Even when he managed to force the words out, they were stuttered and halting, each word and sentence punctuated by long pauses, as if a machine had completely jammed.
Simultaneously,
Guangyin Buddha's tone was filled with shock, his voice seemingly deep, raspy, yet trembling with quickened breaths.
Cheng Guang didn't respond to Guangyin Buddha's words but simply furrowed his brow.
"Jingnian..."
"Cleansing Thought Buddha."
The "Jingnian" mentioned by Guangyin Buddha must refer to Cleansing Thought Buddha.
Cleansing Thought Buddha existed in Cheng Guang's memory as a pious ascetic monk who, after many years of arduous cultivation in the depths of the mountains and forests, had ultimately achieved supreme enlightenment.
Buddha Tathagata had admired his wisdom and perseverance, taking him as a disciple and appointing him as a personal attendant.
From then on, Cleansing Thought Buddha had always stayed by the side of Buddha Tathagata.
