Chapter 490: Are You Willing to Devote Yourself

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

West of the central continent, near a large city known as Huangzun City, there was an extremely giant cave known as Jianan Cave.

Opening up a close to 30 thousand feet deep, 2 thousand miles wide space in a cave.

Within the cave that spread tens of miles, there were all kinds of Buddha statues: 800 Luohan, the various bodhisattvas, ten over buddha ancestors. Each had a different level of sentience, causing the cave to be filled with a seven-colored light. Even if one was tens of miles away, they could see that spiritual light shine.

If one walked further into the depths of the cave–if one’s body had a certain amount of Buddhist ability–they could step into a special space.

It was a hundred thousand feet wide, similar to that of a vast habitat.

Jingyin walked around in the depths of the cave, wearing a wide monk robe and white shoes, without a single bit of dust on it.

Looking all about curiously, her eyes filled with joy as well as curiosity.

Every time she passed a buddha or bodhisattva statue, she would bow respectfully–she was really sincere with no other thoughts at all.

The last one was Sakyamuni, who was huge. There was a lotus in his hand and a slight smile on his face. Jingyin bowed. Then, she followed a small path and climbed slowly upwards. When she stepped on the lotus on the palm, the scenery in front of her eyes changed.

She seemed to be in a whole different wide space. It was a million feet wide. At a glance, one couldn’t see the borders of the place.

Not far away, there was a temple that looked similar to that of a palace hall which occupied a large space.

Jingyin knew that she was still within the Jianan cave–On that lotus.

The entire space where the Jianan temple was located was built within this Buddhist treasure which was shaped like a lotus.

She looked around. Many tempered red-robed monks walked in and out of that temple entrance.

At this moment, not only was Jingyin curious, but even those monks were looking over with a questioning gaze.

Some of them were attracted by her out of this world beauty. While some of them felt curious. This was a temple and not a convent, so what was a nun doing all the way here in a monk temple?

Jingyin didn’t care. She looked around excitingly.

In her heart, she thought to herself that this was the males that her master told her about. They were different from them.

She looked towards the north before her expression froze up. The north wall here as expected had once collapsed.

Although it looked perfectly fine, it was repaired not long ago.

“Is that junior sister Jingyin?”

A teen monk wearing the clothing of a managing disciple walked out of the gate to welcome.

Jingyin looked at the head of his person, and she saw 6 scars.

“I am Zhiyuan. Junior sister can just call be senior brother! Follow me, Master Linghai has been waiting for many hours within the Daxiong Hall…”

Jingyin nodded her head and followed Zhiyuan into the temple. Along the way, she found it weird. Many teen monks were exchanging glances and words with one another. Hearing their words, they were borrowing spiritual artifacts and Taoist spiritual talismans.

Occasionally, there would be space ripples in the sky. There seemed like people were teleporting over there.

When Zhiyuan saw the situation, he couldn’t help but smile and explain, “Junior sister doesn’t know, but 2 hours ago, Sword prince Jueyu and common people Tanqiu agreed to fight in front of common people vast habitat. Till now, a victor hasn’t been decided. Who knows what had happened, but the senior brothers who headed overall sent back news to say that both of them are the best sword experts in a hundred years. They also said that the battle is a classic peak sword intent battle. As for these small teleportation formations and space crossing pearls, they suddenly became in hot demand. Many senior brothers and junior brothers want to head over to have a look…”

Jingyin exclaimed, showing a shocked expression. Since young, she spent her time in a convent and was brought up by her master. As such, she knew very little about the cultivation world.

However, this Jueyu was so famous, and she had heard about him.

He challenged 10 shrines, 19 spiritual houses, and didn’t lose a single time. Even if he faced grade 9 experts, he was able to retreat without taking serious injuries.

Such a person was legendary. Jingyin thought that in this world, Jueyu should be unique.

So in this world, there was someone who could be compared to him…

After saying those words, Zhiyuan scoffed in disdain, “They all have no eyes! A grade 7 and a grade 8, how strong can they be? Even if it is dazzling, it is still a sword battle beneath the celestial path. Why are they so anxious? Wasting so many small teleportation talismans for no reason!”

Although he said those words, Zhiyuan’s footsteps seem to impatiently hurry as he walked forwards.

They rushed forward and went through several gates, coming to the front of an extremely huge hall. On the signboard road the name “Daxiong”.

Da had the meaning of encapsulating everything; Xiong meant to suppress demons. It was always the name of the main hall of Buddhist temples.

Jingyin followed Zhiyuan in. In her heart, she was feeling weird. This hall which was to respect the 3 Buddhas didn’t seem like the place where one would receive a guest.

Why was senior master Linghai receiving her here?

Stepping into the gates, she saw an unfamiliar looking, white and fat old monk sitting on a praying mat. He wore a purple gold kasaya, seeming noble and rich. However, at this moment he was frowning, sighing out loud like he was worried about something.

After Zhiyuan brought her here, he bowed and left.

Jingyin wasn’t afraid of unfamiliar situations. She first bowed towards Sakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, and Siddhartha Buddha.

Then she did a Buddhist greeting towards the fat monk, “Disciple Jingyin greets senior master Linghai!”

“You finally came, sit!”

He pointed towards the prayer mat opposite him. It wasn’t until she sat down did Linghai speak, “Did your master tell you about the reason why you came?”

Jingyin shook her head. In truth, she didn’t know why her master asked her to rush over to this Jianan cave.

“It seems like I must be the one to be the bad person this time.”

Linghai sighed, his face helpless, “From today on, you are kicked out of the sect. You must return to the world!”

Jingyin was startled, but she wasn’t shocked at all. She didn’t panic, just blinking–her eyes filled with a questioning expression.

When Linghai saw that, he couldn’t help but praise. This girl was really intelligent.

“During these few days, have you learned of the changes in our cloud world Buddhist temples?”

Jingyin nodded her head, “I heard that 3 days ago the Buddhist statues all glowed, the north wall collapsing. There was no exception. After the matter master said that the north is a respected position, all gods sat in the north and faced south. The wall was built to split up inside from the outside. Master said that this is our buddhist’s predestined fate–luck where people are brought together!”

“Your master always had good comprehension! That is indeed the case!”

Linghai smiled, his expression was complicated, “Do you know that days ago, the many buddha ancestors all gave some decrees! Not only our jianan cave, the shanming temple, white horse temple, xiangguo temple, etc–most of them were like that. Without exception, they were all 4 words!”

Jingyin face filled with shock. Then, she saw Linghai point towards her sides.

Jingyin looked towards where his fingers pointed to, understanding the reason why Linghai would choose this place to meet her.

She saw that on the gold-colored ground, there were 2 large words on the right and left side. There was no shape or trace, but only an injection of intent. Only if one focused could one read it.

…Unlimited light! Endless darkness!

Amongst those words, each of them was filled with huge amounts of Buddhist power, as well as the many Buddhist paths.

Jingyin looked at if for a moment before she felt her soul hurting, not daring to continue looking on.

“Unlimited light and endless darkness? What does that mean?”

“You can see the words. And can last over a breath?”

Linghai moved forwards and sized up Jingyin, “This time we found the right person. My useless disciples…Even if they went all out, they could only read a portion of it, unable to last for half a breath. Oh! Not bad, looks and aura, the top choice in the world. You will be able to complete this matter.”

Seeing her brows furrow, Linghai awkwardly smiled, his body moving backward.

“It is indeed unlimited light and endless darkness! Before this, I didn’t know what it meant. I only comprehended it yesterday that we must search for a person who has both of these features and accept him into our Buddhist school.”

When Jingyin heard that, her face was filled with loss,” However isn’t unlimited light the power grasped by dari rulai? The light shines all over, not being destroyed and not being produced, an important feature of Vairocana…”

Halfway into her words, Linghai waved his hand to interrupt her. He silently placed a few scriptures in front of Jingyin.

She saw that they were all scriptures related to dari rulai.

Dari garbha scripture, vairocana light scripture, great sun dharma scripture…

Ten over books made of special materials, all scriptures who could carry the big path.

Jingyin curiously flipped open. Then, her expression finally changed. She flipped several books, with no exception, all of them changed.

“3 days ago all dari rulai scriptures changed unlimited light to vast light. After this person formed his foundations, even Vairocana doesn’t there to say he carries unlimited light…”

Jingyin’s expression froze as she placed down the books in her hand.

“Vairocana is the personification of the sun. I don’t understand. What path has even stronger light power than the sun? Endless darkness…which means this person has both light and darkness? Unlimited light and endless darkness, they should be conflicting. How is that possible?”

“Your senior master doesn’t understand either! However, we can confirm that these 4 words referred to one person!”

Linghai laughed awkwardly, “Kicking you out of the sect is for you to find him. No matter what you do and what price, you have to get him to join the Buddhist sect. Even if you can’t you need him to help us. Jingyin are you willing to devote yourself to our Buddhism?”
