Chapter 85: Enlightenment.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Outside the Scripture Pavilion.
Su Qin examined the Essence Gathering Holy Land array.
“If I want to set up this array, I would need 999 jades……” Su Qin slightly frowned.
No matter what kind of Heaven and Earth array it is, it needs a medium to create it. The Essence Gathering Holy Land is no exception.
“999 jades……” Su Qin thought for a while and prepared to let Abbot Hui Wen gather these materials for him.
Shaolin Temple is a Great Sect with thousands of disciples. It should be easy to find the 999 jades that Su Qin needs.
Su Qin explained this to Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads, the latter were immediately attracted by it.
This was the first time Su Qin has asked them to do something. So how dare Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads slack off?
On this day, Xuan Ku finally returned to the Shaolin Temple.
The return of Xuan Ku naturally caused some shock in the Shaolin Temple, including Abbot Hui Wen. After the Court Heads met with Xuan Ku, they asked him to go to the Back Mountain Forbidden Area and see Su Qin.
Back Mountain Forbidden Area.
“Greetings Venerable.” Xuan Ku said respectfully as he moved towards Su Qin.
If it weren’t for the wooden sword given by the Venerable, Xuan Ku would have died in the hands of the Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.
It can be said that Su Qin had not only given him preaching grace, but also life-saving grace.
“Do you have doubts?” Su Qin glanced at Xuan Ku and pointed out.
Maybe Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads couldn’t see it, but with Su Qin’s Divine Sense, Xuan Ku cannot hide anything.
“Venerable…”
Xuan Ku hesitated for a while, before he bowed his head and said, “Disciple is confused.”
During the time he spent in the outside world, Xuan Ku has been deeply enlightened and the doubts in his heart have become stronger.
“Tell me about it.” Su Qin slowly said.
“Yes.”
Xuan Ku took a deep breath, paused, and continued: “Venerable, Disciple has found that all beings are after profit and gain. What’s more, in order to achieve their goals, by fair means or foul, and even commit atrocities, they will do it.”
“Disciple does not know whether this behavior is right or wrong. If it is wrong, why is no one seeking to correct it?” Xuan Ku raised his head and looked at Su Qin.
“Right or wrong?”
Su Qin smiled, he said: “All things are bound by the law of Heaven and Earth, there is no right or wrong. You can think of it like a wolf eating sheep and sheep eating grass.”
“Neither the wolf nor sheep is wrong for eating what they eat, which could possibly affect nature. The reason why you think whether it is right or wrong is because you think about whether it is right or wrong. It’s all in your mind.”
Su Qin words were like bells that reverberated in Xuan Ku’s heart.
“There is no right or wrong.”
“It’s all in the mind…”
Xuan Ku’ eyes became brighter by the second, he had realized something.
“Many thanks Venerable for enlightening this disciple.” Xuan Ku bowed deeply and said respectfully.
“Go down.” Su Qin waved his hand and said.
“Yes.” Xuan Ku bowed back.
“Aiii…”
“Why are you already thinking about philosophy at such a young age?” Su Qin shook his head.
If you were to ask this question to ordinary people, even those high-ranking Monks and Holy Monks, they may necessarily not be able to answer.
But who is Su Qin?
He’s a human being that has lived two lives, he has all his knowledge from his previous life. How can he be stumped by Xuan Ku’s question?
“Xuan Ku no longer has a knot in his heart, so he should be able to enter Grade 1 Great Grandmaster before the age of forty.” Su Qin thoughts.
A forty year old Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, although it is far from being compared with Su Qin, it certainly belongs to the top geniuses in the world. If there is enough opportunity in the future, he possibly can even touch Arhat Buddhahood.
Of course, even if everything goes well, and Xuan Ku gets close to the Arhat Buddhahood, it will still be one or two hundred years later.
If compared to Su Qin’s current cultivation speed, one or two hundred years later, even if he does not completely transcend the Arhat Realm, at least he’ll reach the pinnacle of the 9th Heavenly Layer.
“I hope you can grow up as much as possible before the Scripture Pavilion’s Dao Accumulation is exhausted.” Su Qin thought.
“My little sister should also be living well in Chang’an, right?” Su Qin raised his head slightly and looked towards Chang’an City.
Since entering Arhat Buddhahood, Su Qin once quietly returned to Yan City, Cangzhou.
It’s just that when Su Qin got there, he learned that the Su Family had moved to Chang’an.
Though he’s not at all worried regarding the safety of the Su Family.
Chang’an City is at the feet of Emperor Tang. And with the Prince Li Sheng there, how could there be trouble in the Su Family?
Furthermore, Li Sheng has now been conferred as the Crown Prince by Emperor Tang. As long as Emperor Tang does not die too soon, the Su Family can sit back and relax.
Apart from this, he also gave the jade pendant to his little sister which contained a strand of his Divine Sense.
Through this strand of Divine Sense, even if Su Qin can’t know what she has experienced, he can still roughly judge his little sister’s state and whether she is safe or not.
Divine Sense is different from Sword Intent.
Sword Intent is a trace of Su Qin’s strength, while Divine Sense is a part of Su Qin.
To put it simply, if the Sword Intent in the wooden sword that Su Qin gave to Xuan Ku broke out, Su Qin could only determine that the Sword Intent broke out, but couldn’t determine why the Sword Intent broke out. That’s why Su Qin didn’t know what kind of enemy Xuan Ku faced.
But Divine Sense is different.
If the Divine Sense in the jade pendant worn by Su Yueyun breaks out, even if Su Qin is far away, he can roughly feel the situation on Su Yueyun’s side.
And over the years, through the interaction with the jade pendant, Su Qin is very sure that Su Yueyun is very safe, whether it is physically or mentally. She is living a good life.
“There is still a need for Cultivation.”
“Beyond the continent, in the depths of the endless ocean, there are still the unknown Legends. My current strength is strong on this continent, but in terms of the entire world, I am not invincible. There’s definitely powerhouses of the same level as the current me!”
Su Qin settled down and swallowed a Glazed Golden Core. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in Cultivation.
…
At the same time.
In Chang’an City.
In a luxurious palace.
It was bustling; singing and dancing filled the joyous atmosphere.
A man wearing a brocade robe was sitting upstairs.
At this moment, the man has a gloomy expression, obviously suppressing some anger.
“What does Emperor Father mean?”
“That offshoot was crowned Crown Prince?!”
The man slammed the table in fury.
