C710 Merit Avoidance

"Abbot, do you mean... that senior was reincarnated into the Ten Rings after the disintegration of the Heavenly Devil? This... "2

The elders were all moved. Buddhism did indeed have the saying of reincarnating and recultivating, but this kind of profound meaning was not something that an ordinary person could grasp, unless it was a top mighty figure!

Golden Bamboo Temple was merely a second-rate sect now. As it seldom participated in the competition for fame and fortune in the outside world, it caused its reputation to remain low. Could it be that there was such a glorious past?

If this was the truth, then it would be awkward. Just now, a few elders wanted to use the Rites Sect to persuade Shi Jie to give up on cultivating this' devil technique '. But in terms of seniority, Shi Jie might be able to suppress him for a thousand years. What right did they have to point fingers at him?

They did not dare to speak any more nonsense. They focused on meditating on the spot and guarding him. Perhaps after Ten Rings finished his seclusion, the truth about his identity would be revealed.

The Buddha statue in the sky above Golden Bamboo Temple was maintained for six hours. Under the enhancement of the power of faith, shi Jie stepped into a completely new realm, as if a huge door had been opened. Familiar and unfamiliar memories surged into his mind...

When he opened his eyes once again, he silently retracted his Buddha body. His eyes were clear but contained an ancient feeling. The past had passed with the wind. Now, his Dharma name, Ten Rings, was a small monk from Golden Bamboo Temple.

"Amitabha!"

"Congratulations, Senior, for entering the Deification Stage once again. Senior, you have come into being after the tribulation. It is the great fortune of the human race. Buddha Sect will live forever."

The abbot stood up at this moment and walked in front of Shi Jie. He greeted Shi Jie as a disciple, stunning all the elders.

"Wait... the abbot said that Shi Jie has reached the Soul Formation Stage? Doesn't a Soul Formation Stage cultivator need to cross the Deification Tribulation?"

"According to the legends, there is an eminent monk of Buddha Sect who has reincarnated with great merit. He doesn't need to suffer the pain of the Thunder Tribulation anymore. If Ten Rings really breaks through, a Deification Stage expert can be considered to be standing at the peak of this era."

"Everyone, should we go up and greet him together? Forgive this poor monk for his low realm, but I really can't see the true realm of the Ten Rings. Why is the abbot so sure that the Ten Rings has already become a god?"

...

Seeing how the abbot was so respectful to Ten Rings, the Elders could not sit down any longer. They stood up one after another and put their palms together. However, they could not change the way they thought for a long time. It was too difficult to make them bow to a small monk as a disciple.

"Abbot, Elders, there's no need to be overly courteous."

"The reason why Ten Rings is able to achieve what they have today is all because of your cultivation. My Martial Uncle personally went to Kunlun to fight for the opportunity. In the end, he died there. My life belongs to Golden Bamboo Temple."

After Shi Jie stopped cultivating, he looked like he was floating with immortal Qi. Finally, he didn't have that demonic feeling anymore. Although the memories of his previous life had affected him, however, he was a person with great perseverance. This bit of influence was not enough to shake his Buddhist heart. He still treated the seniors who had helped him with great respect.

In his previous life, he was an eminent monk who never came out of the world. His lifelong belief was to catch up with the footsteps of the seniors in the Buddhist path. However, no matter how hard he tried, his cultivation was stuck at the same realm for ten years without any progress.

One day, he made a bold decision. He wanted to enter Sainthood through virtue. Forming an immortal body, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once said that hell would never become Buddha if it was not empty. Thus, he used himself as a cage to suppress the devils of the world. His cultivation advanced at a tremendous pace, and he really broke through to the Great Sage realm!

He had traveled through the heavens to subdue demons and devils, and the golden light of virtue had spread for a hundred miles. He had become a divine monk of the present world. If it wasn't for that calamity that had occurred, he might have been praised and worshipped by others until now.

One day, there would be a problem with his self-created cultivation technique. This cultivation technique cultivated the body of a great devil. He walked the path of Buddhist austerities. Once one's state of mind was unable to keep up, it was very likely that they would completely degenerate into a demon. He would become the dark hand that would bring disaster to the Mortal Realm.

When the problem occurred, he had been in seclusion for three years. Finally, he thought of a way to complete his cultivation technique. However, he missed the opportunity. At the last moment, he used the Heavenly Devil Disintegration Art to reincarnate and restart his cultivation. Stepping into the cycle of reincarnation, he hoped that one day, he would be able to awaken his Genuine Spirit.

His cultivation base in his previous life was merely at the late Great Saint realm, and he had used the relatively ordinary Great Art of Heavenly Demon Disintegration. Logically speaking, the possibility of the Genuine Spirit awakening in the cycle of reincarnation was very slim. However, in this life, his Martial Uncle was risking his life. He had risked his life to seize the opportunity from Kunlun Mountain.

That piece of blood jade had successfully awakened his Genuine Spirit, and the earth's spirit energy had awakened. Many Deification Rank cultivators had fallen in the Road to Heaven. If he could find a suitable paradise... It wouldn't be difficult for him to advance to the Great Saint realm in the future.

"Amitabha! Since Senior has gained a great enlightenment, we will still call you Ten Rings. I wonder if Senior can give Golden Bamboo Temple a clear path so that we can protect ourselves during the great calamity."

The abbot of Golden Bamboo Temple had a very humble attitude, because he had found out the origin of Ten Rings. The other party was the reincarnation of a great Buddhist expert, so he definitely had the ability to bring Golden Bamboo Temple to unprecedented glory. Therefore, he was happy to abdicate. As long as Shi Jie spoke, he would immediately hand over the position of abbot.
