#292 - Undercurrent

The duel between Zongwang Academy and Dahe Sword Sect came to an end.

The Zongwang Academy, which had been in decline for thousands of years, was destined to become famous from this day forward.

Although the Zongwang Academy was sparsely populated, with only a few people up and down the sect.

But people firmly remembered a name.

Jun Wuxie, the disciple of the Military Saint!

On the day of the duel, this young man swept away the strong, single-handedly killing two Zongwangs in the Starry Sky Realm and slaughtering the Dahe Sword Sect!

The people who came to watch the battle dispersed one after another.

Some people looked at the dilapidated Dahe Sword Sect and, although they felt that this sect deserved such an ending, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Although the Dahe Sword Sect was only a middle-level force, it had been passed down for thousands of years, but it was destroyed today.

The originally prosperous sect is now dilapidated, without a trace of vitality. Among the collapsed peaks and broken trees, there are visible blood stains, and the broken bones are shocking.

Obviously, the former Sword Sect is now a dead place filled with a bloody smell and a bit of gloomy air!

People from various forces left the Dahe Sword Sect one after another.

A strong man from the Nan family in Yunling stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the devastated Dahe Sword Sect, and said to Monk Huikong not far away: "Master, what do you think?"

"Amitabha!" Huikong put his hands together, his face full of compassion and solemnity, and said: "We monks are compassionate, how can we see such a bloody scene. But I am a poor monk with shallow Buddhist Dharma, and it is difficult to subdue demons. Even if I have great compassion, I am unable to save these innocent benefactors of the Dahe Sword Sect. As for opinions, the opposition between Buddha and demons has always been the case. This time, I will return to the Great Vatican Zen Sect in the Western Desert, and I will report this matter in detail to the eminent monks of my sect, and discuss the matter of subduing demons in detail."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the strong man from the Nan family in Yunling, and said: "Master, what do you think should be done with this demon?"

Huikong lowered his eyebrows and said: "I have heard that your family has a deep hatred with that demon, but I think, you and your family, don't be too obsessed. Hatred lingers in your heart, I am afraid it will blind your mind, why not change the way and let go of this hatred."

"Oh?" The strong man from the Nan family in Yunling raised a strange arc at the corner of his mouth and said: "I would like to hear the master's opinion. How should this kind of hatred be let go?"

"Outside of Buddhism, all living beings are entangled in karma. If they have an epiphany one day, they can all become Buddhas. Although Jun Wuxie has fallen into the demonic path and is entangled in sin, he is still a life after all. We Buddhists should uphold the heart of compassion and use Buddhism to influence him, to guide him into the empty gate, to bathe in Buddhism, to wash away his sins, and to repent for the rest of his life. Under the influence of my Buddhism, he may do good deeds and save people in the future, to make up for the sins he committed today…"

"In this way, your sect not only believes that the girl named Yue Yao beside the boy surnamed Jun is destined for Buddha, but Jun Wuxie is now also destined for Buddha."

"Amitabha!"

Huikong proclaimed the Buddha's name.

"Hahahaha!"

The strong man from the Nan family in Yunling laughed and left.

Leaving Huikong with a receding back.

Huikong looked at his back, and a strange color that was difficult to figure out flashed in his compassionate eyes.

"The monks of the World Honored Sect are really addicted to collecting Buddha slaves?"

The strong man from the Nan family in Yunling sneered in his heart, the Nan family in Yunling was determined to take Jun Wuxie's life.

Just wait for the young master to leave the customs, and it will be the death of Jun Wuxie!

"Well, what my Nan family lacks is just a semi-holy-level town clan weapon! This time, if the young master can make the ancestral weapon transform, and be among the masters, my Yunling Nan family will have a place!"

He muttered to himself like this, his face full of confidence, and as he moved his steps, the mountains and rivers quickly receded under his feet, gradually disappearing into the end of the world.

At this time, on a mountain near the Dahe Sword Sect, two middle-aged men looked in the direction of the capital, and one of them said to the other: "Great Protector, this Jun Wuxie is a rising star with terrible potential."

The middle-aged man in the position of protector said lightly: "This son's potential cannot be underestimated. Now that the golden age is quietly coming, talents are emerging in the world, competing for the luck of this prosperous age. This son has the protection of the Military Saint, so he is a strong opponent. It's just a pity that he started too low, and he will only become a pile of dead bones on the road to the glory of the prosperous age."

"What the Protector said is true. Although this son's growth talent is extremely high, compared with the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of my Holy Gate, I am afraid he is still inferior. Now, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden should both be breaking through to the Zongwang realm, right?"

"The Holy Son and Holy Maiden have extraordinary talents. If they only want to break through the realm, I am afraid they have already entered the Zongwang realm. They are just deliberately suppressing the realm."

"Why?"

"Because the Holy Son and Holy Maiden want to improve their growth talent before the Zongwang realm, and step into the realm that no one has stepped into for tens of thousands of years. However, this is not easy. Even with their bloodline potential, they still need to wait for an opportunity, a chance."

"The opportunity that the Protector is talking about, is it the Golden Scale Secret Realm that occasionally appears in the golden age of certain epochs in the legend?"

"That's right. According to the ancient secrets mastered by our Holy Gate, judging from its laws, the Golden Scale Secret Realm may reappear in this world, but I don't know how long we still need to wait, but I think it will be within the next year or two. As the saying goes, golden scales are not things in the pond, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds!"

Speaking of this, the Holy Gate Protector said lightly: "Forces above the quasi-master level, the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of all generations, began to go out to practice when they were in their teens, but in these years, how many Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of forces have you heard of traveling the world?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and said: "That's true. Except for the Little Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Sect who recently left the sect, and the Holy Maiden Yan Ruyu of the Charming Pupil Clan who occasionally sends out some news, the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the other forces have not heard any news. What the Protector means is… they are also like our Holy Gate, and have intentionally hidden the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens in these years?"

"That's right." The Holy Gate Protector nodded and said: "The current world is different from the past, but all forces above the quasi-master level have a lot of understanding of the ancient secrets, and they must have calculated that the Golden Scale Secret Realm will be opened in this world. Before the Zongwang realm, the higher the growth talent, the higher the upper limit will be in the future, and once you step into the Zongwang realm, the Zongwang realm you possess will be stronger!"

"Therefore, everyone tacitly cultivates their strongest successors, waiting for the opening of the Golden Scale Secret Realm. And the birth of the Golden Scale Secret Realm will also mean that the golden age will be completely opened. Before this, very few people are willing to let their strongest successors show up, and they are all afraid that the successors will die unexpectedly. The Medicine King Sect not only has a Little Holy Maiden, but the stronger successors are probably well protected in the sect. As for the Charming Pupil Clan, have you ever heard any news about their Holy Son?"

"So, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden will encounter many powerful enemies in the future?"

"There are many competitors, but many powerful enemies should not be considered. The successors of other master-level strengths will not be the opponents of the successors of my Holy Gate, otherwise they would not be so concerned about the disciple of the Military Saint. Obviously, they lack confidence and want to befriend him and add a trump card to themselves in the future torrent of the prosperous age. On the contrary, the successors cultivated by some extremely powerful casual cultivator holy sects may be more dangerous!"

"The successors of the casual cultivator holy sects?"

The Holy Gate Protector narrowed his eyes and said, "You should know Xiao Tianming of the Xiao clan."

"I know, that Destiny, the person favored by heaven, who was given the Destiny Bloodline! This person is very strong. A few years ago, I heard that he had stepped into the early stage of the Eternal King realm!"

The Holy Gate Protector said: "I once heard the elders in charge of the sect talk about it. Once the Destiny appears in the world, there will not be only one, and it is very likely that there will be nine! Among the nine, only one is the true Son of Destiny, and the other eight are secretly fulfilling that one. Therefore, who the other eight Sons of Destiny are is still a mystery. They are hiding very deeply, which is the most terrifying thing."

"This…"

"Okay, this Protector has said a bit too much today. This matter must never be discussed in front of others, remember!"

"Yes, Protector, don't worry, I have remembered it!"

"Let's go, let's go to the capital for a few days and see which forces want to express goodwill to the disciple of the Military Saint."

After the Holy Gate Protector finished speaking, he flew away into the air.
