Chapter 766: Great Supreme Chan (II)
The Five-Eyed Merciful One slowly regained consciousness. The first thing that entered his vision was a radiant white surface. It was smooth and crystal-clear, though bright white patterns could be seen through the pale layer. Just one glance made his head spin.
The terror in his heart only rose as he gradually came to his senses. He dared not lift his head and simply stared at the white mist curling around his legs. His heart felt frozen, and the chill was not helping his dizziness.
His teeth chattered as he muttered, “It’s over... I’ve provoked someone far beyond me...”
Hearing no movement, the Merciful One slowly raised his head and his heart nearly burst from terror. A vast, boundless hall stretched before him. Pristine jade pillars soared into the clouds, and at the highest point sat a man clad in white.
His face radiated dazzling light, so white and brilliant that the Merciful One winced in pain. His garments exuded celestial grace as he leaned upon a lofty jade immortal seat. The light cascading from him transformed into the myriad forms of lifelike and vivid sentient beings once the rays hit the ground.
This... this! His eyes felt like they were on the verge of bleeding, and upon seeing the immortal seat soaring into the heavens, his heart went hollow. Only one thought remained in his mind, An immortal?!
Lu Jiangxian gazed at the Five-Eyed Merciful One on the ground. He rested one hand gently on the jade seat, composed and unhurried.
This was the second time someone had divined his true form. But he was no longer the Lu Jiangxian of the past; he had risen far above that. Moreover, what stood before him now wasn’t the Maha Jinlian who briefly could trap him, but merely a Merciful One of the Way of Emptiness. He was no better than a fish slab falling into his hand.
He gestured discreetly and a golden radiance bloomed in his palm. Morning mist churned and thoughts flickered within it. Bit by bit, the Merciful One’s memories surfaced, each idea from his mind laid bare.
I’ll just wait and watch, thought the Merciful One.
Lu Jiangxian remained silent, as if cultivating in seclusion. The Merciful One trembled on the floor for a moment, his terror far beyond its limit. When he looked up, he was struck again by the blinding brilliance of the immortal seat above. It was vast and overwhelming, so he could only lower his gaze to the floor again.
