Chapter 177: Bodhi Buddhist Scripture
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sonic Thunder’s Buddhist Lord looked at Shen Tian, and then at Bodhisattva Kuduo. He became even more envious the more he compared them. The more he thought about it, the greener his complexion turned.
To think that such a handsome youngster is not a monk!
Frankly speaking, if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was not one of the 12 sacred grounds, he would have already forced Shen Tian to join his sect.
Of course, although the Buddhist Lord was very envious, he maintained his majestic and dignified image as if he was a true Buddha!
He calmly looked at Bodhisattva Kuduo. "Kuduo, since Martial Nephew Fang Chang has already recovered, come back!"
Bodhisattva Kuduo pulled a long face. "Master, I have not seen Fang Chang in a long time. Can we stay in Divine Firmament for a few days and return later?"
The Buddhist Lord gave a knowing, compassionate smile. "You still have Buddhist sutras that you have yet to finish copying.
"Kuduo, you need to know:
‘One’s body is like a Bodhi tree; one’s heart seems a mirror to be.
Always keep them fit and clean, not to let dust onto them creep.’
"You are the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s Bodhisattva. You have the responsibility of promoting Buddhism, and all the more, train oneself. You cannot slack off!
"As for reminiscing, you have ample time ahead. No need to hurry."
Kuduo’s expression turned even gloomier upon listening to the Buddhist Lord’s nagging lecture.
"Yes, I understand!"
He turned and looked at Fang Chang with great reluctance. "Fang Chang, see you next time then."
The Buddhist light covering the Buddhist Lord’s body fluctuated slightly. He could not stand seeing this charade, and his figure gradually disappeared. He did not want to continue looking at them.
All good disciples belong to others... What a terrible feeling.
The rosary beads’ light gradually dispersed, and the Buddhist Lord’s figure and avatar slowly disappeared.
Only the Buddhist Lord’s voice could be vaguely heard.
"Dao Brother Longyuan, I see that your Saint’s root of wisdom is quite deep. If he’s interested, he can come to the Bodhi tree of our sect for enlightenment. He might have some gains."
The moment the Buddhist Lord finished his sentence, everyone took in a sharp breath. That’s because the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s Bodhi tree was extraordinary.
It was a supreme tree that had been transplanted from the depths of the West Desert Buddhism Sect. It was said that the Bodhi tree had supernatural powers and was among the Spiritual Wood List’s top 10.
If one sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, then they would receive enlightenment at a much faster rate. It could also enhance one’s speed of cultivating any cultivation technique.
According to legends, a Buddhist Lord of the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground had stayed underneath the tree for seven days and nights, trying to attain an epiphany. In the end, he completely understood the Great Sonic Thunder Sutra and became a Buddha!
That was the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s most glorious period!
From then on, the Bodhi tree became the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s supreme treasure, and it was extremely respected.
Normally, only the Buddhist Lord and Bodhisattva would have the qualifications to try attaining enlightenment.
