Looking at the old monk in front of him, Luo Men felt that the old monk's Indestructible Vajra Divine Art had indeed reached an extremely profound level, as the power of his palm strike hadn't crippled the old man.
However, he also knew that after this palm strike, the old man wouldn't recover for at least ten years, and his right hand, which had clashed with Luo Men's, would likely never be able to use such a powerful Vajra Palm again without some miraculous elixir.
After a moment of thought, Luo Men had no intention of directly killing the old monk; there was no need to kill him.
Moreover, an old man who was alive and severely injured by him could better demonstrate his strength. The San Yi Sect needed to establish a firm foothold in the future era, and that required sufficient strength and reputation.
The old monk's own strength, and his crippled hand, would serve as a good symbol. In the future, no one would dare to provoke him carelessly.
The future Zhang Zhiwei only unleashed a massacre in a fit of rage after his junior brother died, and a group of people simply couldn't comprehend what a peerless expert truly was.
Luo Men was different; in his future era, he wouldn't need to care about others' opinions; he would make others care about his.
"It seems the Little Boy and Fat Man will be launched in just over a year. I wonder if I can survive the nuclear explosion."
Luo Men's face was as calm as a gentle breeze, but in his heart, he suddenly thought of the future nuclear explosion event.
To be honest, he was very interested in this ultimate human weapon.
Moreover, theoretically, with Inverse Life Triple plus Divine Spirit, and then acquiring the main body's energy absorption ability through the Mirror Dimension, followed by energy absorption to replenish energy, Inverse Life Triple to maintain form, and Divine Spirit to decompose nuclear radiation, he theoretically possessed the ability to survive a nuclear explosion. It was highly feasible. If he could survive a nuclear explosion, his main body should also be able to, and then there would be no need to fear nuclear explosions at all.
"The Celestial, I admit defeat."
However, the old monk's voice came, his face filled with despair.
With one hand crippled, and Luo Men having displayed such terrifying strength, he had no way to escape. If he continued to fight Luo Men, he might just die and meet the Buddha prematurely.
Although he wasn't afraid of death, dying like this would have too great an impact on Shaolin; he needed to live.
"Then, scram."
Luo Men watched the old monk turn to leave and spoke again, "By the way, I wasn't using a noun, but a verb."
The old monk's face instantly stiffened, and he wanted to turn around and show Luo Men what the wrath of a Buddhist King of Wisdom was like.
But after comparing the vast disparity in strength between himself and Luo Men, the old monk fell silent again. He didn't dare to turn back and ask, fearing that Luo Men might change his mind and want his old life.
A moment later, the old monk gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Lu Jin and Zheng Zibu stood beside Luo Men, full of curiosity, wondering if the old monk would really roll back.
"My eyes!" * 2
But the next moment, a golden light so bright it nearly blinded them directly flashed their eyes.
As for Luo Men, with Inverse Life Triple reaching the third stage and becoming passive, he was no longer a mere mortal. In a world of The Celestials, he would at least be a Congenital Dao Body; what was a mere flash of light?
And Luo Men also saw that the old monk could indeed roll back. Although the old monk had activated the golden light of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, whether one saw it or not was one thing; he truly did it.
From now on, no bald monk from the Shaolin lineage would dare to act presumptuously in front of Luo Men.
"Alright, Senior Brother Lu, take the people back."
With that, Luo Men had no intention of lingering and directly flashed away.
He hadn't rested well these past two days. After resolving this trouble, he would go back and get some good rest. As for Lu Jin and Zheng Zibu, they could just slowly return to the San Yi Sect.
When he had just dealt with the old monk, all the ambitious individuals in the vicinity had been intimidated by Luo Men, so it was unlikely anyone would dare to harbor ill intentions. As for the journey back, Lu Jin and Zheng Zibu shouldn't be foolish enough to return openly; hiding their identities and going back would be no problem for them.
With the truly interested major powers no longer focusing on Zheng Zibu's situation, with their means, they basically didn't need to worry about being found if they hid themselves.
On the way back, Luo Men also realized that he indeed lacked a means for a grand spectacle.
Whether it was Inverse Life Triple or the palm techniques he had developed, while powerful, they lacked the effect of a grand scene.
How could this compare to Zhang Zhiwei's Golden Light Charm covering several kilometers, or the Five Thunder Method directly transforming into heavenly thunder to strike people, in terms of grandeur?
Looking at it this way, Zheng Zibu's Heavenly Master Talisman and Inverse Life Triple were indeed quite complementary.
Inverse Life Triple primarily focused on the body, manifested in strengthening the body, making it indestructible, and reorganizing and restoring the physical body, with limited other means. However, Heavenly Master Talisman could provide many more means.
If he could thoroughly study Heavenly Master Talisman, not just superficially like the future Lu Jin, the potential of Heavenly Master Talisman was still immense. Lu Jin's use of it was still lacking in many ways.
Although it seemed that Heavenly Master Talisman couldn't quite compare to the other strangely powerful Eight Wonders, merely allowing talismans to ignore various drawing rituals and draw talismans out of thin air, in fact, the potential of talismans was still very great; it was just that those who later learned Heavenly Master Talisman never truly diligently studied them.
At that time, if it became a heritage of the San Yi Sect, Luo Men could indeed thoroughly study Heavenly Master Talisman. The San Yi Sect was considered a Xuanmen (Mystic Gate) sect, and as an The Celestial, it should be quite normal for Luo Men to master Xuanmen talisman-drawing techniques, right?
...
"Uncle-Master, what happened to you?"
At this moment, the Shaolin Abbot, sensing the old monk's aura, also rushed out to greet him. But upon seeing the old monk, his face instantly changed.
The old monk was a top-tier expert, and currently the foremost expert of Shaolin, a being of extraordinary bearing.
But the old monk at present had a face like golden paper, and it was clear that his condition was not right. Upon closer inspection, one could even notice that the old monk's right hand looked limp, and combined with his complexion, it was clear that this was absolutely not a good sign.
"Uncle-Master, who was it! Was it the Old Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain, or..."
Gripping the old monk's intact left hand, the Abbot's eyes were filled with solemnity.
"The San Yi Sect The Celestial, Luo Men."
The old monk's face was bitter, and then he continued, "Not only me, but the Eighteen Bronze Men should also have been crippled by him. This time, our Shaolin has suffered heavy losses, and I am solely to blame. I will go into the back mountain to eat vegetarian food and chant sutras for atonement from now on. Also, before the The Celestial passes away, if you encounter anyone from the San Yi Sect, retreat three paces."
The Shaolin Abbot, upon hearing this, remained silent for a moment before solemnly nodding, "Alright."
And the weight of the three words 'The Celestial' would only grow heavier after today, because this young man was only sixteen years old and had immense potential for growth in the future.
