Chapter 268: Mysterious Monk, Saint Points The Way
“Senior Brother Shen Tian, I’ve admired you for a long time already!”
“I heard that Senior Brother is the Son of Providence and is blessed by the heavens. Is it really true?”
“I heard that you’re the first in the God of War Tablet, and you’re the first Eight-Star Prodigy, so amazing!”
“Senior Brother, I’ve heard about your stories as I grew up. Do you have a Dao companion now? Could you consider me?”
...
Just as Shen Tian walked toward Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, many female disciples surged up to him.
Their eyes were shining as they surrounded Shen Tian.
Shen Tian instantly felt that it was an unwise move.
Originally, Shen Tian thought that there were many people in Heavenly Venerable White Lotus’ group, so it would not be as conspicuous. Thus, it would be more convenient for him to do what he wants.
However, once he joined this group, he regretted his decision.
He had forgotten that he was a handsome man with unmatched looks, so no matter where he was, he would be the focus of attention.
Even if there were 100+ people in Heavenly Venerable White Lotus’ group, he was destined to be the center of attention. It could not be avoided.
How could he secretly do what he wanted when he was stared at by so many people? It was simply impossible!
Sigh... Being too handsome is so troublesome!
“Senior and Junior Sisters, please calm down!”
Shen Tian’s face darkened. “We are going to wipe out the Evil Spirit Sect this time. It’s not some field outing.
“Everyone, please be on guard and do not take it lightly. I emphasize once again, this is not a drill!
“I do not wish to see any Senior or Junior Sister hurt after wiping out the Evil Spirit Sect!”
Shen Tian’s loud and powerful speech instantly quietened down the young female cultivators.
However, the admiration in their eyes as they looked at Shen Tian increased.
As expected of the Divine Firmament Saint. Not only is he so handsome, but he’s that gentle too.
Not only is he gentle, but he’s also handsome by being so domineering.
I can’t help but want to continue listening to him speak!
I love it so much!
Upon seeing that Shen Tian had such a high prestige within this group of young disciples, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus smiled.
On the contrary, Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus looked at those female disciples with a displeased expression. She was surrounded by red Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire), so she looked gorgeous, noble, and... irascible.
“Everyone, pay attention. Do you think we’re going on a jaunt? Also, that one over there, throw away the Image Recording Crystal!
“In this Immeasurable Ancient State, evil cultivators might be hiding in any corner and could possibly ambush us anytime.
“Under such a situation, you actually dare to think of such useless things? Are all of you looking for death?
“In such a state, you’ll only face death if you encounter evil cultivators!”
The fiery-red Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus’ hands contrasted with her hourglass figure.
Raging flames burned on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade as Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus said coldly, “When we enter the Immeasurable Ancient State, we might encounter dangers anytime.
“If there anyone else speaks nonsense again, then don’t blame me for being merciless!”
After finishing, Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus held her fiery-red Green Dragon Crescent Blade and dashed toward the Immeasurable Ancient State.
Irascible Aunt-Master, awaiting to slice people...
“Senior Sister Crimson Lotus is impatient, so don’t mind what she said. Anyway, take caution.”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus smiled as she followed Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus while Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance held the Jade Mirror and guarded by the side.
They headed toward the Immeasurable Ancient State with great strength and vigor.
At the same time, within the Immeasurable Ancient State...
A monk was sitting cross-legged within the broken palace.
That monk was dressed weirdly, and he had only shaved half of his head.
His head’s left half was extremely shiny, while the right half was filled with long smooth black straight hair.
There was half the Swastika symbol “卐” on the left half of his head while a ball of strange black flame was on his right.
He wore a white monk robe on the left half of his body while wearing black armor on the right half as if he was an Asura.
He just sat within the palace, but Buddhist light shone upon him on his left, making everything seem beautiful, peaceful, dignified as if it was a paradise.
Meanwhile, on his right, there was black smoke surging out; a glimpse of blood, fire, chaos, and endless slaughters could be seen from within.
It was as if that strange monk was situated between a true Buddha and evil demon, life and death, good and evil.
As the Buddhist saying went, “The sea of suffering is boundless, yet a turn of the gear is the other shore. A wrongdoer achieves salvation as soon as he gives up evil.”
However, this monk did not seem to take a side. His whole being was a conflicted existence.
He was chanting some sutra.
With each word spoken, it would gather to form runes that would fly around his body.
If there were other monks present, they might be able to recognize that the sutra this person was chanting was the supreme classic Great Prajna Sutra.
However, he was chanting the sutra backward.
One had to know that the Great Prajna Sutra’s status within Buddhism could be compared to that of the imperial sutras—its value was immeasurable.
To Buddhist monks, this sutra was sacred and inviolable. Any monk who was lucky enough to obtain it would worship it as if worshiping the Buddha.
Even reading one word wrong was counted as blasphemy, not to mention him purposely reading it backward. It was akin to straying from the classics and rebelling against orthodoxy. He was bringing disgrace to the true Buddha!
What was more astonishing was that even though the reverse sutra he was chanting was utter nonsense without any profundity, the laws of heaven and earth actually reacted to his sutra, forming weird Sanskrit characters.
The Sanskrit characters were dark red, and each of them was filled with supreme force.
They seemed to be hiding the truth that was completely opposite from Buddhism!
Time passed by minutes and seconds. The dark red Sanskrit characters increased more and more around the monk, becoming more and more concentrated.
In the end, those Sanskrit characters were imprinted onto the monk’s body and disappeared immediately after.
The monk gradually opened his eyes. Three figures were standing in front of him.
Those figures were all wearing long dark-red robes, and the laws could be vaguely seen surrounding them.
It was obvious they definitely had extraordinary cultivation levels.
Nonetheless, they were all extremely humble and did not dare to overstep in the slightest before this monk.
“Lifeless King, those cultivators from the cultivation sects have arrived. Should we make a move?”
The monk smiled slightly, and the Buddhist light formed a black Golden Brahma Kamal Flower at the tip of his finger. It seemed solemn and weird.
He smiled and said, “It’s alright. The time has yet to come.”
After finishing, he closed his eyes once again and continued chanting the reverse sutra as if the cultivators’ allied army that came to the Immeasurable Ancient State to wipe them out was just a bunch of nobodies that were no worth for him to take action.
...
“Go to hell!”
The nearly 1,000-feet-long blade filled with blazing flames directly sliced through the black array formation protecting the mountain.
Heavenly Venerable held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade burning with flames and charged into the array formation first while the disciples of other sects followed behind her closely.
“Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, we have not found any Evil Spirit Sect disciples.”
“Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, we discovered that the pill room of the Evil Spirit Sect is completely empty, all the cauldrons and pills have been taken.”
“Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, we discovered that the weapon room of the Evil Spirit Sect is completely empty, all the furnaces and Dharma artifacts have been taken.”
“Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, we discovered that the door to the Evil Spirit Sect’s treasure room is open and is completely empty, all the treasures have been taken.”
The faces of the three Heavenly Venerables darkened upon hearing the various disciples’ reports.
They had already seized seven to eight mountains with array formations, but they had not encountered even one evil cultivator, and all the rooms were completely empty.
Just how clean did they pack their rooms? Even cockroaches would starve to death...
What did this mean?
This meant that the Seven Kill Sect’s evil cultivators had already obtained news beforehand and started to retreat.
Now they could only hope that the evil cultivators were only hiding in a certain corner of the Immeasurable Ancient State instead of having escaped.
Or else, this plan of the sects wiping out the Seven Kill Sect would become a joke!
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked toward Shen Tian and said, “Tian’er, I heard from Senior Brother Sacred Leader that you’re the Son of Providence blessed by the heavens.
“You had also discovered the evil cultivators from the Blood Kill Sect and exposed them previously. Now that our group has yet to discover anything, which direction... do you think we should explore next?”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus’ question instantly focused everyone’s attention on Shen Tian.
Eyes full of anticipation gathered on the Divine Firmament Saint’s face.
It appeared, it had appeared!
The legendary... Saint’s choice!
They had heard that the Divine Firmament Saint handsome was not only handsome, but he was also blessed by providence. Thus, no matter where he went, he would definitely encounter fortuitous opportunities without fail.
They could finally see such a miraculous scene right before their eyes now. It made them anticipate just from imagining!
...
Shen Tian looked at Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance, and Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus helplessly as truthfully speaking, he had wanted to point the way since way earlier.
The problem is that Aunt-Master Crimson Lotus is just too impatient. She just directly charged in while holding her Green Dragon Crescent Blade. She’s even more domineering than Senior Sister Yunxi.
Well, actually, Senior Sister Yunxi’s Fire Lightning arts were taught by her, so she’s counted as her disciple.
Anyway, Shen Tian really did not dare to stop Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus. He was afraid that she might slice him into two if she could not control her blade in time.
The good thing was that Heavenly Venerable White Lotus had finally asked Shen Tian, so he now had the chance to showcase his “sixth sense”.
Hehe, Aunt-Masters, Senior Sisters, and Junior Sisters, I’ll definitely freeload off all of your fortuitous opportunities!
