Great Sage Sacred Heart
Inside and outside Treasure Elephant Temple, all the monks raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the Buddhist chanting came.
A group of old monks descended from the sky, and at the very back of the procession, five King and Marquis carried a golden Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue is seated beneath a five-colored lotus flower.
The group did not walk very fast, but wherever they went, there were five-colored clouds of Buddha.
In an instant, Buddhist clouds filled the sky above the Precious Elephant Kingdom, and the previously anxious believers in the city knelt down and worshipped the golden Buddha statue in the sky.
Upon seeing this, the Great Sage Blazing Sun frowned subconsciously and threw away the Great Sage Grand Vow in his hand.
"A five-colored lotus flower... There's actually an old monk at the Saint Realm in this Buddha Hidden Temple?"
The Great Sage Mountain-Mover shook his head. "It shouldn't be, but I have heard a rumor that there is a Great Sage named Sacred Heart in the Buddha Hidden Temple."
Hundreds of years ago, they were already capable of attaining sainthood and were guided to the Great Thunderclap Temple for cultivation.
However, that Great Sage Sacred Heart said that as long as the people of the Precious Elephant Kingdom do not turn to Buddhism, they will not be able to attain Buddhahood and break through to the Saint Realm.
Presumably, the golden Buddha statue contains that Great Sage Sacred Heart.
He spoke softly, but everyone in Treasure Elephant Temple could hear him clearly.
Upon hearing this, Faxiang and the others all showed excitement, and the dejection and insecurity in their eyes disappeared without a trace.
Nie Xiuyuan and his group showed no change in expression. They were not unfamiliar with Great Sage, and even if the other party could become a Buddha at any moment, they firmly believed that their master was the strongest Great Sage in the world.
The surrounding onlookers erupted in a lively discussion, as if a pot had been boiled over.
"I never expected that Nie Xiuyuan would actually alarm the Great Sage Sacred Heart this time. It seems that his path has come to an end."
"Yes, it is a great loss to the Profound Heaven Continent that such a prodigy has perished here."
"..."
At the same time, a group of monks slowly appeared in the sky above Treasure Elephant Temple. The leading old monk spoke, "The Great Sage Sacred Heart arrived; all beings welcome him!"
Apart from the people from the Dao-Seeking Academy, all the other cultivators present knelt down and bowed in worship.
We pay our respects to the Great Sage Sacred Heart.
No need for formalities.
An old, weak voice came from the golden Buddha statue.
Even though his voice gave the impression that he would die if he said another word, it was still his voice.
But no one present dared to underestimate this Great Sage Sacred Heart, for they all knew that he might instantly attain Buddhahood and enter the Saint Realm.
"Thank you Great Sage Sacred Heart!"
The Great Sage Blazing Sun did not deliberately probe, but turned to ask, "Fellow Daoist Mountain-Mover, it seems that we must join forces for a battle today."
The Great Sage Mountain-Mover shook his head. "Senior Sister, I am not worthy. However, just because the Buddha Hidden Temple can send people doesn't mean we can't."
Upon hearing Great Sage Blazing Sun paused for a moment, looking at the old man with astonishment. "I never expected that someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes like you would be such a coward. I really don't know how the Dean chose you to be Xiao Chen's protector."
The Great Sage Mountain-Mover smiled and said, "It is precisely because I, your junior brother, know how to assess the situation that the Dean entrusted this matter to me."
"Snort!"
The Great Sage Blazing Sun snorted coldly, ignoring the Great Sage Mountain-Mover, who secretly crushed a jade talisman with his divine sense.
Treasure Elephant Temple, Nie Xiuyuan stood tall and looked at the Buddha statue in the sky, saying, "Are you the culprits who wiped out my Nie Clan?"
"How dare you!"
Upon hearing this, an old monk immediately rebuked him angrily. "How dare you, a mere child, spout such nonsense before the Great Sage Sacred Heart! If the Great Sage wanted to destroy your Nie Clan, how could you have survived to this day?"
"Amitabha."
After a long chant came from within the golden Buddha statue, the voice of the Great Sage Sacred Heart rang out once more.
"Xiuyuan, I am aware of this matter and understand the bitterness and hatred in your heart. As the saying goes, it is better to make enemies than to make them. If you let go of your obsessions and take refuge in Buddhism, I am willing to accept you as my disciple and punish Faxiang, Golden Wheel King, and others."
Upon hearing this, Faxiang and the others' expressions changed drastically. They had thought that the Great Sage Sacred Heart would become their patron.
To everyone's utter surprise, the Great Sage Sacred Heart actually wanted to take Nie Xiuyuan as his disciple. If Nie Xiuyuan agreed, wouldn't all of them be doomed?
"Snort!"
Nie Xiuyuan snorted coldly, "It's all talk and no action. If the massacre of my Nie Clan is to be forgiven so easily, then I, Nie Xiuyuan, would be unworthy of being a son, let alone breaking through my inner demons and achieving true Xiaoyao and liberation."
Today, I, Nie Xiuyuan, have come here for only three things: first, revenge; second, revenge; and third, revenge!
Upon hearing these words, Faxiang and his group's fear vanished instantly, and their eyes were filled with mockery as they looked at Nie Xiuyuan.
hiss...
The onlookers gasped in astonishment.
They never expected that Nie Xiuyuan's desire for revenge would be so unwavering, remaining unmoved even when facing a Great Sage who could instantly attain Buddhahood.
The experts from the Precious Elephant Kingdom thought to themselves: This boy must not be allowed to live!
If it weren't for the Great Sage Sacred Heart, they would have all killed this guy.
"Amitabha."
The Great Sage Sacred Heart was not angry. He said calmly, "Xiuyuan, your murderous intent is too strong. Let this old monk remove the murderous intent from your heart, and then you can take refuge in Buddhism."
He wasn't truly stingy with talent; rather, he wanted to give the world an explanation.
After all, the most important thing for a Buddhist holy site is its reputation.
Having said that, the Great Sage Sacred Heart turned his gaze to the two Great Sage, Jiaoyang and Mountain-Mover, and said, "You two fellow Daoists don't mind if this old monk takes Xiuyuan back, do you?"
Just as the Great Sage Blazing Sun was about to speak, the Great Sage Mountain-Mover spoke up first, saying, "If the Great Sage Sacred Heart can do it, please give it a try. However, I must remind you, Senior, that Xiuyuan Nephew Xiuyuan is not someone that can be taken away by just anyone."
The Great Sage Sacred Heart laughed and said, "I can take away any living being below the level of Saint. Since you two are not going to stop me, let's just wait and see."
Before the words were finished, a slow and deliberate voice suddenly came from the sky.
"You have quite the audacity! Today, I'll see just how capable you are of taking my disciple away!"
These words shocked everyone present!
Are there more experts?
How come we didn't notice the presence of that expert?
Filled with doubt, everyone, including the Great Sage Sacred Heart, looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A man dressed in pristine white, waving a folding fan, and exuding extraordinary elegance, appeared as if stepping through the air.
Upon recognizing the newcomers, Nie Xiuyuan and the others knelt down in unison, saying, "We pay our respects to our Master!"
The newcomer was Chu Feng. After twirling his fan, he said calmly, "No need for formalities."
The Great Sage Sacred Heart within the golden Buddha looked at the man before him and subconsciously asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, fellow Daoist?"
