Chu Li laughed. "Heh, so she's a descendant of an Immortal. I apologize for my rudeness."
Abbot Xin Ji looked at him and shook his head.
Chu Li said, "This means she has a strong network and foundation. That's why she can move unimpeded. Abbot, did you know of her existence?"
"No." Abbot Xin Ji shook his head and sighed. "I didn't expect such a genius to appear. She's like a sun shining across the sky, eclipsing the stars. Even you can't compare to her."
Chu Li said, "I'm not that great."
Monk Xin Ji shook his head. "You're the first genius of the Great Mercy Temple in ten thousand years. Your improvement is beyond imagination. You're like a divine being with innate wisdom. It's a shame you were born at the wrong time to meet such a genius."
Chu Li smiled. "Abbot, are you admitting defeat?"
"If she's as I've guessed, the Great Mercy Temple has no chance of winning." Monk Xin Ji sighed and said, "Birth and death, the cycle goes on and on. This is common sense."
Chu Li said, "Then the Great Mercy Temple will surrender."
"It's just a mutual destruction." Abbot Xin Ji smiled. "It's not a big deal. The Dharma Ending Era is coming. Buddhism is not prosperous but it won't go extinct."
Chu Li frowned. "Are we just going to let her do as she pleases?"
"It's the general trend." Abbot Xin Ji shook his head and sighed. "This is the will of the heavens. All we can do is to face the difficulties. Ding Ru, the Demon Subduing Hall's inheritance must not end. This is the most important thing."
Chu Li said, "Abbot, you want me to preserve our strength and hide in the Demon Subduing Hall."
"You can't do that, right?" Abbot Xin Ji said.
Chu Li shook his head.
Abbot Xin Ji smiled. "Then do as you wish. Just don't let the Demon Subduing Hall's inheritance end."
Chu Li said slowly, "The Great Mercy Temple's disciples can't leave the temple."
"Of course." Abbot Xin Ji said, "The Demon Sect Leader is watching. Once the disciples leave the temple, they'll become her target. That's why the disciples will never leave."
Chu Li was relieved.
It seemed like the abbot was smarter than he thought.
Abbot Xin Ji said, "Ding Ru, this woman is unfathomable, you must be careful."
Chu Li said, "Since the Abbot is determined to die, how can I live alone?"
"Amitabha, I will definitely be different from you." Abbot Xin Ji put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He sighed and said, "Your aptitude is peerless, but you are our only chance of survival. The Demon Subduing Palace cannot do without you."
Chu Li muttered, "Abbot, I would like to enter the temple to cultivate."
Abbot Xin Ji was stunned and looked at him doubtfully.
Chu Li said, "Since my martial arts is not as good as hers, I want to find a way to win through Buddhism."
"The Dharma of Buddhism is boundless." Abbot Xin Ji nodded slowly, "You have a deep understanding of Buddhism as well. It would be great if you could go one step further and achieve more supernatural powers."
Chu Li smiled. "Then did the Abbot agree?"
"Of course." Abbot Xin Ji said, "There's a Zhunti dojo in the temple. Let's see if you can enter it."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Abbot Xin Ji said, "The Zhunti dojo is in the temple, but the disciples can't enter it. One needs to have a profound Dharma of Buddhism to be able to sense it and step into it to further improve their Dharma."
Chu Li looked around and frowned as he pondered.
He really did not notice the existence of the Zhunti dojo.
Abbot Xin Ji said, "To enter the Zhunti dojo, you need to cripple your martial arts. You will lose all your martial arts and only have pure Dharma."
Chu Li said, "I will try."
"Try." Abbot Xin Ji smiled.
Chu Li stood up and put his palms together. "I will take my leave and go see Master."
"Go." Abbot Xin Ji waved his hand.
Chu Li left the temple and went to Monk Hui Guang's courtyard.
Monk Hui Guang was cultivating and focused on his martial arts. He could not talk to anyone, so he could only leave and return to his courtyard to cripple his martial arts.
Recovering his martial arts was a piece of cake for him, so he did not mind crippling his martial arts as it was as easy as drinking water. When Monk Ding Ding ran over, he had already crippled his martial arts and was like a normal person.
"Junior Brother, you …" Monk Ding Ding felt something was wrong as soon as he came in. He looked at Chu Li and said, "Your martial arts …"
Chu Li smiled. "I've crippled it and focused on studying Dharma. Senior Brother, what brings you here?"
"I received news that the sects on the sea have retreated to the sea," Monk Ding Ding said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "They know their place."
"What happened?" Monk Ding Ding said, "We all retreated to the temple. They originally had the chance to expand their forces and gain a foothold. Why did they do the opposite and ran back?"
Chu Li said, "Because the land is no longer safe. It has become a place of trouble. They heard the news."
"Who is so scary to scare them away?" Monk Ding Ding said, "I don't think there's such power in the world today."
Chu Li said slowly, "Senior Brother from the Devil Sect, you don't have to worry about this."
"I will keep an eye on them." Monk Ding Ding shook his head. "But the traces of the Devil Sect is a big problem. All the disciples of the Devil Sect have disappeared and the Twelve Factions of the Devil Sect never appeared. It's too strange."
He was puzzled.
He felt that it was almost impossible to hide the traces of all the disciples, but the Twelve Factions of the Devil Sect did it. He felt that it was dangerous.
Chu Li's expression suddenly changed and he took a step forward.
In the next moment, he disappeared into the void.
Monk Ding Ding widened his eyes and looked around, but Chu Li was already gone.
He felt that it was strange.
Void Diversion could not be used in the Great Mercy Temple, so Chu Li's sudden disappearance was very strange.
The Great Mercy Temple did not only have a formation to restrict void diversion, even if it had the ability to break the formation, Junior Brother Ding Ru would not do it. Why did he suddenly disappear this time? Did something big happen?
Chu Li stood in the vast void, facing a towering Buddha statue.
At first glance, the Buddha statue seemed to be made of purple gold, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be alive. Its eyes were full of color as if it was in deep thought. The aura around it was vast, but it was lively and full of vitality.
Chu Li felt an inexplicable sense of reverence. He hurriedly pressed his palms together and chanted, "Amitabha Buddha."
"Amitabha Buddha." The golden Buddha statue also pressed its palms together and let out a Buddhist chant that sounded like a bronze bell that resounded through the void.
When Chu Li heard this chant, his mind suddenly flashed. All the dharma that he had learned in the past flowed in his mind, and all the Buddhist scriptures that he had read appeared from the beginning. The scriptures' meanings also flowed in his mind.
After all the dharma flashed, it began to merge. Countless spiritual lights flashed in Chu Li's mind. The void in his mind was like a sky full of lightning, and each lightning contained a wisp of wisdom.
After an unknown period of time, Chu Li slowly woke up. He was still standing in front of the golden Buddha statue, but when he looked at the huge purple gold Buddha statue again, he realized that it was no longer alive. What he saw earlier seemed like an illusion, it was really the Buddha statue.
He realized that his body was clear and clear like a light breeze. There was nothing wrong with his body. It was as if his body did not exist, free, peaceful, and joyful.
