Chapter 1152: Chapter 1151: Buddha Says It’s Ineffable

Yue Changhe’s grandfather soon followed in his father’s footsteps; the two men stood side by side, motionless, like a pair of statues.

These two had blood on their hands, and the monk and the eagle-eyed man, receiving one each, captured them to settle the matters, making the journey worthwhile.

Considering how ruthless these two elderly men appeared, it was likely they had committed more than one or two crimes.

At first, when the monk and the eagle-eyed man met Lu Yang, calling him Worldly Venerable was just politeness, but as things developed, they truly believed Lu Yang was the Worldly Venerable.

With an ability to predict the future and never denying the title of Worldly Venerable, it seemed he might indeed be the true Worldly Venerable!

Even if he wasn’t, he must be a supreme being closely related to the Worldly Venerable.

Thinking of this, the monk trembled with excitement, never dreaming he would one day meet the Worldly Venerable.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Yue Changhe’s relatives kept coming one after another to cause trouble—such good people.

Had he inadvertently grown to the extent that he could solve problems without the help of an Immortal?

Kneeling on the ground, Yue Changhe bowed reverently to the Worldly Venerable and asked sincerely, "Worldly Venerable, what exactly is inside this jade pendant?"

The Worldly Venerable smiled inscrutably and replied, "Indescribable."

Yue Changhe looked up and met the Worldly Venerable’s weathered gaze. His heart trembled, feeling as if he had grasped the meaning, yet understood nothing at all.

In that moment, Yue Changhe felt profoundly fortunate; he understood that his fate with the Worldly Venerable was complete. If the Worldly Venerable were to reveal anything further, it might damage his own destiny.

Having the Worldly Venerable enlighten him and handle his two major enemies was already an enormous stroke of fate; he dared not ask for more.

In fact, Lu Yang had recognized at a glance that the jade pendant was a legacy left by a Crossing Tribulation Cultivator—it was quite a decent artifact.

However, stating some things too clearly would strip them of their mystique.

...

"Brother Eagle, when you’re free, come to Buddha Country. I’ll treat you to mush," the monk said as he bid farewell to the eagle-eyed man at the border.

Thinking of the taste of mush, the eagle-eyed man hastily waved his hand, "No thanks, no thanks. Better you come to Demon Nation, and I’ll treat you."

The monk took Yue Changhe’s grandfather to Western Paradise Temple, confirmed his identity, and then immediately reported the matter concerning Soybean Temple, until even Abbot Ming Yu was informed.

"What, the Worldly Venerable has appeared and is well-versed in time?"

Master Ming Yu’s first thought was that this was the act of Sui Yue Venerable; however, he quickly realized that was unlikely since the Venerable acted discretely and wouldn’t let news spread.

In Mahavira Hall, Sui Yue Venerable listened to Master Ming Yu’s report, his expression strange, and after holding back for a while, eight words burst forth.

"An old acquaintance’s deed, let him be."

After all, Lu Yang could be considered a Future Buddha, so calling him the Worldly Venerable wasn’t wrong.

Originally, the incident of Soybean Temple only spread among a few nearby cities, but ever since Western Paradise Temple received the news, the legend of Soybean Temple silently spread throughout Buddha Country.

As more and more people learned of the existence of Soybean Temple, Lu Yang was pleased to set a rule that allowed Soybean Temple to appear randomly anywhere in Buddha Country, thus adding an extra layer of mystery. It was all up to chance whether people would encounter Soybean Temple.

Although only a very few had ever entered Soybean Temple, everyone who came out had gained a tremendous opportunity—even Integration Period Cultivators benefited greatly, saying they had glimpsed the path to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

People said that anyone who entered Soybean Temple was recognized by the Worldly Venerable, who could grant any of their wishes.

Lu Yang hadn’t bestowed the opportunity for Soybean Temple to gain fame; rather, it was to train his skill in using rules. Fame was an unexpected result.

"But I see you smiling quite happily after you became famous." Immortal Fairy was puzzled. Ever since Soybean Temple had become well-known, Lu Yang would occasionally head out to a teahouse, order a pot of tea, and quietly listen to the discussions of worldly people.

For example, Lu Yang was currently sitting in a teahouse, sipping tea that had been brewed several times and had lost its flavor.

"This is a smile of joy from helping others," Lu Yang earnestly explained.

"Have you heard? Soybean Temple can also help people conceive. Mr. Song’s wife has a connection with Buddha, and after visiting Soybean Temple, her belly grew quite quickly."

Lu Yang’s smile froze on his face. Spreading rumors, huh? Who exactly was Mr. Song’s wife, and since when did Soybean Temple deal with fertility matters?!

Although he occasionally heard things in the teahouse that were not related to Soybean Temple, those were minor issues that Lu Yang could selectively forget.

"Here, I lay down the [Rule: In the teahouse, I cannot hear any rumors about Soybean Temple]."

Now he only heard good things.

"What a wonderful place Buddha Country is."

Lu Yang stretched lazily. The teahouse wasn’t a particularly interesting place, and after sitting there for a day, he felt a bit bored.

It was only while in the teahouse that he would casually stop rampaging carriages, teach lessons to arrogant young ladies, watch the top two warriors on the martial leaderboard duel, catch thieves trying to plant stolen goods in his hands and falsely accuse him, and reveal his immortal powers to clear his name, among other things.

Upon returning to Soybean Temple, he saw Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi eagerly inviting him to join them in plotting something significant.

"Senior Brother Lu, seeing that you’ve almost mastered your rule cultivation, should the three of us join forces to practice some techniques to deal with my husband?"

"Ah?"

Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat. He was all for teaching Qilin Immortal a lesson, but please don’t drag him into it!

He quietly stepped back, offering an apologetic smile, "Perhaps it’s best if I don’t get involved in family matters?"

"How can you consider yourself an outsider, Little Yang? You are Xiao Ling and Lianyi’s senior brother. You’re definitely one of us!" Immortal Fairy felt Little Yang was being too modest.

Lu Yang shook his head regretfully, "Honestly, although I now possess an immortal body, I still can’t control its power well. If the three of us were to practice together, I might accidentally hurt someone."

"For example, look at this Buddha’s Handprint!"

Lu Yang shouted loudly, and a massive Buddha’s hand descended from the sky, vast and boundless, with countless temples sitting in its palm, and the sound of Buddha echoing endlessly.

Then, the Buddha’s handprint disintegrated in mid-air, breaking into pieces that fell onto the desert causing the earth to tremble.

A small fragment falling on a city could destroy it.

"Or take the Three Flavored True Fire!"

Lu Yang exhaled the Three Flavored True Fire, scorching the desert into a glassy state. Anyone tasting it could discern different flavors.

"Originally, I only intended to scorch a hundred miles of desert, but I accidentally ended up burning a thousand miles," Lu Yang shook his head, feeling quite dejected.

"Or like Heaven and Earth in an Inch."

Lu Yang took a step forward, seizing the opportunity to use Heaven and Earth in an Inch to disappear for a while. After a few days, when he returned dusty and worn, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi would see it hadn’t been easy for him and realize his lack of familiarity with controlling his immortal body, so they would no longer invite him.

The next moment, Lu Yang appeared on a cliff in a frozen tundra.

He fell into deep thought. Was there such a cold place in Buddha Country?
