Chapter 814: Chapter 833: 3 Questions

“What a Master Puti, no wonder I can’t match such Divine Skills, it seems I have underestimated you.” Ye Xuan surveyed the eight directions of Heaven and Earth, his mouth issuing a rumbling sound, yet no one responded to him.

Unknowingly, Ye Xuan had fallen into the mysterious Great Technique of Master Puti and only after an hour did he discern its mysteries, prompting Ye Xuan to grow cautious.

“All laws are void, return to the truth!”

Rumble!

Thunderclouds surged, and with his hand, Ye Xuan summoned a Great Technique from the Undying Immortal Scripture, pressing forward with a booming force.

Crack!

A sound like jade shattering echoed as the void before Ye Xuan cracked like a mirror. With a resounding boom, this piece of Heaven and Earth suddenly changed, becoming distinct from before.

An ancient, weathered stone tablet stood alongside a white jade palace door, the stone tablet aged and worn with the imprints of time, and above it inscribed the words: Three Star Cave!

By dispelling falsehood, Ye Xuan stood before the Three Star Cave, squinting slightly at the white palace door, motionless and speechless, as if awaiting something.

“Immortal, please return, the master does not wish to see you.”

The white jade palace door gradually opened, and a Daoist child walked out, first bowing in Taoist salute to Ye Xuan before speaking softly.

“Patriarch Bodhi, unnoticed by the Three Realms, unaffected by tribulations, persisting with the world, a humble monk visits today hoping for Master Puti’s audience.” Ye Xuan clasped his hands, softly uttering a Buddhist phrase.

“You do not truly believe in Buddhism. Even clad in monk robes, you cannot change your nature. You should return to where you came from, as the disputes of the Three Realms concern me not, nor do I wish to be involved.”

A voice, old and wise, echoed from within the Three Star Cave, clearly belonging to Master Puti, issuing a command for Ye Xuan to leave.

“Do you know who I am?”

Ye Xuan’s face showed slight surprise, confident in his shapeshifting, which should have hidden his true identity. Yet upon hearing Master Puti’s words, it seemed the other knew he was not of the Buddhist Sect.

“I do not know, but though you are shrouded in Buddha Light, seeming gentle and compassionate, the birds of this mountain are all spiritual and upon your entry, they fled the forest. This shows that there is neither Buddha nor compassion in your heart, or else why would these birds fear you?” The calm voice of Master Puti came from within the Three Star Cave.

“So, that is the case!”

Ye Xuan nodded, a self-mocking smile playing on his lips, realizing his overconfidence and the oversight in details that exposed flaws.

“Since you know I am not of the Buddhist Sect, you should also know that I will not leave.” Ye Xuan strolled forward, directly intending to enter the Three Star Cave.

“Bold.”

Seeing Ye Xuan attempting to forcefully enter the Three Star Cave, the Daoist child rebuked, raising his horsetail whisk to strike Ye Xuan, only to be stopped by Master Puti’s voice from within the cave.

“Step aside, let him in.”

“Master, you…?”

The Daoist child’s expression shifted, but he still stepped aside, casting an unfriendly glance at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan ignored the Daoist child, stepping directly into the Three Star Cave, disappearing from the outside world as the white jade palace door slowly closed behind him.

Three Star Cave.

The ancient stone walls carved with flora and fauna, tall cypresses rooted deeply, with rich Spiritual Energy flowing within this space. A mysterious chanting echoed faintly.

Ye Xuan strolled forward until reaching the end of the path, a lotus platform floated in the void, upon which sat an elderly man in white robes, serene and unperturbed.

“Greetings, Master Puti.”

Ye Xuan bowed respectfully, as he sought Master Puti not only for guidance but also due to Master Puti being Sun Wukong’s mentor, deserving adequate respect from any angle.

“Young friend’s Cultivation is profound, standing at the pinnacle of the Three Realms. If not for the Saints, you should be honored above all in this world.”

Master Puti’s gray hair and long, flowing beard swayed gently, his face adorned with a kind smile, softly speaking to Ye Xuan.

Despite Master Puti’s praise, Ye Xuan showed no arrogance, sensing the master’s Cultivation rivaled his own, worthy of caution even if not a Saint.

Ye Xuan trusted his intuition, knowing one who posed a threat was rarely simple, much like the Primordial Spirit, and indeed, Master Puti before him.

“Patriarch Bodhi praises me too highly,” Ye Xuan smiled faintly.

“If I am not mistaken, you are the brother of my apprentice, Wukong?” Master Puti warmly smiled.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was momentarily startled, but soon chuckled, letting the Buddha Light around him gradually dissipate, revealing his true form.

“Master Puti, remarkable skills. I didn’t expect you to see through my true form.” Ye Xuan reverted to his original appearance, bowing to Master Puti.

“Your Divine Skills are impressive, but even I could not discern your true form. However, I am versed in some truths of Heaven and Earth, knowing there are few with your Cultivation in the Three Realms, and your name, Heavenly Emperor Ye, spreads far and wide, who else would visit me here but you?”

Master Puti sighed deeply, regarding Ye Xuan, “I never imagined you would escape the Western Two Saints, truly marking you as a fated individual.”

“I heard from Brother Wukong that you, Master, are learned and wise, possessing not only Great Divine Skills but also immense wisdom. I came to seek guidance on several matters today.” Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, respectfully bowing to Master Puti.

“Please, young friend, speak.”

Master Puti’s brows slightly furrowed, his eyes reflecting hesitation, yet upon seeing Ye Xuan’s earnest demeanor, knew rejection was futile.

“Firstly, who is the Primordial Spirit?”

“Secondly, was the Undying Immortal Scripture created by him?”

“Thirdly, I pursue Proving Dao with Power, having already passed the Heavenly Dao’s First Tribulation, what are the subsequent eight tribulations?”

Ye Xuan spoke openly, voicing his greatest uncertainties, questing for answers he believed only Master Puti could provide, which was the true purpose of his visit.

Silence, extreme silence.

As Ye Xuan posed these questions, Master Puti remained silent for a long period, not answering while Ye Xuan steadfastly watched, trusting an answer would come.
