"Step aside, I will meet him myself." Li Chen gestured for Sanbao to retreat.

The Three Treasures focused intently, their eyes fixed on the opposite monk. He was calm and composed, unhurried and kind in his demeanor. However, his voice held a hint of hesitation as he spoke: "But Your Highness..."

"Now he wants to kill me, can you stop him"

Li Chen's question left him speechless.

The Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm and the complete Earth Immortal Realm are completely different levels. From this monk's ethereal and almost nonexistent state, the Three Treasures were completely unable to lock onto him.

At the same time, driven by his intuition, Sabao could sense that at this distance, if the other party made a full-frontal attack, he wouldn't be able to save the princess, let alone protect himself.

Within three breaths, the other party could kill everyone in their group.

It's terrifying, but it's true.

So, the three treasures gritted their teeth and reluctantly retreated.

Li Chen, with his hands clasped behind his back, looked at the old monk opposite him. He was dressed in tattered robes, yet possessed an air of detachment and nobility. With a casual tone, he asked, “Is there something”

The old monk clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, saying, "Amitabha Buddha, benefactor..."

"Don't call me master."

Li Chen raised his hand and unceremoniously interrupted a Terrestrial Immortal who was used to being treated with boundless reverence wherever he went.

"A lay donor, in Sanskrit it is called Dana-patra, also known as a charitable person, refers to those who give food and clothing to monks or finance religious ceremonies. It's also the term used by Buddhist monks to refer to those who donate money or material goods to temples."

I have never made offerings to monks, nor donated to temples, nor funded religious ceremonies. I am not a Buddhist believer, so this title of "lay donor" is incorrect.

Li Chen's words not only failed to anger the old monk, but instead caused his eyes to light up. He said, "Benefactor, you have bestowed five virtues: First, your fame spreads far and wide, and everyone praises you; Second, even among many people, you are not ashamed, nor are you afraid; Third, you are respected by all who see you, and those who see you are happy; Fourth, after the end of your life, you may be born in heaven and be respected by the heavens, or be born among humans and be respected by others; Fifth, your wisdom far surpasses that of ordinary people. When this lifetime is over, you will not pass through the next life."

"With these five merits fully attained, donor, you are fulfilled. This is but one of your merits, as you are destined by heaven and have a profound connection with my Buddha."

"In my Buddhist sect, we accept donations from devotees. The accumulated incense and merit of these offerings are also blessings, therefore, we respectfully address those who donate as "Lay Donors," which is the second honorific for donors."

Therefore, whether it be the former or the latter, both are Buddhist affinities. My Buddha saves all beings, and all beings suffer. Those who enter my Buddha enjoy the compassion of the Buddha, there is no difference.

Li Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of impatience in his voice.

"Monk, if you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of my way. I'm not interested in being a patron of your Buddhist sect, and I don't want to have anything to do with Buddhism, understand"

The old monk uttered another "Amitabha Buddha" and then said, "Benefactor, even if one enjoys all the riches and glory of this world, it is still inferior to ascending to the Western Paradise."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes and said, “You say I have enjoyed the riches of the world and am still blocking me here, so you must know my identity. Since you know my identity, you still advise me to climb your Western Heaven. Do you know that with just this sentence, I can make all the temples in the Qin Dynasty disappear”

And the three treasures behind him were also enraged by this statement. Their killing intent surged around them, like waves crashing, but as these powerful surges of energy reached the old monk, they vanished without a trace as if they had entered another dimension.

The old monk lowered his head and bowed, chanting a Buddhist incantation before saying, "Bricks and tiles are offerings, Buddha's walking in the mortal world. In essence, they are clay statues. If destroyed, so be it. But Buddha residing within the heart is impossible to destroy."t other possibilities.A maidservant replied tearfully, "Her Majesty's appetite has always been poor.
