Chapter 252: Forming The Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique, Sha Xin’s Confusion

A huge display of Buddhist Light shined brightly above the scripture library.

The conjurations of multiple Buddhist Techniques in the sky had created quite a commotion.

The chief of the Dhamma Institute, Sha Xin, immediately descended into despair when he remembered the purpose of his confrontation here.

He had initially wanted to stop Chu Kuangren from accessing the sea of knowledge that had been amassed for many years in the Thunder Temple’s scripture library.

However, that no longer seemed necessary anymore.

What use was there to get Chu Kuangren out of the library now that he had already mastered several types of Sage Techniques?

It was too late now.

Sha Xin would never have imagined that Chu Kuangren would possess such terrifying comprehension. Not even half a day had passed before Chu Kuangren had mastered all the techniques there were to learn from the library.

Was that bastard still human?!

At that instance, the Daoist Conjurations in the sky began to dissipate.

A creak was heard.

The door of the scripture library finally opened and out came Chu Kuangren.

His body was radiating with Buddhist Light and Daoist Rhymes emanated, which had some indescribable holiness to them. On top of his stellar features, it gave him a deity-like presence that certainly attracted the attention of all the monks at the scene.

After years of daily meditations, monks typically possessed a calm and controlled composure.

Yet even such composure was threatened when they finally saw Chu Kuangren.

It was an awestruck feeling that was invoked when perfection was witnessed.

A deep-rooted instinctual feeling that existed deep within each individual.

“My Buddhist Core is tough like steel, it shall not be shaken. Amitabha!” Sha Xin immediately chanted a mantra when he saw Chu Kuangren, but his hostility towards Chu Kuangren had been drastically and subconsciously reduced.

“Wait, the Daoist Rhymes on Brother Chu’s body…”

Suddenly, Hui Xin was startled.

He had realized that Chu Kuangren’s Daoist Rhymes were a little peculiar. Not only did it contain the Daoist Rhymes from the Buddhist Techniques, but there were traces of Daoist Rhymes from other techniques as well.

Sha Xin gasped too when he noticed the same phenomenon. He was in utter disbelief.

Aside from the Buddhist Techniques’ Daoist Rhymes, Chu Kuangren was also radiating myriads of other techniques’ Daoist Rhymes.

There were those of the Sword Dao, Fist Dao, the Five Ways Dao, Yin Yang Dao…

Countless Daoist Rhymes were flowing seamlessly within Chu Kuangren’s body as he radiated with divine light!

At that moment, Chu Kuangren’s body was like a furnace — smelting the countless Daoist Rhymes and fusing them into a new, unprecedented Daoist Rhyme!

Formed with countless techniques’ Daoist Rhymes, this new Daoist Rhyme was represented by a single form of Daoist Rhymes yet behaved as if there were countless forms of Daoist Rhymes firing in unison.

“T-this is the Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique!”

“Out of Three-Thousand Physiques, the Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique is ranked third in the Supreme Daoist Physiques! It hasn’t appeared for many years now!”

“Legend has it that once the Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique is complete, its user could easily slaughter a Sage. It’s the world’s most terrifying power!”

Hui Xin and Sha Xin were both shocked.

They already knew Chu Kuangren had the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, and that it was one of the top ten Supreme Physiques amongst the Three-Thousand Physiques.

However, Chu Kuangren had surprised them with another Supreme Physique that was more powerful than the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart — the Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique!

It was difficult to imagine just how terrifying his combat strength would now be!

Chu Kuangren slowly retracted his Daoist Rhymes and his body resumed to its normal state. He walked calmly towards Hui Xin and Sha Xin before greeting them, “Your generosity in opening the scripture library to me has helped me a lot. Thank you, Masters.”

With the help of the Meditational Clarity Trait, Chu Kuangren had managed to master various Buddhist Techniques very quickly. On top of all the previous techniques he had learned, Chu Kuangren had finally managed to further enhance the Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique!

Although Chu Kuangren had not brought this physique to absolute completion, his Daoist Physique’s abilities would definitely increase alongside his cultivation.

“Looks like I’ve made the right choice in coming to the Thunder Temple.”

Chu Kuangren thought to himself.

“Brother Chu, you must be exhausted from studying so many techniques. I’ve instructed the disciples to prepare the guest rooms. Feel free to rest at your convenience,” said Hui Xin.

“My gratitude, Master.”

Chu Kuangren smiled and proceeded to leave with Lan Yu.

Once the duo had left, Hui Xin looked at Sha Xin mischievously and said, “I heard that you were planning to drag Brother Chu out of the library. Why didn’t you say anything just now?”

Sha Xin’s expression immediately sank as he said, “What use was there to drag him out? He has learned all that’s to learn from the library, yet you’re still dissing me. How are you still the Abbot of this temple?”

Sha Xin had always been upfront with Hui Xin. Having grown up together, the duo had a relationship that were unlike others. It was why Sha Xin could afford to be more nonchalant with Hui Xin as compared to other monks.

Since Hui Xin was familiar with Sha Xin’s personality too, he did not blame the latter either. “Do you know what benefits I’ve reaped after my exchange with Brother Chu?”

“What benefit is there to reap?” Sha Xin had caught wind of Hui Xin’s dialogue exchange with Chu Kuangren from other monks.

However, he did not know the full details of the story. From Sha Xin’s perspective, even if Chu Kuangren was well-versed in Buddhism, he was nonetheless an outsider and should not be simply allowed into the scripture library.

“I’ll soon attempt ascension. After my exchange with Brother Chu, I’m seventy-percent confident that I shall succeed!”

Hui Xin revealed the shocking news.

Sha Xin was immediately startled. “What exactly did he tell you that left such a profound effect on your Buddhist cultivation?!”

In Thunder Temple, a cultivator’s Buddhist cultivation base had a strong correlation with one’s Buddhist Techniques. A higher cultivation base would allow the cultivator to unleash even more powerful forms of Buddhist techniques.

Hui Xin initially had only fifty person confidence in attempting ascension, but a conversation with Chu Kuangren this time was all it took to raise this probability to seventy percent?!

The increase of twenty percent ought not to be underestimated. Amongst the countless cultivators that existed in this world, only a few had such a high confidence.

Sha Xin was incredulous. He could not believe that a brief exchange with Chu Kuangren would leave such a profound effect on Hui Xin’s cultivation base.

Hui Xin retrieved a booklet and passed it to Sha Xin.

“See for yourself.”

“This is…”

Sha Xin opened the booklet and the first sentence was enough to invoke a dramatic change in his reaction.

“All appearances are illusory. If one sees that all appearances are not in fact their true manifestations, then one shall see the Buddha …”

That one sentence alone was enough to impart enough wisdom to take Sha Xin’s breath away. Moreover, there were a dozen more sentences in that booklet.

“Did Chu Kuangren say all these?”

“That’s right.” Hui Xin nodded. “Wu Ye shared these with me. It’s what Chu Kuangren said when he gave Wu Ye guidances.”

Sha Xin was silent, and as he stared at the booklet in his hands, it suddenly felt so much heavier. If these words were spread to the world, it would probably be enough to grant Chu Kuangren a supreme status among the Buddhist community.

“No wonder you allowed him to enter the scripture library freely.”

“You should take this booklet back and study it. Sigh, Sha Xin, although you proclaim yourself to be a Buddhist, your murderous qi is too strong. I hope these words could help you in your journey,” Hui Xin said softly.

“Alright.”

Sha Xin kept the booklet.

Back in the Dhamma Institute, Sha Xin spent an entire night reading the booklet. There may only be slightly more than a dozen sentences in the booklet, which summed up to roughly two hundred words, Sha Xin spent an entire night scrutinizing each and every word.

However, Sha Xin did not reap any benefit that night at all, and there was a confused look in his eyes instead.

“I’ve spent so many years killing others, can I really reap the benefit?! Can I still lower my sword and ascend into Buddhahood?!”

“But if I laid down my sword, who’ll be there to protect others?”

The longer Sha Xin contemplated, the more he struggled.
