I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 129 - 98: Anomaly at Xuanxin Temple, Something New
They all wanted to hear some secrets.
But unexpectedly, Abbot Huisheng only reminisced for a moment before turning and putting away the Relic.
"Everyone, your rooms have been prepared. There is no need to block the way here, lest you inconvenience those arriving after you."
The many Jianghu People looked embarrassed.
Jian Taiwen was about to continue arranging the watch duty for everyone.
Just then, Abbot Huisheng’s gaze fell upon Shen Bai, and he suddenly froze.
"Wait, young benefactor, do not be hasty!"
Abbot Huisheng called out to Shen Bai.
Shen Bai furrowed his brow slightly, not understanding what the Abbot meant, but he stopped nonetheless.
Abbot Huisheng could hardly hide the shock in his eyes. "You possess the Buddha’s Light and your eyes hold a Wisdom Root... Young benefactor, how can your Buddha Nature be so profound?"
The Jianghu People, who had been about to leave, instantly stopped in their tracks. All of them stared at Shen Bai in astonishment.
The crazed Hui Yuan could be dismissed as being of unsound mind, but now that even Abbot Huisheng was saying such things, they realized that Shen Bai might truly be no simple character.
Jian Taiwen was the leader of this excursion. Seeing this scene unfold, he looked at Shen Bai with a hint of surprise.
To be honest, he knew Shen Bai’s status; a special recruit was a symbol of the Observatory.
But he couldn’t see anything extraordinary about Shen Bai at all, as Shen Bai’s Qi was just like that of an ordinary person.
Yet now, it seemed something was unusual about Shen Bai’s situation.
Jian Taiwen thought to himself, ’As expected, none of the special recruits are simple.’
Shen Bai frowned. "Abbot, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. How could I have a Wisdom Root?"
Abbot Huisheng pondered for a moment. "Benefactor, have you by any chance practiced a Buddhist Cultivation Method?"
Shen Bai thought for a moment, then nodded. "That is correct."
His Vajra Dharma Form Fist was a Buddhist Divine Power.
Abbot Huisheng came to a sudden realization. "So that’s how it is. Young benefactor, would you be willing to demonstrate your skill?"
Shen Bai glanced around, his frown deepening.
Seeing his expression, Abbot Huisheng explained, "Young benefactor, you misunderstand. This Buddhist Teachings convention is different from previous ones. I wish to see if you possess a Buddhist Cultivation Method because a great opportunity has presented itself."
An opportunity?
Not only Shen Bai, but the many Jianghu People were also confused.
They only knew they were here to attend the Buddhist Teachings convention; they didn’t know anything about an opportunity.
Abbot Huisheng smiled. "Within Xuanxin Temple, there is a wondrous item known as the Buddha’s Six Wheels."
"The six wheels symbolize the six senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought."
"This wondrous item has been broken for many years and could not be used. However, after being tempered by Xuanxin Temple’s Buddhist Teachings for so long, it can now be used a single time."
As soon as he said this, Shen Bai heard a series of gasps.
Clearly, this Buddha’s Six Wheels was no simple thing.
Abbot Huisheng continued, "It can only be used once, but that is enough. Activating the Buddha’s Six Wheels will unlock one of Xuanxin Temple’s unsolved mysteries."
Shen Bai stroked his chin. "What unsolved mystery?"
Abbot Huisheng pointed toward the mountain behind the temple. "On the rear mountain, there is a place sealed off by an Array. It was created by the founding patriarch of Xuanxin Temple, and no one has ever been able to break it."
"Only the Buddha’s Six Wheels can undo the seal. Although there are dangers inside, the Buddhist Family is inherently compassionate and would not create something that takes human lives."
"The patriarch once said that if it were ever opened, we should invite everyone under heaven to come and share in the opportunities within."
Hearing this, Shen Bai finally understood.
So, this was basically a dungeon, but one without life-or-death crises.
If you were lucky, you could find some good stuff.
Seeing Shen Bai remain silent, Abbot Huisheng continued, "Benefactor, the stronger your Wisdom Root, the greater the opportunity you will find. If your Wisdom Root is exceptional, perhaps you could temporarily set aside your duties for the Observatory and go explore."
Shen Bai looked at Jian Taiwen.
Although he didn’t need to, he understood social etiquette.
Jian Taiwen was the leader this time, so Shen Bai was showing him some respect.
Jian Taiwen hadn’t expected Shen Bai to show him such respect, but since Shen Bai had made the gesture, he certainly knew how to respond.
"In that case, we won’t miss one person. Shen Bai, go ahead and show us what you can do. Let’s see if you truly have this Buddha Nature."
There wasn’t much scheming and plotting within the Observatory, but Jian Taiwen was no fool; there was no need to offend a special recruit.
Shen Bai asked, "Are there any Deceitful Objects or anomalies inside?"
If there were no Deceitful Objects or anomalies, Shen Bai couldn’t be bothered to go in. After all, those were the only two things he truly needed.
Abbot Huisheng smiled. "Of course, there are."
Shen Bai said no more and circulated the Qi within his body.
The next moment, Shen Bai raised his right hand and threw a punch toward the sky.
Behind Shen Bai, a thirty-foot-tall Buddha rose from the void.
The sound of chanting and the Buddha’s Light intertwined, creating a sacred and solemn aura that made it hard for people to breathe.
With one punch, the Buddha Dharma Aspect behind him threw a punch as well.
As this punch was thrown, the terrifying Dharma Aspect shook the heavens and the earth.
The clouds in the sky trembled violently, and a fierce wind blew so hard that no one could open their eyes.
Shen Bai stopped there, not taking it any further, and lowered his fists.
The surrounding Jianghu People were all stunned, standing motionless as if they were made of wood.
After a long moment, a gust of wind blew past, and everyone finally snapped back to their senses.
"Is this... the compassionate Buddhist Fist Technique?"
"Why do I feel like I’m looking directly at a Furious Vajra?"
"Putting everything else aside, I’m afraid no one from the younger generation can match his strength."
Among this crowd were people from powerful factions, and even many from the older generation leading their groups. Their judgment was incredibly sharp.
Abbot Huisheng was stunned. He then suddenly looked at Jian Taiwen and said, "Lord Jian, I wonder if the Observatory would be willing to part with such a talent? If the young benefactor were to join Xuanxin Temple, even as a lay disciple, he would surely shine brightly."
Jian Taiwen cleared his throat. "You’ll have to ask Lord Liu about that."
Abbot Huisheng asked, confused, "Why is that?"
Jian Taiwen said slowly, "Shen Bai was specially recruited by Lord Liu. Perhaps you should go have a word with Lord Liu, Abbot."
