Chapter 302: The Calamity of Slaughter! The Third Realm Yang Spirit Battle!
Unlike the kindly, benevolent-looking old monks, Master Wuse was so young he seemed like an ordinary low-ranking disciple.
And he was not a handsome monk, either. He was a stout, slightly plump young man with a bitter gourd face[1], always carrying an expression of sorrow and worry. If one had not seen him, no one would imagine that the young abbot of Jinguang Temple would look like this.
At this moment, Master Wuse sat cross-legged, and from within his body came incessant shrill howls. At times his eyes closed, at times they snapped open. Now and then he even pinched his throat to speak, a completely unfamiliar voice spilling out.
Among common folk, if something like this happened, they would normally summon a shaman, or monks and Daoists, to exorcise the spirit.
But for such a scene to appear in the body of Master Wuse was truly terrifying. He was, after all, the clearest and most transparent Buddha-heart to appear in Jinguang Temple in centuries. At any moment, he could condense his Yang Spirit and achieve the third realm!
Compared to him, those so-called “Buddha's Sons” or “Dao’s Sons” paled in comparison.
Ordinarily, Master Wuse was gentle, without malice or intent to kill. But tragically, something had gone wrong with this youth, the pillar of Jinguang Temple who was brimming with promise and seemed the least likely to ever go astray.
And what had gone wrong was his state of mind. He had fallen prey to a heart demon!
It nearly shook the very foundation of Jinguang Temple. What was meant to be a dual-Yang Spirit lineage, destined to elevate Jinguang Temple’s Dao heritage, had instead been marred by this dire misfortune.
The Buddhist relics of the high monks of ages past had been placed on the third level, providing Master Wuse with strength to suppress his heart demon. The strength of the entire temple was being poured into this, including one genuine third realm Yang Spirit realm master.
Even so, Master Wuse’s heart demon was terrifying.
“Well, well... bald donkey, so you’ve come. Long time no see!”
