Upon hearing Lin Fei's answer, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of all the monks.
They hadn't expected Lin Fei to answer so readily. They thought he would at least decline a little, but he actually agreed right away.
In an instant, the heads of each academy were all eager to teach this brat who had stolen the Buddhist divine skill a lesson.
At this moment, Abbot Du Nan Shen Seng spoke again: "Amitabha, since you are inclined to Buddhism, that is naturally the best thing. Even so, how about I make an agreement with you?"
Lin Fei knew that what the monk Du Nan was saying was probably the true purpose of Leiyin Temple, so he nodded and replied, "Abbot, please speak."
"Amitabha," the monk Du Nan slowly said, "You have learned our temple's divine skill by chance, which is predestined and cannot be blamed on you." He continued, "However, our temple's martial arts have always been forbidden to outsiders. Even I, as the abbot, would have to be stripped of my skills and forced to reflect on my actions if I were to pass this skill on to an outsider. Now that you have learned it, it is your own destiny, and I will not forcibly strip you of your skills. However, our temple's martial arts require a profound foundation in Buddhist teachings; otherwise, one is prone to making mistakes and going astray. Therefore, I will make a deal with you: if any of our monks are fortunate enough to defeat you, you will remain in Leiyin Temple until your Buddhist cultivation is sufficient to control the divine skill. Then I will allow you to leave the mountain. What do you say?"
The old monk spoke in a grand and righteous tone, seemingly making perfect sense. Moreover, if this agreement were made, it would become a matter of mutual consent. In that case, not only would Du Qingmu not be able to justify himself, but even if the Hidden Sword Elder himself went up the mountain, Leiyin Temple would not be able to justify his actions, and Leiyin Temple would not have to release the person.
Moreover, Lin Fei had long heard of the methods of Leiyin Temple. In Buddhism, there are many supernatural martial arts that can influence people's minds and spirits. Over the years, there have been many villains in the martial arts world who have been converted into the temple.
If Lin Fei is defeated by these high-ranking monks, whether his Buddhist cultivation is sufficient to control the divine skill will be up to them. It's not impossible that they could imprison Lin Fei for ten or eight years. If Lin Fei doesn't agree to become a disciple of Leiyin Temple then, he might never be able to leave Little Spirit Mountain again. If Lin Fei becomes a disciple of Leiyin Temple, the divine skill won't be considered an outsider's transmission; it will simply be learned by their own disciples ahead of time.
This revered monk seemed to have a well-thought-out plan and was quite confident that Lin Fei was no match for the monks in the temple. However, Lin Fei was never one to suffer a loss, so he asked instead, "What if I were to be fortunate enough to win a move or two? What are your plans, Master?"
Upon hearing this, the monk Du Nan was slightly taken aback. Although he was very confident that Lin Fei was no match for the heads of the various academies, it would be too unseemly for him not to even make preparations for Lin Fei's victory.
After thinking for a moment, the monk Du Nan said to Lin Fei, "If you win, our temple will grant you any of our most powerful and protective techniques, except for those at the Celestial Realm level. What do you think?"
As an ancient and orthodox Buddhist sect, Leiyin Temple possesses numerous divine skills and unique techniques. However, given Lin Fei's current level of cultivation, while martial arts below the Celestial Realm are quite tempting to ordinary people, they hold less appeal for him. Lin Fei already possesses several divine skills and unique techniques, making martial arts below the Celestial Realm less useful to him.
Lin Fei smiled and said, "How could I dare to covet your temple's divine skills? If I am fortunate enough to win even a single move, Abbot, you only need to grant me one request."
The monk Du Nan nodded and said, "If it does not violate the rules of our temple or the code of conduct of the martial world, this old monk will naturally not refuse."
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Master, rest assured, I am, after all, the ruler of a country, and I would never do anything that goes against the principles of martial arts."
The revered monk nodded slightly: "In that case, please begin, benefactor!"
……
Lin Fei made a pact with Abbot Du Nan of Leiyin Temple, and Lin Fei's opponents were naturally the heads of the various academies of Leiyin Temple.
Although Lin Fei is a generation younger than the heads of the various academies of Leiyin Temple, who are of the same generation as Lin Fei's master, Yuanyi, Lin Fei's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. Among his peers, it is difficult to find a match for him. Even a world-renowned martial arts sect like Leiyin Temple can only send a head-level figure to challenge him.
Although Lin Fei achieved the Dharma Aspect realm in one step, his true cultivation level was only at the first level of the Dharma Aspect realm. If the heads of each academy were to use their second or even third level strength to deal with a junior, it would be laughable that Leiyin Temple was too petty. Therefore, the monk Du Nan instructed that the heads of each academy could only suppress their own cultivation to the same level of the first level when fighting Lin Fei.
Although their cultivation levels were suppressed, these abbots possessed solid foundations, far surpassing those of ordinary Dharma Aspect Level 1 cultivators. Therefore, the monks of Leiyin Temple were equally confident in defeating Lin Fei.
“Amitabha, then let this humble monk be the first to experience your superior skills!” said a senior monk, stepping forward from the crowd to become Lin Fei’s first opponent.
Lin Fei had met this head monk once before – he was the head monk of the Bodhidharma Hall of Leiyin Temple, known in the martial arts world as Master Xuan Kong, also known as "Buddha Points to the Western Paradise".
Lin Fei bowed to Xuan Kong and said, "Please enlighten me, Master."
"No rush, no rush." Xuan Kong waved his hand and smiled at Lin Fei, "This humble monk knows that you have mastered the true teachings of various schools, but since today we are discussing Buddhist martial arts, you must not use martial arts from other schools. What do you think?"
Lin Fei possesses a vast array of martial arts skills, including the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill of Buddhism, the true martial arts of the Jade Emperor Sect, the Qi Observation Technique of the Southern Tang Dynasty's Li Family Emperor, the secret teachings of the Hidden Sword Elder, and the Three Immortal Swords, the best in the world. He even possesses martial arts from the Eight Evil Paths. In terms of the sheer number of martial arts techniques he has mastered, even the abbots of Leiyin Temple are far inferior to Lin Fei.
Xuan Kong's actions were somewhat due to his wariness of Lin Fei's numerous unique skills, especially the Three Immortal Swords, a true inheritance from the Hidden Sword Elder.
Lin Fei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well, as you say, Master, I will use Buddhist martial arts to learn from your Buddhist skills!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Kong smiled slightly: "This humble monk is the head of the Bodhidharma Hall of Leiyin Temple. I will use the Bodhidharma Hall's unique finger technique to test your Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and see what level you have reached!"
Leiyin Temple is an ancient and orthodox Buddhist sect, with numerous unique martial arts techniques. Each academy has its own specialized skills, and the Dharma Hall specializes in finger techniques. This monk Xuankong is known in the martial arts world as "Buddha's Finger to the Western Paradise," which speaks volumes about the depth of his finger techniques.
