Xin Lin squatted to one side, staring at Monk Jun with eager eyes.
Ti ticked away, second by second.
Listening to the repetitive Buddhist scriptures, Xin Lin couldn’t help but admit that Monk Jun was very handso and had a pleasant voice. To Xin Lin’s ears, it sounded almost like a lullaby, and waves of sleepiness washed over him.
His eyelids drooped, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
Monk Jun opened his eyes and glanced at Xin Lin, who was curled up on one side, sleeping sweetly.
The corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted.
He looked just like the short-haired kitten he had raised when he was young in the academy.
That kitten loved to nap on his lap the most.
He stepped forward and picked up the Ancient Bronze Sword.
Inside the sword, the nine Yin Sha stirred as they caught the scent of human presence.
These Yin Sha were naturally full of Evil Qi, previously subdued by Gui Hu, and willing to be commanded by Xin Lin.
Today, they had been angered instead of cald by Monk Qingyu’s attempt to Transcend them, backfiring spectacularly.
Earlier they still avoided Xin Lin, but now with Xin Lin asleep, they beca increasingly brazen.
Evil lights flickered on the Ancient Bronze Sword, and threads of Yin Sha Qi began to diffuse from the sword’s body.
"Blind Monk, get lost!"
"Your broken scriptures are useless against us."
The chief Yin Sha yelled.
The other Yin Sha also laughed raucously.
"You nine have caused the death of ninety-six lives; by rights, you should enter the Beast Path and never the Human Path. However, your true hearts have not been extinguished, and you have been deceived by villains. The Buddhist way is concerned with karma. For the little benefactor’s sake, I’ll give you another chance."
Monk Jun smiled faintly.
His fingertips traced the body of the bronze sword, and as his lips moved, he began reading Buddhist scriptures once again.
But this ti, the scriptures were different from the ones Xin Lin had heard earlier.
Each verse of the scriptures seed to contain infinite power.
A golden light flickered at Monk Jun’s fingertips, and with each syllable of scripture, he left behind golden text on the Ancient Bronze Sword.
The text flashed across the blade and quickly disappeared into the Ancient Bronze Sword.
At that mont, the nine Yin Sha inside the sword realized sothing was wrong.
The vigorous energy emanating from the other party’s fingertips was not ordinary True Qi, but rather a force of Vast Righteous Energy.
The young novice monk, with the power of the scriptures, recited them aloud, using his fingers to dispel the evil.
rely nine characters, yet inside the Ancient Bronze Sword, the nine Yin Sha felt the blade being enveloped by that Vast Energy.
"Master, spare our lives!"
Only then did the Yin Sha realize that the novice monk before them was no ordinary person.
"Buddha transcends those with fate. Since you have a connection with , I will Transcend you all. Purify your souls, and be reborn."
The black light on the Ancient Bronze Sword faded, and the Yin Sha Qi dissipated.
The Ancient Bronze Sword looked as good as new, while a veil of exhaustion shrouded Monk Jun’s eyebrows.
He examined the bronze sword and noticed an unusual inscription at the bottom of the blade.
Beside him, Xin Lin mumbled a few words in his sleep.
"Daddy, don’t be afraid."
"Life-breaking Book, you’ve tricked again."
Monk Jun turned his gaze towards Xin Lin, to see the little face first furrowing its brow, and then breaking into a silly smile, prompting a silent chuckle from him.
Outside, the sky had grown dim, and the temple did not allow outside guests to stay overnight.
However, Monk Jun had no intention of waking Xin Lin.
He took off his outer monk robe, intending to cover Xin Lin with it.
"How dare you! Who permitted you to Transcend without permission in the temple!"
The door was kicked open.
Monk Qingyu led a group of Martial Monks storming in.
