluctantly clasped his hands together and said, "Vice Alliance Leader, your understanding of Dharma is profound. I am no match for you."

Qin Changqing smiled and raised his wine cup, thinking to himself, "Finally, peace and quiet! Can't I even deal with you?"

The question of whether Buddha or humans came first is itself a paradox, just like the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first in a previous life. It is impossible to reach a conclusion.

After this Dharma debate, news of Qin Changqing's mastery of Dharma quickly spread throughout the Eight Directions Temple. The monks who were initially indifferent to Qin Changqing were now amazed and deeply respected him.

For Buddhist Gate cultivators, cultivation base was not necessarily the most important thing. Although Qin Changqing had a low cultivation base, his profound understanding of Dharma made even the abbot bow down to him. Even Master Zhicang admitted that the depth of Vice Alliance Leader's Dharma was comparable to that of the Buddha.

This was also one of the important reasons why Qin Changqing was able to impress Yu Rakshasa when they first met.

---

Three days later, a graceful figure returned to the Eight Directions Temple. It was indeed Yu Rakshasa.

And Master Zhicang, who had originally made other arrangements, immediately withdrew his disciples and made way for Venerable.

"You're back?"

Qin Changqing was also somewhat surprised to see Yurakshasa.

Nowadays, Yurakshasa spends most of her time in the Celestial Beast Dynasty's Research Pavilion, focusing on studying those special Magic Treasures and rarely coming back.

Over the past few years, Yurakshasa's belly has already started to show, and it won't be long before she gives birth. Qin Changqing has become even more infatuated with her.

"I calculated that you should be coming to the Eight Directions Temple soon, so I hurried back to see you!"

A blush appeared on Yurakshasa's face.

Qin Changqing's eyes flashed with tenderness as he gently touched Yurakshasa's belly and smiled, "You can put aside the matters of the Research Pavilion for now and take a rest. This kind of thing cannot be accomplished in a short time. It's not too late to go after the child is born."

Yurakshasa shook her head, excitedly saying, "Changqing, you're really amazing. We've made some progress based on your ideas over the past six months..."

As she spoke, she took out a radiant bow from her storage ring.

Qin Changqing's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to see results so quickly. "What is this?"

Yurakshasa said, "This is a new type of Magic Treasure we developed, called the Soul-Breaking Bow. It has the effect of breaking through the enemy's protective aura and various formation restrictions."

Qin Changqing furrowed his brows slightly. Bows and arrows are things that only mortals use. There are very few cultivators in the Immortal World who use bow and arrow-type Magic Treasures.

Everyone can manipulate a Flying Sword, so why use bows and arrows? Isn't that ridiculous?

Seeing Qin Changqing's expression, Yurakshasa smiled and said, "It's not as simple as you think. This Soul-Breaking Bow uses special materials that are extremely tough and can withstand attacks from Rank Five Magic Treasures. The bowstring is also made of special materials. Do you see the grooves on it? They can be filled with Spirit Stones or the inner cores of high-rank Demonic Beasts. Depending on the grade of the core, it can release arrows with corresponding levels of Spirit Power."

Qin Changqing's gaze flickered as he asked, "Can people of any cultivation base use it?"

If that's the case, it would be heaven-defying. If a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage used a Soul-Breaking Bow filled with the core of a Rank Six Monster, wouldn't it be able to release Spirit Power arrows that threaten Venerables in the Nascent Soul stage?

"That's naturally impossible."

Yurakshasa shook her head and said, "But it can be used across realms. A Gold Core stage cultivator can use a Rank Four Soul-Breaking Bow. Moreover, the Spirit Power arrows released by this bow are infinite. As long as the Spirit Power inside is not exhausted, it can continue to be fired. It consumes very little of the user's own Spirit Power. Just think about it, if our side equips all the cultivators with this Soul-Breaking Bow in a large-scale battle, tens of thousands of cultivators firing in one round can cause tremendous damage to the enemy. Coupled with its ability to break through defenses, even if our side is all in the Nascent Soul stage, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators would not be able to withstand it."

A scene flashed through Qin Changqing's mind.

Tens of thousands of cultivators bending their bows and shooting arrows, countless arrows raining down like a beehive, covering the sky and the earth, making it impossible to avoid. The scene was truly shocking.

"And there's another advantage!" Yurakshasa said proudly, "In a cultivator battle, if the opponent's strength is higher than ours or they possess treasures that can collect Magic Treasures, they will inevitably be at a disadvantage. But the Soul-Breaking Bow is not afraid. The Spirit Power arrows it releases are not afraid of being collected by the opponent. After all, they are disposable. Even if they are collected, they can still be fired again."

Qin Changqing's eyes immediately lit up.

The current Changqing Alliance has already grown in scale. If they were to wage war in other territories, it would undoubtedly involve large-scale battles between cultivators. If they had this Soul-Breaking Bow, it would be an incredible siege weapon!
