Seeing Xiao Hua studying the Buddhist jade tablet and no longer paying it any heed, the strange beast raised its two hooves as though stretching lazily, then naturally lowered its enormous body to the ground. As its massive body fell, there came a "Boom..." that spread far and wide like the earth quaking and mountains shaking. Before the rumbling tremors had even traveled far, the sound of "Snore, snore..." unexpectedly issued from the strange beast's nostrils once more!
Of course, Xiao Hua had not completely let down his guard. He kept a thread of divine sense on the beast's movements. When he saw it actually sleeping soundly, his divine sense sweeping over it revealed a faint ripple emanating from its body. The ripple was tranquil and placid. Not only did it bear no hostility toward him, even the giant trees, flowers, and grass in the nearby mountains swayed slightly along with it.
Damn it... this fellow really fell asleep? Xiao Hua might not have been able to tell whether the strange beast harbored ill intent, but the flowers and grass could distinguish the goodwill in those ripples. Even a savage strange beast that fed by devouring other strange beasts would reveal a kind side while sleeping, would it not? Yet if even the flowers and grass could acknowledge that kindness, why could Xiao Hua not?
Good and evil may lie in but a single thought, perhaps? Xiao Hua's gaze swept across the bones carpeting the ground. He slowly closed his eyes and focused on comprehending the Buddhist secret technique.
Though it was a Buddhist secret technique, it involved certain details of soul cultivation and Daoist sect cultivation, with even faint traces of Confucian cultivation within it. Even for Xiao Hua, with his Mahayana cultivation level, comprehending it was extraordinarily difficult!
