Chapter 514: Chapter 0516: Coming into the World

Seeing such a bizarre scene, the waiter felt that even speaking became difficult, "Manager, I...I..."

What was this, encountering a ghost? A living person walking back and forth right under one’s nose, yet unnoticed. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like a scene from a ghost movie.

"Young Master Ma..."

The hotel manager wasn’t afraid of ghosts, but he was terrified of the Living King Yama before him.

The Ma Family from Yunxi dominated the region, with truly strong forces under their command. After their forceful entry into Yunshuang, and with the help of a mysterious person, even the government seemed to be on their side, aiding them.

Therefore, the hotel manager would rather his hotel be really haunted than to provoke such a Living King Yama. Haunted, at most, the hotel would close down, but offending Ma Hong, the Living King Yama, that was a matter of life and death.

Ma Hong didn’t pay any attention to the hotel manager and instead turned towards Chu Feng, asking, "Brother Chu, what do you want to do?"

Chu Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Destroy all the recordings. Let’s pretend nothing happened today."

When Ma Hong heard Chu Feng’s words, he nodded and said, "Did you hear my Brother Chu’s words?"

The hotel manager hastily nodded and said, "Yes! Yes! Thank you, Young Master Ma, thank you Young Master Chu. I’ll destroy all the recordings now and ensure everyone keeps their mouths shut about this."

Chu Feng, along with Ma Hong and Fatty Tang, returned to their room. Ma Hong said, "Little brother, who exactly is that monk? He seems to have quite the background?"

Chu Feng shook his head and replied, "I don’t know either. If I did, I wouldn’t be so troubled."

Fatty Tang looked towards Ma Hong and said, "Old Ma, you’re the big fish of Yunshuang. Do you not know where this monk comes from?"

Ma Hong replied, "Buddhism is prevalent here in Yunshuang. How would I know which temple that monk came from?"

Fatty Tang pressed, "Then can’t you go and check?"

Ma Hong, startled by Fatty Tang’s words, shivered and said, "If you want me to live a couple more years, don’t bring this up. Investigating Buddhism in Yunshuang is like asking for a death wish. The status of Buddhist believers here is extremely high, and I don’t want to be pointed at by everyone; a single spit from each could drown me."

Chu Feng didn’t join in the discussion but instead continued pondering how the old monk had managed it. How was it possible for someone to walk back and forth under the eyes of others without being noticed by anyone?

Such skill was not something one could achieve simply through high Cultivation.

"Transcendence!"

These two words popped into Chu Feng’s mind.

True transcendence wasn’t just about becoming a monk. True transcendence was about detaching from the world, as if walking in another world.

Such an idea was mysterious and hard to understand. But real transcendence should be like that of the old monk.

It’s a realm, and such a realm is the optimal state for Cultivation. Chu Feng had seen this in the Cultivation Foundation, where in Cultivation, such a state is known as ’Enlightenment’. Being in such a state continuously would make Cultivation exceedingly effective.

Chu Feng was eager to break through. If he could find a way into this state, it would be a tremendous boon for him. He was now desperate to find the old monk and ask him how to enter the state of ’Enlightenment’.

"Brother Chu, I’ve heard that the high Buddhist monks from Yunshuang have a tradition of searching for Living Buddhas among mortals. Was that old monk here to find a Living Buddha? You aren’t the one he has chosen, are you? He’s not going to make you become a monk, right?" Ma Hong suddenly brought up an idea.

"What did you say?" Chu Feng, lost in thought, hadn’t heard what Ma Hong said.

Ma Hong repeated what he had just said, and after hearing it, Chu Feng too was startled and retorted, "You are the one who should become a monk!"

If he really had to become a monk, Chu Feng would rather not achieve any state of Enlightenment. He had a bevy of beauties waiting for him at home; Chu Feng had no intention of becoming a monk.

A mountain!

A monastery!

A lamp!

A person!

No! To be precise, there were two people.

A monk and another monk.

One elderly, the other even older.

"Did you find it?" the older monk asked.

"I found it!" the elderly monk replied.

"How is it?" the older monk inquired.

"Not clear!" the elderly monk answered.

"Is it helpful?" the older monk asked further.

"Not clear!" the elderly monk responded.

"Alas!" the older monk sighed and said, "Wu Chi, you are too obsessed."

"Master, your disciple cannot help but be obsessed. He carries the aura of Daoism and bears the mark of the Carefree Sect."

"The Carefree Sect?" The older monk’s snow-white eyebrows furrowed.

"The Carefree Sect still has followers left, and such an odd person at that. It seems the Carefree Sect is destined to make a comeback. Since that is the case, you should let it go. I was greedy once and made a mistake. Although I’ve come to realize it in my later years, it was already too late. I have reached the end of this path, and whether you can continue depends on your own fate. Karma is a cycle, and it never fails to serve justice. Back in the day, we also walked the path of the Carefree Sect." The older monk spoke all this in one breath and seemed tired, slowly closing his eyes.

Wu Chi said, "Master, your disciple will carry on. The mistakes you have made, your disciple will bear them for you."

...

The matter of the elderly monk was merely an interlude, as Chu Feng had given up on continuing the search for him, having thought about what it would entail to become a monk.

Early the next morning, Chu Feng and his two companions set out early, heading toward Yunxi.

The Qingming holiday was only three days long and could not be wasted.

After arriving in Yunxi, Chu Feng saw Ma Hong’s and Fatty Tang’s fully armed people and said, "Tell me, you two, are you planning to start a coup or search for a mine vein? This is gearing up for war."

Chu Feng’s comment was not an exaggeration. Twenty people. Each one was equipped with a submachine gun, pistol, military knife, and grenades. This was not an expedition to find a mine; it was outright preparation for combat.

Ma Hong said, "Brother Chu, we are going abroad this time, which is different from being within the country. Moreover, the news about that mine vein has somehow leaked. There are many people eyeing that place. We can’t be too careful."

Chu Feng asked, "With all this gear, how do you plan to get through customs?"

Fatty Tang replied, "Who said we are planning to go through customs, Brother Chu?"

Actually, after Chu Feng had asked, he realized he had posed a rather foolish question. With such equipment, it would have been strange if they could go through customs—they were clearly planning to smuggle themselves across.
