Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1422 - 1092: The Direction Water Flows, The Things People Persist In!
The river flowed quietly, shimmering silver like a jade belt shining gently under the sunlight.
When the sun warms and the wind stops, the river surface becomes as tranquil as an innocent young girl, but inevitably, the girl will grow up, and the river will eventually drift far away, with no one knowing if it will ever return.
Isn’t life sometimes like this as well?
He drifted quietly with the river, not knowing where he would float to.
But he knew that as long as he had one breath left, he would persist in drifting to a farther and safer place.
For in his hand he held the greatest secret passed down through Shaolin from Dharma Ancestor—Dharma’s Heart.
This treasure hides a tremendous secret of an invincible weapon, rumored to potentially cause a terrifying catastrophe upon the world, more dangerous than the calamity of Leifeng Tower, even threatening the Holy Dynasty.
Before Dharma passed away, he foresaw this shocking secret with Heavenly Vision, wishing that future disciples could find a way to destroy the weapon. Thus, he ordered his disciple skilled in mechanisms, Hui Ke, to design Dharma’s Heart, which protected the location of the weapon, hoping that once future disciples found a way to destroy the weapon, they would act.
This matter had always been a secret, unknown to outsiders what Dharma’s Heart was or entailed.
For even in Shaolin, the method to unlock Dharma’s Heart was passed down through one line only to the most virtuous and trustworthy disciples of each generation.
Unfortunately, Shaolin is an ancient temple that has undergone changes over several dynasties and has experienced times of chaos in its long history.
Especially during the chaotic era when the Holy Dynasty was establishing dominance; despite Shaolin’s strong influence, it was also invaded by strong forces during wars of that era. Fearing that Dharma’s Heart would fall into enemy hands, the abbot entrusted it to a very trustworthy lay disciple, transporting Dharma’s Heart out of Shaolin.
From then, news and secrets about Dharma’s Heart began to circulate on a small scale in the Martial World...
This significant Dharma’s Heart is now tightly held in his left hand.
To keep the secret, he has lost his other right arm.
The battle that took place on Heaven Mountain that day was truly perilous, the most challenging since he entered the Returning to Truth Realm.
Fortunately, he finally escaped the calamity using the last bit of Dharma Power stored in Dharma’s Heart and one of Dharma’s Five Great Divine Skills—Divine Movement Skill.
However, using the Dharma’s Divine Skills comes with a great price, as his senior brother Hui De sacrificed his life using Heavenly Vision.
He originally wouldn’t have been fatal when using Divine Movement Skill, but given his severe injuries, using it exacerbated the wounds, now solely sustained by a single breath and powerful Primordial Spirit strength.
As the new generation inheritor of Dharma’s Heart after Hui En, he might become the monk with the shortest duration of holding Dharma’s Heart...
Thinking of this, the Sweeping Monk neither bitterly smiled nor felt fear; his heart was filled with fearlessness and calm.
This is the destination, and also a new journey; he must embark on this new journey at the arrival of the destination, safely returning Dharma’s Heart to Shaolin.
Suddenly, the river ahead turned rapid and narrow, with the roaring sound of water growing louder, deafening, mixed with faint human voices coming from afar. The Sweeping Monk focused his ears, filtering out the water sound, listening intently.
"Hey, look! There seems to be someone floating in the river ahead..."
"In such cold weather, no one would go swimming; looks like they’ve been injured in a vendetta."
"Hey, seems like a bald guy, hey, come over, could it be the old monk the Grandmaster is looking for?"
"Hurry, go take a look..."
"An Abnormal Person..."
As the Sweeping Monk made a judgment, he also immediately became alert.
Who is the Grandmaster?
Which Grandmaster is looking for the old monk? Could it be that after escaping a situation, I am about to fall into a Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave?
As he became alert, he also regained a bit of clarity, with Primordial Spirit Power starting to sense beyond. Suddenly, a strange telepathic sense arose in his mind, feeling a powerful spiritual strength penetrating deep into his spirit, rapidly invading.
The Sweeping Monk quickly focused his will, tightly guarding his Zen Heart, suddenly sensing an elder in a purple robe with a bloodthirsty and cruel aura, his hands clasped, vividly appearing in his mind, sneering sinisterly.
"Not good!"
The Sweeping Monk immediately knew the opponent had appeared within ten miles of his vicinity, using some closely related object as a medium, with the Primordial Spirit locking onto his location.
Clearly, something impossible now actually happened; the Sweeping Monk immediately realized that his body had been tampered with by the opponent, otherwise it would be impossible to track him here so precisely and lock his position.
His Primordial Spirit swiftly darted out, suddenly realizing sorrowfully that the opponent could track him so precisely because of the dominant Essence Qi left from the opponent still ravaging within him, using their Qi as a medium to continuously track him.
"A worthless mortal coil, after all, must be shed."
The Sweeping Monk resolutely initiated Primordial Spirit Emergence, his spirit swiftly penetrating into the minds of a few Abnormal People on the opposite bank, capturing from their strange thoughts some messages and meanings, learning that the "Grandmaster" represented none other than the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali.
"Could it be that this is causality..."
With the situation critical, the Sweeping Monk swiftly made a choice. With a sudden wave of his left hand, the Dharma’s Heart, which he would never abandon, flew out from his grip, directly towards a certain Abnormal Person on the shore.
At the same time, his body fell along with the stream towards the torrents of the waterfall below.
The Primordial Spirit, after sending a plea for aid to several Abnormal People, transformed into an arc and fled to another direction.
"Shit, a Hidden Weapon!"
"The bald donkey is insidious!"
The moment the Sweeping Monk’s Primordial Spirit invaded the minds of several players, they felt as if the whole world turned red and twisted. In the next moment, they saw the Sweeping Monk toss the Dharma’s Heart, and instinctively they wanted to dodge or knock it away.
Yet at the same time, they suddenly received a plea for help from the Sweeping Monk’s Primordial Spirit.
"You have triggered the adventure task ’Shaolin Sweeping Monk’s Plea’
Task Content: The Shaolin Sweeping Monk is being pursued by a terrifying and powerful enemy. He hopes you and your companions can take an item and deliver it to the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali or Songshan Shaolin. If you can accomplish this, you will receive substantial rewards.
Task Requirements: 1: [Entrusted to the Wrong Person]Deliver the Sweeping Monk’s item to the Black Wind Village Chief and advise him to give it to Shaolin;

Would you like to accept?"
Almost at the moment the task appeared on the panel, several players immediately halted their evasive maneuvers and attacks, forcefully twisting their bodies as if slamming on breaks, pouncing towards the glowing task item, the [Dharma’s Heart].
However, just as one of them caught the [Dharma’s Heart], several of them suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground, with their spirits seeming to have left them, forcing them offline.
In each of their minds, the last thoughts were curses.
"Shit! Went offline."
"That bald donkey definitely invaded our spirits just now."
"Once the mind is invaded, it forces a logout."
Thump thump thump—
Three Abnormal People fell rigidly to the ground.
The Sweeping Monk, whose Primordial Spirit had fled over a thousand meters away, was immediately shocked and bewildered upon sensing this scene. Just as he intended to turn back to check the situation of those Abnormal People, suddenly a wild and sharp laugh stirred the waters, echoing from the distant river surface.
Accompanying this laughter was the sound of chaotic and disturbing chanting.
But upon hearing this chanting, not only did the Sweeping Monk not feel any kinship, but he felt further insulted and angry.
Because what the other person was chanting was not scripture at all; the other person was entirely reciting the Buddhist "Heart Sutra" in reverse, how could that not be irritating to the ears!
Reciting Buddhism in reverse!
Abandoning one’s heart!
Opposing the Dao!
No Scripture, No Dao!
The Sutra King has arrived... A pair of eyes filled with murderous intent quickly appeared on the distant river surface, shooting out two fierce red lights, directly locking onto the Sweeping Monk’s Primordial Spirit.
Escape! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
His only choice was to run!
The farther he fled, the better, even if he perished along the way, he had to create more opportunities for those unreliable Abnormal People.
No matter if the Abnormal People handed the Dharma’s Heart to Black Wind Village Chief or to Shaolin, it was a better outcome than falling into the hands of the current evil-minded enemy...
