Chapter 501 – Requiting a Debt of Gratitude
The entire scene had become quiet. The monk wearing the golden Kasaya was hovering above the Heavenhawk Island. He still wore the expression of an eminent monk. However, after witnessing his brutal approaches, and how he slaughtered those people just now, if anyone still treated him as an eminent monk, that guy would be a true idiot.
The monk casually waved his hand. As if having sensed a calling, the golden sarira flew into his grasp. Logically, after obtaining the sarira, he should instantly put it away. But instead, he openly placed the sarira on top of his palm, and ran his eyes across the faces of all those present. It seemed like he was provoking them, as if he was saying, ‘Do you guys still want it? Why don’t you fight me and take it?’
Many people felt as if they were about to cough out blood. Even Jiang Chen and Big Yellow couldn’t stand it any longer. Damn it, this monk was really shameless! Although there were many other shameless people in this world, the key point was that this was a monk! Of course, no one has said that a monk can’t be shameless. However, this guy had the face of an eminent monk!
“Misters, if none of you are going to fight for this treasure, I will have no choice but to take it away with me.”
The monk said.
“Damn monk, you’ve killed so many geniuses from the four major powers! Just you wait, the Invincible Sect’s fury will rain down upon you very soon! You will definitely die a horrible death!”
Someone from the Invincible Sect said while gritting his teeth in anger.
“I would immediately absorb it.”
Big Yellow answered. He was no idiot, of course he knew the importance of a Buddhist’s sarira. If Big Yellow obtained that sarira, he would definitely absorb it at once, and use it to strengthen himself.
“That’s right. I’m sure that monk must be very eager to absorb that sarira now. If my guess is correct, he should be looking for a secret place. However, this guy has killed so many geniuses of the four major powers, and they definitely won’t forgive him. If they mighty warriors from the four major powers attack the monk while absorbing the sarira, the consequences will be devastating.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Don’t tell me you’re going to stand against all the mighty warrior of the four major powers for that monk?”
Big Yellow finally understood what Jiang Chen’s objective was. However, this only confused him even further. Since when was this guy such a warmhearted man? For the sake of a monk he had never met before, he would stand against four major powers? This was not Jiang Chen’s style!
“That’s right, I have to help him. Consider this me requiting a debt of gratitude.”
Jiang Chen said with utmost seriousness.
“Requite a debt of gratitude? You owe that monk a favor?! Are you kidding me?!”
Big Yellow could no longer stand it. The reason Jiang Chen wanted to help that monk was because he wanted to requite an old debt of gratitude. However, Big Yellow remembered that when the sarira revealed itself to the public, Jiang Chen showed intentions of seizing it, but when the monk attacked, he immediately changed his mind.
“I don’t owe that monk a debt of gratitude, but his Ancestor. Do you remember that Buddhist Seal that monk used just now? There are actually three Buddhist seals; the Fudo Seal, the Holy Seal, and the Lion Seal. The seal used by that monk just now is the Fudo Seal.”
Jiang Chen said.
“So?”
Big Yellow expressed a great interest in the story.
“Ever since the Buddhist path started going downhill, the three Seal became lost skills. Amongst all Buddhists, only Ancestor Greenlotus knows how to use the skill, and he only mastered the Fudo Seal. Thus, I am sure that this monk is one of Ancestor Greenlotus’s inheritors. Many years ago, Ancestor Greenlotus saved my life. Thus, no matter what, I have to requite this debt of gratitude.”
Jiang Chen explained. He had met Ancestor Greenlotus many years ago. During that time, he had just finished fighting against mighty devils. He was severely injured, and was at the brink of death. Fortunately, Ancestor Greenlotus had saved his life. However, not long after that, Ancestor Greenlotus had gone missing. Even after Jiang Chen became the number one Saint underneath the heavens, he never had the chance to pay Ancestor Greenlotus back for the gratitude he had shown him. Thinking back to I now, with Ancestor Greenlotus’s strength, perhaps he had already entered the Immortal Realm.
After meeting the monk today, Jiang Chen firmly believed that he must be Ancestor Greenlotus’s inheritor. Even if he wasn’t, he must have some kind of relationship with him. Therefore, when Jiang Chen saw the Fudo Seal, he instantly gave up on involving himself. Not only that, he wanted to help the monk absorb the sarira, so that he could pay back Ancestor Greenlotus for the kindness he had shown him.
Also, compared to those arrogant geniuses of the four major powers, Jiang Chen found this monk much more likable.
“Damn it, who is that Ancestor Greenlotus? You’re only eighteen years old now, so why does it sound like you’re an old monster who have lived for a few hundred years?”
Big Yellow felt gloomy. He couldn’t figure out how Jiang Chen could possibly have some kind of relationship with the Ancestor of Buddhism, and even had his life saved by the Ancestor before.
“Don’t ask so much. No matter what, I’m determined to help this monk. Let’s go!”
Jiang Chen then began flying once more.
