Until a period of seclusion, no one from the entire noble family emerged! It was as if they were simply telling everyone that the Foshan noble family hadn't all died, they were just in seclusion.
Now, for the immortal master to have a connection with that noble family which only appeared once in a century… it was truly beyond his imagination.
Arriving at the main hall, a group of white-robed monks stood around, and without a word, they set up a barrier. Jin Baoer saw this but said nothing! To have survived this long, that Buddha’s Son must have some brains and strength.
Not to mention the unfathomable monks behind him.
The room was very quiet, the atmosphere extremely heavy.
The Buddha’s Son picked up the nearby tea and was about to drink, but his hand suddenly paused, then he calmly and slowly put down the teacup…
Well… he really didn’t mean to be picky.
Chu Tiancai naturally saw this scene, feeling a bit awkward, but he had been so engrossed in studying talismans recently that he had truly forgotten to go out and buy supplies. The tea was the same as when Jin Baoer had arrived…
Seeing this, Jin Baoer pursed her lips, realizing that this Buddha’s Son was not as simple as he appeared, and said to Chu Tiancai.
“Ah Cai, you go out first. I have something to discuss with this… Uncle Monk.”
Chu Tiancai didn’t want to stay in this atmosphere anyway, so he quickly left. The barrier closed again, and no one else could enter.
The Buddha’s Son, referred to as “Uncle Monk,” with a benevolent smile: “……”
He must not have interacted with the world for a long time, otherwise why would he feel like the other party was looking down on him… being so sensitive?!
“Cough cough… Immortal Master must have many questions, right? This matter is a long story, I…”
“Then make it short!”
Jin Baoer interrupted! Her brows furrowed, she didn’t want to listen to stories at all! She had heard enough stories recently…
The Buddha’s Son stiffened: She seemed to have a very bad temper. Could such a person truly save the upper realm?
“Alright then…”
Being interrupted like this, he didn’t know where to begin!
Jin Baoer didn’t know what he was thinking, but she also didn’t want to remain silent, so she continued.
“Why did the Buddha’s Son seek me out?”
She also remembered the aura she had sensed outside the trial grounds before, which should have come from this Buddha’s Son. Thus, he had indeed been looking for her.
Hearing this, the Buddha’s Son also straightened his expression, his smile gradually fading.
“Immortal Master, you should have seen me tens of thousands of years ago, but that wasn’t actually me…”
The general meaning was that he had already achieved nirvana tens of thousands of years ago. The current him was actually him after reincarnation and the resurgence of his memories! A long time ago, he had unintentionally deduced the heavenly secrets and predicted that in tens of thousands of years, an event of self-destruction would occur in the upper realm, the consequences of which would be so severe that all life would be utterly annihilated, and the Great Dao would ultimately cleanse everything…
And Jin Baoer’s existence was that sliver of hope! Because of this, even though his strength was insufficient ten thousand years ago, he had appeared with the monks to help! And to meet this savior with boundless compassion!
Now that the deadline was approaching, he descended the mountain to find Jin Baoer, to entrust her with the responsibility of saving the world! And to provide her with assistance, until the danger arrived, and she would then act to save it!
And over these tens of thousands of years, the clan forces had grown stronger and stronger, with talents emerging one after another. The seven great noble families, while appearing to be independent, were actually all under the control of the clan!
Only the Foshan noble family did not participate in any decisions! They rarely showed their faces, had the lowest presence, and had preserved some strength, doing their best to protect her before Jin Baoer had fully developed.
Pray tell! If one day someone suddenly stood before you and told you that your arrival was fated, that only you could save the world, and that they would protect you! Who would believe such a thing?
Jin Baoer’s face was filled with complexity. If it weren’t for the fact that the person before her was the legendary Buddha’s Son, she would have thought this person was crazy!
“Do you know the true identity of the Trial Master? And what exactly is the Divine Ranking?”
This question had troubled her for a long time, especially after having the suspicion that the Trial Master was Di Yuchuan, which made her even more confused about the trial grounds! The existence of the Divine Ranking also made it even more intriguing.
The Buddha’s Son fell silent for a few seconds, instinctively reaching for his teacup. The bitter smell made him come back to his senses, and he put the cup down again.
“I am not clear about the identity of the Trial Master. However, I can confirm that he should have suddenly appeared a few hundred years ago. Before that, there were no human-like beings in the trial grounds!”
After a pause, his expression became increasingly blurred, giving a sense of deep sorrow, and he continued.
“As for the Divine Ranking… it is established by the clan. Its purpose is to screen through the candidates from the trial grounds and select the juniors with the best talent and strength. If they are disciples of a noble family, they will receive the clan’s recognition, and in the future, they will be either the family head or an elder of the noble family!”
Jin Baoer frowned. This point was quite similar to what she had thought!
“What if they are not disciples of noble families? And even refuse to join a noble family?”
Upon hearing this, the Buddha’s Son looked up at her abruptly, with clear sorrow and surprise in his eyes.
“If that were the case, such a genius would definitely be captured by the clan. As for what they would do, I am not clear, but what is certain is… one would never see that person again! And no one would know their whereabouts! Some say they were recruited by the clan and went into seclusion… but there is no way to verify it!”
So, Di Yuchuan was likely also harmed by the clan members, leading to his disappearance? After all, he perfectly fit both prerequisites: good talent! And refused to join a noble family! It looked like the clan had done something!
Perhaps, she would be next? No wonder Fan Yinyingxue had that kind of expression at the time; she was probably worried that she would suffer the same fate as Di Yuchuan!
“Does the Buddha’s Son know… my background?”
She withdrew her thoughts and continued to ask! This was also something that puzzled her. The Pavilion Master of Linlang said that her mother had suddenly appeared in the upper realm, and her subsequent disappearance was also very strange. It gave her the feeling… as if she wasn’t from this world.
The Buddha’s Son was startled, seemingly not expecting her to ask this question! He looked at her with a surprised expression.
“Didn’t you ascend from the cultivation world?”
From his expression, it was clear that he had no idea about Jin Baoer’s background!
Jin Baoer was not disappointed; she simply told him about what had happened between Su Ziang and his wife, and then stated her suspicions, which made the Buddha’s Son’s expression even more solemn.
“I understand. If it’s just about calculating your background, it shouldn’t be difficult. You just need to give me a strand of hair, and I can find out about your parents’ situation.”
After all, she was the savior of the future, he had no reason to refuse such a small request!
“Also, Buddha’s Son, what is the disaster you mentioned that could cause the upper realm to be cleansed?”
She was still quite suspicious. She had inexplicably become the savior in his words. Although she wasn’t someone who would kill indiscriminately, she didn’t consider herself a good person either. Why would she be destined to save the upper realm in his calculations? This wasn’t even moral blackmail!
The Buddha’s Son shook his head, his expression filled with regret.
