Daluo Temple still had a living Buddha.
This was definitely a piece of news that could shock the world. The Buddha was an immortal, and there were many miraculous things in the ancient legends. In the past, they were just stories, but now, they had appeared in real life. The excitement and agitation in the hearts of the monks was simply hard to suppress.
Even some of the old monks had looks of excitement on their faces.
Everything that happened today had given them great motivation. From the battle between the abbot and the 'Curator' to the Buddha's intervention to neutralizing the blazing fireball, everything had greatly broadened their horizons. Even if they disregarded the Buddha, the abbot and the 'Curator' were considered remarkable in the eyes of the common folk.
Of course, there were also the smarter ones who understood that the 'Curator' was no ordinary person. How could a monk with the 'Xuan' name invite a mortal?
What did the Buddha say? He addressed the Curator as' Fellow Daoist '.
Perhaps not even Lin Jin could have imagined that the name 'Curator' would be known throughout the world from this day onward.
But that wasn't what Lin Jin was thinking about.
Using the Cloud Treading Technique, he followed behind Xuan Jue. They passed through the clouds and arrived at a lake in Daluo Temple. The lake was not big and looked like a large pond. By then, Xuan Jue had already stepped into the water and disappeared.
Lin Jin followed suit and took a step into the water as well.
With his water reservoir armor, he was impervious to water. Forget a small lake like this, he could even cross rivers and oceans.
However, the abbot and the others who followed him here didn't go down. Although the abbot and the others had high cultivation levels and were protected by guardian beasts, they didn't know how to control water so they couldn't enter the river.
"Senior Abbot, Grandmaster Xuan Jue has brought the Curator into the lake. What should we do?" Wisdom Hall's rector asked. The abbot shook his head. "Seems like this lake is where the grandmaster and Buddha cultivate. We can't enter without permission. Let's just wait here."
After entering the lake, Lin Jin realized that while the lake didn't seem huge, it was actually extremely deep. The center of the lake was like a dark abyss.
Xuan Jue walked in the water while Lin Jin followed closely behind with his water reservoir armor.
Xuan Jue turned around and looked surprised. Then, he nodded. "Fellow Daoist, this way please."
Further down, Lin Jin saw a stream of light. Looking down, he saw a strange fish.
The strange fish was huge, with the body of a fish and the head of a dragon. As it swam, its golden scales shone brightly, and its aura was so powerful that even without an appraisal, it was obvious that it was a grade 5 exotic beast.
Lin Jin mused, 'This Daluo Temple sure is resourceful. If there's nothing else, I definitely won't come again. And to be honest, I was a little reckless this time.'
As the golden-scaled arowana swam over, Lin Jin took the opportunity to touch it and record it into the museum. With just a quick glance, he knew that his previous appraisal was pretty much the same as reality.
This Arowana was indeed a fifth-order beast.
Further down, Lin Jin saw a huge bubble with a tiny house inside.
Once inside the bubble, Lin Jin felt like he was in another world. There seemed to be some kind of magical power here that isolated the lake water. Once his feet touched the ground, Lin Jin looked up and felt like he was visiting an aquarium in his past life.
It was a spacious area with green grass. Other than the house, there was only a tree beside it. The branches were slender and the leaves were emerald green. There were even banyan fruits hanging from the tree. It was an indescribable sense of harmony.
Under the tree was a gigantic tortoise the size of a millstone. Sitting on top of it was a monk.
The monk was dressed in a baina robe and he was motionless like a statue. His skin and flesh seemed to be rotting. Lin Jin was surprised by how old a person could be when he first saw Xuan Jue. But after seeing this monk, Lin Jin realized that Xuan Jue was actually quite young.
His age was indescribable. Just one look at him and Lin Jin could feel the weight of these two words.
"Time!"
It was the word 'time'.
Apart from that, the old monk was shrouded in a thick aura of death.
Lin Jin knew that this must be the 'Revered One' that Xuan Jue mentioned. He was also the one who used his supernatural powers to gather millions of fallen leaves to block the Vulcan Edict.
Lin Jin knew what he was capable of. That Vulcan Edict was a spell that he barely managed to cast by combining the edict amulet, the Golden Crow's bloodline, and his Dragonfire.
In fact, if it was a one-on-one fight, Master Abbot could have killed him. He only managed to do so because he had the upper hand and pressured Lin Jin with his aura.
Lin Jin could still vividly remember the abbot's four guardian beasts.
Hence, Lin Jin had been cautious from the start. While he seemed nonchalant, he was actually on guard.
Xuan Jue went over to the old monk and bowed.
"My friend, I know why you're here. Daluo Temple has been overly judgmental toward monsters in recent years. They've been asking too little about right and wrong and there are signs that they've strayed onto the wrong path. Xuan Jue, go and warn them. Have them reflect on their mistakes and turn over a new leaf."
His words left Lin Jin with a good impression.
Lin Jin mused, 'A true monk of Daluo Temple sure is something else.'
"May I know who your teacher is?" the old monk asked.
Lin Jin didn't know how to answer this question. Speaking of which, he didn't have a teacher. His cultivation depended entirely on the Museum of Deadly Beasts. He only learned some edicts from Cloud Sect and the Unending Nature Landscape by chance.
After giving it some thought, Lin Jin answered half-truthfully, "I don't have a teacher. I just happened to meet a Taoist from Cloud Sect and learned some edicts from him." "Cloud Sect? Oh, I remember now.
Although it's small, it's still considered a branch of Taoism. So Cloud Sect still has descendants. Not bad, not bad! "The old monk's voice carried a sense of vicissitudes as if he had been through the baptism of countless years. There was a sense of peace in his voice.
"I've seen your sword intent soaring through the sky with my Dharma Eyes. It looks familiar," the old monk probed. The old monk probed. Lin Jin gave it some thought before answering, "Master, I learned this Sword Intent from a senior named Du Li."
At the mention of 'Du Li', the old monk was stunned. His eyes that had been like a pool of stagnant water suddenly lit up.
"Du Li? He's still alive?"
Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat. It felt like the old monk knew him. In fact, back in the Unending Nature Landscape, Du Li was only left with an obsession. Strictly speaking, this ancient immortal had long since passed away.
If this old monk knew Du Li, then they were probably from the same era.
How could he have survived until now?
Didn't they say that an immortal had fallen? How did this person manage to avoid it?
If that was the case, then this person was a Level 1 immortal. In Buddhist terms, he was a Buddha.
At the thought of a living Buddha, even though Lin Jin was mentally prepared, he still shuddered. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that if the old monk wanted to kill him, Lin Jin wouldn't be able to fight back.
"Fellow Daoist, where did you meet Du Li?" The Buddha asked with a hint of anxiousness in his eyes.
At the same time, the weather in this secret realm at the bottom of the lake suddenly changed. Not only did the lake water boil, but a strong gust of wind was also blowing.
