Chapter 252.2
After seeing it for themselves, they were filled with admiration, declaring that this palm technique was not of this world!
Among these powerful beings, there was an Innate expert who was well-traveled and knowledgeable.
After careful observation, he made a comment that shocked the world.
This palm strike was delivered by a senior of the Buddhist Sect! Look, the technique is imbued with compassion and the Buddha-nature of saving all sentient beings. Without a profound understanding of the Dharma, one could not execute such a palm strike!
Now, observe the power of this palm technique. It has far surpassed that of an ordinary Grandmaster, definitely reaching the peak of Grandmaster level! It might even have taken half a step beyond, becoming a Half-Step Great Grandmaster! Or perhaps it has reached the legendary level of Great Grandmaster!!!
Peak of Grandmaster!
Half-Step Great Grandmaster!
The legendary Great Grandmaster!
Everyone was utterly astounded!
Whichever the case, it was far beyond their imagination!
Once this conclusion spread, more people and more forces came to witness the palm strike, drawn by its reputation.
And then they arrived at the same conclusion.
This palm strike must have been executed by a senior of the Buddhist Sect!
The individuals strength was unfathomably great, potentially at the peak of Grandmaster, possibly at the level of Half-Step Great Grandmaster, or they might even be the legendary Great Grandmaster, a supreme figure in the world!
Old-school forces such as the Taoist Sect and the Demon Sect gained further insights by observing the palm strike.
The energy of the palm strike was unfamiliar, not one of the known seniors of the Buddhist Sect.
Thus, the worlds power dynamics began to shift subtly.
You see, in the current world, there are seven transcendent powers: the Buddhist Sect, Taoist Sect, Demon Sect, and four top-tier Empires, each possessing a Great Grandmaster, which is why they can dominate the global power structure.
Throughout history, a delicate balance has always been maintained.
But now, the Buddhist Sect seemed to have an additional figure who might be a Great Grandmaster, which inevitably raises concerns.
The Buddhist Sect, of course, realized this and sent envoys to explain to the various powers.
Amitabha, its purely a misunderstanding! That palm strike was not executed by someone from our Buddhist Sect!
If it wasnt someone from your Buddhist Sect, then who was it? Such profound Buddha-nature and advanced palm technique who else but your Buddhist Sects high monks could execute such a strike?
But on that day, all our Buddhist Sects seniors were in deep meditation and prayer within our temple. They never left!
Dont try to fool people. Whether they left or not is for you to say. Who in the outside world would really know if they leave secretly?
After three days, four days, he was still not worried.
But as five days and six days passed without any news, he began to worry and sent people to investigate.
Yet, after another four days with no news, he finally became anxious.
No matter how much he investigated, he could not find any traces. It was as if the person had vanished from the face of the earth.
This was a cause for great concern; the Great Hong could not be without a Grandmaster!
Since there is no news, continue the search! Report to me as soon as there is even a slight clue! Great Hong Emperor commanded.
Yes, Your Majesty!
The guard hesitated, Your Majesty, I have a bold speculation regarding Grandmaster Dugu!
What speculation? Speak! Great Hong Emperors gaze turned towards him.
Your Majesty, are you aware of the incident at Gusong Mountain?
How could I not be aware of such a major event?
Great Hong Emperor said, There is a huge palm imprint there, twenty zhang deep and three hundred zhang wide, said to be left by a Buddhist Sect senior! Over the past half month, it has attracted many martial artists to observe! But what does this have to do with Senior Dugu?
Your Majesty, there is a significant connection!
The guard glanced at the Emperor and cautiously said, Previously, Grandmaster Dugu received your command to assassinate Great Xias Innates and generals! One of the battlefields was near Gusong Mountain! Senior Dugu might have gone there and encountered the Buddhist Sect elder, leading to a great battle! Its possible that Elder Dugu perished under that palm
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Great Hong Emperor exclaimed with great agitation, Senior Dugu is an invincible Grandmaster, how could he possibly die? You are clearly distorting facts and spouting nonsense! I will have your head if you continue to spread such deceit and disturb my imperial heart!
Yes, yes, yes I spoke nonsense, please forgive me, Your Majesty! The guard knelt down in fear.
Now, get out of my sight! Great Hong Emperor roared.
Yes, Your Majesty! I take my leave! The guard ran off as if his life depended on it.
At that moment, the Great Hong Emperor watched the guards retreating figure and muttered to himself, Senior Dugu, you cannot be dead
