Chapter 1121: Chapter 588: Qilin Demon! An Old Friend Appears!

“Report to the Bodhisattva, the host has been in seclusion for decades. Recently, the Soul Lamp flickers with signs of extinguishing, causing great fear in my heart. That is why I have requested the Bodhisattva, hoping he could consider the host’s years of toil and virtue, and bring him back to Spirit Mountain for rebirth.”

The elderly monk from the monastery clasped his hands together and spoke.

Manjusri Bodhisattva in the void was silent for a moment, his gaze turned to the place of seclusion at the back mountain of Bright Temple, his voice resonating like a bell as he chanted:

“Yao Xin Arhat, show yourself!”

In the back mountain, in the place of seclusion at Bright Temple, underground in a tower dozens of fathoms deep, a gaunt, spent, and wick-drained bald monk moved his finger slightly after those words of summoning.

His long brows fluttered without wind, and his body emitted a series of snapping sounds, as life rekindled within, opening eyes as deep as the abyss, seemingly carrying a hint of sorrow.

With a light sigh, he soared from the underground to the sky, arriving at Bright Temple in an instant.

Seeing his gaunt form and tattered clothes, the Martial Monks and other monks below all bowed in salute:

“Greetings, Host!”

Yao Xin monk glanced at the monks below, his gaze devoid of sorrow or joy, raising his head to look at the incense fire Dharma Body of Manjusri Bodhisattva like a great sun in the void, he bowed in salute, clasping his hands:

“Disciple Yao Xin, pays respects to Manjusri Bodhisattva.”

“Yao Xin, you’ve ultimately failed to break through the Bodhisattva Realm.” Manjusri Bodhisattva spoke with a calm voice.

“Disciple is dull.”

Yao Xin bowed deeply.

“Yao Xin, you were originally an Arhat of Spirit Mountain, breaking through to the Arhat Realm within merely a hundred years, your foundation deep, initially thought to advance with the opportunity of preaching in the Central Plains, yet unexpectedly trapped in the Arhat Realm for life.”

Even as an incense fire Dharma Body, the nuance of Manjusri Bodhisattva’s real essence was evident, the gaze remained unchanged but the tone carried a tinge of regret, Yao Xin then had the hopes of becoming one of the Eighteen Arhats, even replacing Dragon Slayer Arhat.

Yet through outside trials, this lifetime couldn’t take the most critical step forward, an unfortunate regret, not entering the Yang God as Arhat Realm, unable to avoid the suffering of reincarnation, even rebirth lacks memory, failing to awaken, living a mundane life.

Unlike these Bodhisattvas, who, relying on Spirit Mountain incense, have a tremendously high life span, even through rebirth, there’s a significant chance of returning with memories to the real essence.

“I have disappointed the Bodhisattva, it is indeed due to my own foolishness.” Yao Xin dared not speak further.

“Since you’re spent and wick-drained, and dedicated for years to Spirit Mountain, this seat will lend you a hand to reincarnate.” Manjusri Bodhisattva continued.

“Thank you, Bodhisattva.”

“But before that, help me accomplish one thing.” Manjusri Bodhisattva’s Dharma Body pointed, instantly cloaking Yao Xin’s gaunt body with all the accumulated incense fire within Bright Temple.

Within moments, Yao Xin drew from this power, reaching his full strength once more, and his skeletal appearance greatly changed, if Chen Yuan were to meticulously observe, he would discover.

Yao Xin monk surprisingly bore a three-part resemblance to Fa Hai whom he previously slain at Gold Mountain Monastery….

“Please bestow the Dharma Decree, Bodhisattva.”

Yao Xin, now full of vitality, returned to his peak.

Golden light enveloped the two, the monks below couldn’t hear what was spoken above, but their gaze did not dare bear any doubt.

“Over two hundred years ago, this seat traversed the Central Plains, unexpectedly finding an Exotic Beast Fire Qilin in Tangshan Prefecture of Qingzhou, but this ferocious beast was born of nature, hard to tame, excessively violent, below an Immortal, none can subdue this creature.

Later, this seat, with Great Divine Power and Teleportation Array, transported a Buddhist Golden Body from beyond ten thousand miles to suppress this beast deep underground, two hundred years of suppression and erosion, the Fire Qilin now only retains a tenth of its strength, it’s time nearly ripe for subdual, take this seat’s Dharma Decree to Tangshan to tame it and bring it back to Spirit Mountain.”

Manjusri Bodhisattva raised his head, extending his hand, a golden light pillar instantly formed in the void, landing in his hand, with a golden Dharma Decree suspended in the void.

“I respectfully follow the Bodhisattva’s Dharma Decree.”

Yao Xin received the Dharma Decree with both hands, promptly agreeing.

“This seat restored your strength using Bright Temple incense, but this lasts merely a month, if not returned to Spirit Mountain when time is up, you will perish, reincarnation impossible.”

“Understood.”

“Quickly resolve all karmic ties, subdue the Fire Qilin back to Spirit Mountain, this seat awaits you there.” After speaking, Manjusri Bodhisattva’s golden light vanished inch by inch, leaving no trace.

As if never appearing.

Yao Xin, holding the Bodhisattva’s Dharma Decree, clasped his hands, slightly bowed:

“Farewell to Manjusri Bodhisattva!”

Seeing the golden light recede, the monks of Bright Temple knew the Bodhisattva’s incense fire Dharma Body returned to the Spirit Mountain Holy Land, all clasping hands together.

“Resolving karmic ties….” Yao Xin’s eyes flashed with the image of a young man in black, preserving the Dharma Decree Manjusri Bodhisattva brought via Teleportation Array from Spirit Mountain.

Step by step, he descended from the void, facing the monks of Bright Temple below, clasped one hand and said:

“I failed to break through, nearing demise, fortunately granted the Bodhisattva’s mercy, allowed to head to Spirit Mountain for rebirth, from today forward, the host position at Bright Temple will be handled by Miao Jue Arhat, continuing to spread Spirit Mountain Buddhist teachings, illuminating Qingzhou.”

The leading benevolent-looking elderly monk sighed lightly, clasped his hand, slightly nodded and said:

“Respectfully following the host’s command!”

Words from a dying host are considered law, all monks of Bright Temple must obey; moreover, aside from Yao Xin, Miao Jue the monasterial supervisor has the most profound cultivation, inheriting the host position is reasonable.

“Miao Jue, my junior, from now, Bright Temple is entrusted to you, remember to strictly adhere to Spirit Mountain teachings.”

“Yes.”

Miao Jue nodded, aware of Yao Xin’s imminent demise, recognizing that this is merely Manjusri Bodhisattva granting him a brief resurgence, he asked gravely:

“Does the host have any unfinished wishes?”

Yao Xin hesitated for a moment:

“A grudge obstructing the path must be resolved before reincarnation; have you heard any news of the Demon Sword Chen Yuan?”
