Chapter 1120: Chapter 588: Qilin Demon! An Old Friend Appears!
Moluo spoke eloquently, not worrying about Chen Yuan; on the contrary, he felt this was another opportunity for soone whose ntal realm was flawless and perfect.
If it were another person, as long as their ntal realm hadn’t reached perfection, there’d be a chance for that trace of violent demon nature to affect their spirit, turning them into a demon.
“Thank you, senior, for your guidance.”
Chen Yuan nodded solemnly.
After saying this, he temporarily gave up the idea of forcibly seizing the Fire Qilin and instead planned to kill Song Lun first, relying on his Qi Fortune to find the Ice Marrow Divine Jade.
Moluo then returned to the Emperor Slaughter Saber to continue his silence.
As his cultivation was restoring faster with the help of the Golden Lotus, he remained silent for longer periods. If not necessary, Chen Yuan shouldn’t disturb his recovery.
Otherwise, ti would only be prolonged.
Yet sotis, Chen Yuan himself had no choice.
Standing atop the Tangshan Buddha’s head, he remained silent for a long ti, gazing down at the calm lake, his ntal realm as still as an ancient well, before leaping towards Shuzhou.
…
…
At this mont, within the borders of Qingzhou, in front of the Bright Temple.
Six hundred martial monks sat cross-legged on a vacant ground in front of the temple, reciting Buddhist scriptures, and all was silent in the Heaven and Earth. Before these six hundred martial monks were several Dan Realm Masters also sitting cross-legged.
Among them was an old acquaintance of Chen Yuan.
His face was chubby, with nine precepts scars atop his head, a mole at the corner of his mouth, and his features resembled a big ‘囧’ character. This was the sa Guang Liang Monk who once conspired with Xiao Yusheng, Gu Chun, and others to ambush Chen Yuan.
Only later did Jiang He forcibly subdue him.
He was also the martial uncle of Monk Jingxin, whom Chen Yuan had slain in the Primordial Void Secret Realm.
Chen Yuan had always wanted to settle the score, as the attempted ambush wasn’t sothing to dismiss. But due to his busyness, he hadn’t had the chance to press charges against the Bright Temple.
Thus, it was gradually shelved, intending to address it after initiating his plans.
Before the several Dan Realm Masters sat a kind-faced old monk in a Supervisor Kasaya, reciting Buddhist scriptures.
Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy seed to tremble.
The Bright Temple was considered the strongest Buddhist power in Qingzhou and one of its top elite forces, with more than one Yang Transformation Arhat in the temple.
At the establishnt of the Great Jin, Spirit Mountain spread teachings throughout the Central Plains, planting nurous seeds, with the Bright Temple being one of its most flourishing representatives, maintaining connections with the Spirit Mountain Holy Land over the years.
In truth, it wasn’t just the Bright Temple; all Buddhist temples under Heaven stemd from the teachings spread by Spirit Mountain, which was revered as the orthodox holy ground. Its cohesion far surpassed the fragnted Taoist paths.
There was only one Buddhist sect in the world, and that was Spirit Mountain.
In contrast, the Taoist sects were not so unified; Taixu Palace, Biyou Palace, and Kunlun Mountain were considered orthodox, and even Wudang Mountain was a Taoist offshoot.
The Shushan Sword Sect also had countless connections with Taoism.
In terms of the Buddhist-Taoist contest, the Taoist sects appeared stronger.
Yet, sotis when at their peak, the Taoist sects would begin to split, as Biyou Palace and Taixu Palace did during the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
Today, the Bright Temple’s solemnity, water purification of the temple, and pervasive scriptures were due to a major event.
The strongest figure of the Bright Temple, a Buddhist Arhat once renowned in Qingzhou, and the temple’s abbot, Yao Xin, had been in secluded ditation for an excessive ti, not erging for several decades.
Recently, his Soul Lamp flickered as if it might extinguish.
Recognizing this, the monks of the Bright Temple were sowhat alard, quickly sealing the temple to prepare for the descent of the Spirit Mountain’s Bodhisattva, hoping he might assist in Yao Xin’s rebirth and return to Spirit Mountain.
Ordinary monks lacked the status and ability, but an Arhat Realm’s cultivation was sufficient to harness Spirit Mountain’s subtle magic for a chance at reincarnation.
Just like Xuanming Monk, one of the top three on the previous Hidden Dragon List.
Bright Temple had been reciting scriptures for three days. Customarily, feeling the sincerity of the Spirit Mountain’s Bodhisattva, they could manifest a Dharma Body within Bright Temple using the Great Divine Power and the Power of Incense.
As ti ticked by, it was soon the third noon, and within the Great Hall of the Bright Temple, a beam of golden light suddenly shot up to the sky.
Instantly, Heaven and Earth changed color, and for miles around, golden light filled the sky.
A sense of rcy enveloped the Heaven and Earth, and within Bright Temple, nearly a thousand monks reciting scriptures seed to have an epiphany, raising their heads to the heavens.
They saw a golden light cluster dozens of feet wide above Bright Temple, resembling a bright sun as the golden light gradually converged.
A phantom appeared before everyone.
The phantom was a Bodhisattva Dharma Image, crowned with a Buddha Crown, ears hanging down to the shoulders, holding a golden magic wand, with a red light gathering at its tip. Below seed an illusory azure lion, standing still like a sculpture.
The Bright Temple’s supervisor, startled upon seeing the Incense Fire Dharma Body, imdiately bowed:
“Disciple greets Manjusri Bodhisattva and welcos the arrival of Manjusri Bodhisattva!”
“Welco Manjusri Bodhisattva’s arrival!”
“Welco Manjusri Bodhisattva’s arrival!”
The monks behind the supervisor spoke in unison, their eyes filled with deep reverence.
The foremost of Spirit Mountain’s Four Great Bodhisattvas, undoubtedly an enlightened being among the celestial Buddhas, second only to the Buddha himself within Buddhism, and ranked third on the Ascending Immortal Tower’s Supre List.
Above him was only the City Lord of Martial Emperor City, Ye Xiangnan.
“Where is Yao Xin?”
Manjusri Bodhisattva’s Incense Fire Dharma Body was not lively, resembling a statue, with indifferent eyes seeming to see all beings as nothing.
