Chapter 469: Step by Step, Blossoming Lotus
After taking a moment to flatter the person,
Ye Tianxin hurried back to Lin Feng and the others, recounting everything he had learned.
“Fated person? They really know how to have fun…”
Lin Feng chuckled in disbelief.
Just then,
the crowd ahead suddenly erupted in excitement.
“They’re here! The sage from the Holy Temple has arrived!”
“Wow! Truly a sage! With every step, he walks like a lotus blooming, radiating brilliance! Looking at him feels like seeing a Buddha…”
“Look behind the sage! Isn’t that the fated person from last time? I’m so envious; this person was just an ordinary Heavenly Realm warrior a decade ago, and now they’ve reached the peak of Martial God!”
….
Hearing these words,
Lin Feng, Jiang Yanxi, Ye Tianxin, and Chen Shanxi turned to look,
only to see a group of people slowly descending from the nearby mountain!
At the forefront was a middle-aged monk wearing a red high hat and a red-yellow robe, holding a golden Zen staff, his expression solemn and dignified.
Most importantly,
with every step he took, he left behind a faint footprint, within which a subtle lotus phenomenon emerged, shimmering with extraordinary brilliance!
This divine phenomenon, combined with the monk’s solemn face,
truly gave the impression of a Buddha descending to the world!
Behind the monk,
there were three other individuals!
One was an elderly man in gray robes, with kind eyes!
The other two were exquisite maidens in white long dresses, their beauty striking!
Each of the maidens held a black wooden box, closely following the elderly man, afraid to fall behind…
And one of them was none other than Feng Ling’er!
However, at this moment, Feng Ling’er appeared dazed, her beautiful eyes filled with a dull gray hue, devoid of any color.
“Step by step, a lotus blooms, a manifestation of enlightenment?”
Lin Feng was somewhat astonished.
This was the first time he had witnessed such a scene!
In legends,
the blooming lotus with every step is a phenomenon that only a sage can manifest!
Sages comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth, their words manifesting the law, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Dao, unaffected by material joys or personal sorrows, with every movement revealing the essence of the Dao…
Of course!
If this monk before him had truly reached such a realm,
he certainly wouldn’t believe it…
Because this realm has already transcended the mundane; even an old man could not reach it, perhaps only the legendary immortals could achieve it…
“It seems there is indeed some depth to this; no wonder it attracts so many people…”
Jiang Yanxi murmured to herself.
Compared to the two,
Ye Tianxin’s gaze was entirely focused on Feng Ling’er behind!
He felt as if struck by lightning, standing frozen in place!
He had thought that after Feng Ling’er returned to the Spirit Realm, he might never encounter her again in this lifetime…
Now, seeing her again,
he was overwhelmed with ecstatic joy!
But soon,
his emotions calmed down, and he questioned:
“Wait, isn’t Ling’er a disciple of the Lingyun Pavilion? How did she end up here? And she seems so unhappy, like… like a marionette.”
“The spiritual energy is dim, and the essence of the Dao is absent! She is completely different from how she was in the West Sea Secret Realm; it seems her foundation has been destroyed!”
Lin Feng immediately recognized Feng Ling’er’s current state.
“Her foundation has been destroyed?”
Ye Tianxin’s heart jolted at the words,
looking at Feng Ling’er, who appeared haggard and vacant, he felt as if his heart was shattering, his nose tinged with a sourness, overwhelmed with pain!
Since more than twenty years ago,
when his entire family was exterminated, he had never felt such a sensation!
It was a feeling of heartache, pain, and despair!
And at this moment!
He could finally confirm that he had fallen for Feng Ling’er!
What on earth happened?
How could Feng Ling’er, a true disciple of the Lingyun Pavilion, have her foundation destroyed,
and why was she discarded here like a pawn?
Complex emotions surged within him, prompting Ye Tianxin to shout loudly:
“Feng Ling’er!”
This shout successfully drew the attention of everyone present!
“Swish, swish, swish~”
Countless gazes turned toward Ye Tianxin, their expressions filled with hostility…
The sage from the Holy Temple had arrived, standing on the high platform ready to preach the Dharma and select the fated ones…
Everyone had maintained relative silence,
yet someone dared to make a loud commotion?
Especially upon seeing that Ye Tianxin was merely a Martial Master, their faces were filled with anger.
“Who are you? Don’t you see the sage is about to preach the Dharma?”
“Are you looking for a beating? If you want to die, just go ahead!”
“Damn it, what bad luck! Why does this pilgrimage attract all kinds of people…”
……
Facing the crowd’s accusations,
Ye Tianxin seemed to be deaf to their words, his gaze solely fixed on Feng Ling’er,
at the same time,
Feng Ling’er also saw Ye Tianxin,
a slight ripple of emotion crossed her dazed face, but it quickly settled back into calm…
In truth, after being stripped of her foundation by her master and expelled from the Lingyun Pavilion,
she had thought a lot.
Her early life had been spent under countless dazzling lights,
she had once achieved a top-ten finish in the sect’s youth competition,
was a true disciple of her sect, and was regarded as the Master Sister Feng Ling by everyone…
With her talent, breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm and reaching her master’s level seemed almost guaranteed.
But all that glory vanished after encountering Ye Tianxin,
Ye Tianxin was the body of the Ancient Declining God,
this physique was born with misfortune, and its later years were ominous…
Anyone who had contact with him would not have a good ending…
The Beast Tamer Elder died after possessing Ye Tianxin,
and she, having had intimate contact with Ye Tianxin, had also become what she was now…
She was truly frightened!
“Ling’er, what’s wrong? Who turned you into this?”
Ye Tianxin’s expression was agitated as he stepped forward.
But at that moment,
Feng Ling’er nervously said:
“Stay away from me!”
“Ling’er, you…”
Ye Tianxin quickly halted his steps, forcing a smile as he spoke.
“Can we talk privately later? I have something to say to you…”
“No need! I have nothing to discuss with you…”
Feng Ling’er coldly rejected.
Ye Tianxin wanted to say something more upon hearing this.
But just then,
“Hmph! Don’t you see what kind of occasion this is? Wasting everyone’s time here! Get out!”
A powerful warrior from the Martial Soul Realm rushed over, reaching for Ye Tianxin’s shoulder.
“None of your business!”
Ye Tianxin was already extremely irritated,
seeing someone dare to come and cause trouble, he immediately showed no fear, channeling all his strength and delivering a powerful punch!
In an instant,
“Boom!”
The two hands collided violently, producing a thunderous sound!
In the next moment,
the Martial Soul warrior was sent flying by Ye Tianxin’s punch, landing several meters away and rolling on the ground before finally stabilizing himself!
“Trash!”
Ye Tianxin scoffed.
“You…”
The Martial Soul warrior was both shocked and furious,
his hidden hand trembling slightly in his sleeve.
He could not comprehend how this man, who appeared to be merely a Martial Master, could be so strong!
Ye Tianxin glanced back at Lin Feng,
noticing that his leader was watching calmly, showing no intention to intervene, which instantly boosted his confidence!
“What are you? Not convinced?”
Ye Tianxin snorted coldly, pushing off the ground with one foot, his body shooting forward,
in an instant, he was in front of the Martial Soul warrior,
kicking out!
The force was astonishing, the speed incredibly fast,
creating a series of sonic booms!
Though he was the body of the Ancient Declining God, he was still a special physique, and his combat power could naturally surpass his level.
