CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 202: CROSS-DRESSING?

The peak of Lingshan.

The Wealth Merit Buddha sat on a lotus platform and entered one of the compartments, looking at the Spirit Mountain Master, the True Buddha, who was meditating.

"The offspring of Lingbao Mountain have been sent to rebirth by Lu Jin’an." The Wealth Merit Buddha performed a bow and slowly began, "I tried to contact... this group of offspring has indeed left the mortal world.

The Rule Power mastered by Lu Jin’an appears to be more than just ’death’."

"A group of offspring, if they die, so be it."

"However..." The Wealth Merit Buddha took a deep breath, "The offspring of the Radiant Domain only know of Lingshan and not the outside world. If this matter is disclosed by the Wandao Sect, it won’t be beneficial for the Buddhist Sect."

The path to becoming Immortal varies greatly, and among them, naturally, there are some who achieve immortality through incense, where incense represents Will Power. Therefore, some Immortals enclose a piece of land, making them the pillar that provides Will Power.

This is not a secret, and no one opposes it.

But a method like Lingshan’s ’releasing a batch of fish, then catching them again, and then releasing them again, in this manner generating merit’ is unprecedented.

If this method is leaked out, it bears resemblance to the Demon Cultivator’s ’Ten Thousand Soul Banner’, which would draw criticism.

The True Buddha calmly said, "This group of offspring has never laid down the ’slaughter knife’, so how can they talk of rebirth?

They must endure the suffering of seven lifetimes in the mortal world before they can achieve rebirth."

Listening to the voice of the True Buddha, the Wealth Merit Buddha was suddenly enlightened, immediately clasped his hands in a bow and said, "Buddha’s mercy in one thought, all things are good."

Pausing for a moment, the Wealth Merit Buddha placed the Zen Stick beside him, his gaze becoming a bit stern, "This group of offspring only knows Lingshan, not the Wandao Sect; they attack the Wandao Sect’s fleet and even want to kill Lu Jin’an...

Someone has interfered in the affairs of Lingshan; this matter cannot be taken lightly."

As he spoke, a trace of gloom flashed through the eyes of the Wealth Merit Buddha, putting aside the sudden ’awakening’ of this group of offspring, more importantly, the Little Dog Demon taken by the Wandao Sect is a newborn life.

How did the group of offspring from Lingbao Mountain manage to hide the birth of new life from Lingshan?

And what did they rely on to conceal it from Lingshan’s investigation?

To be able to raise a Dog Demon to the Transformation stage... who has such great ability to escape the Buddha’s gaze?

The True Buddha opened his eyes, "I have reported this matter to Sumeru Mountain, and the Great Infinite Buddha will decide. You just need to take good care of ’him’; there must be no mistakes with ’him’.

If the matter of Lingbao Mountain truly reaches an irreparable stage..."

The True Buddha closed his eyes again, "The struggle between the Buddhist Sect’s Zen and Taoist paths, involving Master Pei and Lu, cannot be made lightly... Buddha’s compassion, Amitabha."

The Wealth Merit Buddha clasped his hands with peace of mind, "Amitabha."

He exited the meditation room, intending to return to his cave mansion, when an Arhat approached.

This made him furrow his brows, "What happened again?"

The Arhat hurriedly saluted, "Since spring, those who have been inquiring about that group of demonic creatures’ information have appeared at Minbao Mountain."

The Wealth Merit Buddha relaxed his eyebrows and said calmly, "This time... don’t disappoint me."

"Yes!"

······

The Radiant Domain is divided into five major regions: east, west, south, north, and center. The land of one domain extends twenty thousand miles east to west, with temples everywhere.

After leaving the Lingbao Mountain area, Lu Jin’an immediately headed to the nearest demon gathering place, Minbao Mountain, trying to seek some solace in his heart.

With a cloak over his shoulders, he sped forward against the fierce wind, but his heart was much calmer.

’If the demon group from Lingbao Mountain was indeed instructed by the older sister, wouldn’t she have predicted that I would go nearby to look for evidence of their controlled movements?’

While pondering, Lu Jin’an stopped on a branch of a large tree, silently watching the demon energy lingering around Minbao Mountain in the distance.

Lu Jin’an’s fingers on the tree trunk tightened slightly, and he couldn’t help but wonder, if this was all planned by his older sister, what level might she be operating on?

Is seeking proof here truly going to yield results?

Closing his eyes, Lu Jin’an was about to perform the "Great Freedom Visualization Technique," but upon recalling that his older sister had given him this incomplete Immortal Law, he couldn’t help but stop casting the spell.

However, after just two seconds of hesitation, he began to use the Time Rule to infer potential futures again.

’The older sister should not have become an Immortal, so even if she understands the Time Rule, she can’t cover all grounds; but what qualifies her to know my schedule?’

’Has she planted spies in the Wandao Sect?’

’But even so, the place where the Lu Family is located is endlessly distant from the Wandao Sect, so how can she learn everything in the first instant and make arrangements?’

Lu Jin’an opened his eyes, resumed his pace, regardless of whether it was his older sister, regardless of whether she was on a ’higher level’, he must first verify at Minbao Mountain.

Even if he can’t find evidence being ’manipulated’ by his older sister, sending these demons, who are used as merit tokens back and forth, into rebirth would count as performing good deeds and accumulating merit.

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Lu Jin’an approached Minbao Mountain silently.

He didn’t know what spell his master had cast on him, but with his own abilities combined with his master’s spell, he shouldn’t worry about being discovered.

Moreover, the Minbao Mountain area, like Lingbao Mountain, doesn’t have Buddhism’s achieved Buddhas residing permanently, so there’s even less to worry about.

Rumble...

The closer he got to Minbao Mountain, the deafening rumbling echoed in Lu Jin’an’s ears, he immediately stopped and looked up, as the group of demons enclosed within Minbao Mountain surged like a torrent in one direction.

"Kill that guy!"

"Over there, chase quickly!"

The leading few demons who transformed into human shapes were issuing orders, their voices filled with unhidden murderous intent.

Meanwhile, Lu Jin’an noticed the Arhats hiding around, rapidly pursuing under the cover of night.
