Chapter 963 Dao Slashing Forbidden Power
A golden treasure ship slowly moved forward on the Boundary River.
In a cabin of the ship, Lin Xun was studying the mystery of the Great Treasury Silent Scripture.
The scripture was extremely profound, developed from the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art through endless years of efforts of Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen.
It was all-encompassing and roughly divided into three volumes.
The first volume, called Teachings, was an elaboration of the essence and mysteries of the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art by the two Saints.
The Great Earth Treasury Scripture was the foundation of the ancient sect the Earth Treasury Temple. It was a supreme inheritance in itself, containing unbelievable profound truths. It provided a general outline for Buddhist cultivators of the Earth Treasury Temple to study and comprehend the dao.
For example, the Universal Mercy and Succor Art that Mu Zheng practiced also belonged to an ancient inheritance in the Great Earth Treasury Scripture.
In other words, by understanding the Great Earth Treasury Scripture, Lin Xun could grasp all the dao art inheritances passed down in the Earth Treasury Temple.
Not every successor of the Earth Treasury Temple could grasp them. After all, it was the inheritance foundation of a sect. Arts should not be taught carelessly, and the dao should not be passed on so lightly.
In the first volume of the Great Treasury Silent Scripture, Saint Monk Duji organized and compiled all the profound secrets of the Great Earth Treasury Scripture.
It was akin to an elder of a sect passing on their teachings. The disciple did not need to explore and investigate alone to comprehend and successfully grasp all the profound mysteries of the scripture!
Even Mu Zheng, one of the eighteen sons of the Earth Treasury Temple, might not be able to enjoy such treatment.
On the other hand, the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art was the foundation of the Black Phoenix bloodline and also an ancient and supreme dao scripture.
The Black Phoenix Saint Queen combined her cultivation base and dao arts to create a comprehensive exposition of this scripture in the first volume of the Great Treasury Silent Scripture.
This meant that anyone who studied the first volume of the Great Treasury Silent Scripture would be able to grasp the supreme inheritance of two ancient sects.
The second volume of the Great Treasury Silent Scripture was called Dao Integration, a way to integrate the inheritance of two different sects. It contained the profound secrets of integrating the mysteries of the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art.
The third volume was the true essence of the Great Treasury Silent Scripture. Known also as the Treasury Silence, it was a brand-new dao scripture created by the two Saints in ancient times!
This new scripture was born out of two supreme inheritances and transcended them, involving the profound mystery of the Saint Path. Even the strongest Saints of the world coveted such a valuable item!
In a nutshell, the Great Treasury Silent Scripture was divided into three volumes, namely Teachings, Dao Integration, and Treasury Silence. Each part was as vast as the ocean and contained infinite wonderful meanings.
……
Lin Xun had to take it step by step if he wanted to fully comprehend this scripture.
He should first understand the first volume Teachings to grasp and master the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art.
Only when he fully comprehended the mysteries of the two could he further understand the Dao Integration volume and integrate the mysteries of the two dao scriptures into one.
Only when he achieved that would he have the foundation to comprehend the third volume, Treasury Silence!
However, Lin Xun knew very well that given his current ability, he didn’t know how many years it would take him to comprehend the mysteries of the Teaching part, let alone comprehend the Dao Integration and the Treasury Silence...
He even suspected that the last two volumes of the Great Treasury Silent Scripture were profound mysteries that only Saints could comprehend!
After all, the Dao Integration volume combined the fundamental foundation of two ancient sects as well as two supreme inheritances of ancient times!
It was near impossible for cultivators of the Cyclic Derivation Stage to grasp it because not even old monsters of the Life Death Stage could do so.
……
It was only after a long moment that Lin Xun awakened from his comprehension state and got up to open the door.
“How was it?” Luo Jia was already waiting outside his door.
In a purple dress, she was like an orchid in an empty valley, her beautiful and fair face glowing with anticipation.
“Okay.” Lin Xun nodded and handed her a bamboo scroll that recorded the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art.
Luo Jia stared at him in stunned silence, her pretty face disbelieving. It was only after a long moment that she took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the bamboo scroll with both hands.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Lin Xun with her clear glistening eyes. “Thank you so much, I will repay you in the future.”
Lin Xun said with a smile, “I have already gained something, so you don’t need to mind so much.”
Luo Jia shook her head. “This is different.“
……
On the ship, Miss Le, Shun Baixuan, and the others were also waiting anxiously.
Many unbelievable events had happened since entering the mysterious ancient temple, and they were all curious about what Lin Xun had experienced.
Before long, Lin Xun and Luo Jia appeared together. They did not hide anything and told them everything they saw at the depths of the ancient temple.
However, Lin Xun mentioned little about the dao enlightenment and the Bodhi root. After all, it was a private matter, and he shouldn’t talk too much about it.
Even so, Miss Le and the others were shaken.
In ancient times, two powerful Saints took a forbidden step and were killed by a golden, ruler-like figure!
In this world, was there a force stronger than a saint?
It was also at this moment that they finally understood that the rumors were not true. Saint Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen were not mortal enemies and the queen was not killed by Duji.
On the contrary, they had a very close relationship, and they once studied the dao together. In other words, the murderer who killed them was someone else!
Everyone fell silent for a moment, wondering who on the earth could possess the supreme power that could kill two ancient Saints.
And what did that taboo step mean?
In the silence, Miss Le seemed to think of something as her body went stiff for a moment and her clear eyes widened with fear. “If my guess is correct, it is the Saint Severing Forbidden Power, which is also known as the Dao Slashing Power!”
Saint Severing Forbidden Power!
Dao Slashing Power!
Both names were chilling.
“Is the legend true?” Shun Baixuan’s countenance changed, as though he thought of something.
Luo Jia couldn’t help asking, “What is it?”
Lin Xun also trembled. He cast his mind back to the golden power sealed within the bodhi root. Perhaps that's the Saint Severing Forbidden Power that Miss Le spoke of!
“In ancient times, there was an extremely hazy rumor that whenever a Saint wanted to surpass the forbidden and seek a higher level of power, they would draw upon the tribulation of death...” In a low, whispering voice, Miss Le revealed a secret unknown to the world.
The Saint Severing Forbidden Power seemed to have an unfathomable background, like the incarnation of the laws of order in the heavens, signifying the unknown and death.
Since ancient times, many great figures had vanished mysteriously and never appeared in the world again. Rumor had it that they died under that forbidden power!
Of course, it was only a very vague rumor. If Lin Xun hadn’t mentioned the encounter between Saint Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen, Miss Le would never think of it.
“I also heard from my ancestors that the forbidden power can sever a Saint’s cultivation and wipe away their existence like the slash of the great dao,” Shun Baixuan chimed in. “Also, there are rumors that the appearance of the Hidden Holy Lands is related to that forbidden power.”
“Hidden Holy Land, the place where Saints live in seclusion… Yes, if there isn’t a reason, then why would Saints willingly hide and live in seclusion? This rumor may be true,” Miss Le gasped.
Lin Xun was taken aback. Only then did he realize that the so-called Hidden Holy Lands in the world were related to secrets that no one knew.
Of course, everything was just a rumor, and no one could be sure if they have not touched on the truth.
Then, they discussed the Buddha embryo.
According to Miss Le, the Buddha embryo was originally an aeth embryo raised by nature and was very rarely found in the world. Saint Duji obtained it and kept it by his side.
When Miss Le entered the ancient temple and saw the Buddha embryo, it dawned on her that it contained a huge secret. Its body most likely contained the power of two Saints, the Saint Monk and the Saint Queen!
However, she was surprised to hear Lin Xun mention a black bird acting shamelessly and indecently.
But she couldn’t help laughing when she heard that Mu Zheng, a peerless figure of the Earth Treasury Temple, was attacked from behind by the black bird and knocked unconscious with just an iron pot.
“Interesting that it has such a character even if it accompanied two Saints for years on end. The black bird must have an extraordinary origin and background. Unfortunately, we failed to capture it this time...” Miss Le muttered.
The others nodded in agreement.
This black bird had been sealed in the black jade altar since ancient times, and it was the incarnate of an aeth embryo that followed two Saints all year round. How would it be an ordinary being?
“No matter what, this trip has been worthwhile. Miss Luo Jia also got her wish and obtained the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art. Congratulations,” Miss Le exclaimed with a smile.
“It’s only because of your help. I will repay you two in the future.” Luo Jia bowed respectfully.
……
“Lin Xun, before you leave, would you like to practice with me?” Shun Baixuan’s eyes lit up like lightning, looking contemptuous and conceited.
The trip was over, and he and Luo Jia would soon leave.
Knowing that, he couldn't hold back from challenging Lin Xun again.
Luo Jia felt a headache coming on. Can this guy not sit still for a second? We just got out of the ruins of the ancient temple and he is about to cause trouble again!
Unexpectedly, Lin Xun did not refuse, but said with interest, “Are you sure?”
Shun Baixuan beamed and a proud smile spread across his lips. “Is there a need to consider so much?”
“This fool is confused again. Is his memory that bad?” Kou Xing and the others wore pitying looks on their faces in the distance.
If Shun Baixuan heard their sighs, he would likely go mad with anger again.
“How about this…”
Just as Lin Xun opened his mouth, Shun Baixuan interrupted, “Remember, it is a battle between you and me. No outsiders are allowed to intervene!”
Everyone had strange looks on their faces. Clearly, Shun Baixuan was worried that Xia Zhi would come out and intervene again.
This indicated that Shun Baixuan, an arrogant and tyrannical devil king of the world, had been traumatized by Xia Zhi’s beating….
