Chapter 527

Many years back, Mute had an unexpected encounter in an ancient tomb, which was once the site of a Buddhist sect, the Invincible Diamond Sect. With his perseverance and determination, the ancient site acknowledged Mute, allowing him to return with the precious treasures of the Invincible Diamond Sect that survived the clan's fall. Thus, Mute was able to set up Apex Temple and revive Buddhism.

The public believed that the Universe Divine Style and the Invincible Diamond Body were the styles that Mute acquired when in reality, he received the complete set of the Diamond Sect's legacy, which most importantly consisted of another Buddhist treasure, the Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita Sutra, also known as the Diamond Sutra.

The Flower Garland Sutra expounded upon the profound nature of Buddha. It was highly revered amongst the general population who believed that understanding the sutra thoroughly would allow them to achieve Buddhahood, and simple recitation would invoke the protection of the Eight Dharmapalas.

On the other hand, the Diamond Sutra considered emptiness as the right path and the source of all phenomena, also known as the origin of everything; the Origin of True Emptiness.

However, Mute was well aware that Diamond Sutra alone was insufficient as the sutra was advocated and promoted according to Buddhism's worldview.

To revive Buddhism successfully, the first step would be to convince today's world that the Diamond Sutra made sense, which was almost impossible on its own. Without solid evidence, everything would only be viewed as empty talk.

However, the Flower Garland Sutra was the missing piece to this puzzle of restoring Buddhism!

This explained why Mute was caught off guard and was so ecstatic at the gift Chui Yim presented.

He looked at Chui Yim with a complicated and hesitant look. At last, he shook his head. “Little Benefactor, this gift is too precious for this monk to accept, but this monk must accept it, as it is extremely significant towards Buddhism.”

“It's extremely important to you monks, but it's just a long, boring sutra to me. So, there's no need to feel too apologetic or thankful and take it as a thank you gift from me for the secret style you gifted me four years ago.”

“No, this gift is way more valuable than the Invincible Diamond Body. It’s worth even more than this monk's life!” Mute shook his head.

Mute flipped his hands, placing his index and middle fingers together to reach for Chui Yim's glabella slowly.

The teen in front of Yuen Yau had thick eyebrows and was similarly bald. He was considered handsome, but he was currently staring at Chui Yim very coldly, a glare that Chui Yim had never seen from any Apex Temple monk.

“Why not just let it go, Senior Brother?” Yuen Yau said with hesitation.

“No,” the teenager said with determination. “You know what the Invincible Diamond Body style is to our sect. It’s as good as a secret style, so how can we let an outsider leave with it as he wishes?”

“But it’s Master’s decision...” Yuen Yau replied softly.

“Hah!” The teen sneered. “Master is lacking in social skills because of the style he cultivates, and nobody else saw the legendary Flower Garland Sutra. Who knows if this man is here to con our master?”

Yuen Yau did not reply, or rather, he did not dare reply.

“Is there a problem here?” Chui Yim looked at the both of them blocking his way so obviously with malicious intent. Since he had just gotten a secret style from the sect, Chui Yim did not want to be mean or barge over with violence like he would normally do.

“I am Yuen Tin, Yuen Yau’s senior brother,” the teen in front of Yuen Yau said coldly, and Chui Yim was shocked to know that Mute had another disciple.

Yuen Tin was not a well-known cultivator, and he was not even on the Blue Skies Rank.

Not because he was incapable, but because he never showed himself to the world. During the inter-school exchange, he was in seclusion and ready to break through, thus it was Yuen Yau who led the institution in his place.

Thus, Yuen Tin remained unknown even after four years. Only the disciples of their institution knew that he was the best of their generation, and to them, he was most likely the next leader of their institution.

Unlike Yuen Yau, Yuen Tin was a glipher, thus Mute coached him the most, and he even broke through to the two-chambered state four years ago!
