(Ancient Lords)

(Episode 14)

How lucky that the six paths can heal.

Otherwise, if I had to fight head-on with this Iron Armor,

I would have a short life.

Mission completed. Each person will be rewarded with 20 merits.

Zhending has a good rating and has the opportunity to draw lots.

Everything under the Exterior level

is within the range of drawing lots. All other things are average.

So exploring secrets is one of the important evaluation criteria.

If I draw the Arhat Punch, I will lose big.

What's there to be afraid of? It's unexpected wealth anyway.

This lot container moves on its own.

Junior Zhending, you're good at drawing lots.

You should be able to get good results.

You are overestimating me. I have only won a few consolation prizes

in some small lotteries in my life.

(Seventy-five thousand merits. Seven Heaven-Cutting Swords) Wow, it's the Heaven-Cutting Sword!

Ah, this thing can still play tricks.

Can I draw the Thirteen Deadly Swords?

(Two hundred merits. Thirteen Deadly Swords)

Although it sounds scary, it's still a good thing.

(Ten Merits. Lingzhi Qi-Boosting Pills)

Ah, this!

It's not as good as the top-grade long sword

or the Thirteen Deadly Swords.

But such a good elixir helps to build up my qi

as soon as possible if I take one every five days.

Lingzhi Qi-boosting Pills.

If it weren't for drawing the lot, I would also choose to exchange it.

Okay, it's not too bad.

We need to consider what to exchange for.

In the next mission, we may not have Master Xijing's help.

Exchange begins.

(Zhending. Merits. Two hundred and fifty)

I need to repair the White Rainbow Sword first.

Also, I saw a particularly unique sword technique.

The first 22 swords belong to the Acupoints level.

But the 23rd sword suddenly jumps to the Exterior level,

which is also quite impressive.

What? The 23rd sword? It is too dangerous.

I heard that using this sword technique

requires burning one's own life as a price.

I didn't expect you to know this sword technique.

Haven't you read martial…martial books before?

Huh? Why am I stuttering?

Little monk, rest assured. I exchange for the sword manual

to see how the sword moves and how the sword intent changes.

By studying the strengths of others, I can improve my own swordsmanship.

I won't let the sword technique take control.

Since you have made up your mind,

then go ahead and make the exchange.

Junior Zhending, do you want to strengthen your cross-training skills?

I'm not sure either. Before entering the reincarnation world this time,

I learned that the Bodhi Academy will reward me.

Perhaps it is one of the 72 ultimate skills,

but I don't know which one it will be.

You haven't been in the temple for long

and you can be rewarded by the Bodhi Academy.

I accidentally discovered someone

misusing the secret passage in the temple.

Still remember the secret passage of Jinchan Temple?

In fact, there is an identical secret passage in our world as well.

Two worlds unexpectedly have the same secret passage.

Perhaps there is some connection between them,

but we currently know too little to uncover it.

According to Jinchan's habit,

the reward from the Bodhi Academy must be

the non-technique Qi Cultivation skill from the seventy-two ultimate skills.

You can pick the Golden Armor or the Indestructible Vajra

without the need for further exchange.

OK. I need to complete the residual of Ananda's first move,

replenish the poisonous Needles of Rainstorm Pear Blossom,

and, elevate the Eight Divine Movements to the Hundred Divine Changes.

If there are still merits left,

I'll pick another good sword technique.

You've thought it through very well.

These are the most important ones for now.

If you don't have enough merit for the technique,

I can lend you ten merits. Return me 13 merits.

I can lend you.

Just return me 12 merits.

How long are you going to make fun of this?

(Hundred Divine Changes. Forty)

(The first move of Ananda's Breaking Swordsmanship. One hundred and ten)

Complete the Cleansing Move,

the first move of Ananda's Breaking Swordsmanship.

(Eight Divine Movements)

(Hundred Divine Changes)

Complete the Needles of Rainstorm Pear Blossom.

Needles of Rainstorm Pear Blossom are completed.

Special reminder: The Needles of Rainstorm Pear Blossom

have been used once and can be used two more times.

Oops, the left 50 merits are not enough for everything. (Zhending. Merits. Fifty) (Blood Blade Technique. Acquired)

Oops, the left 50 merits are not enough for everything. (North Divine Art. One thousand and five hundred) (Six-meridian Divine Sword. One thousand and three hundred)

(North Divine Art. One thousand and five hundred) (Six-meridian Divine Sword. One thousand and three hundred)

(North Divine Art. One thousand and five hundred) (Six-meridian Divine Sword. One thousand and three hundred) Can't the Six-path Lord have some installment or loan projects?

Can't the Six-path Lord have some installment or loan projects?

I can lend you thirty directly if you return me 36.

Senior Qi, when did you become so generous?

If you die in the next mission

due to lack of proficiency in swordsmanship,

the Needles of Rainstorm Pear Blossom may be

picked up by the enemy. It's very dangerous.

Is he cursing me or helping me?

I exchanged this.

By the way, Senior Qi, aren't you afraid of being discovered

when practicing secret techniques?

I'm just an ordinary disciple. It's easy to get by.

I'm just an ordinary disciple. It's easy to get by. (Bright Heaven's Treasure)

(Bright Heaven's Treasure)

(Bright Heaven's Treasure) After I become enlightened, I can apply to go out

After I become enlightened, I can apply to go out

for travel or guard the sect's external industries.

I don't know when I can leave Jinchan yet.

You can't leave Jinchan Temple.

Hey.

Joining a sect is a very serious matter in itself.

God is a witness. If you want to leave, there is only one way.

Violate the discipline severely,

get your martial arts abolished and be expelled from the sect.

Well, let's take it one step at a time.

Exchange completed. Please store the items properly

and return to your own world.

I'll have you this time.

Return all the remaining merits to Miss Jiang can be considered

as repaying her for giving me the Blood Blade Technique.

Perfect, hehe.

Junior Zhending, your three-day restriction is over.

You can go out now.

Thanks, senior brother.

Could there be any connection

between the secret passages in the two worlds?

(Do not enter this door of kindness and benevolence)

(Do not enter this door of kindness and benevolence) Do not enter this door of kindness and benevolence.

Do not enter this door of kindness and benevolence.

I clearly remember it was right here. How could it be missing?

There must be something hidden inside. It's so mysterious.

Last time, Zhenguan came out from here.

I should take another look when I have a chance.

Junior Zhending.

Abbot asks you and Junior Zhenhui to go to the Grand Hall.

Xuanbei, why do you want Zhending to be your disciple?

Back in the servant yard, Zhending was impulsive,

reckless, and very calculating.

At the Warrior Monk Academy,

he bullies the weak and acts arrogantly.

With such a temperament, how can he inherit Jinchan's lineage?

Although he made great contributions,

temperament matters for inheriting the lineage.

In my opinion,

why not let him choose a special Qi-cultivation skill as a reward?

Fellow senior and junior brothers, in the Warrior Monk Academy,

Zhending wasn't bullying the weak.

Zhenliang acted arrogantly in the Martial Hall

and frequently bullied others.

Zhenliang stood up for justice when he saw it.

Although his methods are wrong, his nature is not evil.

Taking in disciples is a personal matter.

We don't need to say much about it.

Xuanbei, you have to take the responsibility in the future.

I understand.

Could it be some rewards for Zhenguan's matter?

If I'm there to claim rewards, why do they need to see Junior?

Hey, junior, what have you been up to recently?

Morning class, fetching water, breakfast, learning words,

lunch, practicing martial arts, dinner,

meditating, listening to stories, and sleeping.

Senior, well, there is also scolding Discipline Court.

Ah, it's not about that.

Do you know why the abbot asked you to come?

Senior, do you know?

Well, I don't know either.

No noise is allowed.

Abbot, Senior Uncle, Zhending and Zhenhui are here.

It's my first time to come here.

It's the same as the one in the Six-path world.

Zhenhui, Xuanbei wants to take you as a disciple. Are you willing?

Although this guy doesn't look very smart,

he always catches the eye of the master monks.

I am willing, but I have one request.

Others are always grateful. Why do you have demands?

You are also honest and sincere. So what's your request?

Please accept Senior Zhending as a disciple, too.

You guy…

You guys are so kind to each other.

Oh no, I want to be an ordinary person in Jinchan Temple.

I don't want to attract attention like this.

I'll leave Jinchuan when I have the chance.

And you, please don't agree, please don't agree. I don't deserve it.

Zhending, I can feel your desire.

Since Zhenhui is so persistent, then I reluctantly agree.

My damn affectionate eyes.

Pay respect to you, Master.

Pay respect to you, Master.

(Disciple Record)

Since you have become my disciple,

you can choose a unique skill as your main cultivation technique.

Well, someone like me with extraordinary aptitude...

Master will surely know that I am suitable

for Finger of No Form or Finger of Flower Picking.

But alas, I must disappoint him.

I am so focused on the Golden Armor or the Indestructible Vajra.

Zhending, you choose the Golden Armor.

Perhaps this is fate.

You are not Zhenhui. He is single-minded, steady,

focused, and in line with the true meaning of Buddhism.

That's why I will let him learn the Finger of Flower Picking.

You have a lively personality. When you travel around the world,

you are bound to encounter dangers.

With your Iron Armor foundation,

practicing the Golden Armor

and the Indestructible Vajra is the best choice.

Start by cultivating the Golden Armor

to temper the impetuosity in your character,

and then it's not late to practice the Indestructible Vajra.

Master, why is it not late?

You don't seem to learn Buddhism seriously.

Aryaacalanatha, also known as Immovable Lord Achala,

is the sublimation of the Vajra Dharmakaya cultivated by the Golden Armor.

It is of the same origin, so it will not be late.

Master, when can I start practicing the Golden Armor?

(Finger of Flower Picking. Golden Armor)

(Finger of Flower Picking. Golden Armor) I have already transcribed these two unique skills for you.

(Finger of Flower Picking. Golden Armor) You can start practicing tomorrow.

You can start practicing tomorrow.

However, before you reach enlightenment,

you can only see the first four levels of the Golden Armor.

As you ordered.

Go back to the Warrior Monk Academy

and pack up to move to my place.

Zhending, I will take you to a special place for practice tomorrow.

With your foundation in Iron Armor,

you can quickly master the first three levels

of the Golden Armor in that place.
