460: Chapter 46 Sincerity 460: Chapter 46 Sincerity Golden Body Tower Top, a faint firelight ignited.
In the effect of Buddhist techniques, the illusory and intangible fate converged and swept into the ancient, damaged Buddha Bone, where blood and bone intertwined ignited, emitting a golden, sacred radiance.
“Reincarnators, the more of their past life’s divine soul retained, the more memories they can awaken to.”
Miao Zhen watched the Buddha Bone, “The Karma Dao awakened by Mi Yun is indeed extraordinary, but ultimately, it’s just a flicker of divine light.
Without more divine soul poured into it subsequently, this awakening is doomed to be merely a dreamlike illusion.”
“That’s why…
you came to Da Chu.”
“Yes.
This is…
the guidance of the Zen Master.”
Miao Zhen slightly lowered his eyes: “The moment I stepped into the Golden Body Tower, I knew this journey was worthwhile.
This Buddha Bone is indeed the creation left for the future generations by Tanluan.
If Mi Yun can absorb it, Buddhism will have a second significant reincarnator.
Unfortunately, this Buddha Bone has been sealed here for three hundred years; to draw out the divine soul, it requires pouring in a significant amount of fate.”
At this moment, Xie Xuanyi understood everything clearly.
If the one who reached the top today lacked strength, then the fate of this Buddha Bone might be somewhat lacking.
In such matters, a small discrepancy can lead to a grave error.
A miss is as good as a mile.
“News of a Buddhist reincarnator should be highly confidential.”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow, saying, “And you just told me this?”
“Master Xie’s identity should also be highly confidential.”
Miao Zhen said with a smile: “Since you’ve offered up your persistent ailment, it’s not right for this monk to hold anything back.
Some things…
can’t be hidden from a wise man.”
Indeed.
Xie Xuanyi had already seen the significance of the Buddha Bone.
If Miao Zhen tried to hide it, it would only arouse suspicion.
Handling it this way was optimal.
“There’s something I don’t quite understand.”
Xie Xuanyi’s attitude towards Miao Zhen softened a lot, he asked in puzzlement: “Fan Yin Temple is amongst the three greatest sects in the world…
placed within Da Li Country, it stands unrivaled.
Now with your appearance as a reincarnator, with your level of cultivation, looking across the entire Da Li, could there still be an adversary?”
Miao Zhen was speechless.
He stated with sentiment: “Does Master Xie wish to ask why this journey is such a rush to the west?”
“Yes.”
Xie Xuanyi could feel, Miao Zhen is very expectant of today’s ascender.
Indeed, this Buddha Bone…
holds extraordinary significance for Buddhism.
At any moment, to have one more reincarnator is extremely important.
But does Buddhism’s power really lack one more reincarnator to hold the fort now?
Could it be like the rumors in Da Chu Street, that Buddhism has encountered a great trouble now?
“Without concealing from Master Xie.
Buddhism is amidst its most tumultuous moments in three hundred years.”
Miao Zhen spoke softly, “The King of Li Kingdom has been bedridden for ten years, and these ten years Li Country seems peaceful but is actually facing rough undercurrents.
The National Master Nalan Xuance and Shangzhu Country’s Chen Chong have long held a grudge against our temple’s Zen Masters, and the conflicts have intensified these recent years.
Fan Yin Temple avoided and avoided, but now there’s no more room to avoid…”
“…Oh?”
Xie Xuanyi let out a profound exclamation.
The National Masters of Da Li are all masters of Mechanical Techniques.
And these Mechanical Techniques, as a branch of the “lower nine arts”, possess an extremely long history and a complete heritage.
Da Chu and Da Li, each dominates one corner of the northwest and southeast.
In the far east where the East Sea is boundless, above the sea surface, numerous Immortal Islands are situated.
The most well-known force is Wangyou Island.
And on par with Wangyou Island is another known as “Xuanwei”, also called “Ghostly Hidden”, where Xuanwei Island is the birthplace of the mechanical techniques of Da Li, and the current National Master of Da Li, Nalan Xuance is a native of Xuanwei Island and the star achiever of the Ghostly Hidden Sect today.
Xie Xuanyi, although he has never personally experienced the country master’s skill in mechanical string control, the Pure Yang Sect Leader specifically left advice during his travels in the worldly society.
If ever visiting Da Li, be extremely cautious around the Xuanwei Sect.
Unless necessary, do not interact with the Da Li National Master.
Descendants of Ghostly Hidden Island and lineage of Sky Watchers carry extremely unusual heritages.
People whom the Sect Leader personally advised are very few.
For this reason, Xie Xuanyi always harbored caution towards Nalan Xuance in his heart.
“Nalan Xuance’s methods, those who know, know.”
Miao Zhen said with a hint of regret: “Actually, the Zen Master had long seen the massive fate brought about by the breakage of Beihai Tomb, and in order to prepare for this reincarnation, we have waited a full 60 years.
The alignment of time, geographical advantage, and harmony of people were supposed to be perfect.
If not for these twists inside Da Li, I perhaps could have delayed my ‘awakening’ for a few more years.”
The awakening of a reincarnator is not necessarily better the earlier it happens.
The longer the divine soul and the host have time to fuse, the higher their degree of integration.
“Interesting.”
Xie Xuanyi couldn’t help but chuckle, “So Jun Mountain’s reincarnation is actually better than yours?”
“Sometimes…
being born too early isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
Miao Zhen said somberly, “It’s a pity, if you hadn’t come today, I would have had a chance to personally give him a beating.”
It was clear.
Miao Zhen really wanted to find an opportunity to teach Jun Mountain a lesson alone.
After all, he started cultivating earlier than Jun Mountain.
This Golden Body was nearing perfection; if the two really fought, Jun Mountain would most likely “flee in a rout”.
If it were Xie Xuanyi, the situation wouldn’t be much better either.
Right now, Xie Xuanyi’s Principle of Life hasn’t yet solidified.
In a genuine fight, Miao Zhen wouldn’t just stand here and hard block two blended Great Success Sword Energy attacks.
“Hold on…”
Xie Xuanyi rubbed his brow, realizing something.
Buddhism is going to have a second reincarnator.
For Taoism and Da Sui Sword Palace, this is not good news.
