My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 770: Mustard Seed Space

The small mountain was indeed the Mustard Seed Space, which was related to the sealing of Sumeru Mountain in the Buddhist realm. If those sinister creatures obtained it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Could it be that our vision is obscured by the extremity, causing us to see incorrectly?” Gong Cang suggested.

Shen Li shook his head. “I saw the Mustard Seed Space disappear with my own eyes. I couldn’t be mistaken.”

Heaven Killing Asura rotated his wrist and then said, “Whether it disappeared or not, we’ll know once we go in and check.”

“The old guy couldn’t break through this barrier earlier, so let me tear a hole in it. Everyone, step back!”

The others retreated several dozen yards away, but Old Man Mu and Dragon Clan Ancestor remained unmoved.

Given their status and strength, it was indeed impossible for them to back down like the younger generation just because Asura King said so.

Heaven Killing Asura gathered powerful energy around his right fist and struck the black curtain with great force.

This punch twisted the space and made the earth tremble, but the powerful fist energy penetrated the black curtain and, like Old Man Mu’s black coffin, shot out from the other side, instantly shattering an extinguished volcano into dust!

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow at the ineffective punch.

Comparing the two, it was clear that Divine Guardian’s strength was indeed superior to Asura King’s. It seemed that during the earlier confrontation between the two outside the Imperial City, Divine Guardian had been holding back—not just holding back, but holding back a lot!

Heaven Killing Asura’s face was grim. His decision to break the black curtain’s barrier was partly fueled by his desire to compare himself with Divine Guardian.

But the reality showed a clear difference in their abilities, which was more than just a small gap. For someone as proud as he was, this was hard to accept.

Just as he raised his right hand to try again, Qin Feng noticed something strange in his arms.

“What’s this feeling of having something extra?”

Curious, he reached into his clothes and pulled out a hard little lump. Upon opening his palm, his eyes widened.

“This!”

“What’s going on?” Qin Feng’s voice caught the attention of the people around him, and they turned their heads. They were all surprised to see that the object in Qin Feng’s hand was the Mustard Seed Space that had shrunk countless times in the Buddha Statue’s hand!

The Buddha statue just now really looked back at me, and even handed me this hot potato. Qin Feng’s expression froze.

The Buddha’s mouth on the Dragon Ancestor said: “Able to expand and contract, accommodating all things, the Mustard Seed can hold all things. This must be the old monk’s possession.”

“The old monk isn’t dead. He gave you the Mustard Seed Space.”

“The stone Buddha statue might be a seal. If he’s not dead, then I can live too, yes, I can live.”

“Wait a minute, if he lifts the seal, does that mean I might have to practice Silent Meditation again, unable to speak?”

The tone shifted from initial joy to sudden concern.

Hearing the commotion, Heaven Killing Asura and the others flew back and immediately saw the Mustard Seed Space in Qin Feng’s hand.

Old Man Mu’s hoarse voice echoed, “Looks like you have a connection with the Buddha.”

Oh no, even though I drink alcohol, eat meat, and like women, am I a person with Buddha nature?

Qin Feng’s lips twitched slightly. He was destined never to become a Buddha in eight lifetimes, and the only possibility he could think of was the old monk glancing at him in the Listen To Rain Pavilion. But in this world, is there truly someone who can pierce through thousands of years and see the future?

‘If the old monk had such power, why did the Western Domain’s Buddhists end up like this?’

‘Did they sacrifice themselves for some greater purpose?’

‘Wait, those sinister beings that turned to stone, could they have been sealed by the Western Domain’s Buddhists? But if that’s the case, then where did the giant eyeballs and large hands come from? Could there be even more beings like them?’

Forget it for now, Qin Feng thought. The Mustard Seed Space was too hot to handle, and keeping it on him could be dangerous. It would be better to entrust it to someone else for safekeeping. As he looked around, trying to decide who would be the most reliable, a sudden change occurred.

From a crack in a split rock, a streak of white light shot out at a speed too fast for the eye to catch, and with it came a powerful suction that snatched the Mustard Seed Space right from Qin Feng’s hand!

Everyone was shocked and looked over. The source of the attack was a bony hand, and its aura was identical to that of the giant eyeballs!

Qin Feng immediately realized that this was the handiwork of the giant eyeball after its disintegration. It had anticipated that the Mustard Seed Space would escape from the extremity.

Heaven Killing Asura and Dragon Clan Ancestor reacted instantly, both emitting a cold snort and launching their powerful energies like sharp arrows towards the bony hand.

The void was sliced open, and the bony hand could not withstand the attacks from the two transcendence realm experts. In an instant, it shattered into dust.

But within the dust, there was still a small piece of flesh holding onto the Mustard Seed Space, rushing rapidly toward the east. It was trying to find the nearest Immortal Realm rift to take the Mustard Seed Space back to the Immortal Realm!

Suddenly, from the night sky’s horizon, a streak of golden light approached. On closer inspection, it was a formidable bird-like creature, none other than the Golden-Winged Great Peng, who had successfully ascended to the Second Stage!

It had intended to fly directly back to the Imperial City to share the good news with Qin Feng, but when it found itself near the extremity of the Western Domain, it continued flying in that direction.

From the distance, he saw the familiar figure not far from the black curtain blocking the sky, and just as the Golden-Winged Great Peng was about to call out, he noticed a small piece of flesh flying rapidly toward him.

“What is that?” With a casual flap of his wings, a fierce gust of wind blew in, knocking the piece of flesh and the Mustard Seed Space back violently.

Seeing this, Qin Feng and the others were all left in shock.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng described its experiences since leaving the Imperial City, including preparing to undergo the tribulation and facing the Heavenly Tribulation of the Eight Calamity Cycle.

The tales of danger and triumph were enough to move anyone who listened.

“Originally, I couldn’t have survived it. The powerful wind blades and thunder tribulations left my body riddled with holes. But before the final thunder fell, I thought I was going to die.”

“But at that moment, a flash of emerald green thunder brushed across the surface of my body, healing most of my injuries. Because of this, I withstood the confirmation of the hegemony of heaven and earth and successfully entered the second level.”

After recounting this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng looked at Qin Feng with gratitude. It knew that the healing thunder came from Qin Feng.

Qin Feng let out a slight sigh of relief. His preparations with Bai Su in case of an emergency had paid off.

“Why are you all here? And what was that piece of flesh?” the Golden-Winged Great Peng asked curiously.

Qin Feng briefly explained the situation, then glanced to the side.

Heaven Killing Asura held the piece of flesh tightly between his two fingers and looked at it carefully. The piece of flesh struggled and even grew a small mouth full of sharp fangs, fiercely biting at Heaven Killing Asura.

However, Heaven Killing Asura’s flesh had long since become one of the most durable things in the world, and such a small creature could not hope to harm him.

“Hey, can’t you use your Dao of life and death to trace back to its origin? This thing came from those guys. Can you use it to kill the real body?”

The Old Man Mu shook his head: “This thing is already dead, but it was just affected by a trace of Qi.”

Being influenced by Qi could assimilate it like this?

Everyone looked ugly.

Heaven Killing Asura’s expression was one of dissatisfaction as he held the flesh between his fingers. He looked at the squirming piece of flesh with disdain before pinching it hard, causing the flesh to scream miserably and turn into a pile of mush, its energy dissipating.

“Take it!” Heaven Killing Asura tossed the Mustard Seed Space back to Qin Feng.

The hot potato was back in his hands. Qin Feng raised an eyebrow; he didn’t want to be burdened with the item that sinister beings would stop at nothing to obtain. The series of actions by the giant eyeball made its intentions clear.

Qin Feng turned to his two senior brothers. “After careful consideration, I think it’s best if one of you takes charge of this important item. Both of you have excellent judgment and skills, so I believe you can handle this better than I can.”

Shen Li and Sun Qi exchanged glances. Their teacher had given them a mission to secure the Mustard Seed Space and return it to him, so taking charge of it would not be an issue.

After a moment of hesitation, they were about to agree when the Dragon Ancestor’s mouth on its face spoke up. “You brat clearly wants to hand off the hot potato to someone else while making it sound like you have selfless intentions. You’re so two-faced, so two-faced!”

Qin Feng clenched his fists, but then released them. The amused and knowing looks from his senior brothers made him hold back his retort.

“Don’t listen to its nonsense. What I said earlier was from the heart,” Qin Feng said earnestly.

Shen Li nodded slightly.

Sun Qi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: “The friendship between us brothers is deep and strong. How can it be destroyed by others? Don’t worry, little junior brother.”

“Senior brother!” Qin Feng felt a wave of emotion.

“Utter nonsense! Lies, all of them! You’re clearly trying to find an excuse to avoid dealing with the Mustard Seed Space,”

“What you are thinking is that my junior brother’s mind is so deep, and he is not as harmless as he seems on the surface. I will have to be more careful in the future. ”

The three brothers were momentarily caught in an awkward silence.

“That’s completely false,” Shen Li said calmly. Senior Brother Shen Li is as composed as ever, even if his thoughts were exposed, he still looks calm and composed.

“Such nonsense! Surely our little brother doesn’t believe it, right?” Sun Qi shook his head and chuckled.

Qin Feng thought their composure was impressive, he almost believed them.

“The bond between us brothers is as strong as gold, how could we be provoked by just a few words?”

“So, who among you two will be carrying this Mustard Seed Space?”

After a moment of thought, Shen Li responded, “Let Second Brother take it. In addition to practicing the path of the Literature Saint, he has traveled far and wide and has mastered various unconventional techniques, making him more skilled at escaping danger.”

Sun Qi immediately interjected, “What are you saying, Eldest Brother? You’re more experienced and skilled than I am. Such an important item should stay with you for safekeeping.”

This exchange of shrinking from responsibility made the rest of the people present look at them with strange expression; these three brothers were not to be underestimated.

Qin Feng turned his head and looked at the Buddha’s mouth, as if he wanted to know the truth about the two brothers from his mouth. But after waiting for a moment, there was no response from the Buddha’s mouth.

Shen Li and Sun Qi subtly withdrew their gazes while conversing, guarding against their true thoughts being read by the Buddha’s Mouth. For high-level practitioners of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, this was effortless.

“If it really doesn’t work, it’s equally fine for both senior brothers to keep watch together,” Qin Feng said with a smile.

Shen Li and Sun Qi remained silent at Qin Feng’s suggestion.

At this moment, the Buddha’s mouth spoke up again, “It’s useless. Since the old monk chose to entrust the Mustard Seed Space to you, it means recognizing you as its master. No matter whose hands it ends up in, it will eventually return to you. Yes, that’s how it is.”

“Are you kidding me? If that’s the case, how could that white bone arm take away the Mustard Seed Space earlier?” Qin Feng was skeptical, thinking the Buddha’s Mouth was talking nonsense.

“That white bone arm couldn’t take away the Mustard Seed Space at all. As long as the Mustard Seed Space is away from you for a certain distance, it will inevitably return to you. If you don’t believe it, you can have someone throw the Mustard Seed Space away. The farther, the better,” the Buddha’s Mouth insisted confidently.

Could it be true?

Qin Feng was skeptical, but before he could suggest that for Jianli to try it out, a slender indigo arm snatched the Mustard Seed Space from his hand.

“Let me try,” Pabluo said calmly, then stepped forward and forcefully threw it.

The earth cracked, and a piercing sound of breaking wind filled the air. The Mustard Seed Space instantly turned into a black dot and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Had such an important item really been lost just like that?

“What are you doing?” Qin Feng exclaimed in shock.

“I was just giving it a try,” Pabluo replied nonchalantly.

“Even if you want to try, you should have taken the Mustard Seed Space with you. By just throwing it away like that, what if we can’t find it again?” Qin Feng protested.

Pabluo scratched her head. “Hmm, makes sense.”

But then, Qin Feng felt something in his embrace. He reached out, and in an instant, the Mustard Seed Space reappeared in his palm.

“It’s actually true,” Qin Feng muttered, realizing he couldn’t shake off this hot potato.

Seeing this, Sun Qi breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to lament, “After careful consideration, what the Elder Brother said makes sense. It would indeed be safer for the item to be in my possession. However, as it seems, it can only be entrusted to Little Brother for now.”

Shen Li agreed, “Second Brother also has a point. As the eldest senior brother, it is both reasonable and logical for me to bear this responsibility. It’s just a pity that the item has already recognized Little Brother as its master, and others cannot take it away.”

The people around couldn’t help but roll their eyes at the trio, silently cursing the shamelessness of scholars, far from the noble and upright image they presented.

At this moment, Gong Cang spoke up, “It’s getting late. To thank everyone for their assistance, why don’t we head to the nearby Heavenly City? The Demon Slaying Department can take care of us there. You can also find a safe place to rest.”

Everyone agreed.

Divine Guardian returned to Imperial City and ascended to the top of the Heavenly Tower in the Grand Literature Academy.

The Heavenly Tower National Teacher sat at the desk, still maintaining a calm demeanor, but sweat beads dotted his forehead.

Without wasting any words, Divine Guardian recounted the events that occurred in the extreme west.

“Your speculation was correct. Mu Heng, who wields the Dao of Life and Death, can completely exterminate those bizarre entities. However, one of the eyeballs self-destructed and escaped before being consumed by the Life and Death Dao.”

“And as for the so-called Mustard Seed Space, it remains in the hands of the statue in the extreme west, and I couldn’t bring it back,” Divine Guardian explained.

“It doesn’t matter. Someone will bring it back,” Heavenly Tower National Teacher replied calmly. Then, he suddenly coughed several times, and his palm was stained with red blood.

“How much longer can you hold on?” Divine Guardian inquired.

Heavenly Tower National Teacher shook his head. “I don’t know.”
