Chapter 1443: Chapter 599: Emperor Crosses the Deep Space Beyond
It went quickly and returned even faster, saying, "Mingzi, your place here isn’t suitable for living; it might be haunted."
The Old Furnace didn’t delve deeply, being sensitive to historical haunting events.
Qin Ming nodded, not feeling concerned in his heart.
The Old Furnace asked, "Xiao Qin, are you really not involved with that Chairman?"
Qin Ming said, "Senior, they are one of our own. You see, one day when Qing Yue needs help back home, and I lead the Chairman and others to help, how grand it would be; this is the family’s legacy."
He added, "If the Chairman becomes Qing Yue’s close friend, hmm, who among those petty folks would dare to act out in the future?"
The Old Furnace said, "Why do I feel like you’re brainwashing me?"
Qin Ming stood at the village entrance, waiting for guests from afar, watching eagerly, yet not seeing a shadow. He was sure there wouldn’t be any turmoil.
No one gave him a chance to make a move. Before leaving, he felt uneasy not having taken down any hostile Grandmasters.
He sat under the Heibai Dual Trees, pondering what worldly matters needed to be settled before leaving.
The Forgotten Corner over there, forget it; he couldn’t go for now. He took the Chairman, Little Worm, and the Two Puppets. If the Three Major Organizations discovered his whereabouts, they’d undoubtedly go mad with rage.
"Xiao Wu, Da Xiang, are still waiting for me to go over."
Although Qin Ming thought it might be their great opportunity, he wasn’t at ease. Without finding the thread spun by the Dream Insect, he’d have to try with his own golden silk.
At this moment, in a rundown, desolate ancient temple in the Outer Domain, Wu Yaizu and Xiang Yiwu were still suffering inside the Reincarnation Black Lotus.
For the living to endure the suffering of reincarnation is unimaginable, even the old monsters of the Great Leiyin Temple near the end of their lives were unwilling to tread lightly.
At this moment, in the dried up Seven Treasures Pool, spots of water gleamed, very different from before, shrouded in mist, with chants of zen resonating, surprisingly sacred.
Crucially, there was a group of light by the Seven Treasures Pool, where a white-clothed figure sat cross-legged, seemingly connected to a door behind him.
He was very young, solemnly majestic, sitting there quietly, motionless.
He was enveloped by the Buddha’s light, no matter how you looked at him, he seemed to be an enlightened being, transcending beyond.
Beside him was a wandering monk, seemingly guarding him, very formidable, standing a full ten feet tall.
The wandering monk spoke, "If you two can free yourselves from reincarnation, you’ll be awakened, thus becoming the Dharma Guardian Vajra of our sect."
In the Reincarnation Black Lotus, Xiao Wu was in pain, but couldn’t help but speak, "Who are you looking down on, even a Dharma Guardian Vajra is just the head of Power Warriors, can I become a Buddha instead?"
"Do not be rude!" The wandering monk immediately glared, his copper bell-like eyes wide, reprimanding them.
He looked serious, very earnest, saying, "With a Buddha Son present, you cannot blaspheme the Buddha."
Evidently, that white-clothed young man held an extremely high status, being a Buddha Son of the Great Leiyin Temple.
Xiang Yiwu gasped, saying, "My demands aren’t that high, granting a Bodhisattva status would be fine."
The Buddha Son spoke gently, "In the future, it’s not impossible. First serve as a Dharma Guardian Vajra; if you possess Buddha wisdom, with early spirit roots, you can attain the Bodhisattva fruit status, perhaps even become a Buddha."
The wandering monk said, "Your brother seems to have a Wisdom Root. If he is brought here, he can become an Arhat in the future."
It was clear, watching over the Seven Treasures Pool, he had seen some of the reincarnation scenes reflected in the black lotus, knowing that someone named Qin Ming seemed remarkable.
In pain, Xiao Wu couldn’t help but want to laugh, saying, "If Brother Ming knew he had the demeanor of an Arhat, what kind of expression would he have."
The wandering monk rebuked, "Do you know the esteemed status of an Arhat in the Great Leiyin Temple, do not speak lightly of it."
Xiao Wu said, "The thing is, it needs to be mutual willingness. Brother Ming, if he hears someone wants to abduct him to become a monk, will surely be disrespectful to the Buddhist Temple."
From behind the Buddha Son, a faint voice came from within the depths of the door: "Who dares to be disrespectful to the Buddha?"
A Buddhist nun emerged, possessing breathtaking beauty, walking step by step on golden lotuses, standing amidst the misty Buddha light, transcendental and refined.
Xiao Wu said, "To be honest, if Brother Ming came, even if you are Buddha Sons and Buddhist nuns, you might not be able to stop him!"
Last time, through a long-distance conversation with Qin Ming, he had already known that his own brother was participating in external wars, with terrifying battle achievements, having slain Saints.
From behind that door, within the Buddha light, someone else emerged, saying, "Qin Ming, fond of fighting? He is the best candidate for our sect’s battle Dharma Guardian from beyond the mountains."
Xiang Yiwu said, "We have no intent to blaspheme the Buddha. It is just that we are accustomed to freedom and do not wish to sever our ties to the world. However, on a side note, if one day you encounter my brother, you ought to treat him with some respect; he is not as agreeable as the two of us."
"If he appears, he is one with Wisdom Root, should surely join our sect, allowing you all to bathe in the Buddha’s light with him, which could help you sever your worldly ties, and from then on, participate in the Great Way together."
...
Qin Ming noticed the Chairman furrowing her brows deeply, as if contemplating something but unable to make sense of it.
This surprised him; was there really any Scripture Meaning that could stump her?
Qin Ming was eager to communicate with the Chairman, as he could glean valuable insights from her, beneficial for his cultivation.
Therefore, he stepped forward to inquire. If there was any extraordinary True Scripture, they could discuss it together.
"I am pondering, once I sever my past, will I still be myself?" the Chairman raised her head leisurely.
Previously, she had said that severing the past meant attaining rebirth, but once truly accomplished, her eyes looked far away again.
She wanted to return to this era complete and flawless, to reclaim all her past magnificence.
Qin Ming said, "As time passes, like ordinary people, some memories will be lost, forgotten forever. Many Cultivators are the same, needing to purify useless emotions and the diverse past. It’s like the rebirth of the body, with flesh and blood constantly replacing and repairing. Just like my eighteen-year-old self compared to my five-year-old self, the flesh and blood have long been replaced over and over again; who isn’t severing from the past?"
