Chapter 2021: The Receptionist Monks

His Realm is not yet high enough.

At the very least, the current Xiao Fan cannot be compared with Huian.

And this Buddhist Gate that Huian summoned…

It is likely something beyond what Xiao Fan can imagine…

"Legendary Ascension?" Xiao Fan muttered, recalling the concept of Ascension he had once seen in ancient texts within the star chart.

However, regarding Ascension… the records within were very ethereal and illusory.

But it is said that once one achieves Ascension, their Lifespan will be infinite and eternal…

Although some Old Antiques in the Hongtian Star Domain have lived for a very long time, most are just barely holding on.

Furthermore, some of the older generation who often burned their Essence Blood and sacrificed their Lifespan to fight in their youth have likely long since perished…

After all, it is very troublesome to replenish sacrificed Lifespan… some cannot even be replenished at all.

Now, Huian is actually able to achieve Ascension and enter a higher Realm.

Xiao Fan's thoughts were complex, and he even wondered… whether Huian possessed some supreme treasure.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Li had been using their own power to resist the illuminating power of the Buddhist Realm, which was extremely strenuous. They needed to guard their minds at all times; if they were even slightly careless, they would be influenced…

"Father, is this Ascension?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

He also knew a little about the theory of Ascension from the Xingluo Pavilion.

"It should be." Xiao Fan nodded, without giving a definite answer.

…

"Today, I kowtow with the power of Buddhist Dharma, wishing for the Buddhist Gate to open wide and deliver this Disciple!"

At this moment, Huian pressed his palms together, knelt on both knees, his expression extremely respectful…

He gazed intently into the Buddhist Gate, waiting for something.

Even Xiao Fan, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Li were curious: what was Huian waiting for?!

The next moment… a sound of Buddhist chanting from an unknown origin resonated between heaven and earth.

With the arrival of the Buddhist chanting, visions of heaven and earth descended simultaneously, and withered trees in the Star Domain Secret Realm began to sprout anew…

A misty spiritual rain actually began to fall… These raindrops were peaceful, capable of washing away one's own Evil Qi and even elevating one's state of mind.

"Amitabha… Granted!"

Within the Buddhist Gate, a resonant voice rang out.

Huian was overcome with excitement and kowtowed repeatedly to pay his respects.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Fan understood that the big figure on the Buddhist Gate's side had agreed…

Within the Buddhist Gate, two figures emerged from the haze.

These were two monks; both had their palms pressed together, their expressions solemn, with gentle smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, congratulations…"

"To knock open the Buddhist Gate with the power of Buddhist Dharma—it has been so many years since someone like you has appeared."

The two spoke one after another with smiles, slowly walking up to Huian.

"Amitabha… Thank you, Senior Brothers, for guiding me." Huian slowly stood up, pressed his palms together, and bowed respectfully to the two.

"You are too polite."

"Think nothing of it."

The two spoke separately; their attitude was very good, extremely amiable and polite, without any airs at all.

"Alright, Junior Brother, come with us into the Buddhist Realm," one of them said with a smile.

The aura radiating from these two was so peaceful that Xiao Fan could not even perceive their Realm…

It was not just because their Realm was high; it seemed that an indescribable power was guarding them.

"I hope you can wait a moment." Huian pressed his palms together in a salute.

"Very well." One of the monks nodded.

Huian looked at Xiao Fan, revealed a smile, and flew to Xiao Fan's side.

"Big Brother, are you really not coming with me? This is a great Opportunity…" Huian said seriously.

"Uh… no, no, I have elders above and young ones below to care for." Xiao Fan immediately shook his head.

"Uh… then what about you two?" Huian looked at Xiao Qing and Xiao Li.

He most wanted to deliver Xiao Fan, but Xiao Fan refused, so he decided to leave the Opportunity to his children.

"Not going, my parents are both here." Xiao Qing shook her head repeatedly.

"What about you?" Huian looked at Xiao Li again: "Your golden body is very similar to the golden bodies of the Buddhist Gate… If you go, you might become even stronger."

"I'm not going either." Xiao Li shook his head; he did not want to leave this Universe for the time being.

His father and sister were both here, and he was still thinking about his mother.

"This… alright then." Huian was disappointed again.

He wanted to make a final effort to see if Xiao Fan had changed his mind.

Now that he saw it, it was still useless; the other party was still unwilling to leave with him.

"Then… Big Brother, I am leaving." Huian looked at Xiao Fan, his expression full of reluctance, and bowed again.

Huian's bow was seen by the two monks who had come from the Buddhist Realm. A flash of surprise crossed their expressions… they looked deeply at Xiao Fan, hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.

Their reaction was noticed by Xiao Fan… and that inexplicable power within his body also appeared, then vanished.

"Big Brother, goodbye." Huian turned around reluctantly, intending to leave.

"Take care." Xiao Fan said solemnly.

"Hiss."

Just then, a Void Realm rift appeared nearby.

A black Dragon roared as it emerged, its entire body exuding an eerie Evil Qi.

"Ao Li."
