Before Ling Yun left, he had asked them why they had brought so many people to Dragon Gate Mountain.
Taoist Master Chong Xu's answer was that they were actually here to take a look.
To see what?
To see if Ling Yun was the legendary person destined to face the calamity!
Other sects might have come for revenge, profit, or to vanquish evil. However, Shaolin and Wudang only had one goal in mind.
Shaolin and Wudang had a very high status in the martial arts world. The higher their status, the more secrets they knew. Of course, they viewed things from a different perspective.
In the eyes of people like Distant Enlightenment and Chong Xu, enmity, interests, slaying evils and protecting the Dao were not worth mentioning compared to the ancient legend.
Now that Ling Yun had left, Taoist Master Chong Xu immediately asked this question to hear Zen Master Jueyuan's opinion.
Zen Master Jueyuan pondered for a long time before replying, "Amitabha, I only know that Young Benefactor Ling Yun is someone who has a deep affinity with Buddhism."
Tonight, Ling Yun smiled at the heroes of the world. Everything that he displayed shocked Zen Master Jue Yuan. However, what shocked Zen Master Jue Yuan the most wasn't Ling Yun's demonic blade, talismans, or the various items that appeared and disappeared in Ling Yun's left hand.
It was Ling Yun's Buddha nature. Zen Master Jueyuan was inexplicably shocked that a person who didn't practice Buddhism would have Buddha nature.
Moreover, that Buddha nature was very powerful even though it was very ethereal. It had a very strong influence. The more profound one's Dharma was, the easier it was to be influenced by it.
Zen Master Jueyuan only wanted to worship in front of that powerful Buddha power. How could he possibly attack Ling Yun?
This feeling reached its peak when Ling Yun took out that old gourd and poured it into his mouth!
At that time, Zen Master Jueyuan clearly felt the surging Buddha power from that old gourd. It only took a short while for his Dharma to advance by leaps and bounds!
There were nine levels in Xiantian Realm Level Nine. After receiving the surging Buddha power, Zen Master Jueyuan almost broke through to the second level of Xiantian Realm!
Zen Master Jueyuan concluded that the old gourd was a Buddhist treasure, and the owner of that gourd was Ling Yun!
That was why he said that Ling Yun had a deep affinity with Buddha.
Zen Master Jue Yuan did not answer the question, but Taoist Master Chong Xu only smiled.
After a while, Taoist Master Chong Xu said, "Before I saw Ling Yun, I thought he was from Kunlun. I didn't expect him to be."
At that moment, the two of them were naturally communicating with each other using an extremely profound Secret Voice Transmission Technique. Only the other Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect disciples could hear what they were saying, not even the other Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect disciples could hear them.
That was because the things that the two of them were talking about were too shocking.
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment did not think this time. He sighed and said, "Someone from Kunlun? To tell you the truth, I had the same thought before because Little Benefactor Ling Yun is indeed very similar. "
"Young Benefactor Ling Yun has a demonic saber and is proficient in talisman techniques. What's even more amazing is that he has a space on his body. His body is strong, his strength is strong, his movement technique is strange, and his sword technique is exquisite … All of them far surpass cultivators of the same age. In my opinion, other than his realm being low, he has no weaknesses! If such a person isn't from Kunlun, where else could he be from? "
"However, even if the people of Kunlun view human lives as insignificant, they would not casually kill the people of the Kunlun Sword Sect. The Kunlun Sword Sect would not dare to attack them … Therefore, Little Benefactor Ling Yun is definitely not from Kunlun."
Taoist Master Chong Xu could not help but nod when he heard this. He guessed, "Perhaps he's from Shushan?"
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment laughed and shook his head. "Unless there's an unparalleled demon running amok in the world, or if Huaxia is in a great calamity, the people of Shushan would not participate in the affairs of the human world."
Taoist Master Chong Xu was amused by his own thoughts. "Yes, the symbol of the people of Shushan is the sword. They would definitely not use the Devil's Blade …"
Taoist Master Chong Xu fully unleashed his imagination. "Then, isn't he the disciple of one of the secluded cultivators on Mount Zhongnan?"
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment shook his head.
Taoist Master Chong Xu slapped his forehead and pretended to be shocked. "Could he be from Penglai? Isn't that a little too ridiculous … "
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment's expression froze when he heard the words "Penglai". He frowned slightly and reminded Taoist Master Chong Xu, "Amitabha, Chong Xu, even though you and I have different cultivations and are more carefree because of your cultivation, we should know that we have to respect certain things since we've reached this realm …"
Taoist Master Chong Xu hurriedly waved his hands and chuckled. "Stop, stop, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Just pretend that I said something wrong …"
Taoist Master Distant Enlightenment stopped him from continuing. Taoist Master Chong Xu frowned again. "Not Kunlun, not Shushan, not Zhongnan, and definitely not that place … Then where did Ling Yun come from?"
Master Distant Enlightenment laughed bitterly. "You're asking me, but who am I to ask?"
Of course, Taoist Master Chong Xu knew that he would not be able to get an answer from Zen Master Jue Yuan. So, he muttered to himself, "Anyway, I don't believe that an ordinary high school student could achieve such a high level in just a few months of cultivation!"
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment laughed. "Anyway, the information that we've gathered after this trip down the mountain is the same as what we've seen tonight. I can't figure out the things that you've asked. However, there's one thing that we're certain of. "
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment and Taoist Master Chong Xu looked at each other and said in unison, "Ling Yun is a cultivator!"
Taoist Master Chong Xu guessed that Ling Yun came from Kunlun, Shushan, Zhongnan, or even Penglai because they had already confirmed that Ling Yun was a cultivator.
Daoist Chong Xu laughed bitterly. "However, we can't assume that Ling Yun is the one who is destined to face the calamity just because he's a cultivator. After all, the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor's Book have appeared one after another.
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment smiled and said, "That's why you asked to see the cauldron."
Taoist Master Chong Xu laughed awkwardly and added, "Yes, we'll talk about it after we see the Shennong Cauldron. However, even if it's really the Shennong Cauldron, it doesn't mean that Ling Yun has obtained the Earth Emperor's Book. Even though the Shennong Cauldron and the Earth Emperor's Book are related, they aren't the same thing."
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment teased, "However, if it's really the Shennong Cauldron, wouldn't Wudang have gotten a great deal?"
Taoist Master Chong Xu didn't want to be outdone. He immediately retorted, "Hehe, big monk, don't forget that you were the one who said that Ling Yun has a Buddha-nature … Shaolin has gotten a great deal too!"
Taoist Master Chong Xu felt that it wasn't enough. He continued to tease, "Unfortunately, as far as I know, Ling Yun has many beauties around him. Each of them is so beautiful that even the birds and beasts will be captivated. It's impossible for him to become a monk!"
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment saw that his words had provoked Taoist Master Chong Xu so much. He couldn't help but chant, "Amitabha, Buddha is born from the heart …"
Taoist Master Chong Xu said disdainfully, "The devil is also born from the heart!"
Hearing this, Zen Master Distant Enlightenment sighed in his heart and said no more.
Taoist Master Chong Xu was also silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed faintly and said, "It's been many years since someone who cultivates Buddhism, Taoism, and the devil appeared. Now there's another one. Is it a blessing for Huaxia or a disaster for Huaxia?"
Zen Master Chong Xu looked up at the battlefield after the battle. His eyes swept over the corpses of the martial arts masters. He looked sad and solemn. He said mercifully, "It's the destiny to face the calamity … It's the destiny to face the calamity!"
Taoist Master Chong Xu was moved when he heard this.
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment's lips moved, and his chanting went from low to high. Gradually, it resounded throughout the top of Longmen Mountain like a huge bell. A faint Buddha's light began to appear on Zen Master Distant Enlightenment's kasaya. Then, it became stronger and stronger. It was even brighter than the moonlight. The top of Longmen Mountain was instantly illuminated by the Buddha's light!
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment was chanting the Lotus Reincarnation Scripture. The voice that came out of his mouth seemed to turn into a substance. It turned into pale golden lotuses that landed on the bodies of the martial arts masters.
Those martial arts masters, whose faces and eyes were filled with fear, ferocity, unwillingness, or resentment because they were facing death, gradually calmed down and their faces became serene. It was as if they had really gone to the Elysium.
After he finished chanting the last word of the scripture, the Buddha's light on Zen Master Distant Enlightenment intensified. He stepped into the Second Firmament of Xiantian Realm Level Nine!
Taoist Master Chong Xu was dumbfounded. His face was filled with shock and envy. Finally, he bowed to Zen Master Jueyuan and said with a serious expression, "Great Master Jueyuan is a merciful man. Chong Xu can only sigh at his inferiority! It's a joyous occasion to break through the realm tonight. "
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment remained calm even though he had broken through the first Firmament. He returned the bow and said, "So, after reaching the Xiantian Realm Level Nine, it's not about practice but comprehension."
Taoist Master Chong Xu was stunned. Then, he said happily, "Thank you for the reminder, Zen Master."
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment smiled and said, "I have to thank Young Benefactor Ling Yun for being able to break through the first Firmament."
Of course, Zen Master Distant Enlightenment wasn't thanking Ling Yun for killing so many people. He was thanking Ling Yun for taking out the worn-out gourd.
Taoist Master Chong Xu asked, "What shall we do next?"
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment said, "Shaolin will definitely bury the bodies of those on the peak of Longmen Mountain. After tonight, I will personally pay a visit to Ling Yun's residence."
Taoist Master Chong Xu asked, "Master, is there anything else you need from Ling Yun? Is it about Mieqing and Master Xingchi? "
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment said, "That matter needs an explanation. It can be considered as closure."
Taoist Master Chong Xu smiled. "Why didn't you ask just now?"
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment answered, "It's not the right time or place."
Taoist Master Chong Xu suggested, "I'm going to look for Ling Yun to see the bronze cauldron. Shall we go together?"
Zen Master Distant Enlightenment nodded. "That's what I was thinking."
Hence, Ling Yun killed people while Shaolin and Wudang helped him clean up the battlefield and bury the bodies.

PS: Chapter 1001. This chapter is very important, so it's very difficult to write. From now on, Ling Yun's legendary journey of cultivation will officially begin. Please look forward to it! (To be continued.)
