"Don't rush, let's discuss one issue at a time; there is still time, and the old monk isn't going to die that quickly." Sitting on the stone steps at the front of the main hall, the old monk looked at Chu Mo, whose eyes were reddened, with a smile, "Nor should you cry. In this lifetime, the old monk did not seek Buddha, but it seems this final passage into nirvana… might truly make me a Buddha, haha, a fitting end to life!"

Chu Mo tightly pressed his lips together, not knowing what to say, as the chilling sadness in his heart did not lessen at all.

"First, regarding your origin, this old monk cannot tell—not that I can't tell, but that it must not be told!" the old monk pointed towards the sky, "Whoever speaks of it… will face divine retribution, a real divine retribution."

Chu Mo nodded silently, softly speaking, "Okay, I understand. I won't ask about this."

"Yes, good child. Although the old monk is not afraid of dying, the problem is, there isn't even enough time to tell you before I turn to ashes. Even if it's written down, not a single word can be left behind," the old monk sighed softly before continuing, "Second, about the old monk's cultivation level, this can be discussed."

Chu Mo raised his head, looking at the old monk; this was something he was indeed very curious about.

Just like Xu Du, the old monk's junior disciple before, who was merely an early Mahayana cultivator but suddenly crossed the entire Mahayana phase, directly entering the Ascension phase and went through the tribulation… it was truly unimaginable.

"This matter starts with the place we are in. This is a holy land of Buddha, known as Pure Land. Here on the Pure Land, we can conceal many secrets of fate, especially those from the Immortal Realm." The old monk revealed a somewhat mischievous smile, "In fact, according to the levels of cultivators, the old monk should be considered Quasi-Supreme."

Hiss!

Chu Mo couldn't help but gasp, his eyes showing disbelief. He could hardly believe it; this old monk... this Buddhist sect leader hidden in the Immortal Realm, was actually a Quasi-Supreme?

If this news were to spread, it would probably scare a large number of people to death, right?

If those emperors who strut about in the Heavenly Realm knew this, they would probably tuck their tails and start behaving themselves right away, right? Dare they act as arrogantly as before?

No wonder the old monk faced the man in green… namely, the Blood Demon Ancestor's avatar without any fear, completely composed!

It turns out that the old monk alone had the power to suppress him!

"This... it's actually not much," the old monk sighed, "Several years ago, the sect moved here from Beyond Heaven. Until now, all the fellow sect members who came with me have attained Buddhahood, except for me who is still here barely holding on."

As he spoke, the old monk glanced at Chu Mo, "The old monk has lived life without any attachments, and my heart is exceedingly open. But this time, there is one thing I ask for."

Chu Mo nodded earnestly, "As long as I am able to do it!"

The old monk smiled, "If you see Xu Du later, my younger disciple, remember to protect him a bit. That child has sufficient talents and spirituality, but the path he walks... is the one of the Wrathful King Kong, which easily attracts powerful enemies. If you could look after him for me, I would be very much at ease."

Chu Mo nodded earnestly, "Don't worry, from now on Xu Du will be like a brother to me, Chu Mo, and I will do everything I can to protect him throughout his life!"

The old monk revealed a delighted smile, thinking to himself: That's the word I needed! Protecting Xu Du throughout his life is like protecting the Buddhist sect throughout a generation! If you do manage to take that step in the future, being your brother, what would it mean to let Buddhism return to that realm…?

Thinking this, the old monk couldn't help but give a bitter smile, "I say I have no attachments, isn't this deceiving myself?"

After a moment, the old monk continued, "Regarding that young man's background, since it's related to your origin, the old monk cannot say more. But I can tell you clearly, they won't be able to pass through the Buddhist stellar array and enter into this world within a hundred years. It's a limitation of my power, I can only ensure a century, so you must hasten your cultivation. The old monk believes, with your talent, you surely can reach an extremely high level within a hundred years."

"That stellar array… did you use all your strength to seal it?" Chu Mo looked at the old monk, suddenly feeling that he might not owe much to Buddhism, but what he owed this old monk… was really too much!

The old monk laughed carelessly, "This is all predestined causality. The favor I asked of you may seem simple, but it's not simple at all. Of course, it's not to harm you, and one day you'll understand. This causality... is reciprocal. In fact, when that day really comes, it's the old monk who will have the advantage!"

Chu Mo shook his head, smiling resignedly, "If it weren't for you today, I would have already died once."

"If it weren't for me today, you wouldn't have died either." The old monk glanced at Chu Mo meaningfully and sighed lightly, "To think that the Drifting Supreme Empress, who once outshone the entire realm, eventually passed down her Nine Lives Technique... and to you, no less."

"What?" Chu Mo suddenly looked at the old monk in disbelief, feeling as if all the hairs on his body were standing on end.

The old monk waved his hand, smiling, "Don't worry, I haven't seen through all your abilities. It's just that when you were about to use the Nine Lives Technique, a bit of its essence leaked. Luckily, I was once acquainted with the Drifting Supreme and am quite familiar with the essence of the Nine Lives Technique. From how you activated it, it seems you've already stepped into the Six True Lives realm! With all forms, true or false, fallen... as long as a drop of blood essence remains, you can resurrect. Am I right?"

Chu Mo looked at the old monk, his lips twitching, "No mistake..." In fact, even Chu Mo himself didn't know that the beautiful Supreme Empress was named Drifting.

The old monk looked at Chu Mo and said, "Although you haven't shown much today, I have still seen the shadows of seven or eight Supremes' traditions in you."

"..." Chu Mo felt speechless again, and he was starting to understand the true meaning behind the old monk's words, that he had migrated from Beyond Heaven together with the Buddhist followers. This old monk... probably lived through countless eras! Even though his current state was only equivalent to a Quasi-Supreme cultivator, perhaps even the Supremes from the Ruins realm would have to show him respect!

At that moment, Chu Mo suddenly thought about whether the Realm Spirit had already foresaw this day when it urged him to join the Buddhist sect.

Mysterious Realm Spirit...

Chu Mo shook his head and sighed.

"Multiple skills do not overwhelm one's self, and since you possess expertise from a hundred families, I'll impart to you another divine ability of the Buddhist sect." As he spoke, the old monk didn't even wait for Chu Mo to refuse, but directly transferred a divine notion into the depths of Chu Mo's spirit sea.

"The Six True Words of the Buddha!" Chu Mo was so startled upon learning this divine ability that he nearly jumped up, completely flabbergasted. It turned out what the old monk had imparted was the exact Buddhist mantra that the six golden Buddhas had voiced in the sky just earlier!

It was those Six True Words that had frozen the young Supreme in place, rendering him unable to move, and even sealed his divine sense!

The power of this mantra was so immense that it already seemed to transcend the Supreme Arts!

"My disciple isn't quite suitable for learning this, and now you're the only person in this lineage of the Buddhist sect who knows these Six True Words," the old monk said with a beaming smile.

"Ah... wait, wait!" Chu Mo's face suddenly changed, staring at the old monk dumbfounded, "Master... senior, this can't be right! I... I haven't agreed to convert to monkhood, and I haven't even married yet!"

My cold is better, and I'm feeling cheerful. Thanks to the brothers who funded 10,000 starting coins for a monthly ticket yesterday. Next time, still aim for subscription-based monthly tickets. There are many old books, with links on the homepage, and subscriptions yield more tickets, haha. I feel sorry for you rewarding me like this; keeping it for reading would be better.

We will continue to explode in output today; there's a lot of pressure on the monthly ticket board, so don't blame me for asking for votes. When you're in the world of martial arts, there's no other way. So, I must continue to ask for votes. Old readers should know I never forcibly ask; those with monthly tickets can cast one, and those without can cast a few recommendation tickets, and I'm just as grateful.

Of course, rich tycoons are welcome too...

Haha, alright, that's it, let the explosion begin.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible.
