Chapter 735 - 735 Leaving a Dao Mark in the Past
735 Leaving a Dao Mark in the Past
A fatal disaster?
Cui Heng turned to look at the middle-aged monk and chuckled. “How should I address you, Master?”
Actually, he had long understood everything through rewinding time.
This middle-aged monk’s name was Juexin. He was originally a sweeper monk from the Lotus Flower Monastery.
30 years ago, when Jue Xin was cleaning the Scripture Depository, he accidentally discovered a martial arts manual sandwiched between the Buddhist scriptures. It was called the Jade Bone Indestructible Technique.
At that time, Jue Xin was only 13 years old and was in a servant courtyard that did not allow the cultivation of martial arts. However, he had always yearned for martial arts.
Hence, he secretly practiced this martial technique.
Moreover, in order to prevent his martial cultivation from being discovered, he even secretly burned the secret manual that recorded the “Jade Bone Indestructible Technique”.
For the next 30 years, everything was peaceful. Jue Xin also secretly cultivated the nine levels of the Jade Bone Indestructible Technique to the sixth level and possessed the cultivation of the Qi Transformation Realm.
Such a realm could be called a Grandmaster in the Pugilistic World, but in the eyes of the world, Jue Xin was just an ordinary old sweeping monk.
Until one day, the famous bandit Huang Tang sneaked into the Lotus Flower Monastery’s Scripture Depository to steal books and was discovered by Jue Xin, who was cleaning.
In a moment of desperation, he used his martial technique and shattered Huang Tang’s heart meridian with a single palm strike, killing him on the spot, saving the scriptures from being stolen.
However, this also exposed his martial cultivation.
An old sweeper monk was actually a Qi Transformation Grandmaster!
This unbelievable matter immediately attracted the attention of the senior monks of Lotus Flower Monastery. After rewarding Jue Xin, they began to ask about the source of Jue Xin’s martial cultivation.
Jue Xin had grown up in the Lotus Flower Monastery from a very young age. Most of his time was spent in the Miscellaneous Court. He rarely interacted with others and was not good with words. Soon, he could not withstand the interrogation of the eminent monks and told the truth.
After learning the truth, the senior monks of Lotus Flower Monastery did not blame Jue Xin for violating the rules of the temple and practicing martial arts. Instead, they rewarded him again and even promoted him to the position of deputy head of the Dharma Court. They hoped that he would write down the “Jade Bone Indestructible Technique”.
According to the senior monk, the Jade Bone Indestructible Technique was one of the ultimate techniques of the Lotus Flower Monastery. It was a divine technique that could allow one to reach the peak of the world. It was very important to the Lotus Flower Monastery.
If he could let the Jade Bone Indestructible Technique return to the Lotus Flower Monastery, Jue Xin would have boundless merit and would be protected by Buddha for the rest of his life.
Jue Xin did not doubt him and wrote down the Jade Bone Indestructible Technique in detail.
During this process, he further deepened his understanding of this martial technique and quietly broke through to the seventh level, opening the Profound Gate between his brows and reaching the Profound Gate Realm.
After the Lotus Flower Monastery obtained the Jade Bone Indestructible Technique, they increased Juexin’s treatment and made him the head of the Dharma Court.
However, at the usual meeting of the court heads, the abbot of the Lotus Flower Monastery and the other court heads actually attacked at the same time, wanting to kill Juexin.
Fortunately, they did not know that Jue Xin had already broken through to the Profound Gate Realm and he successfully escaped from the Lotus Flower Monastery.
From then on, Jue Xin became a traitor of the Lotus Flower Monastery.
The Lotus Flower Monastery pinned the crimes of theft of martial arts, lust for women, deceiving his master and desecration of his ancestors on Jue Xin.
At the same time, he had a new identity.
Remnant Evil Immortal Wind Monk!
From then on, Jue Xin roamed the martial world, fleeing for his life. It was only then that he knew—
It turned out that the Jade Bone Indestructible Technique was not a martial technique of the Lotus Flower Monastery at all. Instead, it was the ultimate technique of the Daoist sect, Immortal Wind Monastery, that had been destroyed by the Lotus Flower Monastery a hundred years ago. It was also the general outline of many martial techniques.
Many of the Lotus Flower Monastery’s 81 ultimate techniques were based on the martial techniques of the Immortal Wind Monastery. However, because they lacked this general outline, it was difficult for them to unleash their full power.
With this “Jade Bone Indestructible Technique”, the martial arts inheritance of the Lotus Flower Monastery would rise to another level.
Jue Xin finally understood that the Lotus Flower Monastery had never believed his explanation.
They probably treated him as a remnant of the Immortal Wind Monastery from the beginning, which was why they wanted to kill him after obtaining the martial technique.
Even if their suspicions were wrong, the Lotus Flower Monastery would not lose anything.
It was already the fifth year since Jue Xin fled the martial world. His martial cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Xiantian realm and possessing the power to control the power of nature.
However, this also caused him to be hunted down even more fiercely by the Lotus Flower Monastery. They sent a total of three Xiantian Grandmasters to hunt him down.
Jue Xin naturally could not defeat the siege of three Xiantian Grandmasters. Now that he was severely injured, he could only temporarily hide in this dilapidated temple to recuperate.
When his injuries recovered a little, the three Xiantian Grandmasters of the Lotus Flower Monastery would catch up and an intense battle would erupt.
In the end, Jue Xin would rely on the powerful breakthrough skill he had cultivated with the “Jade Bone Indestructible Technique” to burn his life and forcefully kill the three Xiantian Grandmasters. However, he would also be on the verge of death.
In the original timeline, because the aftershock of the intense battle between the Xiantian Grandmasters was extremely destructive, the father and daughter pair in the dilapidated temple, as well as the two constables escorting Chen Tangwen, were all killed by the aftershock.
Only Chen Tangwen relied on the foundation left behind by his Profound Gate Realm to barely survive.
Hence, before Jue Xin died, he imparted all his cultivation skills and the “Jade Bone Indestructible Technique” to Chen Tangwen, hoping that he would rebuild the inheritance of the Immortal Wind Monastery.
Unfortunately, just as Chen Tangwen finished building an Immortal Wind Monastery, the people from the Lotus Flower Monastery came looking for him. They even brought the Imperial Court’s decree and crippled his martial cultivation again. They ordered him not to step out of Xiang County for the rest of his life.
