Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Lion Heart’s Innate Wisdom, Indestructible Before Divinity

Chen Kuang remained silent.

Huo Hengxuan continued narrating this extraordinary story.

"At that time, I was also staying in this village due to injuries. When I collected his corpse, I found this cultivation technique on him and used it to cultivate all the way to today."

Huo Hengxuan did not hide his act of taking without permission.

He himself was a military ruffian, not accustomed to doing things for free, so he considered the cultivation technique as compensation for collecting the corpse.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have been expelled from Jie Lan Temple back then for breaking precepts.

"And three days after his death, in the village pond, thousands of red lotuses bloomed for no reason, stunningly beautiful."

"The villagers thought it rare and sold them to the city at high prices."

"Among the villagers, fights and secret harms for profit ensued, causing a huge commotion. Not long after, it attracted wealthy merchants and tycoons, who organized a gang to pretend to be bandits and slaughter the village."

"In just a month, the village had become a ghostly land."

"And the wealthy merchant suddenly died of illness, and after his death, those thousand red lotuses withered and disappeared."

Chen Kuang raised an eyebrow, thinking this story might have been an allegory in a previous life.

But now... he knew the wandering monk’s identity might not be simple.

Sure enough, Huo Hengxuan looked at Chen Kuang and explained, "I once suspected he might have been the Buddha’s Son ’Lion Heart’ of the Pure Land, who mysteriously disappeared during that time."

"I guess he wanted to use Mortal Transformation Power to save all beings, with one word ’good’, breaking through to Profound Profound and achieving Daoist Shore Realm."

"But unfortunately, he failed in the end."

These words, combined with Huo Hengxuan’s previous mention of the Buddhist Sect’s residual wisdom.

Chen Kuang vaguely guessed his thoughts, thinking this old guy was absolutely insane...

"So, what do you mean?"

Huo Hengxuan grinned and stretched out his hand, surprisingly gathering a relic strung on a red cord that glowed with golden light:

"I want you to impersonate the reincarnated wisdom of ’Lion Heart’ and go to Jie Lan Temple as the Buddha’s Son."

"As long as they are willing to train you as the next Buddha’s Son, within five years, with your talent, you might achieve Saint Dao Fruit!"

"Even if you can’t achieve it, with this identity, Ji Chengtian, Donghuang, Three Tribulations Sect, and even Mystic God Daoist Sect must consider the weight of Pure Land before acting against you!"

Chen Kuang was almost dumbfounded, thinking this plan was so ludicrous that the word absurd wasn’t enough to describe it!

What kind of place is Pure Land?

Even as a Little Musician, he had heard of it—it is the place where ten thousand Buddhas congregate, the true Buddhist Holy Land, Ten Thousand Miles Buddha Country.

As for the name Jie Lan Temple, Chen Kuang didn’t recognize it.

But having a Profound Profound Realm Buddha’s Son means this force can definitely contend with Mystic God Daoist Sect.

To deceive a gigantic force comparable to Mystic God Daoist Sect into treating Chen Kuang as their most important heir for training...

It’s as difficult as ascending to heaven!

This really was a heavenly gamble!

If the gamble is lost, it’s truly a path of no redemption.

Chen Kuang twitched his mouth, looking at that fake relic: "I say, old guy, could you be here to trick me? This kind of joke is not funny."

Huo Hengxuan laughed, lifting the golden shining relic in his hand, surrounded by five colors, with eight Buddha forms appearing grandly, striking the soul.

"I’m not joking."

"This relic is not ’Lion Heart’s’, it’s mine—cast from my true Saint body while alive."

"And what I practiced is the Mud Golden Sculpting Technique, having obtained the Eight-Phase Buddha Bone, which is more genuine than ’Lion Heart’s’ relic."

"You have both the relic and the cultivation technique, and now you know the true whereabouts of ’Lion Heart’, who went missing forty years ago."

"If you’re not the reincarnated wisdom, who is?"

Huo Hengxuan spoke convincingly, but Chen Kuang took a deep breath and asked the most crucial question:

"Could it be... they have no way to test who is the reincarnated wisdom?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Huo Hengxuan shook his head:

"I said, reincarnated wisdom is different from true Saint reincarnation; it inherits only memory and part of the cultivation. They are not the same person."

"If you ask how reincarnated wisdom differs from ordinary people, it’s that their Primordial Spirit is considerably more solid and powerful."

"This itself is a flaw."

"But you needn’t worry about this because..."

Huo Hengxuan’s gaze was incredibly deep:

"You are the reincarnated wisdom."

Chen Kuang suddenly raised his head, stiff all over, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy cavern.

"You knew it from the start?"

Huo Hengxuan laughed heartily: "I wasn’t sure before but now I know!"

Chen Kuang’s eyes twitched: "You tricked me?"

Huo Hengxuan shook his head: "Not quite a trick; I suspected when you resisted my murderous intent at a glance."

Chen Kuang said quietly: "So, you really wanted to kill me then?"

Huo Hengxuan chuckled, the rogue old rascal demeanor returning: "Only slightly, planned to leave you with a breath, didn’t expect you’d be unaffected."

"With an ordinary person’s natural Primordial Spirit strength, it’s unbearably strong, right."

Although Chen Kuang had long accepted the fate of being seen through in the High Martial World, he didn’t expect to be seen through so thoroughly...

But Huo Hengxuan disregarded his melancholy, handed over the relic and leisurely said:

"Alright, everything is ready, just missing a word from you; do you bet or not?"

He added: "If you don’t take this path, in five years, you will face a true Saint."

"By then, none can prevent them from reaching the stars."

"You know well what’s on your mind..."

"Of course, I know!"

Chen Kuang sighed, reached out and grabbed that golden shining relic, extinguishing the endless colors and visions, leaving only a spherical "pebble" like a chicken egg.

"Bet it is!"

He observed the relic for a while, and when he looked up again, there was no one in front of him.

As if it had all been a mere illusion.

When Huo Hengxuan left, it was as sudden as his arrival, leaving no trace.

Chen Kuang muttered with a smile:

"Darn old guy, didn’t even tell me how to get to Jie Lan Temple..."

He hung the relic around his neck, tucked it into his clothes carefully and securely.

"Well, I’ll find out along the way."

Chen Kuang grumbled for a long time, adjusted his clothes, and looking at where Huo Hengxuan was, mimicked those cultivators, bowed and whispered:

"General Huo, have a good journey."

The nearby Qingcuo had already woken, asked wistfully: "Did he come?"

Chen Kuang shook his head: "He left."

Outside, suddenly ground-shaking sounds echoed.

An enraged shout came from afar in the city, echoing into the cave: "Audacious! Who dares kill my Three Tribulations Sect Young Master!!! I will make them pay blood for blood!"

Qingcuo’s face changed: "The elders of Three Tribulations Sect, they’ve come!"

Chen Kuang glanced sideways, suddenly smiling: "Then let them come."

After an incredibly long night, his status finally refreshed again.

[You witnessed the conclusion of Zhou Liang’s war, half the starry river fell together, three tripod Saints mourned together, gaining the passive ’Unbroken by Divine Sight’: the greater the cultivation difference between you and the enemy, the closer you are, the faster your Spiritual Qi and body recover.]

Chen Kuang strapped the zither onto his back, gaze flickering: "I’ll divert them, you guys leave first."

Perfect, let these people help him restore blood!
