Chapter 773: The Identity of the Little Nun

Silence, like a plague, spread among the crowd.

Watching the little nun playing and frolicking with the Profound Nether Owl, all the cultivators were stunned.

This was the Profound Nether Owl, a terrifying fierce beast with combat power comparable to the third phase of the Star Luo Realm; when it turned fierce, it was common for it to treat cultivators like snacks.

Yet now, such a fierce beast was actually being teased and played with by this little nun as if it were a house pet?

If the little nun's conversion of Ye Lin with just a few words earlier had only made everyone wary, then her ability to instantly convert the Profound Nether Owl left everyone present in shock.

And the most shocked of all was clearly its master, Gu Tianshou!

"Come back! You stupid bird! Get back here!"

Gu Tianshou desperately channeled his beast-taming seal techniques, his hands moving so fast they nearly cramped, wanting to make the Profound Nether Owl obey him again.

But no matter how hard he tried, the Profound Nether Owl acted as if it couldn't see him at all, continuing to play with the little nun on its own, leaving its master, Gu Tianshou, behind.

One must know that when Gu Tianshou himself tamed this Profound Nether Owl, he had exhausted all his strength to finally succeed.

And now it had just been snatched away by someone else?

"Who on earth are you!"

Gu Tianshou finally realized at this moment just how terrifying the little nun before him was; this woman was definitely not a simple Buddhist cultivator!

"Amitabha, this poor nun is merely one among the myriad living beings."

The little nun pressed her palms together, her clear eyes containing a compassion that was hard to fathom.

"Patron Gu, can this matter end here? I have no intention of vying for supremacy."

Gu Tianshou's face turned pale and then green; he wanted to continue the fight, after all, the Profound Nether Owl was not the strongest beast he controlled.

But he also didn't know if, after summoning a stronger beast, it would be converted by this little nun just the same.

This little nun's methods were too bizarre, making even him feel a sense of dread.

With the inheritance of a Law-level fourth-change powerhouse about to appear, there was truly no need to plant such a strong enemy here.

"Since you insist on protecting him, then I, Gu Tianshou, will give you this face, but!"

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Tianshou's eyes as he directly issued a harsh warning.

"This guy had better truly enter the Buddhist gate, otherwise, I will still kill him!"

"Amitabha, then this poor nun thanks Patron Gu for showing mercy."

Although this little nun possessed formidable strength, she did not have the slightest intention of being aggressive; on the contrary, she was very polite.

After confirming that Gu Tianshou would not continue to attack, the little nun raised her hand and gave a light wave, and the Profound Nether Owl flew up.

"Go back, return to your master's side."

The Profound Nether Owl flapped its wings a few times, its golden pupils first revealing a look of human-like confusion, followed by being filled with terror.

The Profound Nether Owl let out a strange cry and hid directly behind Gu Tianshou, shivering like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

After retrieving the Profound Nether Owl, Gu Tianshou's face looked rather ugly; he glared fiercely at Ye Lin and turned to leave.

The commotion here also drew the attention of everyone present, as everyone was currently waiting for the barrier to dissipate and had nothing else to do.

"I never imagined that a Buddhist daughter from the Spirit Mountain of the Western Realm would actually come to my Eastern Profound. I just don't know which of the eighteen temples you belong to?"

The crowd looked toward the person who spoke and discovered that the speaker was actually the leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Dao Sect, Su Lingjun!

Looking across the Eastern Profound Domain at those with a bone age under five hundred years, Su Lingjun could be called the undisputed number one!

Could this little nun actually attract Su Lingjun's attention?

Ye Lin was also astonished at this moment; he really had chosen the right person to cling to—this little nun's thigh was much thicker than it looked!

For all Buddhist cultivators, Spirit Mountain was the undisputed number one sacred mountain.

Some people even traveled from distant lands, kneeling every three steps, bowing every five steps, and kowtowing every seven steps, just to go and pay homage to Spirit Mountain.

And there were only eighteen temples on Spirit Mountain, known as the Eighteen Temples of Spirit Mountain; each temple had a great background, and it was said that even saints dared not trespass into the Eighteen Temples of Spirit Mountain.

"This poor nun comes from Flying Immortal Temple," the little nun replied.

"A Buddhist daughter of Flying Immortal Temple? Are you Fanxin?"

Su Lingjun's pupils could not help but shrink.

Gu Tianshou, standing to the side, also couldn't help but widen his eyes. No wonder, no wonder this little nun could convert his Profound Nether Owl so easily!

Buddhist daughter Fanxin, the Bodhi Buddha Body that appears once in ten thousand years!

It was said that this woman could converse with gods and Buddhas the moment she was born, and the moment she opened her eyes, the sky was filled with Buddhas chanting scriptures for her.

Before she had even stepped onto the path of cultivation, she had been designated as a Buddhist daughter by Flying Immortal Temple, one of the Eighteen Temples of Spirit Mountain.

"I didn't expect Patron Su to recognize this poor nun." Fanxin pressed her palms together, her expression serene.

"With your status, why have you come to my Eastern Profound?" Su Lingjun asked curiously.

"My master instructed me to come to the Demon Sealing Realm to retrieve something. Back then, a holy monk from my Flying Immortal Temple went out into the world to suppress the Extinction Demon Lord and unfortunately passed away," Fanxin explained.

"So that's how it is. Then, Master Fanxin is a renunciant, so you shouldn't be competing with us for treasures, right?" Su Lingjun smiled faintly.

He didn't care about the others, but Fanxin was different.

Judging by Fanxin's actions just now, this little nun's Buddhist Dharma had already reached an extremely profound realm.

Even Su Lingjun dared not say that he could steadily defeat this little nun who looked somewhat silly and cute if they were to fight.

"Naturally, I will not."

Fanxin couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

In fact, she didn't want to come to this so-called place of inheritance at all; the main thing was that she didn't know where she should go.

Her master only told her to come and retrieve something, but didn't say what to retrieve or where to retrieve it.

The only thing her master told her was one sentence.

"Follow the crowd, and you will find the answer."

She did as her master said, but until now, she had gained nothing.

"Renunciants truly have broad minds. After we leave the Demon Sealing Realm, I will play host and invite Master Fanxin to have a vegetarian meal."

Having received a definite answer, Su Lingjun smiled faintly.

Although he didn't like Buddhist cultivators, these bald donkeys generally did not tell lies.

"Amitabha, thank you, Patron Su," Fanxin said the Buddhist chant in a dazed, cute manner.

The disturbance subsided, but the minds of the crowd were hard to calm.

They did not expect that a Buddhist daughter no weaker than Su Lingjun would emerge during the Eastern Profound Sect Grand Competition.

For a time, many cultivators began to whisper among themselves.

Fanxin, however, did not mind at all, her expression peaceful.

Ye Lin also approached at this time.

Fanxin.

This name was quite interesting.

"Amitabha."

Ye Lin first pretended to chant a Buddhist phrase.

"Master Fanxin, may I ask you a question?"

"Please speak, this poor nun will certainly tell you everything she knows." Fanxin nodded, her delicate features revealing a sense of Buddha-nature.

"Master Fanxin, do you know about... Brahma Cultivators?"
