508: Chapter 70: Spying 508: Chapter 70: Spying Upon the Purple Green Treasure Ship, a faint cyan light surged.
Fragments of the Karma Principle gathered between Mi Yun’s eyebrows, the little monk sat in the wheelchair with an empty gaze, looking into the distance, his face shrouded in Holy Light.
“Swish!”
Miao Zhen casually waved his sleeve, releasing the Buddha Country, enveloping the tiny area where they were situated.
“Is this the Tanluan Buddha Bones?”
True Master Jun Shan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the cyan light before Mi Yun’s forehead.
Upon closer inspection, one could discern that within the cyan light, there were obscure characters.
All of them were Buddhist Sanskrit.
“The reincarnation of a future life, unheard of…”
After looking for a while, Jun Shan did not understand, he walked around the wheelchair, muttering to himself: “After Tanluan’s death, his Divine Thought should have dissipated between heaven and earth.
After hundreds of years, how did Mi Yun activate this Divine Soul inheritance?”
“The words ’cause’ and ‘effect’ are profound and mysterious.”
Miao Zhen calmly said: “Even a character such as ‘Zen Master’ cannot claim to have completely comprehended karma.
The Power of Dao that Saint Tanluan wielded, is among the highest tier of principles…
The ‘Tianyuan Mountain’ of the Taoist sect has been accumulating heroic souls for a thousand years, Da Sui Sword Palace’s ‘Xuanshui Cave Heaven’ also has sages from generations past.
Fan Yin Temple naturally has methods to pass down this exceedingly rare Karma Principle.”
Jun Shan shook his head and said no more.
Moments later.
The cyan light gradually dispersed, the little monk sitting in the wheelchair let out a long breath of turbid air.
Mi Yun’s complexion appeared very weary.
Sweat seeped out, soaking through his robe.
“Benefactor…”
He looked towards Xie Xuanyi, his voice hoarse: “I saw…
light.”
“Light?”
The moment this word was spoken, not only Xie Xuanyi, but Miao Zhen and Jun Shan were all taken aback.
“Little monk, explain carefully…
what did you see?
What does ‘light’ mean?”
Jun Shan furrowed his brows.
He was an impatient man and detested such inscrutable riddles.
“Light…
is simply light.”
Mi Yun spoke wearily: “Everywhere, in all directions, a splendorous dazzle.
Within the expanse of the sky, there was only light.
Everything else disappeared, leaving only light.”
“This…”
Jun Shan suddenly did not know what to say.
He looked towards Miao Zhen.
Miao Zhen shook his head, indicating that he too did not understand this meaning of “light.”
“Is this the guidance of the Karma Principle?”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow and asked.
“…Yes.”
Mi Yun weakly spoke: “This is the first time I’ve wielded this power; originally, I never thought it could be successful.”
He extended two fingers, gently touching the spot on his forehead.
The cyan light dissipated.
His forehead still burned hot.
The use of the Karma Principle took a tremendous toll on his Spiritual Power, besides that, there was also significant wear on his physical body.
“This power is not something you should wield right now.”
Xie Xuanyi’s voice was soft, he signaled to Deng Baiyi, saying: “Baiyi…
take him back to rest.”
Deng Baiyi nodded and hastily pushed the wheelchair away.
The tumultuous assassination attempt drew to a close without peril.
In a short while, the Treasure Ship would reach shore.
Members of the delegation got busy again, organizing scriptures, packing their luggage.
Although Miao Zhen had dispelled the prohibition, the Buddha’s light still enveloped the three of them, outsiders could not hear their conversation.
“Did Benefactor Xie discern some clues just now?”
Although they were recently acquainted, Miao Zhen had come to understand Xie Xuanyi quite well.
Before the guidance of the Karma Principle appeared.
Xie Xuanyi’s expression was somewhat somber.
But as soon as the words “light” were mentioned…
the confusion in his eyes suddenly cleared.
“Indeed.”
Xie Xuanyi did not rush to reply with the clues but posed a question first: “Have you noticed…
the ‘Karma Principle’ that Mi Yun has awakened, somewhat similar to the Sky Watcher’s scrutiny of destiny?”
“Now that you mention it, there seems to be some connection.” True Master Jun Shan immediately nodded, he spoke with concern: “We mustn’t get involved with this matter; no Sky Watcher ever lives long…
Hiss, didn’t Tanluan also not live for very long?”
If Saint Tanluan had successfully ascended to a Yang God back then, indeed his lifespan would not be considered long.
Too entangled with karma.
One’s life could be substantially shortened.
“The Karma and destiny, have their own marvelous similarities.”
Miao Zhen nodded and said: “I heard from the Zen Master that Saint Tanluan was a wise and compassionate high monk with great insight.
He saw the grand scheme between the Da Chu and Li nations early on, hence choosing to travel westward to propel the peace of both dynasties with his own strength.”
“If that’s the case.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke softly: “What Mi Yun saw as ‘light’, should refer to ‘Ren Shou Palace’.”
“Ren Shou Palace?!”
Jun Shan’s brows almost shot up with surprise, for once he was visibly startled.
This answer truly exceeded his expectations.
“Light…
light…”
Miao Zhen thought for a moment, still somewhat confused: “Benefactor Xie, why do you say this?”
“You have not been to Ren Shou Palace.”
Xie Xuanyi chuckled: “When I entered the Imperial City, I had a brief encounter with the Holy Empress.”
Although it was a fleeting encounter, it was deeply memorable.
Endless light, spreading from above.
If not for the protection of his Master’s Sword Qi Lotus, this light would have swallowed him whole.
“Yuan Jimo is the man most favored by the holy in Great Chu Imperial City…”
True Master Jun Shan contemplated and spoke, “I heard that ten years ago, he was just an insignificant figure in the Imperial City Department.
In just ten years, he has become one of the most powerful individuals in Da Chu…”
Yuan Jimo’s remains were gone, the Karma Principle pointed the clues towards Ren Shou Palace…
Did the Holy Empress act, taking away these remnants?
Jun Shan paused, somewhat astonished: “Wait, can Tanluan’s Karma Principle…
probe into such high-level individuals?”
The Sky Watcher’s scrutiny, after all, has its limits.
Jun Shan and Yan Xin were friends; he was well aware of the “Sky Watcher’s” deficiencies.
