Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 1529: Chapter 84 Transforming into Buddha_2

Slightly lifting his head, he felt the coldness and Spiritual Energy above, shaking his head inwardly.

The extreme cold Spiritual Energy here was abundantly rich, not inferior to that within the Wanxiang Sect.

However, for him, it was already not very effective.

He had a premonition that only by going deeper into this Ice Abyss would it substantially aid his cultivation.

With this thought in mind, he followed his heart and asked politely:

“May I ask, master, how can I be allowed to go down?”

“You want to go down?”

The robust monk slightly frowned, sizing up the Ice Daoist, but did not get angry. Instead, he shook his head and said:

“You cultivate Ice Skill, and this place is indeed suitable for you… but still, the Venerate resides below. If we disturb the Venerate, we won’t have the face to face the Venerate or stay here. Better you go back up. Originally, according to me, others shouldn’t be allowed to descend.”

Seeing that the robust monk was not open to negotiation, the Ice Daoist pondered for a moment and then bowed slightly to the monk before swiftly flying towards the exterior of the Ice Abyss.

On the way, he met the bare-chested elder monk Zhao Jie. After hearing the Ice Daoist’s story, his expression remained calm:

“It was difficult enough to allow Tan Yue to enter, going further down is under ‘Zhao Cheng’s’ jurisdiction as the Enforcer, his Buddhist faith is resolute and difficult to shake. In the past, the monks of the Ci generation might have persuaded him, but now… it’s also difficult for this old monk to convince him. If Tan Yue feels it’s not enough, it might be better to continue cultivating here, taking advantage of the local Spiritual Energy.”

The Ice Daoist clearly understood the implication. The monk below, Zhao Cheng, was stubborn, and even Zhao Jie could not handle him, thus he slightly shook his head:

“Thank you for your kind intentions, master, but Spiritual Energy is easy to find while the True Intent is hard to come by. What I lack now is the extreme cold contained here.”

Zhao Jie felt the aura of the Ice Daoist and couldn’t help but nod his head.

He could clearly feel that the Ice Daoist’s Dao Intention was increasingly nearing completion, but was still slightly lacking, thus he was unable to form his Dao Secret.

This wasn’t a matter that could be resolved by a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, nor necessarily because the other’s cultivation time was insufficient. It mainly depended on the environment and the cultivator’s own comprehension and foundation.

But protecting the Venerate was the collective decision of the remaining Zhao-generation monks and, given Zhao Cheng’s near rigid and outdated way of doing things, it was not something he could persuade.

Even if he was willing to risk disturbing the Venerate to let the Ice Daoist in, there was still the barrier of the previously mentioned robust monk, Zhao Cheng.

Feeling helpless, he said:

“Now that the Ci-character generation has all gone, this old monk has no methods regarding Zhao Cheng, Tan Yue, please forgive me.”

The Ice Daoist had an indifferent, almost ruthless mentality and was not too disappointed. He simply nodded and, after giving his respects to Zhao Jie, flew out.

Perhaps feeling guilty, Zhao Jie personally sent the Ice Daoist away from the Ice Abyss.

While sighing, he said:

“Back then, on the Northsea Continent, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, everything was unstable, and the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon also returned fiercely, eying us ferociously. Us few Zhao-generation monks, due to the restrictions of heaven and earth, could not intervene, could only watch as many temples and their legacies were extinguished…”

“If not for the Venerate stepping in time to bring us here, where we are not restricted by heaven and earth around the Northern Ice Abyss, protecting our juniors, likely the whole Xi Tuo Continent would only have us few old folks left.”

The Ice Daoist was just about to agree, but suddenly, he faintly heard cries of alarm coming from afar.

“…what is that…quick look…”

Upon hearing this, both Zhao Jie and the Ice Daoist could not help but look towards the distance.

They saw in the depth of the vast snowy field, amidst the wind and snow, a golden light gracefully advancing through the snow.

Taking a closer look, Being an Immortal Ascension existence, Zhao Jie’s Spiritual Sence swept over, and he instantly saw that golden light.

Firstly taken aback, he immediately changed color:

“This… Great Wheel Buddhist Nation?!”

“Great Wheel Buddhist Nation?”

The Ice Daoist was slightly puzzled, his eyesight limited and his Spiritual Sence range far inferior to Zhao Jie’s, so while he indeed saw some golden light advancing towards their location, he still could not see clearly in the midst of the wind and snow.

“The Great Wheel Buddhist Nation was before the great flood, the largest Buddhist nation in the entire Xi Tuo Continent. Thousands of Buddhist nations regarded it with respect. The master of the Great Wheel Buddhist Nation, named ‘Master Xinyuan’, if he were still here, we wouldn’t have fallen to this predicament…”

Zhao Jie stared intently at the golden light in the distance, his eyes filled with disbelief, he spoke rapidly.

However, hearing Zhao Jie’s words, the Ice Daoist suddenly had a realization:

“Master Xinyuan… Unseen Power?”

Zhao Jie was originally still staring into the distance, but hearing this from the Ice Daoist, he couldn’t help but turn his head in astonishment and said:

“‘Unseen Power’ is a secret not transmitted by Master Xinyuan, even within Xi Tuo Continent, few know of it, how did Tan Yue come to know?”

In that moment, the Ice Daoist evidently had something click, his eyes flickering:

“It seems my real body has also calculated it.”

Looking towards the distant golden light, he then explained quietly:

“In the past, I once met Master Ci Wu…”

Zhao Jie’s expression froze, then suddenly realized, with a somewhat shocked look:

“Did Martial Uncle Ci Wu pass the ‘Unseen Power’ to Tan Yue?”

The Ice Daoist shook his head slightly, his eyes focusing on the distant golden light:

“No, Master Ci Wu took interest in another.”

“Another?”

Zhao Jie involuntarily turned his head back, gazing at the slowly approaching gentle Buddha’s Light.”

And in this moment, not just Zhao Jie.

Hundreds of remaining Xi Tuo Continent monks, upon hearing, flew rapidly from beneath the icy layers, their gazes astonishedly fixed on the distance.

From within the Ice Abyss, immediately three or four shadowy figures differentiated and flew out, looking into the distance, their faces showing shock.
