Sign In Buddha’s Palm

Chapter 27



“Junior Brother Zhen Guan, tell me, is there any truth in my guess?”

Zhen Zhi glared at the Monks, then looked towards Su Qin, looking forward to his opinion and backing.

“En…”

Su Qin put aside the book. He thought for a moment and said: “What you said makes sense.”

“See, even Junior Brother Zhen Guan understands me!” Zhen Zhi grinned.

In the next while, Zhen Zhi chatted with the Monks more before they left.

When the group finally left, Su Qin whispered to himself: “Meng Yuan’s Imperial Teacher? Daoist Zhang?”

Before entering the Shaolin Temple, when Su Qin was still in the Su Family, he had heard of these two.

At that time, Su Qin could only think that such existences were unreachable.

“Peak Grade 1’s?”

A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.

Although Su Qin does not exactly know whether he is the ‘best’ Grade 1 in the world, but based on the current cards up his sleeve, he overshadows any ordinary Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.

He even has a feeling that once [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] and [Lunar Body Refining Technique] tempered his body to the extreme, he could defeat an ordinary Grade 1 Great Grandmaster with just his body alone.

When Shi Xue escaped from the Demon Subduing Tower, the Shaolin Temple realized that the Demon Subduing Tower had loopholes and began to repair the Demon Subduing Tower.

Since the Demons in the Tower were already devoured by Shi Xue, at least the Shaolin Temple doesn’t have to worry that about this point.

One year passed in a blink of an eye.

As always, Su Qin returned to his usual life.

In addition to Signing-In at various places, Su Qin was also focused on cultivating [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] and [Lunar Body Refining Technique].

“Finally! I have reached the limit…”

Su Qin’s eyes slowly opened.

Ever since he discovered that cultivating a Yin Body Cultivation Technique and combining it with [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] could help him further improve his body a year ago; every night under the moon, Su Qin cultivated the [Lunar Body Refining Technique] that he specifically got.

Currently, the greyish aura produced by the fusion of [Lunar Body Refining Technique] and [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] can no longer enhance his body, meaning he had reached the limit.

“It seems that even with the Yin and Yang in harmony, the body still cannot be transformed endlessly…”

For this, Su Qin was a little bit regretful.

“Nonetheless, I can now challenge a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster with just my body alone…”

“Even if I just stand still and let a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster attack me, can he break through my defense?”

Su Qin thought.

If he had only relied solely on [Invincible Vajra Divine Art], even if he cultivated it to Great Accomplishment, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve this. His body’s strength could, at most, compare to an ordinary Upper Realm Martial Artist, specifically a Grade 3 Martial Artist.

But now.

Su Qin combined the [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] with the [Lunar Body Refining Technique], and his body’s strength soared to the level of challenging a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster!

If Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads were to learn about this, their eyes would pop out of their sockets from too much shock.

With only the body, one can challenge a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster?

Just how terrifying must your body be in order to achieve this?

Even the Meng Yuan’s Imperial Teacher, who claims to have the strength of dragons and elephants, may not be able to achieve this level, right?

“Now, how can I achieve Arhat Buddhahood?”

Su Qin stood up. He looked up at the retreating moon, and muttered to himself.

In the past year, Su Qin has taken at least hundreds of Divine Accumulation Pills to continuously accumulate his Divinity; but even now, he still couldn’t touch the Legend Realm.

“There must be another aspect that I haven’t achieved the extreme yet.”

But despite not achieving Arhat Buddhahood yet, Su Qin was not discouraged. That’s because, ever since his body has been tempered to the extreme, he faintly felt that his Life Essence got an upgrade and extended his lifespan.

Generally speaking, a normal Grade 1 Great Grandmaster’s lifespan is two hundred years.

But Su Qin’s current Life Essence has doubled, reaching 400 years.

400 years!

Even an Arhat/Legend can only live up to 500 years old, which is almost similar to Su Qin’s currently.

“There is still a lot of time, there’s no hurry.”

At this moment, Su Qin thought of the Grade 1 Great Grandmaster Jiuqu Sanren who died during meditation in the Thousand Buddhas Hall.

Although Jiuqu Sanren is a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, he had only lived for more than 160 years before he died of old age.

Even though a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster claims to have a maximum of 200 years of life, there are very few Grade 1 Great Grandmasters that can actually achieve that 200 years.

The overwhelming majority of Grade 1 Great Grandmasters can only live more than 150 years, and would die during meditation because of the internal injuries they had suffered in their lifetime.

The next day.

After Su Qin Signed In, he happened to pass by Great Strength Hall.

And all of a sudden.

A jade carriage arrived. The jade carriage was extremely gorgeous, and was carved with dark gold lines.

“Hmm?”

Su Qin stopped and his eyes fell on an old eunuch wearing a red eunuch’s uniform, standing beside the jade chariot.

Although the old eunuch was bowing and his aura was not apparent, Su Qin could still see through him. The eunuch was a Grade 2 Martial Artist.

“Mr. Hong is here, what’s seems to be the matter?”

Abbot Hui Wen arrived along with the Court Heads and solemnly looked at the old eunuch.

The old eunuch, called Mr. Hong, took a step slowly and said in a sharp voice: “The Imperial Empress Li worships Buddha. She had heard that the Shaolin Temple is a Buddhist’s Holy Land, and she wants to cultivate here for a while.“

Mr. Hong barely even finished his words, but Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads’ expressions already changed.

Empress Li?

Emperor Tang’s favorite concubine?

Abbot Hui Wen instinctively felt that this was a big trouble.

Isn’t Empress Li supposed to stay in the palace and serve Emperor Tang? What does she want to do in the Shaolin Temple?

“Mr. Hong.”

“The Shaolin Temple’s precepts stated that females can not be admitted to the Temple. But if the Empress is really interested in Buddhism, this poor Monk can only give some Buddhist scriptures to the Empress but is not allowed to have her stay here…”

Abbot Hui Wen responded immediately, albeit still respectful.

Although the Shaolin Temple is a Great Sect, it was not willing to provoke the Palace nor meddle in their internal affairs.

Especially this Empress Li, who seems to have a very bad relationship with several nobles in the Palace.

Currently Emperor Tang is already quite old. Hence, several princes were having both open and hidden conflicts, and were struggling to claim the throne. At this time, if the Shaolin Temple accepts Empress Li, it would be tantamount to taking the initiative to take over a hot potato.

“Hmph!”

Mr. Hong sneered: “This is Your Majesty’s edict, does your Shaolin Temple still dare not follow?”

When Mr. Hong finished speaking, he took out a golden manuscript and looked at Abbot Hui Wen coldly.

“Emperor Tang’s edict?”

Abbot Hui Wen was silent.

If it was only Empress Li saying that she wants to cultivate for a period of time in the Shaolin Temple, then Abbot Hui Wen can use the Shaolin Temple’s precepts to decline.

After all, the Empress is just a concubine in the palace. Even if she is favored by His Majesty, what can she do?

But if there’s Emperor Tang’s edict, Abbot Hui Wen has to be careful when dealing with this matter.

Emperor Tang’s edict represents the will of the Great Emperor Tang.

Once the Shaolin Temple refuses, it is tantamount to rebelling against the Emperor.

This would be extremely bad for the Shaolin Temple, since it is within the territory of the Great Tang Empire.

After a long while, Abbot Hui Wen was finally barely able to squeeze out a smile: “Since it is His Majesty’s will, then Empress Li can stay…”

“Empress Li?”

Su Qin’s gaze fell on the jade carriage. Under the [Eyes of Truth]’s insight, his expression flashed strangely.
