Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2390 199: Six Paths_2

"Exactly, Wisdom None's divine sight pierces illusions, making it tough to trick him in usual situations, so everything should be fine."

Wisdom None noticed the golden net staying steady and quickly remarked:

"Wisdom Void Bodhisattva, does it look clear of issues now?"

Hearing those words, Wisdom Void Bodhisattva lightly creased his forehead, then responded in a mild tone:

"We'll hold on a bit longer."

All at once, golden strands emerged across the golden net, and on nearer look, they turned out to be enigmatic golden symbols that streamed straight into the mouths and noses of Wisdom None and the cultivators...

In the meantime, a green-robed figure lingered near Wisdom Void Bodhisattva, eyeing the golden net he held with keen interest.

Drawing on his grasp of Buddhist principles, he tried to unravel its secrets, yet it proved quite taxing, allowing him just a faint sense that it could be an altered form of the four major Buddhist shifts.

Still, when set against the principles he had mastered and the baffling ones at the Immortal Pass, he picked up a few understandings.

"It must be a specialized rule shift for detecting hidden things, a true Buddhist divine ability, quite impressive."

The green-robed figure gave a soft nod of partial admiration, glancing around without rushing away.

He felt the hall's doorways guarded by unique barriers, so slipping out alone could instantly rouse every monk within and beyond.

From the setup inside, it was clear that his prior slaying of Pu Yuan and snatching of those 'walkers' had sparked doubts among the monks, with possible traps set for him outdoors.

So, staying put and observing the unfolding events seemed wiser, maybe yielding some surprises.

Right then, Wisdom Void Bodhisattva wrapped up his check on Wisdom None and the cultivators.

The golden net over Wisdom None and the cultivators abruptly shrank, dropping back into Wisdom Void Bodhisattva's grasp.

A warm grin spread over Wisdom Void Bodhisattva's features as he said kindly:

"Wisdom None Arhat, I apologize for the intrusion earlier, hope you won't hold it against me."

Though fury simmered within Wisdom None, he wouldn't challenge the top aide to the Western Great Bodhisattva, not with his own limited power, so he plastered on a grin:

"The Bodhisattva is just fulfilling his duty fully, no offense taken."

The air appeared to ease into friendliness.

Wisdom Void Bodhisattva paid no mind to his true feelings, content with the outward calm, he thought for a moment before adding:

"Well, one other matter: luckily, all you Arhats without slots are here. These eight hundred walkers can get picked now, and I'll escort them myself to the Reincarnation Six Paths, where the Six Paths Water will wash away their stains."

Wisdom None offered no resistance to this, but right away recalled something, gesturing at a handful of figures amid the group and declared:

"I'm short on walker slots too, just these ones will do the trick."

Wisdom Void and the other three Bodhisattvas plus the Arhats turned their gazes to those people, their eyes gleaming faintly.

A Bodhisattva to the left shook his head at once and commented:

"Walker picks aren't arbitrary, but Wisdom None, your efforts count for much, so we'll give them first dibs."

Wisdom None didn't dwell on it and simply agreed with a nod.

Wisdom Void Bodhisattva proceeded to allocate the cultivators among the various Arhats.

But when assigning the ones chosen by Wisdom None, conflict sparked.

"This fellow shows strong ties to Buddhism, so he ought to go to the Western Great Bodhisattva."

Wisdom Void Bodhisattva indicated the youth in purple armor and firmly declared.

Wisdom None's face shifted a touch, boiling with rage inwardly, yet he kept his tone subdued while trying to counter:

"Wisdom Void Bodhisattva, this was among the ones I picked out..."

Wisdom Void Bodhisattva answered steadily:

"Did Wisdom None Arhat miss my earlier words? He has deep Buddhist ties, clearly from a strong line, could rise high later on, best guided by the Western Great Bodhisattva, maybe birthing another Great Bodhisattva to aid Buddhism... Surely Wisdom None Arhat doesn't oppose Buddhism's legacy growing?"

"Yet for these walkers, I plan to nurture them properly too..."

Wisdom None tried to press further.

But Wisdom Void Bodhisattva had already decided coolly:

"That's how it'll be... Afterward, Wisdom None Arhat may choose two more walkers."

With that, he handed out the leftover cultivators to the other Arhats.

The Arhats showed delighted looks.

These walkers carried heavy sins, and converting each one meant vast merit.

If raised right and they succeeded down the line, it would mean endless merit, boosting their cultivation greatly.

Just Wisdom None wore a sour expression.

All the walkers he wanted had been claimed by others.

His top choice, 'Qian Baimao', got kept by Wisdom Void Bodhisattva in the name of the Western Great Bodhisattva.

He had no way to fight it.

For the Great Bodhisattva backing him had faced repeated losses against the Buddha Lord, his status had plummeted, sapping his own boldness sharply.

With a grim visage, he took charge of leading the cultivators toward the Reincarnation Six Paths.

The green-robed figure next to Wisdom Void Bodhisattva, seeing this play out, slipped soundlessly into a cultivator's sleeve.

They moved along with Wisdom None Arhat beyond the doorway's barrier, feeling out the area through the jostles.

Much like before, they quickly passed a direct corridor, reaching the spot of the 'Six Paths Pond Water'.

Slipping free from the sleeve.

This round, the green-robed figure intently studied the pond water.

The shadowy pool looked like a dark lotus pod, filled with ghostly chuckles and sobs resounding inside.

But at present, to his view, they came off as mere surface tricks.
