"How much does Brother Chen know about the Xiling Secret Sect?"
Changsun He asked.
Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I only know it’s a branch of the Buddhist Sect, all originating from India."
"That’s correct."
Changsun He nodded and said, "Though it’s part of the Buddhist Sect, due to regional customs, Buddhism has evolved into a rather unique existence in Xiling, different from India and the Divine Land. Within the Esoteric Sect, there are many sayings about reincarnation and so..."
Pausing here, Changsun He continued, "So rather sinister thods."
"For instance, the current Master Zagu from the Esoteric Sect is rumored to be one of the five Great Vajras, the reincarnation of the Vajra of Supre Joy, skilled in Horizontal Training, with the Vajra Unbreakable Technique greatly successful, reportedly cultivating a Vajra Heart, an extraordinary bloodline, rare in the world!"
"Vajra Unbreakable."
Chen Tang murmured softly.
Back when Emperor Wu was on the Great Snow Mountain, he ntioned to him that among all Upper-Grade horizontal training techniques, the most famous ones are the Barbarian Race’s Celestial God Technique and the Xiling Secret Sect’s Vajra Unbreakable Technique.
The Great Strength Vajra Hand he practiced originated from this technique.
However, the Great Strength Vajra Hand trains only the hands, while the Vajra Unbreakable Technique trains the entire body, limbs, bones, organs, and even, when perfectly mastered, a legendary Vajra Heart!
Changsun He said, "It is said that the Vajra of Supre Joy always has a companion to cultivate both spiritually and physically, through a special ritual, known as Consort Ming."
"What special ritual?"
Chen Tang frowned, sensing a problem.
Tan Wujiu snorted coldly and said, "This is the Empowernt thod, shrouded in mystery by the Esoteric Sect, claiming to unite spirit and lust for ascension to Paradise, but it’s actually a bedroom skill."
"However, this Zagu is a veteran in it, his bedroom skills are extrely domineering, demanding ’union without release’ to maintain power, and the girls he chooses are mostly teenage maidens."
Saying this, Tan Wujiu’s face darkened, "I once asked a courtesan who interacted with him, and according to her, even experienced won like her couldn’t withstand him. The next day she was weak all over, needing support to walk, and took several days to recover, let alone those inexperienced maidens."
Chen Tang squinted his eyes.
In Jianghu, there indeed exist dual cultivation thods between n and won.
But such cultivation techniques emphasize Yin Yang complent, with mutual improvent.
Like he and Qingmu that night, which achieved such an effect.
However, so take deviant paths, specializing in Yin Yang Replenishnt or Yang Absorption and Yin Supplentation, absorbing the other’s essence to enhance one’s cultivation, being extrely malicious techniques.
Chen Tang asked, "Practicing such sinister techniques, doesn’t the Buddhist Sect of Nanxia intervene?"
Changsun He shook his head, smiling bitterly, "After all, this Master Zagu has so background, being the reincarnation of the Vajra of Supre Joy in the Esoteric Sect, the Buddhist Sect of Great Xia avoids offending him. So in Jianghu couldn’t stand it and confronted him, ending in defeat."
"Over half a year, he was instead fad, now considered possibly the top of the new Human Ranking."
Chen Tang raised an eyebrow, asking, "Is he really that powerful?"
"Challenging him is done fairly, all in the sa realm."
Changsun He said, "But even the top ten in the Human Ranking among Fourth Grade martial artists couldn’t last twenty moves against him."
"And this Master Zagu never uses weapons, always fights barehanded, yet no one has been able to break his Golden Body."
"As such, the saying of him being a Vajra reincarnation spreads more widely, gaining more influence, many call him Vajra Indestructible, immortality."
Chen Tang, upon hearing, rely sneered coldly.
Even the Grandmaster of Transformation Realm wouldn’t claim immortality, this Esoteric Monk is still just a Fourth Grade at best.
Changsun He said, "Brother Chen, we in Jianghu naturally don’t believe such claims, but to ordinary people, they worship him."
Many thus join the Buddhist Sect, and so even willingly send their daughters to Da Kong Temple for Zagu’s Empowernt thod, hoping their daughters would beco Consort Ming, bringing glory to their families."
Chen Tang remained silent.
Such ignorance exists both in Beiqian and Nanxia.
Changsun He said, "So maidens can’t endure, unwilling to face humiliation, so choose suicide, others die from his torture."
"After people die, won’t they wake up?"
Chen Tang asked in a deep voice.
Changsun He shook his head, saying, "Wake up to what? According to the Esoteric Sect, these maidens have gone to Paradise, away from earthly suffering. Moreover, the Buddhist Sect of Great Xia prospers, wealthy beyond asure, compensate with so silver taels, and the matter is settled."
Tan Wujiu said coldly, "In this world, human life is cheap, worth just a few miserable coins."
The room fell silent among the three for a while.
Chen Tang couldn’t help but recall so past events in Changze County, thinking of the scene when he first saw Chen Da’an’s corpse and that bitterly cold winter.
"What happened afterward?"
Chen Tang looked at Tan Wujiu and asked, "So, you confronted this Esoteric Monk?"
Tan Wujiu replied, "I am from Beiqian, keep a low profile here, rarely act, though this matter is intolerable, I didn’t want to intervene, but later..."
Tan Wujiu recalled sothing and didn’t continue.
Changsun He sighed and said, "I had a rather clever girl in my store, typically did chores and looked after Brother Tan, but recently, she was sent to Da Kong Temple by her family. When she was brought back, bruised all over, with many finger marks, she was already dead."
"Brother Tan, enraged upon hearing, harbored murderous intentions."
Tan Wujiu said, "I am a Third Grade, already opening four ridians, if I challenge him directly, this Demon Monk certainly wouldn’t agree. Also, I could easily expose myself, drawing attention."
"Over a month ago, I finally got an opportunity, ambushed at the street corner, and attempted assassination."
Tan Wujiu said helplessly, "This Demon Monk’s power is indeed terrifying, my sword striking him produced the sound of tal clashing instead of wounding him."
"At the ti, he had no assistance, yet with my Third Grade strength, I wasn’t his match. Escaped by luck, ended up like this, fortunately Elder Sun spared no effort, found a renowned doctor, bought various tonic herbs, to save ."
Chen Tang suddenly recalled the news heard in a teahouse upon arriving in Yizhou.
People were discussing a Third Grade martial artist attempting to assassinate that Vajra of Supre Joy, resulting in severe injury.
Now it appears this person was Tan Wujiu.
Chen Tang stretched, his body crackling from top to bottom, clenched his fist, exhaling lightly, asking, "Having stayed on the ship for a month, it’s ti to exercise. How does one reach Da Kong Temple?"
