Chapter 548: Inside the Buddhist Sect
In front of the gate, two monks stood guard with staffs in hand. When they noticed figures approaching, they looked toward them and raised their eyebrows, instantly recognizing one of them.
As Aldrian and Venerable Karma Seeker neared, the guards immediately bowed.
"Welcome back, Master," they said.
Venerable Karma Seeker stopped and smiled at them.
"How are you two doing? Is everything alright?" he asked.
"We are good, Master. There is no problem, everything is normal," one of them replied.
"Good. Then I will bring our esteemed guest inside," Venerable Karma Seeker said, prompting the guards to glance at the robed figure behind him. They wondered who it was but did not ask, and instead opened the gate for Venerable Karma Seeker and Aldrian to enter.
Once Aldrian entered, he was immediately greeted by the bustling activity within the sect. Several training fields stretched out before him, each occupied by monks deep in their practice. They were training in Buddhist techniques such as the golden body, staff arts, sound elements combined with chanting, battle formations, and more.
Aldrian was stunned. What he saw was that the monks of the Buddhist Sect seemed more prepared than anything. It was as if they already knew what was coming, and every one of them was ready for it.
He kept following Venerable Karma Seeker, watching the monks as they trained in their techniques. It was the first time he had seen them in training, and it truly impressed him. These monks were incredibly strong with their techniques. He could sense their power—enough to fight across cultivation levels—even though the ones practicing were only lower-level Buddhist cultivators.
Every monk who saw Venerable Karma Seeker stopped their training and bowed in respect. They glanced at Aldrian as well, curious. Venerable Karma Seeker had never brought anyone inside personally like this before.
