Chapter 2284 - The Owner of the Coffin Shop
“Why not intervene in the battle at Cloudy Heights Temple?” the woman asked in confusion.
The Dipankara Buddha smiled. “It was just a test; I didn’t go in person.”
“What were you testing?”
“I sensed that something strange was afoot when the Rahu Yao Ancestor made it out of the Extreme Lightning Demon Cave alive,” said the Dipankara Buddha. “To the best of my knowledge, he was trapped on the ninth level of the Dao Transformation Blood Cave. He should have been doomed beyond a doubt, yet somehow, he made it out.”
He paused, then added, “I won’t lie to you. The Rahu Yao Ancestor and I are on the same side, so I, too, thought of a way to lend him a hand, or at least keep him alive.
“I was going to put it into place, too, but when I tried, I discovered the spacetime node hidden on the ninth level of the Dao Transformation Blood Cave, and the extremely dangerous character hiding there.
“He called himself one of the Five Sovereigns of the Epoch of the Five Sovereigns. His title was Celestial Polarity.” The Dipankara Buddha frowned. “If I’m not mistaken, he’s already touched the threshold of the River of Destiny.
“It was he who captured the Rahu Yao Ancestor alive. Thus, I refrained from taking action recklessly.
“Yet now, the captured Rahu Yao Ancestor returned alive and intact. That’s naturally highly out of the ordinary.”
The Dipankara Buddha paused, then said, “If that were the extent of it, I wouldn’t suspect Su Yi’s identity. The crux of the matter is that one of the Rahu Yao Ancestor’s descendants, Feng Wuji, has a connection to Su Yi!
“I suspect that Feng Wuji requested Su Yi’s aid, and that’s how he saved the Rahu Yao Ancestor from the Celestial Polarity Great Sovereign.”
The woman finally understood. “So you had Cloudy Heights Temple announce their plans in advance to test your hypothesis?”
