Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1232 - 146: One Attains the Dao (Part 2)

The Zen Master’s divine travel differs from that of the Master and Xiao Yaozi.

The Zen Master himself is even more unique—

After mastering the Time Dao, Life Dao, and all six Buddhist Divine Powers... he acquired the ability to alter the River of Destiny!

During my last divine travel, I received the Zen Master’s help.

However, altering the River of Destiny comes at a price.

The price the Zen Master paid was probably his own flesh, realm, soul...

This coffin is both a carrier and a seal.

The Zen Master sealed his own cause and effect.

The purpose of doing so was likely to shield the Heavenly Secret, ensuring that the karmic retribution for altering the River of Destiny would not descend upon Fan Yin Temple.

But judging by the result.

The disastrous event of Destroying Buddha still occurred a hundred years later.

"This coffin is a form of protection."

Xie Xuanyi spoke hoarsely.

"Yes..."

Chi Chanzi muttered: "The Master is saving all living beings, also saving Fan Yin Temple. As disciples, how can we sit idly by? This is why our senior brothers successively entered Red Pearl Cicada Country, choosing to burn their lives proactively."

The Zen Master chose to abandon.

They... did the same.

Abandon the opportunity to reach the pinnacle, abandon immortality, and... their remaining life.

The Zen Master burned his life entering the River of Destiny.

They burned their lives to sustain the Golden Coffin.

...

...

This is a past filled with utter despair.

The Buddhist sect made incomparable sacrifices, yet not all sacrifices are seen by people. These eleven disciples, comparable to Ancient Saints, quietly perished in Red Pearl Cicada Country. A hundred years have passed, and few remember their lives, and over time, the world will completely forget their existence.

Xie Xuanyi stood quietly before the coffin.

His expression was solemn.

The contest of great ages, three sects leading.

Da Sui Sword Palace, Taoist sect, Fan Yin Temple, all have had their own "Golden Era." But clearly, the generation from three hundred years ago was the most magnificent and glorious in the Buddhist sect’s history.

The Buddhist sect abandoned their prosperous fortune.

To reverse the great calamity for the world.

Proactively chose "decline."

The Zen Master not only possessed transcendent wisdom, means, but also unparalleled courage.

After thinking for a long time, Xie Xuanyi slowly moved his head: "Senior, I have some more questions..."

"Feel free to ask."

Chi Chanzi waved his sleeve, speaking of this past lightened his heart significantly.

"If the Zen Master had already retired and traveled divinely a hundred years ago."

Xie Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, then asked seriously: "Then in these years, the news of the Zen Master appearing in the world... was all false?"

In recent years, Fan Yin Temple has been quite low-key.

But looking back further.

The news of the Zen Master saving people with the Life Dao can be clearly verified.

Just take the recent "Ninth Prince" incident, for instance.

Over ten years ago.

The Ninth Prince successfully entered the temple, met the Zen Master, and received the Zen Master’s praise...

"Do you still remember Yuan Province two years ago?"

Chi Chanzi smiled slightly.

"You mean... Fa Cheng?"

Xie Xuanyi carefully pondered.

Back then, when Chen Chong wanted to battle the Zen Master... eventually Fa Cheng appeared, with a damaged body, wielding Buddhist Divine Power to severely injure him.

That day.

Fa Cheng said a sentence.

"I can be the Zen Master."

"But the Zen Master you wish to meet is definitely not me."

Chi Chanzi lowered his voice, word by word, revealing Fa Cheng’s original words from that day.

He said solemnly: "Although the Master departed, he left behind many ’seeds’... Traveling the River of Destiny, altering cause and effect, the Buddhist sect’s efforts over the years are gradually manifesting in this world. Like planting a sapling, as long as it is continuously watered, it will grow, and someday the sapling will grow into a giant shade covering the sky."

Xie Xuanyi vaguely understood.

He murmured: "Fa Cheng... is the seed left by the Zen Master?"

"Yes."

Chi Chanzi nodded and said: "The Zen Master left behind many seeds. Not only Fa Cheng, but also the ’Chen Chong’ who fought alongside you at Xuanbei Pass... is considered a seed."

Due to Fa Cheng.

Chen Chong promoted to Yang God, mastered the "Time Dao," and planted a seed of discord with Nalan Xuance in his heart.

The subtle lines of fate, hidden across a thousand miles.

The awaited moment is today!

"Or perhaps, Mr. Xie..."

Chi Chanzi looked at Xie Xuanyi and said with a smile, "You yourself, aren’t you also the seed left by the Master?"

The benefits that Xie Xuanyi received from the Zen Masters along the way were no less than Chen Chong’s.

In Taoyuan, he smoothly comprehended the ’Life Dao’... If this Tao Realm couldn’t be perfected, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity for ’Harmonization’...

Not to mention that one Divine Travel.

The Zen Master appeared to save his life, seemingly lightly saving the day.

But altering the River of Destiny requires a huge price.

"Yes..."

Xie Xuanyi had an inkling of understanding in his heart.

He suddenly remembered what Chi Chanzi had said earlier, the words of the Zen Master when he gave up on the promotion.

"One person’s enlightenment cannot save all living beings..."

The Zen Master didn’t just say it.

He also did it.

He walked alone in the River of Destiny, sowing the seeds to resist the great calamity.

Fa Cheng, Chen Chong, himself, Mi Yun.

All were the Master’s sacrifices that led to their growth.

And these people would become the second ’Zen Master’, the third ’Zen Master’...

"The Zen Master was never just one person."

He went round in a big circle.

Chi Chanzi returned to the main point, solving Xie Xuanyi’s doubts: "Regarding the Ninth Prince, and all the information about the Zen Master over the years... Of course, it’s all true, and the ’Zen Master’ involved in these pieces of information is not the true form. The Master has always been lying in this coffin, however, his physical body hasn’t moved, yet his soul has traveled through the ages, saving countless lives, sowing infinite causes. Over the years, fruits have gradually grown one by one; in the beginning, Fan Yin Temple tried through deduction to avoid the coming great calamity."

"Now, we have thought it through."

"Under the waves, no matter how we twist, we have to face the calamity."

Chi Chanzi paused: "Just like this time at Xuanbei Pass... Mi Yun has already prepared to sacrifice himself, and I have also prepared to leave the Red Pearl Cicada Country and fight to the death, but at the last moment, you appeared."

Cause, effect. Cause, effect.

The Zen Master stepped into the River of Destiny to prepare for these things.

The great calamity is imminent.

Wherever he could, he had long quietly set the long threads of cause and effect.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi’s expression was complex.

Earlier outside Xuanbei Pass, Mi Yun continuously thanked him.

Little did he know.

From a perspective of cause and effect, his journey to Xuanbei Pass was in repayment of the life debt incurred during that Divine Travel.

The side truly in debt wasn’t the Buddhist, but himself.

"Actually, there’s another reason why I wanted to see Mr. Xie this time..."

Chi Chanzi changed the topic.

He looked at the coffin, and said word by word: "All the senior brothers have died, leaving me the only survivor. It’s not because I’m young and can live long, nor because I have good aptitude and have promoted to become a Yang God Bodhisattva. But because... I mastered the most obscure and unpopular ’Telepathy’ among the Six Divine Powers."

"Moreover, my ’Telepathy’ is quite different from the normal ’Telepathy’ of the Buddhists."

Chi Chanzi smiled and said word by word: "Perhaps I am also a seed left by the Master. My ’Telepathy’ can penetrate the coffin, ignoring the seal, and reach the inside."

"...?"

Xie Xuanyi was stunned for a moment.

"The Master’s Divine Soul is naturally much stronger than mine. But he did not guard against me."

Chi Chanzi said: "So, it’s exactly what you think. When the Master was on his Divine Travel in the River of Destiny, I, though in the Red Pearl Cicada Country, was also considered to be on the Divine Travel together. Through ’Telepathy’, I can see what the Master sees... for the most part..."

"No wonder."

Xie Xuanyi murmured as he spoke.

From the first meeting, he felt that Chi Chanzi seemed extremely familiar with the matter of Divine Travel.

So that’s the reason.

"Twelve years ago."

"Mr. Xie fell into the North Sea, his body and Dao perished."

Chi Chanzi said word by word: "After that day, I saw a figure... frequently appearing in the scenes of the River of Destiny."

"The Master believes that one person’s enlightenment cannot save all living beings."

"Therefore, the Master chose to sacrifice himself to save the world."

"Yet this person holds a completely opposite view..."

"Even if the world is overturned and all beings are silent, it doesn’t matter."

"He only seeks one person’s enlightenment!"
