Third Young Master Bai's expression darkened. He had not expected this bald monk to possess such a trump card.
Palm leaves held an extraordinarily special status and significance in the history of Buddhism. Many of the earliest Buddhist scriptures, doctrines, and even Divine Abilities, Martial Arts, and Secret Techniques had been recorded upon palm leaves, passed down through generations, forming an independent and complete system.
In the Ancient Times, many had even regarded palm leaves as the handiwork of gods.
Palm leaves also carried the meaning of transmission in Buddhism. Before entering nirvana, many eminent monks and virtuous masters would pour their lifetime of Buddhist Dharma cultivation into palm leaves. This continued generation after generation, eventually forming the Sacred Sutra of Palm Leaves, which possessed inconceivable power.
Palm leaves came in different varieties: Dao-Carrying Palm Leaves, Consecration Palm Leaves, Scripture-Transmitting Palm Leaves, and so on.
Third Young Master Bai estimated that Monk Cheng Kong's palm leaf had likely been a sacred relic of some Buddhist branch. Generations of eminent monks and virtuous masters had poured their Buddhist Dharma cultivation into it, which was why it possessed such unfathomable divine power.
As for those twenty-two beams of Prajna Buddha Light, they had clearly been transformed from the Buddhist Dharma power contained within that palm leaf. They represented the inheritance of twenty-two generations of eminent monks. Monk Cheng Kong was likely the twenty-third-generation successor, or perhaps even later.
With such a sacred relic, coupled with Buddhist Dharma cultivation that could shake heaven and make ghosts weep, neutralizing the poison of Weak Water was only natural.
After Monk Cheng Kong revealed his divine trump card, Yu Daoist silently glanced toward the Town Evil Golden Hall, then reached back and patted the broadsword on his back.
A crisp and pleasant sword hum rang out.
