With the help of the Spring Breeze Healing Technique, everyone quickly recovered.
Chu Kuangren stood in the air and was about to land when he suddenly sensed something and looked in the direction of the Ancient Battlefield.
His gaze pierced through the sea of clouds and saw a white-robed figure standing on a sand dune in the Ancient Battlefield.
That white-robed figure held a spear in his hand and wore a ferocious mask on his face. His pitch-black eyes were staring at Chu Kuangren.
"The White-Robed General?"
Chu Kuangren frowned. Why did he see this person again?
Then, he saw the White-Robed General put down his spear and bowed in his direction. It was as if he was thanking Chu Kuangren or bidding farewell to the million tormented souls.
Chu Kuangren was stunned. What was he doing now?
Just when he was about to chase after him and ask, the White-Robed General lifted his spear and disappeared into the sandstorm.
"Is this guy related to the million tormented souls? Could he be from the Tranquil Kingdom? "Chu Kuangren pondered.
The million-strong Tormented Army was formed from the Tranquil Kingdom's army. Could the White-Robed General be a general of the Tranquil Kingdom?
Otherwise, why would the tormented souls express their gratitude to him when he released them from purgatory?
The more Chu Kuangren thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
However, there might be other secrets that he did not know about. Without thinking too much, he retracted his spiritual power and returned to the ground.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master, Wu Ye, and Leng Changkong walked up to him.
"The Horizon Wing Sect Master greets the Sect Master!"
"Wu Ye greets Brother Chu."
The few of them bowed to him.
Chu Kuangren smiled. "There's no need to be so polite."
He then looked at Leng Changkong, only to see the latter smiling bitterly at him. "Brother Chu, you've kept me in the dark for a long time."
"Changkong, don't be rude."
The Horizon Wing Sect Master scolded him.
Leng Changkong regained his senses. Since his own Sect Master addressed Chu Kuangren as Sect Leader, it was against the rules for him to address Chu Kuangren as a fellow Daoist.
He straightened his expression. "Changkong greets Sect Leader."
"There's no need to be so polite, Brother Leng," Chu Kuangren said.
Then, the few of them began to clean up the battlefield.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master could not conceal the sorrow in his eyes as he looked at the cultivators of the Horizon Wing Sect who had died in battle. "They were all great men of my Horizon Wing Sect!"
"Let this little monk help them ascend from the heavens."
Wu Ye sighed and sat on the spot. A faint Buddhist light emanated from his body as he chanted a scripture.
A sacred and peaceful aura spread out.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Wu Ye went to look for Chu Kuangren with an intense interest in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you a Buddhist cultivator?"
"Master, you must be joking. I'm the Black Heaven Sect Leader, how could I be a Buddhist cultivator?" Chu Kuangren shook his head and laughed.
"This is impossible." Wu Ye shook his head firmly. "If he was not a Buddhist cultivator, how could he have such a Buddhist light? That kind of Buddhist light is something that I, and even the abbot of my Thunder Temple, cannot compare to."
"That's just a cultivation technique. It can't prove anything."
"Without the support of the Buddhist Dharma, any Buddhist technique will not be able to display much power. Fellow Chu's body is filled with Buddhist light, indicating that he has a deep understanding of that technique. Similarly, Fellow Chu's attainments in the Buddhist Dharma should also be at the peak," Wu Ye said with certainty.
From this, it was clear that Chu Kuangren was a Buddhist cultivator!
Chu Kuangren was a little speechless.
He had obtained the Tathagata Rebirth Scripture from the gacha roll, so he did not need to learn any Buddhist Dharma at all.
However, he did not bother to explain too much.
Seeing that Chu Kuangren was silent, Wu Ye was even more certain that Chu Kuangren was a Buddhist cultivator with a deep understanding of Buddhism.
With respect in his eyes, he said, "Brother Chu, I've come to the Ancient Battlefield because this place has the heaviest amount of resentment. I wish to purge these tormented souls and take the opportunity to learn Buddhist Dharma. I've been stuck at this bottleneck for many years, so I hope Brother Chu can guide me."
Chu Kuangren was dumbfounded.
Guide him?
His understanding of Buddhism was limited to some famous sayings and movies that he had seen in his previous life.
"You're too kind, Master. My understanding of Buddhist Dharma is very shallow, so I'm afraid I'm asking the wrong person."
"There's no need to be humble, Brother Chu. Please enlighten me."
Wu Ye was still looking at Chu Kuangren expectantly.
He was too eager to break through.
He was a dignified Buddhist Disciple, the leader of the younger generation of Buddhism, and was known as the most intelligent person in the Thunder Temple in the past thousand years.
However, the world did not know that his Buddhist Dharma attainment had long been stuck at a bottleneck, and he could not improve at all. This troubled him greatly.
For so many years, in order to break through the bottleneck of Buddhist Dharma, he had gone through all the Buddhist scriptures in the Thunder Temple and memorized them by heart. However, the results were minimal, and he still could not break through.
Just now, when he saw Chu Kuangren's magnificent Buddhist Light and the towering golden ancient Buddha, he seemed to have seen hope.
Perhaps this person could help him.
Chu Kuangren looked at Wu Ye's stubborn look and felt a headache coming on.
'Forget it.
'I'll just say a few words.'
He said, "See through, let go, be free."
Those six short words set off a storm in Wu Ye's mind.
"See through …"
"Let go …"
"Be free …"
It was just six words, but they contained all the essence of Buddhism within them.
Even a Buddhist Disciple like Wu Ye found it difficult to understand the mystery within, but somehow, he seemed to have grasped something.
"See through … Let go … Be free!"
Wu Ye kept murmuring as his gaze kept changing.
What to see through, what to let go, how to be free?!
As Wu Ye continued to comprehend, his face gradually became a little crazed. Even the spiritual power on his body began to fluctuate violently.
"Not good, he's going to go berserk."
Beside him, the Horizon Wing Sect Master suddenly exclaimed.
He felt his scalp go numb.
Those six short words had caused a Buddhist Disciple to think so hard and even show signs of going berserk. That was too terrifying.
"Why don't I feel anything?"
Leng Changkong was puzzled. He had also heard those six short words from Chu Kuangren, but nothing happened to him.
"You're different from the Buddhist Disciple. Those six short words contain countless essences of Buddhism. You don't know Buddhist Dharma, so naturally, you won't understand the mystery within. However, the Buddhist Disciple has been reading Buddhist scriptures since he was young, and his Buddhist Dharma cultivation is extremely high. That's why he's like this."
The Horizon Wing Sect Master said in a serious tone.
Leng Changkong was confused.
In other words, he knew very little, which was why he was fine.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master looked at Chu Kuangren solemnly and said with a trembling voice, "I didn't expect Sect Leader to have such profound attainments in Buddhist Dharma. Those six short words contain the essence of Buddhism, causing a Buddhist Disciple to be unable to comprehend them."
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"You don't have enough comprehension, so of course you don't understand."
The corner of Leng Changkong's mouth twitched.
Alright, this was the first time someone called him stupid, and he could not refute it.
"Sect Leader, I'm afraid the Buddhist Disciple will go berserk if this goes on. What should we do now?" the Horizon Wing Sect Master asked anxiously.
He looked at Chu Kuangren, who was calm as if nothing had happened, and his heart was filled with endless admiration.
The Sect Leader was indeed the Sect Leader, to be able to remain calm under such circumstances.
"It seems that I still have a lot to learn." The Horizon Wing Sect Master sighed.
