Chapter 1077: Chapter 377: Great Void Bindi Lotus (Double-Length Chapter)

"The Vast Sea changes into mulberry fields, Creation transforms and migrates, historical tides surge forward, washing away and submerging countless eras and heroes. How could we dare not strive when facing the tides of the era?"

Lin Huan’s face slightly changes: "Shi?"

Ye Moquan calmly responds: "Have you noticed that about the Ming Realm, and the Song Realm, Yujing has also paid attention to it?"

Lin Huan gently nods, her expression returning to calmness, but she remains silent.

Ye Moquan’s voice continues: "The various realms diverged from the Late Han, but the flow of time is different. The Ming Realm has an extra 2,400 years compared to us, while the Song Realm has an extra 1,400 years. Comparing their respective histories, there are many differences, but also some similarities."

For example, neither the Ming Realm nor the Song Realm has the Five Clans and Seven Families anymore.

Those illustrious families and renowned houses that stood firm for thousands of years, weathering countless storms, ultimately all gradually headed towards extinction.

When the history initially diverged in the Late Han, other realms also had the Five Clans and Seven Families.

But over the long passage of time, all of this has become history.

Through past interactions with the Solitary Eagle Khanate and dealings with the Little Ming Court, Ye Moquan and others have gathered some information.

In today’s Ming Realm and Song Realm, the great families still have descendants present.

But they no longer posses the leadership and influence once proudly commanding over others.

"Since there are already many differences, this matter might possibly change," Lin Huan says.

Ye Moquan reiterates the previous suggestion: "Yujing, go and talk with Yingyun."

Lin Huan: "Yes, Shi."

.........

South Sea Shore, Canglang Rock.

Beneath the cliffs, in the deep sea, a massive black lotus appears, currently in a closed posture.

Within the black lotus, as if an independent small world.

At present, some monks in black robes are inside, all belonging to the Great Void Temple.

Among these monks, there are elders from the Upper Three Heavens of the Great Void Temple.

But from the elders down to the disciples, all monks from the Great Void Temple currently inside the black lotus are breathless.

In the empty, dark small world within, bodies lay everywhere, no living person is visible, the scene is eerie and sinister.

Outside the black lotus, on Canglang Rock.

In the distant mountains, two monks also from the Great Void Temple are gazing at the direction of Canglang Rock.

"Master, there has been no movement for so long, indeed something must have happened?" the younger monk asks in a low voice.

The old monk by his side is sternly silent.

They came specifically to seek Abbot Yuanmie and others.

Out of cautious consideration, some people went to the bay below Canglang Rock.

Whereas the master and disciple pair stayed onshore, acting as a perimeter guard and preventing any ambush below Canglang Rock that might cause a complete capture.

But looking at the current situation...

"Could it be that even the abbot..." the young monk shows a shocked expression.

The old monk decides promptly: "Don’t go down, we leave, let’s get out of here first!"

The pair immediately intends to leave the mountain range.

However, as soon as they turn, they find a young monk standing behind them.

The Great Void Temple, as one of the two main antagonist sects in Buddhism, its foremost enemy is the Buddhist Sect.

Thus, even though the young monk before them has not been seen walking in the Mortal World for a long time, the old monk of the Great Void Temple recognizes him as Monk Faqing of Tianlong Temple at first glance.

"Faqing, is it you?!" the old monk takes a deep breath: "The Abbot of our temple, along with several other senior brothers and nephews..."

The monk opposite remains silent, as in the flowing Buddha’s light, a Vajra Banner vaguely forms in his hand.

The monk holds the Vajra Banner in one hand, performing the Earth-Touching Seal with the other.

In legend, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva vowed to save all beings in the cycles of death and rebirth in the six paths, often appearing in the six paths with different names and images known as the Six Ksitigarbhas.

Among them is the Earth-Holding Ksitigarbha, characterized by carrying the Vajra Banner in the left hand and forming the Ruyi Treasure Seal with the right.

The Earth-Holding Ksitigarbha specifically aids one of the six paths of Buddhism, the Asura Path.

The master and disciple from the Great Void Temple have much less skill and strength compared to Monk Faqing.

Upon the appearance of the Earth-Touching Seal, the pair collapses simultaneously.

Then with a shake of the Vajra Banner, under the enveloping Buddha’s light, the two are entirely absorbed into the Vajra Banner by Monk Faqing.

After carefully examining the surroundings and ensuring there are no others, Monk Faqing returns to the large black lotus beneath Canglang Rock.

Looking at the people from the Great Void Temple he dealt with recently, Monk Faqing slightly shakes his head, gathers up the corpses of these people, then presses his palms together and silently recites scriptures.

After reciting scriptures, he begins to walk within the black lotus.

During his movement, a faint golden Buddha’s light fills the small world within the black lotus.

A portion of the Buddha’s light supports the black lotus, while another portion gathers in the center of the black lotus, forming a Precious Vase about sixteen feet tall.

With the appearance of the Precious Vase, Buddha’s light flows continuously.

Yet the golden Buddha light does not directly clash with the black lotus.

On the contrary, both currently step into a temporary balance of mutual restraint.

From outside the black lotus, there are no changes visible.

Lei Jun previously caused the various hostile energies within the black lotus to become subdued.

At this time, Monk Faqing casts spells, creating opposing forces between the lotus outside and the vase inside, stabilizing the whole structure further.

Earlier, it was not easily detectable by the outside world.

Now, if any changes occur within, they will also be confined within the black lotus.

After finishing this aspect of his work, Monk Faqing leaves the black lotus, waits nearby Canglang Rock for a while, and upon seeing no further changes, quietly departs from the area.

He conceals his presence, secretly heading to the Southern Wilderness where the portals to Earth Sea are, silently passing through the Void Gateway, heading to Earth Sea.
