Sign In Buddha’s Palm

Chapter 20



Chapter 20: Jiuqu Sanren.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“The [Eyes of Truth] turned out to be so terrifying!”

When Su Qin opened his eyes, he wore a surprised expression.

According to the System, the [Eyes of Truth] is not an Attack-Based Magic, but instead it is more inclined to be considered as an Auxiliary Magic.

With the [Eyes of Truth], Su Qin can easily discern falsehood and detect danger.

Moreover, the [Eyes of Truth] has a terrifying grasp of the Internal Strength. Meaning as long as Su Qin has seen a person’s Qi once, even if that person is hundreds of miles away, Su Qin can still lock on the person’s position!

But what attracted Su Qin the most, was that it was ‘Magic’.

What is ‘Magic’?

No matter what kind of Divine Art or Secret Technique, they need Internal Strength or Life Essence to use. But even for a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, they don’t have endless Internal Strength, meaning using such moves is not without limit.

This is especially true for moves that need Life Essence.

Because as the Life Essence is being consumed, so does the strength of the Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.

But Magic is different.

Magic is like a person’s instinct, it is like breathing, and there is no consumption of anything.

In other words.

As long as Su Qin willed it, he can always use [Eyes of Truth].

This was because for Su Qin, the [Eyes of Truth] was like eating and drinking water, which doesn’t require much thinking.

“In the rumors, when Buddhist Cultivation reaches the extreme, one can give birth to various Magic, such as [Heart Connect], [Heavenly Eye]…”

Su Qin’s thoughts moved.

“Let’s try the effect of the [Eyes of Truth].”

Su Qin calmed himself down.

Su Qin felt his eyes turn cold, and his vision suddenly turned clear, without any blind spots.

And apart from this.

Su Qin can faintly feel that countless Internal Strengths were rising from all directions. These Internal Strengths were either far or near, strong or weak, and all were captured with his eyes.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Su Qin turned his gaze and looked at the corpse of the Grade 1 Great Grandmaster not far away.

With the [Eyes of Truth], Su Qin almost instantly confirmed that this Grade 1 Great Grandmaster was truly dead, and that he didn’t do anything or set up some sort of trap near his corpse.

At this moment, Su Qin found that the Grade 1 Great Grandmaster was holding a roll of animal skin tightly in his hands.

Su Qin flicked his finger and the animal skin fell out.

Su Qin picked up the animal skin and took a look.

“I studied Martial Arts at the age of eight and traveled the world. I entered the Upper Realm at the age of 38 and became Grade 1 at age 79. After more than a hundred years, I am still stuck in Grade 1. I regret that I failed to break through the bottleneck to the Legend Realm…”

The history of this Grade 1 Great Grandmaster was recorded on this roll of animal skin.

It included his childhood experience, his ecstasy after becoming a Martial Artist, and his lonely life at the top after finally entering Grade 1.

This Grade 1 Great Grandmaster was named Jiuqu Sanren. Although he had no father nor mother, his Martial Dao aptitude was the best. With only a few incomplete Cultivation Techniques he picked up, he managed to cultivate Internal Strength.

Since then, he has soared into the sky. And in just over seventy years, he advanced by leaps and bounds and became a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.

When he just became a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster and was standing in the Peak of the world, Jiuqu Sanren was quite happy; even often compared himself with other Grade 1 Great Grandmasters.

But when he turned a hundred years old, Jiuqu Sanren panicked.

That’s because although a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster’s lifespan is far beyond an ordinary person, the limit is still only two hundred years old.

If he wants to live longer, he can only go one step further and step into the Legend Realm.

“I have heard about the Shaolin Temple inheritance and learned of an Arhat’s way. In order to find a breakthrough, I hid in the Thousand Buddhas Hall, thinking hard day and night.”

“At the age of 170, my Internal Strength and flesh body were already polished to the limit, but the Legend Realm was still nowhere in sight.”

“How do you break through to the Legend Realm? What do you have to do in order to break through this bottleneck?”

The further one read, the more scribbled the recorded handwriting was. There was endless unwillingness and despair contained within the words.

Su Qin was silent.

“Jiuqu Sanren, he should have infiltrated the Temple sixty years ago. At that time, the last known Holy Monk of the Shaolin Temple passed away… So he has been hiding until now.”

Su Qin sighed.

Throughout the world, a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster is rare, but some of them will be born in each era.

But for a Legend, or Buddhism’s Arhat, one can only be born in every era or even several eras.

Su Qin does not know other places, but at least in the Shaolin Temple, ever since the last Arhat passed away to suppress the Demon Buddha 900 years ago, no one has ever attained Arhat Buddhahood.

Although it was also part due to the Demon Buddha’s inheritance that constantly shakes the foundation of the Shaolin Temple, nonetheless just the overall difficulty of reaching Arhat Buddhahood is sky-high.

“In the future, will I be like Jiuqu Sanren? Will I die alone, just waiting for my death?”

Su Qin eyebrows slightly frowned, and such a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

But as soon as this idea emerged, Su Qin threw it away.

That’s because Jiuqu Sanren couldn’t be compared with him at all.

Su Qin has a System, can Sign In and obtain countless treasures. With it, he can enter the Legend Realm.

Furthermore, Jiuqu Sanren didn’t understand, even until his death, why he didn’t even see the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck.

But for Su Qin, he knows. And in his eyes, Jiuqu Sanren was on the wrong path.

Jiuqu Sanren spent more than a hundred years to polish the his flesh body and Internal Strength, but when in fact, if you want to step into Legend Realm, in addition to the flesh body and Internal Strength, you also need to perfect Divinity.

Divinity!

Body!

Internal Strength!

The three are one, and if you’re missing even one, there is little hope of even touching the bottleneck.

Apart from this, Su Qin just got the [Eyes of Truth] and not only can he get insight into objects, but he can also observe himself.

Meaning with the [Eyes of Truth], Su Qin’s control of his own Life Essence, Internal Strength and Divinity has reached an incredible level.

At the moment, Su Qin can clearly feel his deficiencies and defects.

Although the [Eyes of Truth] cannot directly help Su Qin fix these, it points out the direction for Su Qin.

Obtaining this Magic was really like a pie falling from the sky.

“My journey to the Thousand Buddhas Hall to Sign In this time was really the right choice!”

“Although even without the [Eyes of Truth], I am still confident that I can step into the Legend Realm, but to get there I would’ve certainly need to go through many detours.”

Su Qin had a smile on his face.

He then looked at the corpse of Jiuqu Sanren: “Don’t worry, I will take upon your will, and tread the road you haven’t reached and see the scenery you haven’t witnessed!”

After that, Su Qin put the animal skin in front of Jiuqu Sanren, turned around and left.

As for the body of Jiuqu Sanren, Su Qin did not touch it.

Although the Thousand Buddhas Hall is a forbidden area, every once in a while, there will be a special disciple who comes in and cleans it.

Of course when Jiuqu Sanren was still alive, the disciple who came in to clean absolutely didn’t have the ability to find him.

But now that Jiuqu Sanren is dead, and the corpse was there, when the next Shaolin Temple disciple comes in to clean the Hall, they will naturally see it.

At that time, the Shaolin Temple will deal with Jiuqu Sanren’s corpse.
