Chapter 251: Into The Scripture Library, Chief Of The Dhamma Institute Sha Xin, Go Drag Him Out
“This kid’s depth of knowledge in Buddhism is truly astounding!”
“I’m nowhere close to that level.”
“If he was born into a Buddhist institution, there’s no doubt he would be a Buddhist Master!”
The Thunder Temple’s Sages discussed Chu Kuangren in whispers. It was evident that they were deeply affected by Chu Kuangren’s words of wisdom.
After many years of acquiring insights into Buddhism, their proficiency in Buddhist knowledge was unquestionable. Yet Chu Kuangren’s mere few words were enough to declutter their minds and allow them to see a clearer picture of Buddhism.
Chu Kuangren’s Buddhist attainment had far surpassed that of the Sages.
…
After the exchange, Master Hui Xin had opened the scripture library for Chu Kuangren to visit.
Upon entering the library, Chu Kuangren did not hesitate to begin reading on the various Buddhist Techniques while completely ignoring the works of Buddhist literature.
The young monk who guided him could not help but frown at such sight.
After all, Buddhist Techniques were a unique class of martial arts. If one lacked an understanding of Buddhist literature, it would be difficult to make any progress.
To skip past the works of literature and jump straight into reading on Buddhist Technique was considered a huge taboo in the Thunder Temple.
“Brother Chu…”
Just when the young monk was about to admonish Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren’s body immediately glowed with a faint layer of Buddhist Lights while the center of his palm radiated a burst of golden color.
“Is this the Golden Prajna Palm of the Thunder Temple?!”
“Hiss…”
The young monk gasped.
He had never foreseen that Chu Kuangren would master this technique in such a short amount of time. What sorcery was that?!
“Master, you were saying?”
Chu Kuangren looked at the young monk curiously.
The young monk immediately swallowed his initial admonishment and said, “Nothing much, I was just about to remind you that you’re welcome to read all the scriptures in this library. I shall make my move.”
“Thank you, Master.”
The young monk bowed politely and left.
However, he shook his head in secret.
Chu Kuangren’s understanding of Buddhism was so sophisticated that it even put the Abbot to shame. There was no need for him to refer to any literature.
Upon the young monk’s departure, Chu Kuangren began to read up on the various techniques. With the help of his Meditational Clarity trait, he picked up these techniques at a ridiculous pace.
“Golden Prajna Palm…”
“Phaseless Finger of Death…”
“Solar Conjuration Sword…”
One by one, Chu Kuangren began to absorb the Buddhist Techniques.
The mysterious Daoist Rhymes and dignified Buddhist Light that flowed around his body had bestowed a holy aura upon him.
At the same time, his Transcendent Coalescence Daoist Physique was also inching towards completion as it absorbed the Daoist Rhymes from all the Buddhist Techniques.
…
In the Dhamma Institute of Thunder Temple.
The Dhamma Institute was where the monk warriors of the Thunder Temple gathered. The monk warriors were monks that were most well-versed in combat. Aside from the Thunder Temple’s Sages, the head of this institute was one of the strongest cultivators in the temple.
In a grand hall, an old monk dressed in grey robes stood before a crowd. None of the monks dared make any noises in the presence of this old monk.
The old monk was the current head of the Dhamma Institute, Master Sha Xin!
“You were saying that the scripture library is now opened unconditionally for an outsider to visit, and this decision was made by the Abbot?”
Sha Xin simply said.
“Yes,” a monk warrior replied softly from aside.
“Hmph, what is Hui Xin thinking? The scripture library is the source of all knowledge in Thunder Temple. How could he simply allow an outsider in?”
Sha Xin grumbled. He had no respect at all for the abbot.
Another monk warrior then told Master Sha Xin the incident starting from the beginning.
“Chu Kuangren? Buddhism?!”
“Chu Kuangren actually knows Buddhism? Even then, to open the scripture library to an outsider is simply preposterous.”
Sha Xin immediately got up and walked to the exit once he finished cursing.
“Chief, what are you doing?”
“I’m going to drag that Chu Kuangren out the library.”
The monk warriors were shocked to hear that.
“That’s not advisable, Chief.”
“Chu Kuangren is the Black Heaven Sect Leader and the distinguished guest of the Thunder Temple. It would be too disrespectful if you were to drag him out of the library.”
The crowd immediately went to stop Sha Xin.
“Step back!”
Unfortunately, they were instantly greeted by the hostile stare of their Chief as a terrifying murderous qi erupted from Master Sha Xin. The monk warriors could not do much but watch helplessly as Sha Xin marched towards the scripture library.
“Quick, inform the Abbot.”
One of the monk warriors said hastily.
At that moment, Sha Xin had already arrived at the scripture library. Like a God of War, he was fuming with a violent stream of murderous qi.
Outside the library, Lan Yu frowned at the sight of Sha Xin.
Lan Yu did not expect Sha Xin’s arrival while she was patiently waiting for Chu Kuangren. Moreover, Sha Xin did not seem to come with good intent at all.
It was Lan Yu’s first time witnessing a monk fuming with a murderous qi.
“Is Chu Kuangren in there?”
Sha Xin said with his voice as cold as a stone.
“That’s right.”
“Get him out of there.”
“My Master will leave whenever he wishes to. But until then, no one shall enter the library.”
Lan Yu said calmly as she equipped a layer of silver armor on herself.
She realized that the visitor before her was definitely hostile towards Chu Kuangren.
That was all the reason she needed to enter into combat mode.
“Oh, you’re the renowned Young Emperor, Lan Yu — the loyal follower of Chu Kuangren. Looks like if I want to get him out of there, I’ll need to pass through you first.” At that, a layer of Buddhist Light surged out of Sha Xin.
The Buddhist Light was majestic and dignified. Yet when combined with Sha Xin’s murderous qi, it created a rather contradicting impression.
However, it was undeniable that Sha Xin was a remarkable cultivator. At the very least, Lan Yu could feel the pressure piling up on her.
Lan Yu proceeded to retrieve the Scepter of Light as she readied herself for battle.
Just when both sides had drawn their weapons, a ray of Buddhist Light gushed upwards and manifested into a garden of golden Buddhist Lotuses in the sky, radiating a merciful glow of Daoist Rhymes.
Sha Xin was immediately stunned at such sight. “Such Daoist Rhymes, it’s the Thunder Temple’s Sage Technique — the Golden Lotuses Slayer of Evil!”
Then, a burst of Daoist Rhymes spread outwards from the Buddhist Light, transforming into a fearsome Buddhist deity that wielded a vajra.
At the same time, another distinct wave of Daoist Rhymes echoed Brahmic chimes into the surroundings and left a soothing sensation in everyone who heard it. Even Sha Xin’s murderous qi was unknowingly reduced before the Brahmic chimes.
“Sage Technique, Might of Yamantaka!”
“Sage Technique, Restful Mantra!”
Sha Xin looked dumbfoundedly towards the scripture library.
Countless variations of Daoist Rhymes were manifesting in the library. Not only was it from the most renowned Thunder Temple’s Sage Techniques but from countless other Buddhist Techniques as well!
The Daoist Conjurations that filled the sky immediately left Sha Xin utterly speechless.
“That’s not possible, what’s going on?!”
Sha Xin was in disbelief.
“This is probably Brother Chu’s doing.” At that moment, the Thunder Temple’s Abbot, Hui Xin appeared behind Sha Xin.
Sha Xin turned around and said, “Impossible. He’s just entered not too long ago, how could he have released such variations of Daoist Rhymes?”
“There’s nothing impossible about that.” Sha Xin shook his head. “It’s widely known that Brother Chu has previously mastered more than eight thousand techniques in the Dharma Sect. It’s no surprise that he’s also capable of learning the Sage Techniques of our scripture library.”
“But… but this is too fast!”
Sha Xin confessed in a troubled tone. Judging by Chu Kuangren’s Daoist Rhymes, Sha Xin knew he could never achieve the same feat even if he devoted half his life to studying these techniques!
