Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 482 The last person

In the deep mountain valley, there is a clear pond.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and then sat down again.

What Master Shenxiu said is true. In these turbulent times, things that were impossible in the past may not be absolutely possible. Let's wait and see before making a decision.

Seeing him sit down, Master Shenxiu smiled and said, "I believe you have also heard that the True Buddha Daoist lineage, which appears once every thousand years in the Western Desert, is about to descend."

Chen Mu nodded and said cautiously, "I have indeed heard some rumors, but there are different opinions, so I don't know the details..."

Shenxiu nodded and said, "That's true. After all, in the past thousand years, apart from the Nascent Soul cultivators with profound realms, who else can go through two rounds of the True Buddha Dao?
The rumors you've heard before are mostly records from our ancestors. Most people here, like you, have never truly witnessed the true Buddha's inheritance."

Chen Mu's heart was moved. He felt that Shenxiu's words were full of hidden meanings, so he asked tentatively, "Master, have you ever seen the true Buddha's lineage?"

"Me?" Shenxiu raised his eyes and asked, then chuckled, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, you and I are currently at the Holy Mountain of the True Buddha Sect..."

Chen Mu raised a single eyebrow and asked in surprise, "So, the True Buddha lineage has been taken over by the Master this time?"

Shenxiu smiled but said nothing. After a while, he sighed, shook his head and said, "How can it be that simple? A hundred years ago, I calculated that this was the place where the True Buddha would descend, so I led the people to establish a mountain here.

After a hundred years of hard work, I am only one step ahead of others."

Chen Mu was secretly shocked. For cultivators like them, if they were one step faster, they would have the advantage.

If nothing unexpected happens, the inheritance of the true Buddhist tradition will most likely fall into the hands of Shenxiu.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked around, wanting to see what was different about the True Buddha Mountain that appeared once every thousand years.

But no matter how he investigated, he could not find anything special...

Shenxiu saw through his thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "Daoyou, there is no need to be confused. The time for the Daoist to descend into the world has not yet arrived. There is nothing special about this place. Only after three months will the sacred mountain appear in the world."

After hearing this, Chen Mu was even more convinced that Shenxiu had every advantage. He even knew the exact time of his birth and had been preparing for a hundred years. How could the Nascent Soul cultivators in other Buddhist fields compare with him?

Shenxiu sat calmly, neither hot nor cold, his demeanor radiating a spring breeze. He continued, "I already know the source of this True Buddha lineage. It comes from the fifty-sixth of the eighty-eight Buddhas, Namo Precious Light Buddha..."

There are a total of twenty-four side halls and one main hall on the Lingshan Mountain under the seat of Baoguang Buddha. If you want to obtain the inheritance, you must refine all the halls before you can succeed.

But after a hundred years of hard work, I have reduced the difficulty of this condition a lot. After Lingshan appears in the world, I only need to refine the main hall and the Four Heavenly Kings Halls under it.

This is unknown to other fellow Daoists, and by then they will surely disperse their attention to various temples..."

Chen Mu frowned and said, "Master Shenxiu, they are not stupid people. They will definitely wait and see what happens at Baoguang Temple before making any move."

Shenxiu chuckled and said, "Of course I know this, so my Baoguang Temple also pretended to be confused and sent many disciples to fight for it. But the real plan only relies on these five people..."

"Which five people?" Shenxiu's face straightened, and he said loudly: "The main hall is under my control. I have been planning for a hundred years, so there shouldn't be many accidents here!"

Chen Mu was stunned, feeling that Shenxiu was full of confidence. Once he came out of the main hall, he was facing all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Western Desert. With his own strength, he could compete with several or even more than ten cultivators of the same level. Such courage was not something that ordinary people could have.

Shenxiu slowed down his tone and continued, "As for the candidates for the Heavenly King Hall... Fellow Daoist Yinlu can occupy one hall. With his Nascent Soul power, I'm afraid no one will compete with him for it.

And my disciple Zhiwang, whose golden elixir is perfect and whose Buddhist Dharma is just beginning to take shape, can occupy a hall. And fellow Daoist Yinghua, although he is a demon, has good fighting ability and there are few rivals among the same level.

But this last palace..."

He paused after he finished speaking, and looked at Chen Mu with a vague look.

Chen Mu was shocked. How could he not see what Shenxiu meant? He actually wanted him to be the last one!
Shenxiu's gaze remained fixed as he spoke, "Fellow Daoist Lingyuan is very insightful and must understand my intention. Let me ask you, are you willing to lend me a hand?"

Chen Mu was suspicious, so he asked, "Although this is not easy, Master, you have many disciples with high levels of cultivation. Why did you choose me? I'm only in the early stage of the Golden Core..."

Before he could finish his words, Shenxiu interrupted with a chuckle, "Fellow Daoist Lingyuan, there's no need to underestimate yourself. With your initial strength, you've already defeated Chi Ming and Ju Kui. From what I've seen, even Chi Kong might not be your match.

What's more, didn't Daoist Fellow Silver Deer give you a silver berry? After you refine it, it won't take much effort for you to naturally break through to the middle stage.

By then, your fighting strength will be even greater, and no one among my second-generation disciples will be able to defeat you.

The most important thing is that you are not a disciple of Baoguang Temple, so if you take over the Heavenly King Palace, it will save a lot of trouble..."

Chen Mu nodded. This made sense. Even if others knew that he had visited Baoguang Temple, they would never have thought that Master Shenxiu would entrust such an important task to an outsider, not to mention that he was a monk from Beiyuan.

Shenxiu's eyes were blazing as he smiled and said, "This matter cannot be forced. It all depends on your sincerity. If you don't want to, I won't stop you. Just swear not to reveal this matter, and you can leave on your own.

But if you agree, after the success of Baoguang Temple, I will grant you the throne of the Heavenly King. Even if you return to Beiyuan, I will also provide you with all the necessary resources. In addition, if you have any requests in the future, I will also help you. "

Before he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, continuing, "I almost forgot, there's one more thing. The Precious Light Buddha is also known as the Precious Flame Tathagata. Although the Buddhist scriptures he inherited are not as good as the mantra of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, they can still dispel and eliminate the murderous intent in your soul..."

Chen Mu was very interested when he heard this. It wasn't because he coveted a few resources, but because of the last two things that Master Shenxiu promised...

Whether it is the personal promise of the Nascent Soul cultivator or the inherited Buddhist scriptures that have the effect of eroding murderous intent, it is extremely worthwhile and the risk is worth taking!
After all, only he himself knows his own strength. From the beginning to the end, his Five Elements Divine Thunder ability has never been revealed.

Furthermore, if refining the silver berries could truly allow him to break through to the middle stage, then even a cultivator who had reached the Perfect Golden Core stage might not be completely powerless to fight...

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Shenxiu smiled slightly and added fuel to the fire, saying, "I see that your swordsmanship is quite good, but you don't have a sword that suits you. How can that be possible? The benefits of swordsmanship need to be complemented by a sword."

He stretched out his hand and took out a three-inch small sword shining with silver light. Judging from its aura, it was a magical weapon of upper-middle quality.

Chen Mu's eyes flickered, and he felt that this matter had great potential. He no longer hesitated and said, "Master Shenxiu, I accept this matter."
