Boom!
As soon as the words "twelve incense scars" came out, it was as if a clap of thunder had struck, leaving Saint Monk Longhai and Daoji standing beside him dumbstruck, barely able to believe their own ears.
Twelve incense scars? Such a sight was unheard of, unseen before.
As expected of the foremost monk of the Great Tang, Saint Monk Longhai reacted swiftly. Although the news had stunned him into stillness, he quickly regained his composure. Without a word, he hurried toward the exit of the main hall.
When he reached the outside of the hall, his footsteps halted.
From a great distance, ethereal bell sounds could be heard in the sky, and between heaven and earth, chan sounds could be heard, as if whispering in one's ear.
Golden Buddhist light fell from the sky, transforming into a column of light. Around the column, flowers rained down in chaos, and Earth-Spawned Golden Lotuses surged from the ground.
Such celestial and terrestrial phenomena were unprecedented.
