Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 965: Hongyun, You Came to the Divine Land Too?
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"Huh?"
"What's that flying overhead?"
Amid the crowded, lively streets packed with folks, a person caught sight of a crimson blur streaking by and swiftly jumped out of the way.
Master Hongyun softly drifted down to land.
Once he regained his balance, he examined his condition and let out a relieved sigh filled with dread, "Fortunately, that fellow held back in his kick!"
Master Hongyun scanned his surroundings and noticed numerous cultivators boasting far superior realms to his own, leaving him unavoidably disheartened.
After lingering in a stupor for some moments, he shuffled his steps and lurched into a narrow alleyway.
With such an immense world, whatever path should he take to locate his master?
"I can only continue triggering my heart imprint to find my mentor now..."
Arriving at a secluded spot, Master Hongyun halted, rested against the wall, settled down, and shut his eyes.
As just a minor cultivator at the First Level True God Realm, nobody spared him a glance.
This granted Master Hongyun a measure of tranquility instead.
...
The celestial boat of the Holy Buddha Sect gradually lowered next to a serene lake in Qingya Immortal Residence.
Sparkling waters gleamed there, encircled by verdant meadows.
Ye Yun leaped from the celestial boat.
"Ye Chen, you truly frightened me earlier—I nearly believed you booted Master Hongyun straight to Hell for a chat with Yama!"
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman chuckled.
"He hasn't located his mentor yet, so how could I allow his death?"
Ye Yun shrugged his shoulders.
"I've truly never come across mentions of this Evil Buddha Sect. Yet if you require it, I could look into it for you..."
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman stated earnestly.
"No necessity for that—their sect possesses a unique inheritance where, through a particular divine technique, disciple and master can sense one another. We simply await positive developments inside Jade Buddha City..."
Ye Yun offered a faint smile and gestured assuredly with his hand.
He held strong faith in the Evil Buddha Sect's heart imprint.
After all, back when he slew that monk at Ten Thousand Dragon Ridge on Cangnan Continent, Master Hongyun—imprisoned a billion miles distant by the Buddha Flame Root—still discerned his visage, proving the remarkable potency of this heart imprint divine skill.
Even if Master Hongyun hadn't reached his mentor previously, that didn't signify much.
His master might have been secluded in cultivation, unable to detect Master Hongyun's calls.
Presently, with every Buddha Sect force from the Divine Land assembled in Jade Buddha City, Master Hongyun's mentor was bound to appear.
At that moment,
The pair would link up.
"Greetings, Saintess!"
Several women clad in white robes glided forward gracefully and, spotting Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman descending the celestial boat, promptly dropped to their knees.
"Rise, everyone!"
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman gave a gentle smile and lifted her elegant hand.
A wave of mana hoisted them to their feet.
"Saintess, numerous Buddha Sect experts have long awaited you inside Qingya Immortal Residence."
The foremost white-robed beauty with striking features smiled while reporting.
"Very well, understood!"
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman appeared to recall something, her brows knitting faintly, yet she consented anyway.
"What's the issue?"
Ye Yun grinned and inquired.
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman curved her lips in a shy smile.
Yoga Godlord, grasping the matter, clarified, "Being the foremost authority in the Buddhist Path, the Holy Buddha Sect commands universal respect. With the Saintess's arrival, countless forces will naturally flock to offer homage—these are obligatory protocols that can't be refused..."
"Ah, got it."
Ye Yun chuckled softly, unconcerned.
Afterward, he trailed Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman into a majestic hall.
At the hall's forefront sat a jade throne radiating subtle Buddha radiance.
Evidently, it served as Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman's personal seat.
"You handle your duties—I'll simply observe the spectacle from here!"
Ye Yun dismissed with a casual flick of his hand, then strolled to the jade throne's rear with hands clasped behind him.
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman smiled in resignation and elegantly took her place on the jade throne.
Yoga Godlord, versed in decorum, positioned himself silently behind Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman.
The white-robed attendant from Qingya Immortal Residence stood ahead and off to the side of Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman.
With a light gesture from Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, a disciple outside guided in a monk garbed in green robes.
"Hui Ming from the Hua Yun Buddha Sect, offers respects to the Saintess!"
The green-robed monk, beholding Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman upon the exalted seat, brimmed with awe and devotion, hurrying forth to prostrate himself while proclaiming loudly.
"Stand..."
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman smiled warmly.
Her smile carried springlike gentleness.
Swayed by it, the green-robed monk rose promptly.
Ye Yun cast a casual look his way.
He found that this young monk had only attained the Fifth Layer of the God Venerate Realm, explaining why he panicked so much at the sight of Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman.
Indeed, Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman had already stepped into the Divine King Realm.
Her mighty aura from the Divine King Realm, paired with her roots in the Holy Buddha Sect, easily overwhelmed lesser powers from other Buddha Sects.
The green-robed monk finished paying his respects to the Saintess and quickly stepped back.
Next.
A middle-aged monk was guided into the hall by a female disciple from the Holy Buddha Sect.
"Zizhu of the Heavenly Lamp Buddha Sect, pays respects to the Saintess!"
This monk at the God Venerable Realm knelt down immediately upon spotting Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman.
"Rise!"
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman said gently.
The middle-aged monk rose to his feet, then backed away step by step.
Ye Yun curled his lips.
He looked toward the outside, noticing a massive throng of over a thousand people gathered there, all lined up beyond the hall.
"Luo Ye, this place feels a bit boring, I’m going out for some fresh air!"
Ye Yun whispered.
"Alright, if you run into any danger, just send me a message!"
Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman smiled, turned over her jade-like palm to pass Ye Yun a token, and whispered, "Should anyone dare to assault you, activate this token, and I’ll rush over right away..."
"Understood!"
Ye Yun chuckled, accepted the token, and slipped it into his storage pouch.
Earlier, when he practiced the Mahamudra Sutra, the Purple Light he generated only signified mastery in Buddhist Law.
In Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s view, his actual power still appeared to be at the Divine Monarch Realm.
In the entirety of Jade Buddha City, such power was truly at risk.
That was why Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman handed Ye Yun the token.
Ye Yun departed from the grand hall, smoothly left Qingya Immortal Residence, and stepped onto the streets of Jade Buddha City.
"So lively..."
Ye Yun surveyed the area, seeing cultivators bustling to and fro everywhere.
He strolled about leisurely with ease.
A secluded alley.
Master Hongyun, in the midst of using his heart imprint divine skill, abruptly opened his eyes, face filled with despair, and let out a heavy sigh.
He remained unable to reach his mentor.
"Could it be that my mentor has truly perished?"
Master Hongyun sighed deeply in grief, his spirits sinking even lower.
His own cultivation stood merely at the First Level True God Realm; to endure in the Land of Thousands of Buddhas, he needed to align with a mighty faction.
"Hongyun, you’ve made it to the Divine Land too?"
A figure appeared silently, halting right in front of Master Hongyun.
This was a red-robed young monk whose cultivation had hit the tenth layer of the God Monarch Realm.
"Mentor!"
Master Hongyun raised his head and recognized the familiar visage; tears welled up in his eyes instantly.
After braving countless hardships, he had at last called forth his mentor.
