Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 596

Chapter 596 Buddhism vs Taoism (1)

After Wang Wei returned to his mansion, he immediately heard Ancestor Wucheng's voice.

"So, you must have reasons for taking such a risk?"

"I'm preparing for the future. Without removing these so-called 2 Suns and Seven Moons, I can never reach the top of the cultivation world. And even the ancestors cannot properly revive. So, I will need all the help I can to deal with them."

"*Sigh* Although I know I might not need to remind you, given your personality, I still will. Always be cautious. After you ascend, I and the other will no longer be able to protect you.

"The sect will probably not be able to provide you any help and might even be a hindrance. So, always be slow and steady."

"I will," replied Wang Wei, and Wang Wucheng no longer spoke. The old ancestor felt his young descendant grew too fast, and it was only a matter of time before his old bones became useless.

Although he always knew this was inevitable, recent events indicate this process might be faster than anticipated.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei observed Feng Heng's mansion for a few hours, trying to detect any signs of trouble. Luckily, until Monk Wuzhi showed up, nothing changed.

Monk Wuzhi deactivated his invisible talisman before cupping and bowing his hands: "Benefactor, what do you need from me?"

"Monk, can you tell me exactly Zhang Yucheng's strength? The last time you were vague."

Monk Wuzhi frowned for a moment before answering: "He is only the peak of 7-Leaf. However, he can use a secret technique to generate a mysterious power from his two physiques, boosting his power to 8-Leaf."

"Is that so?" Wang Wei briefly pondered before taking out a booklet and handing it to him. "See if this can help you rise in strength."

Monk Wuzhi took the book labeled [7 Chakras] and scammed through it. And the more he read, the brighter his eyes were.

"This technique is similar to the concept of 5 Inner Wheels. However, it is more detailed, purer, and more powerful."

Monk Wuzhi had access to all the Buddhist Scriptures, so he remembered the school of thought based on the 5 Inner Wheels. Although they were not the most popular or influential in the Buddhist Sect, they were generally decent.

'5 Inner Wheel? I remember Buddhism only had 5 Chakras back on Earth before it was changed, while Hinduism–the creator of this system–had 7 Chakras. I'm guessing this world also discovered some version of Chakra,' though Wang Wei.

"This technique should allow you to reach 8-Leaf, so hurry because I don't think you have much time."

"You make a great point, Benefactor," replied Monk Wuzhi before rushing out. And to Wang Wei's dismay, the monk entered one of the rooms inside his mansion instead of returning home.

Monk Wuzhi took out a formation plate from his space ring, allowing him to lay out a powerful array around the room instantly. Subsequently, he entered the Time Treasure he had to facilitate faster cultivation.

As soon as he entered the treasure, he did not waste time opening his Chakra. Unlike Wang Wei, who had to use the Good Fortune Flame to open the Chakra, Monk Wuzhi used the purest of Buddha Power.

And since the energy he used perfectly matched the concept of Chakra, he benefited even more than Wang Wei did. After a few hundred years inside the time treasure, Monk Wuzhi opened his eyes.

His pupil had entirely turned golden, and he radiated an aura of purity, benevolence, and nobility. His body shone with golden lights for a few minutes before he returned to normal.

"Peak 8-Leaf strength. The increase was even greater than I anticipated," Monk Wuzhi muttered before looking at the artificial sky inside the treasure.

"Zhang Yucheng, you wait for me."

The monk left his treasure before exiting the room and meeting Wang Wei again.

"It seems you succeeded."

"Thank you for everything, benefactor."

"No need. I'm just paying my karma."

"Be that as it may, you have helped me greatly and made a great contribution to Buddhism."
