Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1106 - 504: The New Buddha of Uss City, On the Art of Skipping Classes

[Although the title of the White Elephant Demon’s eldest senior disciple seemed somewhat ill-fitting, he was indeed the earliest disciple under the Bodhisattva Sect.]

[After reviewing the scroll, the ’Altar Master’ consulted some ancient scriptures that had been sealed away for a long time and finally found a definitive record of the ’Six-Toothed White Elephant Demon.’]

[By now, it had come to believe that you, the ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha,’ were indeed entrusted by the Bodhisattva to gather the power of incense fire, after all, the Bodhisattva’s eldest disciple had descended to join you.]

Once his title was justified, it naturally made speaking easier. Lin Xun pulled out a Buddhist Technique scripture that he had snatched from the Bodhisattva and gave it to the Altar Master, instructing him to allow his family and trusted followers to practice it.

The practice of Buddhist Techniques is not to be disseminated, only the devout monks within temples could practice them.

Monks who had just entered monastic life could not learn the profound techniques, one must have sufficient qualifications and spend many years practicing in the temple to be able to learn advanced techniques.

Moreover, becoming a monk was not a trivial matter, one had to possess ’wisdom roots’ to even have the opportunity to be ordained and become a monk.

For the Altar Master who controlled Uss City’s military and political affairs, this scripture was not considered extremely precious.

However, Lin Xun had given him special treatment by breaking the rule of ’not transmitting the Dharma outside’ and allowing his family and trusted followers to practice this technique; such favor was no small matter.

As a result, the Altar Master became genuinely grateful and undoubtedly turned into Lin Xun’s supporter.

Not only did Lin Xun bestow the Altar Master with techniques, he also organized the stolen techniques into different levels and tiers, planning to award some of the low-level techniques that he did not need to the surviving monks in the ’Evil Treasure Pagoda.’

However, these techniques were not awarded unconditionally; rather, the monks needed to educate the populace of Uss City for him, and for every citizen they converted to offer the power of incense fire to him, they would gain a bit of ’merit.’

The monks had to accumulate a large amount of ’merit’ to gain access to the practice of these techniques.

Thus, the monks would zealously promote the ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha,’ ensuring that all the citizens of the city would devoutly worship this new Buddha.

Unconsciously, Lin Xun had imported the capitalists’ schemes.

The Altar Master, having controlled Uss City’s military and political affairs for many years, quickly discussed an implementation plan with his trusted aides to fully support Lin Xun’s undertaking of gathering the power of incense fire.

After settling matters with the Altar Master, according to the original plan, Lin Xun still needed to ’show saint’ once, to allow the people and monks of Uss City to witness the ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha’s boundless Buddhist power, in order to harvest the power of incense fire more swiftly and smoothly.

But he was somewhat worried that ’showing saint’ would cause too much of a commotion; after all, Uss City was the site where he had been suppressed in the beginning, and by now the great BOSS Bodhisattva had probably realized that not only had he run off, he had also taken the Bodhisattva’s eldest disciple with him.

With the situation being so critical at the moment, even the cloaking of his ’Chaos Ability’ might not withstand him willfully seeking his own doom.

After much deliberation, Lin Xun decided to forgo using the fastest method of harvesting incense fire, ’showing saint.’

[...]

[You fully activate the ’Cycle of All Evil Karma,’ and a halo of black qi swirling around you appears behind you!]

[Within it, the various essences of the Six Great Reincarnations are revealed, and at the same time, the temporary divine platform surges with stones, combining and gathering into a ’Carved Stone Statue’ grade deity statue.]

[This deity statue, identical to your ’Son of Evil’ Shell, had an indistinct face but bore a dignified and sacred appearance—both benevolent and compassionate to all beings and wrathful with bulging eyes, mighty and formidable!]

[The Altar Master, seeing such great divine powers, couldn’t help but kneel down devoutly and worship the statue...]

[After bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, he stood up and addressed you with reverence, Buddha, rebuilding the ’Evil Treasure Pagoda’ will take several months, during which time he will arrange for monks and citizens to offer incense fire to You, the Venerable Elder.]

[However, he wonders whether the name ’Evil Treasure Pagoda,’ originating from the ’Mother of all Evils Buddha,’ should now be changed?] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Lin Xun frowned, facing the troublesome task of naming.

The Evil Treasure Pagoda had been destroyed in his conflict with the Mother Buddha, leaving the once magnificent and stately temple in ruins. The Altar Master chose a Treasure Hall that was the least damaged, and after hastily repairing it, it was barely suitable as a place of worship.

After creating a deity statue with his divine powers on the temporarily built divine platform, the Altar Master suggested renaming the Evil Treasure Pagoda.

[You ponder for a moment before telling the Altar Master, from now on, let’s rename this pagoda to ’Leiyin Temple.’]

[The Altar Master repeated the name ’Leiyin Temple’ a few times and then praised it with a clap, Leiyin Temple, Leiyin Temple, Buddha’s teachings echoing like thunder, what a fitting name for Leiyin Temple!]

[You showed no change in expression, not the slightest bit of shame for your blatant plagiarism.]

[You continued to the Altar Master, That’s right, you should resonate like rolling thunder, spreading the grand Buddhist teachings to every inch of the mortal realm.]

[However, you’ve heard that while the public in the Vermilion Land are devout followers of Buddhism, lands overseas have yet to be enlightened by Buddhist teachings and still have barbarians practicing Daoist arts.]

[You desire to travel to that Penglai Immortal Island, to convert the Qi Refiners who have strayed off the path, but you lament the vastness of the Immortal Island, its whereabouts unknown...]

[Altar Master, does anyone in Uss City know any rumors or legends about Penglai?]

[The White Elephant Demon, listening to you blathering on, pursed its large mouth and kept a straight face with difficulty, managing to maintain a serious expression.]

[The Altar Master, upon hearing your inquiry, thought carefully before replying to you, Buddha, he does know of some rumors; legend has it that Penglai Immortal Island is located in the boundless Eastern Mysterious Sea, a dwelling for Daoist immortals.]
