Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1231 - 146: One Attains the Dao

"Back then, the disciples under the Zen Master’s tutelage..."

"Did they all willingly come to this Grotto Heaven to burn their lives and offer their existence?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the bones and the faint lights, his expression becoming solemn.

"Indeed."

Chi Chanzi looked down at the senior brothers beside him, and said softly, "The people only know that the Master cultivated the ’Path of Life,’ which can resurrect the dead and restore flesh to bone... but they do not know that the Master cultivated a second Taoist Intent."

Xie Xuanyi’s expression turned grave.

The Zen Master’s second Taoist Intent...

He vaguely guessed it.

"Could it be... the Path of Time?"

Xie Xuanyi spoke instinctively.

"It is indeed the Path of Time."

Chi Chanzi nodded in agreement, his gesture filled with admiration, and then asked, "Did you deduce this through Chen Chong?"

It was indeed an extremely small, yet extremely obvious clue.

Xie Xuanyi had seen Chen Chong’s Lifebound Dao.

The battle at Taoyuan.

Chen Chong attempted to challenge the Zen Master, to promote to Yang God, revealing his bottom card... At that time, he had only comprehended the ’Thunder Skill Path.’ After Condensing Dao, wanting to master another complete Taoist Intent was immensely difficult... Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Yang God Great Cultivators risking their lives to attempt reincarnation, hoping to comprehend one more Taoist Intent before Condensing Dao.

Yet now, Chen Chong had inexplicably acquired a top-level Great Dao.

This ’Path of Time’...

There is only one possibility.

It must be a gift from the Zen Master.

"By comprehending the ’Path of Time,’ the Master was able to conduct Divine Travel through his own strength for the first time within the Yin God Realm."

Chi Chanzi sighed deeply.

The "story" he spoke of was not recorded in historical records, nor known to outsiders.

Even Miao Zhen and Mi Yun...

Did not know this part of the Zen Master’s past.

This is a three-hundred-year-old story, of the past that has gone, of those who have passed.

If placed in the past.

Xie Xuanyi would never believe anyone could perform Divine Travel in the Yin God Realm... Yet now he was the exception, and he had personally encountered the Zen Master’s presence within the River of Destiny.

Yet now.

He believes it.

Xie Xuanyi felt a sense of awe.

In terms of Dao cultivating aptitude... perhaps the Zen Master was even above his Master...

This Great Virtue cultivated Dao not for attack, not for combat.

The ’Path of Life’ saved countless beings.

The ’Path of Time’ twisted the Great Dao River.

"After Condensing Dao, the Master could freely enter and exit the River of Destiny."

Chi Chanzi, with eyes full of reverence, slowly said, "Later on, the Master accomplished all of the Six Dao Divine Powers of Buddhism. He used the ’Heavenly Vision’ to overlook both ends of the river, the ’Heavenly Ear’ to listen to the cries of living beings, ’Telepathy’ to feel the pain of all living beings, ’Divine Steps’ to traverse the void, ’Destiny Power’ to divine the future, and ’Leakless Communication’ to resist the punishment of cause and effect."

This statement, no matter who hears it, would evoke a strong sense of shock.

All six Divine Skills accomplished by one person.

What a terrifying karmic casting is this?

"So..."

Xie Xuanyi couldn’t help but ask, "Should the Zen Master have already reached the Heavenly Human Realm by now?"

"..."

Chi Chanzi smiled without speaking.

Though he stationed at the Red Pearl Cicada Country, never leaving an inch.

Yet he was aware of all major and minor matters under heaven.

Chi Chanzi had long cultivated the ’Heavenly Vision’ and ’Heavenly Ear.’

"The closest existence to the Heavenly Human Realm under the heavens... should still be your Master..."

Chi Chanzi laughed and provided an answer that surprised Xie Xuanyi somewhat.

At Lotus Peak.

Xie Xuanyi had seen the Master’s Sword Origin River with his own eyes.

This was a divine skill reaching beyond the sky. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But... despite the Master’s strength, according to Chi Chanzi’s earlier account, the Zen Master’s power was no less than the Master’s. Having completed all six Divine Skills, alongside characters possessing the ’Path of Life’ and ’Path of Time,’ how could he not have reached the Heavenly Human Realm? The Zen Master should have broken through to Yang God ahead of the Master.

"This... how could it be..."

Xie Xuanyi frowned.

"Although the Master broke through to the Yang God Realm, he did not reach the Heavenly Human Realm, not because his strength was insufficient, enlightenment lacking, or creation inadequate... but because, at that final moment, he chose to ’abandon’."

Chi Chanzi provided an explanation.

He slowly turned back, gazing at the golden coffin, his eyes once again revealing a hint of sorrow.

The golden hue on the coffin was not gilded by later generations for reverence.

Buddha Blood seeped through the crevices of the coffin, continuously, year after year.

Thus, this great coffin.

Was stained with gold by the seeping Buddha Blood.

"Abandon?"

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

"The Master saw an unspeakable future, or perhaps the same forbidden past."

Chi Chanzi lowered his eyelids, laughing self-mockingly, "Maybe because of too many Divine Travels, he abandoned the chance to prove his Dao, choosing to seal himself in the coffin... He left only one sentence."

Xie Xuanyi asked, "What words?"

"One person attaining enlightenment cannot save all living beings."

Chi Chanzi spoke softly.

"From that day on, the Master ’died’."

"He used this wooden coffin as a bed, hid his flesh body in the void, alone, stepping into the River of Destiny. Fighting an unspeakable catastrophe."

If a person does not leave the mountain, does not meet others.

Then living... and dead, what is the difference?

"From that day, Fan Yin Temple’s Red Pearl Cicada Country no longer welcomed guests."

"People always think, the Master only died in these twenty years, unbeknownst to them, the Master ’died’ many, many years ago."

Chi Chanzi smiled and said, "Among all in Fan Yin Temple, only I know this secret now."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi’s expression grew complex.

He looked at the bones again, feeling something new in his heart.
