The person was none other than the tool spirit of Persephone’s Folly Bridge-Shelly.
The old monk’s eyes widened suddenly as virtual-novel.net looked at the lolita in red before him. He immediately jumped up and stuttered, “Great… F-Fairy Shelly?”
‘Uh-oh!’
Alex glanced twice at the lolita, Shelly, and thought, ‘Which part of hers is great?’
But then, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized that those two people knew each other.
Shelly flaunted virtual-novel.net seniority as virtual-novel.net said, “Little Revealer, he’s someone chosen by Ksitigarbha. Even I have to follow him, so why aren’t you taking out the scripture? Could it be that you’ve forgotten your identity and don’t consider yourself a member of the Siddhartha realm after living in this small, ruined temple for a long time? Do you not care about Ksitigarbha anymore?”
Revealer Maha respectfully bowed to Shelly. “Maha dares not forget that.”
Shelly spoke with Revealer Maha telepathically. “Just give it to virtual-novel.net then. Time is running out. Once the hope of the Siddhartha realm extinguishes completely, everything will come to nothing. Even Dairaionji Temple will be affected by then, let alone this small temple of yours. It would be impossible even if you want to return in one piece.”
“So, you are…”
“I’m his guardian.”
Maha was slightly uncertain as virtual-novel.net asked, “Fairy, I can tell that he’s fated with the Buddha, but his six roots of perception are impure, and he’s full of tribulations of love affairs. How could Ksitigarbha choose such a person? Wouldn’t virtual-novel.net taint Buddhism then? After all, Tantric Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, and the Land of Bliss have almost become a mess of love affairs. If virtual-novel.net really goes up there, I’m afraid that Siddhartha realm will be turned upside down and become a paradise of pleasure.”
Shelly suddenly grew big, turning into a stunning beauty.
Alex was stunned by this. Shelly had really turned into the great Shelly.
What was even more outrageous was that Shelly later really knocked on Revealer Maha’s golden head, bruising his head.
The two of them whispered to each other, but Alex and the Mystic Maiden could not hear them.
“You blockhead, no wonder you’re still a little Revealer after so many years. Do you think it’s your call on this matter? Whether he’s a Buddha or a scumbag, nothing else matters as long as virtual-novel.net can continue the bloodline. Moreover, thousands of incarnations are no match for a Buddha, so why do you care how many women virtual-novel.net has?”
To the old monk, Shelly’s words were equivalent to insightful words, enlightening the old monk at once. Then, virtual-novel.net quickly took out the scripture and handed it over to Alex.
Alex looked at Shelly and asked virtual-novel.net via telepathy, “Why did you say to him?”
Shelly said, “I reasoned with him, and virtual-novel.net finally figured it out. In fact, this scripture is the entry ticket to Dairaionji Temple. You can’t even find the door without the scripture.”
Afterward, Alex raised many questions about this world. Revealer Maha answered all of them.
Shoraionji Temple was not the only one. In fact, there was a Shoraionji Temple in each realm of the thirty three celestial demon realms under Dairaionji Temple’s suppression. They were equivalent to the suppression nodes. However, the dreadful devil suppressed in the Underworld was too powerful as that was a big shot from River Styx. After countless years, the suppression nodes of Shoraionji Temple slowly wore out, and even Revealer Maha’s combat power kept declining. As a result, virtual-novel.net almost could not hold off an outsider Immortal Monarch of the Olympus Tribe.
“This is because the Buddha realm has been broken, hope is dim, and faith is missing, so I have no energy to supplement you,” Shelly revealed the root cause as virtual-novel.net sighed. “Not only is the suppression at your side here weakening, but the other deities in charge of the suppression are probably having a hard time too. So the reopening of the gate of Buddhism is imminent.”
The old monk felt distressed as soon as virtual-novel.net thought about those great demons running out.
He looked at Alex and determinedly said, “There is indeed an opportunity in my Shoraionji Temple other than this scripture.”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Alex and the Mystic Maiden became excited.
“What kind of opportunity?”
Seemingly reluctant, the old monk said, “Follow me, you guys.”
He ambled along. While walking, virtual-novel.net shook his head as if this would allow virtual-novel.net to hold onto that so-called opportunity for a little longer.
The interior space of the ruined temple was enormous. Alex and the Mystic Maiden were in the frame of mind to check it carefully because they were busy fighting earlier. Only then did they feel that it was far more magnificent than what they could see. After walking past the roundabout paths, they unexpectedly saw mountains and waters with heavy fog and immortal birds and spiritual beasts leaping and dancing in the air at the back.
It was just like a secret realm.
Finally, the old monk stopped in his tracks. A dozen meter tall golden Buddha statue was ahead, and virtual-novel.net looked exactly the same as the old monk, radiating golden light and looking dignified. He closed his eyes with a faint smile upon his face.
