Spirit Vessel Chapter 1172: Monk And Daoist

Chapter 1172: Monk And Daoist
Feiyun and Yiyi met trouble the moment they left Aquamoon Paradise.
“Amitabha.” They saw a monk breaking out of a boulder and blocking their path.
This surprised both of them - this monk was learning the dao within a special boulder.
He had a fierce expression like a vajra. His kasaya exuded a blinding golden light.
He placed his palms together to show respect toward Yiyi - clearly an acquaintance. She respectfully greeted him back.
He then bowed in the direction of Feiyun and said: “Benefactor Feng, I come from Repentance Temple. My dharma title is Five-willow, I am here to invite you to Buddhist World under the order of our abbot.”
Repentance was a temple from Time Immemorial - far stronger than regular central dynasties and perhaps even Aquamoon Paradise.
Of course, few knew the truth regarding these ancient lineages. There were only legends about them, not verified facts.
Feiyun had expected this invitation already due to his appearance with Di Zhong. The information they revealed must have spread across the human kingdoms and caused quite a stir.
Many big shots must have been looking for them. Of course, they wouldn’t be able to invite Di Zhong nor could they find him. Feiyun became the only possible target.
The two couldn’t respond before more people appeared - a group of daoists.
All of them looked transcending while wearing the regular uniform and holding a horsetail whisk. They looked like immortals from the upper world.
They greeted Yiyi before surrounding Feiyun and the monk.
One of them came over and bowed with a smile: “I come from Fortune Primogenitor Grotto, my title is Qian’er. Fortune Master invites you to Spirit World, this is his letter, please take a look.”
Feiyun knew the content without reading the letter. Nonetheless, Fortune Master was a top-ranking human with numerous disciples. Even a few lords of central dynasties were his students once. Feiyun couldn’t afford to offend him.
He took out the letter and read it before putting it away in a respectful manner. He smiled and said: “I’m unsure what I want to do. Five-willow Master invites me to Buddhist World while Fortune Master wants me to visit Spirit World. I cannot go to both places at the same time, what should I do?”
“Come with me to Buddhist World first.” Five-willow Monk said.
“No, come with me to Spirit World first, the master is eagerly awaiting your arrival.” Daoist Qian’er insisted.
“Hey, I was here first, you best stop what you’re doing!” The monk became irate.
Daoist Qian’er understood how important this matter was and didn’t back down. He glared and said: “Baldy, we got more people, not to mention a hand-written letter from the master himself. We’re showing more sincerity.”
“But I was here first.”
“We’re more sincere.”
The monk and daoist clearly knew each other and were on the verge of fighting.
Feiyun didn’t know what to think. In the eyes of the public, they were esteemed and venerable figures. They should have been benevolent and graceful instead of unscrupulous.
He thought that they might have been bandits from the same mountain before becoming a daoist and a monk.
Of course, everyone wanted Feiyun to come to their sect right now. This included the demon kings and demon queens, not just human cultivators.
Although Yiyi was far younger, she had a similar status due to being a direct disciple of a saint. She said: “Seniors, Feiyun and I must go to Chaos City to participate in the conference, I’m afraid he does not have time to visit your world right now.”
The deity had predicted that something like this might happen and told her how to respond. It was crucial to tie Feiyun to Aquamoon and not let him meet any other overlord alone. His knowledge was of utmost significance and must be guarded.
The monk and the daoist stopped their fight. Five-willow Monk’s kasaya was nearly pulled down; the daoist’s crest was also tilted.
They were aware of their undignified state but showed no signs of embarrassment. Five-willow Monk tidied his outfit and placed his palms together.
A Buddhist circle appeared behind him as he said: “Amitabha. What a coincidence, I also want to go to Chaos to compete on the dao with those immemorial demons.”
Daoist Qian’er fixed his crest and smiled, stroking his beard: “Bless the Supreme. That’s my plan as well, it is my pleasure to travel with Fellow Daoist Feng and Your Highness.”The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
Just like that, the group had two extra members - a monk and a daoist. Of course, a bunch of their disciples and descendants tagged along as well.
These juniors were all big shots - comparable to the nobles back in Sixth Central.
They didn’t get far before adding more members - Ximen Chuixiao and the turtle’s group.
Aquamoon Paradise initially had a portal leading straight to Chaos. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the demon invasion. Thus, they had to go the long way around - five different portals before making it to Chaos.
They arrived late at night and didn’t have time to appreciate the sheer size of this ancient city. Instead, they came to a training manor owned by Aquamoon.
Yiyi thought that Feiyun was virtually one of them at this point. He was fine to come to the manor despite the female disciples there.
The same couldn’t be said for the rest of the group. Repentance Temple and Fortune Grotto had their own place in Chaos City, but the monk and daoist were afraid of losing Feiyun. Thus, they found a nearby inn to stay in.
As for Ximen Chuixiao, he bid goodbye the moment they entered Chaos City. He mentioned having to meet a woman for a business deal that had been overdue for three hundred years.
Feiyun understood that it must have been another of Chuixiao's unsavory ventures, but would the woman still remember it three centuries later?
He then went back to thinking about his own issue - Dongfang Jingyue. Yiyi had ordered people to go look for her. News should come back tomorrow.
As for Yiyi, she was curious about this woman. How did she become noticed by the deity?
Feiyun didn’t cultivate after entering his room at the manor. He took out Heaven Jewel and found his mind to be free from unnecessary thoughts.
So this was an embryo capable of becoming a saint artifact. Fo Canzi, despite being powerful, still couldn’t predict who would inherit his Buddhist art. Thus, he left this to Shui Yueting and asked her to give it to his inheritor in the future.
“Senior, I don’t know why you left this to me but the Soul Spirit Stone inside is exactly what I need. Thank you.”
This stone ranked third among the eighteen, perhaps even more valuable than a drop of blood from a grand saint.
It could help an empty embryo condense a spirit but most importantly - for someone who had lost a soul regain theirs.
Although he couldn’t revive Nangong Hongyan yet, he could still use it to gather her soul and memories. He had been waiting for this for a long time now.
