Chapter 331 The Daytime Wanderer
Buddhist martial arts usually leave people a glimmer of hope, because the purpose of Buddhism has always been to save people, not to kill them.
Even with powerful Buddhist martial arts, users rarely take lives easily.
While sword techniques are not the primary martial arts in Buddhism, there are still quite a few, with the Bodhi Sword Technique and the Compassionate Sword Technique being the most prominent. These techniques are primarily for subduing enemies, not for killing people.
Within Buddhism, there is only one sword technique that can easily take lives—that is, Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Sword.
This martial art, as its name suggests, is not something anyone would use lightly; if it were used, it would inevitably break a precept. And what this sword technique breaks is precisely the precept against killing.
Xue Bahuang personally went to Leiyin Temple to obtain the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Blade, so that it could be used to refine the sword techniques of his Blood Slaughter Sect. This demonstrates that the power of the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Blade is no less than that of the Blood Slaughter Sect's renowned sword techniques.
Lin Fei never expected that the monk in front of him, who looked like he had been dead for a long time and whose life force was not even a trace, would suddenly attack him.
Moreover, the power of this attack surprised Lin Fei. For a moment, all four of his limbs completely lost their ability to move, and he was about to die under the sharp blade light.
Just at this critical moment, the True Martial Daoist robe Lin Fei was wearing flashed with golden light, and at the same time, Xuan She's anxious voice rang in his ears: "Boy, run! This monk is extremely powerful; you are no match for him!"
The true spirits of the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle appeared, blocking the extremely sharp blade for Lin Fei. At the same time, the power from the True Martial Robe restored Lin Fei's ability to move.
Lin Fei dared not delay and took off running. In the blink of an eye, he had already run nearly a hundred miles.
Seeing that the nameless monk hadn't pursued him, Lin Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped. At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate—he didn't know who that nameless monk was, yet he was so powerful. If the spirit of the Xuan Snake Turtle hadn't appeared in time, he probably would have been cut in two by that single strike.
"Seniors, are you alright?" Lin Fei asked the Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle telepathically.
After a long while, the extremely weak voice of the black snake finally rang out: "Thank goodness, we won't die. That monk was incredibly powerful! Fortunately, we are both true spirits, without physical bodies, so we can recover after a while. Otherwise, we would probably have died at the hands of that great monk today!"
The spirit turtle also said in a muffled voice, "Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Blade, I didn't expect that such a martial art would also be passed down in Buddhism. That great monk was probably close to the strength of an Earth Immortal when he was alive. Fortunately, he has been dead for a long time and is acting entirely on a trace of his will and instincts from his previous life. Otherwise, the two of us would not be able to save you today."
I never imagined that the nameless monk I saw earlier possessed such strength in his lifetime, a being close to an Earth Immortal, perhaps not much weaker than the current number one expert, the Hidden Sword Elder. How could such a Buddhist master appear here? And how could he have died in the world of the stone tablet?
Lin Fei was filled with questions, but at this moment, no one could answer the questions that troubled him.
“However, it seems that although that monk was powerful, he has been dead for a long time. Only those who get close to him will be attacked by his last instinctive will before he died,” Xuan She said. “As long as we don’t get close to him, we should be safe.”
“This Asura Path is fraught with danger. The two of us just used a lot of our strength to block that big monk’s attack, so we’re afraid we can’t help you much for the time being.” The spirit turtle said in a muffled voice, “Be careful yourself. We need to rest and recover our energy for a while. We’re afraid we can’t help you much with the matter of finding the origin of reincarnation.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the voices of the Black Serpent and the Spirit Turtle completely disappeared. Although they were spirits, the nameless monk's attack could not inflict fatal injuries on them. However, the attack had consumed a large amount of their energy, and they would probably not be able to reappear to fight for a while.
Lin Fei temporarily put the matter of the mysterious monk out of his mind. Just as the Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle had said, the nameless monk had been dead for who knows how many years. No matter how powerful he was in life, he was now just a corpse. As long as he didn't get too close to the monk's location, he wouldn't attract his attacks.
Lin Fei's primary goal now is to find the source power of reincarnation in the Asura Path. After all, he doesn't have much time; he only has one day.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Fei summoned the Rabbit Sun Star Lord from the minor world of the Animal Realm. Now that Lin Fei has completely mastered the power of reincarnation in the Animal Realm, he can freely put people into the reincarnation world of the Animal Realm and summon them out at will.
As soon as the Star Lord of the Rabbit appeared and saw Lin Fei, he immediately bowed and said, "I wonder what business you have with me, sir?"
The Star Lord of the Rabbit Sun made a solemn oath to be loyal to Lin Fei. Moreover, Lin Fei had placed many restrictions on him, and his life and death were entirely in Lin Fei's hands. Therefore, the Star Lord of the Rabbit Sun was very respectful to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei asked, "Do you know which of the Six Gods of Houtu was sealed in the Asura Path by the True Martial Emperor?"
"Is this the Asura Path?" Mao Ri Xingjun looked around and seemed a little surprised. He hadn't expected that Lin Fei would find the Asura Path so soon after obtaining the Animal Path.
After thinking carefully, Mao Ri Xingjun replied, "If I remember correctly, the one sealed in the Asura Path world should be the Day Wanderer among the Six Gods!"
The six gods of Houtu are Mao Ri, Zhi Yue, Si Ming, Ri You, Ye You, and Shang Guan. These six ancient gods have the cultivation of a celestial being, and Ri You is one of them.
The Day Wanderer is mainly responsible for the changes of the four seasons in the six realms of reincarnation. Together with the Night Wanderer, they are responsible for the alternation of the four seasons in the six realms of reincarnation and record the changes of day and night.
"These two gods, Day Wanderer and Night Wanderer, are among the six gods of Houtu, just like me. However, because they are only responsible for recording the alternation of day and night and the changes of the four seasons, their combat power is considered to be at the bottom among the six gods of Houtu." The Rabbit Sun Star Lord said to Lin Fei, "When the demonic energy descended upon the Six Paths of Reincarnation, these two were the least affected by the demonic energy, and it is even possible that they still retain their divine positions to this day."
After listening, Lin Fei asked the Sun God, "Do you have a way to find the location of the Sun Wanderer in this Asura Path?"
This small world is incredibly vast, and Lin Fei only has one day; he doesn't have time to slowly search for the location of the Day Wanderer. He can only hope that Mao Ri Xingjun, another of the six gods of Houtu, can find out his whereabouts.
“I can give it a try.” Mao Ri Xingjun nodded and said, “My lord, please wait here. If that old fellow still retains his divine position, I should be able to find him without much difficulty.”
After saying this, the figure of the Rabbit Sun Star Lord transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.
