Chapter 178

Both women knew that Lin Feng, the Son of Destiny, was not so easy to kill.

Unexpectedly, this time Lin Feng encountered a crisis that even drew out the Buddha Old Ancestor.

Looking around, the Buddha Old Ancestor could see at a glance that Qingning and Jiang Lianyue had both gone mad.

Not just the two women. In fact, his divine consciousness had always enveloped the entire Buddha Temple, and the movements of people from the Jiuyan Sect and others were crystal clear to him.

So he was well aware that Xiao Hongyi had also gone mad.

The actions of the people from the Jiuyan Sect were also incomprehensible.

They all claimed they wanted to “save Lin Feng,” yet they did nothing to save him when he was in danger, and Xiao Hongyi even forced him to take hundreds of poison pills.

‘The Jiuyan Sect is not right!’ thought the Buddha Old Ancestor.

Not just not right, but very wrong!

Although there had been occasional friction between the two sects, they generally got along and looked upon each other favorably.

But now, every disciple of the Jiuyan Sect feels repulsive to the Buddha Old Ancestor.

It’s just like seeing disciples of the demonic path.

Only this Lin Feng, the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he found him!

That’s why this Lin Feng must not die.

Although the Buddha Old Ancestor also saw that the Jiuyan Sect’s purpose was definitely not to save Lin Feng, if Lin Feng died, those madmen from the Jiuyan Sect would have no excuse, and who knows what madness they would descend into!

For the sake of the Buddha Temple and for the sake of righteousness, Lin Feng absolutely must not die.

But after taking a look at Lin Feng, the Buddha Old Ancestor frowned slightly.

Lin Feng had taken too many poison pills, and to save his life, he must be infused with Buddhist teachings, using the Dharma to purify the toxins in his body.

However, such an infusion of the Dharma should not be used on outsiders.

After all, doing so would allow Lin Feng to understand the Dharma and set him on the path of Buddhism.

“Let it be. We are fated,” the Buddha Old Ancestor shook his head.

As his words fell, three rays of Buddha light shot out from his golden body, two imprisoning Jiang Lianyue and Qingning, while another directly entered Lin Feng’s mind.

With the Dharma entering his body, Lin Feng stopped struggling.

The toxins that had been causing him agonizing pain just moments ago could no longer harm him.

Not only that, Lin Feng felt himself entering a state of a sage, free from desires and wants.

In this state, his Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique operated even faster, and he even gained insights into the Way of the Saber!

“Quickly sit cross-legged and regulate your breath. How much of the Dharma you can comprehend depends entirely on your fate,” the Buddha Old Ancestor said, his voice like a divine chant.

Dharma?! Lin Feng was shocked in his heart.

He didn’t want to cultivate the Dharma and always chanting “Amitabha”!

“What are you waiting for? This is your opportunity!”

Old Man Tianji urged, “Your Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique eradicates the Seven emotions and Six desires, and the Way of the Saber follows the Heartless Blade! This complements the Dharma perfectly!”

“But…”

Lin Feng was conflicted.

He didn’t want to eradicate his Seven emotions and Six desires and fully follow the Heartless Way of the Saber.

Although Xiao Hongyi and the other madmen had indeed tortured him severely and made him naturally fearful of beautiful women, he could still find a partner of slightly plain appearance!

The Dharma, when it comes down to it, isn’t it just like being a eunuch?

This was absolutely contrary to his life goals!

“How can you be so foolish!” Old Man Tianji was furious.

“If you don’t fully comprehend the Dharma, how can you use it to remove the toxins? Do you really want to die? Besides, hasn’t Jiang Chen also cultivated the Dharma without any change?!”

“That makes sense!” Lin Feng suddenly realized.

To make significant achievements in the Dharma, one indeed needs great enlightenment. But temporarily using the Dharma to remove toxins wouldn’t have much impact.

What he didn’t know was the reason Jiang Chen was not affected by the Dharma was because he hadn’t received an infusion of the Dharma. He had learned the Buddhist Sect’s secret texts with a single touch.

Old Man Tianji knew that the Dharma would have a certain impact on Lin Feng, but he deliberately didn’t mention it.

The reason was simple. Lin Feng was really losing face as a Son of Destiny, and if this continued, he would eventually be abandoned by fate.

Rather than becoming someone else’s stepping stone later, it was better to let Lin Feng use the Dharma to advance on the path of eradicating the Seven emotions and Six desires.

This was also for Lin Feng’s own good.

After thinking he had “made sense,” Lin Feng quickly closed his eyes and began to sit cross-legged and regulate his breath.



His consciousness sank into the Buddha light, and the sound of Buddha chants echoed in his ears.

This chanting resonated with his Seven Purifications Annihilation Technique, and the next moment, his cultivation technique operated on its own, with the Buddha light intensifying.

In the midst of this, Lin Feng fell into a profound and mysterious state.

He felt himself bathed in Buddha light, surrounded by Buddhas gathering, their chants murmuring.

The scriptures say: “All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows.”

The Buddha said: “All phenomena are devoid and false.”

The Buddhas said: “Go with the flow, be at ease with circumstances. Evil arises from the mind. Sins are created by oneself. Only by not being angry or mad, not being insane or crazy, can the past be like smoke, achieving a liberated karma.”

The sound of Buddha lingered in his ears, and Lin Feng suddenly felt enlightened!

Old Man Tianji often said that beautiful women are skeletons, and stunning beauties would eventually turn to white bones.

Old Man Tianji also said that Seven emotions and Six desires are shackles for cultivators, and only by breaking these shackles can one ascend beyond the heavens.

The former Lin Feng scoffed at these words.

In his view, the so-called great freedom and cutting off the Seven emotions and Six desires were nonsense.

Isn’t cultivation all about satisfying one’s own “desires”?

But at this moment, he understood.

Compared to the “desire” to become stronger, other primal desires only hinder his path to enlightenment!

If he wasn’t obsessed with women, he wouldn’t have been tortured by Jiang Lianyue, Qingning, and Xiao Hongyi.

If he had been more low-key and hidden in the Lower Domain at the first sign of danger, he wouldn’t have joined the mad Jiuyan Sect and been beaten by Jiang Chen over and over again!

All of this, when it comes down to it, is karma!

Karma arises from the heart, and only by breaking karma and eliminating miasma can one be reborn through Nirvana!

“Boom!!”

Just as this thought settled, the main bell of the Buddha Temple rang loudly, its sound echoing through the heaven and earth.

The sound waves of the bell gathered above Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s cultivation technique operated at an unprecedented speed, and combined with the infusion of the Dharma, a tricolor Buddha light formed above his head!

“Is this… enlightenment?!”

Seeing this, the Buddha Old Ancestor was shocked!

He only thought that he and Lin Feng were fated, but he didn’t expect Lin Feng to be fated with the Dharma.

In the hundred years since the Buddha Temple was established, no one had ever been able to invoke tricolor Buddha light upon first entering the path.

Because tricolor Buddha light could be called a high monk, deeply versed in the Dharma.

This had nothing to do with talent, it was about fate! Buddhist fate!

“Is this the Son of Destiny?” the Buddha Old Ancestor wondered in his heart.

At this moment, he felt a desire to nurture talent and wanted to take Lin Feng into the Buddhist Sect.

Although the “Son of Destiny” required sufficient sect fortune to bear, the Buddha Old Ancestor believed this was not a problem.

The reason was simple. The Son of Destiny is a double-edged sword.

As long as the Buddha Temple can withstand the fortune, the Buddha Temple can also soar to heaven!

The Jiuyan Sect feared the Son of Destiny because the lifespan of the Jiuyan Old Ancestor was running out, but the Buddha Temple was different.

The Buddha Old Ancestor was confident that he could withstand the backlash of fortune from Lin Feng the Son of Destiny!

And now, what the Buddha Temple needed was an opportunity. An opportunity to surpass the Jiuyan Sect and compete for the sole spot in the Upper Domain!

Without a doubt, Lin Feng was definitely the opportunity.

Although there were some risks, it was worth the gamble.

The more the Buddha Old Ancestor thought about it, the more excited he became, but soon, his eyes dimmed again.

The idea was good but not realistic.

Setting aside whether the Jiuyan Sect would be willing to give up this Son of Destiny, he could also see that although Lin Feng had entered the path of Buddhism, he was unwilling to follow it.



After all, a melon forced off its vine is not sweet.

‘But, it quenches thirst…’ the Buddha Old Ancestor murmured to himself again.
