Chapter 393 Reborn / Death (2/2)
Fang Yanying kept quiet, she knew that this monk who looked like a demon was right. Although she was the one using the sword, her uncle-master was the persons who launched the attack. On top of that, this magical sword was a living thing, which further amplified the attack.
The old monk did not continue his attack nor further condemn her. Through Fang Yanying, his clear eyes could see the faraway Shen Lian. He smiled, just like Siddhartha Gautama infected Kassapa with his smile. Shen Lian smiled too and nodded his head.
That strike was not meant to kill him but to pierce through the monk's evil though, to trigger the monk's inner side of mercy.
The route that Shen Lian had chosen was for a purpose. He already knew in advance that there was a Shengguan Temple here and there was a tyrannical ghoul or senior monk. He came here for the Buddhist sect's Water Element True Technique.
'Amrtod' was formed from the infinite power of the deceased into a 'dew' that could make people immortal. It could be considered as Buddhist sect's water element essence. To form the 'dew' would require one technique which was the Rebirth Mantra, and that was the Water Element True Technique yearned by Shen Lian.
Then, the Rebirth Mantra was chanted, the deceased souls which got the power of Rebirth Mantra seemed to be bright and clean, emitting soft glow. They gradually clustered together, it became dense and condensed, just like the soft morning mist, it instantly covered the entire void.
Force of Rebirth Mantra's flowed, the mist was enlivened and it formed a swirl in the center, the mist-shaped souls of the deceased flew towards the whirlpool. The center of the whirlpool had a black hole which led to reincarnation, it took in the souls one by one. At the same time, it was stripped of the power of rebirth, all the mist condensed to form a drop of dew which lay in the midair while revolving.
The monk said, ”Unfortunately I can't see the udumbara flowers blossom.” Upon finishing his sentence, his body burned in flames. In the end, there was nothing left, there was also nobody who knew his name. He came empty handed and left empty handed too.
Fang Yanying was a little disappointed and also a little envious but she did not know what she was envious about.
”He was trapped here for a long time and today he finally regained his freedom.” Shen Lian's distant voice was in Fang Yanying's ears. The drop of dew was revolving and dropped in front of Fang Yanying.
Fang Yanying finally knew what she was envious about. The monk was finally set free, at least he did not have to be restricted in this place.
She looked at the drop of 'dew' and spoke with hesitation, ”Uncle-master, aren't you going to keep this?” Since this was Buddhist sect's drug of immortality, it must be as precious as Daoist's spiritual elixir. Even if after consuming it one could not be immortal, the person would definitely be able to live for a very long time.
As long as one could live for a sufficiently long time, even a pig would have the chance to break away from whims. After all, it could afford to go through countless times of failures and it would find a solution to this in the end.
There were a lot of hardships in this universe, but the biggest hardship for the living creatures who had not attained immortality was dying. Fang Yanying could actually resist herself when facing this Buddhist sect's drug of immortality. It was sufficient to prove that she was qualified to be promoted to the celestial's path.
Shen Lian said casually, ”I asked you to go isn't because I want to have it. Moreover, I already got what I wanted in the first place.”
At his stage, nothing could influence his heart of Dao, even the legendary Daoist Master Taishang's Nine Transformation Golden Elixir whereby if one had eaten, he would be able to achieve the state of heavenly immortal immediately and transcend beyond the mortal world.
All he needed was the Rebirth Mantra that was the representative of Buddhist sect's Water Element True Technique.
He headed towards the north, restructured the five elements, the Rebirth Mantra was merely the first target. When the remaining four targets were completed, it would be almost time to be at Mount Zhong.
Then, boundless gold light floated in the sky and most of it fell on Fang Yanying's body.
Fang Yanying was shocked and moved because gold light was merit. It was the first time she received the power of merit.
