Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

In front of the cave of Guanyin Temple.

Abbot Guangyan looked at Chen Ku and bowed, then presented the bracelet containing the relics, which symbolized the legacy of the leader of Mount Putuo, to Zen Master Tianhai.

His eyes fell on the barefoot old monk.

I also have some expectations in my heart.

In the past, Mount Putuo was a sect with the word "Zong" in its name. However, it was destroyed in the troubled times because it stood on the wrong side. Now, if the divine monk Tianhai could rebuild the Mount Putuo.

The status of his small Guanyin Temple will also rise accordingly.

After all, the Yuantian realm, the tenth level of martial arts, is already enough to meet some of the conditions for establishing a sect. Even if a sect cannot be established, rebuilding a large force is also a good thing.

Therefore, he hoped that the divine monk Tianhai would accept the token of the sect leader presented by Chen Ku and proclaim himself the sect leader of Mount Putuo.

Of course.

The expression of the divine monk Tianhai became gloomy.

Facing Chen Ku who offered the patriarch's token, he subconsciously took a half step back and said:

"No, I'm not qualified. I don't deserve it."

"why?"

Chen Ku raised his head, looked at the old monk in front of him, and said:
"Uncle Master, you are the most orthodox tenth-generation monk of Mount Putuo. You were one of the four great monks of Mount Putuo back then, and now you have entered the tenth realm of martial arts. Regardless of your qualifications or strength, you are the most suitable person. Only you can lead Mount Putuo back to its former glory."

"Do not……"

The monk Tianhai took another step back, covered his head, and said with some pain:

"You don't know that my current state is very wrong. Ever since the demise of the sect, I have been disheartened and my spirit has become quiet. Although I accidentally found the state of mind of practicing the Prajnaparamita Dharma and luckily entered the tenth realm of martial arts, there are still big problems with my practice. I am crazy and confused every day, and I am not so clear-headed very often. I can't even guarantee my own state, so how can I be qualified to be the sect master?"

How could the leader of Mount Putuo be a crazy and insane monk?
"Is there something wrong with your practice?" Chen Ku's face changed slightly.

Monk Tianhai covered his head and said, "Prajna is the supreme law for cultivating the mind and spirit, but to control Prajna, one needs a very high state of mind. My state of mind is lacking, so I have developed a demon in my heart."

Chen Ku could not help but remain silent.

The old monk Tianhai raised his head slightly, with golden and red light flashing in his eyes, and said:

"Since you are the leader of Mount Putuo appointed by Senior Brother Tianlong's remnant, then this position of leader must belong to you."

"What about you?" Chen Ku asked tentatively.

Old monk Tianhai exhaled, panting, and said, "I don't have many chances to stay clear-headed and rational, but since you have taken on Senior Brother Tianlong's last wish to rebuild Mount Putuo, I will naturally lend you a helping hand."

Chen Ku said honestly: "My disciple does not have the strength to establish a school at present."

"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. You... are pretty good."

At this moment, the divine monk Tianhai's eyes reflected Chen Ku's face and said:
"I, old monk, can sense that you have great potential and good fortune. It is only a matter of time before you can reach my level in the future. You may even surpass me."

Although he was not in a good state and was not awake much.

But when he was performing the Prajna Dharma just now, he could clearly feel Chen Ku's realm and potential. Although he had only reached the seventh level of the Zhonggang period, he actually possessed an aura that was no weaker than that of the peak of the eighth level.

Guangyan watched from the side and listened to the old monk talking.

I couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Although, he also knew that what the old monk Tianhai said was true. After all, as the abbot of Guanyin Temple, he knew best what the old monk's condition was.

and so……

He looked at Chen Ku again.

My heart moved slightly.

Although Uncle Master Tianhai bluntly refused the position of the Patriarch of Mount Putuo, he had already recognized Chen Ku as the eleventh generation Patriarch of Mount Putuo appointed by the former abbot Tianlong.

What happened to Chen Ku in the city today has spread throughout the city.

He also put his hands together and said to the monk Tianhai:

"Uncle Master, this..."

He suddenly didn't know how to address Chen Ku.

Because Guanyin Temple was originally just a small branch of Putuo Mountain more than two hundred years ago. It was just because the brothers and sisters who came down from Putuo Mountain at that time would often come to Guanyin Temple to rest when they came to Yandu City.

The reason why the old monk Tianhai chose to imprison himself in the Guanyin Temple and act crazy after the destruction of Mount Putuo was simply because this place, apart from Mount Putuo, occupied the largest space in his memory.

It is precisely because of the relationship between Guanyin Temple and Putuo Mountain that, in terms of seniority, he needs to call Tianhai monk his great-grandmaster.

Now, if the young man in front of him is the direct disciple of Abbot Tianlong and the chosen leader, then he would be his... junior uncle.

In the end, he still chose to call Chen Ku "Uncle Master".

"Today, Junior Master Uncle, with his body of the Seventh Realm, defeated a super genius ranked 363rd on the Genius List in Yandu City. He has crossed six small realms and has entered the Six Great Limits..."

Guangyan said softly:

"Such talent and potential show that the heavens are helping our Putuo Mountain lineage and have given Master Tianlong a successor. If it's him, maybe one day we can really rebuild our Putuo Mountain."

"The six limits?" The divine monk Tianhai looked at Chen Ku with even more admiration, and said, "With such talent, he is only one limit away from being as good as Senior Brother Tianlong back then."

In the past, the great monk of Mount Putuo, Zen Master Tianlong, once stepped into the seven realms of limits when he was young.

"Is Master Tianlong a strong man in the seven limited realms?"

Chen Ku said incredulously:
"How did such a powerful force come about back then..."

"Didn't Senior Brother Tianlong tell you what happened back then?"

The divine monk Tianhai said sadly:
"Putuo Mountain was destroyed by a fifteenth-level emperor. Once you step into that realm, you are already the only one in the world. You can be called a 'martial arts saint'. Not to mention my senior brother's seven limits, even the eight limits, or even the legendary nine limits, under the absolute suppression of the martial arts saint, there is no power to resist."

"Master Tianlong did not tell me this."

Chen Ku seemed to be somewhat shocked. He wanted to seize the opportunity to ask more about some things that happened two hundred years ago. He said:
"Since I am now the eleventh generation leader of Mount Putuo, I beg you to tell me, who destroyed our Mount Putuo?"

"It's no use telling you. That man was one of the ten rebel kings at the end of the Hong Dynasty. He already had the strength of an emperor. He was one of the ten rebel kings who had the greatest hope of conquering the world. Unfortunately... even though he had unparalleled cultivation and an army of hundreds of thousands, he still fell on the road of another emperor's rise and was pacified."

Monk Tianhai was in a low mood and said:

"It is precisely because even the enemies who destroyed our Putuo Mountain in the past are dead that this old monk fell into such a state of mind. Therefore, although you have assumed the position of the leader of Putuo Mountain, there is no need to aim for revenge on Putuo Mountain, because our enemies no longer exist in the world. Therefore... if you are capable enough, you only need to rebuild the sect at our original mountain gate."

Fifteenth realm, martial arts saint, emperor-level figure.

This was not the first time that Chen Ku had heard these words. The chivalrous king Pei Dongliu was known as the invincible martial arts saint who emerged out of nowhere.

As for the Yuan Kingdom's fifteenth-level great Qigong practitioner, Master Huode, was called the 'Emperor-level figure' in the world in the memory of Master Chang Rong, the owner of the Divine Eye of the Changsheng Family in the Heaven Realm.

"Is that so?" Chen Ku whispered to himself.

No wonder the divine monk Tianhai was in a depressed mood.

It turns out that I am alive in this world without even any enemies.

It is hard to imagine that an emperor-level figure in the fifteenth realm would fall under the general trend, thus becoming the current Taizu of Daji.

It is true that: success or failure is all in vain, and heroes are washed away by the waves.

"While I am still awake, I have acknowledged your identity and I have to give you a few more words of advice." The eyes of the divine monk Tianhai fluctuated rapidly, as if he was trying his best to maintain his state, and said:
"Faced with the important task that Senior Brother Tianlong has entrusted to you, I, the old monk, should be your protector. You have the potential, but I am ashamed to say that I can only be awake for about one cup of tea a day. The rest of the time I need to sleep and cannot leave Guanyin Temple. But if you really encounter something outside, as long as you come to Guanyin Temple, I will be able to protect you no matter what."

He said apologetically.

The old monk felt even more useless. Such an important task as rebuilding the sect was actually thrown on a junior.

however.

But he didn't know that what Chen Ku needed was the old monk's protection.

Even if it only works if you come to Guanyin Temple, it is enough!

This meant that he now had a backer who was at the Tenth Realm in Yandu City.

Even though this patron was usually not very sober, he no longer wanted any other bicycles as he was fighting alone.

"Since Uncle Master has said so, I promise that one day I will restore the glory of Mount Putuo."

Chen Ku said seriously:

“I feel obliged to do this.”

This is his guarantee.

Although he came here under a false identity to seek asylum, he is not a conscienceless person. Today he is under the protection of the old monk of Mount Putuo, and one day... he will rebuild Mount Putuo to the best of his ability.

This was also what he promised Shan Lingguan.

In the past, the three major sects in Youzhou, Huangjue Sect, Putuo Mountain, and Mingwang Sect, were all destroyed. He has shouldered the trust of the two major sects. One day, he must create a sect of his own on earth to repay those who helped him in the past.

At this time, the divine monk Tianhai said anxiously:

"You guys go now. My time for today is up. I need to sleep. Don't hurt you by mistake."

As he spoke, the violent and violent aura of the Tenth Realm radiated from him like a violent storm.

Chen Ku was shocked.

But the old monk said nothing and returned to an empty cave, where he sat facing the wall and fell asleep.

"Uncle, take care!"

Chen Ku bowed deeply:
"I'll come to visit you again if I have the chance."

After saying this, he nodded to Abbot Guangyan and said:

"I'm currently staying at... Guanyin Temple. If anything happens, you can always send someone to come find me."

Guanyin Temple is just a small temple with a fifth-level warrior as its abbot. If some things cannot disturb the monk Tianhai, then he will stand up to solve the problem for Guanyin Temple, which is also an act of repaying Mount Putuo.

"Good, good, good." Abbot Guangyan was overjoyed.

Chen Ku's combat power is at the peak of the eighth realm, which is an upper-middle level existence even in Yandu City, only lower than those outstanding people and quasi-powerful people in large sects and families.

If we can protect them, it will be more helpful than the often confused Tianhai monk.

Chen Ku nodded to Guangyan, then turned and left.

……

Solved a backing problem.

Chen Ku was walking on the way back to the courtyard, feeling himself walking on the street. The changing chart occasionally reported the names of some people who wanted to do harm to him and were interested in the treasure of the chivalrous king on him.

[An old man named Youmeng covets the master... If you kill him, you will obtain the evil spirit of the Eight Realms.]

[There is a flying old monster who covets the master... Killing him will gain the evil spirit of the Eight Realms]

[Jiang Yufei has bad intentions towards the master... Kill him to obtain the evil spirit of the Eight Realms]

Ever since the news of Chen Ku's treasure being exposed by the underworld tabloid broke the news, these reminders have been frequently refreshed on the change map. There is no doubt that these people are within a radius of fifty miles. At this time, they are in other locations in Yandu City, but because they covet and have unfavorable intentions towards him... they are captured by the change map that can sense the area within a radius of fifty miles.

However, Chen Ku has now found a backer in the Tenth Realm, so he is not nervous at all about those who want to harm him.

They are just people in the eighth realm, or at most at the peak of the eighth realm.

The ninth realm has not yet appeared.

If a ninth realm appeared, he would lead it directly to the Guanyin Temple and hand it over to the monk Tianhai to deal with.

"It would be best if more of these Eighth Realm masters showed up and attacked me. This way, I could take this opportunity to kill more of them and gather their evil spirits to prepare for the Eighth Realm Azure Dragon Transformation."

A thought flashed through Chen Ku’s mind.

In this way, he returned to the small courtyard prepared for him by Xiao Tianzuo.

"The master has returned just in time. The food is ready and in the hall. Do you want to wait a while or start the feast now?" The servants in the courtyard bowed to Chen Ku.

Chen Ku told them that it was time to serve the food.

Not long after, he saw a large table of things lying on it while sitting in the hall.

"It is indeed four dishes and one soup..."

Chen Ku was slightly startled and smiled:
“It’s just a little rich.”

I saw that he had prepared a roasted suckling lamb on his table. The lamb was a jade lamb, which was very rare. In addition to the roasted suckling lamb, there was also a golden fin soup, which was made with shark fins from the "Dragon Horn Silver Shark" that was only available in coastal provinces and cities, combined with various precious ingredients. There was also a stewed nine treasures, which was made from nine kinds of spiritual creatures, and a braised bear paw, which was made with the paws of the Fire King Bear...

"Please taste it, sir." The cook looked at Chen Ku expectantly.

Chen Ku picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bear paw and put it in his mouth. Before he chewed it, he felt a delicious aroma expanding in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he nodded.

Next, we tried several other dishes.

I just felt that my taste buds were satisfied like never before, especially the roasted lamb, which was so delicious that I had never tasted in my life.

"Not bad."

Chen Ku praised the cook:
"As expected of a famous chef from Yuanbei."

The cook gave a restrained smile of satisfaction.

Finally, Chen Ku spent half an hour to finish the four dishes and one soup by himself. With his good stomach, he did not feel bloated after eating so much. All the food turned into energy and nourished his stomach.

After finishing the meal, he looked at the moon with satisfaction and said to himself: "If one day, I no longer have to work hard on cultivation, I can eat delicious food every day without worrying about being killed by others, and live in a quiet and peaceful environment..."

However, the changes in the world's situation are not subject to his will, unless he can single-handedly change the world and create a peaceful world without war.

Unfortunately, that is too difficult and impossible to do.

But this did not prevent Chen Ku from rewarding himself in the next few days and asking the chef to cook different kinds of food for him.

The day for Shenwu Hall to enroll students is getting closer.

Five days later, four days before the Shenwu Hall started recruiting students, someone came to the door:

"Excuse me, Master Chen is at home. I am a clerk at the Treasure Pavilion. I am here on the orders of Master Helan to tell Master Chen that the thing you asked our Master to find out has been found."

Chen Ku walked out of the living room with a look of joy in his eyes: "Have you found the thunder spirit?" (End of this chapter)
