567 Endless Beginning and End (1/2)

Within the dark and quiet meditation chamber, it was spacious and tranquil. In the huge space there was only one person, lying on his side, chanting Buddhist scriptures without sincerity while drinking wine and eating meat.

In front of him were all kinds of delicacies, as well as fragrant wine.

What was weird was that when the wine and meat was in his mouth it didn't affect his speaking. His tempo had its own rhythm, and his voice was like a broken Gong, but when one heard it, it was really pleasing to the ear.

Occasionally he would knock on a wooden fish, really casual and carefree.

If Jingyin was here she would recognize that this person was that old monk who spoke to her, that extremely kind person.

Suddenly a Yin wind swept up. When Linghai reacted, a person had appeared in front of him. It was another monk, square-faced with large ears, similar to the look in books used to describe people with good fortune. However, he was frowning deeply.

Linghai was startled, hurriedly waving his sleeves and stowing all the meat and wine. When he cleared everything out he heaved a sigh of relief.

\”So it was you, you really scared me to death!\”

His eyelids opened wide, \”Isn't it the rule of the World Protector Venerables not to appear in front of people? Why is Buddha He so free to appear here today?\”

He was at the Luohan stage while the person in front of him had formed the Buddha fruit, which was the so-called Saint realm!

However his words didn't have much respect. He had mostly given up hope on proceeding further, just wanting a long lifespan. In his eyes it wasn't much to be respectful about.

The person opposite him didn't make a fuss about it, his palms placed together, keeping silent and not making a sound.

\”Why are you so down everytime we meet? There is no need to be like this...\”

Linghai's brows rose up, and he thought about it carefully. \”Buddha, you came regarding that endless darkness and unlimited light?\”

The eyes of the monk lit up and he nodded. Linghai asked once more, \”You are unable to reveal a single word about this to others because you are the World Protector? Speaking of which, who is the Endless Beginning and End Buddha, the other few ancestors are speaking about?\”

The monk nodded his head, his pupils filled with anticipation.

At this moment Linghai smiled, understanding the situation, \”Does this person have to do with the Common People Path?\”

The monk nodded, indescribable joy appearing on his face. He was delighted deep down, thinking that this junior who was in charge of Jingtu Sect was really intelligent.

Only to hear Linghai continue, \”And this person is currently in Gantian Mountain?\”

This time the monk hesitated slightly. However, he still nodded, thinking to himself that the person should have already returned to Gantian Mountain. That place was his country capital, where his foundations were at...

Seeing the situation, Linghai burst out into a laugh, only when the monk looked like like he didn't understand what was going on did he stop.

\”Actually my lady disciple has already found the person. Is it Seven Spirit Sect Zhao Yanran?\”

This time the monk was startled. Zhao Yanran? Who was that? Shouldn't it be Gantian Monster king Zong Shou, Common People Path Tanqiu?

\”Roughly a month ago my junior niece personally saw this woman displaying skills regarding unlimited light and endless darkness, it shouldn't be wrong!\”

Linghai smiled happily. \”Originally I wasn't sure! To gather this dharma one needed dual meridian bodies. That Gantian Monster king Zong Shou was more probable. However, I checked, and a few months ago the heaven phenomenon began at Common People Path palace. Three months ago Zhao Yanran also caused one at that place. Today, thanks to senior's reminder, I managed to confirm. This woman is really fated to be able to open such a path...\”

The monk was stunned, wanting to speak up, but he couldn't speak.

He didn't mind dying in exchange for a chance for the Buddhist Sect. Only the Heart Demon Oath he made ten thousand years ago was too heavy, and there was no weaknesses to it.

The moment he opened his mouth, he would probably die.

His frown got even worse, brows furrowed tightly. However, he was always like that; even when he was happy, he couldn't smile.

Linghai didn't seem to notice anything, his expression was like he had everything under control.

He speechlessly looked over. He thought that this fellow was smart, but now he just thought that he was extremely stupid.

He really wanted to smash him awake with a stick.

He felt frustrated. Unable to open his mouth and unable to use any hints, so how was he supposed to remind him?

If they had this Endless Beginning and End Buddha joining them, all Buddhas working together to open up a new extremely pure world, why would he need to depend on this Cloud World to live?

His life was truly tough...

----------------

About when the monk was thinking about the Endless Beginning and End Buddha, in the night sky a bright light arrived above Gantian Mountain. Atop that shining spiritual light long sword stood a white robed teen, Zong Shou.

Looking carefully below, he saw a camp forty miles outside of the city.

There were only ten thousand large tents, probably around twenty thousand people. They were the elite troops he brought over to Mysterious Cloud Mountain.

During this battle there were thousands of casualties, but the rest returned safely. A large portion of them were sent to other parts of Donglin to conquer other areas.

The Black Fox Cavalry wasn't within.

The current Gantian Mountain had decorations hanging all over, red banners here and there, a joyous atmosphere.

Zong Shou's brows rose up, and he knew that Hu Zhongyuan and the others were waiting for him to return before they came back.

Gantian Mountain's victory on Mysterious Cloud Mountain was indeed worthy of a huge celebration, and it could also calm down the hearts of the people.
