Chapter 2213 Tune Of The Buddhist Dao And Fulfilling A Goal
Monk Hushu had found the strange structure and decided to investigate it since his mission here was to survey and learn about the area.
And once he was close enough to the structure, it didn't take much for him to guess that there was certainly something valuable inside. Especially considering the fact that it was being protected by a barrier of Baleful energies.
He was sure that this was no normal gathering of baleful energies like in the rest of the Spatial Plane, as it was far too organized. It was similar to the Death Qi boundary, but it was made out of Baleful energies and was surrounding a single structure.
Still, since it was a yin oriented barrier in the end, Monk Hushu could take care of it.
He was a Buddhist Monk after all, and had been taught to cleanse the world of evil while obtaining enlightenment on the way. Thus this was something that could even be considered his duty in the end. With both goals aligning, he did what he was supposed to and got to purifying it. He also sent a message to his companions so that they would know where to find him. He hoped that he would be done by the time they arrived, but the work turned out to be a lot more difficult than he had thought.
Still, he purged the first barrier before they arrived but couldn't do the same with the inner barrier which was tougher than the first one due to being composed majorly of Rot Wind Qi.
But he had never thought that he would manage to invoke the Tune of the Buddhist Dao in purifying it!
"Amithabha… I owe Daoist Mu Lin a great load of debt." Monk Hushu bowed.
"It is fine." Lin Mu replied. "I've benefited from you too. My own chant seems to have improved due to it." He added.
"Haha, I don't think Daoist Mu Lin knows what this means to Monk Hushu." Daoist Chu, who knew more about the monk, said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Mu raised his brows.
"It was actually a mission assigned by my teacher. He wished for me to invoke the Tune of the Buddhist Dao before I returned to my Temple." Monk Hushu replied.
"Oh? Is there a reason for it?" Lin Mu wondered.
"Of course. The Buddhist Technique I cultivate has several sections to it and in order to qualify to learn the next part, I needed to achieve the Tune of the Buddhist Dao." Monk Hushu explained. "I've been trying for several years now, and it was also one of the reasons why I was sent to the Immortal court.
They hoped that by obtaining more experience and seeing the world, I might just gain the enlightenment necessary to achieve the tune of the Buddhist Dao. I've been at it for decades, but now I've finally done it…" he said with emotion in his voice.
"I didn't expect it to be that serious." Lin Mu was genuinely surprised.
"Do you know what the Tune of the Buddhist Dao is?" Daoist Chu asked.
"No… this is the first time I've heard of it." Lin Mu shook his head.
"It is one of the major bottlenecks for a Buddhist Cultivator. Those who cannot reach it will never be qualified to become Senior Monks and, of course, they will not be able to progress in their cultivation past a certain stage either." Monk Hushu explained. "Even if my Qi cultivation managed to reach the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, my comprehension of the Buddhist Dao will be lacking. As such, my foundation will be ultimately weak." He added.
"It's the same as your Sword Intent. You've reached the Peak Sword Intent, which is something that would be needed for a sword cultivator to progress in their Sword Dao." Elder Hu chimed in. "A Sword Cultivator with his cultivation at the Seventh Tribulation Stage, without having the necessary Sword Intent to back, it would basically be the same as a castle standing on sand. He may as well be using a rusty sword that had been dulled by the years at that rate." He gave an example.
"I see…" Lin Mu could understand it better now. It was all a matter of balancing one's cultivation base with their comprehension of the Dao. Both things affected one another, but one could not progress far in either if the balance was not maintained.
"Now that I've achieved the Tune of the Buddhist Dao, I can obtain the next part of my scriptures and have a free hand to progress all the way to the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm and perhaps even beyond if fate holds it for me." Monk Hushu replied. "I am happy for you then." Lin Mu said with a smile. "May you go beyond and touch upon the realm of celestials." He blessed.
"Amithabha." Monk Hushu chanted. "May you achieve the same." ~Sigh~
"Even Monk Hushu has finished his goal. When will we finish ours?" Crown princess Shang let out a sign.
"You haw them too?" Lin Mu raised his brows.
"Most candidates that are sent to learn at the Immortal court have their own missions assigned by the powers they come from, of course." Crown prince confirmed. "Then has only Monk Hushu finished his goal?" Lin Mu wondered.
"Well, I have finished it too." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
"You were the first one to finish it. And now Monk Hushu is the second. I sure as hell thought I was going to be second." Crown Princess Shang shook hear head.
"At least you three have your goals in sight. I don't think mine is even possible at the current stage." Daoist Chu smiled wryly.
"And what is your goal?" Lin Mu couldn't help but ask.
"Create my Second Dao Embryo." Daoist Chu answered.
"A Second Dao Embryo? Shouldn't that be easy for someone like you though, Daoist Chu?" Lin Mu didn't think the man should have that many issues.
