Daluo Temple had never been this busy in the past.
What shocked Zhi Nian the most was that among the guests, many of them were highly respected eminent monks. Their statuses were definitely higher than his. Even the abbot of Daluo Temple had to stand up and greet them when they saw them.
This made Zhi Nian tense up and he dared not make a single mistake.
However, Zhi Nian was much more experienced in handling the situation. After all, he knew that the one in charge of Daluo Temple now was a Buddha at the level of a true immortal.
Hence, no matter who it was, they had to be respectful as if they were on a pilgrimage. This made Zhi Nian feel a surge of emotions.
Not too long ago, he thought that Daluo Temple was done for and would perish for good.
But now, it seemed like Daluo Temple had a bright future ahead of them.
Two days later, Nine Zen Pavilion was filled to the brim. Every single monk here was over a hundred years old and each one of them was famous throughout the world.
But that wasn't all. The area outside Nine Zen Pavilion was filled to the brim with people.
Because today, a Buddha and a true immortal would be preaching.
To the monks, this was the most exciting moment of their lives.
At this moment, rays of Buddhist light appeared, and the Fire Source Monk revealed himself.
He was sitting on a flaming lotus platform. His massive physique was several times larger than an average person's and he looked like a Buddha. Seven layers of Buddhist light surrounded him and he looked dignified. The moment he appeared, the monks felt like they were bathed in a spring breeze as they chanted Buddhist mantras and bowed.
After all, this was the first Buddha who dared to show his face in the past two thousand years. The monks were thrilled and some of the older ones were already crying.
"Silence!"
Huo Yuan no longer looked like the cheapskate he was when he was bickering with Lin Jin. Instead, he was extremely solemn. That one word carried a Buddhist hymn, rich mana, and the calming power of Buddhism. It reverberated throughout Daluo Temple.
Many of the monks were dumbfounded by this one word. Their originally agitated, restless, and even uncontrollable hearts suddenly calmed down.
Many of the monks immediately knew that the word was a mystical Buddhist hymn that could cleanse their minds. Following the word 'silence', they sat down cross-legged and used their Buddhist Dharma. To their surprise, their realms and cultivation levels improved significantly.
If this was already the case for the eminent monks, the ordinary monks outside would be even more affected.
Some of the young monks immediately revealed their buddha-like avatars, all of them with solemn expressions. Some of them even had buddha-like runes on their bodies. This was undoubtedly a huge increase in power. There were even some who had been stuck at the same cultivation level for over ten years, or even dozens of years. At this moment, they directly broke through the bottleneck and advanced.
As for the scenes of ferocious beasts listening to the Buddha and sitting quietly like a human, there were even more scenes. These miracles that would normally cause a commotion no matter where they were placed would appear here and there. However, at this moment, they appeared one after another, and no one found it strange at all.
Following that, Monk Huo Yuan did not waste any time and started to talk about Buddhism.
The moment he opened his mouth, he spoke the truth. This was in line with Monk Huo Yuan's personality. He had always been firm and fierce. If he could do something directly, he would definitely not beat around the bush.
And this lecture lasted for three days and three nights.
During these three days, the sky above Daluo Temple was filled with colorful clouds and auspicious birds. The beasts within a hundred miles were peaceful and there were no signs of killing.
Some people even saw with their own eyes the scene of tigers and elks drinking from the same stream a few feet apart.
Naturally, this became the beginning of the legend of Daluo Temple's Buddhist chanting.
When the story reached the ears of the people, they added even more details to the story. To all Buddhist practitioners, these three days were enough to go down in history.
Lin Jin didn't practice Buddhism and had no intention of stealing Monk Huo Yuan's limelight. These few days, he finally found the time to visit Jade Dragon Kingdom.
When the allied army of the Grassy Continent invaded, only a few towns and cities in Jade Dragon Kingdom were spared, and the Jade Dragon Kingdom was one of them.
It was because almost all of Jade Dragon Kingdom's military forces were gathered here, along with reinforcements from Spiral Nation, that the royal capital was impregnable.
Of course, it was also because the allied army of the Grassy Continent didn't attack with all their might. Otherwise, it would be hard to say how things would turn out. After all, the allied army was backed by the Beast God Cult and Patriarch Xue Pao.
As Lin Jin was a loner, he couldn't be bothered to report his arrival. Instead, he rode a cloud to Jade Dragon Kingdom. Since there were plenty of clouds in the sky, no one noticed him.
When he landed, Lin Jin cast a Camouflage spell, afraid that he would startle the people.
Once he was on the streets, Lin Jin removed the Camouflage spell. When he looked at the royal capital again, he had a different feeling. Logically speaking, it had only been a few months since Lin Jin last came to the royal capital. But now, it felt like a lifetime had passed since he last came here.
Perhaps it was because Lin Jin had been through too much recently and seen too much.
Upon arriving at Jade Dragon Kingdom, the first place Lin Jin went to wasn't the palace, but the Beast Appraisal Association.
After all, Lin Jin was still a beast appraiser in name. Moreover, he had acquaintances like Appraiser Tan here.
It was currently noon but the royal capital's Beast Appraisal Association headquarters was still bustling with activity. There was an endless stream of people who came here to diagnose and appraise beasts. Lin Jin was used to such a scene. After all, almost every citizen had a pet beast. With such a large population, they would come for consultation whenever there was a problem. Pet beast appraisals were also a big part of the business, so it was normal for the place to be busy.
Moreover, Lin Jin noticed that many people in Jade Dragon Kingdom were dressed differently from the people here today. They were probably from other countries or even other states.
There were also foreigners in the Beast Appraisal Association. Lin Jin wondered when Jade Dragon Kingdom became so lively.
Just as Lin Jin was about to enter, he heard a quarrel in front of the Beast Appraisal Association.
"Is this all the Beast Appraisal Association of Jade Dragon Kingdom is capable of? We came all the way here because of its reputation but we still managed to kill this rare beast. Tell me, how should we solve this problem? "
The person who spoke was furious. Upon closer inspection, this man was tall and buff. His attire was clearly exotic. With a large beard and large riding boots, he seemed to be from the northern continents.
Perhaps this man was hot-tempered so he grabbed a young appraiser across from him and questioned him. The latter frowned and a pet beast behind him growled threateningly.
If this northerner were to cause trouble again, he wouldn't hold back.
"Old Hu, I'm not one to be intimidated. You might have a pet beast, but so do I." This northerner wasn't afraid at all. Indeed, he had a pet beast with him. It was a large brown bear and it was currently standing upright, facing off against the appraiser.
Someone from headquarters tried to dissuade the young appraiser while the northerner's companions tried to dissuade him.
However, both of them were clearly in a fit of anger as the tension between them intensified.
Based on their auras alone, the northerner was clearly superior. Although the young appraiser from headquarters couldn't compare, he was still young and full of vigor. He didn't seem to have any intention of backing down.
Just then, an elderly beast appraiser walked out from headquarters. Everyone hurriedly saluted him at the sight of him.
At this, Lin Jin chuckled.
The person who came out was a familiar face, Appraiser Tan.
