Chapter 241: Chapter 179: Reorganizing the Entire Temple

Lin Xing felt as if he could see scenes from his childhood in the images—every day fetching water, hunting, chopping wood.

He felt a strong sense of déjà vu from these scenes.

At the same time, the images continued to change, showing him as a child in a village, waking at sunrise and resting at sunset.

The growing sense of déjà vu compelled Lin Xing to desperately recall where he had seen such similar scenes before.

Finally, Lin Xing remembered.

To him, it was something from a very, very long time ago.

The Lin Xing of the past had sought out a sage with Jing Shiyu to solve the problems with his memory.

Because those memories were too ancient for Lin Xing, he had even forgotten the sage’s name.

Yet Lin Xing still remembered how a part of his memories had been awakened with the sage’s help, despite always believing that the person in those memories was not truly him.

"Are these scenes the same as those memories that I awakened?"

Watching the scenes that felt overwhelmingly familiar, Lin Xing’s heart stirred with ripples.

Then, the images before his eyes continued to change, showing assassins and endless life and death battles in which he kept cutting down anyone who tried to lay hands on him.

The last time, his recovery of memories had ended there.

But this time, the light and shadows in front of him continued to evolve, and he saw himself growing stronger through the serial killings, beginning to protect the weak, experiencing distress from the constant battles...

These scenes felt like something he had lived through, bringing Lin Xing an intense sense of déjà vu and familiarity, making him wonder in his heart, "Could this really be what I have experienced?"

In the following scenes, Lin Xing saw himself establishing a village at the foot of Bright Mountain, guiding the people to be united, virtuous, and to resist assassins, bandits, and all who sought to attack them.

Yet in these various battles and developments, the outcome always seemed to end in chaos and destruction.

No matter how he led or fought, it seemed impossible to create an idyllic land free from slaughter and strife.

Lin Xing watched his on-screen self struggling immensely; it seemed as if that persona had realized something.

After deliberating for nine days and nights, the figure on the screen had lost all his hair.

Then, Lin Xing saw himself beginning to establish temples, crafting Buddha statues, recruiting followers...

Feeling the sense of déjà vu from the images, Lin Xing couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief, "Could it really be me who established Da Guangming Temple? Am I really the Great Bright Buddha?"

He felt as if he had truly lived through everything in the scenes, experiencing a strong sense of empathy.

"That’s right," came a voice from the Buddha light that sounded identical to Lin Xing’s, "I am you, you are me, we are both missing a part of ourselves."

"Now is the time for us to merge back into one..."

Lin Xing responded coldly, "Are you the one now controlling Da Guangming Temple, the Great Bright Buddha?"

The voice in the Buddha light replied indifferently, "That’s right, I..."

Lin Xing said, "Wait for me, I’ll be there shortly to deal with you."

The Great Bright Buddha fell silent for a moment before speaking, "I don’t quite understand what you mean."

Lin Xing stated, "Turning my Bright Mountain into this, you have already failed."

Saying this, a trace of deep regret appeared on Lin Xing’s face, "I can’t believe the me of the past could have made such a grave mistake, not only indulging in feudal superstition but also oppressing the people so severely."

"Next, I’ll liberate all followers of Da Guangming Temple and try my best to kill you."

"If you still have any conscience as the former me, then just accept your death obediently."

As he spoke, Lin Xing felt a thunderous boom in his chest, the last obstacle in his breathing technique was completely shattered. A torrent of spiritual energy gushed from the Tan Zhong point in his chest, swiftly moving up through his throat, mouth, nose, third eye, and directly rushing to the Baihui point on top of his head.

Boom!

With the thorough connection of the meridians, the roaring sound continued incessantly, and the torrential spiritual energy circulated back and forth within Lin Xing’s body like the Yangtze River.

Lin Xing’s spiritual awareness also received a substantial boost in this gushing tide.

Breathing Technique (Level 5, 99%) → Breathing Technique (Level 6, 0%)

Spiritual Awareness: 7.0 → 9.0 Elder

Feeling the surging spiritual awareness in his sea of consciousness, a slow smile spread across Lin Xing’s lips, "Next, it’s time for the sublimation of the breathing technique."

As Lin Xing ceased his breathing exercises, the phenomena around him quickly began to subside, and the gathered spiritual energy gradually dissipated.

As the concentration of spiritual qi continued to decrease, the expanding Buddha Light also gradually shrank.

The voice of the Great Bright Buddha came from within the Buddha Light again, but it had grown much fainter, "It seems you have not yet truly awakened to your memories, understood your identity..."

"I will wait for you at the head temple."

"Only when you understand what you really are can you truly become me..."

As the Buddha Light quickly shrank, the voice of the Great Bright Buddha also gradually faded away in Lin Xing’s ears.

Lin Xing raised his head to look at the Buddha Light Elder and Bai Yiyi, realizing that they seemed to have not heard his exchange with the Great Bright Buddha just now.

It appeared the conversation he’d had with the Great Bright Buddha was all within the mind, without any real sound being made.

Bai Yiyi stood outside the hall, looking at her phone that had run out of battery and sighed softly, "How much longer for Lin Xing? The power bank I brought is also out of charge; if we go on like this, I’ll be waiting foolishly."

Suddenly, feeling the concentration of spiritual qi begin to plummet rapidly, Bai Yiyi abruptly looked up in the direction of Lin Xing.

She said joyfully, "Lin Xing, are you finished?"

Beside her, the Buddha Light Elder who had been kneeling on the ground, praying devoutly, also raised his head and said to Lin Xing, "My Buddha, what do you plan to do next?"

Lin Xing stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "The time is about right; Zhao Wanxi should have already transmitted the intelligence to the mortal world. I should first understand the intelligence, then cultivate and sublime again."

He looked again at the Buddha Light Elder on the ground and asked, "What is your name?"

The Buddha Light Elder replied, "My Buddha once bestowed upon me the Dharma name, Wuhui."

Lin Xing said, "Wuhui, you are right, I am indeed the Great Bright Buddha, and the entire Da Guangming Temple should be considered my foundation."

Wuhui was momentarily stunned and then his face lit up with joy, "My Buddha, you have finally enlightened!"

Lin Xing went on, "In these years of my absence, Da Guangming Temple has also become sullied. Now that I have returned, I must reorganize the whole temple, sweeping away the accumulated malpractices. Are you willing to assist me?"

Meanwhile, Lin Xing, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly levitated, floating slowly to the doorway of the great hall.

Following this, a Sword Intent rose from his fingertips, slicing open his skin and drawing a bloody sword that ascended.

Lin Xing thought to himself, "According to the time we agreed upon with Zhao Wanxi, the mortal world should have also organized the intelligence by now."

Lin Xing began to perform the Immortal Secret Technique, preparing to open the gateway to the mortal world.

Listening to Lin Xing’s words, Wuhui was stunned again, "Reorganize the whole temple?"

...

Not long before.

Inside the head temple.

The Evil-cutting Sect Master stood on an overhang, letting his Evil Suppressing Magic Eye sweep over the entire Da Guangming Temple, his heart stirring like a turbulent wave.

Although to his naked eye, the head temple of Da Guangming Temple was enshrouded in Buddha Light everywhere, surrounded by the Buddhist chants of Zen, with Arhats and Bodhisattvas shrouded in Buddha Light as far as the eye could see.

But when he activated his Evil Suppressing Magic Eye, the interior and exterior of the temple were truly overwhelmed with evil qi, billowing black smoke continuously rising from various Buddha statues, walls, vegetation, beams, and even from the bodies of the monks, ascending from every corner of the temple straight into the sky.

In his Evil Suppressing Magic Eye, the entire Da Guangming Temple seemed to be burning in dark flames, billowing black smoke covering the sky, even the Buddha Light that pierced heaven and earth was mostly obscured, only a faint glimmer leaking out.

"How sinister is Da Guangming Temple inside, how many years of evil qi has been accumulated? How can people still live here?"

At the same time, as his Evil Suppressing Magic Eye swept back and forth, he could clearly sense the many temporary believers who had entered the temple with him.

Looking at those original martial artists from the pugilistic world, now obediently worshiping Buddha, reading scriptures, and being ordained as monks, the Evil-cutting Sect Master shuddered inwardly.

"Did they not notice the unusualness of the entire temple?"

"Buddha Light obscured by dust, demons creating chaos, Da Guangming Temple does not know what evil spirit has taken hold. How can the disciples inside and outside the temple be completely unaware?"

Watching the Buddha Light gradually obscured by the billowing black smoke, the Evil-cutting Sect Master’s heart surged with a resolution, "This temple’s evil spirit must be eliminated, to return Da Guangming Temple a clear sky and let the Buddha Light shine here once again..."

But the evil qi inside the temple was indeed far too shocking; the Evil-cutting Sect Master could not decide where to begin amidst the thousand threads of urgency.

Just then, he sensed the arrival of Zhao Wanxi and Dong’er.

"Is it that old monster?"

The Evil-cutting Sect Master thought, "With that old monster’s strength, if he could lend me a hand, we would surely be able to eradicate the evil spirit."

With that thought, he followed them.

And when he saw Zhao Wanxi using the Immortal Secret Technique, about to open the pathway to the mortal world, Fairy Yunxiao emerged from nowhere, looking at Zhao Wanxi and asked, "The two of you, are you opening the Immortal Gate?"

Fairy Yunxiao wondered, "Senior, are you planning to leave Da Guangming Temple?"
