Li Xianyu pushed the door open, and Great-Grandma was about to follow, but Jie Se stopped her expressionlessly. “Master did not say that he will see you all.”

Great-Grandma glanced at him and raised her hand. Once again, a brainwashing tune drifted through his mind. His expression changed slightly. With one hand on his head, he quickly retreated.

“Hmph.” Great-Grandma harrumphed and crossed the threshold. Liu Kongchao followed excitedly. He was so agitated that he was shaking with excitement.

Who could have thought that one day, he could meet Buddha Head at such a close proximity. It was Buddha Head. It was not a celebrity or someone, where one could get tickets to attend a concert.

He was the leader of the orthodox ways and the top master of the demon descendant community. He had lived in seclusion for twenty years. An insignificant junior like him would never have seen Buddha Head in his lifetime

Xia Xiaoxue and You Mengyu were forlorn to see Jie Se leave, as they followed, turning back to look with every three steps they took.

Li Xianyu entered the room. The room was spacious with simple furnishings. There was a lattice window in the south direction, a bed in the north, a table in the center, and that was all.

After pushing the door open, facing the east wall, stood a carved dragon painting phoenix wardrobe. It looked like a precious antique.

The skinny old monk meditated on his bed, dressed plainly in a dark green monk robe, rather than the beautiful yellow cassock that Li Xianyu envisioned.

“You are here!” The old monk opened his eyes and had a kind expression.

“I’m here,” Li Xianyu replied and sat down on the futon near the bed.

“It has just been a few months and you have such a level of cultivation. Not bad, not bad.” Buddha Head had just begun to smile but suddenly frowned. “What is that on your left arm?”

“Oh, it’s the Demonic Priest’s overpowered weapon...” Li Xianyu took off his gloves and said, “The Demonic Priest depended on it to become so formidable.”

Everyone in the room knew the secret of his left hand, thus he did not need to hide it. Li Xianyu told Buddha Head what had happened to him.

“So it’s this object. It is immensely evil and ferocious. With it as a companion, I do not know whether it is a blessing or a curse,” Buddha Head stated solemnly.

“You know this object?” Li Xianyu froze.

Slime buzzed and hummed, “So it’s you, young monk... Oh, you’re an old monk now. Wang Chen said that you are very qualified, over time, you would have great achievements. He isn’t wrong.”

They know each other?!

Buddha Head replied honestly, “When the Buddhist and Taoist clans joined forces to kill the Demonic Priest, I was still a rookie Buddhist disciple. With the thought of ‘It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it,’ I participated in that battle.”

“It was the most terrible battle I have ever experienced in my life. The leader of Quanzhen Clan ended up dead, and all the elders in the Taoist clan were severely injured or perished.”

“The Buddhist clans were slightly better, but also suffered heavy losses. More than 3,000 people went but only 800 returned, and their abilities were quite weak.”

“I should have died in the hands of the Demonic Priest, but he said that my Buddha heart is pure and had immense potential. He spared my life and severely injured me.”

“The Demonic Priest’s cultivation extends to the sky and earth, and he is worthy of being known as the strongest in a hundred years.”

Buddha Head saw Great-Grandma purse her lips and commented, “If you step into the Gokudo realm in future, your Great-Grandma is comparable to the Demonic Priest.”

Li Xianyu had long known that Great-Grandma and the Demonic Priest were masters of the same rank. After this was confirmed by Buddha Head, he suddenly thought of one thing.

His birth father was a Half-Step Gokudo Path master then and Great-Grandma was a Gokudo master. If her great-grandson was a Gokudo Path master, Great-Grandma would be the peak of Gokudo.

What if she shattered her spirit bead?

Lightning King had said that the Unparalleled War Spirit who shattered her spirit bead was the true Unparalleled War Spirit.

“Could you remove it for me?” Li Xianyu asked.

“Hehe!” Slime gave a disdainful laugh.

“If the Demonic Priest could not resolve this then, I am unable to do it either.” he said, removing the prayer beads from his wrist and passing it to Li Xianyu. “Wear it. If this monster lashes at you, it can help to suppress it.”

“Master!” Jie Se just entered the room and saw this scene, his expression tense. “You have worn this prayer beads for 60 years, you said you will leave it to me.”

He was the first disciple, and he couldn’t match up to someone who had just appeared?

“Thank you, Grandmaster.” Li Xianyu wore it on his wrist happily. The cream colored prayer beads glowed with a faint Buddhist aura.

Buddha Head had worn the prayer beads for 60 years, it was a priceless treasure. With it, Li Xianyu would not fear all evils and overlook all demons.

Li Xianyu had always had the character of asking for favours when the opportunity presents itself. After chatting for a while, he beckoned to Hua Yang, “Grandmaster, this is Elder Hua Yang. May I ask Grandmaster for a favour?”

Jie Se’s mouth twitched. Grandmaster... This person is too thick-skinned.

Everyone present was not old, and thus had not heard of the name, Hua Yang. However, Buddha Head had, and glanced at Hua Yang in surprise.

He appraised her carefully for a moment, “Strange, you are not the Yin God. Nor are you the Yang God. Hua Yang, how did you end up like this?”

Hua Yang clasped her hands together and bowed seriously. She replied bitterly, “I have travelled the world then, and was harmed by someone...”

She explained what had happened to her in the past.

Everyone’s expressions changed. The master of Liuyun Temple, Elder Hua Yu was gentle and kind. Who could have thought she was such a cruel and heartless woman that she would harm her own sect member?

Slime sneered, “Taoism is not Taoism, Buddhism is not Buddhism. There are evil tricks hidden in the Taoist clan, and a poisonous heart resides in a supposed Buddhist. We are all people who follow their desires, why pretend to be kind? Ridiculous.”

Buddha Head sighed. “I see.”

Hua Yang was an extremely outstanding member in her generation. She was well-known, loved by the elders and respected by her peers.

She was a reputable figure. More than 20 years ago, she suddenly disappeared, and there was no news of her from then on.

Li Xianyu said immediately, “Grandmaster, you have to seek justice for my mom and punish Elder Hua Yu severely.”

If Buddha Head was willing to come forward, the matter was simple. He could punish Elder Hua Yu straight, this was a safe and risk-free plan.

However, Buddha Head shook his head and said, “The matters of the Taoist sects has nothing to do with me.”

“Aren’t you the leader of the orthodox clans? The Taoist and Buddhist clans are on the same side. What you say is justice.” Li Xianyu said hurriedly.

“Master has been living in seclusion for twenty years, and has not been involved in such matters long ago,” Jie Se replied nonchalantly.

He knew that Master had a knot in his heart. His senior, Li Wuxiang, died in the hands of these people who claim to be orthodox men. As the leader of the orthodox path, Buddha Head said, ‘Don’t kill my disciple, don’t kill him.’

However, the result was that almost all the forces that coveted the treasure, threatened Buddha Head, so that he couldn’t step in. As the leader of the orthodox path, he couldn’t possibly crush the Buddhist society and all the major families?

Even a Gokudo master could not compete with the rolling tides of the situation. Over the past 20 years, Buddha Head and the major forces have long lost harmony.

Since he said he would no longer be involved in such matters, he cannot get involved. If he were to break his rules, then he wouldn’t be able to establish his stand. Otherwise this group of guys will come to him every three or five days.

Today, they will come for the Wu family, tomorrow for evil cults, and subsequently, ask him to fight with Baoze.

They might as well use a Gokudo master fighter as much as they can.

If Buddha Head didn’t agree, they would say, “Oh but didn’t you help Hua yang? Why aren’t you helping us, you are the leader of the orthodox path.”

“Stand by and do nothing, like how you didn’t save my dad in the past?” Li Xianyu was disappointed.

The atmosphere in the room turned solemn.

“Life is not compassion, living a hundred years is not compassion either. Wuxiang sought death, that is compassion,” Buddha Head replied.

His death ended a war. Such was compassion.

“Forget it, we don’t have to mention the past.” Li Xianyu took a deep breath. “Disciple came to ask for a favour. Everyone in the demon descendant community sees me as a lamb to be slaughtered and are sharpening their knives.”

“Great-Grandma is on her own and she is exhausted. Taking into account your relationship with my father, please help me.”

Don’t think that there’s peace between all the major forces and him now. That was Great-Grandma’s plans of buying time. Great-Grandma doesn’t know where the Great Deities Palace is and lied to the whole world.

If the Great Deities Palace were to open and she was unable to find the door, those guys will explode in fury.

Although Li Xianyu upgraded fast, his cultivation was still shallow. Great-Grandma asked him to take this chance to beg Buddha Head.

“Life might not be life, death is not really death. All living beings experience love, hatred, sorrow and tribulations but they are all false thoughts. With a foolish thought, wisdom dies, with a wise thought, wisdom is born. Such is destiny,” Buddha Head stated.

Li Xianyu stared at him, stunned. “Master, speak human language.”

Buddha Head said, “I’m not going to save you.”

Li Xianyu was speechless.

Great-Grandma gave him a meaningful glance, and Li Xianyu immediately got it. His eyes turned red and he burst into tears.

“Grandmaster, you cannot leave me in the lurch and watch me die. I’m my dad’s only son, if something happens to me, the Li family’s bloodline will end. He won’t rest in peace in the afterlife. He would be so mad that he will jump out of the coffin. Do you have the heart to see this happen?”

He cried louder and was inconsolable, tears streaming down. “Once a teacher,always a father, you are his father, so you are my grandfather.”

Li Xianyu landed beside the bed and cradled Buddha Head’s leg, “Grandpa, Grandpa... Baby’s heart is sorrowful...”

It was a very awkward scene.

“Oh god, that’s cheap.”

“How shameless, what a bootlicker.”

“He called him Grandpa just like that. Will his Grandpa be so angry that he will jump out of the coffin?”

All sorts of insults floated through the hearts of the people present.

Jie Se was speechless. He could not bear to watch and left silently.
