The huge golden dragon circled around Happy and let out mighty dragon roars repeatedly, but Happy's speed had clearly slowed down.
Before Happy, Master of Breaking Vows, who had been repeatedly suppressed, showed a strange expression. Even though his body fortification had been destroyed after the strike just now and blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth, he had formed a strange seal on his palms. Three of his fingers were connected to his heart, and only his index finger and pinky finger were extended. He had his eyes closed, and he looked as if he was deep in thought.
Bodhidharma Cave had changed drastically above Master of Breaking Vows. Golden light shone, and waves of dazzling golden light flowed nonstop in the cave. Soon, it covered the sky above him and the walls around him.
Happy did not even need to look closely to be able to tell that Master of Breaking Vows, who had been guarding Bodhidharma Cave for many years, seemed to have finally understood Bodhidharma Sword Technique at the moment of danger, which was why even after Happy understood the third move of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms — Flying Dragon in the Sky — he still could not defeat Master of Breaking Vows.
A faint layer of Buddhist light surrounded Master of Breaking Vows. Along with the Sanskrit sounds that came out of his mouth, he looked solemn and dignified. Every time he flicked his fingers, he would fuse with the essence of Bodhidharma Sword Technique, and he easily broke Happy's fierce palm technique.
Happy's palm technique might have been fast, and with each of his moves, golden dragons would roar and roar madly. Their momentum was astonishing, domineering, and awe-inspiring, but unfortunately for him, the Bodhidharma Finger, which was formed from Bodhidharma Sword Technique, seemed to be able to move about with ease.
Boom!
Boom boom!
The golden dragon attacked multiple times, but Master of Breaking Vows pointed at the crucial spots, and with one finger, he broke Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
After a few attacks failed, Happy quickly noticed that his qi was falling madly, and it was showing signs of falling into Inaction Realm. In that sort of situation, Happy had to slow down his attacks and move around Master of Breaking Vows slowly. The huge golden dragon also slowly accumulated and stabilized its qi.
Whoosh …
He dragged the huge golden dragon vortex around Bodhidharma Cave, and while the momentum was astonishing, Happy's gaze and expression gradually turned solemn.
Master of Breaking Vows suddenly did not seem to be able to sense his own fighting spirit. His heart was as calm as still water, and he stood where he was without moving. He did not reveal any openings, and Happy could not attack him.
He moved about and attacked for a few minutes, and his qi finally fell below Inaction Realm.
Master of Breaking Vows remained as still as a mountain. Only when Happy attacked would he casually tap his finger. In fact, he did not even bother to lift his eyelids. He was like an Arhat statue sitting there, dignified and unmoving.
"Admirable! Master, your Dharma cultivation has improved greatly. Congratulations! " When he saw that Master of Breaking Vows did not give him any chance, he completely gave up. "Looks like I won't have the chance to persuade you to leave the mountain." With Bodhidharma Sword protecting him, he could completely counter the profound secret of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm. Unless his qi realm increased, it would be impossible for him to win against Master of Breaking Vows.
Bang!
When Happy thought of this, the huge golden dragon shuddered in the air before it exploded into countless gusts of air that instantly scattered in the air. Happy had resolutely stopped attacking and got rid of his aura. He dispersed his qi realm and the qi that filled his entire body to return Bodhidharma Cave to peace and quiet.
"Amitabha."
Master of Breaking Vows called out the name of Buddha and finally opened his eyes. He cast Happy a gratified glance. "If it weren't for your help, it would have been impossible for me to understand Bodhidharma Sword. Today, if it weren't for your repeated persuasions, I wouldn't have understood the true profound secret of being invincible!
"It's no wonder why all the past abbots have asked us to go to Bodhidharma Cave on Punishment Mount to face the wall. I'm ashamed. It's only today that I understand the pains the abbots have gone through. Those who practice Buddhism must first clear their minds when they practice martial arts. If we blindly focus on martial arts, it is not in accordance with the true essence of zen martial arts. Amitabha, I have wasted Patriarch Bodhidharma's efforts."
When he heard Master of Breaking Vows confess his guilt, Happy was surprised to notice that the situation had turned for the better.
He originally thought that he had failed his quest, but he did not expect that once Master of Breaking Vows understood Bodhidharma Sword, he would understand the pains the past abbots and Patriarch Bodhidharma had for the monks who broke their vows!
"Patron, I will go down the mountain with you now." Master of Breaking Vows placed his palms together and said, "I have practiced hard for twenty years, but I can't even gain an epiphany in one day. I'm ashamed. I must immediately apologize to the abbot and return to Shaolin Temple to focus on training my mind."
"Ding!
Right when Master of Breaking Vows finished speaking, Happy was pleasantly surprised to hear the system notification that came late.
"Repent and be saved. Help Master of Breaking Vows break the demon in his heart and understand Bodhidharma Sword. Return to Shaolin Temple with Master of Breaking Vows, Yuan Mie, and meet Master Kong Xiang." At that moment, the notification sounded incredibly pleasant to Happy's ears.
"Please!"
Happy walked out of Bodhidharma Cave.
Yuan Mie mumbled, "Patron, you're too polite." Then, he walked out of Bodhidharma Cave.
Just when the two of them were prepared to leave the mountain, a faint sigh suddenly came from the mountain. It was a voice that seemed to have experienced an endless amount of ancientness, but it was loud and clear.
"Yuan Mie!"
Master Yuan Mie stopped moving. He turned around swiftly and bowed deeply. "Senior, I have faced the wall for more than twenty years, and it is all thanks to your guidance and teachings. When I return to the temple, I will explain to the abbot that after more than thirty years of imprisonment, you have long since lost your competitive nature. I sincerely ask the abbot to allow you to leave Punishment Mount."
An old and awe-inspiring voice traveled into the air like thunder.
"Young Monk Yuan Mie! You might not have a good Comprehension, but you have a kind heart, and you're diligent. Over the past twenty years, you've taken good care of me, which is why I taught you Vajra Demon Subduing Divine Art. You don't have to worry about me. I didn't call you here because I want you to ask for mercy from the abbot of Shaolin Temple. It has been more than thirty years, and I've long since become indifferent to everything. Every day, I watch the sea of clouds and the people at the summit, and I enjoy myself. That's why you don't have to worry about me. "
"Senior, do you have any instructions for me?" Once he understood Bodhidharma Sword, Yuan Mie seemed to have become much smarter. He quickly reacted to the situation and put on the posture of listening to instructions. He was very respectful.
"I've already told you everything that I wanted to say over the past twenty years …" There was a hint of mockery in the aged voice. "The reason why I called you here is because I have a few words that I would like to ask this young friend of yours."
"Hmm?"
Happy was stunned. Even though he had expected this, when he heard that the legendary Mad Monk seemed to be paying attention to him, he could not help but be shocked. He did not dare to be negligent. He took a step forward, wrapped his fist in his palm, and answered, "Master, if you have something to say to me, I will naturally not get tired of it."
Inaction Realm martial artists could become one with the power of nature, but those who had the power to control clouds and fog had clearly surpassed this realm and reached Myth Realm, which was at the same level as Zhang Wuji. But if he had been able to gather wind and clouds for a long time, it was clear that he had reached an even higher realm.
For a period of time, Happy could not figure out just what this legendary, fierce person who had surpassed his current realm wanted to say to him.
"I'm just curious. How did a teenager who has not even reached Life and Death Realm manage to understand Flying Dragon in the Sky, which is a move in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm that requires one to experience life and death and transcend life and death?"
Happy had nothing to say to that.
"Leave." The old voice seemed to have lost interest in Happy, and he said faintly, "When you reach that realm, perhaps you will become the first person to receive ten moves from me."
'The first?'
Happy looked at Yuan Mie in shock.
