Chapter 308: Golden Palace Radiant Origin Manual
Hearing him mention something the way of Great Compassion and Joyous Lotus, Lu Jiangxian immediately understood that this person was a Buddhist cultivator, potentially a Dharma Master who was as powerful as a Golden Core Realm immortal cultivator. He was secretly shocked but knew nothing much of the relationships between these Revered Ones and Dao Embryos.
Wanting to coax this Maha into revealing more information, he merely sneered and snorted coldly, "Heh!"
Maha Jinlian was greatly alarmed, thinking to himself, Indeed... this is an immortal. Even a Revered One comparable to a Dao Embryo is just a junior in front of him... This spells trouble...
He knocked his head to the ground repeatedly, begging loudly for mercy. Lu Jiangxian glanced at him and sneered. "I have been out of the world for a long time... Now, even such riffraff dares to spy on me!"
Lu Jiangxian originally intended to boast about being away for millennia, but realizing that too many words could cause mistakes, he decided to speak vaguely. Maha Jinlian observed the ancient patterns on the ground, feeling a sense of age, and thought to himself, I have never seen this... it must be at least a thousand years old! No wonder… No wonder!
In his heart, he cursed, How long did this old monster seclude himself to miss such cataclysmic events? No wonder he is still in the world... It's my misfortune to encounter such an old monster...
Maha Jinlian fawningly smiled, slapped his own face twice, and bowed, saying, "Please forgive me, Exalted Immortal… Since the upheaval sixteen hundred years ago, even Revered Ones and Dao Embryos have disappeared. This humble monk meant no offense... Please have mercy, Exalted Immortal!"
Lu Jiangxian reclined at the top as he listened, slowly furrowing his brows. He had heard that a war between the immortals and devils had taken place fifteen or sixteen hundred years ago. His heart was stirred, and he thought, There is indeed a problem. Given the nature of these Purple Mansion Golden Core Daoists and Mahas Dharma Masters, there must be an issue behind this Immortal-Devil War...
He shook his head slightly, feigning confusion as he said, "Upheaval? I have been out of the world for a long time and sensed vaguely that something was amiss..."
