When the strong practitioners had wrestled back then, the disk containing Youdu Ming Hua had been destroyed, and everyone in the Sacred Fire Sacrifice on the disk had met with misfortune.
Long Ye and Heavenly Wolf Great Sage were fine. With the replenishment of the essence of the cloud forest tree, they could protect themselves.
However, the strong practitioners of the human race were caught in the crossfire. Their essence, qi, and spirit were burned by the Sacred Fire Sacrifice, and their primordial spirits were on the verge of collapsing.
Even if they were left alone, if they didn't receive treatment in time, they might perish on their own, not to mention the imminent disaster of the disk collapsing.
When Lin Feng saw the situation, he took the opportunity when the others were fighting for Youdu Ming Hua to save Monk Dade, King Anliang Shi Zongyue, and Dao Venerable Xing Dou.
Sword Venerable Guan Chong was also saved by the sect master of Mount Shu Sword Sect, Xin Longsheng.
However, just saving them was useless. These people were still in an extremely dangerous state, on the verge of perishing.
Lin Feng could only temporarily use the Heavenly Cycle Purple Qi to maintain their primordial spirits, so they wouldn't perish immediately.
He first came to Monk Dade, and the old monk sat cross-legged with a mudra. His expression was serene and calm, and his skin was covered in a layer of faint gold. He was like a buddha statue, but this buddha statue was covered in cracks as though it could shatter at any time.
Monk Dade opened his eyes, and when he saw Lin Feng, he smiled slightly. "My buddha is merciful, you must be the master of Profound Gate, right? It's my fortune to meet you today, it can be considered fate. This poor monk greets you."
Lin Feng looked at him and asked, "From Master's tone, you seem to have known me before today?"
Monk Dade said with a smile, "The influence of the master of Profound Gate is like thunder piercing the ears in the Divine Land today. Even though this poor monk is an outsider, I've also heard of you before. However, just as the master of Profound Gate had said, before your name had spread far and wide, this poor monk had already heard of your name."
Lin Feng revealed a faint smile. "In the past, I've met two disciples of Great Thunderclap Monastery. One was called Huikong, and the other was Huiku, I wonder how they are related to Master?"
Monk Dade nodded his head. "This poor monk had met Huikong before, and he had mentioned you before."
"That little monk Hui Kong is still searching for Sarira?" Lin Feng calmly asked. Zen Master Dade replied, "That's right. He is a sincere person and has never given up."
Lin Feng's expression did not change as he said, "If you can contact him, tell him that I have found the twenty-four relics that Hui Ku lost in the past and sent them back to the pagoda forest at the back of the Great Thunderclap Temple for burial."
Zen Master Dade, who had always been calm and collected, was also stunned at this moment. His eyes revealed a pleasantly surprised expression as he looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded and continued, "Not only the 24 relics, but also the relics left behind by an eminent monk who cultivated the Unmoving Rulai Sutra. They fell into the hands of the cultivators of the Tianchi Sect and were later obtained by me. I have also sent them back to the Great Leiyin Temple for burial."
He opened his palm, and the sixteen relics were laid out peacefully. "The sixteen relics carried by the monk Yuan Xiang that you chased this time are also here. I originally planned to send them back to the ruins of the Great Thunderclap Monastery."
"We have arrived." As he spoke, Yujing Mountain escaped from the void. With a sweep of his mana, Lin Feng brought Zen Master Dade to the mountain range where the Great Thunderclap Monastery used to be.
Zen Master Dade looked at the ruins of the Great Thunderclap Monastery and the relics in Lin Feng's palm. He was in a daze and did not speak.
Lin Feng held the relics and looked at Zen Master Dade. He said, "In order to prevent the power of the relics from fluctuating, I have sealed them with my own mana. Since you are here now, it is not convenient for me to overstep my boundaries. I will leave it to you to deal with."
Zen Master Dade put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice. "Buddha is merciful. The relics can return to the Thunderclap Pure Land all thanks to the Master of Daoist Xuanmen. I am the one who should not overstep my boundaries. Please complete this merit, Master."
Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand. A large hole strangely appeared in the ground. After he threw the relics in, a system notification rang in his ear.
"Sixteen relics have returned to the Great Thunderclap Monastery's Pure Land of Bliss with the help of the host. Return to Bliss side mission completion rate 16/1988. Host has received a buddhist scripture as a reward."
Lin Feng was startled. "Is it because the difficulty of this mission is too high? As long as I return a portion of the relics, I can receive a reward? "
No matter what, to be able to receive a reward, Lin Feng was still very happy. He opened the gift bag and saw a buddhist scripture of the Subodhi Sutra.
"Oh, this is a buddhist scripture. It is about the same level as the Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Art of Acala, but it is lower than the Five Direction Buddha Sutra." Lin Feng glanced at it and knew that this Subodhi Sutra was also a buddhist scripture of the Great Thunderclap Monastery.
Among the buddhist scriptures of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, the Five Direction Buddha Sutra was the highest. Other than that, there were other buddhist scriptures. The Art of Acala and the Subodhi Sutra were the best of the best.
To the current Lin Feng, the Subodhi Sutra wasn't very useful. Among the buddhist scriptures, only the Five Direction Buddha Sutra could give him help and reference. Buddhist scriptures of the level of the Subodhi Sutra could only be used to fill up the library.
But what made Lin Feng pay more attention was that this Subodhi Sutra was the complete version. From the general outline to all the scriptures and even combat techniques, it had everything.
"I've sent 16 relics back this time, and the system rewarded me with a Subodhi Sutra. What if I collect 160 relics and send them back for burial? Would I be rewarded with a Buddha Sutra? "
Lin Feng thought to himself, "Or is it that after accumulating to a certain level, the rewards will get better and better?"
While thinking, Lin Feng turned to look at Zen Master Dade. He formed a spell and refined a cloud forest tree, turning it into a ball of white light that wasn't dazzling but was incomparably thick. Lin Feng extracted large amounts of essence energy from this ball of white light and injected it into Zen Master Dade's body.
Zen Master Dade was startled but didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and accepted Lin Feng's good intentions, focusing on refining this vast amount of spiritual energy.
The cracks on the surface of his body that were like spiderwebs were quickly repaired. The golden buddhist light on his body became stronger and stronger until it gradually turned back into a golden buddha, emitting boundless light.
Lin Feng looked at the golden buddha in front of him. He saw eight peacocks lifting up his body, his right hand holding a lotus and his left hand holding a bell. His expression was emotionless and his entire body was emitting light, emitting boundless light.
"Is this the Golden Body of Buddhism condensed from the Boundless Light Rulai Scripture to form an Essence Soul?" Lin Feng's gaze flickered as he looked at the golden buddha Silently. He saw the buddhist light on the buddha's body gradually change, the golden color slowly fading away, leaving behind only the purest, most original light.
Just by looking at this golden buddha and feeling the concept of power within, then referring to the Great Light Mantra of the Buddha Sutra of Infinite Light that he had grasped, Lin Feng felt that he had actually slowly figured out the true meaning of the Amitabha Sutra of the Buddha Sutra of Infinite Light.
After a long while, Zen Master Dade dispersed the Golden Buddha Golden Body and returned to his original appearance. His complexion was no longer ashen like before, but he still appeared weak.
He didn't obtain the entire cloud forest tree like Long Ye and the Heavenly Wolf Great Sage, but the essence energy he obtained was already enough for him to stabilize his Golden Primordial Spirit.
"Thank you, Master of Xuan Gate, for lending a helping hand." Zen Master Dade put his palms together and sincerely thanked Lin Feng, "I am even more grateful to Master of Xuan Gate for helping the relics of my Buddhist seniors return to the Pure Land of Great Thunderclap."
Lin Feng Silently said, "Master, no need to be so courteous. Reborn in Pure Land, those who are sleeping in peace should not be disturbed again. I passed by your temple's ruined pagoda forest earlier and felt something. I have already decided to search for the lost relics of your temple and send them back to the Great Thunderclap Temple for burial."
"If I have any gains in the future, I will send them back to the Great Thunderclap Temple for burial."
Hearing this, Zen Master Dade nodded repeatedly, "Master of Xuan Gate's virtue is immeasurable, this poor monk is endlessly grateful."
He looked around, looking at the ruined temple that had already turned into ruins and sighed, "When a person dies, the lamp goes out, entering reincarnation once again is just another cultivation. The body is just a stinky bag, it's just what it looks like."
"This poor monk always comforts himself like this, but when I think of the relics of the Buddhist seniors being desecrated by others, I can't bear it. After all, my cultivation is still not enough."
Lin Feng smiled faintly, "To see one's nature, to discern one's true self, the bag can be empty, but it can also not be empty."
Zen Master Dade also smiled, "Master of Xuan Gate is right, this poor monk has learned."
Lin Feng asked, "Master, what do you plan to do next?"
"This poor monk has a presumptuous request." After hesitating for a moment Zen Master Dade put his palms together, bowing towards Lin Feng: "This poor monk hopes to be able to work together with the Master of the Celestial Gate to search for our buddhist relics, to send the remains of our senior monks back to paradise."
"The Great Leiyin Temple has already been destroyed. Everything is set in stone. I do not wish for the revival of Buddhism. Therefore, I hope that I can serve under the master of the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men. I am willing to serve the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men in order to repay the master of the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men for saving my life and protecting my Buddhist Relic.
Zen Master Dade put his palms together and bowed to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at him and smiled, "Master, you're too polite. You don't have to mention joining me. If you're willing, you can be a guest in my Xuan Gate."
"The Great Leiyin Temple's ten-thousand-year-old ancient temple has suffered a calamity. I'm also very sad. I don't want you to leave Buddhism. I'm also fated with Buddhism. Since that's the case, let's form another connection."
Zen Master Dade nodded, "Master of Xuan Gate is magnanimous, this poor monk can't thank you enough."
Lin Feng smiled. Keeping Zen Master Dade was a matter of pros and cons. There was actually a deeper reason why the Tempest Temple had become the target of public criticism in the past.
Other than being at odds with the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taixu Temple and Mount Shu Sword Sect had joined the war to destroy Buddhism. As far as Lin Feng knew, it was not a simple conflict of interests.
If he took in a Buddhist disciple who had survived the calamity now, there might be hidden dangers in the future.
But the benefits were also very obvious. Not to mention that his sect had an additional guest in the Primordial Divinity level, which strengthened the sect's strength, at the same time, it was more likely to get the complete Infinite Light Buddha Sutra.
This was also a matter of buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold coins. After the Tempest Temple was destroyed, Zen Master Dade was not the only Primordial Divinity level Buddhist almighty who escaped. Although they were scattered, they were still a force when they gathered together. Lin Feng believed that Zen Master Dade and the others would be in contact with each other.
As for the hidden dangers that might come in the future, Lin Feng had a rough idea, "Disasters and blessings go hand in hand. If handled properly, not only will there be no harm, but there will also be unexpected gains."
