Chapter 960 Saints Writing a Scripture

The ancient tree swayed as its green leaves scattered a green haze onto the surroundings.

A divine aura spread from the tree while a life-like black phoenix perched on one of its branches leisurely combed its gorgeous, fire-like feathers.

Under the ancient tree, a monk interpreted the dao while a woman lowered her head and conversed with him.

Both of them were bathed in sacred dao light, making them appear as transcendent as immortals in a dream.

Lin Xun stood in a trance some distance away. It felt as if time had been rewound to the ancient era, and he was seeing a scene occurring on a divine land.

Lin Xun was certain that the monk with a delicate and handsome appearance and the stunningly beautiful woman were Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen.

Moreover, the giant ancient tree overflowing with green haze was likely the Bodhi Tree!

Lin Xun found himself gradually being immersed in the sound of sutra chanting and was unable to think about anything else.

"The only way to surpass the Universal Mercy and Succor Art is to combine the essence of the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and the Silent Annihilation Art. If successful, the result might be a scripture that transcends all previous arts."

"Then starting today, I will interpret the dao with you. If we can achieve our wish, I will not regret it even if I die nine times."

"That will be a great blessing!"

Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen talked under the Bodhi tree. Each word and sentence rang out like the morning bell or the evening drum, emitting the mysteries of the great dao.

Flowers blossomed and fell as the years changed.

The two were oblivious to the passage of time. They interpreted the dao together, sharing and elaborating on their respective comprehension and perspectives.

The divine sound of the dao echoed around them, making the atmosphere grow increasingly sacred and tranquil.

The Bodhi Tree swayed as if also listening to the great truth of the dao, gradually learning the two Saints’ dao and arts.

At some unknown time, Lin Xun found himself seated on the ground. His mind was still in a daze and his consciousness was muddled while the profound truth of the dao surged in his head.

He forgot the passage of time, the sky, the land, and himself.

Lin Xun didn’t even know what he was comprehending. As the saying went “It is impossible to clearly describe the true meaning of anything.”

The years passed, and several springs and autumns went by in a snap of the fingers.

The Bodhi Tree grew increasingly tall and strong. Its trunk rose into the heavens as its branches and densely packed leaves spread across the sky, sprinkling luminous green haze.

Under the tree, the monk and the woman still talked occasionally. However, they were becoming increasingly taciturn.

They had clearly reached a critical juncture and were using great willpower and wisdom to derive a completely new dao.

The only time they would communicate with each other was when they gained new inspiration or comprehension.

Lin Xun was unaware of all this. His mind and body were in a peculiar state resembling the ‘formless mass of chaos’ as he was being flooded by the profound truth of the dao.

……

It was an enlightening experience that crossed the boundaries of time and was marvelous beyond description.

It was like time traveling to the ancient era and listening to two Saints interpreting the dao and creating a new art, an event that was inconceivably impossible.

Unfortunately, the profound truth Lin Xun heard was limited to his cultivation level. He could only understand the dao truths below the King stage.

On the other hand, the dao expounded by the two Saints had long since reached the realm above the Saint stage!

However, Lin Xun was oblivious to this. He was in a state of complete immersion absent of all thoughts and the senses...because all six of his senses were engulfed by the profound truth of the dao.

……

An unknown amount of time passed. It might be an entire cycle of the mortal world or perhaps only a split second. In his trance, Lin Xun felt something and suddenly snapped awake.

Under the Bodhi Tree, Duji’s beard and hair were snow-white. He looked old, every inch of his skin appearing wrinkly like withered bark. It seemed as if he was about to pass away.

The Black Phoenix Saint Queen also appeared thin and emaciated. Her youthful beauty was gone, and frost hung from her temples. Her gorgeous and holy appearance now gave off a sensation of a flickering candle that would be blown out at any moment.

The sight caused unexplainable emotions to rise in Lin Xun’s heart. He was also indescribably shaken. The merciless and sorrowful nature of time was embodied to the fullest in this very moment.

However, the eyes of Duji and the Saint Queen were as bright as the starry sky, clear, and seemed to contain infinite depth. They looked at each other and revealed perfectly satisfied smiles.

Behind them, the Bodhi Tree’s branches, leaves, and bark were falling off. The tree seemed barren and dull as if it was about to decay.

However, it was still strong and seemed capable of supporting the heavens as it stood under the sky.

"After ten thousand years of derivation, the scripture you and I created has finally been completed today. From now on, this wonderful art will transcend the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and is destined to shine brightly for all of time." Duji\'s clear eyes were tinged with joy and satisfaction.

"This scripture combines the essences of the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and my clan’s Silent Annihilation Art. It can indeed be called a masterpiece that transcends the past and the present will inherit the future."

At this point, the Saint Queen’s tone suddenly changed, "However, once this scripture is released, it will definitely shake the heritage of the Earth Treasury Temple. Aren’t you worried that you will be regarded as a heretic?"

She continued, "You should understand that the Earth Treasury Temple’s roots and foundation were built from the Great Earth Treasury Scripture. The scripture you created has transcended the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and is completely different from it. Once it is released to the world, even a high status Saint Monk like you is destined to be regarded as a rebel and a heretic by the Earth Treasury Temple."

Duji smiled faintly. His voice was calm and contained a strong sense of determination as he replied, "If I am a demon, I will convert all Buddhas in the world into demons."

The Saint Queen\'s pupils shrank.

Subsequently, Duji said, "If I am a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world!"

The Saint Queen was utterly stunned.

In the distance, Lin Xun was also shaken like never before. These words were simply domineering to the extreme. It transcended all laws and displayed an attitude of the sole supreme!

It was unbelievable that such words had come from the mouth of a Saint Monk. If this was known, it would draw endless criticism and dispute!

"It turns out that you have already gained enlightenment long ago and saw a higher realm..." A rare trace of emotion appeared on the Saint Queen’s face.

Duji chuckled and said, "The time has come, let\'s begin."

"Okay."

The two immediately rose to their feet and looked up to face the sky. Their expressions turned proud, and transcendent divine light surged around them.

Their original aged faces, dried, withered skin, and snow-white hair...began to shine as a layer of sacred light covered them.

In the blink of an eye, they regained their previous appearances!

Duji put his hands together as a mighty dao sound left his lips. The surrounding world resonated as dao flowers appeared in the air, and droplets of light rained from the sky.

The Saint Queen began to write in the air with her finger. Characters that gleamed with divine light flowed from her fingertip, lining up to create a divine and eternal scripture.

The dao sound and the dao characters reflected on each other as they resonated with the world.

Heavenly flowers scattered from the sky while golden light gushed from the land.

Brilliant light gorgeously shone in the air as the sound of sutra chanting and the cries of a phoenix occasionally echoed across the nine heavens, presenting a grand and immeasurable phenomenon.

Lin Xun was rooted to the spot in shock, unable to believe his eyes.

The Saints were writing a scripture!

He recalled several old legends. In the ancient era, if a Saint managed to establish a new dao and create a scripture, a grand phenomenon would descend from the sky. It represented an unrivaled merit and an eternal achievement that would leave its mark across all of time!

Lin Xun had originally thought it was merely a made-up story, but he believed it now.

Amidst the divine light, Duji smiled and said, "Since this scripture we created transcends the Great Earth Treasury Scripture and the Black Phoenix Silent Annihilation Art, how about calling it the Treasury Silent Scripture?"

In this moment, he resembled a Buddha overlooking all of life.

"It\'s lacking in aspiration. The scripture we created will more than astonish the past, present, and future. It should be complemented by the word ‘great’ in order to reflect its great profoundness and meaning."

The Saint Queen\'s graceful figure was also bathed in the mist of divine light, giving her a dreamy charm.

"The Great Treasury Silent Scripture? Excellent!" Duji laughed heartily.

Lin Xun was unable to remain composed. He finally realized that the two Saint experts had sat under the Bodhi Tree and interpreted the dao for countless seasons in order to create a Saint scripture!

Rumble!

At this moment, something unexpected occurred.

Above the sky, space began to fracture and shatter, revealing a giant crack. Meanwhile, a spear shadow filled with supreme majesty flew out from the crack!

Clang!

The spear shadow vibrated loudly, causing heaven and earth to rumble as an indescribable killing aura spread and wove together into a supreme force.

In an instant, the flowers in the sky burst to pieces, the golden light from the ground was scattered, the bright divine light was dissolved, and peace was torn apart...

It was a sign of the world falling to destruction!

"It came after all..." Duji was surprisingly calm as if he had already anticipated this would happen.

"It was destined to come the moment we took this step. That is how it has always been. Since we have fulfilled our long-cherished wish, let us give our all and fight!" The Saint Queen\'s deep eyes were clear as terrifying battle intent pulsed from her.

"As you once said, there are no regrets even if I die nine times!" Duji put his hands together as his clothes flapped around him.

The two figures rushed into the sky.

On the ground, the Bodhi Tree swayed violently as if sobbing...

It all happened too abruptly and quickly, leaving Lin Xun still frozen in shock. He never imagined that disaster would descend just like that.

He raised his eyes to look at the sky where Saint aura surged like a raging sea while shining radiantly, making it impossible to see what was happening.

However, Lin Xun knew that this was a killing calamity directed at the two Saints!

It might be because they had taken a forbidden step or because they had created a scripture that touched the taboo, thus inviting this great calamity.

"It was destined the moment we took that step. That is how it always has been......the meaning of these words is too terrifying to imagine..." Chills shot up Lin Xun’s body.

"It\'s him!" Lin Xun soon stiffened when he saw a golden figure emerge from the giant crack in the sky. It was as if the sole overlord of the world was descending upon the realm, shocking the nine heavens and the ten lands.

Boom!

Lin Xun\'s mind loudly buzzed as the scene before his eyes faded like bubbles...

He tried to open his eyes, but he could no longer see anything. He seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool, feeling as if everything was spinning wildly around him.

Amidst the murkiness, Lin Xun seemed to hear the voices of Duji and the Saint Queen again.

"Remember it!"

"Never forget..."
