Although he had never seen the so-called Sky-float Boat,that didn’t mean he was unaware of its true value.
If, their White Brahma Temple,
could lay hands on that Sky-float Boat within the White Lotus Prefecture,
then their White Brahma Temple
would truly have struck it rich overnight.
Even if, their White Brahma Temple couldn’t hold onto that Sky-float Boat,
handing over the Sky-float Boat they possessed would still be quite a good deed.
Moreover, they might possibly because of the seized Sky-float Boat,
move towards positions of greater power and higher status.
“Master, or else…”
The youth, handsome to the point of bewitching, a flicker of greed barely perceptible in his eyes, couldn’t help but speak in a low voice to the elderly monk before him.
However, before he could finish his speech,
the old monk, his hands adorned with a string of White Buddha Beads, directly interrupted his young disciple.
“I have considered what you’re saying,”
“However, I am still hesitating…”
“Hesitating over whether or not to do it.”
“I am weighing the gains and losses of this matter.”
“If the benefits outweigh the costs, well and good, but if the costs exceed the benefits…”
“Then the consequences for us afterwards could be quite troublesome.”
The old monk muttered as he lifted his head, speaking softly.
Following the old monk’s words,
the young disciple behind him also fell silent.
Although, the young monk’s greed remained in his heart,
he had to admit that what the master before him said was true.
If the benefits outweighed their sacrifices, then so be it.
But if their sacrifices were greater than the benefits…
Would they really need to make a move against the people on that Sky-float Boat?
…
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
At noon, the sun hung high in the sky.
Currently, the temperature outside was particularly scorching.
Countless commoners had sought out cooler places to avoid the heat, even the men who had to work outside.
Under such weather, they still chose to avoid the sun as much as possible.
However, even in such weather,
the group from the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect was still driving a colossal Sky-float Boat, wandering incessantly within the White Lotus Prefecture’s borders.
Fortunately, Sky-float Boats generally had the capability to ward off cold and heat.
Otherwise, even Bai Yi, as a cultivator of Wan Dan Sect,
would still struggle to avoid the sweltering heat.
“Have you found it?”
Within the colossal Sky-float Boat, on the deck,
cloaked in a thin white cape,
the silent Bai Yi stood at the very forefront of the Sky-float Boat.
With his hands clasped behind him, after waiting for a long while,
he finally, unable to contain himself, softly asked his servant nearby.
“Not, not yet…”
A servant clad in grey clothes replied with a slight tremble in his voice, head bowed.
“How much longer will it take?”
Bai Yi’s face was stern, his mood seemingly unkind.
After all, everyone else desired the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Fire just as he did,
including the powers from the Sub-sect.
Therefore, each day’s delay
lessened his chances of claiming the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Fire.
Under such circumstances, it was natural for Bai Yi’s mood to be less than pleasant.
“It should, be soon…”
The servant responded with his head still lowered.
Upon hearing this answer, Bai Yi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Should? Soon?”
“How about this, three more days.”
“I’m giving you three more days.”
“If within these three days, you find the location of the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Fire, when we return, I will significantly increase your monthly compensation.”
“If you don’t find it, or if…
“Someone from the Sub-sect Power finds it first.”
“The consequences of that, you’re well aware of.”
Having said that,
Bai Yi closed his eyes in silence, as if waiting.
Meanwhile, the servants and guards beside Bai Yi hastened their search for the precise location of the so-called Heavenly Earth Spiritual Fire.
After all, as long as they were on this Sky-float Boat.
They all believed that, with Bai Yi’s identity and status,
the things he wanted to accomplish wouldn’t be difficult.
…
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
And it was in the early morning of today
that the Da Feng Dynasty’s Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect Power finally dispatched their own team towards the direction of White Lotus Prefecture.
It was precisely because of this action by the Sub-sect Power,
that Bai Yi became even more certain of the accuracy of the information.
At the same time, it added a sense of urgency to his heart.
It would have been fine if only his own group was searching,
but if people from the Sub-sect were to join the search as well,
the chances of the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Fire being found by Bai Yi and belonging to him would surely decrease significantly.
However, despite the urgency,
no matter how antsy he felt, there was nothing else he could do.
The Heavenly Earth Spiritual Fire, nurtured by the heavens and the earth, sustained by the world,
was not an ordinary object.
Finding it was never going to be easy.
So no matter how restless he was inside, he still had to wait silently on the Sky-float Boat.
…
Outside a grand hall of White Lotus Prefecture, White Brahma Temple,
the current Abbot of White Brahma Temple,
at this moment, was still standing there silently, calmly looking in a certain direction.
“Master, shall we take action?”
Behind the old monk,
the young monk with a strikingly handsome and somewhat eerie appearance asked again after a long silence.
This time…
the old monk seemed not to remain silent.
He quietly turned his head and glanced at the young monk standing beside him.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke, “Take action…
“If we succeed this time, we may not have to stay in such a small place anymore.”
“Being summoned back by the Main Sect is not out of the question.”
Although the Abbot’s voice was somewhat hoarse,
his expression was one of utter determination.
He had established the Sub-sect of White Brahma Temple within the Da Feng Dynasty,
primarily because he wanted to advance into the Main Sect through his own efforts,
to practice the more profound White Lotus Buddhism and absorb the more potent White Brahma Force.
Now that such an opportunity lay before him,
why shouldn’t he take a gamble?
Why not give it a try?
“However, before taking action…”
“We need to make some preparations in advance.”
The old monk continued,
then he waved his hand.
He took out a white lotus flower about the size of a palm from within his body.
As soon as the palm-sized white lotus flower appeared,
the nearby White Brahma Force began to gather towards the old monk at a terrifying speed.
Aside from the increased concentration of White Brahma Force,
inside White Lotus Prefecture, the omnipresent White Brahma Lotus roots,
were now growing rapidly at an alarming rate,
and they were moving at an extraordinary pace towards the Sky-float Boat within the Prefecture’s territory.
With the passage of time, the White Brahma Lotus roots began to encircle the Sky-float Boat.
Interestingly enough…
that Sky-float Boat seemed to be oblivious to the changes around it.
“It’s about time.”
“Now, we should take action.”
The old monk watched his disciple quietly,
then opened his hands,
Leveraging the powerful White Brahma Force within him, his figure slowly levitated into the void.
Gradually approaching the Sky-float Boat’s location.
…
Aboard the Sky-float Boat, at the very front of the deck, at the bow,
the Bai Family member of the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect, Bai Yi,
was still closing his eyes in silence, waiting for good news from his servants.
