Chapter 1187: Chapter 724: Sharing the Worries of the True God? _2

“Disciple pays respects to the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva.”

The young man slightly nodded, raising a solitary palm to his chest.

The Pure World Venerable slightly nodded in return; this junior from the sect might be stepping into Southern Sumeru for the first time, but his name had already spread throughout the Bodhi Sect: “What’s the purpose of your return, does it relate to the True Scripture?”

“Forgive this disciple’s failure, the True Scripture is lost.”

Shen Yi raised his head again. Although it was his first time coming to Southern Sumeru, he had already inquired countless times about related details from Master Zhi Kong on the way, which was why he appeared so composed now.

“Then why have you returned?” Hearing this, the Golden Toad Bodhisattva suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed softly, interjecting with a question.

No matter how great a reputation, it ultimately falls short; what difference is there with that of the White Elephant and Evil Lion.

“…”

Shen Yi looked at the Pure World Bodhisattva, then took out a yellow cloth bundle, carefully unfolding it to reveal a damaged figurine: “This disciple was to escort the Bodhisattva back to the sect.”

Even though he had just heard this news,

witnessing the moment of this broken Bodhisattva Fruit Position with his own eyes, the Golden Toad’s eyelids couldn’t help twitching a few times.

The Bodhi Sect hadn’t had a Bodhisattva fall for many years.

The Pure World Venerable was silent for a moment, taking this broken Fruit Position with those beautiful clean hands, gently stroking it with his fingers, not showing anger but rather deepening in his gaze, earnestly looking at the young man before him, as if wanting to see through his whole being: “What happened, explain in detail.”

Shen Yi met his gaze without guilt: “The disciple tangled with the Taixu Pill Emperor, but did not expect the Three Immortals Sect to deceive, setting up this situation, and ambushed the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva who came to fetch me.”

“The identities of the assailants.” The Pure World Venerable asked succinctly.

“Unknown.”

“Any evidence?”

“None.”

Shen Yi shook his head: “After escaping, this disciple followed the Bodhisattva’s guidance, heading into the Divine Dynasty, but upon arrival, only found this Fruit Position left, not even the bodily remains.”

In the back-and-forth questioning, his responses were full of flaws, not at all as if they were meticulously prepared.

Yet even the Golden Toad Bodhisattva, who was usually at odds with Shen Yi, didn’t bother to pick fault with this matter at the moment.

Bodhisattvas and the Daluo Immortal Venerables contending in magic, it was simply not something a mere Great Arhat could participate in, no matter how outstanding one appeared in the same realm, but in such a situation, it was no different than an ant.

Not seeing the details and having no evidence is normal.

Truly having evidence would be unusual.

“Hmm.”

The Pure World Bodhisattva exhaled softly, putting away the Bodhisattva Fruit Position without affirming or denying, making no comment on Shen Yi’s account.

He turned his body slightly, said casually: “Understood.”

The Three Immortals Sect had no reason to act against the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, after all, in everyone’s eyes, this was still just a play, and since it was a play, naturally it should not involve outsiders.

But just as thought before, the distinction between the play and reality seemed to have blurred.

“Is it your first time returning to the sect?”

Finally, finding an opportunity, the Golden Toad, who had been ignored consecutively, spoke again.

He had tidied his sleeves several times quietly, but the Great Ming King before him seemed not to notice his striking crimson kasaya.

From start to finish, he only saluted the Pure World Venerable.

“Hmm.” Shen Yi glanced over.

“Then it makes sense.” The Golden Toad Bodhisattva restrained a light smile: “After all, newly joined the sect, understandable, but since returning to Southern Sumeru, the most basic rules and etiquette still need to be learned.”

Seeing this young man quietly watching him, as if unable to understand, he slightly frowned: “Though you are called the Great Ming King, in reality, you are just an Arhat. Why not salute me?”

“…”

Shen Yi slightly pursed his lips.

In the next moment, dense Buddha Light surged from his clothes, lotus petals moved with him, and a six-armed phantom spread open behind him like a halo.

After completing this gesture.

Shen Yi no longer paid attention to this person, turning back to look at the Pure World Venerable.

“You…”

With the appearance of this Dharma Aspect, the smile on the Golden Toad’s face slowly faded, feeling as though the kasaya on himself seemed lackluster in the reflection of the Buddha Light.

This youth, unexpectedly, had also become a Bodhisattva!

Thinking again of the noisy rumors within Southern Sumeru, his eyes suddenly filled with anger.

He thought that after stepping into the Third Grade, he could overbear these rumors, little did he know the other party remained an annoyance, closely following like maggots clinging to bones.

Unfortunately, no further chance was given for the Golden Toad to speak.

The Pure World Bodhisattva slowly turned around, glancing up and down.

With his vision, he could easily discern the lineage of this Bodhisattva Fruit Position. Naturally, not only was it also derived from the Spiritual Power Protection Scripture, but it followed the same path as the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva.

To achieve such an effect, undoubtedly, is not an overnight accomplishment.

It requires the transmission of the Order Origin, years of hands-on teaching, and wholehearted nurturing of a successor.

Only at this moment did Shen Yi’s previous words gain some credibility.

Only such a successor could be worth the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva taking risks.

“How did you receive the Fruit Position?”

“Left by the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva to this disciple.”

A simple reply, with little fluctuation in tone, Shen Yi looked at the broken object in the other’s hand, slowly developing a trace of grief and killing intent in his eyes.

At this moment, the restraint on him slowly faded, finally bearing some of the aura of the Great Ming King!

With the ability to slay eight peers outside the North Flow River, how could he be a humble and gentle person.

Silence is borne of forbearance, and forbearance is for vengeance.

The Bodhi Sect preaches compassion, but in the face of great tribulation, it also needs a trace of ferocity to suppress all directions!

“What do you intend to do with the things he left you?” The Pure World Bodhisattva suddenly relented.

“What I promised the Bodhisattva at the time.”

“What did you promise him?” The Pure World Bodhisattva showed some interest.

“To enter the world, undergo tribulation, and transmit the scripture to the Human World.”

Shen Yi raised his eyes slightly, seemingly reminiscing, a richer killing intent infused into his voice: “I alone am enough.”

He did not mention revenge, for in fulfilling this tribulation, those enemies were already targets to be suppressed.

A simple sentence made the Pure World Bodhisattva slightly raise an eyebrow.

The Golden Toad’s face twisted slightly.

“You alone are enough?”

What did that make of my standing?

He suddenly turned around, also saluting the Pure World Bodhisattva: “Disciple is willing to go down the mountain to find that True God.”

“…”

Yet, as if not hearing, the Pure World Bodhisattva’s gaze remained fixed on Shen Yi.

He could tell this promise was indeed made true by the other.

After a lengthy silence, this White Robed Venerable slightly nodded: “In that case, don’t waste what he left you, go to the Eight Extremes Valley, there will be other Bodhisattvas instructing you on what to do.”

“Disciple obeys.”

Shen Yi closed his eyes, taking several breaths to calm his nerves, and upon reopening, returned to the quiet demeanor of before.

He turned around, quickly stepping down the corridor, leaving the great hall.

On Buddha Mountain, where a crowd of novice monks had long gathered upon hearing the news, they all saw the six-armed Dharma Aspect on the young man, remaining silent until he transformed into a stream of light and departed Southern Sumeru Mountain.

The murmurs suddenly erupted.

“The Great Ming King has actually become a Bodhisattva!”

“The Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva!”

“…”

Inside the hall, these murmurs poured into the Golden Toad’s ears like thunder.

Causing his features to twist slightly.

Even the hand saluting was slightly trembling.

“You may go to the Chicken Crowing Cliff.”

Only then did the Pure World Venerable casually glance at him.

Setting aside strength, simply speaking of character and aspirations, sometimes when compared, one sees the gap like a chasm.

“Before descending the mountain, first remove that kasaya, it’s too conspicuous, inconvenient to act.”

No matter how beautiful a kasaya, it requires the Buddha Light to complement it, otherwise it is but a flamboyant common worthy object.

“Disciple… obeys!”

The Golden Toad Bodhisattva’s hand trembled, clutching this kasaya, paired with the Pure World Venerable’s reminder, felt inexplicably glaring, abruptly tearing it off.

Indeed! Indeed!

If not going down the mountain, how would the world know of my future True Buddha appearance!
