Chapter 1664 (Raw 1676): Unbroken Karma, Unending Massacre

As the sound of the wooden fish approached, a small boat appeared in everyone’s vision .

A gray-robed monk stood on the boat as it moved smoothly . He seemed separate from the mundane, giving the impression that this place was a pure Buddhist land .

Xiao Chen felt certain that this was an esteemed monk of the Potala Mountain . Based on his aura, he was at least equal in strength to the Protector .

“The Potala Mountain…”

The Protector’s expression turned grave . The Potala Mountain was one of the Grave Sea’s three blessed lands . It was replete with orthodox Buddhist sect temples, even great temples that were Rank 4 sects .

Actually, the Protector was not surprised . He had known that he would alarm the people of Potala Mountain the moment he executed the Black Lotus Church’s secret art .

However, the Protector had not expected this person to arrive so quickly .

Needless to say, this gray-robed monk was definitely from one of those great temples .

Only an esteemed monk of a Rank 4 temple could arrive so quickly and place such enormous pressure on the Protector .

If it were an ordinary day, the Protector would not mind fighting this monk to see who was more skilled .

However, the Protector could not indulge himself right now . If he wasted time here, more people would come .

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the Protector made a move . A gigantic black Buddha hand surrounded by countless scriptures pressed down on that boat .

Under the pressure of that Buddha’s palm, the air was compressed . Even before the palm landed, the water under the small boat slowly sank under the immense pressure .

“May the Lord Buddha preserve us!”

As the Buddhist greeting rang out, the gray-robed monk gently knocked on the wooden fish .

As the sound of the wooden fish reverberated, an intense Buddhist light merged with it and radiated .

“Boom!” That black Buddha’s hand exploded from the collision with that Buddhist light and dissipated into nothing .

That gray-robed monk looked up but found that the Protector had already vanished, having run off at some point in time .

That gray-robed monk did not intend to give chase . Although this monk’s cultivation was higher than what the Protector showed, he could not do anything if the other party wanted to leave . Hence, he could not be bothered to waste the effort .

The gray-robed monk swept his gaze through the place and saw Xiao Chen collapsed on the surface of the sea in incredible pain .

He smiled faintly and landed gently beside Xiao Chen, exuding a quiet and peaceful air .

Xiao Chen quickly got up to thank the monk for saving his life . However, when he was halfway up, a burning pain surged through his body, and he fell back down .

“Little Benefactor, you were injured by the demonic flames of the evil scripture . There is no need to thank me . ”

Right after the gray-robed monk spoke, he tapped Xiao Chen on the head and chanted scriptures . A steady stream of white Buddhist light appeared from his hand and flowed into Xiao Chen’s body .

Warmth immediately filled Xiao Chen’s entire body . His skin even felt somewhat itchy . Not only had the burns healed, but the internal injuries that he suffered earlier had also recovered .

This was truly miraculous .

“Venerable, many thanks for saving my life . I am unable to repay this . ”

The gray-robed monk smiled and said, “Saving a person’s life is better than building a seven-story pagoda . This is a great beneficence for my cultivation . ”

The cultivation of the Buddhist sect was about beneficence, aspirations, and incense .

Beneficence was essentially doing good deeds . Of course, it was not just that simple . As one’s beneficence increased, one’s doctrines grew deeper; it was an extremely profound process .

As for aspirations, the Kunlun Realm’s Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva had announced a great aspiration and kept working hard until he attained it, which allowed him to undergo a transformation .

Incense referred to nurturing believers, making others feel the might and extraordinariness of Buddhas . Simply put, it was absorbing the power of faith to increase the power of one’s will .

Xiao Chen was fortunate in running into an esteemed monk that mainly cultivated beneficence . If it had been a monk that cultivated a different aspect, the monk might not have been this kind .

“Little Benefactor, there is no need to mind this too much . Furthermore, I feel that Benefactor has a profound fate with Buddhism and possesses good luck . ”

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat . The other party had to be referring to the Buddha-like heart that he tempered as a result of practicing the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique .

“Truth be told, I obtained some Buddhist sect Martial Techniques while wandering the world and am not truly a person who cultivates Buddhism . ”

The gray-robed monk was enlightened . “So, that is the case . However, for you to cultivate them to such a consummate level is enough to prove your fate with Buddhism . Are you interested in coming with me to the Potala Mountain’s Profound Light Temple?”

He is trying to take in a disciple .

Xiao Chen thought about it quickly and understood the gray-robed monk’s thoughts .

However, it was clearly impossible for Xiao Chen to be a monk . He quickly rejected the other party’s kind intentions and took out his recommendation letter .

He explained that he was heading to the Black Cave Mountain and already had arrangements .

“How unfortunate! You have a lot of potential . If you join my Buddhist sect, you will be well treated and receive many benefits . Actually, you can be a lay disciple . That way, there would be fewer things that you have to abstain from . In the future, you can leave the seat and marry . ” The gray-robed monk did not give up, continuing his persuasion of Xiao Chen .

[TL Note: A lay disciple is pretty much a disciple of a temple without becoming a monk or only temporarily being a monk . Such people could be at the temple to learn more about Buddhism without having to fully commit their entire life . Another example would be people who only want to learn kungfu at the Shaolin Temple without being a monk . Of course, there would still be Buddhism studies as well . ]

“Hey, bald monk— No, wait . That’s not right; it’s Venerable . Venerable, this little one is injured as well . Can you show me some care as well?”

Lying on the sea, the Iron Hand Yama smiled and did his best to look friendly, trying to gain some trust .

However, the Iron Hand Yama’s face was naturally ferocious, and that was before he tried to smile .

The gray-robed monk turned and smiled . “I am Xuan Bei . Benefactor is not of the Buddhist sect, so you can directly address me by my dharmic name . ”

After saying that, the gray-robed monk softly chanted some scriptures . Then, as he gently raised his hand, warm Buddhist light came from the clouds and landed on the Iron Hand Yama’s body .

All of the Iron Hand Yama’s injuries immediately recovered, healing at a visible rate .

“Hehe! Venerable’s accomplishments in the Saving Scripture are really high . I’m sincerely in awe and filled with respect . ” The Iron Hand Yama stretched his body . He felt wonderful and was not stingy with his praise .

Xuan Bei showed a benevolent expression as he said softly, “Benefactor’s inner heart is full of hate and grudges . You already formed a mental block . In the future, it will be hard for your cultivation to improve further without entering into Berserking Qi Deviation . ”

When the Iron Hand Yama heard this, his face sank, and his eyes turned unfocused . He was somewhat surprised that this monk had such startling discernment .

How could the Iron Hand Yama not know about this? Every day, when he closed his eyes, he saw the Savage Blood Pirate Group’s crew dying miserable deaths . He had long formed a mental block, going along thoughtlessly; actually, he was already as good as a walking corpse .

“Venerable Xuan Bei, do you have any insights?” the Iron Hand Yama asked earnestly .

Xuan Bei gently shook his head . “Without resolving the karma, it would be hard to resolve the obsession . If you are willing to let it go, you can follow me to the Profound Light Temple . Ten years should be enough to resolve the mental block in Benefactor’s heart . ”

When the Iron Hand Yama heard that, he could not help smiling . “Ten years…that’s not really very long . However, this old man is used to freedom . I would rather die as a result of Berserking Qi Deviation than go to a temple, shave my head, and be a monk . Venerable, thank you for your kind intentions . ”

The Venerable Xuan Bei smiled back wordlessly . Then, he turned and looked at Xiao Chen, asking in a neither-heavy-nor-light tone, “Little Benefactor, are you willing to tell me why the Black Lotus Church is chasing you, putting in so much effort and even sending out a Protector?”

Xiao Chen’s face sank . As the Venerable Xuan Bei spoke, his eyes stared straight at Xiao Chen .

The gray-robed monk’s eyes seemed capable of seeing through all the falsehoods in the world .

Strangely, Xiao Chen felt that if he lied, he might be dragged to the Potala Mountain’s Profound Light Temple .

“I do not know, either,” Xiao Chen answered with a bitter smile . Right after saying that, he felt the invisible pressure on him disappear .

The Venerable Xuan Bei nodded . “Benefactor, many thanks for telling the truth and resolving any misunderstandings . ”

Xiao Chen indeed did not know . This was the most honest answer he had . If he used any other excuse, he would probably really be in big trouble .

“There is still a distance to the Black Cave Mountain . How about this old monk accompany you there?”

Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart . “This would be good . Sorry for troubling the Venerable Xuan Bei . ”

Nobody knew whether the Black Lotus Church’s people would appear again . The Venerable escorting them to guarantee their safety would naturally be for the best .

---

Four hours later, the scene at the site where Xiao Chen met the Venerable Xuan Bei suddenly changed . All the people of the Black Lotus Church guarding the other paths assembled here .

“Holy Son, he was rescued by an esteemed monk of the Potala Mountain here . Right now, he should be entering one of the blessed lands . ”

The previously injured Protector explained to the spotless, snow-white-clad Holy Son Ming Xuan .

The Holy Son Ming Xuan entered deep thought . “It looks like he already had a plan . Knowing that we cannot enter the blessed lands, he intends to hide there for a period . ”

However, this group of people did not know how long Xiao Chen would hide . One year? Perhaps, ten years?

At this thought, the people of the Black Lotus Church felt dismayed . Clearly, the deadline that the Sect Venerate gave them would not be long .

“This is a good idea . However, if you think that I cannot capture you if you hide in a blessed land, that will be a huge mistake,” the Holy Son Ming Xuan said softly without an expression .

Puzzled, the four Protectors asked, “Holy Son, what is your wise opinion?”

“I have my means . Return to the holy mountain first and explain the situation to the Sect Venerate . ” The Holy Son Ming Xuan was not willing to say more . However, he appeared confident, not like he was put in a spot at all .
