Chapter 380 Returning to Beijing
Although no more information could be obtained from the Medicine Buddha, the information that Lin Fei had already obtained was more than enough for him.
At least he already knew that there must be some connection between Ksitigarbha Buddha and Venerable Ananda that was unknown to outsiders. Moreover, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha was not on their side.
Recalling the furious roar of Lingjipusa after his death at the Lingshan Ruins, Lin Fei guessed that a split had probably occurred within the ancient Buddhist sect. These ancient powerful beings had at least divided into two factions.
Lin Fei had originally planned to start the second instance quest after obtaining the Reincarnation Tablets of the Hell Path and the Hungry Ghost Path. However, it now seems that he cannot enter the second instance so easily.
If there is indeed a connection between Venerable Ananda and Ksitigarbha Buddha, then rashly starting a second instance mission would be tantamount to courting death. At the very least, one must advance to the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm and fully develop one's original primordial spirit and the Six Paths Primordial Spirit before one can barely protect oneself.
The Medicine Master Buddha sat there, waving his hand somewhat helplessly: "Go, benefactor. Now that the hidden plans of those old friends are being revealed one after another, I'm afraid another great calamity is about to arrive. Benefactor, you bear the inheritance of an ancient great power, so you must be more careful in your future actions."
At least for now, it seems that the ancient and powerful Medicine Buddha has no intention of making things difficult for Lin Fei, and his words are quite sincere.
Lin Fei bowed to the Medicine Buddha and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Buddha. I will take my leave now!"
……
Lin Fei walked out of Bodhi Square Inch Temple, and when he looked back, the temple had disappeared from sight.
This Bodhi Square Inch Temple is indeed extremely mysterious, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Even someone with Lin Fei's cultivation level couldn't detect when it appeared or disappeared.
It is precisely because enlightenment is so small that even a short distance feels like an eternity. Even though the Medicine Buddha is currently in a very weak state, his cultivation level is still far beyond what Lin Fei can match.
Before him still rolled the yellow sand into the sky, but this time Lin Fei did not linger in Liusha Town. Instead, he headed back towards the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
This return to the capital was quite different from the last. Last time, Lin Fei had things to do after returning, but this time, things were much easier.
Lin Fei had originally planned to start the second system instance quest after returning to the capital. However, it now seemed that there was a connection between Ksitigarbha Buddha and Venerable Ananda. If he rashly started the second system instance quest to find Venerable Ananda's whereabouts, he might encounter unexpected dangers.
Although the system's instance has now been repaired and can be reopened at any time, Lin Fei, after much deliberation, decided to postpone the second instance. He would wait until he had collected all the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stone Tablets, broken through to the third level of the Dharma Aspect realm, and nurtured his original primordial spirit and the Six Paths Primordial Spirit.
As for the remaining two Six Paths Reincarnation Stone Tablets, it will probably have to wait until the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle go into seclusion for a while and completely take control of their true forms before we can discuss them, so as to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.
So, Lin Fei doesn't have anything urgent to do during this trip back to Beijing, and he plans to rest and recuperate for a while before making any further plans.
Since finding the first Reincarnation Stone Tablet, Lin Fei has been constantly on the move and hasn't had a proper rest. Even with his current cultivation level, he still feels somewhat tired.
However, things didn't go as planned. Lin Fei wanted to take advantage of this time when things were relatively quiet to recuperate for a while, but as soon as he returned to the capital, trouble came knocking on his door again.
……
The first person to approach Lin Fei was Prime Minister Wang You. Lin Fei assumed that something important had happened in the court that required his personal attention during his absence from the capital, so he asked Prime Minister Wang You, "Prime Minister Wang, is there anything important to report?"
Prime Minister Wang You then took out a letter from his sleeve: "During Your Majesty's absence from the capital, nothing major has happened in the court. However, Your Majesty's master, Daoist Yuanyi, has a letter that he would like me to deliver to Your Majesty."
"Oh? It's a letter from Master?" Lin Fei was also a little puzzled. If Master Yuanyi had something to tell him, why didn't he tell him in person, but instead wrote a letter and had Prime Minister Wang You deliver it?
Lin Fei and Yuan Yi are not only master and disciple, but also uncle and nephew. Even if there is something very important, they can tell each other face to face, without having to ask others to relay it.
When Lin Fei took the letter and unfolded it, he understood why his master Yuanyi hadn't told him in person—because at that time, his master Yuanyi was no longer in the capital.
"So Master is about to break through to the Celestial Realm!" Lin Fei couldn't help but sigh after reading the letter. "I hope Master's journey will be smooth sailing!"
The letter told Lin Fei that Yuan Yi's cultivation had reached the bottleneck of the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and now was the time to find a place to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and break through in seclusion.
Lin Fei had been away from the capital for some time, and with the breakthrough imminent, Yuan Yi left the capital on her own and wrote a letter, which she asked Prime Minister Wang You to deliver to Lin Fei.
Breaking through from the Dharma Aspect Realm to the Celestial Realm is arguably the most dangerous hurdle in cultivation. It's worth noting that Lin Fei, who achieved meteoric success, only faced a five-fold tribulation of lightning when breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm. However, breaking through to the Celestial Realm requires facing a full nine-fold tribulation of lightning.
Even someone with such profound cultivation as Yuan Yi could very well perish under the rolling lightning tribulation. Throughout history, the number of those who failed to advance to the Celestial Realm has far exceeded the number of those who succeeded. Among them were many powerful figures with extraordinary abilities and renowned reputations.
For Lin Fei, if Yuan Yi could successfully advance to the Celestial Realm, his side would gain another top-tier Celestial Realm combatant. This would greatly benefit his future plans.
Right now, all Lin Fei could do was silently pray for Yuan Yi, hoping he could successfully break through. After all, no one could help with the Nine Heavenly Tribulations. Lin Fei didn't even know where Yuan Yi was currently in seclusion to break through.
After reading Yuan Yi's letter, Lin Fei chatted with Prime Minister Wang You for a while, praising the hardworking prime minister. After all, he, as a hands-off manager, relied entirely on the court officials, headed by Prime Minister Wang You, to maintain the normal operation of the entire court.
After chatting with Prime Minister Wang You for a while, Lin Fei personally escorted him out of the Imperial Study. Just as he was about to rest for a bit, a noisy commotion broke out outside the Imperial Study.
