"Who is this person? Why would this Dao-corruption actually fear him?!"
"This aura... it's the aura of Transcendence. Is he a transcendent?! No, he's clearly only a Golden Immortal."
Most of the eminent monks of the Glazed Land seated on the petals of the Merit Golden Lotus were Golden Immortal-level experts, and there was no shortage of Great Encompassment cultivators among them.
According to Buddhism's five ranks of attainment, quite a few of these eminent monks were Bodhisattva-level beings.
Yet now, they looked at Chu Kuangren with faces full of wonder and astonishment.
They had suppressed Vulture Peak's Dao-corruption for countless years and had never seen it fear anything. Even against Dao Integration cultivators, it would swarm forward.
Yet before Chu Kuangren, a mere Golden Immortal, it could not flee fast enough, as though it had encountered its natural enemy!
This left them utterly baffled.
On the Merit Golden Lotus, an old monk whose Buddha Light shone brightest looked at Chu Kuangren with a profound gaze. Countless Sanskrit characters seemed to flow through his eyes.
He seemed to be divining Chu Kuangren's fate, but obtained nothing.
He knew that if he delved any deeper, he might touch upon some taboo existence that absolutely must not be touched. Thus, he closed his eyes, not daring to probe further.
When he opened his eyes again, he looked at Chu Kuangren, his features kind and his manner exceedingly gentle. "May I ask your name, young friend?"
"Chu Kuangren."
"Fellow Daoist Chu, where did you study?"
"The Hundred Schools Academy."
"So you're from the Academy. This old monk is Jianxing. Greetings."
Jianxing smiled with his palms pressed together.
Chu Kuangren was also analyzing him, and the result made him click his tongue in wonder. The monk was actually a Dao Integration Realm cultivator!!
