Chapter 14: The World's Situation. |
The Great Hall had a gloomy atmosphere.
The Demon Sect Martial Artists were in a panic.
They didn’t expect that there would be a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster attacking them.
“Doesn’t that mean that the Shaolin Temple has a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster?” The Elder asked with bitterness.
He made a ruthless remark to destroy the Shaolin Temple just moments ago, but now, he does not dare mention it again.
The Shaolin Temple having a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster and the Shaolin Temple having no Grade 1 Great Grandmaster are completely two different concepts.
“Sect Master, are you okay?” The plump woman looked towards the Purple Robed Man and asked.
“It's nothing.”
The Purple Robed Man calmed down, “Indeed, a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster is strong, but killing me with just one finger from several hundred li apart is absolutely impossible.”
He is a Peak Grade 2 Martial Artist. Though he is injured right now and he needs the Shaolin Temple’s [Yi Jin Jing] to heal his injuries, even with his injury, the Purple Robed Man was not weaker than the ordinary Grade 2 Martial Artist.
“Since the Shaolin Temple has a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster and the Demon Sect has already been warned, plans have to be changed.” The Purple Robed Man said.
When the other Demon Sect Martial Artists heard this, they relaxed.
Fifty years ago, the Sect Master failed to break through to the Legend Realm and died. And in the last fifty years, the Demon Sect lost their position and their power shrank sharply.
Fortunately, this generation's Demon Sect Sect Master was powerful enough, otherwise the Demon Sect would've already been beaten and stomped on by others.
But even so, no one is willing to face a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.
“What will the Sect Master do?” The plump woman asked.
“Since the Shaolin Temple is a no go, then let's go to Great Yang Mountain.” The Purple Robed Man thought for a while, before saying.
“Great Yang Mountain?”
The Demon Sect Martial Artists looked at each other.
Compared to a Great Sect that has inherited thousands of years of foundation like the Shaolin Temple, Great Yang Mountain was much shallower. This generation of Great Yang Mountain is weak and does not have a Grade 1.
“I'll heal my wounds with the blood sacrifice of the thousands of Great Yang Mountain dísciples!”
A trace of violence flashed in the eyes of the Purple Robed Man when he spoke out these words.
…
At the Shaolin Temple.
Su Qin naturally did not know anything that had occured due to his casual actions, and that the Great Yang Mountain's lineage was about to be destroyed.
At this moment, Su Qin has returned to the Handyman Court.
When the intangible power he put in the figure's body exploded, Su Qin felt it.
“[Formless Tribulation Finger]… Invisible and intangible, strike from the heart… It really deserves to be one of the Shaolin Temple's Divine Arts.”
Su Qin slightly nodded in satisfaction.
In the past ten years, Su Qin has Signed In everywhere in the Shaolin Temple. And he had obtained god knows how many Divine Arts, but something like [Formless Tribulation Finger] was rare.
From this alone, [Formless Tribulation Finger] is enough to be ranked in the top 800 among Su Qin’s many Divine Arts.
“But… I’m already Grade 1, yet why can’t I still use [Buddha’s Palm]?”
Su Qin rubbed his eyebrows, thinking helplessly.
As the strongest Divine Art of the Shaolin Temple and the first skill he obtained, Su Qin has big expectations for [Buddha’s Palm].
While he was still in the Lower Realm and Middle Realm, he simply thought that he was just too weak and did not meet the minimum standard for using [Buddha’s Palm].
But now.
Su Qin is already Grade 1.
Even if you look at the world, he is considered a top powerhouse.
And yet, the Golden Buddha in his eyebrows that represents [Buddha’s Palm] was still unmoving.
“Is it possible that [Buddha’s Palm] is a Divine Art that only Arhat Level Martial Artists can use?”
Su Qin guessed.
Based on what Su Qin heard in the Shaolin Temple over the past ten years, even 900 years ago when [Buddha’s Palm] was not yet lost, almost no dísciple could understand it…
“Ah, forget it.”
Su Qin shook his head, and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts.
In the next half a month, Su Qin resumed his previous life again, doing nothing but sweeping and Signing In.
After entering Grade 1, the progress of Su Qin’s cultivation has slowed down significantly. But with the massive materials and Earthly treasures he's obtaining from the Signing In, he was gradually moving his way towards Arhat Buddhahood.
On this day, when Su Qin was about to go to the Bodhi Court and Sign In, he heard the other dísciples whispering.
“I heard that the Demon Sect created a bloodbath in the Great Yang Mountain, is it true?”
“Aiii, the world is really not peaceful. There's constant friction between nations and all sorts of disputes are happening in the world.”
“Hey, according to rumors, there's a rare Genius that only appears once in a hundred years in Wudang True Martial Lineage. He managed to walk the path of Tai Chi in just three hours. Daoist Zhang even personally came forward and accepted the Genius as a Direct Disciple.”
“That’s amazing, Daoist Zhang is one of the best Grade 1 Great Grandmasters in the world. Almost all of his Direct Disciples have entered the Upper Realm.”
The Handyman Court dísciples were very enthusiastic about their discussion.
This was one of the few perks of being a Handyman Dísciple.
Unlike other Courts, the Handyman Court does not require martial arts, so in their spare time, dísciples would chat and discuss the situation of the world.
“It is also said that the descendant of Xiao Li Flying Dagger has been born.”
“What? Xiao Li Flying Dagger? Are you referring to ‘the' Xiao Li Flying Dagger?”
“Yes, the descendant used flying daggers and killed a martial artist of the Upper Realm, and caused a big disturbance.“
“Not only Xiao Li Flying Dagger, but there's also the Vajra Temple, another important place of Buddhism that is as famous as our Shaolin Temple, there is a Buddha…"
…
…
Su Qin listened with keen interest.
Nowadays, chaos was endless. Everyday Martial Artists fall (die), and even Sects get extinguished (destroyed)…
Since the Shaolin Temple has inherited thousands of years of foundation and is a Great Sect, at the very least, he won’t be disturbed anytime soon.
Su Qin felt more and more that his choice of staying here was correct.
To just obediently and honestly Sign In at the Shaolin Temple, waiting until he is invincible in the world before going out.
It was perfect.
“It’s still too dangerous outside.”
Su Qin slowly continued moving towards the Bodhi Court.
Whether it is the genius of Wudang True Martial Lineage who has gone through Tai Chi, the descendant of Xiao Li Flying Dagger, or the Buddha of Vajra Temple, they were all like Heaven’s Chosen Child.
They were either cultivated by a Sect, or have the backing of their ancestors. In contrast, Su Qin was just a Shaolin Temple Sweeper.
He has neither someone giving him resources or an ancestor.
“In Martial Dao Cultivation, external resources are very important. Even if one’s talent is unparalleled, if there is a lack of resources, his future achievements will be very limited.”
“Although I, Su Qin, am alone and have no one supporting me, I still managed to step into Grade 1 with my own efforts, and I’m not weaker than others!”
Su Qin arrived at the Bodhi Court.
“System, Sign In!”
