Chapter 1844 Belongs To The Silent Lotus World?
What Monk Hushu didn't know was that Lin Mu's rejection was not absolute.
"Though Can I ask you whether the Green Lotus Temple is a power of the Celestial realm?" Lin Mu questioned much to the shock of everyone.
Crown Prince Feng Shun took another look at Lin Mu and so did the Princess.
Daoist Chu was the one to break the silence and openly asked the question that was bugging them.
"Since Daoist Mu Lin knows about the Celestial Realm By any chance do you have links to it as well?" Daoist Chu asked.
"Hmm you can say that." Lin Mu didn't answer them fully.
"How so?" Crown Prince Feng Shun wasn't convinced by just that. 'If he does have links to the Celestial Realm, why would he ask for a pa.s.s to use the Cross World Teleportation array? With a background like that, he should be able to use one with ease.' He wondered.
"My master." Lin Mu only gave them two words.
At first, Lin Mu wondered if he should reveal a bit more. He deliberated between using the Token that the Saintess had given him, but chose not to as they were still in the Rust Sky world, where the Saintess had entered 'illegally'.
That token was the most legitimate way for Lin Mu to show his links to the Celestials, as Xukong couldn't exactly reveal himself. But he reckoned that with what he had shown so far, just a couple words would be enough to not make them doubt him.
"I see" Crown Prince Feng Shun's expression changed to that of a complex one.
"No wonder you knew so much." Crown Princess Shang said showing some astonishment on her face.
~sigh~
Monk Hushu though just let out a sigh.
"If it really is like that, then I suppose my Green Lotus Temple is inadequate for you." Monk Hushu shook his head.
"It's not like that." Lin Mu continued. "I wished to ask if your temple has Celestials too, as it would still be willing to learn there." He revealed.
Monk Hushu's eyes widened and a small smile appeared on his face.
"In fact, I did think about going to a few Buddhist temples. I was informed about a certain Buddhist monastery in the Silent Lotus World far from here. They are supposedly all body cultivators too and I wished to learn a few things there." Lin Mu answered before a thought appeared in his mind. "Also, by any chance are your Green Lotus Temple and the Silent Lotus World related?" he questioned.
"Hahahah!" it was at this time that Monk Hushu laughed. "Related!? The Green Lotus Temple is located in the Silent Lotus world!" he revealed.
"Oh?" Lin Mu hadn't expected that. "Then that monastery with the body cultivation pract.i.tioners is it the same as yours?" he questioned.
"While our temple does have a few body cultivation pract.i.tioner, we do not specialize in it. Additionally our establishment is an entire Temple rather than just a monastery. The one you are talking about, do you know any more details about them? The Silent Lotus world has a handful of Buddhist powers including ours." Monk Hushu questioned.
"I do. They are all body cultivators who have very heavy bodies." Lin Mu answered.
"Hmm" Hearing this Monk Hushu narrowed his brows. "All body cultivation pract.i.tioners of a monastery two powers fit this." He stated.
"What are those?" Lin Mu inquired.
"There is the Black Vajra Monastery and the Great Burden Monastery." Monk Hushu revealed. "Both of them are smaller monasteries and stay secluded for the majority of time. And as far as I recall, they haven't had contact with the rest of the world for at least a thousand years now." He added.
"I see do you know anything about what techniques they practice? Something that might make their bodies heavy?" Lin Mu asked further.
"That I do not know." Monk Hushu shook his head. "Both of them are smaller Buddhist monasteries and are also located in very remote areas of the Silent Lotus world. As such we haven't interacted with them much. At least not in my time at the Green Lotus Temple." He stated.
"I understand. Guess I'll just have to come take a look myself." Lin Mu replied.
"Indeed. And if you do come, I'll be glad to show you around." Monk Hushu offered.
"I'll be grateful for that." Lin Mu smiled, not having expected to find another link for exploring.
"Hey now, don't go hogging Daoist Mu Lin to yourself." Crown Princess Shang teased. "Let us present our offers too."
"Ah yeah," Monk Hushu awkwardly moved aside.
"Now then, since he has invited you we also have an invitation." Crown Princess Shang said looking into Lin Mu's eyes.
"Uh, you want to invite me to join your empires too?" Lin Mu guessed.
"Not exactly." Crown Princess Shang shook her head. "Well if you do want to join us, we'll be more than glad to accommodate you. But I don't think you would need that considering your background."
"Then what do you want to invite me for?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Remember I told you about an exploration opportunity?" Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke this time.
"I do." Lin Mu nodded.
"It is related to that. I was going to decided after you finished the tournament to verify your capabilities, but they are good enough from what I've seen so far." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "As such I would like to invite you on an exploration to a spatial realm."
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes but was intrigued. "Tell me more."
"Ver well." Crown Prince then told Lin Mu about the Spatial Plane and how it belonged to a Celestial once upon a time.
They suspected that it could be an inheritance ground and could very well offer one a lot of fortune. And since it belonged to a celestial, even those from Celestial backgrounds would be tempted for it.
The best part was that this was apparently linked somewhere in the Rust Sky world.
