Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Deceiving the Poor Monk so Badly
Jiang Fan’s fate had already been decided.
The four Vice Pavilion Masters had to settle for second-best choices.
Chen Zhengdao still chose Liu Qingxian.
Ye Cangyuan glanced at the outer-domain prodigies and saw that most had already been picked, with only one at the Sixth Level of Core Formation remaining.
He decisively chose Xia Chaoge, who was also at the Sixth Level of Core Formation.
After all, they’d crossed paths during the war between humans and the Demon Race.
Having so familiarity was better.
Gu Huaxi furrowed her brows.
By the ti she made her decision, the remaining Sixth Level of Core Formation prodigy from the outer domain had already been chosen by another Master.
For soone of her stature as a Vice Pavilion Master,
only disciples she had personally cultivated step by step could catch her eye,
and anyone below the Sixth Level of Core Formation was hardly worth considering.
Therefore,
choosing among the remaining Fifth Level of Core Formation was less appealing than simply selecting soone she liked.
After so thought, she said, “Xu Youran, co under my tutelage.”
Unable to accept Jiang Fan as her disciple, she figured taking his fiancée would be a way of forging good ties.
Xu Youran was overjoyed and quickly knelt to acknowledge her as his master: “Xu Youran greets Master.”
You Yunzi shot Gu Huaxi a disgruntled glance; he had the sa intention just now.
But Gu Huaxi had seized the opportunity.
Luckily, Jiang Fan had plenty of won.
He waved at Chen Silin: “You’ll join my line then.”
Chen Silin was overjoyed and imdiately knelt to acknowledge him: “Disciple Silin, greets Master.”
This scene,
left the outer-domain prodigies utterly frustrated.
What kind of nonsense was this?
The four Vice Pavilion Masters hadn’t chosen a single one of them!
Those selected were all Jiang Fan’s won!
Alright,
except for Xia Chaoge, but even she was closely connected to Jiang Fan!
“This isn’t fair!” Yu Tiandu clenched his fists angrily.
Before the selection began, he had assud the disciples chosen by the four Vice Pavilion Masters would certainly be among their outer-domain prodigies.
Who would have thought they’d all end up benefiting Jiang Fan’s won!
Utterly absurd!
Mu Ying was similarly indignant: “Where did it go wrong?”
“How did it end up like this?”
A bizarre disciple-acceptance ceremony, which pleased only four won, concluded just like that.
The Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master announced: “I will now formally announce the official list.”
“Mu Ying of Qingli Mountain, under Master Ning Kun.”
“Jiang Baihua of Qingli Mountain, under Master Rong Jun.”
“Yu Tiandu of Qingli Mountain, under Master Zhang Wenxin.”
“Liu Qingxian of Green Cloud Sect…”
…
“Lastly, Jiang Fan of Green Cloud Sect, under Master Yunyang.”
The Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master finished reading the list and closed it.
“Vice Pavilion Masters and Masters, instruct your new disciples on the sect’s rules,” he said.
“Take them into the underground world for a one-day experience.”
“Dismissed.”
At that mont,
a sudden voice ca from Dharma Seal Vajra, who had been observing as a guest.
“Hold on.”
Everyone turned to look at the eminent monk from Buddhism.
Dharma Seal Vajra stepped across the void and approached Jiang Fan.
His face bore a smile: “Master Jiang, you truly fooled this humble monk well.”
Ever since he had heard Jiang Fan being addressed as ‘Junior Brother Jiang,’
he had felt so suspicion.
Unexpectedly, he really was Jiang Fan!
Back then, he had t Jiang Fan but was misled by him.
Now, with Jiang Fan right before him, he had to watch as he joined the Heavenly chanism Pavilion.
Jiang Fan’s lips twitched slightly.
He had anticipated this ever since the list was announced.
However,
now that he had joined the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, he no longer had to fear Dharma Seal Vajra.
“This junior is dedicated to the Martial Path and unwilling to join Buddhism. I appreciate Master Dharma Seal’s kind intentions,” he said.
Hm?
This remark sparked uproar.
Especially among outer-domain prodigies, who couldn’t stay calm.
Yu Tiandu’s pupils contracted, and he exclaid: “What’s the aning of this?”
“Dharma Seal Vajra once tried to convert this Jiang Fan?”
“Impossible!”
Mu Ying also couldn’t accept it.
Even she, at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation, hadn’t caught Dharma Seal Vajra’s eye.
How could Jiang Fan, a disciple from a remote continent, be worthy?
The Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master’s eyes glead as he said:
“Master Dharma Seal, the person you ntioned earlier, could it possibly be him?”
Dharma Seal Vajra was a judge of prodigies.
Those on his conversion list were never ordinary.
They were all exceptionally talented, brilliant individuals favored by destiny.
Dharma Seal Vajra clasped his hands and chuckled lightly: “Pavilion Master, could you transfer him to White Horse Temple?”
“This child has deep ties with Buddhism.”
“Twice we’ve t, twice we’ve missed.”
“The workings of destiny are truly mysterious.”
Jiang Fan’s expression darkened, and he imdiately said:
“Master Dharma Seal!”
“A missed encounter already signifies the end of destiny.”
“I ask Master not to insist.”
Dharma Seal Vajra didn’t give up and smiled with greater warmth:
“Gold becos pure through refining; swords are honed through forging.”
“Master Jiang, your bond with Buddhism grows stronger with adversity.”
“Co, the path of Buddhism opens for you.”
Jiang Fan’s forehead throbbed with veins of anger.
He wanted to curse.
Who could rival these monks in eloquence?
He could only turn to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master for help, an expression of pleading in his eyes.
Dharma Seal Vajra noticed his look and turned toward the Pavilion Master, smiling:
“Pavilion Master,”
“If you would allow this disciple to join Buddhism,
“I will place the Golden Buddha in the Heavenly chanism Pavilion for ten years.”
The Pavilion Master was tempted.
The underground world harbored nurous dark entities, and the Golden Buddha was the perfect artifact to suppress them.
“Pavilion Master!”
“Please don’t!”
Liu Qingxian, Xu Youran, and Chen Silin turned pale with panic.
If Jiang Fan joined Buddhism, what would happen to them?
No wonder Jiang Fan didn’t fear Nascent Soul experts but instead dreaded these monks.
Clearly, he had long been targeted for conversion.
The Pavilion Master weighed his options and then said: “Master Dharma Seal.”
“Jiang Fan has already joined the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and is now one of our disciples.”
“Please do not make things difficult for him.”
At these words,
Dharma Seal Vajra let out a slight sigh: “What a pity, what a pity.”
“I once said that Xu Youran’s destiny carried her toward greatness.”
“It turns out that greatness is Master Jiang himself.”
He looked at Jiang Fan, his gaze glowing with mysterious Buddhist light.
As he examined him, the habitual smile on his face froze slightly, followed by a furrowing of his brows.
“Unbelievable.”
“I can’t see through him.”
“Master Jiang’s aura seems to be shrouded in profound destiny.”
A streak of intense light flared in his eyes.
“Master Jiang, consider this carefully once more.”
“If you join Buddhism, I can make an exception and invite the Bodhisattva to elevate you to the Vajra rank.”
The Pavilion Master’s pupils widened in shock.
Few knew that a Bodhisattva Realm high monk resided in White Horse Temple.
This level of power was equivalent to Divinity Transformation Realm in Magic Cultivation!
Promoting soone to Vajra Realm was no challenge for them.
What had Dharma Seal Vajra detected in Jiang Fan?
To offer such a cost for his conversion?
Fortunately, Jiang Fan’s resolve was firm. He remained unmoved and said:
“I have joined the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Joining Buddhism is out of the question, Master, please desist from persuading further.”
Dharma Seal Vajra looked deeply regretful.
A man embodying such profound destiny, if brought to White Horse Temple, would surely bring grand blessings.
The Pavilion Master discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Jiang Fan wavered and followed Dharma Seal Vajra, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s loss would be imnse.
“Master Dharma Seal, please proceed to the underground world.”
“Here is the Jade Talisman for entry.”
The Pavilion Master produced a Jade Talisman and threw it to him, politely but firmly sending him off.
Dharma Seal Vajra accepted the Jade Talisman and chanted a Buddhist mantra, departing with his entourage.
Jiang Fan finally felt the weight lift from his shoulders.
It was fortunate that he had joined the Heavenly chanism Pavilion.
Otherwise, Dharma Seal Vajra wouldn’t have let him go.
The Pavilion Master remained cautious, saying:
“Jiang Fan, from now on, whenever you encounter people from White Horse Temple, stay as far away as possible.”
“While they restrain themselves within the Heavenly chanism Pavilion,”
“it’s another story outside.”
Jiang Fan’s heart filled with concern, and he replied: “Understood, Pavilion Master.”
After a pause,
Jiang Fan asked:
“Pavilion Master, earlier you ntioned that we new disciples could experience the underground world for a day?”
Did he hear that correctly?
Joining the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and imdiately enjoying such privileges?
