Chapter 1257: Get Lost
“They have... become another... who isn’t themselves? I don’t understand, scion. Who else could they be if they’re not themselves?” The boatman looked utterly confused.
“Their physical bodies are the same, but the human has become inhuman,” Ye Qing replied thoughtfully.
It was at this moment a bell chimed from the temple once more. The next moment, golden lapis lazuli light burst out of the temple like a sun.
The golden lapis lazuli light seemed to be imbued with some sort of mysterious, profound sound of the Buddha. One by one, the people who had shed their worries and entered the temple appeared amidst the light. A Buddhist mark automatically appeared on their forehead, Buddhist discipline appeared on their skull, and Buddhist patterns appeared around their clothes. Their expressions grew increasingly solemn, and their presences terrifying.
In just a dozen breaths or so, the warriors—originally Spirit Purifiers and Spirit Masters only—had transformed into Truemen and Grandmasters.
The golden lapis lazuli light faded, and the group suddenly appeared in the sky, floating. There were eighteen of them in total. Their heads were emitting a Buddhist light, their eyes were burning with spiritual flames, and their brows were marked by Buddhist patterns like a Golden Body Arhat or a divine protector. They looked mighty impressive.
“They’re out!”
“They became Truemen. They actually became Truemen!”
Amidst countless envious looks, the eighteen warriors descended to the river and landed firmly on its surface like it was solid ground, lotuses growing underneath their feet.
“Namo Lapis Lazuli Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva...”
The eighteen warriors then turned to face the mountain temple. They made a moonlight mudra and chanted the Bodhisattva’s title.
