Chapter 2937: Blazing Phalanx
“Boom!” He smashed it on the ground before she could react .
“Ah!” This prompted her to jump and shout after seeing the broken pieces .
One - it was her family heirloom . Two - he spent so much on it . 100,000,000 gone just like that .
“You… You…” She couldn’t form a coherent sentence while pointing at him .
Her mind became chaotic as she stared at the fragments . No words could describe her emotions right now .
Anger? Sadness? Lack of control?
This used to be her family heirloom but that was in the past . Li Qiye bought it and could do whatever he wanted with it .
“Why? Why did you break it?” She took a while before asking .
“So you can see why it is precious . The wooden carving itself doesn’t matter, just another effigy even if it was made by a progenitor . The thing inside is the real treasure . ” Li Qiye said .
“Real-really?” She remained confused .
“Trust me, look around . ” Li Qiye chuckled, seemingly aloof as if he didn’t just break an extremely expensive item .
Jinning looked through the pieces to find the thing he was talking about .
“I found something, is this it?” Jinning became excited and picked it up .
It was akin to a piece of ivory around the size of a finger phalanx . It had a yellow hue in some parts, seemingly having been burnt in the past .
“This is why it is precious?” She couldn’t confirm that it was precious judging by its appearance .
“Yes, that’s it . ” Li Qiye looked at it and nodded .
“What is it?” She couldn’t see why this broken ivory was special . In fact, she preferred having the original wood carving over this .
“A finger bone . Perhaps Lankavatara Buddha’s if I’m not mistaken . ” Li Qiye said .
“Really?!” Jinning was shocked and needed to take a deep breath .
“Yes, a blazing finger to show his will, this should be it . ” Li Qiye nodded .
She has heard of this old story before, thinking that it was only a legend . No one really knew what it was .
“How can we conclude that it belongs to the progenitor?” She didn’t see anything peculiar about the bone .
Lankavatara Buddha was an incredible master . His Buddhist light once illuminated the realm . Alas, this finger didn’t have a Buddhist affinity in the slightest .
“Only a selected few can notice since its affinity is hidden very deep inside, hence the story . ” Li Qiye said .
He grabbed the finger and began to channel his merit laws to derive the mysteries of the grand dao .
“Buzz . ” Strands of Buddhist light emanated from the finger, seemingly opening a new world .
Within was a supreme figure with boundless techniques and power, capable of loving and saving all living beings .
“Lankavatara Buddha!” Bai Jinning was shaken after seeing this figure . She felt insignificant like a bubble in an ocean of Buddhist affinity .
Everyone would need to perform the highest ceremonial act to show reverence before it . She was about to drop down on her knees .
However, the light disappeared as Li Qiye recalled his technique . The finger became normal again, no longer resembling the finger of a master .
“You’re right…” Jinning became shaken . Earlier, she was a frog under the well .
That power earlier, once fully activated, would be immensely mighty and frightening .
She finally understood why the wooden carving was worth more than 100,000,000 stones . It was because of this finger bone inside .
“That’s why your ancestors said the carving can protect your clan . It is because of this boundless Buddhist power . ” Li Qiye added .
“I see . ” She took a deep breath, aware of the truth behind this now .
“Wear it on your neck, it’ll save you in dangerous moments . ” Li Qiye gave it back to her .
She hesitated, not daring to accept the finger . The wooden carving prior at least had special significance to her clan .
But now, the finger of a progenitor was a different story . It had the same power as an unstoppable weapon . Which cultivator wouldn’t want to possess an artifact of this level?
That’s why she didn’t dare to accept it from him now after finding out the truth .
“Take it . ” Li Qiye chuckled: “It’s just one finger . The whole body might make me think twice . ”
She could see that he didn’t care too much about it so she bowed and accepted the gift .
“Leave now, I need to rest . ” Li Qiye waved his sleeve and sat down, closing his eyes .
“I will get you on the list so that you can meet our commander . ” She bowed and said .
Li Qiye smiled, not really caring about the list or whatever . Who would dare to refuse an audience with him?
He began meditating after she left and time flowed by .
One day, he opened his eyes and said: “Why is this thing here?”
With that, he flashed and disappeared from sight .

“Rumble!” One could hear loud banging on the wide streets of Sky Pass .
The pedestrians saw a black bull running around, breaking some walls and buildings in the process .
A dozen experts or so gave chase behind it along with several hundred regular disciples .
“Sorry, sorry . ” Someone apologized for the bull and guaranteed: “We’ll pay for any loss incurred today, don’t worry . Our young master likes this bull and wants to make it his mount . ”
“What’s going on?” A few didn’t get it . No one would dare to be so bold in Sky Pass, causing so much chaos .
“That’s a young noble of Strong Grass System . ” A knowledgeable cultivator hurriedly answered: “They want to catch that bull but it ran here . That young noble still won’t give up . ”
“It’s a very powerful auspicious beast . ” One expert carefully looked at the bull before praising .
“Indeed . ” Another expert agreed: “It is a great candidate for a mount . ”
