Chapter 688 - Vulture Peak (2/2)

Kasyapa sat in the palace at Vulture Peak. Below him were the Buddhas, Arhat, and Boddhisattva. He was not wearing the kasaya but was wearing a ragged robe. It made him more distinguished and good-looking.

The long period of staying in Vulture Peak did not affect him.

A monk said, ”The Venerable Kasyapa when I entered into a state of spiritual calmness, I saw a sword killing the monks in Vulture Peak. Would you know the origins of the sword?”

He was not ordinary. Hence, what he saw in his dreams may not be fabricated.

Kasyapa queried, ”Jianglong the Venerable, was there any distinction in the sword?”

”It was fierce and better than the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal,” Jianglong the Venerable responded. He had the strongest mana among the Arhat. He was even better than some Boddhisattva and ancient Buddha.

Kasyapa answered, ”This must be the Congenital Killing Sword.”

”Tongtian Order Master had the Celestial Extermination, Celestial Trapping, Celestial Exhaustion and Celestial Slaughter Sword. I had seen all but this Congenital Killing Sword was not one of it,” explained Jianglong the Venerable.

Kasyapa continued, ”Besides that four swords, there are Yuantu and Avici Congenital Killing Sword. You must have seen one of these.”

Jianglong the Venerable asked, ”What were the origins of Yuantu and Avici?”

Kasyapa replied, ”These belonged to the Master of the Netherworld and were comparable to the Quadruple Extermination of Celestial sword. They had strong mana and had obtained the Dao human form. It was hard to find someone more powerful than them.

Jianglong the Venerable questioned, ”I dreamt about the Congenital killing the monks in the Vulture Peak and thus eliminating Buddhism. The Venerable Kasyapa, was there anything to be done to avoid this situation?”

Kasyapa said, ”No worries. The Winning Buddha was protecting the Buddhist sect. The Congenital Killing Sword would not destroy the Buddhist sect.”

Jianglong the Venerable looked around and could not find the Winning Buddha. Therefore, Kasyapa was deep-rooted in the Dharma. He could predict this situation much earlier than him.

Shen Lian was in a state of spiritual calmness in Biyou Palace. His mental state was vague. It seemed as though he did not have any thoughts. At the same time, it seemed that what he had seen could be born with just a thought.

The Primeval Demon did not ask anything else but his heart. Hence, the Primeval Demon could know any thought that came to his mind. However, Shen Lian did not know of his the Primeval Demon's next move.

He was just moving forward in the dark, not knowing the end. There could also be no end to this.

Nevertheless, he was not afraid and not worried that he would be lost in this vague darkness.

The scariest part of the darkness was the mysterious unknown. Hence, some of the great people would treat the mysterious unknown as void so they would not be affected. Nonetheless, this method was not solving the root cause. For example, the Practices of the Bones of Dead. If one looked at the pink as a skeleton, one still emphasized on appearance. He could not make a clean break and his gains were temporary, just like the moon in the mirror.

Those who made a clean break of appearance would see the pink as pink, the skeleton as a skeleton. There would not be favoritism or fear in their hearts.

Shen Lian had made a clean break from appearances. Although the dark, mysterious unknown put him into Nowhere, he could still stay calm and not bothered.

If he did not go through the inescapable doom, he would not able to do it even though he could understand the reason.

As he was able to do it, he allowed the Primeval Demon to spy his inner thoughts and put him in this dark unknown.
