Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

The Golden Wheel Monk and his entourage walked very quickly.

Carrying a group of their own corpses, they were not exactly scrambling and stumbling, but they were in a hurry, unlike their previous effortless arrival.

On the road.

Only after Yue Que and Xiaolongnu's figures completely disappeared at the end of the road did Huo Du, who was supporting his senior brother Darba, finally ask the question that had been bothering him: "Master, what were you doing just now...?"

To be honest, Huo didn't quite understand.

Unlike his second senior brother Darba, who was simple-minded and foolish, Huodu, as a Mongolian prince, had his own thoughts and ideas.

They didn't exactly suffer a humiliating defeat this time, but they didn't win as well either.

Continuing on to the Heroes' Gathering at Dasheng Pass would be a losing proposition; retreating for now is the best course of action.

The only thing I don't understand is what Master did to that boy just now. He not only said that the boy had a connection with Buddhism, but also took out the corresponding secret manual.

Huo Du had no idea that the secret manual given to him by his master, the Golden Wheel Monk, was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. He only thought it was a decent manual, and he never expected that his master would use one of his most treasured skills.

He merely asked a question, yet his tone remained respectful, not only because the Golden Wheel Monk was Huo Du's master, but also because of the other party's status as the Imperial Preceptor.

The identity of a Mongolian prince was important to Khodu, but not so much to the Golden Wheel Monk.

"It is because I have an affinity with Buddha."

"That young man possesses the strength of a dragon and an elephant; he must be the supreme protector of our Buddhist sect."

Seeing that his youngest disciple, Huo Du, was puzzled, and his second disciple, Darba, was also confused, the Golden Wheel Monk revealed his discovery: "Moreover, there is the aura of our Buddhist sect in that young man's internal energy."

Darba was simply defeated by Dali, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

Therefore, when his master, the Golden Wheel Monk, said those words, Darba simply nodded in sudden understanding, while Huodu was even more puzzled.

Buddhist internal energy?

"That handsome young man just now used the Golden Goose Skill of the Quanzhen Sect, so he must be a member of the Quanzhen Sect."

"Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School, was a practitioner of the three religions, so it's not surprising that he had this aura."

Huo Du witnessed the battle between Xiaolongnü and Jinlun Fawang while Xiaolongnü was distracted by the fight. He wasn't familiar with other martial arts, but he knew the Quanzhen Sect's Golden Goose Skill very well.

"No!"

However, the Golden Wheel Monk shook his head and denied it. As the national teacher of Mongolia, how could he not investigate the forces blocking Mongolia's path? The Quanzhen Sect, bearing the title of the number one sect in the world, was the first to be targeted.

Furthermore, the fact that Qiu Chuji, the former leader of the Quanzhen School, had once traveled to the desert to meet Genghis Khan made the current National Preceptor, Jinlun Fawang, even more concerned.

"The Quanzhen School now presents itself to the outside world as a Taoist sect."

"What is presented to the outside world is also Taoist martial arts."

Therefore, under these circumstances, the boy might not even know that he was special.

"If nothing unexpected happens... he must be the Taoist Golden Boy that the Quanzhen Sect prepared long ago!"

The Golden Wheel Monk used his extraordinary wisdom to begin his analysis, even pointing out the identity of Little Dragon Girl: "And that woman should be a Taoist Jade Maiden."

The primary condition for being considered a golden couple is that the individuals involved must be attractive enough.

More importantly, during the Five Wheels Great Rotation, the Golden Wheel Monk discovered that the opponent's martial arts seemed to have a great restraint on him, which made the Golden Wheel Monk feel some fear and anger deep in his heart.

The Quanzhen Sect is truly wicked.

This golden boy and jade girl were prepared specifically for the esoteric Buddhist sect represented by the Golden Wheel Dharma King; they were his trump card.

This already involves the identity of the Imperial Advisor.

If he hadn't come to participate in the Heroes' Gathering at Dasheng Pass, he probably wouldn't have met the Taoist Golden Boy and Jade Girl. Just thinking about encountering them unprepared in a future battle, he feared he would be in grave danger.

Immediately after their exchange, the Golden Wheel Monk realized that something was amiss.

Those Taoist priests are all wicked.

Upon discovering this, the Golden Wheel Dharma King realized that this was not merely a matter between the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty, but rather a matter between the Esoteric School of Buddhism and the Quanzhen School of Taoism.

This is a conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

Currently, within Mongolia, Shaolin Temple, one of the Buddhist sects, is lying dormant, while the Golden Wheel Dharma King, who became the national preceptor as a member of the Tantric sect, is in fact holding the reins of Buddhism.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Quanzhen School, representing Taoism, was the leading sect.

The clash between the two sides was not simply a matter between the Mongols and the Song Dynasty.

Because Guo Jing was also a candidate chosen by the Taoist sect.

Coupled with his own appreciation for Yue Que, after a battle, the Golden Wheel Monk used his extraordinary wisdom to decide to lure the young man into Buddhism.

Therefore, the Golden Wheel Dharma King directly used the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, a secret technique of the Tantric Dharma Protectors.

"Taoist maiden..."

Huo Du's expression was very strange. With his rich experience as a Mongolian prince, he could naturally see something. He said meaningfully, "Your disciple should know that woman, but it seems she is no longer a virgin."

"Isn't the Quanzhen School a Taoist sect that emphasizes asceticism?"

"Moreover, that woman is from the Ancient Tomb Sect. My disciple had previously asked someone to propose marriage to her."

The implication is that Master is overthinking things.

The reason for the marriage proposal was that someone was spreading rumors that Xiaolongnü was as beautiful as a fairy, like a fairy from Mount Gusha, and that she was holding a martial arts contest to find a husband. So, Huo Du, driven by lust, felt that he should bring her into his household.

To be honest, as a prince, Huo Du really behaved properly by inviting people to his home, showing the proper etiquette of the Han people.

If politeness won't work, then we'll just steal it.

Unfortunately, the matchmaker and his men he sent were all stung back by the jade bees.

Huo Du had given up at that point, but he never expected to meet her again today. After listening to his master's analysis of the so-called Golden Boy, Huo Du guessed the identity of this stunningly beautiful woman who looked like a banished immortal.

I never imagined the rumors were true; meeting him in person was even more impressive than hearing about him.

The world of the Han people was truly captivating, so Huo Du felt that his Mongol cavalry should traverse mountains and rivers to explore the magnificent landscape of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In response to his youngest disciple's question, the Golden Wheel Monk did not display his authority as a master. Instead, he countered with a question: "Where is the Ancient Tomb Sect then?"

"The Complete Perfection of Zhongnan Mountain..."

Huo Du's reply came to an abrupt halt.

Huo Du, who hadn't thought much about it before, and at most secretly tried to sow discord between the Quanzhen and Ancient Tomb sects while mocking the Quanzhen sect, was now being pulled into a state of doubt by his master, the Golden Wheel Monk.

"What was that woman's name?"

"Master, her name is Little Dragon Girl!"

Huo Du replied.

"Ha ha!"

The Golden Wheel Monk abruptly stopped in his tracks. If he had only been moved by the identity of the Golden Boy and Jade Girl before, he wouldn't have stopped. But after learning the Jade Girl's name from his young disciple Huo Du, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"What a beautiful little dragon girl!"

"What a fine example of the Quanzhen Sect! What a fine example of the Ancient Tomb Sect!"

boom!

He struck a large tree in half with a single palm strike.

At this moment, the Golden Wheel Monk was disgusted to the extreme, and even felt like vomiting. If it were just a golden boy and jade girl, it would be fine, but now he felt that the high-ranking members of the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect were throwing human-shaped yellow pills at him.

These old fogies!!!

Some people, even in death, don't give you peace of mind.

aside.

Darba and Hordu were both trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.

Even without mentioning his young apprentice Huo Du, even someone as simple-minded and foolish as Darba understood the meaning behind the name Xiaolongnu.

In Buddhism, bodhisattvas are accompanied by young boys and girls—this pair is also known as the Golden Boy and Dragon Girl.

What were the Buddhist monks in the Southern Song Dynasty doing?

This was directly robbed by the Taoist sect, and you didn't even say a word!

Is the Taoist sect a thief sect?

This was done by stepping on the Buddha's head, turning the Dragon Girl into a Jade Girl, making her a dignified and respectable figure in the eyes of the public, becoming the Golden Boy and Jade Girl of the Taoist sect.

Neither of them had ever imagined that the Buddhist sect of the Song Dynasty had been severely damaged by a Taoist priest named Lin Lingsu.

But Darba and Khodu understood that this was no longer just a matter between the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Dalba! Hordu!"

Having calmed his anger, the Golden Wheel Monk suddenly became serious and issued his decree: "After you two brothers have returned and recuperated, you shall lead the people to Zhongnan Mountain to pay homage to the Quanzhen Sect."

"Then Khodu, as a Mongol prince, proposed marriage to her!"

"If it's just a delaying stunt, that's fine, but if it escalates into a physical fight..."

Before the Golden Wheel Monk could finish speaking, Huo already understood what his master meant.

Before he could finish speaking, the Golden Wheel Dharma King strode forward.

Because he felt he was not strong enough and the Five Wheels Great Reincarnation seemed to be countered, the Golden Wheel Dharma King decided to directly improve his own strength.

He decided to delve deeper into the esoteric Buddhist Dharma Protector's Power, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Power, and even the supreme esoteric Buddhist teachings—Yoga Tantra.

The extraordinary wisdom of the Golden Wheel Monk told him that he needed extraordinary power.

The current figures are not enough.
