’Just you wait!’
"His Highness the Buddha Prince broke through, too! As expected of His Highness the Buddha Prince, breaking through so quickly."
Yang An’s breakthrough drew the attention of everyone in the inner area, as well as the quiet discussion of those outside.
As the Buddha’s Son, his every move was under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
Many were astonished, but a few dissonant voices could still be heard among the crowd.
"Even though His Highness the Buddha Prince broke through, I’d say he’s still no match for Saint Child Guanghui. Saint Child Guanghui broke through earlier, and his breakthrough was more difficult. His Highness the Buddha Prince rely advanced from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of Primordial Feeding."
"Even so, he’s far beyond our level. We shouldn’t speak ill of His Highness the Buddha Prince."
"Heh heh, what do you know? We may just be spectators with no chance at this fortunate encounter, but if His Highness the Buddha Prince can’t surpass Saint Child Guanghui, won’t that make for a good show?"
Everyone present knew exactly what "a good show" ant.
His Highness the Buddha Prince and Saint Child Guanghui had entered the Great Virtue Temple at the sa ti. Yet, due to the difference in their reincarnated identities, their treatnt and status were worlds apart.
If the Buddha’s Son’s natural talent and Wisdom Root couldn’t even surpass a re Holy Child, wouldn’t that an his title was just for show?
After all, these spectating Monks were not reincarnations themselves. They were filled with envy for the disciples who could enter the Sacred Heart Institute and the Saint Buddha Institute.
But if things got interesting, it would prove one thing: no matter how powerful one’s past life was, it was no match for the Wisdom Root and talent one possessed for cultivation in this life.
As for the temple’s policy of pouring resources into these reincarnations, they—the ones at the bottom—might even benefit if that policy were to change.
That was the potential impact of this whole affair.
They weren’t just here for the drama.
"Silence!"
Perhaps because the chatter from the outer crowd had grown too loud, even threatening to disrupt the Dharma assembly in the inner area, one of the guardians within shouted a reprimand.
At the edge of the inner area, Guang’an, the Attendant Monk to His Highness the Buddha Prince, also glared angrily at the gossiping crowd.
It just wasn’t his place to speak, or he would have undoubtedly shut those people up himself.
Seeing a guardian shout the reprimand, Guang’an breathed a sigh of relief. But as he turned back to look at the Buddha’s Son, a hint of worry inevitably crept into his eyes.
In truth, he had feared this very scenario—the one the crowd was chattering about.
If His Highness the Buddha Prince’s status were to be affected by this, then he, too, would beco a laughingstock.
After all, he took great pride in being the Attendant Monk to His Highness the Buddha Prince.
He had been able to enter the inner area and partake in this rare opportunity thanks to the favor of His Highness the Buddha Prince, but now, his mind was in turmoil.
But just then, the Heaven and Earth Mana blanketing the inner area suddenly rippled.
This phenonon once again drew everyone’s gaze.
’Soone broke through again! Who is it?’
Everyone expanded their senses and quickly locked onto the source of the breakthrough.
But when they saw who it was, everyone present froze.
anwhile, Guang Hui, who had closed his eyes and entered a ditative state to rapidly condense his Mana, suddenly snapped his eyes open. He stared at Yang An, his face a mask of utter astonishnt.
’He broke through again? How is that possible?’
’Didn’t he just have a breakthrough monts ago?!’
’Counting the ti, it probably hasn’t even been ten breaths.’
Having just broken through monts ago, Yang An’s Cultivation Level skyrocketed from the Middle Stage of Primordial Feeding to the Late-stage of Primordial Feeding, matching Guang Hui’s own level!
’This...’
Guang Hui’s expression turned foul. Even the Mana he had just absorbed into his body rapidly dissipated due to his emotional turmoil.
It wasn’t just Guang Hui. At that mont, everyone, both inside and outside the main area—with the sole exception of the few Zen Masters still preaching at the front—had their eyes fixed on Yang An.
Too fast! It was simply too fast!
To break through two Small Realms in such a short ti, going straight from the Early Stage to the Late-stage of Primordial Feeding.
’Is this the power of a True Buddha Reincarnation? Such unparalleled Wisdom Root and Enlightennt!’
The very people who had been gossiping about Yang An monts ago were now utterly dumbfounded.
Who could have imagined that the words they’d just spoken would be thrown back in their faces the very next mont?
One could only say, as expected of His Highness the Buddha Prince, a True Buddha Reincarnation. His talent was truly peerless.
Guang’an’s Cultivation Level was only at the Early Stage of Primordial Feeding, so he couldn’t perceive the aura of Yang An’s current cultivation. However, seeing the looks on everyone’s faces, he instantly understood what had happened.
Just a mont ago, his mind had been in turmoil, but in an instant, that turmoil turned to complete reassurance.
’Of course! I knew it! His Highness the Buddha Prince is beyond comparison. Don’t even try to asure up!’
The people in the inner area exchanged surprised glances. However, those who qualified to be in the inner area were guardians of at least the Visceral Stone Realm, so they were relatively composed.
To break through twice in such a short span of ti was likely due to the Buddha’s Son’s long-term accumulation of power, which, combined with the opportunity of this Dharma assembly, allowed for a sudden, explosive release.
Even so, it was enough to leave everyone sighing in admiration.
However, breakthroughs were no simple matter. His Highness the Buddha Prince had managed to go from the Early Stage to the Late-stage of Primordial Feeding, but he would most likely stop there.
Both breakthroughs were only advancents between Small Realms. The gap between the Primordial Feeding realm and the Visceral Stone Realm, however, was a Great Realm. The difficulty was imnse, and not a gap that could be crossed so easily.
Furthermore, one also had to face the tribulation from their primary Cultivation Technique. When breaking through a Great Realm, the ’price’ of one’s Cultivation Technique would erupt.
Breaking through from Primordial Feeding to Visceral Stone was difficult!
It seed the rest of the Dharma assembly would be much quieter now.
Soone once again barked at the spectating Monks outside, ordering them to be quiet. The crowd soon settled, imrsing themselves once more in the chanting of the assembly.
Guang Hui let out a long breath. De Ben, sitting beside him, also looked troubled, but he still spoke softly to Guang Hui:
"If you can be the first to break through to the Visceral Stone Realm, Junior Brother, that will be proof enough of your own Wisdom Root and talent."
Guang Hui slowly stabilized his emotions and nodded.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
He understood this as well. They were on the sa starting line now—it was perfectly fair. All that mattered was who could break through to the Visceral Stone Realm first.
That would be when their true superiority would be decided!
Guang Hui slowly closed his eyes. This ti, he would give it his all, striving to reach the threshold of his own breakthrough as quickly as possible.
But just as he closed his eyes, preparing to imrse himself in cultivation and focus all his effort on condensing his Mana, in that very instant, the dense Heaven and Earth Mana within the inner area surged violently once again.
This ti, the disturbance in the Heaven and Earth Mana was even more conspicuous than before.
’Soone’s breaking through! And it’s a Great Realm breakthrough!’
His freshly closed eyes snapped open again. Guang Hui stared, dumbfounded, at the one breaking through, his gaze filled with utter disbelief.
’It’s the Buddha’s Son! It’s him again!’
’The Visceral Stone Realm! He actually broke through to the Visceral Stone Realm!’
’How could he be so fast?! How could anyone be this fast?!’
Once again, every eye in the place turned to Yang An. This ti, it wasn’t just the spectators outside who were stunned—even those within the inner area were completely stupefied.
’This... is this the power of the Buddha’s Son?’
’It’s terrifying!’
Before anyone could even recover from their shock, still lost in utter astonishnt, in the next mont, a dark red flare of light erupted around Yang An, instantly enveloping his entire body.
A pained expression imdiately appeared on Yang An’s face.
At the sa ti, countless particles of Golden Dust poured from the pores all over his body, spreading out like a billowing bolt of silk.
